01:59:55.000 It's been a while.
01:59:56.000 It's been a while. I've been to jail and back again ever since the last Cigar Night.
02:00:04.000 But I'm going to be back doing these weekly because I feel like my audience is growing.
02:00:11.000 I feel like a lot of people are now getting accustomed to listening to me and the things I have to say.
02:00:20.000 And people are actually interested in my opinions on things, so rather than type out all my answers on X, I'd rather give video replies on Rumble, because they go viral anyway, and then people get to know my takes on things in the world.
02:00:32.000 I appreciate all the support.
02:00:33.000 This is a record-breaking cigar night already.
02:00:35.000 We have more viewers than we ever normally have, which just goes to show that the attempts to silence my brother and I are failing in real time.
02:00:42.000 They've been failing ever since they first started.
02:00:46.000 So, if you don't know how a cigar night works, it's very, very simple.
02:00:49.000 I light a cigar and I answer your questions.
02:00:52.000 Questions come in through Super Chats.
02:00:54.000 I've already listed a few questions that were asked earlier to me, earlier on X to me.
02:01:02.000 However... Super chat questions are the ones I'll be answering as and when things come in.
02:01:08.000 So feel free to ask me anything important.
02:01:10.000 I probably won't answer if it's too specific to you.
02:01:14.000 If it's, hey Tristan, my name's Steven.
02:01:16.000 I'm working for this much per hour.
02:01:18.000 I have a business idea.
02:01:19.000 I live in Connecticut. Probably not going to dive into it unless it's a really big Super Chat.
02:01:25.000 All the money, as you know, goes to Tate Pledge.
02:01:27.000 The money used here, the money given on Rumble, is used to feed hungry children everywhere in the world.
02:01:35.000 So I'm going to smoke the cigar, and around about the time I finish smoking the cigar, which should be about an hour or so, we should be done with this, and then I've got a surprise for everybody.
02:01:43.000 So I decided...
02:01:46.000 To smoke an affordable cigar for once, which is a first.
02:01:50.000 I'm not going to light it with a $72,000 lighter.
02:01:52.000 This is not a $500, $600, $700 cigar.
02:01:55.000 This is a nice, normally priced cigar that most of you can buy for around $20 to $30 anywhere in the world.
02:02:01.000 Because I thought... What's the point of me flexing on everyone with all these expensive cigars?
02:02:05.000 Because I don't even describe how they taste.
02:02:07.000 I just answer questions and basically ignore the fact that I'm smoking a cigar.
02:02:11.000 The original point of Cigar Nights was to review the various tobaccos, but I've got so much to say in so little time, I never ever do.
02:02:17.000 So this is a Perdomo 30th anniversary.
02:02:23.000 The tobacco is Nicaraguan.
02:02:24.000 It's aged for 15 years.
02:02:26.000 As those of you who may have seen my impromptu sales pitch for cigars now understand, what gives a cigar its taste and its flavor is the time it takes and the process it takes to age the tobacco correctly before rolling it.
02:02:42.000 So this one, whoever picked the leaves to put into this cigar and started aging them, did that 15 years ago.
02:02:49.000 And here I am smoking this thing today.
02:02:51.000 And again, $30, $40 tops.
02:02:54.000 Very, very affordable and highly recommended to you people at home.
02:02:58.000 Shout out to Nicaragua, guys in the chat.
02:03:02.000 Now, I've got a few questions and topics I'd like to cover.
02:03:04.000 I don't play video clips because I'm not Mr.
02:03:06.000 Producer. I just sit and speak.
02:03:09.000 First I'm going to light this and tell you how it is.
02:03:11.000 I'm going to give you a 1 to 10 scale while the Super Chats are flooding in.
02:03:15.000 The most interesting ones I'm gonna put to the side I'm gonna put to the side.
02:03:20.000 8 out of 10.
02:03:49.000 so far.
02:03:51.000 8 out of 10. Scrolling through the questions now.
02:03:57.000 So I had a few questions come in to me on X. Somebody sent me a clip.
02:04:12.000 Of Professor Richard Dawkins, the famous atheist.
02:04:17.000 He wrote books such as The God Delusion, The Reality.
02:04:21.000 What's it called? I've read the book.
02:04:23.000 The Magic of Reality, I believe it's called.
02:04:25.000 Many books which I myself have read in my younger days.
02:04:29.000 And Richard Dawkins has now come out as a cultural Christian.
02:04:33.000 So... What that means is, if you haven't seen the clip, he doesn't believe in the God of the Bible.
02:04:38.000 He doesn't believe that Jesus is our Lord and Savior.
02:04:41.000 What he believes is that society, English society, as he is an English man, is a Christian society.
02:04:47.000 And we shouldn't forget or neglect Christianity, whether or not he believes in it or not.
02:04:53.000 So he wants all the benefits of a Christian society without actually...
02:04:58.000 Accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, which is quite cute.
02:05:00.000 but I'm going to talk about Richard Dawkins for a little bit because people have sent me this clip and they've asked
02:05:04.000 me what I think about him.
02:05:05.000 I feel like Richard has been left behind.
02:05:16.000 behind.
02:05:18.000 I feel like the age of the intellectual atheist, when Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens and Sam Harris and various people in the world were writing books and doing documentaries and speeches about why it's good to be an atheist, why the world would be a great place if everyone was an atheist, why we need to give up on religion.
02:05:38.000 Bill Maher famously released a documentary called Religulous.
02:05:41.000 You see, I believe all of these men to be relatively intelligent And reasonable people.
02:05:48.000 And the problem with intelligent and reasonable people is if you decide to be an atheist and you are intelligent and reasonable, what you do is you falsely project the idea To yourself, that the entire world can be an atheist and be reasonable and moral and kind and loving and generous and neighborly.
02:06:11.000 But that isn't the experience that we've seen.
02:06:14.000 So religion has massively declined.
02:06:17.000 Atheism has really blown up in the United States as well as European countries after all of these men wrote their books and did all their podcasts and all their TED Talks about why religion is bad, etc.
02:06:31.000 Unfortunately, he has found himself left behind and isolated as a reasonable man.
02:06:37.000 I have no reason to believe he's a bad person.
02:06:39.000 I have no reason to believe that he is evil.
02:06:42.000 I have no reason to believe that he wants to kill children or castrate children.
02:06:47.000 However, all of the other atheists do.
02:06:50.000 He has led the charge into the 21st century with this banner of atheism, and he's turned around and looked at his army and realized, I'm the bad team.
02:07:02.000 I am the bad guy.
02:07:04.000 And I'll tell you what I'm talking about in a moment.
02:07:06.000 He is an evolutionary biologist.
02:07:08.000 So biology is what he is educated in.
02:07:11.000 He knows more about biology than me and probably you and probably most other people because he's a highly educated individual.
02:07:18.000 Books such as... Did he write The Selfish Gene?
02:07:21.000 He may have done. Anyway, again, an amazing book.
02:07:25.000 The problem he's had is the atheists of the world, because it's not the Christians, it's not the Muslims, it's not the Jews, it's not the Hindus, it's not the Sikhs.
02:07:34.000 No great religious leaders of the world are pushing ideas like, boys are girls and girls are boys.
02:07:41.000 Gender is fluid. You could pick your gender.
02:07:43.000 You could choose to be a boy if you're a girl.
02:07:46.000 You could choose to be a girl if you're a boy.
02:07:48.000 Sex is not binary.
02:07:50.000 It is fluid.
02:07:52.000 Now, these are obviously ridiculous ideas and nobody with a reasonable mind thinks they're true.
02:07:56.000 But the large groups of people who do live by this, the religion of gender ideology, are the atheists.
02:08:05.000 And Christianity has preserved Standard, general, biological facts.
02:08:13.000 So is Islam.
02:08:15.000 So has Judaism. So is Sikhism, so is Hinduism.
02:08:19.000 Every single religious group of people in the world have preserved the ideas that Richard Dawkins knows more about than most of us here.
02:08:26.000 Ideas like XX chromosomes make you a woman, XY chromosomes make you a man.
02:08:31.000 So it's very funny and it must be sadly ironic for Professor Dawkins to be sitting there with this new team of atheists that he's helped create and realize that they're all fucking insane.
02:08:45.000 The idea that you should be aborting your children and that abortion is healthcare, again, I think is very evil.
02:08:51.000 I understand the reasons behind some abortions and I do believe that in some cases it is necessary.
02:08:56.000 I'm not saying it should be illegal.
02:08:58.000 But I'm saying it's not the Christians and the Muslims who are wearing t-shirts saying, I've had 20 abortions, so what?
02:09:06.000 My body, my choice. That is all...
02:09:08.000 The atheists and people, especially Western people, should be having more children, not less.
02:09:14.000 So I feel like Richard must feel a little bit sad because I've seen him in the past in a documentary he did with Christopher Hitchens maybe 10 years ago saying that if he could push a button and get rid of all religion in the world, he'd push it.
02:09:28.000 He seems to have changed his mind.
02:09:35.000 And what he's saying is, England is a Christian country.
02:09:40.000 Our cathedrals, our churches, our art, our hymns, our poetry, our plays, everything that's been done in the name of Christianity is what makes England, England.
02:09:53.000 England is wonderful because of it.
02:09:55.000 And England shouldn't be anything but a Christian nation.
02:09:58.000 I don't know if he's particularly talking about...
02:10:02.000 I think what he's doing is he's trying to juxtaposition himself and say, oh, I don't want it to become a Muslim nation.
02:10:07.000 Essentially, it's becoming an atheist nation because of people like him, and he's now seen the light.
02:10:13.000 Not seen the light for real, like I've seen the light.
02:10:16.000 Not like you've seen the light, but he's seen a glimmer of the light.
02:10:19.000 And he understands that religion is amazing for society, and it helps society function in a healthy, normal way.
02:10:25.000 Now... I have a Muslim brother.
02:10:28.000 I'm a Christian man myself.
02:10:29.000 So what culture, what religion do I think England should be?
02:10:33.000 Well, I am not one of the people who wants his own religion to be in charge of every country in the world.
02:10:39.000 I understand that there are differences in the way that we worship God.
02:10:43.000 I understand that certain countries run in different ways.
02:10:47.000 I believe England should be a Christian nation.
02:10:50.000 I believe its leaders should be Christian.
02:10:52.000 I believe its politicians should be Christian.
02:10:54.000 I believe its heroes and the people it promotes should be Christian.
02:10:59.000 I believe its values and its ideals should be Christian.
02:11:02.000 But I don't think the world should be Christian because I think the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia should be a Muslim country.
02:11:07.000 I think that these are cultural factors that have shaped the mindset of the people in England, Christianity and the Bible.
02:11:16.000 In Saudi Arabia, the Holy Quran and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.
02:11:21.000 They have shaped the culture of the people and the society so much so That they're an integral and important part of what that society is and what it means to be English or what it means to be Saudi or what it means to be, I don't know, Gujarati Hindu, for example. So I believe England should be a Christian nation.
02:11:40.000 I believe that all of its leaders, et cetera, should be Christians.
02:11:44.000 And Richard Dawkins is...
02:11:47.000 Yeah, he's found himself in a bit of a difficult situation because he's now admitting that society is much better when it's underpinned with the teachings of Jesus Christ and the teachings of the Bible.
02:11:57.000 Well, welcome to the club, Richard!
02:12:01.000 I'll happily throw you a baptism anytime you like.
02:12:05.000 I'm a longtime admirer of your work.
02:12:07.000 I've read all your books. However, I think you're slowly, slowly coming to the realization that made me explore Christianity again, and the realization that made me convert to Christianity again as an atheist.
02:12:21.000 And that was, I looked at society, I looked at the other atheists, I looked at how they behave, I looked at how they think, and I thought, are these my people?
02:12:28.000 Are these my people? Are these the people who I want in control of the world?
02:12:32.000 Are these the people who I want as neighbors?
02:12:33.000 Are these the people I want in society?
02:12:35.000 And you'll very quickly find that the answer is absolutely not.
02:12:41.000 Now, I'm getting a bit of backlash here when I say the leaders of England should be Christians, because as we know, the Prime Minister is not a Christian.
02:12:50.000 He is a Hindu. Rather than backtrack, I'm going to give a little bit of a speech and I'm going to get myself in more trouble.
02:12:58.000 I think that's smart.
02:13:05.000 I'm gonna say something that not a lot of people are allowed to say.
02:13:12.000 I'm a British man.
02:13:13.000 I come from a multi-religious family.
02:13:16.000 I am half black.
02:13:17.000 I'm a quarter Irish and no Ireland is not England and Ireland is not the UK. So I'm a mix of everything and I'm going to come out and say it because a lot of people aren't allowed to say this without being called racist, but I believe the leaders of the United Kingdom not only should be Christians, I believe that they should be white.
02:13:37.000 Why do I believe that they should be white?
02:13:40.000 I don't necessarily think that a white person is any better qualified than a black person or any better qualified than a person of Asian descent or Indian descent to be the leader of the United Kingdom.
02:13:51.000 But I believe that white people deserve it more.
02:13:55.000 And I believe they deserve it because of their historical ties to the place and their historical ties to the past.
02:14:04.000 So let's forget England for a second, because when I talk specifically about England, people call me a racist.
02:14:09.000 If I were to say...
02:14:11.000 Japan. I believe that the samurai who fought in all of the great wars for the shogunate back when Oda Nobunaga and his boys were fighting to try and gain supremacy of the country and all the sacrifices that were made in their wars with the Portuguese and the fights they had in World War II against the West.
02:14:34.000 I believe that all the brave men of Japan did all of these things and they did this So they could pass their country onto their children.
02:14:46.000 They did it so they could pass their country onto their children.
02:14:50.000 And England is no different.
02:14:51.000 The story of the United Kingdom doesn't begin in the 1940s and 50s when immigration showed up.
02:14:56.000 England was established and built before that.
02:14:58.000 No diversity did not build Britain.
02:15:00.000 The story of England goes back, arguably, As recent as 1066, as far back as, I guess, the fifth century when the Romans left.
02:15:11.000 But all of the wonderful and beautiful things that Englishmen have done.
02:15:16.000 Standing up against French knights on the Battle of Agincourt.
02:15:20.000 Charging the fields at the Somme.
02:15:23.000 Writing the Magna Carta.
02:15:25.000 Everything these English people did.
02:15:28.000 It was so that they could defend their country and pass their country onto their children.
02:15:35.000 Now, I do have one English grandparent.
02:15:38.000 These people are my ancestors a bit.
02:15:41.000 However, the soldiers who fought in World War II, the soldiers who fought in World War I, the members of Horatio Nelson's Great Navy when they defeated the Spanish-French fleet at Trafalgar, these people Did these amazing things to pass their country on to their children.
02:15:58.000 So no, I don't believe that an Indian man's child or grandchild should be in control of the UK. Or an African man's child or grandchild should be in charge of the UK. I am only one quarter native, native British.
02:16:15.000 I don't think I should be the Prime Minister.
02:16:17.000 My ancestors were slaves taken from Western Africa to the United States.
02:16:22.000 A lot of my ancestors were Irish who were massive, massive opponents of the British and hated the British.
02:16:28.000 I don't believe that I have enough skin in the game to be qualified to be leader of the United Kingdom.
02:16:34.000 So when I say that the leaders of England should be white and the leaders of England should be Christian, I feel like there's nothing wrong with saying that.
02:16:46.000 Now, will I get attacked for it?
02:16:47.000 Maybe. But their ancestors didn't help write the great British story.
02:16:53.000 At least nowhere near to the extent as the white Englishman.
02:16:58.000 And again, I could say this about any country.
02:17:01.000 And when I say it about other countries, no one calls me crazy.
02:17:04.000 If I were to say Thailand should be run by Thai people who are ethnically Thai,
02:17:11.000 who speak the Thai language, who are Buddhists like the Thai, no one's
02:17:15.000 going to call me a racist.
02:17:16.000 If I were to say that I think Mexico should be run by Mexicans and the
02:17:22.000 descendants of the conquistadors and the Aztecs, when they all mixed together,
02:17:30.000 those people helped build that nation and the president should be Mexican and
02:17:34.000 he should speak Spanish and everyone in the parliament should be Mexican and
02:17:38.000 No one's going to call me names when I talk about Mexico or any other country, Argentina, El Salvador.
02:17:45.000 But when I say it about England, suddenly I'm racist.
02:17:47.000 But I mean it.
02:17:49.000 And if you don't like what I say, don't watch my fucking show.
02:17:53.000 And yes, yes, that disqualifies me from being Prime Minister of the UK. I would happily vote for that and disqualify myself.
02:18:03.000 Speaking of the United Kingdom and things that have gone wrong,
02:18:07.000 we're going to talk about Scotland's new hate speech laws.
02:18:11.000 And hate speech laws are a tricky thing.
02:18:21.000 And they're a slippery, slippery slope.
02:18:25.000 Now... To give you guys a little context on my opinions on hate speech laws, I'm going to rewind the clock about 12 years.
02:18:34.000 And 12 years ago, New York City decided to try to ban a word.
02:18:40.000 They tried to make a certain word illegal.
02:18:42.000 And that word was the N-word.
02:18:45.000 The N-word with a hard R. I don't like to say it.
02:18:47.000 Technically, I'm allowed to say it.
02:18:49.000 But why say it?
02:18:50.000 It's offensive to a lot of my beautiful black listeners, so I'm not going to.
02:18:54.000 But New York City tried to make the N-word illegal, essentially.
02:18:57.000 And a lot of people wanted it to be made illegal.
02:19:01.000 Obviously, it violates America's First Amendment of free speech.
02:19:04.000 But I actually said I do not want it to be illegal.
02:19:09.000 I would hate for the N-word to be illegal.
02:19:14.000 Now, that's not just so I can laugh and joke with my friends and my friends can use it in our stupid little friendship group.
02:19:21.000 The reason I don't want the N-word to be illegal anywhere in the world is because the state of the world 12 years ago was relatively sane.
02:19:30.000 The left hadn't gone too far left.
02:19:32.000 Social justice warriors didn't have their swords out yet.
02:19:35.000 So making the N-word illegal, what's the harm?
02:19:38.000 I'll tell you what the harm would have been.
02:19:40.000 The harm would have been...
02:19:42.000 Not that you can't say the N-word, but you've officially given the government the ability to ban words and make words illegal and police your speech and send you to jail for the words that come out of your mouth.
02:19:57.000 Now, if you want to come up to me and call my dad an N-word to my face, I'll deal with you.
02:20:03.000 What I won't do is call the police.
02:20:04.000 Hey, he said a legal word.
02:20:06.000 I think he should be arrested. I think you're fully within your rights to say that word.
02:20:09.000 And if you want to go up to my group of friends, a lot of them are black, and say the N-word, if you're brave enough, feel free.
02:20:15.000 You should be allowed to do that.
02:20:17.000 Because once you give the government the ability to choose which words are legal and which words are not legal, think about how far the world has changed in these 12 years.
02:20:27.000 Luckily, that got thrown out.
02:20:28.000 The N-word isn't illegal anywhere in the United States, but let's pretend they still had this power.
02:20:33.000 Okay, 12 years ago, we made the N-word illegal.
02:20:35.000 We still have the power.
02:20:37.000 New York is insane.
02:20:39.000 It's run by insane leftist liberals.
02:20:42.000 Just look what they're doing to Trump in New York.
02:20:43.000 He built the skyline.
02:20:45.000 They're trying to fine him $500 million for nothing.
02:20:48.000 Now, if...
02:20:52.000 They had the power now that was given to them 12 years ago to make words illegal.
02:20:56.000 What words would they make illegal?
02:20:59.000 Biological male? Biological female?
02:21:04.000 Cisgender? Pedophile?
02:21:06.000 That's a sexual orientation.
02:21:07.000 You're not allowed to say that. That's too mean.
02:21:10.000 You see where I'm going with this?
02:21:13.000 No words should ever be made illegal.
02:21:15.000 And what Scotland has done is Really, really passed, I think, perhaps the worst piece of British legislation in my lifetime.
02:21:28.000 Because what they've done is they've said, if speech is hateful, it's illegal.
02:21:36.000 Well, what does hateful mean?
02:21:37.000 Who defines what hateful means?
02:21:39.000 The police? The left-wing liberal police who dance around in gay pride flags all day?
02:21:45.000 So when J.K. Rowling...
02:21:51.000 I believe she lives in Scotland.
02:21:56.000 JK Rowling's actually using my line.
02:21:58.000 Take me to jail. That's my line.
02:22:01.000 JK, you're allowed to have it.
02:22:02.000 I know you and my brother had some arguments about depression and mental health about five or six years ago, but what you're doing in terms of standing up to this horrible attack on free speech, I've got to admire you for it, and you are willing to go to jail to state biological facts.
02:22:16.000 So what they're doing in Scotland is extremely dangerous.
02:22:20.000 Because if you think of how crazy the world's got in the last 12 years...
02:22:24.000 What happens in 12 more?
02:22:30.000 God knows. I identify as a child is calling me an adult, hateful.
02:22:35.000 I identify as a dog is calling me a human, hateful.
02:22:39.000 Is stating biological facts going to become hateful?
02:22:43.000 Are people going to end up in jail for saying that men are men and women are women?
02:22:46.000 I don't know. But I'm glad prominent people like J.K. Rowling are leading the charge against this, and that's why I thought I need to speak out against it as well.
02:22:55.000 Because it is fundamentally wrong and inherently evil to be policing anybody's speech in any way.
02:23:02.000 Obviously, threats...
02:23:04.000 Incitement to violence.
02:23:05.000 I'm going to kill you. We should murder these type of people.
02:23:09.000 Obviously, I understand why those threats, not the speech itself, can be crimes, because what you're doing is, you know, you're opening the door to actual physical violence on somebody.
02:23:18.000 But it is not hateful to state biological fact.
02:23:21.000 And credit to JK for standing up to that.
02:23:28.000 Boycott Starbucks! Boycott McDonald's!
02:23:31.000 Boycott Coca-Cola! Are you making a difference?
02:23:37.000 Well, my very good friend asked me about this today.
02:23:52.000 I was asked if I believe that the Boycotts against companies that allegedly pay taxes to the Israeli state are going to do anything to halt the genocide that they're committing.
02:24:06.000 And I said no. I said buy your coffee at Starbucks, drink a Coca-Cola, it doesn't make a difference.
02:24:11.000 And I'm gonna explain why, and I'm gonna explain what should be done.
02:24:14.000 Free speech is super important, as I was just covering in my previous point.
02:24:26.000 Thank you.
02:24:27.000 And what's happened is, now that free speech has been restored to the people, people who want to commit acts of evil if they have control of the media.
02:24:37.000 And no, I'm not talking about a religious group.
02:24:39.000 I'm talking about a nation, by the way.
02:24:42.000 People who control the media can commit horrible acts of violence and nobody ever checks them for it because they're in charge of, you know, the New York Times and all the newspapers and they can dictate events as they like.
02:24:54.000 However, free speech on platforms like Rumble, platforms like X, have opened the door to people actually analyzing what's happening in the Middle East and what's being done in the Middle East.
02:25:04.000 Now, this is the cure to the problem because America is never going to abandon Israel.
02:25:10.000 It's never going to turn its back on Israel.
02:25:12.000 They're very close allies and I believe they always will be.
02:25:14.000 However, when people like the future president, the great Donald Trump, has now
02:25:21.000 seen with his own eyes what's going on over there and said, look, Israel, you've
02:25:24.000 taken it too far.
02:25:25.000 When very, very prominent podcasters, people like Candace Owens, Joe Rogan,
02:25:32.000 people like Alex Jones, people who otherwise do like Israel, don't
02:25:38.000 necessarily dislike the country, are now calling out this genocide for what it is.
02:25:42.000 It's an important cultural shift and free speech is the only way to fight it.
02:25:49.000 You show the world what's happening and let people make up their own mind because no decent person, no decent person, no matter if you're Jewish, Muslim or Christian, no decent person is in favor of what is happening in Gaza.
02:26:04.000 And if you are, Then take a look at the mirror.
02:26:07.000 You're not a decent person. So do I think the boycotts work?
02:26:10.000 No. And I'm going to explain why boycotting is completely pointless.
02:26:13.000 Talk about the issue.
02:26:15.000 Share the horrible videos, sadly, that people tag you in.
02:26:19.000 Talk to people on the ground.
02:26:21.000 Donate money to help the children, like I do, and to help the people struggling over there to rebuild.
02:26:26.000 But by all means, don't think that not buying Coca-Cola and not buying Starbucks is going to help at all.
02:26:32.000 And I'm going to explain why. Let's pretend...
02:26:36.000 Life is that simple.
02:26:38.000 Obviously, Coca-Cola own the other drinks you're going to drink.
02:26:41.000 I'm not going to get into that. Obviously, BlackRock own the shares in the coffee franchise that you go to, and if you don't go there, anywhere else you go, the smoothie shop is owned by the same people.
02:26:50.000 Let's pretend it's actually simple.
02:26:52.000 Let's pretend Coca-Cola...
02:26:54.000 Is it one drink and it's a company that pays a million dollars a day in taxes to the Israeli government?
02:27:02.000 Let's pretend Starbucks is a coffee shop that's registered in Israel as a company and it pays a million dollars every single day to the Israeli government.
02:27:09.000 Let's pretend it's black and white simple, okay?
02:27:13.000 Well... If you boycott them and their revenues fall in half, then they only donate half a million a day to the Israeli government, which funds obviously the Israeli war effort.
02:27:24.000 I would say the Israeli genocide myself.
02:27:28.000 And if things were that simple, what kind of difference would it make?
02:27:34.000 So you are the Israeli army.
02:27:36.000 You get a million dollars a day, two million dollars a day, a million from Coca-Cola, a million from Starbucks, and you're waging your genocidal war.
02:27:43.000 The money's cut in half because of the boycotts.
02:27:47.000 Okay. What do you do next?
02:27:49.000 Well, who funds these campaigns?
02:27:52.000 Who funds the military in Israel?
02:27:54.000 The American taxpayer. But not just the American taxpayer, the American Federal Reserve.
02:27:58.000 And where do they get money from?
02:28:02.000 They make it up. We're good to go.
02:28:25.000 It's already there. In cyberspace, ready to be typed into existence to pay for its bombs and its weapons and its napalm and its bullets and its soldiers.
02:28:34.000 So boycotting Starbucks ain't gonna do a goddamn thing.
02:28:37.000 However... The shift in public consciousness that has happened, even people like Piers Morgan are now calling out Israel and what they're doing.
02:28:45.000 And him and my brother had a mighty clash about this on day one.
02:28:49.000 Well, the cultural shift is what stops Americans from saying, I'm going to give money to this state.
02:28:57.000 I'm going to fund this further.
02:29:01.000 So buy your coffee, buy your burgers, buy your Coca-Cola, because that's not what's going to hurt them.
02:29:09.000 Talking about the problem is what's going to hurt them.
02:29:11.000 Just as I would speak openly against any genocide anywhere in the world, against any person, I'd speak openly against genocide being committed against Israelis just as much as I would Palestinians.
02:29:24.000 I'm an anti-genocide person.
02:29:27.000 And that's my political standpoint.
02:29:31.000 People think I'm crazy? Well, I'm not.
02:29:33.000 Speaking of Donald Trump, I got a few questions about him and his family on X.
02:29:39.000 And the questions were along the lines of, do I think that there is future political leadership built
02:29:48.000 into the Trump family?
02:29:50.000 And this all came after a post I made.
02:29:59.000 Bye.
02:30:00.000 Barron Trump's 18th birthday was a week and a half ago.
02:30:04.000 Happy birthday, young man. And what happened was some left-wing insane journalist made some very strange comment saying, Barron Trump's now 18.
02:30:15.000 He's fair game. I don't know what he meant by that.
02:30:19.000 And I don't think I want to know what he meant by that.
02:30:23.000 However, what I would say is, yes, he is fair game.
02:30:30.000 He's fair game, as in he's 18 years old, so it's fair game to put him in his father's administration, give him a job in politics, let him learn, let him grow, and position him for a future presidential run in 30 years' time.
02:30:44.000 Yes, he's fair game in that way, and good.
02:30:47.000 And I guess the question is, do I believe there is potential
02:30:52.000 president material within the Trump family?
02:30:57.000 Can they become a great political dynasty like the Kennedys were, for example?
02:31:01.000 And my answer to that is an overwhelming yes.
02:31:05.000 When Donald Trump wins, and I hope he does, this will be his last term as president.
02:31:12.000 Obviously you can only run two terms and Donald Trump deserves to retire.
02:31:16.000 He's getting old. He deserves to retire and enjoy the rest of his life in peace.
02:31:20.000 So who do you hand over the reins to then?
02:31:23.000 A few people know this, but not everybody does.
02:31:26.000 I met Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., about six years ago, before anyone really knew who I was.
02:31:32.000 My brother and I were just medium-sized Twitter accounts, but a conversation was had where it was, if you're ever in New York, let me know.
02:31:40.000 And we sat in Trump Tower and spoke about the state of the world with him for about an hour or two.
02:31:44.000 Now, I changed my mind completely on one thing back then.
02:31:52.000 I used to believe that the children of billionaires and the children of multimillionaires wouldn't be, what's the word, in touch with the common man, wouldn't understand the problems of the real world, wouldn't be as hardworking or as ambitious as a self-made person like their fathers or their grandfathers were.
02:32:13.000 And I was completely wrong.
02:32:15.000 I met Donald Trump Jr.
02:32:17.000 and he was one of the most impressive people I have ever met.
02:32:21.000 He'd been up since 6 o'clock that morning working already.
02:32:23.000 We're sitting in his office. He knew everything about every topic.
02:32:27.000 Topics that wouldn't even necessarily affect a man of his net worth.
02:32:31.000 At the time, I believe his father was the sitting president and he was running Trump Enterprises.
02:32:38.000 He had the time to sit and talk to myself and my brother, and I thought, wow, what an incredibly sharp, incredibly smart man this is.
02:32:46.000 So, obviously, Barron Trump, any political dreams he has are in the far future, probably.
02:32:54.000 He's very young. He has a lot to learn and a lot to do.
02:32:57.000 But from what I know of Don Jr., if his brothers are anything like him, yeah, we have future presidents in the Trump family already.
02:33:08.000 And I think that's what we need, because the Trump family can't be bought with money.
02:33:13.000 And that's one of the reasons why they hate Donald, the big Donald, so much.
02:33:19.000 I believe what he's doing in terms of his political goals, how great the country became during his four years of presidency, it's been ruined now, I think that he can really make America great again, but he needs someone to tag in when this is all over.
02:33:37.000 And I wish the Trump family the best of luck.
02:33:39.000 There definitely, definitely is leadership in the Trump family.
02:33:43.000 Future American presidents, no doubt.
02:33:45.000 And I really hope so.
02:33:46.000 I would really love, I'd be very comfortable and very happy to see these people in charge of the country over many terms, through many different men, throughout my lifetime.
02:34:00.000 Okay, I'm gonna scroll through the superchats now as I smoke, because I have many.
02:34:13.000 Can you stop saying rest in peace Shaggy?
02:34:17.000 Please. I don't know why you're paying money to type rest in peace Shaggy to me.
02:34:21.000 Yes. Yes.
02:34:25.000 Rory bought a goat.
02:34:27.000 Yes, he bought the goat to my house.
02:34:29.000 Yes, I killed and ate the goat.
02:34:31.000 I don't know what he expected me to do.
02:34:34.000 I don't really know what he thought was going to happen.
02:34:40.000 Of course I was going to kill his goat.
02:34:41.000 Stop typing rest in peace Shaggy.
02:34:43.000 I don't care about his goat.
02:34:45.000 I'm not even calling it by its name.
02:34:47.000 I care zero percent.
02:34:52.000 Hi Tristan. Looks like you love freedom of speech.
02:34:57.000 Blah blah blah. This particular chain is important because of freedom of speech etc etc.
02:35:03.000 Ah! Somebody.
02:35:04.000 Heidi. Wants me to shill their crypto.
02:35:09.000 Interesting. Well, I'm not going to, and I'm not going to say the name of that particular chain online.
02:35:20.000 Because why would I? Do I own some of the coins?
02:35:23.000 I own lots of different coins.
02:35:25.000 But the problem with me is, I don't want Any fan of mine to take what I say as financial advice, and the cryptos that you're all sending to me, hoping that I pump, I see as potential failures.
02:35:41.000 They could be potential failures.
02:35:43.000 Do I have some? Sure, I've got some.
02:35:45.000 But that doesn't matter. What I would say is, when I talk about crypto, I'm very careful.
02:35:54.000 I like certain things that perhaps I'm not big enough to affect.
02:35:58.000 I like Bitcoin. But if I say I like Bitcoin, I can't spike the Bitcoin price.
02:36:05.000 Ethereum, again, very interesting.
02:36:08.000 Venom Network, very, very interesting.
02:36:11.000 But that's a whole chain, you see.
02:36:13.000 That's an entire chain, not some individual coin that anyone can pump and dump.
02:36:18.000 So I'm a big believer in quite a few projects, but if you send me Superchats with particular names in it, I'm not going to read them out loud.
02:36:29.000 Because I don't believe in them that much, and I don't like them that much.
02:36:35.000 Where was I? There are some things we should never stop talking about.
02:36:50.000 I'm getting a lot of questions about him, so I'm very gonna quickly say Julian Assange should not be in prison.
02:36:56.000 He's committed no crime.
02:36:58.000 When I joked about the British government trying to use Romania, And their preventative detention laws to throw me in jail indefinitely until there's a trial or there isn't a trial.
02:37:10.000 I thought that was a very cruel trick by the English because they don't have preventative detention.
02:37:14.000 They don't just lock people up for no reason.
02:37:18.000 And they're trying to get the Romanians to do it with some of their own citizens, which I thought was very sad.
02:37:22.000 The UK certainly has betrayed me.
02:37:24.000 What I meant was, England doesn't throw people in jail for no reason and leave them to rot without trial, unless your name is Julian Assange.
02:37:33.000 That's what I meant. And yes, I follow his wife.
02:37:36.000 I follow the campaign to free him.
02:37:38.000 I think it's important that people don't forget his name.
02:37:41.000 I remember when he was first arrested.
02:37:43.000 I'm a lot older than some of you.
02:37:45.000 But essentially, he was exposing war crimes committed by the United States military.
02:37:49.000 Not that the United States military is all bad or that's full of bad people, but there were crimes being committed.
02:37:56.000 He... I guess released a lot of documents that people didn't want the average American who pays for these things to happen to actually see and to actually read.
02:38:05.000 And he was accused of rape by some anonymous woman or touching her inappropriately and he was put in jail and then he was hiding in the Ecuadorian embassy in London for years and now he's in jail still.
02:38:16.000 Who's that girl?
02:38:17.000 Who did he touch? No one knows.
02:38:19.000 You know, what's the evidence? No one knows.
02:38:22.000 America want to extradite him for...
02:38:24.000 Treason, even though he's not an American citizen, the Australians really should do something about it and take their boy home.
02:38:30.000 I believe he's Australian, isn't he?
02:38:32.000 Australian or South African? Whatever country he's from, take the bloody guy home and fucking let him go.
02:38:38.000 So yeah, don't stop talking about Julian Assange.
02:38:43.000 Jesus, how much trouble do I want to get in?
02:38:46.000 Hi, Tristan! I know your thoughts towards black actors playing James Bond.
02:38:51.000 Have you seen the new Romeo and Juliet couple?
02:38:54.000 I have one word.
02:39:02.000 And that word, the word that I'm going to hide behind, so you don't call me names like racist or misogynistic, is authenticity.
02:39:17.000 Authenticity is nice.
02:39:19.000 I've read the Bond books.
02:39:21.000 Yes, he should be white because it's authentic to the book and the creator who wrote the book.
02:39:27.000 I feel like if you were to make a black Harry Potter, that's fine as long as J.K. Rowling does it.
02:39:35.000 It's her character.
02:39:36.000 It's her book. She's allowed to make a black Harry Potter.
02:39:40.000 Ian Fleming is dead, however, so Bond should be white and nobody should be messing with the character he created.
02:39:45.000 Now, Shakespeare is super dead!
02:39:49.000 How much trouble do I want to get in?
02:39:53.000 Obviously, Romeo and Juliet should be white.
02:39:55.000 Both of them. Obviously.
02:39:57.000 Shakespeare did not write the play about a black girl and a white guy.
02:40:04.000 I know there are reimaginings of Romeo and Juliet and Shakespeare's work is now off copyright so you can do whatever you want with it.
02:40:12.000 But let's just say Romeo and Juliet is about a handsome young man and a beautiful young woman.
02:40:19.000 This woman not only does not match the description of Juliet racially, she doesn't match the description of Juliet at all.
02:40:29.000 And I feel like it's a virtue signal to promote the play, because I wouldn't know about this if it wasn't done in this way.
02:40:39.000 So I feel like it's a way of getting people talking.
02:40:42.000 And if I were a black actor, I would feel very upset being cast in a role for a character which I do not fit the description of just so it goes viral and people who like authenticity will attack it and people who are lunatics who are happy to butcher everyone's work will push it.
02:41:05.000 I'd feel very used if I were a black actor or actress.
02:41:09.000 And they put me in this role.
02:41:12.000 Just so it becomes some big viral hit that people get curious about and want to see.
02:41:18.000 And I feel like that's been done.
02:41:20.000 With Anne Boleyn.
02:41:21.000 With The Little Mermaid. I feel like that's why it's done.
02:41:26.000 And that's a very cheap way to use black actors.
02:41:30.000 And I don't like it.
02:41:33.000 So no, I think they should replace the Juliet with a white actress, but of course they won't because now everyone will go insane.
02:41:39.000 You can't do that now.
02:41:44.000 Burn myself. Hi Tristan, I'm a Romanian. What do you think about the future of immigration for Europe in regards to Romania?
02:42:12.000 I feel...
02:42:14.000 I can speak about countries as a bloc.
02:42:19.000 Poland, Romania, Hungary.
02:42:24.000 Let's take those three, for example.
02:42:28.000 I feel the EU is going to have a very tricky time selling immigration to us in the Balkans and in Eastern Europe.
02:42:38.000 And I'll tell you why.
02:42:40.000 I don't believe that the over use of immigration and the excessive flooding of countries like Germany and England and France can happen here.
02:42:55.000 Because I feel that people won't stand for it.
02:42:58.000 A lot of these people are bringing crime.
02:43:00.000 A lot of these people are bringing diseases and violence.
02:43:06.000 Whatever religion they are and whatever country they're from, many of them, most of them from the sub-Saharan African countries are uneducated.
02:43:13.000 They don't go to school. They don't know how to properly behave and interact with members of the opposite sex.
02:43:20.000 And I feel like countries like Sweden, England, Germany, France have really shot themselves in the foot.
02:43:27.000 By trying immigration again.
02:43:29.000 I think immigration worked when people from the former British Empire were coming.
02:43:33.000 The Indians, the Jamaicans, they aspired to British values.
02:43:36.000 They wanted to be British.
02:43:37.000 Their teachers were British. They spoke the language.
02:43:39.000 They had a special place in their heart for the royal family, for London, which was their capital when they were growing up.
02:43:45.000 And they showed up and everything was fine.
02:43:46.000 They became lawyers. They became doctors.
02:43:48.000 They became shopkeepers.
02:43:49.000 They became businessmen. No, the people who are coming across in rubber dinghies now are not doctors.
02:43:56.000 They're not scholars. They're not rocket scientists.
02:43:59.000 They're not going to be the backbone of Britain.
02:44:01.000 These men coming across in rubber dinghies are very dangerous.
02:44:03.000 And how do I feel it's going to affect Romania?
02:44:06.000 So I, as a man who's lived in Eastern Europe for the last 10 years, have seen the changes.
02:44:12.000 I've seen it. Seeing a black person or a brown person of any type in Romania eight years ago was exceptionally rare, and now it's becoming relatively commonplace.
02:44:22.000 You know, in France, the Frenchmen have lost their backbone ever since 1815.
02:44:31.000 If anyone knows that date, type it in the chat.
02:44:34.000 Since 1815, a lot of Frenchmen have lost their spine and lost their backbone.
02:44:39.000 Germans lost their backbone in 1945.
02:44:42.000 And... I think what's happened in countries like France is, it was very easy to psy-op the people.
02:44:52.000 It was very easy to say to the white Frenchman, who is French, don't worry, this guy from the Ivory Coast Republic, he's French too.
02:45:03.000 Part of our empire, speaks the French language, likes France, he's French too.
02:45:08.000 I'm not even saying that he's wrong.
02:45:10.000 He's not ethnically and racially a French man, but he comes from a French society and a French culture and he was ruled by France.
02:45:18.000 It's the same in England. We take people like even my friends of mine, like Marcel, whose grandparents came to England from Jamaica.
02:45:25.000 They came from the British Empire of Jamaica.
02:45:29.000 So Marcel may be a black man and he may not be ethnically British or ethnically white English.
02:45:34.000 However, he is a British person and British people like myself.
02:45:37.000 And I'm mixed race too. I'm half black myself.
02:45:39.000 And we're all accepted as British people because of the way England was set up and the way France was set up in this big empirical system with its empire and its various colonies and our language being spread everywhere.
02:45:52.000 It's going to be a very difficult sell To the Hungarians.
02:45:58.000 It's going to be very difficult to tell Hungarians that people from Syria...
02:46:06.000 You see where I'm going?
02:46:09.000 There's never been Hungary.
02:46:12.000 Arguably, there are parts of the world in Slovakia and Romania that the Hungarians live that aren't Hungary.
02:46:20.000 But Syria isn't one of them.
02:46:23.000 Sierra Leone isn't one of them.
02:46:25.000 Somalia isn't one of them.
02:46:27.000 And it's going to be very, very difficult to convince the Hungarian man that these Somali men, who speak English at best, certainly not Hungarian, are the new Hungarians.
02:46:40.000 And it's going to be very, very tricky to convince the Romanians that these people from the Democratic Republic of the Congo are the new Romanians.
02:46:51.000 They're just as Romanian as you.
02:46:55.000 Romania has never been set up as an empire.
02:46:57.000 It's never had foreign colonies.
02:46:59.000 It's never had any interest or doings in Africa.
02:47:02.000 Obviously, people say white people are evil.
02:47:03.000 They went to Africa, did X, Y, and Z. The Hungarians, the Romanians, the Slovaks, the Poles did precisely none of this ever.
02:47:11.000 And I feel like it's going to be a very difficult sell to convince the Polish that That the blacks and brown people who are ethnically different from them, from other parts of the world who don't know their language, are the new Poles.
02:47:28.000 Yeah. It's going to be very difficult.
02:47:32.000 And I also believe that the moment something bad happens...
02:47:38.000 I don't feel these nations are going to stand for it.
02:47:41.000 If something like a rape gang was uncovered, if something like a murder was committed or rape was committed or a few people who weren't I believe there would be serious backlash.
02:48:08.000 I mean serious violent backlash.
02:48:11.000 And I don't necessarily believe that the authorities will care that much.
02:48:17.000 They may well look the other way.
02:48:19.000 It's going to be a very tricky situation.
02:48:22.000 My advice is very simple.
02:48:24.000 Immigration can work as long as the people coming to the country have a healthy respect for the country.
02:48:29.000 So what I would say is, if you are a migrant moving to any country, Romania, Hungary, Poland, any of these countries in particular, move there with good intentions.
02:48:42.000 Don't break any laws.
02:48:44.000 Don't commit crimes and be a good person.
02:48:46.000 That's what I did.
02:48:47.000 I found myself in jail anyway.
02:48:49.000 But I think all migrants should respect the country that they move to 100%, just as I respect the countries that I'm a guest in 100%.
02:49:00.000 So we're going to find out very soon what I think of immigration in Romania.
02:49:04.000 I just hope no one does anything stupid here.
02:49:06.000 I hope no one here does anything bad.
02:49:08.000 I mean, I'm a foreigner and I'm accused of crimes here in Romania.
02:49:11.000 But luckily, luckily, the Romanians see me as one of their own because I've been here a very long time.
02:49:16.000 And luckily, the Romanians know that certain people within certain authorities are happy to set you up and steal all your money if you're an influential person.
02:49:25.000 So I'm seen as more remaining than ever now.
02:49:29.000 You know, the Romanians used to say to me, oh, don't drive cars that are too expensive and don't show off too much.
02:49:35.000 You know, here there are some people who could attack you and take your stuff and make problems for you.
02:49:39.000 I was like, bro, I'm not Romanian.
02:49:40.000 It's not gonna happen to me.
02:49:42.000 I'm fine. And now that they've attacked me in this way, I feel more Romanian than ever.
02:49:47.000 So, yeah, respect the laws of the country that you're moving to.
02:49:53.000 Do we have any more good questions?
02:50:00.000 Thank you for the phrase close but no cigar and where it originated from.
02:50:04.000 I already knew that because I know almost everything.
02:50:08.000 More rest in peace, Shaggy.
02:50:17.000 I feel morally obligated to donate because of my $2.4 million win inside of the real world.
02:50:22.000 I appreciate you reposting my win.
02:50:24.000 The re-find G on X. Yeah, I actually had the professors and the team dig into you a little bit and make sure that you're a $2.5 million...
02:50:35.000 The merger acquisition deal that you did from knowledge learned inside the real world was legit.
02:50:39.000 And it was legit. And I then reposted it.
02:50:42.000 So it's absolutely awesome that a young man like yourself can, you know, learn the business skills we teach inside the real world and end up as a multimillionaire at such a young age.
02:50:53.000 Credit to you. Join the real world.
02:50:56.000 There's a link below. I think it's absolutely awesome.
02:50:59.000 Every time I hear these success stories, it makes me just want to keep talking and keep going.
02:51:03.000 I mean, obviously we've been attacked in lots of ways.
02:51:05.000 You know, they've Had journalists join and leave and say, I was a member and I found it this way.
02:51:11.000 On my X account, there's page after page after page of wins from people inside the real world.
02:51:17.000 Just pages of wins.
02:51:18.000 People who've made millions, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or just thousands.
02:51:22.000 And they can't stop that.
02:51:25.000 They cannot stop... The real, genuine members of the real world from making money and from winning.
02:51:31.000 And there's big things happening with the real world.
02:51:33.000 It is the future.
02:51:34.000 It's going to continue to grow and expand.
02:51:37.000 And no matter what anybody does, I don't think it could possibly be stopped.
02:51:41.000 So, good luck.
02:51:44.000 University.com. You know where to find us.
02:51:47.000 Hi, Tristan. What do you think about how Saddam Hussein ran Iraq?
02:51:53.000 See, I like questions like this.
02:51:56.000 I really like questions like this.
02:51:58.000 I find them incredibly interesting.
02:52:00.000 I'll tell you how Saddam Hussein ran Iraq.
02:52:06.000 Americans were very easy to sigh up.
02:52:12.000 They're not easy to sigh up anymore.
02:52:14.000 I feel like America's waking up.
02:52:16.000 But they were very easy to sigh up.
02:52:19.000 He had brown skin.
02:52:20.000 He had a thick mustache.
02:52:22.000 He was a Muslim. You say he's a terrorist and he's a bad guy and he's got weapons of mass destruction.
02:52:27.000 Sure, let's send our young men to go and die in Iraq and kill a million innocent Iraqis.
02:52:31.000 Yeah, sure, absolutely. See, that was the American mindset in the late 2000s.
02:52:35.000 Sorry, in the early 2000s.
02:52:37.000 What's happened now, as I said, free speech, knowledge, information, Americans have become a lot more worldly, a lot more switched on.
02:52:44.000 People like Muammar Gaddafi, who was killed recently, Americans now understand that there was no reason for him to be killed and his country to be destabilized.
02:52:51.000 And I'll talk briefly about Saddam Hussein and what I think about him.
02:52:55.000 Did Saddam Hussein do some evil shit?
02:53:08.000 Yes. That's the answer.
02:53:13.000 Yes, he did do some evil shit.
02:53:16.000 Did Saddam Hussein lock up all of his political opponents and keep them in prison indefinitely for no reason?
02:53:22.000 Without trial or charge?
02:53:25.000 Yes, he did. But let me tell you something else about Saddam Hussein.
02:53:29.000 Saddam Hussein was Iraqi to his core.
02:53:33.000 You cut him, he bled Iraq.
02:53:35.000 His bones were Iraq.
02:53:37.000 He knew his country.
02:53:38.000 I don't know Iraq.
02:53:40.000 Americans don't know Iraq.
02:53:41.000 And none of us know how to govern Iraq.
02:53:46.000 Proven by the fact that America have had a hand in Iraq's politics ever since the invasion, and Iraq has turned to shit.
02:53:55.000 I feel like Saddam Hussein knew his own country.
02:53:58.000 So just as a very quick example, yes, he kept a bunch of political prisoners.
02:54:02.000 He kept a bunch of people who he said were dangerous.
02:54:05.000 And he said, these people against the regime, they're crazy.
02:54:08.000 I need to lock them up.
02:54:09.000 Listen, America, I know you don't understand.
02:54:10.000 You don't have people like this here.
02:54:13.000 These people are insane and I've locked them up because they're dangerous.
02:54:16.000 America's like, well, there's no trial.
02:54:18.000 You just locked them up.
02:54:20.000 You shouldn't do that as if America doesn't do that.
02:54:22.000 Yeah, Julian Assange once again.
02:54:23.000 Well, They got rid of Saddam Hussein, didn't they?
02:54:27.000 And they released all these innocent people who were not found guilty of any crime.
02:54:31.000 Turns out, all those people were ISIS. And they formed ISIS. I don't even like calling it ISIS, because I don't believe it is an Islamic state.
02:54:42.000 I believe the people of ISIS to be barbarians.
02:54:45.000 And when they were released from Saddam Hussein's prisons, they started chopping people's heads off and burning people at the stake.
02:54:51.000 So maybe, just maybe, Saddam Hussein, who was born in Iraq, lived in Iraq, ruled Iraq, knew everything about Iraq, knew how to run Iraq better than a bunch of white Americans who don't know shit about Iraq, who couldn't point to Iraq on a fucking map.
02:55:10.000 Yeah, I believe Saddam Hussein should have been left in power.
02:55:14.000 I believe Hosni Mubarak should have been left in power in Egypt.
02:55:17.000 I believe that Muammar Gaddafi should have been left in power in Libya.
02:55:20.000 I believe that these people should have been left to run their own countries.
02:55:26.000 Because they understand their country better than people in the West.
02:55:29.000 The West can't comprehend the mind of the Taliban-y Afghan.
02:55:33.000 They can't comprehend the mind of the Iraqi man, the ISIS militant.
02:55:40.000 They can't. And it just didn't work out.
02:55:44.000 Every time America has reared its ugly head in the Middle East and used its hand and its puppet strings to destabilize a country, nothing has got better.
02:55:54.000 Sure, under Saddam Hussein you had political prisoners, but do you know how many car bombings you had during his entire presidency?
02:56:05.000 Zero. Not one.
02:56:09.000 Would I trade Saddam Hussein back in power to bring back to life the one million people injured and killed in this unjust invasion, in this unjust war?
02:56:20.000 Yes. Yes, I would.
02:56:23.000 And I guess I'll use my last couple of minutes to give a shout out to George Galloway.
02:56:28.000 Because my first ever notion of knowing who George Galloway was, I was maybe 16 years of age, and he was speaking against...
02:56:38.000 The war in Iraq. Him and some very old members of Parliament in England who were alive during World War II were making very good points.
02:56:46.000 The British used to say, oh, London can take it.
02:56:49.000 Bombing us strengthens our resolve.
02:56:51.000 And there were men in the UK Parliament House who were old enough to remember that rhetoric from World War II and to say, well, does bombing not strengthen their resolve?
02:57:00.000 Why are they different to us? Do they not love their children and their country too?
02:57:03.000 And George Galloway spoke against this.
02:57:05.000 Now, me and George Galloway will disagree on loads of shit.
02:57:09.000 Immigration, for one.
02:57:13.000 Yeah, I think me and George Galloway would have a lot of disagreements.
02:57:16.000 However, I'm glad he's there in the House of Parliament.
02:57:19.000 I'm glad he is there because what he has done is he has upset the establishment, the established order, That has taken the reins in the UK and disguises itself as different political parties, Labour and Conservative, when they're all ideologically the same who take money from the same people.
02:57:37.000 George Galloway is a maverick in there to upset the established order.
02:57:41.000 So adding a little bit of chaos can't be a bad thing.
02:57:44.000 Thank God for democracy and God bless George Galloway.
02:57:49.000 Godspeed, sir. And I wish you the very best in your career in British politics.
02:57:54.000 Now! What I'm going to do is I've heard Nigel and Alex are streaming in my house when I'm supposed to do a cigar night.
02:58:08.000 So what I'm going to do is I'm going to join their stream.
