00:00:00.000 DeSantis signing bill requiring schools to teach accurate history of communism.
00:00:08.140 So what does this mean?
00:00:09.580 Accurate history of communism.
00:00:13.580 DeSantis signed legislation on Wednesday requiring age and developmentally appropriate instruction in the history of communism.
00:00:20.340 Florida school beginning 2026-2027 school year.
00:00:23.360 The curriculum will cover atrocities committed under communist regimes abroad.
00:00:26.660 the increasing threat of communism in the United States
00:00:29.640 and the communist policies and practices of Cuba and Latin America.
00:00:32.880 DeSantis said many universities across the country
00:00:34.920 try to rehabilitate communism,
00:00:37.000 and Florida will instead tell the truth and the evils of communism
00:00:39.400 and unprecedented death toll in the 20th century.
00:00:41.660 Florida Education Commissioner Manny Diaz Jr. said
00:00:43.920 the bill ensures students learn history
00:00:45.540 so that our students in Florida are not apt to repeat the history.
00:00:49.020 Senator Jay Collins, who sponsored the bill,
00:00:52.780 warned that we fought in the 80s,
00:00:54.760 that communism and socialism was dead,
00:00:56.660 and that we took our foot off the gas pedal, but they never went away.
00:01:01.720 So, you know, before I come to you guys, when we first came here,
00:01:05.280 we went and interviewed at a lot of different schools.
00:01:07.000 We went to St. Andrews.
00:01:08.420 We went to American Heritage in Boca,
00:01:10.640 had a horrible experience with a lady named Cobos.
00:01:16.760 I think her name was Patricia Cobos, something Cobos.
00:01:20.580 Am I saying the name correctly, Tom?
00:01:23.040 I think that's right, Patty.
00:01:24.060 Patty Cobos, yes.
00:01:25.300 and had multiple meetings.
00:01:26.920 I said, okay, we're never going to do anything with American heritage.
00:01:29.200 We took all our kids out.
00:01:30.500 And then we looked at St. Andrews, had a very good experience with St. Andrews,
00:01:33.820 but it was too far from us.
00:01:36.400 And then eventually we went to, what's the local school, the big one?
00:01:41.680 Prestonwood?
00:01:42.440 Preston, what's the local?
00:01:44.400 Pinecrest.
00:01:44.720 We went to Pinecrest.
00:01:46.020 Pinecrest.
00:01:46.500 And while we went to Pinecrest, I went for the interviews,
00:01:49.840 and a lady sits in front of me, and I asked basic questions.
00:01:52.860 Ma'am, what's this school's position on capitalism, socialism, and communism?
00:01:58.280 I ask everybody the same question.
00:02:01.660 The only one that gave me this answer was her.
00:02:05.960 And she said to me, she said, well, we teach our kids the pros and cons of each economical system.
00:02:12.820 I said, what's the pro of communism?
00:02:16.260 And so she's like, well, there's some benefits to each of these economical systems.
00:02:20.440 I said, I understand that, but where do you guys lie?
00:02:24.580 He says, well, no, our students need to know the pros and cons of communism, socialism, and capitalism.
00:02:29.780 We want the kids to have a balanced understanding of all three.
00:02:33.400 Let me tell you what month this is.
00:02:34.920 Tom, what month would this have been?
00:02:36.820 December of 2020-ish, you know, November of 2020-ish, because it's right before we're moving.
00:02:42.240 He has something like that.
00:02:43.700 It's late 20, early 21.
00:02:46.200 That's right.
00:02:46.700 Okay.
00:02:47.000 Yep, yep, yep.
00:02:47.440 So we're doing these interviews, and the moment the lady answered the question,
00:02:51.580 and Pinecrest is the place everybody wants to put their kids there.
00:02:54.400 Oh, my God, Pinecrest this, Pinecrest that.
00:02:57.120 I walked out.
00:02:58.120 I said, Jen, there's no way in the world I want to put my kids in a place
00:03:01.180 that are teaching pros of communism and cons of communism.
00:03:06.460 And you think there are pros.
00:03:08.180 I said, I'm out.
00:03:09.060 That's all she had to say.
00:03:10.840 I got in the car.
00:03:11.700 I said, if the person that's recruiting kids and parents,
00:03:15.080 and when you go to Pinecrest, you know how all of them are?
00:03:17.440 like you are so lucky to do this and all this i said this is a unattractive thing we were trying
00:03:23.580 to get a couple more kids into that place i said we're out i would rather teach values and principles
00:03:28.600 than even give a glimpse of pros of communism after how many tens of millions of people died
00:03:33.640 because of communism so how do you feel about the story because some people would sit there and say
00:03:37.600 well don't you want to give freedom of speech but this is not really a freedom of speech it is
00:03:41.160 Forcing teachers, who we know 98% of English teachers are Democrats.
00:03:46.820 They put their money on the left.
00:03:47.920 We know what campaigns they support.
00:03:49.560 A lot of these are Bernie people.
00:03:51.320 Now they have to actually be forced to say bad things about communism and socialism.
00:03:56.160 How do you force these socialist teachers to do that?
00:03:59.160 You can't force them to do that.
00:04:00.460 They're still going to put their own spin in it, no, Tom?
00:04:03.060 I think we're back to the comment about the teachers union
00:04:07.100 And how do you control the yapping hyenas that pledge allegiance to the teachers union and the liberalism that goes with it?
00:04:15.080 And the 90 was at 95 percent donation rate to Democrat and liberal candidates.
00:04:22.320 You know, Florida suddenly reminds me in a good way of the old Phil Hartman.
00:04:27.360 Remember Phil Hartman on Saturday Night Live?
00:04:28.800 One of my favorite.
00:04:29.820 Remember when he was Frankenstein and they were having the debate about things.
00:04:34.060 And he's Frankenstein.
00:04:35.940 And he goes, fire, bad.
00:04:38.340 Well, finally, Florida is taking a page out of that thing.
00:04:41.720 This is communism, bad, and showing it.
00:04:45.960 And I think what's interesting.
00:04:47.840 But that's not the question, though.
00:04:48.920 I want you to focus on the question I'm asking.
00:04:51.200 How do you force a group of deep-rooted socialists?
00:04:56.660 Can you pull up that CNN poll that just came out yesterday that Snyder showed us
00:05:00.540 that a third of Democrats now, what was the word, not accept or identify?
00:05:05.620 They identify as democratic socialists.
00:05:07.420 They identify as democratic socialists.
00:05:11.240 They identify as democratic socialists.
00:05:13.400 Was that a video or was it a article?
00:05:15.640 It was an article.
00:05:16.880 Is this one?
00:05:17.580 Okay.
00:05:17.880 A third of Democrats now identify as democratic socialists.
00:05:22.320 Go a little bit lower.
00:05:23.380 About a third of Democrats.
00:05:24.520 Zoom in a little bit if you could.
00:05:27.500 Identify as democratic socialists.
00:05:28.960 They're some of the party's staunchest supporters,
00:05:30.960 but many are also raring for party overhaul at a time when the democratic socialists
00:05:35.520 are seeing new momentum at polls.
00:05:37.720 Tom, many school teachers are Democratic Socialists.
00:05:42.160 They're the driving force.
00:05:43.200 That's right.
00:05:43.540 If a third of these guys identify as Democratic Socialists,
00:05:47.000 I'm willing to bet a half of school teachers in public schools
00:05:50.560 are Democratic Socialists.
00:05:51.980 How do you get them to say bad things about socialism and communism?
00:05:55.900 It is incredibly difficult,
00:05:57.280 and the state of Florida is about to have a head-on collision
00:05:59.660 with the Teachers Union in Florida.
00:06:01.060 I agree.
00:06:01.540 They're going to have a head-on collision.
00:06:03.300 and what they're going to have to do, the state needs a strong leader at the education level and
00:06:10.100 at the governor level. We can't step back. DeSantis is taking the first steps and we need
00:06:15.300 we need fair debates and fair review of all of our candidates for governors so that the people
00:06:20.400 can make a decision. Because one of the things we want the governor to say is I will support this
00:06:26.460 and I will go head to head with the teachers union and teachers that don't want to comply with this
00:06:31.500 are not following the policies of the state of Florida
00:06:34.720 and have forfeited your opportunity to, hang on, Pat,
00:06:38.160 hold a teaching credential issued by the state in the state of Florida.
00:06:42.340 And you're going to have a head-on collision between that.
00:06:45.280 It's a collision I welcome.
00:06:46.960 It's going to create up a lot of dust.
00:06:48.640 But you're going to have parents that I think are reacting to this in the right way
00:06:53.040 because what you're going to see is kids come home and say,
00:06:57.840 well, they said this, this, and this.
00:06:59.160 And conservative parents that don't have the resources to send their kids to a private school or a parochial school or a conservative school are going to say, WTF?
00:07:08.860 Governor DeSantis said that this isn't happening.
00:07:10.980 Well, Mom, the teacher just said this, this, and this about socialism.
00:07:13.860 And it was Purple Hair Day.
00:07:15.040 It's going to be nasty.
00:07:15.760 It's going to be nasty.
00:07:16.900 And so how do you do it?
00:07:19.240 The state has to terminate or censure teachers that don't follow the law.
00:07:24.280 But the teacher's union is going to jump in front of it, so we have a war coming.
00:07:29.160 Yeah, I think it's going to be nasty because you can't get socialists and communists to not talk about socialism and communism.
00:07:35.300 They can't help themselves.
00:07:36.380 They love it.
00:07:36.860 But, you know, Pat, I've got to get in here because this is one of the things I talk about a lot.
00:07:43.360 Why do we have this problem to begin with?
00:07:45.080 And I think that's what everybody is struggling in.
00:07:46.760 Where is this popularity of socialism coming from?
00:07:48.980 And so part of the explanation that's been put forward is we don't teach socialism in school.
00:07:53.480 So if we teach socialism in school, the young people won't fall for it.
00:07:56.020 And therefore, we can.
00:07:56.520 No, I think, again, it's misidentifying the problem here.
00:07:59.800 The reason why socialism is rising in popularity is because what the Marxists are saying about the economic situation in this country and around the world resonates with most people, a lot of people, especially young people.
00:08:09.980 The economy sucks, and nobody will say so.
00:08:12.980 We talk about the affordability crisis.
00:08:14.840 Guess what?
00:08:15.720 It falls right into the Marxist rhetoric.
00:08:18.700 If you know anything about what Marx is and what Marx actually said,
00:08:22.360 what he said about capitalism was that capitalism always needs new markets to expand toward
00:08:26.820 because there's always this idea you need more and more and more profits.
00:08:29.740 They call it infinite growth.
00:08:31.260 Well, Marx said eventually you run out of markets, you run out of land to conquer,
00:08:34.320 you don't have any more markets.
00:08:35.500 So what is a capitalist going to do at that point?
00:08:38.380 Well, they call it end-stage capitalism.
00:08:39.780 You go online, you see end-stage capitalism, early-stage capitalism, everyone.
00:08:43.840 What marks end-stage capitalism?
00:08:45.800 When the capitalists have no more markets to exploit, because they call it exploitation,
00:08:50.060 they start turning their exploitation inward.
00:08:52.700 And when they turn their exploitation inward, that means that they cut the salaries and
00:08:57.080 wages of all their employees.
00:08:58.460 They exploit their employees now because they have no more markets to exploit.
00:09:02.120 So the average young person on the street who has massive amounts of student loans,
00:09:05.920 they're working at Starbucks, they can't get a job, they can't get even somebody to
00:09:09.040 call them back.
00:09:09.540 we talked about this before the medium age of a first-time homebuyer is fucking 40 so the average
00:09:15.520 person on the street is saying you know what that freaking marks guy it matches the reality that i'm
00:09:20.160 seeing rather than what i hear from the mainstream which is look at the stock market stock market's
00:09:23.940 booming the economy's terrific that's why we have a socialism problem because what these people are
00:09:28.620 being taught fits closer to their experience than what they hear from everybody i admonish people on
00:09:34.500 the right to get this correct admit the economy sucks and that's the reason why we have a social
00:09:39.360 They have a hard time doing that, and they don't think it's a real thing.
00:09:42.260 It's a real thing that's taking place.
00:09:42.480 I know.
00:09:42.800 I know it is.
00:09:43.640 That's what needs to be.
00:09:44.700 That's when he's.
00:09:45.100 Yeah, affordability is a myth.
00:09:46.600 Affordability is just something the leftists use.
00:09:48.040 The Democrats.
00:09:48.480 Be very, very.
00:09:49.640 I said this the last two months, and I said if Rubio or Vance, if one of them comes out and says the following,
00:09:58.720 and says anybody under the age of 30, you're not paying any federal income taxes until you turn 30 years old.
00:10:05.360 Now, that's going to be a cost.
00:10:07.020 But that's going to get the youth to say, wait, that's a concern.
00:10:09.440 You guys saw the other day that Hochul said no tax on tips,
00:10:12.060 and they asked, is this a Trump thing?
00:10:13.340 She said, I'm not giving a Trump.
00:10:14.180 This is my idea.
00:10:15.000 And they're like, wait a minute, you didn't come up with this idea.
00:10:17.320 Somebody on the right needs to give the message on affordability
00:10:19.820 because watch what's being said in college campuses right now by young girls.
00:10:24.020 I'm going to play you two clips.
00:10:25.160 Again, Nick Shirley out there doing great work,
00:10:26.780 and for some of you guys that love Nick Shirley, go Manect him.
00:10:30.480 He's on Manect.
00:10:31.480 Type his name, Nick Shirley.
00:10:32.980 He responds back to pretty much 100% messages on Manect,
00:10:35.720 and that's your way of supporting him.
00:10:37.560 People think Nick Scherl is a decamillion and he's able to do this.
00:10:40.100 He needs support as much as possible.
00:10:41.800 But watch this interview he does with this girl here.
00:10:44.000 Go for it.
00:10:44.420 Tell me how you feel about this young girl.
00:10:46.560 ...is on the rise, and what do you think about communism?
00:10:49.040 I think communism sells.
00:10:50.640 It's such a simple idea and message.
00:10:52.860 It obviously doesn't work at all,
00:10:54.500 but it's something that you could so easily say to a young, naive college person
00:10:58.340 or young person in general.
00:10:59.700 You can say everything should be free and health care should be free
00:11:03.660 and universal and education should be free.
00:11:06.180 But people don't really understand the ramifications behind that statement.
00:11:09.860 So, I mean, this is nothing new.
00:11:11.500 People have been trying to sell the idea of socialism and communism for years and years
00:11:15.200 and years.
00:11:16.080 I mean, obviously, in pre-Soviet Russia, you had communism.
00:11:20.000 That's where a lot of it started.
00:11:21.520 You had the Mensheviks and the Bolsheviks.
00:11:23.580 And the Mensheviks were kind of like your mainstream run-of-the-mill Democrat.
00:11:28.400 And then you had the Bolsheviks.
00:11:29.460 This was way back in like the 1800s, 1900s.
00:11:31.920 and the Bolsheviks came in.
00:11:33.760 They were kind of like the DSA activists of today,
00:11:35.980 and they said, well, the Mensheviks and the Democrats
00:11:39.640 aren't being radical enough, and they aren't promising you
00:11:41.860 all the things that we're promising you.
00:11:43.340 We can give you free education and universal health care
00:11:45.820 and all of these great things, and then they never deliver.
00:11:48.360 So that happened back in the day.
00:11:50.060 It's just like a recurring ideology.
00:11:53.400 History is a big, fat circle, and it's happening again
00:11:56.140 because it's such an easy thing to tell, but it's never worked.
00:11:58.280 Now, you can pause it right there because this can go for two minutes.
00:11:59.180 I want to give you the complete counter of this with another girl that he asked a question.
00:12:04.860 I just want you to see.
00:12:05.820 This is a student at NYU, well-known school.
00:12:10.620 Complete 180 of a response.
00:12:12.420 Go for it.
00:12:14.860 Let's just say somebody who has raped a woman.
00:12:18.760 Would you like them to be out in the street?
00:12:20.600 I think my answer is yes, even though that's a challenging answer to say.
00:12:24.620 So if you got raped, would you like your rapist to be out in the street?
00:12:27.740 Well, like, let me finish because I have been raped and they are out in the street and I'm not sure like them going to jail is a solution to like whatever is going on inside their heart or even my own heart that like contributed to that experience that I'm having.
00:12:43.560 And I don't want more people to get raped, but I don't know for certain that going into a jail in the United States is going to shift anything inside of their operating system.
00:12:57.000 so that they'll make a different choice again.
00:13:00.420 Wow, thank you guys so much for your time.
00:13:03.000 Is there one last message you'd like to give the people
00:13:05.380 about potential the rise of communism
00:13:07.360 or freeing the people inside the prisons?
00:13:09.920 Just like free yourself from the own prison in your heart
00:13:13.280 and then maybe we can...
00:13:14.700 I was raped and I'm totally cool
00:13:18.700 with letting the rapists out in the streets
00:13:20.200 because, hey...
00:13:21.580 But this goes back to Snyder
00:13:23.840 and what he's talking about is
00:13:26.000 are people born with these ideas?
00:13:28.340 No.
00:13:28.700 Or does somebody sell you on these ideas?
00:13:31.180 And if somebody sold you on these ideas,
00:13:33.640 what percentage of that influences parents?
00:13:35.780 What percentage of that influences teachers?
00:13:37.680 That's the real question.
00:13:38.900 And what percentage is experience?
00:13:40.500 Again, she's exactly right.
00:13:42.340 We've been hearing the communist message over and over again.
00:13:44.700 Communism got very popular when?
00:13:47.220 In the 1930s.
00:13:48.840 Why was communism popular?
00:13:49.820 In the United States.
00:13:50.860 You're right.
00:13:51.100 In the United States.
00:13:52.100 A couple of times a membership spike.
00:13:52.820 Can you pull up communism membership spikes in the U.S.?
00:13:57.280 My point is that communism spikes in popularity when it matches people's lived experience.
00:14:02.760 What you say is, hell, the situation sucks.
00:14:05.260 Let's try something radical.
00:14:06.880 Put yourself in the shoes of a young person today.
00:14:08.840 Wouldn't you say, yeah, hell, I'd like some free health care or some free this or free that
00:14:12.540 because I can't get that on myself.
00:14:14.220 I can't get it on myself.
00:14:15.460 A house, a car, the experience that my parents had is completely out of reach.
00:14:20.320 I have no hope.
00:14:21.040 that that message so what she was saying is that the what has changed here is that communism they've
00:14:27.400 been selling i remember when i was in school in the 1980s they sold us these ideas too nobody fell
00:14:31.900 for it because in the 1980s the economy didn't suck everybody could see that you know we had
00:14:36.140 the soviet union over here that has bread lines you got the united states is legitimately booming
00:14:40.620 prosperity spreading through the world communism is going to sell in that type of environment
00:14:43.840 what has changed is the message now sells because it matches too many people's experience yeah that's
00:14:50.580 the reason and by the way if you look at the number right there it shows uh 1919 1921 the
00:14:55.240 russian revolution inspired 20 to 30 000 memberships in america went up to 40 000 plus 33 to 37 and then
00:15:01.860 it went to 85 000 and 42 75 047 this is during the soviet alliance during world war ii and then
00:15:10.900 it dropped in 2016 17 when trump got elected to two to five thousand covid went up to five to
00:15:16.480 fifteen thousand i'm willing to bet today it is researched and people are entertaining this idea
00:15:23.360 part of it is brainwashing part of it is actual challenges in the economy and they're offering a
00:15:27.460 solution and uh no matter how much people say about um what's his name mom donnie what did mom
00:15:33.540 donnie say the other day about grocery stores that we didn't talk about what did he suggest
00:15:36.920 30 he's they're released a searchable online oh to make 30 uh owned immigrant owned 30 percent
00:15:46.340 less uh grocery stores and then the other immigrants in the neighborhood that have all
00:15:50.740 these shops the bodegas the bodegas are like wait a minute you're going to undercut us and now they're
00:15:55.440 talking crap about him so it's immigrant versus immigrant and they're talking class action suit
00:15:58.760 saying you are intentionally you know um uh you know dropping your prices in an effort to throw
00:16:05.840 me out of business and now the city's going to have to prove oh no that's not what we're doing
00:16:09.260 that's not what's going on but that's the net effect of it so this is heading to the courts
00:16:12.960 and there are independent grocers let's find it so if you think socialism is great just look
00:16:17.920 downstream look at the outcome look at what's going on look at the growth of conservatism but
00:16:22.460 not nearly fast enough pat in europe in the elections but it's an uphill batter battle you
00:16:27.980 have to get in front of it now better yeah adam thoughts well that that beautiful girl that spoke
00:16:35.020 initially she's absolutely right and then you have that just whatever she was uh it's sad but
00:16:41.880 true but the reality is capitalism and free markets is beautiful and communism is ugly there's another
00:16:49.580 picture i'd like to show i don't know if we have that when the fox news uh interview was interviewing
00:16:54.040 the head of the dsa or one of the people there we could show that in a second but communism sounds
00:16:58.920 good it's kind of there you go right there capitalism is the beautiful girl in the in the
00:17:02.780 yellow where communism the the head of the dsa co-chair is whatever that is in the red glasses
00:17:09.020 right there communism is basically you're taking a girl home and you wake up and it's a dude because
00:17:14.880 it sounds great uh on the surface and you wake up and next thing you know you got some sore body
00:17:19.640 parts but adam whatever personal experiences this is not the place for so you're saying the crying
00:17:25.720 the crying game was a movie about communism why do you think i'm such a capitalist that's subversive
00:17:30.640 communism has killed at least 100 million people and they show up in your house unannounced not a
00:17:36.200 good luck. But you said 62% of people under 30 view, and the Democratic Party view socialism
00:17:45.440 favorably, identify as socialist. Is that what it was? This whole identifying as, identifying as a
00:17:51.760 man, there's a problem here. Look, I live in Miami. I went to school in Florida. I wish that
00:17:57.320 I learned about the horrors of communism and the 100 million people that have been killed because
00:18:02.660 of communism but i had to learn on the streets the school of hard knocks do you know how many
00:18:06.760 soviets basically fled russia moved to miami cubans venezuelans uh there's a lot of red pill
00:18:14.560 communities here to kind of like circle back communism is capitalism is basically teaching
00:18:20.540 somebody how to go up and talk to a girl hey man this is what girls like here's what you got to do
00:18:25.860 be respectful be firm whereas communism is basically saying yeah just go sexually assault
00:18:31.460 women that's what they like it's a it's a some weird analogies at times that you lose me like
00:18:37.360 i'm about to be a communist after that what are you talking about oh no no sign me up
00:18:42.660 you should like pretty women my goodness not chicks with sticks and also it'll make sense
00:18:48.200 in a minute yeah can i piggyback on top what can i let me just tell this funny story don't piggyback
00:18:52.200 on a communist i got 30 30 seconds i'll give it to you to wrap up and then we got to finish up
00:18:56.520 had a friend of mine when i was in the army this guy poor guy saved two years of money because
00:19:01.420 His dream was to go to Brazil, to go to that annual,
00:19:04.240 whatever that thing is that happens in Brazil.
00:19:05.880 What did it call it?
00:19:06.180 Oh, Carnaval in Rio.
00:19:07.620 So he's like, dude, I got to go to Carnaval.
00:19:09.300 So I spent my money.
00:19:10.320 He didn't.
00:19:10.820 He saved his money.
00:19:12.100 Saved his money, goes to Carnaval.
00:19:13.800 Goes there for three weeks.
00:19:14.880 He uses military vacation time.
00:19:16.160 It's a long time to go to Carnaval.
00:19:17.660 Vinny, this guy comes back.
00:19:19.020 Oh, no.
00:19:19.780 And I'm like, so, man, tell me.
00:19:21.180 I'm just waiting to hear all the awesome stories.
00:19:24.220 And he's a little bit shaken by it.
00:19:26.400 Oh, no.
00:19:27.320 I said, B, what happened?
00:19:29.340 He says, well, listen, I met this beautiful girl.
00:19:31.900 I said, really?
00:19:32.520 And then he says, well, then, you know, we went back.
00:19:35.620 And then I had no idea that this beautiful girl had a dangling.
00:19:39.880 No.
00:19:40.460 I said, you're kidding me.
00:19:41.520 He said, no.
00:19:42.420 I said, so is it a dream?
00:19:44.260 Are you ever going to go back to the carnival again?
00:19:45.960 Or he says, I will never go back to that place ever again.
00:19:48.960 So to some of the people that are watching, just brace for impact.
00:19:52.640 You know, when you go, if you choose to go to carnival,
00:19:55.220 there's like, what did he call it?
00:19:56.980 The cup check?
00:19:57.800 The cup check?
00:19:58.620 Like, do a cup check.
00:19:59.760 Hey, PBD.
00:20:00.840 My goodness.
00:20:01.420 I told you that story in confidence, and I was supposed to be our little superstar.
00:20:05.080 I thought it was, listen, it's a perfect timing.
00:20:08.040 Can you imagine that you have to, in some places, you have to.
00:20:11.380 Anyways, I don't know how the hell we got there, but Adam's weird analogy of capitalism and communism.
00:20:15.640 It goes back to 1968.
00:20:17.420 There's a great song by the Kinks called Lola.
00:20:19.480 Go listen to it.
00:20:20.880 This problem has been going on for decades.
00:20:23.660 All right, so Lola made a comment in Brazil.
00:20:25.600 Go ahead, Vinny.
00:20:26.300 That was another story.
00:20:27.280 It was a quick thing about Bumdani.
00:20:29.300 Do you guys, and Connor, can you look this up?
00:20:31.020 He released a searchable online database to make it easy for everybody to look up.
00:20:35.080 You know the New York property owners that have second homes that are going to go for that tax?
00:20:39.100 He released it.
00:20:40.720 Basically, it made it easier for people to find them all in one place.
00:20:44.420 This comes after he published the 100 worst New York City landlords.
00:20:47.400 He publicly calling out landlords.
00:20:48.960 So this is, by the way, and it's piggybacking off of what you said, Jeff.
00:20:51.560 It's not about transparency.
00:20:52.780 He's creating villains.
00:20:54.080 You keep telling people that landlords and wealthy property owners are the reason that they're struggling.
00:20:57.720 Then you hand them a public mat showing them where these people live.
00:21:03.020 He's purposely saying, hey, listen, there's the rich people.
00:21:05.920 Here are the enemy.
00:21:06.880 Go and find them.
00:21:07.560 It's the same communist playbook.
00:21:09.000 You pick a group, blame them for society's problems, publicly identify them,
00:21:12.920 and then turn them into the enemy and say to the people, hey, go find these people.
00:21:16.840 He knows what he's doing.
00:21:17.700 He knows what he's doing.
