Together, they unpack why Trump's escalation-first diplomacy, the same playbook that worked in New York real estate and U.S. politics, is struggling to translate on the world stage. When you publicly belittle the leaders you need on your side, you don't get compliance — you get countries making decisions against their own interests just to avoid looking weak. And while that's happening, China is playing a completely different game: quiet, steady, and increasingly looking like the rational actor the world wants to trust. From the Molotov cocktail thrown at Sam Altman's San Francisco home, to the city councilman who had 13 bullets fired into his front door after voting for a data center, to a warehouse worker who burned 1.2 million square feet of Amazon infrastructure to the ground — Tom examines what's driving the rage, why so many ordinary Americans are sympathizing with the perpetrators, and why the anger, while completely justified, is being aimed at the wrong target.

0:00.0	When you look at all the violence that we're seeing, in the last two weeks, someone threw a
0:03.8	Molotov cocktail at Sam Altman's San Francisco home.
0:06.7	Hey, I's bull's shit.
0:08.8	Days later, two more people were arrested near his house after shots were fired in the neighborhood.
0:13.7	An Indianapolis City Council man who voted for a data center had 13 bullets fired into his front
0:20.4	door.
0:22.3	A note was left on the porch that said no, data centers. And before all of that, a 29-year-old worker, warehouse worker named
0:28.6	Kamal Abdul Karim burned a 1.2 million square foot distribution center to the ground and then
0:35.5	uploaded a video of himself saying that if they were just paying a living wage that the warehouse went to burn down.
0:42.3	All you had to do was pay us enough to fucking live.
0:45.3	Now, nobody knows if all of these incidents are actually connected, but there is a crazy pattern that is starting to be very difficult to ignore. Luigi Mangione, who shot the health insurance CEO in Cold Blood on the Manhattan sidewalk.
1:00.0	His legal defense fund has raised nearly a million dollars from 30,000 donors.
1:05.0	The guy that burned down the warehouse said that he saw parallels between himself and Mangione.
1:11.6	Roughly half of American college students sympathize with Mangione more than the man that he killed.
1:16.6	Social media says that we're watching the beginning of a class uprising and these kind of things have happened historically.
1:23.6	If you guys know, part of why Teddy Roosevelt ended up on Mount Rushmore was he was the guy that saw us through the sort of last round of all of this stuff.
1:32.0	And the thing that worries me is the arguments that are being put forward right now are to rerun what we did with Teddy Roosevelt.
1:42.2	People are putting forward yesterday's solution to a totally different
1:45.9	problem today. And the truth is that the anger that people feel is completely justified, completely
1:52.3	justified. The system is rigged. It is rigged against you. It is as problematic as people think. Since
1:58.0	1979, American worker productivity grew by 80.9% while wages only grew by
2:03.7	29.4%. The top 1% now hold as much wealth as the bottom 90% combined. For six straight years
