They grew up in really nice circumstances.
And instead of going into industry, they went into this kind of giant NGO nonprofit machine.
And their outcomes have been very different from people who did productive things for the world.
You know, I've said on the show many times, Elon has done more to decarbonize the planet than every activist combined.
Yeah, times 10.
And I think these NGOs and the fact that the government is increasingly outsourcing a lot of funding to them is a really big part of this problem.
And they are pursuing policies, you know, I think we talked about it last time, but the Curley effect, a mayor of Boston, you pursue policies that you know are going to be disastrous for your constituents, but they drive out your rivals.
And then you can give jobs, $600,000 a year jobs, run an NGO.
that does nothing productive to your friends and allies, and it's really organized corruption happening at a massive scale.
You know, the one thing, whatever you want to say about the Trump administration, a lot of people are up in arms about this, you know, new plane he's getting from Qatar.
Well, one, sounds like we needed a new plane, but two, it's right there for you to see.
I think there are tens of billions, maybe hundreds of billions of these payments flowing to these NGOs.
And if you look in California and New York, I think the per capita spending on homelessness has more than doubled, and it's all gone to NGOs, and outcomes have gotten worse.
In California, it's quadrupled, and outcomes have gotten worse.
So I think this is dangerous.
And I hope that the mainstream Democrats can find a compelling candidate, because I think the reason that the DSA is increasingly ascendant is not because of their ideas.
I think their ideas appeal to this very narrow subset, downwardly mobile, rich white people who increasingly maybe live in quasi-genteel poverty, because they're not doing productive things.
They may be well-intentioned, but they're not doing productive things.
and can find a compelling candidate, because I think the reason they're ascendant is Zoram Mamdani.
I think he is one of the most talented politicians I've ever seen in my lifetime.
