All Right, so we went over the green part of the Red Green Alliance. Now we shall turn our attention to the red side of the Red Green Alliance. The red meaning the Marxists, the working class zeros that make up the DSA leadership. We have two more stories of these DSA crybaby NEPO baby millionaires that are you know, LARPing the revolution we call. A few weeks ago, probably we played some sound bites from a fellow by the name of Gustavo Gordillo, and he appeared on Fox News with Martha McCallum, and it did not go well. He wasn't particularly bright or articulate, and what he said raised a lot of eyebrows and prompted a lot of questions, and in fact, we now find out that there were people inside the DSA that were not happy with his performance. But a little bit more about him. Turns out his parents. Are loaded, loaded. They got so much money. They fled Peru back in like the eighties when he was a baby, and they fled during the communist revolution that was going on there. It was it the shining path Peruvian comis. So they fled. They came to America, and his daddy actually became quite successful. He made his money as the founder of Draft Pros, Inc. Which I think was like the original fantasy football. Company. No, I'm kidding. It specializes in engineering and consulting services, and so they're very, very wealthy. And so that's you know why, Like you see this guy Gordillo and the Nepo baby, and he's out there saying, you know, we need to seize the wealth and the means of production and think about the working class and the poor people. And oh and I'm totally a union member and all of this. I'm just a union electrician, is what he fronted as. It's all a lie, all of this stuff, these are just lies. He's LARPing, which is live action role playing. These are the people that go to like comic con festivals and stuff, or these conventions, video game conventions and stuff, and they get dressed up or sometimes they'll get dressed up in like like medieval gear and they'll go out and they'll, you know, they'll have like fake sword fights and stuff in the in the local park. That kind of stuff. That's LARP, live action role playing. So I do have hang on a second. I pulled out some of these clips. This was from back in July. It was a month ago. Gordillo talking to Martha McCallum. Here. Your family came here from Peru really in the middle of the heat of the Shining Path. They were Maoist communists 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. I think that much of what we could say is responsible for that. Actually it 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 in many countries. How they come here in many countries? He doesn't. He doesn't even realize the dumb assory that he's saying. Right, it doesn't even cross his mind. She's making a perfectly reasonable logical point, like if the problem is America, which to the Kamis, it's always America's fault for everything, right, Well, then why would you come here? Why would you go across all of these other countries to arrive in the place that's doing the bad thing to all of those countries supposedly? Right? Oh no, no, as it couldn't be that they were fleeing the Commis who were slaughtering villagers across the countryside. No, no, no, that's America's fault that the Commis are doing that. 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, correct. Next, 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, like 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 grade. And these are our immediate term demands, where we do have a long term horizon where we do want to democratize government. But in the short term, we're focused on affordability. We're focused on a. Working class economic Yeah, so these are just the short term things. This is the sales pitch. This is the warm fuzzies. By the way, why do you think they want the childcare? Why do you think they want to get access to all of the bibis you think there's. A reason for that? I do. In fact, let's see here, there is a I have it here in my bookmark someplace here. It is the DSAY in South Carolina. This is the Charleston DSA chapter. They are now running childcare training. It's just babysitting right. No, no, no, here's what they bill it as. This Monday evening from seven until eight pm for our our next Child Watch training. No experience with kids needed. Come ready to learn how to grow and support our next generation of comrades. We will review best practices, role play through scenarios, and get you ready to provide care at our general meetings. This is what you call indoctrination, right, they're training up the next generation of comrades of commis. You got to get them when they're young. That's what they're doing. And these are the pitches that they make to you in order to make you comfortable putting them in power. Yeah, I mean down the road. Sure, we're going to abolish federalism. We're going to quote democratize everything, right, because all they have are the theories. Every time this stuff gets put into. Practice, it collapses because of human nature, and then you get the most ruthless tyrants that ascend because the system allows itself for that. Whereas the founders of our country and the creators of our system, they recognized this human nature and so they worked to balance the different levels and branches of government because they recognized that people would fight each other inside of the governments in order to prevent somebody from becoming too powerful. But in socialism it's the opposite, which is why it's I believe, an evil ideology. It's based on envy and greed and such. So this is Gustavo Gordio. He also said nobody should be allowed to make double digit profits twelve percent. That was the number that was asked, because that's what the average landlord clears, twelve percent. And he said no one has a constitutional right, to which I submitted, we actually do. The life, liberty and pursuit of happiness the government. There is no constitutional right to a double digit return, but the absence of that means you do have that right the pursuit of happiness. You can have a triple digit return, quadruple whatever. All right, I'll give you the latest on Gordio. It's not good in a minute, all right. For over a year now you've heard me talking about Create a Video.

Thirty eight year old co chair of the New York City chapter of the DSA is running around talking about how we need to abolish private property ownership, redistribute land from landowners to the land less. And it's basically, you know, take my mommy and daddy's properties and give it to me. I guess I mean that's basically what they've been doing. The millionaire parents of Gustavo Gordio. They bought him a one and a half million dollar Brooklyn home where he lives while railing against the rich and property ownership. It's a two story, two thousand square foot row home on a gentrifying tree lined block in Bedford Stuyvesant. By the way, Gordio is a Yale University grad. You know what he studied. Think of your like, think of the most worthless degrees that you could probably get art he studied art at Yale. Do you need to go to Yale for an art degree? Do you need to go to college for an art Well? I guess for the degree, which is basically just a credential that then says, oh, yeah, you can get hired here because you went to Yale, so we know your folks have money or something, or you have the right politics, you are the right pedigree, very bougie whatever. He focused on sculpture, which, as I understand it, you could probably go and take a class for like forty bucks and throw as much clay as you want hone your skills that way rather than dropping, you know, hundreds of thousands of dollars on a Yale degree. But anyway, the Ivy League Radicals converted single family home was bought in twenty nineteen by his mom and dad, a dummy corporation called Tuquito LLC. Since then, it has undergone a major facelift. More on that, renovations to its entire front facade, the planting of landscaping, revamping of the interior, added a pair of decks on the roof as well as near the front door. That's according to plans that were filed with the local government. In twenty twenty three, Gordea's father talked to The New York Post. He said, my son and my other son both live there. He said, the LLC purchased the home and then we did the renovations. So he's using he's using a corporation to hide. His father confirmed that he also had rented a place for the DSA leader on the Lower East Side for twenty six hundred dollars a month through the same LLC for about three years when Gordea was working at an art gallery. That was before he became an electrician. In fact, his Twitter handle is at union Gordio. That's his Twitter name, indicating that he's in the union. He's a big union guy. He's a union electrician. Humble, He's got the humble upbringing there. I'm just a union guy doing electrical work. He's touted himself as a blue collar union electrician. Slight problem. They kicked him out. They kicked him out. He is on the same career path as Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders got kicked out of a commune after like a day because they were like, dude, you're lazy. You're not doing anything. Since twenty twenty four, he has stopped referring to himself as a member of the IBW Local three, instead just identified as some form of a union worker. Reports show that he joined the union sometime over the last few years, but there are no records indicating he made it through the seven year journeyman process. He told The New York Times earlier this year that he's no longer an electrician. It's unclear what he does to earn a paycheck except being co chair of the DSA, where he One of the first things that he did, along with his other co chair, was they got the DSA to pay them each like one hundred K salary. Yeah. Turns out the union had to put out a statement saying that he quit paying his dues and he wouldn't show up for work, so he kicked him out. He wasn't he wasn't keeping up with his studies in the journeyman program. Oh also his parents. They own another home in Boca Ratone five thousand square foot, five bedroom, six bathroom home in Boca Ratone currently on the market. It's for sale, folks, for three point one million dollars. But that is not where they live. They live in another home in Florida and Western Florida three million dollar value a little bit bigger, five beds. And seven bathrooms. So they have two homes in Florida worth over three million dollars, plus the apartment in Brooklyn that is his son's living and they're renovating, which they ran into some problems. Turns out you need some permits and such. From the New York. Post follow up to the Gustavo Gordillo story, working class costplaying Democratic Socialist of America leader Gustavo Gordio has not used a single union worker for renovations on his one and a half million dollar NEPO home in Brooklyn, and the city issued a stop work order Friday on the project. The City Department of Buildings Inspector slapped the order on the two story, nearly two thousand square foot bedsty homes door it dinged Gordeo for not getting proper permits for interior and exterior work renovation on the one point five million dollar home estimated to be one point four million dollars. Talk about a fixer upper. Huh, my goodness, you spent one and a half million on the house, which, as I understand it might have actually been two separate units. And they combined it into one. So they're doing one point four million dollars worth of work on a one and a half million dollar place, turning a two unit place into a one unit place, single family that he shares with his brother and is paid for by mommy and daddy. So apparently, despite you know, promoting for years that he was a union electrician, he did not even hire one to rewire his home. But maybe he did it himself, that's possible. Not one company that he hired for the project had any record of being union affiliated, according to the New York Post. Cordillo also, as I mentioned, was fired from his apprenticeship program back in March after he no showed his employer for months. That was confirmed by the union, and his parents bought him the place for him and his brother in twenty nineteen, and then he about five years later embarked on a blue collar path, which he obviously abandoned pretty quickly. He stopped showing up to work about the same time as his fellow privileged DSA member, Zorn Mamdani, was elected in November, so that's his run. So there was a post here from Vicki Palladino, who was a member of the New York City Council. And she's like, all right, let's recap the story of the DSA code chaired. Gustavo Gordillo lied about being a Union electrician. His father's a multimillionaire CEO who fled Communism. He owns multiple mansions and her landlords parents bought him a million dollar town home, converted it from two family to luxury single family, reducing housing inventory, displacing two tenants, spent another million on renovations, didn't use Union labor on those renovations, did not get proper permits for the renovations. Also lived in a Crown Heights apartment. In the meantime, stiffed the landlord got evicted and taken to housing court. And that's just what we know so far. She says, this is the DSA. This is who they are. Spoiled, brat rich kids with zero redeeming value. They're all like this. None of this is new either. There have always been kids like this. The difference is they now have a tremendous amount of power in New York and that's a problem. Yeah. Well, I mean, look, he is simp following in the footsteps of Karl Marx himself, also raised by wealthy parents, they gave him money for most of his adult life. They finally had to cut him off because they were like, you're not you're not doing anything to like earn this money. You've got a wife, you've got kids, and you're just loafing about. You're not showering. I mean, they didn't say that part, but he didn't shower. It's pretty gross. He got all sorts of sicknesses from it. But he would just spend his time drinking away the money that his parents gave him. And then when they cut him off, he started mooching off of Friedrich Engels, with whom he wrote the Kami Manifestos and such. So this is like, this is. The long line of these these nepo babies that you know their parents are are wealthy, and you know they are these kids believe that whatever they do is special and that they belong, you know, among the ranks of the elites. And then they go. To Yale they take sculpture, and now they can't get jobs, and so they're like burn it all down, give me mommy and Daddy's wealth. Like in another lifetime, these these are like the Menendez brothers, right, and then oh, hang on a second, before I get to the next case study. Here, Seth writes in on the text line, can we get a busload of squatters to move into that three point one million dollar Boca Ratone house that's for sale? How great would that be? I give that's love the idea. Yeah, use the DSA tactics against the DSA leadership's parents. And that brings us to Lulu Lennin. She called herself that Grace Ryan, Grace Ryan. She is also a New York City socialist. Self described Lulu Lenin, she said rich people like her have an obligation to help the less fortunate. She's a twenty five year old heiress to a chocolate empire from Ohio. She graduated from NYU this spring and worked as an organizer on Brad Landers congressional campaign. She has emerged as one of the most shameless members of the DSA. Why well. On Tuesday, she posted. That I have a moral obligation to use my advantages to help those who are struggling. Everyone's trying to dunk on me for being a progressive from a privileged background, but like have y'all never heard of nobless oblige? Yep, we have, Yes, it's not your situation. So we we have another DSA NEPO baby. This one's name is Grace Ryan, twenty five years old, and she says, everybody's trying to dunk on me for being a progressive from a privileged background. But like, have y'all never heard of nobless oblige, which is this aristocratic notion that with privilege comes a duty to help the less fortunate, right, But like that's on you. You have this obligation, you not government. So she attended, by the way thirty five thousand dollars a year Columbus Academy. Regularly takes to social media to defend her socialist views, also her family's fortune. Her father, Michael Ryan, a registered Republican, made his fortune buying Columbus's Marramour trucklates turned it into a ten million dollar national brand. She recently flaunted her summer at a family lakehouse, posting photos on Twitter formerly known as X of her puffing on a cigar on a boat wearing a four hundred dollars Ralph Lorenz stars and striped sweater. Another picture she posted to her gram was her next to a one hundred and fifteen thousand dollars Hummer parked in the driveway. This is Lulu Lennon. She says, I've been very outspoken about coming from a privileged background and being disturbed by income inequality from a young age. Right, so disturbed she is that she wears the expensive clothing she hoses in front of the expensive vehicle. She boats on an expensive water craft. Right, living her best life outward signs of opulence and wealth. But she cares, I'm virtue signaling that I'm a socialist. Like I don't want to wear a four hundred dollars sweater, I have to wear this. The recent graduate from a seventy thousand dollars a year New York University with a Bachelor of Arts degree of course also posted about being at a beach club in Montauk down at the east end Long Island, very tony, and attending a fifty dollars a class pilates class fifty dollars per class. Plot So that's for the people. See, it's only fifty dollars. She's only spending fifty dollars for her pilate lessons. Stu Smith an investigative analyst at the Manhattan Instane, points out the idea of nobless obliges conveniently lets the rich keep their fortunes so long as they deign to share a small portion of it. But the DSA's own program advocates for a classless society, a goal that Miss Ryan does not appear to be in any sort of a rush to advance. He said, quote, you could be someone who was an aristocrat that got revolutionary consciousness, but the concept she's invoking is totally antithetical to that. It is so absurd that she would bring that up because she's invoking a bourgeoisie ideal. It's so asinine and so arguably anti socialist. Guys, I'm starting to think that these DSA people are not very smart. I'm right, yeah, Like it's starting to become a parent. There's a writer and a podcaster named Michelle Tandler. She says the DSA is coming into full focus now. I think I finally get the whole theater kids comment. Right, We've called them theater kids. These people are not serious, They're immature. They want attention. They're acting. Most of them hardly held jobs. Almost all of them grew up really wealthy. Many did not perform well in school or at work. Most seem to lack serious ideas, charisma, or social lives outside radical leftist politics. Whether it's the young lady who did not pay rent for four years because she saw a cockroach. Remember that woman, We brought her story to you. She wrote a book about it called Abolished Rent, and she lists her way through presentations to all of the COMI conferences and such about how to organize tenants to go on rent strike so they bankrupt the landlord. Or the guy who pretended to be a union electrician while paying others to renovate his house that his parents bought him. Or how about Rama Duaji. That's Zora Mamdani's wife. She's an artiste. She made eight thousand dollars last year, yet is running around Europe to wellness retreats, pedaling nonsense. In this context, Zornmmdani is the perfect leader. Born rich abroad to wealthy international intelligency of parents, went to a fancy Northeast private college where he studied Africana studies aka Woke one oh one, lived at home and did not work for six years. After college. He failed at acting, failed at rapping, and ultimately went to work for a nonprofit, joined the DSA, and the rest is history. And these people are now in charge of New York City, she says. Part of me is terrified. Yeah, I see why, she says, but another part of me is curious to watch this all go down. These people will fail at running the city, just as they have failed in school and in their careers. They're not serious people, right. So I don't know how old this woman is. She may be a millennial, but see, this is tapping into gen X. Gen X, I will tell you, as a gen xer, so many of us, we are very interested to just watch how it burns, you know, like, oh, you're doing this really stupid thing. I'm gonna hang out over here and just watch that go up in flames if you don't mind. Thank you very much. I'm not saying don't fight at people. I'm just saying that's sort of just the natural inclination of all us gen xers. So we just want to see how bad this is going to get. All right, that'll do it for this episode.
