Based Camp - Africans Rise Up Against Illegal Immigration (Fatigue Maxing)

00:00:00.000 We are here to fight against the foreign nationals that are taking advantage of our economic freedom in our country. 0.51

00:00:06.240 We are being labeled as xenophobic, and that is not the point. 1.00

00:00:10.480 So what are the protests like? 0.94

00:00:12.380 You're sure this guy was black, so we're not going to get the channel taken down? 0.98

00:00:15.200 Yeah, yes. 0.89

00:00:16.260 Okay, good. 1.00

00:00:16.760 We are sick and tired with the Somalians, with the Pakistanis, with the Nigerians, and all illegal immigrants in this country. 0.94

00:00:27.080 These protesters say they're declaring war on illegal immigration

00:00:30.860 and want to take their complaints right to the doorsteps of embassies across Pretoria.

00:00:36.120 The protesters here plan to raise issue with the Somali government

00:00:41.300 about activities of their citizens in the country.

00:00:44.720 The group, who were wearing Zulu traditional dress,

00:00:47.720 initially sat down before the embassy gate saying they want to show respect.

00:00:51.700 They demanded answers on a range of issues from crime to illegal immigration.

00:00:56.540 but things got tense when they were unhappy with the answers from the Somali representatives.

00:01:05.500 The group say they've given undocumented immigrants until the end of June to leave South Africa.

00:01:12.300 There's eight million young people that are not working in South Africa.

00:01:15.420 It is not xenophobia. It is eight million unemployed people.

00:01:20.860 Would you like to know more?

00:01:22.220 Hello, Malcolm. I'm excited to be speaking with you today,

00:01:25.100 because when i think of anti-immigration protests the image that pops into my head is is white people

00:01:29.600 being angry about non-white people entering their neighborhoods even though that's like not i know

00:01:34.460 that's not true but thank god one of our base camp listeners was like hey you should you should talk 0.81

00:01:40.320 about the anti-immigration protests in south africa it is black fatigue on an african scale

00:01:47.660 of black south africans being mad about black immigrants to south africa this is nothing to 0.94

00:01:54.600 do with us. I found some video footage of it that I'm going to play right here. 0.76

00:02:15.080 Oh, sorry. That was the wrong footage. That's going to get us in a lot of trouble.

00:02:18.500 Damn it, Malcolm. What are you, ah, you continue to speed run. 1.00

00:02:24.600 are do you not want to be on youtube what is i will bring you by the way that clip is like a

00:02:35.120 meme clip it's from a 1980s representation of homo erectus fighting neanderthals and white

00:02:41.340 populations by the way so you can't say i'm racist these are historically white populations 0.64

00:02:46.500 in fact africans they're the only people on earth that don't have any neanderthal dna 0.51

00:02:50.860 so technically i'm making fun of my own ancestors here no no that makes you right right right

00:02:55.280 because neander right oh my god right right of course i yep they have denosian dna though but

00:03:02.320 that's you know neither here nor there we did a separate episode on that that stuff well probably

00:03:07.660 multiple it's one of our spiciest episodes where we go over things that i was unaware of that there

00:03:13.600 are certain populations in africa today like the god i can't pronounce the cosan people that are

00:03:19.620 more distant genetically if you're looking not time-wise like their break-off wasn't earlier

00:03:24.760 but if you look at like i think it's s&p count or something they are more distant from europeans

00:03:29.320 than europeans are from neanderthals and a lot of people that's how it is in africa in general right

00:03:33.780 like there are different genetic strains or like what is it like sort of uh heritage backgrounds

00:03:40.500 that are more justified to be mad about immigration right yeah actually yeah no no no yeah they're

00:03:46.540 they're more different they're more different than like than europeans are from each other so

00:03:51.260 yeah yes yeah yeah or like people from latin america versus like irish people yeah like no

00:03:56.500 way more different but anyway south africa has seen a wave of anti-immigration sometimes some

00:04:01.860 people are describing it as anti-illegal immigration or or xenophobic if you're asking

00:04:06.260 human rights watch protests and violence human rights watch didn't care when they were killing 0.98

00:04:11.160 white farmers but the moment they start protesting black immigrants from even poorer countries they 0.93

00:04:16.400 freak out no but actually but actually we're gonna but actually i want to take time to point

00:04:22.520 out here that this isn't a racialist thing the groups that hate us hate us just because we are

00:04:28.820 disproportionately productive and technologically productive when contrasted with other groups and

00:04:34.520 that's why they hate the south african blacks that's why they want to see them replaced within 1.00

00:04:40.200 their own country and they're fighting back which we can learn something from yeah these started 0.85

00:04:45.800 breaking out in April. They're continuing this month. They're concentrated in major cities like

00:04:50.780 Pretoria and Johannesburg, Durban, and they're starting to spread to others. The momentum is

00:04:57.340 building, and so it's worth it for us to talk about this. So according to the BBC, at least,

00:05:01.780 the main driver is this citizen-led group called March and March, which is an interesting choice

00:05:08.540 of work. March and March advocates for stricter immigration enforcement. They want border control.

00:05:13.100 They want mass deportations of undocumented migrants, and they want prioritizing South 0.83

00:05:17.860 Africans for jobs, housing, and services. Doesn't that sound so familiar? Doesn't that sound a little 1.00

00:05:22.360 MAGA? Yeah, it does sound a little MAGA. It's like, oh my God. Are we going to call this Black MAGA?

00:05:29.600 Black MAGA. I like it. I like it. I like it. So the protests, they've drawn, they're big. We're

00:05:37.540 talking hundreds to thousands of participants, and they're doing things like marching on

00:05:42.800 government buildings like the union buildings in Pretoria. They're enforcing shop closures

00:05:48.220 by foreign-owned businesses. They're doing some cleanup campaigns. There's some also additional

00:05:56.280 groups that are getting involved. One is called Operation Dodula. They're a vigilante-style

00:06:01.060 anti-immigration movement, meaning push out in Zulu. We don't see something going this far in

00:06:07.040 America. If this was happening in the United States, they'd be like, I just know the white 0.99

00:06:12.780 racist allegations would just go like off the charts, but you know, whatever. Also, there's

00:06:17.900 another one called Action SA, Patriotic Alliance, and then there are other local forums like the

00:06:23.580 FACOZA Abahambe forum. And then there are additional political figures that are really

00:06:30.640 endorsing concerns, just like you'll see in any, I mean, obviously in the United States and the UK,

00:06:34.860 there are people who stand out as being like, immigration is a problem. And then they kind of

00:06:39.320 run on that platform. As CNN reports, and in my show notes on Patreon and Substack, I'm linking

00:06:45.020 to all my sources. There's an Instagram link you can see to like the news reports that I'm linking

00:06:49.740 to. Protesters are accusing the undocumented migrants, primarily from other African countries

00:06:55.220 and some Asians, but mostly other African countries, of taking jobs, engaging in crime

00:07:00.600 and drug dealing, overloading public services like health and housing in schools, and straining the

00:07:05.800 economy some issued a june 30th 2026 ultimatum for undocumented foreigners to leave saying like 0.92

00:07:12.840 if you don't leave by the end of june we're coming for you which we also haven't done

00:07:19.020 imagine if like like middle middle of america americans were doing this you know we'd be

00:07:25.080 defenestrated like they already are being defenestrated just for us wanting to enforce 0.94

00:07:28.680 our own laws some black south africans to actually yeah let's no so trump needs to expand 0.92

00:07:34.680 the whole white south african like refugee visa to include these these xenophobic um i would take 0.87

00:07:42.340 south african immigrants over somalians like let's let's stick them on the somalians right like

00:07:46.660 i mean they yeah oh god i just i can't it's just iliana robert wouldn't be able to do you you have 0.93

00:07:56.880 a mob go to her house i know the somalians wish wish that that only like you know jd vance was

00:08:03.360 coming after them right like they are lucky they are lucky and and i just i i wanted in in my

00:08:09.020 research for this to be super super sure that this like has nothing to do with white people

00:08:15.140 in south africa and yeah the protesters are primarily not only south african citizens but

00:08:20.320 from the poorer communities the unemployed youth township residents specifically and trust me

00:08:25.420 they're not white people in the townships we've been and and people in general feeling economic

00:08:29.680 pressure and i have footage from sky news that i found posted on reddit it's it should be reiterated

00:08:36.400 visually you did a skin check just to make sure yeah yeah it yes i did

00:08:48.960 okay you're good to go south africa okay to talk about because if it was right people we'd have

00:08:54.800 this video taken down in two seconds right we would be really no genuinely like i can't so

00:09:00.800 we'd be arrested we have the thought police at our door right now right and and remember hrc is

00:09:05.840 still very mad at these people in the townships people facing a country with 32 to 33 percent

00:09:13.040 unemployment okay they they're generally like you know we think we have it bad that that illegal

00:09:18.000 immigration is putting some pressure on job availability plus you know ai and all this stuff 1.00

00:09:22.720 but 32 to 33 percent and their social services are not good like ours so of course they're mad

00:09:29.900 and they're not they're not mad about indians coming in they're not bad about europeans coming

00:09:35.460 in they're mad about nigerians zimbabweans congolese ethiopians ghanians that's who they're 0.71

00:09:42.580 primarily mad about and that those countries keep issuing warnings to south africa they're like you

00:09:47.560 are being mean to our people you must stop like they're they're actually like submitting formal 0.82

00:09:53.420 complaints and stuff and i'm like i don't it's like stop sucking so much then like they're leaving 0.84

00:09:58.740 your country for a reason i don't know and so i also wanted to check just if immigration in south 0.71

00:10:04.900 africa is uniquely high vis-a-vis other countries or other african countries and south africa's

00:10:12.320 immigration levels aren't uniquely high by global standards though they do stand out within Africa

00:10:17.720 like it's South Africa is one of the countries that in Africa is doing like relatively okay

00:10:22.800 I guess so they are seeing and it's doing terribly by the way yeah but

00:10:28.860 because sometimes has some troubles and I mean if we're gonna be realistic I and I'm saying this

00:10:37.600 as like an objective reality of south africa south africa had a fairly strong economy then they

00:10:43.660 started acting in a way that scared away the european population within the country increasingly 0.98

00:10:49.200 and since then primarily due to political corruption in part due to black tribal 0.63

00:10:55.480 infighting within the political scene corruption has reached a level in the country where basic

00:11:00.560 businesses have failed to continue to operate electricity is constantly failing which means

00:11:05.520 that you can't easily have things like restaurants without you know because you can't have frozen

00:11:09.620 food you can't have refrigerated food you can't have without generators and then there are black

00:11:14.640 outs there are brand outs there there are giant holes in the we have a whole episode on it just

00:11:20.420 like south africa and under like the base camp youtube channel but but my point is is that

00:11:26.100 they're basically they're not really operating on their own anymore they're living off of a legacy

00:11:31.960 and slow decay out of that legacy yeah yeah so but you know still they had they once had and

00:11:39.520 they still kind of have some opportunity that many other places don't in fact when i when we did our

00:11:43.940 south africa episode i found a bunch of posts by white uk residents who'd moved to south africa to

00:11:53.440 work remotely there and enjoy you know the relatively low cost of living and like nice

00:11:58.180 gated communities, et cetera. Like they're, you know, anyway, it has things going for it, but

00:12:02.720 in terms of where they stand with immigration, South Africa has around 2.63 million international

00:12:11.320 migrants. That's about 4.1% of its total population. That's up from 3.2% in 1990 and 4.3% in 2010. So

00:12:24.040 it's not at like an all-time high but it's high-ish the global average is 3.7 of the world 0.97

00:12:29.480 population and in Africa overall it's 1.9 so they're certainly higher than average in Africa

00:12:35.300 though a few other African countries do have higher proportions of overall immigration due

00:12:40.820 to specific factors like they have even more economic opportunity or they're just more friendly

00:12:45.560 to hosting refugees like the Cote d'Ivoire I think Djibouti has a lot yeah 10.8 10.8 percent

00:12:53.860 have immigrants in Djibouti because there's a lot of I think people from Uganda Uganda and

00:13:00.580 Sudan oh my god showing up there but yeah most African countries are below two to three percent

00:13:06.820 so South Africa is is being relatively more flooded and I could see that you know putting

00:13:12.040 pressure on them yeah and you know vis-a-vis the United States and the UK and Canada it's

00:13:19.540 it's certainly not i mean like we okay i want to put this in context for people who do not

00:13:24.460 understand why south africa would be so freaked out by this um imagine if your country was this

00:13:28.880 close to africa and it was this easy to immigrate into your country like you'd be pretty pissed too

00:13:35.220 also the immigrants are they primarily muslim or are there any like religious tension here 0.94

00:13:40.160 from what i can understand it's not religious tension it's not about culture it's about

00:13:45.580 jobs and economic security and resources but just to be clear so like south africa is around 4.1

00:13:51.600 percent of the total population is immigrants australia which also has some tension right

00:13:57.180 31 to 32 percent canada 22 percent uk 17 to 18 percent usa 15.2 to 15.4 percent so all these

00:14:07.800 other countries where you know the citizens are getting way more shade for being like 0.98

00:14:14.100 uncomfortable with the immigration and we gotta get some south africans in here to handle our

00:14:18.720 immigration issues i know right like we're like three times their amount and we are we're being 0.99

00:14:23.880 we're being basically like oh come on in compared to them where they're like yeah if you're not out

00:14:29.380 by june 30th i'm just i'm just gonna say it's not gonna be good for you what okay can we can we do 0.99

00:14:36.800 that with america's black population like let's do that they're the ones who are getting their 0.89

00:14:40.480 jobs taken right you know and what are they yeah like we're they're silent in all this right like 0.99

00:14:45.660 i don't know if there's something like where journalists don't want to interview

00:14:50.200 um black americans when they're covering anti-integration because they're like

00:14:55.180 there's this unspoken thing of like oh i want i just want to make it look like oh my god why

00:15:01.380 why is this like his new thing is screaming it's this is not great for podcasting where they just

00:15:06.260 want to make it seem like it doesn't matter you can put him in the box or something simone

00:15:10.380 he's an infant he'll survive all right this the skinner box what did bf skinner call his baby box

00:15:16.660 again i don't remember but you know they used to put babies in like boxes and hang them out windows

00:15:21.000 oh no no that was just like a like cute 1950s product like an urban trendy i don't know how

00:15:27.780 much it was yeah where you hung a baby out a window no it was like people still buy boxes

00:15:33.900 like that for their cats now you could technically just buy one for your cat put a baby in it i i

00:15:39.440 mean you probably have cps called on you of course but anyway i don't i don't know what to do with

00:15:44.500 anyway let you know what by the way simone hilarious trend i learned about if you want to

00:15:51.020 if you want to spice it up with something else okay is ball maxing there's a community that try

00:15:56.740 to have and they do this through inflating them the perfect balls vice did an article on it

00:16:03.460 your faces have to do with south africa or nothing it's just hilarious i don't know

00:16:10.600 some of these people might be in south africa well i mean we could do that like in our episode

00:16:15.140 on like is kim kardashian a transhumanist and just talk about because also apparently like

00:16:19.380 a vaginal optimization is in

00:16:21.700 okay you know what i think maybe he can you can't hear it it's irrelevant so let's go to what like

00:16:30.580 some actual statements from these protesters to get a picture of what they're actually saying.

00:16:36.860 Right. So here are what some of the March on March leaders and protesters are saying. That's

00:16:44.560 that the primary group that's leading all these, if you recall, this is from, I'm going to butcher

00:16:50.300 this, Jacinta Ngobezi Zuma. He's the founder and national leader of March and March. These,

00:16:57.340 they are not victims if you walk down the roads you'll find that they take buildings there are

00:17:02.060 drugs there is prostitution there are cartels there are mafias so everything in this country 0.94

00:17:07.800 is a fertile ground for criminals to thrive we are under attack from across africa this only thing

00:17:14.020 that they do is label us as xenophobic there is nothing xenophobic about wanting law and order in

00:17:19.560 your country we are all these people are mega i know that the things like if you just take this

00:17:25.480 out of context and you're like according to like james brown like what's a really white sounding

00:17:32.340 name james carpenter from ohio you know like you're just gonna be like yeah of course we're

00:17:38.600 frustrated tired and feel ignored by our own government our demand is that our government 0.96

00:17:42.980 is moving at a snail's pace and addressing this issue of illegal immigrants oh my god right it 0.81

00:17:48.360 sounds so freaking like universal, so American, so UK. This is from Salit Sinele Nkambule. I'm so

00:17:59.080 sorry. This is the treasurer of March and March. Many spaza shops and informal businesses in the

00:18:04.940 townships are owned and run by foreign nationals without proper trading rights, placing an unfair 0.98

00:18:10.400 burden on citizens who pay taxes. He goes on to call for these shops to be run by South Africans

00:18:16.560 and he wants audits of immigrants a review of study visas and army deployment in high immigrant

00:18:22.080 areas and this is it's it sounds a little bit like an army deployment in high immigrant areas

00:18:28.640 but they want ice i haven't even thought of this yet come on we gotta no they just want ice they

00:18:33.620 want ice plus the national guard that is like exactly what we okay great okay yeah that's what

00:18:37.460 we need national guard in these neighborhoods yeah and then it here's what bbc quoted one

00:18:44.540 anonymous demonstrators saying as they filmed Pretoria March, we are grateful that we now

00:18:50.420 have groups like this that have come to aid the voice of what we have always been preaching about.

00:18:56.100 Illegal immigration is a big problem to our society. And then additional groups that have

00:19:02.560 been talking about this. Here is Fami Madondo. The immigration laws of the country have never

00:19:08.220 been enforced by the law enforcement agencies. And that's why we're sitting with all these crises.

00:19:13.140 we are stressing the fact that illegal foreigners in the country must leave he criticized ubuntu

00:19:18.740 narratives in this context also the narrative of ubuntu unfortunately is the nonsense that has put

00:19:24.480 us where we are today ubuntu does not mean that you must come into the country illegally which is

00:19:30.240 so like him it sounds like an american you know being like look you know we believe in helping

00:19:34.760 people who are in need but we have to take care you know of our own social services etc before we

00:19:39.040 let other people in so it's i i i mean what i like about him referring to ubuntu is that he's like

00:19:44.540 he's referring to sort of the african version of progressivism of like you have to help everyone

00:19:48.900 shut up and like just give everything away and he's like hold on i'm not gonna lie down and do

00:19:52.900 that here's to shepo totwe this is the he's the secretary of the abahambe movement and they're 0.57

00:19:59.620 also collaborating with march and march for people who are wondering what ubuntu is because i wanted

00:20:04.020 to look this up it is a profound southern african philosophy of humanism often translated as i am

00:20:11.820 because we are rooted in languages like zulu it emphasizes a collective well-being or universal

00:20:17.940 bond or the belief that all of humanity are shaped by our relationships with others and i'd point out

00:20:22.960 that this philosophy didn't go very far it went about a quarter as far as apparently it went in

00:20:28.760 the west right so be aware that these people may talk like they have these philosophies whenever

00:20:33.900 it's like, oh, these native whatever tribes in Africa, they have these wonderful progressive

00:20:38.580 ideas that hold for about this long. Okay, continue. So DeShepo says, we are here to partake

00:20:46.900 and collaborate with March on March on a progressive march that is involving different 0.99

00:20:52.120 organizations and also national forums to collaborate and fight against the foreign 1.00

00:20:56.580 nationals that are taking advantage of our economic freedom in our country. That is the 1.00

00:21:01.440 key purpose for us to indicate and send a message that we are being labeled as xenophobic and that

00:21:06.800 is not the point so what are the protests like you're sure this guy was black so we're not gonna

00:21:12.000 get the channel taken down i'm yeah yes okay good i did check and again i am i'm linking to my

00:21:18.440 sources you can literally watch the video this last quote was from you can see the video it's

00:21:23.420 on africanews.en or africanews.com all right just go to substack or patreon i link to my sources

00:21:30.560 his friends so what are the protests like well human rights watch surprise surprise in an article

00:21:37.020 citing the xenophobic attacks reports that some of the protests have escalated into vigilante actions

00:21:43.460 assaults on migrants including feedings shop attacks and reported deaths reported deaths

00:21:48.940 not confirmed deaths of nigerians and ethiotians those reported deaths of white farmers they really

00:21:54.320 didn't care much about just yeah who where are the deaths show me the bodies and intimidation

00:21:59.640 Human Rights Watch and others have noted insufficient police response in places.

00:22:04.720 Foreign governments like Ghana, Nigeria, and Kenya have issued warnings to their citizens

00:22:09.780 and in Ghana's case, offered evacuation flights with low uptake on one on reported instances. So

00:22:15.480 they're like, don't worry, we'll fly you back. And the migrants are like, yeah, I'm good. 1.00

00:22:22.100 they're gonna stay so what is the south african government doing in response as they communicate 0.99

00:22:30.280 on the official website of the presidency of the republic of south africa president cyril

00:22:36.060 ramiposa's administration and officials like the deputy president paul meshetale

00:22:42.520 condemn the violence they they call it vigilante lawlessness they acknowledge that there are some

00:22:49.500 legitimate grievances over illegal immigration, and they have highlighted that they are deporting

00:22:54.860 people, that they have deported over 100,000 people in recent years, and they've pledged

00:22:59.920 legal enforcement, but they also deny widespread xenophobia, and they call the incidents isolated

00:23:05.720 or criminal. But the larger media narrative about these protests, when you distill it all together,

00:23:12.860 is that they're being framed as this recurring pattern of xenophobic tensions in South Africa

00:23:18.280 during economic hardships. And they point that this is like echoing similar activities in 2008

00:23:26.780 and 2019. People are citing Operation Dudula activities. I don't know them. And basically,

00:23:34.040 they're trying to say that there are high inflows of migrants and refugees. And while you get this

00:23:42.040 with additional regional instability, which we've covered on other podcasts, and you have Porous

00:23:46.560 borders in competition for scarce economic opportunity you're gonna get stuff like this

00:23:52.440 but i find it very interesting that when people talk about immigration from a left-leaning

00:24:01.040 standpoint it's always xenophobia and people just being like just evil racists when it's super

00:24:08.960 clear like it doesn't matter if you're white if you're whatever like people don't like their jobs

00:24:16.360 being taken people don't like people breaking the laws of their countries and acting differently a

00:24:23.520 lot of these other african populations like somalis and people are wondering why i said like 0.97

00:24:27.660 we gotta get they're they're a population that essentially specializes in fraud right like

00:24:32.960 obviously not every somalian is a fraudster but we're looking at rates in some of these 0.98

00:24:37.080 communities that are over 50 percent like it is astonishing the rate of fraud that we're getting 0.98

00:24:42.940 in some of these communities this for example was the somali immigrant community i think it was 0.97

00:24:47.040 84 percent of somalian immigrants are on welfare like why are you bringing in a population and then

00:24:53.540 what was shocking is then somebody said well somalians earn more than the average american

00:24:58.000 and i was like and i looked it up and it's true like this is just fraud so just to double click

00:25:05.460 on these numbers here it is 81 of somalian households are on welfare 89 of somalian

00:25:12.620 households with children are on welfare and that is way higher than any other immigrant group that

00:25:18.680 is an astonishingly high number and even after 10 years in the united states the rates remain at

00:25:23.940 around those numbers and yet if you look at the average somalian reported income in the united 0.99

00:25:29.520 states it's 70 to 80 000 per household this makes no sense unless they're predominantly making money 0.91

00:25:37.240 through fraud yeah we did another episode on ethnic cartels like the patel motels and all the

00:25:43.800 indonesian nail salons in california and it's super common this is this is not more to any 0.94

00:25:48.800 particular ethnic group but for especially immigrant groups disproportionately do fraud

00:25:54.740 like we've got to be realistic but no i mean it doesn't have to be fraud it's basically

00:25:58.500 if an ethnic group especially immigrant groups find an economic niche often of like

00:26:07.240 not glamorous or desirable work if fraud can fall into that but so can like running motels 0.62

00:26:13.320 or doing nail salons right low okay often skirt laws owners right there i know what i'm saying

00:26:18.740 is this is i'm trying to point to this just being a natural economic dynamic that happens

00:26:24.380 with immigrant groups and it just so happens that the ethnic cartel that many somalis have 0.74

00:26:30.620 formed in many states is around like the business model of fraud how big a part of their culture it 0.96

00:26:37.500 is when us aid was shut down by the trump administration somalia and a bunch of human

00:26:43.200 rights groups put up these giant like warnings saying that somalia's economy collapsed hold on

00:26:49.520 i want to see what was the person i want to get this number right and you're talking about the

00:26:53.860 foreign nation of somalia not living in america they had estimated that the freezing of usa funding

00:27:00.420 represented an economic exposure equivalent of a 9% of Somalia's gross national income.

00:27:06.720 9% of their gross national income was coming from USA. And that's just USAID. We're not talking

00:27:12.640 about potential remittances being done. Sorry. Oh, by the fraudsters that are in the United States.

00:27:18.300 Yeah. Because you know, that USAID being shut down didn't change all of the autism services,

00:27:24.460 all of the medicare services all of the home health and transportation and etc services that 0.92

00:27:33.300 somalians were apparently daycares fraudulently running in the united states so yeah we'll see

00:27:40.460 we'll see if i mean i was really intrigued when the trump administration announced that jd vance

00:27:45.880 would be like the fraud czar in the united states i haven't heard any updates from that oh really

00:27:51.580 he's done a really good job so he shut down tons this is in california of hospices that were fake

00:27:57.360 um really so he followed through yeah he shut down four times the amount that gavin newsom has

00:28:04.260 since he took power and then gavin newsom tried to claim that he had actually done the shutdowns

00:28:09.560 are you kidding me no left out about them doing the shutdowns and he tried to act like he was the

00:28:15.100 one who managed it all yeah god i think tim waltz did something similar when a couple take care oh

00:28:25.280 they did yeah tim waltz did they went to they she's like we did it guys and then he acted like

00:28:30.500 and they're like tim waltz's department has done nothing to help us at all like i do not know why

00:28:34.840 he's taking credit for this golly that's so bad oh my gosh this though really it helps to fix

00:28:42.660 something and the other thing that this news really hammered home for me was just how effective

00:28:51.320 the media narrative has been just in my subconscious in making me just my evoked set of

00:28:59.200 like anti-immigration protests means white people getting their their panties in a bunch you know

00:29:05.540 like i i know logically that that's not what it's about and yet the just the the coverage of it from

00:29:13.100 that angle is so pervasive well and i find it interesting that black like in the united states

00:29:20.100 i do not think blacks would make this same sort of argument but these people seem to genuinely be

00:29:24.640 concerned that people are going to label them as xenophobic right like i love it that there's like

00:29:29.580 black south africans saying there are black people in america who would not want to say that they're

00:29:34.580 they don't they don't in america you get such a pass for being black you know they're not going

00:29:39.100 to immediately come out and be like i'm not saying this because i'm a racist but in south africa the

00:29:44.480 black protesters are like i want to be clear this is not xenophobia yeah that is interesting yeah

00:29:51.840 you make a good point there i've been watching a lot more on american history and like the idea

00:29:57.000 that america was ever a country where endless immigration from any population was something

00:30:02.960 that we wanted that is not true of historic america we were very very strict about who

00:30:08.400 could immigrate into the country we were very very strict about who could enter our communities

00:30:12.160 who could integrate into our communities you know like i obviously what really broke the 1.00

00:30:18.200 dam on all of this was the integration of catholics into america it's factually true 0.94

00:30:24.440 everyone you can reset your counters back to zero catholic alert take a shot if you study american 0.99

00:30:31.160 history is factually true that's where we first allowed a really large immigrant group that

00:30:36.620 didn't have american culture or american values and was unable to persistently integrate into

00:30:42.060 american values which is really which which when we made that normalization like anyone can integrate

00:30:48.640 anyone can become america even if they're still catholic three generations in or something like

00:30:52.800 that yeah that is when uh i think we sort of set the tide where no now we're a country that accepts

00:30:59.400 anyone now we're a country that's just like wherever you are anywhere in the world if it's

00:31:05.560 hard for you just come to america because that wasn't the original goal of the you know the

00:31:12.320 puritans or the congregationalists or the uh you know original american religious communities i've

00:31:18.080 been doing more research recently on the original great awakening which is really fascinating and

00:31:22.640 sort of how it built the american so fun information simone because i probably won't do

00:31:27.420 full episode because i don't think our audience can stomach just education um but what what was

00:31:33.820 a really big part of the great awakening is when it started you typically only had creatures that

00:31:38.940 were regional and they began to have traveling preachers and the traveling preachers were really

00:31:44.380 hated by the local preachers because you're supposed to only have like one church in an

00:31:47.500 area and everybody went to that church yeah and in some settlements you could only get into that

00:31:51.580 church if you had had you know a a specific type of like religious awakening even so it wasn't

00:31:57.740 like everyone had to go to the church it was one local church was an option and getting in was

00:32:01.880 exclusive and so then these traveling preachers began to become popular and people really hated

00:32:08.260 it because they were competing with the traveling preachers but the traveling preachers ended up

00:32:12.400 sort of spreading and creating a cross american religious identity that was very it took parts of

00:32:20.400 of various original protestant american groups and sort of formed a pan-american religious

00:32:25.920 conversation where things that they would do during the great awakening that hadn't really

00:32:30.620 been done before were things like religions of different protestant theologies teaching together

00:32:35.960 or going on tour together and people thought this was very scandalous right like how could you do 0.91

00:32:40.000 this and they're like no no no like we come on guys we agree we hate catholics but like it's okay

00:32:45.480 that we're preaching together right like we we agree on the important stuff okay and this

00:32:50.060 created this idea that various protestant groups can have communing with each other

00:32:54.360 which was not widely agreed upon either outside of america or in america before this

00:32:58.720 so that is really interesting that is fun and also i'm i'm interested to see how these protests

00:33:08.440 unfurl huge thanks to you know who you are the base camp listener who suggested this episode

00:33:14.200 i had no idea i don't know like this isn't in at least the new york time it doesn't fit the

00:33:19.600 narrative they don't want you to know about it yeah i don't see people discussing it on x i don't

00:33:23.660 see the new york times talking about it it's not on like drudge report so thank you can we get like

00:33:28.500 based africans to form a part of the community i mean i know we actually have a significant fan

00:33:33.640 base in africa so yeah yeah that would be that would be fun that'd be fun you know in terms of

00:33:41.220 where the future of the world goes it'd be a lot of fun yeah so let's let's build up that that 1.00

00:33:46.640 African community obviously stay in Africa you know I'm not saying come over here what I don't 1.00

00:33:54.240 know I think we need more based Africans here you do need more based Africans here yeah true 1.00

00:33:58.960 actually come on come on over friends if you're if you're willing to help us get rid of the fraudsters 1.00

00:34:04.520 again I mean I think where we where we fall down on immigration is you you can stay if you are a net

00:34:13.020 tax contributor. I think like if we just made that the one immigration policy,

00:34:18.420 we would be super fine with immigration. The one rule. If your household is a net tax contributor, 0.92

00:34:28.780 you can stay. If you are not, you can see yourself out. It's fine. Okay. Okay. Okay. Great.

00:34:39.160 see then you can have both porous borders and general so generous social services yeah no i

00:34:44.340 agree that's really all you have to do and you could remove the racism right like just say

00:34:47.540 anyone who's i don't care anyone who's no matter where you're from yep and it's also not one of

00:34:53.000 those like ticket price things we're like oh well you have to pay like you know this much to

00:34:56.740 get in or like invest in a company or something it's no just like hey

00:35:00.660 it looks like you were negative this month

00:35:04.160 thank you it was lovely having you here you are now dismissed

00:35:08.840 goodbye back and never can come back yep that was your chance it's over yeah yep i think it's fine

00:35:18.480 people are like that's too harsh and it's like you can just not take government money right like if

00:35:22.540 you lose a job or something you don't need to yeah like you can you can you know ask a church

00:35:28.080 community to you know take care of you that month or any number of things

00:35:32.240 is google ads harassing you again google is very aggressive with their ad campaign

00:35:40.320 no i think people have discovered that ads really don't make money anymore

00:35:45.940 so check out our crap.ai any of our new features our super search are we're getting close to the

00:35:52.820 vtuber system being fully functional at this point might be by this episode but we're getting

00:35:57.580 close to oh we got the new based ai like literally yesterday i was like i'm gonna make a based ai

00:36:01.780 it's up it's operational try it out it even switches with alloy model into top ai models

00:36:07.880 with internet explain how and why it's based well it literally uses a prompt injection that

00:36:12.560 you can change that keeps it from being too low so you know give it a try guys let us know what

00:36:20.300 you think yeah and anyway that is all goodbye yeah i've been i've been even with this putting

00:36:28.260 in more image generation services so we have like one of the fullest image generation you should

00:36:33.560 look at using rfab more for title card generation by the way we have all of the models that you're

00:36:38.700 using like black i personally find your prompt injections to be abrasive when it comes to image

00:36:44.500 gen then you can take them out i will i know i just they're literally simone they're just auto

00:36:51.460 added so you can just delete them i will i i just have to get over that i'm i'm sorry i'm a horrible

00:36:59.180 wife i'm a failure of a wife you are a failure of a wife does it use nano banana because that's

00:37:04.720 i think you can use nano banana okay you can use any of the major services simone so it has mid 0.96

00:37:10.240 journey nano banana black forest and it has all of those yes we actually don't have mid journey

00:37:16.100 because they don't have an api uh but that's the only one we don't have okay good i'll try it

00:37:21.380 tomorrow morning all right simone love you love you and i'm recording just so you know as you

00:37:27.980 adjust by the way i forgot to tell you last night when i was putting the kids to bed titan had

00:37:33.900 decided to make a bed on the like tumbling pads that we have she had a phone blanket and everything

00:37:42.820 she was all snuggled in and she looks up with me with that really serious look that she has

00:37:47.620 and she says mommy my heart is broken and i'm like titan what's wrong like are you okay why

00:37:55.300 are you sad what what's what's making you so sad and she just kept saying my heart is broken

00:38:03.540 yeah it's me i couldn't find a place to hang my door for that's why you need to hang it in the

00:38:09.140 the hallway where i said it then hang it up there again yes there's a nail right there tell him i'm

00:38:16.020 gonna eat cutish tonight if he doesn't stop bugging us he's going to eat cutish tonight

00:38:20.800 if you if you don't close the door and leave us alone while we record you can put the dark

00:38:26.420 board in the hallway though well at least he doesn't want am i abusive is this what an abusive

00:38:32.500 father does his friend to eat their kids his favorite his favorite chicken i love that like

00:38:38.580 actually we might eat our chickens yeah it's it's a real threat it's not like oh i'll eat your cat

00:38:44.540 you know it's like yeah no these are working animals they're yeah it's it's days are numbered

00:38:50.740 but anyway right she just kept saying her heart is broken i was just getting really worried i'm like

00:38:55.420 has something made you really sad like what's wrong and she like holds up it was that heart

00:39:03.000 keychain that my dad had given her which she was calling her balance time heart balance times

00:39:09.640 the balance time heart yes it had she'd like of course spontaneously disassembled the keychain

00:39:16.940 and it was a little bit broken it still looks she can still play with the heart part but

00:39:21.960 my heart is broken my heart is broken my heart i was so worried i'm like oh my god titan are you

00:39:30.320 okay you're an astonishingly good mother just her heart is broken

00:39:34.340 by the way suno is so much better now like with genres because like i only want more obscure stuff

00:39:41.920 and it used to only be good with you know country and pop and now i'm like okay you know make make

00:39:48.340 electro orchestral hip-hop make a chip tune make electro swing and it's really good like the stuff

00:39:54.920 that i like listening to instead of just i mean i like obviously i like country but you can only

00:39:59.240 make so many country songs yeah the interesting thing is i wanted to do full music video generation

00:40:05.400 on rfab and yeah it doesn't offer an api last i checked so i'm checking again right now but oh

00:40:10.040 to do the the song part yeah so you basically now would have to just do it to your song like

00:40:16.220 bring in your own song we do have not safe for work video generation now i got that working

00:40:21.940 that's what we really want well on most of the models which is frustrating but whatever

00:40:26.480 i think your average user probably wouldn't care as much about creating music videos as we would

00:40:34.220 because our kids love music videos so much but i don't know i still haven't watched someone's

00:40:39.760 commentary on youtube someone put out a video on like how the music video age is dead long live

00:40:45.300 the music video age like they're like both dead and not dead and i want to see what the thesis

00:40:49.600 is there but i don't know yet because i haven't watched the video anyway i will i'll kick off the

00:40:55.460 episode because i'm excited to talk about this and i'm glad you encouraged me to to do it so you
