Avilia Chavelier: Seize the Means of Production (Her Dad's Landlord)

At 53:50 · chapter starts 52:10

The Chavelier segment combines policy critique with classic Alinsky-style rule application: make them live by their own rules. Chavelier ran on a platform of seizing the means of production, abolishing police, prisons, and borders — and unlike most socialist politicians, she appears to know exactly what those phrases mean. Bongino explains the term clearly for listeners: a family-owned calculator factory in Tuscaloosa is a means of production. Seize means to take it. No compensation. That is what she is proposing. Then comes the New York Post reveal: her father is a landlord renting his Miami condo for $1,750 a month. Bongino asks directly: is she planning to seize that means of production? Of course not. Just like Bernie, she is full of it. He calls her a fraud who has never held a real job but wants to control the economic lives of millions.

#2535 - Andrew Wilson · Aug 5, 2026 News

The microphone-bomb theory fails on every physical front: no smoke, no ignition, mic on the wrong side of the wound. And the .30-06 rifle round used is extensively documented by the US Army — it does not always produce a through-and-through wound. Wilson argues this is a well-studied projectile with well-understood behavior.

#2535 - Andrew Wilson · Aug 5, 2026 News

Joe Rogan and Andrew Wilson watch a bystander video of the Corey Ruiz police shooting in Madison, Wisconsin live on air.
