Things get messy out at 4 00:00:21,897 --> 00:00:26,657 Speaker 1: a turning point event at Berkeley, the supposed birthplace of 5 00:00:26,697 --> 00:00:29,897 Speaker 1: the free speech movement, where there is more speech fascism 6 00:00:29,897 --> 00:00:32,897 Speaker 1: and authoritarianism than a lot of other places you could 7 00:00:32,897 --> 00:00:35,737 Speaker 1: find across the country, that is for sure. We are 8 00:00:35,817 --> 00:00:38,897 Speaker 1: joined by Chloetrepinado. She is at town hall dot com. 9 00:00:38,937 --> 00:00:43,257 Speaker 1: It's all Politics is her handle online if you will 10 00:00:43,297 --> 00:00:45,737 Speaker 1: go check out her YouTube channel and all of her 11 00:00:45,737 --> 00:00:46,417 Speaker 1: great work there. 12 00:00:46,617 --> 00:00:48,097 Speaker 2: So let me just give you this, Chloe. 13 00:00:48,257 --> 00:00:51,977 Speaker 1: So, you had a bunch of Antifa maniacs storming this 14 00:00:52,257 --> 00:00:57,137 Speaker 1: turning point event at Berkeley, wearing cafeas always a bad 15 00:00:57,257 --> 00:01:00,937 Speaker 1: always a bad sign, and they got guys, you know, 16 00:01:00,977 --> 00:01:04,937 Speaker 1: with bloody faces and people causing a melee in the streets. 17 00:01:05,217 --> 00:01:08,657 Speaker 1: What do these lunatics think they accomplish by doing this? Like, 18 00:01:08,697 --> 00:01:12,617 Speaker 1: what's the motivation? So far as we can understand these things? 19 00:01:13,857 --> 00:01:16,457 Speaker 3: Really good question. Back, Well, they didn't just work cafeas 20 00:01:16,497 --> 00:01:19,417 Speaker 3: they also wore the furry costumes. That's my favorite when 21 00:01:19,417 --> 00:01:22,217 Speaker 3: they show up in a dinosaur costume or some sort 22 00:01:22,257 --> 00:01:25,457 Speaker 3: of unicorn mask. It really makes them look very serious. 23 00:01:25,537 --> 00:01:29,217 Speaker 3: But I think their goal is to almost defund the 24 00:01:29,297 --> 00:01:31,897 Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk movement. Like we say, like they say, defund 25 00:01:31,897 --> 00:01:34,377 Speaker 3: the police. They're now want to defund all that Charlie 26 00:01:34,417 --> 00:01:36,737 Speaker 3: Kirk and TPUSA is doing, and it's just simply not 27 00:01:36,857 --> 00:01:39,737 Speaker 3: going to work. Like I said, they are unserious people. 28 00:01:39,777 --> 00:01:43,457 Speaker 3: They are also now deemed terrorist or a terrorist organization. 29 00:01:43,497 --> 00:01:45,817 Speaker 3: They're Antifa, So I'm not sure why we're not allowed 30 00:01:45,897 --> 00:01:48,537 Speaker 3: to carry out arrests just yet, but I am very 31 00:01:48,537 --> 00:01:51,537 Speaker 3: excited for those arrests to ensue. I'm also confused as 32 00:01:51,537 --> 00:01:54,737 Speaker 3: to why US Berkeley is still receiving federal dollars. They've 33 00:01:54,777 --> 00:01:57,737 Speaker 3: received billions in taxpayer funding every year. So I'm looking 34 00:01:57,737 --> 00:02:00,897 Speaker 3: for some arrests and I'm looking for some relinquishing of 35 00:02:00,937 --> 00:02:03,497 Speaker 3: those funds because I do not believe that they should 36 00:02:03,497 --> 00:02:06,377 Speaker 3: be getting funding for calling for, well celebrating the death 37 00:02:06,417 --> 00:02:09,257 Speaker 3: of Charlie Kirk. And there were also people screaming F 38 00:02:09,417 --> 00:02:12,337 Speaker 3: your homie. I mean, what the heck if Dave Portnoy 39 00:02:12,817 --> 00:02:15,897 Speaker 3: can get people fired for them screaming f the Jews, 40 00:02:15,937 --> 00:02:19,537 Speaker 3: which is terrible somebody should be getting fired for screaming 41 00:02:19,577 --> 00:02:21,097 Speaker 3: af your homie. 42 00:02:22,217 --> 00:02:25,577 Speaker 1: I didn't even know about that. This is I'm looking 43 00:02:25,617 --> 00:02:27,897 Speaker 1: at this mess here. My friend Andy No, who has 44 00:02:28,017 --> 00:02:32,097 Speaker 1: been covering Antifa more closely than anybody now for about 45 00:02:32,097 --> 00:02:35,257 Speaker 1: a decade. He's showing that they had to do the 46 00:02:35,257 --> 00:02:40,217 Speaker 1: whole thing, the the deployment, you know, tear gas and 47 00:02:40,337 --> 00:02:44,417 Speaker 1: you know the riot police, police. 48 00:02:44,017 --> 00:02:44,817 Speaker 2: In riot gear. 49 00:02:44,897 --> 00:02:46,337 Speaker 1: Some of my cop prints said, there's no such thing 50 00:02:46,377 --> 00:02:49,337 Speaker 1: as riot police, but cops in riot gear, anti riot gear. 51 00:02:50,257 --> 00:02:52,857 Speaker 2: You know they're doing this. And I got two things 52 00:02:52,857 --> 00:02:53,057 Speaker 2: of this. 53 00:02:53,097 --> 00:02:56,617 Speaker 1: One is this always means that there will be more 54 00:02:56,777 --> 00:02:59,937 Speaker 1: coverage of the event than there would otherwise be. So 55 00:03:00,017 --> 00:03:04,257 Speaker 1: to me aside from the law breaking, insanity and viciousness 56 00:03:04,297 --> 00:03:08,857 Speaker 1: of these anti Flamniacs, it's like this means that everybody 57 00:03:08,897 --> 00:03:11,297 Speaker 1: in the country gets to see them like jackasses. And 58 00:03:11,337 --> 00:03:13,817 Speaker 1: they also go, oh, Turning Points have another free speech event, 59 00:03:13,817 --> 00:03:15,257 Speaker 1: Maybe I should go to the next one. 60 00:03:15,937 --> 00:03:18,737 Speaker 3: It does it highlights everything the Turning Point USA is doing, 61 00:03:19,297 --> 00:03:21,417 Speaker 3: and so they not only bring the cameras and all 62 00:03:21,457 --> 00:03:23,937 Speaker 3: the attention, but it just creates more ire for the 63 00:03:23,937 --> 00:03:26,217 Speaker 3: conservative movement, and I think it gives them even more 64 00:03:26,257 --> 00:03:28,217 Speaker 3: reason to go to these events. I for one, would 65 00:03:28,257 --> 00:03:31,617 Speaker 3: love to attend a TPUSA event whenever it comes into town, 66 00:03:31,817 --> 00:03:34,737 Speaker 3: whenever they come back to DC. But yeah, I think 67 00:03:34,737 --> 00:03:37,017 Speaker 3: you're completely right. I think there's no reason for them 68 00:03:37,057 --> 00:03:39,217 Speaker 3: to be doing this other than they have nothing better 69 00:03:39,297 --> 00:03:42,377 Speaker 3: to do on any of these evenings, whether it's a 70 00:03:42,457 --> 00:03:46,137 Speaker 3: Monday or a Friday night. These ANTIFA people are apparently free. 71 00:03:46,417 --> 00:03:49,177 Speaker 3: It's their form of partying in college. No longer are 72 00:03:49,497 --> 00:03:52,577 Speaker 3: people going out to bars into frats at these ivy leagues. 73 00:03:52,617 --> 00:03:56,177 Speaker 3: They're simply attending riots, and it's quite hilarious, you know. 74 00:03:56,337 --> 00:03:58,657 Speaker 1: The The other thing, though, is that there is no 75 00:03:59,177 --> 00:04:06,497 Speaker 1: equivalent of like left wing campus organizations or get togethers 76 00:04:06,537 --> 00:04:11,097 Speaker 1: or anything where a bunch of conservative show up and 77 00:04:11,137 --> 00:04:14,257 Speaker 1: have to be tear gas because they're trying to you know, 78 00:04:14,297 --> 00:04:17,617 Speaker 1: storm the barricades and tackle cops and throw things at 79 00:04:17,657 --> 00:04:20,137 Speaker 1: people that are otherwise engaged. 80 00:04:19,737 --> 00:04:20,777 Speaker 2: In lawful behavior. 81 00:04:21,057 --> 00:04:24,377 Speaker 1: You know, we brushed this aside as the anti femaniacs, 82 00:04:24,417 --> 00:04:29,417 Speaker 1: but they really are the street thugs of the DNC. 83 00:04:29,497 --> 00:04:32,617 Speaker 1: I mean, these are left wing people that support much 84 00:04:32,657 --> 00:04:35,297 Speaker 1: of the Democrat program. 85 00:04:35,457 --> 00:04:38,417 Speaker 3: Yeah, they are so violent. Somebody I think it was 86 00:04:38,617 --> 00:04:42,017 Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk's producer Andrew He posted a video on X 87 00:04:42,777 --> 00:04:46,497 Speaker 3: of the discrepancies between or the disparities excuse me, between 88 00:04:46,577 --> 00:04:49,537 Speaker 3: these two events. You had inside of the event people 89 00:04:50,097 --> 00:04:52,857 Speaker 3: they were applauding, they were cheering, they were praying, they 90 00:04:52,857 --> 00:04:58,217 Speaker 3: were peacefully attending such a wholesome Christian conservative event where 91 00:04:58,257 --> 00:05:00,617 Speaker 3: there was just so much joy. And then right outside 92 00:05:00,617 --> 00:05:05,457 Speaker 3: of those walls, where people filled with antidepressants rage higher 93 00:05:05,977 --> 00:05:08,417 Speaker 3: to all of the people inside and outside of the walls, 94 00:05:08,657 --> 00:05:12,497 Speaker 3: there was violence. There were things being thrown, like you said, 95 00:05:12,577 --> 00:05:16,337 Speaker 3: tear gas, arrests were being made. It's just like the 96 00:05:16,377 --> 00:05:19,337 Speaker 3: conservative movement. That's kind of like reflective of the entire 97 00:05:19,377 --> 00:05:22,897 Speaker 3: movement as a whole. Inside of the conservative movement, it's calm, 98 00:05:22,897 --> 00:05:26,377 Speaker 3: it's peaceful, it's like a little utopia. But the outside 99 00:05:26,457 --> 00:05:29,217 Speaker 3: people are constantly trying to break in, and it's just 100 00:05:29,257 --> 00:05:31,737 Speaker 3: total madness in haywire. So I think we have to 101 00:05:31,737 --> 00:05:33,777 Speaker 3: try as hard as we may to keep our little 102 00:05:33,897 --> 00:05:37,297 Speaker 3: utopia and keep safe in here. We gotta be careful. 103 00:05:37,897 --> 00:05:41,657 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I you know, we're keeping civilization together. You know, 104 00:05:41,817 --> 00:05:45,217 Speaker 1: no big deal deal, it's us or the maniacs. I 105 00:05:45,257 --> 00:05:47,297 Speaker 1: also think It's always worth noting that people that think 106 00:05:47,297 --> 00:05:50,817 Speaker 1: they're fighting fascism are the ones all dressed in black 107 00:05:50,897 --> 00:05:53,937 Speaker 1: forming a mob using violence to shut down speech. It's like, 108 00:05:54,577 --> 00:05:57,617 Speaker 1: I think you guys and Antifa have this backwards. But 109 00:05:57,817 --> 00:06:00,457 Speaker 1: that's a whole other part of the conversation. Our sponsor 110 00:06:00,457 --> 00:06:04,457 Speaker 1: here is Preborn. Preborn is an incredible nonprofit because amazing 111 00:06:04,497 --> 00:06:09,137 Speaker 1: work saving lots of unborn children.

You're a DC person. I used to live there. 132 00:07:07,817 --> 00:07:10,137 Speaker 1: One thing that I find I find a little curre. 133 00:07:10,937 --> 00:07:14,577 Speaker 1: Trump had this whole I'm gonna make DC safer. And 134 00:07:14,657 --> 00:07:17,697 Speaker 1: I've looked up the stats, and I think murders since 135 00:07:17,737 --> 00:07:21,457 Speaker 1: this Trump effort went into play went to effect or 136 00:07:21,537 --> 00:07:24,897 Speaker 1: down sixty percent something like that year over year, and 137 00:07:24,977 --> 00:07:26,057 Speaker 1: yet we're not hearing about that. 138 00:07:26,097 --> 00:07:27,577 Speaker 2: Where's the national media on this? 139 00:07:28,737 --> 00:07:31,337 Speaker 1: What do you know about the efforts to make DC 140 00:07:31,617 --> 00:07:33,257 Speaker 1: safer or make DC great again? 141 00:07:33,297 --> 00:07:34,617 Speaker 2: As Trump has been saying. 142 00:07:35,337 --> 00:07:37,297 Speaker 3: Well, I can tell you as somebody who lives here, 143 00:07:37,337 --> 00:07:39,697 Speaker 3: and I walk the streets in the dark. I try 144 00:07:39,737 --> 00:07:41,977 Speaker 3: not to, but sometimes you have to. I have felt 145 00:07:42,017 --> 00:07:46,057 Speaker 3: immensely more safe. The National Guard has done an excellent 146 00:07:46,137 --> 00:07:48,177 Speaker 3: job at keeping the peace in this city. And of 147 00:07:48,217 --> 00:07:49,817 Speaker 3: course the national media is not going to talk about it. 148 00:07:49,857 --> 00:07:53,817 Speaker 3: Democrats hate to highlight any good that Republicans are doing. However, 149 00:07:53,857 --> 00:07:56,537 Speaker 3: it is true you do not hear sirens anymore. I 150 00:07:56,537 --> 00:07:59,537 Speaker 3: think the first night, I remember the helicopter is going above, 151 00:07:59,777 --> 00:08:03,017 Speaker 3: and you heard the police cars and the sirens. For 152 00:08:03,177 --> 00:08:06,817 Speaker 3: three days. You heard that for hours starting at ten o'clock. 153 00:08:07,137 --> 00:08:10,137 Speaker 3: Now you don't hear much of it at all. The 154 00:08:10,137 --> 00:08:12,777 Speaker 3: the National Guard is everywhere. I see people thanking them 155 00:08:12,817 --> 00:08:15,297 Speaker 3: on the streets as they're walking by. The other day, 156 00:08:15,297 --> 00:08:18,897 Speaker 3: I saw the National Guard handing out food to homeless people. 157 00:08:19,577 --> 00:08:22,337 Speaker 3: They're very, very peaceful men. They're doing an excellent job. 158 00:08:22,377 --> 00:08:25,537 Speaker 3: They're sacrificing a lot of their time to be here, 159 00:08:25,737 --> 00:08:28,697 Speaker 3: and I think you're starting to see residents finally be 160 00:08:29,017 --> 00:08:32,457 Speaker 3: very appreciative of that. No longer are they yelling slurs 161 00:08:32,497 --> 00:08:35,897 Speaker 3: at them or being mean or cruel. They're appreciative because 162 00:08:35,937 --> 00:08:38,297 Speaker 3: they see the difference that they are making in all 163 00:08:38,337 --> 00:08:41,457 Speaker 3: of our lives. Truly, the city has transformed thanks to 164 00:08:41,497 --> 00:08:44,417 Speaker 3: President Trump and the National Guard's help. However, I will 165 00:08:44,457 --> 00:08:47,377 Speaker 3: say there are still a lot of homeless people, still 166 00:08:47,417 --> 00:08:50,537 Speaker 3: a lot of encampments. The only thing that is left 167 00:08:50,537 --> 00:08:53,017 Speaker 3: to do is clean that up a little bit. I 168 00:08:53,017 --> 00:08:55,977 Speaker 3: don't know if I have a complete solution for those 169 00:08:56,017 --> 00:08:56,457 Speaker 3: those people. 170 00:08:56,457 --> 00:08:58,257 Speaker 2: I think it's going to be the city, right. 171 00:08:58,297 --> 00:09:02,897 Speaker 1: The National Guard can provide just because by having armed 172 00:09:03,097 --> 00:09:06,017 Speaker 1: men and women of the state in uniform, it's less 173 00:09:06,057 --> 00:09:08,137 Speaker 1: likely someone's going to roll up and carjack you, right. 174 00:09:08,177 --> 00:09:09,857 Speaker 1: I mean, I think we can all, but they're not 175 00:09:09,897 --> 00:09:13,057 Speaker 1: really there to clean up the homeless encampments. That's going 176 00:09:13,097 --> 00:09:17,377 Speaker 1: to be Mayor Bowser and the You know, it's such 177 00:09:17,377 --> 00:09:20,617 Speaker 1: a challenge because people think, oh, if only we had 178 00:09:20,617 --> 00:09:24,537 Speaker 1: more resources. I've spoken to people who have worked very 179 00:09:24,537 --> 00:09:27,177 Speaker 1: closely with the homeless in these major cities, and first 180 00:09:27,217 --> 00:09:30,337 Speaker 1: of all, you're talking about something like ninety to ninety 181 00:09:30,377 --> 00:09:33,777 Speaker 1: five percent of the people who are in these encampments 182 00:09:33,857 --> 00:09:38,457 Speaker 1: are drug addicted, and often these two things can go together, 183 00:09:38,577 --> 00:09:41,417 Speaker 1: not always very mentally ill and have like real mental 184 00:09:41,457 --> 00:09:44,137 Speaker 1: health problems. And I say that meaning these are people 185 00:09:44,137 --> 00:09:49,097 Speaker 1: that really need help, and yet the system has moved 186 00:09:49,137 --> 00:09:52,177 Speaker 1: away from You can't live on the street. You have 187 00:09:52,257 --> 00:09:54,817 Speaker 1: to get help to keep living on the street. It's 188 00:09:54,937 --> 00:09:58,497 Speaker 1: your choice. I think a lot of people think that's 189 00:09:58,577 --> 00:10:02,057 Speaker 1: the more humanitarian thing to do, But if somebody is 190 00:10:02,057 --> 00:10:04,537 Speaker 1: severely drug addicted and mentally ill, it's really not. Actually 191 00:10:04,617 --> 00:10:08,097 Speaker 1: it's it's actually we're abdicating a responsibility by allowing that 192 00:10:08,177 --> 00:10:08,817 Speaker 1: to continue. 193 00:10:10,137 --> 00:10:12,137 Speaker 3: It's really not good for them whatsoever. I can tell 194 00:10:12,177 --> 00:10:15,537 Speaker 3: you walking past them sleeping in the freezing cold right 195 00:10:15,577 --> 00:10:18,657 Speaker 3: outside of my home with their twelve blankets and their 196 00:10:18,697 --> 00:10:22,057 Speaker 3: little lovey doll. They have stuffed animals that they PLoP 197 00:10:22,097 --> 00:10:25,297 Speaker 3: a top of their stacks of bed sheets every morning 198 00:10:25,497 --> 00:10:28,897 Speaker 3: when they go on their morning walks. It's not humanitarian 199 00:10:28,937 --> 00:10:32,257 Speaker 3: to let them continue to do that. I completely agree 200 00:10:32,257 --> 00:10:35,097 Speaker 3: with you. Yeah, I think they're thinking is flawed. There. 201 00:10:35,617 --> 00:10:37,017 Speaker 1: I want to ask you about Chuck Schumer in the 202 00:10:37,057 --> 00:10:38,657 Speaker 1: end of the shutdown here in just a second.

Was this a big loss 220 00:11:29,617 --> 00:11:30,137 Speaker 2: for Schumer? 221 00:11:30,897 --> 00:11:34,537 Speaker 1: Is Schumer's political future in extreme doubt among Democrats? 222 00:11:34,537 --> 00:11:36,217 Speaker 2: How do you assess all this? 223 00:11:37,257 --> 00:11:41,017 Speaker 3: Absolutely? I think every single Democrat and their caucus knows 224 00:11:41,017 --> 00:11:42,897 Speaker 3: that Chuck Schummer is on his way out. He might 225 00:11:42,897 --> 00:11:45,177 Speaker 3: as well just go join Joe Biden at the beach, 226 00:11:45,377 --> 00:11:48,057 Speaker 3: grab a cone, lock some ice cream, and spend the 227 00:11:48,057 --> 00:11:50,937 Speaker 3: rest of his days in a bikini because his time 228 00:11:51,017 --> 00:11:53,417 Speaker 3: is over. The poor guy, I mean, even the Wall 229 00:11:53,417 --> 00:11:56,577 Speaker 3: Street Journal op ed said you have to feel bad 230 00:11:56,617 --> 00:11:58,457 Speaker 3: for him. He was put between a rock and a 231 00:11:58,497 --> 00:12:00,897 Speaker 3: hard place. Obviously, I don't feel that for him. However, 232 00:12:01,177 --> 00:12:04,377 Speaker 3: you feel just a little bit of sympathy because he 233 00:12:04,577 --> 00:12:08,577 Speaker 3: had no choice. He either opened back the government up 234 00:12:08,897 --> 00:12:11,857 Speaker 3: and enraged millions of Democrats who would have rather kept 235 00:12:11,897 --> 00:12:14,577 Speaker 3: it closed, or he kept it closed and enraged the 236 00:12:14,737 --> 00:12:18,097 Speaker 3: entire rest of the country. He didn't really have much 237 00:12:18,097 --> 00:12:21,937 Speaker 3: of a good option there. His Democrats and his fellow 238 00:12:21,937 --> 00:12:25,217 Speaker 3: colleagues put him in a really tough position. So I 239 00:12:25,257 --> 00:12:28,657 Speaker 3: think he did the right thing obviously, opening up the government. 240 00:12:29,417 --> 00:12:32,737 Speaker 3: Forty two million Americans were going without SNAP. A lot 241 00:12:32,817 --> 00:12:35,497 Speaker 3: eight million of those just about we're veterans. Obviously, it's 242 00:12:35,577 --> 00:12:37,537 Speaker 3: Veterans Day. We thank our veterans. We want them to 243 00:12:37,537 --> 00:12:39,977 Speaker 3: get their benefits. They might be one of the only 244 00:12:40,017 --> 00:12:43,737 Speaker 3: groups in that SNAP category that truly received those or 245 00:12:44,017 --> 00:12:46,737 Speaker 3: deserve those benefits. So I'm glad that they could get 246 00:12:46,977 --> 00:12:49,297 Speaker 3: their care, and I'm glad the airports could get opened 247 00:12:49,297 --> 00:12:51,377 Speaker 3: back up so people can travel for the holiday season. 248 00:12:51,417 --> 00:12:54,777 Speaker 3: I'm glad that families weren't missing a third paycheck. Of course, 249 00:12:54,817 --> 00:12:56,817 Speaker 3: the Democrats had to open it up, but Chuck Schumer 250 00:12:57,137 --> 00:12:58,417 Speaker 3: is going to get a lot of the blame, and 251 00:12:58,777 --> 00:12:59,337 Speaker 3: as he should. 252 00:13:00,417 --> 00:13:03,097 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer, I guess he didn't really have much of 253 00:13:03,137 --> 00:13:07,737 Speaker 1: a much of an option here. The Bernie AOC wing 254 00:13:07,817 --> 00:13:11,537 Speaker 1: of the party, there's this sense that they ascendant and 255 00:13:11,577 --> 00:13:13,777 Speaker 1: going into the midterm election year, we'll be hearing a 256 00:13:13,777 --> 00:13:16,257 Speaker 1: lot more of them. Do you think that that's where 257 00:13:16,497 --> 00:13:19,857 Speaker 1: What are your DC folks, what are the Beltway insiders 258 00:13:19,857 --> 00:13:22,537 Speaker 1: saying about this? Is that really the belief for our 259 00:13:22,577 --> 00:13:25,457 Speaker 1: Democrats going to play the old We'll bring down prices 260 00:13:25,497 --> 00:13:29,657 Speaker 1: and focus on healthcare, act like they are in tune 261 00:13:29,657 --> 00:13:32,097 Speaker 1: with real concerns for Americans, even if they're not, Like, 262 00:13:32,137 --> 00:13:33,977 Speaker 1: how do you see that playing out? 263 00:13:34,977 --> 00:13:37,457 Speaker 3: This is actually going to be the most interesting thing 264 00:13:37,497 --> 00:13:40,857 Speaker 3: for me to watch play out, I think in my lifetime, 265 00:13:41,057 --> 00:13:43,417 Speaker 3: because all of this is kind of culminating together at 266 00:13:43,457 --> 00:13:45,617 Speaker 3: just the right moment. I'm reading a book from Denise 267 00:13:45,657 --> 00:13:48,657 Speaker 3: Jesusa about the United States of Socialism. I'm learning all 268 00:13:48,657 --> 00:13:51,777 Speaker 3: about socialism at the same time, Mom, Donnie just ascended 269 00:13:51,817 --> 00:13:53,737 Speaker 3: to be the mayor of New York City. You got 270 00:13:53,777 --> 00:13:55,817 Speaker 3: AOC who's going to run for the presidency in twenty 271 00:13:55,857 --> 00:13:58,657 Speaker 3: twenty eight, Bernie Sanders, who for some reason has not retired. 272 00:13:58,977 --> 00:14:01,577 Speaker 3: He might literally die at his desk in Congress. I 273 00:14:01,577 --> 00:14:04,457 Speaker 3: hope not, but you never know. And he obviously is 274 00:14:04,457 --> 00:14:09,297 Speaker 3: a complete and utter socialist. So now the question is where, 275 00:14:09,297 --> 00:14:12,657 Speaker 3: at an inflection point, is America going to turn towards 276 00:14:12,657 --> 00:14:16,937 Speaker 3: socialism completely in these next elections, in the midterm and 277 00:14:17,017 --> 00:14:20,137 Speaker 3: during the presidency and if we do, all of the 278 00:14:20,177 --> 00:14:22,737 Speaker 3: warning signs will just have been thrown out the window. 279 00:14:23,297 --> 00:14:26,897 Speaker 3: And this has started since Fdr Lyndon B. Johnson. These 280 00:14:26,937 --> 00:14:31,337 Speaker 3: guys were enacting progressive policies or excuse me, socialist policies 281 00:14:31,337 --> 00:14:34,017 Speaker 3: in their progressive policies little by little, and now here 282 00:14:34,017 --> 00:14:36,577 Speaker 3: we are in twenty twenty five, and we very well 283 00:14:36,617 --> 00:14:41,417 Speaker 3: could have a socialist, a communist running for the presidency 284 00:14:41,697 --> 00:14:46,817 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty eight in AOC. And you know the 285 00:14:47,017 --> 00:14:50,417 Speaker 3: reason for this is because of the young people. I 286 00:14:50,537 --> 00:14:55,297 Speaker 3: think that over half of gen Z views socialism favorably. 287 00:14:55,817 --> 00:14:58,697 Speaker 3: They didn't live through difficult times whatsoever, and now here 288 00:14:58,737 --> 00:15:01,297 Speaker 3: they are, they're very entitled. Most of their lives have 289 00:15:01,417 --> 00:15:03,937 Speaker 3: just been handed to them, so they don't know the 290 00:15:03,977 --> 00:15:07,977 Speaker 3: difficulties that come with socialism. All they know is what 291 00:15:08,017 --> 00:15:12,257 Speaker 3: they've experienced through capitalism and where that's gotten them. So 292 00:15:12,297 --> 00:15:14,057 Speaker 3: it's going to be very interesting. That was a long 293 00:15:14,057 --> 00:15:17,817 Speaker 3: winded answer, but I think everybody, especially the young people 294 00:15:17,897 --> 00:15:21,377 Speaker 3: who are watching this, the gen Zers, should go back 295 00:15:21,697 --> 00:15:26,577 Speaker 3: read George Orwell's books, Read nineteen eighty four, read Animal Farm, 296 00:15:26,697 --> 00:15:29,417 Speaker 3: and then read Denise Jesus's book The United States socialism. 297 00:15:29,457 --> 00:15:32,257 Speaker 3: It is so interesting because these young people just do 298 00:15:32,297 --> 00:15:34,337 Speaker 3: not know what is about to slap them in the face. 299 00:15:35,617 --> 00:15:39,057 Speaker 1: Alrighty, everyone should check out what Chloe Trapinado's up to 300 00:15:39,137 --> 00:15:42,097 Speaker 1: over a town hall and it's all politics on a YouTube. 301 00:15:42,137 --> 00:15:43,657 Speaker 1: And Chloe appreciate you making the time. 302 00:15:43,697 --> 00:15:45,897 Speaker 3: Thanks so much, Thanks for letting me ramble back.
