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.
00:00:19.980
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
00:00:41.700
up New York, you know, typical lefty nonsense, bunch of dumb policies. But I never really took
00:00:47.980
the time to understand where he was, what he came from, what he stands for in terms of how
00:00:58.500
Will the brain bug reveal? Federal scientists are working around the clock to probe its secrets.
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
00:02:07.140
I know, man. Yeah. Who has bladder control problems and good predictive powers? This lady!
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.
00:03:41.840
Okay. So that's the undersold part. Oversold is his socialism. Oh, few undersold Islamic state.
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?
00:04:23.920
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.
00:05:02.440
Wow. That was a really big hit. I mean, it's a great movie. I listened to the soundtrack
00:05:10.780
Both parents are of Indian descent. His father, a Gujatari Muslim born in Bombay, now Mumbai,
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
00:05:38.260
Mondavi holds Uganda, U.S. citizenship, naturalized in 2018, and identifies as a Shia Muslim of the
00:05:47.820
His middle name, Kawar, honors Kawar Nakamura, Ghana's first president, reflecting his family's
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,
00:06:18.820
But if it's urban monoculture Islamism, isn't it just urban monoculture with a hijab?
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.
00:06:35.740
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
00:06:55.600
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.
00:07:20.980
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.
00:07:38.480
So it's like the Muslim version of rich dad, poor dad.
00:07:41.740
Yes. Yes. But I wanted to understand what, okay, so what is like neither settler or native
00:07:47.380
about? Like what is the mind space that this guy is in, right?
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
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
00:09:42.380
before taking over the region. So they had genocided the previous population,
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,
00:10:06.620
right? Like this idea of Native versus colonist was not what was actually happening at the time
00:10:14.220
of colonization. Now, I'm not saying what happened to Native Americans wasn't absolutely terrible.
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?
00:11:09.740
And then it's made up of anyone who voluntarily immigrates to the country, who isn't white,
00:11:17.580
broadly speaking. So this would be Indians, this would be Arabs, this would be Africans, this would be
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
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,
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?
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,
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
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
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
00:15:29.340
people, or he calls for a global infatata, which he has called for. He has, okay.
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
00:15:51.660
state. So what's the, wait, sorry, I'm really not actually that well-versed on the term infatata.
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.
00:16:24.200
Yeah, with the Jews as a majority population, and you attempt to eliminate them. But remember,
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.
00:16:46.380
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
00:16:57.620
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.
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,
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
00:19:40.760
white person because your people. Super white. Remember super straight? Right, right. No, but the
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
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
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
00:21:45.500
immigrants. We hate white people. A city built by immigrants. We hate white people. Power by immigrants.
00:21:52.300
The opposite of white power, immigrant power, I guess. And as of tonight, led by an immigrant.
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
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
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
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,
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.
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,
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
00:23:56.340
something, to attack something, to kill someone. Why on earth am I going to go halfway across the
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
00:24:15.860
in terms of, like, my people, right? When Israel falls, all of the people who are now attacking
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
00:28:21.420
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
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
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
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
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
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.
00:33:12.680
Well, that's surprising. It just seems to have been black-on-black violence in Africa.
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?
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
00:34:42.620
Palestinian government and have Israel run everything.
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.
00:35:05.940
What's up with this? And it's like, yeah, wouldn't it be great then if Israel at least
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?
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.
00:35:41.620
So you as a Muslim, growing up here, we're in the Muslim quarter. Have you faced discrimination,
00:35:54.680
Israel left Gaza in 2005, meaning in 2005 there was no Jew alive or dead in Gaza. They even took
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
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
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
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,
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.
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
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.
00:40:09.600
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.
00:40:49.340
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
00:53:07.480
you all are. Right. So like everyone kind of gets what they want by his being elected.
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
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.
00:54:17.900
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
00:54:38.920
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.
00:55:04.740
That is why he is willing to celebrate the extrajudicial execution of black people in Africa.
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.
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?
00:57:00.300
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.
00:58:25.900
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.
00:58:50.080
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.
00:59:04.440
I think it'd be fun to talk about mate blocking.
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.
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.
00:59:46.200
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.
01:00:11.480
We haven't, we haven't discussed it yet, but the Catholics versus Jews episode.
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.
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.
01:01:00.600
The Catholic church is, is not a monolith, blah, blah, blah.
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.
01:01:21.220
So the reason I would argue that you see more closeness there and more closeness between groups like Catholics and Mormons is just whether or not you have a centralized religious structure or a decentralized religious structure.
01:01:35.640
And again, it really depends on the, the dimension that you're, you're looking at.
01:01:41.780
Because I don't, because I don't like these candies.
01:01:50.740
Is this what happens when you have an autistic brother who doesn't like eating candy?
01:01:54.940
Toasty, aren't you going to eat some of your candy?
01:02:25.440
Annie's just doing her thing for her best life.
