um they might need a little bit of a boost when it comes to providing certain necessities like housing or food or clothing but broadly speaking i mean i'm still a liberal not a communist or socialist i don't believe in the you know total command economy total communist takeover of all of the uh you know economy but i think that broadly speaking the government should kind of like kick in and help people when they need it and that government can and should be big

Not necessarily. I noticed that when liberals talk about government, especially taxes, it seems like they talk about it for taxes sake or bigness sake. So people talk about taxes sometimes as like a punishment, like tax the rich. I think taxing the rich is fine insofar as it funds the programs that we want to fund. But Democrats have a really big problem demonizing success or wealth.

And I don't think that's a bad thing. I don't think it's a bad thing to be wealthy, to be a billionaire or whatever, as long as we're funding what we need to fund.

Can I ask a question on that? I'm so curious. Okay. Um, I'm excited for this conversation because I consider you to be really intelligent. Um, but I feel like sometimes there are ways that conservatives talk about certain issues that seem to defy logic and reason, I guess. So here, and I'm sure you feel the same way about progress.

Well, I feel the same way about progressives, um, but even some, uh, liberals for sure. Uh, Before I ask this question, it's going to relate to education. We can agree broadly speaking that statistics are real and that not everybody could do everything. So for a grounded example, my life was pretty bad.

I got into streaming and I turned my life around and that was really cool, but I can't expect everybody to do what I did, right? Like everybody being able to join the NBA or to be like a streamer. Of course, everybody has different qualities, sure. Okay. So I used to be a lot more libertarian when I was 20, 21.

And one of the things that dramatically changed kind of my view on government manipulation of things in the, I guess, in society came when it came time to deal with my son and the school that he went to. And one of the things that I noticed was when it came time to send my son to school, I could either do private education or I could do public.
