t of flow state. If you're young that coffee maker sounds like the best freaking idea. Seriously one button I love that. But if you're my age and as soon as you saw how many features this thing had you said to yourself oh I know how this is going to go. I still like it. I still recommend it by the way. It's a good machine. The Miele makes way better coffee than a Mr. Coffee and Mr. Coffee is a fin…
← Previous segment →augh and say that's an easy one. The Republican state's doing great the Democrat state becomes a socialist hellhole. And would be right.
You say this to a Democrat what do you think they would say? Would they say you know the Democrat one's going to be like a utopia and the Republican one is going to have no abortion no rights everybody has to be like some religious fanatic or something? Would they say that? I have a hypothesis that they would change the topic. So go like this. Here's my thought experiment you know one state does this one state does the other what happens in 25 years describe it. Oh you're one of those Trump supporters. Okay I might be or it might not be but that has nothing to do with the topic. What do you think these two states would do? Don't try this with me you Trump supporter. You know that's how it would go.
So my hypothesis is that you would soon learn that Democrats can't game forward the current system to know what it turns into. What do you think? And that we just imagine it's a philosophical difference. Not at all. It's just math and ability to imagine the future.
Konstantin Kisin said this. He said that on X and he said the people who are the strongest advocates for Western civilization are people like me who have experienced the alternative which is similar to what I'm saying. So Konstantin says he has this thing called experience and he knows that this set of activities leads to something he's lived through and it's hell. Now he's a youngish guy so in this case he had a real life experience which caught him put him up to speed pretty quickly. Yeah he's 38 that's a young guy I mean by my standards. So yes the people who understand cause and effect and math and what leads to what are kind of all on the same side.
Speaking of Jamie Dimon how funny is it that a Democrat, and you could argue that Jamie Dimon he's the CEO of JP Morgan, you could argue he's the most important finance banker money guy in the country. Is that fair? You can say Warren Buffett but that's more of a portfolio situation. I think Jamie Dimon would be the number one banker business guy in the country by reputation as well as job. How funny is it that he made national headlines and trended for days simply for saying something that was observable and normal? It was national news that a prominent Democrat said something normal and observable we can all see it.
And what he said was it's not going to turn out well if you demonize MAGA. How do you not know that? Like why did Jamie Dimon have to say in public that you really need to knock off the demonizing part of your own public? Why? Because Jamie Dimon does not have TDS and he's a certain age where he knows how things work. He knows how things work so he's trying to educate his younger dumber Democrats and he told them directly look you got to cut out this MAGA are all bad stuff. That will only lead to bad. Correct. And he said you got to grow up and understand that Trump has a lot of supporters strictly because he got the big stuff right. He said Jamie Dimon says he got taxes right, China right, immigration right, something else.
But just hold in your head the amazingness of the fact that it was national news not that Jamie Dimon said something smart because it's kind of obvious. I mean to all of us it's obvious that Trump did a bunch of things that Biden is not getting right. Obvious. And it's obvious that demonizing one part of the public can't possibly lead to anything good. So when you look at Jamie Dimon he does not look like he's brainwashed. You look at his eyes you look at his face you listen to the things he says and he sounds like somebody who is just telling you what's right in front of you right in front of you. We all see it. And him being a Democrat who can simply describe what we all see was national news. That's how bad it is. The TDS is so bad that when somebody can cut through it as Jamie Dimon did is news. I guess I'm just blown away by the fact that it's news that should have been a nothing. It should have been a guy was talking right because we should have all been on that page. It should have been a guy talking and nobody cared because it would be like well you already thought the obvious.
All right here's another one. Fetterman made news by saying that he believes China should own zero farmland in the United States. Again a prominent Democrat made news by saying something that's obvious and observable and how could you disagree with it? Because and he also said he agrees with DeSantis you know which I guess made it a little more of a news thing. So Fetterman makes news not because he's disagreeing with Democrats but because the thing he's talking about is both obvious and observable. What possible benefit does the United States get from China owning our farmland? They could literally turn off our food if they had enough. Imagine that they just tell their farmers to leave the crops in the field. If they owned enough farmland we'd be begging for food. So no it's a terrible idea. Fetterman's right.
Sean Strickland he's a UFC fighter and he's making a lot of noise and he you know I already told you about him doing some anti-woke stuff that made a lot of news but he did it again. So he had another event and he just went nuts on the crowd who was just cheering like crazy and he doesn't like Nike he calls it the Chinese check mark because of the swoosh the Chinese check mark. So he sees all of his competitors who are in the Chinese check mark and he's mocking them for literally being marked by China. And I think okay you know my first impression of him was not here's our next leader and the smartest guy in the room. That was honestly that wasn't my first impression. And then he keeps talking and he wins me over totally. Won me over like you know I'm not going to say I agree with everything he says he says some pretty rough stuff but he won me over. He's like a real citizen who wants the citizens of the United States to be respected and do well and he doesn't care who he punches to make it happen.
And somebody a fan actually stormed, he was on a stage at a table with a bunch of other people. Imagine in today's world somebody from the audience storms the table while he's speaking in a very provocative way. The guy ran up there to shake his hand in the middle of his speech. Have you ever seen that? And here's the best part. You see an adult man coming at you hard after you said provocative things what do you feel? Well you should feel fear. If I'm giving a speech and I see a man stand up and run toward me and run up on stage and lean across the table I'm going into full defensive mode. But I'm not a champion UFC fighter. Do you know what the champion UFC fighter did? Stood up kept talking shook his hand. It was beautiful. It was beautiful. Yeah you have to see it.
All right and then you all know that President Milei, I never say it right, of Argentina you know he went to the WEF in Davos and basically told them their collectivism ideas are going to ma

ke everybody poor and they're all elite idiots. I made up that last part but he implied that. Now we of course all cheered and said well isn't that unique that thing that happened one time ever. Well it turns out it wasn't one time ever. So the WEF got another little wake-up call from a gentleman named Kevin Roberts who's from some I think he's some Republican think tank kind of guy but he got an…
