And here she is talking to Jesse Watterers about Gen Z and the hypocrisy and lack of self awareness is so rich. playay the clip. Kids and I call them kids because they're in their twenties. Yeah. And they've never had real jobs and they're complaining things are expensive. Yes, things are expensive when you don't have a real job.. Do you think that's getting traction? compomlaining Unfortunately, I do because this generation, my generation, I hate to say it, Gen Z and those younger than me have been raised with just silver spoons in their mouths, just getting everything handed to them. That's not the values this country was built on. It was built on meritocracy and hard work, pulling up your sleeves, pulling yourself up from your boot straps and achieving the American dream This is a woman who is married to a sixty year old rich guy So if she wants to talk about putting things in her mouth to advance forward. Let's have that conversation, Caroline. let's talk about what you put in your mouth compared to what hard wororking Americans put in their mouth to get the positions where they are. That's first and foremost Secondly, I think it's incredibly important to talk about the fact that she is completely bald face lying in a propagandic sense and gaslighting the public about silver spoons Donald Trump inherited half five hundred million dollars, completely bankrupted at multiple, multiple, multiple times. He would be in prison right now, if not for the lack of us always capitulating to right wing narratives and always capitulating to this patriarchal system that white men shouldn't be held fully accountable because what's that going to do to the electorate? So we have a lot of us have incubated this situation Then you get to his kids, dumb and dumber, which there is a video of Trump saying, you know, my kids are able to trade stock now because they have all this insider information So there's no meritocracy with Demond Demmer. There's no meritocracy with Caroline Levittt. Caroline Levittt just knows how to suck the chromeb off the tailpipe, and that she has ascended to be in this position These people lecturing us about hard work and bootstraps is just late stage versize stuff. That's where we are in this phase of this fascist takeover. Not to mention Caroline Levitt, who ran for Congress twice has left the vendors And there are hundreds of thousands of dollars in her for her campaign that she's never paid back. So don't talk to me about what it takes bootstraps and working, when you have left all the people that you hired to you work for you unpaid, just like Donald Trump has never paid So many people in his life when they did work, He took them to court. He just ran them out of money. the person that works For these, you know, wannab be rich people, they're the ones that get fucked, just like the working class electorate under the Trump administration. All right, and then this whole U government, the whole entire executive branch, the cabinet are full of submissive men with no backbone or women that carry the water for the patriarchy. all right. Elon Musk was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. allegedly came to the United States illegally. And this is before I even get to the fact that Melania Trump also ascended being first lady, similarly than the way Caroline Levittt did. But back to Musk He goes on and on about you the government and how terrible it is and how immigrants are awful irony listener is he is an immigrant It takes government money To the tune thirty eight billionars Dollars, pop this up Elon Musk's business empire is built on thirty eight billion in government funding. and Medi Han says, a taker, you say. And what this is in response to his He Everybody's mad at Zoron because Zoron gave a very American speech about actual bootstraps, about actual criticism, about the actual First Amendment critical thinking and I don't like this parts of the country and I don't like this parts, and let's embrace diversity. And this is very triggering for mediocre M white men like Elon Mus. So he called H Zoron, a taker and not a maker And Elon's assumption there is that he's this big maker. There is not a bigger taker on the planet than Elon Musk. He takes the eggs from random women on Twitter. because he can't have a traditional marriage because he's too weird, nobody would want to marry him. And he takes all of this money in government contracts And he just, this guy is a parasite of the. highighest order Now he's all sucked up to the stock market. and there's these weird rules about you have to invest in SpaceX and I don't understand all the minutuche in it. But this guy is the most parasitic immigrant this country has ever allowed citizenship for Evan loves Warf, whollow on Twitter, follows Elon exclusively and really gives us some great reporting, has some good analysis on this. pop this up. Past, o Doch has officially ended on july fourth as agencies push to hire jobs lost under Elon Mush, Trump administration's cost cutting effort goes out with a whimper after upending lives of thousands of federal employees And Evan response, cost was eleven billion dollars, ended pediatric cancer research destroyed U. S. aid programs, keeping millions alive and has already caused hundreds of thousands of deaths. One of the biggest and most evil failures of Trump and Elon Musk in particular. So The Caroline Lovets and the MAGa of it all propaganded to a white electorate Christian signal, they talk about bootstraps, they talk about Hard work. None of these people know what that is Caroline Levitt And I'm just gonna be really frank here has fucked her way to the top, which I'm not knocking it but don't get there and then act like you're so such a bootstrap gal. I mean, it's just unbelievable. And the same with Elon Musk, donon't take all of these government subsidies, a lot of them from Barack Obama's administration. don't take the citizenship when you were an immigrant. and then get there and then criticize everybody else after you. You're not the special person, the only person that's allowed these things But I think what bothers me most is Remove Musk, his personality, rememove Caroline Leveittt, remove Trump. It's the system There's systemic failures here that have incubated and created this. These are just the caricatures that are easy to hate But the system still remains, and that's why I think you see Zorn Mamdani rising up as the face of the Democratic Party, because he's speaking anti status quo, he's speaking about The system incubated these lies and this propaganda that people like to tell themselves about American exceptionalism when really Like if if And this administration is American exceptionalism. There's a living breathing example of it's just absolute American failure Nobody in Trump's administration would you ever let Babysit your kid Like that's how low the bar is with how morally depraved these people are Well, when you look at his cabinet, if you just go around and look for meritocracy in his cabinet, the people who are running agencies Mark Wayne Mullon, he has zero experience running, anything larger than plumbing company Christie No, same thing, zero experience. I'm going to say something. I do think that Mark Wayne Mullen was a United States Senator And he ran a business. and I think any sort of, I don't think that I can't stand Mark Wayne Mullin. and I can't stand Christ, No but she was a governor. She had an executive I mean we're going to have we're going to have Democrats that come up that have and Zoron Mamani didn't have a whole lot of experience beforehand. You're going to have people in these positions that were maybe working class people or had some political experience. Barack Obama, for example, he didn't have H hardardly any executive experience at all and he became president So I completely agree that these the thing is these people have ascended because they believe in Donald Trump first and foremost Barack Obama had principles. Zororm Mamoni had principles. They didn' neeither one had a lot of experience. So even on the Democratic side, we have politicians without a whole lot of experience that are able to ascend to high positions It is unique to this cabinet that they are only loyal to what Donald Trump's impulses are Well, and they were chosen based on Right are headshots and their ability to go on TV and propagandize. I'm kidding. No, I know it's true. That's why I'm laughing on headshot. But these people do not have experience running budgets and going in and surrounding themselves by experts the difference between Barack Obama who didn't have a whole lot of experience, he surrounded himself by experts in the field when it came to economy, economists financial gurus, these people do not surround themsel with experience because the only job qualification is I will wat up the Constitution and do whatever the fuck you tell me That's why they're in these positions. And so now we're seeing all this anger and failure and thoughtoughts weren't ech was absolutely like I got the tingles, I got the chills. It made me so happy to see somebody saying that because of the whitewashing that's going on. And we can't talk about how the bad things that the United States has done previously and now because it hurts people's feelings. How are we ever going to get better If we deny it, how are we ever going to get better I think they don't want it to get better though. I mean, that's the whole part of the propaganda. They want to this is the way propaganda works. They keep feeding it and feeding it. And then when somebody speaks something factual and intellectual and critically thinking like Zoron, it's a stage five meltdown because he represents everything that they fear If you look at Zoron Mam Dani and Elon Mask, Elon Mask immigrant government contracts, huge taker, huge parasites Zoron Mamani, immigrant, community organizer, worked his way up in city government, ran for mayor, didn't take corporate donations, didn't win the easy way, won the hardest way imaginable He is an antidote to everything that these people are incapable of doing Elon Musk couldn't put his name on a ballot and run without taking, you know, funding his own campaigns or taking a bunch of corporate pact money and getting people to go knock doors for him. Who's going to go knock a door for Elon Musk? He just has an imaginary bot farm on Twitter that ppped him up The difference is Elon Musk is white presenting and Zoron Mamanni has a weird name for American standandards. I think it's a cool name, but a lot of white people will think Zoron, Mam Donni, what kind of fucked up name is that He sounds like he's foreign And he's Muslim And we've been propagandized to think that Muslims are all terrorists And that is a huge problem, the antidote that he offers. Combine that with other rising up progressives that have some melanin in their skin or maybe not a traditional Anglo Saxon styleass name, or maybe aren't Christian or aren't religious, or maybe they're Muslim. It's a real fear because That's why you hear underneath all of this on Twitter and with all of the talks, you hear about the great replacement theory all of the time. becausecause they're very scared of this new Gen Z push of Americans, Zoron is an American. and a lot of these other DSA members are Americans. They are going to try to disqualify them and say they don't have experience. They're going to try to disqualify them and say they're not American enough. They're going to say that they're, you, radical jihadist, Sharia law jobs and all of this stuff But at the end of the day, these people are talking about delivering materially. for the American public. and The last time we had a very far left president was FDR. And he was so wildly popular. He delivered materially. And FDR wasn't a socialist. He did all of the social safety net things that he did because he wanted to protect capitalism And if the capitalists in our country really genuinely cared about capitalism They would continue to do the same, deliver for workers and to protect that system. But something happens in capitalism where wealth inequality just gets so bad that now you see this swing. towards the DSA because the status quo was not delivering at all
