Speaking of John Brennan, let's talk socialists, shall we, right, So, the Democratic Socialists of America aka the DSSA. According to John Loftus at the Daily Caller, they are huffing zoron Mamdani's recent primary victory like it's Elmer's glue. They are hi baby. The DSA is riding high. They are looking at the Democrat Party and they are saying, look at me, I'm the captain. Now. That's what's happening inside the Democrat Party. And we now have video that was actually uploaded by the DSA itself after its Socialism twenty twenty five conference. Okay, they organized a Socialism twenty twenty five conference, a bunch of panel discussions about topics that are insane, but they are taking the moment to say the things that we on the right. We have known this about them because they are socialists, but usually they try to hide it. It's why they're, you know, the Democratic Socialists of America. And they'll they'll run their party members as Democrats and stuff to infiltrate the Democrat Party. And it has now been it. Well, I'll say it this way. It is approaching critical mass. The Democrat Party is going to be the Democrats Socialist Party very soon. That's my prediction. I don't make predictions, but even I can see this writing on the wall because I don't see any Democrat that's actually strong enough. I don't see enough Democrats that are strong enough to push back on this leftist surge that is swallowing up the party from inside. Their base is now largely these leftists, and as all leftists are, it is driven by grievance. And the Democrats have engaged in this grievance collection for twenty years, constantly telling people that they are aggrieved, that they are oppressed. The only reason they can't get ahead is this person over there, this corporation over there, this politician over there, and they're the reason you can't get what you want. And this lends itself to the other point that I talk about all the time, the tendency for interpersonalctimhood, which is a psychological I don't want to say disorder, but okay, disorder like. It is a way of viewing oneself as the perpetual victim, and it is a terribly corrosive way to think. When you view yourself first as a victim, that becomes your entire identity, and there are a whole lot of negative ramifications downstream of that. You have less empathy for other actual victims, right, you can't empathize with them. You become self centered, constantly making everything about yourself, constantly divining the worst motives in other people. You can look it up. It's called TIV tendency for interpersonal victimhood. That is the Democrat Party, that has been the Democrat Party for at least a decade, and so along come socialists promoting an ideology that is rooted in that very grievance collecting because socialism, communism is envy. That's the whole point. It is envy. It is these persons, these people over here have something and everybody else, including myself, should have that too. And rather than ask the person how they attained the thing you want and then doing the things that they did to get that, you just decide to take it. That is envious, right, So that is collectivism in a nutshell. It's envy. That's the religion of communism, Envy, Marxism, it's just envy, which is one of the seven deadly sins, right, which is why, like gun to the head, I would have to say Marxism probably inspired by Satan. So and I know how that sounds, I do, but I stand by it because I don't know if I was constructing any other kind of a philosophy that would more cater to what Satan would want. I don't know if I could conjure up something that would check all of the boxes that communism does. So the Democrats, the Democratic Socialists of America, had their conference and yeah, here I'll play this first clip. This is Daniel Golden. Now this clip, I believe this is the only one. This one's gonna it's gonna be a little tough to make out because he's still wearing a mask five years after the pandemic. In fact, all of the panelists are up there wearing masks, and they're not dressed in their antifu gear, so it's quite clear like they're not doing it to obscure their faces to avoid law enforcement. So they're doing it obviously because they're terrified that they're going to die from whatever communicable diseases. They're all breathing on each other. So Daniel Goulden, member of the New York City dssay's steering committee, speaking on a panel that DSA just uploaded from last month Socialism twenty twenty five conference. Zoron is literally attempting to do what conservatives say, uh, you know we want to do, which is provide gender affirmings carotan and with the lasses, you're free, and we're going to like shift people who are going to fly people in and pay for their hotel rooms. We're going to do all of the like Fox News stuff, like we're getting ideas for Fox News. I want to do that, hahah. We're getting our ideas from Fox News. Are you getting your ideas from Fox News? Or is fox News simply reporting on your ideas? So he says they are working with Zoron Mamdani and have been this guy has been working with Mom Donnie to craft his transgender platform for his run for mayor, and part of that platform is to pay for people to travel to New York City to get their surgeries free. He says, Zoron is literally a tempting to do what conservatives say we want to do, which is to provide gender refirming care to anyone who wants it for free. We're gonna fly people in and pay for their hotel rooms, which I'm not sure there are any hotel rooms left because of all of the illegal aliens that they have been putting up in the hotels so far. Like that, I don't know where they're going to find the space. Golden worked on Mandani's campaign. He helped to write the trans policy platform, and he says he still regularly meets with Zoron and his staff. But most importantly, as we collaborated with his Zoron Mundani campaign on his trans rights platform, and what we explicitly wanted to do was use the power of New York City to provide free gender affirming care. And I say free in case insurance companies decide to foot us off. Free gender affirming care not just to people in New York City, but across the country. When Zoron first kind of approached HESA leadership about running, his pitch was he said, I'm going to get socialists to vote for me, and I'm going to get Muslims to vote for me. With Zorin, we're in basically the best possible position to see state power that we can be in because you know, we're like this right. DSA has regular meetings with him led along his team. His policy director is my friend. I've been working with his campaign manager for well over a year. Uh, you know, I have friends who are in his staff. Trans Rights I always would say, you know, we are the tip of the spear. Trans rights are the tip of the spear. That's what he's saying. They're just telling you this. They're just laying it out at their conference, bragging, and they're super excited that Mandanie's probably going to win the New York City mayor's race. And as he said explicitly, we want to use the power of New York City. And then later in clip, he talks about seizing the state power because you got to understand, in Marxism it's all about power, that's it. It's because they view all relationships through power dynamics. That's a press or repressed. You're one or the other. Someone has more power than the other, and whoever has the most power, they win. Basically, so you have to try to get the power, seize the power of the state, and then use it to do quote good, which is what you think is good, not what the vast majority of people may think is good, but what you think is good the technocrats and leaders, the experts, which is why they're all still wearing masks. Here's a great idea. How about making an escape to a really special and secluded getaway in western North Carolina. Just a quick drive up the mountain and Cabins of Asheville is your connection. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, a honeymoon, maybe you want to plan a memorable proposal, or get family and friends together for a big old Cabins of Asheville has the ideal spot for you where you can reconnect with your loved ones and the things that truly matter. Nestled within the breath taking fourteen thousand acres of the Pisga National Forest, their cabins offer a serene escape in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

It's the perfect balance of seclusion and proximity to all the local attractions with hot tubs, fireplaces, air conditioning, smart TVs, Wi Fi grills, outdoor tables, and your own private covered porch.

Cabins of Ashville has the ideal spot for you for any occasion, and they have pet friendly accommodations. Call or text eight two eight three six seven seventy sixty eight or check out all there is to offer at Cabins Offashville dot com and make memories that'll last a lifetime. So the Democratic Socialists of America they held their conference last month. They posted video of their panel discussions up onto the YouTube and a content creator who goes by the name of Stu STU Studio. I'm assuming that's a homage to Phil Collins went through the panel discussions and pulled a whole bunch of audio clips from it and has been pushing out these audio clips. And these are the panelists in their own words, giddily celebrating the election of Zoron Mamdani, or I should say, the primary victory in the mayor's race in New York City, and how he is now on track to become the mayor of the financial capital of the world. A communist and he is, okay, he is a communist. And what we heard in the previous clip was Daniel Golden, a member of the New York City DSA steering committee, talking about how he worked with Mom Donnie to build out his transgender platform. As the mayor of New York City, what he would do, and that includes flying people into the Big Apple. I'm not sure if they're going to have to shave the apple or something as part of this operation, but anyway, to fly them into the Big Apple and put them up in hotels and give them their free transgender procedures, all at the expense of the New York City taxpayers, which are a lot of a lot of businesses, a lot of corporations. I guess he's going to pay for this with all of his you know, massive tax hikes on billionaires and corporations. They are openly planning to turn New York City into a national hub for trans healthcare, flying people in, paying for hotels, mailing prescriptions across state lines, and doing it on the taxpayer's dime. And it's not just about healthcare, says Stu Stu Studio. Not just about healthcare. It's about power. He says. There's no reason at all that you can't use telehealth and mailing prescriptions to people across the country to undermined state bands. The Zeign campaign was always eager to work. With us, so you already said they're going to do this in order to undermine bans on this stuff in other states. So if your kid in North Carolina can't get access to the puberty blocker hormones that they see all of the cool kids on TikTok using and they're confused. They're going through pure et puberty. They've got some questions. They feel uncomfortable and insecure, and they think maybe I'm actually the opposite sex. But I'm not allowed to get the puberty blockers because I'm under eighteen and I have not passed the psychological screenings to do so. Well, don't worry. I'll just email zoron Mam Donnie's trans health office and they'll send me some what's the point of this from a Marxist standpoint? What's the intersectionality here? It's undermining the family that's always been at the heart of this trans radical movement. It's to blow up the family unit, which is a hallmark. It's one of the core tenets of communism, the family unit. Don't take my word for it. The communists at this conference said that that's what they said. I mean, it's what Mark said, so it makes sense that that's what they would say too. But let me finish this clip. You know, we're like that. We wrote the platform with him. The team was so happy to work with us on this, and now he's going to be there. New York City could provide trans healthcare for every trans person in the country who you know can't afford it, and it like it would be a blip on our radar. You sure about that? Are you sure about the blip on the radar? I'm assuming he means that the cost to do this is not that much. I guess they've run the numbers. I don't know. It's a thing about Marxists. They usually don't run the numbers very well, and the numbers that they are running are usually based off of somebody else's work, right, sort of like their whole philosophy of economics, Like you can't actually value anything if you have no universal under standing of what currency is, right, so they use capitalism in order to construct their own economic model. But I digress. I'm assuming that there is some math that they have run that says it's going to call like there are x many people in America that want these services, so therefore it's going to cost you know, X times whatever, and then we can afford to do all of that on the New York City taxpayer dime. Once again, I will point out any corporation that is still left in New York City if this guy wins, you, like, if you're not looking to relocate your headquarters and move your people out of New York City, particularly in like the high income brackets and the high wealth industries. If you are on Wall Street, if you're not looking to move to the second largest financial capital of America, which is us Charlotte, you're doing it wrong. Hire yourselves some headhunters Charlotte firms, and go bring those people from up there down here, but make them sign a pledge that they can't vote Democrat. That's all I ask you. Know.

On the text line, John, a University of Maryland psychology major, said, it is clearly a disorder. Okay, well good enough for me, John, thank you. Pat says, when I was a kid many years ago, I would see an obviously wealthy individual getting out of a limousine and think, what do I do to be like that guy. I did not think he's keeping me down and is evil. It's a whole different mindset today. Yes, yes, we have generations now that have been taught that you are only where you are because of somebody else. And you know, people who are rich got that way because they abused other people, they oppressed other people, and well, I mean except their donors on the Democrat side, they didn't do that stuff. Bob says, Hey, Pete, I saw that Democratic Socialist of America panel from your clip. They were all, well that's just mean. Okay, they were heavy. Let me just say they were large Americans. Maybe you could hook them up with PhD weight loss so they wouldn't have comorbidities and could drop the masks. See, now, that would be a good opportunity. Set up, A set up a table at the DSA conference. At the convention, set up a table a booth, you know, for PhD. It might not go over so well though, because they focus a lot on protein, lean proteins and such, and I don't know if you're going to get all of that from a you know, potato chip diet. So anyway, Pete, you know what communists are, right, They are people who have nothing and want to share it with you. Bain says, what are the political benefits for socialists being so pro trans? It makes headlines for sure, but still seems to be a very small demographic. It is because transfolks are one of the many quote oppressed groups. Why not help out? Left handed albino Eskimos. I'm just miffed at the attention given to such a relatively small group. Okay, so this gets into your radical queer theory stuff. Similar to critical race theory. Again, everything is viewed through the victim mindset. And so when you have what has been referred to as the oppression Olympics, right, you gain cachet. You gain status when you are victimized, right, when you are an oppressed group. And that's what intersectionality is all about. And This is not me saying this. This is what they have said. This is their entire philosophy is intersection, Like, hey, you're oppressed because you are filling the blank. I'm oppressed because I am filling a blank, and because we're both oppressed by the same oppressor heterosexual white dudes basically and America generally. Therefore, our oppression intersects and our target then is the same. So we need to band together to target that, right, and particularly on radical queer theory and transgenderism specifically. Right. This is the accusation from several years ago that you know, these adults were grooming the kids, and that is what they were doing and still are with the books and the Drag Queens Story Hour and stuff. They call it education. But think about it. How do you know your multiplication tables now because somebody taught them to you, Right, they said this is true. And so when you have somebody coming in front of your six year old and saying this is true that a boy can become a girl and a girl can become a boy, then yes, that is the same thing. I was indoctrinated to believe that twelve times twelve is one hundred and forty four and that is true. Now it happens to actually be true. But if I tell kids stuff that's not true, and I tell them it is true, they will think it's true. And when they then become disassociated from their parents because their parents are like, well, whoa, whoa, what are you talking about? No, there are only two genders Like nah, people I trust at the school you sent me to they said there are seventeen genders or seventy genders or however many they say there are. Now it causes the rift in the family. Here, let me play this clip. This is another panelist explaining the strategy of radicalization. People come through to the DZA by Laozoron. That's awesome, but then we can help them be basically become more radical. Zora is his. First step, and then all of a sudden, you're doing all kinds of awesome organizing. So I know it's hard to understand because he's talking or she is talking through a mask. I don't I couldn't tell anyway, Well, they're wearing a mask. Jizure was wearing a mask, so I don't know. But what do they say that people are coming to socialism through zor On? Mamdani because he's telegenic, right, because he smiles a lot, and he's this soft sell of socialism. I just want to help everybody. I'm speaking to the people's issues. And what are the people's issues. They're like, New York City's unaffordable. We can't afford to buy anything, we can't afford to live here, right, they want a liveability, And so he promises that I'm gonna take it from these other people. I'm gonna give it to you. You won't have to change anything about what you're doing. We're just gonna rob them to pay you. And they're like, oh, well that solves all my problems. Awesome, All I need to do is vote for you. Fine, But that's the entry point. And what this other socialist is saying is that then we can once they come in via Zoron now we can help them become more radicalized. They are not hiding anything here anymore. People. It is out in the open. They are giddily, gleefully talking about radicalizing people towards communism. That's the purpose. They're posting this stuff proudly. They are building a machine. This machine is rooted in radicalism. It's going to be empowered by the city government, and this is the largest city in America, the financial capital of the world. In another session of the Socialism twenty twenty five conference, the Marxists taught about how a core tenant of the religion ideology is destroying the family unit. Right, So what you just heard that person say that we're going to help them become more radicalized towards more awesome organizing, is what they said. But the radicalization via the trans movement is to break up the family unit, which they view, as all Marxists do, as the chief hurdle in destroying the free market. All right, if you're listening to this show, you know I try to keep up with all sorts of current events, and I know you do too, And you've probably heard me say get your news from multiple sources. Why, Well, because it's how you detect media bias, which is why I've been so impressed with ground News. It's an app and it's a website and it combines news from around the world in one place, so you can compare coverage and verify information. You can check it out at check dot ground dot news us slash pete. I put the link in the podcast description too.

The Democratic Socialist of America had their Socialism twenty twenty five conference. They uploaded the video of all their panel discussions and if you want to know what they have in store for everybody, this is what they are talking about, not just the free trans healthcare for every American. They will fly you to New York City, put you up at a hotel, and give you free trans surgeries and stuff. I don't know if that's on an ongoing basis, Like what happens when you go home and you have to keep taking the drugs. Do they keep paying for that? I don't know, not sure. Sarah says there isn't a prohibition against adults who desire trans surgery, so why would New York City provide it for free plus lodging. It's for the kids. Yeah, it's for the kids, and for people who don't have it covered under their insurance policies if they work for the state government, for example, is New York going to provide free surgery for other conditions? Why not? No, please those other people with those other conditions. They don't vote Democrat in large enough numbers. So this is the idea. The core tenet of the religion of communism is to destroy the family unit. One member of the audience. You can hear him say, I want he won't be happy until I can perform abortions at a church before it's all said and done, as part of the revolutionary harai In. That's what he's looking forward to doing, to do abortions in churches, that's what he wants. Another panelist said that the only real difference between marriage and prostitution is the price and the duration of the contract. That's what they believe, that's what they think marriage is. We can fight for family oblition, We can imagine family oublitions because we have seen black horse and do it because we have seen these like indigenous communities do it. Hear what she said there, I know it's through a mask. We can fight for family abolition, abolishing the family structure. We can fight for this because we've seen how black women have been able to do it in their communities and Indigenous people, but mainly Black Americans. Look at all the single black moms. They're showing us the way. This is the way of the future for the socialists, for the collective. We can do this. Notice what does not factor into the equation is the child right single parent home doesn't have a male role model, if it's a boy, the negative impact of that scenario. This is not a slight or a knock on single moms at all, just pointing out it's different. There are benefits. Dudes bring something different to the table, but that's not even really the point. The point is the abolition of the family. Some other tidbits, sex, work and marriage can't exist without each other. They're two sides of the same coin. We argue for abolition of the family. In general, the institution of the family acts as part of the carceral system. In other words, prisons they believe families the family, and it is part of the carceral system. It feeds incarceration, which is absolutely asinine. When we talk about family abolition, we're talking about the abolition of the economic unit. All of our material needs will be taken care of by the collective, the state, the government, the Levah. Than listen to what they are openly saying they want to do. I think the left is constantly surprised at how cute people are, you know, ready for. Revolts, despite you know, the extremely dire conditions that we're in that keeps becoming more and more dire every day. I know she's talking through a mask, so I will translate. She says, she's it's funny how the left is always surprised at how many people are ready for revolution, talking about obviously how Democrats didn't see Zoron Mehmdanni come in and oh my gosh, like everybody was so shocked at this. And I don't know why they're shocked, but they always seems so shocked at how many people are ready for the revolution. Like Senator Elizabeth Warren, she made an appearance at a campaign stop with Zoron Mamdani. She is embracing it. When someone stands up and says, I will lead this city by making it more affordable. And here are my plans, real plans. Plans to deliver on childcare, plans to deliver unhousing, plans to deliver an experiment. We're going to try things on groceries. That is the democratic message. Try things on groceries. Here what she said they're trying like because Honey's proposal is to have government run grocery stores. We covered that a couple of weeks back. That's his bold new vision, government run grocery stores, which has a wonderful track record just around the world and historically always turns out fantastic. The lines get a little long, but everybody has access to the same amount of food, which is none. But he has a way around that conundrum. I don't know if you heard this. There was an update when somebody asked him about this in an interview and his response was, this is pretty innovative, so you're going to have to kind of think about it for a couple of seconds. I think he says the key is going to be buying in bulk. I don't know. I didn't see it earlier. Folks, this all makes sense now. In fact, you know Sam's Club and Costco might want to look into this idea, that this could drive huge profits for those two companies. Right, Have you guys considered buying everything in bulk and then you could save on the unit costs. Have you thought about that? It's brilliant, brilliant idea. Also brilliant. The cover of the New York Post shows a picture of Mamdani and Warren. It says Mamdani and Warren in Liar's summit. And here's the headline, African American meets Native American. And you remember, we all know about Senator Focahontas right claimed to be Native American when she was not. But Mamdani also when he applied to Columbia University, where his father was a professor, he still didn't get in. His grades must have been terrible, but he claimed to be African American in order to try to get preferential treatment so he could get into the college. So that's why the headline African American meets Native American New York Post. You've done it again. All right, that'll do it for this episode. Thank you so much for listening.
