@PalmerLuckey @ojblanchard1 We have a SPENDING problem, NOT a revenue problem. This will fix nothing.

@mcuban @grok @grok now assess the probability of the United States leadership in AI being overtaken by China because of excessive regulation in the US and what are the implications of that?

🚨 OMG. In a mic drop moment, the father of 5-year-old Dalilah Coleman — nearly slain by an illegal alien driver — looks Democrats in the eye, and absolutely goes off...

"I REJECT your guys' sympathy, to be honest with you."

"As far as that side of the aisle goes, I think that building needs to get checked for MOLD or something because you guys are REALLY out of your guys' mind thinking that sanctuary cities are the ways you go!"

"There's no way you guys are sorry. Not ONE of you guys have EVER called me, not one of you guys have ever reached out to me, not one of you guys have ever sat there and seen me in the hallways and said, hey, sorry about your daughter."

"This is the end result of sanctuary city right here. *Motions to Dalilah* And the guy was just going to work?"

"You guys want to talk about illegal immigrants. So he's just driving to work and trying to be a part of the community. This is what happens right here!"

"You guys do it right here while you guys are grand standing on top of your soapbox."

"This is when you guys 'care.' Right here inside this room is the only time you guys 'care.'"

"I've never received anything from anybody over here at all regarding my daughter or my family or anything. Hey, Mr. Coleman, your guys Dalilah law. I want to help you revise this so that we were interested inside of it. Nothing. You guys have no pathway to anything. You guys want to sit there and talk about the pathway to citizenship. There is a pathway. It's not jump the fence and apply!" 💯

"I'm now pinching pennies. I have nine kids, by the way, that I take care of. And I had to sit there and stretch that all because of this right here."

"There's no way at all that anybody should fall victim to what's going on behind somebody who's not supposed to be here."

"If I moved into your house without your permission and I started sitting there derailing your guys' household and taking from your guys' monetary and your guys' food and stuff like that, you guys would have me either kicked out, ask me to move out or have the police escort me out. It's the same thing in the United States!"

David @friedberg on the hypocrisy of @RoKhanna:

"This is some dude who has a $300M net worth. His children have memberships at 3 country clubs."

"The dude lives in a $10M house in Washington, DC."

"And he used to be the moderate Silicon Valley guy who would go around to all the tech CEOs and founders and VCs and be like, 'Give me your money. I'm a moderate. We're going to make the Democratic Party work for you.'"

"Then he saw the tides change, and he's like, 'Oh, this is yum, yum. I'm going to run for president in 2028.'"

"Just to be clear on this, he is so unlikable, I think he'll likely end up being Secretary of Housing and Urban Development if AOC is elected president."

"I do not disagree with him or Gavin or anyone else that tax policy in America is fucked up."

"When billionaires borrow against their unrealized capital gains, they should pay capital gains tax. Capital gains tax should be 40%, not 15% or 18% or 20%. In fact, labor should pay less. Income tax should be much lower. Capital gains should be much higher. That would be a fair tax policy."

"I don't know a lot of people who are wealthy who will look me in the eye and truly disagree with that."

"It's a lot of bullshit when we all say, 'It incentivizes investment.' Great, it incentivizes investment. What are you going to do with your excess capital if the tax rate is 40% versus 20%? You're not gonna invest it now? Of course you're going to fucking invest it."

"But instead of those practical solutions like I just laid out, they're all like, 'Let's go fire up the fucking socialist train because it's worked so well in fucking Cuba and Venezuela and the Soviet Union and all these other places.'"

"What both parties are missing is a policy agenda that says: Here's the shit we have to do to keep America from going down the socialist death spiral. And they all should be fucking doing it, both sides."

Hi Ro, the real scandal is YOU, not the billionaires.

They create jobs, technology and pay taxes.

You take and take. Always asking for more money but have ZERO accountability. And you're selling one MORE magical tax that will suddenly solve all of our problems.

Scapegoat: builders (framed as billionaires)

Bailout: rampant government negligence and fraud

Over the last 25 years we have done the following;

2000: revenue $2T. Spend $1.8T. A $236B SURPLUS.
Today: revenue $5.2T. Spend $7T. A $1.8T DEFICIT.

Revenue up 2.6x. Spending up almost 4x. And the money you don't have, you print, so the inflation lands on everyone who isn't you.

So where does the money go???

Everything has gotten worse.

Healthcare: the most expensive it has ever been. Test scores: historic lows. Infrastructure is degrading and some of the worst in the world. Housing affordability is absolutely wrecked.

Debt in 2000: $5.7T. Today: $39T. We now burn over $1T a year just on the interest. More than the entire military.

Record revenue. Record debt. And a normal family is further from a home than their parents were, on a quarter of the budget.

So the simple question. After all of that, why should anyone hand you EVEN MORE to torch?

You want to gaslight us into thinking one more tax saves it. It does not. You do not fix this with a bigger check.

Show me zero based budgeting. Show me a single outcome worth $7T a year.

Where does $7T go, Ro. Riddle me that.

"My son didn't intend to hurt anyone. My son was defending himself."

"What stuck out to me was the all-white jury, but I was trying to be like it's not that big of a deal, the truth is on our side."

The jury wasn't all-white, it included Indians, Asians

“There is a phrase for what Reich does in the 𝕏 post. It is not analysis, and it is not advocacy, both of which can be honest. It is a particular kind of laundered demagoguery in which numbers are stripped of their definitions, juxtaposed for emotional effect……”
