Bankas Podcast - Daniel Bordman is Famous in India ｜ The Bankas Show - #031

00:00:00.000 Mr. Trudeau, what are you going to do today?

00:00:01.920 We're here with Daniel Boardman.

00:00:15.180 Daniel Boardman is a good friend of mine, but he is also now viral in India.

00:00:21.540 That's right, everybody.

00:00:23.300 Daniel Boardman is more viral in India than the Nipah virus.

00:00:27.800 Okay, he is famous and viral in India.

00:00:34.340 We recently, today, we got a line skip out of Tim Hortons in Canada at a Circle K

00:00:41.620 because Daniel Boardman is now the largest Indian celebrity in Canada behind Russell Peters.

00:00:51.780 Daniel, welcome to the show.

00:00:53.660 How are you feeling with all of this sudden success?

00:00:59.300 We can call it success.

00:01:00.900 We can call it virality.

00:01:04.480 You're channeling this into success.

00:01:07.720 What is going on?

00:01:09.000 You are, like, if somebody were to ask you, what just happened the last two weeks,

00:01:14.000 what would you tell them?

00:01:15.000 It's been crazy.

00:01:19.200 It's just instantly blowing up and a whirlwind, and the most of this is there's a nine and a half hour time difference between India and Canada.

00:01:29.240 So, like, it's just things happen, and then every night before I go to bed, and then I wake up,

00:01:35.580 and then it's, like, primetime in India, and everything's happening, and I'm just swamped with requests.

00:01:39.360 Wait a second, wait a second.

00:01:40.180 So, you're saying that you're on primetime TV in India?

00:01:44.300 Like, you're the Wolf Blitzer of India right now. 0.97

00:01:46.120 I'm not Wolf Blitzer, but on Wolf Blitzer's show, he brings me on, right?

00:01:50.360 Do you also have Indian laryngitis right now?

00:01:52.740 Yeah, pretty much.

00:01:53.920 Like, I lost my voice by, again, I've been, rather than, I do, like, I get requests for, like, every half hour slot from different Indian TV networks just every day,

00:02:05.160 and then I fill that out, and then I try and do, like, I've been invited to a bunch of different podcasts and just doing the podcast circuit.

00:02:12.380 So, what happened, though?

00:02:13.380 How did this happen?

00:02:14.100 You, Daniel Boardman, made a tweet about the killing of a Calistani, which, if you don't know what Calistanis are,

00:02:22.740 they're like Pakistanis, but with turbans. 0.82

00:02:26.180 That's what it is, I think.

00:02:27.580 That's the dictionary definition.

00:02:29.960 So, there was a Calistani guy killed in Canada days after Trudeau got back to Canada from India.

00:02:37.840 No, no, he was killed three months ago.

00:02:40.160 Days after he got back, he expelled an Indian diplomat and basically blamed India for his murder.

00:02:46.960 He, and, or, he said there's a, he said there's a report that he has with a potential link to the Indian government,

00:02:53.860 and then he kicked the ambassador out over it before the investigation was concluded on the basis of a potential link.

00:02:59.900 The Indian ambassador has been kicked out of Canada.

00:03:02.420 No, no, no, sorry, not ambassador.

00:03:03.880 Sorry, there was one diplomat, head of a thing.

00:03:05.460 There was an Indian diplomat kicked out of Canada, and then a Canadian diplomat kicked out of India.

00:03:08.860 Sorry, I got that wrong.

00:03:09.660 Not the ambassador.

00:03:10.680 A diplomat.

00:03:11.380 And, right, and I made a tweet about it.

00:03:14.180 I was sort of, like, the handling of it was insane, and I tweeted that.

00:03:17.500 That got a bit of a virality.

00:03:18.960 But, you know, this is not the first time I've covered the Indian issue.

00:03:22.260 So, the next day, I just saw the, like, geopolitical, national, international implications of what it was.

00:03:29.460 And I'm like, I'm going to make a 101 video and just go.

00:03:33.600 So, what you're saying is you're single-handedly, like, bringing the world closer to World War III, is what you're saying.

00:03:39.420 No.

00:03:39.700 So, further away, I think, I'm trying to salvage Indian-Canadian relationships by trying to explain to both sides what the other thinks and wants,

00:03:48.220 so we can come to some sort of conclusion that doesn't end with both our countries severing ties, which is the way it's going.

00:03:53.640 With that being said, we just have breaking news right now, breaking news at The Banker Show today.

00:04:00.080 You heard it here first, probably not.

00:04:05.000 That was, sorry, that was my Uber.

00:04:06.240 You know, this is breaking news.

00:04:09.440 In India, Indian TV has threatened to nuke Canada.

00:04:14.960 Is that your phone?

00:04:17.740 Is your phone dinging?

00:04:18.680 Yeah, my phone's just dinging all the time.

00:04:22.920 So...

00:04:23.360 What do you think about that?

00:04:24.620 As the number one Canadian anchor in India.

00:04:28.880 So, the great thing about Indian TV is you don't have any... 1.00

00:04:32.140 Silence your goddamn phone, kid. 0.99

00:04:33.420 Yeah, they don't have any pre-screening. 1.00

00:04:37.340 I know.

00:04:37.880 They don't have pre-school in India?

00:04:38.980 Pre-screening.

00:04:39.600 They don't pre-screen the interviews.

00:04:41.380 So, they just invite you on, and then you come in.

00:04:43.920 Unlike in Canada, where they, like, if you're going on the CBC or Global, they'll ask you, like,

00:04:48.820 what are you going to say about this issue exactly before you say it, and then decide whether or not they'll have you on after that.

00:04:55.200 So, they don't screen you at all.

00:04:56.400 They're just like, this is Daniel Borden, and we're going to worry about England. 0.97

00:05:00.520 Yeah, so he's a crazy guy.

00:05:01.640 Probably won't get back on, but, like, because there's... 0.84

00:05:04.900 You killed it hard, and now you're the most in-demand pundit in Indian news history.

00:05:12.340 I'm not sure Indian news history, but current Indian news cycle.

00:05:15.960 Current history.

00:05:17.200 Of the history of now.

00:05:18.740 Of this week.

00:05:19.160 Of now, yes.

00:05:21.300 So, what has happened?

00:05:23.400 What has changed in your life?

00:05:24.720 Are Indian women now messaging you, trying to get an arranged marriage?

00:05:33.020 What is happening out there?

00:05:35.960 Are you getting...

00:05:36.680 Are you automatically part of Uber One?

00:05:40.720 What are the benefits of...

00:05:44.180 Wait, I just want to play this one more time.

00:05:45.420 That's the show that Borden was on yesterday, saying that they want a new Canada.

00:06:03.300 No, it's not.

00:06:04.120 It's...

00:06:04.840 Do you know what channel that is?

00:06:07.520 It's in Hindi.

00:06:09.100 Yeah, it's not English.

00:06:10.840 Yeah, it's not English.

00:06:11.480 I don't recognize it.

00:06:12.260 So, you don't do the Hindi.

00:06:13.340 You only do the English-speaking channels in India.

00:06:16.160 Yeah.

00:06:16.840 Like, because I don't speak Hindi.

00:06:19.060 I don't speak Bengali or any of the, like, other languages in India other than English.

00:06:24.180 So, people call you the Birdman.

00:06:31.640 You call me the Birdman.

00:06:33.500 And Armin.

00:06:33.940 Because you...

00:06:34.500 Armin and I call you the Birdman because you are bird-like.

00:06:37.280 But you have infiltrated India. 0.82

00:06:41.040 You are now on billboards in India, potentially.

00:06:43.960 Is this true?

00:06:44.960 I don't think I'm on any billboards yet.

00:06:46.600 No one sent that to me.

00:06:47.880 I'm on YouTube thumbnails.

00:06:50.920 Why do I keep...

00:06:51.560 Is that, like, your hinge?

00:06:52.880 No.

00:06:53.380 Hinge matches?

00:06:54.260 You're getting a bunch of Indian hinge? 1.00

00:06:57.440 Hingian? 0.76

00:06:59.520 What's Hindu hinge? 0.90

00:07:01.280 Hinge?

00:07:01.720 Oh, there's that one in the subway.

00:07:03.500 Oh, that'd be a pretty funny bit for me to go on that one.

00:07:07.180 So, are you...

00:07:09.020 Yeah, you need to silence...

00:07:09.820 Do you know how to silence your phone?

00:07:11.100 This guy just bought an iPhone. 1.00

00:07:12.060 I forced this guy to buy a fucking iPhone. 1.00

00:07:15.040 What do you mean? 1.00

00:07:16.840 There's a thing right here on the side.

00:07:18.860 What, this?

00:07:19.380 Yeah, you clip this down.

00:07:21.420 What?

00:07:22.200 Right here.

00:07:23.780 Clip that down.

00:07:24.940 This?

00:07:27.220 How are you viral in India?

00:07:28.800 You don't know how to use an iPhone.

00:07:29.780 Give me this.

00:07:30.300 You take it.

00:07:31.800 Jesus Christ. 1.00

00:07:34.060 How do you not know how to fucking silence your phone? 1.00

00:07:39.600 So, what qualifies you to be this informed? 0.99

00:07:45.600 Like, why are you this informed on India?

00:07:47.420 I mean, I am generally pretty curious on international...

00:07:51.360 Like, I find it fascinating.

00:07:53.200 Geopolitics, all this nerd stuff, history.

00:07:55.300 And it's not the first time I've done India.

00:07:57.700 So, I used to do Tag TV, which is like India-focused Southeast Asian television in Canada.

00:08:01.880 I did that before the pandemic.

00:08:03.080 And then the virus came.

00:08:04.140 And then the studio shut down for a year.

00:08:06.140 And then, like...

00:08:06.740 So, I did the National Telegram and that.

00:08:08.440 But through that, I had met, like, you know, Baloch human rights activists, Kashmiri's...

00:08:14.320 Who?

00:08:15.000 Baloch. 0.83

00:08:16.040 Baloch. 0.83

00:08:16.500 Is that, like, Blowfish?

00:08:17.720 No, it's, like, a place in Pakistan that was, like, promised autonomy but never given it.

00:08:21.320 And that's, like, it's, like, human rights abuses.

00:08:23.120 And China's in there building roads. 0.80

00:08:24.600 And general, you know, it's not good human rights situation in Pakistan.

00:08:28.800 Balochistan.

00:08:29.220 Why do you think Jews care so much about everything? 1.00

00:08:33.220 I don't know.

00:08:34.000 Well, they don't.

00:08:34.600 It's just me.

00:08:35.460 Is it just you?

00:08:36.660 Well, there's a...

00:08:37.220 I don't know.

00:08:37.780 Like, a few of us.

00:08:39.660 But most people don't care about...

00:08:41.880 So, what is actually happening between Canada and India right now?

00:08:46.200 India's mad at Canada because... 0.69

00:08:48.760 Why?

00:08:50.660 Canada has kept alive a violent ethnic separatist movement.

00:08:55.940 And listen, countries don't like balkanization.

00:08:59.220 They don't like different ethnic groups picking up arms and trying to separate from their country.

00:09:03.300 Like, that creates bloody civil war and chaos.

00:09:05.540 So, there's a big, you know, clash between the Calistani movement and India in the 1980s.

00:09:13.500 Funded mostly by Pakistan after the wars with India.

00:09:16.340 And over from about 1985 to 1995, India pretty much had to take out the Calistani movement and then crushed it there.

00:09:24.320 So, what you're saying is that not all brown people like each other.

00:09:29.860 Exactly.

00:09:30.720 So, the turban guys don't like the non-turban guys. 0.76

00:09:34.140 No, the majority of Sikhs in India are not Calistanis.

00:09:37.180 Right?

00:09:38.020 So, that's why it's dead there.

00:09:39.820 This is a fringe Pakistani-funded movement because most Sikhs don't want to move to Pakistan because all the Sikhs have nearly been murdered and wiped out of Pakistan.

00:09:46.920 Is D.J. Khalid the president of Calistan?

00:09:53.240 D.J. Khalistan.

00:09:55.700 There is no president of Calistan, but he could be.

00:09:58.300 I'll look into it.

00:09:59.420 Okay.

00:10:00.020 So, what is Calistan?

00:10:01.760 Calistan would be a Sikh separating the Punjab region in India and turning it into Calistan, which would be an independent Sikh country.

00:10:11.400 So, is that happening?

00:10:14.140 They want to be independent Sikh, but they're not.

00:10:16.040 It's not happening.

00:10:16.520 It's part of India.

00:10:17.140 What's happening, this is why India is so mad at Canada. 0.98

00:10:19.360 So, this is where Canada comes in.

00:10:20.040 So, is Calistan the California of India?

00:10:27.620 Or the Quebec of India?

00:10:29.500 Quebec would be a better analogy there.

00:10:32.100 So, okay, what they're mad at is, in Canada, the Calistani movement has been allowed to grow and thrive through pretty much tacit endorsement from the government. 0.92

00:10:40.980 The worst terrorist attack in Canadian history is the Air India bombing of the 1980s.

00:10:45.700 And then we've had Calistani extremists try to assassinate Indian MPs and officials.

00:10:50.780 And that was not Jewish done. 0.92

00:10:52.900 That was Calistan. 0.80

00:10:53.800 That was Calistan. 0.80

00:10:54.340 That was not.

00:10:55.940 Because 9-11 was the Jews, I think. 1.00

00:10:57.780 That's what somebody told me.

00:11:00.460 Somebody told me that Epstein and Weinstein did a 9-11 back in the day.

00:11:06.880 Possibly.

00:11:08.880 It was.

00:11:09.880 But it wasn't.

00:11:10.560 So, this was not a Jewish fake airplane bomb.

00:11:15.760 This was a real Calistan bomb that killed people on an airplane going to Cuba from Canada. 0.91

00:11:24.440 Or from Calistan.

00:11:26.180 India.

00:11:27.780 En route to Canada.

00:11:29.860 Canadian airplane outbound to India.

00:11:33.780 That's wild.

00:11:34.200 India 182.

00:11:35.400 So, you remember when Trudeau went to India in 2018?

00:11:38.280 He invited a terrorist, a convicted terrorist in Canadian court, this guy Jasper Atwal.

00:11:42.240 And he showed up at their delegation to take pictures. 0.99

00:11:44.200 So, the Calistani movement has grown and flourished in Canada because we just were too much of a pussy to do anything about it. 0.99

00:11:51.120 It's because they're speaking a language that we don't understand, so we don't know what they're doing or what they're up to. 0.95

00:11:56.460 Pretty much, yeah.

00:11:57.100 Because they're just online going, and then we're like, okay, we don't know what that is.

00:12:01.360 Pretty much, yeah.

00:12:02.360 That's a pretty good synopsis of what happened there.

00:12:06.360 But there have been some of that's been a bit in non-English.

00:12:09.660 It's been a bit kill, kill, kill, kill, kill.

00:12:11.700 And the government didn't do anything about it.

00:12:13.380 What?

00:12:13.520 Some Calistani extremists are threatening Hindus right now.

00:12:17.560 Just all of them?

00:12:19.060 Like, listen, not all of them.

00:12:20.760 Or specific ones?

00:12:21.700 Specific ones are going on, and some of the leaders, like, the...

00:12:25.280 No, but what Hindus are they threatening? 0.99

00:12:26.820 All of them?

00:12:27.340 All of them, yeah.

00:12:29.420 Yeah.

00:12:29.580 Isn't that the majority of Indians are Hindu?

00:12:32.880 Yeah.

00:12:33.080 So you're telling me that the Turban guys are mad at the other guys.

00:12:37.340 They're ready to fight.

00:12:38.840 And the only hope for peace in the country of Canada is Danielle Boardman.

00:12:46.100 That's exactly what I said verbatim.

00:12:48.360 So without you, what would be happening right now?

00:12:53.080 Would it be a power vacuum on Indian TV?

00:12:55.440 A power vacuum on Indian TV?

00:12:56.540 Well, they would be nowhere near as entertained.

00:12:58.720 And that would be a shame.

00:13:00.860 We're going to cut to...

00:13:02.880 Here's a little segment of Danielle Boardman going off on Indian TV.

00:13:08.320 It provides facts.

00:13:10.700 It provides details.

00:13:11.760 There's also things that you can open source and corroborate those specific details.

00:13:17.460 We have videos of Arditson Adger firing off AK-47s.

00:13:21.420 We have videos of him sympathizing with terrorism.

00:13:24.120 We have videos of...

00:13:26.540 There's open source intelligence.

00:13:28.120 You know, I open source...

00:13:28.800 There's a story in the Vancouver Sun from 2016.

00:13:31.840 Canadian media.

00:13:33.140 That this guy might be running a terrorist training camp in British Columbia.

00:13:37.140 So that's Canadian media.

00:13:39.040 So I just did my own open source intelligence briefing to prove that he was involved in terrorist activities.

00:13:46.040 This is absolutely insane behavior by the Canadian government.

00:13:53.320 It looks like we had nothing.

00:13:55.500 And we had nothing all along.

00:13:57.240 And I'm so mad.

00:14:00.360 And it's so embarrassing.

00:14:03.520 It's so damaging to the country.

00:14:05.580 It's damaging to our relationship.

00:14:07.600 And I...

00:14:08.820 Yes, Dave Enby hedged that there might be some top secret non-open source thing that we still haven't seen.

00:14:15.940 Maybe.

00:14:16.980 But if we had anything, why wouldn't we show it to the Indian government?

00:14:19.340 Why wouldn't we show it to Five Eyes?

00:14:20.380 The Prime Minister has just said that this information was shared with India two weeks ago.

00:14:25.460 Until two days ago, the Ministry of External Affairs in India has said there has been no information.

00:14:30.220 There has been no proof that has been shared.

00:14:32.120 There has been no evidence that has been shared.

00:14:35.340 Well, this isn't quite evidence.

00:14:37.060 I mean, what Enby said is we have open source intelligence, which is Googling it, right?

00:14:43.500 This is all public.

00:14:45.260 So, I mean, did we go...

00:14:47.100 I mean, what I postulated as the most likely thing with the Trudeau report, because unfortunately I speak fluent Justin Trudeau.

00:14:56.320 And I can't remember where I said this because I've been talking for the last four days everywhere.

00:14:59.940 I postulated because I get this a lot.

00:15:02.480 Whenever a someone, a Sikh person dies in Canada or anywhere, there are insane Calistani conspiracy theorists who go off.

00:15:10.480 I have them in my direct messages.

00:15:11.760 I have them in my Twitter responses.

00:15:12.820 I have them in emails.

00:15:13.500 I've seen the conspiracies.

00:15:15.640 Did some Calistani nutjob just start emailing CSIS and the RCMP, a bunch of Twitter and Google stuff, and they coalesced it into one thing that said, oh, here is something with India maybe. 1.00

00:15:26.400 And they probably put that report in their desk.

00:15:27.660 And for some reason, the prime minister decided to pick that thing up and start a diplomatic war.

00:15:32.820 It's so mind-boggling.

00:15:35.800 So we're back.

00:15:36.680 And Daniel obviously has a lot to say on there.

00:15:39.680 I feel like they give you a lot more time than they would on like a Canadian TV station.

00:15:45.160 Yeah.

00:15:45.960 Is that right?

00:15:46.680 It is right.

00:15:47.280 And then like the more I've kind of gone a bit viral, the more I kind of get more time and questions thrown to you.

00:15:52.480 Like what was the most viral video that you had in the last two weeks?

00:15:56.540 I think the first major video, like the 101, like when I explained what was going on in like the 14-minute video, that was like the most viral.

00:16:05.820 Like over a million views on Twitter and then over a million on Facebook.

00:16:08.700 And then it's insane.

00:16:09.360 Like Instagram, then people were taking the video and like uploading it themselves.

00:16:12.740 And some guy said it was like going huge on Reddit.

00:16:15.240 And like so that just went mass viral.

00:16:17.420 And then like the first moment I had on Indian TV, I was on with the most like left-wing Indian television host they had there.

00:16:26.540 Like they're Rachel Maddow, my boy Rajdeep.

00:16:28.740 And like it was pretty lefty there.

00:16:30.020 And then I just like went off and was me and very based and like whatever.

00:16:33.640 And then he was like, strong words, commercial.

00:16:37.200 And then that just went.

00:16:38.060 So they do have internet in India.

00:16:40.600 Yeah.

00:16:41.740 It's not just.

00:16:43.080 I was picturing it more like radio, antenna, tin roof, shantytown. 0.98

00:16:51.120 But you're telling me they have like a flourishing society there.

00:16:54.520 Yeah.

00:16:55.080 And rapidly, especially under the recent government of, you know.

00:17:00.420 Who's the government there?

00:17:01.700 Modi?

00:17:02.160 Modi and the BJP.

00:17:02.960 Is he like the Trump of India?

00:17:05.060 Yeah, that's the way to.

00:17:06.200 Yeah, it would be the left.

00:17:07.180 That's the, he's always unpopular in the West to some people because the way that the Washington Post would portray him would be the Trump of India.

00:17:15.540 Isn't that racist though for people in the West to, it's, it's, to call a politician from another country who is another race, not white, the Trump of their country just because they don't like his policies.

00:17:28.460 Because saying somebody is the Trump of somebody if you're left wing means you hate them.

00:17:33.180 And if saying somebody, somebody is the Trump of something if you're right wing means you love them.

00:17:37.280 Yeah.

00:17:37.440 Yeah, it's, it's not a productive way to look at any serious political issue, but we do it.

00:17:43.240 Are you thinking about getting a mansion in India and having 10 to 12 Indian slaves slash wives slash maids? 1.00

00:17:53.520 Yes.

00:17:55.200 Yes.

00:17:57.280 Because that's what I'm, that's what I'm thinking is going to happen if you keep going viral in India as I'm moving there and I am personally hiring a, um, what do you call a group of Indian women? 1.00

00:18:10.200 A gaggle?

00:18:11.840 A gaggle of Indian girls to take care of the Jewish community center in Mumbai.

00:18:18.100 Is there a JCC?

00:18:19.960 Look up JCC Mumbai.

00:18:21.620 Um, what is the future for you?

00:18:24.580 If like, so basically your viral sensation, you're on TV every single day in India right now.

00:18:30.660 How many days straight have you been on TV?

00:18:34.080 Since September 19th, since like the first one last Tuesday.

00:18:40.840 And like, so every day you're going on zoom and you're actually on live TV.

00:18:45.560 Like millions of people can watch this on their TVs in India or are.

00:18:49.540 Yeah.

00:18:50.160 And there's clips of it on Instagram and YouTube and Twitter from those TV stations of you every single day for the last like over a week.

00:18:58.980 Multiple times a day.

00:19:00.640 It's literally wild.

00:19:02.020 It's pretty wild.

00:19:03.260 It's pretty wild.

00:19:03.800 Are you worried?

00:19:07.100 No. 1.00

00:19:07.620 Like what's the, what's the worst thing that could happen with all this shit? 1.00

00:19:10.920 There's always worst case scenarios, but like, listen, you can get hit by a car walking outside. 1.00

00:19:16.440 Right.

00:19:16.940 It's yeah.

00:19:17.860 Do I lead a life a bit more risky than others?

00:19:19.840 So do you.

00:19:20.540 Right.

00:19:21.040 But it's, what do you mean?

00:19:22.380 I'm in a cape.

00:19:23.160 I'm in a cape.

00:19:24.840 What do you express your opinion?

00:19:25.860 You go out, do comedy.

00:19:26.900 You say where you are.

00:19:27.740 Like, yeah, you can always catastrophize what's going to happen, but generally not.

00:19:32.160 Like, I think.

00:19:33.120 Could Jagmeet Singh sue you?

00:19:36.700 Not while he's in office, but I think if I got sued by Jagmeet Singh, I think I could get like a billion dollars raised off of the Indian people to help me fight Jagmeet.

00:19:48.200 But why is Jagmeet Singh so obsessed with the gays?

00:19:53.080 Like, why? 0.85

00:19:53.840 Even though he wears a turban and he's like, yo, I'm Sikh.

00:19:57.540 Why is he also?

00:19:58.580 Because Sikh people, like, is being gay accepted in Sikh culture?

00:20:03.220 I don't know enough about Sikh culture. 0.92

00:20:05.500 Sorry, Sikh religion on homosexuality. 1.00

00:20:07.820 Hey Siri, how do the gays. 1.00

00:20:10.220 Sorry, wait, I fucked up. 1.00

00:20:12.020 How do the Sikhs see the gays? 0.99

00:20:13.600 Hey Siri, how do the Sikhs feel about the gays?

00:20:19.060 I found this on the web.

00:20:27.180 Sikhism has no specific teachings about homosexuality.

00:20:31.260 In the Sikh holy scripture, the guru, Gran Sahib, does not explicitly mention heterosexuality, homosexuality, or bisexuality.

00:20:39.440 The universal goal of Sikh is to have no hate or animosity to any person, regardless of factors like race, caste, color, creed, or gender. 0.68

00:20:47.960 Okay, so all Sikhs are gay is what I just read in my head. 0.99

00:20:55.460 Wearing a turban is gay. 1.00

00:20:56.620 It's that we don't have a general problem with Sikhs or Sikhism. 0.97

00:20:59.920 Why not?

00:21:01.260 Because they have a long, rich history in India.

00:21:03.840 They've ruled at points.

00:21:05.040 Like, it's thousands of years.

00:21:06.760 And the majority of Indians, Sikhs, are not Khalistanis.

00:21:10.300 Now, there has been fomented by mostly ISI, like, money.

00:21:15.660 What's ISI?

00:21:16.620 The Pakistani intelligence.

00:21:19.040 So, Pakistani foreign meddling. 0.69

00:21:20.880 Right?

00:21:21.020 Because Pakistan and India are fighting. 0.96

00:21:22.580 Like, yes, and the NIA meddles with Pakistan.

00:21:24.920 Like, they're enemies, right?

00:21:26.600 So, their intelligence service is...

00:21:28.020 How can you tell if your Uber driver is Pakistani, Kalistani, or Indian, or Hindu, or native?

00:21:35.660 If there's...

00:21:36.660 You can tell if they're wearing a turban.

00:21:38.060 That means they're Sikh.

00:21:40.100 If their name...

00:21:41.440 If they have an AK-47 tattoo on their neck, and they have a turban, is it possible they're 0.91

00:21:48.600 Kalistani? 0.96

00:21:49.560 Yes. 0.99

00:21:50.460 And those are the people that want to potentially kill you? 0.95

00:21:54.440 Yes.

00:21:54.880 That's terrifying.

00:21:59.280 Well, I want to take this moment to say that I do not stand behind any of Daniel Boardman's

00:22:05.040 words or statements.

00:22:06.680 We are simply here to raise awareness about the last few months of Daniel's life before

00:22:12.020 he is... 0.99

00:22:13.360 Pussy. 1.00

00:22:14.240 Taken out by... 1.00

00:22:16.440 Men with turbans on.

00:22:19.020 At a drive-thru in Brampton.

00:22:20.520 No, but seriously, what is...

00:22:23.280 Like, why is Canada...

00:22:28.520 Canada's harboring criminals, but like, why do we care?

00:22:32.480 Who cares, right?

00:22:33.620 Well, India cares because they're starting... 1.00

00:22:35.520 I mean, their politicians have faced assassination attempts in our country.

00:22:39.500 There have been incidents where they think Kalisthenians are traveling to India to commit terrorist

00:22:43.760 attacks and then coming back to Canada.

00:22:45.200 That's what the Indian government is alleging.

00:22:46.800 So, it's very serious for India because Canada has sort of become somewhat of a breeding ground 1.00

00:22:52.480 for anti-Indian extremism.

00:22:54.120 So, that's what they're really mad at now.

00:22:56.600 Whereas, what you're...

00:22:57.560 You are a pro-Indian extremist. 0.99

00:22:59.960 I'm anti-all extremists. 0.95

00:23:01.700 I think, you know, if there's Hindus going up saying crazy things like nuke Canada, yeah, 1.00

00:23:06.160 he's an idiot. 1.00

00:23:07.120 And if there's Hindus going, like, we're the superior race, we're the Hindu, we're the 1.00

00:23:10.780 ultimate culture, we will convert everyone or die, then they're crazy people. 0.99

00:23:15.860 And, like, just like the Kalisthenians. 0.98

00:23:17.720 So, just because people are going crazy doesn't give you the excuse to go crazy yourself.

00:23:23.780 Do you think we have enough Indians in Canada? 1.00

00:23:27.060 Too many?

00:23:32.220 Well, we're about to have a lot less with this visa issue.

00:23:34.820 So, that question's been answered by Justin Trudeau.

00:23:37.300 I, like a lot of people, read the visa news and thought immediately, oh, great, they're

00:23:43.680 cutting off, but the Indians from coming here. 1.00

00:23:46.660 But instead, it's I can't go there, which sucks because I was planning on it, going for...

00:23:54.940 To eat.

00:23:55.540 I like the videos of the street food where there's just bees and wasps and ants all over it.

00:24:00.660 That looks good.

00:24:01.320 I want some Indian street food.

00:24:06.900 Are you famous enough in Canadian Indian circles to start selling out theaters?

00:24:13.920 Can you become the Jordan Peterson of Indian people? 0.84

00:24:17.560 Can you take this to another level and have you figured what is that look like?

00:24:25.120 I mean, I want to sort of at some point see, yeah, what is the ability for me to do an event

00:24:30.700 in Canada?

00:24:31.480 Like, can I do something in Toronto?

00:24:32.540 Can I do something in Brampton?

00:24:33.840 Could I start a comedy show?

00:24:35.040 And then could I do speaking tours?

00:24:36.520 I want to test it out.

00:24:38.040 I mean, it's just been such a whirlwind and I just want to kind of get through all the

00:24:41.780 commitments I've made to like all these, you know, big podcasts and things and stuff

00:24:47.440 and then start calling venues.

00:24:50.040 Yeah, I'm going to flood the idea, but yeah, I want to start to go out in the world and

00:24:56.940 ramble at people live because I love doing that.

00:25:00.280 I mean, TV is fun, but you know, it's not as good as real people.

00:25:07.480 So is there an event plan?

00:25:08.840 Like, are you going to plan something?

00:25:11.220 I'm going to try.

00:25:12.140 I've reached out to a bunch of people and some people with organizations and they're

00:25:15.720 very happy and they want to work together and do something.

00:25:18.020 They're just having that time to book like a venue and put it in because it's just too

00:25:25.380 much craziness.

00:25:26.040 But I put out a, to all the contacts I had in the Hindu community before I went viral,

00:25:32.020 I reached out to them and started working on something.

00:25:37.360 Now, you were afraid to have Armin Arbabi on this podcast because you were worried that

00:25:42.080 you would ruin your career in India as a Ben Shapiro impersonator. 0.91

00:25:48.600 Pretty much, yeah.

00:25:51.040 Is it possible that the Indians thought you were Ben Shapiro and asked you if you were

00:25:57.900 Ben Shapiro and you said yes?

00:25:59.800 Is it possible that happened?

00:26:00.980 That happened twice and I took advantage of it.

00:26:03.660 It ended up on TV.

00:26:05.740 Legitimately?

00:26:06.140 Ben Shapiro, yeah.

00:26:10.360 I feel like I could apply, like I should like apply for jobs in like third world countries 0.66

00:26:16.000 as a comedian.

00:26:17.200 Like just like I should reach out to like Mogadishu.

00:26:20.540 Is that a country?

00:26:21.780 That's a city.

00:26:22.620 That's a city in Ethiopia, right?

00:26:24.260 Somalia.

00:26:26.020 Somalia, Ethiopia, is that the same?

00:26:28.500 Part of the world.

00:26:29.500 It's both East Africa.

00:26:30.460 They both eat with their hands.

00:26:33.940 Yeah.

00:26:34.860 Ethiopian food is you have the big foamy bread thing that's I don't think made of.

00:26:39.400 Yeah, I've had Ethiopian before.

00:26:40.880 I puked after.

00:26:44.440 Well, you puked after a lot of things.

00:26:46.880 But that was just because it wasn't the best one.

00:26:50.580 But I'm sure there's.

00:26:51.400 What is the best Indian restaurant in Toronto?

00:26:53.800 Because I think it's Puka.

00:26:55.940 Which is on St. Clair.

00:26:57.400 I find Indian restaurant food overrated, but Indian home-cooked food, really good.

00:27:02.160 How often are you eating a home-cooked Indian meal in an Indian person's home?

00:27:07.760 I did so more when I was at Tag TV back in the day when like at the office.

00:27:11.800 Really?

00:27:12.220 Yeah, they're very nice there and here's wife would cook. 1.00

00:27:15.960 Indians are better at cooking than Jews. 1.00

00:27:17.820 And then, yeah, I've gone to events and been invited to some dinner parties from people

00:27:20.760 because of the different stuff I've done over the years.

00:27:24.460 Right?

00:27:24.860 I have some, I've been in, you know, my friends in the Kashmiri Pondit community have been

00:27:28.760 had me over.

00:27:30.520 What's next?

00:27:31.260 What happens if nobody cares about India anymore?

00:27:33.460 What if, I don't think that's going to happen.

00:27:35.140 I think that India is going to keep being in the news.

00:27:37.240 But if that did happen, would you be changing your focus to something else?

00:27:42.040 I mean, I always cover different things.

00:27:43.580 This just happened at this time.

00:27:45.160 Like, you know me.

00:27:46.820 I talk more about Iran than I do about India in terms of like countries that are not Canada

00:27:51.560 and weird geopolitical things.

00:27:52.760 So, there's always been a myriad of things I could talk about.

00:27:55.980 Like, yeah, I could talk about Israel, Saudi Arabia, Iran, India, Canada, America, all

00:28:00.600 these geopolitical things and all national Canadian issues because I could talk about

00:28:03.860 that too.

00:28:04.400 Like, there's just a lot of, I'm like a political nerd.

00:28:07.980 Is it true you got job offers from Global News and CTE and CBC?

00:28:12.100 There was, I don't want to say out loud before something's confirmed, but yes, I've had opportunities and people have reached

00:28:19.700 out to me.

00:28:20.440 Within the last two weeks.

00:28:21.620 Within the last two weeks from Indian stations to do some work with them.

00:28:26.660 And I, it was the Jewish high holidays.

00:28:29.120 So, I couldn't say whatever.

00:28:30.620 So, I said I'd get back to them after Yom Kippur. 0.99

00:28:33.040 Yom Kippur has just passed.

00:28:34.100 Is it possible all of this is fake and this was just Omni-1?

00:28:39.080 That, that is possible.

00:28:43.160 It could just be a random TV station in Canada has created the entire.

00:28:48.860 What's your favorite news station right now in India to be on?

00:28:55.500 I don't know if it's, it's, it just depends on the topic.

00:29:00.380 It, it depends on the interviewer.

00:29:01.800 Like, I, I just enjoy going on and, and, you know, it, it, I haven't had anyone like really

00:29:10.140 like screw me over any anchor, like, you know, undermine me or any way or all the producers

00:29:16.560 who've been booking me have been very nice and polite.

00:29:19.500 So.

00:29:19.680 Do you think it's because you're Jewish and they think you control the media in Canada?

00:29:23.640 They, no, they don't know.

00:29:24.400 Oh, they don't know anti-Semitic stereotypes.

00:29:26.000 They wouldn't know the Jew. 0.96

00:29:27.100 They don't?

00:29:28.180 An Indian? 0.90

00:29:29.200 They love Jews.

00:29:30.580 They, they like them.

00:29:31.680 They, but they don't know anything about like our culture.

00:29:34.260 Like, but they do like us.

00:29:35.280 Oh, Jew and Indian. 1.00

00:29:36.380 No, they, they like and respect us because they know we're an old civilization in Israel. 0.99

00:29:40.400 You like to stink like latke? 0.99

00:29:42.560 I stink like curry. 1.00

00:29:44.660 You stink like a filter fish. 1.00

00:29:47.080 But in order, Jew versus Indian. 1.00

00:29:52.860 You done?

00:29:54.400 Guys, this show is sponsored by Patreon, patreon.com slash Ben Bankus.

00:30:01.140 You can get a bonus podcast with Daniel and Armin Arbabi, who is Daniel Boardman's arch nemesis.

00:30:10.920 They're both openers of mine.

00:30:12.120 They're very competitive.

00:30:13.580 And Armin Arbabi is a brown person.

00:30:15.960 So, he is not happy about any of what has been happening.

00:30:20.460 No, I mean, he doesn't care politically.

00:30:22.480 He just thinks it's hilarious. 0.83

00:30:23.780 So, if you want to listen to a bonus podcast where we really talk shit, go to patreon.com slash Ben Bankus and sign up right now. 0.90

00:30:31.380 And we're back with Daniel Boardman, the viral sensation from the Jewish neighborhood in Toronto. 0.96

00:30:42.140 But now he's an Indian. 1.00

00:30:43.540 How did you become so good at speaking English to Indians?

00:30:51.400 Because they don't typically speak English.

00:30:53.960 No, they do.

00:30:54.340 It's a national language.

00:30:55.100 It's like everyone's second language in India is English.

00:30:58.380 Yeah, you can tell it's a second language because it doesn't sound like the verse.

00:31:01.640 But so, the Indians in India speaking English, that's their national language.

00:31:09.340 There's a lot of opportunity in India that I think people are ignoring.

00:31:12.480 And I think a lot of people, once this ban happened from India saying that Canadians can't go to India, 0.98

00:31:17.980 all of a sudden Canadians are like, fuck, should I be in India? 0.99

00:31:20.720 Should I have like 10 sweatshops and be selling Nikes to Walmart? 1.00

00:31:25.980 You know, there's opportunities there to exploit vulnerable people and make hundreds of millions of dollars off of their slave labor.

00:31:37.020 And I mean, frankly, I want to be part of it.

00:31:39.520 I would like to own a few factories with underpaid workers that didn't have proper working conditions.

00:31:47.120 Maybe once in a while, the building collapses.

00:31:49.920 You lose half the workforce.

00:31:51.460 Insurance comes in, pays for a new building, get new workers.

00:31:54.620 Those are the types of things that I'd like to be doing in India.

00:31:58.100 When did you realize that this was just, like, do you agree with me that India is the, like, 1.00

00:32:04.900 if this ban wasn't in existence, I as a Canadian could go to India and make a ton of money selling forced labor?

00:32:17.720 Not really.

00:32:18.740 You can make a ton of money in India because it's like a growing market opportunity.

00:32:22.100 But just coming in and, like, declaring yourself a slave or not, might not be the best business model.

00:32:28.920 Is that what Walmart does?

00:32:32.640 Yeah, but Walmart's Walmart.

00:32:34.840 So they can pay more?

00:32:36.300 Yeah.

00:32:36.580 They have the billions of dollars, too.

00:32:38.380 But I could get, like, three guys to start making, like, fake Yeezy flip-flops.

00:32:44.880 You could get three guys to start making fake Yeezy flip-flops.

00:32:49.180 And pay them, like, $14 an hour, and that would be the highest they'd ever been paid in their entire lives.

00:32:55.540 There's a place in India where you could definitely find three guys to make $14 an hour to knock off Yeezys, and they'd be very happy. 0.97

00:33:01.780 Well, that's what I want to do.

00:33:03.560 I want to retire and just have three guys in my living room making Yeezys. 0.73

00:33:07.760 That's what I want to do.

00:33:10.580 And I don't think there's much of a future here for millennials in Canada anymore. 0.98

00:33:16.720 Let's switch the subject matter here a little bit.

00:33:19.740 Today, well, this week, actually, Justin Trudeau, the Prime Minister of Canada, has had...

00:33:28.760 Voldemort Zelensky.

00:33:30.480 I thought his name was Voldemort, which is the first name of Harry Potter's dad.

00:33:37.180 Voldemort.

00:33:38.940 He's here.

00:33:40.340 He was in Parliament.

00:33:41.620 There was a standing ovation for what they are calling a Ukrainian, former Ukrainian soldier that fought against Russia.

00:33:49.980 But what they found out was he was actually a Nazi in World War II and was part of an SS unit.

00:33:55.700 And Trudeau was standing, clapping.

00:34:00.800 Should there be repercussions to this?

00:34:02.940 Like, should...

00:34:03.400 Or what are the repercussions?

00:34:04.940 Is this bad?

00:34:06.000 It's very bad.

00:34:07.860 It's Yom Kippur as well, so... 0.61

00:34:09.700 Yeah.

00:34:10.400 Do you feel offended as a Jew? 1.00

00:34:12.960 It's more as a Canadian, where it's like, what the hell are these idiots doing? 1.00

00:34:17.580 They're inviting Nazis into Parliament with Vladimir Zelensky there. 1.00

00:34:21.560 I think it's pretty based.

00:34:23.220 Yeah.

00:34:23.540 Like, yeah.

00:34:28.800 This is a major propaganda win for the Russians. 0.98

00:34:31.840 So Trudeau just massively undermined the alliance of Western nations trying to support Ukraine. 1.00

00:34:35.880 He's an idiot. 1.00

00:34:36.960 And that's a massive failure of vetting, and heads need to roll. 1.00

00:34:39.760 Like, the speaker that has needs to resign if he's responsible.

00:34:42.960 I get he had a good apology, but he needs to go.

00:34:44.980 And, you know, you can't have this, because then this whole narrative of, oh, like, you know, Ukraine's just a bunch of neo-Nazis, so it's okay to just invade them.

00:34:58.660 That keeps going.

00:35:00.020 It can't happen.

00:35:00.460 Right, and we don't know if that's true or not, but what we do know is that a 98-year-old looked pretty good, the Nazi. 0.86

00:35:06.840 Maybe being a Nazi isn't so bad if you can live to 98 and get a standing O. 0.61

00:35:10.720 So maybe God was on the side of the Nazis. 0.86

00:35:15.540 Is this possible?

00:35:17.480 No.

00:35:17.720 Okay, thank you for answering that on the Yom Kippur night.

00:35:23.280 It's a day of atonement for the Jews, and I want to atone that there will never be another Jew killed at the hands of a German. 0.98

00:35:34.540 But there will be many Indians killed at the hands of Indians. 0.99

00:35:40.900 Thank you. 0.53

00:35:41.500 My name is Walter Cronkite.

00:35:42.720 Good night.

00:35:44.400 Boardman.

00:35:45.060 Daniel Boardman.

00:35:45.860 What does Boardman mean in Hindu?

00:35:48.680 Man of many boards.

00:35:52.980 Because he's like a lot of rebounds in basketball.

00:35:57.520 Dennis Rodman of India.

00:35:59.020 You're the Dennis Rodman of India. 0.97

00:36:00.420 I'm the Dennis Rodman of India. 0.95

00:36:01.880 You're the Seth Rogen.

00:36:07.360 Who else could you be of India? 0.99

00:36:09.660 What's that other guy?

00:36:11.800 The other CNN guy?

00:36:14.140 Yeah, you're the Anderson Cooper of India.

00:36:17.720 You're not even...

00:36:18.400 You're the...

00:36:18.980 I'm not a news anchor.

00:36:19.860 You're a pundit.

00:36:21.100 You're like the guy who comes in who's like a fake scientist and says that everything is bad.

00:36:25.880 COVID is bad.

00:36:26.040 Yeah, I'm a guy who does stand-up comedy and stand-up comedy. 0.79

00:36:28.980 You're like a fake Canadian journalist on TV.

00:36:32.720 It's almost like you play a journalist on TV in a way.

00:36:35.420 Yeah, I'm a stand-up comedian who says the news.

00:36:36.980 And sometimes I've done legit work.

00:36:39.120 And sometimes it's like op-eds.

00:36:40.880 So I can...

00:36:41.560 There are some things where I can point to like, you know, I was the first journalist

00:36:44.780 to call the PS752 terrorism attack attack because I proved it that the report was BS.

00:36:50.600 They're going to have you in a Ripley's Believe It or Not museum.

00:36:52.980 Yeah, first one to report and can't write an article on like Qasem Soleimani being killed

00:36:55.960 and all that.

00:36:56.900 The most lawsuits that have to be recorded by journalists.

00:37:00.520 So this isn't a crazy stuff where I can point to be like, I did that and people look at 0.99

00:37:03.280 it and it's like, well, that's real shit. 0.98

00:37:04.700 You've done that. 0.99

00:37:05.240 And then I've been touring the country with Ben Bankus being like telling...

00:37:08.940 I just realized you were wearing that shirt.

00:37:10.820 That shirt is very...

00:37:12.760 I'm in grade seven and I just got lost on the TTC.

00:37:18.180 That actually is a bit of an Indian...

00:37:20.080 You're starting to dress Indian is what I'm noticing. 1.00

00:37:24.860 Your glasses are Indian.

00:37:26.240 Your hair is Indian.

00:37:27.100 Your skin's browning from all the exposure to Indian TV.

00:37:33.720 Maybe.

00:37:34.160 What happened with Nipah virus?

00:37:35.440 I thought India was on lockdown.

00:37:37.060 Are they not long...

00:37:37.860 Are they on lockdown?

00:37:39.140 Are they still on top of all the trains and riding on top of the trains?

00:37:42.180 It might have just been like somewhere in one province there was a health issue warning

00:37:44.320 for a bit.

00:37:44.960 I didn't look too much into that.

00:37:46.820 Why do Indians ride on top of the train? 1.00

00:37:49.500 That's because it's jam-packed.

00:37:51.120 There's billions of people and the rate of that's going on.

00:37:52.900 That was like why it's growing so much.

00:37:54.120 Modi's plan was like...

00:37:55.720 No more Indians on the trains. 1.00

00:37:57.380 No, but like modernize.

00:37:58.800 Like modernize the infrastructure.

00:37:59.860 Get white people on top. 0.78

00:38:00.340 Modernize, push, like, you know, get more modern infrastructure going and like, you know,

00:38:06.820 less taxes and bureaucracy more.

00:38:09.260 Push, push, push. 0.98

00:38:10.000 Grow, grow, grow.

00:38:12.400 Top five things that you think are going to happen in the next year with India and Canada.

00:38:16.640 Go.

00:38:16.820 Depends on how this plays out.

00:38:21.080 But I see bad diplomatic relations dragging out.

00:38:24.420 As long as Justin Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh hold power, we will have a rocky relationship

00:38:29.880 with India. 1.00

00:38:30.460 So as long as those two are in power, they're both fucking idiots and they're going to continue 1.00

00:38:36.320 to do some things and Jagmeet's intentionally trying to antagonize India. 1.00

00:38:40.460 Justin, I don't think, understands the issue or whatever.

00:38:43.640 I mean, he has a history of Hector and our allies for not being socially progressive

00:38:46.560 enough, like Italy and Poland.

00:38:48.500 So they're going to continue to agonize, antagonize India. 0.99

00:38:51.740 And unless the Americans and the rather Five Eyes come out with like a concrete bombshell 1.00

00:38:56.540 like Colonel Mustard in the conservatory with the candlestick.

00:38:59.400 We caught the Indian government, you know, responsible for this killing. 1.00

00:39:03.200 And, you know, it's not going to go well.

00:39:05.000 What did you say?

00:39:05.920 Candlestick in a rhubarb pie?

00:39:07.860 It's like Colonel Mustard in the conservatory with the candlestick, right?

00:39:11.100 You ever play Clue? 0.99

00:39:11.700 Is that a fucking saying? 1.00

00:39:13.360 Is that a Jewish saying? 1.00

00:39:14.760 Colonel Sanders in a mustache with a candlestick? 1.00

00:39:17.640 What the fuck is that shit? 1.00

00:39:19.680 What does that mean? 1.00

00:39:20.900 You play, do you know when you play the game Clue?

00:39:22.340 You need to figure out the right suspect, murder weapon, and the room it was done in.

00:39:27.300 And if you guess all three right, you win.

00:39:28.700 So Colonel Mustard's one of the characters in Clue.

00:39:31.060 Candlestick's one of the weapons.

00:39:31.900 So did you just make that up?

00:39:32.820 The conservatory is the thing.

00:39:35.060 You really are a pundit on Indian TV.

00:39:37.160 This is like, that is something that you would get away with saying on Indian TV.

00:39:40.980 You're like, this is a Colonel Sanders in a pumpkin stick moment.

00:39:44.720 I have a lot of great memories.

00:39:45.720 It's like, very true, Daniel.

00:39:47.380 I've never seen a pumpkin stick this bad since in 2018 when Trudeau went to Pumpkinville.

00:39:53.580 Pretty much.

00:39:54.120 Yeah, I have a lot of great...

00:39:55.080 Do they like pumpkins?

00:39:56.080 Is that why they all wear orange?

00:39:57.820 I don't think they have pumpkins.

00:39:58.720 Or are they celebrating the death of the native children?

00:40:01.260 You'll have to ask them that.

00:40:04.780 Hello, Indian people.

00:40:06.600 How do you feel?

00:40:07.620 Do you like the native?

00:40:09.360 I don't think Indians like the natives because we called them Indians.

00:40:12.240 So they're like, no, we are an Indian. 1.00

00:40:14.560 Fuck a native. 1.00

00:40:15.600 Fuck off. 1.00

00:40:16.120 This isn't my land now, bitch. 1.00

00:40:19.640 I want to see an Indian yelling at a native going, no, you cannot live in Brampton even though this is Oceanabe land. 1.00

00:40:29.260 Do, in India, do they know about the atrocities of Canada against the natives?

00:40:36.320 And if so, do they care considering they're both Indians?

00:40:41.400 I don't think they care too much about, like, Canadian historical grievances at the moment.

00:40:48.920 You should bring it up.

00:40:49.780 Their problems are pretty much on the Calistanis.

00:40:50.660 You should remind them on Indian TV that we used to call natives Indians because we thought Canada was India.

00:40:57.820 So technically, Canada is India because we thought it was and we found it and we're like, yo, this is India.

00:41:03.440 We're going to live here. 0.96

00:41:04.400 And then we found India and we're like, shit, that's not India. 1.00

00:41:07.060 But we're going to fucking. 1.00

00:41:07.880 It's like the Louis C.K. joke where he's like, we're going to keep call them Indians anyway. 1.00

00:41:13.160 We know they're not.

00:41:14.280 We knew that he's like, we knew they weren't Indians like a week in. 0.98

00:41:18.460 That's not a big problem domestically in India.

00:41:22.100 Have we considered sending the native population in Canada back to India?

00:41:28.000 I will reach out, see what they say about it.

00:41:31.600 Do that's I think that's thinking outside the box.

00:41:34.520 You want to talk about reparations?

00:41:36.380 Indians, it's cheaper if we get you land in India, to be honest. 1.00

00:41:40.580 We'll get you a little bit of jungle and you guys can set up a teepee.

00:41:45.260 And I think teepees will do well in the Indian climate.

00:41:49.040 No, I love natives.

00:41:50.100 I love Indians.

00:41:50.660 I love Chinese.

00:41:51.320 I love blacks.

00:41:51.920 I love Jews. 0.75

00:41:52.580 I love whites.

00:41:53.620 I love Hispanics.

00:41:55.560 And that's it.

00:41:56.720 Everybody else I don't like that much.

00:41:59.680 I don't know who else there is.

00:42:00.680 But Fijians. 1.00

00:42:02.220 People from.

00:42:08.760 What are Bajans again? 1.00

00:42:10.080 Bermuda?

00:42:11.560 Bajans? 1.00

00:42:13.020 Bahamas?

00:42:14.580 That's where Rihanna. 0.78

00:42:15.580 Where's Rihanna from?

00:42:17.440 Rihanna's Indian.

00:42:18.140 These are not the things I know.

00:42:19.800 Rihanna is an Indian woman.

00:42:21.940 I don't know if you know that.

00:42:22.640 She's married to A$AP Rocky.

00:42:24.460 Her real name is. 0.67

00:42:25.360 I did not know that.

00:42:30.600 Interesting.

00:42:32.840 We're hoping this episode goes viral in India.

00:42:36.960 Probably hurt your chances every time you go.

00:42:38.880 Is India just a. 1.00

00:42:41.240 But they kind of laugh at that because part of them is like they know that it kind of is that.

00:42:47.540 Like if you lived in India and you went. 0.91

00:42:49.400 What's it like there?

00:42:50.040 Is it like this?

00:42:51.680 They'd be like.

00:42:52.420 Yeah, kind of.

00:42:53.680 But now what's it like in Toronto?

00:42:56.440 It's basically the same thing.

00:42:58.540 So there is that.

00:43:01.260 I am so happy you made time to come on the show.

00:43:04.220 I know you're very busy and you're on a ton of different Indian channels.

00:43:09.360 Where can people follow you?

00:43:11.280 Find you?

00:43:12.120 What are your next big shows or appearances on TV?

00:43:17.140 Where are they?

00:43:17.780 What are they?

00:43:18.820 Your website.

00:43:19.740 Tell us about.

00:43:20.300 You're also one of the co-founders of the National Telegraph, which is a news website.

00:43:26.580 Tell us a little bit about that.

00:43:28.000 Yeah.

00:43:28.260 So we as one of the people who started an online news website right before COVID hit. 0.96

00:43:32.580 So that was kind of good for online news because everyone's like, what the fuck's going on?

00:43:37.660 So the National Telegraph, if you want to support that.

00:43:40.920 The only thing is just Twitter because they took us off of Facebook and Google.

00:43:44.740 Like the Canadian government just shut down news on all that.

00:43:48.080 So that's.

00:43:48.820 Well, to be fair, they made a law that made that they wanted the Google to and Facebook

00:43:54.980 to give hundreds of millions of dollars to shitty Canadian news companies like CTV and

00:44:00.060 Global and those Google and Facebook said no.

00:44:03.220 So they took Google and Facebook took the news off.

00:44:06.820 So Twitter and the National Telegraph, not Telegraph, it's in my bio.

00:44:12.900 But if you go to my Twitter page, it's under Daniel Boardman.

00:44:15.420 The ad's ranting for the number for Canada.

00:44:18.620 Then Instagram, YouTube, whatever it is.

00:44:20.620 Like it's just under my name.

00:44:22.100 If it's a picture of me, if it's my name, you can find me there.

00:44:24.780 If you want to see the Twitter is probably the best because it has the viral video,

00:44:28.180 the one-on-one explainer.

00:44:29.320 If you're actually like, what's going on?

00:44:30.580 I don't want.

00:44:31.020 I want to really know.

00:44:32.540 That's the video that went viral.

00:44:33.680 It explains kind of how we got here, what would go on.

00:44:38.320 So that's what I'd recommend you watch.

00:44:40.340 And the podcast, there's a bunch coming up.

00:44:42.080 I mean, I can, every day I'll be on, follow my Twitter.

00:44:45.700 I'll put the clips of where I'm on TV.

00:44:47.680 I'm on, yeah, there's Republic TV.

00:44:49.620 I think I'm with the Times now.

00:44:51.620 Tomorrow I booked it and I said I'd do something India today, later.

00:44:55.280 But then tomorrow morning I'm going to get a bunch of WhatsApp requests to come on,

00:44:59.380 like the day of the show, and I'll wake up and I'll decide which ones to do then

00:45:02.680 depending on the time, and then I'll be everywhere on the internet.

00:45:06.360 It's amazing.

00:45:07.200 Is there a website we can go to for National Telegraph?

00:45:17.940 in India right now, going on Indian TV alongside me.

00:45:21.240 So basically National Telegraph has taken over Indian TV, right?

00:45:24.280 Yeah, so we have the most popular news network in India.

00:45:27.220 Popular Canadian news network in India, probably.

00:45:29.840 Do you know how many, have you been getting more hits on the site?

00:45:32.520 Yeah.

00:45:33.340 Do you know how many more?

00:45:36.040 I haven't been looking at, like, I don't have time to manage the analytics, like, on that,

00:45:40.820 and I don't have time to write things.

00:45:43.840 But we're getting more hits on the YouTube, which is great.

00:45:47.680 That's more, the YouTube's growing on that.

00:45:50.320 So, yeah, it's been hard because we're all so busy, but it's going well.
