This week on The Bankist Show, Ben Bankist talks about anti-Semitism, the French election, and why Jews are running the world. Also, a guy who thinks that Jews are a race and is obsessed with it.
00:00:51.640We didn't do a podcast last week because of that.
00:00:53.760But we are back and we've had tons of positive feedback on the podcast and, of course, the comedy special.
00:01:00.680But more importantly right now, the podcast, tons and tons of positive feedback.
00:01:06.520I have people sending me voice notes, complimenting and things like that.
00:01:11.700So I appreciate everybody who listens and who's into it.
00:01:17.220And, of course, this podcast is something that you want to listen to at the gym.
00:01:22.880You want to listen to it when you're driving your car.
00:01:26.100You want to, you know, I guess some people are unemployed, so they just listen to it at home for fun because they have nothing else going on.
00:04:24.840He's not very old, but he's obsessed with Jews are running the world.
00:04:30.220Another weird thing about the Jews running the world, just a side note, is the people who are saying the Jews run the world and who are mad about it.
00:04:50.060They didn't make anything of themselves.
00:04:52.320And now they have an Instagram account and they have a fake profile picture of a picture of a cat or a picture of some sort of Roman statue or something like that.
00:05:08.400And they just now they're, you know, they're unemployed, but they're like a genius on the Internet.
00:05:14.420Apparently everybody's like, oh, these, you know, oh, he finally somebody debunked the Holocaust.
00:05:19.580And that's everybody's supposed to just go, oh, look, these are these are the real intellectuals.
00:05:25.700But Jordan Peterson has fallen into the trap of.
00:05:31.280Basically going head to head with this.
00:05:34.800Nick Fuentes guy and the stupidest thing that Jordan Peterson did was he called Nick Fuentes a rat and then Nick Fuentes, of course, believes the Jews are rats.
00:05:44.760So then when Nick Fuentes called Jews rats, Michaela Peterson, who I grew up with, actually, in that in I grew up in the same area of Seton Village near the annex in Toronto as the Peterson family wasn't as rich as them.
00:06:01.980Well, definitely not as rich as them now.
00:06:03.440Maybe at one point we were our families were slightly on par, but Michaela replied to, you know, a Nick Fuentes tweet or saying that, you know, you can't it's going too far.
00:07:21.240Yeah, I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here, but it seems the people on the right who now hate Jews.
00:07:27.660But they're feeding into the hatred of Jews from the left that's on the left.
00:07:36.440Like there are people on the left who secretly love Nick Fuentes now.
00:07:41.700And if anything, he's bolstering that camp and making more people probably vote left because the left seems like it would be more likely to deviate from Israel and all this stuff.
00:08:00.360And, you know, once that happens, I don't know.
00:08:03.200Then what then the Nick Fuentes is of the world will rejoice that the Muslims are now more accepted than Jews.
00:08:19.560And I don't want to fucking sit here and say that Jews and, you know, I unequivocally support anything a Jew does, even if it's Jeffrey Epstein.
00:08:29.740I just want to say that, look, when the Jews moved to America and they started Hollywood, which is this is another big complaint of everybody.
00:08:41.220They go Jews started Hollywood and Jews created porn and Jews created this industry.
00:08:48.460It's like, and and what did you create a Twitter account where you complain about it and then blame Jews for complaining too much?
00:08:57.520It's the hypocrisies that are happening before our eyes and the gaslighting is just insane.
00:09:08.820But please, for the love of God, my idols or I mean, I don't know, but like I do look up, obviously, to Jordan Peterson.
00:09:28.400I don't because I don't I think that our personal mental well-being might be more important than getting in fights and arguments with people who disagree with us to try and prove our point.
00:09:45.280We're at a point now where whatever people believe they're never going to not believe that they people are now stuck in their ways, whether they whatever they believe happened with covid, whatever, whatever they believe happened with January 6th, with with Trump, with elections, with election integrity, with election fraud, with immigration.
00:10:09.340And the people are not going to change their minds anymore.
00:10:15.560We have, you know, the whole idea that we're, you know, as a politician, I'm going to win over the hearts and minds.
00:11:08.180In some ways, I like Gad's tactics a little bit more than Jordan Peterson's when it comes to messing with the trolls.
00:11:16.760But the but still, why retweet somebody who's writing basically gibberish can barely spell why retweet this guy and pretend like these people are anything or their opinions or anything.
00:11:35.240And this is partly, I think Gad and Peterson are of that age group where they still believe that every, you know, the society is kind of still functioning a little bit.
00:11:48.980Hey, let's have a little back and forth.
00:11:59.220That was the end of debates as far as I'm concerned, because one guy makes sense.
00:12:06.260One guy doesn't and it doesn't matter because the guy that doesn't make sense has already been preselected to be in power or to be the leader.
00:12:23.960I mean, this is an opinion, but I don't think it's in a coincidence that the majority of a country, the majority of the voters vote one way, which was for Marine Le Pen.
00:14:14.340The fact that a guy with a heavy German accent who looks like fucking Dana Carvey in Master of Disguise dressing up like a turtle is somehow in charge of this new global government that nobody voted for.
00:14:40.600They're just here now and they are people want to say the Jews are involved.
00:14:47.040Does Klaus Schwab look like a Jew to you?
00:14:51.360Klaus Schwab is about the most opposite of Jew you can get.
00:14:57.340And the U.N. and all these big globalist bodies don't like Israel.
00:20:08.920I mean, and there's this crazy acknowledgement by the left, too, where they're like, yeah, maybe if you vote for the right, things will get a little cheaper.
00:20:19.520Maybe it'll be a little easier to get a job.
00:20:22.260Maybe, you know, we'll protect the culture of the countries that we're representing a little bit more.
00:20:28.460And we'll be a little stricter on immigration.
00:22:14.340This is the other thing that they say.
00:22:16.320The Jews are responsible for the immigration because some or many of the people who run these non-government organizations that help immigrants get to Europe and to America are Jewish.
00:22:33.440But also, there's also Jews on the other side that hate those Jews.
00:24:33.600And so they mingle with Jews because there's a lot of rich Jews because they don't let their kids have a fucking cell phone from five years old.
00:24:42.560And they force their kids to study and they pay the extra money for the fucking tutor to teach them and the LSATs and prepping and put them in better schools.
00:24:55.720And there's Jews that aren't even rich that spend the majority of their money on their kids' educations and trying to get them to be better.
00:25:03.420But that's how the Jews got to where they were.
00:25:05.280After the Holocaust, most of them were fucking broke.
00:27:22.860And you want to call me whatever, Islamophobic or whatever bullshit.
00:27:27.260But the Muslim immigrants, if the wife is a hijab and shit, they do think differently than your average white guy who grew up in the suburbs of fucking Boston and who, you know, is a Bruins fan.
00:32:27.860But I prayed that the things that I was predicting and saying would not come true.
00:32:34.160And pretty much all of it has come true every day I try to forget about everything that happened during the pandemic in terms of just how fucked up it was for everybody.
00:32:46.280It was this collective awful time where if you want to know my story, I'll tell my story.
00:32:53.720So I quit my job doing commercial real estate in November of 2019 because I got signed with Yuck Yucks in April of 2019 and was working with them and was touring around and I wasn't making much money.
00:33:08.960I was making two to five hundred bucks a show with Yuck Yucks doing one or two gigs a week.
00:33:15.680Which isn't, by the way, it's not bad money for a young comic.
00:33:20.920And so I quit my commercial real estate job.
00:33:23.240Well, they kind of fired me because they were like, you don't come to the office anymore because I was sleeping in.
00:33:28.100Like I made decent money and I did some good deals at the commercial real estate job, office leasing, colliers.
00:33:36.620And they just knew that I didn't give a shit anymore.
00:35:24.280Living there with three dogs and she was hoarding and she just, you know, it was.
00:35:31.720I went back there to visit her one weekend and she had fallen and her whole arm was all bruised and her face was bruised and it was just horrific.
