And I do have some more text messages from the last hour. I will try to get to them and all of the new text messages. But you know me, I make promises to read all the texts and then I never follow through on it, just because I run out of time. All right, last hour I mentioned President Trump put out a truth or a social or truth social or a post on truth social. I don't know what they're called. A TS. I don't know. He posted up there. About what we are seeing in the wake of the the communists winning their elections up in the New York City area, and they're just sort of stacking wins on wins. They've got a bunch more candidates and they are, as Trump says, making their move, and I agree. Here's what he posted. And by the way, this is why when people would say, and I would argue with people back, you know, a decade ago when Trump first came on the scene politically, and people would say, yeah, but he fights. At least he fights. Trump fights. And there are various versions of it, but it was always that he fights. And this is what they mean. This is what they meant, This is what they mean. This is the thing that makes Donald Trump unique in sort of the pantheon of Republican nominees for president is that he actually says this stuff and he quote fights. Here's what he wrote. The communists are finally making their move. I've been waiting and preparing for this for a long time. It's easy to be a communist. All you have to do is say I'll give you everything, But that means you're taking it away from others that have earned it over thousands of years. That ideology has not worked. Once the game is on and joy watching President Donald J. Trump. Don't know what this looks like. Are these just words or whatever? But I don't know of another except for maybe Reagan. Right, Reagan, he took it to the commies all the time, but different era that was much easier to do because you had this global menace of the Soviet Union. Right, but that was. What Reagan was about, was fighting communism because it is diametrically ideologically opposed to the American ideal. It is the antithesis of what America is, the absolute antithesis. Now, Politico had a very lengthy piece headlined Centrist Democrats are freaking out about progressives winning streak. Moderate Democrats are sounding the alarm after massive losses in New York's primaries. They fear they are on the verge of losing the party's ideological civil war and hurting its electoral chances. See now you know it's serious because Politico used the term civil war. Now you know it's serious. See legacy outlets whenever there's a fight between factions inside the Republican Party, which is like that's been a hallmark of the GOP my entire adult life, I mean, because Reagan built the you know, three legged stool, so right, that's what it was called. You had these different factions. You had the religious right, you had the the defense hawks, and then you had sort of the you know, libertarian fiscal policy people, right, and so that made up the Reagan Coalition that was the Republican Party. And then after the fall of communism, all three of those factions they all agreed that communism was bad. But now without the Soviet Union to kind of unite them against the common enemy, now it's like, okay, now we're going to fight amongst ourselves over you know, who has pre eminence and whose policies should take precedent and all of that. Over on the Democrat side, it's always been Democrats are in disarray. Democrats are very sensitive to that framing. They lampoon the media whenever the media does these stories about Democrats in disarray, and they say, well, we're a big tent party, so we're going to have disagreement, but we all come together to fight our common enemy, which is the Republicans. Right. But the fact that Politico use the term civil war inside the Democrat Party like, to me, this is an inflection point. They go on to say, leftist candidates swept a trio of deep blue House seats in New York City, a seismic victory that toppled two incumbents, including the powerful chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, and after a string of progressive battleground wins in earlier primaries, Moderates are making it very clear that the left's winning streak is potentially just starting. The far left is eyeing even bigger targets in battleground primaries that will determine control of Congress as well as governorships in crucial swing states. Most immediately, moderates fear that a progressive primary sweep could imperil the party's hopes of beating Republicans this fall. Now, just in those two paragraphs, and again this is probably because I come from a background in journalism. I watch the framing of the sentences, like the words that are used, the descriptors right, the adjectives, and so I can't help but notice they refer to leftist candidates, the left's winning streak, the far left eyeing bigger targets and progressive primary sweeps. So you got leftist, left, far left, and. Progressive, and they're using all of these terms interchangeably, and they're putting all of them sort of on one side of the MA or centrist Democrats. This is the problem when you corrupt the language, which Democrats have done. The left does this, but the Democrats, their allies in the media. They have been doing this for decades because when a particular term like liberal becomes toxic and it becomes an albatross around their electoral next, they then discard that term because people associated with negative policies, they don't want to be liberal. They I don't like the term liberal. Right. Liberal used to mean what is now considered classical liberalism, which is pretty much conservatism, right. A classical liberal is basically a conservative nowadays. But they took that word liberal and they use that to describe themselves. And then when that term became toxic, what did they move to. They went to progress. Actually, they started with progressive in the twenties. That then got a bad name because of Woodrow Wilson and all of the progressive era and the overreach and all of that. Then they went to liberal, and they went back to progressive. So they keep using these different terms to identify their politics, but in the process they have corrupted what that means. And so when you have corrupted your language to this extent, you are now incapable of identifying the actual threat, because what is a moderate Democrat? What does that even mean anymore? A centrist Democrat who's a centrist. They like what Keith Schuler was, basically the last of the blue dog Democrats. What have you got? Maybe ten of those? But they all tend to vote along the same lines as the party leadership, and the party leadership falls in line with the most left wing ideas. So what exactly does a centrist Democrat or a moderate Democratic mean anymore? But they worry rightly so that the entire Democratic Party brand is going to be smeared by the lunatic left, by the fringe. And they are correct. They're going to get lumped in with the most left wing elements of the party because that's where the energy is. And when they win these primaries and they start putting up these candidates under your banner, because you did not kick them out of your party. You allowed the DSA to grow with the hopes that he would eat you last in order to beat the Republicans. As I have said many times, the DSA hates the Democrat Party. They're looking to take you over, and they are apparently succeeding all right. For over a year now you've heard me talking about create a video.

First, let me jump over and get Earnest on the program. Hello Ernest, Welcome to the show. Hi Pete, Hey, I appreciate you taking my call. Sure, I appreciate you told me that you told the listeners you'd studied communism. And during your presentation today, I was doing a little googling just to see, uh, the nature of communism as it was applied to other countries. I noticed somewhere near twenty five or thirty countries had tried to install communism, and the vast majority of those there was a required revolution, civil war, prolonged grilla word to do so correct, And one of my I did ai and I just said, well, how about trying to establish communist state in a country with five hundred million guns? Owned by the populace, and they said that would be an unprecedented situation. So of course you would have to have control of the Supreme Court. You would have to do away with the Second Amendment. And before that would happen, I would urge, if I was the president, to make sure you enrich your gun shops and go out and get arm up to defend your rights. But that would be the problem, I would think for the Democrats or the socialists, And what's your on that in this country? If that would do you think we would go into violence once it became aware of what the goal was and how could they disarm the populist They'd have to. They would be losing one hundred percent of their enforcement for us every month. That would seem to me trying to get the guns, but they would have to get the weapons, right. So this is the difference really in my mind, this is the only difference between socialism and communism, which is that socialism is sort of a waypoint along the road to the final destination of communism, and this is how you end up with groups like the Fabian Socialists, who. Are you there, ernest? Or did yes? Okay? And so like the Fabian Socialists. They were like, look, we can't do this radically all at once, so we'll just do it progressively. We'll just do a little bit at a time. And you mentioned one of the keys there, which is the Supreme Court. And what is the Democrat Party? Not the Democratic Socialists although they agree, but what has the Democrat Party been promising? What have they been talking about with regard to the Supreme Court? Right? So why would they do that? So this way they can get the Supreme Court to rule in their favor on things. That are not constitutional. And you know, we have a historical precedent for this, which was FDR when he threatened to pack the Supreme Court in order to get the court to go along with him on the creation of social security, right, because the Supreme Court was like, that's no, that you can't do that, and he was like, well, I'm going to pack the court and then they caved, so along with a bunch of other programs of his that he also implemented. But that's that's why the Democrats want to pack the court, is so they can then have basically rendered the legislative body irrelevant and then they want the Senate and how they're going to get control of the Senate. They're going to bring in a couple of new states, Puerto Rico, Washington, d C. Right, this will give them write sixty votes, get closer to sixty votes. So then this way they can make all of the appointments, they can overcome any filibuster threat, right, and then they can basically rule. And what is the purpose of that. It is to solidify control in their party so they can proceed down the pathway. And so if you have the courts and you have the ability to make all of the appointments, you can override any filibuster, then what would you start doing. You would start doing things against the Second Amendment. And that's what comment is. My comment would be American people aren't stupid. It's one of the most educated countries in the world. Once this is realized, you're suddenly not going to have five hundred million guns. You're going to have a billion guns in the possession of a populace once they see what the endgame is. Right. But to your point, Ernest, you said it like all of these revolutions occur through violence, right, And that's why whenever you have these discussion, when I have these discussions with leftists, usually online, and it's like, okay, walk me through how this goes. Like when you're talking about gun confiscation, right, if that's if you ever can get a leftist to actually acknowledge that's what they're trying to do, then it's like, walk me through how that occurs, right, because in their minds they think, oh, we just ban it and then they go away, right, But no, you're going to have people that refuse to give them up. So tell me how do you get all of the guns? Because that is the violence that would presage the violence and usher in the revolution. Like that's that's part of that's part of the trajectory, you know, right, So yeah, I'm not aware of I mean, like, you can vote in socialism, but you usually have to shoot your way out, and the socialism is just sort of the touchy feely rainbows and unicorn, you know, facade that they put on to make you not realize that they're putting you in the cage. Ernest I appreciate the call. Yeah, the history is very clear about how this happens. People can vote it in, but usually when you go for the hardcore communism, that's usually a very very very small portion of the population that is over educated. They come from privilege. They're the haves versus the have mores, and they are the leaders of the revolution, and then they weaponize the state against the people. Message from Thomas who says I found this quote many years ago describing socialism from Sir Winston Churchill quote, Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. Correct from the text line. Mike from Maryland says socialists nothing more than communists with patients. Correct. Eric says, Pete won't the citizens of New York realize Mom Donnie's policies are bad and then they'll get voted out next cycle? Maybe don't know. One might hope. To seven oh four numbers, says can't people just read Atlas Shrugged? Do we really need to live it? Yeah, people don't read anymore. It's one of the downsides. Jeff with a G says, sadly the Democrats hate Trump so much they won't heed his warnings. It'll be up to the right to stop the wolf after it kills the sheep and takes its skin. The wolf in sheep's clothing. By the way, fun fact, that was. The actual logo of the Fabian Socialists. They literally had as their logo a drawing of a wolf wearing sheep's hide, right, and people, The wolf in sheep's clothing kind of glosses the fact that, like, the sheep's clothing isn't really clothing because sheep don't wear clothes. They run around naked. Okay, it's their hide, which means what the wolf has to kill the sheep and then wear its skin suit and pretend to be the thing that it is not. That's socialists, that's the Fabian Socialists. They did eventually take that off of their crest because they were like, guys, this might be we might. Be giving giving away the game here. You know, it's a little too obvious. Mike from Cottswold says, love you, Pete, so clear, so concise. Thank you for your patient and meaningful education. Well, thank you, Mike, I appreciate it. Mitch says, Pete, I want to urge you to start making something clear. Okay, wait a minute, Mike just said I was clear and concise. Now Mitch is saying that I have to make something clear. Socialism is really easily as bad, if not worse than communism. The Soviet Union was really a socialist structure. The language is important. Democrats will and are using the term socialism as a trojan horse. People are accepting socialism. Have I not been clear about my I thought I ran through all of this, Mitch. I ran through all of that about people who are trying to use the term socialism and say it's actually different than communist. Yeah. I did a whole riff on that in the first hour. I lump you all together because socialism is just a waypoint towards communism. It's the same thing. It's the same authoritarian structure. Different there are distinctions without differences. Jeff says, a moderate Democrat is a Republican who has not yet become frightened at the new Democrat policies. Well, I've said. There's a realignment of the parties going on here, and it looks like one party is going to be more America loving free market and the other is going to be communists. That's the way it looks like right now that this is going I could be wrong, but Steven, welcome to the show. Hello, Steven, Hey, I just want. To say the socialism thing. A lot of Muslims seem to be leading the socialist positions, mayors mostly, and so it's a double ed scimitar because socialism is bad enough. But I don't think that the Muslims care much about the economy of socialist economy. They care more about isombifying those cities, small portions here and there throughout the country. And they know that they can spread that its zombification in such a way that they'll make it seem friendly and you know, along with the socialism idea, but it's about as zombifying cities. Yeah, this is this is the Yeah, this is the Red Green Alliance. It's called red being socialist, Green being Islamist. The Red Green Alliance the people who and we saw this in the the Iranian Revolution nineteen seventy nine when leftists banded together with the Ayahtola and you know what became the IRGC right with that revolution, and so they joined together to overthrow the government and you know, long live the revolution. And then as soon as the that Red Green Alliance got into power, the Muslims went and just slaughtered all the leftists. Yeah. So so so there's enough, there's enough people in this country that will vote for that. They don't care. They just want free stuff. There's plenty of looters, yea. The past thirty years have produced enough looters in this country to vote for that, not caring about what it does to the rest of the country, because they already have nothing to lose because that they strove to gain nothing. So now they have nothing and want everyone to have nothing. Well, and remember the I mentioned this earlier, I'll say it again. These the quote revolution is always led by sort of that the children. Of the elite class. Right. These these are people that come from the wealthier strata and they have, for whatever reason, have not attained the social status or the financial status that they expected. So they become disgruntled and they lash out at mommy and daddy, and you know, they're going to make their mark in some way, right They These are the privileged, uh you know, Champagne socialists or Cartier communists if you will, Right, these are these are nepo babies that always lead the revolution, and they do it in the name of the workers, but it's really to empower themselves to take control of the power structure because That's what this and that's why to your point about the Islamists and the and the communists is that it is about power. It's about how do we attain power and then and then what do you want to do with that power? They diverge because the Islamists want to implement, you know, a cal fate, They want to conquer the world for a law, whereas the socialists want to usher in utopia. So they're both kind of under this idea of ushering in a utopia, but you know, they they don't. They have different ideas about what that utopia is. Do you think that the Nipper babies hate their parents so they hate everything around them? I mean, just why would you lash out against the millions your parents have if they say, like like Mark, like cal Max, who's mother said to him, yeah, you're cut off and you get your PhD, you make your own money, And he said, screw you, and and he just. Yeah, he tried to bleed his parents completely bankrupt and darniar succeeded. Yes, Steve, but I appreciate the call. It's good stuff. Yeah. I do think a lot of them hate their parents. They have issues, They have issues with their parents, not all of them hashtag not all communists, but generally speaking, there is this failure to launch component. From the text line. Joe from York says, the guns are not going to be taken. The anti gun folks will just ban Ammo. Most folks don't have enough ammo on hand to defend against the gun removal. Seven four number says there is nothing called utopia, just hard work. Alan says, to quote from a children's movie, people without dreams are easier to control. Seven four number says, is there any place on earth that is utopia? No? No, That's why Marxism is a religion. It is like, that's why most socialists are quote unquote atheists, right, they don't, I say quote unquote because they like, they do believe in a faith and it's it's Marxism, Like that's their religion. This from Matt Tayebi, who is on the left. Right, he was a liberal and I think now he's been kicked out of it because like he didn't go full Trump derangement. I think at Racket News, he says, the days of dismissing the Democratic Socialists of America and New York mayor Zoron Mamdani are as. Lightweights are over. Those days are over. Okay. After his endorsed congressional candidates obliterated traditional Democrats in this week's New York primary, traditional Democrats are finished. Their card is punched. They will be replaced or more likely absorbed by a Mamdani led Democratic Socialist bureaucracy. Van Jones called it a new era for the Democratic Party. He says, this is not Bernie reducs Bernie Sanders, This is not Bernie Sanders, Redus Vermont's scruffy senator. Sanders will still. Be trotted out as a totem, a symbol of the insufficiently ruthless old days. He'll be tolerated, basically by the dsay's humorless young leadership. But he'll only be humored as that icon for the sake of having an icon, but as also a reminder that if you go along to get along like Bernie did, you won't win. What happened this week, he says, is being described in many places as a big win for populist or anti elite politics, but it's actually the opposite. This was simultaneously a wipeout of Clintonian party hack Yes and Bernie Sanders's staid FDR style Big ten politics. Both of those are being dismantled in favor of a slickly marketed revolution with a young ethnic vibe. The Zoron movement is an obvious elite fixation built on top of the exotically bat guano boutique ideas that America's nit wit rich find thrilling, like publicly funded gender reforming care, humanity has no borders, and my personal favorite, the Institution of the family acts as the carceral system. The institution of the family. This is what the DSA preaches. That the nuclear family is part of the carceral system. In other words, prisons. If the Sanders campaign was a reference on the presidency of Barack Obama, the Zoron DSA revolution is a referendum on America itself, led by people who aren't the least bit embarrassed to tell you that they hate this place to the point of viewing our government as an extension of the Israeli government, whose people deserve nine to eleven. This is what these candidates have been talking about, this is what they've been posting, this is what they believe. One of my favorites is this one of these women I think it's well, I forget her name now, she's got like four names or something, and she's talking about, oh, my own struggles with affordability. I couldn't find you know, a place to rent affordable in New York City whatever. She's she's been in college for like fourteen years, like, and studying sociology. I don't even know how you can stay in a sociology aartman that long, Like how at some point you run out of classes? They cannot be offering enough classes for you to go to school for fourteen years. Come on, yeah, no, wonder why you have no money? You've been in college for fourteen years? Lady? All right, that'll do it for this episode. Thank you so much for listening.
