Transcript
Alex, what did you mean earlier when you said progressives want you to be poor? I I may be paraphrasing. The modern progressive movement is clearly not progressive. Progressive is defined by the working class do better tomorrow than they did today and know it, right? To do that, you need things that you can do at scale now. vocational training on AI based systems, making our laborers more valuable, obviously closing the border so that you don't reduce the amount that you pay people and also eviscerate legal protections. This is not progressive. It's not progressive,
by the way, to have so little competence or willing to use force that we get overrun by drugs. Who do those drugs go to? Disproportionately poor people of color. It's not progressive to have crime rates. You know, to be a war zone, you have to have five deaths per 100 thousand. That's like half our cities. How's that progressive?
