00:00:00.360 You can steal $950 worth of items from a Walgreens in New York, and they can't call the police.
00:00:07.900 Like, you can just steal—I was—that's why I left New York.
00:00:10.460 I was just waiting in line like a bot, and everyone's like, just, okay, here's my cough syrup.
00:00:14.880 And then someone—I thought that he was working at the Walgreens.
00:00:17.600 He has all these crates, and he's just putting all the beer into the crates.
00:00:21.380 And I'm like, oh, he works there. Like, oh, good, employee.
00:00:24.100 And then he takes it, and it's like, where is he pushing this?
00:00:25.880 And he just walks out the door.
00:00:27.740 And security's standing there, like, okay.
00:00:30.100 And I'm like, holding my stuff.
00:00:33.400 I'm such a bot. I'm like, should I steal, too?
00:00:36.260 But I didn't, but—and I asked the cashier, like, why don't you do anything?
00:00:39.800 It's like, it's under $950. We can't call the police.
00:00:43.560 Why?
00:00:44.280 So you can just steal, and you're not a criminal.
00:00:49.260 There's no way that this is going to end up well.
00:00:51.820 Or we just tolerate it, and we allow this to happen.
00:00:54.160 But you see that, and you're like, why am I here?
00:00:56.540 Or you were asking me about Japan.
00:00:58.740 Japan is a place where you don't even litter.
00:01:01.280 You don't even want to play music on the train.
00:01:03.100 You don't want to, like, disrupt other people.
00:01:05.000 You don't—like, I noticed my, like, my pants were sagging a little bit by accident.
00:01:08.000 I'd pull them up because, like, I didn't want to upset the grandma near here.
00:01:11.040 I have tattoos on my arms, and I would cover them because I don't want to—
00:01:14.040 Even tattoos is degenerate in Japan.
00:01:16.000 You don't want to contribute to any of that.
00:01:17.280 You want to contribute to the peace and to how everybody is—everybody's respectful.
00:01:22.340 Everybody wants you to enjoy life as well.
00:01:27.300 There's no polarization in Japan.
00:01:29.240 There's none of that, like, people looking at each other weird, mean mugging each other.
00:01:32.220 But after seeing what's possible outside, I don't understand, like, why you would invest more time into being in these places.
00:01:41.540 It's hard.
00:01:42.180 I just miss my family, and my family's in Chicago.
00:01:46.480 I don't know.
00:01:47.380 It's possible I could move somewhere else, but it's like, what, I would go to, what, Dubai or something, and now I'm up 20 hours from my family.
00:01:56.400 Right.
00:01:57.500 How do you—like, where do you go when—it's like you're starting over in a brand new place knowing nobody, and it's hard because I have nine siblings, and I'm just close with them.
00:02:08.540 I'll make a lot of money, move them all out.
00:02:10.580 Get them all out of there.
00:02:11.500 Oh, gosh, maybe.
00:02:12.740 I'll try.
00:02:14.060 Do you want to hear my—so you're getting in trouble for the repeal of the 19th.
00:02:17.560 Do you want to hear my—
00:02:18.420 Your most controversial.
00:02:19.460 My new controversial take.
00:02:21.120 Okay.
00:02:21.340 Okay, Dubai works because there is Arab supremacy.
00:02:32.540 And that's the one thing.
00:02:34.380 Like, I grew up with, like, nannies from around the world, and, like, Americans have this lack of respect for other cultures where they don't feel like they need to immigrate, like, into the culture.
00:02:46.740 Assembly.
00:02:47.220 Or, sorry, assimilate, yeah, into the culture.
00:02:49.920 So if they go somewhere, they feel like the culture should appease them.
00:02:53.460 Right.
00:02:53.580 When it's like, no, you're—like, when I went to—I can't remember where it was, Hyderabad, maybe, or something.
00:02:59.400 I just remember somewhere I had to wear the—to go in the temple.
00:03:02.240 Like, people would say that's misogynistic or sexist or whatever, but it's like—
00:03:05.880 It's just respectful of the culture.
00:03:07.020 You're going to their culture.
00:03:08.580 So respect it.
00:03:09.180 Yeah, everybody in America, when you—these westernized societies, everyone's like, they're not proud of the place.
00:03:16.200 People aren't proud of being American.
00:03:18.440 There's no—the only people who are proud of being American are MAGA people, are the Trump supporters.
00:03:22.360 Like, they love the country.
00:03:23.320 That's why I like Trump, is he loves America.
00:03:25.060 I'm like—I come from an immigrant family, too, but I respect that he loves his country.
00:03:29.320 Most of the people—all the people in the West, in New York, in Chicago, L.A., they hate America.
00:03:33.680 Genuinely.
00:03:34.040 They think that waving the American flag is like, these are the colonizers, this is racist, and it's a symbol of slavery.
00:03:41.420 It's almost become the new Confederate flag, the American flag.
00:03:44.820 Everybody latches on so hard, this is an American thing.
00:03:48.080 Like, I'm 12% Irish, so St. Patrick's Day, let's—I'm—kiss me if I'm—you're not Irish.
00:03:54.980 Five generations of your family have been in America.
00:03:57.460 You are American now.
00:03:58.860 Any other place, you would just be of that country.
00:04:01.560 But no, everybody—identity politics has been ingrained so hard into the West that they feel the need to latch on to something else.
00:04:08.320 Because it's not cool in woke culture.
00:04:11.260 It's not cool to be American.
00:04:12.860 It's seen as—they hate capitalism.
00:04:14.400 They think communism is good.
00:04:15.760 They latch on to—and so when you lose the identity of a place, I don't think it's worth living in.
00:04:20.400 If there is no—like, no one—you can't really describe American culture now.
00:04:26.120 What is it?
00:04:27.240 That's so true.
00:04:27.940 Because everywhere—so if you go to California, it's very different from, like, Nebraska to Florida to New York.
00:04:34.480 What do you think the future of America is?
00:04:37.360 Like, what happens if I move to Chicago?
00:04:39.420 What's going to—
00:04:39.960 I think you might—it's just—have you seen the videos of the—
00:04:44.300 Well, I live in the suburbs.
00:04:45.680 So I live, like—like, my parents live on 40 acres outside the city.
00:04:49.460 So it's not—
00:04:50.140 Well, I like cities.
00:04:50.880 I like busy.
00:04:51.520 I like being around people.
00:04:52.560 I like people.
00:04:53.160 But I just, like, look at—Chicago is a dump.
00:04:56.480 It's complete—they just elected, like, a new communist governor in Illinois.
00:05:01.560 Or maybe the new mayor of Chicago is just a straight-up communist.
00:05:04.440 They are—they're so brainwashed by racism and wokeness and how, like, it's okay if you steal.
00:05:13.040 They're upset.
00:05:13.880 That's why they're rioting.
00:05:14.920 You need to understand the system of—
00:05:16.520 They are burning cars in the middle of the street.
00:05:19.400 They've blocked down streets, and they're lighting cars on fire.
00:05:21.720 And you're going to say it's because they're displaced that this is justified.
00:05:25.240 Is that what they said?
00:05:26.480 They can't just say that this is degenerate behavior.
00:05:28.740 Like, this—they won't incriminate these people because they are programmed to think that it's racist to even criticize them.
00:05:35.960 My prediction for the future of America, it's rapidly declining.
00:05:39.920 It's going to exist.
00:05:40.720 But I think soon it's not going to be the world power that it was.
00:05:45.340 And America has pretty much been the world's police for a long time.
00:05:49.560 And when you lose that grip on the world—like, they just reduced the military requirements because people were too fat.
00:05:57.440 We're so fat that they needed to make it easier to get in.
00:06:01.020 They had a curve for your weight.
00:06:02.980 You know when the teacher curves the score because everyone failed?
00:06:05.360 That's how bad we are with our fitness.
00:06:07.400 Our military—and then you look at, like, they're training kids in China, like, at 10 years old.
00:06:12.040 They're getting ready for war.
00:06:13.240 In Russia, they don't have the same fat problem.
00:06:15.440 We don't have—the thing is specifically in the West.
00:06:19.200 It's a big problem.
00:06:19.960 It's a problem.
00:06:20.800 It's a big problem.
00:06:21.940 The obesity problem, the homelessness is going up.
00:06:25.540 More kids are on pharmaceutical drugs.
00:06:28.760 I was on them.
00:06:29.480 When people are—I don't see a bright future for America, unfortunately.
00:06:34.260 And I do love America.
00:06:35.700 Like, whatever is left of it, some of that culture.
00:06:39.080 I love the people that love America, but you have to put yourself first at some point.
00:06:43.620 You know, I believe in America first, but I also believe in family first before that.
00:06:47.760 So I wouldn't raise my family there, hopefully.
00:06:49.620 So where are you moving?
00:06:51.040 I like—Florida is, like, the last state, I think.
00:06:55.100 I like—
00:06:55.600 Oh, so—so—okay, wait.
00:06:57.000 Okay, but let me explain.
00:06:58.520 Let me explain.
00:06:59.200 Let me explain.
00:07:00.060 Florida right now.
00:07:01.820 Florida right now is the last—
00:07:04.180 Leave America except Florida.
00:07:05.440 I didn't even finish.
00:07:06.140 I didn't finish.
00:07:07.140 Right now, Florida's okay because it's separated from that.
00:07:09.520 It's still good weather.
00:07:11.320 They're signing some good laws.
00:07:12.580 But eventually, it's not going to be a place long, long term.
00:07:15.500 It's good for the next 10, 15 years, 20 years, something like that.
00:07:18.340 Eventually—I don't know.
00:07:18.980 That's why I'm traveling the world because I want to go and see where it's worth setting up.
00:07:22.960 Tell me about your conversion.
00:07:24.420 I think that's the winning team.
00:07:25.620 I mean, Ramadan is almost over, but—
00:07:28.260 I don't even—I'm going to be honest.
00:07:29.360 I know very little, so I don't even know what Ramadan is.
00:07:32.060 I've heard than ever.
00:07:32.600 It's about a month of fasting, and you have to be an extra good Muslim.
00:07:36.800 You have to—it's mostly fasting, and then some people that you pray more, you make sure to not drink.
00:07:42.580 Or it just—all the same rules about—are extra strict during Ramadan.
00:07:46.160 Oh.
00:07:46.820 It's an extra connection to Allah.
00:07:49.160 Yeah, I would say it's similar to Lent.
00:07:50.420 Okay.
00:07:50.680 But I didn't—I mean, like, right now, I'm not sure what the time is.
00:07:54.260 You can eat and—you can break fast while you're traveling, but I wasn't perfect.
00:07:58.640 I wasn't perfect.
00:07:59.720 Okay.
00:07:59.920 So when did you convert and why?
00:08:03.220 I converted in Dubai.
00:08:05.600 I mean, I guess it was like a soft conversion, but I did say the words.
00:08:09.040 All you have to do to convert to Islam is say,
00:08:11.820 Muhammad is the prophet and Allah is the one true God, and then that's it.
00:08:16.960 In other religions, there's all this stuff.
00:08:18.600 You need years of all this.
00:08:19.400 I said that, I went to the mosque, I prayed.
00:08:22.360 Shout out to the sartorial shooter.
00:08:24.040 He brought me to the mosque.
00:08:24.920 Do they not believe in Jesus?
00:08:27.200 No.
00:08:27.540 I'm sorry if these are dumb questions.
00:08:28.640 No, they're not dumb questions.
00:08:29.600 It's good to ask these.
00:08:30.680 They do believe in Jesus.
00:08:32.260 It's actually—Islam and Christianity have a lot in common.
00:08:34.780 I would say the major difference, and what I think is kind of weird—you grew up Catholic?
00:08:39.320 There's some weird stuff in Catholicism.
00:08:41.360 No disrespect, but the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit.
00:08:44.380 What the hell is the Holy Spirit?
00:08:45.700 What is that?
00:08:46.780 We do the sign of the cross all the time.
00:08:48.020 What's the Holy Spirit?
00:08:48.740 And then you go up, and you take your first communion, and you're eating the body of Christ
00:08:52.100 in a cracker.
00:08:53.840 So is this cannibalism?
00:08:56.080 Why am I eating a cracker?
00:08:57.540 What part of the body of Jesus is this?
00:08:59.840 Is this the toe part of Jesus am I eating?
00:09:02.120 Is it the butt?
00:09:02.980 Like, I'm just—it's his body.
00:09:04.420 You're drinking—and then kids are drinking wine.
00:09:07.220 Kids are getting drunk.
00:09:08.440 No, no, it doesn't actually—
00:09:09.800 It's the blood.
00:09:10.580 It's wine.
00:09:11.740 Yeah.
00:09:11.960 Why are we giving kids alcohol?
00:09:13.660 Okay, I don't—
00:09:14.340 And you're drinking Jesus' blood?
00:09:15.580 Yeah, but it's just a sip.
00:09:17.300 It's a little—you're not.
00:09:18.420 I'm just—it's a little s**tanic to be drinking a dude's blood, right?
00:09:22.080 Yeah, no.
00:09:23.080 But it's Jesus' blood.
00:09:24.040 I don't know.
00:09:24.400 It's just a little weird to me.
00:09:25.600 But I'm not trying to be disrespectful to Catholicism.
00:09:27.420 As many of you know, I was just banned on TikTok, and we are demonetized on a daily basis on
00:09:34.260 this platform.
