Tristan opens a new cigar and talks about his time in prison. Cigar Night is a cigar evening hosted by Tristan Talisman. Cigars are served in a glass case with a glass of Jack Daniel's and a bottle of tequila. This cigar is wrapped in 24karat gold leaf and has been in my humidor for a few months. It's been saved for a special occasion and I thought it would be a good idea to give it a try. Cigar Nights are a great way to meet other elite cigar smokers and get to know them a little bit better and have a chance to ask questions about cigars, cigars, and cigars. Cigars and teas are not to be consumed during this cigar evening. If you don't know how to smoke a good cigar, this is the episode for you! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!

00:30:17.000I just crossed two million on Twitter.
00:30:22.000And if you don't know how a cigar evening works, and if it's your first time here, I'm going to explain to you how it works.
00:30:27.000It's a very relaxed, chilled conversation between me and my fans, everybody who likes to listen to me.
00:30:34.000And I light up a cigar, and by the time the cigar is over, then your question time with me is over, and you have to stop talking to me, and I sign off and I go do other stuff.
00:30:44.000And what I typically do is I begin the evening by...
00:30:52.000Introducing what cigar it is that I smoke.
00:32:39.000The least impressive thing you could do when you talk to me is send me a picture of yourself with a cigar in your face or drinking a glass of whiskey.
00:32:47.000Saying, oh, look, Tristan, I'm like you.
00:32:49.000No, you're not like me. I only started smoking.
00:32:52.000I only started drinking, really, when I was already a retired professional athlete.
00:32:55.000I keep my body in exceptionally good form.
00:32:58.000I train every day, make sure I'm strong and powerful.
00:33:01.000And when I'm powerful enough, you're allowed to smoke.
00:33:05.000Because it's okay. But you have to pay for your sins and do the work.
00:33:08.000I remind people of that on every single podcast.
00:33:11.000Because I often get accused by people of promoting smoking and drinking when I do nothing of the sort.
00:33:19.000Now the way that this cigar evening works is I've asked already on Twitter for questions and I've written the most interesting of them down.
00:33:28.000I'm going to be reading some of them out and I'm also going to discuss what I'm not going to be talking about.
00:33:34.000But if you have a good question, send it to me across in a super chat.
00:33:38.000There's lots of them. I'm more likely to see the big super chats and more likely to answer.
00:33:43.000But I'm not one of these streamers begging or asking for money.
00:33:46.000Because all of this money is donated to Tate Pledge, mine and my brother's charity, where we typically use the funds to feed hungry children in war-torn countries all across the world.
00:33:57.000So all your money is going to a good cause.
00:33:59.000But if you want to get my attention, send those nice big super chats over.
00:34:02.000But I'm going to save you some money first and foremost and tell you what I'm not going to be talking about.
00:34:07.000I'm not going to be talking about my time in prison.
00:34:12.000And I'll tell you why. Not sure it's worth a thousand dollars, but... It's pretty good.
00:34:36.000Here's the reason I'm not going to be talking about my time in prison.
00:34:40.000And I'm going to do a quick shout out to a channel that I like.
00:36:32.000But if you're going to send super chats and you're going to ask me questions, do not ask me about what my experience in prison was like, because I'm not interested in answering that at this particular time and place.
00:36:44.000Now there's a bunch of questions I've been asked that I don't know if I should get into.
00:36:58.000The war in Ukraine. The Jewish question.
00:37:01.000People hit me with the flat earth with a bunch of wild, crazy shit.
00:37:07.000But as a intelligent, well-balanced individual, I'd like to think that I can answer some of these questions in a well-balanced, intelligent way without offending anybody, which is very important.
00:37:21.000So when people ask me, because these are the most common questions, I put stars next to them in terms of how many times I've counted that I've got these questions.
00:37:30.000People are asking me, Tristan, what do you think of this Dylan Mulvaney?
00:37:32.000What do you think of this Admiral who's transgender?
00:37:36.000The answer is, I don't live in the United States, so I don't think about transgenders.
00:38:00.000Look, let's take transgenderism for what it is.
00:38:04.000Transgenderism is, in one way or another, a form of plastic surgery, isn't it?
00:38:14.000If you wish to have a phalloplasty or implants and you're a man or you're a woman and you're getting stuff cut up and cut off and changed to appear differently on the outside, it is, in effect, a form of plastic surgery.
00:38:27.000And you couldn't be a convincing transgender person without plastic surgery.
00:38:32.000So, I don't really care who gets plastic surgery.
00:38:39.000But... We treat this particular type of plastic surgery very different from other types of plastic surgery.
00:38:49.000I'm going to give you an example of taking transgender language and applying it to other forms of plastic surgery.
00:38:58.000I know millions of girls with fake breasts, implants.
00:39:02.000And if we were to take their particular situation and frame it in the transgender ethos, it would go a little something like this.
00:39:13.000This girl with big fake tits doesn't have fake tits.
00:39:22.000She is a girl who has big tits, but she was born in a body of a woman with small tits.
00:39:30.000So the surgery she had isn't artificial.
00:39:35.000She was just affirming her true identity.
00:39:40.000She was affirming her true identity and you are not allowed to say her tits are fake.
00:39:46.000Not only are you not allowed to say her tits are fake, but she is going to go into schools and talk to young girls who are below the age of sexual consent about being born in the wrong body and how they may need tit-affirming surgery when they're older.
00:41:57.000That's Nazism. And also, I get to go into schools and talk to your children about my hair falling out and how one day they may need a hair transplant because they were born in the wrong body.
00:42:17.000On transgenderism, I guess summed up in a unique and intelligent way that perhaps you haven't heard before.
00:42:23.000I don't understand why no other type of healthcare or plastic surgery or medical care is affirming and why it's only this type of plastic surgery that gets its special treatment.
00:42:35.000I feel like you're allowed to get whatever surgery you like.
00:42:39.000If you are allowed to get fake hair, fake tits, Liposuction.
00:42:45.000You could get shin implants to be taller.
00:42:49.000Don't talk to my kids about your surgery.
00:42:52.000And don't tell me that that's natural and that that's who you really are.
00:43:17.000That's my attitude towards transgender people.
00:43:19.000But this is a very important question to ask because I feel like a lot of my fans, the younger and more ignorant people in my fan base, want me to get on here and trash transgender people.
00:43:31.000Look, I mean, they're going through some sort of struggle.
00:43:58.000Remember that. So, I get spammed all the time by racists, or Nazis, or white supremacists, or whatever you want to call them, who say, Tristan, you're scared to tackle the Jewish question.
00:44:13.000Now, I know some of you in this chat have probably just got a raging heart on right now.
00:44:16.000Tristan's going to talk about the Jewish question.
00:44:18.000Am I? Am I scared to address the Jewish question?
00:44:21.000Because I know what you mean when you say the Jewish question to me.
00:44:27.000I know what conspiracies you want me to peddle.
00:44:32.000Arguing that maybe disproportional numbers of people in certain positions in Hollywood or banking or whatever are Jewish doesn't seem like something worth moaning about to me.
00:44:48.000Because to me it's like moaning about the fact that most coal miners are men.
00:44:53.000There are discrepancies in race, religion, gender, religion, Yeah, the sound is working.
00:45:02.000In almost every profession in the world.
00:45:11.000Now, the Jewish question, and when people ask me to talk about it, is something along the lines of, well, they secretly control the world and they're keeping all of us down and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:45:25.000Here's why you could take your Jewish question and Shine it up real nice and stick it up your little racist butthole.
00:45:34.000Because I don't actually give a fuck if there were a secret cabal of Jewish people controlling the world or a secret cabal of black people controlling the world or a secret cabal of cisgender white men controlling the world or a secret cabal of Mexicans controlling the world.
00:46:31.000If you become a multi-billionaire and somehow Jews are messing with you, by all means, go on your stupid little crusade.
00:46:38.000But when you're living in your mother's basement, and you're poor, and you're broke, and you have no money, and no one cares who you are, and no one cares what you say, and you have no influence on the world, and why are you obsessing Over the fact that some Jewish people hold positions of power in the world.
00:47:06.000Because whether Jews control the world or blacks control the world or whites control the world or Mexicans or Chinese people control the world.
00:48:52.000All right, those two are out of the way.
00:48:56.000Next! And this is a very good one, and we're going to dive into my current situation a little bit with this one, because I get this one a lot.
00:49:03.000And I think of myself as a very fair person.
00:49:06.000And if haters of mine ask me to explain myself, I'm the first one to tell them to go suck a dick.
00:49:13.000But when fans of mine ask me for explanations to things that they find troubling, I am the first person to talk to my fans.
00:49:23.000So this question is actually, it came from some hater, some dork today on Twitter.
00:49:26.000I know he's watching. He said, hey, why don't you talk about how you say you're anti-porn, but you used to run a cam girl studio and it's immoral.
00:49:33.000And I said, yeah, I'll answer your question.
00:49:35.000Then he called me triggered, so I blocked him.
00:49:37.000I said, I politely told you I'd answer your question, but this comes from a lot of fans of mine as well.
00:49:41.000How can I be anti-porn when I used to run a webcam studio?
00:49:45.000Well, I'm sure most of you know the answer to that question.
00:49:52.000Most of you know. The answer to the question is, because people change.
00:51:18.000See, you have to understand, even back when I was an atheist and I had no problem running a streaming studio, you know, pretty girls would talk to dudes and get their tits out.
00:51:27.000I had no problem running this kind of business.
00:51:35.000And when I say I'm anti-porn and I tell young men you should not watch porn, ever, ever, ever said to young men, hey, go on webcams and watch them.
00:51:45.000It's good for you. It's good for your health.
00:52:21.000We're back. Very much like a man who runs a corner store could be against alcoholism and could be against violence.
00:52:29.000But... But a man can come into your corner store, buy five bottles of vodka a night, beat the shit out of his wife, you know, become an alcoholic, destroy his life.
00:52:41.000Personal responsibility is everybody's own burden to carry.
00:53:50.000With the current criminal charge against me and any business I used to run in the past, the official story is that in 2021, many years after any studio I ran was already shut, in 2021, I started kidnapping and brainwashing people to steal money from their social media websites.
00:54:18.000So any video of me saying, hey, I've got these webcam girls working for me, that's eight years old or seven years old, has nothing to do with the case.
00:54:24.000The police have seen them. The police have spoken to my ex-employees.
00:54:28.000Everyone told the police to get fucked.
00:55:18.000But Matt Walsh has some relatively unkind words and I think untrue words to say about my brother recently.
00:55:25.000And I'd like, because I know Matt Walsh will eventually see this, to correct him because I admire his work in short.
00:55:32.000And I don't want him to get the wrong idea about me because it's very easy when you listen to the mainstream media and the tabloids and the headline news To get a bad idea or a wrong idea about exactly who me and Andrew are and exactly what it is that we represent Matt Walsh's criticism of Andrew went a little something like this Yes, Andrew stands up for masculinity.
00:55:58.000Yes, young men need a hero to look up to.
00:56:01.000Yes, work hard, make money is a great thing to tell the young men.
00:56:04.000Yes, training is a good thing to tell the young men.
00:57:34.000Let's talk about two hypothetical people.
00:57:37.000One person believes what Matt Walsh believes.
00:57:39.000He's married to his wife, he has his three kids, he's a good Christian man, and he's raising them as best as he can.
00:57:45.000One of them is a fan of Andrew Tate or Tristan Tate.
00:57:49.000Him and his two brothers live in one giant house, they pool their resources, they make a bunch of money.
00:57:54.000They live with all three of their wives, all under one roof.
00:57:57.000Maybe one of them is a Muslim who has two wives or three wives.
00:57:59.000There are ten children in that household.
00:58:02.000And the ten children are being raised by this group of three men and five women.
00:58:07.000Everyone knows who their two parents are.
00:58:09.000There's nothing to generate or weird about it.
00:58:10.000But one is a family unit, as Matt describes, and one is a clan.
00:58:16.000Now, if we talk about the clan versus the American Christian family unit, I would argue that although Matt Walsh seems very happy with his wife and his kids, and I'm sure he is, and I wish him all the best, Statistically, that's not the experience.
00:58:35.000Statistics are against Matt's model because this usually fails.
00:58:41.000And when it fails, it could fail in lots of different ways.
00:58:43.000The woman can leave the man in the family unit and take his kids away and move in with another man.
00:58:49.000The man can die, or in which case that the family unit is left destitute and broke.
00:58:55.000A woman is left with her kids to look after them for herself.
00:58:59.000The man is at work. The woman may stay home, but one woman is trying to look after three or four kids by herself with very little help.
00:59:07.000I feel like there are many points of failure to the traditional Matt Wall-style family unit.
00:59:14.000Whereas in the clan style family unit, which is the way that humans always lived before civilization, if one of the men dies, you still have a good man in the household making money, able to take care of everybody.
00:59:28.000If one of the women leaves, you still have a household full of people willing and able to take care of the kids.
00:59:34.000The tribe is stronger. It is immune to things like divorce.
00:59:40.000It is immune to things like the death of one single person.
00:59:44.000I feel like my family unit is stronger and better than his.
00:59:49.000And I am going to raise more kids who may be more successful and better educated and contribute more to the world than his kids.
01:00:00.000Maybe. But, you know, to say Andrew Tate just wants to run around and have sex with girls on a yacht, you've watched one video of him on a yacht, of which none of the women there I think he was even having sex with.
01:00:13.000We like to have fun, we like to do our things, but we take family very, very seriously.
01:00:16.000And if you look at the way me and Andrew have come up in the world, from nobody...
01:00:21.000To multi-multi-multi-millionaire most influential men on the planet without ever doing anything illegal.
01:00:26.000Yeah, I know though. Your human trafficker is going to come out.
01:00:29.000Everyone knows I'm not. I believe that me and Andrew sticking together as a clan has been very, very successful.
01:00:34.000And I think that Matt Walsh would be more successful today if he had a brother who he worked together with and lived together with and helped raise his children and whose kids got along.
01:00:43.000That would be wonderful. So I would argue that my family unit is better.
01:00:47.000So I take your rebuke, Matt Walsh, and I raise you that clans are better than individual marriages because the statistics on them suck.
01:00:56.000And I have no doubt that you're going to be happy.
01:01:09.000Speaking of coming to see where I live, I want to address a very serious issue that's been happening lately.
01:01:15.000Fans of mine... I've been trying to show up at my house.
01:01:20.000Now, people have tried to show up at my house, tried to argue with my security, tried to bring chocolates thinking they're funny, thinking that there's a chance that they may get a picture with me, exchange a word with me through the gate, or that something beneficial or positive might happen to them.
01:01:37.000I'm going to explain what happens to people when they come to my house.
01:04:22.000It's that simple. Tristan, what do you think of student loan cancellations?
01:04:31.000Should we cancel student debt for all those hard-working university students who have buried themselves in debt and they can't pay for their own choices?
01:06:50.000While the fry cooks are fry cooking away.
01:06:52.000And the janitors are sweeping and mopping away.
01:06:55.000And after that person gets out of university...
01:07:00.000He goes to McDonald's and says, okay, I want a job now in the economy, in the McDonald's restaurant.
01:07:06.000And they say, okay, you are now the assistant manager of McDonald's.
01:07:10.000He is the boss. He holds a position of authority in society, in the economy, in the ecosystem, over everybody else, all of his peers who decided not to go to university, all of the people who decided to hit the workforce early and not get that education.
01:07:48.000The men who sweep the streets pay tax.
01:07:50.000Why should these people fund the education of the others who wish to lead from the front in positions of authority because of their education and their knowledge?
01:08:05.000Why? The answer is you shouldn't And then there's the age-old argument.
01:08:11.000Well, Tristan, not all degrees are as useful as others.
01:08:15.000Some people come out of university and they're broke.
01:08:44.000The economy needs cars. But if you decide to buy a really old Chevy Mustang that you could try to make work because it looks really cool and it doesn't work all the time, that's your fault for making that choice.
01:08:55.000And it's not the people who drive Toyota's problem to pay tax money to fix your fucking Mustang.
01:09:02.000In the same way that if you are a dummy and you decide to go study gender studies at Boston Tech or whatever, and some smart guy decides to get a law degree or to go to medical school to become a doctor or do something useful, then fuck you!
01:09:21.000And fuck your stupid degree and fuck your student debt.
01:09:41.000When I go out and spend $10,000 drinking champagne and wake up with remorse the next day, like, oh, I shouldn't have bought that champagne.
01:09:47.000That was stupid. It just gave me a headache.
01:12:09.000Which is a very different question to your favorite historical figure.
01:12:13.000So I thought I'd educate you all on a king called Albert I of Belgium.
01:12:26.000Who was the King of Belgium during World War I. Why is Albert I my favorite world leader of all time?
01:12:34.000Because Albert I was the last leader to maintain an age-old tradition.
01:12:46.000And that age-old tradition is leading his army from the front.
01:12:55.000In World War I, when Kaiser Wilhelm was comfortable in Germany, when the marshals of France were comfortable on their train, relaxing, and the men were dying in the trenches, do some reading on Albert I of Belgium and what he was doing.
01:13:09.000He enlisted in the army, he led attacks himself over the trenches and fought in the mud alongside his men.
01:13:18.000Which isn't that weird in a historical context, but for the time it was weird, especially because he was the Kaiser's cousin, by the way.
01:13:25.000He was the cousin of the Kaiser of Germany, and he was fighting against them.
01:13:28.000And two, because he was the last man ever to do it.
01:13:31.000And I feel like that tradition died with him.
01:13:35.000Andrew recently said on the PBD podcast, shout out to Patrick by David, it's a G, that politics, real politics ended when leaders stopped fighting from the front.
01:13:46.000When leaders stopped charging headfirst with the rest of their army at the enemies, that's when real politics ended.
01:13:54.000Because they're happy to send us all to go die in ditches and go die in wars.
01:14:43.000But I recently tweeted, I will boycott any movie where James Bond is black, Asian, or South American, or female, white male Bonds only.
01:14:53.000And everyone lost their fucking mind again, started calling me a fucking racist again, Which annoys me, because obviously I'm half black myself, but I don't want a black actor playing James Bond.
01:15:07.000And people will say stupid things, but why can't he be black?
01:15:12.000I'll tell you why. Because I don't think you should fuck with another man's work.
01:15:17.000I think if another man develops something really iconic or really special, I don't believe in messing with it and putting a spin on it and then pretending you're somehow more intelligent than he is.
01:15:31.000So, Ian Fleming was an author, and he wrote 12 books about a character named James Bond.
01:15:37.000They were the most famous series of books, arguably, ever written.
01:15:41.000They spawned more movies than most books ever written.
01:15:44.000He created the most common, sorry, the most iconic character that's ever been come up with, arguably.
01:15:53.000And in every single book that you read, because I have read all 12 of them, is there 13?
01:15:59.000But are you counting The Spy Who Loved Me?
01:16:02.000Because The Spy Who Loved Me is not really a James Bond novel.
01:16:04.000It was written by Ian Fleming, but it is told from a female's perspective.
01:16:08.000Don't get technical with me. My point is this.
01:16:14.000It is not anyone's job, some woke, Hollywood, wannabe, cool movie producer, to sit around...
01:16:23.000Now that Ian Fleming is dead, and the description of Bond in every book is white skin, black hair, ice blue eyes, thin lips, thin lips, I'm half black, look at the size of these.
01:19:53.000You don't need people like Idris Elba, who is a guy who I've met and an intensely talented actor and a super cool guy, by the way, who makes amazing movies.
01:20:54.000Is it French people? If French people wanted to riot, I think the time for French people to riot was when that Syrian migrant male who should not have been let into Europe ran around stabbing babies.
01:21:37.000I feel like countries in times of strife should send their women and children to Europe, and I'd be happy to take the women and children in.
01:21:43.000I don't think military-aged males in large numbers should flood into any country.
01:21:47.000And that's not anti-Islamic, and that's not anti-black, and that's not anti-brown.
01:21:51.000It's not anti-white, because I don't think Ukrainian men should be flooding into France.
01:21:55.000I just don't think men should be flooding into other countries in large numbers with nothing to do but rely on the state.
01:22:03.000I think men should stay in their country and rebuild the country and deal with the problems.
01:22:07.000I think Europe should take women and children only.
01:22:08.000So my thoughts on the riots in France, I guess I have questions about the riots.
01:22:32.000He was running from the police. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
01:22:38.000I don't know what to say about the riots in France.
01:22:41.000I think the situation will never become clear because the French will suppress the news.
01:22:44.000France is the only country that has banned rumble.
01:22:47.000You can't watch this in France without a VPN. So you know what?
01:22:51.000Fuck France. I wish the best for all the French people.
01:22:53.000I wish they had a leader like Charles de Gaulle like they did in World War II. I wish brave French men would make a comeback and take their fucking country back.
01:23:01.000Not just from migration or any of the issues that it's facing, but from dickheads like Macron.
01:23:08.000So I'll pray for the people of France and I wish you all the best.
01:23:11.000Nigel Farage recently said that he's lost all his banks.
01:23:20.000From big banking groups, all his banks have just cut him off just because you're not allowed a bank account anymore.
01:23:37.000And I'm glad they're doing it to a less polarizing character.
01:23:42.000Like Nigel Farage, who I think is a total gentleman.
01:23:45.000And I would happily, happily let him lead the United Kingdom above any other politician that exists right now.
01:23:52.000Nigel Farage is one of the realest politicians in the whole of the UK. And I wish he could take power, but the system simply won't allow him.
01:24:25.000People have the right to banking access.
01:24:27.000He tried to set up banking access in local post offices.
01:24:29.000I think that's one of Obama's policies.
01:24:30.000So even if you're a liberal, you believe everyone is allowed to have access to banks because that was an Obama-era policy in the United States.
01:24:35.000So yeah, you shouldn't be fucking with anyone's banks.
01:24:37.000Hey Tristan, comment on the Justin Roiland situation.
01:24:46.000So I actually know what you're talking about because I did a tweet on Justin Roiland before If anyone doesn't know who Justin Roiland is He's the co-creator and the voice behind most of the characters on a hit show called Rick and Morty Which is relatively entertaining.
01:26:05.000He will be, despite never facing criminal charges and never having enough evidence to put him in jail, he will be labeled as a wife-beater and a man who is domestically violent for the rest of his life.
01:26:42.000But once I'm found not guilty, once I'm free to continue my life, there will be people in every corner in the world who, when they hear the name Tristan Tate, will think human trafficker.
01:26:53.000Which actually, as a father, makes me sick.
01:26:56.000Because if I stood in front of a man and they said, oh, this guy, he went to jail.
01:27:00.000And I said, what for? And they said, oh, we used to kidnap women and force him into prostitution.
01:27:07.000I can't think of anything worse to be called.
01:27:09.000I've almost, sad to say, got used to it.
01:27:14.000And I'm going to have to get used to it because I'm now a human trafficker forever.
01:27:17.000Which is sickening. So Justin Roiland...
01:27:19.000I'm not saying he is a domestic abuser, and I'm not saying he's not a domestic abuser.
01:27:24.000What I'm saying is, there's no evidence he ever did these things, but he got fired from his show and his name has now been dragged through the dirt, and he will forever be known as a domestic abuser, irregardless of whether it happened or not.
01:27:36.000I genuinely believe that for sexual related crimes, Or for crimes like violence against women.
01:27:47.000I genuinely believe they should protect the name of the man accused and the person who's making the allegations until the case is over.
01:27:55.000If the man is found guilty, by all means, put him up on the TV, drag his name through the dirt.
01:27:59.000Because let me tell you something, if they had to protect my name, this case would have been dropped a long time ago.
01:28:04.000It's only going on because of the media.
01:28:06.000There's immense international pressure.
01:28:08.000Because I apparently kidnap women and fucking make them walk the streets and suck dicks and do disgusting things.
01:29:05.000The Count of Monte Cristo is a book about a man who's coming up in the world, a self-made individual, very smart, very charming, very charismatic, due to be wed to a very beautiful girl.
01:29:15.000When a team of ungrateful, furious, jealous, angry people set him up and throw him in jail for a crime he doesn't commit.
01:29:23.000He serves 13 years in prison for a crime that he didn't commit, that didn't happen.
01:29:29.000And when he gets released, he becomes one of the richest, most influential men in the world.
01:29:33.000And he uses that influence to wreak revenge on everybody who wronged him.
01:29:39.000Ironically, that's been my favorite book for the last six years.
01:30:24.000This is topical, so I guess I'll cover it.
01:30:27.000I don't really like to go into racial issues too much but I do like it because I get to give a balanced perspective because I'm obviously not biased on any side.
01:30:35.000Affirmative action. The Supreme Court was completely correct to throw it out.
01:31:45.000Now that these Democrats are saying that he climbed up a ladder of affirmative action after trying to hold him down, that's a very sick thing to say.
01:31:52.000Justice Clarence Thomas earned absolutely everything he has in the world.
01:32:33.000No, I do not think any black person who's the descendant of slaves should get reparations.
01:32:40.000One, because I'm a half-black person, I am the descendant of slaves, and I do not want white people in the United States to give me any money.
01:32:53.000My dad would not have wanted white people to give him any money, and he's certainly a black man.
01:32:59.000A lot of white Americans, like the Italians, didn't even come to America until 1919, 1910, 1920, decades after slavery was abolished.
01:34:04.000He was stopping disparity between employment.
01:34:08.000More fathers with jobs would have stayed home.
01:34:10.000That's a big problem in the black community too.
01:34:13.000Donald Trump, when he was in charge, had the lowest instance of black unemployment in American history.
01:34:21.000Isn't that wild? Now, if you were to fix society like that, Where black people were no more unemployed than white people.
01:34:30.000Black people's income was no lower on average than white people.
01:34:33.000Black university education was just as high as white people.
01:34:38.000Black high school pass rates were just as high as people.
01:34:42.000Those are the reparations that the black community needs.
01:34:46.000And I believe the Republicans were getting the job done.
01:34:49.000Those are the reparations that black people need.
01:34:53.000Because let me tell you something. If you do not equalize society, if you do not educate, if you do not fix communities, if you do not fix the problem with fathers not being at home in the black community, and you write everyone a check, the problems are going to become worse.
01:35:11.000They're going to become 10 times worse.
01:35:13.000Or even if they stayed the same, in 10 years time, 20 years time, when a well-meaning politician comes along and says, hey, We need to fix the black unemployment rate.
01:35:27.000Somebody could say, no, they've been paid.
01:35:33.000Now they have to punch it our way or else.
01:35:35.000When someone says, hey, black fathers aren't at home as much as white fathers, someone can quite rightly come along and say, nope, we paid them in 2023.
01:35:44.000We're equal. And that's a disturbing prospect.
01:35:52.000The problems being fixed are the reparations and once the problems are fixed, no well-meaning or intelligent black person is even going to ask for financial reparations.
01:36:03.000I think that's been well over an hour.
01:36:28.000I think I'm going to call this cigar night a night.
01:36:33.000It's your last two minutes to give me any good questions.
01:36:39.000And if they're not good, then I'm going to hang up.
01:38:10.000And I'm going to try to explain this in a way that doesn't offend anybody.
01:38:13.000I'm going to try to explain this in a way that most people of the brain can think, whether they're pro-Putin or pro-Zelensky, and try to understand the example I'm giving.
01:38:25.000So I'm not going to talk about Ukraine.
01:38:27.000I'm going to talk about a country that no longer exists.
01:39:45.000They put United Nations peacekeepers in to try and stop the fighting and to try and stop the violence.
01:39:51.000Now, whether you are pro-Ukrainian or pro-Russian, you have to understand that before Zelensky, before all of this, Poroshenko, The leader of Ukraine seized power, banned all other political parties, and started enacting violence on other people within his country.
01:40:15.000Now, with Yugoslavia, everybody's happy to say, yeah, the Americans saved the day by jumping in and stopping the violence and stopping the killing.
01:40:21.000But the people being killed by Poroshenko, and this is before Zelensky, so I'm not saying anything about him, were ethnic Russians.
01:40:28.000And it's a very tricky situation, a very tricky situation, Because when Putin steps in and says, oh, no, I'm intervening here because you're killing ethnic Russians, the West is very quick to criticize him.
01:40:40.000But the war in Yugoslavia was in the early 90s.
01:40:42.000It wasn't so long ago when America had a very similar response and the attitudes of the people in the world were very different.
01:40:50.000If you want to hate Russian people, I would advise you not to.
01:40:54.000I would advise you to understand that during World War II, Russia were the allies of the people in the West.
01:41:00.000I would advise you to actually look at who the real heroes of World War II are, although the D-Day landings are what we are taught and they are iconic and they were very important events.
01:41:10.000And the men who landed on the shores of Normandy were exceptionally brave and did an amazing thing to defeat Nazi Germany.
01:41:18.000I would ask you, what are the most deadly battles of World War II? What's the most deadly battle that ever took place?
