00:00:00.000John Leibowitz, sorry, I mean, John Stewart.
00:00:02.000He changed his name for business purposes, is struggling so hard for relevance.
00:00:06.000He is now glazing avowed communist and America hater Zoran Momdani on the eponymous podcast that he had to start so he could pretend to know things about politics.
00:00:14.000Somehow, John Stewart has convinced himself Momdani is actually a defender of capitalism.
00:00:18.000You see, Momdani is a secret capitalist trying to stop the socialists.
00:00:22.000We will also get to AOC pulling ahead of the pack in the polling for 2028 and Spencer Pratt slamming Democrats for blocking the pending Paramount Warner merger.
00:00:30.000Meanwhile, The entire Democratic Party apparatus will activate on behalf of this if they feel the necessity to.
00:00:35.000Zoran Momdani, who again, it is very difficult to look on Zoran Momdani and not just see the lie on his face.
00:01:05.000He was on with John Stewart, John Stewart trying to pretend that he's not that radical.
00:01:09.000And Momdani talks about closing Rikers Island with Stewart.
00:01:13.000We cannot have New Yorkers choose between safety and justice.
00:01:17.000And yes, I am doing the work with our police department, and we have been able to deliver the lowest number of murders and shootings in recorded history.
00:01:26.000And at the same time, I'm doing the work to close down Rikers Island and ensure that we are actually building the four smaller borough based jails.
00:01:35.000That brings an end to a horrible chapter in New York City history.
00:01:39.000And I think to your point, you know, when we're thinking about safety, there cannot be a hierarchy of safety where you experience it more or less depending on where you live in our city or how much money is in your pocket.
00:01:51.000And there also can't be a definition of safety that is purely after the fact, meaning that how you respond to violence.
00:01:58.000We also have to do the work of investing so that we prevent violence.
00:02:04.000Guys, there can't be a hierarchy of safety.
00:02:08.000And again, all this is, is just they're going to keep putting Momdani on this glorification tour, the Jon Stewarts of the world, pretending that they're moderate Democrats.
00:02:41.000Adam Smith wrote about things like fire departments and schools.
00:02:45.000And the notion that you're a socialist if you believe in public schools because there is a collective action problem with regard to education or a collective action problem with regard to the fire department because fires hop from house to house.
00:03:00.000But if you can pretend that Zoramandani doesn't mean nationalization of resources, the complete defenestration of all regulatory decency with regard to real estate, that he doesn't mean seizure of private property rights.
00:03:14.000Or confiscatory taxes on people, that all he really means is the fire department, then it's a great way of lying by omission.
00:03:24.000If you go back to some of the Democrats that we most admire, FDR, LaGuardia, you will see a lot of democratic socialist principles in their vision.
00:03:35.000And if you think about a lot of what we've come to accept as just the facts of life across our country, a lot of it is also still driven by democratic socialist principles.
00:03:44.000Now, if today, You and I were to introduce the idea of a building that lends out books for free, we would be slandered in the same way that so many new ideas are slandered today.
00:04:45.000Jon Stewart explains that actually, it's not that Mamdani hates capitalism, but Mamdani openly says he hates capitalism.
00:04:52.000What he actually wants is a reform movement for capitalism.
00:04:56.000He wants to reform capitalism, you see.
00:05:00.000People always say, oh, that's anti capitalist.
00:05:04.000And in some respects, I think it's the opposite.
00:05:08.000You know, capitalism, I think, would have faced a much stiffer opposition from communism and socialism in the 1930s if the New Deal hadn't been instituted.
00:05:20.000If we hadn't had created a more robust social safety net, revolution would have been much more on the table without social security, without the, you know, better housing for people.
00:05:32.000And I wonder if that's similar today, that in some respects, What you're doing is actually a reform movement for capitalism to some extent.
00:05:43.000What's hilarious is the cutaway to Mamdani, who's like, no, I don't want a reform movement for capitalism.
00:06:47.000It gets louder and busier, but it also gets better because every child changes your life in ways that you would never expect.
00:06:53.000By the way, as you have more and more of them, it changes all your kids.
00:06:55.000This is why I'm proud to support Preborn.
00:06:58.000Just 28 bucks provides one life saving ultrasound, and every ultrasound is another opportunity for a mom to meet her baby for the very first time.
00:07:07.000That's pound 250 baby or visit preborn.comslash Ben.
00:07:10.000You're not going to do anything remotely as important today.
00:07:12.000Head on over to preborn.comslash men or donate by dialing pound two fifty and saying keyword baby.
00:07:18.000Again, when it comes to the markets, it is impressive to watch as the left just takes the single greatest wealth creating vehicle in the history of mankind and tries to destroy it.
00:07:29.000This is a point that Scott Besant was making with regard to Mamdani.
00:07:45.000Look around our campuses and classrooms today.
00:07:49.000Apart from those here, Wheeler, of course, you will find that our students are being sold the seductive lie that government can solve every problem, redistribute every dollar, and supplant its judgment for our own.
00:08:03.000Our children are taught to romanticize an ideology that results in ruin wherever it is tested, to critique capitalism for every one of its flaws, and to forgive socialism for every one of its constant failures.
00:08:20.000In New York, the current mayor rose to power by repackaging failed ideals of the past as a moral cause of the future.
00:08:29.000But in Georgia, you know that beneath that youthful veneer lies the oldest impulse in politics, which is to concentrate power and then call it compassion.
00:10:08.000Because at least one third of the Democratic Party is the Bernie side of the party.
00:10:12.000Those people are going to line up behind AOC.
00:10:14.000And AOC is going to try to pretend that she's a moderate Democrat who's just making room for the DSA, as opposed to what she really is, which is a charter member of the DSA, essentially, without the card.
00:10:25.000Here she was yesterday talking about how, you know, we can't persecute the people in the DSA.
00:10:30.000They're good people, good, solid people.
00:10:34.000Should some DSAers who have called themselves communists educate themselves as to what they're doing?
00:11:15.000But her plan is to moderate and pretend to be moderate.
00:11:18.000Meanwhile, Democrats across the country continue to try to shut down the workings of the free market.
00:11:23.000A bunch of state attorneys general in California, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Washington, Oregon filed a lawsuit to block the merger of Paramount and Warner Brothers.
00:11:34.000Again, the idea for Paramount was to purchase Warner Brothers.
00:11:37.000Now it has a bigger library, and now you get more stuff for your subscription fee.
00:11:40.000Elizabeth Warren, of course, is very happy with this because anything that allows business to work more freely, she's against.
00:11:46.000Big shout out to the state AGs who stepped up to block the Paramount Warner Brothers merger when Trump's DOJ wimps folded.
00:11:52.000We know who really fights for the American people, and it's sure not Trump's DOJ.
00:11:56.000Well, Spencer Pratt properly points out that Democrats are perfectly willing to destroy Hollywood if it means that they can have control.
00:12:17.000He needs to quit playing petty politics and crippling Hollywood.
00:12:20.000All this does is put production workers in the barrel as cannon fodder when they're already suffering enough with how much greasy Gavin has pushed this industry out of LA.
00:12:29.000The film industry needs a shot in the arm.
00:12:32.000And Paramount is not only investing $110 billion into Warner Brothers, but David Ellison is slated to produce 30 theatrical releases in their first year.
00:12:40.000That would be a massive boom for an industry that's been hemorrhaging jobs.
