➡ The text discusses the potential negative impacts of implementing communism and socialism in New York City, using the example of rent control and public grocery stores. The author suggests that these policies could lead to the deterioration of the city, similar to the effects seen in the Bronx in the 1970s due to rent control. The author also argues that these policies could drive out private businesses and lead to shortages in goods and services. Despite these potential issues, the author believes that experiencing these consequences could serve as a reminder to future generations about the failures of communism and socialism.

➡ The text discusses the speaker’s views on politics, the economy, and the role of politicians. They believe that politicians who understand budgeting and the finite nature of resources would be more effective. They also discuss the concept of public choice theory, which suggests that government workers and politicians are driven by self-interest rather than impartiality. The speaker uses the example of an EPA agent protecting a bird species to illustrate how this self-interest can lead to bureaucracy and misuse of power.

➡ The text discusses the negative impact of government bureaucracy and regulatory capture on industries and individuals. It highlights how government officials can misuse their power, leading to unnecessary actions like killing healthy ostriches due to a non-existent plague. The text also explains how large companies can manipulate regulations to their advantage, stifling competition and leading to monopolies. Lastly, it expresses hope that a shift to a gold standard could reduce these issues, but acknowledges potential chaos during the transition.

➡ The text is about someone who wakes up each day and month questioning if something significant will happen. They’re hopeful that the awaited event will occur soon.

I can’t think of a better city to be the poster child for that. Communism doesn’t work for the 21st century than new York City. Bring it on. I couldn’t imagine a better fate than a long and lustrous winter. If you’re going to take a direction that is going to decide things, that’s going to be very clear and it’s going to make people realize consequences of actions, Mandani is going to do a lot better than Andrew Womb when Andrew Cuom was a mass murderer. So you would have voted for mom Donnie and then moved out immediately? Probably, yeah.

Yeah, I would have moved. Of course I would have moved out. I would be scared for myself. But before you, before you move out, I want to make sure that I let Andrew Cuomo know. Hey, guys. Raf here from the endgame investor with this month’s edition of the bitter endgame draft with Phil Lowe. Phil. Hey, Phil. Phil. Hey, guys. Raf here from the end game investor with this month’s edition of the bitter end game draft with Phil Lowe. The man, the legend with the, with the Rumble Channel Bitter draft link in the description or in a pinned comment, whichever one I choose.

Phil, my brain is a little bit fuzzy today as we’ve discussed. How’s your brain? Oh, my brain’s doing fine. Okay, good, good. I, I’m, I’m over. I’m not overwhelmed, but I’m a little bit edgy from something that we’re going to talk about from Zoran Mamdani’s win in, in New York City. And I think you were complaining about some kind of Virginia elections or somebody, right? Yeah. Yeah. You told me that something bad also happened in Virginia. It looks like the socialists are back in their ascendant. I don’t, I don’t necessarily think that Mom Donnie’s election is a bad thing.

I mean, it’s going to have bad consequences for some people, but it might be an overall good. I’m not sure. But. But I’ll make my case on that later. How are you? Besides that? Yeah, the. And the attorney general who’s running for Virginia had texts where he was talking about killing the opposition leaders children in front of him, like wishing that he said, I think he will change his point on gun control if I murder his children in front of him. And he accidentally sent that to a Republican congresswoman. State. State House rep. And then he like, didn’t even.

He wasn’t like, oh, I was just joking. He’s like, no, no, this is because she confronted him on. And he’s like, no, no, I, this is my, this is my true belief. I think people need to experience pain before they will change their minds on subjects which I think you might agree with in the Zorin Momdani case. I don’t know. Yeah, I mean, he’s right. I would. I don’t think it’s such a bad thing in isolation to say that if I kill someone’s children, they will change their mind on gun control. It’s a hypothetical. I think it’s true.

It might not be true. Wouldn’t change my mind on gun control. It would. It would make me even more liberal on. I can’t be any more liberal on gun control because I’m totally against gun control. But. Yeah, anyway, in the broader sense, the Republican Party, you know, the platform that they ran on in 2024 that drove to great success was a coalition of the, the Maga diehards, the Maha people and the Libertarians. And as soon as they got in, they have chased away, they’ve at least chased away the Libertarians and they’ve chased away some of Maha and some of the.

Most of the people who wanted reforms. I would say the people want government reforms and the people who want a smaller government because it’s not possible. If they tried to, if they actually shrank the size of government, the dollar would collapse. So they’re doing everything they can to keep the dollar alive. I mean, they just. Donald Trump, Donald Trump did not run on saying, I’m going to. It’s going to be a tough road, but, but we’re going to get back to a gold standard, have real prosperity on the other side of a lot of pain. What did Donald Trump run on? I’m going to be the Candyman.

We’re going to have immediate prosperity and you’re going to live better than you’ve ever lived before. So he cannot, he cannot abandon the system. He has to be the Candyman. I just got a. I just saw on Twitter he’s going to do a $2,000 tariff dividend for all Americans. So mask. Okay, that just broke over the wire. I’m not even sure if it’s true or not, but that’s dividend. That is so Orwellian. Wow. Well, okay. Because we lost. You know, they, they got slaughtered in the state election. So I think, I think the plan is to just throw out a bunch more candy money and hope that people, people wander back to.

Wander back to the Republican side. But you can see, I mean, what are the choices? It’s left wing socialism or right wing socialism. There’s no other choices because the money’s fake. So pick your poison. Yeah, well, I would pick right wing socialism over left wing socialism. But if we’re go. If we’re going to go full, you know, as the saying goes, you went full retard, man. Never go full retard. Mamdani could be a good thing because as we know, he’s. If his policy. Look, if City hall can stop him from, you know, implementing his policies. I don’t know what the breakdown of City hall is in New York City, who controls what seats, or if Mandani can just do whatever he wants because everyone’s a Democrat.

I mean, it could be. It could be that he has enough, at least blue power to get anything passed. The only hope would be the. I mean, the only hope to stop the communist revolution going in New York City would be the. The neolibs. And I don’t. I don’t think they have the stomach. Yeah. So if, if, if New York City is going to go full socialist and Mamdani can do what he says he wants to do, even like 60, 70% of it, the city’s going to be destroyed. Yeah. It’s going to look like it’s gonna.

It’s gonna look like it was bombed. Because the first thing I think that landlords are going to do if there’s rent control everywhere is get rid of their properties and sell them as fast as they can. Because if you want to, they’re not going to be able to maintain them or fix them or anything. Forget it. If you want a great historical parallel, look up the Paris Commune. Because if you want to look at what happens when a city goes communist, but like the rest of the country doesn’t. Yeah, look up the Paris in like the 1870s, I think it was like Paris had, like, Paris alone had a communist revolution.

And like the state, I think it was Napoleon iii, but somebody, you know, whoever the ruler was, like, they basically put the city under siege to. To get the communists out. It was the only way because they were. And, and everything, everything was happening inside was just pure communism, really. So there was a. There was a communist revolution in 1870 in Paris. Yes, yes. Look up the Paris Commune. I mean, it wasn’t like. I mean, I think Marx was still alive and maybe even hadn’t finished all his works by that point. So it was. I don’t know if they even call themselves communists the way we think of communism.

But yes, there was, there was. Just tell me more about that because I have. No, I had no idea that was ever a thing. A French revolutionary government seized power in Paris on 18th of March 1871 and controlled parts of the city until 28th May 1871. So it was a violent revolution. It wasn’t like they voted the commies into Paris. Yeah, yeah. No. It was during the Franco Prussian War, which France was losing. So at the time that looks like the Parisians revolted. Wasn’t it. Wasn’t that the ascendance of. What’s his name? Bismarck? Yes. Right. He was like the pre, the pre Nazi.

Yeah, yeah. German unifier guy. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. He. He brought back like German nationalism from. What was it, the Holy Roman Empire had collapsed in 1807, if I remember correctly. And he was the second. Okay. Yeah, pretty good. Pretty good. Rafi. Yeah, I. I don’t know. Some dates just like stick into your head. Also The Spanish Armada, 1588. I remember because of a certain movie. Spanish Armada, 1588. That is correct. It’s. Yeah, it’s pretty gross. Anyway, anyway, so if you want a good idea. Now there was. That, that was. The Paris Commune was a revolution. I mean, it was during a.

Wartime and stuff and a. Via revolution. But socialism. Socialism does the same thing every single time. So, you know, know, I, I fully. You know, we talked about this before. Like you could buy an ounce of. You could buy a house for 100 ounces of silver in Weimar Republic. There’s a reason for that. Because when you bought that house for 100 ounces of silver, when you went into the house and you. Not 100 ounces of silver. Right, right. They said 100 ounces of silver. Yes, yeah, yeah. 100 ounces of silver. When you, when you bought this house and you walked into your new palatial estate on the riverfront of Berlin and you opened the curtains, you would see Ernst Rahm and his stormtroopers having a street battle with the Bolsheviks.

Right. You know, close the curtain. So, mom, it’s going to be the same thing when you buy, when you buy the river, when you buy the penthouse apartment in Manhattan with the view of Central Park. When you open the window, you’re going to see people eating the squirrels in Central park. And you’re going to see like Mamdani’s Youth Revolutionary Guard parading around with red flags, you know, doing pillaging, whatever, whatever they’re trying to do. And you’re going. The bet is that this is not going to last. I think it’s a good. I don’t, I don’t think we’re going to have nationwide communism.

I think the Americans, especially in America, maybe I can’t speak for every country, especially in America. There’s, there’s a good more than half of the country that is not interested in communism. Even the left leaning guys are not communism and everybody’s armed. So it’s, it’s not going to happen. Yeah. So that’s why I say this is a good test case. Because if we’re going to make people every, every generation needs a reminder that communism doesn’t work, that socialism doesn’t work. Every generation needs that reminder because we can’t pass down this Torah regeneration with everybody sticking to it.

People regress back into stupidity very, very quickly. So I can’t think of a better city to be the poster child for that. Communism doesn’t work for the 21st century than new York City. Bring it on. I mean, you’re making a bet that you’re going to get that like when you buy the house for 100 ounces of silver, it’s because no one wants it. You’re making a bet that the situation is going to pull out of the tailspin. Is it a good bet? I think so. Now when you bought the house in Berlin, in Weimar Berlin in 1923, it was probably bombed to smithereens by 1945.

So maybe depending upon your time scale, maybe that wasn’t a good buy. I don’t know. But I don’t think that’ll happen in New York. Yeah. Okay, so I wanted to share this. A Swedish economist and a socialist, mind you, named Assar Lindbeck. He says so in this paragraph here. This is from adamsmith.org I just googled it and I was looking for this quote because I remembered it was a quote. Miradol stated. Rent control has in certain Western countries constituted maybe the worst example of poor planning by governments lacking courage and vision. His fellow Swedish economist and socialist Asar Lindbeck asserted, in many cases rent control appears to be the most efficient technique presently known to destroy a city.

Except for bombing. There’s, there’s a whole exhibit of these sorts of pictures of. And I couldn’t find them, but I found this example, this is just one example of rent control in the Bronx in the 1970s. New York City, 1977. Right. So here it says, take a look at these two photos. One of these is Warsaw in 1945, the most severely destroyed city in Europe from World War II. The other shows a neighborhood in the South Bronx of New York City in 1977. Which one is which? Read to the end for the answer, I’m going to guess the one on the right is the, is the Bronx.

Strangely enough, no. The one in the left has to be the Bronx because there’s English on it. Oh, you got me. You got me. But still, that’s, that’s amazing. I mean that looks, that looks like a war ravaged city. That’s. Yeah, yeah, it is. It is. It is a war ravaged. That’s, that’s what rent control does. That’s just one thing. So if we see New York City pretty much bombed out because Mamdani, what does he want? Does he wants rent control over every building? What. What’s his public. Public grocery stores. So the government take care of the grocery stores.

Rent control and free buses is what he has promised so far. Rent control all over like. Or is it, or is it limited? I, I think we just said. I think you just said rent control. I don’t know. Okay. I mean we’ll find the, the, the tighter it is, the worse things are going to be. And businesses of course are going to move out fast. If they’re already starting to do that, I would, I would leave immediately. Yeah. And if you are a landlord, there’s no. And you can’t raise your rent. You, you can’t afford repairs and upkeep.

So it’s going to destroy the buildings. What’s free grocery stores? What are those going to do? What do you think? Initially they will probably because, because the city can subsidize it. They’ll probably have price undercuts over the private ones and drive all the private grocery stores out of business. But they’ll be, you know, people will flock to this if, if they actually get this up and running. I’m not guaranteeing they will. People will swarm the subsidized grocery stores and the city will run out of money and then there won’t be any grocery stores at all. I would be scared to shop at a free groceries.

Wait, what is it free grocery store? Like is it free? No. What is it? It’ll be probably. It’ll be lower prices if they actually. Because they’ll be. It’ll be subsidized through the, through the city taxpayer. You know, the, the plan is to tax the millionaires and the billionaires and then force them to pay for the cheaper food for everybody else or you know, borrow a bunch of money. Okay. So then there will be, there will be shortages at those stores because the, the price is below the market clearing price. People won’t be able to get what they want.

What they want. When they shop there. And if you want to get food that of better quality, you’ll have to go to the private one. So maybe they won’t. Maybe they won’t succeed. Maybe, you know, maybe it’ll just be a big. Subsidized. Yeah, if they’re subsidized it enough, then they can do it, but the cost will be whoever’s doing the subsidizing. So it could work. I mean, it could work and drive out the private grocery stores. If the subsidies are high enough that they can buy the food and then offer it, they’ll have to offer it below what they’re paying for it, I would think below profitability.

So, I mean, you’re just. Like I said, this is. This is madness. Madness. This is Sparta. It will be Spartan. That is. That is true. Yes. Yes. Okay, hold on. If we just take this basic logic and, and build it out. You have public schools, and you have private schools. Public schools, they get worse and worse every generation. And they create people who are either stupid, they have no executive function, even if they have the ability to become intelligent, they become NPCs. Very, very few of them are independent thinkers. And they don’t know anything for. And public schools still.

Private schools still exist, but they cost a lot more. But if you want your kid to be educated, you’ll send your kid to a private school. You know, maybe there’s, you know, a few good public schools out there, but I wouldn’t count on it. So the same pattern would happen with public grocery stores. If you want good food, you’ll have to go to the private grocery store. Or, or you can get slop at the public grocery store and you won’t be able to find what you need anyway. And people should be pretty angry. And then they’ll say, oh, they’re not funded enough and they’ll have to send more money to the public grocery stores, and it’ll just be money being flushed down the toilet.

Yeah, Yeah. I don’t disagree with you there. Okay, so let. Let mom. Let Mamdani be the sacrificial lamb for communism that everyone can remember in this generation. Communism doesn’t work. Look at New York City in 2025. Look what happened. You think about the choice of, like, Andrew Cuomo. Yeah. If I lived. If I lived in New York City, I think I would probably have voted Mamdani for that reason. Yeah. Not. Not because I. Obviously not because I think any of his policies are good, but I would have voted for him. Because if you’re Going to take a direction that is going to decide things, that’s going to be very clear, and it’s going to make people realize consequences of actions.

Mamdani is going to do that a lot better than Andrew Cuomo when Andrew Cuom was a mass murderer. So you would have voted for mom, Donnie, and then moved out immediately? Probably, yeah. Yeah, I would have moved. Of course I would have moved out. I would be scared for myself. But before you, before you move out, I want to make sure that I let Andrew Cuomo know. Yeah. No, but Andrew Cuomo is so much more unlikable. He’s. He is very. So disgusting. Aaron’s so oily. I wonder. Sorry. I think Trump. I heard Trump’s endorsement and I thought it was very wise what he did because he’s like, well, you know, Cuomo momdani.

I’d rather a Democrat than a communist, but what’s the difference, really? He was very. He was very nonchalant about it. Yeah. Lukewarm about it. And, and I get it, because now. And now it’s. It’s great for Trump because now we can point to it and say, look. Look what the left is doing. That’s. That’s his best card that he always plays. So do you think, do you think we’ll have better politicians on a gold standard, or is it just politics is innately so corrupting that you only get. You just get Andrew Cuomo’s. No matter. No matter what, will you get better politicians on a gold standard? Well, think of it this way.

If you have a finite amount of money and no ability to inflate, then it’s less important. You can’t. It’s. It’s less important. But also you get people who actually have a mind for what a budget is. Right. And they have more of a grasp on reality. You know, politicians now, you get voted in for promising more because you can. Because you can always promise more and print more money. But if you. You can’t, then that’s like a, a brain drug that will be weaned off of people when they realize that there are only a certain amount of resource.

I think if you look at Argentina and Melee, his, his mantra that helped get him elected was, we’re out of money. Yeah, there. No, there’s no. What was it in Spanish? I don’t remember. But he’s like, yeah, he’s like, basically, we don’t have any money. I have nothing to give you. All I have is the truth, and we’re broke and that’s it. And he Won. And I think they were saying that he got hurt in some kind of local election recently, but he stormed back and now he got, he’s, he’s got the momentum again. So once you, once society is hit with reality, a lot of the crazy thinking kind of washes away, which I think is partly what’s going to happen in New York City.

How long has he been mayor for? Four years or six years or. What? What is it? I think it’s five years, but I’m not sure. Yeah. Wow. Enough to look it up. Well, he’s going to be the end game mayor for New York City. That’s for sure. That, that’s the thing. I didn’t even, I wasn’t even considering, even though I knew it was coming. But he’s going to be the end game mayor. He’s gonna, the dollar’s gonna run out when he’s in the middle of his communist policies. It’s gonna be fun for him, you know. Okay.

Yep. Yeah. He’s also a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. Let’s not forget that. Yeah. A lot of Jews voted for him, though. I know, I know. Jews are a problem. No, left. Left wing Jews are a serious problem. That’s. If, if you don’t like Jews, I understand why you should. You should really like libertarian Jews. There aren’t many of those, but those are the important people that can really get things moving. And Peter Schiff and those kinds of people. Right. Those are, those are the people that can really, first of all, lower anti Semitism. You know, you were telling me about Nick Fuentes, who.

He scares me, but I understand why he exists. And he was a big Ron Paul fan in 2012, and so was I. I mean, I could have, I could have been working with him indirectly. I did some help for the Ron Paul 2012 campaign. Peter Schiff was in the Ron Paul 2012 campaign. A lot of Jews, A lot of libertarian Jews were. And because America did not take the path of Ron Paul, I think that was like the last stop to be able to deflate without catastrophic consequences. It would have been very, very difficult and would have been.

It would have been bad. Bad meaning good, but very. It’s very difficult. Yeah. Would have been a deep crash, but now it’s going to be. It would have been catastrophic. Now, now it’s. Now it’d be catastrophic. So we could have saved Nick Fuentes, a serious anti Semite, but that’s not, that wasn’t to be. And so now the left wing Jews will get blamed for it and for Good reason. And I’m going to take the consequences. It’s, there’s nothing I can do about it now. Well, on that front, you want to move on to public choice theory? Yes, let’s do it.

All right, so my, my alma mater, George Mason is a very libertarian, at least it was. I checked in maybe before COVID or during COVID and like the new university president was super woke. So I don’t know if the economics department survived that. I have no idea. I’m not up to date very much. But when I was there they were very libertarian and they taught the Austrian school in the economics department. And one of their focuses was public choice theory. And the way, the way public choice theory works is the common understanding, the common misunderstanding that most people have of government workers and politicians, but especially government bureaucrats, is that they are cold, boring, purely driven by being fair judges of what is right and wrong and applying that as safeguards of the state in the marketplace.

Right. So the people working at the Federal Reserve, all they care about is making sure that, you know, America’s fair and industrious and prosperous society. And maybe they’re not perfect, but they’re doing the best they can. And the people at the EPA are trying to fairly and correctly balance the needs of protecting the wildlife with, you know, with the needs to build on some land and you know, have, have industrial output and commercial output. Right. So, and that they’re just, they’re just, you know, they’re fair, they’re impartisan, nonpartisan bureaucrats who are, you know, just trying to make the world a better place through their nonpartisanness.

Right. Public Choice theory goes into great detail about how this is not an accurate description at all. The human, humans are, you know, rationally self interested creatures. That’s, that’s what we are. We’re, we are trying to make our personal lives as good as possible. And we look through everything we do, we look through that lens, we’re trying to make our personal lives better. And the marketplace allows us to do it by trading with each other to make everyone’s lives better through the trade. When you go into the government, you start engaging what’s called rent seeking. So you are simply trying to, there’s a pile of money on the table and you’re simply going to try and accumulate as much money, much of that money and power.

There’s money and power on the table. You’re going to try and accumulate as much as possible for your pet project, as it were. So for example, if you are in the epa, and you have been tasked. You know, you’re putting the, you’re putting the task to protect the yellow belly, the yellow bellied sapsucker, a little bird. I, I don’t think it’s endangered, but we’ll say it is for the sake of this. And the yellow bellied sapsucker lays its nests in wetlands. That’s just where it does, you know, it finds some rut area near some water and it lays its eggs there.

And now some farmers in the Pacific Northwest, they’re cattle ranchers and they, they dig holes in the ground so that their cow, when it rains, those holes will fill with water. And the cows, they have drink. It’s drinking holes. It’s just drinking holes, right? They, on their own private land, their own private land that they bought, that they own, they dig holes in the ground and it rains and the cows come and drink out of those holes. Some yellow bellied sapsuckers start laying their nests next to these watering holes. And then the EPA agent drives up and he just, he says, these are wetlands.

These are protected wetlands. This is now federal land. I’m seizing it. And you know, I’m confiscating this land. And you get no, no compensation. What, you know, whatever. You know, I’m, I’m, I’m exerting executive power through the president himself. You know, he has given, he has vested me with the protection, the power to protect the yellow bellied sapsucker against all other considerations, right? It doesn’t matter. I didn’t weigh anything. I just, I have the simple task in front of me have saved the yellow bellied sapsucker. So I’m gonna do, I’m gonna. My goal is to maximize yellow bellied sapsuckers in the world.

And I will do whatever it takes to maximize them. Not to mention I now have power, right? And I now have a budget. So I’ve been given a budget. I’ve found a bunch more yellow belly sapsuckers. I need a much bigger budget. I need a bigger desk, I need a bigger office. I need a company car to drive out to check on the yellow bellied sapsuckers. Oh, and I need retirement and I need medical care. So you end up with this giant bureaucracy harassing farmers. And you know what? You built some new holes. Those might have yellow bellied sapsuckers.

So I better confiscate those too, because a yellow bellied sapsucker might show up there, right? So this entire government bureaucracy is there to harass farmers on their own land who are minding their own business. That’s perfect. This is exactly what, just what just happened with that ostrich farm, right? There was an ostrich farm in British Columbia. It was such a disgusting, sad story. It’s. They just kill these healthy ostriches because in order to stop plague that doesn’t exist, they have to cull all the ostriches because they were once maybe infected with bird flu, which they have recovered from.

And again, when you recover from a virus, you have immunity to it and that stops the virus from spreading. But nobody, but like this is it’s basic logic. It’s logic that we all understood until 2020, until nobody understood it anymore. And now we understand it again until there’s another case where it just doesn’t apply anymore because you have bureaucrats with one objective to kill ostriches to save us for all from bird flu when that doesn’t even make any sense and they just want to exercise the small amount of power that they have. There’s nothing scarier than a low level bureaucrat that has one power and he has to keep pushing that button because otherwise his life is, you know, not.

Yeah. Pointless. Additionally. Yeah, additionally there’s what’s known as regulatory capture. So this is another wrinkle into this. So if you’re in the, if, for example, if you’re, if you’re, if you’re a government bureaucrat and your job is to, is to moderate oil production in the United States, you know, to, to make sure that it doesn’t, you know, affect the yellow bellied sapsucker, for example, who most people don’t know very much about oil drilling, who knows a lot about oil drilling. Oil company at workers, right? So the oil company will send a work or the, the oil company worker will go get a job with the bureaucracy whose job it is to, you know, regulate the oil industry.

And he will do whatever the oil industry wants. He will sign off anything they want because he knows and it’s on. I think it’s on. It might be, there might be an email or a letter somewhere or it might be just be a handshake deal in a bar. We don’t know. But he knows when he leaves his government job, a very, very cushy oil company, you know, he’ll be on the board, he’ll be paying $60,000 a month, whatever, right? Because he got them, he got them the permits they needed. So the industry will buy their way into whatever regulations they need.

And the effect of this is that it makes big companies, it protects Big companies against small rivals because the smaller companies don’t have the capital to bribe politicians the way the larger companies do, so they can’t get into it. So regulatory capture ends up stifling competition. You end up with these giant monopolies that control absolutely everything. Yeah, it gets, it gets worse. It gets worse. I mean the word, the worst instance of regulatory capture we’ve ever seen was. I don’t think, I don’t think this is even arguable. I think it’s 100. It was covet. That’s. Yeah, that’s what it was.

It was this huge instance of regulatory capture that began decades ago with pharma. Right. They put people in the fda, they groom people in the fda. Some of it is even subconscious. A lot of them don’t even realize that they’re being groomed. But they come, they come up with the conclusions that pharma wants them to come up with and they’re the ones who create the legislation. Like the 1986, I forgot what the act was called, was passed in 1986 that made vaccine harms unable to be sued in regular court. And the, the, anything that’s on the childhood schedule now, you cannot sue the companies for any damages at all.

You know, they’re even these vaccine courts, they’re even higher than the Supreme Court because the Supreme Court can’t even address them. Right. That’s, that’s how sick it is. And so that, that’s how, that’s how they’re rushing to put everything on the childhood schedule that they can. Because once they put it there, it doesn’t even matter how safe it is or whatever, you can’t get sued. So, and they did this with like the, the godfather of vaccinology, what’s his name? Plotkin. Right. He’s been paid so many times, so many multi. Millions of dollars by pharma companies to promote vaccines sold by Merck and all these other drug peddlers.

But that’s, that’s how it works. And it ends with billions of people being injected by force with a product that is probably going to hurt them significantly, permanently. That’s how bad it is. And the problem, I mean the problem with all of this is that there’s no market forces inside the agencies themselves. I mean, how can you, there’s no market force to say what is the correct number of yellow bellied sapsuckers that should be existing with regards to, you know, as opposed to cattle farms. Right. There’s no, there’s no market force at all. You’re just given a simple instruction set saying go save the yellow bellied sapsucker and no other considerations are necessary.

Right. So you know, when you take away the market forces and you allow for regulatory capture, you end up with the worst outcomes you can, you can imagine, which is what we’re having right now. Now the good news, I think you will agree with me. I think the governments are all going to collapse by 95 to 99% in this crash. They’re gonna. When we, when we end up back in a gold standard, all this stuff is, all this regulatory stuff’s just gonna go away. You know, they won’t have that. They won’t have the budget to keep it going anymore.

So then we will let the market forces decide what the correct number of yellow bellied sapsuckers will be. Yeah, but there’s gonna be an intermittent time of chaos in between there, which I’m starting to get. You know, I’m usually positive about this, but the developments in, in America, I’ll probably become positive again after this initial shock of, of Momdani, even though I would have voted for him, has, has passed. I mean I can say at least we don’t have Andrew Cuomo. At least his career is over. And that’s, that’s encouraging. I mean, yeah, that was the choice.

I mean the choice was Mamdani. Andrew Cuomo or like Curtis Sliwa was kind of a, kind of a weirdo. Yeah, I don’t know, I don’t know much about him. I mean what I saw about him I didn’t, I didn’t dislike but he was always, he’s always wearing like a military beret. It’s kind of, we wait. You wanted to talk about Virginia and the resurgence of the Democrats. Oh sure. Well, just real quick. I mean it’s back to the first topic we had. So just real quick. The, the Republicans thought that they were going to get, they were going to get the AG at least over the top.

And they thought that the governor was gonna, the governor created it, you know, projected to lose maybe 6%. And the LG similar the government, the governor candidate lost by like 15%. I mean, got blown out of the water. It was clearly the, the candidates who supported the reform, the Trump reform agenda in 24 did not show up at all in 2025. I think the, you know, it was, I, you know, other people have said, I think it was absolutely a referendum on the national policies because what, what were they promised? They were promised doge. They were promised release of the Epstein files.

You know, they promised all these things that are. What are we getting now? We’re getting. And no more foreign wars. And so far, we’ve gotten more for. You know, we’re bombing Venezuela. We’re talking about invading Nigeria. You know. You know. You know who’s in Nigeria right now? Victoria Newland. Oh, God. Yeah. She was in Nigeria right when Trump was tweeting, we’re going to bomb Nigeria or we’re going to, like, go invade Nigeria to save the Christians from the Muslims there. And I was like, wow, that. She is a. She is a spider. Oh, you think. You think Victoria Newland was involved in getting.

Absolutely. I mean, I don’t. I don’t. I don’t think consciously. Because I don’t think. I don’t think he likes her. Like, I don’t. I don’t. I don’t know. Maybe she’s back in the game. I don’t know. But I think she at least has some sort of soft pull where she can talk to people who are still in the departments. So let’s hope on the gold standard we avoid this in the future. Yeah, the rebuild’s going to be. Going to be interesting. I just. Yeah. You can see my brain isn’t working very well today. But that’s all right.

We can call it here. I think we discussed. Well, we did a good job. All right, Phil. Next month, hopefully the end game will be here already, because I think we’re running out of time. I think it’s here. Yeah, I think we’re real close. Yeah. I wake up. Do you wake up every day wondering, is today the day? Because I do. I wake up every single day being like, well, is today gonna be the day? Crunches. No. I wake up every month saying, is this gonna be the month, though? Okay, so we’ll find out soon enough.

Maybe someday we’ll be Right. Yeah, someday soon. You’re. Take care, man. Bye.
