The Colorado segment is Bongino's geographical broadside. He told listeners the previous week that the communist takeover was spreading into purple states, and Quiroz's congressional primary win in Colorado is his proof. She supports free pre-K and college funded by taxing millionaires, and argues that existing public infrastructure — roads, fire stations — already constitutes socialism. Bongino methodically corrects her: government spending on services is not socialism. Socialism is government ownership and control of the means of production — factories, businesses, housing. Spending tax revenue on a road does not make the asphalt company state-owned. He calls the conflation 'impressionable-stupid logic' and warns that people actually believe this reasoning because they see a well-maintained road and conclude the government economic model that paid for it must be correct.
Tens of millions of people have risked their lives crossing borders to reach the American free market. Zero Americans are boarding boats to escape to Cuba, Venezuela, or Russia. If socialism is so great, why does the traffic only flow one direction?
This isn't just a blue-state problem. A self-declared socialist, Quiroz, just won a Democratic congressional primary in Colorado for a U.S. House seat, arguing that roads and fire stations prove we already have socialism. Bongino's rebuttal: government spending is not socialism — government control of production is.
