00:00:00.000 We probably should not normalize the revolution.
00:00:00.000 Hot take.
00:00:03.000 Revolutions are bad, typically speaking.
00:00:06.000 And Americans should be opposed to the havoc, death, and destruction that a communist revolution in America would bring.
00:00:11.000 But not Mom Dhani, not the DSA, and certainly not the Democrats who are pulling the wool over their own eyes about how insane their party is now becoming.
00:00:17.000 They want to do the revolution.
00:00:19.000 They're salivating at the prospect of overturning America, as we know, to their absurd utopian ends.
00:00:23.000 The best part?
00:00:24.000 When they inevitably botch the rollout, they get to say their own incompetence is evidence that the system ought to be burned down all over again.
00:00:30.000 That's what's happening now.
00:00:31.000 When you destroy the institutions, the black pilling leads to revolution.
00:00:35.000 That's what the DSA is.
00:00:36.000 You wonder why the DSA is rising?
00:00:38.000 Because there are no institutions that stand between you and the revolution.
00:00:41.000 They've been leveled.
00:00:43.000 And that's why I find it kind of hilarious when you see people who very often have stumped for the leveling of those institutions now turning around and being very, very upset about the institutions being leveled.
00:00:54.000 Now, I will say listen, they're good hearted, old school kind of liberals who are shocked by the DSA.
00:01:02.000 But they are few and far between, as we'll see.
00:01:04.000 So, Joe Scarborough was shocked by the DSA national co chair, a person named Megan Romer, saying that October 7th was inevitable.
00:01:10.000 But this is, of course, what the DSA believes.
00:01:11.000 Remember, the DSA believes that capitalism and free markets, the West, and its values cause everything bad on earth.
00:01:21.000 So, if a terrorist group decides to murder civilians en masse, then it must be the fault of the West.
00:01:28.000 The co chair of the DSA, supported going to a pro-Hamas rally the day after Hamas gleefully slaughtered more Jews on October 7th than any day the Jews were slaughtered since the Holocaust.
00:01:55.000 Women raped, young children shot in front of their parents, parents shot in front of Young children.
00:02:09.000 The DSA co chair, which means the DSA, supports that.
00:02:17.000 I really don't want to hear from the DSA anymore that they're about economic justice or health care.
00:02:27.000 Okay, but Joe Scarborough is few and far between because it turns out the vast majority of the left is perfectly willing to fellow travel with all of this stuff because they think they can channel the revolution, which is why, again, Hassan Piker is only important because they made him important.
00:02:39.000 They made him important.
00:02:40.000 He's the one who's campaigning with people.
00:02:42.000 Right?
00:02:42.000 The right has done a decentish kind of job of trying to excise the psychos from its midst.
00:02:48.000 The left is just hugging them as tight as possible.
00:02:50.000 Here was Hassan Piker yesterday talking about Sia Weaver, who's a DSA leader, saying that she wants to impoverish the white middle class. 0.99
00:02:59.000 That's her goal.
00:03:02.000 Mandami's aide, his top aide, Sia Weaver said if you don't believe in the government's sacred right to seize property, it's over. 1.00
00:03:10.000 And impoverish the white middle class.
00:03:14.000 I love her so much. 0.96
00:03:14.000 Beast mode. 0.96
00:03:16.000 One of the things about Zoran is that the people surrounding him oftentimes are so much cooler than he is.
00:03:21.000 But that's also part of the reason why I really respect what he's doing.
00:03:24.000 She's awesome.
00:03:26.000 Again, this is the whole thing Mamdani is the friendly, smiling, smarmy face of this thing.
00:03:33.000 But Sia Weaver is Mamdani's executive director for Housing Justice for All.
00:03:36.000 And she just says this stuff out loud.
00:03:38.000 Here she was back in March 2021, saying that white families particularly need to transition away from property rights.
00:03:46.000 I think the reality is that for centuries we've really treated property as an individualized good and not a collective good.
00:03:55.000 And we are going to transition to treating it as a collective good and towards a model of shared equity will require that we think about it differently. 0.53
00:04:06.000 And it will mean that families, especially white families, but some POC families who are homeowners as well, are going to have a different relationship to property than the one that we currently have. 1.00
00:04:21.000 We need to end the relationship. 1.00
00:04:23.000 Again, these are the people who work for Zara Montani, they work for it.
00:04:26.000 And Hassan Piker is the same dude who allegedly suggested, apparently, that, you know, I'm just going to let him say it himself because I can't even repeat it. 1.00
00:04:38.000 We're going to keep bringing in immigrants in this country on purpose just so they can fuck your sister and then maybe even your daughter. 1.00
00:04:45.000 We're going to destroy the white race, bitch. 1.00
00:04:47.000 That's what we're here to do. 1.00
00:04:50.000 And now his response to that was he is white. 0.96
00:04:51.000 Okay, well, that's pretty convenient, my dude. 0.91
00:04:55.000 In any case, I think the important thing here is to understand the op, okay, because it is, in fact, an op.
00:05:01.000 Okay, so in 2020, Zorhan Mamdani, when he had a Ugandan accent, right?
00:05:06.000 Again, Mamdani code switches all the time because he is just another theater kid who's been elevated to a position of power.
00:05:12.000 He explained full on how this goes.
00:05:15.000 He said that basically, what you need in the Democratic Party for the DSA is you need a bunch of third world minorities to come here and validate the opinions of college educated white people. 0.97
00:05:26.000 He's just saying the quiet part. 0.98
00:05:27.000 I mean, again, I've said this.
00:05:28.000 Now he's saying it. 0.70
00:05:29.000 Here he was back in 2020 saying it, but with a different accent because he's a complete fake.
00:05:34.000 The interesting thing about our communities here is I think that minority communities, because we have never had representation, we are tied much more to identity.
00:05:44.000 White communities, they've had representation forever. 0.71
00:05:47.000 And so for them, their tie is a little less identity and a little more ideology. 0.78
00:05:53.000 And so what I mean by that is we have a lot of voters here who think of themselves first as progressive voters.
00:05:59.000 And so we reach out to them speaking about our platform, our progressive platform.
00:06:04.000 And you're very right that you need someone in the middle.
00:06:07.000 To be a validator, someone to tell them to trust us, believe in us.
00:06:11.000 We have had that with Tiffany Caban and Cynthia Nixon.
00:06:16.000 They need validators, guys. 0.62
00:06:17.000 They need people in the middle who are just going to help, you know, the white libs follow the third worlders. 0.73
00:06:22.000 That's what you need. 0.96
00:06:22.000 That's what you need. 0.96
00:06:23.000 And they just say it right out loud.
00:06:25.000 That's what this coalition is.
00:06:25.000 And that's what you get.
00:06:27.000 The New York Post has a fascinating piece today about an anti rent radical who is squatting in Brooklyn.
00:06:32.000 It turns out that the rent striking, rising star radical orchestrating the Momdani administration's socialist housing agenda.
00:06:38.000 Is the daughter of a famed music studio owner who recorded rock legends like David Bowie, the Ramones, Blondie Lou Reed, Sonic Youth, the Foo Fighters, and Coldplay.
00:06:46.000 While framing herself as a champion of the proletariat, Tracy Rosenthal grew up in a trendy $1.7 million nomad pad, North Manhattan, with elite access to the music industry, attending the Grammys at least twice with her dad, four time winner Stephen Rosenthal.
00:07:04.000 And then she talks about how tough she has it.
00:07:07.000 At a North Carolina DSA meeting where she spoke last August, Rosenthal sang the blues about what she claimed were horrendous conditions she had to endure in 2021 as soon as I moved in.
00:07:18.000 I realized that we had roaches and I lost my mind.
00:07:21.000 I was very angry.
00:07:21.000 It was really gross.
00:07:22.000 And then she talks about how hard it was.
00:07:26.000 Hey, Nomad is at North of Madison Square.
00:07:29.000 Here is Tracy Rosenthal explaining that abolish rent is vengeance.
00:07:33.000 It's vengeance.
00:07:34.000 I mean, they're just obvious.
00:07:35.000 They want the revolution, obviously.
00:07:37.000 They would like the revolution now.
00:07:40.000 In a certain way, the answer is vengeance.
00:07:42.000 I grew up in New York City.
00:07:45.000 Where the real estate capital prevented, like, real estate capital moved and then bankrupted my family from having, like, a business in the music business.
00:08:04.000 These people, these spoiled brat rich kids destroying the country.
00:08:09.000 It's amazing. 0.98
00:08:10.000 It's truly amazing.
00:08:11.000 And of course, they're helped along by the legacy media who continue to portray them as sort of semi moderates.
00:08:17.000 We'll get to more on this in a moment.
00:08:18.000 First, we spend an enormous amount of time thinking about what we buy price, quality, convenience.
00:08:23.000 One question that probably doesn't get asked often enough is where did this stuff actually come from?
00:08:27.000 When it comes to food, that's a pretty reasonable question to ask.
00:08:29.000 If seafood is something your household eats, that's part of the appeal of Wild Alaskan Company.
00:08:34.000 They deliver premium wild caught seafood harvested in Alaska directly to your door.
00:08:37.000 You know where it's coming from?
00:08:38.000 Every box arrives with individually portioned vacuum sealed fillets, so you're not just buying some enormous piece of fish and trying to figure out what to do with it.
00:08:45.000 They offer options like coho salmon and Pacific halibut.
00:08:47.000 The fish is frozen after it's harvested in Alaska to preserve its quality.
00:08:50.000 No GMOs, no antibiotics, no unnecessary additives, and you're supporting sustainable harvesting practices and Alaskan fishing families here in the United States.
00:08:58.000 So, if seafood is already part of what your family eats, this is a pretty straightforward proposition.
00:09:02.000 Quality, wild-caught seafood, a clear idea of where it came from, and the convenience of having it delivered directly to you.
00:09:07.000 If you've never ordered seafood through the mail and you're thinking, okay, but am I going to really trust a box of fish showing up at the house?
00:09:12.000 It's a fair question.
00:09:13.000 Wild Alaskan Company backs every first order with 100% satisfaction and money-back guarantee.
00:09:18.000 Head on over to wildalaskan.comslash Shapiro for 35 bucks off your first order of premium wild-caught seafood.
00:09:24.000 That's wildalaskan.com slash Shapiro for 35 bucks off your first order.
00:09:27.000 Thanks to Wild Alaskan Company for sponsoring this episode.
00:09:30.000 So, MS Now, Pablo Torre, who started off as a sports commentator, I'm not sure why he's doing politics now, but I guess that's where we are.
00:09:38.000 He claims that actually Hassan Piker is not a radical.
00:09:40.000 He actually is more like Charlie Kirk than Nick Fuentes, which is weird because he is definitely more like Nick Fuentes.
00:09:47.000 And in the meantime, you try to point out look, Hassan Piker, I've talked to Hassan Piker before.
00:09:52.000 I don't think he's Nick Fuentes.
00:09:54.000 I think he's more like Charlie Kirk.
00:09:56.000 And the idea there is there are people who exist to provoke on the other side.
00:10:02.000 And the question is as a party, as Dems, do you then hold yourself to a standard that is beyond what, again, the other side equivalent of the aisle is doing?
00:10:18.000 Again, insane. 0.96
00:10:19.000 Insane.
00:10:19.000 But this is the idea.
00:10:20.000 If you can normalize, Hassan Piker and Abdul Al Said, then you can normalize everybody, which, of course, is the goal.
00:10:26.000 So, the goal here is to open space for AOC.
00:10:28.000 I'm old enough to remember when Nancy Pelosi was the leftmost member of the Democratic caucus. 0.96
00:10:33.000 And then it turns out she was outflanked and suddenly she became a moderate.
00:10:35.000 They're doing the same thing with AOC right now.
00:10:37.000 So, Jessica Tarloff with Scott Galloway on Raging Moderates, they were talking about the magic of AOC as the moderate Democrat.
00:10:45.000 Yeah, I just wonder in a general election if AOC is more of a liability than a plus.
00:10:49.000 I don't think so.
00:10:50.000 I mean, she can't be.
00:10:51.000 She is now compared to the like real core DSA wing, like the far, far left stuff, like the.
00:10:59.000 Daria Lisa, AOC is like a moderate Dem on a comparative basis.
00:11:04.000 Yeah, that's a fair point.
00:11:07.000 Okay, so again, the idea that she is somehow the moderate, and if this is where we're going, that basically the moderate Democrats are completely ruled out, right?
00:11:17.000 John Fetterman's done.
00:11:18.000 The only question is whether AOC is radical enough.
00:11:23.000 I mean, this is where things are going.
00:11:24.000 And meanwhile, AOC is out there freezing her eggs, and we're all going to have to join her in her journey. 0.82
00:11:30.000 Oh my goodness.
00:11:31.000 Like, why is this even our business?
00:11:33.000 I say it again.
00:11:34.000 Only two reasons.
00:11:34.000 Why is it our business?
00:11:35.000 She's running for president, one, and two, because she wants to normalize the idea that somehow female biological processes are anomalies and impositions by cosmic forces established against women or some such nonsense. 1.00
00:11:49.000 All right, come with me to my last workout of this whole egg freezing cycle. 0.93
00:11:57.000 So, this is something that I discovered on this process is that after about four or five days in, You can't work out anymore.
00:12:08.000 So today I'm on day three.
00:12:10.000 I'm heading back to New York.
00:12:11.000 I have my first ultrasound checkup appointment tomorrow, and after that, no more working out.
00:12:18.000 And the reason for that is because your ovaries really grow a lot in this process to facilitate making a lot of eggs, which is what the drugs are for.
00:12:28.000 I'll get into that later.
00:12:30.000 But what that also means is that you can't have.
00:12:36.000 Much.
00:12:37.000 You don't want to risk something known as torsion. 0.91
00:12:39.000 You don't want to twist your ovaries.
00:12:41.000 So you can't do almost any exercise at all.
00:12:45.000 Why is this a thing that we even know? 0.68
00:12:46.000 Again, I'm not sure which is worse the sort of manosphere on the internet or the girly influencers on the left of the internet. 0.51
00:12:56.000 It's just great.
00:12:57.000 And then she put up a bunch of posts about all of her workout routines.
00:13:03.000 This is what we need in America.
00:13:04.000 Okay, but here is one of the things.
00:13:06.000 So the DSA, right, they actually run a city.
00:13:08.000 Okay, so Zoran Momzani's in charge of New York, and he keeps proposing crazy things.
00:13:12.000 And every so often, it turns out that those crazy things get stopped.
00:13:15.000 So, for example, he proposed all of these massive tax increases and has been unable to do any of them.
00:13:20.000 So, he went to the state and made Kathy Hochul do a lot of those things to sort of bail out the city.
00:13:25.000 Now, a judge is temporarily blocking Momzani's pied-a-terre tax, right? 0.97
00:13:28.000 That is the tax on people who supposedly own apartments worth more than $5 million where they don't live the majority of the year, which, again, is nonsensical and stupid and simply drives homeowners out of the city.
00:13:40.000 Wayne Ozzie, a state judge in Staten Island, entered a TRO, a temporary restraining order, mandating that the Department of Finance remove the tax roll of 960,000 properties published last month as part of that pied-a-terre tax rollout.
00:13:52.000 The court also banned the city from taking any additional enforcement action on the tax warning notices that have already been mailed to 17,000 homeowners.
00:14:00.000 So, again, the lawsuit is not challenging the pied-a-terre tax as a whole.
00:14:02.000 They're arguing that the rollout has been botched.
00:14:04.000 The inefficacy this is the beautiful thing about being a revolutionary.
00:14:07.000 If you get charge of a government and you suck at it, you're really bad at it, you are just accelerating the fall of the system.
00:14:12.000 The DSA hates the system as a whole.
00:14:14.000 The more the system fails, the more they argue that they ought to be in charge of more of the system.
00:14:19.000 It is beautiful.
00:14:20.000 This is the way that it works.
00:14:22.000 Again, woke two is going to be worse than woke one.
00:14:25.000 Woke one was the proposition that racism undergirds capitalism and the West and imperialism and colonialism. 0.97
00:14:30.000 It's all motivated by evil white supremacy.
00:14:32.000 And most people are like, eh, woke two is the idea that capitalism undergirds all of the evils of society.
00:14:38.000 All of it.
00:14:39.000 What an amazing video you just watched.
00:14:41.000 Wasn't that amazing?
