Now that I've returned, will they will they cease the bombing? Not sure. We'll get into some of that as well. Welcome to the program. Pete Calendar here back from vacation.

It's where I was birthed and spent the first eighteen years of my life before I fled the city much like Kurt Russell, and I was actually in the city. I was out on Long Island. I was about fifty miles outside the city, and so I go up there to visit, visit the folks. They're doing okay. Thanks for asking, even if you didn't, they are doing okay. And first off, I think it's time to nuke Canada for Like I'm like, guys, if you can't manage all of your forests up there, then like we can just take them all out for you. I'm not saying nuke Canada like kill everybody. I'm saying nuke Canada and kill all the trees. Just take out all the trees. You've seen the old videos, right, what happens with the nuclear blast and is like the trees get bent all the way over and all the leaves get stripped off of them. It's just like devastation wasteland. I feel like that, like that might be what we have to do, because man, it was brutal up there, like this. The sun was blotted out from the wildfires up there. It was crazy. It was like dusk all day long for two days. I came back to Charlotte. I was like like hacking up and like blowing my nose, and it's just like all this crud com. Oh it's gross. No, I did not eat taco bell, So there is that. But the other thing I noticed, Oh my gosh, you think you get a lot of zoron mom Donnie stuff here in the news? Holy smokes. It's like no pun intended there. I mean, it's like the guy is on every news story in the local you know, New York City news, even the Long Island local broadcaster Mmm l I twelve or something like that. It's just all mom Donnie, Mom Donnie, Mom Donnie, Donning, my Donning, my Donnie, just all the time. Holy smokes. So I have been uh oh. And then I also saw I'm gonna play some of this speech for you, Arco Rubio's speech that he delivered at an international summit on leftist violence, which I'm assured does not occur anymore. But they had a big conference about it, and so we saw that great speech. I've been very impressed with Marco Rubio as Secretary of State. But the DSA stuff has now started. Like I don't know if this is like some sort of a coordinated effort, like a pr outreach kind of a thing that the party is doing, or maybe now people are just kind of waking up and saying, oh my gosh, this is something like important that we need to be paying attention to, which I do agree. In fact, I saw Jamie Metzel. I mean I didn't see I saw a tweet from Jamie Metzel who said, I am a lifelong Democrat. I served on President Clinton's National Security Council and in this department under Madeline Albright. I am also a lifelong human rights and civil rights advocate. But every Democrat and every American should recognize that the DSSA represents a fundamental threat to our party and our country. Correct, you are correct, Indeed it does. I saw also this weekend Bill Maher. He told ABC's Jonathan Carl I think it was that his vote is up for grabs. He apparently told this to jd Vance because he's like, I'm not on board with communism. I'm out, Like that's it. Jamie Metzill goes on to say, this is not a story about a few idealists seeking to reduce healthcare costs. It's about a small group of radical extremists pursuing a strategy to take over the Democratic Party and ultimately our country in order to impose agenda that would devastate our economy and fundamentally dismantle our system of government. Correct, you are correct, Jamie Metzel And then he says, don't take my word for it. Listen to the full conversation between Fox News' is Martha McCallum and New York City DSA co chair Gustavo Gordillo or Gordil So I did. I went and watched that fourteen minute interview. It was not very well done, but it was an interview nonetheless, and some interesting things that the DSA now feel comfortable saying out loud, which, look, I am glad that socialists are finally proud to, you know, declare themselves as such openly and to tell us the thing that they want to do, which, once again to channel Barack Obama, fundamentally transform a Maria. That's what they want to do. That's what they say they want to do. Fundamentally transform this country. Now, why would you fundamentally transform something that you love, Well, you would not. You would fundamentally transform something that you don't like very much because you don't like it. You would like to see it be something fundamentally transformed differently. Right, That's what those words mean. That's how I've always interpreted it when Obama said it, and it's how I interpret it when the Socialists and the Commis and the marxistaid, Look, I lump all of those folks together. Okay, I am done playing the semantic game of well, actually socialism and communism are different. No, it's all the same to me. Don't care for any of it. All of it gets all lumped together into the evil basket. It's just a big basket of evil based on envy. That's at the core of this. And this is actually a very ancient thing. This is not new. Marx just wrote it in a more contemporary fashion, channeling the demon that apparently assaulted him. I don't know if it's the same demon that assaulted Tucker Carlson. I do not know, but this is this is the most logical explanation for me. I mean, when you write poetry to Lucifer as Marx would do, and you know, you celebrate the demonic as he did, I kind of like, I'm going to connect those dots. That's me. You don't have to, you do not have to connect those dots, but I am. I'm connecting the dots. So I watched this interview with Gustavo Gordillo. Gordillo, and whatd it surprise you to learn that he is one of these over educated sons of immigrant, a son of an immigrant, second generation or first generation actually American. His parents fled from Peru that was experiencing what a communist civil war. That's where his parents fled from. All right, so we'll get to that in a minute. All right.

From the text line, Mike from Mary, Maryland says, Pete, I heard you mentioned Bill Maher. He has gained so much respect from me over the past year or so through interviews. I've seen him give He's a lefty, sure, but he can see that the Democrat Party has been hijacked by the commis. The problem is the everyday Democrat voter doesn't educate themselves on what's going on, and until they do that, the party will continue heading down the path of no return. Well, and this is what Jamie Metzel was pointing out, saying, the Democratic Socialists of America represents a fundamental threat to our party and our country talking about the Democrat Party, and he said, don't take my word for it. Listen to Gustavo Gordillo, who is the New York City DSA co chair, And I think this is the thing that they do in the DSA, Like there are all these co chairs because it's all democratic, don't you see. So they're co chairs. We don't want one person to have that kind of power, until, of course the psychopath takes over the revolution and then it ends up like every other communist experiment. But anyway, here they start off this interview, This is with Fox News is Martha McCallum, and she starts off with a question about his parents who left Peru to come to America. Your family came here from Peru really in the middle of the heat of the Shining Path. They were maoist communist gorillas in Peru. So why did your family come to America. The economic situation in South America and in Peru was in a really bad place. But I think that much of what we could say is responsible for that actually was the imposition of capitalism and American imperialism in many cases is actually what brings immigrants to the US outside coming out of Latin America, and. They come here because they don't like the imposition of American imperialism in the country that they're in. Yes, in many countries, how they come here. In many countries, you know, there have been undemocratic coups that have destabilized countries and that's pushed people out. Oh well, you would think they would want to go somewhere that wasn't imposing that on them, if that was If that were the. Case, yeah, that's weird, isn't that weird? They were they So what he's saying is that his parents were economic migrants. That's what he said. That the economic situation wasn't very good in Peru in the eighties nineties, I don't know when, probably like the eighties. So his parents fled that country, which was being riven by a whole bunch of commed groups that were massacring peasant villages because of capitalism. Obviously the peasants. I mean, really, what better avatar of capitalism do you know than the peasant class, right, I mean really, that's why the commis had to, you know, murder them all. So, like tens of thousands of people were murdered in Peru. So, okay, so they're economic migrants. They flee Peru because of the impact of capitalism. That's what he blamed, right, that this was the imposition of capitalism on Peru. So they leave Peru and they go to the country that's even more capitalists than Peru. That doesn't make sense, dude, I don't think you know your origin story. He did say also that his dad worked at like a Wendy's when he first got here, and his mom, I think cleaned hotels or something she was in like janitorial services whatever, and then they became successful. Now he doesn't say how successful, they became, obviously successful enough for him to get over educated at a little communist factory aka college. So yeah, that's that's his origin story. Kind of odd, but actually not really. These are always the leaders of the revolution, right, the people's revolution, always led by the same characters. They come out of the universities. I've said this many many times. They are they haves versus they have mores. That's their fight, not the haves versus the have nots. As I mentioned the Shining Path commies, they murdered a whole bunch of peasants, not very working class of them. But then again, who even knows what working class means? Me? Mom Donnie was asked what's working class? And he doesn't want to put a number on it, so it could be like a million dollars. I guess that's working class to mom Donnie, which makes sense because he comes also from a life of privilege, never had a real job, right, failed artist rapper, so again same character they have. Apparently a police up in New York City made an arrest what appears to be a short, waddling little person who dumped a bunch of gasoline like from a bucket, like an orange five gallon bucket, like the kind you would get it like a home improvement store or something, and dump this bucket of gasoline apparently on the sidewalk in front of a federal building that houses an immigration court, and then lit it on fire. Darn near lit herself on fire. I'm thinking it's a female, but I don't want to ascribe gender. So but that's what just with the gate and the waddling and the just the form that this this little pudgy person, UH had so and I can say that, by the way, I am allowed to say that as a formally pudgy person an FPP, I can say that. So they they took this person into custody. So once again, probably a tea partier. I'm thinking tea party, Mormons, maybe some maybe a Mormon. Maybe that's the it'll be a brainbuster, all right. So back to this Hose Gordio. He is the New York City DSA co chair on Fox News with Martha McCallum who asks him about the party's platform to abolish the US Senate. That is a plank in their platform to abolish the US Senate as it is currently constructed. We think that the Senate should be reformed, that we should have a more democratic government system. But that's a long term change that we're seeking, and in the short term we're focused on issues like affordability, like freezing the rent, which we've just done in New York, in creating a universal childcare system, which we're also taking steps toward doing, like fixing our energy grid. In twenty twenty three here in New York, we passed the Build Public Renewables Act, which would create publicly owned renewable energy to have a more reliable, cheaper, cleaner energy grid. These are our immediate term demands, where we do have a long term horizon where we do want to democratize our government. But in the short term we're focused on affordability, We're focused on a working class economic. Okay, did you hear that? Did you catch that word that he used there? Immediate term demands, These are our idiate term demands, right, So the promises and the slogans for free stuff under the you know, affordability or working class economic agenda. These phrases that they are using, right, these are all immediate term demands, because that is how commi's roll. They make demands of you, right, So they're making these sales pitches with all of the free stuff for you. Now, long term fundamental transformation, long term fundamental transformation. That's what he just said. And by the way, lest you think that he does not want to abolish the Senate, they he's just trying to dance around it. Probably knowing that he's on Fox News. He says, oh, that's long term horizon kind of stuff. So here is another DSA co chair of the I believe this is the National Organization, ash chik Sidig on c SPAN, who says, yeah, DSA wants to abolish the Senate, which, by the way, is actually unconstitutional. If you're the bodega owner. No, hang on a second, that's mcallum again. Sorry. Here's we do believe. That government should be proportional to the population, and that that's a very basic core principle. So the House of Representatives is more democratic that way, and we just don't see the point of the Senate Historically it was meant to serve very wealthy people who owned a lot of land, and that's still a system that we have today, and it's something we would change. We would expand what what the House of Representatives does and make it more actually representative of people who who live in this country. So would you like to abolish the Senate? That's that's part of our platform, and we don't think that's extreme. We think it's it's a change that would help make this country more democratic. Not extreme at all to abolish the Senate. Let me just remind this moron. Article five of the Constitution states, in part no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate. Because Article one, Section one says all legislative powers here in granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives. Article one, section three says each state shall have two senators. So you have to change the constitution to do this, and there is a process for doing that. Do you really think you're going to get all of the states that are going to lose senators so we'll just be governed by new York, California, Texas, and Florida, although New York might fall off that list pretty soon. That's what they are pushing for. But wait, there's more. It's not just the abolition of the US Senate and the expansion of the House of Representatives. No, no, no, they also would like to abolish the US Supreme Court. See, this is what you do to a form of government that you loathe. You fundamentally transform it, you destroy it, you rip it apart because you don't want it to function the way it's functioning. The Senate is there to protect the interests of the states because the states created the federal government. That's why that that's why that happened. And the Senators were originally appointed by wait for it, that's right, the legislatures. The US Senate was not actually popularly elected until Woodrow will that jerk, Yeah, until the progressive era. Now, I don't think we're ever going back to a point where you're gonna have state legislatures appointing the Senators. But the point there was to act as a check on federal expansion into the jurisdiction in the purview of the state's role. That's why there was two of these bodies. The founders created these things for reasons that they spell out at great length. They wrote all sorts of stuff about it, they talked about it, debated it. It was all I mean, these people are just historically illiterate or they're counting on you being so, which, considering they've been in charge of K twelve education, you probably are. All right. I got two more clips, two more sound bites from mister Gordillo, the ds in the New York City DSA coach airman, Gustavo Gordio, first generation immigrant family from Peru that fled because of capitalism and went to America where there's no capitalism. Yeah, here is uh what hang on a second? Over here? There we go. Here is cut three. If you're the bodega owner, how would you feel if the government opened a big grocery store right next to your bodega? If one, if one publicly owned grocery store that brings prices down in the neighborhood is enough to put someone out of business, then maybe they shouldn't have been in that business in the first place. Interesting, she does not know how to respond. She may not have been the best person to do this interview. But she's just dumbfounded by what he just said there, Like this guy obviously has no experience running a business, right, making a payroll, competing in the marketplace. Because when the government comes in and opens up a grocery store next door to your grocery store, your little bodega, your little food shop, your grocery, they have tax money, limitless taxes. Right, they're going to be undercutting your prices so people will not be purchasing your products, and so then you lose money and then you go out of business. That's how that happens, right, And he's like, well, maybe you know if it's one grocery store, yeah, but it's right next door. Her example was this government run grocery store which is costing thirty million dollars to build, and like they build grocery stores for like two to three million, and the government in New York City spending thirty classic gov co. So he's like, oh, then maybe you shouldn't have been in there. You shouldn't have been in that business, like who were you? See this is it's always about the control with these commies. Well, then maybe you shouldn't have been in business at all, Like they blame the victim. They do this thing to you, and then they're going to blame you for your failure because they did this thing to you that caused you to fail. And then he turns a question about the homeless camps, which Mum, Donnie's like, we're not getting rid of any homeless camps. Okay, So he turns this this question about homeless camps into a housing response. The problem we're facing in our housing system is that we talk about tenants and we say they have to pull put pull themselves up by their bootstraps, they have to be responsible financially. But when we look at the landlords, we don't. We don't use those same standards landlords in New York have in making a twelve percent return on their investment. No, for on average, should they make what's fair for the landlord to make. If you don't like. Twelve, they're complaining that twelve is not enough. And we don't think that anyone should have a constitutional right to double digit returns on their investment. That's why we've implemented no one should have a right to. A double digit return on their investment. No one has a right. No one's in that that's not in the constitution. But what we see is that when we implement a rent freeze, we have landlords who are crying that the government is going to put them out of place. It's going to run a business. You have no constitutional right to a double digit return on your investment. Once again, he knows better than you you don't have that constitutional right, which actually you do. Yeah, you do have a constitutional right to any return on your investment, no matter if it's triple digit. It's right there in the Pursuit of happiness part. That's what that's about out see. But they couldn't say your unalienable right to life, liberty, and property. They didn't want to say that. The Founders didn't want to say property. You know why, slavery. The Founders did not want property put in the language because they didn't want certain states to use that as proof that we have a constitutional right to own human beings. So they said pursuit of happiness. There was a big debate about it too, historically illiterate buffoons. These people are and very dangerous, very dangerous. It's not in the constitution. Good lord, these people are morons, all right. That'll do it for this episode, Thank you so much. For listening.
