Topic: Self Government

Chase Geiser reflects on the business optimism in Orange County during the Trump presidency compared to the current "zeitgeist of hopelessness."

Owen Shroyer joins the discussion, comparing the decline of globalist systems to the shifting public perception of Airbnb, where initial convenience has been replaced by high fees and poor service.

Shroyer warns that the globalist "pipe dream" of a communist utopia requires the death of billions of people.
