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 0.96

00:06:39.440 reposting it on his instagram story and calling the girl hideous uh the guy my fan's girlfriend 0.82

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 1.00

00:07:02.180 to vancouver and you're like fuck these people i'm american who gives a fuck they're fucking dumb 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.99

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 0.90

00:07:38.100 right fucking tim dillan 0.96

00:07:41.880 epstein 0.99

00:07:45.060 weinstein weinstein

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 0.97

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 0.98

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 0.94

00:08:50.300 can still love somebody who is you know kind of retarded you still love them so 0.89

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 0.94

00:09:40.700 are just content looking at the fucking mountains and i get it because they're beautiful but ontario 0.98

00:09:46.940 doesn't have mountains so you look at the skyscraper more and then that makes you work harder and you 0.99

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 0.97

00:22:45.600 which is scary ukraine warns of nuclear disaster as russia orders staff to leave power plant 0.99

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 0.71

00:23:56.680 what the fuck is going on in the ukraine and we're just sitting here like

00:24:22.460 case of any emergencies oh great maria zakharova russian forest ministry spokesman said in a statement 0.98

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

00:25:06.360 confirmed ukraine's information i mean

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 0.94

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 0.96

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 1.00

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 0.99

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 1.00

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 0.94

00:26:22.400 that but you have to think about it like roman empire like when you used to see the roman like 0.99

00:26:27.800 when i took roman history at queen's university i'm actually educated you fucking losers and you'd see 0.97

00:26:34.780 the shifting like you the timeline you could change how many what year it was in roman history 0.98

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 0.85

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 0.79

00:27:07.800 walkie-talkies a little bit or like radio they had radio uh and and and sonar and shit but like 0.99

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 0.99

00:27:20.100 you were the king you you didn't have immediate you but you have these lands that you're ruling 0.99

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 0.67

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 1.00

00:28:22.040 that's my prediction i hope i mean i hope because fuck otherwise we all die 0.99

00:28:29.780 um vietnam bans barbie movie over south china sea map upcoming film includes nine dash line 0.99

00:28:39.880 illustrating china's claims which vietnam does not recognize can you believe this

00:29:03.740 barbie movie with with ryan gosling in it vietnam has banned warner bros highly anticipated blah blah 0.83

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 0.97

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 0.99

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 1.00

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 1.00

00:30:10.300 book from the children grade four classroom you you're you're an idiot they're not you can still 1.00

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 1.00

00:30:22.440 go to barnes and noble they have tons of gay shit the chinese government on monday announced new limits 0.98

00:30:28.780 on the exportation of two rare metals necessary for the production of semiconductors and electric vehicles 0.99

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 0.98

00:32:38.540 massive totalitarian country like china so part of the incentive for china to push the woke ideologies 0.94

00:32:49.220 push the green ideologies towards the west is they have all the fucking metals and resources and 1.00

00:32:57.260 renewables shit that the fucking little chinese kids mind bing bing bing in the mine mining out the 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.98

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 0.99

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 1.00

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 0.98

00:34:01.480 but it's perfect make do the fires that makes us more authoritarian more totalitarian 0.99

00:34:10.500 they don't give a shit about the environment in china they don't give a fuck about the environment 1.00

00:34:15.860 they might pretend to give a fuck about the environment they don't give a fuck about the 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.99

00:34:34.000 birds and they're fucking doing that times a million every fucking day in china there's little 0.90

00:34:39.700 kids swimming in computer chip waste either way china is benefiting off of our transition to 0.99

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 0.92

00:35:12.140 government bonds and then sell them the next day there's like a buy sell thing that's happening 0.98

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 0.99

00:35:33.100 fucking countryside and then you're going to have roaming packs of fucking indians in this country 1.00

00:35:37.940 in the countryside going around trying to kill white people with fucking that's what i think 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.94

00:36:02.400 say the government's doing it or it's probably just the fucking weather to be honest because the 0.99

00:36:07.940 weather's always shit and people always die in tornadoes and shit but like here destructive 0.99

00:36:13.300 alberta tornadoes stronger than 95 percent that touchdown in canada handful of homes completely 0.99

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 0.98

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 0.99

00:36:29.200 one day after the apocalypse and destroys your house and there's no infrastructure there's no 0.99

00:36:34.760 ambulance there's no nothing so i'm just saying we're really all fucked even the people who are 0.99

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 1.00

00:36:46.840 barn in the middle of nowhere not for long because you're either going to get killed by roaming 0.99

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 0.91

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

00:37:44.760 um

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 0.85

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 1.00

00:38:49.500 don't call it frustrated they call not disgruntled they disenfranchised they're just so disenfranchised 0.92

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 0.95

00:39:04.780 in paris you are disenfranchised come on i mean so they didn't want to transition speaking of transitions 0.85

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 0.99

00:39:17.280 fuck these fucking french frogs which part of me understands to be honest but you moved there i 1.00

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 1.00

00:39:27.080 in paris i don't live in whatever fucking other african colonies they have so you guys moved there 1.00

00:39:35.380 you took you risked your life you on a fucking ship to cross the mediterranean and you came and now 0.99

00:39:43.440 you're disenfranchised so you're destroying the country and now you're gonna it's gonna send 1.00

00:39:50.420 shockwaves through the west and this has been planned i mean not planned in the same way that 0.94

00:39:55.740 people say oh the pandemic was planned this is planned in the sense that i think muslims kind of 0.99

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 0.82

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 0.95

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 0.94

00:42:10.440 like

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
