00:00:00.000 Opposing radical Islam really shouldn't be that tough.
00:00:03.000 And yet the Democratic Party has gone totally belly up for people who can't condemn terrorists, for people with values diametrically opposed to those of the West, people who would love to destroy the West.
00:00:13.000 It's time for America to wake up.
00:00:14.000 Democrats today are no longer your grandpa's Democratic Party.
00:00:17.000 They don't really believe in reform.
00:00:18.000 They now believe in revolution.
00:00:19.000 I don't know.
00:00:21.000 I like our founding ideals.
00:00:22.000 Liberty, property, the pursuit of happiness.
00:00:24.000 I like those things.
00:00:25.000 I'm not sure there are many Democrats left who can say the same.
00:00:28.000 The real question that a lot of people have, and I know, like, I have a lot of reasonable Democrat friends and they're puzzled.
00:00:33.000 By the infiltration of the left by radical Islam, the hands in hand willingness to go along with this stuff.
00:00:39.000 One of the reasons, again, that people have trouble understanding the infiltration of radical Islam into our politics is that the left, which theoretically should oppose radical Islam because, you know, it is a radical Islam is a tyrannical, anti freedom of every sort religion.
00:00:57.000 They're happy to join in the chorus of Islamophobia every time somebody notices the problem, which is weird.
00:01:02.000 The answer, of course, is that it always comes down to the coalition of the scavengers.
00:01:05.000 As long as you hate the system, You will fellow travel with anybody up to and including the radical Muslims who would like to destroy it.
00:01:12.000 So, the appeal for Bernie Sanders agrees with Abdul El Sayed.
00:01:15.000 That is the reason.
00:01:16.000 It is a natural fit.
00:01:18.000 Bernie Sanders thinks that the system is conspiratorially rigged on behalf of the successful.
00:01:23.000 The same thing that Abdul El Sayed believes.
00:01:25.000 And that crosses paths internationally with the idea that Israel is disproportionately successful, the Palestinians, because they've made horrific choices for several decades at this point, for 80 years at this point, that they are somehow victimized.
00:01:36.000 So, Bernie is perfectly happy with all of this.
00:01:38.000 He loves all of this.
00:01:41.000 In fact, Bernie says that people like Bernie, people like Abdul El Sayed, they should be leading the Democratic Party.
00:01:49.000 And you've heard a lot of people say that if you're not going to just kind of fit in nicely with the Democratic establishment, you shouldn't be a Democrat.
00:01:56.000 Well, maybe the converse is true.
00:01:59.000 Maybe the Democratic establishment should begin to understand they are way, way out of touch with where the American people are, that we don't need a party anymore which is dominated by wealthy campaign contributors.
00:02:11.000 So when you talk about the Democratic establishment, it's really relatively few people.
00:02:17.000 Meanwhile, Milat Kirosh, who is again a congressional candidate over in Colorado, another one of these extraordinarily radical candidates, extraordinarily radical candidates, a total DSA candidate,
00:02:32.000 she's out there suggesting that the Declaration of Independence was rooted in socialism.
00:02:37.000 Okay.
00:02:40.000 I don't think there's anything more American than subscribing to an economic philosophy that.
00:02:48.000 As the evidence shows, is the only one that's actually capable of delivering things like life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
00:02:53.000 I really can't think of it.
00:02:55.000 Socialism has proven to deliver on the values of the Declaration of Independence more than capitalism has.
00:03:01.000 Yeah.
00:03:04.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:03:05.000 If you're a moron.
00:03:06.000 But again, it's all about ripping down the system, it's not about replacing it with anything in reality, it's just about destroying things.
00:03:12.000 This is why Mila Kirosh on Firing Line with Margaret Hoover says that capitalism is really about monopolies.
00:03:17.000 The ultimate monopoly is socialism because the government owns the means of production.
00:03:21.000 It is literally a monopoly.
00:03:22.000 It is the only power.
00:03:23.000 There's no competition with it.
00:03:25.000 Here's me like Kirosh.
00:03:26.000 Again, this is a person who the left has decided is wonderful.
00:03:31.000 When folks think of capitalism, I think they think of free markets and competition and innovation.
00:03:38.000 And.
00:03:39.000 What do you think of?
00:03:41.000 I think of monopolies.
00:03:42.000 I think of.
00:03:43.000 But that's not capitalism, if it's a monopoly.
00:03:46.000 Well, and that's the question, right?
00:03:47.000 Because in an unfettered capitalism.
00:03:50.000 It does end up leading to monopolies, though, if there's no government intervention.
00:03:57.000 This is the entire Democratic Party.
00:03:58.000 They have decided to embrace a burning down of the system.
00:04:01.000 It is the thing they care about most in life.
00:04:02.000 Just burn down the system.
00:04:05.000 And speak a bunch of nonsense, by the way, about capitalism and the meritocracy.
00:04:08.000 I mean, like, Hirosh talks about the idea of donut economics.
00:04:12.000 Okay.
00:04:16.000 To make it super clear cut, I subscribe to this theory of donut economics.
00:04:20.000 And in donut economics, you have the inner ring of the donut, which is where everyone's basic needs are being met.
00:04:26.000 And then the outer ring are the boundaries.
00:04:29.000 So that.
00:04:29.000 You know, you can make as much money as you want and do whatever you want with it, so long as you are not harming the planet, the one that we all have, or that you're not exploiting others in order to earn that wealth.
00:04:43.000 Is she aware that a donut has a hole in it?
00:04:46.000 Doesn't even make sense a metaphor.
00:04:49.000 But again, this has been imbibed.
00:04:50.000 All this stuff has been just taken into the mainstream Democratic Party, which is why James Tallarico, who's considered a mainstream normie Democrat, spends his time suggesting that Jesus was a socialist on health care somehow.
00:05:03.000 We can finish the work of President Obama and pass a public option so that every single American has access to the health care they deserve.
00:05:13.000 Because health care is a human right, it is not a privilege.
00:05:18.000 I just, since we are in church, and because I said BS earlier, if you read our scriptures, if you read the New Testament, what does Jesus spend most of his time doing?
00:05:29.000 It's not, wow, you already know, okay.
00:05:32.000 It's not preaching, it's not teaching, it is healing, healing the sick.
00:05:38.000 And in Matthew 25, scripture says that's how we will be judged and how we will be saved by healing the sick, by feeding the hungry, by welcoming the stranger, by visiting the prisoner.
00:05:52.000 I feel like Jesus, who had the power, according to the New Testament, to heal the sick himself, I don't think that's quite the same thing as every doctor must be forced to provide care at a price provided by the government.
00:06:03.000 I'm pretty sure that's a major distinction there.
00:06:07.000 In any case, The whole thing is about the coalition of the dispossessed tearing things down.
00:06:10.000 That's, that's the entire thing.
00:06:12.000 It's why you have the Abdullah Syed's running herd over the traditional Democrats.
00:06:17.000 And I have to say, there is something sad about the fact that there are traditional Democrats who are looking around and suddenly realizing that this is all about destruction, not about building.
00:06:24.000 If you run a business and somebody calls you and you don't pick up the phone, you lose the customer.

00:07:22.000 So Scott Galloway, I was on Scott's show recently with, uh, with Jessica Tarloff.
00:07:27.000 I like Scott, but this is like, this is perfectly predictable stuff.
00:07:31.000 This is the, I voted for leopards eating people's faces party and now they're eating my face stuff.
00:07:36.000 So Scott Galloway said that he supported Zorhan Mamdani's Pierre de Terre tax.
00:07:40.000 Now there are a lot of people on the left and sort of the moderate left who say, I want higher taxes because it'll pay for better social services.
00:07:47.000 Not understanding that for people like Zar Mamdani, it is not about the better social services and it never was.
00:07:52.000 It was about eating the rich.
00:07:54.000 When AOC wore a dress to the Met Gala, it did not say better social services upon it.
00:07:58.000 It said, tax the rich.
00:07:59.000 That's what they care about.
00:08:00.000 It is about tearing people down.
00:08:02.000 So, why exactly Scott was surprised when Zarnamdani decided to plaster the names and addresses of every apartment owner in New York all over the internet?
00:08:11.000 I'm not sure why he's surprised.
00:08:12.000 Of course, that was the way it was going to go.
00:08:14.000 Of course, it was.
00:08:15.000 Come on.
00:08:18.000 And I've been doxxed.
00:08:20.000 You've been doxed?
00:08:21.000 Tell me.
00:08:21.000 What?
00:08:23.000 I don't know if you've heard, but Mayor Mamdani has decided to release a list of the 950,000 residences with addresses and names that might be eligible for his pied-a-terre tax.
00:08:36.000 I'm a fan of this tax.
00:08:38.000 I was supportive of it.
00:08:39.000 Yep.
00:08:40.000 Rich absenteeism should, should subsidize a nurse in the Bronx paying 40% of her income on rent.
00:08:48.000 I came out in favor of this tax.
00:08:50.000 This is the definition.
00:08:51.000 He's taken a legitimate source of tax revenue and is turning it into a wanted poster.
00:08:57.000 And the question I would have is, Other than trying to identify and imply these people have done something wrong, and then 18 months after a healthcare CEO was executed in the street and then published the list, what is the upside here?
00:09:12.000 Why is he doing this?
00:09:15.000 I mean, why is he doing this?
00:09:17.000 Because of what you just said.
00:09:18.000 Because a year ago, a healthcare CEO was murdered in the street.
00:09:21.000 That's why Zoram Domini is doing it.
00:09:22.000 He's doing it because that's what he wants.
00:09:24.000 Again, AOC wore a dress.
00:09:25.000 It said tax the rich to the Met Gala.
00:09:26.000 It did not say better social services.
00:09:29.000 I know the old style left thinks that we're just arguing about how best to provide public goods to people or what constitutes a public good.
00:09:34.000 That is not what the argument is about anymore.
00:09:36.000 That argument was solved long ago by the radical left, which decided that the only important thing is tearing people down.
00:09:43.000 What an amazing video you just watched.
