Now hanging out with the host of the Wade show with Wade.
It is Wade Stats.
What is up, Wade?
It's a pleasure to be here.
You know, they say where there's a will, there's a Wade,
and I just want to make sure that that comes true this morning
on this lovely Tuesday.
How are you, sir?
That, my friend, was the campaign.
pain promise on the race for presidency in fifth grade at Wakefield Elementary.
Oh.
Where there's a will, there's a way.
Unfortunately, I lost that race to my friend Casey Campbell, who gave a speech as the man
of many hats.
And he stood on stage with a bunch of hats and put on a ball cap, a hard hat, a cowboy hat.
He put them all on, and it won the crowd over.
And I lost my race for presidency of fifth grade.
I got to tell you
I probably like a star on the rocks.
Now that's right, Patrick.
Now I'm the man with two hats.
That's right, Patrick.
What goes around comes around?
Yeah, I'm sure you were a gracious loser
bringing it up all these years later.
Two hats, one show, two shows.
Love it.
Did you ever run for anything like class president,
student council?
Did you ever run anything?
I acted about.
above it all. I sort of like, my goal in school was to not be good enough at school to be
noticed and not to be bad enough at school to be noticed, but just sort of like slide through
for 12 years. And I did it. So it worked. It's interesting. What kind of high school did you go to,
Wade? I went to public school in Arkansas, a lot of several of them. I moved around a little bit,
but yeah, that was my, that was my life. And I, you know, if I get up on stage, I put on a hat,
rural public schools in Arkansas? Yeah, yeah. It was in North Florida.
Northeast Arkansas, Rice Field kind of area.
Yeah. Lovely place to grow up.
Memphis.
Okay.
Up towards Memphis.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's probably pretty similar to how I grew up.
I mean, public high school, one high school in town, the town of 30,000 people.
Patrick, did you ever run for anything?
Well, I was homeschooled, Will.
Really?
He ran.
The fault class president.
He ran to his crew.
I got into the football team.
Yeah.
Congratulations.
You come from a long line of homeschooling.
Interesting.
You were homeschooled.
That back when homeschooling was probably not as acceptable.
That was weird kids, which you're the weird kid.
So, yeah.
It checks out.
For sure.
Checks out.
Dan, did you ever run for secretary or treasurer or vice president?
No.
I was kind of the class clown, so you can't really be the clown.
and the king at the same time.
So it wasn't my...
You were clown?
Oh, yeah.
I was trying to make everybody laugh the whole time.
I couldn't do it.
Really?
Yeah, I appreciate the lightness of bringing that to school.
I'm going somewhere with this.
Do you think, if you look back on it, who you were in high school is a good reflection of who
you are now?
Do you think, like Patrick made the joke, do you think your high school classmates go,
That checks out.
That's interesting.
Yeah, I mean, if I was the guy who was just trying to, you know, be the class nothing, just sort of slide through, then I think people probably would be surprised that I was talking on the air.
But other than that, you know, yeah, pretty much.
Yeah, I think they'd be surprised.
Wade ended up a streamer.
We had things to say.
We care about his opinion.
What a weird guy.
What a weird guy.
Once a while he talks.
What a strange fella.
Patrick, do you think your mom thinks, you know, I'm trying to think about who was in your homeschool class.
Does she say, yeah, this checks out?
Well, she's a bit odd as well, so a little quirky.
I feel like that's one of those moments.
I feel like that's worth digging.
Everything I just heard is worth digging.
Like I need a backhoe and I just need to keep digging deeper right there.
there. I've found something. I don't know if it's oil. I don't know if it's pyrite,
but underneath this dirt right here, if I keep digging, there's something of note.
I'm sure said with love, though, all of it. Yeah. Yeah, with love.
With love. Hassan Piker has a quote out. I want to pull up the exact quote, Wade,
but he seems to have coined a new term. Asan Piker, far left, Maoist.
streamer. He said this. He said, hold on, I got it. Blue Maga is about cult-like loyalty to the Democrat
Party. But unlike MAGA, it is centered, it is not centered around one person. It's centered
around the image of a party that consultants and lobbyists have carefully curated. Maga leaves
the power in the hands of Donald Trump. Blue Maga leaves the power in the hands of a neoliberal
Democratic Party that tells them better things aren't possible. Okay. Now, we can, and maybe we should,
take another moment to talk about us on Piper. You weren't with this yesterday. We talked about his
Mao costume. There's a clip of him on his streaming show saying Mao was one of the great leaders
of history. And so for anybody listening, and we have listeners and viewers of
every political stripe.
Like, I think the wrong thing to do would be to dismiss what I just read to you or this
concept of Blue Maga because of the source it's coming from.
We can and should laugh about the source or point out the source and oh my God, look what he's
wearing and he's leaning into full on totalitarianism and these kinds of things.
But I think he also said something true.
Maybe you don't want to call it Blue Mag or not, but this is what I want to explore right here.
And I don't have it really nailed down, but you're the perfect guy because this is what I want to explore, Wade.
Yeah, I think the thing that you can make fun of is the labeling, mainly because, like, Blue Maga only works as a pejorative in sort of Piper's world where, like, Maoism is a compliment.
And Blue Maga, oh, that's sort of an inside club thing.
But yeah, there is such a thing as the establishment of the Democrat Party.
And the establishment of the Democrat Party, the frustration that he feels is that that's
where the money is.
And I think that he is realizing he's getting lots of streams, which is a different kind of
vote of confidence.
So he sees all these people, they tend to vote for the Democrats.
The Democrat Party apparatus is very wealthy.
It can get a lot of things done.
but he's getting all this attention online and feels like he's a sort of alternative movement.
And I think that there is something there.
There's not nothing there.
The issue, though, is that the internet is a place where everybody from all over the world can meet.
So it's really difficult for Hassan Piker to really be able to recognize how much of his audience is homegrown and how much of his audience is American, how much of his audience is soon to be deported living in America.
We just don't know how big his movement is here.
But yes, there is certainly a divide between the more radical people who maybe have voted Democrat in the past or are more liberal communist like Mao, enjoy Stalin, et cetera.
And the core of the Democrat Party, which is, again, where the money is and where the prestige is.
The trouble for – and where Hassan Piker is smart is that he's attacking them when they are at their weakest.
So there is no visible Obama.
They can't run Obama again.
And if they could, they would.
But, and they recognize, okay, it's been publicly, the prestige has gone after Biden.
It's gone after Kamala.
All of these kind of figureheads that they've tried to put at the top of this sort of bureaucratic party apparatus have been obvious sort of sock puppets.
And so he sees himself, again, as an alternative.
I don't know, we can't measure the actual size of his American homegrown audience.
But we can recognize, yes, that those two parties do exist and they are forces.
And yes, the Democrats do want to at some level cater to these people.
They've been doing everything they can to while also trying to hold on to the like seven people in the middle of the country
who still think of the Democrat Party as the party the working man, the party of the sort of average American who might be a little liberal on some socialists.
So the best we can do to try to measure the size of this movement in America is to point out that I believe over the past roughly three or four months, the membership of the Democratic Socialists of America has gone from 50,000 to over 120,000 and exerted real political power in a way that we haven't seen perhaps since the early 1900s.
like, I mean, Mamdani, Plattenor's, you know, virtual victory in Maine.
Abdul al-Said. We'll see if he wins.
Various congressional races, including states like Arizona.
I mean, how about this?
Is this the high watermark of socialism since perhaps the 1930s?
1930s?
Like, yeah.
Like, if you had a graph, if we did a line graph, if we did a line graph, this is a high watermark
since that time, right?
Like, I wouldn't even think, you think the 60s even had an, as an overt socialist movement
as we have right now?
They had Black Panthers and that kind of thing.
But I don't know.
It's like, McCarthyism.
So, okay, fair, fair, Patrick.
Yes, like the Red Scare, the rise of communism.
But, Patrick, that wasn't winning elections, right?
That was like a Hollywood thing.
Am I wrong?
Was that winning elections?
That had a representation in government that was overt.
There was subversive.
There was subversive influence.
But was there overt populist appeal of communism?
There wasn't, but there were lots of them in the government.
So the McCarthyism is mainly seen as sort of, you know,
you call Walt Disney and you call, you know, different Hollywood people to rat on the communists.
You get Dalton Trumbo out of, out of Hollywood.
You get the guy who wrote Bridge on the River Kwai out of Hollywood, that sort of thing.
But the CIA, if you read a lot of this sort of stuff, was in large part infiltrated by communists.
And so there were, you know, parts of this basically, I think Dan Bongino has talked about, like, how there are two FBI's.
there's always been this kind of like subversive element that has in some in some eras dominated the intelligence community and in some eras been sort of in the backseat and running things while the the face is more we fight crime so fighting the the communist threat the socialist threat this sort of thing from within has always been an issue but yes it wasn't it wasn't on the posters nobody was was standing there going vote for me i'm going to bring socialism to america they had to hide it
behind a sort of mask of, no, I just want a little more welfare for the guys who can't, you know,
make it work, living paycheck to paycheck, that sort of thing. So yes, that is absolutely, people
willing to, you know, sort of name themselves socialists, I think is in response to their,
they are perceiving that, oh, the right has gone insane. The Trump coalition, they're going
full fascist. And so I guess in order to answer that, we have to embrace the fact that we are also
extremists and that we're going to embrace all the labels they've been calling us over the years.
And people are happy to do it, especially, again, online, where there aren't social consequences
like there would be for most Americans putting on their job application.
I am a registered socialist.
Okay.
I disagree a little bit with one thing you just said, but I'm going to get to that.
But I just want to clarify.
So we agree, it's not as though there wasn't a socialist or communist movement in America,
but it was much more subversive through the mid-20th century.
That's probably the best way to characterize that.
And subversiveness was literal infiltration, not just of Hollywood, but of government institutions as well.
And that, therefore, was the purpose of McCarthyism to root that out.
And what we should also put as a clarification, this was not simply an ideological movement.
It wasn't simply, we don't like the opinions of these people, but in many cases,
it was directly funded back to institutions connected to the USSR.
Like they were playing an active role, much like we suspect China might be doing today,
in creating this dissent, this communist descent inside of these institutions in America.
Fair?
Yeah.
Absolutely.
And it goes back to even within the Roosevelt administration.
FDR's administration had lots of communists who are trying to soften FDR up for Stalin.
So to make these meetings go well, and not just for the purposes of the war,
but for the purposes of making sure that the USSR had plenty of money and ammunition
for the coming Cold War that they knew was going to happen next.
Let's take a quick break, but continue this conversation with the host of the Wade Show with Wade.

Welcome back to Will Kane Country. We're still hanging out with the host of the Wade show with Wade, Wade, Wade Stott.
Breaking down the rise of socialism and what this means for Democrats.
Okay, so what I disagree with, and this is what I wanted to get to, and this is back to the legitimacy, I believe, regardless of the size of the movement.
I do believe it's the high watermark since the early 1920s or 1930s for socialism, acceptable to the public.
Now my question is, how do we get here?
And this is tying into what Piker said about the Democrat Party.
My contention, Wade, is, and I want to sound this out with you, this is not a reaction to Donald Trump.
It's only a reaction to Donald Trump insofar as the Democrat Party has radicalized their own base.
So what I think is the Democrat Party played with matches and lit a fire.
And now that fire is out of control.
So that fire, the matches that were lit by the mainstream Democrat Party were Trump is a fascist, Trump is a Nazi.
But not just that.
Identity.
Everybody is racist.
Everybody is transphobic.
That stuff.
And they whipped their own voting base up.
Not everybody who votes Democrat, but a large percentage of people.
of a Democrat, whipped them up into this belief that they are in this existential fight,
this existential fight, right?
That existential fight could be on their own identity, it could be on transgenocide,
it could be on, we're about to lurch into Nazism.
They played with this for over a decade.
And, I mean, take your Chuck Schumers and your Chris Murphys, and whatever, they all gave
you the rhetoric of this.
And then they looked up one day, and they got Grand Platner.
and they got Hassan Piker.
Why would you not get that at some point if you've told people this is where you are?
And what does the Democrat Party do?
The same thing that they've always done.
How they undercut Bernie Sanders for Hillary Clinton, how they replaced Joe Biden with Kamala Harris,
how they took out Graham Platner for whoever it is going to be next, but not voted on by the people.
They, one of the most centralized elite establishment institutions in America, the Democrat Party.
And you can't say that about the Republican Party anymore because Trump blew that to smithereens.
We'll see.
There's still a, what do you call it, a nub or a, we'll see what happens about the Republicans' establishment, reasserting control post-Trump.
But the Democrats undercut their own voters.
That's what they did.
And Hassan Piker is noticing that.
He's noticing that this rhetoric is fed and then co-opted by the likes of Chuck Schumer.
And then the will of the people that they created this passion in is undercut by Blue Maga.
I think that's very perceptive.
There's a, there's a kind of, the tool with which they are whipping up their base is basically envy.
And turning people into, you have more than me, you are, you have more prestige than me.
And therefore, I need to take that away from you so that I can have it, or at least we can be level.
And so this leveling impulse, then they're just hoping that nobody notices the vast inequality between the establishment of the Democrat Party and the sort of everyday voter for the Democrat Party.
I think that's exactly right that once you kind of Jurassic Park style think that you can put a little bit of envy in the test tube, you find that it doesn't stay there.
It doesn't stay in the test tube. Sometimes it comes and eats you.
And every, like, every monster story that has ever been told since Frankenstein has that kind of underlying thing.
But we don't tend to learn that because we think, I can control the sort of the more base parts of humanity and then just turn them from my ends.
But they'll never, they'll never come back and haunt me.
So there's two, there's two of these monster doses that you can put into the vial.
One is populism and one is envy.
So I was almost even leaning into the populism side of it.
And I'm, you know, people of, populism is a fascinating conversation and it's coming up for about a, you know, at least five years in term, it's more than five years old.
Donald Trump is a populist president.
That's what he is.
And so for a lot of conservatives that could not ever reconcile themselves to Donald Trump, they are the, and originally I think they were, the principal-based conservatives, like the National Review.
Right? Like, no, we believe in these principles. He is not. He's a populist. He even undercuts some of these principles. I'll never do this. Now, weirdly, a lot of that meant a lot of those people ended up becoming never Trump. And then they basically became Democrats. We've seen it happen all across television and everywhere. So that doesn't explain all of them. But I've said to people, populism is a fire. You know, it can warm you or it can burn down your house. It can do either thing.
And I think that populism, I have thought for the last 10 years, some element of populism is good.
But I can also see, like you talking about putting envy in the test tube, too much populism?
That's not good.
Okay. Patrick, you and I had the debate this morning, as we always do on our morning call, you talk about affordability, you talk about inflation, you talk about cost of groceries.
And I said to you, any politician at any point in history, in any civilization, can make those arguments.
They can. That is not to say they're not true. At any given moment, more true sometimes than others, right? But anybody can because it is the base level of populism that will get people to vote for you. It is the high school kid running for class principal who says, I'm going to put a Coke machine in the commons. It is the PRI in Mexico, handing out groceries in the voting line on the way to the ballot box. That is populism. And it, it, it, it, it, it.
it can burn your house down.
And I think there's another element I want to come back to on the envy side of what you're talking about, Wade,
but that's the danger of populism, and that's what's happening to Democrats right now.
I think that's entirely fair.
The thing that I would say is that for a long time, the principled conservative voices tended to say that not only are you like, yes,
Life is tough and it's tough to pay for groceries.
However, it probably is because you're not working hard enough.
And you probably just like, and that at some level feels cold or distant.
And so you have to at least make sure that people know that you care about their daily lives
and that you're not just appealing to kind of abstract principles that increasingly feel distant from these people's lives.
And so if there is a conservative answer to these questions, and I think that you're not,
think that there is and in a way that could be called conservative and American and has basis in
history here. If that's the answer, then you need to show that your solution is a better
solution to their problems. And not just demonstrated on the blackboard. I totally agree with you.
Oh, yeah. I feel like conservatism is teaching a math lesson or a college course in how this is
going to get better over the long run. And the weird thing about it is,
conservatism, capitalism, all this stuff has a long track record that every
everybody should buy. Like, it's very clear that it does. And the, the, the, the, the, the Norwegians and the
Germans and the Spanish and the Argentinians and all the people just came to America for the World Cup
got a first, they got a firsthand experience in it, right? That's, do you want to know why we have
unlimited refills for coax? Do you want to know why chips show up at your table without having ordered
them? And the basket is never empty? Do you want to know why a hundred thousand person
stadium has air conditioning? The answer is, because,
of conservatism and capitalism. It is because of those principles. However, Wade,
I totally get it. If that dude's handing out groceries, and I'm telling you that you're all
richer over a 30-year time horizon, I lose. You know, like, I lose that debate. And by the way,
I totally agree with you as well. It lacks empathy, especially when there are some policies,
and I know Patrick wants to jump in on this, I'm pretty sure. There are policies like immigration,
and I would even say some free trade agreements,
and free trade agreements are great for lifting the rising tide
to make consumer goods cheaper,
but it did ship a lot of jobs away and that kind of thing,
where you can't simply continue to sell the populace the math equation.
You've got to give them another answer for real problems.
I totally agree, and I think that that's the key disconnect,
is that why the conservatives have not won the argument
is that they haven't had the power.
And I think that there are plenty of ways in which, you know, Trump bringing back manufacturing,
people can understand, okay, that does mean good things for my town at a conceptual level.
But when people really start to understand it is when the factories come back, when the factories start opening.
And so with the power, then you can demonstrate, okay, the plan that I have actually does help you.
And not just like, okay, you're getting X amount per month from the government.
I'm going to I'm going to make that two times.
People can be such a very easy concept.
But without power, without the actual, an actual conservative governance,
MAGA governance as we have now, working its logic out for some time,
then yes, it just becomes a blackboard argument.
And you can always raise your hand and go, what about this?
Or I don't, that doesn't resonate with me emotionally.
But yes, I think that the issue, though, is that sometimes people don't have the imaginative capacity
to see logic run itself out.
So I for one do think that there are going to be plenty of positive economic results from mass deportations.
And I think that the trouble is that in order to, for these mass deportations to happen, a lot of things are going to happen that make people's emotions sort of stand up on end.
It gets them upset.
But if we can make that sort of thing happen, then there are going to be lots of positive economic things.
And yes, there are tradeoffs.
It's tough to do that.
But, I mean, let's test the logic.
Let's see how it pushes through.
And I think that we are seeing positive results.
My hope is that any, no matter what is happening, you can always be convinced that you could have more, that you could always, you could always, you know, even if things are good, you can always look at somebody who has it a little bit better.
And that's something, again, that you cannot.
And that's the human condition.
Envy is part of the human condition.
We are a comparative species.
We are rich.
like pretty much
there is poverty in America, but the concept
of poverty is
totally different than what it used to be
and totally different than what it is worldwide.
And the easiest way to explain that
is our poor people are fat.
Our poor people are fat.
And no point in human history has that
ever been the case.
No point in human history
have the poor.
Well, that's modern name.
Yeah, that's fair.
That's fair.
I don't know.
I mean, I don't know what exactly it is.
Are poor Mexicans fat?
I think so.
Ooh.
I'll Google it.
I'll Google it.
Oh.
Yeah.
Ooh.
Interesting.
But yes, fat poor people.
I don't know.
You threw me off there, Patrick.
Anyway, I want to play two clips, and then I want to get to that one last point I want
to get on the envy that you place into the vial, and if it spills over.
So this is Milot Keros.
So she's one of the Democrat primary.
in Colorado, right? She's a DSA candidate. And here's what she says about immigration and socialism
and the future of America. There's a certain reckoning that we are going to have to have with the global
world order as it exists today and the way that it fundamentally will have to shift going forward,
right? The responsibility that we have as Americans, the recognition that is going to be required
of us, of the exploitative and extractive nature that we play on the global scale and the global
stage is only going to be challenged if we are getting represented by people who understand
that on a fundamental level, right? And that means getting more immigrants into office. That means
getting more people who have heritage in the global south into office, because that's where
those decisions are made specifically. All right. Your reaction, Wade. Well, it all sounded really
heady and sort of broadly philosophical. It was a kind of abstract little section there. And then
suddenly there was a concrete proposal and that it was give people like me more power. That's a
very interesting sort of structure there. It's it was a it all sounded high-minded until it was like,
you know what? I'm actually very important. But the high-mindedness was the same stuff we hear.
Like it's literally like, I mean, that the reason that America is rich is
because we exploit and extract from third world countries.
That's the explanation for our success.
And that what?
You'd have Wakanda, if not for America?
Yeah, there is this idea.
I mean, the underlying assumption behind all of this
is that everybody would be doing exactly the same thing
if it weren't for exploitation,
and that everybody is just sort of waiting around.
Everybody would be Steve Jobs slash Steve Wozniak.
We got, you know, that like third world countries are brimming with just millions and billions of Steve Jobses who are just waiting to have their freedom unleashed.
And then when they're once, if you give them a garage and a couple of cables and then then they're going to build another Apple.
But it's just not the case.
The America and Americans and the people who are like build stuff and make stuff, it is an exceptional thing.
And that's, yeah.
So if you want, but it's a really comforting thought to think, you know,
know what, actually, if you just unleash me, I will be Steve Jobs. And so if you believe that and you
hold on to it and you make that your entire sort of philosophical worldview and then suddenly,
and then you get a little bit of power, then you can equal yourself at some level with Steve Jobs.
You can say, ah, yes, now I just give all these people a garage and a place to tinker with
their computers. And we have 10 million apples. What an amazing thing.

And the proposal, I know you say, is to give herself more power,
but she says, quite blatantly,
it's to bring the third world into America
and put them in positions of power,
and that's how you make America more like the rest of the world.
And so that's the goal,
to make America more like Haiti,
make America more like
Nigeria, make America more like Bolivia.
That's the solution to what?
That's the solution to making us all poorer, not all richer.
And there's this underlying assumption that, okay, what is a nation?
A nation is a system that has been set up.
And once that system is set up, then you put any people there and it's all, the system itself is going to, when you meet with those people,
then those people are going to become successful, or they're going to have the exact same results.
The issue is that that system was set up by a particular people, the American people,
and that the American people have a character that lends itself to success in the system that they built.
And so, yes, of course, people are going to think that, you know what, if I just had that opportunity,
if I just had that system, then everything would turn out well.
But yes, you import a bunch of people who are used to operating the same way, and the system changes suddenly.
And so you cannot separate the – and the system,
is not going to hang around very long if the people go away. But people think, okay, I'll go in,
and then it just becomes who can loot the treasury first and who can sort of take advantage of
the system first. So yes, the people change the system. People shape the system. You change the
people. The system changes too. Absolutely. Both sides say it, but somehow it comes off differently.
Demographics or destiny. I mean, the left says that. I mean, if the right says it, somehow it's
xenophobic or racist, but both sides say it. Demographics are death. So the one last point I want to make.
Okay, this is back to where we started in Blue Maga and Democrats and Democrat socialism.
The other thing is the coherent ideology of the left is progressivism. Stephen Miller gave great
voice to this a week ago. That is a movement with no breaks and no end. Progressivism goes and goes and goes and goes and continues to swallow.
And it swallows increasingly over that time with violence and force.
It simply does because at some point the populism fails to work anymore.
That's what you're seeing right now in Honduras.
There's just a speech by Daniel Ortega, the leader of Honduras, and he basically has canceled all elections.
So now it's no longer, you know, famously they say you can vote your way into communism,
Spencer Pratt post this morning, but you can't vote your way out of communism.
So that's what happens.
It moves on that arc.
And all the Democrat socialism represents in this movement is the next logical step that Democrats have been pushing for for what we would say probably since the 1940s.
Well, the modern progressive movement started in the Woodrow Wilson area, so the 19 teens.
And so in some ways, it's like I've been pushing these Democrats.
Distinguish yourself from Democrat socialism.
Tell me the difference.
Tell me where you draw the line.
What is it that they stand for that you don't stand for?
Where is it that you don't want to go?
Because this is just simply the next logical step on the path you've been on for almost a century or for a century.
Yeah.
And there's the general, it's tough to summarize the ideology of progress or like what the thing that they want is.
But I was talking to a friend T-2s-Teshirea, who I think got it right.
And he said that it's high openness and high.
science. So if you combine sort of openness, empathy, and feeling for other people, plus science and technology and progress, then you end up at Utopia. And increasingly, you've got progressives themselves who are trying to hide the fact that that has failed. So if you combine high science with high openness, that you're going to end up in paradise, your Jetson's world. But as that continues to fail, then you have to keep kind of slapping, you know,
what was the tape that they slap on the meme with the water shooting out of it.
You have to continue to try to patch the system, patch the dam.
And that's where a lot of immigration comes from.
And that's where a lot of just a lot of the problems that we have are people trying to cover up the fact that this high openness, high science combination can continue, number one, and can also give what they've been promising for the last hundred years.
All right.
Wastehouse is going to hang around.
We're going to be joined by just a moment by Abby Hornacek, the host of Fox Nations Parks.
But first, this from Chevron.
Since 1879, there people have been more than a source of energy.
They've been a source of progress, helping deliver record U.S. energy production and fueling the breakthroughs that move America forward.
Learn more at Chevron.com slash 250.
Abby Hornacek is the host of Fox Nations Parked, and she joins us now here on Will King Country.
Hey, Abby.
Hey, Will. Good to see you.
Good to see you as well.
Before we make the transition into a few lighter topics with Abby, wait, Abby, this is Nate Freeman.
Nate Freeman's one of these guys that hits the streets and does some research behind the scenes about who's funding a lot of these socialist movements and does man on the street interviews and so forth.
And he, is this in a bar where he does this?
He asks this dude.
Is this, okay, is this dude to nobody or is he actually connected to the socialist movement in some way?
I think he's part of the dim socks.
If I recall correctly, I think he's a campaigner.
So he asks him to explain socialism.
Here you go.
I know I saw a statistic amazing for you guys.
More than half of young Americans now prefer socialism over capitalism.
So if you can look into the camera and give a 30 second elevator pitch on why socialism is better than capitalism.
Community.
Are you tired of sitting alone and being by yourself and having no one to talk to?
Being a socialist is all about community.
It's about literally sitting down and having coffee with random stranger and talking to them, talking about the game.
Hell, I have hugged more strangers in this past summer because of the Knicks game, because of the World Cup, because socialism works.
It's the watch parties that are Zoran host.
It's about the parties that we allow.
We don't have cops hogging every single site and saying, oh, you can't be here because there's too many people.
Instead of allowing people just being in their nature, a natural element of talking to other to bond over things we love and share.
So that's socialism.
I want to say I am not a socialist.
I don't like we know that.
I want to be far, far away from people.
I will not be socializing.
Is he confusing socializing with socialism?
Is it like, are those one in the same here?
I do think, yeah, you go into a bar and have a coffee.
It's halfway there.
I'm not sure that's halfway.
Yeah, you're right.
That's a hell of an elevator pitch.
Back to the populism argument, I think it's going to work.
That's going to work a little bit.
People are like, that's socialism?
Hell yeah.
I want to go to the bar and have a drink.
I love that.
Community is in communism, though, so be careful.
Oh, there we.
Well, he probably just Googled the first part of that word too.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
That is an amazing elevator pitch.
Yeah, the Knicks game, that's socialism,
hanging out talking to people.
My hope is that, you know, those people at some level,
you can probably just call your movement whatever you want.
and those people will come along.
So, you know, MAGA, I think we should let them know about MAGA,
make America great again.
I think we should also have a sub-movement that's sort of like, you know,
the have-funn, have fun party time thing.
You know, I'm just sort of spitballing here, but I think we could work with it.
How much were seats on the court side for the next team?
Next final.
Yeah, that's a great point.
A lot.
Is that socialism?
A lot.
Socialism is going, but there were people sitting together.
All of us at the next game.
did you notice he said like
no rules about this place is too full
so fire codes that would be maga
you know capacity maga
there's many people that want to go into the bar
and come into the bar as possible to be together
yeah
your vote counts just as much as that guys
I think that's something we should all know
that guys vote just as much as yours
go democracy
Maybe we need to consider the reinstitution of elitism.
Something to think about.
All right, Abby, we want to get you in on this.
This is an article from the New York Post.
Single women reveal the strange new dating deal breaker.
It's a heavy no for me.
Guys who like socialism.
If a man doesn't have his own place, if a man doesn't have his own place, I'm not dealing with him.
I'm not dealing with a man who has a roommate.
either. It's a heavy no for me because I need you to be on your own fully. I need to see it.
She insisted, whoever she is in a recent episode.
What age group are we talking? Is having a roommate a deal killer?
Well, it depends on how old you are, I think. Right? Like, if you're talking to, if you're a
Gen Z and you just graduated college and you're in the dating world and someone might want to save
money for a year by living with his parents, then I think that makes a bit more sense.
but if you're dating in your 30s
and someone has a roommate,
I think maybe at that point
it could be a little concerning.
Everyone is in a different circumstance.
You kind of, I think it's...
Sorry, go ahead.
I like this.
What is too old to have a room?
Too old to have...
Well, it depends on why they have a roommate, I think.
If they're trying to save money
when they're younger.
So, gosh, it's hard to put an age on this.
You want...
Here's what I think the crux of this is.
will is probably women.
I'm speaking for myself.
You want someone who's successful and driven.
So if they've been lazy and they've wasted their money
and they don't save and they don't have a good job,
that is a turnoff for people
because they are not driven, in my opinion.
So, yeah, I think 20, I don't know,
how old are you graduate, 21, 22?
If you're like 25, no, maybe like 26, I don't know.
This is hard.
I don't know what age.
I haven't had a roommate for.
So, okay, the reason a man has a roommate is to save on expenses. That's why you would have a roommate. And also space. I don't need, I mean, they make one bedroom apartments, I guess, and you can do that. But, you know, yeah. Also, where are you living? Is it New York? You know, if you're, the age could probably tick up higher because it's more expensive to live in New York. So if you're a bit older, let it slide. But I don't know, you should be working hard.
I had a roommate through age 25 because I went to graduate school.
So I had a roommate all through law school.
That makes sense?
So I'm 25.
And I didn't have a roommate again after that.
I also moved to a ranch in Montana and lived by myself.
But a lot of my buddies who went on to be lawyers, like in that first year or two of
being a lawyer, they continued to like split a house between two or three guys.
Well, law school is expensive.
They saved that first couple years out.
and so I would put them probably at 27 when they started getting their own place, that kind of thing.
See, the thing is you're right.
So having a roommate's about saving.
But you, if you're dating someone that you think you have a long-term future with, what you want to realize is he can support me.
Look, I mean, I understand, you know, women, careers and all that.
But that is at the base level nature of a relationship.
A woman wants to see that in a man, he can support her.
He can take care of her.
he can protect her, all those things.
And if he can't without a roommate, that suggests he can't for you.
So there is a point at which having a roommate suggests you're not ready to support a wife.
That's probably, what do you think?
Yeah, I think you hit the nail on the head with the job.
You know, your buddies were also trying to get their law degree.
Or if you're a first year lawyer or if you're in med school and, you know, you have all of this medical school debt that you have to pay off, it makes sense to have a roommate.
So then you're like, okay, I'm glad they have a roommate because they're financially responsible, right?
You also don't want to date someone who is just blowing all their money on their rent if they don't have to be.
So it really depends on the job, I think, and how driven someone is.
Like one of my best friends just went to MIT for business school, and she's an intern right now.
You know, she's 30.
She's an intern.
She is living alone.
But, you know, if she had a roommate for the summer, it would make sense because you have to pay for a business school.
Dan, you put yourself on screen.
I assume that means you have something.
Yeah, I will say.
I had a roommate until I was like probably 26.
But the thing is, we both had really good jobs.
So we were able to get a really awesome place and have our own space.
So like that income together, I lived with my buddy.
It was great.
It was fun for a little while, but we're both single.
And we got a sick place, like on the water.
It was nice.
See, circumstantial.
We'll let that one slide as well.
There's also a transition in life where you, you know, that sounds lonely.
There's a moment in your life where that sounds lonely.
I'm going to live by myself.
You know, you've never lived by yourself in your life.
You lived at home with your family.
Then you live with roommates in college.
Now, like, the idea of living by yourself sounds like,
so living with your buddies sounds fun.
Like, that's, yeah, that's part of where you're in the good time in life.
But there's a transition where it's like, I really hate that he doesn't do the dishes.
I really hate how messy he is.
And you make that transition.
You're like, I think I'm ready to do.
this on my own. I'm ready to
be on my own. I'm going to say
I met a girlfriend and then it got...
28. Not great. Yeah.
28. I think 287, 28
is a good number. I agree with that. Wade,
what do you think?
Yeah, I mean, I think I agree with
the premise of this, which is that this is kind of
the age gap discourse sort of
in disguise, which I think is fair
and always fun to talk about.
I think that the
it's that women want a sort of
safe bet and the safest
bet is if you are already self-sustaining. Then there's the other kind of decision that a woman has to make where you've got,
okay, one chief example of this is like J.D. and Ushah Vance, right? So they meet in college and she is just like,
you know, I think this guy's going somewhere. And that, like, trusting that that was going to
appreciate the value of J.D. was going to appreciate, like he's already, you know, doing better than he was.
He's headed up. She made probably the smartest bet at, you know, his price in Yale.
So I think that they're like women at some level are if they can't sort of if they're either going to have to trust their own instincts to be able to see like okay this guy is going to be the vice president or whatever
Or like this guy is already the vice president the trouble is sometimes you know usually when the guy gets to vice presidency he's already
Has somebody else so that's I'd say that that's the underlying assumption here is like it's either like you place a bet when the values already you know gone up quite a bit or you try to figure it out early and that's kind of its own has its own
struggles. Yeah. Yeah. I think women are placing bets. Yes, they're placing bets on where this guy's
going to go, basically. Yeah. It's also hard to buy a house these days now in your 20s. People used to do it
back in the day, and so now everyone's renting still. So that's the big difference in this conversation.
So people aren't buying houses yet, or depends where you live in the country, like we were saying,
but up here in New York, the Northeast, you can't buy a house at 25. It's pretty much unheard of.
What is a deal killer, Abby, for you?
You know, I like to get to know someone,
but I think the biggest thing for me is value system.
You meet a lot of people that you're like, whoa,
I did not realize that your values were so off from mine.
You meet people in New York who don't believe in a difference between right and wrong.
And it's not a, oh, like, I'm better than everyone.
There is a right and a wrong,
and I'm going to tell you what's right.
and I'm what's wrong kind of way,
it's more just like this progressive way of thinking
that as long as you're not hurting anyone,
but you know, you can do whatever drug you want,
you can do these things.
So that's a big deal to me.
I have to have someone who really aligns on my moral line.
Let's take a quick break,
but continue this conversation with Wade Stott's and Abby Hornacek here on Will King Country.
When you're a mid-sized business,
you need every competitive advantage you can get,
like an AI solution that works for you,
Not against you.
SAP Grow is built with AI embedded at its core, working across every system.
And it's ready to go from day one so you can hit the ground running.
Bring it with SAP Grow.
AI Cloud ERP for any size business.
Welcome back to Will King Country.
We're still hanging out with Wade, Stotz, and Abby Hornacek.
That does take a minute.
I don't know.
You might be able to find that out on a first date.
It seems like that does take a minute.
Well, how they treat people.
You know, you go out with some times, and you can tell.
immediately based off of how they treat people.
The waiter, you know, someone in Uber, you know, how they treat the Uber driver.
Or how they talk about their family.
That's a big one.
That's male and female, by the way.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
I actually find more women are hard on weight staff than men.
What?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I've seen guys try to be like the bravado like, oh, that order wasn't right, that kind of thing.
That's a good point.
to try to be like macho.
I don't know.
I've seen it.
I've never done it, obviously.
Take a look at this.
I don't know what game this was at,
but this is somebody who doesn't stand for the national anthem.
By the way, would that be a big red flag for you, Abby, on the value system?
Done.
I am leaving.
That would not make it.
Jail, maybe.
Jail, yeah.
You would leave the ball game?
Would you leave?
Second date, he takes you to a ball game.
He doesn't stand for the national anthem.
Are you out?
Are you out?
Well, I would still want to watch the game, so I feel like I would make him leave.
She's calling security.
Can we do this for a second?
Where is the perimeter of, what is the perimeter of proximity to the national anthem, wherein you are now?
I'm a big national anthem guy, hand over heart, right?
Amen.
Last Friday, I went to Texas Ranger game.
I was in the corridor.
I wasn't in the seats, right?
I had just gotten some food, and I was with, you know, three other guys, and we were eating our hot dogs kind of in the court, the concourse, right? That's what you call it the concourse. And the national anthem starts to play. And we stood up in the, in the concourse, and we did the whole thing, hand over heart. I would say I just watched in the concourse, this is in Texas, you got about a 50% participation rate in the concourse. A lot of people keep walking where they're going. You know what I mean? But I think that's, you're at,
You're outside. I do think you've crossed a perimeter. Inside the stadium, one, inside the seats, one thing. Inside the concourse, I judge them, but not as harshly as if they were sitting in the seats.
I'll take it a step further, Will, I think if you can hear the national anthem, you should be standing with your hand over your heart. I don't care if you're in the parking lot. I don't care if you're walking down the sidewalk to your hotel and you hear it playing somewhere and you don't know where it's coming from. You stop. And you put your hand over.
your heart. You might not see a flag somewhere.
I've done that. Every time I've heard
the National Anthem, I will stop in my tracks, and I
will put my hand over my heart, even if there's not
a flag that I can see somewhere.
I say we test it.
I say somebody sings the National Anthem right now.
See who stands.
See who covers their heart.
Wait, Abby,
do you at home, when watching a game
stand for the National Anthem?
Are you trying to get me on this one, Will?
I'm trying to find the proximity.
What's the line?
Okay.
Do you get up from the couch?
Do you get up?
You don't.
You sit on the couch and you watch the national anthem like everybody else.
And you sit there and go, look at those players.
I take a hat off at home, though.
I'll take a hat off if I'm wearing one.
I don't always stand when it plays at home, but I'm going to now, Will.
And I'm going to send you a video of me standing for that national anthem.
Because you're right, I should be standing.
So that's my point.
There is a proximity line, and the TV seems to be a breaking point, you know.
Although it's weird.
I think I would at the Super Bowl.
If the Super Bowl's on TV, I think I'm going to stand up in my living room.
It's like the more formal the occasion.
Well, this guy did not stand, and this is what a stranger did to him.
There's a young guy sitting, the older man behind.
behind him is giving him a lecture and now he slaps him in that back of the head.
He smacks him a hard.
And he stands.
Are those his buddies turning around looking at him?
No, they're on a different row.
All right, so what do we, that kid, by the way, that guy looks like he was in his 20s, early 20s.
He doesn't stand for the national anthem.
Older guy, I'm going to say 50s, late 50s, gives him an earful at first and the kid doesn't stand up.
stand up and then finally slaps him on the back of the head?
I think earful 100%.
That smack was a little too hard.
I said that this morning, it kind of feels like, you know,
the old school grandparents, when you put your elbows on the table when you're eating,
and they just give you a little poke with the fork, that's what it feels like.
But I do think that the message to stand for the National Anthem got lost because now everyone is just looking at the chaos happening.
and then they hate on the older guy for smacking him.
And it just defeats the whole point of the message.
That kid will never forget, though.
No.
Better he.
I don't think I would even say anything, to be honest.
I don't think I would say anything to the kid.
I would be hugely disappointed.
It's a learning.
But like the guy.
He doesn't know.
He doesn't know better.
Someone never taught him.
You know, you got to be like, hey, kid.
I mean, if somebody is with me in my party,
like my kids or something, and they don't take their hat off, I would definitely be, hey, hey, you know, get your hat off.
But I don't know I could do that to a stranger.
Yeah.
Would you do a sort of like play acting thing where you tell, like if you had your kids with you, you tell one of them to sit down so you can say, hey, buddy, we always stand for the National Anthem.
And then the guys, oh, I guess I should do that.
Would you do that sort of thing?
No.
No.
Okay.
All right.
I say this guy's a patriot.
Would you smack him wait?
I wouldn't.
And I think that that's on me.
I think that I think this guy is my moral superior for smack in the guy.
I think, you know, and also it creates a sort of risk, risk reward calculus in this guy's,
in his neighbor's mind because he's got to sit there for three hours.
But like with this guy directly behind him, like if he stands for the second half of the national anthem,
then this guy's not going to be in his ear the whole game.
And you have to be sure he doesn't have a disability.
some degree because that is a thing
to be sitting in front of you and you're like,
oh, come on. That's a curb your enthusiasm moment.
You know what I'm saying? Yeah, it's like, get up, I can't.
Yeah, we all know that people
in wheelchairs don't have to stand for, you. Come on, man.
All right, bring Patrick back for this
last topic because he has to set
it up. Right now he's panicking. He's like, I have
no idea what I'm supposed to do. But this is
such a Patrick topic.
So, the great French
fried debate. Where is this debate taking
place? Why is this a debate?
Oh, it's taking place online.
And Will Arnett of Batman Lego fame is set it up.
So this is what started it at all.
So here's a clip.
But when it comes to the fries, I want to be clear.
If you serve me what they call shoestring fries,
I was going to ask earlier.
We have a fucking problem.
Yeah.
We have a, those aren't fries, hey, all.
Okay, what you're serving me is a bunch of BS.
Okay.
Does not like shoestring fries.
So shoestring fries are the kinds that you get at places like steak and shake or Freddy's.
They're also allegedly called matchstick fries, but I don't think those are the same things, to be honest.
To me, shoe string are a little longer, but, you know, they're very contested.
I don't hate the shoestring fry.
I don't choose it.
It's not my top five fry, but I don't feel like Will Arnett about the shoestring fry.
I like shoestring fries.
I think they're better than waffle fries.
Is that crazy?
I know.
I'm so sorry.
Waffle fries are trash.
They are trash.
They are not trash.
That is the weirdest taste.
The best waffle fries are like when you get them out two minutes out of the fryer and you eat them really, really hot.
because otherwise they just go south really fast.
Yeah.
Agreed.
I feel like I'm eating egos, but there's no butter on them.
It's a problem.
What a connoisseur Patrick is.
Patrick, let me guess.
You're way out on what this chart is calling,
is it rustic fries?
This is where there's still a little skin on them.
Are you out on that?
Potato tornado.
It depends on how fat they are.
I don't like big fat fries.
Potato wedges are the best.
What are you talking about?
Wedges are different.
Potato wedges are good because they have a coating to them.
But like the steak fries, not a fan of the steak fries.
Like the ones you get someplace like the loop.
That's where I draw my line.
I think potato wedges are gross.
Wedges are great.
Curly fries are probably up there, probably one.
Oh.
Curly fries are last for me.
Oh, no.
Are we going to fight?
Oh, no, it's okay.
I'll take a waffle fry over a curly fry.
Wow.
Okay.
I think the issue is like what can retain its sort of texture the longest.
Because, you know, if it can go in a bag for a little bit and make it through.
It's what can hold sauce the best.
That's the metric.
Ooh, that's interesting.
For all fries.
That's pretty good.
We're going ketchup.
Every time.
It's how it can hold it, how much it holds for a bite.
That's the only metric.
How much?
Do you like a lot of ketchup on a fry?
Yeah.
Each dip's got to have some substantial amount of ketchup.
Let's go.
You're a ketchup guy again?
Hmm.
What do you mean?
Everybody's a ketchup person on their fries.
What do you want to be putting on your fry?
Mayo?
ketchup.
Cetchup isn't inferior to like a barbecue sauce.
Barbecue sauce is a better version of ketchup.
That's for chicken and meat.
I actually think barbecue sauce is awful.
Ketchup is trash.
I don't like barbecue sauce on almost anything.
Nothing.
Actually, I can confirm this because when we did ride to work, Will, we went and got barbecue
at Terry Blacks, you didn't even touch the barbecue sauce.
What? No.
No.
What meat did you have with no sauce?
We got everything.
You've done your barbecue.
You've done your barbecue wrong if it requires sauce.
You've done it wrong.
It's more about the smoking process.
I will use sauce.
I will use sauce because some people do do it wrong.
I will grant you there are times when it needs it.
But that's an unfortunate series of events that has led to the meeting of barbecue sauce.
So when you're, when you're,
desperate when the situation calls for it. That makes sense. Right. That means it's too dry,
too flavorless. That's what's going on. You have dry rub, you smoke it, it's juicy,
you don't overcook it, and you would not ever need a sauce whatsoever. However, however, for a fry,
you have a perfect fry, you're going to go for the ketchup. Absolutely. Okay. The only alternative
would be like a Chick-fil-A sauce. Those sauces are so good, you could put them on anything.
You know, all of those cane sauce, chic-fil-A sauce.
Anti-American.
Ranch is gross, too.
Ranch is literally American.
It's the most American-American-con American get.
It's gross.
He also pulled for the left-wing Spain in the World Cup, so we know where you're headed.
Did you see that as a political proxy, Spain versus Argentina?
Argentina's right-wing, Spain's left-wing, so you went Argentina?
Yeah.
Of course.
That's why he did that.
You could just dress up as Francisco Franco.
Yeah.
That's what I told him, going back how far?
What are we supposed to do here?
Come on.
I mean, someone's sure he died in 1975.
I'll tell you, is this controversial?
I enjoy the crinkle cut fry.
I like it.
Absolutely.
That's one B for me.
Where are you getting a crinkle cut fry from, though?
Because the kind that you get at the store that's already in a frozen bag, they
They never get, they're too soggy.
Shake shack is good.
Shake shack is crinkle cut, yes.
At a, Brahms crinkle cut is very good.
Various national parks.
Yes, thank you.
You're at Zaxpies.
Okay.
No.
We're raising canes, I think.
They're the more old school fry, I feel like.
Wade's right about Brahms.
If you haven't been to a Brahms for their crinkle cut fries, awesome.
Get the shake, do the whole thing.
Yeah.
But the classic is the best one.
That's the one, I mean, you just can't be...
Honestly, McDonald's.
McDonald's, classic french fries is about as good as he gets.
McDonald's, they're very salty.
The more salt, the better companies the ketchup.
They put sugar on it, too.
Don't they put sugar on them?
That's interesting.
You would think that at some point we would have developed
some kind of fried transportation technology
that doesn't immediately make them soggy.
I think that if every time they made a burger
for you and they just like dropped it in a bucket of water and then handed it to you and you had to
get it out real fast so it still tasted good i think somebody would try to stop that problem but the
fry surely the fry problem is something that somebody some scientist somewhere we've got
scientists working on all sorts of crazy problems i don't i think i think you don't
do you like okay that well i don't like what i don't like this the solution is going to give me cancer
for sure for sure what if it is what if the process is overseen by rfk junior rfk junior is
over the shoulder of these guys with their beakers.
And then by the end, every fry is, you know, crunchy and nice.
That's what I think I'm sorry.
I want it to happen.
Okay.
So George Foreman was creating, you know, he had his grill that was a really terrible grill.
Well, he also developed this technology that was like a friar, and it would spin all the
grease out of it.
And so I wonder, like, if you were able to take and extract all the grease from the fry,
if it would hold better long term.
But would it taste as good without all that grease?
That's a good point.
Extract the grease from the fry.
I mean, come on.
Extract the joy from the light.
Figure this out.
This, according to Food Republic, has all the fries ranked.
It has waffle fries one.
What?
Wow.
Belgian fries two, which are a little thicker.
Yeah, it doesn't count.
Yeah, tater tots are in here coming number three,
which I love a tater tot.
But that doesn't count as a French fry.
It's not a fry.
about potato products. We're talking about French fries.
What potato tornado?
It's French fries ranked.
That comes in number 17.
Number 17.
At least it's low.
Standard cut fries, number four, garlic fries five, and curly fries six.
And I'll say this is a separate kind of fry.
I know.
I don't understand either.
It's just a sauce.
With cheese on it, it's a different product.
Well, cheese fries are nine, and chili cheese fries are like, what, 15, 14?
It's like, is chili that bad on a frying?
Oh, boy.
I'm a fan of sweet potato fries.
They come in at number 12.
I do, at times, choose the sweet potato fry over the traditional fry.
Am I?
Absolutely not.
Yeah, it's just raw.
Sweet potato fry should not exist.
No, I think they taste good.
Talk about soggy.
They mold together.
And there's one big globular thing.
I think sweet potato fries are pretentious.
I think it's pretentious.
I think you have to, like, eat it.
it with a pinky up.
Each fry like this.
Ah, yes.
Like you drink craft beer if you have sweet potato fries.
Sweet potato.
You have to say every tea really hard.
They taste good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.
Dip them in barbecue sauce, won't you?
