SNEAKO - GOD IS GOOD.

00:00:00.000 Sir, can you please take a photo of us?

00:00:02.440 I'm such a big fan.

00:00:03.440 We love you.

00:00:04.600 Thank you.

00:00:06.360 I am, I just went for Juma.

00:00:09.740 Salaam alaikum.

00:00:11.540 Are you Sneeko?

00:00:12.480 Hey, what's up, man? 1.00

00:00:16.500 Well, I love everybody. 1.00

00:00:18.720 Do you like Hitler?

00:00:19.660 What do you mean, I don't like Hitler.

00:00:21.760 Do you actually not?

00:00:22.800 No.

00:00:23.740 Oh. 1.00

00:00:24.640 That's no way to talk to people, saying fuck you to someone you don't know. 1.00

00:00:26.960 You shit on Judaism all the time. 1.00

00:00:29.340 No, I don't. 1.00

00:00:30.000 No, I don't.

00:00:31.280 What do you think we believe in?

00:00:33.140 Yeah, he was Asian-American.

00:00:34.940 Asian-American.

00:00:35.500 We're talking Korean?

00:00:36.400 We're talking Thai?

00:00:37.160 We're talking Vietnamese?

00:00:38.060 I don't know.

00:00:38.800 It all happened so fast.

00:00:40.300 You know what?

00:00:40.580 It's fine.

00:00:40.900 I have a preliminary sketch here.

00:00:42.160 Is this the man who assaulted you? 1.00

00:00:44.180 David, I'm a Jew and fuck you. 1.00

00:00:49.000 Trust me when I say this is one of those videos you're going to want to watch until the end. 1.00

00:00:53.160 God is good.

00:00:57.300 It's Friday.

00:00:58.360 It's time to pray.

00:00:59.240 Jumaan Bar.

00:01:00.200 I'm going to the Islamic Cultural Center of New York.

00:01:02.620 It's the biggest mosque in the city.

00:01:04.000 Never been here before.

00:01:08.520 Here you go.

00:01:09.140 How you doing?

00:01:09.580 Salam alaikum.

00:01:10.160 How are you?

00:01:10.880 No left hand.

00:01:11.440 No left hand.

00:01:12.020 How are you feeling?

00:01:13.460 Good.

00:01:13.680 Good.

00:01:13.800 Jumaan's already over?

00:01:14.640 Yeah.

00:01:15.600 What time is it?

00:01:16.200 It's early.

00:01:16.880 12.30.

00:01:17.360 12.30 to start.

00:01:18.160 It's over around like one.

00:01:18.940 Is there a second Jumaan?

00:01:20.660 I'm not sure they do a second Jumaan here.

00:01:22.400 Just one?

00:01:22.900 Yeah.

00:01:23.020 I miss it.

00:01:24.540 It's all right.

00:01:24.920 You can do two wakats.

00:01:25.820 I'll do two wakats.

00:01:26.840 They have really good eyes.

00:01:27.980 Okay.

00:01:28.400 Yeah, walaikum salam.

00:01:40.600 How are you?

00:01:40.980 Walaikum salam.

00:01:41.560 As well as you know, I'm proud of you.

00:01:44.140 You see the way?

00:01:44.800 Yeah.

00:01:45.220 You took a shower, right?

00:01:46.340 Yeah.

00:01:46.640 As well as I'm proud of you.

00:01:47.660 I'm proud of you.

00:01:48.340 You're super religious.

00:01:49.540 Great to meet you.

00:01:50.420 As well.

00:01:51.140 Walaikum salam.

00:01:53.260 I'm very used to going to majids in America that are converted office spaces, 1.00

00:01:57.660 but it's refreshing to see a building that's dedicated just for worship.

00:02:02.280 I love the design of these lights here so much.

00:02:06.060 Nice one.

00:02:07.180 Good.

00:02:07.940 Sneaker, what's in it?

00:02:09.280 Hey.

00:02:09.900 Look up, somehow you're doing.

00:02:10.740 Good.

00:02:11.080 Good luck.

00:02:13.800 Those are $1,000 shoes.

00:02:15.460 Glad I didn't have to worry about anybody stealing them.

00:02:20.220 Are you recording now?

00:02:21.800 Yeah, this.

00:02:22.820 Can I look at what you just recorded?

00:02:24.760 No.

00:02:25.600 Yeah, it's not a view.

00:02:26.800 It's of the signs.

00:02:27.360 Are you sure?

00:02:27.980 Yeah.

00:02:28.820 Okay.

00:02:33.000 So this is the biggest synagogue in New York City called Emanuel L.

00:02:37.680 They said they're closed on Friday and Saturday.

00:02:40.060 Did not know that.

00:02:42.700 Yo, how you doing?

00:02:43.680 As-salamu alaykum.

00:02:44.740 Looks cool in there.

00:02:45.640 My name is Nico.

00:02:46.580 What's your name?

00:02:48.140 Ruben.

00:02:48.900 Nice to meet you.

00:02:49.500 Nice to meet you, too.

00:02:50.260 How you doing?

00:02:50.540 Yeah, I was like...

00:02:51.300 You look really confused.

00:02:52.200 You walked by me, you were like...

00:02:54.200 I was like, I don't know his face.

00:02:55.220 I was like...

00:02:56.440 Yeah, that's just cool.

00:02:57.580 Yeah.

00:02:57.980 Nice to meet you, man.

00:02:58.600 Hey, have a good one.

00:02:59.340 All right, you too.

00:02:59.900 I didn't expect to see all the designs on the doors, but I'm going to head to St. Thomas

00:03:03.380 Church, try to hit all three Abrahamic religions in a day. 0.99

00:03:06.800 God is good.

00:03:07.560 But it's not just Abrahamic religions.

00:03:09.320 I think these are Sikhs.

00:03:11.220 I don't know what they're doing.

00:03:14.020 You can talk to them.

00:03:27.980 They'll tell you exactly what it's about.

00:03:30.440 What are you protesting for?

00:03:31.820 They're protesting against the Indian government.

00:03:33.920 What happened?

00:03:34.680 The Indian government, they killed Canadian citizens in Canada, and they tried to assassinate

00:03:41.800 an American citizen on American soil.

00:03:44.340 So, demanding something from India is not a solution. 0.65

00:03:47.620 Independence, open job, creating another country, separate country is the solution. 1.00

00:03:53.000 So, you want to create a separate nation.

00:03:54.740 Yes.

00:03:55.220 And what is your culture?

00:03:56.720 What religion are you?

00:03:57.840 We are the Sikhs.

00:03:59.060 Thank you so much.

00:04:00.020 I appreciate it.

00:04:00.720 Thank you.

00:04:00.740 Thank you.

00:04:01.380 God bless.

00:04:02.000 Say it again?

00:04:02.540 St. Thomas Church.

00:04:03.720 Yeah, come here.

00:04:04.400 What are we doing?

00:04:06.140 Fourth religion of the day.

00:04:07.540 This is St. Thomas Episcopal Church.

00:04:09.820 It was beautiful.

00:04:11.360 Gotta admit, the British got it right when it came to architectures and the church. 0.98

00:04:24.660 I don't think I've been back here since 2009, 2008.

00:04:29.020 This is Obama.

00:04:30.220 Wow.

00:04:33.660 Neat.

00:04:34.100 Can you hear that?

00:04:35.240 You hear that?

00:04:44.280 It's a Basquiat ripoff. 0.95

00:04:49.100 Fresh.

00:04:54.240 This probably cost $700 million. 1.00

00:04:57.120 And it kind of came here to Haywatch, but I like a lot of this stupid stuff. 0.99

00:05:01.700 This is pretty good. 0.98

00:05:06.300 They don't even have security in this room because it's just squares.

00:05:10.300 There's cubes.

00:05:12.120 Just cubes.

00:05:13.120 I just went back.

00:05:32.080 I just went back.

00:05:32.140 You're back.

00:05:32.760 Yeah, glad to be back.

00:05:33.740 Welcome back.

00:05:34.240 Good seeing you always.

00:05:35.220 Good seeing you always.

00:05:35.240 Good seeing you.

00:05:35.920 Stay safe, all right?

00:05:36.840 You too.

00:05:37.180 Yes, sir.

00:05:37.600 Thank you.

00:05:38.200 Yo, you guys hook up with the game, bro.

00:05:40.120 Let's do it.

00:05:41.060 I thought you guys designed this or something.

00:05:42.920 Oh, nah.

00:05:43.480 We're just taking pictures.

00:05:44.780 I did not think you could be that loud in a museum.

00:05:54.900 Oh, no way.

00:06:08.860 You came all the way from Ethiopia to New York?

00:06:10.420 No, no, no.

00:06:11.240 We made it barely.

00:06:12.200 Sir, sir.

00:06:12.980 Sir, can we take a photo of us?

00:06:15.300 Oh, my gosh.

00:06:16.260 Poor guy.

00:06:16.720 Thank you so much.

00:06:17.860 I'm such a big fan.

00:06:18.900 I love you.

00:06:19.740 Come on in.

00:06:20.900 Thank you.

00:06:22.760 I am.

00:06:23.280 I just went for Juma. 0.74

00:06:24.860 Wow.

00:06:25.740 Are you not?

00:06:26.160 I am, right?

00:06:26.960 Oh, okay.

00:06:27.320 Do you live here?

00:06:28.140 Yeah, I do.

00:06:28.520 That is so cool.

00:06:31.200 I have to get going.

00:06:32.320 Nice to meet you guys.

00:06:33.680 Are you Sneak Up?

00:06:34.620 Hey.

00:06:35.100 What's up, man?

00:06:35.800 Hey, man. 1.00

00:06:36.200 I'm a Jew and fuck you. 1.00

00:06:37.720 Fuck. 1.00

00:06:38.040 Oh, okay. 1.00

00:06:38.620 Well, I love everybody.

00:06:40.780 You're like Hitler. 0.92

00:06:41.780 You live like Hitler? 0.91

00:06:42.440 What do you mean?

00:06:42.700 I don't like Hitler.

00:06:43.880 Do you actually not?

00:06:44.940 No.

00:06:45.880 Oh. 1.00

00:06:46.780 That's no way to talk to people saying fuck you to someone you don't know. 1.00

00:06:49.160 You shit on Judaism all the time. 1.00

00:06:51.460 No, I don't. 1.00

00:06:51.860 You understand that, right?

00:06:52.580 No, I don't.

00:06:53.060 What do you think we believe in?

00:06:55.020 I think you believe in one God.

00:06:56.640 Yes.

00:06:57.020 I think you believe in the chosen people.

00:06:58.520 No, we don't, dude.

00:06:59.720 We believe that we're supposed to follow the commandments of God.

00:07:02.960 That's what the Old Testament is.

00:07:04.340 Okay.

00:07:04.680 When have I ever said otherwise?

00:07:05.700 Don't you say things like Jews, like believe they're better than other people?

00:07:13.360 I say you believe you're the chosen people.

00:07:15.260 Well, we're chosen to follow the commandments.

00:07:19.700 Okay.

00:07:20.360 Yeah.

00:07:20.760 That's why.

00:07:21.500 I mean.

00:07:21.840 That's all I said.

00:07:22.380 Do you want to follow the commandments?

00:07:23.720 Of course I do.

00:07:24.280 No, you don't.

00:07:25.320 You don't.

00:07:25.500 I want to follow the Muslim commandments. 1.00

00:07:27.140 That's fair.

00:07:27.840 That's fair.

00:07:28.340 My community is called Love Speech.

00:07:29.520 I believe in loving everybody.

00:07:30.920 Okay.

00:07:31.600 Well, can you give me a hug?

00:07:33.500 Yeah, of course.

00:07:33.940 I'm sorry.

00:07:35.120 I apologize.

00:07:36.000 How did I?

00:07:36.360 It's okay.

00:07:36.700 What's your name?

00:07:37.360 Ryan.

00:07:37.800 I'm sorry.

00:07:38.200 I'm sorry.

00:07:38.700 I came at you so heavy.

00:07:39.920 I know.

00:07:40.140 It's just from things I've heard.

00:07:41.400 I can understand it.

00:07:42.260 The internet spins things in a certain way, but I'm not a bad guy.

00:07:44.840 You don't seem like a bad guy either.

00:07:45.800 Yeah.

00:07:46.020 I'm sorry.

00:07:46.600 I feel bad.

00:07:47.320 I'm sorry.

00:07:47.760 I don't feel bad.

00:07:48.460 I mean.

00:07:48.700 Okay.

00:07:49.180 One more hug?

00:07:49.980 One more hug.

00:07:50.600 Okay.

00:07:50.920 Thank you.

00:07:51.500 I hope you have a nice day.

00:07:52.180 Hey, have a nice one.

00:07:53.360 Have a good day.

00:08:02.340 Shout out to Brian, man.

00:08:03.920 Big shout out to Brian. 0.92

00:08:05.440 Takes balls to be able to change his mind like that.

00:08:10.260 That was one of those rare instances where you happen to catch one of the best interactions

00:08:14.400 on camera.

00:08:15.020 That man Brian deserves a lot of credit.

00:08:16.920 Not for angrily yelling at me, but for having the humility to listen and then hug it out.

00:08:22.320 That's rare.

00:08:23.000 That brief conversation with him is exactly why I wanted to start Project X even to begin

00:08:27.560 with.

00:08:27.800 These videos aren't just about showing the beauty of New York City and having an outlet

00:08:31.040 to flex my creative muscles, but also being able to pioneer content creation on X.

00:08:35.600 And that's only possible by having conversations with people that you seemingly disagree with.

00:08:40.260 Twitter or X is like the town square.

00:08:42.240 It's where people of all different cultures, religions, backgrounds congregate in one place

00:08:47.160 to scream at each other all day long in a funny way.

00:08:50.540 I'm not only here to show that content creation on X is possible, but also to show that we're

00:08:54.900 not that different from each other, even though this website can make it seem that way.

00:08:59.240 A constant stream of short form conversation of people from all over the world is bound

00:09:03.780 to divide.

00:09:04.440 Even though Twitter's been around for a long time, free speech on X is new and humans are

00:09:09.400 not used to being able to communicate with that many people instantaneously.

00:09:13.940 Inevitably, one of the byproducts of free speech is a lot of animosity.

00:09:18.160 As a species, human beings are still far from being able to communicate with so many people

00:09:22.960 that we vehemently disagree with, or so we think.

00:09:26.000 My motto has always been seek truth through funny because I believe we're not as different

00:09:30.160 as we believe.

00:09:30.840 All you need to realize that we're not that different from one another is a little bit

00:09:35.060 of humility and humor.

00:09:36.880 I encourage everyone to engage in as much dialogue with different people as possible

00:09:41.240 to realize that we're not that different.

00:09:43.400 Part of the reason I love New York City so much is it's a small place really with the

00:09:47.880 most diversity in the world.

00:09:49.520 One side of the train car is a Muslim from Pakistan and the other side is a refugee from 0.99

00:09:53.500 Mexico, but that homeless guy still smells like piss to all of us. 0.98

00:09:57.460 That's why two years ago when I named my community, I called it love speech because even though 0.97

00:10:01.940 they love to insist people like me are hateful, I want to drill it into people's brains that

00:10:07.460 we love everyone.

00:10:08.640 Because really, the only way to fully understand the human condition is to first engage and

00:10:13.500 respect every culture and religion.

00:10:15.440 No matter how much division the media tries to create, at the end of the day, we're all

00:10:19.580 flawed, we're all trying, and we're all God's creation.

00:10:23.280 God's the greatest.

00:10:23.960 God's the greatest.

00:10:24.960 One more hug.

00:10:25.960 One more hug.

00:10:26.960 Okay, thank you.

00:10:27.960 Have a nice one.
