(00:00):
This is the congresswoman who thinks that shouting her own
version of history lessons through a blown out microphone
makes her sound profound. The latest clip is just that.
She's on stage screaming about who built New York City.
Go ahead and play this one, boys.
This city was built by the Irishescaping famine, Italians
(00:22):
fleeing fascism, Jews escaping Holocaust, Black Americans
fleeing sex slavery and Jim Crow.
Latinos since seeking a better life made of people standing for
themselves. Oh my God, what's this like
dance she's got while she's screaming?
(00:42):
I know everyone's favorite whisper singer turned
philosopher. The girl who can make an entire
career out of sounding like she's trapped in a vent system
and now wants to lecture the world about wealth and morality.
So she's up there at the Wall Street Journal event getting an
award called the Music InnovatorAward.
Play the clip, guys. I'd say if you have money it
(01:04):
would be great to use it for good things and maybe give it to
some people that need it. Oh my God, First off, isn't she
a a professional singer? She's just all over the mic and
is hitting her face and now she's talking about lowering the
voting age to 16. Check this out I.
Think we should reduce voting age to 16?
(01:27):
I'll tell you why. So Gen.
Z, their age about 13 through 27.
They've only known the climate crisis.
They missed substantial parts oftheir education because of the
pandemic. Welcome to Stay in the Fray
podcast. I'm your host, Ryan.
(01:48):
This is where headlines get hit hard, hypocracy gets shredded,
and the absurd are laughed at. If you want comfort, this isn't
your place. If you want blunt and
unfiltered, I'm your guy. Join me in the fray.
All you had to do is just listenup.
Hey guys, welcome back. More and more desperation from
(02:13):
the left. I hate to sound like a broken
record, but it's just, it's constant.
And I feel a responsibility to share this with you and to call
these people out and have a, have a little bit of a laugh at
it, but also realize that it's, it's, it's pretty serious these
days. The, the, the Democrats are just
(02:35):
circling the drain. The other day I saw it's down to
16% Democratic Party approval rating.
That's not good. And because of that, they're
only getting louder. They think if they scream hard
enough, nonsense suddenly turns true, like reality is just going
(02:58):
to bend over and hug their delusion.
We're at the point where it's not even debate.
They they're not even really trying that.
It's just performance. It's, it's the, it's all they
have straight up scare tactics and fairy tales dressed up as
policy. They're rewriting history,
(03:19):
inventing oppression, and telling you to give away your
money like they're the Saints ofall of all generosity you got.
People are saying 16 year olds should not be able to vote, the
billionaire should hand over their wealth, private property
shouldn't even exist, and somehow New York was built by
every group that's ever existed in human history.
(03:42):
Oh don't forget the horror stories.
The children being dragged out of their homes in the middle of
the night. Apparently that's happening
somewhere also. It's pathetic.
This is what happens when their ideas are proven to be bad for
the country over and over again.It's what happens when they
can't win with logic, they reachfor fake emotion.
(04:07):
Fear becomes the product and theweak minded line up to buy it.
Because hate is easy, blame is even easier.
Responsibility however, no chance.
This is Stay in the Fray podcast.
It is November the 3rd, 2025. Let's roll.
(04:28):
I'm going to jump into it and we'll start with one of the
loudest examples of what happenswhen volume replaces thought.
We all know and love her for hercontent.
AOC. She's a definitely a repeat
member of my show here. This is the congresswoman who
(04:49):
thinks that shouting her own version of history lessons
through a blown out microphone makes her sound profound.
The latest clip is just that she's on stage screaming and
about who built New York City. And I mean screaming you.
You can hear the mic like blown out.
(05:10):
It's like she's trying to exercise the spirit of logic
from the crowd. Go ahead and play this one,
boys. This city was built by the Irish
escaping famine, Italians fleeing fascism, Jews escaping
Holocaust, Black Americans fleeing slavery and Jim Crow.
Latinos then see seeking a better life, Native people
(05:34):
standing for themselves, Asian Americans coming together in
Queens, in Brooklyn, in the Bronx, in Manhattan, in Staten
Island, in this. Country.
Oh my God, What's this like dance she's got while she's
screaming? You think she was reading off a
(05:55):
BuzzFeed diversity checklist? But I don't know.
She's talking about how the citywas built.
Here's the thing, none of it even connects.
There's no point. There's no argument to what
she's saying. It's just loud noise wrapped in
fake compassion. So apparently disagreeing with
(06:18):
her socialist nonsense means youhate every group.
She just shouted at you. That's her whole playbook.
Label divide. It's race baiting dressed up as
this history class. Let's get real for a second.
New York was established before the United States existed.
Jews escaping the Holocaust in the 1940s didn't build the city.
(06:43):
Black Americans fleeing from JimCrow in the mid 1900s?
They didn't lay the foundation of Manhattan.
The city was already standing filled with Irish immigrants,
tradesmen, and builders long before AO CS revisionist bedtime
story. She got a couple right.
Sure, the Irish and the early Italians did help build parts of
(07:04):
modern New York City. But Italians fleeing fascism?
That's the 20th century. The buildings were already
there. The system was already built,
the laws already written. But see, history isn't what
she's selling. Division is.
Emotion is because we make people feel guilty enough you
(07:25):
don't have to actually make any sense.
And that's the trick. Scream loud enough, throw out
just enough historical words, and hope the applause covers up
how empty it all truly is. Here is what she doesn't want
you to realize. Trump's support among black and
Hispanic voters grew massively. So the people she claims to
(07:48):
represent are walking away from her victim narrative.
They're they see what's happening.
They're smart, they're living inthe chaos that her policies
create. AO CS brand is simple.
Confusion plus confidence equalsapplause.
And unfortunately for her, it's only enough to fool a small
(08:08):
crowd that thinks shouting equals activism.
So yeah, this is what happens when emotion replaces thought.
And trust me, it it only gets Dumber from here on out.
That was AOC, let's move on. I want to change it up a little
bit. This is not going to be a
politician or a has been celebrity.
(08:30):
This celebrity is actually stillstill relevant.
Not that I know why or how, but she is, and that makes it
scarier. Let's talk about Billie Eilish.
I know everyone's favorite whisper singer turned
philosopher, the girl who can make an entire career out of
sounding like she's trapped in avent system and now wants to
(08:52):
lecture the world about wealth and morality.
So she's up there at the Wall Street Journal event getting an
award called the Music InnovatorAward.
By the way, should go. Should have gone to her brother
because that guy actually writesthe music.
But sure, let's hand it to the person who Mumbles over it.
Go ahead, play the clip, guys. Just say like, we're in a time
(09:16):
right now where the world is really, really bad and really
dark and people need empathy andhelp more than kind of ever,
especially in our country. And I'd say if you have money,
it would be great to use it for good things and maybe give it to
some people that need it and love you all.
(09:39):
But there's a few people in herethat have a lot more money than
me. And if you're a billionaire, why
are you a billionaire? No hate.
But yeah, give your money away. Shorty's love you guys.
Thank you so much. Oh my God.
(10:01):
First off, isn't she a a professional singer?
She's just all over the mic and it's hitting her face and that's
not what this is about. There it was.
She looks right at the crowd full of people who built
companies, created jobs, funded half the planet's tech and says
(10:21):
if you're a billionaire, why areyou a billionaire?
Give your money away, shorties or whatever the hell she said.
Who do you think you are, Billy?You started making millions at
14 because you had a bedroom micand a label connected, Brother.
That's not struggle, that's goodtiming.
(10:41):
And now you want to scold the people who keep the lights on in
the economy because it makes yousound deep and edgy, virtuous?
Let's play a quick round of reality, shall we?
Elon Musk, billionaire, reusablerockets, electric cars, global
Internet coverage, Bill Gates billionaire wiped out polio in
(11:05):
multiple countries, Malaria programs that actively save
lives, Mark Zuckerberg, billionaire funding AI research,
medical data sharing, global connectivity projects.
Billie Eilish. Oh well, she just pledged 11.5
million coming up from her new tour.
Hadn't even happened yet. She's pledging it to food equity
(11:26):
and climate justice. Great.
OK, it's like me tossing 1/4 andwishing well and calling myself
a philanthropist. She's worth $54 million.
I don't even, I think it's higher than that, but that's
what I that's what my research gave me.
Her next tour is projected to gross around 300 million, and
(11:46):
she's telling everyone else to give their money away.
By the way, the cheapest ticket to her show is 120 bucks before
fees. But sure, let's take financial
advice from someone who charges a week's worth of groceries to
watch her mumble in blue light. This is the new religion.
Performative guilt. Pretend you care, donate a
(12:10):
fraction of a fraction, and shame anyone who doesn't
broadcast the generosity. It's fake virtue on repeat, and
it's rotting culture from the inside out.
Billy, here's the deal. You can give away your money.
That is your right. How generous of you.
But you don't get to demand thateveryone else do it in the same
(12:30):
capacity. This country was built on
freedom and opportunity, not forced charity dressed up as
moral purity. You want to make the world
better? Stop pretending self loathing is
noble. Keep making good music or tell
your brother to. Enough of Billy.
(12:52):
My goodness. All right, let's let's, let's go
to Chicago. Let's talk about Chicago's
finest mayor, Brandon Johnson. This is the man who somehow
manages to make the previous mayor, Lori Lightfoot, who
terrified me. When I looked at her, she looked
like the same one. Now, compared to him, this guy
(13:13):
gives speeches like he's auditioning for a movie that
doesn't exist. Part drama, part hallucination,
just weird robotic words. And in this clip, he's back at
it, turning enforcement of federal law into some kind of
dystopian Horror Story. Listen to this roller guys.
(13:35):
No one is going to convince me what the Trump administration is
doing against black people and brown people can ever be
justified. It is racist.
When you have black babies beingthrown in the back of vans, zip
tied in the middle of the night and masked men sticking guns in
the faces of black and brown people, That is nasty, is
vicious, is racist. Doctor King described it as an
(13:57):
evil militarism and that that formation is an.
Evil. Forgive me for sighing.
Excuse me over the top of that elegant speech.
Whatever he was doing, you heardit.
He said it with a straight face.Right now with this
(14:19):
administration, black babies arebeing thrown into vans and zip
tied in the middle of the night and masked men point guns at
black and brown people. What the hell is he talking
about? Zip tied babies?
Did I miss that headline? Is there footage I I need to
see? This is, is there a single shred
(14:39):
of evidence? No, because it didn't happen.
It's a bedtime story for activists who need a new monster
under the bed. And here's something that they
hate. Context.
Allow me to explain something that he won't Enforcing
immigration law isn't racist. It's the law.
(15:03):
ICE agents aren't boogeymen. How about this little nugget for
the mayor? How about half of ICE agents
aren't even white? So if Brandon's logic holds,
that means that black and brown ICE agents are racist against
black and brown people. That's a new level of intellect
(15:25):
that we're working with here in Chicago.
And about those masks, I keep hearing this.
They wear them because your supporters attack them.
They dox them, They threaten their families.
They show up at their houses. That's why they cover their
faces to avoid becoming the nexttarget of one of your mobs.
The insanity of this guy is unbelievable.
(15:48):
Chicago is falling apart, crime is still through the roof,
businesses are gone, people are fleeing and instead of fixing it
he's up there screaming about black babies in vans zip tied.
I lived there in Shy town for about 3 years.
Beautiful city filled with hard working people.
Good Midwestern town. Politicians like these are the
(16:12):
reason it won't ever completely thrive to its its full
potential. People are packing up and
they're not looking back. We did the victim act.
Act is stale, the race card is maxed out.
People are waking up to it when half the city's terrified to
(16:32):
walk home. And you're blaming federal law
enforcement instead of the actual criminals.
That's not leadership, dude. It's political propaganda.
Brandon, you are not a mayor. You are a parody of one.
You're trying to sell fear because fixing the mess would
mean admitting that your types of policies caused it.
(16:56):
Moving on from Brandon. Yeah.
We we're going to do this. I you know, I can't.
I wanted to ignore this woman, but I just can't.
Kamala Harris, she just refuses to go away.
She can't take a hint. Go enjoy happy hours.
This is not going well for you. These appearances, these
(17:16):
interviews. It's going great here for
content. But other than that, she's out
here again repeating to anyone who will listen that the 2024
election was the closest one in the 21st century, which, by the
way, they've been like a whole 7elections in the 21st century.
But 2024 was definitely not evenclose.
(17:37):
Do I have to do it again? All swing states went to Trump.
Popular vote went to Trump. The Electoral College was a
landslide. Math was never her strong suit
unless it is counting new ways to embarrass herself.
Now she's talking about loweringthe voting age to 16 because
apparently teenagers who can't parallel park or make eye
(17:59):
contact anymore should be helping decide global policy.
The desperation from the left continues.
They're losing their illegal votes, so they have to try and
make that make up that ground somehow.
So kids, sure, why not check this out?
(18:19):
Think we should reduce voting age to 16?
I'll tell you why. So Gen.
Z, they're age about 13 through 27.
They've only known the climate crisis.
They missed substantial parts oftheir education because of the
(18:40):
pandemic. If they're in high school or
college, especially in college, it is very likely that whatever
they've chosen as their major for study may not result in an
affordable wage. They've coined the term climate
anxiety to describe fear of not only being able to buy a home,
(19:03):
but that fear it'll be wiped outby extreme weather, but fear of
having children. It is expected that Gen.
Z will have 11:50 jobs in their lifetime.
They are a larger number than boomers.
They're a specific generation ofpeople who are going to impact
our nation and the world, and I think we must invest in them.
(19:25):
But I think that they are rightly impatient with a lot of
what is the tradition of leadership right now.
And if they were able to vote, because they know everything
that's happening right now is going to impact them more than
anybody older than them, for themost part.
Oh my, Oh my God, sorry. I sorry I subjected you guys to
(19:48):
that for that long. She starts rambling about Gen.
Z and how they've only ever known the climate crisis.
Yeah, Kamala, I'm sure no other generation has ever dealt with
weather before then. She says they missed substantial
education because of the pandemic.
What do you mean 2 years of Zoomschool?
And what administration made that happen to begin with?
(20:10):
Yours. She goes on about this whole
climate anxiety labeling, which,let's be real, is not an actual
condition. It's just the new emotional
support slogan for people who read too many headlines.
Like her absurd stepdaughter, noone outside of these
professional social media activists say that phrase out
(20:31):
loud. It's embarrassing.
Then she came. If she claims young people are
scared to have kids because of the economy and climate change,
or maybe they're just scared to bring children into a world
where politicians like you have no policy, Here's the truth.
Every generation has problems, but this idea that 16 year olds
(20:53):
are these wise, socially conscious, politically aware
thinkers, please. They don't even want to be that.
They're more worried about getting a fake ID than balancing
the budget. And they should be.
The irony. She says they're impatient with
the current leadership. Yeah, so are we, Kamala.
(21:13):
The impatience was for your leadership, you and Biden.
You were in charge while inflation exploded, borders
collapsed, and international respect evaporated.
Trump is bringing it back. I know you hate it, but the
numbers show it and I'm not so sure that Gen.
Z would give you the one up you think they would.
(21:35):
This woman is delusional. Every time she speaks it's like
her mouth and her brain are in two different zip codes.
Now she wants to hand the vote to kids who can't even get into
an R rated movie. Kamala, if your best strategy
for saving your party is recruiting teenagers, then
congratulations, you've officially run out of adults
(21:55):
willing to take you seriously. And now the grand finale of this
episode, we have to talk about Zoran Momdani.
I'll be honest, I'm genuinely worried for New York City.
I used to really enjoy visiting.I wasn't there that long ago.
I have friends there, but it's about to put this guy in charge
(22:18):
and prove exactly what we've been warning about.
Maybe we just have to let it happen so that it never happens
again. So let's hear from the guy
himself with a mic, a manifesto,and apparently a disdain for the
idea that you might own the property you actually work for.
Roll this, boys. My platform is that every single
(22:40):
person should have house. And I think faced with these two
options, the system, the system has hundreds of thousands of
people unhoused, right for for what?
And if if there was any system that could guarantee each person
housing, whether you called the abolition of private property or
you call it, you know, just a statewide housing guarantee, it
(23:02):
is preferable to what is going on right now.
And I think that people try and play like gotcha games about
these kinds of things. And it's like, look, I care more
about whether somebody has a. The last word was care if they
have about somebody has a home. This is incredible.
Let me get this straight. Somebody builds a house, buys
(23:23):
it, pays for it, and now we're supposed to give up the idea of
ownership because in this dude'smind, it's preferable to abolish
it? Let me get this specific about
this. This election is coming up.
Here's what else this guy is selling.
Freeze the rent on nearly 1,000,000 stabilized apartments
(23:45):
in NYC. Shift the tax burden from outer
borough homeowners onto richer and wider neighborhoods.
Build city run grocery stores and have free buses while you're
at it. It sounds like a utopia, except
utopias always have a bill and someone always has to pay it.
(24:09):
Let's pull back the curtain a bit.
Ownership. He told you to question it.
Private property optional, preferable to abolish in his
eyes, wealthy neighborhoods get ready for extra taxes.
Renter majority, the voter base he's after massively the
(24:30):
consequence wealth fleeing the city, billions of dollars
walking right out the door because if you punish success
long enough, it eventually packsup and gets the hell out.
And what about his defenders saying they, they, they don't
like when we call him a common, he's not a communist, he's just
a democratic socialist. Fine words matter less when your
(24:53):
policies push housing into crisis and personal property and
uncertainty. You can call it whatever you
want, but when you're talking about abolishing private
property and shifting tax burdens, the label doesn't
change the effect. So let's ask, who benefits from
(25:15):
Zoron? Hard working people trying to
buy a home? Nope.
They'll face higher taxes, less stability.
Business owners and investors? Hell no.
They've already started moving out the power brokers and status
quo folks laughing all the way to the bank dressed as victims.
Mamdani wants to reimagine New York City, but what he'll
(25:38):
actually risk is destroying the engine that made it.
Because the city doesn't thrive when its foundations are in
fear, confiscation and uncertainty.
When property becomes a punchingbag, owners become absent.
When investment evaporates, the city starves.
(26:00):
So here is your take away, New York City.
I'm looking right at you. The problem isn't just that
Mamdani is saying wild things, it's that a lot of you are
nodding along. You hear promises, you see
slogans, and you don't ask, well, how does this work or who
(26:23):
pays for this? You just sound like you like the
sound of having free stuff and someone else to blame.
And in this case, the blame is on New Yorkers if they own
something, if they built something, if they dared to
succeed, because now they are the richer and the whiter
(26:45):
neighborhood in his crosshairs. So there it is, five perfect
examples of what happens when praying on emotion hijacks logic
and delusion replaces responsibility.
The left has turned politics into a therapy session where
screaming is evidence, victimhood is currency, and
(27:07):
feelings are the new facts. They want to control what you
own, what you earn, what you say, and so on.
They call it progress. I call it collapse disguised as
compassion. I'm not angry because these
people exist. I'm angry because millions cheer
(27:27):
them on like it's noble. They swallow the fear, they echo
the slogans, and they never stopto ask if any of it actually
helps. It's all about virtue
signalling, plain and simple. This is how society's rot.
Not from bad ideas, but from people too lazy or scared to
(27:49):
challenge those bad ideas. You can't fix crazy policy with
calm reasoning, you just have tolet it burn once so people
finally learn not to touch the stove again.
That's where we are now, watching it happen and knowing
that we warned them. So if you made it this far, help
(28:10):
me out. We are a team.
Hit the like. Toss a comment below, share
this, spread it. I know you guys are fatigued by
all of it as well. This show only grows because of
you, so stay aware, stay unshaken, stay the course, stay
(28:32):
in the fray. Love you guys, all you had to.
Do is just listen up.
This is the congresswoman who thinks that shouting her own
version of history lessons through a blown out microphone
makes her sound profound. The latest clip is just that.
She's on stage screaming about who built New York City.
Go ahead and play this one, boys.
This city was built by the Irishescaping famine, Italians

dance she's got while she's screaming?
(00:42):
I know everyone's favorite whisper singer turned
philosopher. The girl who can make an entire
career out of sounding like she's trapped in a vent system
and now wants to lecture the world about wealth and morality.
So she's up there at the Wall Street Journal event getting an
award called the Music InnovatorAward.
Play the clip, guys. I'd say if you have money it
(01:04):
would be great to use it for good things and maybe give it to
some people that need it. Oh my God, First off, isn't she

Think we should reduce voting age to 16?
(01:27):
I'll tell you why. So Gen.

This is Stay in the Fray podcast.
It is November the 3rd, 2025. Let's roll.
(04:28):
I'm going to jump into it and we'll start with one of the
loudest examples of what happenswhen volume replaces thought.
We all know and love her for hercontent.
AOC. She's a definitely a repeat
member of my show here. This is the congresswoman who
(04:49):
thinks that shouting her own version of history lessons
through a blown out microphone makes her sound profound.
The latest clip is just that she's on stage screaming and
about who built New York City. And I mean screaming you.
You can hear the mic like blown out.
(05:10):
It's like she's trying to exercise the spirit of logic
from the crowd. Go ahead and play this one,
boys. This city was built by the Irish
escaping famine, Italians fleeing fascism, Jews escaping
Holocaust, Black Americans fleeing slavery and Jim Crow.
Latinos then see seeking a better life, Native people
(05:34):
standing for themselves, Asian Americans coming together in
Queens, in Brooklyn, in the Bronx, in Manhattan, in Staten
Island, in this. Country.
Oh my God, What's this like dance she's got while she's
screaming? You think she was reading off a
(05:55):
BuzzFeed diversity checklist? But I don't know.
She's talking about how the citywas built.
Here's the thing, none of it even connects.
There's no point. There's no argument to what
she's saying. It's just loud noise wrapped in
fake compassion. So apparently disagreeing with
(06:18):
her socialist nonsense means youhate every group.
She just shouted at you. That's her whole playbook.
Label divide. It's race baiting dressed up as
this history class. Let's get real for a second.
New York was established before the United States existed.
Jews escaping the Holocaust in the 1940s didn't build the city.
(06:43):
Black Americans fleeing from JimCrow in the mid 1900s?
They didn't lay the foundation of Manhattan.
The city was already standing filled with Irish immigrants,
tradesmen, and builders long before AO CS revisionist bedtime
story. She got a couple right.
Sure, the Irish and the early Italians did help build parts of
(07:04):
modern New York City. But Italians fleeing fascism?
That's the 20th century. The buildings were already
there. The system was already built,
the laws already written. But see, history isn't what
she's selling. Division is.
Emotion is because we make people feel guilty enough you
(07:25):
don't have to actually make any sense.
And that's the trick. Scream loud enough, throw out
just enough historical words, and hope the applause covers up
how empty it all truly is. Here is what she doesn't want
you to realize. Trump's support among black and
Hispanic voters grew massively. So the people she claims to
(07:48):
represent are walking away from her victim narrative.
They're they see what's happening.
They're smart, they're living inthe chaos that her policies
create. AO CS brand is simple.
Confusion plus confidence equalsapplause.
And unfortunately for her, it's only enough to fool a small
(08:08):
crowd that thinks shouting equals activism.
So yeah, this is what happens when emotion replaces thought.
And trust me, it it only gets Dumber from here on out.
That was AOC, let's move on. I want to change it up a little
bit. This is not going to be a
politician or a has been celebrity.
(08:30):
This celebrity is actually stillstill relevant.
Not that I know why or how, but she is, and that makes it
scarier. Let's talk about Billie Eilish.
I know everyone's favorite whisper singer turned
philosopher, the girl who can make an entire career out of
sounding like she's trapped in avent system and now wants to
(08:52):
lecture the world about wealth and morality.
So she's up there at the Wall Street Journal event getting an
award called the Music InnovatorAward.
By the way, should go. Should have gone to her brother
because that guy actually writesthe music.
But sure, let's hand it to the person who Mumbles over it.
Go ahead, play the clip, guys. Just say like, we're in a time
(09:16):
right now where the world is really, really bad and really
dark and people need empathy andhelp more than kind of ever,
especially in our country. And I'd say if you have money,
it would be great to use it for good things and maybe give it to
some people that need it and love you all.
(09:39):
But there's a few people in herethat have a lot more money than
me. And if you're a billionaire, why
are you a billionaire? No hate.
But yeah, give your money away. Shorty's love you guys.
Thank you so much. Oh my God.
(10:01):
First off, isn't she a a professional singer?
She's just all over the mic and it's hitting her face and that's
not what this is about. There it was.
She looks right at the crowd full of people who built
companies, created jobs, funded half the planet's tech and says
(10:21):
if you're a billionaire, why areyou a billionaire?
Give your money away, shorties or whatever the hell she said.
Who do you think you are, Billy?You started making millions at
14 because you had a bedroom micand a label connected, Brother.
That's not struggle, that's goodtiming.
(10:41):
And now you want to scold the people who keep the lights on in
the economy because it makes yousound deep and edgy, virtuous?
Let's play a quick round of reality, shall we?
Elon Musk, billionaire, reusablerockets, electric cars, global
Internet coverage, Bill Gates billionaire wiped out polio in
(11:05):
multiple countries, Malaria programs that actively save
lives, Mark Zuckerberg, billionaire funding AI research,
medical data sharing, global connectivity projects.
Billie Eilish. Oh well, she just pledged 11.5
million coming up from her new tour.
Hadn't even happened yet. She's pledging it to food equity
(11:26):
and climate justice. Great.
OK, it's like me tossing 1/4 andwishing well and calling myself
a philanthropist. She's worth $54 million.
I don't even, I think it's higher than that, but that's
what I that's what my research gave me.
Her next tour is projected to gross around 300 million, and
(11:46):
she's telling everyone else to give their money away.
By the way, the cheapest ticket to her show is 120 bucks before
fees. But sure, let's take financial
advice from someone who charges a week's worth of groceries to
watch her mumble in blue light. This is the new religion.
Performative guilt. Pretend you care, donate a
(12:10):
fraction of a fraction, and shame anyone who doesn't
broadcast the generosity. It's fake virtue on repeat, and
it's rotting culture from the inside out.
Billy, here's the deal. You can give away your money.
That is your right. How generous of you.
But you don't get to demand thateveryone else do it in the same
(12:30):
capacity. This country was built on
freedom and opportunity, not forced charity dressed up as
moral purity. You want to make the world
better? Stop pretending self loathing is
noble. Keep making good music or tell
your brother to. Enough of Billy.
(12:52):
My goodness. All right, let's let's, let's go
to Chicago. Let's talk about Chicago's
finest mayor, Brandon Johnson. This is the man who somehow
manages to make the previous mayor, Lori Lightfoot, who
terrified me. When I looked at her, she looked
like the same one. Now, compared to him, this guy
(13:13):
gives speeches like he's auditioning for a movie that
doesn't exist. Part drama, part hallucination,
just weird robotic words. And in this clip, he's back at
it, turning enforcement of federal law into some kind of
dystopian Horror Story. Listen to this roller guys.
(13:35):
No one is going to convince me what the Trump administration is
doing against black people and brown people can ever be
justified. It is racist.
When you have black babies beingthrown in the back of vans, zip
tied in the middle of the night and masked men sticking guns in
the faces of black and brown people, That is nasty, is
vicious, is racist. Doctor King described it as an
(13:57):
evil militarism and that that formation is an.
Evil. Forgive me for sighing.
Excuse me over the top of that elegant speech.
Whatever he was doing, you heardit.
He said it with a straight face.Right now with this
(14:19):
administration, black babies arebeing thrown into vans and zip
tied in the middle of the night and masked men point guns at
black and brown people. What the hell is he talking
about? Zip tied babies?
Did I miss that headline? Is there footage I I need to
see? This is, is there a single shred
(14:39):
of evidence? No, because it didn't happen.
It's a bedtime story for activists who need a new monster
under the bed. And here's something that they
hate. Context.
Allow me to explain something that he won't Enforcing
immigration law isn't racist. It's the law.
(15:03):
ICE agents aren't boogeymen. How about this little nugget for
the mayor? How about half of ICE agents
aren't even white? So if Brandon's logic holds,
that means that black and brown ICE agents are racist against
black and brown people. That's a new level of intellect
(15:25):
that we're working with here in Chicago.
And about those masks, I keep hearing this.
They wear them because your supporters attack them.
They dox them, They threaten their families.
They show up at their houses. That's why they cover their
faces to avoid becoming the nexttarget of one of your mobs.
The insanity of this guy is unbelievable.
(15:48):
Chicago is falling apart, crime is still through the roof,
businesses are gone, people are fleeing and instead of fixing it
he's up there screaming about black babies in vans zip tied.
I lived there in Shy town for about 3 years.
Beautiful city filled with hard working people.
Good Midwestern town. Politicians like these are the
(16:12):
reason it won't ever completely thrive to its its full
potential. People are packing up and
they're not looking back. We did the victim act.
Act is stale, the race card is maxed out.
People are waking up to it when half the city's terrified to
(16:32):
walk home. And you're blaming federal law
enforcement instead of the actual criminals.
That's not leadership, dude. It's political propaganda.
Brandon, you are not a mayor. You are a parody of one.
You're trying to sell fear because fixing the mess would
mean admitting that your types of policies caused it.
(16:56):
Moving on from Brandon. Yeah.
We we're going to do this. I you know, I can't.
I wanted to ignore this woman, but I just can't.
Kamala Harris, she just refuses to go away.
She can't take a hint. Go enjoy happy hours.
This is not going well for you. These appearances, these
(17:16):
interviews. It's going great here for
content. But other than that, she's out
here again repeating to anyone who will listen that the 2024
election was the closest one in the 21st century, which, by the
way, they've been like a whole 7elections in the 21st century.
But 2024 was definitely not evenclose.
(17:37):
Do I have to do it again? All swing states went to Trump.
Popular vote went to Trump. The Electoral College was a
landslide. Math was never her strong suit
unless it is counting new ways to embarrass herself.
Now she's talking about loweringthe voting age to 16 because
apparently teenagers who can't parallel park or make eye
(17:59):
contact anymore should be helping decide global policy.
The desperation from the left continues.
They're losing their illegal votes, so they have to try and
make that make up that ground somehow.
So kids, sure, why not check this out?
(18:19):
Think we should reduce voting age to 16?
I'll tell you why. So Gen.
Z, they're age about 13 through 27.
They've only known the climate crisis.
They missed substantial parts oftheir education because of the
(18:40):
pandemic. If they're in high school or
college, especially in college, it is very likely that whatever
they've chosen as their major for study may not result in an
affordable wage. They've coined the term climate
anxiety to describe fear of not only being able to buy a home,
(19:03):
but that fear it'll be wiped outby extreme weather, but fear of
having children. It is expected that Gen.
Z will have 11:50 jobs in their lifetime.
They are a larger number than boomers.
They're a specific generation ofpeople who are going to impact
our nation and the world, and I think we must invest in them.
(19:25):
But I think that they are rightly impatient with a lot of
what is the tradition of leadership right now.
And if they were able to vote, because they know everything
that's happening right now is going to impact them more than
anybody older than them, for themost part.
Oh my, Oh my God, sorry. I sorry I subjected you guys to
(19:48):
that for that long. She starts rambling about Gen.
Z and how they've only ever known the climate crisis.
Yeah, Kamala, I'm sure no other generation has ever dealt with
weather before then. She says they missed substantial
education because of the pandemic.
What do you mean 2 years of Zoomschool?
And what administration made that happen to begin with?
(20:10):
Yours. She goes on about this whole
climate anxiety labeling, which,let's be real, is not an actual
condition. It's just the new emotional
support slogan for people who read too many headlines.
Like her absurd stepdaughter, noone outside of these
professional social media activists say that phrase out
(20:31):
loud. It's embarrassing.
Then she came. If she claims young people are
scared to have kids because of the economy and climate change,
or maybe they're just scared to bring children into a world
where politicians like you have no policy, Here's the truth.
Every generation has problems, but this idea that 16 year olds
(20:53):
are these wise, socially conscious, politically aware
thinkers, please. They don't even want to be that.
They're more worried about getting a fake ID than balancing
the budget. And they should be.
The irony. She says they're impatient with
the current leadership. Yeah, so are we, Kamala.
(21:13):
The impatience was for your leadership, you and Biden.
You were in charge while inflation exploded, borders
collapsed, and international respect evaporated.
Trump is bringing it back. I know you hate it, but the
numbers show it and I'm not so sure that Gen.
Z would give you the one up you think they would.
(21:35):
This woman is delusional. Every time she speaks it's like
her mouth and her brain are in two different zip codes.
Now she wants to hand the vote to kids who can't even get into
an R rated movie. Kamala, if your best strategy
for saving your party is recruiting teenagers, then
congratulations, you've officially run out of adults
(21:55):
willing to take you seriously. And now the grand finale of this
episode, we have to talk about Zoran Momdani.
I'll be honest, I'm genuinely worried for New York City.
I used to really enjoy visiting.I wasn't there that long ago.
I have friends there, but it's about to put this guy in charge
(22:18):
and prove exactly what we've been warning about.
Maybe we just have to let it happen so that it never happens
again. So let's hear from the guy
himself with a mic, a manifesto,and apparently a disdain for the
idea that you might own the property you actually work for.
Roll this, boys. My platform is that every single
(22:40):
person should have house. And I think faced with these two
options, the system, the system has hundreds of thousands of
people unhoused, right for for what?
And if if there was any system that could guarantee each person
housing, whether you called the abolition of private property or
you call it, you know, just a statewide housing guarantee, it
(23:02):
is preferable to what is going on right now.
And I think that people try and play like gotcha games about
these kinds of things. And it's like, look, I care more
about whether somebody has a. The last word was care if they
have about somebody has a home. This is incredible.
Let me get this straight. Somebody builds a house, buys
(23:23):
it, pays for it, and now we're supposed to give up the idea of
ownership because in this dude'smind, it's preferable to abolish
it? Let me get this specific about
this. This election is coming up.
Here's what else this guy is selling.
Freeze the rent on nearly 1,000,000 stabilized apartments
(23:45):
in NYC. Shift the tax burden from outer
borough homeowners onto richer and wider neighborhoods.
Build city run grocery stores and have free buses while you're
at it. It sounds like a utopia, except
utopias always have a bill and someone always has to pay it.
(24:09):
Let's pull back the curtain a bit.
Ownership. He told you to question it.
Private property optional, preferable to abolish in his
eyes, wealthy neighborhoods get ready for extra taxes.
Renter majority, the voter base he's after massively the
(24:30):
consequence wealth fleeing the city, billions of dollars
walking right out the door because if you punish success
long enough, it eventually packsup and gets the hell out.
And what about his defenders saying they, they, they don't
like when we call him a common, he's not a communist, he's just
a democratic socialist. Fine words matter less when your
(24:53):
policies push housing into crisis and personal property and
uncertainty. You can call it whatever you
want, but when you're talking about abolishing private
property and shifting tax burdens, the label doesn't
change the effect. So let's ask, who benefits from
(25:15):
Zoron? Hard working people trying to
buy a home? Nope.
They'll face higher taxes, less stability.
Business owners and investors? Hell no.
They've already started moving out the power brokers and status
quo folks laughing all the way to the bank dressed as victims.
Mamdani wants to reimagine New York City, but what he'll
(25:38):
actually risk is destroying the engine that made it.
Because the city doesn't thrive when its foundations are in
fear, confiscation and uncertainty.
When property becomes a punchingbag, owners become absent.
When investment evaporates, the city starves.
(26:00):
So here is your take away, New York City.
I'm looking right at you. The problem isn't just that
Mamdani is saying wild things, it's that a lot of you are
nodding along. You hear promises, you see
slogans, and you don't ask, well, how does this work or who
(26:23):
pays for this? You just sound like you like the
sound of having free stuff and someone else to blame.
And in this case, the blame is on New Yorkers if they own
something, if they built something, if they dared to
succeed, because now they are the richer and the whiter
(26:45):
neighborhood in his crosshairs. So there it is, five perfect
examples of what happens when praying on emotion hijacks logic
and delusion replaces responsibility.
The left has turned politics into a therapy session where
screaming is evidence, victimhood is currency, and
(27:07):
feelings are the new facts. They want to control what you
own, what you earn, what you say, and so on.
They call it progress. I call it collapse disguised as
compassion. I'm not angry because these
people exist. I'm angry because millions cheer
(27:27):
them on like it's noble. They swallow the fear, they echo
the slogans, and they never stopto ask if any of it actually
helps. It's all about virtue
signalling, plain and simple. This is how society's rot.
Not from bad ideas, but from people too lazy or scared to
(27:49):
challenge those bad ideas. You can't fix crazy policy with
calm reasoning, you just have tolet it burn once so people
finally learn not to touch the stove again.
That's where we are now, watching it happen and knowing
that we warned them. So if you made it this far, help
(28:10):
me out. We are a team.
Hit the like. Toss a comment below, share
this, spread it. I know you guys are fatigued by
all of it as well. This show only grows because of
you, so stay aware, stay unshaken, stay the course, stay
(28:32):
in the fray. Love you guys, all you had to.
Do is just listen up.
