Louder with Crowder - 🔴 Globalist Cities: A New World Order 2025-04-21 17:11

00:00:00.000 Put an end to some ridiculous DEI initiatives, powerful city leaders across the globe are doubling down, pushing this agenda harder than ever, all the way from Texas to Ohio to the UK.

00:00:13.000 Anti-DEI to me is anti-American.

00:00:17.000 It is not just three words, diversity, equity, inclusion.

00:00:21.000 It's not just policies.

00:00:23.000 It is the very ethos.

00:00:25.000 of the city of Cincinnati.

00:00:27.000 Inclusivity is a part of our charter or our city.

00:00:31.000 And now I'm being told that if we don't get rid of the words like inclusive and equality, that we're not going to get any money from the federal government.

00:00:40.000 We're not going to get any money from the state government.

00:00:43.000 We're not going to do anything like that.

00:00:45.000 We believe that immigrants and diversity are part of the one reason we have the fastest growing economy in the Midwest.

00:00:52.000 We believe that our diversity is a strength.

00:00:55.000 And we're going to continue to be a safe and welcoming place to people from all walks of life.

00:00:59.000 Because we think that's a huge competitive.

00:01:01.000 The same initiatives can be found in mayor's offices in cities like London, Munich, Paris, Gothenburg, Sweden, and maybe...

00:01:12.000 Most egregious of all, Belfast, Ireland, which is headed up by Mayor Mickey Murray.

00:01:17.000 This guy.

00:01:18.000 As the first citizen of Belfast, and the very first openly gay Lord Mayor of Belfast, I'm extremely excited to be leading this year's parade.

00:01:25.000 The theme of this year's festival is Love Your Mind, a message that is so incredibly important to our LGBTQIA plus community.

00:01:31.000 You're disproportionately affected by mental health issues.

00:01:34.000 The ladies love him. 0.96

00:01:37.000 And if you think that DEI precludes actual, well, I don't know.

00:01:42.000 Equality? Then f*** you. 1.00

00:01:45.000 at least according to Arlington Mayor Jim Ross. 0.99

00:01:47.000 Why can't you have excellence with equity?

00:01:49.000 Why can't the Asian American get into school because there are too many Asians in the school? 1.00

00:01:53.000 Why can't an Asian American get into school because there's too many Asians in the school? 1.00

00:01:58.000 Yes, there's a quota at your Ivy Leagues, and the Supreme Court literally struck it down because Asians were not being admitted based on their race.

00:02:06.000 So am I going to convince you of anything one way or the other on DEI?

00:02:10.000 I didn't think I would.

00:02:13.000 Hey, listen, I appreciate you coming out.

00:02:15.000 I knew you were going to get a little sound bite on this.

00:02:19.000 Here's the reality.

00:02:21.000 I gave you a real answer that there is nothing about DEI that's going to preclude anybody from being an excellent.

00:02:32.000 Tell me why the plane helicopter crash was based on DEI.

00:02:37.000 It wasn't.

00:02:39.000 All right.

00:02:41.000 Thanks for coming out.

00:02:42.000 Any other questions?

00:02:43.000 And what would a good globalist overlord be without a dash of climate policy?

00:02:50.000 At the local level, meeting specific needs and addressing the long-term needs.

00:02:55.000 Things like how we're going to address climate.

00:02:58.000 So will you be deflected?

00:02:59.000 I suppose I'm asking, would you be deflected in any way from Austin's net zero?

00:03:04.000 Or no?

00:03:05.000 No, no.

00:03:06.000 In fact, I anticipate that what you...

00:03:08.000 No, no.

00:03:08.000 Climate change is real.

00:03:12.000 We see it every day of the year.

00:03:16.000 I can paint a picture that climate change is as real as we are sitting up here. 0.82

00:03:22.000 And if you're convinced, contrary to that, you're not going to buy a damn thing I'm saying.

00:03:31.000 You're not.

00:03:32.000 So how do we address...

00:03:35.000 Those issues of climate change, do we just throw our hands up and say, well, it is what it is, we're just going to deal with it?

00:03:43.000 No, we don't.

00:03:44.000 We continue to educate those who are coming after us.

00:03:49.000 We are, number one, working to educate our citizens really around, you know, what is climate change.

00:03:57.000 Being as resilient as we can in our built environment.

00:04:00.000 And it's also looking to the future and understanding how climate change is going to affect migration and business investment.

00:04:06.000 So on the protection side, Cincinnati is proud to have the largest city-led solar farm in the country.

00:04:13.000 In fact, our city is actually net carbon neutral because we create from that solar farm and put into the grid as much, if not more, energy than our city buildings actually are used to consume.

00:04:28.000 We are one of seven cities in the world that got investments from Bloomberg Philanthropies to operationalized biochar, which is an entirely renewable resource that not only helps with stormwater mitigation, but also fertilizer,

00:04:43.000 and it's a carbon capture tool as well.

00:04:46.000 I can go on and on about biochar, but I see the eyes blazing over.

00:04:50.000 We also did the very hard work of rezoning our city in advance of Bus Rapid Transit, which will be coming to Cincinnati, which we're very excited about.

00:04:57.000 And so along our transit routes and in our neighborhood business districts, we have increased density and height and legalized multi-families in an extraordinary way, which we are hopeful will not just create more housing stability, but also over time,

00:05:13.000 particularly for a Midwest city, this is hard.

00:05:20.000 We're doing a lot.

00:05:21.000 We have a Green Cincinnati plan with very ambitious goals and we're on par to hit that.

00:05:27.000 Cities can do a profound amount of work.

00:05:30.000 The other thing we did was reformed our residential tax payment program to prioritize LEED certification because we know that 40% of the carbon emissions are coming from buildings.

00:05:42.000 A majority of people in the United States live in cities.

00:05:45.000 And so if cities are on the cutting edge of mitigating these climate impacts, we can make a profound change.

00:05:52.000 But on the flip side of that, you know, Ohio and Cincinnati in particular really benefit from our geographic location.

00:05:58.000 We're not seeing the wildfires and the droughts and the earthquakes and the hurricanes that a lot of other parts of our community are seeing.

00:06:05.000 But the Ohio River, we have a huge amount of fresh water that is accessible to us.

00:06:10.000 We believe that in the future, those two things are going to be competitive advantages, distinguishing us from other communities, which will make us a destination for climate migrants and other natural migrants, which we hope will continue to build our growth. 0.91

00:06:24.000 And so we're seeding investments right now to make sure that happens.

00:06:27.000 And you already see, you know, the insurance industry is basically upside down in the Gulf states.

00:06:32.000 It's going to get much more expensive to live in those communities.

00:06:35.000 And so we want to be a destination for folks who are looking to make a move.

00:06:39.000 Really quickly, I want you to focus on that last man, Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pirival.

00:06:45.000 His accomplishments include a failed run for the U.S. House of Representatives in 2018.

00:06:51.000 He was elected as Cincinnati mayor in 2021 with 65% of the vote and spoke at the 2024 DNC in support of Kamala Harris and is generally seen as a rising star within the party with all of the hallmarks of a young Obama type.

00:07:07.000 He is going to be a major player.

00:07:10.000 Now, we really know that initiatives like DEI and Climate Change Action, we know what they're actually about, right?

00:07:19.000 Ensuring predetermined outcomes and controlling what you can say, who you can criticize, what you can drive, where you can drive, and how often or when you can drive, even what you can eat for dinner.

00:07:31.000 What we're actually here to say is that you'll soon be eating crickets because, well, you have no choice.

00:07:37.000 But now we have the irrefutable proof that these mayors and city leaders around the world are pushing these agendas.

00:07:44.000 So what is the actual goal?

00:07:46.000 What do they want to achieve through all of this?

00:07:50.000 Well, like I just said, it's control.

00:07:54.000 And their plan to achieve that control outside of what we understand to be our democratic republic.

00:08:02.000 It's actually quite a brilliant plan.

00:08:08.000 little outright evil.

00:08:15.000 Cosmopolitanism. That's the endgame.

00:08:19.000 And the Bible.

00:08:22.000 You're an angel.

00:08:24.000 No, not that, though.

00:08:25.000 That would actually be preferable in this case.

00:08:29.000 Cosmo Magazine serves a preferable.

00:08:30.000 I didn't know what a frenulum was.

00:08:31.000 I'm talking about the ideology.

00:08:35.000 Of cosmopolitanism, which is defined by the Oxford Review as: Meaning

00:09:05.000 the citizen of the world, which highlights the notion of global citizenship.

00:09:14.000 What does it mean to be a global citizen?

00:09:16.000 To me, being a global citizen is understanding that everything's connected.

00:09:21.000 Making decisions based on the good of everyone, not just ourselves.

00:09:24.000 I am a global citizen.

00:09:26.000 Only one planet.

00:09:27.000 Walking people is the best way for you to be a global citizen.

00:09:30.000 We can't...

00:09:34.000 That is the world we're fighting for.

00:09:36.000 Because the world we want and the world we're envisioning is the world we're going to make, and it's going to be beautiful.

00:09:43.000 Now, the idea of the cosmopolitan, or the global citizen, which sounds nice to the uninitiated, but in practice is awful.

00:09:54.000 It's been promoted for a long time by the WDEF, the UN, the WHO, and world leaders like EU President Ursula von der Leyen.

00:10:02.000 And even record long hot streak day traders like Nancy Pelosi.

00:10:06.000 - This is something you can get through the mail.

00:10:09.000 - Okay.- You can run out.

00:10:12.000 - Oh my, wow.

00:10:14.000 It all sounds so nice though, doesn't it?

00:10:18.000 A better world where everyone gets along.

00:10:23.000 So why wouldn't people willingly submit?

00:10:27.000 To this ideology?

00:10:29.000 Well, because cosmopolitanism, or the idea of a global citizen, requires an adherence to another sociological concept.

00:10:39.000 Cultural relativism, or the idea that all cultures are created equal.

00:10:46.000 If all cultures are equal and all humans want the same thing, then achieving a utopia...

00:10:55.000 Should be a walk in the park.

00:10:56.000 But what if, in the real world, in something that you know, what if they're not?

00:11:07.000 What if not all cultures are created equal?

00:11:11.000 What if there's actually good and evil?

00:11:14.000 What if there's bad and good, or just okay and better?

00:11:20.000 What if it's a spectrum?

00:11:21.000 We'll get to that.

00:11:23.000 See, this is where the D in DEI really comes into play.

00:11:28.000 As the mayors at South by Southwest were all too happy to share 0.99

00:11:32.000 There's a whole lot of shit I don't know. 0.99

00:11:37.000 A whole lot that I don't know. 1.00

00:11:39.000 And one of the things I don't know is what it's like to be black.

00:11:44.000 Or what it's like to be Muslim.

00:11:47.000 Or what it's like to be a woman. 0.98

00:11:49.000 Or what it's like to be gay. 0.97

00:11:54.000 For a city like Cincinnati, which is a black city, 45% of my city is black. 0.68

00:12:02.000 That is inconsistent with our lived experience.

00:12:06.000 What all these prospective employers wanted to see.

00:12:10.000 Do you have a place where my Muslim, my black, my Latino, my Asian, my gay...

00:12:18.000 Employees are going to feel welcome and loved in your community?

00:12:22.000 You know, in Ohio, I've never met another Tibetan I wasn't related to.

00:12:25.000 So it's not, you know, there's not a lot of representation just of Asians and politics.

00:12:30.000 So, you know, if you see it, you can believe it.

00:12:32.000 I didn't really see it.

00:12:33.000 And so I didn't really take that passion that seriously until, you know, President Obama.

00:12:38.000 And without question, a historic figure, our first black president.

00:12:41.000 But I really identified with him because he was our first president with an ethnic name.

00:12:45.000 And kind of inspire me that no matter what you look like or where you're from.

00:12:49.000 I get what it's like to be a black man dating a white woman, holding hands with somebody walking down the street and seeing the looks that I get.

00:12:59.000 I don't get it because it's never happened to me.

00:13:03.000 A divisive form of politics.

00:13:05.000 Come in and set people one against another.

00:13:07.000 Sort of make people, working class people, hate each other.

00:13:10.000 Immigrants have helped make America great.

00:13:13.000 They've helped make...

00:13:14.000 Columbus is special and unique.

00:13:16.000 And we're going to continue to be a safe and welcoming place to people from all walks of life because we think that's a huge competitive advantage.

00:13:24.000 We think unlocking units, getting more units in the pipeline is the best way to fight homelessness.

00:13:31.000 It's the best way to address affordability.

00:13:34.000 And we think that's due to land use and incentives, not demonizing certain groups of people who are blaming our problems.

00:13:44.000 What you're thinking and you should be ashamed.

00:13:48.000 Hasn't the diversity shtick kind of ruined some cities? 1.00

00:13:53.000 Which ones?

00:13:54.000 Oh yeah, almost all of them?

00:13:56.000 Of 31 suspects following a crime spree in Cologne on New Year's Eve, more than half are asylum seekers.

00:14:04.000 Trying to cross at any price.

00:14:06.000 Migrants regularly tried to climb into trucks on the highway near Cali.

00:14:11.000 Allah is welcome.

00:14:17.000 Over the course of 24 hours, around 6,800 migrants disembarked from 120 boats.

00:14:24.000 That's a few hundred people more than Lampedusa's full-time population.

00:14:29.000 It wasn't students in classes, but migrants in the gym today at James Madison High School in Midwood.

00:14:35.000 And that did not sit well with parents who felt the administration put the shelter needs of asylum seekers ahead of the educational needs of kids.

00:14:43.000 It's been two days since they've been in the hospital with their children, who sleep outside.

00:14:48.000 *gunshot*

00:14:55.000 So yes, it could be argued that cosmopolitanism has been a mixed bag.

00:15:01.000 If that bag is mixed of flaming s**t, which is exactly why you've seen a sharp rise of staunch nationalist movements, like some would argue President Trump's MAGA, Germany's AFD, France's national rally, 0.83

00:15:17.000 Britain's reform, and especially Giorgio Maloney's pro-West brothers of Italy party. 0.80

00:15:22.000 But we are not of the codes.

00:15:25.000 We are people and we will defend our identity.

00:15:29.000 I am Giorgio.

00:15:32.000 I am a woman.

00:15:33.000 I am a mother.

00:15:34.000 I am Italian.

00:15:35.000 I am Christian.

00:15:36.000 You will not remove it.

00:15:41.000 Yeah, you can see why the cosmopolitans wouldn't be too fond of her. 0.94

00:15:48.000 This shows that nationalist movements Can win, right?

00:15:55.000 The globalist regime is in retreat in capitals from DC to Berlin, Paris to Rome.

00:16:01.000 The scary part is that globalism has really just morphed into a strategy controlled by metropolitan centers, like the aforementioned Berlin's, Paris's, other Western metropolises,

00:16:17.000 that then extend.

00:16:20.000 All of that influence and power to the country and the globe at large.

00:16:26.000 And surprisingly, the poster child for the whole thing might just be Manchester, UK, as described quite aptly by Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham.

00:16:37.000 And I think this is a new, to the UK, this is a new way of doing politics.

00:16:42.000 And I think it is an antidote to the turbulence and the division and the...

00:16:46.000 Kind of hate we see spewed out at a national level in countries around the world.

00:16:51.000 And I go very much with what Mayor Watson said at the end.

00:16:55.000 You know, if the 20th century was about the United Nations, the 21st should be about United Cities.

00:17:00.000 A network of cities who think place first before politics, who think how do we make progress together, dealing with the same challenges.

00:17:08.000 The network of cities, I think, needs to be a counterpoint to dysfunctional national politics that's overly tribal, overly divided.

00:17:17.000 And I absolutely believe, to answer your question, this is the right future of politics going forward.

00:17:27.000 There it is.

00:17:29.000 There it is.

00:17:30.000 The 21st century will be all about united cities.

00:17:34.000 Let me translate.

00:17:36.000 For those still struggling with this.

00:17:38.000 A group of interconnected cities run by elites with nothing in common with the average citizen and no allegiance to the state or its people will control the future of the world.

00:17:52.000 And what will that future look like if cities like Manchester have their say?

00:17:58.000 And in this world we're in right now, this becomes massively important.

00:18:04.000 Cities as places of equality, of progress, but progress with unity, with people together.

00:18:12.000 And sticking with that kind of notion of a place that is all about standing up for people, never walking on by on the other side.

00:18:21.000 And I think that's why this Austin-Manchester partnership...

00:18:25.000 Absolutely. It works economically, socially, politically.

00:18:29.000 And we are going to make it more than a piece of paper, aren't we?

00:18:33.000 But I think also, though, they want to live in a city that doesn't attack diversity policies, doesn't attack net zero, as we're hearing in the political space.

00:18:43.000 We won't be ever going in that direction.

00:18:46.000 In fact, we lean more into that in this moment because we think that that's important.

00:18:51.000 And we believe...

00:18:53.000 That is the kind of place that the coming generation wants to live in.

00:18:58.000 And that, I think, makes it an attractive place for investors.

00:19:02.000 Truthfully, I think we need to start building cities with public transport at the heart of it more than necessary.

00:19:08.000 We've had a car-dominated city, and I think there's a generation who may not want to own a car.

00:19:13.000 Sad, but that last part sounds familiar.

00:19:17.000 *music*

00:19:26.000 Don't worry, Mr. Burnham assured us his city is growing super fast and super equitably.

00:19:34.000 We're very proud of that fact, growing in 3% a year last decade.

00:19:41.000 I think though, the challenge ahead of Austin and the Manchester...

00:19:47.000 Is to keep growing and bringing more prosperity to our residents without selling our soul, without becoming soulless.

00:19:55.000 The next chapter for me, I think what we've done, and maybe Austin has done this as well, Kurt, what we've done is bring a lot of people into our city who weren't investing there before.

00:20:06.000 The BBC, the Bank of New York, Booking.com, Cloud Imperium we were talking to just the other day.

00:20:16.000 I think we've largely, not completely, but largely relocated people to kind of live in Manchester.

00:20:24.000 The next chapter for me is doing exactly what you are doing with Austin Beauty College.

00:20:29.000 So, where are all these new investments and transplants coming from?

00:20:35.000 Mostly the Gulf states and Saudi Arabia.

00:20:39.000 Also, Gulf royalty is buying up a lot of Manchester sports scene. 0.99

00:20:45.000 So in 2008, Man City was purchased by an Abu Dhabi-based investment firm owned by Sheikh Mansour.

00:20:51.000 And now, Qatar's Sheikh Yassim is actively trying to buy Manchester United.

00:20:57.000 It even, by the way, extends to residential properties, which are becoming increasingly expensive and unaffordable for Manchester natives.

00:21:06.000 Gentrification. It's fine when the Saudis and Qatari do it. 1.00

00:21:10.000 In 2019, a BBC investigation identified the ownership Of a new 77-unit complex in Manchester City Center.

00:21:19.000 Here are the numbers.

00:21:20.000 48 are owned by foreign buyers based in countries including Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia.

00:21:27.000 24 are owned by companies registered in the British Virgin Islands, which have no or pretty much no tax.

00:21:36.000 20 are owned by British property companies or buy-to-let landlords.

00:21:40.000 And finally, about nine.

00:21:47.000 Oh, and Burnham doesn't just outsource his cultural enrichment to the Middle East.

00:21:54.000 In September 2024, Burnham traveled to Beijing to promote partnerships between Northern English cities and China.

00:22:01.000 Ah, a friendship as old as time.

00:22:04.000 Good morning, my neighbours!

00:22:09.000 So high and low-low!

00:22:13.000 So really, this development is just courting rich foreigners, mostly from the Middle East, and is of no benefit to the Manchester public pretty much whatsoever.

00:22:25.000 At the same time, unsurprisingly, the city's demographics have changed.

00:22:34.000 The Christian population in 2011 was around 48.7%.

00:22:39.000 Ten years later, 2021, 36.2%.

00:22:42.000 In contrast, the Muslim population in 2011 was around 15.8%.

00:22:48.000 Ten years later, in 2021, 22.3%.

00:22:52.000 And this is reflective of Britain as a whole, where the most common name for newborn boys is Muhammad, which wouldn't even be top six.

00:23:06.000 Of my names for a newborn baby boy.

00:23:09.000 Now, you would think, or one could argue, that after years of evidence, it seems Islamic culture and Western culture may be irreconcilable.

00:23:24.000 Maybe British leaders should reconsider their stance.

00:23:28.000 Lucky for us, we were able to pose this exact question to Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham.

00:23:36.000 It's a super interesting panel.

00:23:37.000 I wasn't actually planning to ask any questions, but I do political coverage all over the world, and I just got back from Germany covering their elections.

00:23:45.000 And what I noticed in Germany, like with the AFD's rise, it's all driven off of immigration policy.

00:23:51.000 And actually, when I landed there, there was a stabbing at the Holocaust Memorial, and that has really driven Germany far to the right.

00:23:58.000 Or at least that's how people might describe it.

00:24:01.000 So I was hearing the population growth in your city.

00:24:04.000 I was wondering if you thought, like, because so much of that seems to mirror, like, an Islamic growth or Muslim growth is contributing to a lot of that.

00:24:12.000 Do you think there's going to be a point where there's like a compatibility issue with that population and the native British population, like we've seen in Germany and Italy and Hungary?

00:24:21.000 Well, it's obviously a kind of divisive climate that's out there in national politics around the world.

00:24:34.000 Are where the harm comes if politicians are making those kind of statements where, you know, they are, I don't know, creating hate between different people.

00:24:48.000 You know, hate crime is rising in cities.

00:24:50.000 But so are the terror attacks, right, from those groups exponentially.

00:24:54.000 I think you have to...

00:24:56.000 Work hard to build bridges between people.

00:24:58.000 People have to live together at the end of the day.

00:25:01.000 And we are lucky in that we've traditionally had a strong community cohesion that has stood us in good stead.

00:25:11.000 And it is about talking to communities all the time.

00:25:14.000 We have a large Jewish community.

00:25:15.000 We have a large Muslim community.

00:25:17.000 But we have a Jewish Muslim forum and there's dialogue.

00:25:21.000 We work with both sides.

00:25:24.000 It's also, though, about, you know, there's difficult issues not turning away from them.

00:25:30.000 So there's been an issue in the UK around the sexual exploitation of children, girls.

00:25:37.000 And when I came in as mayor, I said, we're going to have a review.

00:25:43.000 We're going to have an inquiry into how this was handled in the past.

00:25:47.000 Was it handled in the wrong way because of fear about upsetting communities?

00:25:51.000 Because that can never be the case when it comes to crime and sexual exploitation.

00:25:56.000 You can't let any concerns about community relations stop you investigating and prosecuting and convicting criminals.

00:26:06.000 What a lot of Europeans I've talked to would say though is we're importing that willingly. 0.99

00:26:10.000 We know.

00:26:11.000 That this is a culture that doesn't necessarily reflect our values and we're trying to integrate them.

00:26:16.000 I don't know personally where you're going with that.

00:26:18.000 I just want to know, are these people crazy or what's driving this narrative?

00:26:22.000 I think there's a lot of Islamophobia out there.

00:26:26.000 The Muslim community has lived in Greater Manchester for decades and we do it peacefully because all communities have...

00:26:40.000 Criminals and people who divide us. 1.00

00:26:43.000 We are, I would say, a pretty good model of people living side by side with each other.

00:26:48.000 And I don't accept the premise that one community is a problem and all the others are not.

00:26:54.000 I think that's a narrative that I'm not...

00:26:57.000 Yeah, I don't know.

00:26:59.000 Okay. Well, thank you.

00:27:00.000 I appreciate you taking the time.

00:27:01.000 Yes, sir.

00:27:02.000 Don't be tricked.

00:27:02.000 This problem isn't unique to the UK.

00:27:06.000 Leaders in middle America are all too happy to ignore the plight of their own citizens, too.

00:27:09.000 My question is for you, Mayor Ginter.

00:27:11.000 I'd like if you could clarify something or reaffirm some things for me.

00:27:17.000 The Columbus Dispatch yesterday reported apartment construction plummeted in 2024 in your city, and despite this ongoing housing crisis.

00:27:27.000 I know you say you're not a sanctuary city, but just in January you affirmed that all are welcome in Columbus, and I'd like to know, especially if we're talking about disruptions, what would you say to your citizens with this housing

00:27:42.000 crisis? Is this not a way that you can sort of prioritize them and their housing needs, especially since it's mostly minorities and young people that are disproportionately affected by the housing crisis?

00:27:55.000 Yeah, Columbus is America's opportunity city.

00:27:58.000 We believe that our diversity is in strength.

00:28:01.000 And if you talk to major employers, whether they're public like the Ohio State University or health systems or private companies, immigrants have helped make America great.

00:28:13.000 They helped make Columbus special and unique.

00:28:17.000 And we're going to continue to be a safe and welcoming place to people from all walks of life because we think that's a huge competitive advantage.

00:28:27.000 Units, getting more units in the pipeline is the best way to fight homelessness.

00:28:32.000 It's the best way to address affordability.

00:28:35.000 And we think that's through land use and incentives, not demonizing certain groups of people who are laying in our problems.

00:28:43.000 These issues existed before folks came to the United States and before they came to Columbus.

00:28:49.000 As I mentioned, there are systemic issues.

00:28:51.000 lot of our zoning codes and land use policies were based on the second iteration of redlining based on race and keeping certain people out so as we talk about all these issues I think it's important to make sure there's being accurate

00:29:07.000 complete and thorough and calling things what they are but Columbus is going to continue to thrive and succeed because we welcome the best and the brightest from all over

00:29:17.000 I understand, and I certainly appreciate that, especially when we're talking about immigrants.

00:29:22.000 It's a very broad category.

00:29:24.000 Specifically, though, I'm honing in on the undocumented issue, and I just want clarity on this specific point.

00:29:30.000 You've been married since 2016, good for growing the city, but you're still falling at almost half the rate of the apartments you need to grow.

00:29:37.000 Housing prices for single-family homes are up 52% since 2020 alone.

00:29:42.000 Is this not one area where your citizens can more quickly be prioritized?

00:29:47.000 If you do even, I know you say you're not single-family homes, but even assist with that, in the deep end of the book, here's a smart, ready answer.

00:29:54.000 We prioritize people and families, and we don't pick and choose winners and losers.

00:30:00.000 Columbus's future is big enough and bright enough for everybody.

00:30:06.000 So what does this all mean and what can we do about it?

00:30:12.000 Okay, what you have is a group of elites controlled by interests outside of the state instituting anti-nationalist globalist policies.

00:30:22.000 These elites and those doing their bidding are in direct competition, opposition to citizens of the Western world who have said time and time again, through their votes,

00:30:38.000 through their voices on public platforms, that enough is enough and that you don't want globalism, that you don't want unfettered immigration, and you don't want these elites consistently pushing their version of cultural What they have failed to do at the national level,

00:30:58.000 they're repackaging and planning for the city level.

00:31:03.000 And when you consider the disproportionate power that these cities have, it's actually not an insane plan.

00:31:10.000 It's actually kind of clever.

00:31:14.000 And that's the worst part.

00:31:15.000 These people, and I want to clearly define them, those on the left in positions of power, Internationally or locally, as we now understand, they view you as nothing more than an economic unit.

00:31:32.000 Who you are, your culture, your nation's history, your values, your ideals, the way you see the world, the way you see your country, the way you see other countries, the way you see all of these countries in relation to each other.

00:31:51.000 citizen of your country is

00:31:54.000 Country. Could not interest them less.

00:31:58.000 In fact, those qualities, those attributes that make you who you are, and maybe at one point have made up what your country is supposed to be, are in diametric opposition to achieving their end goal,

00:32:16.000 which is total control.

00:32:19.000 They know better than you.

00:32:21.000 What you need.

00:32:23.000 They know better than you when you need it.

00:32:26.000 They know better than you why you need it.

00:32:29.000 They know better than you why you may think you don't need it or want it, but they know that you actually need it or want it.

00:32:36.000 They just know better than you.

00:32:41.000 And they certainly are going to exercise that knowledge that they have regardless.

00:32:50.000 Of the votes, regardless of how your nation has spoken on, in fact, a national stage, they are going to find a way to exercise what is better for you.

00:33:06.000 You and all that makes you, you?

00:33:12.000 Who cares? 0.59

00:33:14.000 Now, eat the bugs.

00:33:15.000 Live in a big city. 1.00

00:33:27.000 Hope you enjoyed the video.

00:33:35.000 That's the best way to stay in touch.

00:33:42.000 There are no other notifications that get pushed out to you. 1.00

00:33:44.000 It's not like YouTube crap with a penis or dildo. 0.99

00:33:50.000 I thought I would clean it from the word they use. 0.99

00:33:52.000 It's an actual game on YouTube, but instead I just use the medical nomenclature, which frankly almost sounds dirtier.

00:33:57.000 So, hopefully, if you didn't learn anything new there, because you already knew it, it was a refresher course and it was entertaining.

00:34:04.000 We know it's a pretty important topic with a lot of people.

00:34:08.000 I mean, you know, you say globalism and you get, I mean, Alex Jones will find himself in ecstasy, pure glee, that everyone else is using it as a mainstream term right now.

00:34:18.000 But it actually is something that I know a lot of you...

00:34:22.000 Have encountered, and it's affected you directly.

00:34:24.000 So, we actually asked you some questions earlier, I believe this week or last week, about how globalism has affected you.

00:34:31.000 And here are a couple of the comments and questions that we actually want to share.

00:34:36.000 And coming up after this, of course, will be the Poolmeister, Timmy Sun.

00:34:42.000 Hey! Tim Pool.

00:34:44.000 After, you can just keep watching.

00:34:46.000 It's just me, guys.

00:34:48.000 Just me today.

00:34:49.000 I mean, you know, you got Tool Man, you got Noodles and stuff.

00:34:51.000 All right.

00:34:52.000 You wrote, I will be unironically studying human rights law and freedom of expression at Oxford.

00:34:58.000 And though I enthusiastically side with J.D. Vance on the issue of Europeistan's take on free speech slash thought, I like how you took Europe and added theistan to imply that it's sort of a theocratic oligarchy.

00:35:15.000 Because we know it's not usually Europe.

00:35:17.000 It's not usually Europeistan, it's Europe. 0.86

00:35:21.000 Europa's take on free speech thought and would probably withhold any and all foreign money until the EU codified something like a free speech amendment into law.

00:35:28.000 Should I stick to my guns on the issue if that's too extremist, in quotes, and might genuinely get me kicked out of the country almost immediately?

00:35:36.000 Wouldn't it be worth it to learn as much as I could right now so as to be able to help in the fight for free speech in countries where it's currently just a facade?

00:35:45.000 Is there any hope for any kind of transformation in Europe?

00:35:47.000 Could withholding money from countries like Germany until they stop banning free speech work?

00:35:52.000 Well, thank you for the question.

00:35:54.000 I appreciate it.

00:35:55.000 It's relevant.

00:35:56.000 I will say this.

00:35:59.000 Should have thought of this quandary before you signed up to study human rights, law, and freedom of expression in Oxford.

00:36:07.000 Because now you have a choice to make.

00:36:10.000 You either have to live a lie for a little bit, and it's for the greater good, Or be authentic, right?

00:36:17.000 Keep it real. 0.95

00:36:19.000 The blacks say. 0.98

00:36:20.000 The problem with that is then you're going to be kicked out of Oxford and that doesn't do any good to anybody. 0.98

00:36:26.000 I get it.

00:36:26.000 It's tough.

00:36:28.000 I would say your first mistake was deciding to go there.

00:36:31.000 There's no real reason to, but I will say this.

00:36:35.000 I used to answer this question.

00:36:37.000 There was a group.

00:36:39.000 I think we can talk about it now.

00:36:41.000 I won't give the name, but it was basically like an Alcoholics Anonymous for people in Hollywood, conservatives in Hollywood, where we would meet, and you'd be surprised as to the folks who would show up.

00:36:49.000 I mean, I'm talking A-listers, people who you would know who are conservative, you know, people like Gary Sinise, your James Woods, your Clint Eastwoods, I'm trying to think, John Voight, Kelsey Grammer, people like that.

00:37:01.000 It's really kind of awkward sitting at a table with them and me.

00:37:09.000 But there are a lot of people who would surprise you, and they had to keep their views under wraps.

00:37:13.000 And I used to tell kids, if they were going to college, and they would ask me about this, and say, hey, if I'm planning on going into the entertainment industry, for example, this school, should I keep my views to myself?

00:37:22.000 And I said, you know what?

00:37:23.000 You don't need to be loud about your views.

00:37:26.000 Kind of, yeah, keep your head down, get your work done, make it through, and then we'll see you on the other side where you can do some good.

00:37:36.000 I don't think that it was wrong.

00:37:38.000 At the time, it might have been misguided.

00:37:41.000 I will tell you that my advice now, for whatever it's worth, is very different.

00:37:48.000 There's just no way to keep it hidden, especially in the era of social media and the way the classes are run in higher education.

00:37:56.000 It's really designed to root it out.

00:37:57.000 They will find out.

00:37:59.000 And you no longer have the option to remain silent and polite because they back you into a corner.

00:38:07.000 So... That's a little bit more significant ask of you, right?

00:38:12.000 Not, hey, just sort of be quiet.

00:38:14.000 You're going to be pressed, and you're very likely going to have to lie if you want to keep this facade up.

00:38:19.000 Is that really something that you think you can live with?

00:38:22.000 I would weigh that.

00:38:24.000 I weigh it against, okay, how much good can you do, right, if you make it through this institution, versus how much can you do if you don't?

00:38:35.000 Do you really need to go to this specific institution?

00:38:38.000 And do you really think you'll be able to live with yourself for whatever it is, let's say four years?

00:38:44.000 Do you think it's more of a statement to simply not commit any kind of a cardinal sin, be yourself, and be kicked out?

00:38:52.000 If enough people do that, guess what?

00:38:54.000 The other students start seeing this happen, and we saw in the United States, stateside, right, funds being withheld from higher education, some institutions.

00:39:01.000 I believe Columbia was one of them.

00:39:02.000 I don't have the full list in front of me.

00:39:05.000 Then you actually end up affecting policy.

00:39:08.000 And there's a cultural shift where people realize that the left has gone too far.

00:39:11.000 You now see people who were formerly liberals, or they're still liberals, saying, yeah, but I can't be on board with this kind of totalitarian silencing of free speech.

00:39:20.000 That was a very long uphill climb for many people who came before you.

00:39:25.000 So if I were to give you advice, I'd say let your freak flag fly.

00:39:30.000 Also, appeasing crocodiles is futile. 0.51

00:39:32.000 There is nothing that you can do that will be enough.

00:39:35.000 For these people, if I'm not familiar with your program or the professors, but I certainly know when I was in college, and I certainly know having relatives and my closest friends who've gone to, I mean, everywhere from UT, Brown, Harvard, it's never enough.

00:39:49.000 And if you think you're tolerant enough today, and if you think you're amicable enough today, well, just wait until tomorrow.

00:39:56.000 In other words, you have people who, gosh, maybe four or five years ago.

00:40:02.000 Yeah, you can change your name and I'll call you whatever gender you want. 1.00

00:40:07.000 If those people decided, well, hold on a second, I'm not going to cross this line with, you know, transitioning children. 1.00

00:40:13.000 I'm not going to cross this line.

00:40:14.000 Come on, we always said we weren't talking about biological men in sports.

00:40:18.000 Now they are ostracized.

00:40:20.000 Now they're cut out of the clique.

00:40:23.000 At some point, you're going to come up against that line.

00:40:27.000 And I think it'll happen sooner than you think.

00:40:31.000 And I hate to tell you this, but more often than not, I've seen people who kind of keep their head down, do their work, they go and work in entertainment, you know, production companies, or even in media.

00:40:42.000 Even, by the way, when I was at Fox News for a long time, they live in New York, they live in LA, or they go to San Francisco, they work in big tech companies, and they just compromise.

00:40:52.000 That seems to be, in my experience, the more likely outcome than you keeping your head down, coming out the other side.

00:40:59.000 And having all of the gusto and the zeal for life to change the world.

00:41:04.000 Usually, they chip away at your values, they chip away at your self-worth, and you just go, man, this is an unwinnable fight.

00:41:12.000 I better just keep my head down through my first job.

00:41:17.000 Let me just keep it down until I get that promotion.

00:41:19.000 Let me just keep my head...

00:41:21.000 Oh, wait, you know what?

00:41:22.000 Now, I don't know, I've made partner.

00:41:24.000 Oh, but now I'm actually...

00:41:27.000 The one carrying the name for this firm.

00:41:29.000 I better just not rock the boat.

00:41:31.000 There's always a reason to compromise.

00:41:33.000 And I think there's no time like the president to decide that you won't.

00:41:36.000 But it's your life.

00:41:37.000 Do whatever you want.

00:41:39.000 Does that help?

00:41:40.000 Hopefully it wasn't too depressing.

00:41:42.000 All right.

00:41:43.000 This one comes from, and Mr. Tim Pool is going to be coming up in a few minutes here.

00:41:49.000 It's fun to crumple papers.

00:41:51.000 The Mississippi Gentleman.

00:41:53.000 Writes, I work in forestry and have a globalism story with a nice dovetail into Mug Club mugs.

00:41:58.000 Oh. So America currently has Canadian pine imported to America for home building by the largest timber companies.

00:42:05.000 I don't know how I feel about that.

00:42:07.000 Because as I learned from the first iteration of my desk, pine is a soft wood.

00:42:13.000 You want like an oak or solid fruit wood.

00:42:17.000 I don't know if we use briar for anything but pipes, but I know briars are really hardwood.

00:42:20.000 Can someone let me know, does briar use for anything but pipes?

00:42:22.000 Because it seems like we're very much underusing briar.

00:42:26.000 The reason it's because it's cheaper for Canadians to cut timber, ship it to China, mill it, and kiln dry it, then ship it back here.

00:42:34.000 Okay, you're saying that's the reason, is it's cheaper even though you do all that.

00:42:37.000 The main reason is China is using Canada as a backdoor to undercut American timber.

00:42:42.000 You know, it's funny, that's actually...

00:42:44.000 How Canada is referred to on the global stage.

00:42:47.000 Canada, America's backdoor. 0.60

00:42:50.000 Their energy costs are so low that they save money at scale by shipping it across the ocean.

00:42:55.000 The dovetail here is kilns.

00:42:57.000 Those have become so hard to get permitted and so expensive to operate, basically no new ones are coming online across America.

00:43:04.000 Kilns are the rate limit on producing any ceramic. 0.96

00:43:07.000 Oh, okay, that makes sense.

00:43:08.000 They're also the rate limit on lumber and timber.

00:43:11.000 So my question is, do you guys think Americans will take their medicine short term to help American manufacturers grow and thrive?

00:43:18.000 This is the same question that can be kind of applied across a lot of industries right now, as we're seeing.

00:43:24.000 I do know that there's an additional wrinkle, I would imagine, when you're dealing with timber, when you're dealing with lumber, because of all the environmental regulations.

00:43:32.000 I mean, I can remember when I was a kid, and there were PSAs regarding clear cutting.

00:43:36.000 You know, there'd always be like some bird that would fly and it would go to land on a tree and it would stumble because the tree wasn't there.

00:43:43.000 And then it would, you know, camera would just sort of like pan or zoom out and you would see it was a bunch of trees that weren't there.

00:43:50.000 I never show you, of course, when the Native Americans just decide to debone that bird alive and pass it among the tribes while scalping women and children. 1.00

00:43:58.000 But I digress.

00:43:59.000 I would imagine there's also some environmental regulations that have to be worked through.

00:44:04.000 Outside of that, it's the same principle as with any other industry, right?

00:44:09.000 Either we believe there is some value in being a sovereign nation and being able to rely on our own resources to the best of our ability.

00:44:19.000 Like, there's an exception, for example, some rare earth minerals.

00:44:21.000 We don't really have a lot of that.

00:44:23.000 That's kind of the only gift that God gave China, which sounds weird coming out of my mouth.

00:44:30.000 I mean, God's not going to give China gifts. 0.82

00:44:31.000 They're godless people.

00:44:33.000 But they have like rare earth minerals.

00:44:34.000 There are some other countries where you might have to engage in some, of course, fair trade.

00:44:38.000 And I'm not against actual fair and free trade.

00:44:40.000 But if it's something that can be created, that can be manufactured here in the United States of America, is it worth doing?

00:44:48.000 Now, is that going to be more expensive than, I don't understand this entire process fully, but obviously China is in the mix.

00:44:54.000 Is it going to be more expensive than slave labor that's subsidized by the Chinese government?

00:44:57.000 Yeah. Yeah, of course it is.

00:45:00.000 But does the net benefit, the positive outweigh the negative?

00:45:04.000 And there's usually something somewhere in the middle, right?

00:45:07.000 You don't necessarily...

00:45:08.000 Well, a good example would be cars.

00:45:10.000 You could have an American-made, UAW-made rattlebox that basically has no warranty.

00:45:17.000 I found this out.

00:45:18.000 I have an American car only because during COVID I needed a car.

00:45:22.000 My car broke down, and it was the only one that was available in a full size that I needed for my family.

00:45:27.000 And basically...

00:45:29.000 The auto on, off button, you know, it starts and stops at the stoplight, the gayest feature in all of modern cars. 1.00

00:45:35.000 It stopped working or just kept jumping.

00:45:38.000 And my car only had 27,000 miles on it.

00:45:40.000 And they said, well, it's not under warranty.

00:45:42.000 I said, well, if it's not, then there is no warranty.

00:45:45.000 There is no warranty.

00:45:46.000 It's not tires.

00:45:47.000 It's not brakes. 1.00

00:45:49.000 This is a fundamental, but you put it in, you piece of shit. 1.00

00:45:52.000 I didn't want the auto on, auto stop. 1.00

00:45:55.000 This wasn't me.

00:45:58.000 So, the point is, American cars, not always that great, but a middle ground.

00:46:01.000 You have Americans who are employed by Hyundai, Toyota, Nissan, I believe Honda, Toyota set up one of their new headquarters in Texas, where there are, actually I believe it's the Camry, or the Highlander, one of these Toyotas is one of the most American cars out there as far as percentage of American.

00:46:19.000 Pieces being used and the amount of assembly being done in the United States.

00:46:23.000 Outside of Tesla, I believe that's the most American car on the road.

00:46:26.000 And they make good livings.

00:46:28.000 They make good livings in these states.

00:46:30.000 And they're not beholden to the UAW in their Cadillac pension benefit packages. 0.82

00:46:34.000 So that's a good middle ground between, okay, a piece of crap GM and never-ending American bailout dollars, or, you know, some kind of a Chinese EV that's a... 0.83

00:46:45.000 Likely this sort of amalgamate of a gross violation of intellectual property rights and slave labor. 0.78

00:46:51.000 Okay, you can get a car that's more American that's a Toyota manufactured in the United States with more American parts than most Fords.

00:46:59.000 Great. If American car companies could do that and some of these special interests could maybe release or we'd force them to release their stranglehold, like special interests like unions, yeah, would it be more expensive than if we just imported cheap Chinese cars?

00:47:15.000 Sure. That's what happens with a lot of Europe.

00:47:16.000 You may not know this.

00:47:17.000 They just flood the market with Chinese EVs.

00:47:19.000 Yeah, but it doesn't have to be as expensive as we think it does.

00:47:25.000 And there's the net benefit of us being reliant on our own industries here.

00:47:30.000 If we can apply that to timber and lumber, and I've got to imagine, if anything, it might be easier because if you just stop some of these regulations with milling, I would imagine right away there would be people who see opportunities.

00:47:41.000 I don't know.

00:47:43.000 The flip side is, I mean, it might be tough to compete with Canada because you have a country that's much larger than the United States, significantly larger as far as a landmass, with a tenth of the population, and what the hell else are you going to do with it?

00:47:57.000 It's basically like, I mean, obviously I told you this, the technical term is Canada internationally is known as America's backdoor.

00:48:05.000 But basically, it should be our treehouse.

00:48:09.000 They should just be a timber and lumber reserve for the United States.

00:48:13.000 We get the profits.

00:48:15.000 We get to cut down your trees.

00:48:16.000 We get to use the wood.

00:48:18.000 And Canadians, you should be grateful to take it.

00:48:21.000 Why? Because your Air Force is a guy in a prop plane with a.32 caliber.

00:48:30.000 Handgun. Like an old C-Camp. 0.99

00:48:35.000 So, could we do this here in the United States?

00:48:37.000 Probably. Can we do it more effectively than we are currently doing it?

00:48:40.000 Yes. And I'd like to see that across all industries.

00:48:42.000 However, as it relates to lumber, Canada is largely a useless place filled with mostly, not all, useless people, but rich and natural resources. 0.89

00:48:53.000 So I say we take the resources and, you know, the few good people left? 0.93

00:49:02.000 We'll say a few prayers and hopefully you're not turned into a pillar of salt.
