Based Camp - Zohran Mamdani： Understanding the Philosophy That Will Dominate The New Left

00:00:00.000 Hello, Simone. I am excited to be here with you today. Today, we are going to be talking about

00:00:03.580 Zoran Mondani, who won the election overwhelmingly. I don't know if you saw,

00:00:08.820 but he won to such an extent where even if the Republican candidate hadn't been running,

00:00:14.180 he still would have won. He won with over 50% of the vote.

00:00:17.940 58%, right? A lot.

00:00:19.980 Yeah, like a lot. And this, when I saw this, and when I saw a lot of election wins among

00:00:26.540 Democrats, which I didn't expect them to win as strongly as they did this cycle, especially

00:00:30.920 among the more communist-leaning branch of Democrats, it was sort of like a wake-up call

00:00:36.140 for me as I've seen Zoran Mondani as kind of like a joke, right? Like, oh yeah, he's going to screw 0.66

00:00:41.700 up New York, you know, typical lefty nonsense, bunch of dumb policies. But I never really took 0.99

00:00:47.980 the time to understand where he was, what he came from, what he stands for in terms of how

00:00:55.920 politics are going to shift in this country.

00:00:58.500 Will the brain bug reveal? Federal scientists are working around the clock to probe its secrets.

00:01:06.020 Once we understand the bug, we will defeat it.

00:01:13.300 Because as I pointed out in the episode, now that the Gazan war is over, right? Now that

00:01:20.160 environmentalism is over. And like, we'll do an episode on that where even Bill Gates, I don't

00:01:25.100 know if you saw this recently, but he put out a thing being like, the Gates Foundation

00:01:27.920 is no longer going to focus on environmentalism in the same way. Basically, like, Greta said

00:01:32.820 it's over, the Gates Foundation said it's over, environmentalism is done. So I'm like, now

00:01:38.020 that they don't have environmentalism, now that they don't have the Gaza war, now that

00:01:41.220 trans people seem to be on the outs, even with progressives, what does progressive move

00:01:45.360 to next? What does the cause move to next? And Simone hypothesized in that video, they're

00:01:50.320 going to move towards communism, they're going to move towards forcible wealth redistribution

00:01:55.140 and authoritarian control of governments. And I heard that and I was like, oh, come on,

00:02:00.040 Simone, that's a silly hypothesis. But then I look at the love that Zoran is getting and

00:02:04.800 I'm like, I might have a smart wife. 1.00

00:02:07.140 I know, man. Yeah. Who has bladder control problems and good predictive powers? This lady! 1.00

00:02:13.100 Ha ha! From the pregnancy when you have kids. Yeah. It's just, you laugh and you pee. You sneeze

00:02:20.900 and you pee. You run and you pee. Well, you've got a giant baby in you. You don't have as much

00:02:24.600 room for organs or storage. But anyway, you're not making pregnancy sound very, we're supposed

00:02:30.020 to be selling pregnancy to our audience here, Simone. Yeah, well, you don't want to sugarcoat it

00:02:33.940 either. It's a very common thing. But anyway, so no, but I was, I, I, or maybe I should be

00:02:40.740 scared that you could model them so well. Maybe you still have that, that urban monoculture

00:02:44.840 in your mind. I 100% do. And everyone who watches this podcast knows that. I, I, I serve

00:02:50.880 as the de facto representative. The medium. What are the ghosts saying? How, how are they

00:02:55.980 speaking? What's happening next? I have to see you. I think you're right. I think you're

00:02:59.340 right. I think I was, I was wrong to not be as certain about it. And I want to understand

00:03:03.140 this guy. Okay. And understand him without the hyperbole and without the histionics that you

00:03:10.460 often get when right-leaning people are talking about him or his policies. Cause I think there's

00:03:15.680 some aspects of him when I went through and studied his history and past that are hugely

00:03:21.260 oversold. The biggest one being just how socialist he is. He's really not as socialist as you would

00:03:28.500 expect. He's more just like a normal Democrat. Plus the one that is undersold is how it's very

00:03:37.680 clear. His goal is to turn the world into an Islamic state. 1.00

00:03:41.840 Okay. So that's the undersold part. Oversold is his socialism. Oh, few undersold Islamic state. 0.99

00:03:50.240 What? Yeah. It's his extreme solidarity with terrorist organizations, terrorist actors,

00:03:58.280 and terrorist related goals. Often tied towards Muslims in, in, in increasing their population

00:04:06.060 to the point where they control governments. And it makes sense when you look at his background. So,

00:04:10.220 so we're going to go into his background here and why he wouldn't see this as a negative thing.

00:04:14.700 Right. So he was born on October 18th, 1991. By the way, does that make you sad?

00:04:19.660 God. In the nineties. He's a child.

00:04:23.920 He's in his thirties, but still that makes me feel so old. Cause I remember when people would date

00:04:28.240 girls born in their nineties and I'd be like, Oh, that's cradle Robin. That's like too young.

00:04:31.640 That was just like Zoran Mondami. In Kampala, Uganda, Mondami is the only child of prominent

00:04:40.760 parents. His father, Mahamud Mondami is a renowned academic in post-colonial studies. And his mother,

00:04:47.120 Mira Nair, is an acclaimed filmmaker for works like Moonsun Wedding and The Namesake.

00:04:54.080 Wait, Monsoon Wedding?

00:04:56.060 Monsoon Wedding, yes.

00:04:56.940 She made Monsoon Wedding? Damn. 1.00

00:05:00.060 So yeah, he was very wealthy growing up. 1.00

00:05:02.440 Wow. That was a really big hit. I mean, it's a great movie. I listened to the soundtrack

00:05:08.100 constantly when I was a kid. Damn. 1.00

00:05:10.780 Both parents are of Indian descent. His father, a Gujatari Muslim born in Bombay, now Mumbai, 1.00

00:05:17.480 and raised in Uganda with family roots in Indian diaspora across the Southeast Africa.

00:05:23.680 And his mother, a Punjabi Hindu from Rakhlani, India, whose own mother founded the Salam Balaka

00:05:34.200 Trust for Child Welfare.

00:05:37.380 I can't.

00:05:38.260 Mondavi holds Uganda, U.S. citizenship, naturalized in 2018, and identifies as a Shia Muslim of the

00:05:46.920 Twelver branch.

00:05:47.820 His middle name, Kawar, honors Kawar Nakamura, Ghana's first president, reflecting his family's

00:05:54.240 Pan-African leanings.

00:05:55.900 Oh, and one thing we're going to get into this, which I find pretty interesting, it's despite

00:05:58.660 his incredibly sort of Islamist goals, his Islamist goals are seen through the lens of

00:06:05.320 urban monoculture sort of communist agenda, like the people at university campuses and

00:06:11.820 stuff like that. Not directly like terrorists, but in the way that they will like, you know,

00:06:17.360 glaze terrorists.

00:06:18.820 But if it's urban monoculture Islamism, isn't it just urban monoculture with a hijab? 0.98

00:06:27.420 No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I mean, it's calling for a global infatata, like it's a, and we'll

00:06:32.840 get into what that means in the context of that.

00:06:35.500 Okay.

00:06:35.740 Hmm. But in the context of what it would mean to him, because what I want to go over

00:06:39.960 now, it's like what his dad actually studied, what his dad actually wrote. So you can get

00:06:43.260 an idea of the ideas that he was drenched in. But what I was going to say is later we're

00:06:46.940 going to talk about how even they've been able to get support from Hasidic Jewish communities

00:06:51.100 and leaders.

00:06:52.080 Yeah. Yeah.

00:06:53.140 I've seen the endorsements. It's crazy.

00:06:55.600 Why would these groups be supporting him? And I think it is out of a, what people often

00:07:02.640 forget is that these communities are one, in vulnerable positions within where they

00:07:06.360 are in Manhattan. And two, they are often anti-Zionist and want the Jewish state to be

00:07:11.340 eliminated. And so people forget that for religious reasons. And I won't go too deep into that.

00:07:17.080 I might do another episode on that.

00:07:18.700 Chime into the comments if you want it.

00:07:20.980 But on this one, Mondami was the author of influential books such as Citizen and Subject,

00:07:27.080 which introduced the concept of the bifurcated state in colonial governance, good Muslim

00:07:32.520 bad Muslim, when victims become killers, and neither settler nor native. 0.99

00:07:38.480 So it's like the Muslim version of rich dad, poor dad. 1.00

00:07:41.740 Yes. Yes. But I wanted to understand what, okay, so what is like neither settler or native 0.77

00:07:47.380 about? Like what is the mind space that this guy is in, right?

00:07:50.700 Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:07:51.620 It argues that the modern nation state born from colonialism and nationalism inherently creates

00:07:57.780 permanent minorities through the exclusion of certain groups, leading to violence, ethnic

00:08:02.260 cleansing, and genocide. Mondami traces political modernity back to 1492 with the Reconquista in

00:08:08.840 Spain and European colonization of the Americas, rather than the Treaty of Westphalia. He critiques the

00:08:14.680 settler native binary imposed by colonialism, distinguishing settlers who arrive with a nationalist

00:08:20.260 agenda from immigrants who seek shared homelands without exclusivity. The book calls for

00:08:26.220 decolonialization by depoliticizing identity, rejecting criminal justice approaches to mass

00:08:31.720 violence, like trials with entrenched divisions, and instead fostering an equal citizenship among

00:08:37.340 quote unquote survivors who recognize their shared colonialization. All right. So can you sort of begin to

00:08:45.540 picture what this guy, like what his view of his own role is in society, and what his view of how

00:08:50.860 society works? He sees America as a colonialist state by individuals who are not natives, right? They 0.98

00:08:59.500 immigrated into this country with a nationalist agenda from Europe. And this is not, you know,

00:09:05.740 factually untrue. Like I can see how- Yeah, I mean, America was created by exactly that type of

00:09:11.020 population. People coming from other places to build a city upon a hill, their vision of a better world.

00:09:17.020 Right. Now, it's important to remember, you know, if I was to critique his views, I would say,

00:09:21.980 well, what you're forgetting is that America was made up of a bunch of Native American tribes that

00:09:26.540 were constantly murdering each other and taking each other's land. And not only that, but there were

00:09:31.500 other native populations that had come from entirely different genetic waves that we're now aware of,

00:09:37.900 that the Native Americans that we encountered when we arrived here had completely genocided 1.00

00:09:42.380 before taking over the region. So they had genocided the previous population, 0.78

00:09:47.180 taken their land. We then came into the country and they were constantly fighting with each other

00:09:51.260 and taking each other's lands. And when we came into the country, what the normative standpoint of

00:09:56.620 Native Americans was, was, oh, there's a bunch of European groups coming in here who all seem to hate

00:10:01.580 each other. Let's see if we can play them off each other to kill off the groups who we hate, 0.99

00:10:06.620 right? Like this idea of Native versus colonist was not what was actually happening at the time 0.75

00:10:14.220 of colonization. Now, I'm not saying what happened to Native Americans wasn't absolutely terrible. 1.00

00:10:18.300 It was probably the worst thing to happen to any group in, if we're talking about like

00:10:23.260 discriminated groups in the world. But in some ways, the sort of UBI that was created for them

00:10:29.260 through things like the casino programs and stuff like that, and we've talked about this in other episodes,

00:10:33.740 did a huge amount of damage to them as well, right? So even the attempts to give them restitution

00:10:39.340 have caused them a great deal of suffering. Because as we've pointed out, right, you know,

00:10:43.500 restitution generally hurts the groups it's given to and causes a, that's a different episode.

00:10:48.460 But okay, in his mind, what's happened is America is a state that is created when European colonialists

00:10:55.500 come over here. And then you have the survivor class of people, all right? So the survivor class of

00:11:01.420 people is made up of two groups, all right? It's made up of the actual Native population, right?

00:11:07.660 Okay, yes.

00:11:09.740 And then it's made up of anyone who voluntarily immigrates to the country, who isn't white, 0.75

00:11:17.580 broadly speaking. So this would be Indians, this would be Arabs, this would be Africans, this would be 0.86

00:11:24.060 anyone like him is in this survivor group, because he would see his native environments as being

00:11:31.020 disrupted by colonialism, you know, they always blame whenever their countries go bad. And I point

00:11:37.020 out all the time, that there are lots of places where colonialism happens, and they are doing really

00:11:44.380 well these days. And there are lots of places where colonialism happened that are doing terrible these

00:11:48.220 days. And there are lots of places where colonialism never happened. And they typically do more similar

00:11:55.420 to the places with similar cultures to them, where colonialism did happen and are doing bad,

00:12:00.300 than to the places without a similar culture to them, where colonialism didn't happen. So like,

00:12:04.620 as an example of this, Ethiopia was never colonized. Ethiopia is much closer, you know, economically,

00:12:12.460 in terms of the struggles that they're facing as a country, to the culturally similar cultures that

00:12:17.820 were colonized, than it is to, let's say, Asian countries that were colonized, which are often

00:12:23.500 much more similar to each other than they are to African countries that were colonized. So the point 0.94

00:12:28.620 here, or Native American countries that were colonized, or, you know, South American countries that were

00:12:32.780 colonized. And so the point I'm making here is colonialization doesn't seem to define a country's

00:12:38.380 in-state. It appears what plays the bigger role in defining their in-state is the population that is

00:12:44.700 running that country, or the majority in that country. Yeah. And I don't necessarily mean this

00:12:49.420 from a genetic standpoint, I might mean it from a cultural standpoint, right? Where I'm saying, you know,

00:12:53.180 the colonialist outcomes across Latin America are very similar, the colonialist outcomes across

00:12:57.980 Africa are generally fairly similar, and the colonialist outcomes across Asia are pretty similar,

00:13:02.380 but they're all radically different from each other. It's not necessarily that there were different

00:13:06.540 colonial systems in those areas, because the colonial systems differed more from each other based on

00:13:13.100 which country was colonizing the country, not based on where that country was in the world, or as much.

00:13:19.820 Anyway, sorry, big tangent there. But what I'm trying to do is explain that in his worldview, he is part of

00:13:26.300 this victim class that has a mandate to take back the colonialist countries from the settlers, the whites, 1.00

00:13:39.100 basically. And this helps understand better when I was talking about like the weird ideology that Greta

00:13:44.700 Thornburg had moved into and stuff like that, right? Trying to understand what she meant when she said

00:13:50.220 colonialism is the reason for environmentalist problems, right? Or what they mean by Israel is

00:13:57.820 a colonialist state, right? It's really more like capitalistic white people? 0.95

00:14:02.940 Not exactly. So let's look at the case of Israel, right? If you're looking at Israel with, I think, 0.73

00:14:07.580 any sort of an honest historical lens, the Jews were displaced from their land by imperial systems that

00:14:15.100 made it very unpleasant to live there. So colonizers came into their country, took it over, displaced

00:14:20.860 them, and then they came back, the native people of this land, and retook the land from people who 0.99

00:14:26.780 are often provably not native populations. And I was always confused, like, how can you say that

00:14:32.140 they're the colonizers, right? Right? That seemed very, but it makes perfect sense if you go to the logic of

00:14:39.340 Mondami's father, okay? So if you go to the logic of Mondami's father, being a colonist is defined by the

00:14:47.580 idea of nationalism for your state or land, right? The Jews being having a state and a state that is 0.96

00:14:59.580 theirs to the exclusion of any random person that wants to migrate into it, right? They are the ultimate

00:15:06.300 colonists, in his mind. Now, obviously, none of this makes sense if you look anywhere else in the

00:15:12.540 world, like Asia, right? But if you're looking at it from this very narrow lens of, like, Africa,

00:15:18.060 the Middle East, Europe, and the United States and Latin America, this worldview can make sense.

00:15:23.100 But now it makes sense to you why Mondami, when he sees people out there, you know, murdering Jewish 0.50

00:15:29.340 people, or he calls for a global infatata, which he has called for. He has, okay. 1.00

00:15:35.820 Fatatas, what they were, was times in Israel's history, when people rose up, the Arabs within

00:15:45.980 Israel, or the Muslims within Israel, and started murdering Jewish people to try to take back the 0.95

00:15:51.660 state. So what's the, wait, sorry, I'm really not actually that well-versed on the term infatata. 0.86

00:15:57.020 What is the difference between an infatata and a pogrom?

00:16:01.980 There, well, okay, so this is the way they would describe the difference. I don't think that they

00:16:06.180 are actually technically that different. A pogrom, they would say, is when Jews were living in a

00:16:12.020 non-Jewish state, and the king or ruler of that state decided that they would eliminate the minority

00:16:18.760 Jewish population. Okay. Or if an infatata is when the Jewish is the majority population. 0.79

00:16:24.200 Yeah, with the Jews as a majority population, and you attempt to eliminate them. But remember, 1.00

00:16:29.020 if you hear, like, because I've been listening to more Nick Fuentes stuff recently, to try to

00:16:33.080 understand his perspective on things, and he talks about talking points that I can only guess he's

00:16:37.540 getting from people like this, about, like, global Jewry and everything like that.

00:16:41.360 Oh, you actually nailed it. Yeah.

00:16:45.300 Yeah.

00:16:46.380 So, no, but I'm really trying to understand them from their own perspective.

00:16:49.420 I just checked on AI for those not, I just checked.

00:16:52.300 Because only, you see, you see, I'm beginning to get Mondami break. I'm beginning to understand how

00:16:56.540 all of this makes sense to him.

00:16:57.620 No, no, no, no, no, no, no. The infatata versus pogrom.

00:17:00.560 Yeah, yeah, but the reason I'm able to explain this to you, even though I haven't read this,

00:17:03.360 is because I'm beginning to understand where he's coming from. And when you understand where

00:17:06.660 he's coming from, and where the people who are like him are coming from, you can understand why

00:17:11.760 I got a, before I got into pronatal with him, just, I started having kids. I remember somebody

00:17:15.720 who hated me on Facebook sent me a thing saying I was colonizing the world with my white sperm. 0.99

00:17:20.420 That's right. Yes, you were. 0.99

00:17:22.600 What are they talking about? If you have this mindset, all of a sudden it makes sense.

00:17:29.200 The very concept of the nationalist nation state and the idea of like an English identity or a French

00:17:37.500 identity or a Jewish identity or an American identity, the very reason why you can't have this, 0.83

00:17:44.280 right, is he says that we should have a globalist survivor identity. And the survivor identity,

00:17:50.160 it's anyone who was displaced by the colonialist system, i.e. anyone who migrated for economic

00:17:55.940 opportunity in one of the countries that the colonialists made economically prosperous. I mean,

00:18:01.800 it's not like he was forced to move here. He moved here because he wanted economic opportunities,

00:18:05.220 but that's not the way he reframes it. He reframes it as those economic opportunities were taken from

00:18:09.920 him because of colonialism. And therefore he has a, a right to come and take them within other

00:18:16.820 environments. But this also shows you why they're so pro-immigration and so pro-mass immigration,

00:18:21.740 right? Because they believe that the survivors have a mandate to move into these environments.

00:18:29.340 I see. Okay. Okay. Survive. Wow. Wow. What a thing.

00:18:36.400 Okay. Sorry. In this, in this kind of cool, when you see this, right? Like I, I, I, I now I'm beginning

00:18:43.020 to see where they're coming from. So we'll go further with his beliefs and his politics here. Okay.

00:18:46.800 Okay. Yeah, please. Actually, any thoughts, Simone? Does this help you understand? Do you have

00:18:51.200 any new wonder like feelings about where leftists are going when you understand this colonialist

00:18:56.420 architecture mindset? It kind of scares me. It, because it, it, it, it digs deeper into identity

00:19:04.040 politics and, and specifically establishes things as, as a function of us versus them in a way that,

00:19:11.720 that is kind of arbitrary. Well, no, but it's, it's, it's, it's actually, I think it helps people

00:19:18.380 understand better who's going to get murdered here, basically. Well, we certainly want to know

00:19:25.180 that. Because there's a lot of people who will go out there and be like, well, I'm Jewish, so I'm a

00:19:30.180 minority, right? Like my people clearly face discrimination, look at the Holocaust. And somebody

00:19:35.100 with this mindset would say, no, you're Jewish. You're actually a super white person. You're like an extra 0.97

00:19:40.760 white person because your people. Super white. Remember super straight? Right, right. No, but the 0.99

00:19:46.200 point here being is that your classification as a discriminated individual is not downstream of the

00:19:55.740 actual discrimination or trials that your people have faced. It is downstream of how economically

00:20:05.400 prosperous your people have been able to make themselves within an existing system and what

00:20:11.540 cultural background you came from. So it doesn't really matter, no matter how disabled, no matter 0.99

00:20:17.080 how trans, no matter how gay. And I think a lot of people aren't realizing this yet within this mindset.

00:20:22.840 You are never one of the survivors. Okay. The survivors are a few specific groups in their minds,

00:20:30.580 right? They are people who are the descendants of natives. So they would likely categorize all

00:20:35.600 Hispanics in this, even though this is not accurate, but it helps broaden their base. Anyone who's a

00:20:40.800 descendant of Africans and anyone who's a descendant of Middle Easterners, maybe Indians as well. And you

00:20:47.100 might be like, well, why not Asians? Like Asians underwent colonization as well. And they'd be like,

00:20:52.660 well, the Asians, because Asians don't fit their pattern of colonization, i.e. they achieved economic

00:20:59.000 prosperity after colonization. They don't count as a colonized people because the Asians then became 0.93

00:21:06.040 nationalist. I mean, look at Japan, for example, look at China, for example, and actually take pride

00:21:12.240 in their identity, not as a pan-discriminated group, but as a distinct ethnicity. They don't

00:21:18.620 get to categorize themselves who is in this survivor class. I think a lot of people are simping for this

00:21:25.080 movement here without understanding that they're on the chopping block.

00:21:31.720 Bro, literally first thing does the Elon Musk Nazi salute. He's saying the quiet part out loud. He

00:21:37.980 wants to replace you and you have to lock the schmibbles in. New York will remain a city of 1.00

00:21:45.500 immigrants. We hate white people. A city built by immigrants. We hate white people. Power by immigrants. 1.00

00:21:52.300 The opposite of white power, immigrant power, I guess. And as of tonight, led by an immigrant. 1.00

00:21:59.880 Yeah, he's basic. So it's important to keep in mind when you hear this speech and you're thinking

00:22:04.640 about what it means to him. Remember, all humans fall into one of two categories. They are either in

00:22:09.560 the survivor category, which is an immigrant class led by Muslims, or they are in the colonizer category.

00:22:16.740 The goal here in the United States is the same goal that they have within Israel. And there's a line 0.86

00:22:25.080 that they often repeat, which is to, I think it goes, I'll try to find it in post to get the exact

00:22:29.640 line. The line is, when Israel falls, the West falls. I.e., if they can eradicate Israel, then they 0.91

00:22:36.240 can eradicate the rest of the West. That's, okay. I get it. I get it. This makes perfect sense. So 0.98

00:22:43.980 let's explain what I mean here, okay? Why would somebody think this if they have this mindset,

00:22:48.100 right? Look at Europe. Has Europe been able to stand against people with these mindsets?

00:22:55.360 The answer is clearly no. It is completely captured at this point. And demographically,

00:23:01.160 it really has no hope going into the future, okay? The United States. Has the United States

00:23:07.320 been able to stand firm against this? We have stood more firm against this than Europe, 0.83

00:23:13.560 but a lot of that could just be due to geography, right? What is the only place on earth that has

00:23:21.780 been able to stand against this while standing directly adjacent to this, right? It's Israel. 0.72

00:23:28.900 Yeah, there you go. That's true. And not just is it Israel. Think about it from their perspective,

00:23:34.860 right? I am a radicalized terrorist Islamist, and I am in one of these countries around Israel,

00:23:41.880 right? Now, I have been, I have dedicated myself to this global infantata mindset. Eventually, 0.91

00:23:48.800 everyone needs to be under Sharia law. Okay. Now, I go and I say, I'm going to give up my life to bomb 1.00

00:23:56.340 something, to attack something, to kill someone. Why on earth am I going to go halfway across the 0.99

00:24:02.160 world to the United States or to Canada, or to a country that's already basically falling, like

00:24:08.100 Germany or something like that, when Israel's right on my doorstep and is a much more like big flag 0.89

00:24:15.860 in terms of, like, my people, right? When Israel falls, all of the people who are now attacking 0.70

00:24:23.100 Israel, all of the people who get radicalized and are drawn to it like a magnet right now,

00:24:27.700 think of it like the moon. You know how the moon, like, pulls in asteroids before they hit the earth,

00:24:31.880 and we would be hit with so many more asteroids if the moon wasn't orbiting us? That's what Israel is 1.00

00:24:36.740 for radicalized individuals with this mindset. It pulls in the terrorists like a bug zapper. And then

00:24:45.460 they deal with it in a way that is useful to us. But I think that we in the United States, or even

00:24:52.360 within Europe, don't realize how much of, like, the people who get radicalized in these environments,

00:25:00.020 when Israel's gone, they're still getting radicalized. But they're now going for a much 0.50

00:25:04.260 wider distribution of targets in a way where I just don't think a lot of these other countries

00:25:11.080 or institutions would be able to stand on their own very well. Hmm. Huh. Fascinating.

00:25:18.780 It is fascinating, because so much makes sense to me. This is why Greta Thornburg, because this is

00:25:24.000 her mindset as well. Like, a lot of her words have seemed weird to me. Why? Yeah, that doesn't make any

00:25:28.860 sense. Like, what does... Yeah, why does she hear there's a genocide that was literally twice as big

00:25:34.260 happening in... Where was it again? The DRC? Darfur. Darfur, yeah. And she didn't say a thing about it. She

00:25:42.180 didn't do a thing about it. Yeah, because it's totally unmoored from this. It's unmoored from

00:25:47.100 this. In that case, it was Muslims killing Blacks for being Black. That is irrelevant. That undermines 1.00

00:25:52.880 the survivor narrative, because it's two survivor populations killing each other.

00:25:57.500 Yeah, so they kill each other out in the equation. So it's not germane to this. Yes. Yes. Okay.

00:26:05.640 So he spent his early years at Kampala until five, and then the family moved to Cape Town,

00:26:10.840 South Africa, as father's teaching position at the University of Cape Town. There he attended St.

00:26:14.900 George's Grammar School. At seven, they relocated to New York City's Morningside Heights neighborhood.

00:26:19.020 He grew up in a relatively privileged environment. He's described it as one where he never

00:26:22.800 had to want for something, but he was conscious of the broader inequalities. In 2003, during his

00:26:28.000 father's sabbatical, he returned to Kampala for a year attending school with support from the extended

00:26:32.520 family. Back in NYC, he played soccer for the local leagues and co-founded a cricket team for his

00:26:38.220 high school, and even ran unsuccessfully for student body vice president. Now, the next thing I want to

00:26:45.160 get into is his rap career, because I think that this has been fairly and unfairly maligned. If you

00:26:52.160 actually look at his rap videos, they're, you know, they're cute, right? Like he'll do a rap video

00:26:57.160 about like his grandmother or something like that, right? And I think they think that was the most

00:27:00.720 viral one that he did. And it's about like his, his grandmother working at like a Chinese like 0.98

00:27:06.820 grocery store or something like that.

00:27:15.820 Right. Um, goes viral, cute, whatever. But he's had some lines in his songs that might help you understand

00:27:32.980 what I mean when I talk about like what his actual long-term agenda is. Okay. Okay. So in the 2017

00:27:39.260 track, Salaam, described by Mandami as a song about growing up in New York, he raps, my love to the

00:27:47.060 Holy Land Five, you better look him up. The Holy Land Five were leaders of the Holy Land Foundation

00:27:53.120 convicted in 2008 for funneling $12 million to Hamas. You know, that Hamas.

00:27:59.980 No, the other Hamas. Come on. The one that saves puppies. 0.99

00:28:07.740 You know, women and children in tunnels, graping them to death. That Hamas. Okay. They faced charges

00:28:13.460 of supporting terrorism, money laundering, and tax fraud, and were sentenced up to 65 years.

00:28:19.860 He's a fan.

00:28:21.420 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So he's, he's a, a, a big fan of that. The song also included lines like

00:28:28.360 no ban, no wall, build it up. We'll make it fall. So again, remember I said the goal of these people

00:28:34.040 is as many survivors into the country as possible. This is also why they freaked out when we began to

00:28:42.220 get white refugees from South Africa and eight organizations that had been working for like 17

00:28:47.300 years, shut themselves down rather than serve just 40 white South Africans. And we have an episode

00:28:53.680 about that. So it really shows it was not about people in dangerous situations. It was not even

00:28:59.720 about like, we'll hold our, our nose and help some disadvantaged white people. You know, when it

00:29:05.600 comes to that, it is, no, we are explicitly an anti-white organization. By the way, you know,

00:29:10.160 two of the organizations that did this, by the way, if you're counting up, who's our list of enemies?

00:29:15.900 Okay. One was the Catholic charity for bringing over immigrants. The other was the Episcopal charity

00:29:22.820 for bringing over immigrants. Oh, the Episcopal one. With the Catholic one, it wasn't as obvious 0.91

00:29:28.020 because they might've closed down for other reasons. With the Episcopal one, it was very clear that

00:29:31.700 that's why they shut down. Really? This is why I'm very suspicious of high, high church organizations,

00:29:36.580 right? Specifically here in May, 2025, the Episcopal church announced it would terminate its nearly 40

00:29:43.120 year partnership with the U S government for refugee resettlement through the Episcopal migration

00:29:47.260 ministry services, rather than comply with the Trump administration directive to help white people.

00:29:52.840 And then in terms of the Catholic church, the U S conference of Catholic bishops, the U S CCB ended

00:30:00.660 its national refugee resettlement program in April, 2025. However, this could be argued that they did this

00:30:08.020 because of the administration cancellation of grants instead of the Afrikaners.

00:30:13.120 So it's, it's more iffy there, but it's very explicit with the Episcopal church.

00:30:18.140 It is just wild to me that they would cancel a 40 year program just to not help some, I think it was

00:30:24.160 like 45 white people. And I think that people need to be really aware. And this is why I've been

00:30:30.040 hitting on this so hard recently is this, well, they're Christians, therefore they're on our side

00:30:35.740 is a very bad way to look at, look at things because there are many large Christian organizations 1.00

00:30:42.560 that are dedicated to your eradication, even if they don't understand that that is the result of

00:30:51.000 the ideology that their masters are writing for them. Side note though, it's not just many Christian 0.91

00:30:56.300 organizations. There are also Jewish organizations, which we will get to in a bit, but it's important

00:31:01.400 to understand that just because a group is Christian or Jewish does not mean that they are on your side.

00:31:06.680 But there are a few people on earth who serve the goal of this agenda more thoroughly than individuals

00:31:13.560 like Nick Fuentes, who is trying to paint the two sides that should be natural allies against each other,

00:31:20.960 and then side with regularly the side, the survivor class. Now, a lot of them become institutionally

00:31:28.780 captured without realizing at the lower levels or even at the upper levels that the bureaucratic level

00:31:35.500 has this level of capture, right? Okay. So glorification of violence and gun hypocrisy. In 2016 video,

00:31:44.740 Wabala Nawe, set during the 1981 Uganda Bush War in the Levero Triangle, Mondami, as young Cardomom,

00:31:56.040 appears in military fatigues, brandishing a handgun amid a scene of gunfiring militants shooting from

00:32:02.700 trucks and point-blank execution. Lyrics include violent threats, like I'll finish you like food on a plate.

00:32:10.280 You are about to run like a chicken. You'll pray for death. This has been contrasted with his claiming 0.99

00:32:20.240 anti-gun stance. Hold on. I want to hear about this conflict. Who versus who was this?

00:32:29.780 But I want to make it clear, you know, he is open to, like, well, he might say, oh, I'm anti-gun,

00:32:35.020 anti-whatever. It's very clear that he feels that when groups that he identifies as a survivor class

00:32:43.300 gain enough power within an environment, it is now okay to glorify the execution of civilians and stuff

00:32:51.800 like that. And this is something that, you know, he has glazed Hamas before. He has glazed terrorists 0.90

00:32:58.420 before. This is not a one-off thing. Well, no, glazed supporters of Hamas, to be specific here.

00:33:06.120 Well, he's never condemned anything that Hamas has done except the explicit events of October 7th. 0.51

00:33:12.680 Well, that's surprising. It just seems to have been black-on-black violence in Africa.

00:33:19.400 Well, that's surprising?

00:33:21.020 Well, I mean, that's not surprising. I'm surprising that he would-

00:33:24.740 That's why blood is seen from Google Earth now or whatever, right?

00:33:29.140 No, but what I'm saying is that I'm surprised that he would take so much glee in the executions

00:33:34.060 of what are presumably other survivors. I guess it's just any group that's resisting is allowed

00:33:39.860 to use violence however they want in his mind, regardless of who they're attacking. But anyway,

00:33:44.680 so he entered into politics under a group called the Democratic Socialists of America, the DSA.

00:33:52.080 Now, they have been increasingly taking over the Democratic Party. You know, they've got like

00:33:57.340 AOC in their camp. They've got Bernie in their camp. That's where they really began to grow.

00:34:01.660 And they have a fairly explicit socialist agenda, which we'll get to in a second. But right now,

00:34:08.500 I want to focus more on the Infantata stuff, right? 0.96

00:34:11.900 Yes. I'm very curious to learn more about that.

00:34:14.680 So during a 2025 interview, so recently, this isn't like something he said when he was a kid,

00:34:18.880 he defended the phrase globalizing Infantata as symbolizing a desperate desire for equality

00:34:24.920 and equal rights standing for Palestinian human rights. Now, the thing is, is that is not what it

00:34:32.120 means, right? Like in context. I feel like if we're looking at this in a very divorced,

00:34:37.540 non-ideological way, the best way to maximize Palestinian rights is to get rid of the entire 1.00

00:34:42.620 Palestinian government and have Israel run everything. 0.63

00:34:45.660 Absolutely.

00:34:46.820 They're going to get good infrastructure, good social services. It would be great. I mean,

00:34:52.560 I think all of us really want, in fact, this is a common criticism made by people who really don't

00:34:57.620 like the money that we're giving to Israel. It's like, well, what's this? Like, you know,

00:35:00.820 Israel has all these great social services, gets free IVF, and we're giving them money for weapons. 1.00

00:35:05.940 What's up with this? And it's like, yeah, wouldn't it be great then if Israel at least 0.99

00:35:09.920 extended all of these wonderful services to Palestine? Oh, well, guess what? If we just get

00:35:15.460 rid of Palestine and make all of it Israel, we can. Like, wouldn't that be nice? 1.00

00:35:19.020 Yeah, well, also keep in mind that within Israel, you know, Arabs have a very good life within Israel.

00:35:25.340 As a, I guess, are you a Muslim? I'm a Muslim, yeah.

00:35:28.300 What's it like living in Jerusalem as a Muslim? It's a holy place.

00:35:31.060 It's a holy place? Yeah.

00:35:32.720 It's okay. No problem.

00:35:34.220 No problem.

00:35:35.000 No problem.

00:35:35.860 As a Muslim living in Israel, what's it like?

00:35:40.060 Good. It's good.

00:35:41.340 Yes.

00:35:41.620 So you as a Muslim, growing up here, we're in the Muslim quarter. Have you faced discrimination,

00:35:49.380 unfair treatment, or...?

00:35:50.980 No, no. I don't feel nothing. I feel safe.

00:35:54.680 Israel left Gaza in 2005, meaning in 2005 there was no Jew alive or dead in Gaza. They even took 0.54

00:36:02.280 the graves with them. It was ethnical cleansing of the Jews. Thousands of families forcefully

00:36:07.380 uprooted from Gaza. And it was a test case for self-governing Gaza. Here, Gaza, we give

00:36:14.080 you the keys to the greenhouses. We're leaving everything. You're free. Become a state. And

00:36:19.160 the sentiment in Israel during that time, I remember it because I was 15 back then, was

00:36:23.740 a lot of hope that now Gaza is going to become the Singapore of the Middle East. And we were 0.99

00:36:28.180 talking about the high-rises buildings that you saw that Gaza has. But what actually happened

00:36:34.280 is that Hamas burned all the greenhouses, not giving the Palestinians the opportunity of economic

00:36:41.280 prosperity. And then they got elected a few months later in democratic elections to become

00:36:48.120 the sovereign government of Gaza. And once they got elected, they killed everyone who didn't agree

00:36:54.160 with them. It is, even when contrasted, the Arab settlements I saw in Israel, even when contrasted 0.99

00:37:01.500 with the ones I saw in the UAE outside of major cities, were nicer and wealthier, which is absolutely

00:37:07.840 wild to me. I think that there are very few places on earth where Arab majority populations 0.99

00:37:12.700 live that well. And so, you know, I think you might be onto something with that, but that's a whole

00:37:16.880 other thing. Nobody's going to go for that because that's not really the point of the fight.

00:37:19.780 The reason why nobody cheered when the war ended was because they wanted the war to keep going,

00:37:25.580 right? Like all these college protesters and stuff like that. I saw no parades when the war ended,

00:37:30.240 right? Because that wasn't the goal. The goal was not ending the genocide as they claimed. It was

00:37:36.540 a separate goal altogether. And we know what that was, right? But I'll note here, when he talks about a,

00:37:43.240 you know, desire for equality and equal rights, clearly he's just like washing this out here.

00:37:48.980 Because if you look what the term infatata is typically used to talk about is the 1987 to

00:37:54.360 1993 infatata. This was the major Palestinian uprising against Israeli occupation in the

00:37:58.800 West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem. It began spontaneously after a traffic accident in Gaza,

00:38:05.420 but grew to widespread protests, strikes, boycotts, and clashes. Palestinians used stones,

00:38:10.420 Molotov cocktails, and barricades. While Israeli forces responded, there was a thousand Palestinian

00:38:16.360 deaths and a hundred Israeli deaths. So again, like, I don't even know why you'd, 1.00

00:38:20.440 basically it was a huge uprising attempting to take back the state and they just got curb stomped for

00:38:26.080 it. The second time it happened was the, the Osaka infatata 2000 to 2005, sparked by Ariel

00:38:33.940 Sharon's visit to the Osaka mosque compound. This one was more violent and had more suicide bombings

00:38:39.000 and shootings. It had around 3000 Palestinians died and around a thousand Israelis died. And keep in

00:38:44.740 mind, this is like a peaceful state. Like this is not a state where people are facing like overwhelming,

00:38:48.900 you know, discrimination or anything like that. It is one of the usually better places they can live

00:38:56.100 given their demographic background. Now he has, obviously he's said that Israel, he's called Israel's

00:39:03.920 occupation of Gaza a genocide. And he, it says it's a system of hierarchy based on race and religion.

00:39:11.960 That's the way he described the Jewish state. And he wants an eradication of the Jewish state. 0.96

00:39:18.840 Now, if you look at, on the Baraj Massad demolition of BGP's role, he posted on X about the 1992

00:39:27.800 demolition stating, this is the photo of the Baradi Majari in 1992 is destroyed in a riot instigated by

00:39:35.500 the BGP, now India's ruling party. On Sunday, Hindu nationalists wanted to celebrate the atrocity 0.65

00:39:41.220 in NYC. Will Mayor Adams let them? He accused the BGB of instigating violence and opposed celebrations

00:39:48.400 in NYC. So note here, he is fighting not just, we're basically wherever Muslims have in any way

00:39:55.900 been wronged. He considers this like a major issue for him. Mondami called Modi a war criminal who,

00:40:03.060 quote, helped to orchestrate the mass slaughter of Muslims in Gujarat during the 2022 riots.

00:40:08.680 Gujarat?

00:40:09.600 Gujarat, yes. He falsely claimed Muslims were eradicated in Gujarat during the 2002 riots,

00:40:15.320 exaggerating the events. So, you know, he's, he's going out there. This isn't just in our country,

00:40:20.240 right? Like he wants, if you're like, what does he want to happen in India, right? Clearly there is a

00:40:26.800 group in India that he wants controlling the country. And it's not the group that's controlling the

00:40:30.780 country right now. That is, that seems to be fairly clear who he would categorize as genocidal

00:40:36.740 for doing things like putting down riots, right? Now let's talk about the, the, this,

00:40:43.980 what's the organization called? The Democratic Socialists of America, the DSA.

00:40:47.340 Ah, yes. Okay. Yes.

00:40:49.340 So obviously they're super, super pro-Palestine. They're super, super big into this armed struggle

00:40:54.640 and decolonization. Which is so odd because it's like not, when I hear that, I think, okay,

00:41:01.820 well, this is about socialism. We're going to talk about economic policy. We're going to talk

00:41:05.380 about industrial policy. And even when I heard him talking in an interview about his, what socialism

00:41:11.640 is to him, he says it's about human dignity. And it's, it's about the, that human dignity shouldn't

00:41:21.240 be up to like private corporations. So when it comes to things like.

00:41:26.000 Right. Yeah. So let's talk about what socialism is to the organization he's a part of. Okay. So if we go

00:41:30.620 to their official website, we get, we want to collectively own the key economic drivers that

00:41:35.960 dominate our lives. Right. Such as energy production and transportation. No, but he also

00:41:42.400 said that internet and childcare. Yes. Well, these are his things. I'm talking about what the party

00:41:47.420 wants. So he's trying to make like transportation free, which everyone has said, this is a very bad

00:41:52.100 thing. Like when you make buses free, what she wants to do, they typically become basically moving

00:41:56.640 homeless shelters. And you do see this. Anyone who's ever lived in a city where these, these types of

00:42:01.080 amenities are free, they become incredibly dangerous. You know, even when they aren't free in New

00:42:05.820 York, you get stabbings, you get, yeah, very dangerous places. It is obviously going to put

00:42:12.580 the citizens of New York at, at risk, even often the, the homeless individuals who are using it in

00:42:18.640 this way, because it's, it doesn't have the protection or the security of a normal homeless

00:42:22.500 shelter because it's not designed for that. Right. And so it's a very easy place for anybody who wants

00:42:27.940 to abuse the system to operate from. Right. Unless, you know, you put a cop on every bus or something

00:42:33.860 like that. And certainly he doesn't want to do that. But also if you look at the wider thing here,

00:42:38.220 you see him beginning to implement these plans, but what happens when we socialize energy? You know,

00:42:43.420 what happens when we socialize the internet? Now they have control over everything you're seeing

00:42:46.660 and doing. They can shut down energy whenever they want to districts, which we've seen in these,

00:42:52.240 in these sorts of, you know, communist states. And in addition to that, it always just ends up

00:42:56.940 crashing out. I mean, look at Venezuela, right? Venezuela was the model of how you were supposed to do 0.94

00:43:02.700 socialism in the minds of groups like this until everything fell apart. Right. Yeah. The problem

00:43:10.180 is, is you used to be able to be like, well, no one's doing so communism, right? People would be

00:43:14.780 like, well, Venezuela is right. And then when it fell apart, it's like, oh, well, again, communism works

00:43:19.700 really well when you have like unlimited resources, which in various instances for short periods of

00:43:26.240 time, it feels like that. And it quote unquote works for a while, but no. Yeah. So to go forward with

00:43:31.300 what they have to say about themselves, socialists therefore argue that private corporate property

00:43:35.080 is not only wrong, but also nonsensical. Wealth is a social creation and should be democratically

00:43:41.260 administered. So this would mean essentially communism, right? If you're removing the concept

00:43:47.320 of private corporations and investing in private corporations and them having wealth,

00:43:51.460 then the only way you can get large scale projects like, you know, silicon fabs and stuff like

00:43:57.080 that, that you need for cell phones and all the things that I'm sure even these people want in their

00:44:00.700 lives is if the state manages it all. You can't, you can't have, you know, anarcho-capitalism and,

00:44:06.960 or anarcho-communism and anything that looks like modern technology that really only works with an

00:44:12.540 agrarian society because these fabs require tens of billions of dollars of investment. You can't get 1.00

00:44:17.780 tens of billions of dollars by getting all the workers to like pool their money or something.

00:44:22.620 Yeah. They're not going to do it. Yeah. You either need to incentivize a very well-resourced person

00:44:27.720 to do it by allowing them to, to make money from it, or you need the government to pay for it

00:44:33.240 somehow. But the moment that you have centralized power in that way under the state, you have now

00:44:38.300 created the end state of the most horrifying libertarian system, which is a single company

00:44:43.860 that controls everything. You are basically living on a, in a company city, you know, that they used to

00:44:50.580 have where like the, the coal mine would own everything, right? Like that's the situation

00:44:56.160 you're living under when you are in a state that owns all of the resources and directs all of the

00:45:01.420 resources. So it's not just from an inefficiency perspective. It's even horrifying often from the

00:45:06.500 very perspective of the people who are fighting for it. When you point out that they have just described

00:45:11.820 a company, one company running everything, right? So on housing, they say social housing must expropriate 0.52

00:45:22.460 property from capitalists and deliver it to the working class through which it may be sustained

00:45:27.640 and rejuvenated. So what they, they believe that under this system, no individual can own multiple

00:45:33.840 homes or profit from another's needs for shelter. Housing is permanently removed from the circuit of

00:45:39.960 capital. This obviously has really, really bad effects on living quality within a region. We've

00:45:46.300 talked about this before, but when you, I've talked about this within the concept of monogamy and why

00:45:51.500 monogamy is beneficial, which is to say, when you don't own your house, you have no reason to invest in

00:45:57.980 your house or your property, right? And this is why if you go to many communist countries, you will see

00:46:04.520 the single households that often would be pretty nice for these communist countries, just

00:46:09.520 completely deteriorating in a complete state of like, they look like trailer parks, all of them

00:46:14.700 do. And if you go through a suburban neighborhood in America, everything looks pristine and nice.

00:46:20.620 And that's because these people have no reason to invest in their property. It could just be assigned

00:46:25.420 to anyone else at any day, but in the United States, you, you're keeping up the property so that

00:46:30.220 you can sell it in the future, right? So you intrinsically have a motivation to continue to invest in

00:46:34.260 it. I compared this to monogamy because I was like, well, this is what it means to be within a

00:46:37.060 monogamous relationship. So you can sell your wife eventually. 1.00

00:46:41.200 Yes. Now to talk about Mondami, he wants to raise the corporate tax rate from 7.25% to 11.5%

00:46:48.720 matching New Jersey's. And he also wants to impose a flat 2% tax on incomes over 1 million.

00:46:55.360 The, you know, you can point out that, you know, the top 1% of NYC is 40% of the tax revenue.

00:47:01.240 And we are already seeing a spike in housing prices in Connecticut from people trying to get

00:47:05.740 out of there. But historically, and there's been a lot of studies on this raising taxes in like the

00:47:13.400 2.6 range doesn't tend to cause mass exoduses of wealthy individuals. Right. Interesting.

00:47:21.100 So that's not something we have to worry about as much. The bigger problem for him is probably what

00:47:26.700 he wants to do in terms of expanding rent control, because this has very negative effects. If you

00:47:32.260 look at the studies, expanding rent control and rent restrictions almost always actually increases

00:47:38.420 the price to renters in the longterm. Well, and rent control is already a huge problem in

00:47:42.520 New York city because it causes, it can be inherited. I think a lot of people don't realize that,

00:47:48.940 that it can be passed down from generation to generation, meaning that you have intergenerational

00:47:55.200 wealth essentially being entrenched. Like it's very against what I would consider to be a more

00:48:00.080 leftist view, right? That we don't want people to inherit privilege and wealth. And yet you have

00:48:05.540 exactly that in New York city because of rent control. You have people who are benefiting from

00:48:11.200 their grandparents, sometimes even their great grandparents buying or getting a rent controlled

00:48:17.460 apartment from ages ago next to central park and just passing it down and down, meaning that people

00:48:23.120 are holding on to these apartments because they've become these intergenerational assets,

00:48:27.000 even when they don't need them, even when they primarily are living in other areas and not even

00:48:31.640 really using them. So now what happens is you move out of New York and you're keeping this apartment,

00:48:35.060 right? Yeah. And so you're holding up this inventory. And actually one of our listeners sent to me

00:48:40.640 a tweet showing the proportion of different types of New Yorkers that support Mom Donnie.

00:48:47.160 And the biggest proportion of people that support him in terms of duration living in New York are

00:48:52.580 people who lived in New York for the least amount of time. So those who've lived in New York or were

00:48:56.960 born in New York are the least likely to support Mom Donnie. And those who've lived in New York five

00:49:02.560 years or fewer are the most likely to support him. I think part of that's because he keeps promising,

00:49:07.840 I'm going to make it easier for you to get housing here. Little do they know that no,

00:49:12.700 his policies aren't going to make it easier to get housing. These policies, you need more supply.

00:49:16.700 The only way you get more supply is by removing rent control. Yeah. Another problem with rent

00:49:21.260 control too is absolutely there's a lot of apartments in New York City that are not currently

00:49:26.880 being rented because they're not up to code. Why are they not up to code? Because the fixes needed to

00:49:31.640 repair the apartments and make them up to code to make them legally rentable again are more expensive

00:49:38.180 than what the landlord, the property owner would be able to get in rent. So they would lose money

00:49:44.780 doing anything to these apartments because they're never going to be able to get rent at a level that

00:49:48.920 will pay for the costs of maintaining these apartments. So again, this is only going to

00:49:53.920 exacerbate the problem, but yeah, carry on. So the other really big change that he wants to do

00:50:01.440 is, well, the free childcare, which I'm actually, okay, New York has incredibly expensive childcare and I

00:50:05.880 really don't know how they're supposed to fix this. So if New Yorkers are subsidizing childcare for other

00:50:09.840 New Yorkers, that's fine. The next one is raised minimum wage, $30 an hour. We're right now at 16.50

00:50:17.280 an hour. Wow. That's a big jump. Yeah. That's going to have a big economic effect on what people are

00:50:24.020 going to shut down. It's already, I think half or 40% at least of the pharmacies in New York City have

00:50:33.520 closed down largely because of theft in the ones that remain, which are largely locked up. You have

00:50:39.560 to ask someone to help you get some, like a soda out of a locked fridge, for example, even when we

00:50:46.720 were there trying to do this a while ago on, on one trip, maybe two years ago, we had to wait forever

00:50:53.040 to get someone to come out. Imagine if they double the cost of employees, it's going to be even worse. 0.98

00:50:58.900 There's going to be like one person in every pharmacy staffing them. Like, I don't know,

00:51:03.900 like, are we going to bring back automats or something with just, I mean, there are all these

00:51:07.760 now automated. That'd be really interesting if they did bring back automats. There have been some like

00:51:12.320 pilot versions of automats coming back. I really like automats. So I think people who don't know

00:51:16.500 what an automat is, it's this old system where you would go and you would pay. And then like,

00:51:21.440 there were a bunch of cubbies and one of them would like unlock and your, your meal would be in the

00:51:25.760 cubby. Yeah. It'd be like a sandwich in the cubby or some meatloaf in the cubby and you'd just open

00:51:29.360 it up and there it is. So it's like a vending machine, but for fully prepared meals, there is

00:51:34.460 a kitchen behind the automat with people, but like, I think in a world in which crime and theft are

00:51:39.640 higher, people paying to get food out of unlocked things, you know, no table service, et cetera. Like

00:51:44.920 also it would make so much more sense in terms of the food delivery world where, you know, if you are

00:51:49.740 Uber eats, if you are delivery or whatever, just being able to ride up on your bike and pick the thing out of

00:51:54.760 the window for the person makes a lot of sense. So, but yeah, I mean, it is, it is going to

00:51:59.220 fundamentally change what New York looks like. I'm all, you know, like in the end, I think that,

00:52:04.480 that where conservatives land on mom, Donnie is, I really like that. He's going to disrupt things

00:52:14.340 and probably prove the point that what he's proposing, proposing doesn't work. What I'm seeing

00:52:20.540 from my friends on the left, because most of my childhood friends, for example, very still

00:52:25.220 quite progressive. They really, mom, Donnie is very akin to what Trump was in 2016, which

00:52:31.560 is, I don't think he has all the answers. I don't really know if he's going to make anything

00:52:36.220 better really, actually, but I do think he's going to cause a lot of disruption and he's

00:52:40.360 going to break a system that I hate. And what could possibly make the system worse? They

00:52:44.600 think. So I think that everyone, they know, little do they know how bad, but with a weird

00:52:50.880 thing is that in the end, both the right and the left are kind of like, yeah, this dude's

00:52:54.900 going to break stuff. And it just happens to be from slightly different perspectives where

00:52:59.220 from one side, it's, he's going to break stuff and I fricking hate it. So at least he's breaking

00:53:03.040 things. And the, on the other side, he's going to break stuff and then you'll see how stupid 1.00

00:53:07.480 you all are. Right. So like everyone kind of gets what they want by his being elected. 1.00

00:53:11.300 So it's, it's a good day. It's a good day to be an American.

00:53:14.740 Well, I mean, I, I do want to see and report on a New York deterioration after this, because

00:53:19.800 I think that, you know, this is how we can fight this sort of growth within the leftist

00:53:24.580 movement. And we're going to need to, but I suspect it's from this fraction that the

00:53:28.840 next presidential candidate is going to come from on the left.

00:53:31.280 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, especially if we're looking at this last primary, it's very

00:53:35.880 worried about that. Now, if you want to know about the Hasidic community that supported 1.00

00:53:39.080 him, this was Satmar Hasidic community, the Abrahim faction. So they're led by Rabbi Aaron

00:53:45.920 Tatelebaum and Rabbi Moshi Indigi in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. They endorsed Wendami just days before

00:53:54.480 the election. The Satmar, one of the largest Haridi ultra-Orthodox communities with over

00:53:58.500 57,000 members in Williamsburg alone, is known for its anti-Zionist ideology. They opposed the

00:54:04.400 state of Israel on religious grounds, believing it should not exist before the arrival of

00:54:09.260 the Messiah, and criticized its secular nature and military draft.

00:54:13.180 So they're those Jews. Okay. 0.96

00:54:15.180 They're those Jews. Yeah. 0.99

00:54:16.100 Okay. Okay. Makes sense.

00:54:17.900 And they worked with him in exchange for protecting yeshivas, these are Jewish religious schools,

00:54:23.500 from secular scrutiny of education. And I can see him being okay with that, because he just

00:54:28.060 doesn't care, you know?

00:54:28.920 Yeah. Yeah. Like, yeah. Power to the people.

00:54:31.420 Well, no. Power to the anti-Zionist Jews. 0.99

00:54:33.100 Well, yeah. Those. The only people. 0.97

00:54:35.320 No people. But I'd remind you.

00:54:37.260 No one else is human, Malcolm.

00:54:38.920 What's important to remember in all of this is, from their perspective, this survivor versus

00:54:44.740 colonizer thing, the reason they're using the term colonizer is so that you don't really

00:54:50.700 get that they're talking about you. They specifically mean white people, Asian people, and what they

00:54:58.360 would see as black collaborators, which are non-Muslim blacks often. So that is why they do not care. 1.00

00:55:04.740 That is why he is willing to celebrate the extrajudicial execution of black people in Africa. 0.99

00:55:10.520 That is why they don't care that there was a genocide happening twice as large as the one in Gaza, if you consider that a genocide, when it was Arabs killing black people. 0.98

00:55:19.180 So this is really a movement. And I think that, you know, Mandami shows this, Hassan shows this, where Muslims are at the top.

00:55:29.880 And it is about an Islamic agenda at the end of the day. And I, and that's really surprised me. When somebody starts talking about the colonizer, colonizer stuff, they are talking about a larger Muslim agenda.

00:55:45.160 And, and, and, and they may not realize it. Like they may not realize that that's what this is all down, down stream from, but I hadn't fully realized that before. I thought that that was more of a conspiracy.

00:55:57.880 And I think it shows us why, you know, especially with this quote unquote civil war on the right now, I'm now more convinced than ever that the replatforming of Nick Fuentes on things like news articles and Tucker Carlson is probably tied to the CIA.

00:56:10.780 Just because there's so much evidence of Tucker Carlson being tied to the CIA at this point. And it does seem very weird when you consider that like Nick Fuentes' fan base actually isn't that large, you know, considering the amount of, and the issues that he's covering actually aren't that important.

00:56:29.080 But I think that as the left becomes more actively anti-Semitic in their goals, they need to find a way to paint the right. It's still having a degree of anti-Semitism within it. And Nick Fuentes is the perfect person to do that for them.

00:56:42.580 So you're saying the CIA is orchestrating this, but the CIA is orchestrating this as an, an entity that is antagonistic toward the Trump administration and the new rights goals?

00:56:52.500 Well, we have, we have leaks from the CIA saying that they would do anything to keep the Trump administration from winning the election, right?

00:56:57.980 Okay. Yeah. Okay.

00:57:00.300 We do know that there are people within the CIA who have these sentiments. We also know about the bot farm the CIA had that was making up like a huge portion of Reddit.

00:57:09.480 You can go to our video on that. That was coming out of like a CIA PSYOP thing. And it was mostly super woke stuff that they were posting.

00:57:17.340 And so I think that there is a faction within some of these government organizations that see their goal as solidifying control of the urban monoculture. And they see the way that they would see it is Trump is a dangerous nationalist that is getting a lot of their friends fired right now.

00:57:38.340 So let's stop him, right? Like he's a direct threat to their jobs and stuff like that, right? Let's stop him.

00:57:44.600 So they see anything that breaks up the new right coalition as beneficial in attempting that.

00:57:51.680 And I think that the best way to do that is to say it is okay.

00:57:56.060 It is really wrong what was done to Nick Fuentes to try to keep him from talking about Jews, about Israel aid, about anything like that.

00:58:04.380 But to also understand that Nick Fuentes' faction is in the wrong overall and is one of the things that we need to address because they are being used.

00:58:15.500 And even Nick Fuentes recognizes this. He said his primary enemy was conservatives.

00:58:19.240 That they are being used to destroy the new conservative movement.

00:58:23.080 Okay. Fascinating.

00:58:25.900 But keep in mind what it means, the destruction of the new conservative movement.

00:58:29.560 It means the survivors win and get to execute their will, which you hear about in Mondami and his rap songs.

00:58:38.220 We're in for a wild ride. Thank you for bringing me up to speed on all this.

00:58:42.780 There we go.

00:58:44.920 Okay.

00:58:45.520 Not that great.

00:58:46.720 Yeah, but people agreed, really enjoyed.

00:58:50.080 Some people suggested we do an episode on mate blocking in general, which, I mean, we talk about it a lot.

00:58:58.620 I would have to figure out how to make, like, put an interesting angle on it.

00:59:03.120 But I could maybe do that.

00:59:04.440 I think it'd be fun to talk about mate blocking.

00:59:07.320 Well, okay.

00:59:08.020 Here's a bigger question about mate blocking. 0.87

00:59:09.080 What I would do in terms of an episode on mate blocking is, is mate blocking done intentionally or subconsciously?

00:59:20.900 Because a lot of the times, you know, we'll be like, oh, women are tearing other women down. 1.00

00:59:25.040 But, you know, are they, are they, do they mean to do it, right?

00:59:27.520 Like, is it, are they telling the fat woman, you know, you look beautiful because they know that it will hurt her chances of getting a partner?

00:59:34.520 Or is there some sort of subconscious play going on?

00:59:37.720 And I guess this would cause you to, like, soul search and stuff in terms of if you ever did this.

00:59:44.720 Yeah, that's interesting.

00:59:46.200 I mean, I feel like I've engaged in what amounts to mate blocking behavior without ever intending it because I didn't want to block anyone because I didn't want to mate.

00:59:56.440 So I, my, I would lean toward the, this isn't a thing camp.

01:00:04.680 But I imagine that there are women who actively engage in mate blocking because they want mates. 1.00

01:00:11.480 We haven't, we haven't discussed it yet, but the Catholics versus Jews episode.

01:00:14.920 We got angry comments from both sides.

01:00:17.180 Like a lot of Jews thought it was anti-Semitic and a lot of Catholics thought it was anti-Catholic.

01:00:20.580 So that makes me feel like we probably did a fairly good job of, obviously, whenever you hear something and it's critical of your side, to some extent, you're going to feel like it was, you know, just an attack on your side.

01:00:33.580 But yeah, a lot of angry Jews and some angry Catholics. 1.00

01:00:37.400 No, a lot more angry Catholics than angry. 0.99

01:00:39.160 More angry Catholics. 1.00

01:00:39.960 Yeah.

01:00:40.280 Well, not, I mean, people pointed out entirely valid things.

01:00:45.100 Like Catholicism is not as necessarily as anti-capitalist as you would argue.

01:00:55.680 There's, there's a lot of nuance to all of these things.

01:00:58.420 A lot of, a lot of different histories.

01:01:00.600 The Catholic church is, is not a monolith, blah, blah, blah.

01:01:03.040 So there's, yeah, anyway.

01:01:04.180 Yeah.

01:01:04.440 We don't have to get into that.

01:01:05.780 Well, no, one interesting thing about it that came up in the comments is that, like, why Protestants are often culturally closer to Jewish people than they are to Catholics.

01:01:15.580 Well, some people have argued that Catholics are closer to Jews than Protestants are.

01:01:35.040 Well, I mean, yeah.

01:01:35.640 And again, it really depends on the, the dimension that you're, you're looking at.
