Eight hundred two two 7 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 1: two five two two two is the telephone number one 8 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: eight hundred two two two five two two two. It 9 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 1: is our pleasure to welcome our next guest to the program. 10 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,559 Speaker 1: He is the Armed Liberal himself. You can follow him 11 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 1: on x at The Armed Liberal, The Armed Liberal Mark Danzinger. 12 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 3: Welcome each John, How are you good afternoon? 13 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: I'm good, Thank you so much for joining us. So 14 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: we just had a big primary election in the state 15 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: of New York earlier this week where socialist New York 16 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: City Mayor Zoran mam Donnie's slate of candidates, where he 17 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: got behind three candidates for various seats in the House 18 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: of Representatives. They all won. He pulled off a hat trick, 19 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: including defeating a long time incumbent Democratic congressman who was 20 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: also chair of the Hispanic Caucus. Now it looks like 21 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: Colorado may be the next state where that happens, as 22 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: Socialists are prepared to knock off incumbent Democratic members of 23 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: Congress and win various primaries there. In the state of Missouri, 24 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: it looks like former congresswoman and DSA candidate Corey Bush 25 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: is likely to come back to the United States Congress. 26 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: What do you make of what happened on Tuesday and 27 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: what's on the horizon And the DSA looks like it 28 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: certainly has the wind in it's back. 29 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 3: DSAS definitely having its day, there's no question about that. 30 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 3: One of the things I looked at in New York 31 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 3: was turnout. And these are democratic primaries, but these are 32 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 3: districts that are so democratic they might as well be 33 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 3: the final And you know, in District ten, basically there 34 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 3: are half a million Democratic registered voters and something like 35 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 3: one hundred thousand of them voted, and it's pretty consistently 36 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 3: in the twenty five to twenty percent range that we're 37 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 3: seeing these kind of turnouts. And what it shows kind 38 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 3: of me is I don't think the DSA folks have 39 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 3: like overwhelming support. I think they have a brilliant and 40 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 3: well crafted political machine. I think the Democratic Party has 41 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 3: kind of given up on some of its foundational party activities, like, 42 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 3: you know, get out to vote, you know, doing all 43 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 3: the sorts of mechanics that make people win elections. They 44 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 3: just sort of don't bother anymore. But more importantly, and 45 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 3: this is something I know you've heard from me freaking 46 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 3: endlessly for years and years and years, what exactly is 47 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,359 Speaker 3: a Democratic Party stand for? Like why should I, as 48 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 3: somebody who's a random person living in you know, in 49 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 3: New York, what would make me think that, boy, if 50 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 3: I vote for those Democrats, I'm going to have a 51 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 3: better life. What's going to change? What's going to be 52 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 3: positive for me? And this isn't a new theme for me, right, 53 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 3: I mean, I tell a story where years ago I 54 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,239 Speaker 3: asked a couple of Democratic political operatives. We're a lunch 55 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 3: kind of talk in this fancy restaurant in West la 56 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,399 Speaker 3: The hostess in this restaurant makes about forty five rand 57 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 3: a year. Let's assume that she's a single mom with 58 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 3: two kids, has to live close to work, so she's 59 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 3: rent poor. She doesn't have a rich ex husband, she's 60 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 3: not getting massive alimony checks. So tell me what exactly 61 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 3: the Democratic Party has done for her in the last 62 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 3: twenty five years and this is probably twenty years ago 63 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 3: that I asked the question and he answers nothing, then nothing. 64 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 3: Now Democratic Party has lost plot and it needs to 65 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 3: find a plot real freaking quickly, because the people who 66 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 3: are going to take over what's left. What's the guy 67 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 3: on the internet who talks about take over a respected institution, 68 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 3: kill it, skin it, wear its skin. You know. The 69 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 3: people who are taking over are planning to wear the 70 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 3: skin of the Democratic Party and do things that I 71 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 3: don't think many of us are going to like, because 72 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 3: if I look at the cities where they've had power, 73 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 3: if I look at Seattle, if I look at Portland, 74 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 3: if I look at Chicago, laed will a big extent, 75 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 3: those cities aren't thriving, and they should be if these 76 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 3: ideas were really good ideas. 77 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: I want to read for you a statement that was 78 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 1: made by the co chair of the DSA regarding these 79 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: primary elections, and have you respond to it. He said, quote, 80 00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: we're using the Democratic Party as a ballot access vehicle, 81 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: not because we share its goals. We build our own organization, 82 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 1: get elected under the Democratic label, caucus with Democrats when 83 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: it's useful, and push our own agenda from the inside. 84 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 1: We see the Democratic establishment as an obstacle, not a 85 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 1: home end quote. 86 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 3: That's pretty much exactly what I mean when I talk 87 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 3: about wearing its skin, and I cannot believe. You know, 88 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 3: James Carvel came out, I think today and sort of 89 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,119 Speaker 3: ranted about it, and I think there were a couple 90 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 3: of Democratic members of Congress who started saying, you know, 91 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 3: we're going to form a separate caucus. We're going to 92 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 3: separate out from these DSA folks. But the word somebody 93 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 3: used was schism, and there's an absolutely aschism in the 94 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 3: Democratic Party. 95 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 4: You know. 96 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 3: Last time we talked, we were talking about Israel Palestine 97 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 3: a little bit, and one of the things I said is, 98 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 3: I don't think the Democratic Party is envisioned by these folks, 99 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 3: has room for people who believe in the existence of Israel. 100 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 3: And I think that's forget being Jewish, forget any of 101 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 3: that stuff. Israel is a Western democratic, pluralist state. It 102 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 3: operates in the kind of way, not exactly the way 103 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,679 Speaker 3: we do, but generically the kind of way that countries 104 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 3: in Europe and North America do, and that country is 105 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 3: going to get erased if these people have their way 106 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 3: and that's because on a fundamental level, the values they 107 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 3: have are fundamentally different from the values in the Enlightenment, 108 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 3: which led to kind of the good stuff that we 109 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 3: see in the West. And I hate sounding like I 110 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 3: don't know who's some crazy right wing person, because I'm 111 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 3: absolutely not. But at the same time, I think that 112 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 3: there's room for a activist government that helps people and 113 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 3: helps build an economy that my motto lately has been 114 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 3: more millionaires, fewer billionaires. We want to reverse some of 115 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 3: the antitrust easing that was done. We want to reverse 116 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 3: the changes in banking that centralized banking. We want to 117 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 3: have a sort of economy that has a lot more 118 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 3: moderate scale enterprises to it, which means we're going to 119 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 3: have a lot more entrepreneurs, We're going to have a 120 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 3: lot more middle income people. But we don't nobody's fighting 121 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 3: for that. And what we have on one hand is 122 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 3: people who want the government to own everything. Mandamie has 123 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 3: set out a cleitar playbook for the Governor of New 124 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 3: York to own a ton of the housing in New York. 125 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 3: And we have people who have this sort of notion 126 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 3: that it's all going to be used to it and 127 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 3: the government's not going to do much of anything. 128 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: Well, some of these candidates that were just elected or 129 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: I guess won their primaries earlier this week in New York. 130 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: I mean, they do believe in the version of socialism 131 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: that we learned about in political science school, where they 132 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: believe the government should own the means of production. And 133 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: one of them just did an interview not long ago 134 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: and said, yeah, would we get luck at One of 135 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: the things that we're going to try to do is 136 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: get rid of TSA PreCheck and have the government to 137 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: take over the airlines. We want the government to own 138 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: American Airlines, United, Southwest, Delta, all of them. 139 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 3: Well, and that's a real tell because probably half the 140 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 3: people in America don't fly much, and the half who 141 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 3: don't fly are people who are genuinely working class. The 142 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 3: people who fly, and these are the people who are 143 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 3: DSA and another funny story in a sack, are people 144 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 3: who are basically upper middle class, advanced degree kind of strivers, 145 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 3: and for whatever reason, I guess, they feel like the 146 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 3: world hasn't recognized their genius and this is how they 147 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 3: have to take it over. I'm in the Bay Area 148 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 3: right now, hanging out with my kids, and grandkids, and 149 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 3: we went to a restaurant in Palo Alto the other 150 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 3: day called Gots and Gots is a thirty dollars burger place. Right, 151 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 3: that's kind of It's nice. It would be a normal 152 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 3: restaurant in the middle American city. It's just very extensive here. 153 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 3: And I'm standing in line and I see a guy 154 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 3: walk by and he's wearing a Santa Cruz Antifa shirt 155 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 3: and just started laughing, right, because it's just so perfect, 156 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 3: and it's just the idea that you know, I'm Antifa, 157 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 3: but I like a good burger, right. I would never 158 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 3: go to Denny's. I would never go to McDonald's. I 159 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 3: would never eat no working class place. And you know, 160 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 3: I'm not going to nationalize something that's going to make 161 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 3: a difference to people who are working class. I'm going 162 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 3: to nationalize something that makes a difference to me because 163 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 3: I fly all the time. And that's part of my 164 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 3: frustration with these socialists. 165 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: Why is it do you think that Democratic candidates are 166 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: unwilling to have the debate with these candidates, Because whenever 167 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: I would see a reporter go to one of the 168 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: Democratic candidates in New York and confront them with something 169 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 1: outrageous that they're upon did, they would just respond by 170 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: pivoting and attacking Donald Trump. They would never say, Okay, 171 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: here's the case for capitalism, and this is why my 172 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: opponent and their beliefs in socialism is wrong. Here's the 173 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: case for having a border and not having open borders 174 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: as my opponent believes we should have. Here's my defense 175 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,319 Speaker 1: of having a police department, while whereas my opponent wants 176 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,079 Speaker 1: to abolish the police and abolish prisons and abolish much 177 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: of what we know of public safety. The Democratic candidates 178 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: seemed afraid to engage them at that level, and they 179 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 1: would just pivot and attack Donald Trump. 180 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 3: I think they are afraid. And I think they're afraid 181 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 3: because somebody once called it the messenger class, right, and respectfully, 182 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 3: you're part of the messenger class. People who are com 183 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 3: media or part of the messenger class. People who work 184 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 3: in academy are part of the messenger class. The people 185 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 3: who shape and have the discourse that all of us consume, 186 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:04,119 Speaker 3: and they've all been kind of subsumed into this worldview. 187 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 3: I mean, think about it. Four years ago, if you 188 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 3: had said, wait a minute, this is a guy who 189 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,319 Speaker 3: wants to go into a woman's locker room and like 190 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,199 Speaker 3: change with a bunch of women who really are unwilling 191 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 3: to have him change there. If you had said something 192 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 3: like that, had said even you know, this is a 193 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 3: challenging question. This is something we've got to really talk about. 194 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 3: You were absolutely excluded from public discourse. You got you 195 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 3: got fired, You've got a race to you know, you 196 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 3: were you were shamed. And we built this sort of 197 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:40,679 Speaker 3: reflexive kind of like cringe into our dialogue of if 198 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 3: you touch one of these third real issues, can't I 199 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,319 Speaker 3: can't say these things that would make the Margory Taylor 200 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 3: green if I said something like that. And it's interesting 201 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 3: because a couple of very brave people stood up and said, hey, 202 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 3: the emperor looking kind of naked there, like this doesn't 203 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 3: make a lot of sense. And it is course changed. 204 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 3: And we've gone through four or five waves of discourse 205 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 3: in the last in the last three or four years, right, 206 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 3: We've went over We've gone through you know, trans race, 207 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,959 Speaker 3: you know all blah blah blah. And it's the same 208 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 3: group of people, it's the same organizations, it's the same 209 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 3: philosophical message, but the foundational content, the lynch kind of 210 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 3: the message changes and you don't want to take those 211 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 3: people on. And if you're a politician and the Democratic Party, 212 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 3: it's worse because the worker bees, the people who make 213 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 3: a living doing party politics, the young people who volunteer 214 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 3: or work low wage shops and are really passionate about 215 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 3: seeing the party succeed, are virtually all of that mindset. 216 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,959 Speaker 3: And if you take that, if the Democratic Party is 217 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 3: going to rebel, it's going to rebel against the people 218 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 3: who are like the muscle and sinew of the Democratic Party. 219 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 3: It's going to be a challenging, freaking year for them. 220 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom has positioned himself as the Democratic establishment candidate 221 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 1: for president. He was the one that was saying Joe 222 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,079 Speaker 1: Biden was putting on a master class and shouldn't get 223 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: out of the race. Was the surrogate for Joe Biden, 224 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: and then when Joe Biden dropped out, he became a 225 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: surrogate for Kamala Harris, although those two remain frontemies based 226 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: on what they've written about each other in their books. 227 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: But Gavin Newsom certainly is trying to position himself in 228 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: that lane as the favorite, as the one that the 229 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 1: Democratic Party wants and wants everyone to get behind. Well, 230 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: now that it looks like the DSA is beating the 231 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 1: Democratic Party at their own game, Gavin Newsom has already 232 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: started to reposition himself. He of course was opposed to 233 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: the billionaire confiscation tax that the SEIU wanted on the 234 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: California ballot. He was trying to negotiate a deal with 235 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 1: them to take it off. Those negotiations went nowhere, we 236 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: are going to see that initiative on our November ballot 237 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: here in California, and they started attacking him publicly. The 238 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: SEIU did comparing him to Donald Trump, which in a 239 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: Democratic primary is not something you want if you're the candidate. 240 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: But today Gavin Newsom came out and on a dime said, well, 241 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: my opposition to this initiative was that it was just California. 242 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: What we really need is at tax on billionaires nationally, 243 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: and that's what I'm going to advocate for. We should 244 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: do this in all fifty states. And I think that 245 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: had the election gone a different way in New York 246 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: earlier this week, we wouldn't be seeing this from Galvin Newsom. 247 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: But Gavin's trying to read the tea leaves and he thinks, okay, 248 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: if the DSA hates billionaires and that's what's popular right now, 249 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: sign me up. 250 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 3: Look, I mean, what has Gavin Newsom stood for as 251 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 3: a politician since he's made was saying Francisco, I mean 252 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 3: certain people you think about and you think that that 253 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 3: person really kind of had like a framework, a political guide. 254 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 3: He has nothing except he wants to win elections and 255 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 3: have power, and he wants to reward his friends and 256 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 3: punish his enemies. And it's are you shocked by that? 257 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 3: No one should be what he's terrified of. And brightly 258 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 3: so is that if this initiative passes in California, you've 259 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 3: already seen the flight of the concords, the flight of 260 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 3: the millionaires or billionaires rather as they've headed out of town. 261 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 3: And people who aren't billionaires should be deeply, deeply afraid 262 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 3: of this because buried in this bill was a provision 263 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 3: that says that the legislature can its discretion change the 264 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 3: threshold for the tax and change the timing and scheduling 265 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 3: of enforcement for the tax, which means that if the 266 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 3: billionaire tax doesn't generate enough money, and nowhere in the 267 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 3: world has it worked and generated enough money to be 268 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 3: kept in place, they lowered the threshold, and now suddenly, 269 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 3: are you worth one hundred million? Are you worth ten million? 270 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 3: Are you a homeowner in California, which with an average 271 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 3: house price of right around a million bucks? Suddenly you 272 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 3: know we're looking at you because you're one of the 273 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 3: top twenty percent of the people in California and you 274 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 3: should clearly pay your share. So it's it's insane, and 275 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 3: it's it's terrible, and it's going to be it's gonna 276 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 3: be an interesting ride to watch what happens. 277 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: Do you think any of the DSA voters, the people 278 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: who came out locally and voted for Nitthia Rahman, the 279 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: people who voted for these candidates in New York City 280 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: look at Gavin Newsom and see someone authentic. 281 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 3: No, I don't think, But I don't think they'll see 282 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 3: they necessarily look at their own people and see someone authentic. 283 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 3: Chevalier woman in New York who you know who won 284 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 3: the race. If you watch her, she feels like she's 285 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 3: speaking from a playbook every time she opens her mouth, 286 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 3: Like I didn't get a deep sense of like her 287 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 3: as a person, and that you can be empathetic with her, 288 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 3: that you can understand or care about it, and that 289 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 3: doesn't mean she's not. I'm sure she has a private 290 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 3: life and she's a genuine person. She has a cat 291 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 3: or whatever, but her persona isn't one of relatability, and 292 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 3: relatability kind of doesn't matter when you're revolutionary. What matters 293 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 3: his power and the intention is to get it and 294 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,400 Speaker 3: keep it by any means necessary. 295 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: Mark Danzinger The arm Liberal.

I mean, I guess she could be, 436 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 2: you know, into women, but what maybe she just likes 437 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 2: the chicken wings. To quote the great Chris Rock, nobody 438 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 2: goes to Hooters for wings. That being said, Hooters, if 439 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 2: you'd like to do a live broadcast, contact our sales 440 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 2: team and I'll say nothing but nice things about you. 441 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 5: After watching Mexico be I. 442 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,919 Speaker 2: Actually did a live event once with Frosty, Hudie and 443 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 2: Frank at a Hooters, and those events usually someone ends 444 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 2: up blackout drunk. 445 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 5: Korea. 446 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 4: I just remember being approached, tugging on my bag and 447 00:25:56,040 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 4: then being on the floor and seeing my on the ground. 448 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,159 Speaker 1: They literally knocked her teeth out. Maybe they were looking 449 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:06,680 Speaker 1: for leftover chicken wings. 450 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,640 Speaker 5: These disturbing images show some of her gruesome injuries. 451 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 2: Okay, that's gross, all right, Maybe this whole putting these 452 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 2: stories on video is a bad idea. 453 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: Don't freeze the video right there there, I moved it. 454 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 2: Usually they don't show things that graphic on the local news, 455 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,719 Speaker 2: but the image of her losing her too. I mean, 456 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 2: it's very powerful image. I'm so sorry that this happened 457 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 2: to her, but that's rough. 458 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: Listen, she's the victim, and I have nothing but sympathy 459 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 1: for her. But lady, that's repulsive. 460 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 4: Shirt. My wrist is dislocated, I had scrapes on my elbows, 461 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 4: my knees were bruised. 462 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 5: But she says, what hurts even more is what happened next. 463 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 5: People walked by, saw her bleeding and kept going. No 464 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 5: one stopped, no one called nine to one one. 465 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: That's the most la thing I've ever heard, the least 466 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 1: surprising part of the story. 467 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,640 Speaker 4: It just hurts that this could happened around people and 468 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 4: no one could say. No one helped me, no no one. 469 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,120 Speaker 4: No one called the cops, no one called. 470 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:17,400 Speaker 2: I was like, I'm sure someone's on that, someone will 471 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 2: handle it. I don't want to get involved. She's bleeding everywhere. 472 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 2: I've got white shoes. 473 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: On teeth all over the place. 474 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 4: This poor girl, what an ambulance for me. 475 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:33,679 Speaker 7: I wandered around for who knows how long with my 476 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 7: mouth full of blood, non stop bleeding, no teeth, and eventually, and. 477 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 2: This is a World Cup watch party area, there's a 478 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 2: whole bunch of people in downtown Long Beach. Long Beach, 479 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,439 Speaker 2: PD is nowhere walking around seeing what's going on. 480 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: Okay, here's my theory. If you see someone who's an 481 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 1: obvious mess involved in a health crisis, I think most 482 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: people assume that she was probably homeless, and you just 483 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,879 Speaker 1: learn to block them out. It's just white noise. You 484 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 1: don't see it. When they ask you a question, you 485 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 1: don't acknowledge it. You just keep moving. I think that's 486 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:20,120 Speaker 1: what happened to her. 487 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:25,400 Speaker 2: We are, in a very sad but very specific way, 488 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,920 Speaker 2: desensitized to human suffering in Los Angeles. 489 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 1: It's weird, and I've mentioned this on the air before. 490 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 1: When I went on vacation to Thailand. You don't see 491 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: homeless people all over Thailand, but what you do see, 492 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: or at least when I went, you see stray disease 493 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 1: dogs everywhere you go. Now, I am not what you 494 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: would call an animal person, but furthest thing from seeing 495 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 1: animal suffering is something that tugs at your heart strings 496 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 1: and you notice it right away. But what's funny is 497 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: living here in California, where there are homeless encampments everywhere, 498 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 1: and you see human suffering on the side of the road. 499 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: I don't even notice it anymore, but with the animals, 500 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 1: I noticed it immediately, and I wonder if that's what 501 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: happened to her.
