Spencer Pratt said what a lot of us are thinking: if you hate America that much, go back to Mogadishu and try building something there. Elon builds rockets that land themselves and companies that actually function. Ilhan builds resentment and calls the country that took her in one of the worst on earth. One of them creates real things. The other creates grievances. What kind of American do you want in this country? A giver or taker? One who creates? Or one who complains? We don’t need this hostility and ungratefulness from foreigners. Go home!

My dear American friends, I've shown you where the disease came from and who sells it. Now I want you to look at this email. January 5, 2020, 2:44 in the morning. Peter Thiel writes to Mark Zuckerberg, Nick Clegg, Sheryl Sandberg and Marc Andreessen. It became public years later, in a lawsuit between the state of Tennessee and Meta. The subject line is one word: Millennials. Thiel starts from a number: 70% of Millennials say they are pro-socialist. Read that again. Seven out of ten young adults in the richest, freest, most innovative country in human history say they want the system that ruined every country that tried it. And Thiel, one of the sharpest minds in Silicon Valley, says something important. Don't just dismiss them as stupid or brainwashed. Understand why. His answer: when you're crushed by student debt and housing is unaffordable, you have no capital and no way to build any. And if you have no stake in capitalism, you turn against it. He's right. But follow the thread one step further, because that's where it gets interesting. Who made college unaffordable? Washington flooded universities with easy federal loans, and universities raised their prices year after year, because they could. The same universities that then taught those students, for four years, that capitalism is the problem. Who made housing unaffordable? Zoning rules, permits, environmental reviews, endless regulation that makes it nearly illegal to build. Remember Piketty's famous rise of capital? It was mostly housing. Scarcity created by the state. So here's the full picture. The state creates the scarcity. The universities teach that capitalism caused it. The politicians sell socialism as the cure. The arsonist is selling fire insurance. That's why 70% is not a natural opinion. No generation wakes up one morning wanting central planning. It takes decades of teaching, a captured culture, and an economy rigged to give young people no stake in it. In a healthy country, that number would trigger a serious public investigation into what American universities have been teaching for fifty years. This is not a debate. It's the result of a long, patient operation, exactly the war of position Gramsci described from his prison cell. Now let me tell you what history says happens when an ideology captures a generation and turns it against everything that came before. China, 1966. Mao unleashes the Cultural Revolution and hands it to the youth. Students become Red Guards. Their mission: destroy the "Four Olds," old customs, old culture, old habits, old ideas. Temples, books, art, centuries of history, smashed. In August 1966, at a girls' school in Beijing, students beat their vice principal, Bian Zhongyun, to death. She was one of the first. Teachers across the country were humiliated, tortured, killed by the children they had taught. In 1970, a 16-year-old boy named Zhang Hongbing denounced his own mother for criticizing Mao. She was executed. He spent the rest of his life trying to apologize for it. Children were taught that loyalty to the Party came before loyalty to their parents. Historians estimate the Cultural Revolution killed somewhere between hundreds of thousands and millions of people. The Soviet Union did it first. It turned a boy named Pavlik Morozov into a national hero for denouncing his father. Generations of Soviet children were raised on his story. Cambodia, 1975. The Khmer Rouge declare Year Zero. Teenagers with rifles empty the cities. Wearing glasses was enough to mark you as an intellectual. In four years, roughly a quarter of the population was dead. Every time, the same pattern. Take the young. Teach them that the past is guilty. Teach them that their parents, their teachers, their history are the enemy. Then give them power. So when you see statues pulled down, words banned, books rewritten, and parents treated as obstacles in their own children's schools, understand what you're looking at. It's not the end of the story. It's the opening act. It always starts with the young, and it always starts with good intentions. If the West ever gets its Marxist youth revolution, it won't end in Scandinavia. It will end the way it has ended every single time it was tried for real. And we will have learned nothing. Thiel saw the number. I'm telling you where it leads. The answer is not to hate the young. It's to give them back a stake in the system. Let them build. Let them buy a home. Make college worth its price or skip it. Let them start companies instead of drowning in debt. A generation that owns something defends it. A generation that owns nothing will burn it down. I come from your future. Don't let your children write the next chapter of this story.

I need someone to explain to me how one President found two men like this at the same time — because I have been thinking about Trump, JD Vance, and Marco Rubio together all morning and something about that combination genuinely does not make sense to me in the most beautiful way possible — because look at where each of these three men came from — Trump, a man who had everything this world considers worth having and walked away from all of it to sit at the most demanding desk on earth — JD Vance, a boy whose father left, who was raised by a grandmother who refused to give up on him, who joined the Marines because it was the only way to afford an education, who went from zero to Vice President of the United States — and Marco Rubio, whose father stood behind a bar every single night of his life and whose mother worked three jobs simultaneously just so their son could have a chance — three men, three completely different journeys, three completely different versions of the American story — and yet somehow they ended up in the same room, at the same table, fighting for the same country — and what I cannot get out of my head is that image from the King Charles ceremony, Trump at that podium, Rubio sitting right there in the front, JD and Usha beside each other a few rows back — all three of them present, all three of them carrying everything this week had been, all three of them showing up anyway — and I thought to myself — this is not a coincidence — this is God placing the right people in the right place at exactly the right moment in American history — and today I am grateful for all three of them in a way I genuinely cannot put into words. 🙏❤️🇺🇲 God, please protect these three men and their families. America is lucky to have all three of them at the same time. If this combination of Trump, JD Vance, and Marco Rubio gives you confidence in America’s future… tell me what that means to you today.
