Speaker 1: We have a voicemail number. That number is two one nine two. David, P.. This is so funny,
guys. You know how I sometimes tell you there is a contingent of the left. I use the term
revolutionary leftist or Stalinist Leninist leftists. Some of you prefer more pejorative
terms like tanky. I just I don't. I don't. It's not a term that I use.
And I pointed out last week something that to most of you, is now uncontroversial. There are leftists
who play coy with and defend and sometimes straight up support. In the case of Maduro
in Venezuela, these revolutionary authoritarian type figures that claim to be left but are really
failures of leftism anyway. A caller. Really didn't like that. He says it doesn't exist,
is furious with me. Take a listen to this. Speaker 6: Did I just hear you correctly to say
that some people on the left are in favor of totalitarian regimes, are you?
Speaker 2: They won't call Speaker 1: them totalitarian regimes,
but in the interests of claiming to be for socialism or against American imperialism,
they will end up supporting those very things Speaker 2: for
Speaker 6: real David. Yeah, no, that's strong. You're a hundred and ten percent wrong.
That makes no sense at all what some people on the left like me
are against fighting with Russia because we don't like our imperialistic attitude.
Speaker 1: That's a different issue. And as I've said it, I literally addressed this. You can't
just say I'm against American imperialism. So we want to just say whatever Putin is doing is fine.
You can condemn something Putin does while saying, I don't want the U.S. involved. For example,
you can condemn the insanity of the Chavez Maduro regimes in Venezuela while saying,
I don't want the US picking a leader. I don't want the U.S. pushing regime change,
u. I don't. These folks get so triggered by this Speaker 6: U.S. imperialistic attitude.
That part that you said was correct, but not people on the left are in favor
of totalitarian regimes. That makes no sense. Speaker 1: Again, they would deny that they are
a threat. And by the way, I did the other things I didn't say totalitarian. I said authoritarian.
So it's like, this is this is the perfect example of someone denying reality and misstating
my position. But you know, it's I'm used to it by now.
Speaker 6: They're not. They're not leftists. If they are, are people on the right?
Only right will be in favor of that. Speaker 1:
That's actually a really good point. I believe that a lot of these
so-called leftists who say Speaker 2: Putin's not bad and
Bashar al-Assad's not bad and Speaker 1: Maduro is not bad, and Castro
was fine. And I that's my position is they're not really on the left. They insist that they are,
but I would actually agree inadvertently with the caller. I don't think those folks are actually
leftists anyway. That's a perfect example of what I've been telling you guys about. We've got a
