Like cut off funding to Ukraine, for example, and be like also a fiscal conservative.

Like, I think there's a lot of room there for someone to do that.

Now, I think it's really hard at the same time, because if you're going to do that and win,

I think you have to be charismatic.

You have to sort of have the kind of juice that Trump has, which has allowed him to unite this complicated coalition.

I don't know that anyone has that at this point.

So...

This is such an important dynamic, which is so many of these podcaster guys are interested in anti-establishment seeming candidates.

This is why they like Trump, but it's also why a lot of them like Bernie Sanders.

Andrew Schultz loved Bernie Sanders back in 2020, and he talks about it all the time.

So I think for them, Mamdani fits the same thing.

He's charming.

He doesn't sound like other politicians.

And this is part of the risk of

with this coalition is the moment you betray them like a politician would, the moment you sort of seem inauthentic or two-faced is the moment that they drop you.

No, I reached out to Andrew Schultz and they declined.

So this is a really interesting dynamic at play, a sinister dynamic at play in the manosphere right now.

I think you can separate a lot of these guys by how much they blame Trump himself versus how much people blame Israel.

So you have people like Andrew Schultz who talk about Israel, but that's sort of as far as they're willing to go.

They mostly blame Trump for a lot of his choices with Iran.
