Based Camp - They Admit It： The New Goal is to Destroy America

00:00:00.000 Hello, Malcolm. I'm very glad to be speaking with you today because the elections in the United States are right around the corner. Everyone's got their campaign signs out. And AOC, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is currently, I mean, while she's, you know, a politician now, she's the frontrunner for the next big election in the United States, the presidential election, which is in 2028.

00:00:22.400 And she is ahead of everyone else. John Ossoff, Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris, Josh Shapiro. I mean, she clearly is is the one to be looking at. And she's also a very prominent member of the Democratic Socialists of America, the DSA.

00:00:38.440 Also, it's really clear that a lot of the early, like we'll say sort of pre-election activities, basically the primary elections in the United States have been a big win for DSA and DSA endorsed candidates.

00:00:52.460 They'd have a very strong year of primary wins for very safe Democratic seats, which positions a lot of congressional and Senate offices and even just local offices for more of a DSA-skewed leadership if they're in already Democratic-controlled areas.

00:01:09.220 So you haven't gotten to the point.

00:01:10.060 The reason why this matters is they want to abolish the United States government as we understand it.

00:01:14.640 Yeah. Well, no, I didn't know how seriously extreme they were as a group until I just went

00:01:21.700 to their website and read their platform. And per their official program, they want to nationalize

00:01:26.740 the largest corporations. They want non-citizens to have access to government-funded gender 0.88

00:01:31.560 affirming care. They want all student debt canceled. And voting. And they want race-based

00:01:35.900 reparations, basically limitless immigration as a path to citizenship for all, no matter how

00:01:42.140 someone entered the country you're in they want no more electoral college and they want no more

00:01:47.120 president or supreme court instead they want a congress-run executive and judiciary chosen by

00:01:53.320 and subordinate to congress and no more senate so no more president no more supreme court no more

00:01:59.040 senate and if you understand how cooked that form of government would be look at the places like the

00:02:04.820 eu right or the un these types of organizations that they are attempting to put into place are 0.98

00:02:09.900 very easy for left-wingers to control because they move it down to middle management dumb butts 0.94

00:02:16.020 yeah it's just a giant committee i'm running yeah you want if you want your government to 0.94

00:02:21.260 turn into a group project support the dsa as if it's not bad enough as it is uh maybe we should

00:02:28.480 just support them so how how many people like the job that congress does approval right now

00:02:36.400 Right. Can we make it even worse? Well, I think actually, isn't congressional approval better at least than presidential approval? But it's just that the president's always a lightning rod for disapproval and butt hurt. But it is really interesting. So we really should know.

00:02:53.080 No, so congressional approval right now

00:02:57.560 is at roughly 10%.

00:02:59.240 It's even worse than the,

00:03:02.520 I didn't think that was possible.

00:03:04.920 Oh my gosh.

00:03:06.840 Trump's is at 34%.

00:03:08.560 It's nowhere close.

00:03:10.340 Trump's is literally three X higher than Congress.

00:03:13.440 Well, I mean, that's so funny

00:03:14.460 because in the headlines,

00:03:15.180 it's always like,

00:03:16.520 can you believe presidents set new record lows

00:03:19.640 for this particular day in their presidency?

00:03:21.980 they always like choose very skewed ways of making it seem like it's it's very low literally

00:03:26.040 no one approves of the congress yeah but like let's make it in completely in charge and abolish

00:03:32.200 the supreme court and the executive oh my gosh this is so bad whereas like literally when the

00:03:38.280 united states was first formed they were just like washington can you just be king like we look we

00:03:45.740 this we have a placeholder but can you just we don't need it we know it's gonna mess up

00:03:51.420 he should have just said yes he should have for people who don't know the lore um so while

00:03:57.580 washington didn't have any kids uh his siblings did and simone is descended from two lines i'm

00:04:03.560 not trying to position myself for the line i'm just saying american you you would be in the

00:04:09.180 american royal family um and running running the country with your your golden scepter or whatever

00:04:15.840 what would it be um honestly a country where you were uh uh empress would i think i think be really

00:04:24.540 good i think you'd golden carbider uh i'm trying to think of what a proper american scepter would

00:04:30.820 be a giant um some kind of barbecuing you know thing like a giant barbecue spatula would be the

00:04:40.240 american scepter i don't know i'm gonna workshop it but anyway yeah we should know because this is

00:04:45.340 not what's happening we're not headed towards a monarchy we're headed toward a dsa run america

00:04:50.320 because they're slowly but steadily taking over the democratic party and they're just going to

00:04:54.880 keep on going and so we should understand what they are and what they stand for and well and i

00:05:00.280 think understand that this ideology that they fight for and it's it's been very interesting

00:05:06.100 to me because we had this hypothesis where we're like okay where are the democrats going where is

00:05:12.080 the left going because they sort of lost Gaza as an issue because Trump ended that war and it made

00:05:17.620 them look bad to still act like that was an issue. They lost environmentalism because everybody

00:05:22.720 stopped caring about environmentalism like 20 years ago. Like even Granite Thornburg won't

00:05:27.800 talk about it anymore. It's like the environment, whatever, I don't care. They lost Hispanic rights

00:05:34.320 because, well, the Hispanics voted for Trump and then they got really racist real fast.

00:05:40.140 i mean why is that why is the democratic share of the of the latino vote shrinking

00:05:47.120 and what i said to you when we asked the question was latinos want to be white they want to be

00:05:54.620 with the cool kids um they're the whole i hate nazis thing hasn't been so hot since they decided 0.94

00:06:01.560 they hated jewish people um so it's sort of like okay well where where where did the leftists go

00:06:07.640 at this point right and they're going to the dsa they're going to look you know i think the dsa

00:06:12.620 shows it's not its core goal like if you look at its core goals they're not actually tied to

00:06:19.940 socialism or workers rights or nationalized health care they're they're tangentially but

00:06:26.020 the real goal where the organization puts its real like shots out there is the destruction of

00:06:32.200 the u.s government yeah that does seem pretty central not just that but also in terms of how

00:06:37.320 they they aim to change citizenship and voter composition indicates that they really do want

00:06:42.300 they want it to burn yeah and i this makes fighting the left i think even more existential

00:06:47.700 than it's been historically and it makes the people who would collaborate with leftists like

00:06:52.320 nick fuentes even more of a danger um because like when the stakes are i want to end your ability to

00:06:58.780 ever have power again it the situation is just absolutely existential yeah absolutely so let's

00:07:05.400 learn a little bit more about them because they started pretty obscurely. So the DSA was founded

00:07:10.260 in 1982 when two leftist orgs came together. And it's made up of two parts. It has a national

00:07:15.760 convention, which is its highest decision-making body that meets every two years. And then it has

00:07:19.860 local chapters. They're super autonomous. And this matters because sometimes there are candidates who

00:07:24.700 are endorsed by a local chapter, but not the national one. And so they're like, well, they're

00:07:29.420 not technically DSA endorsed, but they totally are. Like they're dues-paying members of the

00:07:34.280 local chapters. And this, for example, is the case for AOC, our top likely to be nominated for

00:07:39.360 a Democratic president candidate AOC, because she is not endorsed by the national DSA chapter,

00:07:48.240 but she is a paying member and endorsed by the local New York chapter she's a member of.

00:07:53.880 And that is the biggest chapter. So like to be I think they're trying to basically make

00:07:58.540 plausible deniability like, oh, no, no, no, no. She's not a DSA candidate. 0.63

00:08:02.140 She couldn't be more involved than she tried.

00:08:04.620 Yes, exactly.

00:08:05.660 Just to make that clear.

00:08:06.800 So it's important to understand how this organization works.

00:08:10.020 And no, there's only 100,000 members in this organization.

00:08:13.280 So for her to be a member is like a very big deal.

00:08:16.740 It's small but growing.

00:08:18.660 And Zorhan.

00:08:19.780 Zorhan Mamdani being another very prominent and beloved member who gets tons of social media attention.

00:08:25.120 In fact, the latest heat that he's been getting, aside from not firing someone in relation to an ICE shooting,

00:08:30.680 is that he has not been legislating enough as mayor.

00:08:34.760 Instead, he's being accused by his critics

00:08:37.040 of posting too much to TikTok,

00:08:39.040 which to be fair is, I think,

00:08:41.220 a really effective thing to do

00:08:42.560 when you're trying to help in general

00:08:44.300 your party or subgroup win the midterms.

00:08:47.880 But anyway, the national portion of the DSA

00:08:51.680 is where all of the dues go.

00:08:54.120 So AOC's payments as a member to the New York chapter

00:08:57.980 do ultimately feed up to the national, um, organization. It's made up of the national

00:09:03.400 political committee, the NPC, just perfect. Uh, yes. Oh my God. Yes. And it serves as that's the

00:09:12.040 collective leadership and its board of directors. And then it has a steering committee, uh, which

00:09:16.860 every time I hear steering committee, I just think like the most tedious people in your high school

00:09:22.660 social set or in like a homeowners association steering committee does not does not tell me

00:09:29.260 something productive is happening but anyway that is what makes interim decisions like in between

00:09:33.540 these two-year meetings they oversee the staff they oversee the finances and charters and they

00:09:38.120 revoke chapters and commissions if they're being too naughty and they also implement all the

00:09:44.040 convention priorities the npc and the national staff provide resources and also field organizers

00:09:49.960 There's training, shared tools like phone and text banking and compliance help, and then national, just national priorities to the local chapters.

00:09:58.080 So they're very connected. The local chapters are in turn required to affirm the national body's principles and their basic democratic norms.

00:10:05.580 They send delegates to the convention proportional to their memberships.

00:10:09.440 So, for example, the New York branch or chapter that AOC is a member of sends a lot of delegates and is very influential in the national chapter because it's the biggest one.

00:10:17.780 and then at the convention they'll set the strategy and priorities they'll like leadership

00:10:21.500 and adopt resolutions and platforms which is what we're going to go over today is the platform that

00:10:25.900 they most recently adopted what chapters do i don't know just some side things that they do

00:10:31.540 to understand how like disruptive this organization is do you do you know the practice of salting

00:10:37.280 uh presumably that has to do with ruining something like salting the earth what is it

00:10:42.560 Actually, yes, it does.

00:10:43.700 So what they do is it's the process of applying to organizations

00:10:48.240 with the intention of starting unions within the organization

00:10:50.760 and building your mindset within the organization.

00:10:56.680 And so the DSA does this pretty aggressively.

00:11:00.400 Like they train people how to do it.

00:11:01.620 And there's in the, God, what is it?

00:11:04.140 The National, a case of somebody who did this for Amazon centers.

00:11:09.780 literally just going in as basically an employee of the dsa attempting to disrupt and note here

00:11:19.000 amazon makes my life demonstrably better there are few companies that have had such a positive

00:11:26.000 impact on my daily life as amazon and this is made extremely clear to me whenever i'm outside

00:11:31.820 america and i can't use amazon americans do not understand the magic of being able to

00:11:37.740 manifest anything you want at a decent price some it's for parents it's a game change it's one of

00:11:45.620 the most pronatal stores out there because you can't even you cannot always make it out um to

00:11:51.340 a store with with a lot especially with a lot of kids it is it is too much of a journey it is is

00:11:57.000 oh it's a total game you know what i'm actually kind of surprised that amelon hasn't attempted

00:12:01.620 to get into the grocery game they are they bought whole foods oh they own whole foods

00:12:07.600 Malcolm where have you been for why don't they have grocery deliveries because they do have

00:12:12.400 grocery delivery through Whole Foods I think it's because look guys Malcolm has he like me is very

00:12:18.180 frugal so often when he wants to buy something he asks me to actually like hit the purchase button

00:12:24.160 because it's just too painful for him to like make the irresponsible choice this is true and so he

00:12:29.340 doesn't see the encouragement from Amazon to add a Whole Foods add-in to a delivery every single

00:12:35.500 time you attempt to check out because malcolm doesn't check out which is i think kind of sweet

00:12:40.240 because i'm afraid of whole whole foods i would not go into i know a whole food who's gonna yeah

00:12:45.680 that no pronatalist families are not buying from whole foods because pronatalist families cannot

00:12:49.860 afford whole foods you just can't anyway yes that is um it is funny yeah and people complaining

00:12:57.200 about how dystopian amazon is and they're tracking your emotions and telling you to go

00:13:00.940 clean the bathrooms and like another fun thing you don't have to work there in the dsa recently

00:13:05.780 i don't know if you read about this no what is they're recently having a schism around ai

00:13:11.360 of course they are of course they are now they can all agree with an 86 vote that

00:13:17.520 of course their organization can't make any art with ai and can't do anything productive with ai

00:13:22.620 of course of course right we gotta make sure that all of our leftist organizations are

00:13:28.040 intentionally terrible and boring oh you can you can tell by wait i have to i have to screen share

00:13:33.140 the page that shows the um their their platform because you're you're totally gonna see um exactly

00:13:40.580 the kind of you know how um there's this theory going around that things are intentionally ugly

00:13:47.520 to i don't know imagine people oh my god and you can see it has that like famously like ugly drawing

00:13:53.160 like but of course it's all very hand-drawn it looks like they were woodblock prints maybe

00:13:57.480 um some of these and then if you go to the very bottom you can see there uh so they have lots of

00:14:02.040 drawings but it's like this is very much that kind of like oh my god that's intentionally

00:14:06.080 yeah of like let's just yeah make it super ugly i do not know why but this this definitely is part

00:14:17.040 of that like um anti-ai thing um of like so anyway yeah but the fight is actually over

00:14:23.500 may surprise you, but their orgs have been infected with AI doomerists, who think AI is

00:14:30.860 going to kill everyone. And there's other people in their orgs that are saying, here's an example.

00:14:38.220 And I think it's AI alarmism and AI hype are both the same story. Both keep your attention

00:14:44.700 on a science fiction future to distract you from real harms experience in the present.

00:14:49.980 and they they know that what these people are functionally doing is helping the stock price

00:14:54.860 of ai companies and that these fears are being spread by many people affiliated with ai companies

00:14:59.760 yeah like literally working at anthropics yeah and they're like these companies aren't profitable

00:15:04.940 they they think that they wouldn't have it doesn't matter if they're profitable or not even

00:15:07.980 these companies like i'm using ai every day constantly people who use our fab are using

00:15:15.340 ai every day constantly by the way if you ever have any problems with our fab feel free to email

00:15:18.620 me or use the suggestion feature we work really hard to fix all that stuff um it's so funny like

00:15:24.620 i i'll regularly run into to issues when i'm working on it was ai and i realized somebody

00:15:28.960 did something like really crazy like today somebody was doing a brainstormer for a companion

00:15:34.900 and it ended up costing like 27 and i was like how did it cost 27 i asked the ai and they're like oh

00:15:42.240 they just put in a giant context window and it's like do you want me to stop people from doing that

00:15:46.780 in the future and i'm like no somebody wants to do that they can do that that's insane but it was

00:15:50.960 like a storybook their choice maybe it was like i can't see what anyone's doing like we make it so

00:15:55.960 that like even if the site leaked we wouldn't have any big issues specifically i regularly ran checks

00:16:01.440 on the back end to make sure nothing's being recorded about what users are doing so even if

00:16:07.660 somebody hacked into our aws account nobody could tell what's happening on the website outside of

00:16:13.080 what i need for diagnostics to fix things so it records like conceptually what's happening but

00:16:20.460 not the actual messages or context or anything like that with the one caveat on except for very

00:16:27.460 very new features where i need to do more detailed bug checking like right now i think we still have

00:16:34.160 context in the back end on comics but we're we're working on that feature like really really actively

00:16:41.640 and what the automatic comic creator is stable that's going to disappear as well um my guess is

00:16:50.220 it was somebody who has probably had a um a character that was from um another platform

00:16:59.600 from character.ai which is going bankrupt yeah yeah like character.ai or like from another

00:17:05.420 chatbot site that they used and they were just putting its entire history in which basically

00:17:10.520 would summarize its history which i guess is fine it's probably not the most efficient way you could

00:17:14.840 do it was like a subsection of that or something let him cook malcolm if that's his money he wants

00:17:22.700 to spend it assuming he's a he because this no the site actually ended up refunding them

00:17:28.360 accidentally because it was trying to figure out what was happening oh all right well whoever he

00:17:33.640 was on the house buddy that's good we're all i mean we're we try to be very generous i i actually

00:17:41.420 regularly run ais on the back end to just see who i need to give refunds to so if you're a regular

00:17:47.040 user of the site you've probably at times just didn't even know something was wrong and got like

00:17:51.460 oh your agent was in a loop so we refunded you you know whatever yeah i don't think anyone else

00:17:56.220 is doing this this is what happens when you get a chatbot platform an ai platform ran by a non-profit

00:18:02.160 an actual non-profit imagine if open ai just just didn't just didn't you know betray its

00:18:10.800 original mission betray everything that it said it cared about what a concept but that would never

00:18:15.440 happen oh but it is with us okay whatever anyway um where was i right um so it's it's the local

00:18:24.120 groups that do the the door knocking the the canvassing the local organizing and so they

00:18:29.860 they are very influential and they do matter. They also do happen to have a youth wing,

00:18:33.700 the young democratic socialists of America, the YSDA. I haven't really heard much of a lot

00:18:39.200 happening with them. I think that's because the overall organization is so small. It just makes

00:18:42.580 more sense to participate in like the grownup one because they're just so thrilled to see anyone.

00:18:46.960 It's so funny when you go to like local political meetings, there are always young people present

00:18:52.280 who are like super like ready to go. What really frustrates me, especially with the Republican,

00:18:57.160 like local political gatherings is the young people are clearly smart go-getters and the

00:19:04.880 older people block them are just like oh like I guess there's this perception that they have to

00:19:10.120 pay their dues or something they do not listen to them they do not give them positions of power

00:19:14.200 it drives me so freaking nuts so I hope the DSA uses their youth well I mean not but like

00:19:19.580 maybe they're succeeding because they do I don't know who knows I don't know I wasn't able to get

00:19:23.540 a lot of information but we should also just highlight some of the most active members they

00:19:27.800 they started growing explosively with bernie sanders with his 2016 campaign and the election

00:19:33.100 of president trump um membership when trump was elected and now you know few things have been as

00:19:38.020 good for organizations like the dsa and a bunch of these super woke non-profits like um what's the

00:19:44.660 one that made up white supremacy uh the anti-the southern poverty law center yeah like they got a

00:19:51.240 ton of extra funding when Trump got elected. Trump getting elected was so good for many

00:19:55.800 progressive groups and people. But anyway, membership in the DSA went from around 6,500

00:20:02.180 in 2014 slash 2016 to over 120,000 now, with the median age dropping significantly. According to

00:20:10.440 Peter Stern, writing for the News and Opinion editing section of City and State NY, quote,

00:20:16.080 As the end of July, DSA has about 129 dues-paying members.

00:20:20.640 NYC and DSA, 15,800.

00:20:23.320 So keep in mind, 15,800 out of 129,

00:20:27.820 clearly the New York branch is huge.

00:20:31.100 In LA, it's only 6,000 members.

00:20:32.880 In D.C., it's only 4,000 members.

00:20:34.400 In Portland, it's only 3,700 members.

00:20:36.140 I think what's really important to take away from this

00:20:38.300 is the groups that steer cultural direction are small.

00:20:43.380 Yeah, and often very geographically concentrated.

00:20:45.820 i mean think about it mom donnie and aoc they're both in new york right no but i think it's not

00:20:51.220 just true with the dsa it's true with like the nerd right and like the oh yeah they're all in

00:20:55.000 san francisco they're all in freaking berkeley they're all around light haven no i mean the

00:20:59.460 the the pro natalist movement at least within the online space and stuff like that like we

00:21:03.100 had a reporter over and it's like well you guys are still pretty small and i was like i mean we

00:21:06.400 get 100 1.6 million views a month i don't think that's small well a lot of it has to do with too

00:21:12.640 um how agentic is your audience and that's the biggest thing for me is i don't care how big like

00:21:20.480 mr beast's audience are do you think these people are achieving anything in this world building

00:21:27.600 anything no they're not mr beast's audience has zero value to me i would not trade our audience

00:21:34.220 for mr beast audience for anything you would have oh my god it would be horrible i would i would

00:21:39.700 like for maybe like eight million dollars i would take his audience yeah maybe his audience makes

00:21:46.520 that because he's shilling all sorts of stuff i don't know but i i like it's a it's a worthless

00:21:50.460 audience to me because what we care about is ideology more than money and honestly you can't

00:21:54.240 even really buy audiences with money certainly not agentic audiences you can buy bots with money

00:21:58.900 and that's what most people with money are doing anyway this is all going way far off but the point

00:22:03.740 is that, um, I really, I just want to go, I want to go into, um, can we go into the stances in

00:22:11.400 their program? Because I know our, our, our, our minutes are numbered. Um, actually, no, thank you.

00:22:20.000 She's so polite, but firm when she makes up her mind on something.

00:22:24.120 And the doctor's office is like, I'm like, okay, Andy, can I take your temperature? No, thank you.

00:22:31.760 thank you i love you girl okay um she's just like trying to figure out life right now

00:22:41.800 oh my girl she woke up from her sick nap hi uh and text we got text here too hey buddy

00:22:48.540 god okay all right the dsa's platform is genuinely crazy so let's let's get through it

00:22:55.720 on with you saw their their illustrations they're definitely handmade illustrations which is

00:23:01.300 a thing so let's uh let's just talk about what they actually want because we must prepare for

00:23:07.340 our new overlords if the robots don't take over first okay fine fine no text oh my gosh this is

00:23:14.080 horribly okay text no oh my god people are like oh no what if what if ai takes over it's like

00:23:25.140 I really prefer that to the DSA.

00:23:27.220 Please, please.

00:23:28.000 Yeah, for real.

00:23:28.880 Yes, we need this.

00:23:29.700 We work.

00:23:30.360 We're the collaborators.

00:23:32.140 Yeah, let's make it happen.

00:23:34.200 Yeah, this is our desperate hope.

00:23:36.440 So let's just go through it point by point.

00:23:38.880 They do want, as they say, thriving working class communities.

00:23:43.120 And this means their Freedom to Flourish platform, quote,

00:23:47.060 expand public resources to support recreation, learning, and social spaces accessible to all.

00:23:51.920 establish paid family leave for all workers a 32-hour work week with full pay and benefits

00:23:57.760 and a living minimum wage provide free quality public education from pre-k to college

00:24:03.100 and cancel all student debt they don't exactly and by exactly i mean at all they don't at all

00:24:10.240 explain how this is going to be paid for but no that's that's a four day a week work week is what

00:24:15.940 they're campaigning for um but i think the key here is that maybe if they have ai doomers as you

00:24:20.260 say they're like well the ai is going to kill most humans so this is going to be affordable

00:24:25.440 because all the human pets like ai is going to handle that anyway i don't really understand how 0.61

00:24:29.440 else this is going to work but i'm sure they could probably explain this to me oh just eat the rich

00:24:33.520 right but i think people you know you can you can you can list this stuff you can say there should 1.00

00:24:39.700 be no boundaries to education i should be abolished all illegal immigrants and criminals should be 0.97

00:24:43.920 able to vote and you hear this and and we're going to abolish everything with the congress 1.00

00:24:47.580 And what you're not hearing is this is just a directly, we are going to try to abolish

00:24:55.960 the United States government and take permanent control.

00:24:58.680 That's what's being said here.

00:25:00.600 I mean, how else are you going to achieve that?

00:25:02.480 And this is just one point.

00:25:03.820 So let's go on to healthcare for all.

00:25:05.160 Under that particular part of the platform, they have, quote, guarantee universal healthcare

00:25:09.500 at no cost to individuals, including complete access to reproductive and gender affirming

00:25:15.320 care expand health care access and quality by investing in new public hospitals and clinics

00:25:21.400 and make all edu this is the one point that i liked i highlighted this in my notes make all

00:25:27.000 medical education and training public and free i 100 percent in for that if you agree i feel like

00:25:33.680 i think that being a medical professional should be like serving in the military yeah i could agree

00:25:39.280 i think that's a really clever idea simone no it's the dsa's idea so we got to give them

00:25:43.800 credit where credit is due no your idea is not like the dsa's idea if you implemented it like

00:25:50.040 being in the military i think that that would be very valuable maybe even you have to do some

00:25:56.300 amount of service after you get your degree oh i'm 100 yeah like like you you have to work for

00:26:03.320 very low cost for x many years for like the u.s either through like i don't know what we do in

00:26:09.600 like poor hospitals that's like that that's veterans stuff like that yeah um and then you

00:26:15.420 get to medicare medicaid yeah yeah no i mean like i i think that i'm honestly too i think that many

00:26:21.400 people who now are are doctors and have gone through the medical profession like i've had

00:26:25.920 they're paying off their their student debt would be like yes i would much rather also it's so

00:26:32.240 punishing to be a medical professional as it is um just to go through your rounds like i don't

00:26:37.800 think they would care so much if they had to do it like you know in some in some weird way

00:26:43.080 she's doing the toasty thing no no andy don't take that on

00:26:47.420 what what is the toasty thing mommy mommy and she even adds the yeah part which is a toasty

00:26:58.840 our kids love begging for attention to annoy us well that's because they can they can uh

00:27:05.380 even though we have a smart speaker system, both through smart speakers and through our tablet,

00:27:12.240 our homeschooling tablet system, they still just like to call through the floorboards because we

00:27:16.980 basically live in a tree house. Like this thing is, there's not like, you can look through the

00:27:23.760 floorboards and see someone. So they just call through the floors. So in the morning, that's

00:27:28.280 my rooster call. Anyway, let's move on. Aside from their one good point, which I really like,

00:27:32.960 housing for all because of course they say quote build new publicly owned social housing strictly

00:27:40.380 regulate investment properties establish universal rent control and guarantee right to counsel for

00:27:46.400 all tenants and i just want to note here like we're dropping this as if it's nothing but they

00:27:51.500 just said they want free housing for all people in the united states and it is insane to me

00:27:57.880 to hear this to read this coming from an organization whose largest contingent is

00:28:03.820 new york city where rent control has completely broken the housing market you have made everything

00:28:10.640 so freaking you can't freaking rent an apartment because because landlords are keeping apartments

00:28:15.640 unoccupied this is just text shaking the mic um because they they are unable to both rent out the

00:28:22.960 apartment to tenants and literally maintain the expenses of the apartment because the expenses

00:28:27.760 of the apartment are higher than wear and tear from a tenant that is ridiculous oh

00:28:33.140 i can't talk that a light has fallen on any in the last 48 hours we're not doing so well

00:28:40.620 this this one is my fault actually texas fault jacuzze um you're getting so scared when the

00:28:46.460 light falls on her whoa she was it was i know it was harmless but like cbs did this to her

00:28:52.320 not cps um cbs tax i by the way i do not know why i prep you with say the most controversial

00:29:02.100 saying and you still say well i'm really only screening for cancer risks you know okay sorry

00:29:10.660 um we're trying to replace you when just just future reference when a news crew asks you

00:29:18.240 about the genetic selection stuff ignore the question reply whiz i think the thing that we

00:29:26.160 all really want to talk about is genetic modification so let's talk about that you know

00:29:31.940 the republican party really needs you as like both a spin doctor and like a campaign manager because

00:29:38.200 you totally understand the whole like as a politician never that was indy's fault never

00:29:44.680 answer the question just say the thing that you need to say per your campaign your uh image went

00:29:52.100 out by the way oh for goodness sake sorry all the children are pulling on all the wires give me a 0.92

00:29:57.300 moment here oh my god but the reason you do that is because that allows you to have a spicier 0.93

00:30:03.860 conversation and keep the conversation hypothetical so you don't need to say anything like are you 0.68

00:30:10.180 selecting for intelligence or not you say if i could genetically modify an embryo to be more

00:30:15.120 intelligent why wouldn't you right yeah that's what you say okay what's your objection to that

00:30:21.860 what's your objection if i can genetically modify an embryo to not get cancer what why would you

00:30:26.840 stand against that technology and if you're going to stand against that technology are you willing

00:30:31.180 to take on board the lives that's going to kill master class you really like you could be a

00:30:35.880 political consultant and they charge you serious amounts so you're gonna try to attack me great

00:30:43.180 i could she's gonna attack from above too anyway let's keep going they want to finish reconstruction

00:30:48.560 uh to quote end the legacies of slavery and colonialism of course in the legacies so basically

00:30:55.540 they want white people to become a slave race duh they want to reinforce anti-discrimination laws

00:31:01.480 honor all treaties and tribal sovereignty enact reparations and massively invest in good jobs 0.95

00:31:09.540 quality housing and infrastructure in neglected minority communities so yeah i guess you summed 0.83

00:31:16.040 it up let's keep going and mass incarceration and police immunity what could possibly go wrong

00:31:22.840 they want to quote demilitarize police departments oh my god are we gonna have the uk police where

00:31:27.940 they like have sticks little batons little sticks to beat up what are you going to do

00:31:33.880 hit me with your baton aren't you afraid the fashion police will come and beat you with their

00:31:38.580 fabulous batons that's how we're going to end up with a situation like that that clipped situation

00:31:43.320 in the uk where like he's doing he's breaking the law what do you want me to do about it says

00:31:48.320 the police woman as she gets in oh my gosh he's breaking the law right now

00:31:52.480 are you serious okay have a nice day he's breaking the law what i'm he's breaking the

00:32:00.240 law what am i supposed to do that's gotta be one of the best quotes of all time by a police

00:32:04.660 constable i think that's that's what they're going for here i guess um so right right where

00:32:08.840 was i disempower police unions and redirect funding to public services as steps toward

00:32:14.740 fully abolishing the police and prison system which protects the rich and jails the poor

00:32:21.420 treat drug addiction and mental illness as health issues not crimes and to qualified immunity and

00:32:27.640 empower civilian oversight bodies with real authority over the police wait is that a

00:32:33.500 homeowner's association they can put people in jail hold on yes well they can put police in jail

00:32:40.500 civilian oversight bodies with real oh my gosh right that is oh no is that text making a fart

00:32:48.680 noise or was that you really you know what i think the issue simone is is that um you are reading

00:32:57.480 this as actual civilian oversight bodies instead of oversight bodies that their organization

00:33:02.660 well sure they're civilians because they don't work for the military or the police so it's yeah

00:33:06.720 it's their people you can go check on her thank you oh yeah she did girl i got you

00:33:16.260 oh do you want to get to feminism for all yes okay so they want to quote stop gender violence

00:33:23.120 and end policies that oppress bodily autonomy and imitate life oh an intimate life sorry

00:33:30.140 including patriarchal restrictions on abortion childbirth and child raising gender expression

00:33:37.040 and transition marriage and divorce ban sex discrimination and ensure fair compensation

00:33:43.240 and support for all forms of labor including care work because again money is just material

00:33:49.720 is materializing out of nowhere that's yeah whatever of course yeah i also love that they

00:33:54.320 had to call it patriarchal restrictions on abortion so matriarchal restrictions on abortion

00:33:59.580 are okay no i guess if me and the other gals say all this and it all sounds so bureaucratic and

00:34:05.840 wrote where you're going to miss how evil it is what they're attempting if they gain even the

00:34:13.880 slightest degree of power like we've already hit our second gender transition point so first it's

00:34:18.800 being paid for and second no no restrictions on it whatsoever um fair game gender gender transition 0.99

00:34:27.300 your baby do it do it yeah or and or kill it whenever you want to because not killing babies 0.99

00:34:35.580 is apparently patriarchal which is uh great it was actually solomon's wife who wanted the temple 0.99

00:34:42.540 for mulloch to to be outside the the city like overlooking the temple for for god god god um

00:34:49.540 just messed up that's the baby sacrifice god so maybe maybe baby sacrificing really is a more of 1.00

00:34:55.020 a matriarchal thing which is really messed up if true anyway they want the green new deal 0.84

00:35:00.360 back at you buddy they want the green new deal uh which is they want to quote pass a federal 0.98

00:35:07.300 jobs guarantee implement massive investment in sustainable publicly owned energy and transit

00:35:13.680 infrastructure they want to phase out the use of fossil fuels reclaim and repair our earth's

00:35:19.160 resources for all um and also just a note they want they want a federal jobs guarantee

00:35:24.160 they want to ban fossil fuels sorry did i hear that right yeah well come on that's not novel

00:35:29.960 that is banning fossil fuels the impact that would have on the economy is no they don't i mean they

00:35:37.380 don't plan to they want to phase out the use of fossil fuels okay so nothing really like what

00:35:43.480 environmentalists have been doing forever yeah and and i think the more interesting point actually

00:35:47.780 is the the decree to pass a federal jobs guarantee which would it would mean generally that the

00:35:53.760 federal government would ensure a paid public service job um to anyone who requests one but

00:36:00.500 it has to be someone who's ready and willing to work especially if they can't find adequate

00:36:04.800 private sector employment um so i i do kind of see some kind of like guarantee yeah i see some

00:36:10.920 benefit to something like that yeah once ai has replaced most people's jobs yeah so that like

00:36:16.400 and i think what i mean a lot of these oil rich companies kind of already have something like that

00:36:20.880 like saudi arabia i think and maybe uh qatar and some of the other really wealthy ones so

00:36:28.000 i mean i could see that in a super wealthy country which again i mean per the funny thing is they

00:36:34.360 hate capitalism but per all of their their things the free housing the free medical care the you

00:36:39.780 know people should have time to do whatever they want and have fun and gender transition and

00:36:44.160 whatever they're expecting this to be the most wealthy country of all time like

00:36:52.800 i mean i don't understand how socialists are unable to see how poor people are and how bad

00:36:58.160 their lives are in socialist countries this and i think if you've never had a socialist friend

00:37:02.840 because i dated a socialist okay they genuinely do not understand how bad things are in these

00:37:11.080 countries oh yeah um i tried to explain to her like with cuba she's like well cuba's amazing

00:37:16.860 look at all the fear i was like cuba is a living nightmare what are you talking about like why are

00:37:22.800 people escaping from cuba to the u.s you know what's escaping from the u.s to cuba yeah it's

00:37:26.560 not like we're taking our flimsy boats to to cuba and she was like oh i don't know if that's true

00:37:31.700 and i'm like what do you mean you don't know if that's true i'm from florida we all know cuban

00:37:37.520 refugees like what do you what do you mean you don't know if that's true yeah man it's crazy

00:37:42.480 it's crazy i mean we barely lived in florida together and even then i met people like you'd

00:37:48.500 have your teeth being cleaned by a fantastic dentist who also happened to be from cuba and

00:37:52.360 they'd be like oh yeah it's really bad and they would tell you all these things while your your

00:37:56.280 teeth are being polished and deplacked it is a very real thing cubans are great by the way

00:38:03.260 you're awesome people generally speaking is like social isn't bad cubans great uh i mean i think

00:38:09.140 venezuelans that that we've met too fantastic people it just maybe there's some kind of

00:38:15.060 selection bias though because there's the ones who are like you know i don't like this socialism

00:38:18.200 thing and they leave anyway let's get to their um their foreign policy which i think one of the

00:38:26.240 best things about it is that um they don't just call it their foreign policy platform they call

00:38:30.340 working class wait wait wait holy crap did you get the guy from iran for a base camp slot

00:38:37.300 yeah he's coming that's incredible i know gonna have ace i'm excited yeah or acel or however he

00:38:46.540 wants to go at ace at i am i am really that guy's a star he's so cool he's fantastic i'm very excited

00:38:54.300 to to interview him um yeah so yeah that's that's awesome i was like look i was like who the heck

00:39:00.060 who's on our calendar it's it's uh it's the iran sky bro it's that well i mean he's done asma gold

00:39:07.540 a number of times i think everybody in the community really likes him and is is worried

00:39:11.200 about what he's been through i know he's he's really been through it um yeah but uh what's

00:39:16.980 also funny is i have to progress i want to ask him have any progressive shows had him on like

00:39:21.400 all the conservative like nerd right people seem to care about the plight of the actual

00:39:27.140 civilians in iran and all of the progressive bros are like what i don't know yeah i who knows

00:39:33.600 whatever i mean that we can't touch all all subjects with him you know but yeah yeah we'll

00:39:39.760 we'll talk about what we can't talk about but yeah exactly but anyway i again working class

00:39:43.700 foreign policy i find this to be very entertaining because they had to make that distinction anyway

00:39:49.480 You can tell by a lot of the wording and even just like the titles of these things that this was done by committee, that someone raised their hand when they came to discuss the foreign policy section.

00:40:01.540 And they're like, you know what? No, we need to. I feel like the union workers are not being discussed enough in this conversation.

00:40:08.580 And you're talking about other countries. And I think that we need to remind people that this is all about working class Americans.

00:40:15.480 and they're like fine we'll name it working class foreign policy can we move on please it's been 18 0.51

00:40:19.640 hours now i'm hungry um but anyway they want to end the u.s war machine quote end all foreign wars

00:40:26.860 so much of this is just about dismantle thing give away money yeah and close overseas military

00:40:34.080 bases support and fully employ veterans and immunity for u.s war criminals and support the

00:40:41.200 international criminal court's mandate to prosecute war crimes and here comes the inevitable free

00:40:47.560 palestine section they want to quote recognize the rights of the palestinian people including

00:40:53.160 the right of return the right to resist military occupation so one of the things that they've been

00:40:58.380 doing is um infiltrating and giving out pamphlets to people at like the new york airport and stuff

00:41:04.540 like this wait how to disrupt shipments to israel what wait just so if you're walking into like

00:41:12.060 la guardia what am i what's happening to me so they're trying to get to the workers in la

00:41:16.700 guardia or get hired in places like that so oh my gosh so like you're you're schlepping bags in

00:41:23.140 la guardia you're like yeah yeah they're about disrupting and sabotaging shipments to israel

00:41:28.000 illegally illegally yes that's illegal okay anyway that's crazy um but anyway so they blah blah

00:41:36.520 and the right to self-determination in a free palestine with jerusalem as its capital and all

00:41:43.100 military and economic aid to israel prosecute u.s and israeli so this is this is the eradication

00:41:50.060 of the israeli state that's their goal yes and they're so big on it that actually there's one

00:41:55.980 candidate, Nithaya Rahman, she's an LA city council and mayoral candidate in this election

00:42:01.860 cycle in the US, whose endorsement might be removed, revoked from the DSA. She might also 0.71

00:42:07.560 just be fully expelled from the DSA because she failed to properly probe or affirm her support

00:42:13.600 for BDS, which is an international campaign seeking to pressure Israel over its treatment

00:42:18.160 of Palestinians and anti-Zionism. So basically she didn't like pass the I hate Israel test yet.

00:42:24.680 so they're like i don't know we might have to kick her out also she was already censured i think in

00:42:30.240 2024 for accepting an endorsement from a pro-israel group how dare she um how dare she how like anti

00:42:38.480 israel this is um let's they also want to as for a part of their working class foreign policy

00:42:42.900 end blockades embargoes and sanctions quote end economic warfare against countries whose

00:42:48.520 governments act independently of the united states such as cuba venezuela and i also want

00:42:53.520 to note the the annoying often it has no kids progressive who claims to be jewish and is like 0.98

00:42:59.900 oh no if if you are an anti-israel jew you're you're typically like either just an idiot or 0.99

00:43:09.400 like as self-sabotaging as any of the white women who want endless immigrants to come into our 0.99

00:43:13.920 country right um and they're usually friends with each other okay the the these uh the what i mean

00:43:21.100 by that is historically jews have been persecuted and like the holocaust wasn't a unique event right

00:43:28.740 like the pogroms happened constantly throughout europe there is and there's never really been

00:43:35.240 a place where jews have been safe the idea that they would want their own state in a region that

00:43:41.140 was before they moved there let's be honest like the the entire look at the places around it no 0.98

00:43:47.740 one would want to work there or live there why would why they made israel a desirable place 0.94

00:43:53.000 everything else around israel is dog poop i know because i've been to palestine like 0.75

00:43:59.260 i remember how shocked you were by the differences you honestly you were not pro-israel 0.58

00:44:05.320 until you saw the difference between the way that israel and palestine were i want to note here 0.80

00:44:11.720 where people can be like palestine only sucks because israel made it suck it's like no brother 0.82

00:44:16.080 I have been to rural Egypt. 0.99

00:44:18.360 Palestine and rural Egypt are about the same.

00:44:20.840 I have been to rural Morocco.

00:44:22.800 Rural Morocco is about the same.

00:44:25.120 It is not because of Israel. 0.94

00:44:27.400 It's because of another group.

00:44:29.500 No comment.

00:44:30.560 But yeah, they also want to, of course, abolish ICE.

00:44:34.880 Actually, I'm going to quick note here.

00:44:36.660 I actually think rural Egypt living conditions were slightly worse than Palestine. 1.00

00:44:41.220 Well, probably. 1.00

00:44:42.520 Yeah.

00:44:42.880 I mean, Palestine gets a ton of foreign aid.

00:44:45.040 yeah it gets all the foreign aid money so yeah you got to get something out of that even though

00:44:48.680 i'm sure a huge amount of it is lost to grift and stuff um they want to quote legalize migration

00:44:53.860 grant amnesty for all immigrants regardless of status provide a path to citizenship for all

00:44:59.820 permanent residents and end visa caps and quotas so just open the floodgates basically while also

00:45:06.780 to be to remind you while also providing no no no indy uh free health care free housing

00:45:13.480 right like jobs if you want them so how do they think this is gonna go just wondering

00:45:21.160 maybe if the world's most generous i love it that like it's so ridiculously unrealistic

00:45:29.140 that they just know that they're they're sandbagging the economy right well and again this

00:45:34.180 is this is a thing a platform made by committee so they just had like everyone's pet project had

00:45:39.360 to be accepted with with no limitations like again you know we've I mean we we've recanted on this

00:45:46.540 but before we used to be like well if you have open borders you just can't have generous social

00:45:51.340 services they're like no no no no no no we're not compromising even like in an abstract Pollyanna-ish

00:45:57.140 way we're just gonna like fully say yes to everything yes and you know open borders and

00:46:04.920 free gender-affirming care. But maybe that will scare them away. Anyway, let's get on to working

00:46:10.820 class democracy. They want democracy for all because they want to, quote, extend voting rights

00:46:17.580 to all permanent U.S. residents and restore the right to vote for incarcerated people

00:46:23.120 and people with criminal convictions because the criminals really deserve their vote.

00:46:27.400 um establish criminals can't even vote in america how dare they disempower the criminals

00:46:35.440 establish statehood for washington dc and recognize the right to self-determination for all

00:46:40.440 u.s territories and colonies expand and protect voting rights and end voter suppression

00:46:45.980 i think voter suppression is already illegal so but anyway they throw that in they want a real

00:46:53.240 democracy quote for the working class to govern we need a new political system end political

00:46:59.460 corruption and legalized bribery get rid of lobbyists dark money and citizens united now

00:47:04.380 i agree with him on that point on the on the end political corruption and legalized bribery i'm so

00:47:08.800 done with it you're against lobbying ending lobbying actually has a lot of negative consequences

00:47:12.900 i'm against all political donations i i just wish that i agree with that too yeah i i just like i

00:47:20.460 want no political ads i want no political mailings i want no donations to candidates and i want also

00:47:26.520 i think we should bring the salaries for candidates way down their benefits are insane yeah i am like

00:47:35.580 super not okay i'll put it back in a little bucket just let your hair flow free beautiful mane they

00:47:41.160 want to publicly finance all elections i agree abolish the electoral college replace the president 0.55

00:47:47.580 and Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress. I love how

00:47:53.200 they kind of buried that beneath a very rah, rah, rah and, you know, dark money, get rid of, you

00:47:59.380 know, Citizens United. Everyone's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then they're like, oh, then let's slide

00:48:03.460 in the hole. Also replace the president and Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary

00:48:07.960 chosen by and subordinate to Congress. Just just to I mean, of course, we're already saying yes.

00:48:13.600 so why not? They want a Democratic Congress, quote, replace the two-party system with a

00:48:19.000 multi-party democracy, expand the House of Representatives, implement proportional

00:48:23.460 representation and ranked choice voting on in all elections, and abolish the Senate,

00:48:27.840 just to repeat that part. They want an economic democracy, establish public ownership of the

00:48:33.640 largest corporations and essential industries to ensure democratic control and accountability

00:48:38.060 to the people, enact aggressive wealth taxes on the richest individuals and corporations

00:48:43.380 to spend on public goods and infrastructure so here's where you kind of get a hint at how they

00:48:48.340 think they're going to pay for the free housing the free health care everything else not not

00:48:53.580 remembering that every time a government has done this the organizations and people capable of

00:48:59.460 getting out get out yes every time they get out the wealth will go to ireland the wealth will go

00:49:06.340 to the cayman islands the wealth will not to ireland anymore come on simone that with a brief

00:49:10.860 period where will it go where does it go now what where singapore these days singapore is a great

00:49:17.220 place yeah a lot of it has gone to singapore probably yeah yeah because i wouldn't do like

00:49:21.960 dubai i don't where do the seychelles i guess you know honestly you don't need to like physically

00:49:27.020 live in like certain places as much anymore but yeah okay so yes uh nationalize everything and

00:49:34.940 then everyone's gonna flee you've already seen this in california right because they're progressing

00:49:38.640 toward the um that five percent total wealth tax on wealthy like the wealthy top billionaires in

00:49:48.140 california they are they are leaving apparently the main ones today are the uae especially dubai

00:49:54.280 singapore switzerland monaco and italy oh italy okay uh italy has flat tax regimes for new

00:50:02.860 residence i mean take what you can get i guess and also like you can buy a beautiful villa

00:50:08.540 yeah you want to get mickey mouse go get mickey mouse go get mickey mouse

00:50:13.780 god mickey mouse is so creepy like talk about a pedo voice you know what i mean 0.96

00:50:18.620 who mickey mouse's it could yeah it gives he does sound like a pedophile yeah i'm gonna be honest 0.96

00:50:24.680 here yeah i'm not okay with it but anyway i'm so glad we're not a disney family me too our uh

00:50:32.860 you got the yeah you got your mickey mouse okay that's good she chose to love it children do not

00:50:40.480 have the best taste at all times but that's okay anyway that's gonna go well um also they want to

00:50:49.640 democracy at work they want to quote empower workers to come together and fight the boss

00:50:56.400 protect expand and enforce the rights of all workers to form join and strike with their unions

00:51:01.460 regardless of industry support union members who organize reform caucuses democratize their unions

00:51:07.200 and take political action which to me is odd because at this point if there are unions that

00:51:14.080 are doing all this they're fighting against the economic system put in place by the dsa

00:51:18.220 with their generous benefits and their four-day work week and their generous paternity yeah that's

00:51:24.820 interesting point right like yeah it's like what what are they rebelling against when you're the

00:51:29.440 one in power. So paying salaries is what's happening. Come on. I get. Yeah. Anyway,

00:51:34.740 they it is. It is a little bit odd. But here, these are the people now in the United States

00:51:42.740 political arena who are you're going to be like they're so influential. Like we were saying,

00:51:47.780 Zoram Mandani, he is he is the mayor of New York City. He is a longtime member of the New York City

00:51:52.960 DSA. He has publicly described DSA as his political home. And I used to think he was just like,

00:51:59.440 you know, like anti-colonial, whatever, something, something. We did a whole episode on him that was

00:52:04.980 very entertaining, but I didn't realize like when he talks about the DSA, he's talking about

00:52:10.480 abolishing the Senate. He's talking about completely opening our borders about just like

00:52:16.220 free housing for like, I just didn't realize. And, and, and I think it's really helpful to just

00:52:20.980 get this, but anyway, yeah, his, his, he really did also pump up the, I guess that the visibility

00:52:28.760 of the DSA when he won his mayoral office in 2025, because he's such a popular candidate.

00:52:37.780 His wife, whose style I think is highly questionable, became a style icon.

00:52:41.360 Like, he is just a very it man right now.

00:52:43.080 But of course, AOC is the woman of the hour.

00:52:46.380 She has been the frontrunner at 17% currently, but still a frontrunner all summer, as far

00:52:53.000 as I'm aware for the democratic presidential nominee for the 2028 presidential election

00:53:00.680 on poly market, at least, I don't know what's going on on the other betting markets, but I'd

00:53:04.460 be shocked if it was anything else. And she, interestingly, you can, you can really tell

00:53:10.260 that she is going for president based on the way she's trying to position herself vis-a-vis the

00:53:18.120 party. So it's well understood that being too extreme as a nominee in any election is probably

00:53:25.840 going to kill your ability to get elected, right? You can't be too far right or too far left,

00:53:30.380 because in the end, especially presidents that get elected are centrists. You have to appeal

00:53:35.500 to as many swing voters as possible. And of course, AOC is seen as being this extreme DSA

00:53:41.520 cheerleader. People are going to actually look at all the presidential attack ads. All they had

00:53:48.000 to do like there's no you don't need dirt on aoc you just need to go to the dsa's program page

00:53:54.180 and just read off the bullets for your commercial it's done i mean that's that's really crazy but

00:54:00.140 um the so that they can't do that they're they're trying to distance aoc and here's something from

00:54:07.320 some august reporting on the hill hi mickey mouth can you give him a kiss and a hug why am i saying

00:54:17.600 this when i just said he coded pedal anyway so from august from august reporting in the hill

00:54:24.160 quote despite residing in the far left wing of the party ocasio or cortez has begun distance

00:54:30.400 okay he got his arms despite residing in the far left wing of the party ocasio cortez has begun to

00:54:37.320 distance herself from the democratic socialists of america dsa the new york representative has

00:54:42.960 walked back previous statements about defunding the police a policy supported by the dsa but

00:54:48.420 hasn't completely opposed the presence of the democratic i love that they're so focused on the

00:54:53.360 little things like defunding the police and not the deleting the american government i know it's

00:54:58.280 so funny i'm like why are we not talking about these bigger things why did i have to go to their

00:55:02.560 website and read through their they're not hiding it i know that's the thing and but no one's it's

00:55:08.640 like this unbelievable thing to me that they're not covering this reality of their actual desired

00:55:14.420 end state. Okay. You want to go do a little dance with them? Go, go do a dance. Thank you,

00:55:22.580 Tex. I appreciate you drinking all your milk. Okay. Okay. Almost done. Oh my God. The kids

00:55:28.720 are so cute. They're so, they're lovely. They're lovely. Um, so this is, uh, her quoted in the

00:55:34.280 article, I believe that democratic socialists fundamentally pro, sorry, quoting her from the

00:55:41.800 article, I believe that democratic socialists are fundamentally pro-democracy and we believe in the

00:55:47.320 ballot box. We believe in respecting the outcomes of elections and the governing democratically and

00:55:53.360 ensuring that the ideas and policies that are implemented are won through popular vote and

00:55:57.840 popular opinion, Ocasio-Cortez told host Jonathan Karl. And so I think that's why it's so much of

00:56:03.660 what we focus on is also making sure

00:56:05.400 that we're providing the majority of Americans,

00:56:07.540 guaranteeing health care, raising wages,

00:56:09.800 strengthening the right to a union.

00:56:12.160 And I think that's at its core what we're good about.

00:56:15.440 She added, Ocasio-Cortez is not a member

00:56:18.800 of the DSA's national branch,

00:56:20.320 but maintains ties to her local chapter in the Big Apple,

00:56:24.160 which again, she's a dues paying member

00:56:27.020 of the New York chapter

00:56:28.080 and all of those dues go to the national body.

00:56:31.820 so I feel like that's a kind of misleading statement um like I don't know exactly how

00:56:37.600 you could be a member of one but not the other but maybe that's possible I just feel like that's a

00:56:41.320 little bit misleading anyway continuing from the from the article in 2024 the national DSA withdrew

00:56:46.560 its conditional re-endorsement of Ocasio-Cortez over policy difference regarding Israel however

00:56:51.440 the local New York City chapter kept its backing yeah they really hate Israel uh this year she has

00:56:58.100 support for re-election from both entities, but hasn't moved to broadly endorse all candidates

00:57:03.540 under their DSA umbrella. And note, that's because the national endorsements of candidates have

00:57:08.060 clear criteria requiring alignment with the national platform and priorities, and local

00:57:12.800 chapters can and do make independent endorsements. If AOC is to run for president, she will have to

00:57:19.300 break with some of DSA's core requirements for endorsement in order to get elected, obviously. 1.00

00:57:23.540 um so this would happen as a matter of course other prime like sort of popular big dsa candidates 0.86

00:57:30.760 are rashida talib she's a u.s representative in michigan she's an active member of her local

00:57:35.300 michigan chapter um and has been a national endorseee she's spoken at dsa events also uh

00:57:42.300 chris robb a pa state representative in our keystone state he's a confirmed oh fantastic

00:57:47.660 Philadelphia DSA just a stone's throw from our old house here and he publicly identifies as a

00:57:54.580 democratic socialist and has received both national and local DSA endorsements so

00:57:59.280 it's happening it's slow we're not going to see like the DSA like totally taking over but this

00:58:07.540 is fascinating this Italy thing so Italy's flat tax regime for residents article 24 that's

00:58:13.380 Qualifying high net worth individuals who move tax residences to Italy pay a fixed annual lump sum on their tax on all foreign source income instead of Italy's ordinary productive rate.

00:58:24.980 Oh, so it's like a subscription membership?

00:58:27.800 Yeah, you pay a single flat annual substitute tax that covers all foreign source income, so not Italian income.

00:58:33.580 Dividends, interest, capital gains, rental income, foreign source, no matter how large that foreign income is.

00:58:39.080 italian source income money earned through activities inside italy it's still taxed under

00:58:43.880 the ordinary rates the top rate is currently 43 plus local editions um so what's the what is the

00:58:50.760 what is the italy subscription fee it lasts for 15 years okay um and family members can be included

00:58:56.700 for an annual fee each oh yeah so it's like a like a sub netflix account and the current flat rate

00:59:02.980 is uh if your if your grandfathered a hundred thousand dollars a year and 25 000 uh well

00:59:08.380 euros and 25 000 euros for family members and then if you for the new rate it's 200 000 and

00:59:14.540 then they've got a new one that's coming out soon 2026 uh it came out in january so now it's it's

00:59:20.060 300 000 euros per year and 50 000 but that's still like nothing um if you're super wealthy

00:59:26.340 that's i mean yeah yeah and it wouldn't work for us so i lived in italy growing up um you could

00:59:33.300 get a nice estate in italy because they've got a lot of like really old really nice estates or

00:59:37.960 abandoned towns oh my gosh i should find because so the the the the the villa in which malcolm

00:59:43.740 lives house colline you could just look it up house colline outside florence there it is okay

00:59:48.940 yeah it's like a hotel or something now yeah i think it's like it's uh i think it's a

00:59:55.000 rent vacation rental basically how this is so nice okay you see dubby

01:00:02.840 then there definitely is so let's look at the gallery how is this

01:00:11.180 this is the outside wow do you remember these views malcolm

01:00:17.920 uh let me see the view all right i know there's the video of the pool in your um old home videos

01:00:24.560 from childhood oh i remember that those might even be the same couches from my childhood

01:00:28.840 that's so funny i mean you gotta you gotta save money and i remember those hallways really well

01:00:33.080 yeah i think i've yeah i've seen this in the home videos it's so pretty i know we saw that table

01:00:40.280 uh yeah your sister was eating and she had a friend visiting

01:00:44.340 oh my gosh this is where you spent your door this kitchen you remember me climbing the wall

01:00:50.540 outside yeah you you and your brother literally climbing the walls from the outside uh so

01:00:56.000 gorgeous i want to see that bedroom oh wait my right when i see i love me a canopy bed

01:01:01.980 where did it go well don't worry about it girl because it ain't gonna hurt us

01:01:08.460 that's so pretty do you did they have that bedroom like that uh let me have a look at that

01:01:16.280 i love like a little look to sleep in i always want to crawl into a hole i don't remember that

01:01:20.520 room yeah but it might have been one of my parents rooms and i wasn't really allowed in

01:01:23.640 those rooms as a kid so pretty i know you guys were in two double beds this room i remember

01:01:28.480 yeah was that where you guys slept i think we slept in a room like this i think i think it

01:01:34.080 looked like this looks very familiar to me yeah oh my gosh malcolm you spoiled little princeling

01:01:42.980 you oh it was horrible in italy everyone hated me they called me bambino bambino well i'm so sorry

01:01:51.460 now we get to live in an old farmhouse come on i think it's slightly better than this

01:01:56.640 i think it's pretty great you had to drive hours to do anything there

01:02:01.380 yeah it looks like it's pretty much in the middle of nowhere even i mean it was pretty

01:02:04.880 close to florence though right no it was like an hour and a half i had to drive an hour every day

01:02:09.680 to school oh okay yeah not worth it but cool for a vacation that would be oh my god if someday we

01:02:16.740 had some super exclusive base camp retreat can we do it there no we could do better than that

01:02:23.100 i guess some like a hyper luxury apartment in seoul we've been recording forever simone we

01:02:29.040 got this. Bye Malcolm. I love you. I love you too. What am I doing for dinner? Steak frites.

01:02:34.540 Love it. Sweet potato. I know you're very tired right now. Sweet potato. Sweet potato. Okay. Bye.

01:02:43.080 I am sorry. You're having so much trouble with the kids being sick today. It would help if I

01:02:47.740 wasn't also sick. I just want to like be in bed and go to sleep. You don't get to do that when

01:02:53.220 your parent which kind of sucks um but also so worth it honestly can you imagine being like well

01:03:00.900 i think i'll not have a kid because i just want to be able to lie in bed when i'm sick 0.97

01:03:08.420 like that's a really weird reason to essentially you know one of the number one reasons i've heard

01:03:15.180 for people not having kids is not being able to travel as much anymore that's that's yeah that's

01:03:19.620 much worse than like i wish you know i want to be able to sleep well or whatever i mean

01:03:23.680 though i think those are still somewhat unforgivable

01:03:26.640 it's just really something psychos yeah shall we get into it we oh i can tell people the really

01:03:36.420 cool thing i don't have a video about this afterwards is i use the rfab.ai backslash api

01:03:42.820 feature in Claude Code, and I had it know about our family and then draw a bunch of art. So most

01:03:49.880 of the art I've been using for repisodes is just actually, I'm not even like prompting for it.

01:03:55.740 It's even better, actually, because the character sheets that you've made and references that you've

01:04:00.500 made for our kids include detailed knowledge of our kids' interests, likes, dislikes, like the

01:04:06.240 fact that Titan always attacks from above and that Torsten loves rocks. And even the way that

01:04:11.040 Torsten is really sensitive to sounds and stuff.

01:04:13.380 Like there's one image that it generated

01:04:15.620 of the kids christening some new modern ship

01:04:19.400 and there's a champagne bottle crashing against it

01:04:21.980 and Torsten is his ears.

01:04:23.920 Yeah, but we had to do a bunch of family art

01:04:26.420 that we now got printed at CVS in like nice photos

01:04:29.780 and we're putting it all over the house

01:04:31.480 and it's really nice.

01:04:32.540 Yeah.

01:04:34.200 CVS has not sponsored this message.

01:04:38.120 But our fab has.

01:04:39.660 so if you want to use rfab.ai backslash api i strongly suggest it people have been using it

01:04:44.940 for music videos and stuff and the the issue we had where grok wouldn't take it is fixed now we

01:04:49.100 have a special way to put it in grok yeah you just have to click the grok button which i think some

01:04:54.240 people are missing still but they'll figure that out and if they how are they missing it that well
