- 0:00So, remember woke 1.0? So, woke 1.0 was
- 0:02the idea that America was a white
- 0:04supremacist country that was filled with
- 0:07racism and evil, and therefore
- 0:09everything was fruit of the poisonous
- 0:10tree.
- 0:12Therefore, any inequality of outcome was
- 0:15an inequity.
- 0:16It was a it was a it was the American
- 0:17system that had gone wrong. Yeah, well,
- 0:19apparently woke 1.0 was crazy. We were
- 0:21told that by AOC, remember? It's sort of
- 0:22like so crazy. It's crazy. Oh.
- 0:25Okay, well, now we are full on to woke
- 0:282.0. So, what's woke 2.0? It's just
- 0:29communism. And woke 2.0 is
- 0:32everything in America that is unequal is
- 0:34bad,
- 0:35not on a racial basis, on an economic
- 0:36basis. Therefore, we must have
- 0:38socialism.
- 0:40And the easiest way to achieve equality
- 0:42of outcome is for everyone to be poor.
- 0:44So, I guess that's what we're going to
- 0:45do in the big cities. Nithya Raman has
- 0:47now defeated Karen Bass over in Los
- 0:49Angeles. Nithya Raman is a
- 0:51self-described socialist
- 0:53over in LA.
- 0:55She narrowly beat Karen Bass by about
- 0:5650,000 votes in Los Angeles.
- 1:00Here's a flashback of Hasan
- 1:02talking with Nithya Raman, the new mayor
- 1:04of LA.
- 1:07>> Do you support Medicare for all?
- 1:09>> Yes.
- 1:09>> Universal child care?
- 1:10>> Yes.
- 1:11>> Abolishing ICE?
- 1:12>> Yes.
- 1:12>> Raise taxes on billionaires?
- 1:14>> Yes.
- 1:14>> Ending camp and sweeps in LA?
- 1:16>> Well, um I think we
- 1:19depends on your definition of of of
- 1:21sweeps. Yeah, I think we'd have to be
- 1:24able to do cleanups. We do them
- 1:26humanely. We work we do it with outreach
- 1:28workers.
- 1:30It's very similar to what Mondani uh
- 1:32had touted in in his change. Um
- 1:36>> Okay.
- 1:36>> think we should be violent. I don't
- 1:38think we should be arresting people, but
- 1:41cleaning up um
- 1:42cleaning up and and making sure that we
- 1:44offer hygiene is really important.
- 1:46>> Okay.
- 1:47>> I'll stand by that.
- 1:49>> $30 citywide minimum wage?
- 1:51>> Oh, interesting. Uh I supported the
- 1:53tourism worker wage. Yeah.
- 1:55>> Okay. End LAPD's paid trips to Israel?
- 1:59>> Uh
- 2:00if not on our dime.
- 2:02>> Okay, uh, a free Palestine.
- 2:04>> Free Palestine, yes.
- 2:07>> And that is your new mayor of LA. How
- 2:09does that matter? Well, it means if
- 2:10you're starting a business, you're not
- 2:11doing it in LA. If you have a choice
- 2:13where to locate your business, you are
- 2:14not doing it in LA. If you are a young
- 2:16family looking to buy a home and you're
- 2:17not locked down to an LA job, you ain't
- 2:19moving to LA.
- 2:20This is a chart of LA housing prices
- 2:22from 2016 to 2026.
- 2:25Up and up and up and up. Remember, the
- 2:28part that's kind of funny about all of
- 2:29this is, oh my gosh, Nithya Raman, she's
- 2:31a socialist, that's terrible. Karen
- 2:33Bass, who was also a basic socialist,
- 2:35was the mayor before her.
- 2:37And Eric Garcetti, who was a big lib,
- 2:39was the mayor before them.
- 2:42And so, it's just getting worse.
- 2:44Again, what happens in all of these
- 2:45areas is you make it more expensive to
- 2:47build. Because what you want to do is
- 2:49regulate developers, right? Those rich
- 2:50evil developers. You got to go after
- 2:51them.
- 2:52Make it more expensive, more regulatory,
- 2:54more confiscatory. Make sure that anyone
- 2:56who's buying, say luxury real estate in
- 2:59LA, those people need to be crammed
- 3:01down, higher property taxes. Go after
- 3:03them, nail them, really get them.
- 3:04And then it turns out that you remove
- 3:05the profit incentive to build new
- 3:07things, so nothing new gets built. And
- 3:08then you have a shortage of housing. So
- 3:10then you tax everybody more to build the
- 3:12{quote} {unquote} affordable housing.
- 3:14But it turns out that the affordable
- 3:15housing is really expensive because when
- 3:17you build it, you have a bunch of
- 3:18union-based government contractors who
- 3:20are screwing the state.
- 3:22That's how all of this works and that is
- 3:23why, again, that price line keeps going
- 3:26up and up and up and up. But don't
- 3:28worry, it's not just Nithya Raman in Los
- 3:29Angeles. And I'm getting panic calls
- 3:31from my friends in LA.
- 3:32Legitimate panic calls, right? I'm from
- 3:34LA, I have tons of friends who still
- 3:35live in LA.
- 3:36And those friends are calling me like,
- 3:37dude, I don't know what the hell to do.
- 3:39This is crazy.
- 3:41It's just going to get worse here.
- 3:42There are gigantic, I'm talking like
- 3:44gigantic swaths of land in LA that are
- 3:46going without sale because no one wants
- 3:48to buy them and then be forced to rent
- 3:50them at below market value.
- 3:53Nobody wants to buy up, for example, a
- 3:55giant studio space and then locate a
- 3:58Hollywood production there because you
- 3:59can't afford to do it there.
- 4:02This is what socialism accomplishes.
- 4:03Again, when people think socialism, they
- 4:05tend to think of, you know, the
- 4:07government seizes your business and
- 4:08turns it into like a communist grocery
- 4:10store or something. That is not the sole
- 4:12extent of socialism.
- 4:14In order to understand what we're
- 4:15talking about here, you have to
- 4:17understand that there's sort of a
- 4:18spectrum from socialism all the way over
- 4:19to free markets. Why? Well, because when
- 4:22you own a property, it's not just your
- 4:24ownership of the property that makes it
- 4:25private property. It is your ability to
- 4:27do things with that property.
- 4:30So, let's say for example, you buy a
- 4:31piece of land. And let's say that the
- 4:32government tells you you're not allowed
- 4:34to build a house, you're not allowed to
- 4:36co-op, you're not allowed to build an
- 4:37apartment, you're not allowed to build a
- 4:38store. It has to remain empty land. Not
- 4:41only that, you're not allowed to sell
- 4:43the land.
- 4:44But you must pay tax on the land.
- 4:45Question, do you still own the land?
- 4:48So, technically, technically, you don't
- 4:50you own If you don't have any power to
- 4:52do anything with the land,
- 4:54then you don't have any of the benefits
- 4:55of ownership. So, that is not really
- 4:56private property. This is a point made
- 4:58by Professor Richard Epstein, the author
- 4:59of a book called Takings. That actually
- 5:01property rights
- 5:03include the right to alienate, the right
- 5:05to build, the right to use. If you take
- 5:07away the use of all of those rights,
- 5:09it's the same thing as if the government
- 5:10has taken the property.
- 5:12This is what socialists tend to do in
- 5:13places like LA. Sure, you can buy that
- 5:15house, but you know what you can't do?
- 5:16You can't You definitely cannot build a
- 5:18mother-in-law unit out back. You
- 5:19definitely can't rent it out to make
- 5:21some extra money.
- 5:23You certainly are not allowed to rent it
- 5:24out at a particular rate.
- 5:27And if you sell it, we're going to take
- 5:28all the profit.
- 5:29Okay, well, you just violated property
- 5:31rights 10 ways from Sunday.
- 5:32And then you wonder why no one's
- 5:33building?
- 5:35Also, why no one is selling? Cuz if you
- 5:36sell and they take all the profit, what
- 5:37was the point of selling?
- 5:39So, you lock up the market. That's
- 5:40what's happening in all of these
- 5:41markets. It's why there are 50,000
- 5:43vacant units in New York City.
- 5:45So, you have a socialist mayor of New
- 5:46York, you have a socialist mayor of LA.
- 5:48And now you have a socialist mayor of
- 5:49Washington, D.C., where Janice Lewis
- 5:51George won 84% of the vote. Socialists
- 5:55really love Washington, D.C. Here is a
- 5:57chart of D.C. housing prices.
- 6:01Well, you may notice that um
- 6:03it was up and up and up and up, and then
- 6:05it leveled off in 2022. And the reason
- 6:07it leveled off in 2022
- 6:09is because a lot of people moved to
- 6:11Northern Virginia, right? After the
- 6:13pandemic, people started to be like,
- 6:14"Ah, I don't know, man. I'm kind of
- 6:16out."
- 6:18Here is Janice Lewis George on what
- 6:19socialism means.
- 6:21>> You know, because I think this moment
- 6:23calls for that level of moral clarity
- 6:25and courage. It calls for this level of
- 6:27ingenuity and it calls for a leader who
- 6:30is uh focused on putting people first
- 6:32and delivering on the small things,
- 6:34right? Uh so our socialism is talking
- 6:36about just making sure your 911 system
- 6:38works, your 311 works, um your trash
- 6:42gets picked up, your snow gets plowed.
- 6:44Those basic things that make a
- 6:45difference in everyone's lives and
- 6:47delivering for residents in all eight
- 6:48wards in the city. But it also focuses
- 6:50on delivering those big things, right?
- 6:52Like universal access to child care, uh
- 6:55lowering utility costs for DC residents
- 6:57and fighting against these data centers
- 6:59that are pulling on our grid and
- 7:00expanding community solar. So for me,
- 7:03it's really a moment where ingenuity is
- 7:05necessary and moral courage is
- 7:06necessary.
- 7:09And this is where we're going, folks.
- 7:11This is where we're going. Would you
- 7:12start a business in Washington, D.C.
- 7:14with that as the mayor? Or build new
- 7:15property?
- 7:16With that as the mayor?
- 7:18How about New York? Are you going to Are
- 7:20you going to buy a property in New York
- 7:21with that as the mayor, Zohran Mamdani?
- 7:22Is that where we're going here?
- 7:24With these ideas?
- 7:27Okay, this is a This is a chart of
- 7:29property prices in New York City.
- 7:31Notice, up and up and up and up and up
- 7:34and up
- 7:35And again, 50,000 vacant units in New
- 7:37York City and nobody will rent because
- 7:39it is more expensive to rent them than
- 7:41it is to just leave them empty.
- 7:43Meanwhile, there's great irony to Zohran
- 7:44Mamdani worrying the AI bubble is going
- 7:46to pop like the housing bubble. Yeah,
- 7:47cuz you're going to destroy the markets
- 7:49on both.
- 7:53>> There's an investment in the idea that
- 7:55this is so complicated that the only
- 7:57rational response should be that we
- 7:59trust those who created it. And in many
- 8:01ways, it's what Facebook was already
- 8:02arguing in 2008 that they should be able
- 8:04to regulate themselves. And yet what we
- 8:07need to see is a response that grasps
- 8:11the scale of the adoption of this
- 8:14technology and the incentives that are
- 8:16driving a lot of this technology at this
- 8:18time and the fact that we are now at a
- 8:20point where there are far too many
- 8:24similarities between the housing bubble
- 8:27and the state of AI in our economy
- 8:29today.
- 8:30>> You worry that we're in a bubble?
- 8:32>> Yes.
- 8:33>> You worry that bubble's going to pop?
- 8:34>> Yes.
- 8:35>> Do you trust the Sam Altmans of the
- 8:36world?
- 8:37>> No.
- 8:38>> Yes. Yes. No. If it's going to pop, you
- 8:42are going to pop it.
- 8:44I'm not talking about a bubble here. I'm
- 8:44talking about just the markets. Get to
- 8:46more on this in just 1 second. First, my
- 8:48wife and I have been figuring out gifts
- 8:49for the people closest us. I'll tell you
- 8:51what is an amazing, amazing gift. It's
- 8:52the thing I carry with me on the road,
- 8:54Boll and Branch. They offer

- 9:03from Boll and Branch and it is awesome.
- 9:05It is great.
- 9:06Really. Like all their products are just
- 9:08great. All my kids are swaddled in Boll
- 9:09and Branch like all the time. I I myself
- 9:12They They advertise with the show. I
- 9:14myself have gone to Boll and Branch
- 9:15stores because I didn't want to wait for
- 9:17the product to arrive and I've actually

- 9:45them out right now,
- 9:45bollandbranch.com/shapiro.
- 9:48Code Shapiro. And this is always the
- 9:49game. The game is what if I destroy the
- 9:51basis for markets and then the market
- 9:52goes down and I blame capitalism. We saw
- 9:54this
- 9:54in 2008. 2007, 2008, you had massive
- 9:57government subsidization programs that
- 9:59were designed to put people who could
- 10:00not afford homes into homes.
- 10:03And then, markets do what they do, which
- 10:05is they took all of that
- 10:07and they They it cheaper and easier. And
- 10:10the way that they did that is things
- 10:11like credit default swaps, right? The
- 10:12market went to work on a bad program.
- 10:15Because again, markets
- 10:17are capable of making anything more
- 10:18efficient, better, and cheaper, even
- 10:20things you don't like. Like for example,
- 10:22bad mortgages.
- 10:24It's true for drugs, and it's true for
- 10:25pornography, and it's also true for bad
- 10:26mortgages.
- 10:27And then it turns out that the bottom
- 10:29fell out because of the government
- 10:30program, and then it was capitalism that
- 10:32was to blame.
- 10:34This is where we are going. This is what
- 10:35Americans are choosing. So, I mean,
- 10:36you've been warned.
- 10:38Is that's woke 2.0? It's basically just
- 10:40Marxism, but don't worry, woke 2.0
- 10:43doesn't mean that woke 1.0 is gone.
- 10:44We're going back to that, too, guys.
- 10:45It'll be great. And remember, woke 1.0
- 10:48is all about niceness and compassion and
- 10:50decency and laughing at people who have
- 10:52been murdered. There are Jennifer Welch
- 10:53and Angie Sullivan laughing at the death
- 10:55of Charlie Kirk, once again.
- 10:58>> Uh Dead Morrow says, "We're digging up
- 11:01Charlie Kirk and doing it again."
- 11:11I'm zooming in for Fox.
- 11:13>> [laughter]
- 11:20[laughter]
- 11:23>> No comment.
- 11:25>> [snorts]
- 11:25>> No comment.
- 11:25>> No comment on that.
- 11:29>> Kinder, gentler, wonderful people, you
- 11:31know? They They They're just against the
- 11:32cruelty of the Trump administration,
- 11:33those people who are laughing at the at
- 11:35Charlie's murder again for the 1
- 11:37millionth time.
- 11:38Don't worry, woke 1.0 is still there.
- 11:41The Congressional Equality Caucus put
- 11:43out a graphic yesterday.
- 11:45The 120th Congress will be the gayest
- 11:47Congress in American history. Well,
- 11:49congrats. Congrats, boys and girls.
- 11:52A lot of dudes who love dudes and ladies
- 11:53love ladies
- 11:54inside our Congress. All our problems
- 11:56are at an end.
- 11:58We finally figured it out. We solved it
- 11:59with the pride progress flag. That's
- 12:01awesome. Here is Gene Wu. He's the
- 12:03leader of the Texas House of
- 12:04Representatives laying out the coalition
- 12:05of the oppressed.
- 12:09>> That the oppressors all are the same.
- 12:12Right? The oppression comes from one
- 12:14place and I always tell people the day
- 12:17the Latino, African-American, Asian, and
- 12:20other communities realize that they are
- 12:24that they share the same oppressor is
- 12:26the day we start winning. Because we are
- 12:29the majority in this country now. We are
- 12:31We We have the ability to take over this
- 12:33country and to do what is needed for
- 12:35everyone and to make things fair.
- 12:39>> See, the coalition is going to press and
- 12:40going to make things fair. They're going
- 12:41to take it all over and make things
- 12:43fair. Now, that comes along with a with
- 12:44a little bit of weirdness, of course. I
- 12:46mean, like for example, according to the
- 12:48New York Post, West Hollywood, which is
- 12:50the gayest area of probably the world,
- 12:52it's like West Hollywood or Fire Island,
- 12:55West Hollywood will now allow thruples,
- 12:56foursomes, and other multi-partner
- 12:58relationships to register as domestic
- 12:59partners and receive new legal
- 13:01protections for polyamory.
- 13:04The measure allows people in
- 13:04relationships involving multiple
- 13:06partners to officially register with the
- 13:08city granting them certain rights,
- 13:09including hospital visitation and
- 13:10additional tenant protections.
- 13:13That's so nice. I mean, right?
- 13:16Additional tenant protections. I can't
- 13:18imagine anyone abusing this. Can't
- 13:19imagine these five gay dudes
- 13:22basically being like, "Hey, we're all
- 13:23married now.
- 13:25And uh if you upcharge us on the rent,
- 13:27then that's because you're you're some
- 13:28sort of bigot in West Hollywood."
- 13:32Yes, it turns out that um all of the
- 13:34oppressive structures will be struck
- 13:36down, including apparently
- 13:38penalties for murder.
- 13:40So, Gavin Newsom, governor of
- 13:41California, who's attempting to steal
- 13:42some of the glory of the far left, he
- 13:46announced on Thursday he's commuting
- 13:47every death sentence in his state to a
- 13:49sentence of life in prison without
- 13:51parole.
- 13:53So, quote, "My decision today comes
- 13:54after nearly three decades of openly
- 13:56opposing state-sanctioned executions as
- 13:58an elected official."
- 13:59So many nice people who are going to
- 14:01escape the death penalty in California.
- 14:03That would include say Todd Givens and
- 14:05Billy Joe Johnson,
- 14:06both members of white supremacist gangs
- 14:08who have been sentenced to death.
- 14:10Or say Skylar DeLeon, sentenced to death
- 14:12in 2009 for murdering three people by
- 14:14tying them to an anchor on a yacht and
- 14:16throwing them alive into the Pacific
- 14:18Ocean.
- 14:18The good news is
- 14:20that at least we won't be deprived of
- 14:21having to pay for his transgender care
- 14:23because it turns out that DeLeon
- 14:24transitioned to female from male while
- 14:26serving his sentence.
- 14:29Others who will escape the death penalty
- 14:30in California include Glenn Helzer who
- 14:33led a cult called the Children of
- 14:35Thunder and murdered five people in an
- 14:37extortion scheme.
- 14:39Eric Houston murdered four and held 100
- 14:40students hostage for 8 hours in the 1992
- 14:42Lindhurst High School shooting in
- 14:44California.
- 14:47Or say Cary Stayner who killed four
- 14:48women in Yosemite National Park
- 14:50including one woman by cutting off her
- 14:51head in 1999.
- 14:53Or Marcus Wesson who sexually abused and
- 14:55impregnated his nieces and then held his
- 14:57nieces hostage in a police standoff that
- 14:59ended with nine of his own children
- 15:00dead, seven of whom were 8 years old or
- 15:02younger. Well, at least they'll get to
- 15:03live on the taxpayer's dime. That's the
- 15:04important thing.
- 15:06Don't worry, the radicalism of the
- 15:07Democratic Party in those no bounds.
- 15:09Again, aren't you glad you elevated this
- 15:10party?
- 15:11It's going to be great, guys. Oh, yeah.
- 15:13And radical Islam is continuing to make
- 15:16inroads. Democrats, by the way, are
- 15:17already talking about about Abdul Rahman
- 15:19al-Sayyad of Michigan
- 15:21running for president. Remember, he was
- 15:24born in America, so he's an American
- 15:25citizen by birth,
- 15:26even though he hates the country.
- 15:28They're already talking about him
- 15:30running for president.
- 15:32Here he was on MSNBC saying, "Hey, hey,
- 15:34hey, hey, hey.
- 15:35We just have to understand that when
- 15:38we are talking about Jews,
- 15:41it has nothing to do with Israel. So,
- 15:42when we say that Israel should be
- 15:43destroyed, that has nothing to do with
- 15:45Jews at all. At all. In fact, the best
- 15:47Jews hate Israel."
- 15:51>> We have to separate between Judaism and
- 15:53the Jewish people
- 15:54and Israel and its actions. We have to.
- 15:57And I've tried to do that consistently
- 15:58across my campaign, but people keep
- 16:00saying, "Well, because of your positions
- 16:02on Israel, you must also feel a certain
- 16:03way about Jewish people." I say, "Well,
- 16:05no, actually.
- 16:06We have to differentiate between our
- 16:08foreign policy." And by the way, I apply
- 16:10the same approach to the government of
- 16:11Egypt where my family came from. And I
- 16:13would hate that somebody would assume
- 16:15that I I okay with the human rights
- 16:16abuses of the government of Egypt simply
- 16:18because I say I share the ethnicity of
- 16:20the majority of people
- 16:21who are in Egypt. So, we just have to be
- 16:24governing on principle and we have
- 16:25broken our own principles when it comes
- 16:27to Israel time and again.
- 16:30>> Oh, but I've noticed that he's never
- 16:31called for the abolition of the state of
- 16:33Egypt. I've noticed that he's never done
- 16:34that. That's weird.
- 16:35How strange.
- 16:37Sarah Haines on The View pushed Abdul
- 16:39Rahman El-Sayed on the fact that he said
- 16:41about an actual honest-to-god terrorist
- 16:43who tried to murder Jewish school
- 16:44children, quote, "Hurt people hurt
- 16:45people." Here's how it went.
- 16:48>> Because your response that hurt people
- 16:50hurt people after the Temple Israel
- 16:52attack in Michigan in March really stuck
- 16:54with a lot of people and you did
- 16:55apologize for that. But it took you a
- 16:58while to back took you about 5 months to
- 17:02it seemingly understand why that landed
- 17:04wrong with people and voters and
- 17:05constituents.
- 17:07You know, do you think that leaders have
- 17:09a responsibility
- 17:11to challenge the extremist views in
- 17:13their own religion, especially
- 17:14considering you're the first Muslim
- 17:16senator of the United States?
- 17:19>> I do want to offer though when we step
- 17:20back, it is important for us to be
- 17:22thinking about how do we start
- 17:24addressing all of the downward spiral of
- 17:26our politics right now?
- 17:28>> Yeah.
- 17:28>> And I think too often there is this
- 17:29approach where we say good and evil. And
- 17:32that good and evil approach hasn't
- 17:34really helped us root out a lot of the
- 17:36pain that causes a lot of the damage
- 17:38that we see in our society. And so, I
- 17:40was trying to argue about or or offer
- 17:43context around the fact that that
- 17:44individual had lost a uh child niece and
- 17:48nephew in an airstrike.
- 17:51>> Um
- 17:52so what?
- 17:56I'm sorry, so what? He was a terrorist
- 17:58who tried to murder a bunch of Jewish
- 17:59school children.
- 18:02What in the world does that have to do
- 18:03with Israeli policy in Lebanon? He also
- 18:06neglects to mention that that person was
- 18:07an adjunct member of Hezbollah
- 18:09and the airstrike was on Hezbollah
- 18:11members.
- 18:14He apologized? He didn't apologize. He
- 18:15believes all the same extremist things
- 18:17he ever did. So, I'm I'm so glad that he
- 18:18now gets to sit in the Senate where he
- 18:20will have access to classified foreign
- 18:21policy material. How could it go wrong?
- 18:23How could it go wrong? Great job
- 18:24everyone. I'm glad that you punished the
- 18:26Trump administration so that we get
- 18:27Abdurrahman Elsayed sitting in the
- 18:29United States Senate, maybe on the
- 18:30Foreign Relations Committee. It'll just
- 18:32be awesome. By the way, the Council on
- 18:34American Islamic Relations, which
- 18:35started as an offshoot of the Muslim
- 18:36Brotherhood, has now released
- 18:38preliminary tracking results from the
- 18:39November 3rd elections showing at least
- 18:4197 confirmed American Muslim electoral
- 18:43victories at the federal, state, and
- 18:44local levels across 21 states
- 18:47including 38 legislative state wins.
- 18:50Another 15 Muslims are leading in races
- 18:51that have not yet been called.
- 18:54Just great. Thank God our home state of
- 18:57Florida
- 18:58has banned CAIR, and so CAIR has now
- 18:59officially suspended operations in
- 19:01Florida.
- 19:02Thank God for Florida, man.
- 19:05Well, what's the path? Okay, we can fast
- 19:06forward. We know what the path looks
- 19:07like.
- 19:08We know what the path looks like. The
- 19:09path looks like France. And that's where
- 19:11we're headed to. We're headed there
- 19:13on high-speed rail
- 19:15as soon as it gets built by the
- 19:16California government. We are headed
- 19:18there.
- 19:19According to the Interior Ministry of
- 19:21France
- 19:22575,000 people protested across France.
- 19:25Unions claim close to 1.6 million. They
- 19:28are demanding higher wages.
- 19:30They are protesting austerity.
- 19:33Again, France spends more money per
- 19:35capita
- 19:36than pretty much any country
- 19:38on Earth.
- 19:40But, they're protesting austerity
- 19:42because again, it must be capitalism
- 19:44that has failed here.
- 19:46The People's Forum
- 19:47joined French protest for international
- 19:49solidarity among working people. Again,
- 19:51they're protesting against austerity.
- 19:54The People's Forum is funded entirely
- 19:56almost by the
- 19:58man who lives in communist China,
- 19:59Neville Roy Singham.
- 20:01Here they were.
- 20:04>> We're here in the streets today on
- 20:05November 5th in Paris with people as far
- 20:08as the eye can see for the general
- 20:10strike that are standing against the
- 20:12Macron government and the policy of
- 20:14austerity here in France. We're here in
- 20:16international solidarity with the
- 20:18strike, but from here to Italy, to all
- 20:21across Europe, to Palestine, to Cuba,
- 20:24everywhere that we stand, we are in
- 20:26solidarity together as working people.
- 20:28What we see here in France is just an
- 20:30example of what can happen when people
- 20:32come together and they fight and they
- 20:34struggle together.
- 20:36Uh they're not protesting against the
- 20:37Cuban government and they're not
- 20:39protesting against Hamas, by the way.
- 20:40Just noticing.
- 20:41Uh here are some of the French
- 20:42protesters explaining why they're
- 20:44protesting austerity measures.
- 20:47>> The rich stay rich. The poor stay poor.
- 20:49It's all about the the military, the
- 20:51police
- 20:52and and stuff to shoot on us, even
- 20:54against children, against everyone.
- 20:56>> They ask us, the poor, to pay for them.
- 20:59We already are poor. WHY ARE YOU asking
- 21:01us to give you more money? You're the
- 21:03one who's supposed to aid us, not the
- 21:05opposite.
- 21:06>> They don't use the money for the right
- 21:07thing. They use it for the military, the
- 21:09police, repression, not to the to the
- 21:11people.
- 21:11>> I'm here cuz I'm French. I'm a
- 21:12university student. Today's a big day
- 21:14where all the syndicates are here, but
- 21:16we've been protesting like 3 days a week
- 21:19every week, so it's mostly just about
- 21:21austerity. It's against austerity. It's
- 21:23against student conditions. They're
- 21:25funding war. They're funding the police,
- 21:27but not schools.
- 21:30>> Oh, really? Is that what's happening
- 21:31over there? Should point out that France
- 21:33spends roughly 1/3 of its entire GDP
- 21:36just on welfare programs.
- 21:39Don't worry. It's It's about that. It's
- 21:40not about hating cops or hating
- 21:41authority or just generally hating the
- 21:43system. That's why they're burning
- 21:44effigies of cops.
- 21:55>> [cheering]
- 21:58>> Now again, I know the American people
- 22:00were just hungering for normality. I get
- 22:02it. I too I do. I get it.
- 22:04I've been saying for very a long time, a
- 22:07long time, literally probably a decade,
- 22:09that Americans just want normality.
- 22:10That's all we want. Well, unfortunately,
- 22:13normality was not on the table. So,
- 22:14we're not going to get it.
- 22:15It's not going to happen. We're just
- 22:17going to keep bouncing. We're going to
- 22:18keep ping-ponging side to side until
- 22:19somebody offers normal.
- 22:21That's what's going to happen. What an
- 22:23amazing video you just watched. Wasn't
- 22:25that amazing? Well, you know, if you
