asked. But you know people don't want to cause trouble. So I asked one of the staff members I knew well, can I do something about this for you? Could I talk to somebody? Because they would listen to the members of the gym before they would listen to the staff. Unfortunately. And then you start seeing the pattern. And the pattern is truly troubling. And the pattern is that the freedoms are coming…
← Previous segment →e power within the Democrat base is to get wiped out. Is to just have all the Democrats just get wiped off the map in 2022.
And it looks like that's what's lining up to happen now. Anything could happen right? I'm not sure I would even make it a prediction at this point because you know there will be scandals and surprises and God knows what between now and then. We didn't see the pandemic coming either. So predicting is a hard business. But it's this weird situation where the only thing that can save the standard Democrats is Trump or somebody who has a Trump-like approach to things. It could be DeSantis or somebody else right? It's kind of weird isn't it? But am I wrong? Am I wrong that privately Democrats are saying the only way we can get back to what we want is to get rid of the progressives? And the only way you can get rid of the progressives is to show that their ideas of defunding the police and critical race theory and some other stuff just got you slaughtered. It's the only way. There's no other way out. And that's that power thing again. You know just follow the power and the power seems to be lining up in one direction at this point.
All right. Here's a little prediction slash observation that is just fun to me. How many of you have any kind of a close relationship with either brand new or pretty recent immigrants from the southern border? Yeah just in the comments. Because I live in California so for me it's just part of the normal living environment. You're just always having contact. So some yes. Now for those of you who have close contact experience, I'm talking about people if you regularly have conversations with people whose immigration status you don't quite know, which is very common in California right? It's everyday experience.
So here's what I think about the recent immigrants. They are the most unwoke people in the United States. Am I wrong? Anybody disagree that the recent immigrants are the most unwoke in the United States? And it's not because they're exactly like Republicans or something. I'm not saying that. I'm saying they literally do not care. Let me ask you this. If I described the following person you tell me what party they're probably in. They're very religious. They believe in God. Christians. Very Christian. And they're not just religious but it's like it's really baked in. It's an important part of their life. They're big on family. Super big on family right? And work is their guiding principle. Go to work, stay out of jail, get an education. Who did I just describe? Once you see it you can't unsee it right?
All right. So what happens when all of the unwoke immigrants start getting more political power? Let's say the second generation is born. Have the Democrats accidentally gotten the short-term advantage? Because if the census counts the immigrants it might give more power to Democrat states or something. So there might be some short-term gain. But it looks to me like the Democrats have opened up the spigot to let in a lot of future conservatives. Am I wrong? Those of you who have actual direct personal contact with the immigrant community can you back me up on that? They're the least, they care the least about any of the woke stuff. I've never even seen an immigrant, let me say something that will blow your mind. In all my life in California, I've owned two restaurants right so you know that my contact has been high. I've never met any immigrant, a recent immigrant, legal or illegal it doesn't matter the status. I've never met a recent immigrant who is ever offended by anything. Anything. Have you? Has anybody had a different experience? They just don't care about any of that stuff. They just don't care. They want a job. They want to get along. They want to improve their life. But they do not get offended. I've never, I literally have never seen anybody who was a recent immigrant be offended about anything. They just want to work. They just want the tools of life. That's it. That's all they want.
All right. And I had missed I guess the significance of this story about the San Francisco school board recall where three members got recalled because I guess they were too woke. And even San Francisco which is the locus of the woke places decided that's too woke. Do you know what the subtext of the story is?

The part that might get mentioned in the sentence toward the end of the story. Do you know what they left out of the story? Who do you think was the largest energy behind getting rid of the wokeness? Probably the Asian-American community. It's reported that way. And I would also assume now and also I would imagine that would include a lot of recent citizens. You know recent immigrants, maybe secon…
