00:00:00.000 Now, as we've been discussing, woke 2.0 is economic demagoguery.
00:00:03.000 So woke 1.0 was racial demagoguery, sexual demagoguery, right?
00:00:06.000 That was the thing that we got back in 2020, 2021, the idea that America was a white supremacist system, a patriarchy, evil.
00:00:14.000 Well, now, Democrats, because again, they think they've discovered the formula, and the new formula is capitalism sucks.
00:00:20.000 Capitalism is bad.
00:00:22.000 And so the goal is what if we just kind of chip away at the capitalism until we pour the universal acid of socialism all over it?
00:00:30.000 Representative Summer Lee, Who's back in Congress?
00:00:32.000 She says that progressivism is playing the long game.
00:00:35.000 Well, here's the quiet part out loud.
00:00:38.000 And I think that a lot of us know that our voters don't necessarily align themselves on this left-right binary.
00:00:44.000 That's why you're getting people in deep red districts now who are talking about data centers and AI.
00:00:50.000 They're talking about healthcare.
00:00:51.000 They're talking about end-in wars.
00:00:53.000 They're talking about so many of the things that progressives have been saying forever.
00:00:58.000 And they're still trying to draw the conclusion that, well, progressivism didn't win.
00:01:02.000 Well, that's not true because progressivism plays the long game.
00:01:05.000 Progressivism gets there first, and then we build from there.
00:01:09.000 And this cycle, I think, has absolutely shown us that people actually do want bold change.
00:01:16.000 Okay, again, this is what the left is saying.
00:01:18.000 Again, we'll destroy AI, we'll destroy markets, we'll destroy it, we'll do it slowly, right?
00:01:22.000 There are people like Summer Lee, like AOC, who are going to go, they'll run way out in front of the train and wait for the train to catch up to them.
00:01:28.000 But that is the idea.
00:01:29.000 And then you'll have people who basically lie.
00:01:31.000 That'll be like the Texas governor elect Gina Hinojosa, who's out there saying, we're not going to do more culture wars.
00:01:35.000 The culture wars, those are so over.
00:01:38.000 Because instead of the culture wars, they're going to do economic warfare and then they're just going to spoon a bunch of culture war.
00:01:44.000 Once we've done the economic warfare, we can do the culture war too.
00:01:49.000 Yeah, we need a governor who's going to work for you.
00:01:51.000 No more culture wars.
00:01:52.000 Nobody has time or patience or the luxury of culture wars in 2026.
00:01:56.000 A governor who's going to focus on making sure that the American dream is within reach, back to basics, saving Texas schools, putting money in your pocket.
00:02:04.000 That is my agenda.
00:02:07.000 That is my focus.
00:02:08.000 I'm not doing culture wars.
00:02:11.000 Those wars are over.
00:02:12.000 The only ones who won in that were the billionaires.
00:02:16.000 Oh, the billionaires won in the culture wars.
00:02:18.000 Well, actually, you guys won in 2020 on the basis of culture wars, and then you lost.
00:02:22.000 But again, this is all just guys for destruction of the key American institutions like free markets.
00:02:27.000 It's amazing they swiveled from trans the kids to trans the markets.
00:02:32.000 You just destroy the markets has now become the bipartisan coalitional cause.
00:02:35.000 That's the part that's truly amazing.
00:02:37.000 By the way, she says that she is now going to freeze electricity rates in Texas.
00:02:43.000 Good luck.
00:02:45.000 According to Reason, she promised during her campaign that if elected, she would direct the Public Utility Commission to freeze the rates residential customers pay until we have laws to ensure that data centers and other high load users pay for themselves.
00:02:57.000 Well, in Texas' decentralized market, as pointed out by Reason magazine, retail providers, not regulators, set electricity prices.
00:03:03.000 This means that Hinojosa has very little authority over residential prices.
00:03:07.000 Her order would not actually lower the costs.
00:03:10.000 What they actually mean is that essentially she is going to put enormous pressure on the tech companies and on the data centers.
00:03:17.000 That is the actual, again, destruction.
00:03:18.000 In the name of what economic redistributionism, that of course is the same thing that is being pushed by Zorhan Mamdani.
00:03:26.000 He has now signed a law that gives nonprofits first dibs at buying distressed residential buildings in the Big Apple.
00:03:32.000 Good luck.
00:03:33.000 We'll get to more on this in a moment.
00:03:34.000 First, let's talk about something very important.
00:03:36.000 You must have a trust or a will, it's important.
00:03:38.000 Like, as a responsible human being, you have to make sure that actually what you want to happen with your assets, if God forbid something happens, is made clear.
00:03:44.000 Otherwise, it's going to be people you don't know or don't like or the state who is figuring it out.

00:04:36.000 Okay, so you want to create new housing and he's going to get nonprofits to buy them.
00:04:41.000 Yeah, that's going to be a great developmental strategy.
00:04:43.000 Again, the goal is not to bring down the price of housing.
00:04:46.000 The goal is to end private ownership.
00:04:48.000 That is the entire goal here.
00:04:51.000 The so called Community Opportunity to Purchase Act, only the second bill that Mamdani has signed in the nearly year since he took office.
00:05:00.000 After the city council quietly resurrected a watered down version of the bill last month, it will affect 2,100 properties across the five boroughs.
00:05:07.000 The law prevents landlords of primarily rent stabilized buildings with outstanding housing code violations from listing their properties on the open market.
00:05:15.000 Instead, they have to wait out a 20 day bidding window for qualified nonprofits to express interest in the property and a maximum of 70 days to make an official first offer.
00:05:23.000 So they make you sit on your worthless apartment to sell it to somebody.
00:05:27.000 Instead, you have to sell it to the Zorn Momdani.
00:05:31.000 Islamist lesbian center for housing.
00:05:35.000 That is the plan here.
00:05:36.000 Here's Zorhan Mamdani and his, it's a me, Mario, mustache, talking about it.
00:05:43.000 How will city support differ in the context of COPPA in terms of financials for making compelling offers to buildings that are up on the market?
00:05:53.000 First dibs doesn't necessarily mean that they're going to win out.
00:05:57.000 How's the city going to support that?
00:05:58.000 Well, I think in the immortal words of Wiz Khalifa, time is money.
00:06:03.000 And we need to ensure that the most responsible stewards of affordable housing are given that opportunity where their conversation is simply with the potential seller of the building.
00:06:17.000 And we've heard from a number of nonprofits over the years that they would have been able to purchase a property were they able to have that kind of a window.
00:06:28.000 Oh, oh.
00:06:30.000 So you can't sell your house to a property.
00:06:31.000 It's the responsible people, because as we know, the most responsible stewards of capital are nonprofits.
00:06:36.000 Which, if you've ever worked with a nonprofit, is one of the most hilarious statements ever made.
00:06:40.000 Truly hilarious.
00:06:42.000 The amount of waste in nonprofits, most nonprofits, is exorbitant.
00:06:46.000 We've been told, we've been told by very, very reliable sources that Zoran Momdani's America first.
00:06:46.000 Hey, but don't worry.
00:06:51.000 I mean, Tucker Carlson has said this.
00:06:52.000 Zoran Momdani only cares about America, which is why he is headed to Puerto Rico.
00:06:58.000 Again, Puerto Rico is an American territory, it is not an American state.
00:07:05.000 Here is Zoran Momdani.
00:07:07.000 He is talking.
00:07:08.000 About Puerto Rico.
00:07:09.000 He's trying to convert Puerto Rico to socialism.
00:07:14.000 First, I would not begrudge anyone their questions or their skepticism.
00:07:18.000 And I say that because they have been hearing that very phrase, that very framing for decades.
00:07:25.000 And what is so exciting is to sit across from you as the mayor of the largest city in the country, as someone who's a proud democratic socialist.
00:07:33.000 And what I can do is point at these last 10 months.
00:07:36.000 And I can say, this is what it looks like when your city is led by a socialist.
00:07:40.000 It looks like delivering universal childcare.
00:07:42.000 It looks like paving 220,000 potholes.
00:07:46.000 It looks like winning the largest labor enforcement action in New York City history.
00:07:51.000 This is what it actually looks like versus this is what it's been described as.
00:07:56.000 Socialism has been described as, you know, like actual socialism.
00:07:59.000 According to Zoram Dhani, it's when you have a full scale capitalist city in the most populous area of the United States and then you pave a pothole.
00:08:12.000 That's what it is.
00:08:16.000 Folks, they come in with the grin, the smarmy grin, and now it's a Mimadio mustache.
00:08:23.000 And pretty soon, start to look like Castro.
00:08:25.000 Okay.
00:08:26.000 Like it is, it is amazing.
00:08:28.000 It is truly amazing.
00:08:29.000 Do not believe a word that this liar says because he is lying and you can tell he's lying as always.
00:08:33.000 The tell is when he's smiling and when he's doing the softer voice, when he's doing this.
00:08:37.000 That's when you can tell that he's really smiling.
00:08:39.000 Again, ASMR for retarded people.
00:08:42.000 It's really solid stuff there from Zoran Mom Tony.
00:08:45.000 What an amazing video you just watched.
00:08:47.000 Wasn't that amazing?
