  • 00:00:03
    New clickbait wasteland who we love and
  • 00:00:06
    support in the Bronx. Probably going to
  • 00:00:08
    be annoying because it's the Bronx.
  • 00:00:11
    Hey, today I'm in the Bronx asking
  • 00:00:12
    people about the mayoral election in New
  • 00:00:14
    York City. Uh, this is a really
  • 00:00:16
    interesting area because in the 2024
  • 00:00:19
    presidential
  • 00:00:19
    Why is it so hard for Dems to come to
  • 00:00:20
    grips with the new political reality?
  • 00:00:22
    Can't just be Apac. It's Apac. I mean,
  • 00:00:24
    it's it's it's corportocracy, but like
  • 00:00:26
    Apac being the loudest of those
  • 00:00:28
    corporate voices. Yeah, for sure. Pretty
  • 00:00:30
    much just that. I mean there look in a
  • 00:00:32
    system where basically every politician
  • 00:00:35
    has to fall in line inevitably just as a
  • 00:00:37
    natural like selection kind of deal, you
  • 00:00:39
    will end up having politicians that are
  • 00:00:41
    entirely useless um griping little
  • 00:00:45
    bureaucrats whose only job is to accept
  • 00:00:47
    money from uh corporate interests. like
  • 00:00:49
    you you you it's it's not as though by
  • 00:00:52
    having decades and decades and decades
  • 00:00:54
    of selection towards that kind of
  • 00:00:55
    corruption, you're then going to have a
  • 00:00:57
    a base of people who go, "Oh my god,
  • 00:01:00
    there's a new political zeitgeist and we
  • 00:01:02
    need to follow it." And it takes all it
  • 00:01:04
    requires is betraying all of our
  • 00:01:05
    principles and donors. Not going to
  • 00:01:07
    happen.
  • 00:01:08
    Election. Uh there are three different
  • 00:01:10
    precincts here around this neighborhood.
  • 00:01:12
    And although all the precincts voted for
  • 00:01:14
    Kla Harris, uh there were significant
  • 00:01:17
    swings in votes toward Trump. So in one
  • 00:01:20
    of the precincts there was a 42 point
  • 00:01:22
    swing toward Trump between 2020 and
  • 00:01:24
    2024.
  • 00:01:25
    In another precinct there was a plus 41
  • 00:01:27
    swing toward Trump. And in another
  • 00:01:29
    there's a plus 32 swing toward Trump.
  • 00:01:32
    Now in the 2025 mayor
  • 00:01:34
    the three people in this one be crazy.
  • 00:01:35
    Do you think that by spoiling the
  • 00:01:37
    contents of the video you're improving
  • 00:01:39
    the viewing experience? Do you typically
  • 00:01:40
    do that when watching movies with
  • 00:01:41
    friends? Do you say like dog the third
  • 00:01:44
    act twist in this one goes hard. I'm
  • 00:01:47
    watching the video
  • 00:01:48
    primary. Two of those precincts voted
  • 00:01:51
    for Cuomo.
  • 00:01:52
    Sorry. More significant margin and one
  • 00:01:54
    by a lesser margin.
  • 00:01:56
    And then one of the precincts voted for
  • 00:01:57
    Mumani and he won that area by one vote.
  • 00:02:00
    So I'm talking to people about the
  • 00:02:02
    general election. And you may actually
  • 00:02:04
    recognize this background behind me
  • 00:02:06
    because after the 2024 presidential
  • 00:02:08
    election, Zoron came here and he talked
  • 00:02:11
    to voters about um their
  • 00:02:13
    That's right. This was one of his first
  • 00:02:15
    breakout videos. Yeah, that's right. I I
  • 00:02:17
    remember this. I remember this. I mean,
  • 00:02:18
    maybe it was like a similar looking one,
  • 00:02:20
    I guess, but I um Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
  • 00:02:22
    concerns. And a lot of people said that
  • 00:02:24
    they were just kind of disappointed with
  • 00:02:26
    the Democratic party that they were more
  • 00:02:28
    focused on cost of living and economic
  • 00:02:29
    issues. So, I'm curious to see whether
  • 00:02:32
    those issues are still resonating with
  • 00:02:33
    people and what they're thinking about
  • 00:02:36
    the general election in November.
  • 00:02:37
    It's not your responsibility to tell
  • 00:02:39
    people inter how to interact with their
  • 00:02:41
    friends. Actually, I disagree. I think
  • 00:02:42
    that mentality is why we're in the ship
  • 00:02:44
    pit we are now where everyone's
  • 00:02:45
    antisocial. No one knows how to act in
  • 00:02:47
    public. Nobody knows how to make
  • 00:02:48
    friends. It's this um you I got mine.
  • 00:02:51
    It's not your business to tell me. No, I
  • 00:02:52
    disagree. Actually, every human being on
  • 00:02:54
    Earth's lives are my business and vice
  • 00:02:56
    versa. All right. If you're being a
  • 00:02:58
    [ __ ] to your friends, that is my
  • 00:03:00
    business. Okay? There are knock-on
  • 00:03:01
    effects you can't even begin to
  • 00:03:03
    perceive. What if the great
  • 00:03:04
    grandchildren of your friends who are uh
  • 00:03:06
    uh tainted by the the wretched behavior
  • 00:03:09
    you exhibit now are annoying to my
  • 00:03:11
    great-grandchildren? Okay. I I reject
  • 00:03:13
    this premise. I actually think
  • 00:03:15
    everything is my business and I will
  • 00:03:16
    judge you.
  • 00:03:17
    Are there any candidates who you've
  • 00:03:19
    heard about who you're leaning toward
  • 00:03:20
    for the general election?
  • 00:03:21
    Well, I'm definitely leaning towards the
  • 00:03:24
    new one, the 33y old, I forget his name.
  • 00:03:26
    You
  • 00:03:27
    Yes.
  • 00:03:28
    He's fresh. He's new. He's energetic.
  • 00:03:32
    Adams.
  • 00:03:34
    Yeah. Just with him moving to
  • 00:03:37
    independent says a lot cuz he knows
  • 00:03:40
    Democrats are not going to go for him.
  • 00:03:42
    Not after what he did. So,
  • 00:03:45
    what did you think about Andrew Cuomo?
  • 00:03:47
    I love Andrew Cuomo. I feel so bad that
  • 00:03:50
    uh he didn't I mean, he was there, but
  • 00:03:53
    he didn't get the prize. So, you know, I
  • 00:03:57
    think for the general election, this guy
  • 00:04:00
    is young. He's enter.
  • 00:04:02
    Listen, okay, it's called vote blue no
  • 00:04:04
    matter who. You can't be mad at her for
  • 00:04:05
    being consistent.
  • 00:04:07
    He gravitates a lot of young people. And
  • 00:04:09
    that's what Washington needs. They need
  • 00:04:12
    young blood, new blood, and and people
  • 00:04:14
    that are aware of what we're going
  • 00:04:17
    through, you know, the needs of New
  • 00:04:19
    York.
  • 00:04:20
    So, um, Andrew Cuomo, it looks like he's
  • 00:04:23
    still running and maybe could run as an
  • 00:04:25
    independent between mom and
  • 00:04:27
    probably vote for him.
  • 00:04:28
    For Cuomo?
  • 00:04:29
    Yeah. Because he was governor,
  • 00:04:32
    so who knows the city better than he
  • 00:04:34
    does?
  • 00:04:34
    Ah,
  • 00:04:35
    a little skeptical. Not about corruption
  • 00:04:39
    as much, but I'm pretty sure he learns
  • 00:04:42
    his lesson when it comes to womanizing
  • 00:04:44
    and stuff like that. Mhm.
  • 00:04:46
    So I would lean towards him.
  • 00:04:49
    You know,
  • 00:04:50
    listen, he's stopped being Italian.
  • 00:04:52
    Okay. He's learned to no long he's no
  • 00:04:54
    longer Italian.
  • 00:04:57
    So as an independent, if that's what
  • 00:04:59
    he's going to do because I I heard
  • 00:05:01
    that's what he was going to do, I I I
  • 00:05:03
    would lean towards him before I lean
  • 00:05:05
    towards Adams ever.
  • 00:05:07
    And between Adams and Mumani, you would
  • 00:05:09
    go
  • 00:05:10
    I would go with Mandani. Oh, for sure.
  • 00:05:13
    That's for sure. Um, so what's the top
  • 00:05:15
    issue to you as a New Yorker?
  • 00:05:18
    The the the all the hikes, the rent
  • 00:05:20
    hikes are
  • 00:05:22
    Oh my god, man.
  • 00:05:23
    They're just unbelievable. you know, the
  • 00:05:26
    rents, uh, uh, price gouging, you know,
  • 00:05:31
    schools, you know, these kids, you know,
  • 00:05:33
    they they need help, you know, and if if
  • 00:05:39
    that I know I know Cuomo can do it cuz
  • 00:05:42
    he's a powerhouse and he's mad
  • 00:05:43
    experienced.
  • 00:05:44
    It's cra It's crazy, dude. It's cra
  • 00:05:50
    I can't No, it is fried. They're
  • 00:05:52
    chocked. The whole goddamn country, the
  • 00:05:54
    world, I guess she'll come around. I
  • 00:05:57
    hope so. I hope so.
  • 00:05:59
    But the young blood, you got to
  • 00:06:02
    sometimes give them a break. And if he
  • 00:06:05
    were to take it, I would be okay with
  • 00:06:08
    that. I definitely would be disappointed
  • 00:06:11
    with Adams if he were to take it, which
  • 00:06:13
    I doubt very much because there are a
  • 00:06:15
    lot of people that are disappointed with
  • 00:06:17
    him. If you don't mind sharing, uh, who
  • 00:06:19
    did you vote for in the 2024
  • 00:06:21
    presidential election?
  • 00:06:23
    Well, Harris,
  • 00:06:25
    for sure.
  • 00:06:25
    Is there a rhetorical way we can address
  • 00:06:27
    creeps like Trump and Cuomo? No. Voters
  • 00:06:29
    don't care if people are rapists. They
  • 00:06:31
    just don't. It's like this is this has
  • 00:06:33
    been demonstrated over and over and over
  • 00:06:34
    and over again. Um, they literally do
  • 00:06:37
    not care if a person is a rapist. A
  • 00:06:39
    person, even women will will disbelieve
  • 00:06:41
    women who accuse them. Voters are pro-
  • 00:06:44
    rape. If anything, it shows that you've
  • 00:06:46
    got the gumption. um to to get things
  • 00:06:48
    moving forward to the to the voter. You
  • 00:06:50
    know, they do not care.
  • 00:06:52
    You think I wanted that lunatic in
  • 00:06:53
    there? We are suffering and it's three
  • 00:06:56
    more years of his craziness. You know,
  • 00:06:59
    look at what's h what's happened and he
  • 00:07:01
    hasn't even been there a full year and
  • 00:07:03
    he's created such chaos. But those are
  • 00:07:06
    smoke screens for the illegal things
  • 00:07:08
    that he's doing that he's not saying
  • 00:07:10
    anything about because he's not letting
  • 00:07:12
    anybody know. I'm very aware. I pay very
  • 00:07:15
    close attention to politics. I'm sure
  • 00:07:17
    you have to nowadays, you know, because
  • 00:07:19
    you have to know who's going to be
  • 00:07:21
    running because that goes
  • 00:07:22
    I mean, she seems nice, right? Like with
  • 00:07:24
    this is this is far from the worst. This
  • 00:07:26
    is far from the worst.
  • 00:07:30
    That take out of your pocket. And right
  • 00:07:32
    now he's taking out of our pocket and
  • 00:07:34
    making the wealthier wealthier. That's
  • 00:07:36
    the opposite of Robin Hood. You know,
  • 00:07:39
    take from the rich and give to the poor.
  • 00:07:40
    He's taking from the poor and giving to
  • 00:07:42
    the rich. And that just makes no sense.
  • 00:07:45
    What's your name?
  • 00:07:46
    My name is Corey with a K. Cory G.
  • 00:07:48
    Nice to meet you. And do you live in
  • 00:07:49
    this area?
  • 00:07:50
    I do. I live in the area. I work in the
  • 00:07:51
    community shelter.
  • 00:07:53
    Work as community activist.
  • 00:07:55
    Okay. So, you're pretty, you know,
  • 00:07:57
    tapped into the politics of this area. I
  • 00:07:58
    was curious, who do you support for
  • 00:08:00
    mayor? Um, and did you vote in the
  • 00:08:02
    primary?
  • 00:08:02
    I didn't vote. Um, but I I really wasn't
  • 00:08:05
    a fond of Mer Adams either. He was cool,
  • 00:08:08
    but certain things that he did was good
  • 00:08:10
    and certain things I didn't really like.
  • 00:08:12
    far as the new guy, Mr. uh Mad Ramy, I
  • 00:08:15
    don't know how to pronounce
  • 00:08:15
    Mani. Mani about that. Um
  • 00:08:18
    I don't really know if that's going to
  • 00:08:20
    work with the whole socialist thing
  • 00:08:22
    because some of the ideas as far as like
  • 00:08:24
    small business owner. I'm also a small
  • 00:08:25
    business owner. If you want to take it
  • 00:08:27
    and and have the state control things
  • 00:08:29
    like that, that won't be good for people
  • 00:08:31
    who want to have their own small
  • 00:08:32
    business. So I think that a socialism
  • 00:08:34
    full out socialism wouldn't work for
  • 00:08:36
    America in my opin and for this city.
  • 00:08:38
    Petite Bourgeoa doing what they do best.
  • 00:08:41
    Mamani is literally like pro small
  • 00:08:43
    business. You know it's it's up because
  • 00:08:45
    like a community where you get your
  • 00:08:48
    commodity needs met through small
  • 00:08:50
    businesses is almost certainly healthier
  • 00:08:52
    than one where you get them met through
  • 00:08:54
    giant like transnational corporations.
  • 00:08:56
    But small business owners are
  • 00:08:59
    consistently just as Hitlerite as like
  • 00:09:02
    like if you if you take small business
  • 00:09:04
    owners as like a class the petwa and you
  • 00:09:06
    scale them up to like or or you stack
  • 00:09:08
    them up against I don't know Silicon
  • 00:09:09
    Valley like tech workers or something. I
  • 00:09:11
    don't know. I don't know. It's crazy
  • 00:09:13
    man. They they're so bad at determining
  • 00:09:15
    their I I keep going back to I remember
  • 00:09:18
    this in the neighborhood that I grew up
  • 00:09:20
    in in Beverly Hills there is a
  • 00:09:22
    commercial road. I think it's is it
  • 00:09:23
    Beverly Drive? Is it Robertson? I think
  • 00:09:25
    it's Robertson. Uh, and it's just it's
  • 00:09:27
    got a lot of small mom and pop
  • 00:09:29
    businesses on it, right? And it had
  • 00:09:32
    trees that ran down the uh the length of
  • 00:09:35
    the boulevard, provided shade to the
  • 00:09:37
    parking spots, to the people walking
  • 00:09:38
    down. And these small business owners
  • 00:09:40
    who own the businesses that were covered
  • 00:09:43
    by those trees pushed the city to chop
  • 00:09:45
    the trees down because they were tired
  • 00:09:46
    of having to sweep up leaves. And now
  • 00:09:48
    the entire road is this like barren like
  • 00:09:52
    LA heat on the concrete like pounding
  • 00:09:56
    uh unpleasant. It's crazy. They're just
  • 00:09:58
    so [ __ ] stupid
  • 00:10:01
    in my opinion. I think that might be
  • 00:10:03
    something we have to reconsider, you
  • 00:10:05
    know? It's just kind of just out of
  • 00:10:07
    nowhere. It's really weird.
  • 00:10:08
    So when you say like a state controlled
  • 00:10:10
    business, are you talking about like the
  • 00:10:12
    grocery store proposal?
  • 00:10:13
    Yeah. And like the small mom and pop
  • 00:10:15
    businesses like I grew up in Harlem. you
  • 00:10:17
    don't have a lot of small and mom and
  • 00:10:18
    pop business anymore because everything
  • 00:10:20
    has been taken over by like the big
  • 00:10:22
    businesses like uh health food and all
  • 00:10:25
    this other stuff. So, it's not
  • 00:10:26
    it really doesn't matter who you talk
  • 00:10:27
    to. It doesn't matter what part of the
  • 00:10:29
    country you're in. 99% of the time if
  • 00:10:31
    you ask a person who they support for
  • 00:10:34
    the um presidency or mayorship or
  • 00:10:36
    whatever, they'll give their answer and
  • 00:10:38
    then they'll say essentially because of
  • 00:10:40
    capitalism. They'll say like, "I'm tired
  • 00:10:42
    of capitalism so I'm voting for Trump.
  • 00:10:44
    I'm tired of capitalism so I'm voting
  • 00:10:45
    for Kla Harris. I'm tired of capitalism,
  • 00:10:47
    so I'm voting for Cuomo. I'm tired of
  • 00:10:49
    capitalism, so I'm voting for Eric Adam.
  • 00:10:51
    Like, it every single time, every state,
  • 00:10:54
    every city, it doesn't matter who the
  • 00:10:55
    politician is
  • 00:11:00
    unfair to a person that's a young upand
  • 00:11:02
    cominging uh business owner. It's not as
  • 00:11:03
    It's kind of scary. It's a weird feel
  • 00:11:05
    like we're living in a weird era.
  • 00:11:07
    Yeah. One of his proposals is to cut
  • 00:11:09
    some of the red tape for small
  • 00:11:11
    businesses. Would you be in favor of
  • 00:11:12
    something like that or
  • 00:11:13
    which what is that red tape meaning like
  • 00:11:16
    to
  • 00:11:17
    Jesus Christ? What kind of small
  • 00:11:19
    business do you operate exactly? Is it
  • 00:11:20
    legal? Do you report it to the IRS?
  • 00:11:23
    The permitting that you have to go
  • 00:11:24
    through and all the paperwork. Now
  • 00:11:26
    that'll be cool, but it's just like I
  • 00:11:28
    don't want to get taxed crazy, you know,
  • 00:11:29
    and I don't want want to something my
  • 00:11:31
    business be controlled and taken over by
  • 00:11:33
    the state like you were somewhere where
  • 00:11:35
    everything is controlled by the
  • 00:11:37
    government and it's that's not fair cuz
  • 00:11:39
    it kind of it's just it's not
  • 00:11:41
    encouraging for a person who wants to
  • 00:11:42
    start their own business, you know?
  • 00:11:44
    So, would you vote for the general
  • 00:11:46
    election? Cuomo still seems like he's
  • 00:11:48
    running and then Adams is running again.
  • 00:11:50
    Would you vote for one of those?
  • 00:11:52
    I'd rather go I'd rather go with Adams.
  • 00:11:55
    I'm sorry. And I don't I'm not really
  • 00:11:57
    fond of him, but I would rather go with
  • 00:11:58
    Adams than go with something like that
  • 00:12:00
    because that's just like I it's just I
  • 00:12:02
    don't it's just a lot coming out of
  • 00:12:04
    nowhere and it's just like this guy just
  • 00:12:06
    flew out of nowhere and then he's saying
  • 00:12:07
    all these things and it's just like hey,
  • 00:12:09
    slow down. I just like I feel like I
  • 00:12:10
    need to get to know this person a little
  • 00:12:11
    bit more.
  • 00:12:12
    Riveting,
  • 00:12:12
    you know? I really like someone with
  • 00:12:14
    like more experience.
  • 00:12:15
    Yes, more experience. More experience in
  • 00:12:18
    politics and you know, I would like to
  • 00:12:20
    see someone who has experience with
  • 00:12:21
    running a city, a budget and all of
  • 00:12:23
    these things. I feel like he may be a
  • 00:12:24
    little more cuckoo for cocoa puffs. Like
  • 00:12:26
    I feel like he smokes like like uh
  • 00:12:29
    psychedelics and stuff. I think he needs
  • 00:12:31
    to be somewhere else opposed to running
  • 00:12:32
    a city, you know?
  • 00:12:34
    Yeah.
  • 00:12:34
    If you don't mind me asking, did you
  • 00:12:35
    vote in the 2024 presidential election?
  • 00:12:37
    I didn't. I'm I'm I voted back for I
  • 00:12:40
    voted for Obama twice. After that, I I
  • 00:12:41
    stopped.
  • 00:12:43
    God damn it. I'm just not beating the
  • 00:12:45
    allegations.
  • 00:12:46
    [Laughter]
  • 00:12:49
    It's vote vote black no matter who.
  • 00:12:51
    Actually,
  • 00:12:52
    stop voting. So, I didn't I didn't vote.
  • 00:12:54
    No, I didn't. No.
  • 00:12:55
    This is an interesting interesting area
  • 00:12:57
    because a lot of areas swung from Biden
  • 00:12:59
    to Trump from 2020.
  • 00:13:01
    Last summer, this city, this
  • 00:13:03
    neighborhood looked different when it
  • 00:13:04
    was Biden. And it's just it's politics.
  • 00:13:06
    This is America. You know, one one year
  • 00:13:08
    it may be this this family ruling, next
  • 00:13:11
    year it may be that. It's just you can't
  • 00:13:13
    I don't I don't put my trust in
  • 00:13:14
    politics. I I put it in the most high,
  • 00:13:16
    you know. Okay.
  • 00:13:17
    It's like a reality show right now in
  • 00:13:18
    America.
  • 00:13:19
    Okay.
  • 00:13:20
    What are your top issue? I'll let you go
  • 00:13:21
    then. Um, what are your top issues as a
  • 00:13:23
    New Yorker?
  • 00:13:23
    As a New Yorker, uh, Rent Rent is
  • 00:13:26
    I'm going to lose it, dude.
  • 00:13:29
    Every time.
  • 00:13:32
    Oh my god.
  • 00:13:35
    There's no escape. There's no escape,
  • 00:13:38
    dude.
  • 00:13:40
    Jesus Christ.
  • 00:13:42
    I hate this country. I hate this
  • 00:13:45
    country. I hate religion. I hate voters.
  • 00:13:48
    I hate politics,
  • 00:13:50
    man.
  • 00:13:51
    the re the the reason there are so many
  • 00:13:53
    evil people in politics is because if
  • 00:13:55
    you have a shred of integrity the just
  • 00:13:58
    sheer the reality of dealing with the
  • 00:14:00
    voting population will sand blast you
  • 00:14:03
    into a Hillary Clinton. I like my I'm of
  • 00:14:06
    the opinion that people like Hillary
  • 00:14:08
    Clinton started out earnest and having
  • 00:14:11
    like a vision for the future because
  • 00:14:13
    every young adult does and some people
  • 00:14:16
    just weather the sand blasting better
  • 00:14:18
    than others, right? And you have people
  • 00:14:20
    with an iron will like Bernie Sanders
  • 00:14:22
    who just stay the same for 80 years. And
  • 00:14:24
    then you have people who eventually just
  • 00:14:26
    become like the like you become the
  • 00:14:28
    spherical corporate Democrat like the
  • 00:14:30
    the frictionless uh zero gravity sphere
  • 00:14:33
    that you know the the mathematically
  • 00:14:35
    precise model
  • 00:14:36
    is really high. I was homeless for 2
  • 00:14:38
    years. I literally just moved out of a
  • 00:14:39
    shelter and got my voucher. So housing
  • 00:14:41
    is a big issue for a lot of people and I
  • 00:14:43
    personally know that. um the prices for
  • 00:14:45
    transportation and things like that and
  • 00:14:47
    food. The these are very important
  • 00:14:49
    things that we should be concerned
  • 00:14:50
    about, you know.
  • 00:14:51
    Great.
  • 00:14:52
    Yeah. Thank you so much. I really
  • 00:14:53
    appreciate your time.
  • 00:14:54
    What are your thoughts on this election?
  • 00:14:56
    Uh
  • 00:14:57
    hello. You have a a distinctive look.
  • 00:14:59
    Uh New York better vote Republican or
  • 00:15:01
    Libertarian like the city depends on it
  • 00:15:03
    because uh one more communist or one
  • 00:15:05
    more criminal and this city's done if
  • 00:15:06
    you haven't seen what they've already
  • 00:15:07
    done to it.
  • 00:15:08
    Okay, so this guy voted for um
  • 00:15:12
    fenthanil.
  • 00:15:13
    You can't do all this. You can't have an
  • 00:15:16
    unlawful city. Especially when they're
  • 00:15:17
    up there like Eric Adams screaming out,
  • 00:15:19
    "This is a black run city. Black, black,
  • 00:15:20
    black, black." All the racism they got
  • 00:15:22
    going on. What does your skin color have
  • 00:15:24
    to do with anything? And I love how they
  • 00:15:27
    push all this racism on the Republicans.
  • 00:15:28
    If anybody read a history book, wasn't
  • 00:15:30
    Abraham Lincoln a Republican?
  • 00:15:32
    Holy [ __ ]
  • 00:15:35
    Is he doing a bit? This guy had I'm
  • 00:15:37
    surprised the woman chose him to to for
  • 00:15:39
    for an interview with the enormous
  • 00:15:42
    planet-sized chip he had in his shoulder
  • 00:15:44
    coming into this. Jesus Christ. He
  • 00:15:46
    didn't take any prompting at all. Like
  • 00:15:47
    this guy put no effort into not like
  • 00:15:50
    pretending to not be crazy
  • 00:15:53
    that not Abraham Lincoln. Yeah. Lincoln
  • 00:15:55
    that freed the slaves from the
  • 00:15:57
    Democrats. Like anybody remember basic
  • 00:15:59
    high school history? And uh we're not a
  • 00:16:01
    democracy. We're a constitutional
  • 00:16:03
    republic. You learn that in grade
  • 00:16:04
    school. What happened to people? When
  • 00:16:06
    did they become so stupid? We live in
  • 00:16:08
    idiocracy. Can we get
  • 00:16:10
    Okay, this guy's actually bit Okay, I
  • 00:16:13
    Fent was a bad call. Is Do you think
  • 00:16:15
    it's meth? There's no way this guy is
  • 00:16:18
    all here right now. It's got to be Yeah,
  • 00:16:20
    it's got to be meth. Fent was like a was
  • 00:16:23
    a bad call. I think he's got to be
  • 00:16:25
    tweaking right now.
  • 00:16:27
    Is it Kamacho?
  • 00:16:28
    So, are you um supporting Slewall then?
  • 00:16:31
    Yeah, like Curtis. My problem with him
  • 00:16:33
    is Curtis, leave the weed alone.
  • 00:16:35
    Oh, yeah. I just saw his teeth. Yeah.
  • 00:16:36
    Okay. Seems pretty likely.
  • 00:16:39
    All right. Because here's the problem.
  • 00:16:40
    Here's what Republicans and Democrats of
  • 00:16:41
    Uni Party do. I'm a libertarian. And you
  • 00:16:44
    know what? They both love to attack. The
  • 00:16:46
    left loves to attack the guns and the
  • 00:16:48
    right likes to attack the drugs. If
  • 00:16:50
    you're not hurting nobody, you're not
  • 00:16:52
    stealing from nobody, and there's no
  • 00:16:53
    victim, what's the crime?
  • 00:16:56
    You should be able to own guns, and you
  • 00:16:58
    should be able to smoke your weed just
  • 00:16:59
    fine if you're not a criminal. I'm
  • 00:17:01
    becoming a Leninist. It's very
  • 00:17:04
    difficult. I Oh man, it you really you
  • 00:17:08
    really begin to appreciate how much
  • 00:17:10
    democracy is aberant and like
  • 00:17:12
    authoritarianism is the norm throughout
  • 00:17:13
    human history. Everyone had an emperor
  • 00:17:16
    or a pharaoh or a king or a queen uh or
  • 00:17:19
    something like that. Just a tiny little
  • 00:17:22
    sliver of time where people are like,
  • 00:17:23
    "What if we let average people make
  • 00:17:25
    decisions?" I don't know. Going to have
  • 00:17:27
    to apologize to all the tankies. At
  • 00:17:29
    least I'm honest with my like negative
  • 00:17:31
    polarization. Okay, a lot of them
  • 00:17:33
    they're do they're they're on their like
  • 00:17:35
    [ __ ] dictatorship of the proletariat
  • 00:17:37
    nonsense while they're jerking off
  • 00:17:39
    Stalin. Like you you don't care about
  • 00:17:40
    democracy.
  • 00:17:42
    It's all control patterns from this uni
  • 00:17:44
    party. Okay? They're not your friends.
  • 00:17:46
    It's never for your safety and they work
  • 00:17:48
    for us. They're public servants. We run
  • 00:17:51
    the show. Ask me why I have to go ask a
  • 00:17:54
    public servant that I have to have
  • 00:17:56
    permission to buy a gun, which is my
  • 00:17:58
    second god-given right.
  • 00:18:01
    What happened to this country? People
  • 00:18:02
    wake up.
  • 00:18:04
    So, do you mind me uh if I ask who did
  • 00:18:06
    you vote for in the 2024 election?
  • 00:18:08
    Who was I for?
  • 00:18:09
    Yeah. Or if you voted.
  • 00:18:10
    Oh, I'm Trump at that time because he
  • 00:18:12
    came to the Libertarian Caucus and
  • 00:18:14
    promised some things he was going to do.
  • 00:18:15
    Bitcoin
  • 00:18:16
    which he did.
  • 00:18:17
    And they murdered John McAfee down in
  • 00:18:19
    Spain on me. Suicide.
  • 00:18:22
    Now, here we are. How many months in,
  • 00:18:24
    and we ain't got no Epstein names? P.
  • 00:18:26
    Diddy's going to walk free.
  • 00:18:29
    They all had the McAfee files. How long
  • 00:18:31
    ago? They know who the criminals are.
  • 00:18:35
    Yet, no one's being held accountable
  • 00:18:37
    because no one's above the law. Then, of
  • 00:18:39
    course, if you're a politician or in
  • 00:18:41
    government, if you're a regular old
  • 00:18:43
    citizen and you get caught with a bag of
  • 00:18:44
    weed or a bag of coke or a gun, guess
  • 00:18:47
    where you're going? But all day long
  • 00:18:49
    they're doing drugs, they got guns,
  • 00:18:51
    they're murdering people, they're
  • 00:18:52
    stealing from people. When are we going
  • 00:18:54
    to stand up for ourselves? Our
  • 00:18:56
    forefathers went to civil war over a 6%
  • 00:18:58
    sales tax and them trying to take our
  • 00:19:00
    guns. Well, they done took our guns. And
  • 00:19:02
    what sales what tax are we at now? What?
  • 00:19:04
    65% overall.
  • 00:19:06
    How do you guys feel about labor camps?
  • 00:19:07
    Do you think Do you think it's possible
  • 00:19:09
    to do them, but like woke? I'm just I'm
  • 00:19:11
    just putting out feelers here. Don't boo
  • 00:19:12
    me. me like tilting the dial on the um
  • 00:19:17
    authoritarianism arc and looking back at
  • 00:19:19
    the audience to see if I'm getting
  • 00:19:20
    cheered or booed. I'm just saying, you
  • 00:19:22
    know how RFK Jr. wants to send people
  • 00:19:25
    with ADHD out to like grass fields so
  • 00:19:28
    they can roam and graze peacefully
  • 00:19:29
    without their phone screens or
  • 00:19:31
    something. I just wonder I don't know.
  • 00:19:33
    Is it more than half your income goes to
  • 00:19:36
    this criminal government so they can
  • 00:19:37
    house uh gang members in Manhattan and
  • 00:19:40
    uh high-end luxury rooms while you
  • 00:19:41
    starve? because Democrats care about
  • 00:19:44
    you.
  • 00:19:46
    So if the election came down to Adams
  • 00:19:49
    versus Mum Donnie, which it's kind of
  • 00:19:51
    looking like it will, you need to run.
  • 00:19:53
    Communism is illegal. The the Communism
  • 00:19:56
    Control Act of 1954 already eliminates
  • 00:19:59
    him from that. Number two, our
  • 00:20:01
    Constitution guarantees us a republican
  • 00:20:03
    form of government. And um the thing is,
  • 00:20:06
    if we just start enforcing a law, which
  • 00:20:08
    libertarian by the way. Yeah. Oh, sorry.
  • 00:20:10
    Our government says an ideology is
  • 00:20:12
    illegal because of a law 70 years ago.
  • 00:20:14
    So, actually, no. Listen, okay, all the
  • 00:20:16
    laws about drug ownership, those are
  • 00:20:18
    [ __ ] The laws about gun ownership,
  • 00:20:19
    those are [ __ ] The law from the Red
  • 00:20:21
    Scare, from the McCarthy era, saying
  • 00:20:23
    that you can't be a communist in office.
  • 00:20:25
    That one's good, though.
  • 00:20:26
    Which is the Constitution, we would be
  • 00:20:28
    in a lot better shape. There wouldn't be
  • 00:20:30
    censorship. There wouldn't be gun laws.
  • 00:20:32
    And there sure wouldn't be no goddamn
  • 00:20:34
    communist.
  • 00:20:35
    Now, don't get communism confused with
  • 00:20:38
    social programs. I'm a libertarian. And
  • 00:20:39
    a lot of libertarians don't like social
  • 00:20:40
    programs
  • 00:20:41
    cuz you benefit from the social
  • 00:20:42
    programs, right? You're you're against
  • 00:20:45
    literally any state intervention, but
  • 00:20:47
    you personally probably benefit from a
  • 00:20:48
    bunch of social programs cuz there's no
  • 00:20:51
    way you hold your own income down.
  • 00:20:54
    All same. I'm okay with them. If we're
  • 00:20:56
    the greatest country in the world, we
  • 00:20:58
    don't need homeless and starving. So,
  • 00:21:01
    I'm okay with safety nets. Um, you know,
  • 00:21:04
    it makes me very leftw. I don't care if
  • 00:21:06
    you're gay. I don't care if you're
  • 00:21:07
    black. I don't care. Just don't touch
  • 00:21:09
    kids. God
  • 00:21:10
    Hey, listen. Okay, I'm not a homophobe.
  • 00:21:12
    I don't care if you're gay. Just don't
  • 00:21:14
    kids gays. Just don't Hey, listen gays.
  • 00:21:17
    I'm okay with you as long as you don't
  • 00:21:18
    kids. There's no implicit bias being
  • 00:21:22
    suggested by my my juxosition here. Be
  • 00:21:25
    like if he said, you know, I don't have
  • 00:21:26
    a problem with blacks. Don't just steal
  • 00:21:28
    people's bicycles. You know, like, okay.
  • 00:21:30
    I don't think anyone thought that was
  • 00:21:32
    okay.
  • 00:21:32
    Damn. How hard is it? And leave the kids
  • 00:21:35
    alone. It's their parents' job to talk
  • 00:21:36
    to them about sex. Libertarian, by the
  • 00:21:39
    way.
  • 00:21:40
    You know what I'm saying? Have you ever
  • 00:21:41
    talked to my kid about sex and I catch
  • 00:21:43
    you? What do you think's going to happen
  • 00:21:44
    to you? I'm going to be smiling on my
  • 00:21:46
    murder mug shot just like any older.
  • 00:21:49
    A libertarian, by the way,
  • 00:21:51
    father. You know what I'm saying? It's
  • 00:21:53
    real easy. Don't hurt nobody. Don't
  • 00:21:55
    steal from nobody. Just live your life.
  • 00:21:57
    If we get rid of these victim's crimes
  • 00:21:59
    and these criminal politicians that
  • 00:22:00
    aren't doing anything but living off the
  • 00:22:02
    hardworking backs of men and women,
  • 00:22:03
    maybe we can make a real libertarian
  • 00:22:05
    paradise. Look at
  • 00:22:06
    this guy. This guy really is like a
  • 00:22:08
    phenomenal um case study of
  • 00:22:11
    libertarianism where like the only
  • 00:22:13
    issues on which they personally are
  • 00:22:15
    libertarian are drugs and guns cuz they
  • 00:22:17
    own them and they're okay with social
  • 00:22:19
    programs they benefit from, but on every
  • 00:22:21
    other issue they are as Hitlerite as it
  • 00:22:23
    is possible to be. I don't care about
  • 00:22:25
    gay people, but if like my children are
  • 00:22:27
    taught sexed in class, like every other
  • 00:22:30
    student in every developed country, I'll
  • 00:22:32
    murder you. Okay, fascinating. That
  • 00:22:34
    sounds very libertarian of you. That's
  • 00:22:36
    great. You want to use the state to keep
  • 00:22:38
    people who disagree with you politically
  • 00:22:40
    from running. That's very libertarian of
  • 00:22:41
    you, sir. Very reasonable. Very good.
  • 00:22:43
    Very good.
  • 00:22:44
    El Salvador right now with Bitcoin.
  • 00:22:48
    Um I'm curious. So, how do what do you
  • 00:22:49
    think about this is just about Trump
  • 00:22:51
    like Trump's term so far in terms of
  • 00:22:53
    like supporting libertarian causes? Um
  • 00:22:56
    would you say you're
  • 00:22:57
    like 80% with me right now? Um really
  • 00:22:59
    pissed me off with the bombs dropping in
  • 00:23:01
    Iran. Um, also I want peace over there
  • 00:23:05
    in the Middle East with Israel and Gaza.
  • 00:23:07
    I do not like Netanyahu at all. I think
  • 00:23:10
    he's committing genocide.
  • 00:23:11
    Uhhuh.
  • 00:23:12
    Um, I don't like war. I'm libertarian.
  • 00:23:15
    There's better way to handle things.
  • 00:23:17
    Um, but overall that and I'm not so sure
  • 00:23:20
    I like what he did with the social
  • 00:23:22
    programs recently, but uh, we'll see.
  • 00:23:24
    Incredible. Incredible dude. Guy's like,
  • 00:23:27
    "Well, I think I should get Medicaid."
  • 00:23:30
    See, we'll see. Um, do we have to get
  • 00:23:32
    the illegals out of here? Unfortunately,
  • 00:23:34
    yes.
  • 00:23:35
    Libertarian, by the way.
  • 00:23:37
    Unfortunately, are some of these people
  • 00:23:39
    are they're victims of what the
  • 00:23:40
    Democrats cuz the Democrats told them,
  • 00:23:42
    "How salvageable do you think people
  • 00:23:43
    like this are?" Oh, completely
  • 00:23:44
    unsalvageable. This is this and a lot of
  • 00:23:47
    lefties fall for it because they're
  • 00:23:49
    like, "Oh, see this guy has some issues
  • 00:23:50
    in common." No, he doesn't. This guy's
  • 00:23:52
    animating issues are homophobia, racism,
  • 00:23:55
    and personal convenience. Everything
  • 00:23:56
    else is a legitimizing mechanism. I
  • 00:23:58
    promise you, you would you would
  • 00:23:59
    genuinely have more luck convincing a
  • 00:24:01
    hyperoreia believing 4chan neo-Nazi um
  • 00:24:05
    to be a communist than this guy. Okay? I
  • 00:24:07
    guarantee you. And that's not a joke.
  • 00:24:09
    You you got to understand like there's a
  • 00:24:10
    difference between what people say they
  • 00:24:12
    believe and what their animating issues
  • 00:24:14
    are. And um yeah, it's it's not pretty.
  • 00:24:17
    It's really not. This guy's also lying.
  • 00:24:18
    I don't think he's lying. I just think
  • 00:24:19
    he's kind of crazy. I mean, he's
  • 00:24:21
    obviously not mentally all there, right?
  • 00:24:23
    Is being actually libertarian even
  • 00:24:25
    possible? Sure. They're called
  • 00:24:26
    libertarian socialists. It was the
  • 00:24:28
    original definition of libertarianism
  • 00:24:30
    before it got deliberately hijacked by
  • 00:24:32
    American capitalist libertarians who
  • 00:24:34
    wanted to co-opt the idea of economic
  • 00:24:36
    freedom to mean like what if business
  • 00:24:38
    owners had no regulations and OSHA
  • 00:24:41
    couldn't tell them to not provide fire
  • 00:24:43
    escapes in their factories. It's it's
  • 00:24:45
    it's it's uh it was a very very
  • 00:24:48
    deliberate co-opting of the term
  • 00:24:50
    to come here. The Democrats told them to
  • 00:24:52
    flood the border, right, which made them
  • 00:24:55
    illegally get into the country.
  • 00:24:56
    Uhhuh. I mean, they're v a lot of them
  • 00:24:58
    are victims of what the Democrats did to
  • 00:25:01
    them. But on the other end, remember, a
  • 00:25:03
    lot of countries emptied their prisons
  • 00:25:04
    and psych wards, and where do you think
  • 00:25:06
    they sent their inmates?
  • 00:25:09
    Interesting how this guy um claims that
  • 00:25:11
    the Democrats and Republicans are a uni
  • 00:25:13
    party, but he's repeating verbatim
  • 00:25:15
    multiple Republican talking points that
  • 00:25:17
    pretty much entirely came from Trump.
  • 00:25:19
    Like, that one's straight Trump. That's
  • 00:25:21
    not even like a broader right-wing
  • 00:25:23
    talking point. That's just him listening
  • 00:25:25
    to Trump. Um, I'm curious. So, in terms
  • 00:25:27
    of like free speech, uh, you know,
  • 00:25:30
    something that the mayor, uh, like Eric
  • 00:25:32
    Adams just adopted the IH definition of
  • 00:25:35
    anti-semitism, which basically
  • 00:25:36
    it's a violation of the first amendment.
  • 00:25:38
    You do? Okay.
  • 00:25:39
    Yeah. What? You can't criticize Jewish
  • 00:25:41
    people. You
  • 00:25:43
    can criticize anybody. All right. And in
  • 00:25:45
    America, it's your patriotic duty to
  • 00:25:47
    question your government. They work for
  • 00:25:49
    us. That's why the media is supposed to
  • 00:25:51
    report to us so we can tell our
  • 00:25:52
    representatives what we want our
  • 00:25:53
    government to do. We are the only
  • 00:25:55
    country in the world like that. There's
  • 00:25:57
    several other countries in the world
  • 00:25:58
    with communism. There's several other
  • 00:25:59
    countries with other things. Oh, Norway
  • 00:26:01
    and this. Oh, then take your ass there.
  • 00:26:03
    This is America. This is an outlaw
  • 00:26:05
    country. It's the only country in the
  • 00:26:07
    world where freedom stands last because
  • 00:26:09
    it's an outlaw country. But um we have
  • 00:26:11
    to get all the illegals out to it's just
  • 00:26:13
    completely incoherent. There's not
  • 00:26:14
    really a point in responding to it. It's
  • 00:26:15
    incred incredible content for an
  • 00:26:18
    interview channel though, right?
  • 00:26:19
    A bunch of outlaws from other countries
  • 00:26:21
    was like Scotland, Ireland. I don't care
  • 00:26:23
    where you came from. We came here and we
  • 00:26:24
    all said, "No, you ain't controlling us.
  • 00:26:26
    We got guns and we like our weed."
  • 00:26:28
    I feel bad. You really shouldn't cuz
  • 00:26:30
    like And I'm sorry. I I I'm just really
  • 00:26:32
    anti- noble savage myth right now.
  • 00:26:34
    People like this are generally huge
  • 00:26:36
    pieces of [ __ ] Like people like this
  • 00:26:38
    run reigns of terror on everyone in
  • 00:26:40
    their lives. Um he he said he would kill
  • 00:26:43
    people who like gave sex education to
  • 00:26:45
    his kids. Like his teacher would give
  • 00:26:46
    sex education. Okay, you shouldn't feel
  • 00:26:48
    bad for these people at all. You know,
  • 00:26:50
    the RFK earnest grass-fed, no phones
  • 00:26:53
    allowed, everyone eat your acre of
  • 00:26:56
    grassland plat would probably be better
  • 00:26:59
    for him mentally in the long run. But
  • 00:27:01
    no, yeah, it's these these people are
  • 00:27:02
    just generally not good. No,
  • 00:27:05
    we like our alcohol and we like to be
  • 00:27:07
    wild and this is the wild wild west. So
  • 00:27:09
    if you don't like the wild wild west,
  • 00:27:11
    get out. We're not changing it into one
  • 00:27:13
    of your third world country socialism
  • 00:27:15
    countries. We're not doing it. It
  • 00:27:16
    doesn't work. I don't care how many
  • 00:27:18
    times you college kids go, "Well, we
  • 00:27:19
    never tried real communism." Well, it's
  • 00:27:20
    not communism, democratic socialism.
  • 00:27:22
    Well, Marxism, it doesn't matter how
  • 00:27:24
    many times you change the name and try
  • 00:27:26
    to paint up this piece of if it's a
  • 00:27:29
    right. But you call it a brownie and you
  • 00:27:30
    eat it still tastes like
  • 00:27:32
    ragel.
  • 00:27:33
    It's all you understand? It's all
  • 00:27:36
    control. Communism is an authoritarian
  • 00:27:38
    belief system and the only people who do
  • 00:27:40
    good are people at the top.
  • 00:27:41
    Bro, a 4chan neonazi. You He's not even
  • 00:27:43
    remotely 4chan. I don't know why people
  • 00:27:44
    are saying that. This guy is not even
  • 00:27:46
    slightly 4chan coded. Not even like
  • 00:27:48
    remotely.
  • 00:27:50
    This guy's Twitter coded if anything.
  • 00:27:51
    Also 4chan doesn't mean [ __ ] anymore.
  • 00:27:54
    For 4chan is Nazis, dog. Every site is
  • 00:27:56
    Nazis now. The whole country is Nazis.
  • 00:27:58
    You know what is it? Like for 4chan is
  • 00:28:00
    just like the loser ineffectual subset
  • 00:28:02
    of the Nazis, you know? Like all the
  • 00:28:04
    real Nazis are over there on Twitter
  • 00:28:06
    trying to epically red pill the normies
  • 00:28:09
    with their JQ posting. Okay. Why do you
  • 00:28:11
    only see fat commies at the top and the
  • 00:28:13
    rest of the world's skinny and starving
  • 00:28:15
    and breadlines? Yeah, all these poor
  • 00:28:17
    people that run around. Communism would
  • 00:28:18
    be great for us. Look at the BLM
  • 00:28:20
    movement. They had a communist fist on
  • 00:28:22
    the damn flag and they killed more black
  • 00:28:25
    people than anybody.
  • 00:28:27
    Is the It's true. The BLM movement was
  • 00:28:30
    posting pullp pot numbers. They were the
  • 00:28:32
    the they were doing forced marches of
  • 00:28:34
    black people through American uh you
  • 00:28:37
    know urban communities. Corpses bloating
  • 00:28:39
    on the side of the road. BLM uh
  • 00:28:42
    inquisitors with guns. Keep marching.
  • 00:28:45
    Sorry. They'd be blacks. They'd say like
  • 00:28:46
    keep marching nword. See cuz they could
  • 00:28:49
    say it. I can't say it though. They did
  • 00:28:50
    say that to me though cuz I was at the
  • 00:28:52
    marches.
  • 00:28:52
    That movement was horrible for black
  • 00:28:54
    people. I was like what is wrong with
  • 00:28:56
    you people? It's like no one read B.
  • 00:28:59
    People went to college and lost their
  • 00:29:02
    basic high school history
  • 00:29:04
    because we're not a democracy and you
  • 00:29:06
    know democracy democracy democracy. Our
  • 00:29:08
    forefathers didn't want anything to do
  • 00:29:10
    with democracy.
  • 00:29:11
    I don't know if you know anything about
  • 00:29:12
    that but you should probably read the
  • 00:29:14
    constitution. All right.
  • 00:29:16
    Our forefathers guaranteed us that
  • 00:29:18
    second amendment. Why? Why did they
  • 00:29:20
    guarantee us that we can have any weapon
  • 00:29:21
    we want? What did they just do? They
  • 00:29:25
    just threw out the biggest government,
  • 00:29:26
    the most powerful military in the world
  • 00:29:28
    out of here.
  • 00:29:29
    But now now now
  • 00:29:32
    we have to go. This guy is a channel
  • 00:29:34
    interview. So am I allowed to have this
  • 00:29:36
    military grade firepower? What would you
  • 00:29:37
    My dad is exactly like this. He's
  • 00:29:39
    exactly like you say. He pointed a
  • 00:29:40
    shotgun at me for challenging him one
  • 00:29:42
    time. Yeah. These people are like
  • 00:29:44
    violent, abrasive, socially incompetent,
  • 00:29:47
    entitled, crazy, and habitual drug
  • 00:29:50
    users. So they often steal to make the
  • 00:29:52
    like Yeah, these people are like the
  • 00:29:54
    dredges of society for sure. I don't I I
  • 00:29:56
    don't know. I don't know. I'm I'm on I'm
  • 00:29:57
    on like a really big anti- noble seven
  • 00:29:59
    because there's been this discourse on
  • 00:30:01
    social media about like well the
  • 00:30:04
    Appalachian coal miners are are actually
  • 00:30:06
    like the natural ally of the socialists.
  • 00:30:08
    No, they're not. They vote against
  • 00:30:10
    literally everything we care about in
  • 00:30:11
    huge droves. Experiencing the negative
  • 00:30:14
    consequences of capitalism doesn't and
  • 00:30:16
    never has like made people anti-
  • 00:30:18
    capitalist. That's completely made up.
  • 00:30:20
    like the the the what was it something
  • 00:30:22
    Chad said the peasantry in and during
  • 00:30:23
    the French Revolution the
  • 00:30:24
    revolutionaries were the upper middle
  • 00:30:26
    class in the cities the peasantry were
  • 00:30:28
    pro- monarchy like you you you have to
  • 00:30:30
    deal with and Markx wrote about this
  • 00:30:32
    Markx this is the whole lump and pearl
  • 00:30:34
    thing and this is why Markx said you
  • 00:30:35
    needed a proletariat base for revolution
  • 00:30:37
    rather than a peasant base for
  • 00:30:38
    revolution because you like the Markx
  • 00:30:41
    was fully aware of the fact that the
  • 00:30:42
    average country bumpkin was was not like
  • 00:30:45
    a natural ally of this modern
  • 00:30:47
    postenlightenment social movement that
  • 00:30:50
    usually usually requires at least a
  • 00:30:51
    little bit of reading to understand. Of
  • 00:30:52
    course, this guy's obviously not a
  • 00:30:54
    peasant in like a in a traditional
  • 00:30:56
    sense. He might have the brain of one. I
  • 00:30:58
    think I just think we need to be a
  • 00:30:59
    little bit more contemptuous, man. These
  • 00:31:00
    people are so awful to be around.
  • 00:31:03
    They're so like they drain the life of
  • 00:31:05
    everyone around them and sometimes take
  • 00:31:07
    the lives of people around them. It's
  • 00:31:09
    crazy.
  • 00:31:09
    Tell me, duh.
  • 00:31:12
    Wendy, are you from this area?
  • 00:31:13
    Oh, no. I live on Dire Avenue.
  • 00:31:15
    Okay. But you're from the Bronx and all.
  • 00:31:16
    Yes. Um, so what are the top issues for
  • 00:31:19
    you as a New Yorker?
  • 00:31:20
    I work from MTA and the top issues for
  • 00:31:22
    me is like the train system. All that's
  • 00:31:24
    happening in the trains to to the
  • 00:31:26
    workers and stuff, the dangerous thing.
  • 00:31:28
    We don't have enough police on in sight,
  • 00:31:31
    so you know, they could take care of us.
  • 00:31:33
    I mean, it's a lot of bad things
  • 00:31:34
    happening here. So,
  • 00:31:35
    you said you work for the MTA actually.
  • 00:31:37
    Um, have you been following the mayor's
  • 00:31:39
    election at all or
  • 00:31:40
    a little bit? A little bit.
  • 00:31:41
    What do you think about the different
  • 00:31:42
    candidates?
  • 00:31:44
    I mean, hopefully they'll do something
  • 00:31:46
    for us. I mean, I see a couple of them
  • 00:31:48
    that are fine and stuff like that, but
  • 00:31:50
    it's like I say, you know, basically for
  • 00:31:52
    me is everything around the areas and
  • 00:31:54
    stuff was happening to us.
  • 00:31:56
    So, which
  • 00:31:56
    that dude is a reminder of how steep the
  • 00:31:58
    uphill battle is. I guess I guess my
  • 00:32:00
    thought is that if we lived in a
  • 00:32:03
    functioning pro-social society, people
  • 00:32:05
    like that wouldn't be allowed to exist
  • 00:32:06
    in that form. They would be socially
  • 00:32:09
    pressured into being different kinds of
  • 00:32:11
    people. like you the because the reason
  • 00:32:13
    stuff like that kind of stuff can exist
  • 00:32:16
    in like really far-flung rural
  • 00:32:17
    environments where nobody's like got an
  • 00:32:19
    eye on you in like the wild west kind of
  • 00:32:21
    stuff that he clearly idealizes and
  • 00:32:23
    people like that can exist in modern
  • 00:32:24
    societies where everyone's kind of
  • 00:32:25
    atomized and alienated but in an
  • 00:32:27
    environment where there's a lot of
  • 00:32:28
    social interconnectivity I feel like
  • 00:32:30
    people like that would just be like
  • 00:32:32
    ostracized to the point of basic like
  • 00:32:34
    social non-functioning you know cuz
  • 00:32:36
    people like that people aren't born like
  • 00:32:39
    that right like it's It's not like he
  • 00:32:42
    was just he was just genetically
  • 00:32:44
    predetermined to be like that. It's
  • 00:32:45
    probably years and years of abuse from
  • 00:32:48
    parental figures. Uh drug abuse later in
  • 00:32:51
    life, like stuff like that, you know,
  • 00:32:52
    like there were a bunch of things like
  • 00:32:53
    like physiological and social that
  • 00:32:56
    contributed to him being like that. And
  • 00:32:58
    I guess like I feel like in a good world
  • 00:33:00
    there wouldn't be many people like that.
  • 00:33:02
    But we we kind of have to address it as
  • 00:33:04
    it is. I just feel like sometimes people
  • 00:33:05
    on the left are so they're so hesitant
  • 00:33:08
    to label a kind of person as a bad kind
  • 00:33:11
    of person to be, you know, because they
  • 00:33:13
    think that that's reactionary. But I
  • 00:33:15
    just disagree. The reactionary does it
  • 00:33:17
    based on like your race or gender or
  • 00:33:18
    some [ __ ] like that. It's stupid,
  • 00:33:20
    right? But like on on basic like moral
  • 00:33:23
    character, you know, I I feel like
  • 00:33:25
    that's fine. I don't know. Especially
  • 00:33:27
    because and this is a consistent issue,
  • 00:33:29
    right? A lot of lefties, especially
  • 00:33:31
    online, are upper middle class urbanite
  • 00:33:33
    intellectuals with a college degree. So,
  • 00:33:35
    they don't actually interact with people
  • 00:33:37
    like that that often. So, in their head,
  • 00:33:38
    they think, "Oh, underlying this guy's
  • 00:33:41
    craziness, there's like an earnest
  • 00:33:42
    desire for socialist liberation." When
  • 00:33:44
    in reality, like, no, they want to do
  • 00:33:45
    drugs and beat people. There are lots of
  • 00:33:47
    people like that. Like, lots and lots of
  • 00:33:49
    people like that. Probably less per
  • 00:33:51
    capita in New York City than in many
  • 00:33:52
    other places, but there are still lots
  • 00:33:54
    of people like that. And I just I we
  • 00:33:56
    have to accept like it's materialism.
  • 00:33:57
    You have to accept reality as it is. Not
  • 00:33:59
    you can't impose your ideological
  • 00:34:01
    preconception of what the noble
  • 00:34:03
    proletariat should be like onto the
  • 00:34:05
    proletariat. You have to just
  • 00:34:06
    acknowledge the fact
  • 00:34:08
    candidates specifically, if any, are you
  • 00:34:10
    like leaning toward?
  • 00:34:11
    No, not really.
  • 00:34:12
    No. Okay. Is there anything else you
  • 00:34:14
    want to add?
  • 00:34:15
    No, that's about it. That's like I said,
  • 00:34:17
    it's just the train system is really
  • 00:34:18
    bad. Hopefully, whoever they choose do
  • 00:34:21
    something about these trains.
  • 00:34:22
    Thank you so much. I was curious, are
  • 00:34:24
    there any candidates who you supported
  • 00:34:27
    in the primary or you're thinking of
  • 00:34:28
    supporting in the general?
  • 00:34:30
    Uh
  • 00:34:31
    for this election, we want the mayor who
  • 00:34:34
    can make the city affordable for
  • 00:34:36
    everybody.
  • 00:34:37
    Affordable.
  • 00:34:38
    Yes. And uh we make our first choice on
  • 00:34:41
    uh Mandani.
  • 00:34:42
    Oh yeah.
  • 00:34:43
    And then we going to be with Mandani
  • 00:34:45
    Cuomo and then uh uh
  • 00:34:51
    Adams. So between the three that you
  • 00:34:54
    mentioned, is there anyone that
  • 00:34:55
    No, that's fine. He's ranking Manny
  • 00:34:56
    first. That's that's fine. That's all
  • 00:34:58
    that matters.
  • 00:34:58
    You, you know, support more than the
  • 00:35:00
    others.
  • 00:35:01
    Yeah, we support Manny.
  • 00:35:02
    Mani? Yes.
  • 00:35:03
    And why is that?
  • 00:35:04
    Yes. Uh because uh he can break uh any
  • 00:35:08
    change to the city. Cuomo did before. So
  • 00:35:11
    we give it the chance to another one. So
  • 00:35:14
    it's better for the city.
  • 00:35:16
    And did you vote in the presidential
  • 00:35:18
    election in 2020?
  • 00:35:19
    More. I vote more than 20 years now. So
  • 00:35:22
    I I keep voting.
  • 00:35:23
    You keep voting.
  • 00:35:24
    Yes.
  • 00:35:24
    Um if you don't mind sharing, who did
  • 00:35:25
    you vote for in the presidential
  • 00:35:27
    election?
  • 00:35:28
    For president election is in my heart. I
  • 00:35:30
    I'll say to anybody, but okay.
  • 00:35:31
    I want a candidate who can make the city
  • 00:35:34
    and the country better to live for
  • 00:35:37
    everybody.
  • 00:35:37
    You're ranking Mani first, not Lander
  • 00:35:38
    second. Lander's not running the
  • 00:35:40
    general. He's talking about people in
  • 00:35:41
    the general. He's saying he wants Mamani
  • 00:35:43
    then Cuomo than Adams. But Mani being
  • 00:35:45
    first is all that matters. It's the He's
  • 00:35:46
    talking about the general ranking.
  • 00:35:49
    No racial, no nothing.
  • 00:35:51
    What do you think about Eric Adams and
  • 00:35:52
    how he's uh done for the city?
  • 00:35:54
    Uh Adams is good. May Adam is still
  • 00:35:58
    good, but uh
  • 00:35:59
    Adams is better than Cuomo would be. I
  • 00:36:01
    do believe that.
  • 00:36:02
    On the day we're going to see who we
  • 00:36:04
    going to vote for.
  • 00:36:07
    Thank you so much. I really appreciate
  • 00:36:09
    it.
  • 00:36:09
    Thank you. I appreciate too.
  • 00:36:10
    Yeah. Have a good day.
  • 00:36:12
    He seems nice. I like his smile. He has
  • 00:36:14
    a really nice smile. That guy. Not this
  • 00:36:16
    one. I haven't seen a smile yet. The the
  • 00:36:18
    previous one.
  • 00:36:25
    Does Vos not talk to people IRL? Why is
  • 00:36:27
    he so surprised about how contra they
  • 00:36:28
    are? I'm not. I'm never surprised by
  • 00:36:30
    that. I expect that. I never expect
  • 00:36:32
    random people to have coherent political
  • 00:36:33
    views. I'm trying to dissuade people in
  • 00:36:35
    my community from being surprised cuz I
  • 00:36:37
    think that's like the big black pill
  • 00:36:39
    that you have to take on politics,
  • 00:36:40
    right? You have to understand that for
  • 00:36:42
    the most part, people are kind of sheep
  • 00:36:43
    you have to pull around a little bit.
  • 00:36:45
    You can do that by convincing them. I
  • 00:36:46
    don't mean lying or or or being mean or
  • 00:36:48
    whatever, but like a lot of people just
  • 00:36:50
    don't like think think of politics the
  • 00:36:52
    same way you would think of any any
  • 00:36:55
    technical issue that you're trying to
  • 00:36:56
    make a prescriptive statement about.
  • 00:36:58
    Okay? Like imagine for example that
  • 00:37:01
    there's some kind of like tech that is
  • 00:37:03
    new and objectively better than a
  • 00:37:05
    previous one and you have to convince
  • 00:37:06
    all your boomer relatives, you know,
  • 00:37:08
    like you kind of have to lead them
  • 00:37:09
    around a little bit like like they're
  • 00:37:10
    they're using like USBA cables or
  • 00:37:13
    something and you're like, "Holy [ __ ]
  • 00:37:14
    dude. Are you kidding me?" And then you
  • 00:37:16
    show them USBC and they're like, "Mine
  • 00:37:17
    have worked just fine for a long time. I
  • 00:37:20
    don't see why I need to change them."
  • 00:37:21
    And you're like, "Please just shut the
  • 00:37:23
    [ __ ] Please just It's literally the
  • 00:37:25
    same thing but better. Like by a mile.
  • 00:37:27
    Please just let me touch your computer
  • 00:37:29
    for a second." No, I don't want you to.
  • 00:37:31
    Like you you have to you you have to
  • 00:37:33
    It's It's not that you hate the people
  • 00:37:35
    you're trying to help. It's just you
  • 00:37:36
    have to understand that like by virtue
  • 00:37:38
    of you having more knowledge than them,
  • 00:37:41
    you you you you can't you you have to
  • 00:37:44
    put yourself in a position of like
  • 00:37:46
    relative authority. I don't know.
  • 00:37:50
    Maybe hate them a little.
  • 00:38:22
    Well, that was nice.
