00:00:29.080
they they hate bragging about anything even if they win some shitty comedy competition or
00:00:34.900
even if you know some other good thing happens to them they just have to feel like shit about it

followers who keep asking me you don't understand when you're a canadian you can't just go there you
00:03:16.460
can't just move i think when jim carrey was uh doing comedy he those guys were able to just
00:03:23.280
fucking drive down and do an audition and and they were like hey here's your green card it doesn't

and it's what i have to do to feed my child and keep my family um alive but like i said a lot of people
00:03:55.960
are it's comedy is a very dark industry it's a very dark industry filled with negativity and jealousy
00:04:04.840
and uh you really have to rise above it all and there's it's a lot there's a lot gaslighting
00:04:12.300

write it off on your taxes actually i don't know if that's true but maybe it is you're supporting an
00:05:55.560
artist it's a write-off in canada it's a write-off oh yeah yeah but yes welcome to the show
00:06:05.740
last night at my sold out show at the hastings racetrack
00:06:11.640
some of the people at my show mentioned that they like the show more than tim dillans
00:06:19.140
so we were just at i'm sorry tim i'm sorry i feel really bad but my girl said that ben
00:06:25.760
was way better than you that's her over there i'm so sorry it's true i had a better time tonight
00:06:29.900
than tim dillan oh shit i still love you now tim dillan saw that and ended up retweeting or
00:06:39.440
reposting it on his instagram story and calling the girl hideous uh the guy my fan's girlfriend
00:06:45.980
who came to the show who said that i was funnier than tim dillan now tim if you're watching
00:06:52.380
yeah it was funnier okay you're you're like you're a superstar okay you probably come to canada
00:07:02.180
to vancouver and you're like fuck these people i'm american who gives a fuck they're fucking dumb
00:07:07.140
canadians and you're fucking right but i'm also a dumb canadian and i relate to them on a different
00:07:12.440
level so i think that's part of it be honest um the other part of it is i'm i'm jewish so i'm
00:07:20.740
automatically funnier than tim dillan without having to really think that much just by going
00:07:28.980
i'm jewish people understand it people understand that that is who are the top comedians right now
00:07:47.500
i mean they're not comedians but they've they gave a lot of money to the arts can we admit that
00:07:54.900
they gave a lot of money to the arts so i'm just saying if we had more jews like epstein and weinstein
00:08:01.960
in the 30s maybe the holocaust wouldn't have happened because
00:08:07.620
hitler would have liked epstein and and uh weinstein so then maybe he would have thought twice
00:08:15.640
so that was pretty exciting though and my opening acts i did not fly armin or bobby or daniel
00:08:24.660
boardman to the show in vancouver instead i opted for two of my friends here byron bertram and uh
00:08:32.620
quinn beasley and they both did pretty good okay pretty good i went on stage and called them
00:08:39.000
retards as soon as i got on there they weren't expecting that they were a little shocked but
00:08:44.140
they were a little retarded and i still love them and you can still that's that's how it is folks you
00:08:50.300
can still love somebody who is you know kind of retarded you still love them so
00:08:58.680
my experience was great 135 people uh we were turning people away at the door
00:09:06.660
sold a bunch of shirts everybody had a good time vancouver but vancouverites aren't they're not as
00:09:13.780
loose it's a west coast vibe everybody here is kind of they're okay driving a 15 year old car and
00:09:22.640
you know not really having any goals or aspirations and just kind of coasting through life that's the
00:09:28.420
west coast thing and i get it it's the same and i think in the states i don't know but i mean
00:09:34.760
people like to have expensive cars i guess there's ferraris and shit around but the average folks here
00:09:40.700
are just content looking at the fucking mountains and i get it because they're beautiful but ontario
00:09:46.940
doesn't have mountains so you look at the skyscraper more and then that makes you work harder and you
00:09:51.360
become more successful and more powerful on the east coast maybe i don't know but that's canada
00:09:56.040
could be different other places but that's canada maybe east coast is where the money's made
00:10:02.220
i hate to say it but people in calgary i know who fought well fucking calgary we got fucking oil money
00:10:10.280
there bud have you ever met a toronto real estate developer i think they make more money than
00:10:22.700
the guy you know in fort mcmurray working 16 hour days with permanently black hands who you know he
00:10:31.320
brings in 600k a year does spends it all on blow and hookers i'm just saying are you building wealth or
00:10:38.960
are you one of these white people in fort mcmurray fort st john all these fort something towns these
00:10:46.360
frontier towns these blue collar towns and you have really well white people with huge incomes
00:10:53.440
living in a 300 000 house with making 600k blowing it all on you know fucking chicks and hookers and blow
00:11:02.440
and just saying everybody in the west coast is a little slow and in a in a kind of a cool way i get
00:11:10.240
it that's why there's so many fucking homeless heroin addicts because your whole lifestyle kind of is
00:11:14.420
leading to that when you live in the west coast it's just like eventually you uh everything i'm so
00:11:20.260
chill everybody here i'm so chill man i'm so chill and then you're so chill that you end up you know
00:11:26.640
slumped over on the side of east hastings with the fucking heroin needles to hang hanging out of your arm
00:11:32.420
going i'm so chill that's that's what happened the guy in vancouver who started a quote-unquote
00:11:43.660
legal cocaine dispensary slash methamphetamine dispensary he ended up uh dead it's actually
00:11:53.960
really hard to find articles now like i noticed that with maybe that's the google thing but it's
00:11:58.520
like you have to like search for the exact wording of the article to get it if you just type in
00:12:03.860
vancouver even though you know it's a big article on twitter and everybody's sharing it on google that's
00:12:08.940
the beginning that's the beginning of this whole fucked up era that we're about to experience it's
00:12:14.720
going to be 10 times worse than fucking covid i'm absolutely terrified i'll be honest with you guys
00:12:19.260
i'm scared i'm killing it at comedy people like what's wrong why aren't you happier what i'm worried
00:12:25.120
i have a child the world seems like it's we're moving towards world war three okay china's got more
00:12:33.140
bigger navy than the u.s the u.s the u.s's navy is older being serviced maintenance a lot of
00:12:39.460
maintenance going on with their ships that terrifies me the whole fucking russia thing terrifies me
00:12:44.860
there is today uh something that we'll get into that there's potential for a nuclear explosion somewhere
00:12:53.100
it's terrifying anyway and and now you have this google shit where google is going to in canada not
00:13:03.080
let you in six months people don't even know what's happening people don't even know what's happening
00:13:07.640
the law was passed i believe it's bill c18 and or something like that and in six months there will
00:13:19.000
be no more news on google that's my understanding of this law that apparently canadians are okay with
00:13:25.020
and you know all the people who are okay with forced you know what and forced mask and all that bullshit
00:13:31.480
are definitely now showing their true colors even though they already did but they're showing them even
00:13:37.220

he wanted to work and he was afraid that he was he was terrified of the new world order he would
00:15:28.660
always talk about the new world order he read klaus schwab's book and came to the conclusion that he
00:15:35.200
should just get vaxxed because he was so scared of what he thought was about to happen just the
00:15:40.720
like just total totalitarianism so it just drove him nuts man and and a lot of people did not recover
00:15:49.500
from the pandemic and and just what's been happening over the last three years to people's minds you
00:15:55.440
know they're going why do people have these neurological disorders now there's this new
00:15:59.580
um you know neurological disorder happening i hate when fucking there we go uh mysterious brain
00:16:09.480
disorder strikes hundreds and cases are increasing this was the new york post today july 3rd across the
00:16:19.000
canadian province of new brunswick the number of people afflicted by a mysterious potentially deadly
00:16:23.860
brain ailment keeps growing neurological symptoms like hallucinations muscle wasting vision
00:16:29.280
problems memory loss and abnormal movements were seen in 2015 in a small cluster of patients
00:16:35.840
eventually growing to 48 cases but somehow health experts and local residents say the number of
00:16:40.480
people with the condition is much higher maybe over 200 i mean this is this is fucked up and and this is
00:16:51.300
the type of the type of shit that the conspiracy guys were saying at the beginning of the starting to you know
00:17:02.800
what everybody via the the word that we're not allowed to say probably still not allowed to say
00:17:09.500
we're not allowed to say it and people act like that's normal people just walk around going it's totally
00:17:21.800
normal that there's just words i can't say now oh well i get retard and faggot because you know those are
00:17:27.780
offensive to retards and faggots no they're not faggots say faggot all the time so uh just like black people say
00:17:38.420
the n-word all the time it's offensive in context what by who's saying it but now these like i grew up
00:17:45.720
with lil wayne saying the n-word faggot retard all the words so what am i this is what i grew up with
00:17:54.740
we're the first generation that is supposed to completely abandon everything we grew up with
00:18:02.400
in our 30s we just grew up we just got 30 years old we just survived life and and watched a bunch
00:18:11.580
all the movies when we were kids and everything that was available to us and now we're supposed to
00:18:16.420
just unlearn everything that we learned the only reason that canada is afloat the only reason that the
00:18:23.940
first world nations are afloat is because people are killing it still and a lot of the people are
00:18:29.020
most of the people are killing it watched funny shit in the 90s and 2000s and watched south park and
00:18:36.200
think it's fucking hilarious so this is a bunch of bullshit right now um so like with trudeau and
00:18:42.520
shit it's like fuck him sorry like not like are you allowed to say that like just politically like
00:18:50.700
his policies are terrible like are terrible for when he talks about average canadians they're bad
00:18:58.540
for average canadians when you think of an average canadian you think of a guy who fucking he's got a
00:19:02.720
truck and he's fucking oh yeah buddy that i'm sorry but that's what a fucking average canadian is an
00:19:07.820
average canadian is not an immigrant that arrived here 15 minutes ago that that's an average canadian
00:19:12.640
right that's uber driver that that still has his phone set in fucking chinese mode is i'm sorry that
00:19:21.640
you can't oh but that's racist how can you say that chinese guy who just got here 15 minutes ago is a
00:19:26.100
is not a normal a regular average canadian because that's that's gaslighting that's psychotic that's
00:19:32.780
what this whole racism bullshit is it's gaslighting you into believing that everything any opposition to
00:19:41.800
the powerful people in the world is homophobic that's what the issue is it's that if you oppose
00:19:58.540
the government or you in canada you oppose trudeau then he's going to call you racist he's going to
00:20:05.240
categorize you as a homophobe as anti-science basically like trudeau's basically coming out
00:20:13.940
there and going oh yeah all the people who don't like me they're fucking retarded fuck them that's i
00:20:21.840
mean he might as well say that and honestly if he said that more people would vote for him and that's
00:20:25.860
what pierre paul aver is kind of saying now and he's being like no you're fucking stupid and it's
00:20:31.740
working because that's all you have to do is call the other guy a fucking idiot
00:20:35.060
i'm just saying this gaslighting of anything any oh well i don't know is immigration look what's
00:20:43.900
happening in france you think that the mass immigration is a good idea considering what's
00:20:48.960
happening in france oh that's racist you can't mention that you can't talk about what's that has
00:20:57.080
nothing to do with can't yes it does part of our country is french there's a lot of fucking people
00:21:07.860
in this country who are not happy and i don't know like if all the people on six buzz all the
00:21:15.040
youths all the angry 20 to 30 year old brown kids from brampton no offense but if they fucking
00:21:22.840
mobilize with all the uber drivers and all that we're fucked we're fucked there will be riots there
00:21:31.540
will be chaos and if we have a war with china that's what's going to happen anyway so sorry for
00:21:38.400
that little rant r.i.p to our man who passed away selling cocaine on the streets of vancouver
00:21:46.660
the venture was short-lived as it remains illegal to sell or traffic those drugs i love how this guy
00:21:54.440
poor guy gets a news article gets his first news in the news and he dies and jerry martin shown in
00:22:00.660
this photo taken in the philippines 2014 had a beautiful heart yeah it was a beautiful heart but
00:22:07.520
it still failed when he did too much fentanyl so r.i.p jerry martin
00:22:13.380
there's better ways to go submarine ferrari crash
00:22:20.960
overdose on your own fentanyl that you're selling to people and telling them it's safe
00:22:32.040
no offense no offense you have to nobody even says no offense anymore because they just assume that
00:22:40.860
everything is offensive this is what i'm talking about with the ukraine shit though
00:22:45.600
which is scary ukraine warns of nuclear disaster as russia orders staff to leave power plant
00:22:53.120
these are the articles we read every day now and and we're expected not to have a neurological disorder
00:23:00.360
international atomic energy agency found no visible minds at zaporzhizhia nuclear power station but still needs
00:23:08.900
better access ukrainian officials and intelligence officers warned russia could be preparing to blow up
00:23:15.640
a nuclear power station leading to a radioactive environmental disaster wow that sounds bad
00:23:22.680
according to ukrainian intelligence russian workers have been told to leave the power station
00:23:27.280
by july 5th there is a serious threat russia is technically ready to provoke a local explosion at
00:23:33.040
the plant which could lead to the release of dangerous substances into the air ukrainian
00:23:36.920
president zelensky said the spanish journalists in kiev over the weekend we're discussing all this with
00:23:42.080
our partners so that everyone understands why russia is doing this and put pressure on russian
00:23:46.600
federation politically so they don't even think about such a thing last week as the state of
00:23:52.140
emergency service of ukraine conducted radioactive safety drills
00:23:56.680
what the fuck is going on in the ukraine and we're just sitting here like
00:24:02.060
blood like la-di-da everything's gonna be fine you know i'm saving for my kids college and i'm just
00:24:10.260
you know i'm trying and then over there it's literally just we're prepping for nuclear weapons to
00:24:17.060
me it gets fucked the personnel uh remaining at the station were instructed to blame ukraine in
00:24:22.460
case of any emergencies oh great maria zakharova russian forest ministry spokesman said in a statement
00:24:29.680
the fact that ukrainian officials conducted radioactive safety drills and said additional
00:24:34.000
radiation measurement devices in several cities means kiev is preparing a false flag operation
00:24:38.780
however zakharova provided no evidence for her claim the plant is currently russian controlled
00:24:45.180
earlier this month ukrainian spy chief kurilo budinov said russia was ready to orchestrate a
00:24:54.120
technological disaster at the zipa zipa nuclear plant the post the part most likely to be blown up
00:25:00.880
would be the artificial pond needed to for cooling the international atomic energy agency has not
00:25:09.780
part of me almost thinks like the sooner the better like let's get this started so that
00:25:17.480
like this is fucking terrifying i saw another thing today that i couldn't find but it was one of those
00:25:23.300
like weird screenshots of like a reddit article or like a 4chan article it is a guy being like i work
00:25:29.460
for you know the united states government and he was saying that they are planning to blow that plant
00:25:36.820
up and say that it was russia and then be able to use tactical nukes on fucking moscow and all this
00:25:43.040
crazy shit and like who the fuck knows like the u.s could do some shit like that like they could
00:25:48.800
like they are a war machine and right now they are at war on two fronts already just it's not a hot war
00:25:59.620
but it's it's war i mean there are troops on the edges of uh the borders on either side of the empire
00:26:07.840
the empire stretches from basically like hawaii guam japan philippines all those vietnam
00:26:14.540
all the way to fucking ukraine and and to you know what used to be afghanistan though they abandoned
00:26:22.400
that but you have to think about it like roman empire like when you used to see the roman like
00:26:27.800
when i took roman history at queen's university i'm actually educated you fucking losers and you'd see
00:26:34.780
the shifting like you the timeline you could change how many what year it was in roman history
00:26:38.960
and the shifting of the empire how it changed the map because they were constantly going to war
00:26:46.860
they were constantly losing battles and then winning other battles and in roman times they didn't have
00:26:54.540
you know internet in i think in world war one they i think they had like the dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee
00:27:01.900
whatever the fuck that thing was morse code uh and in and i think in world war ii they had like
00:27:07.800
walkie-talkies a little bit or like radio they had radio uh and and and sonar and shit but like
00:27:14.920
in roman times they didn't know what the fuck was going on they didn't know what the fuck like if
00:27:20.100
you were the king you you didn't have immediate you but you have these lands that you're ruling
00:27:25.680
over way way over there and they would have these other guys um you know eat governors i think they
00:27:32.360
were governors um anyway i'm getting off topic my point is that the u.s is just an empire just like
00:27:43.340
rome that's more quickly connected and they've invented even the idea of that by having america
00:27:52.580
invented pretty much the internet and has created this set that this whole thing of the interconnectivity
00:27:59.200
of the world or at least played a big part in it and other countries are trying to be what america
00:28:05.940
was that's what china wants to do they want to be what america was and they want america to fall and
00:28:12.440
they want to be the new superpower but i don't know i think if we go to war i think america will still
00:28:18.080
win they will take casualties but america will they'll win
00:28:22.040
that's my prediction i hope i mean i hope because fuck otherwise we all die
00:28:29.780
um vietnam bans barbie movie over south china sea map upcoming film includes nine dash line
00:28:39.880

00:29:03.740
barbie movie with with ryan gosling in it vietnam has banned warner bros highly anticipated blah blah
00:29:10.620
blah barbie is the latest movie to be banned in vietnam for depicting china's controversial nine dash
00:29:16.160
line which was repudiated in an international arbitration ruling by a court in the hague of
00:29:22.620
2016 china refuses to recognize the ruling barbie starring margo robbie and ryan gosling was originally
00:29:29.280
slated to open in vietnam on july 21 the same date as in the united states
00:29:35.080
wow we do not grant a license for the american movie barbie to release in vietnam because it
00:29:40.840
contains the offending image of the nine dash line see this is what this is every country is
00:29:46.640
just becoming authoritarian in some fucked up way you know we can't you all ban this ban that don't
00:29:54.300
let you can't watch this can't watch that you know oh but gay books are okay but and then you know oh
00:30:01.120
and then when they say oh they're banning they're banning these books in schools you can still buy the
00:30:05.500
fucking book at a store you dumb bitch they're not banning it from the goddamn store they're banning the
00:30:10.300
book from the children grade four classroom you you're you're an idiot they're not you can still
00:30:17.180
go buy the book it's not like books are banned if you're in the states if you're in florida ban books
00:30:22.440
go to barnes and noble they have tons of gay shit the chinese government on monday announced new limits
00:30:28.780
on the exportation of two rare metals necessary for the production of semiconductors and electric vehicles
00:30:33.960
so electric vehicles are about to get more expensive phones cars everything again beginning august 1st the
00:30:45.160
chinese ministry of commerce said exports of the metals germanium and gallium will be allowed only if
00:30:51.340
exporters secure licenses with the ministry a move it called essential to protect national security and
00:30:56.620
interests although the ministry did not go into detail about the reasons for the new restrictions
00:31:01.520
an editorial in the state-owned china daily following the announcement blasted the netherlands for its
00:31:05.820
export controls on semiconductor components the editorial also noted that the u.s. and uh is home to the
00:31:12.600
largest germanium mines in the world but seldom exploits them russian belgium canada also produce germanium
00:31:21.400
while russia ukraine japan south korea also produce gallium china leads the world in total production of both
00:31:27.880
metals the country produces 650 000 kilograms of gallium per year 94 percent of global production
00:31:33.800
the nation has been dramatically increased uh increasing production since 2019 when environmental
00:31:38.960
measures curtailed the use of similar metals jesus the u.s. has no current domestic source of the metal
00:31:45.820
according to the u.s. president biden has pledged to ramp up the american transition to renewable energy
00:31:50.360
but the u.s. lacks domestic sources for many of the minerals necessary for the transition in may
00:31:55.040
beijing barred products made by american chip manufacturer micron technology from using key
00:32:00.680
infrastructure projects claiming the u.s. company's products presented a cyber security risk so
00:32:05.700
this is bad because now we kind of that kind of gives you insight into this whole green energy thing
00:32:16.520
and the globalism and how china is involved with the globalism and how china is working with the u.s.
00:32:24.180
secretly while also being at war with the u.s. while also trying to make the u.s. more chinese while also
00:32:31.360
the u.s. is becoming more chinese more authoritarian totalitarian because they are trying to fight a
00:32:38.540
massive totalitarian country like china so part of the incentive for china to push the woke ideologies
00:32:49.220
push the green ideologies towards the west is they have all the fucking metals and resources and
00:32:57.260
renewables shit that the fucking little chinese kids mind bing bing bing in the mine mining out the
00:33:03.540
big rock and so send and then another chinese kid hammers it for a while and then it's a little
00:33:12.940
computer chip and they'll put the iphone wall away right so that is happening and they know that
00:33:22.740
we're that we're benefiting from we're not really benefiting that's the thing is the climate's still
00:33:28.960
going to be fucked who the fuck knows china i think china personally this is my personal opinion i don't
00:33:33.980
care if it has no this i think they're they're attacking our forests i think they're firing laser
00:33:40.980
beams at our forests i think the government knows this i think the u.s government knows this i don't
00:33:47.020
think that they want to tell us right they don't want to tell us that that's happening so because
00:33:56.940
then we'd all freak out and go so we're under attack by china right and we would be and we are
00:34:01.480
but it's perfect make do the fires that makes us more authoritarian more totalitarian
00:34:10.500
they don't give a shit about the environment in china they don't give a fuck about the environment
00:34:15.860
they might pretend to give a fuck about the environment they don't give a fuck about the
00:34:19.820
environment okay not a living fuck you want to talk about oh russia blew up a dam or it wasn't the u.s
00:34:27.820
or was it ukraine and it's a it's a you know uh whatever ecocide and all the little fish and
00:34:34.000
birds and they're fucking doing that times a million every fucking day in china there's little
00:34:39.700
kids swimming in computer chip waste either way china is benefiting off of our transition to
00:34:50.300
renewable resources because they mine all the metals necessary and they're selling those metals to us
00:34:57.360
and we're borrowing money from them to buy it and not just borrowing money we are borrowing money
00:35:05.500
from them and then we are printing our own fucking money and then we're using our money to buy
00:35:12.140
government bonds and then sell them the next day there's like a buy sell thing that's happening
00:35:16.800
right now like the only thing that's keeping the economy afloat is just utter chaos we're just going
00:35:22.520
to inflate until infinity and all the countries collapse or we're going to go to war way before that
00:35:28.900
and then everything will collapse and the only people who are going to survive are the people in the
00:35:33.100
fucking countryside and then you're going to have roaming packs of fucking indians in this country
00:35:37.940
in the countryside going around trying to kill white people with fucking that's what i think
00:35:43.340
this country is headed for it am i i'm sorry i don't want to think that i want to be like no it's
00:35:48.960
going to be fine it doesn't look like it's going to be fine if you paying attention to anything
00:35:55.100
and if you if it is fine you're still more likely now there's all this weird weather people want to
00:36:02.400
say the government's doing it or it's probably just the fucking weather to be honest because the
00:36:07.940
weather's always shit and people always die in tornadoes and shit but like here destructive
00:36:13.300
alberta tornadoes stronger than 95 percent that touchdown in canada handful of homes completely
00:36:19.860
flattened so if you live oh i want to live in the middle of nowhere i'm going to escape the cities
00:36:23.660
i'm going to escape the apocalypse i'm going to have my own thing and then a fucking tornado comes
00:36:29.200
one day after the apocalypse and destroys your house and there's no infrastructure there's no
00:36:34.760
ambulance there's no nothing so i'm just saying we're really all fucked even the people who are
00:36:40.260
like i'm gonna go build a garden and then have live in a in a fucking igloo or a teepee or a fucking
00:36:46.840
barn in the middle of nowhere not for long because you're either going to get killed by roaming
00:36:52.680
packs of indians or tornadoes or maybe both at the same time okay i'm sorry that i gave you guys
00:37:03.820
such a bleak outlook for the next uh the next quarter here of of 2023 as we approach 2024 i just read
00:37:13.180
today that china is planning to invade taiwan by 2027 they'd like i read that china trying to overtake
00:37:20.780
taiwan by 20 by force by 2027 i mean this article is from a few months ago but it was also out today
00:37:27.780
but i guess you can't find articles on google anymore maybe twitter is the only place
00:37:32.820
well here's here's just a tweet my friend's son-in-law who's an officer in the air force
00:37:38.740
is training at pearl harbor he's being told they anticipate u.s to be at war with china by 2027
00:37:47.380
taiwan produces 60 percent of semiconductors and a shocking 93 percent of the most advanced chips
00:37:57.240
but the ci believes china wants to be ready to invade taiwan by 2027
00:38:00.700
this is the sixth french republic will be born in blood and baptized by fire in 2027 when france
00:38:11.260
also leaves nato and refuses to follow the anglo-saxons to the destruction at the hands of
00:38:16.000
russia and china so this is literally that's just some crazy person tweeting that but that crazy person
00:38:24.880
i believe is like there's like some arabic writing there so there's like a huge basically arab spring
00:38:31.360
is happening in paris okay you have north africans and arab people running through the streets uh
00:38:41.440
smashing windows a lot of them are new immigrants migrants frustrated you know what do they call they
00:38:49.500
don't call it frustrated they call not disgruntled they disenfranchised they're just so disenfranchised
00:38:56.160
whereas in you know in bombed out fucking libya they were like oh this is very good but oh in france
00:39:04.780
in paris you are disenfranchised come on i mean so they didn't want to transition speaking of transitions
00:39:12.500
they didn't transition into i want to be a french person i want to live in france they were just like
00:39:17.280
fuck these fucking french frogs which part of me understands to be honest but you moved there i
00:39:23.280
didn't move there i can think that because i don't live there i don't live in french canada i don't live
00:39:27.080
in paris i don't live in whatever fucking other african colonies they have so you guys moved there
00:39:35.380
you took you risked your life you on a fucking ship to cross the mediterranean and you came and now
00:39:43.440
you're disenfranchised so you're destroying the country and now you're gonna it's gonna send
00:39:50.420
shockwaves through the west and this has been planned i mean not planned in the same way that
00:39:55.740
people say oh the pandemic was planned this is planned in the sense that i think muslims kind of
00:40:01.860
planned it a bit right they're like let's all go to europe let's just keep going and have as many kids
00:40:07.240
as we can and strain their social you know systems take advantage of their liberal policies no offense
00:40:15.380
i'm just being honest here and they've done that and now they're riding and looting and it's potential
00:40:23.380
for civil war and you have this guy basically saying that he hopes that france doesn't help the anglophones
00:40:30.300
and sides with russia and china which is it's very possible one of the nato countries will
00:40:36.060
secede if not more than one and join russia and china out of fear to be destroyed in a nuclear holocaust so
00:40:47.280
welcome to the bankers show i guess is all i can tell you because be prepared i don't know am i
00:40:57.920
i'm terrified this is fucking scary um here's another article from south china morning post
00:41:10.500
which is of course allowed on twitter and google so i don't even know if this is a what kind of
00:41:17.780
fucking article this is xi jinping has yet to decide whether to order taiwan unification by 2027 top
00:41:24.480
military advisor chinese leader wants pla to develop capability by then and pentagon must modernize
00:41:30.940
to deter them must modernize how do we how do they modernize in four years we're fucked do you
00:41:38.620
understand we are fucked if the u.s gets their entire navy nuked at sea which i'm assuming if it was
00:41:48.520
full-on war if i was china i'd be like nuke them and nuke them that's what i would do so that happens
00:41:55.720
they take out like half the fucking shit they take out all the uh ships the u.s ships with fucking nukes
00:42:03.540
in the water and then the u.s nukes them and then they nuke the u.s i mean there's no
00:42:13.960
there's no way that they're going to modernize to the point where they're going to deter these guys
00:42:21.840
xi has publicly stated that he has challenged the people's liberation already developed the
00:42:27.220
military equipment capability to unify taiwan with china in 2027 so he didn't say i've decided
00:42:32.680
to attack and invade okay well that makes me feel a little better he has not decided to attack and
00:42:38.360
invade he's just wants the ability to do it which is fine because we we have that's the other weird
00:42:45.160
funny thing about american military strategies you know you can't really tell other militaries not to
00:42:52.840
build up their militaries because that's what the u.s is doing and i liked i was i was listening to one
00:42:59.160
it was like the general or something talking he was like well china doesn't want to play by the rules
00:43:03.100
and i like how he's like no these are the rules the american rules are the rules
00:43:07.000
and they're being challenged and it's a weird time to exist it's a weird time to
00:43:16.840
work it's a weird time to raise kids but guys you're gonna be strong okay i flew 4 000 kilometers
