The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters #1336

00:00:00.000 Thank you.

00:00:30.000 Thank you.

00:01:00.000 Thank you.

00:01:30.000 Thank you.

00:02:00.000 Thank you.

00:02:30.000 Nate, listen, we were talking about being high energy before this, but Nate and I haven't

00:02:35.980 had any coffee yet.

00:02:37.460 And I started this off with a massive yawn right before it started.

00:02:40.540 So in case you're wondering, there you go.

00:02:43.800 Do you know what won't put you to sleep though?

00:02:45.460 Islander.

00:02:47.720 Islander will keep you focused.

00:02:49.820 It will keep you full energy.

00:02:51.760 It'll keep you virile.

00:02:52.800 It'll keep you...

00:02:53.660 That's not part of the sales pitch, Josh.

00:02:56.520 It works for me.

00:02:57.460 I mean, whatever helps, I suppose, you know.

00:03:00.040 Better than video games.

00:03:00.840 Yeah.

00:03:03.600 There are no articles on virility as far as I'm aware in the article.

00:03:08.440 Maybe in the magazine.

00:03:10.300 Maybe I missed that one.

00:03:11.100 I'm not in the magazine, so...

00:03:11.940 Thank God for that.

00:03:13.420 And yet another reason to buy it.

00:03:18.160 So buy it now.

00:03:19.300 And apart from that, we're going to be talking about the left continually getting worse.

00:03:23.580 I mean, is this news?

00:03:25.440 I assume this is your segment.

00:03:27.780 Poison the well a bit.

00:03:29.020 It's just like...

00:03:29.980 Is that news?

00:03:31.600 Oh, I don't even care.

00:03:33.180 Just ignore the first 20 minutes.

00:03:34.740 I mean, it's like the sun...

00:03:35.940 Yeah, sure, you can skip it if you want.

00:03:37.320 It's like the sun rising and setting, you know.

00:03:39.560 It's guaranteed to happen.

00:03:40.860 Of course, they're just going to keep getting worse.

00:03:42.500 We're going to talk about the never-ending growth of Big Brother watching you.

00:03:46.760 And I'm going to be talking about my new favourite YouTube sub-genre,

00:03:50.340 which is welfare ethnography investigations.

00:03:53.440 Is that news, Harry?

00:03:54.640 Yeah.

00:03:55.540 Okay.

00:03:56.100 Yeah, it is, actually.

00:03:57.040 If you say so.

00:03:58.180 I do say so.

00:03:59.660 Do you know why I know?

00:04:00.540 Because I'm going to be presenting it.

00:04:01.660 Speaking of which, time to get on with your segment, then, you lazy sod.

00:04:05.900 I work very hard, thank you very much.

00:04:08.760 What have I walked into?

00:04:10.800 I'm sorry.

00:04:11.340 A lover's spat.

00:04:12.520 I was going to say, it's got that vibe, hasn't it?

00:04:16.120 Anyway, I'm going to be talking about how the left is getting worse in the United States.

00:04:21.680 I know, pinch yourself.

00:04:22.800 It is a shock.

00:04:25.020 But I think it's still important to understand the nature of how they're getting worse.

00:04:29.220 Because it's getting to the point now where it is a matter of public safety.

00:04:33.960 And it is something that actually is very serious, even though I might joke around about it.

00:04:38.200 But I'm worried that things are on a knife edge of spiraling out in tit-for-tat murder, basically.

00:04:46.460 Because it's pretty close.

00:04:48.120 And what we're going to see here is, you know, Minnesota, Minneapolis in particular,

00:04:54.140 seems to be very, very close to being at a point where people are just forming mobs and trying

00:05:00.300 to kill people that they disagree with politically.

00:05:03.520 Which, if you're...

00:05:04.580 Sane, isn't it?

00:05:05.880 Exactly.

00:05:06.600 If you're a student of Roman history, that is end-of-the-republic stuff.

00:05:10.460 Although, of course, that's a little bit hyperbolic, but...

00:05:13.400 Should I have brought my beanie on for this one?

00:05:15.600 I'm not necessarily suggesting there's going to be a civil war anytime soon,

00:05:19.100 but there could certainly be political violence.

00:05:22.640 Which, you know, is that a civil war or not?

00:05:25.080 Is a debate, which I'm sort of open-minded to.

00:05:27.980 But anyway, it all, of course, starts off with ICE going there and doing their job

00:05:33.440 and arresting people who have broken into the country illegally.

00:05:37.240 Here is a member of ICE telling off people.

00:05:40.340 I think they're actually speaking to a journalist here.

00:05:43.240 But let's just hear what he has to say.

00:05:45.280 We're here to arrest a child sex offender.

00:05:51.380 And you guys are out here honking.

00:05:54.540 You get the idea.

00:05:56.780 Brilliant.

00:05:57.440 The people who are coming out and protecting these people,

00:06:00.980 they don't mind that they're sex offenders and terrible people.

00:06:05.060 And in fact, if we go to the next one here,

00:06:10.140 here we have Sheriff Grady who says that,

00:06:13.280 it says in the writing here at 76,

00:06:16.100 it's actually 74 is what he says,

00:06:18.540 illegals detained in the county have criminal charges.

00:06:23.440 So they're protesting about a vast majority of the people being rounded up

00:06:28.620 having already committed crimes and already being criminals.

00:06:32.240 It really shouldn't, that shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, quite frankly.

00:06:35.400 It's baffling that you've got to come out and say that

00:06:37.720 to try and calm people down, to be like,

00:06:39.240 look, can we get rid of these problem people?

00:06:42.320 I mean, the first crime is them entering the country illegally in the first place.

00:06:46.060 Well, that's enough for me.

00:06:46.680 Actually, 100% of illegals detained in the country are criminals.

00:06:50.580 I agree.

00:06:51.240 But I suppose you could say that 74% have committed subsequent crimes

00:06:54.920 is the most accurate way of putting it, isn't it?

00:06:56.760 And what it has resulted in is what looks like, I don't know,

00:07:02.640 a scene from The Road, perhaps, or some other dystopian...

00:07:06.580 I'm going to try and turn the sound off of this because it's annoying.

00:07:11.420 Someone's navigation going off.

00:07:13.380 But look at the state of it.

00:07:14.880 Have they set a fire in a petrol station?

00:07:17.220 It looks like it, although I think the petrol station is abandoned,

00:07:19.820 if that makes you feel any better.

00:07:21.120 I would hope so.

00:07:22.860 What a crap hole.

00:07:26.880 I've mentioned before how the way that the American system seems to be worked

00:07:31.500 is California is awful,

00:07:34.080 therefore everywhere else in the country has to be California.

00:07:37.460 Look at this as well.

00:07:38.860 Like, people, there's power,

00:07:41.060 and they've graffitied over the petrol station people's way.

00:07:44.020 Well, great populism, you don't have a gas station there anymore.

00:07:47.200 Well done.

00:07:47.680 Ironically, the petrol station no longer providing petrol,

00:07:50.680 therefore no power.

00:07:53.520 There's a bitter irony there, isn't there?

00:07:56.540 And, of course, things have been escalating a little bit further

00:07:59.500 because although the left pretends to be averse to guns,

00:08:02.980 they seem to like turning up with them.

00:08:04.540 Here is an anti-ice protester sitting with a firearm here.

00:08:09.460 You get the gist of it.

00:08:11.460 But it sort of suggests intentions here, doesn't it?

00:08:14.060 If you're turning up to protests, which I believe is illegal as well there,

00:08:19.660 that you turn up to a protest with a gun,

00:08:21.340 I can sort of see the appeal of, you know...

00:08:24.280 Defending yourself.

00:08:25.720 If you think that there's a genuine risk,

00:08:27.980 if there are...

00:08:28.700 Like, for instance, you could say the same thing about Rittenhouse back in 2020, right?

00:08:32.160 Yes.

00:08:32.580 He showed up to what was a quote-unquote protest with a gun,

00:08:35.980 which is one of the things that people try to use as evidence

00:08:38.200 that he was going out to try to kill people.

00:08:40.520 But the thing was, they were riots,

00:08:42.400 and he was specifically being asked to help protect a local business.

00:08:47.160 These people are going out because...

00:08:49.520 They're the ones rioting.

00:08:51.400 Yeah.

00:08:51.840 Really.

00:08:52.320 So they're not really protecting anything other than their own interests.

00:08:56.220 And it's not only just people being seen with a gun.

00:08:59.820 There is a guy here who was arrested with a gun.

00:09:03.500 Here is Homeland Security saying,

00:09:04.980 Last night during a riot in Minneapolis,

00:09:07.140 a US citizen was arrested for assaulting officers while carrying a firearm.

00:09:10.600 The individual showed up to the protest with a gun

00:09:12.760 and a box of ammunition in a bag.

00:09:14.700 The individual threatened violence against law enforcement officers

00:09:17.580 while pointing at the bag.

00:09:20.140 So the implication being,

00:09:21.280 I will shoot you, basically.

00:09:23.980 And obviously...

00:09:25.140 A weak moustache as well.

00:09:26.320 It does.

00:09:26.860 A pathetic.

00:09:28.300 They deserve to be mocked.

00:09:29.940 Yeah.

00:09:30.900 That is just terrible.

00:09:32.320 Also, chapped lips.

00:09:33.440 Take better care of yourself.

00:09:35.820 Outrageous.

00:09:36.780 So,

00:09:37.840 I didn't realise I was certain on Queer Eye.

00:09:41.660 Sorry.

00:09:42.700 I know.

00:09:43.160 They deserve a little bit of mockery, alright?

00:09:44.580 If you've got a shit tash,

00:09:45.940 I mean a crap tash,

00:09:46.880 that requires mockery, alright?

00:09:50.460 I don't know,

00:09:50.880 I think it's just that he looked more Mexican than anything,

00:09:53.380 so that's bad.

00:09:53.940 Ooh!

00:09:55.500 Shots fired.

00:09:56.540 I see it.

00:09:57.720 So,

00:09:58.380 not only are they carrying firearms,

00:10:00.500 but they're going around in crowds,

00:10:01.960 beating people up.

00:10:02.660 I'm going to turn this off,

00:10:03.560 because there is some swearing.

00:10:05.560 And I don't want to punish your innocent ears.

00:10:08.880 But what's going on here is...

00:10:10.680 What?

00:10:11.020 They chase this guy down,

00:10:12.340 and he's on the floor.

00:10:13.680 I think because he had a camo jacket,

00:10:15.980 they thought he was right wing.

00:10:17.400 And then eventually a guy comes along,

00:10:20.400 he's just like,

00:10:20.960 he's one of ours,

00:10:21.800 he's one of ours.

00:10:22.480 So they're so desperate to find people,

00:10:25.760 that they're beating up their own supporters,

00:10:28.980 or protesters,

00:10:29.700 whatever you want to call them,

00:10:30.500 rioters.

00:10:31.260 Not at all deranged.

00:10:32.360 Seditionists.

00:10:33.880 That's super deranged behaviour.

00:10:35.700 It is, yeah.

00:10:36.560 It's crazy as well to me.

00:10:37.540 Like,

00:10:38.000 as you grow older,

00:10:40.120 and, you know,

00:10:41.340 of an older generation,

00:10:44.320 you would have been in a fight as a kid,

00:10:47.220 so you understand the danger of violence.

00:10:49.800 A lot of these absolute dysgenic losers

00:10:53.400 have never been in a fight,

00:10:55.060 and therefore they don't understand.

00:10:56.900 Like,

00:10:57.120 some of them obviously do want to do

00:11:00.160 some serious harm,

00:11:01.280 but some of them,

00:11:02.120 I don't think they realise that,

00:11:03.640 you know,

00:11:03.940 a sharp knock to the head could kill you.

00:11:06.160 A lot of these people are just LARPing.

00:11:08.040 Yeah.

00:11:08.560 And the problem with what you were talking about

00:11:10.120 with the escalation

00:11:11.620 was something that I saw

00:11:13.060 following the Rene Good shooting,

00:11:16.080 which I have complicated feelings about,

00:11:19.100 because I do think there was some grey area there

00:11:22.080 that I'm not going to try and go over

00:11:24.580 the litigation of what happened.

00:11:26.020 But,

00:11:27.460 a lot of online right-wingers

00:11:30.080 that I saw talking about it

00:11:31.560 were not talking about it

00:11:32.700 from the perspective of

00:11:33.660 whether he was legally justified

00:11:35.440 to open fire,

00:11:36.560 given the situation that he was in.

00:11:38.920 You had Matt Walsh and others

00:11:40.920 coming out and saying,

00:11:42.240 actually,

00:11:43.300 intent doesn't matter,

00:11:45.100 basically just shoot her

00:11:46.700 because she was a left-winger.

00:11:48.460 And I saw a lot of other people on Twitter

00:11:50.860 coming out with similar sentiments,

00:11:54.260 people sharing pictures of her face

00:11:55.740 and going like,

00:11:56.860 well, she looked like a nagging woman,

00:11:58.540 so she deserved it.

00:11:59.260 Basically saying,

00:12:00.260 she deserved it because she was left-wing.

00:12:02.020 And I don't agree with what she was doing.

00:12:03.440 I think she was being stupid.

00:12:04.600 She was protecting,

00:12:06.420 you know,

00:12:06.980 child,

00:12:07.760 like,

00:12:08.400 sexual rapists and criminals and such.

00:12:12.480 But,

00:12:12.920 Matt Walsh and all those guys on Twitter

00:12:15.500 aren't going out onto the streets

00:12:18.160 Proud Boys style

00:12:19.860 to try and defend ICE.

00:12:22.080 They're not going out onto the streets

00:12:23.700 Proud Boys styles

00:12:24.740 to try and meet these violent left-wing protesters

00:12:28.200 where they are.

00:12:30.320 They're escalating the tensions

00:12:31.920 without actually really doing anything.

00:12:34.420 And left-wingers will see that

00:12:35.840 and go,

00:12:36.620 well,

00:12:36.880 they just want to kill us

00:12:37.740 for being left-wing.

00:12:38.940 We better go out

00:12:39.680 and defend ourselves then.

00:12:41.300 And they go out

00:12:41.880 and they do this.

00:12:43.460 It's tit for tat.

00:12:44.320 It is.

00:12:44.640 It's a tit for tat

00:12:45.640 sort of feedback loop in a sense.

00:12:47.920 And what will happen is

00:12:48.940 there'll be,

00:12:49.560 if it escalates further,

00:12:51.000 there'll be a downward spiral of violence

00:12:52.740 to the point where it's widespread.

00:12:54.700 There's a flashpoint.

00:12:55.220 There'll be a flashpoint.

00:12:55.880 Exactly.

00:12:56.940 And you,

00:12:57.420 yeah,

00:12:57.780 you come back from a precipice like that.

00:13:00.860 From these as well,

00:13:01.740 you can see how close

00:13:03.280 they've come

00:13:04.440 multiple times

00:13:05.440 to a flashpoint happening.

00:13:07.160 And it's only a matter of time,

00:13:08.360 it seems,

00:13:08.860 until that does happen.

00:13:09.940 It's a spiral of violence.

00:13:12.080 It's only a matter of time

00:13:13.040 until they assault,

00:13:15.040 they go out of their way

00:13:16.480 to assault another ICE agent

00:13:17.720 who opens fire.

00:13:19.880 And then maybe

00:13:20.520 if there's a large mob

00:13:21.680 that escalates,

00:13:23.500 maybe they try and mess

00:13:24.440 with the wrong guy

00:13:25.140 in the middle of the street

00:13:26.180 who's got a concealed carry

00:13:27.780 or something.

00:13:28.240 I don't know what the laws

00:13:28.940 are like in Minneapolis.

00:13:30.260 He pulls it

00:13:31.060 and then it explodes from there.

00:13:32.660 Or maybe they just

00:13:33.580 knock the wrong guy over

00:13:34.960 and unlike this guy,

00:13:36.460 he actually does crack his head

00:13:37.820 on the street,

00:13:38.720 gets brain damage or dies,

00:13:41.020 and then it escalates from there.

00:13:44.280 Yeah, very much so.

00:13:45.940 And that's part of the reason

00:13:47.000 I'm quite concerned about this

00:13:48.780 in the first place

00:13:49.560 is that things can spiral out of hand

00:13:51.760 and however angry you are,

00:13:53.100 whichever side you are angry at,

00:13:56.260 I don't think it's in America's interest

00:13:58.040 to start a civil war

00:14:00.220 because you've got so many external enemies

00:14:02.500 that you have to be internally strong.

00:14:04.940 And of course there's an argument to say,

00:14:06.440 well, there are people

00:14:07.180 that we can't coexist with

00:14:09.360 and I'm sympathetic to that.

00:14:11.140 However, it's still in your interest

00:14:14.020 to try and solve things civilly

00:14:15.860 because the cost of the violence,

00:14:18.700 I don't think many people

00:14:19.600 are emphasizing this enough,

00:14:20.740 is very heavy

00:14:22.280 once it gets out of control.

00:14:24.920 And we're lucky, frankly,

00:14:26.480 that all of this is happening

00:14:27.640 if it had to happen

00:14:28.560 in the winter months.

00:14:30.260 This happens in the summer months,

00:14:33.320 it'll explode.

00:14:34.380 Because more people

00:14:35.180 will be willing to go out.

00:14:36.860 You know, the snow on the side

00:14:38.660 is probably enough

00:14:39.420 to put some people off, isn't it?

00:14:41.140 Yeah, people don't want to protest

00:14:42.420 as much when it's cold.

00:14:43.280 And here's another one.

00:14:47.500 I'm going to mute this as well

00:14:48.960 to say if it is

00:14:49.780 because it's a racket.

00:14:50.720 But there's a guy here

00:14:51.800 who's just got an American flag hoodie

00:14:54.240 with the word freedom on,

00:14:56.420 which is enough for him

00:14:57.560 to get accosted

00:14:58.640 by huge crowds of people.

00:15:02.240 And to my mind,

00:15:03.840 this guy doesn't look

00:15:04.980 like a white nationalist,

00:15:06.020 but these days you never know.

00:15:07.100 But it's to the point

00:15:10.560 where they're accosting people.

00:15:11.660 He really doesn't look

00:15:12.400 like a white nationalist, actually.

00:15:15.040 That's just, that's mad.

00:15:16.980 Yeah, for items of clothing,

00:15:18.920 it's like a symbol of allegiance

00:15:20.680 to something that they disagree with

00:15:22.920 and therefore a mob chases you

00:15:25.440 and forces you to take it off.

00:15:27.040 And they were chanting

00:15:27.600 for him to take it off.

00:15:29.480 So they know what they're doing

00:15:30.800 and there's no reason

00:15:33.040 for this guy to be harassed.

00:15:35.060 I don't know what was going on

00:15:36.220 before this.

00:15:37.540 But I presume it wasn't that severe

00:15:39.760 because they're fixated

00:15:40.760 on the jumper

00:15:41.480 rather than any actions

00:15:42.580 or calling him names, especially.

00:15:45.500 And then it got to the point

00:15:47.080 where they were

00:15:48.020 just randomly targeting people.

00:15:51.260 So there were loads of tech workers.

00:15:53.640 They're app developers

00:15:54.540 in a coffee shop

00:15:56.580 having a meeting or something.

00:15:58.420 And a bunch of people

00:15:59.820 in the middle of the day

00:16:00.780 started gathering outside

00:16:02.640 thinking that they were ice.

00:16:05.540 Oh my God.

00:16:07.100 And they weren't.

00:16:08.080 I'm just going to mute this

00:16:09.260 to save your ears.

00:16:10.760 But you can see

00:16:11.480 all these weirdos

00:16:12.380 starting milling around

00:16:13.420 outside of this coffee shop.

00:16:16.880 You start seeing

00:16:18.880 more and more people

00:16:20.200 turn up

00:16:20.820 as time goes on.

00:16:22.080 and they try and explain

00:16:23.960 to them,

00:16:24.300 listen, we're not ice.

00:16:25.300 We're a tech worker

00:16:26.900 group or whatever.

00:16:29.200 They want it, don't they?

00:16:30.340 They're baying for blood.

00:16:31.180 What made them think

00:16:31.840 that they wore ice

00:16:32.500 in the first place?

00:16:33.240 I don't know.

00:16:33.860 Were they wearing face coverings

00:16:34.980 because it was cold outside

00:16:36.000 or something?

00:16:36.600 I'd imagine not inside.

00:16:38.340 Yeah.

00:16:38.680 And also,

00:16:39.320 just from what you can hear

00:16:40.840 them saying behind the camera,

00:16:42.520 it doesn't sound like

00:16:43.160 their mouth is muffled.

00:16:45.040 They're quite clear.

00:16:46.400 And so I don't think

00:16:47.180 they had their faces covered.

00:16:48.620 I think maybe

00:16:49.180 they were clean cut

00:16:50.020 white guys.

00:16:51.340 Oh, so that...

00:16:52.640 Although if they're tech workers,

00:16:53.680 that's a minority.

00:16:55.920 Yeah, exactly.

00:16:57.180 They could have been.

00:16:57.980 Anti-ice agents

00:16:58.880 are now assaulting

00:16:59.820 Indians in the street.

00:17:03.120 That'd be an interesting

00:17:04.200 turn of events,

00:17:05.080 wouldn't it?

00:17:05.940 So,

00:17:07.120 it got to a point,

00:17:08.140 oh,

00:17:09.440 we're not allowed

00:17:09.900 to see this one,

00:17:11.120 but there is a picture.

00:17:12.740 Basically,

00:17:13.220 a guy was attacked

00:17:14.140 with a flagpole

00:17:15.140 and got a large

00:17:15.880 lazeration

00:17:16.640 behind his ear

00:17:18.320 on his neck.

00:17:21.380 Kind of good, really,

00:17:22.340 that we couldn't see it,

00:17:23.120 but you didn't see much

00:17:24.060 in the video,

00:17:24.600 just him walking

00:17:25.360 with a big crowd of people.

00:17:26.540 So, it did turn

00:17:28.540 to people actually

00:17:29.340 violently hurting people.

00:17:30.700 I don't know whether

00:17:31.160 he's going to be

00:17:31.680 permanently scarred

00:17:32.520 from that.

00:17:33.340 I don't know the story

00:17:34.540 behind it.

00:17:36.120 However,

00:17:36.820 it was going on.

00:17:39.300 So,

00:17:40.180 that takes us

00:17:41.220 to this next thing.

00:17:43.440 We've talked about

00:17:44.340 this very delicate

00:17:45.720 environment,

00:17:46.560 and then Jake Lang,

00:17:47.940 who I've interviewed

00:17:48.480 a few times on Lotus Eaters,

00:17:49.780 he's a former

00:17:50.240 Jan 6th prisoner,

00:17:51.860 decided to go

00:17:52.760 to the steps

00:17:53.720 of Minneapolis City Hall

00:17:55.480 and burn a Koran,

00:17:56.540 which,

00:17:57.360 as you can imagine,

00:17:58.920 didn't go down

00:17:59.940 too well.

00:18:01.060 Did he actually do it?

00:18:02.100 I don't know.

00:18:03.000 I didn't see a video

00:18:03.840 of it because

00:18:04.620 this happened.

00:18:08.600 It's also very

00:18:09.420 just weirdly dystopian

00:18:10.760 because there's

00:18:11.200 very upbeat music

00:18:12.180 playing in that speaker.

00:18:14.160 But he's

00:18:14.900 pretty much surrounded

00:18:16.820 outside of

00:18:17.600 what I presume

00:18:18.220 to be the City Hall

00:18:19.240 here

00:18:19.600 by a bunch of leftists.

00:18:21.460 This guy,

00:18:22.080 I think,

00:18:22.380 was with the

00:18:23.320 protesters

00:18:24.320 or the rioters

00:18:25.240 or whatever you want

00:18:25.780 to call them,

00:18:26.600 but he was saying,

00:18:27.240 listen,

00:18:27.460 we can't hurt this guy,

00:18:28.700 so well done to him.

00:18:30.440 Yeah,

00:18:30.660 fair play for that guy

00:18:31.840 for having some

00:18:32.520 self-awareness.

00:18:33.660 Mm-hmm.

00:18:34.760 Yeah,

00:18:35.280 and I think that

00:18:35.980 we've got to give

00:18:36.940 props to people

00:18:38.140 who are trying

00:18:38.620 to cool the temperature,

00:18:39.920 even in the face

00:18:40.820 of a large crowd there.

00:18:42.660 And you can see

00:18:43.680 as he's going

00:18:44.460 through the crowd,

00:18:45.420 they're all trying

00:18:46.020 to beat him.

00:18:47.800 And you can see

00:18:49.000 in a second

00:18:50.200 the state

00:18:51.640 that he was in

00:18:52.940 once he managed

00:18:54.180 to get away.

00:18:55.700 So this is him

00:18:56.680 trying to get

00:18:58.300 through the crowd

00:18:58.820 of people.

00:19:02.100 There we go.

00:19:02.840 I'm trying to get

00:19:03.900 through the crowd

00:19:04.420 of people.

00:19:04.860 I'm going to mute this

00:19:05.660 just for the sake of it,

00:19:06.760 but you can see

00:19:07.360 he's walking

00:19:09.600 like he's been

00:19:10.300 seriously hurt,

00:19:11.320 isn't he?

00:19:11.760 And he's like stumbling

00:19:12.620 and people are

00:19:13.120 helping him along.

00:19:14.380 Oh, it's that same guy

00:19:15.260 with the jumper

00:19:17.680 again there,

00:19:18.520 so maybe he was

00:19:20.100 targeted.

00:19:20.120 Maybe that's why

00:19:20.680 he was targeted.

00:19:21.460 Yeah,

00:19:21.980 you can see him.

00:19:23.660 Oh, yeah,

00:19:24.100 blood.

00:19:24.220 I think he's got

00:19:24.620 a head injury.

00:19:26.680 So I know

00:19:28.180 that it's a

00:19:29.040 provocative thing

00:19:29.900 and it was probably

00:19:30.900 poor judgment

00:19:31.640 to go to a powder

00:19:32.580 keg place like this

00:19:33.780 and do something

00:19:35.200 like that,

00:19:35.940 but at the same time

00:19:37.420 it doesn't warrant

00:19:38.540 a response to violence.

00:19:39.900 See, again,

00:19:40.380 for me,

00:19:41.100 the problem

00:19:41.460 with a lot of this

00:19:43.020 is that

00:19:44.600 people are asking,

00:19:46.580 like Firaz was asking

00:19:47.440 yesterday,

00:19:48.200 are they going to

00:19:49.000 invoke the Insurrection Act?

00:19:50.260 Is there going to be

00:19:50.960 Federal National Guard

00:19:52.140 troops out on the streets

00:19:53.820 to quell these

00:19:55.100 protesters down,

00:19:56.440 these anti-ice guys

00:19:57.840 who are going out

00:19:58.400 and actually committing

00:19:59.140 violence

00:20:00.140 in the same way

00:20:01.420 that the Insurrection Act

00:20:02.340 was used to send

00:20:02.880 the National Guard

00:20:03.600 on pro-segregation

00:20:06.440 marches in the 1950s

00:20:08.020 and such like that?

00:20:09.340 And my answer

00:20:10.540 to this

00:20:11.160 is going to be

00:20:13.220 essentially like,

00:20:13.920 right,

00:20:15.020 Donald Trump

00:20:16.640 did nothing

00:20:17.340 following Charlie

00:20:18.120 Kirk's assassination.

00:20:19.580 That was the opportunity

00:20:21.000 to clamp down

00:20:21.780 on these people.

00:20:23.180 That was the opportunity

00:20:24.180 when American public

00:20:25.400 opinion was most

00:20:26.440 in favor

00:20:27.080 of action like that.

00:20:28.940 The left are always

00:20:30.140 willing to escalate.

00:20:31.980 Donald Trump

00:20:32.580 didn't.

00:20:34.000 Right?

00:20:34.880 Donald Trump

00:20:35.360 didn't do that.

00:20:37.080 I have a bad feeling

00:20:38.540 that he is going

00:20:39.280 to continue

00:20:40.100 his tendency

00:20:42.260 for big talk

00:20:43.840 domestically

00:20:44.620 with no action.

00:20:46.560 That is what he has done

00:20:47.780 quite often.

00:20:49.300 Obviously,

00:20:49.640 we've got ICE

00:20:50.180 going into Minneapolis,

00:20:51.580 but then you've got

00:20:52.380 all of this pushback

00:20:53.520 and not as much

00:20:55.840 federal support

00:20:56.680 as you would hope

00:20:57.320 in a situation like this,

00:20:58.440 especially when,

00:20:59.220 as Firas pointed out

00:21:00.440 yesterday,

00:21:01.260 some of the local

00:21:02.320 state guard

00:21:03.920 are basically posting

00:21:05.660 social media posts

00:21:07.420 about how they'll

00:21:08.280 support the

00:21:09.200 anti-ICE people.

00:21:11.520 Like,

00:21:11.660 that's why

00:21:12.580 there's all of this.

00:21:13.740 There is a lot

00:21:14.580 to say

00:21:15.540 that you could invoke

00:21:16.340 the Insurrection Act.

00:21:17.480 I don't see him

00:21:18.500 doing it.

00:21:18.980 I don't see him

00:21:19.580 as having actually

00:21:20.500 the backbone

00:21:21.600 and willpower

00:21:22.320 domestically

00:21:23.060 to do something

00:21:23.720 like this.

00:21:24.100 He'll talk big

00:21:24.600 when it comes

00:21:25.100 to Greenland.

00:21:26.380 He'll talk big

00:21:26.920 when it comes

00:21:27.360 to Canada.

00:21:28.440 He'll talk big

00:21:29.140 internationally,

00:21:31.240 but who is he

00:21:32.420 to be making

00:21:33.060 such huge claims

00:21:33.800 internationally

00:21:34.380 when he's refusing

00:21:35.420 to clamp down

00:21:36.840 and take order

00:21:37.540 of his own cities

00:21:38.440 domestically?

00:21:39.040 Well,

00:21:39.200 even if he did,

00:21:39.960 there's also a risk

00:21:40.840 that by sending

00:21:41.560 in the National Guard

00:21:42.420 it's seen as an

00:21:43.100 extra provocation

00:21:44.100 and it could make

00:21:44.800 things worse.

00:21:45.520 And of course,

00:21:45.960 I believe in,

00:21:46.740 you know,

00:21:47.740 having legitimate

00:21:49.100 authority

00:21:49.740 restore order

00:21:51.580 but at the same

00:21:52.760 time you've got

00:21:53.340 to take a somewhat

00:21:54.100 pragmatic approach

00:21:55.100 in that if you

00:21:55.980 send them in

00:21:56.520 and it agitates

00:21:57.340 them to the point

00:21:58.020 where violence

00:21:59.320 escalates further

00:22:00.180 and it can no longer

00:22:01.100 be contained

00:22:01.760 then that was

00:22:02.360 probably a bad call.

00:22:03.860 So it's a difficult

00:22:05.020 judgment call to make,

00:22:06.460 isn't it?

00:22:06.820 No matter which way

00:22:07.800 you go.

00:22:10.360 But anyway,

00:22:11.220 he carried on,

00:22:12.300 Jake carried on

00:22:13.040 walking to the point

00:22:13.940 where he got bundled

00:22:15.420 into a car

00:22:16.280 and when he got

00:22:18.520 into the car

00:22:19.260 the protesters

00:22:20.040 caught up with him.

00:22:20.920 I don't know why

00:22:22.300 they didn't drive

00:22:23.400 away here.

00:22:24.260 They should have.

00:22:25.080 I think because

00:22:25.400 the door's still open.

00:22:26.520 Yeah.

00:22:28.980 Oh, Jesus Christ.

00:22:30.080 Just from both sides

00:22:31.180 and he's shouting

00:22:32.100 in the clip.

00:22:32.880 I've muted it

00:22:33.460 because it's...

00:22:34.500 I saw this

00:22:35.100 and I didn't know

00:22:35.680 what it was in relation

00:22:36.800 to.

00:22:37.140 I was just like,

00:22:37.440 these people are mental.

00:22:38.420 What's going on?

00:22:39.620 This is...

00:22:40.680 I mean,

00:22:41.700 yeah,

00:22:41.920 they need to get

00:22:42.600 a handle on this

00:22:44.280 because this isn't

00:22:44.820 going to end very well.

00:22:46.840 It's not going very well,

00:22:47.720 is it, obviously?

00:22:48.480 No.

00:22:49.180 The rate of escalation

00:22:51.080 is, you know,

00:22:52.940 almost exponential.

00:22:54.100 What's going to happen next?

00:22:55.140 That's the thing.

00:22:55.800 You need to get a handle on it.

00:22:57.540 And another thing

00:22:58.200 that happened...

00:22:59.160 Oh, sorry.

00:23:00.240 Another thing that happened

00:23:01.320 was this.

00:23:03.380 So there was a church service

00:23:04.980 and loads of

00:23:06.320 anti-ice protesters

00:23:07.600 just decided to

00:23:08.880 storm this.

00:23:10.340 Isn't this the word

00:23:10.880 Don Lemon?

00:23:12.520 Yes,

00:23:12.840 we'll be getting to him.

00:23:13.780 Oh, yes.

00:23:14.880 The Lemon himself.

00:23:16.280 So they're

00:23:17.660 minding their own business,

00:23:19.080 nothing to do

00:23:19.600 with anything else

00:23:20.420 and

00:23:20.980 they turn up

00:23:22.880 and just disturb it,

00:23:24.080 start shouting about

00:23:24.900 Rene Good.

00:23:26.020 It's like,

00:23:26.360 who cares?

00:23:27.280 This isn't anything

00:23:28.380 to do with that.

00:23:29.780 Yeah,

00:23:29.980 this church

00:23:30.540 specifically

00:23:31.340 told that

00:23:32.380 isolation

00:23:32.800 they're shooting.

00:23:34.120 Clearly.

00:23:35.140 And you can just see

00:23:35.980 like women and children

00:23:36.940 just getting up

00:23:37.540 and walking out

00:23:38.360 when they come in

00:23:39.260 just like,

00:23:39.740 yes, this is...

00:23:41.420 But, um...

00:23:41.880 You don't know what else

00:23:42.480 they're going to do,

00:23:43.060 do you?

00:23:43.380 No, well,

00:23:44.120 it's a scary situation

00:23:45.600 to put people in.

00:23:46.820 And then here's

00:23:47.760 the Lemon himself

00:23:48.920 talking to one of

00:23:50.020 the organizers,

00:23:50.840 I presume.

00:23:52.400 Tell us why

00:23:53.000 you're doing this.

00:23:53.640 This is Operation Pull Up,

00:23:54.920 more of a clandestine operation.

00:23:56.660 We show up somewhere

00:23:57.840 that is a key location.

00:24:00.560 They don't expect us

00:24:01.480 to come there.

00:24:02.400 And then we

00:24:03.460 disrupt business as usual.

00:24:05.220 So that's what

00:24:05.700 we're about to go do right now.

00:24:06.880 Ice out!

00:24:08.140 Ice out!

00:24:09.480 Ice out!

00:24:10.680 Well done.

00:24:12.100 You disturbed church.

00:24:14.260 It's just gonna...

00:24:15.080 Congratulations.

00:24:15.900 It's gonna just poison

00:24:16.700 people against you

00:24:17.720 because it makes you

00:24:18.400 look like a lunatic

00:24:19.280 just targeting people

00:24:20.660 who are uninvolved

00:24:21.780 in any of it.

00:24:22.500 People there

00:24:22.960 with their families

00:24:23.600 and children.

00:24:25.480 That's unhinged.

00:24:26.560 That's mental.

00:24:28.240 Yeah, and

00:24:29.040 then Lemon joins in

00:24:32.100 here and starts

00:24:32.960 questioning the pastor.

00:24:34.680 I don't know

00:24:35.360 whether it's a priest or pastor.

00:24:36.500 I don't know

00:24:36.900 the denomination

00:24:37.460 of the church.

00:24:39.280 But he's here

00:24:40.080 asking him questions

00:24:40.920 about stuff

00:24:41.640 when he was previously

00:24:43.300 in the middle

00:24:43.860 of giving a service.

00:24:45.680 And so

00:24:46.140 it seems very,

00:24:48.940 very distasteful

00:24:50.080 at the very least

00:24:51.640 to be

00:24:52.660 his justification

00:24:54.740 is that he's just

00:24:55.700 doing journalism

00:24:56.380 as we'll see

00:24:57.020 in a bit.

00:24:57.840 But

00:24:58.020 one thing that

00:25:00.020 has been pointed out

00:25:00.940 is that it's

00:25:02.020 a violation

00:25:02.580 of the

00:25:03.160 FACE Act

00:25:04.100 of 1994.

00:25:05.640 Intentionally injuring,

00:25:06.720 intimidating,

00:25:07.340 or interfering with,

00:25:08.440 or attempting to

00:25:09.160 injure, intimidate,

00:25:10.040 or interfere.

00:25:10.500 I think

00:25:10.900 intimidation and

00:25:11.880 interference is

00:25:12.600 undeniable here.

00:25:13.440 any person

00:25:14.340 by force,

00:25:14.980 threat of force,

00:25:15.800 or physical

00:25:16.620 obstruction,

00:25:17.380 again that seems

00:25:18.220 to have that box

00:25:20.140 ticked,

00:25:20.800 or seeking to

00:25:21.500 exercise the

00:25:22.120 First Amendment

00:25:22.580 right of

00:25:23.460 religious freedom

00:25:24.360 at a place

00:25:25.160 of religious

00:25:25.700 worship.

00:25:26.860 That is...

00:25:27.300 It's pretty cut and dry

00:25:28.040 there, isn't it?

00:25:28.460 It is, yeah.

00:25:29.900 That's a pretty easy

00:25:31.180 case, and I think

00:25:32.080 that that's going

00:25:32.840 forward, as far as

00:25:34.140 I'm aware.

00:25:35.960 And the people

00:25:37.480 who targeted it

00:25:38.420 are pretty easy

00:25:40.300 to know who they

00:25:40.940 were, because they

00:25:41.620 all tagged each

00:25:42.180 other on Facebook,

00:25:43.840 celebrating this.

00:25:45.580 stupid.

00:25:47.020 And, uh,

00:25:48.940 before you think,

00:25:49.760 okay, well, Don

00:25:50.520 Lemon was a

00:25:51.220 journalist, he was

00:25:51.940 just doing

00:25:52.340 journalist things,

00:25:53.800 maybe he was just

00:25:54.880 going along with a

00:25:55.800 pre-planned protest,

00:25:57.420 listen to what he

00:25:58.520 says to justify

00:25:59.480 the protest.

00:26:00.660 Oh, it's this guy

00:26:01.260 here, look,

00:26:02.000 he's hugging his

00:26:02.620 kid, um, and,

00:26:05.280 you know, I've, I've

00:26:06.100 imagined it's

00:26:06.740 uncomfortable and

00:26:07.400 traumatic for the

00:26:08.980 people here, but,

00:26:10.000 again, careful, it's

00:26:10.660 very slippery right

00:26:11.360 here.

00:26:11.860 It's uncomfortable

00:26:12.700 and traumatic for the

00:26:13.560 people here, but

00:26:14.140 that's what really

00:26:14.960 careful, please,

00:26:16.280 really slippery, not

00:26:17.700 kidding, um, that's

00:26:19.960 what protesting is

00:26:21.280 about, and so.

00:26:23.280 Is it?

00:26:24.600 Yeah.

00:26:26.000 I mean, that's

00:26:26.320 what, making it

00:26:26.920 traumatic for just

00:26:27.600 your average J people,

00:26:29.240 not related to

00:26:29.820 anything?

00:26:30.740 Yeah, I mean,

00:26:31.120 you can't.

00:26:31.320 Is it?

00:26:31.800 I thought it was

00:26:32.400 about the government.

00:26:33.320 It was MLK day

00:26:34.340 yesterday, and people

00:26:35.400 say that MLK was

00:26:36.500 like this big non-violence

00:26:38.560 guy, and yeah, in some

00:26:39.540 of his rhetoric, he

00:26:40.440 promoted that, but if

00:26:41.280 you actually read

00:26:42.440 stuff he wrote, like

00:26:43.520 Letter in Birmingham

00:26:44.320 Jail, he's

00:26:44.960 he's absolutely

00:26:46.620 clear that protesting

00:26:49.140 is about making

00:26:50.660 people's lives

00:26:51.560 worse.

00:26:52.720 Make people's lives

00:26:53.820 worse until we get

00:26:55.160 what we want, and

00:26:56.460 that, and when you

00:26:58.080 are using state-backed

00:27:00.780 violence to get what

00:27:01.880 you want, as was the

00:27:02.840 case with MLK, you

00:27:04.440 can't really say that

00:27:05.480 you're non-violent

00:27:06.320 when your whole point

00:27:07.300 is, we're going to

00:27:08.220 make your lives worse

00:27:09.340 until the government

00:27:10.840 decides to pass

00:27:11.860 legislation that means

00:27:12.960 that we can steal

00:27:13.740 from you legally.

00:27:15.420 Marathon

00:27:15.900 terrorism.

00:27:17.540 Yeah.

00:27:18.880 Whereas, you know,

00:27:20.100 like Al-Qaeda and

00:27:20.880 stuff like that, do

00:27:21.420 sprint terrorism, just

00:27:22.660 like one singular act.

00:27:24.160 These guys just

00:27:25.000 prolonged marathon

00:27:27.180 running.

00:27:27.660 So, after all of the

00:27:31.880 blowback against Don

00:27:32.980 Lemon, he tried to

00:27:34.060 justify it by, like,

00:27:35.460 listen, I'm a journalist.

00:27:36.120 The MAGA administration

00:27:36.800 and the fake news

00:27:37.600 MAGA's are losing

00:27:38.740 their mind over

00:27:39.820 something that's not

00:27:40.720 even true.

00:27:42.420 So, let me just

00:27:43.560 make it clear, because

00:27:44.260 this, uh, a

00:27:45.880 assistant attorney general,

00:27:47.380 I don't know, um,

00:27:48.200 gosh, what's the name?

00:27:48.980 Something, Hemet, uh,

00:27:51.280 going, or whatever.

00:27:53.520 So, um, I had no

00:27:56.240 affiliation to that

00:27:56.940 organization.

00:27:58.000 I didn't even know they

00:27:58.840 were going to this

00:27:59.480 church until we

00:28:00.520 followed them there.

00:28:01.480 We were there

00:28:02.020 chronicling protests.

00:28:04.640 Once the protests

00:28:05.500 started in the church,

00:28:06.700 we did an act of

00:28:07.900 journalism, which was

00:28:09.260 report on it and talk

00:28:10.740 to the people who

00:28:11.440 were involved, which

00:28:12.040 included the pastor,

00:28:13.100 members of the church,

00:28:13.860 and members of the

00:28:14.540 organization.

00:28:15.960 So, there's a couple

00:28:16.960 of problems with this.

00:28:18.100 The first of which is

00:28:19.700 you did sort of join

00:28:20.840 in by going in there

00:28:22.040 and putting a camera

00:28:23.200 and a microphone in

00:28:24.100 front of his face,

00:28:24.980 um, which did, you

00:28:27.300 know, provably disrupt

00:28:28.660 what he was doing,

00:28:29.760 obviously.

00:28:30.600 As well as the fact

00:28:31.600 that you expressed

00:28:32.440 sympathies with the

00:28:33.340 protesters because

00:28:34.180 you're talking about,

00:28:35.440 well, they're meant to

00:28:36.600 be making people

00:28:37.640 uncomfortable, including,

00:28:39.100 you know, women and

00:28:39.980 children, apparently,

00:28:40.900 that had to leave

00:28:41.980 because of them

00:28:42.680 turning up.

00:28:44.040 And so it's a bit of

00:28:45.780 a difficult thing to

00:28:46.880 say, well, I was just

00:28:47.620 doing a journalism

00:28:48.400 when you partook in

00:28:50.980 the thing that was

00:28:51.800 the problem in the

00:28:52.440 first place, in my

00:28:53.860 opinion.

00:28:55.500 But, uh, there's also

00:28:58.400 other stuff as well.

00:29:00.200 Um, here's, uh,

00:29:02.260 Nick Sautor.

00:29:03.240 He was filming what

00:29:05.180 was going on and he

00:29:06.980 claims that Somali

00:29:08.400 stole his camera.

00:29:09.420 Hey, hey, hey, hey!

00:29:10.000 Hey, get!

00:29:10.660 What did she just do?

00:29:12.160 Um, well done for

00:29:13.500 getting out and chasing

00:29:14.640 him down and trying

00:29:15.800 to confront him.

00:29:16.440 I don't know whether

00:29:17.040 he got his camera

00:29:18.500 back.

00:29:18.780 I don't think he

00:29:19.300 did.

00:29:20.620 Um, I think some

00:29:23.320 people actually joined

00:29:24.160 in and tried to help

00:29:25.460 at least, um, but they

00:29:27.400 got into a car and

00:29:28.240 drove away.

00:29:30.040 Quite a nice car at

00:29:31.000 that.

00:29:31.640 Interesting how a

00:29:32.400 Somali can afford

00:29:33.060 that.

00:29:33.720 Great healthcare.

00:29:34.680 Yeah, driving on the

00:29:35.380 pavement as well with

00:29:36.400 him still trying to get

00:29:37.580 into the car.

00:29:39.080 Very dangerous.

00:29:40.220 Um, just...

00:29:40.780 The thing is when your

00:29:41.120 kids are looked after

00:29:42.100 by such efficient and

00:29:43.180 fantastically affordable

00:29:44.220 healthcare, you can

00:29:45.080 afford to just, you

00:29:46.080 know, like work so

00:29:46.820 many great jobs.

00:29:47.820 That's true.

00:29:48.780 And, uh, then he

00:29:50.020 went to the police

00:29:50.740 about it and then the

00:29:53.180 police said that he's

00:29:54.140 the problem and that

00:29:55.400 it's him that needs to

00:29:56.620 leave.

00:29:57.720 So...

00:29:58.020 That's got, that's

00:29:58.460 got shades of, um,

00:30:00.600 ah, that, the, the,

00:30:01.780 the chap who, the

00:30:02.960 Turkish guy who burnt

00:30:03.880 the Quran outside the

00:30:04.900 Turkish embassy.

00:30:05.800 Oh, yeah.

00:30:06.220 At least charged him

00:30:06.940 because if he didn't

00:30:08.100 do that...

00:30:09.080 He wouldn't have been

00:30:09.840 attacked with a knife.

00:30:10.700 Yeah, it's like, what?

00:30:12.320 How does that, what?

00:30:13.280 It's absurd, yeah.

00:30:14.720 Yeah, if you didn't...

00:30:15.300 Circular logic on

00:30:16.680 crime.

00:30:17.060 If you didn't bring

00:30:17.560 expensive things, those

00:30:18.680 Somalis wouldn't have

00:30:19.500 stolen.

00:30:20.160 That's it.

00:30:20.620 You should have known

00:30:21.320 that those Somalis would

00:30:22.460 have stolen something.

00:30:23.560 Have you not seen them

00:30:24.780 raid oil tankers?

00:30:26.200 They just can't help it.

00:30:27.040 The police officers

00:30:27.780 basically said, we all

00:30:28.540 know what Somalis are

00:30:29.700 like.

00:30:30.440 We can't blame them.

00:30:32.020 Have you seen their

00:30:32.720 IQ scores?

00:30:34.440 If only that was their

00:30:35.480 reasoning.

00:30:36.020 Just policing, but

00:30:36.800 for liberals.

00:30:38.120 But the good thing is

00:30:39.340 that not all of the

00:30:40.280 police are following

00:30:42.200 this line because,

00:30:43.460 according to this,

00:30:45.080 24 officers resigned

00:30:46.560 from Minneapolis police

00:30:47.980 and 18 of them have

00:30:49.460 already joined ICE.

00:30:51.140 So they're switching

00:30:52.140 sides, the good side.

00:30:54.940 And it's good to see

00:30:55.540 more people signing up

00:30:56.600 with that sort of

00:30:57.240 experience as well

00:30:58.080 because I imagine it

00:30:58.880 translates quite well.

00:31:00.680 And, yeah, I imagine

00:31:01.980 joining ICE is one of

00:31:03.220 the things you can do

00:31:04.040 in the United States

00:31:04.900 to be patriotic,

00:31:06.380 especially when they're

00:31:07.340 under such pressure.

00:31:08.980 And, you know, it'd be

00:31:09.620 good to have a large

00:31:11.020 employment base because

00:31:13.660 then you can cycle

00:31:14.600 people off, give them

00:31:15.380 a bit of a break because

00:31:16.360 they're working under

00:31:17.060 high stress and you've

00:31:18.320 got to have a bit of

00:31:18.880 sympathy for them.

00:31:20.380 And then the final

00:31:21.340 thing I've included.

00:31:22.780 Oh, that's disappeared

00:31:24.520 apparently.

00:31:25.460 Well, can you get us

00:31:26.440 back to the other

00:31:26.960 segment, please,

00:31:27.660 Samson?

00:31:28.340 I don't know what

00:31:29.080 happened.

00:31:29.540 Samson, help, please.

00:31:30.680 Thank you, Samson.

00:31:32.440 So I think I clicked

00:31:34.440 the wrong link.

00:31:35.400 Is that right?

00:31:36.060 Yes.

00:31:37.020 And even before any

00:31:38.500 of these problems

00:31:39.700 existed, they had

00:31:42.520 their own problems in

00:31:43.440 Minnesota anyway

00:31:45.040 because black

00:31:47.400 African-Americans are

00:31:48.640 8% of the population

00:31:50.040 but 72% of murders

00:31:53.160 and, oh no, it's

00:31:54.580 66% of murders,

00:31:56.000 sorry, and 72%

00:31:57.220 of the robberies.

00:31:58.140 And this might not

00:31:59.240 be just like the

00:32:00.340 quote-unquote

00:32:01.120 African-Americans

00:32:02.060 which are their own

00:32:02.860 group.

00:32:03.220 This might be as a

00:32:04.140 result of the massive

00:32:04.820 influx of Somalis as

00:32:06.100 well.

00:32:06.240 Just Africans, yeah.

00:32:06.680 Yeah.

00:32:07.620 That's true, yeah.

00:32:08.660 Who are probably more,

00:32:11.220 from places like

00:32:12.520 Somalia, probably more

00:32:14.000 likely to engage in

00:32:15.580 criminal activity anyway.

00:32:16.660 I wouldn't be surprised.

00:32:17.920 There is some variation

00:32:19.200 because some Africans are

00:32:20.620 actually lower crime than

00:32:21.640 African-Americans.

00:32:22.380 It depends which part of

00:32:23.560 Africa and which part of

00:32:27.100 America we're talking

00:32:28.020 about.

00:32:28.560 But it's entirely

00:32:29.200 possible.

00:32:30.060 Yeah.

00:32:30.680 Those still aren't great

00:32:31.760 figures.

00:32:32.560 And so all of these

00:32:34.380 problems exist on top of

00:32:35.960 a pre-existing problem

00:32:37.280 presumably, part of it

00:32:38.780 at least, although some

00:32:39.980 of it's probably imported

00:32:41.000 as well.

00:32:41.760 And none of this is

00:32:42.860 getting addressed.

00:32:43.500 No one's even really

00:32:44.280 talking about it and the

00:32:46.480 whole situation seems

00:32:48.360 very, very difficult and

00:32:49.880 obviously something should

00:32:51.000 have been done far before

00:32:52.360 this to prevent this

00:32:53.960 sort of thing happening

00:32:54.680 in the first place.

00:32:55.680 And now any government

00:32:57.920 that has to manage this

00:32:59.180 situation has a very

00:33:00.260 difficult task of avoiding

00:33:01.920 this tit-for-tat exchange

00:33:03.100 of violence that we were

00:33:03.980 talking about and things

00:33:05.520 spiralling downward to the

00:33:07.940 point of no return.

00:33:09.960 Yeah.

00:33:10.380 Remove the pull factors

00:33:11.440 for them.

00:33:12.540 Don't let them commit

00:33:13.960 all of this fraud and

00:33:14.900 they don't come here in

00:33:15.580 the first place.

00:33:16.200 Don't facilitate and

00:33:17.380 probably help them

00:33:18.460 behind the scenes commit

00:33:19.460 all of this fraud and

00:33:20.820 they don't come here in

00:33:21.560 the first place.

00:33:22.080 And then you don't need

00:33:22.720 to worry about all of

00:33:24.400 this stuff.

00:33:25.320 That doesn't work by the

00:33:26.220 way.

00:33:27.180 Does it not?

00:33:27.960 It doesn't work.

00:33:28.400 It does.

00:33:29.220 Oh, it didn't work for

00:33:29.900 me, but it works for you.

00:33:30.600 I unplugged it and

00:33:31.500 plugged it back in again.

00:33:32.500 If you'd checked, you'd

00:33:33.200 have known.

00:33:34.940 This one doesn't.

00:33:35.780 Unnecessary, Harry.

00:33:36.680 This one doesn't work.

00:33:37.740 I was focusing on

00:33:38.620 presenting.

00:33:39.440 Thank you.

00:33:39.960 And what a fantastic job

00:33:41.060 you did.

00:33:41.480 I'll go through some of

00:33:42.160 the rumble rants.

00:33:43.600 Thank you.

00:33:43.620 I'll work now.

00:33:44.400 Tom Rat.

00:33:44.820 Very simple.

00:33:45.740 Penalty should be

00:33:46.520 doubled and stacked in

00:33:47.780 crimes against public

00:33:48.580 officials for both what

00:33:49.480 is done to them and what

00:33:50.660 they do to others.

00:33:52.940 Oh, PHUK.

00:33:54.720 There's a beautiful

00:33:55.220 symmetry to Don Lemon,

00:33:56.580 race beta extraordinaire,

00:33:57.840 being charged under the

00:33:59.320 Klan Act.

00:33:59.880 I have heard about that.

00:34:01.480 Did you?

00:34:02.080 Yes.

00:34:02.280 What's going on with this

00:34:03.240 Klan Act?

00:34:03.700 What is the Klan Act?

00:34:05.100 So it was introduced to

00:34:07.100 target the KKK and their

00:34:08.980 interference with, I'm not

00:34:11.240 entirely sure.

00:34:11.880 The FBI targeting

00:34:12.960 themselves.

00:34:14.000 Yes.

00:34:14.200 I assume.

00:34:14.900 I'm not entirely sure the

00:34:15.980 actual context.

00:34:17.060 I'm not sure if it's people,

00:34:18.800 the KKK targeting worship

00:34:20.640 or just, you know, events and

00:34:22.920 organizations more generally.

00:34:24.340 I don't know the history of

00:34:25.980 it.

00:34:26.620 I'd need an American who's

00:34:28.160 better versed in that sort

00:34:29.120 of thing to explain it.

00:34:29.880 to me.

00:34:30.340 Fed on fed violence.

00:34:31.560 It may well have been.

00:34:32.780 Probably was.

00:34:33.980 And he bought them coffee

00:34:35.640 and donuts.

00:34:36.520 Harmeet Dhillon DOJ civil

00:34:38.260 rights is on it.

00:34:39.480 People have mentioned

00:34:40.160 Harmeet Dhillon.

00:34:41.100 Don't know who that is.

00:34:42.460 I think it was mentioned

00:34:43.340 it was a, it might have

00:34:45.880 been the assistant attorney

00:34:47.580 general or something.

00:34:48.820 So.

00:34:50.420 Take it away.

00:34:52.200 All right.

00:34:52.700 I thought we would talk

00:34:54.280 about Big Brother because

00:34:55.400 Big Brother is watching you.

00:34:56.940 So I want to paint a picture

00:34:58.000 and I want to read out some

00:34:58.840 quotes and you can tell me

00:35:00.280 whether this is real life

00:35:01.340 or just a fantasy.

00:35:03.980 Yeah.

00:35:04.780 Or, or, well, I sort of

00:35:06.420 shot myself in the foot

00:35:07.080 there.

00:35:07.260 They're not quotes.

00:35:08.060 I'm just going to read

00:35:08.660 some stuff out.

00:35:09.260 You can tell me if it's

00:35:09.980 happening or not.

00:35:10.800 Or if it's quotes from a

00:35:12.220 book.

00:35:12.820 It's all happening is my

00:35:13.860 guess.

00:35:14.500 Spoiler alert.

00:35:14.980 They're all quotes from a

00:35:15.860 book.

00:35:16.100 But it's prophetic.

00:35:17.500 So, the party told you to

00:35:20.600 reject the evidence of your

00:35:22.000 eyes and ears.

00:35:23.540 It was their final, most

00:35:24.700 essential command.

00:35:27.920 That's happening, isn't it?

00:35:29.540 I recognise the quote.

00:35:30.840 That's definitely happening.

00:35:31.840 I can think of quite a few

00:35:32.920 things.

00:35:34.860 Like the evidence of certain

00:35:37.320 injections having certain

00:35:38.860 effects long before they're

00:35:40.620 available to the public.

00:35:41.740 And I read the research.

00:35:42.840 I know for a fact that

00:35:44.280 research existed.

00:35:45.700 And then they claim that

00:35:46.800 there was no research and

00:35:48.320 they were in the dark.

00:35:50.140 They had no idea.

00:35:51.580 It's not true.

00:35:53.480 And if all others accepted

00:35:54.940 the lie which the party

00:35:56.220 imposed, if all records

00:35:57.760 told the same tale, then the

00:35:59.400 lie passed into history and

00:36:00.780 became truth.

00:36:02.820 Which goes on to, who

00:36:03.840 controls the past, controls

00:36:05.020 the future.

00:36:05.960 Who controls the present,

00:36:07.180 controls the past.

00:36:08.460 Which we're seeing

00:36:09.320 demonstrably now anyway when

00:36:10.920 they're trying to say black

00:36:12.040 people were always

00:36:12.820 in England.

00:36:13.520 That's just not true, but

00:36:14.520 all right.

00:36:14.900 Well done.

00:36:16.200 Diversity built Britain.

00:36:17.360 That didn't, but all

00:36:18.120 right.

00:36:18.320 Well done.

00:36:19.680 Sloppy seconds, I guess.

00:36:22.220 White people built England.

00:36:25.080 British white people, yeah.

00:36:26.920 Ah, yeah.

00:36:28.140 English mainly.

00:36:29.520 Scots and the Welsh.

00:36:30.160 Yeah, that is true.

00:36:31.580 Somewhat.

00:36:32.320 Nice little dunk there.

00:36:33.720 It's all right.

00:36:34.000 I'm half Scottish.

00:36:34.760 I'm half dunking on myself.

00:36:36.540 Fair.

00:36:37.060 Don't you see the whole

00:36:37.980 aim of news speak is to

00:36:39.940 narrow the range of thought.

00:36:41.360 In the end, we shall make

00:36:43.580 thought crime literally

00:36:44.940 impossible because there

00:36:46.420 will be no words in which

00:36:47.700 to express it.

00:36:51.300 Yeah, I can see that.

00:36:52.880 And also, I think there is a

00:36:55.940 weird backfire effect here.

00:36:57.740 It's not going quite as Orwell

00:37:00.340 predicted in that words are

00:37:03.740 coming back with a vengeance

00:37:05.020 and people are happier to use

00:37:07.280 certain words that in the

00:37:08.560 past, even some of the more

00:37:10.580 fringe-right were like,

00:37:11.480 less so.

00:37:14.640 Certain R words have come back.

00:37:17.880 Yeah, the left have, even the

00:37:19.120 left have had to re-adapt to

00:37:21.400 that coming back in vogue.

00:37:22.640 They've started using it again.

00:37:24.860 In vogue.

00:37:26.280 It's a great word.

00:37:27.500 I love it.

00:37:28.040 Very descriptive.

00:37:28.780 Yeah.

00:37:29.080 The tards are in vogue again.

00:37:30.140 We always were.

00:37:34.360 If the facts say otherwise, the

00:37:36.180 facts must be altered.

00:37:37.620 Very similar to the others.

00:37:39.260 And all beliefs, habits, tastes,

00:37:40.700 emotions, mental attitudes that

00:37:42.620 characterize our time are really

00:37:44.580 designed to sustain the mystique of

00:37:46.360 the party and prevent the true

00:37:47.680 nature of present-day society from

00:37:49.380 being perceived.

00:37:50.940 To be fair, Labour's doing such a

00:37:52.760 bad job in Britain that it's

00:37:54.140 difficult to say this is

00:37:55.200 happening.

00:37:56.260 Were they more competent?

00:37:57.520 Their attempt, though.

00:37:58.820 That's true.

00:37:59.880 And also, that's the attempt that

00:38:01.600 the Tories were doing as well,

00:38:03.100 right?

00:38:03.380 It's like, we've got to keep this

00:38:05.740 mirage, managerialise everything

00:38:08.540 and keep slamming it, you know,

00:38:11.620 in your face.

00:38:12.260 Diversity's fine.

00:38:13.160 This isn't an issue.

00:38:14.140 Blah, blah, blah.

00:38:15.380 Don't question it.

00:38:16.140 Here's Rishi Sunak's face next to

00:38:17.920 a diversity-built Britain coin.

00:38:19.660 To their discredit, they were at

00:38:21.600 least better at this than Labour

00:38:23.580 are.

00:38:24.040 Labour can't resist shoving it in

00:38:25.580 people's faces, whereas the Tories

00:38:27.180 were a little bit more sly about

00:38:28.640 to it, which in many ways makes it

00:38:30.280 worse.

00:38:31.060 That is true.

00:38:32.000 That is true.

00:38:32.660 And last but not least, Big

00:38:34.080 Brother is watching you.

00:38:37.900 I don't have a Big Brother.

00:38:39.720 You do now, I'm afraid.

00:38:40.960 Oh, damn it.

00:38:41.660 You do now.

00:38:42.220 That was all well, obviously,

00:38:43.900 from 1984.

00:38:45.840 I just wanted to sort of build up

00:38:47.400 because actually, yeah, although

00:38:49.460 there's some pushback from, you

00:38:52.920 know, the sort of status quo that

00:38:55.180 the establishment is trying to

00:38:57.200 impose, it was very prophetic,

00:39:00.100 actually.

00:39:00.820 You know, if you go through this, it

00:39:02.080 is almost as if, you know, members

00:39:05.600 of the WEF, whatever you want to call

00:39:07.000 it, the globalists, use this as some

00:39:09.500 form of manuscript for how they planned

00:39:12.200 to rule everyone.

00:39:14.140 So I just thought I'd set the stage

00:39:15.480 because something is happening in the

00:39:19.660 UK.

00:39:20.000 Big Brother is now watching you.

00:39:22.540 This is happening and I'm so shocked

00:39:28.500 by what the sort of end goal here is

00:39:32.640 and I want to go through some crime

00:39:35.100 stats and the sort of situation that

00:39:37.700 we're currently in in the UK because

00:39:40.100 if Big Brother is watching you, what's

00:39:41.700 the aim?

00:39:43.080 What's the actual aim, right?

00:39:45.920 Take control, one would imagine, right?

00:39:48.940 Yeah, well, yeah, we'll get to that.

00:39:50.960 Yeah, so crime outcomes in England and

00:39:52.980 Wales, right?

00:39:53.580 This is appalling.

00:39:55.600 So the UK's crime resolution rate,

00:39:57.600 often measured by the proportion of

00:39:59.540 crimes leading to a charge or summons,

00:40:02.440 has been low and fluctuating with around

00:40:04.520 six to seven percent.

00:40:08.280 And that's of which is actually reported

00:40:10.480 as well, remember.

00:40:11.640 Six to seven percent of crimes are actually

00:40:14.180 solved.

00:40:15.160 Yeah.

00:40:16.580 Well, that's a terrible number.

00:40:17.920 Well, for victim-based crimes.

00:40:20.400 Victim-based.

00:40:21.140 So victimless crimes.

00:40:22.220 So the most important ones.

00:40:24.780 Victimless crimes, presumably,

00:40:27.040 I can't really think of a victimless

00:40:28.680 crime other than maybe, I don't know.

00:40:31.200 Hurt words online.

00:40:32.200 Yeah, hurty words online, yeah.

00:40:33.980 Yeah.

00:40:34.260 Well, they wouldn't necessarily present it

00:40:36.160 as a victimless crime.

00:40:37.020 Yeah, so overall charge rate,

00:40:40.320 six to seven percent of recorded crimes

00:40:42.420 resulted in a charge or summons.

00:40:44.420 This is all based around

00:40:45.580 sort of 24 to 25 time period.

00:40:50.200 Six to seven percent of recorded crimes

00:40:52.440 get a charge.

00:40:54.940 I mean, that's mad.

00:40:56.420 And what's worse

00:40:57.440 is violent and sexual offenses

00:41:00.240 in the year to June 2024,

00:41:02.300 for only about 11 percent of these cases

00:41:04.580 led to a suspect being charged,

00:41:07.040 caught or charged, sorry,

00:41:08.720 with some urban areas

00:41:09.940 even worse than that, seven percent.

00:41:13.260 Blimey.

00:41:13.620 In the metro police area.

00:41:15.240 Yeah.

00:41:15.760 So put another way,

00:41:18.260 if you're a murderer or a rapist,

00:41:20.220 you've got a 93 percent chance

00:41:21.940 of getting away with it.

00:41:23.400 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

00:41:24.820 absolutely.

00:41:25.220 And this is on top of a society

00:41:27.720 like London, for instance,

00:41:29.300 has a reported,

00:41:31.620 estimated million CCTV cameras.

00:41:36.340 So that's, you know,

00:41:38.340 a tenth of the legal population then.

00:41:41.240 It's mad.

00:41:42.060 Absolutely mad.

00:41:43.460 So from there, obviously,

00:41:46.320 crime's not going very well.

00:41:47.900 Well, crime is going very well

00:41:48.820 if you're a criminal.

00:41:51.300 But there's a huge backlog, isn't there?

00:41:53.020 So of those that do get charged,

00:41:56.400 not a lot is happening with them, right?

00:41:58.400 Not a lot is happening with them.

00:41:59.440 We've got a huge backlog.

00:42:01.380 This backlog is massive.

00:42:03.460 It's absolutely massive.

00:42:04.900 Well, we've still got a justice system

00:42:06.340 that was designed and purposed

00:42:08.940 for a white British population

00:42:11.540 that isn't prone to committing crime.

00:42:13.900 Oh, it's that mythical high-trust society, isn't it?

00:42:15.980 And it's also probably about

00:42:16.900 20 to 30 million people

00:42:18.820 lower than the current population.

00:42:21.300 Exactly.

00:42:21.780 There's a much lower population

00:42:23.700 who are much less likely

00:42:26.120 to commit crime,

00:42:27.800 which probably is part of it.

00:42:30.420 Yeah.

00:42:31.120 And so this is just a BBC article

00:42:33.060 published on the 18th of December.

00:42:35.400 More than 79,600 criminal cases

00:42:37.860 are now caught in the court's backlog.

00:42:40.560 That's massive.

00:42:42.020 That's a huge backlog.

00:42:44.420 But you start to build this picture

00:42:46.100 of a completely fundamentally broken system.

00:42:48.560 So, no one's getting charged, really, effectively.

00:42:54.200 No crimes are being resolved.

00:42:56.000 And of which, those that are being charged

00:42:58.160 have to wait years to be seen, right?

00:43:04.160 And then, even if you do go to court,

00:43:09.420 prisons are running out of space.

00:43:11.420 So that's great.

00:43:12.600 Brilliant.

00:43:13.440 One of the interesting things about this as well

00:43:15.400 is that over the past,

00:43:17.280 well, basically since around 2011,

00:43:19.500 I think it was,

00:43:20.840 there's been a consistent degree of overcrowding.

00:43:24.720 There's a graph that the government published,

00:43:26.660 which is basically just a straight line of...

00:43:30.000 There you go.

00:43:31.000 That's a slightly different one

00:43:32.280 than the one I'm talking about.

00:43:33.560 But it's relatively similar, all the same,

00:43:36.320 in that it's not been this massive,

00:43:39.420 incomprehensible spike up

00:43:41.600 where you'd say,

00:43:42.180 okay, well, that's a massive spike.

00:43:44.040 You've had to accommodate for it.

00:43:45.720 A graph like that of a prison population,

00:43:49.140 you should be able to accommodate for that

00:43:50.900 in a functional country.

00:43:52.340 Sure, it's going up,

00:43:53.660 but it's not massively.

00:43:55.900 Yeah.

00:43:56.560 And so one of the things

00:43:58.520 that your society should be able to do

00:44:00.520 is have enough prisons

00:44:02.140 to put the bad people in.

00:44:04.360 It's not a big ask.

00:44:07.100 That's true.

00:44:07.860 That's true.

00:44:08.340 All the bad people shouldn't be in the country

00:44:09.620 is the better option.

00:44:11.840 Mass deportations.

00:44:12.920 Exactly.

00:44:13.540 I do like the sound of that.

00:44:16.000 So again,

00:44:16.680 building this sort of picture

00:44:17.460 of a fundamentally broken system.

00:44:19.780 I'm getting somewhere

00:44:20.460 with this big brother

00:44:21.140 who's watching your business

00:44:22.040 or I'm getting somewhere,

00:44:23.320 I'm getting somewhere with it.

00:44:24.240 Uh, and then,

00:44:26.400 so this happened.

00:44:29.780 This happened recently.

00:44:31.940 19th of January, 2026.

00:44:34.160 100 arrests

00:44:35.280 following new live facial recognition pilot in Croydon.

00:44:39.360 One, that just goes to show

00:44:40.680 how much of a dive Croydon is.

00:44:42.180 One absolute turd hole that place is.

00:44:44.560 Um, but also one,

00:44:47.660 who, who voted for facial recognition?

00:44:50.620 Who, who asked for that?

00:44:51.960 No one.

00:44:52.480 One, what purpose does this serve?

00:44:55.520 Because they've just built the picture

00:44:56.780 that everything's broken,

00:44:58.140 everything's fundamentally just not working, right?

00:45:01.420 No one's actually being charged

00:45:02.900 with anything anyway.

00:45:04.800 Even if they do get charged,

00:45:06.320 there's a massive backlog in the courts.

00:45:09.060 Right?

00:45:09.540 And so now you've,

00:45:10.800 you've rolled out facial recognition.

00:45:12.220 For what actual purpose?

00:45:14.160 What reason?

00:45:16.300 Well, there's,

00:45:17.260 there's multiple different ways of looking at this.

00:45:18.980 If it were,

00:45:20.200 if I had full confidence

00:45:21.580 that it would only have

00:45:22.860 the faces of criminals loaded into it

00:45:25.140 and, you know,

00:45:25.960 ordinary, legal, law-abiding citizens

00:45:27.960 are just another face

00:45:29.560 and it doesn't have, like,

00:45:30.560 a file that it pulls up

00:45:31.820 and registers your location,

00:45:33.640 which could be integrated

00:45:35.840 into something like this.

00:45:37.200 If it was purely just for the criminals

00:45:39.960 and I had confidence in a government

00:45:41.320 only focusing on that,

00:45:42.720 I would actually support

00:45:43.820 there being facial recognition

00:45:45.380 because it saves,

00:45:46.740 it saves people having to remember

00:45:48.900 what a face looks like.

00:45:50.160 However,

00:45:50.600 I don't believe that

00:45:51.680 that will be the case

00:45:52.600 and therefore I don't support it

00:45:54.260 because it will be used

00:45:55.680 to watch dissidents

00:45:57.560 or track innocent,

00:45:59.400 law-abiding citizens

00:46:00.220 who have not committed crimes.

00:46:02.040 and so I think

00:46:04.020 this is obviously

00:46:05.280 a little pilot.

00:46:06.860 They're saying,

00:46:07.420 look at it in,

00:46:08.240 look at its results,

00:46:09.260 it's arrested 100 people,

00:46:10.660 isn't this a good thing?

00:46:11.620 We should expand it

00:46:12.560 more and more

00:46:13.600 and the more architect,

00:46:15.320 you know,

00:46:15.660 the more architecture

00:46:16.380 they create

00:46:17.240 to then introduce

00:46:19.080 further and further measures,

00:46:21.700 it then becomes difficult

00:46:23.120 to reverse

00:46:24.580 because then they say,

00:46:25.680 well,

00:46:25.800 it's already in motion,

00:46:26.660 it's already going to happen,

00:46:27.760 we've already got

00:46:28.260 the infrastructure,

00:46:29.000 why not use it

00:46:31.060 to help better

00:46:32.020 govern the country

00:46:32.840 and then it's only going

00:46:34.460 to continue from there,

00:46:35.500 I think.

00:46:36.200 Well,

00:46:36.480 I mean,

00:46:37.040 if you look at this,

00:46:37.860 like you're saying here,

00:46:39.100 the way it's being presented,

00:46:40.660 it's got 100 arrests,

00:46:42.080 a third with violence

00:46:42.960 against women and girls,

00:46:44.360 offences such as

00:46:45.200 strangulation and sexual assault,

00:46:47.280 others include recall to prison,

00:46:49.520 burglary and possession

00:46:50.600 of offensive weapons.

00:46:51.780 So they make it all sound great,

00:46:53.160 especially the fact

00:46:54.040 that it's getting burglarers

00:46:55.480 because...

00:46:56.360 There was a kidnapper

00:46:57.280 that was actually arrested as well.

00:46:59.000 Yeah,

00:46:59.240 that's impressive.

00:47:00.080 I mean...

00:47:00.460 I agree.

00:47:01.340 Burglary is one of those things

00:47:02.860 that if you get burgled

00:47:04.100 in Britain,

00:47:05.200 you might as well

00:47:05.840 not report it really

00:47:07.120 because they will do nothing.

00:47:08.680 It is one of the least...

00:47:09.960 It's one of the crimes

00:47:10.800 that has the least likely chance

00:47:12.780 of anything actually coming of it.

00:47:14.660 You will just get burgled

00:47:15.620 and then nothing will happen.

00:47:16.460 So that's quite impressive.

00:47:18.360 The worry is

00:47:19.600 is that when people

00:47:20.400 like Tony Blair

00:47:21.140 are working alongside

00:47:22.260 organizations,

00:47:23.900 large-scale AI,

00:47:25.940 tech-based organizations

00:47:27.120 like Oracle

00:47:28.040 to start to bundle

00:47:29.660 everything together.

00:47:31.580 I know they've pulled it back

00:47:33.080 right now

00:47:33.680 or they say they've pulled it back

00:47:35.180 on things like

00:47:35.720 the mandatory digital IDs,

00:47:37.560 but they still say

00:47:38.240 that by 2029

00:47:39.300 they want to have things

00:47:40.740 like a biometric passport

00:47:42.320 moved fully online.

00:47:44.820 The likelihood with that

00:47:46.060 is it's all going to be

00:47:46.940 bundled together

00:47:47.620 into a particular app

00:47:49.000 for convenience

00:47:49.740 that people are going to

00:47:50.500 go along with

00:47:51.080 because it's convenient,

00:47:52.660 which is the exact same

00:47:54.060 ultimately

00:47:54.960 as a digital ID

00:47:56.740 that will then be used

00:47:57.900 to track

00:47:58.700 and log

00:47:59.940 all of your movements

00:48:01.060 and transactions

00:48:01.920 and verify

00:48:03.040 where and when you go.

00:48:04.420 And when you combine it

00:48:05.680 with these large

00:48:06.420 AI companies as well,

00:48:08.420 you see a similar thing

00:48:09.300 happening in America

00:48:10.120 with Palantir,

00:48:11.380 what these organizations

00:48:12.480 are going to do

00:48:13.160 is create an enormous

00:48:14.540 AI-powered database

00:48:16.380 of its citizens.

00:48:18.900 And what it can do

00:48:19.860 with that information

00:48:20.940 in AI

00:48:21.580 is begin to

00:48:23.340 make predictions,

00:48:25.440 recognize patterns

00:48:26.320 of behavior

00:48:26.980 and with that

00:48:28.020 it will measure that

00:48:29.040 against, say,

00:48:30.240 indicators for likelihood

00:48:31.720 of dissident action.

00:48:34.140 You don't even need

00:48:34.980 to talk about this

00:48:35.780 in the abstract

00:48:36.260 because one thing

00:48:37.240 that I'm thinking about

00:48:37.900 covering tomorrow

00:48:38.720 is that the police

00:48:41.460 are now using AI

00:48:43.040 to predict

00:48:44.220 when people are going

00:48:45.300 to commit crimes

00:48:46.380 in the future.

00:48:47.420 What?

00:48:48.320 Yeah, I know.

00:48:49.360 Where?

00:48:49.620 They're using it

00:48:50.540 to apparently

00:48:51.900 it's limited

00:48:52.800 to the thousand

00:48:53.580 most dangerous men

00:48:54.840 but will it stay

00:48:56.000 limited to the thousand

00:48:56.920 most dangerous men?

00:48:58.000 Of course it will.

00:48:58.720 It's a trial run.

00:48:59.520 Where is this being done?

00:49:00.720 I did not know this.

00:49:01.940 It's a trial run.

00:49:03.960 I think it might be

00:49:05.220 in London.

00:49:05.880 I'm not entirely sure.

00:49:06.120 Oh, it is in the UK?

00:49:07.160 It's in the UK.

00:49:08.340 That is insane.

00:49:10.440 It all gets bundled

00:49:11.940 together for predictive

00:49:13.280 behavior and then

00:49:14.180 with facial recognition

00:49:15.160 they'll just track you

00:49:16.100 wherever you go

00:49:16.940 and, you know,

00:49:18.600 you've added a new

00:49:20.840 layer to my take

00:49:22.400 then.

00:49:22.640 You're welcome.

00:49:23.340 So, all of this

00:49:25.060 is a long-winded way

00:49:26.020 to get to the

00:49:26.800 whole perspective

00:49:27.640 of

00:49:28.020 if the system

00:49:30.460 currently doesn't

00:49:31.520 work, which it

00:49:32.380 doesn't, right?

00:49:33.580 It's designed not to

00:49:34.600 work, I would argue.

00:49:35.300 It's designed, yeah,

00:49:36.240 that's my take.

00:49:37.780 It's designed not to

00:49:40.200 work for a very

00:49:41.000 key reason in mind.

00:49:44.300 That's the box

00:49:45.000 not working now.

00:49:45.880 Oh, son of a bitch.

00:49:46.540 Jury trials

00:49:48.240 scrapped.

00:49:50.480 Now, that's just

00:49:51.340 a symptom of the

00:49:52.660 whole situation,

00:49:53.800 right?

00:49:54.460 So, if you've got a

00:49:56.420 system that is

00:49:57.080 fundamentally broken

00:49:58.140 and you're not in

00:49:59.400 any way, shape, or

00:50:00.220 form trying to fix

00:50:01.220 it, but you are

00:50:02.220 instituting mechanisms

00:50:05.040 by which to overload

00:50:06.140 it more and more

00:50:06.880 and more, it's just

00:50:08.680 a way to justify.

00:50:10.240 It's, hey, this is a

00:50:11.160 problem that we've

00:50:12.120 created.

00:50:13.500 Here's our solution

00:50:14.580 for the problem

00:50:15.200 we've created.

00:50:16.680 So, on what's the

00:50:17.480 solution?

00:50:17.940 Well, we're going to

00:50:18.280 scrap jury trials.

00:50:19.880 We're going to do

00:50:20.280 what you've just,

00:50:23.240 you know, brand new

00:50:24.100 news for me.

00:50:25.860 AI monitoring

00:50:26.780 super criminals.

00:50:27.700 Brilliant.

00:50:28.120 Great.

00:50:28.360 Read it in the

00:50:28.880 newspaper this morning.

00:50:30.600 Madness.

00:50:31.180 Absolute madness.

00:50:32.200 So, this is just,

00:50:33.900 you know, this is a

00:50:34.500 manufactured situation.

00:50:35.780 No one asked for

00:50:36.820 live facial recognition.

00:50:38.880 No one wanted that.

00:50:39.720 That's, again, a

00:50:41.980 system which can

00:50:42.760 actually process the

00:50:43.700 people that you're

00:50:44.300 arresting, which is

00:50:45.140 great that they are

00:50:45.780 arresting these people.

00:50:46.600 I agree.

00:50:47.860 But what good is it to

00:50:49.780 arrest people that have

00:50:50.780 had all of these

00:50:51.360 offences if they're not

00:50:52.200 going to be able to

00:50:53.160 attend court for years

00:50:54.680 or go to prison anyway

00:50:56.320 for years?

00:50:58.940 It doesn't do anything

00:51:00.200 besides justify further

00:51:01.980 situations such as this.

00:51:04.340 Scrapping jury trials,

00:51:06.100 churning it out quicker,

00:51:07.200 being more administrative,

00:51:08.360 more managerial in your

00:51:09.720 process of justice.

00:51:12.280 Yeah, it's just another

00:51:13.280 erosion of freedom.

00:51:14.320 Meanwhile, sentencing

00:51:15.400 guidelines means that if

00:51:16.740 you are a nonce in

00:51:18.180 Britain and get arrested

00:51:19.260 and charged and

00:51:20.120 sentenced, you're

00:51:20.760 probably going to get

00:51:21.300 suspended sentence

00:51:22.260 anyway.

00:51:22.780 That's almost a guarantee

00:51:23.700 these days, to be honest.

00:51:25.000 One of the overlooked

00:51:25.700 things about this as well

00:51:27.140 is that by removing the

00:51:28.900 jury, it allows politicians

00:51:31.360 and the executive part of

00:51:33.160 government to have fewer

00:51:34.580 pressure points in the

00:51:36.020 judicial system to

00:51:37.860 influence basically

00:51:40.020 outcomes in a political

00:51:41.120 way.

00:51:41.780 Because if they have a

00:51:43.080 jury, there's at least

00:51:44.520 some interests of the

00:51:46.680 general population against

00:51:47.980 their rulers represented

00:51:49.200 to some degree at least.

00:51:51.040 Obviously, juries aren't

00:51:51.960 perfect, but if something

00:51:53.980 was universally bad for

00:51:55.520 all citizens, I think

00:51:57.460 they would be against it,

00:51:58.620 right?

00:51:59.280 And so...

00:51:59.900 You'd hope so.

00:52:01.480 I would hope so.

00:52:02.260 No promises with the

00:52:04.000 public as it is.

00:52:04.700 But with it just being a

00:52:07.860 judge coming to a

00:52:09.080 judgment and no one

00:52:10.060 else, it's so much easier

00:52:12.020 for them to control because

00:52:13.220 there are fewer nodes, fewer

00:52:14.680 people to control in the

00:52:15.920 first place, and the result

00:52:17.760 is just more power for

00:52:19.160 them.

00:52:19.700 Yeah, there's fewer

00:52:20.260 obstacles to the outcome

00:52:23.460 that they want, you know,

00:52:25.360 from the certain landscape.

00:52:26.800 So, I mean, this was...

00:52:29.200 This is my cynical brain,

00:52:30.820 basically, because I saw

00:52:31.960 this news of the live

00:52:32.960 facial recognition, and I

00:52:33.980 was like, I don't like

00:52:35.220 that, obviously.

00:52:36.680 But secondly, I was like,

00:52:38.180 what's the point?

00:52:40.100 Well, no one voted for it,

00:52:41.060 but what's the actual

00:52:41.780 point when fundamentally

00:52:43.080 the system is so broken?

00:52:45.220 Again, it could just be

00:52:46.360 people going, well, we

00:52:47.300 need line to, you know,

00:52:48.440 line to go up.

00:52:49.380 It's like, okay, but you

00:52:50.360 still haven't built new

00:52:51.280 prison spaces.

00:52:52.960 It wasn't really that

00:52:53.780 relevant, but they've said,

00:52:55.840 you know, the government

00:52:56.640 has said, well, we're

00:52:57.160 going to try and allocate

00:52:57.980 5,000 new spaces.

00:52:59.700 It's like, that's nothing.

00:53:01.300 That's going to do

00:53:02.060 actually nothing.

00:53:03.460 That's terrible.

00:53:05.920 And so all I could think

00:53:07.020 of, well, it's just a way

00:53:08.060 to manufacture more

00:53:09.440 extreme control.

00:53:10.820 I can even come up with

00:53:11.960 a more cynical

00:53:12.720 interpretation of this.

00:53:14.320 Even more cynical than

00:53:14.540 that.

00:53:15.100 Is that...

00:53:15.980 Very cynical.

00:53:16.620 Josh can always find a

00:53:17.620 way to be more cynical.

00:53:18.520 Can't wait.

00:53:18.840 That's true.

00:53:19.820 So...

00:53:19.900 Suck it to me.

00:53:20.960 It's being done under

00:53:22.340 the auspices of policing,

00:53:23.960 but actually it's for the

00:53:25.420 intelligence agencies

00:53:26.380 to monitor dissidents.

00:53:28.820 And if they don't have

00:53:29.900 the capacity to process

00:53:31.100 these new arrests in the

00:53:32.520 first place, they're well

00:53:33.840 aware of that.

00:53:34.420 They've talked about it as

00:53:35.320 a public issue.

00:53:37.240 Then one can only presume

00:53:38.940 the expansion of

00:53:40.320 prosecution is for

00:53:43.040 intelligence more than

00:53:44.920 policing.

00:53:46.540 Yeah.

00:53:46.880 It's entirely possible,

00:53:48.820 but we don't know for

00:53:49.760 certain, of course.

00:53:51.420 Yeah.

00:53:51.720 So Big Brother is

00:53:52.660 watching you.

00:53:53.400 Be careful.

00:53:53.920 There you go.

00:53:56.780 Let's go through a couple

00:53:57.720 of rumble rants.

00:54:00.380 OPH again.

00:54:01.400 Big Brotherization and

00:54:02.400 CCTV deluge have allowed

00:54:04.460 the government to tell

00:54:05.220 itself and their

00:54:05.960 globo-homo-

00:54:07.400 internationalist class

00:54:08.640 the fable that they're

00:54:09.480 still in control of UK

00:54:10.460 streets.

00:54:11.360 That's all it's for.

00:54:13.060 Yeah, I mean, we've...

00:54:13.820 I think we're one of the

00:54:14.740 most watched countries on

00:54:16.200 the planet.

00:54:17.140 Yep.

00:54:17.600 And yet our crime rate is

00:54:18.700 terrible.

00:54:19.160 Do you know that

00:54:20.040 Swindon, where we are

00:54:21.880 based, has the highest

00:54:23.260 density of CCTV cameras of

00:54:25.440 any place in Britain?

00:54:27.500 And I feel so safe

00:54:28.740 walking around.

00:54:29.480 Does it actually?

00:54:30.620 Yeah.

00:54:31.080 And it's a terrible

00:54:31.840 place.

00:54:32.140 Why?

00:54:32.980 It's like the correlation

00:54:34.240 between CCTV and safety

00:54:36.220 is basically zero.

00:54:38.440 It's negative.

00:54:39.840 Yeah.

00:54:40.160 Well, they can just

00:54:40.580 watch you get beaten up

00:54:41.700 or actually assaulted.

00:54:43.460 So it doesn't really

00:54:44.080 matter, does it?

00:54:44.820 Three videos for the

00:54:45.860 elites there.

00:54:46.520 I mean, that probably

00:54:47.340 is the case, to be fair.

00:54:48.640 They see the high crime

00:54:51.280 rates and they go,

00:54:51.960 OK, we'll put more

00:54:53.120 CCTVs where there are

00:54:54.820 high crime rates.

00:54:56.060 And then they put the

00:54:56.680 CCTV in and continue

00:54:58.360 to do nothing.

00:54:59.700 So that is probably

00:55:01.100 just like, this will

00:55:01.840 solve everything.

00:55:02.980 Doesn't solve anything.

00:55:04.560 Really.

00:55:04.860 Just watches people

00:55:05.720 commit crime instead.

00:55:07.320 Great.

00:55:08.240 That's a random name

00:55:09.320 saying we won't need

00:55:11.060 more jails.

00:55:11.740 And then he says that

00:55:13.580 we need to return to

00:55:14.740 how we used to deal

00:55:15.520 with criminals back in

00:55:16.400 the day.

00:55:17.240 I'm quite a fan of

00:55:18.360 that idea.

00:55:19.380 Habsification says I

00:55:20.180 need to start watching

00:55:21.000 Psycho Pass.

00:55:22.020 That's good.

00:55:23.260 Recommend.

00:55:23.820 Yeah, thank you for

00:55:24.360 the recommendation.

00:55:25.260 People have already

00:55:25.780 said, but I'll keep

00:55:27.080 that in mind.

00:55:27.860 Cranky Texan, the

00:55:28.580 reason they import

00:55:29.400 criminals and don't

00:55:30.480 prosecute these crimes

00:55:31.560 is so that you will

00:55:32.540 walk into the CBDC

00:55:33.620 digital panopticon

00:55:34.880 willingly.

00:55:36.100 The WEF markets it

00:55:37.000 openly.

00:55:37.840 You will own nothing

00:55:38.660 and like it.

00:55:39.880 Certainly part of it.

00:55:41.280 Random name, we're in

00:55:42.680 late-stage feminized

00:55:44.300 soy-ciety where just

00:55:46.360 like those hags in

00:55:47.240 schools, the rulers

00:55:48.020 refuse to punish

00:55:48.880 wrongdoers and instead

00:55:49.800 punish everyone else

00:55:50.680 and especially punish

00:55:51.780 those pointing it

00:55:52.700 out.

00:55:53.000 Yes, it's called

00:55:53.740 anarcho...

00:55:55.400 Anarcho-tyranny.

00:55:57.200 Anarcho-tyranny.

00:55:58.000 Yes, I forgot the

00:55:58.900 name of it for a

00:55:59.540 moment there.

00:55:59.920 I was about to call

00:56:00.640 it anarcho-syndicalism.

00:56:02.000 It's almost like

00:56:02.380 you're tired.

00:56:03.280 I need some coffee.

00:56:04.660 I know, right?

00:56:05.640 I know.

00:56:06.560 If only, if only

00:56:08.420 some office that I

00:56:10.660 worked in had provided

00:56:12.180 non-decaffeinated coffee.

00:56:13.900 Oh, you wusses, you

00:56:14.980 don't need coffee to

00:56:15.980 function.

00:56:17.040 And anyway, I want

00:56:17.800 archaeo-tyranny.

00:56:20.640 You want archaeo-tyranny?

00:56:22.120 You want...

00:56:22.480 Tyranny of the

00:56:23.060 archaeologists.

00:56:25.900 I was going to say, is

00:56:26.740 this a Renaud Camus book

00:56:27.980 that I've just not heard

00:56:28.900 of or something?

00:56:30.380 Anyway, right, so let's

00:56:33.380 talk about my new

00:56:34.820 favourite subject.

00:56:36.380 I thought this would be

00:56:37.060 a bit more fun for this

00:56:38.840 one, which is the

00:56:39.680 burgeoning genre of

00:56:42.400 YouTube ethnography.

00:56:44.560 Because there's lots of

00:56:45.340 these travel vloggers who

00:56:46.760 go around looking at

00:56:48.160 all kinds of weird

00:56:49.440 stuff.

00:56:49.960 A lot of them have

00:56:50.600 started to do kind of

00:56:51.480 investigative journalism

00:56:52.860 of the old-fashioned

00:56:54.180 kind, as they should if

00:56:55.920 they want to use their

00:56:56.820 powers responsibly to

00:56:58.580 try and investigate

00:56:59.400 welfare fraud and

00:57:00.720 other kinds of

00:57:01.560 criminal activities.

00:57:02.820 But what I realised a

00:57:04.020 lot of this is, is

00:57:05.260 essentially, like this

00:57:06.820 gentleman who's going to

00:57:07.720 be the subject of

00:57:08.500 today's video, Tyler

00:57:09.460 Olivier, in a video that

00:57:10.780 I believe you covered

00:57:11.920 a few months ago when

00:57:13.500 it first came out.

00:57:14.480 My highest brow

00:57:15.100 segment ever.

00:57:16.180 Yeah, it's called

00:57:16.720 Inside India's Poop

00:57:18.160 Throwing Festival.

00:57:19.920 What this is, is a

00:57:21.160 form of anthropology,

00:57:23.380 it's ethnography, it's

00:57:24.540 going to foreign lands

00:57:26.320 and examining foreign

00:57:28.020 peoples and seeing

00:57:29.140 their cultures and how

00:57:31.540 beautiful they can be,

00:57:33.560 my friends.

00:57:34.100 I won't play any of

00:57:35.080 this video, I think

00:57:35.880 the thumbnail says

00:57:37.500 enough.

00:57:37.840 This is the definition

00:57:38.680 of beauty to me, I

00:57:39.740 mean.

00:57:40.200 The poop throwing

00:57:41.000 festival is real and

00:57:43.260 despite the fact that

00:57:44.160 it's a quite, if I

00:57:45.500 remember, sacred ritual

00:57:47.940 festival that goes on in

00:57:49.720 this location where it

00:57:50.900 happens.

00:57:51.480 They found an idol to an

00:57:53.560 Indian Hindu god in a

00:57:55.540 pile of cow dung and

00:57:56.560 then all of a sudden it

00:57:57.540 was sacred cow dung and

00:57:59.220 therefore, obviously cows

00:58:00.660 were already sacred, but

00:58:02.100 now the dung was extra

00:58:03.160 special and it came to

00:58:05.340 them that they had to

00:58:06.040 have this cow poo

00:58:07.240 throwing festival in this

00:58:09.000 very small village.

00:58:09.900 Which Tyler decided to

00:58:11.180 subject himself to.

00:58:12.960 For your viewing

00:58:14.440 entertainment and also

00:58:16.040 for the purpose of

00:58:17.480 scientific anthropological

00:58:19.280 study.

00:58:20.340 The people must know.

00:58:22.880 Of course, this guy, I

00:58:24.820 don't want to.

00:58:25.940 He did it so that I

00:58:27.540 don't have to.

00:58:28.420 And I thank you for

00:58:29.140 your service there, my

00:58:30.060 friend.

00:58:30.240 Man, look at his

00:58:30.820 look at that.

00:58:31.620 Is he wearing gloves?

00:58:32.460 Is that just his bare

00:58:33.400 hand?

00:58:33.820 No, the opening scene

00:58:34.900 of this is him getting

00:58:36.020 hit almost in the mouth

00:58:37.240 with flying cow dung.

00:58:39.140 Yeah, so I'm glad that

00:58:40.780 he did it so that I

00:58:41.640 don't have to.

00:58:42.340 Thank you, Tyler.

00:58:43.480 The problem was that he

00:58:44.360 kind of stepped on a

00:58:45.280 landmine with this because

00:58:46.780 a lot of Indians online.

00:58:49.240 He stepped on a bit of

00:58:50.740 a cow pat there.

00:58:51.680 I stood in there.

00:58:52.720 There you go.

00:58:54.160 A lot of people did

00:58:57.200 not want him talking

00:58:58.300 about this, mostly

00:58:59.220 Indians online because

00:59:00.700 they thought it made

00:59:01.420 their culture look weird

00:59:02.660 and look bad.

00:59:03.920 And you find that with

00:59:04.700 a lot of this kind of

00:59:06.160 study, I'll call it,

00:59:08.200 which is when you go in

00:59:09.540 and examine these

00:59:11.000 foreign cultures and

00:59:12.140 see what kind of

00:59:12.820 practices and rituals

00:59:14.100 they actually get up to,

00:59:15.560 it can look very

00:59:16.320 strange.

00:59:17.240 It can look very

00:59:17.900 foreign.

00:59:18.520 It isn't very flattering

00:59:19.820 on the international

00:59:20.620 stage.

00:59:21.140 He wasn't actually that

00:59:21.800 mean about it.

00:59:22.720 I've seen the clips

00:59:24.400 from it.

00:59:24.740 He's actually very

00:59:25.700 friendly to all of the

00:59:26.860 people and all of the

00:59:27.860 people in the village

00:59:28.660 that do it, outside of

00:59:29.820 the whole, you know,

00:59:30.440 flinging cow poo at

00:59:31.520 each other, were all

00:59:32.740 very friendly and

00:59:33.620 accommodating to him.

00:59:35.000 Yeah, if you actually

00:59:36.160 watch the video, it

00:59:37.580 isn't as bad as it

00:59:39.000 might seem from the

00:59:40.060 outside.

00:59:40.580 Obviously, I'd never go

00:59:41.760 to a cow pooing

00:59:43.280 festival.

00:59:44.840 It's one of the last

00:59:45.600 things I'd do, probably

00:59:46.580 on planet Earth.

00:59:48.160 But not the very last.

00:59:50.080 So there's a non-zero

00:59:51.300 chance that we can

00:59:52.300 somehow manipulate

00:59:53.320 Josh into going.

00:59:54.900 Yeah, it's a bit more

00:59:55.960 appealing than like a

00:59:57.100 festival.

00:59:57.720 Yeah.

00:59:58.280 A festival where I just

00:59:59.300 get murdered ritualistically.

01:00:02.140 It's funny that.

01:00:03.420 So this is the offer we

01:00:05.440 need to present to

01:00:06.240 Josh.

01:00:06.980 Can I choose neither?

01:00:09.060 No.

01:00:09.740 Okay.

01:00:10.440 It's either or, mate.

01:00:11.380 Sorry.

01:00:11.620 I have a murder or

01:00:12.520 cow poo festival.

01:00:13.880 Yeah.

01:00:14.140 Just get it over with.

01:00:15.120 Murder me.

01:00:15.560 One or the other.

01:00:16.180 Oh, there you go.

01:00:17.500 Don't, please don't

01:00:18.180 murder Josh.

01:00:18.700 We need him.

01:00:20.320 Even though he doesn't

01:00:21.020 even work here.

01:00:23.560 But yeah, it makes

01:00:25.380 people look bad and

01:00:26.760 they think it affects

01:00:27.560 their reputation.

01:00:28.960 And Tyler goes and

01:00:29.660 does lots of different

01:00:30.700 videos like this.

01:00:32.200 And we're talking about

01:00:32.900 the most recent one,

01:00:33.700 but I just wanted to

01:00:34.260 give a shout out to his

01:00:35.320 thumbnail game being

01:00:37.540 absolutely hilarious.

01:00:39.680 Because you notice he

01:00:40.660 has this repeated

01:00:41.680 format where he's

01:00:42.700 I exposed scammers

01:00:44.340 in X city.

01:00:46.080 I exposed scammers

01:00:47.680 in Tokyo.

01:00:48.820 I investigated the

01:00:50.020 murder capital of

01:00:51.320 America.

01:00:52.460 I invested fighting

01:00:53.480 scammers in Paris.

01:00:55.640 Exposed scammers in

01:00:56.800 Barcelona.

01:00:57.240 You didn't read the

01:00:57.920 best part of that

01:00:58.780 title.

01:00:59.660 Fart spray gun.

01:01:01.200 Plus two bodyguards.

01:01:02.400 Plus two bodyguards.

01:01:03.240 I investigated murder

01:01:04.640 city and you'll notice

01:01:05.860 that this guy, he has a

01:01:07.980 very specific demographic

01:01:09.520 that he chooses for all

01:01:11.180 of these AI generated

01:01:12.500 thumbnails.

01:01:13.160 But damn, if they

01:01:14.420 don't get views, you

01:01:15.460 know, fair play to the

01:01:16.560 guy.

01:01:16.800 We could be learning

01:01:17.580 some lessons.

01:01:18.440 He wants to get sued

01:01:19.420 as well.

01:01:19.840 Look at what he said

01:01:20.400 about the Church of

01:01:21.080 Scientology.

01:01:22.040 Yeah, the most evil

01:01:22.900 cult in America.

01:01:23.840 But he got 4.6 million

01:01:25.140 views on it though.

01:01:26.220 So yeah, and he's

01:01:27.320 willing to talk about

01:01:28.420 basically anything by

01:01:29.600 the looks of it.

01:01:30.360 Whereas some of these

01:01:31.200 people, there are

01:01:31.920 certain subjects that

01:01:32.820 they don't want to

01:01:33.340 talk about.

01:01:34.300 He is more than

01:01:35.000 willing to go out

01:01:35.680 there and do it.

01:01:36.320 And I respect that.

01:01:37.420 He also spoke about

01:01:38.440 like Nick Shirley did

01:01:39.440 the Minneapolis Somali

01:01:41.140 situation where you

01:01:43.060 can see him just

01:01:43.760 pointing to them all

01:01:44.700 going into the

01:01:45.620 welfare shop.

01:01:47.020 So obviously AI.

01:01:48.800 Yeah, one of my

01:01:49.780 favourites is this one.

01:01:50.720 I investigated the

01:01:51.640 drug overdose capital

01:01:52.760 of America where there

01:01:53.640 are all of these people

01:01:54.500 going into the

01:01:55.540 fentanyl store.

01:01:56.600 Wow, when did they

01:01:57.260 introduce those?

01:01:58.620 Having never been to

01:02:00.240 America before, I can

01:02:01.620 only assume that you

01:02:02.480 have one of these on

01:02:03.340 every street corner.

01:02:05.340 Where are you going,

01:02:06.500 darling?

01:02:06.800 I just did the

01:02:07.420 fentanyl store.

01:02:08.100 Oh, don't forget to

01:02:08.940 pick some up for the

01:02:09.760 kids.

01:02:10.320 Didn't you know that

01:02:10.900 that's where George

01:02:11.500 Floyd's $20 note that

01:02:13.360 was fake got refused

01:02:14.600 from?

01:02:15.020 It all makes sense

01:02:16.420 now.

01:02:16.760 I don't know how we

01:02:17.420 didn't see it before.

01:02:18.940 But I really love this

01:02:20.420 kind of clickbait

01:02:21.280 thumbnail.

01:02:22.000 It's just entertaining

01:02:23.080 to me.

01:02:23.640 But again, he's

01:02:24.920 actually gone outside

01:02:25.800 of just the pure

01:02:26.580 Somali in Minneapolis

01:02:28.600 situation and he's

01:02:29.520 put out this promotion

01:02:32.080 for another one where

01:02:33.620 he's doing a similar

01:02:34.740 kind of format to

01:02:36.660 Nick Shirley going

01:02:37.540 around and asking

01:02:38.120 if he can put his

01:02:38.860 kid, his imaginary

01:02:40.340 child, in Somali

01:02:41.780 owned daycare.

01:02:42.760 Except this time he's

01:02:43.740 in Columbus, Ohio.

01:02:46.360 So a completely

01:02:47.420 different city in a

01:02:48.780 completely different

01:02:49.600 state where they

01:02:50.820 appear to be doing

01:02:51.720 the exact same scam.

01:02:54.100 Making me wonder if

01:02:55.400 there may be some

01:02:56.080 kind of, I don't

01:02:56.660 know, like a

01:02:57.360 clandestine NGO or

01:03:00.000 state backed

01:03:00.660 organization or just

01:03:02.400 back channels on

01:03:03.300 their Tony Blair

01:03:04.180 provided iPhones

01:03:05.960 that just gives them

01:03:07.560 maybe like an

01:03:08.060 instruction guide or

01:03:09.220 manual on how to

01:03:10.540 set these things up

01:03:11.580 with state paperwork.

01:03:13.220 Or this could just

01:03:13.800 be how they are.

01:03:14.900 Or it could just be

01:03:15.640 how they are.

01:03:16.360 But also, they

01:03:18.440 aren't the smartest.

01:03:20.660 That's true.

01:03:21.120 Aren't they

01:03:21.380 medically retarded,

01:03:23.260 isn't it, IQ-wise?

01:03:25.240 Something like that.

01:03:25.960 67 average IQ, I

01:03:28.000 think it was off the

01:03:28.680 top of my head.

01:03:29.280 That's medically

01:03:29.520 retarded then.

01:03:30.860 To be fair, taking

01:03:31.840 over...

01:03:31.980 Clinically.

01:03:32.340 Clinically retarded.

01:03:32.900 Taking over an oil

01:03:34.500 tanker is not exactly

01:03:36.020 the easiest thing.

01:03:37.080 And, you know, piracy

01:03:38.240 is...

01:03:39.080 There's a threshold

01:03:39.840 there.

01:03:40.300 There's ingenuity.

01:03:41.240 There's creativity.

01:03:42.300 We're not denying

01:03:42.940 that.

01:03:43.300 The Captain Phillips,

01:03:44.220 that film with Tom

01:03:44.880 Hanks, you know?

01:03:45.680 Yeah, yeah.

01:03:46.240 There's teamwork

01:03:46.880 involved in all of this.

01:03:47.600 I'm the captain now.

01:03:50.060 I am the decan now.

01:03:52.520 Yeah, but you can see,

01:03:53.340 I think actually by the

01:03:54.400 looks of it with this

01:03:55.260 one, people criticized

01:03:56.660 Nick Shirley for just

01:03:57.800 going around with like

01:03:59.020 three bodyguards, a

01:04:01.180 camera crew, and very

01:04:02.660 obviously being a guy

01:04:04.320 filming a documentary

01:04:05.920 on all of the fraud

01:04:06.980 going on in

01:04:07.940 Minnesotan daycare

01:04:09.100 centers.

01:04:10.200 Oh, sorry,

01:04:10.560 Minneapolis daycare

01:04:11.500 centers, which is

01:04:12.680 probably why some of

01:04:14.180 those people came

01:04:14.940 across so standoffish.

01:04:16.860 In this, he seems to

01:04:18.400 actually be a little

01:04:20.360 bit more clandestine

01:04:22.120 about it, where he's

01:04:23.740 hiding his camera and

01:04:25.180 what he's filming, so

01:04:26.080 he actually gets into a

01:04:27.180 few of these places so

01:04:28.520 he can better verify how

01:04:30.040 accurate they are or

01:04:30.940 not.

01:04:31.160 Not saying that Nick

01:04:32.060 Shirley wasn't also

01:04:33.020 just showing the

01:04:34.540 obvious fraud that

01:04:36.040 was going on, but

01:04:37.080 that's the kind of

01:04:37.560 thing that's been

01:04:37.900 going on, but he

01:04:38.380 decided out only two

01:04:40.260 months after the whole

01:04:41.240 India debacle where

01:04:42.320 he almost decided not

01:04:43.900 to put the video up

01:04:45.020 and then decided to

01:04:46.240 go, screw it, I will

01:04:47.000 put it up.

01:04:47.640 He decided to step on

01:04:48.840 possibly the most

01:04:50.020 dangerous landmine

01:04:51.280 possible when he

01:04:53.220 decided to investigate

01:04:55.240 an upstate New York

01:04:56.920 town, more like a

01:04:58.400 little village, I

01:04:59.240 believe it's called

01:04:59.840 Curious Joel, which

01:05:02.740 he says, invaded by

01:05:04.500 welfare addicted Jews.

01:05:06.460 Why can I hear the

01:05:07.680 Havana Gila from the

01:05:08.820 sewer grates?

01:05:09.460 What's going on?

01:05:10.300 I don't know if he

01:05:11.020 played, let's check a

01:05:12.220 little bit of this

01:05:12.840 little trailer we put

01:05:13.580 on Twitter.

01:05:14.260 This is Curious Joel, a

01:05:16.180 village of 44,000

01:05:17.960 Hasidic Jews in upstate

01:05:19.460 New York that primarily

01:05:20.720 speak Yiddish, have an

01:05:22.160 average of seven kids

01:05:23.400 per family, rely heavily

01:05:24.980 on state assistance and

01:05:26.300 welfare programs like

01:05:27.480 Medicare, SNAP, housing

01:05:28.980 assistance and tax

01:05:30.260 credits from their many

01:05:31.260 kids.

01:05:31.840 How many kids do most

01:05:32.780 people have out here?

01:05:33.760 17, 18.

01:05:34.720 How do they afford 17,

01:05:35.800 18 kids?

01:05:36.580 They are proud to do

01:05:37.860 what the Torah says, that

01:05:38.940 you need to be multiple

01:05:39.900 and fruitful.

01:05:41.540 Wow.

01:05:41.960 How do people afford to

01:05:42.700 have like 10 kids out

01:05:43.780 here?

01:05:44.120 The community is based

01:05:44.940 on this.

01:05:45.480 So, okay, so is it

01:05:46.240 wealthy members of the

01:05:47.100 community give charity?

01:05:48.180 Yes, mostly.

01:05:49.080 I don't talk to

01:05:50.100 suspicious persons.

01:05:51.460 How am I suspicious?

01:05:52.680 Do you study Torah?

01:05:53.360 You work for Hamas?

01:05:55.760 What do you do for

01:05:57.080 work?

01:05:57.780 Nothing.

01:05:58.240 How do you make money?

01:05:59.640 My wife.

01:06:00.320 Your wife?

01:06:01.000 I'm doing home care.

01:06:02.480 What?

01:06:03.540 So you get a little bit

01:06:04.700 of the idea of what

01:06:06.040 he's investigating there

01:06:07.420 and like with the

01:06:08.740 Indian village thing

01:06:10.620 as well, if you watch

01:06:11.800 the full video as I

01:06:13.040 have, he's not really

01:06:15.720 as harsh on these

01:06:17.920 guys as the clickbaity

01:06:19.580 trailer might suggest.

01:06:21.260 There are some definite

01:06:22.220 benefits to the way

01:06:24.100 of life that these

01:06:25.740 guys are engaged in

01:06:26.860 given that they're

01:06:27.360 living in a massively

01:06:28.560 homogenous community

01:06:30.080 where basically only

01:06:31.400 members of that

01:06:32.340 community that already

01:06:33.240 exists can live there.

01:06:35.040 They have very high

01:06:36.180 trust local community.

01:06:37.960 Loads of children,

01:06:39.200 so they're growing.

01:06:40.140 I believe one of the

01:06:40.860 figures that he puts

01:06:41.740 out in the documentary

01:06:42.780 is that between the

01:06:44.060 years of 2010 and

01:06:45.200 2024, their population

01:06:47.180 doubled purely because

01:06:49.360 of how high the birth

01:06:50.840 rate is there.

01:06:52.360 But the question is,

01:06:54.940 are they able to do

01:06:56.300 this on the taxpayers'

01:06:58.180 dime?

01:06:58.500 Because there are a lot

01:06:59.400 of reports saying that

01:07:01.240 a lot of these people

01:07:02.800 are on welfare, a lot

01:07:05.240 of the programs that

01:07:06.700 they engage in in the

01:07:08.440 town themselves are

01:07:09.700 subsidized by the

01:07:10.600 taxpayer.

01:07:11.500 So he's going around

01:07:12.580 and he's asking the

01:07:13.460 question if they're able

01:07:14.680 to have these homogenous,

01:07:17.280 high trust communities

01:07:18.860 fees paid for by the

01:07:20.220 American taxpayer, why

01:07:22.060 is it that the state

01:07:23.100 will, say, persecute the,

01:07:24.680 I believe it's the

01:07:25.320 return to the land

01:07:26.360 movement, which was an

01:07:27.640 attempt to make a

01:07:29.200 whites-only community

01:07:30.720 in America, which has

01:07:32.400 been massively targeted

01:07:34.440 by the American state?

01:07:36.500 I mean, if you do that,

01:07:37.480 people will realize that,

01:07:38.780 whoa, why is it so nice?

01:07:40.480 Why is this community,

01:07:42.040 this whites-only community,

01:07:43.040 with no diversity, why

01:07:44.600 does everything work and

01:07:45.540 everyone trust each other

01:07:46.500 leave their doors open

01:07:47.860 at night and everything's

01:07:49.100 clean and tidy?

01:07:50.500 Yeah, and the-

01:07:51.120 How did that happen?

01:07:51.880 The thing is, it's not a

01:07:53.680 question of hating other

01:07:56.400 people, wanting to commit

01:07:58.100 violence or wanting hardship

01:07:59.740 to befall other people.

01:08:01.000 It's a question of

01:08:02.320 homogenous communities

01:08:03.620 wanting to stick to

01:08:04.820 themselves for love of

01:08:06.060 themselves and all of the

01:08:07.120 benefits that that brings,

01:08:08.380 which you see in this

01:08:09.460 video.

01:08:09.980 Although there is one

01:08:10.920 major downside to it,

01:08:12.320 which is for some reason,

01:08:13.660 and this is where the

01:08:15.720 ethnography part comes in,

01:08:17.320 right?

01:08:17.540 Because a lot of these

01:08:18.280 people, they don't want to

01:08:19.800 be followed around with

01:08:20.700 cameras, which is fair.

01:08:21.840 They don't want people

01:08:22.740 snooping into their

01:08:23.760 affairs.

01:08:24.580 The problem is, right,

01:08:26.360 you guys are just

01:08:27.060 fascinating.

01:08:28.280 Hasidic Jews in particular

01:08:30.020 are just kind of fascinating.

01:08:33.380 They're interesting guys who

01:08:35.240 walk around in their suits

01:08:36.520 and the big hats and stuff.

01:08:38.100 I remember when I was going

01:08:38.900 around Belgium, I'd never

01:08:40.320 seen people in the full

01:08:42.640 Jewish regalia and I was

01:08:43.780 fascinated by it, like in

01:08:45.040 a genuine interest, just

01:08:46.660 like, wow, this is so

01:08:47.920 different to my way of

01:08:49.160 life.

01:08:49.280 Yeah, growing up near

01:08:50.500 Manchester and visiting

01:08:51.560 there, you see them

01:08:52.360 walking down the street

01:08:53.300 sometimes and they come

01:08:54.280 across as so different and

01:08:55.580 alien that you do get a

01:08:57.300 fascination from it and

01:08:58.300 that's why, you know, like

01:08:59.200 the European spirit has

01:09:00.620 basically been to point

01:09:02.240 over in the distance and

01:09:03.340 go, what dat over there?

01:09:06.300 Harry still says that

01:09:07.440 sometimes.

01:09:08.000 Exactly.

01:09:08.740 And then you go over

01:09:09.740 there and you find out

01:09:10.680 what's over there and

01:09:11.520 then you write it down or

01:09:12.560 in this case, you film

01:09:13.800 the whole thing and

01:09:14.940 then you put it out so

01:09:15.660 that other people can

01:09:16.480 learn what dat over

01:09:17.500 there is.

01:09:19.280 That's kind of, that's

01:09:20.380 the spirit of European

01:09:21.440 exploration right there.

01:09:23.940 But yeah, one of the

01:09:24.640 problems that they do have

01:09:25.600 in the community is that

01:09:26.500 for some reason, loads

01:09:27.560 of them are just like,

01:09:28.280 it might just be because

01:09:28.980 of how dense the

01:09:30.440 population is in such

01:09:31.540 a small town.

01:09:32.920 They're just terrible

01:09:33.560 drivers.

01:09:36.040 They're just terrible

01:09:37.160 drivers.

01:09:37.700 Oh my God.

01:09:39.240 I have $500.

01:09:40.360 Give me $2,000.

01:09:41.760 I don't have $2,000.

01:09:43.480 I would just handle it

01:09:44.760 as any chance.

01:09:45.720 He said, don't you give me

01:09:47.100 $2,000.

01:09:48.360 Worst neighborhood to

01:09:49.420 crush your car ever.

01:09:50.320 This is Curious Joel, a

01:09:52.160 community of exclusively

01:09:53.500 Hasidic Jews that's one

01:09:55.020 of the fastest growing

01:09:55.960 towns in New York with

01:09:57.400 possibly some of the

01:09:58.320 worst drivers in America.

01:09:59.960 Inanimously in favor

01:10:00.960 of what, look at this,

01:10:01.620 there's a car accident

01:10:02.140 every five seconds.

01:10:03.000 The driving out here

01:10:03.700 is horrendous.

01:10:04.460 I've only seen bad

01:10:05.140 drivers though.

01:10:05.900 You know why?

01:10:06.340 Because we have so much.

01:10:07.520 We have like 10

01:10:08.360 children.

01:10:09.180 We're all too busy.

01:10:10.440 That's why we were

01:10:10.940 upset by driving.

01:10:11.800 We're getting nervous.

01:10:12.720 No one can drive out

01:10:14.280 here.

01:10:14.640 What is this?

01:10:15.700 It doesn't make any

01:10:16.360 sense.

01:10:16.640 Should we be even more

01:10:17.660 careful?

01:10:18.260 What?

01:10:18.760 You're a freaking idiot.

01:10:19.700 in the school bus.

01:10:21.100 Oh, what the f**k?

01:10:22.000 What is this driving?

01:10:22.940 You're trying to kill us

01:10:23.660 out here.

01:10:24.120 You were driving

01:10:24.720 to load this people.

01:10:25.640 No, we weren't.

01:10:26.820 You need to learn

01:10:27.620 how to drive.

01:10:28.420 You're going to get

01:10:28.820 your kids killed in here.

01:10:30.020 Oh my god.

01:10:31.120 That's possibly the

01:10:32.280 most American

01:10:33.140 interaction I've ever

01:10:34.460 seen there.

01:10:35.140 People just shouting

01:10:36.140 at each other about

01:10:37.140 their driving from

01:10:38.240 inside their car

01:10:39.260 to a school bus driver.

01:10:41.820 The most American

01:10:42.640 thing that I've ever

01:10:43.560 seen in my life

01:10:44.400 outside of a cowboy

01:10:45.280 in a 10-point hat

01:10:46.120 shooting his guns

01:10:46.780 in the air.

01:10:47.800 But yeah, if you

01:10:48.540 want to watch the full

01:10:49.240 thing, I'd recommend

01:10:49.920 going and watching

01:10:50.580 the video.

01:10:51.440 I've watched it

01:10:52.240 and here's some

01:10:52.640 of the notes

01:10:53.860 that I've taken

01:10:54.700 for just general

01:10:57.020 observations.

01:10:57.980 Now, first of all,

01:10:58.680 obviously,

01:11:00.160 a great thumbnail

01:11:02.360 now.

01:11:02.560 Great thumbnail.

01:11:03.800 Again, obviously,

01:11:05.280 most of the video

01:11:06.280 is him going around

01:11:07.740 trying to figure out

01:11:08.560 what most people

01:11:10.080 actually do in this

01:11:12.160 community because

01:11:13.280 only a very small

01:11:14.700 subset of the

01:11:15.440 population seems to

01:11:16.480 be working.

01:11:17.160 And you can see

01:11:17.620 some rabbis, perhaps?

01:11:19.200 He asks a lot of

01:11:20.120 people if they are

01:11:20.980 rabbis and most of

01:11:21.840 them say no.

01:11:22.420 So here are some of

01:11:22.980 the stats that he's

01:11:23.800 going off to look

01:11:25.500 into this investigation

01:11:26.440 to start all of this

01:11:27.560 off and try and

01:11:28.120 answer these questions.

01:11:29.100 So he says 99% of

01:11:30.720 the village's

01:11:31.220 residents are

01:11:31.840 Hasidic Jews, and

01:11:32.760 that's very specifically

01:11:33.540 Hasidic, who have

01:11:34.880 their own kind of

01:11:36.340 special culture.

01:11:37.580 One of the

01:11:38.100 interesting observations

01:11:38.980 that when he's

01:11:39.880 interviewing people,

01:11:40.940 a lot of them just

01:11:41.800 outright say, despite

01:11:43.180 him being accused of

01:11:44.120 being in Hamas at

01:11:44.940 one point, that they

01:11:46.140 don't support the

01:11:47.000 state of Israel, and

01:11:48.080 that's for religious

01:11:49.020 grounds.

01:11:49.540 I believe the reason

01:11:50.320 given was that they

01:11:51.100 don't believe that

01:11:52.580 Israel will be

01:11:53.600 reconstituted until

01:11:54.920 the Messiah has

01:11:55.840 arrived, and of

01:11:56.800 course, they don't

01:11:57.320 believe that the

01:11:57.900 Messiah has arrived

01:11:58.660 yet.

01:11:58.820 So they see it as

01:11:59.420 an illegitimate

01:12:00.040 state.

01:12:00.820 So that's one of

01:12:01.360 the big differences.

01:12:02.640 They can primarily

01:12:03.640 speak Yiddish.

01:12:05.420 40% of them live

01:12:07.500 below the federal

01:12:08.440 poverty line.

01:12:09.900 40% to 60% of

01:12:11.420 them, and this is

01:12:12.040 based on varying

01:12:12.940 reports, but all of

01:12:14.180 them seem to be

01:12:14.700 quite high, are

01:12:15.800 receiving SNAP

01:12:16.800 assistance.

01:12:17.440 So that's food aid

01:12:18.500 where you go to the

01:12:19.300 supermarket and you

01:12:20.080 buy your food with

01:12:20.820 EBT, electronic bank

01:12:22.840 transfers.

01:12:23.940 Reports estimate an

01:12:24.940 average of seven

01:12:25.840 children per women,

01:12:27.100 some of the highest

01:12:27.740 fertility rates in the

01:12:28.800 developed world, and

01:12:29.800 you saw from some of

01:12:30.400 the interviews he was

01:12:31.840 doing there, it's even

01:12:32.520 higher than that.

01:12:33.480 The median age, because

01:12:34.660 there's so many

01:12:35.220 children, is 13 years

01:12:37.260 old.

01:12:38.040 Almost all of the

01:12:38.980 children attend private

01:12:40.300 religious schools, which

01:12:41.680 are yeshivas.

01:12:42.760 The per capita income

01:12:44.060 is $13,000 per year,

01:12:46.300 extremely low, especially

01:12:47.660 when you consider that

01:12:48.520 it's in New York

01:12:49.400 state.

01:12:50.000 That's not even like a

01:12:51.620 developed country's

01:12:53.200 average income, is it?

01:12:55.100 It's not even close to

01:12:56.020 the average American

01:12:56.720 one.

01:12:57.240 Yeah, it's ridiculously

01:12:58.720 low.

01:12:59.840 And as a household, if

01:13:01.100 you've only got one or

01:13:01.760 two people working within

01:13:02.780 a household, that's

01:13:03.520 going to be nothing.

01:13:04.880 That's going to be

01:13:05.280 pennies.

01:13:06.160 Especially when you've

01:13:06.940 got 10 or 15 children to

01:13:08.280 look after as well.

01:13:09.380 They're voting as a full

01:13:10.380 block, and it's one of

01:13:11.540 the fastest growing cities

01:13:12.820 in New York, and he says

01:13:15.300 as a result, they've got

01:13:16.180 extremely high reliance

01:13:17.160 on state-funded social

01:13:18.180 services like Medicaid,

01:13:19.900 housing vouchers, food

01:13:21.000 stamps, cash benefits,

01:13:22.260 and substantial federal

01:13:23.500 aid, especially through

01:13:24.400 its school district,

01:13:25.660 because many of the men

01:13:26.580 focus on religious study,

01:13:27.980 which limits income.

01:13:29.580 And when you watch the

01:13:30.340 video and see him going

01:13:31.240 around, you see most of

01:13:32.120 it is just him walking

01:13:33.400 through the streets and

01:13:34.220 asking people, hey, what

01:13:36.100 do you do for a job?

01:13:37.100 Now, understandably, that

01:13:39.800 is his opening question.

01:13:41.080 So a lot of these people

01:13:42.120 are kind of taken off

01:13:43.100 guard.

01:13:43.840 A lot of these people are

01:13:44.840 a bit standoffish, because

01:13:46.160 if you've got a guy

01:13:47.020 walking around with a

01:13:47.900 cameraman and a microphone

01:13:49.120 just like, you walk

01:13:50.680 in, hey, what do you do

01:13:51.960 for a job and how much

01:13:52.780 do you make per year?

01:13:54.240 In the middle of the

01:13:55.160 street, you're not

01:13:55.780 always going to be so

01:13:56.860 inclined to answer those

01:13:59.040 questions, but he does

01:14:00.380 actually get a few

01:14:01.300 responses from quite a few

01:14:02.500 people that he shows in

01:14:03.600 the video, people who

01:14:04.760 don't want to answer,

01:14:05.640 they just walk past him,

01:14:06.900 he doesn't, you know,

01:14:07.660 harass them or anything.

01:14:09.400 And he can't really get a

01:14:11.260 straight answer from any

01:14:12.740 one individual.

01:14:14.180 Most of the men seem to

01:14:15.620 dedicate their daytimes to

01:14:17.200 studying and reading the

01:14:18.420 Torah, and there are some

01:14:20.100 business owners, but

01:14:21.340 everyone gives kind of a

01:14:23.180 different answer.

01:14:24.060 Now, that might just be

01:14:24.900 because no one off the top

01:14:26.800 of their head knows

01:14:27.480 exactly, you know, if I

01:14:29.500 was to go into the street

01:14:30.220 and ask everybody,

01:14:31.020 what does everybody in

01:14:32.200 this town do?

01:14:32.840 Not everybody's going to

01:14:33.560 give the same answer.

01:14:34.580 But with a really close-knit

01:14:35.760 community like this, you

01:14:37.480 would expect a little bit

01:14:38.480 more certainty and

01:14:40.340 commonality between the

01:14:41.860 answers.

01:14:42.300 most of the women seem to

01:14:44.660 work as well as raise

01:14:46.180 kids, but also there's a

01:14:48.600 question of what jobs

01:14:49.520 they're doing.

01:14:50.480 He tries to interview a

01:14:51.800 business owner at one

01:14:52.760 point who owns a jewellery

01:14:54.740 shop and gets threatened

01:14:56.020 with a lawsuit for just

01:14:58.160 being near it.

01:14:59.400 A bit of an escalation.

01:15:00.700 That's a stereotype and a

01:15:02.620 half, isn't it?

01:15:03.140 Somehow, the town is

01:15:04.940 spending and receiving

01:15:06.180 $94 million in relief

01:15:08.620 fund, but there seems to

01:15:09.780 be questions over what

01:15:11.680 they're spending it on,

01:15:12.640 how they're making the

01:15:13.360 claim for deserving that

01:15:14.640 relief fund.

01:15:15.420 He doesn't really get a

01:15:16.080 straight answer.

01:15:17.080 Relief fund is?

01:15:19.060 A kind of federal fund,

01:15:20.780 I would assume for people

01:15:21.980 with majorly low incomes.

01:15:23.380 Oh, right, okay.

01:15:23.960 The local private schools

01:15:26.340 are receiving a lot of

01:15:27.740 public money through

01:15:28.720 public funding and that's

01:15:29.960 for the sake of private

01:15:31.320 school busing and other

01:15:33.260 kind of benefits that you

01:15:34.460 get from it.

01:15:35.680 And the claims from some

01:15:37.620 of the interviewees are

01:15:38.660 that the local business

01:15:39.580 owners that do exist are

01:15:41.220 paying enough through their

01:15:42.400 taxes and property taxes

01:15:43.680 to cover everything that

01:15:45.340 the community takes back.

01:15:46.540 So they're saying it's

01:15:47.080 basically a self-reliant

01:15:48.400 system where all of the

01:15:49.740 money they're taking from

01:15:50.440 the federal and state

01:15:51.260 governments is being paid

01:15:52.760 back.

01:15:53.120 Again, there's some

01:15:54.300 major uncertainty with

01:15:55.900 this and the local

01:15:57.300 people and the families

01:15:58.160 do seem to be very

01:15:59.540 dependent on EBT, the

01:16:01.640 SNAP benefits to buy

01:16:03.780 their food.

01:16:05.320 And again, there's bad

01:16:06.540 super drivers everywhere.

01:16:08.120 The kosher supermarkets

01:16:09.140 and construction are

01:16:10.240 almost entirely staffed

01:16:11.660 by Mexicans.

01:16:15.100 Weird partnership,

01:16:16.580 isn't it?

01:16:16.880 None of whom live there,

01:16:18.180 they just go in there to

01:16:19.580 work, right?

01:16:20.720 Ah, almost like space.

01:16:21.560 But here's where some

01:16:22.760 of the positives come

01:16:23.680 through and some of the

01:16:24.560 benefits of living in this

01:16:26.040 kind of homogenous

01:16:26.760 neighbourhood are,

01:16:28.880 despite the fact that

01:16:30.100 40% of them are living

01:16:31.440 below the federal poverty

01:16:32.760 line, there's basically

01:16:34.320 no violent crime or

01:16:35.600 drug crime or gang

01:16:36.880 activity there, which

01:16:38.640 immediately destroys the

01:16:39.880 whole progressive

01:16:40.480 narrative that poverty

01:16:41.520 causes crime, right?

01:16:43.160 Maybe it's certain

01:16:44.200 communities commit

01:16:45.220 certain kind of crimes,

01:16:46.460 no matter what kind of

01:16:47.480 wealth income they have,

01:16:48.480 and wealth income only

01:16:50.220 kind of causes the

01:16:51.220 changes the severity of

01:16:53.140 it.

01:16:53.580 These guys are a complete

01:16:54.840 disproval of that because

01:16:56.000 if they have 40% below the

01:16:57.920 poverty line, you would

01:16:59.240 expect, given the

01:17:00.120 progressive logic, there to

01:17:01.100 be huge levels of violent

01:17:03.380 and drug crime there.

01:17:04.260 Maybe it all emerges in the

01:17:05.760 traffic collisions.

01:17:07.340 Maybe that's where they get

01:17:08.260 it all out.

01:17:08.960 Yeah, maybe that's what it

01:17:09.880 is.

01:17:10.460 There's really great benefits

01:17:11.720 like the local public safety

01:17:13.220 force alongside the police.

01:17:14.760 It is funded by the

01:17:16.280 taxpayer, but it is also a

01:17:18.600 great service for those

01:17:19.780 locals.

01:17:20.400 They have very communal

01:17:21.720 living.

01:17:22.520 They help each other out.

01:17:24.020 The local volunteer fire

01:17:25.460 department has a 90 second

01:17:27.960 response time.

01:17:29.700 That's very good.

01:17:30.440 Yeah.

01:17:30.880 They also have a free

01:17:32.520 volunteer car service that

01:17:34.360 responds to anybody breaking

01:17:36.140 down in the town, and it's

01:17:38.200 presented all...

01:17:40.300 They need it.

01:17:41.660 But also, it's the case of,

01:17:43.560 say, for instance, if you get

01:17:44.540 a flat tire, if you get a

01:17:45.880 flat tire, you don't have a

01:17:46.920 spare, you can call that

01:17:48.380 number, and this applies to

01:17:50.000 Jews and non-Jews in the

01:17:51.820 town, they will just come

01:17:54.320 out and they'll give you a

01:17:56.420 spare tire and fit it for

01:17:57.360 you.

01:17:58.420 So there are all of these

01:17:59.360 benefits that come from

01:18:00.420 living in a homogenous town.

01:18:01.720 So Tyler's big question is,

01:18:03.380 okay, why can't white people

01:18:05.280 do this?

01:18:06.040 And for a few of these

01:18:07.060 people that he gets talking

01:18:09.040 with, he does actually ask

01:18:10.980 this question.

01:18:12.040 He says, well, there's this

01:18:14.180 return to the land kind of

01:18:15.500 thing going on in a

01:18:16.640 different state.

01:18:17.600 I think it's Arkansas,

01:18:18.720 perhaps, or Oregon.

01:18:21.200 So what do you feel about

01:18:23.180 that?

01:18:23.460 You've got all of these

01:18:24.220 great benefits from being

01:18:25.240 able to live in this

01:18:25.940 community.

01:18:26.420 Would you support white

01:18:27.360 people being able to do

01:18:28.600 the same thing legally,

01:18:30.020 possibly even supported by

01:18:31.200 the federal government?

01:18:32.940 He does not get positive

01:18:34.160 responses.

01:18:35.280 I'm not surprised.

01:18:36.000 He does not get positive

01:18:36.900 responses from these guys,

01:18:38.260 and the one who talks to him

01:18:39.960 a little bit about it is

01:18:40.680 like, I don't know about

01:18:42.640 that.

01:18:42.820 Ask me on a different day.

01:18:43.860 I've got a lot of opinions

01:18:44.820 on that.

01:18:45.280 When you would think,

01:18:46.040 given the kind of benefits

01:18:46.900 that they can observe from

01:18:47.860 their own community, it'd just

01:18:48.800 be like, yeah, of course.

01:18:49.900 Why not?

01:18:50.500 They hate white people.

01:18:52.000 Some of them do.

01:18:53.280 Some of them have complex

01:18:54.360 feelings.

01:18:55.700 I'm not going to tire them

01:18:56.520 all with one big brush.

01:18:58.800 But, of course, through this

01:19:00.780 investigation and all of the

01:19:02.200 questions that it has left

01:19:03.660 and drawing attention to this

01:19:05.480 community existing in the

01:19:07.040 very first place, like the

01:19:08.620 Indians with the poo

01:19:09.560 throwing festival, a lot of

01:19:11.660 people are annoyed at him

01:19:12.840 for having conducted.

01:19:14.460 Is he getting called

01:19:15.820 anti-semitic?

01:19:16.600 Yes.

01:19:17.340 Oh!

01:19:17.860 Of course he is.

01:19:18.600 Of course he is.

01:19:19.420 Even though, actually, I

01:19:20.260 would say that he kind of

01:19:21.160 goes down the line with the

01:19:22.620 investigation, and there are

01:19:24.240 a lot of open threads left

01:19:26.200 unanswered, but, I mean, he

01:19:27.760 couldn't get straight answers

01:19:28.640 from a lot of these people, so

01:19:29.780 you're not going to have

01:19:30.560 definitive answers for it.

01:19:32.460 But, overall, you know, the

01:19:35.180 people living there, they

01:19:36.260 don't look like bad people.

01:19:37.520 They might be engaged in a

01:19:39.000 huge amount of federal tax

01:19:40.620 fraud, or benefits fraud, but

01:19:42.900 you know, they're not

01:19:43.400 violent, they're not going

01:19:44.240 out and committing drug

01:19:45.160 crimes, they're mainly just

01:19:46.200 like, doing their weird

01:19:47.920 things in their little weird

01:19:49.480 enclave community, which is

01:19:51.320 one of those interesting

01:19:52.200 things that I find, that I

01:19:54.200 find interesting.

01:19:54.980 But this guy, for instance,

01:19:56.400 says,

01:19:56.660 The Tyler guy tried to pull

01:19:57.660 a Nick Shirley on the

01:19:58.520 lowest-hanging fruit.

01:19:59.660 Da Jews!

01:20:00.480 His low IQ and barely

01:20:01.820 contained hatred just bled

01:20:02.940 through the whole thing.

01:20:04.020 He thought was a gotcha

01:20:04.800 turned out to be cringe

01:20:05.700 anti-semitism slop.

01:20:06.940 Bro should just learn to

01:20:08.360 be a dentist or a welder

01:20:09.380 because he sucks at the

01:20:10.160 whole YouTube independent

01:20:11.240 journalist thing.

01:20:11.900 Actually, I think it's, he's

01:20:13.620 doing a great job.

01:20:14.520 I mean, he's making more

01:20:15.380 money than you, probably,

01:20:16.480 to be fair, with those

01:20:17.300 views.

01:20:17.820 Yeah, Tyler, well, I mean,

01:20:19.420 if this guy lives anywhere

01:20:20.540 near that community, he has

01:20:21.680 to be making more money

01:20:22.540 than it.

01:20:23.380 Yeah.

01:20:23.740 Yeah.

01:20:24.940 Yeah, that's true.

01:20:25.720 Good response here.

01:20:26.700 His response is just pay for

01:20:27.900 your own shit.

01:20:29.000 If a guy can fall to a

01:20:29.960 field you feed your family

01:20:31.100 of ten without being

01:20:31.980 welfare queens, then I

01:20:33.200 wouldn't have visited.

01:20:33.980 Because that is the

01:20:36.100 question here.

01:20:37.620 Because I would say the

01:20:38.480 low-hanging fruit are all

01:20:41.320 of the other groups that

01:20:42.420 we've looked at so far

01:20:43.680 engaged in this kind of

01:20:45.520 behavior.

01:20:46.360 It's only very recently

01:20:47.660 that these kind of

01:20:48.660 barriers have lifted a

01:20:50.140 little bit through great

01:20:51.400 effort to be able to look

01:20:53.140 into groups like Hasidics

01:20:54.900 fairly and objectively as a

01:20:56.640 distinct group who don't

01:20:58.300 have this, like, shroud of

01:20:59.940 hysteria around just

01:21:01.600 looking into what kind of

01:21:03.220 behaviors they're all

01:21:04.040 engaging in.

01:21:05.040 Because it's not like he's

01:21:06.060 got some chip on his

01:21:07.000 shoulder and he's targeting

01:21:07.880 them specifically because

01:21:09.040 he's went to India to do an

01:21:11.020 investigation, he looked at

01:21:11.960 the Somali daycare fraud,

01:21:14.040 and of course they're

01:21:14.640 different groups of people,

01:21:16.420 but it's not like he's got

01:21:17.640 some sort of obsession as

01:21:18.880 it's being implied here.

01:21:20.800 No, and I think the fair

01:21:21.700 thing is if it's affecting

01:21:22.840 American taxpayers, if you

01:21:24.720 as an American taxpayer,

01:21:26.300 especially if you're a white

01:21:27.180 American taxpayer, meaning

01:21:28.320 that you have the vast

01:21:29.280 majority of the tax burden

01:21:30.880 on your back, if you know

01:21:32.800 that your taxes are going

01:21:33.920 to subsidize a community

01:21:36.120 of, like, an ethnic

01:21:39.440 religious enclave so that

01:21:41.260 they can just engage in

01:21:42.420 religious study all day and

01:21:44.120 raise ten children when you

01:21:46.080 can't even afford to barely

01:21:47.320 meet your rent and you can

01:21:48.400 never afford to own a house

01:21:49.640 and then also you don't

01:21:51.060 actually get to have

01:21:52.020 children because of those

01:21:53.160 factors, I think it's fair to

01:21:55.080 draw attention to this and

01:21:56.700 just marking these guys out

01:21:58.420 and saying, no, no, you're

01:21:59.240 not allowed to talk about

01:22:00.260 these people, that's not

01:22:01.820 fair.

01:22:02.320 I wouldn't even say that

01:22:03.180 it's low-hanging fruit.

01:22:04.500 I would say it's still very

01:22:06.160 dangerous to talk about

01:22:07.360 this kind of subject in the

01:22:08.980 way that Tyler has.

01:22:10.820 And some people have tried

01:22:12.380 to cover for it by saying

01:22:14.440 that, well, these people are

01:22:15.520 sending their kids to

01:22:16.520 private schools and this was

01:22:18.200 something said in the

01:22:19.020 video as well, so they're

01:22:20.920 actually saving the

01:22:21.840 government money for

01:22:23.120 the payments that they're

01:22:24.560 going to there.

01:22:25.620 In one way, yeah.

01:22:26.360 In one way, but also they

01:22:28.400 are still taking out a lot

01:22:29.680 of money.

01:22:30.280 We don't know exactly how

01:22:31.980 much money that they're

01:22:32.900 taking out in a lot of

01:22:34.260 these benefits and we

01:22:35.480 don't know how much money

01:22:36.360 is going towards these

01:22:37.560 private school benefits as

01:22:39.000 well, like the private

01:22:39.860 bus, school bus stuff.

01:22:41.580 What, what, did Grok

01:22:42.680 answer that question?

01:22:44.060 Well, it was a bit, there

01:22:46.040 was a bit more engagement

01:22:47.580 down here.

01:22:49.360 So, for instance, some

01:22:50.700 people were asking, well,

01:22:51.680 how are they paying for

01:22:52.400 these private schools in the

01:22:53.360 first place when they're all

01:22:54.200 so poor?

01:22:54.680 And then it goes to the

01:22:56.400 scholarships funded by

01:22:57.340 donations from wealthier

01:22:58.600 members of the community,

01:22:59.860 community fundraisers and

01:23:01.060 government aid-like

01:23:01.720 vouchers.

01:23:02.320 Again, though, this is

01:23:03.080 interesting because it's all

01:23:04.040 that kind of thing that if

01:23:05.100 we were able to have our

01:23:06.340 own homogenous communities

01:23:08.400 to ourselves where we were

01:23:09.840 encouraged to behave in a

01:23:11.160 more communal thinking

01:23:12.160 way and the wealthier

01:23:13.560 members didn't think only

01:23:15.060 for themselves but thought

01:23:15.980 for the lower people in the

01:23:16.940 community as well, like

01:23:18.900 these are all good things.

01:23:20.500 If the wealthier members of

01:23:21.520 your community are going to

01:23:22.360 go, you know, I'm going to

01:23:23.000 try and make sure that your

01:23:24.440 kids, using my wealth, have

01:23:26.500 the best opportunities and

01:23:27.680 the best life, that's a

01:23:28.940 very positive thing.

01:23:30.120 Well, that's how England

01:23:31.560 used to be.

01:23:32.460 So, pre-welfare state, it

01:23:34.920 was predominantly funded by

01:23:36.340 just charitable nature.

01:23:38.220 Yeah.

01:23:38.500 Like, people just used to be

01:23:40.540 charitable, generally

01:23:41.540 speaking.

01:23:41.820 We're still the country to

01:23:43.160 this day that donates the

01:23:44.680 largest percentage of our

01:23:46.380 income to charity.

01:23:48.140 So, that impulse still hasn't...

01:23:49.200 It still?

01:23:49.360 Oh, wow.

01:23:50.160 That's surprising.

01:23:50.900 That impulse hasn't

01:23:51.640 disappeared, even with the

01:23:53.780 overwhelming tax burden.

01:23:55.900 Yeah, so...

01:23:56.480 It's amazing...

01:23:57.080 Sorry, it's amazing that

01:23:58.180 people that are effectively

01:24:00.380 just leeches and parasites

01:24:01.980 off of the taxpayer don't

01:24:04.120 realise that, you know, a

01:24:06.920 sense of gratitude would go a

01:24:08.340 long way because, well, I

01:24:11.480 mean, mass resentment will

01:24:13.500 quickly build up when people

01:24:14.620 realise they're being taken

01:24:15.760 for a ride and it's just

01:24:16.860 absurd.

01:24:17.360 But, yeah, I mean, even

01:24:18.800 with all of that, you've

01:24:19.900 still got government aid

01:24:20.740 like vouchers, meal

01:24:21.580 programmes, transportation

01:24:22.600 subsidies, which is

01:24:24.020 estimated here.

01:24:25.020 Again, these are all grok

01:24:25.920 estimates, so take them

01:24:27.000 with a pinch of salt.

01:24:27.880 Just in New York.

01:24:28.480 A billion dollars per year

01:24:30.260 in New York.

01:24:31.700 And then there's the

01:24:32.460 question...

01:24:32.900 And then it goes on to

01:24:33.700 answer questions.

01:24:34.140 I think all of this stuff

01:24:35.300 is kind of not conclusive,

01:24:38.940 inconclusive.

01:24:39.860 But, I mean, if you're

01:24:40.860 going to go with the

01:24:41.440 argument of, well, I

01:24:42.820 mean, they put in more

01:24:43.880 benefits in tax than they

01:24:46.120 take out.

01:24:46.620 Well, I mean, again, the

01:24:48.160 massive tax burden in the

01:24:49.480 United States is on the

01:24:50.520 backs of white people,

01:24:52.320 right?

01:24:52.860 So how is that not also

01:24:54.240 just an argument that

01:24:55.720 white people taking

01:24:57.540 advantage of the benefit

01:24:58.640 systems are also

01:24:59.900 justified because they're

01:25:01.640 putting in more overall

01:25:03.160 than they're taking out?

01:25:05.160 See how this logic

01:25:06.340 extends outward.

01:25:07.720 Allowed to look at them

01:25:08.420 as their own distinct

01:25:09.600 group, aren't they?

01:25:10.120 Yeah, it only tends to

01:25:11.040 get applied one way.

01:25:12.760 Tyler has his own answer

01:25:13.880 for this, talking about

01:25:15.960 how there's, you know,

01:25:16.660 tens of thousands of

01:25:17.900 gender-segregated bus

01:25:20.000 transportation to their

01:25:21.380 private yeshivas, and

01:25:22.480 all of this tends to be

01:25:23.500 subsidized as well.

01:25:25.060 And he's basically just

01:25:26.040 saying that you shouldn't

01:25:28.420 get a free ride on the

01:25:29.500 taxpayer's dime, is

01:25:31.260 essentially what he's

01:25:32.140 saying.

01:25:32.600 Completely fair point.

01:25:33.560 He does say that, you

01:25:35.300 know, the Amish who are a

01:25:37.040 comparable group here are

01:25:39.220 not on welfare because

01:25:40.500 their religious values are

01:25:41.660 to rely on themselves and

01:25:42.920 they also don't believe in

01:25:43.700 technology.

01:25:44.560 I don't know exactly how

01:25:46.120 accurate that is because I

01:25:47.840 did decide to try and

01:25:48.820 fact-check it and look into

01:25:49.920 it and see if the Amish do

01:25:51.600 actually, in a lot of

01:25:52.960 cases, qualify for these

01:25:55.020 benefits, but there's a

01:25:56.840 population of roughly

01:25:58.080 350,000 in America and of

01:26:02.200 that there was some

01:26:02.920 statistics here that I

01:26:04.000 found that suggested that

01:26:05.800 something like, what's

01:26:08.560 this, I think overall it's

01:26:09.960 like 5,400 roughly, how

01:26:13.440 Amish households in

01:26:15.200 America are receiving

01:26:16.520 SNAP benefits.

01:26:17.600 Very small.

01:26:18.600 So that's still very, very

01:26:20.240 small percentage of the

01:26:21.320 population of the Amish in

01:26:22.660 general, but still, just

01:26:24.140 wanted to be absolutely

01:26:25.140 clear with that.

01:26:27.180 But of course, then you get

01:26:28.080 the targeting.

01:26:29.000 Then you get the

01:26:29.640 targeting.

01:26:30.820 So he's joking.

01:26:32.200 He put this out.

01:26:33.600 There was a Twitter

01:26:35.040 account called Hasidic

01:26:36.480 that put this out where

01:26:37.660 they're saying that they

01:26:38.440 just need to completely

01:26:39.500 ignore him.

01:26:40.220 They're organizing as a

01:26:41.520 larger block in their

01:26:42.860 community saying just

01:26:43.760 ignore him.

01:26:44.480 If he goes around, if you

01:26:45.420 see a person with a

01:26:46.100 camera or a microphone,

01:26:46.960 don't say a word.

01:26:47.600 He's just trying to make

01:26:48.680 fun of us and joke about

01:26:49.760 us.

01:26:50.300 Again, I think there is

01:26:51.060 actually some taxpayer

01:26:52.940 community investigation going

01:26:55.880 on right here if there's a

01:26:57.100 risk that you're all

01:26:57.840 taking advantage of the

01:26:59.540 taxpayer system.

01:27:00.900 He's a so-called

01:27:01.720 YouTuber.

01:27:02.200 Did you read that?

01:27:03.300 Yeah.

01:27:03.780 So-called YouTuber.

01:27:05.600 They're planning on if they

01:27:07.000 see him again, trying to

01:27:08.500 find him and play

01:27:09.540 copyrighted music as

01:27:10.980 loudly as possible

01:27:11.920 wherever he's filming so

01:27:13.220 that he can't use the

01:27:14.200 footage.

01:27:14.780 Quite a petty response,

01:27:16.020 isn't it?

01:27:17.160 We hate you.

01:27:18.360 Here's some Lady Gaga.

01:27:19.960 I mean, that would

01:27:20.820 torture me.

01:27:22.060 Again, one of the bigger

01:27:23.440 questions is that he's

01:27:24.540 willing to step on this

01:27:25.600 landmine and go where

01:27:27.820 these other people aren't

01:27:29.540 because he's saying that,

01:27:30.320 you know, there are all of

01:27:31.000 these people who criticize

01:27:32.020 welfare abuse, fraud, or

01:27:34.360 theocratic ethnic

01:27:35.700 enclaves who refuse to

01:27:38.100 touch this particular

01:27:39.060 subject.

01:27:40.220 And from a self-preservation

01:27:41.620 perspective, it's

01:27:43.320 completely understandable.

01:27:44.820 But if you're going to be

01:27:45.720 completely engaged with

01:27:49.300 your principles, if you're

01:27:50.340 going to apply them all

01:27:51.020 fairly and you're going to

01:27:51.820 say no protected groups,

01:27:53.020 then you can't turn a

01:27:54.320 blind eye to this.

01:27:55.800 And again, as well, it

01:27:57.680 goes to show that there

01:27:58.680 are lots of benefits that

01:28:00.220 come with this kind of

01:28:01.060 community-based,

01:28:02.600 homogenous living that

01:28:04.660 these guys are allowed to

01:28:05.840 engage in.

01:28:06.740 But all of a sudden, when

01:28:07.660 it comes to other

01:28:08.680 populations in the US, the

01:28:10.380 founding stock, the white

01:28:12.340 members of the US

01:28:14.060 citizenship, all of a

01:28:15.640 sudden, this kind of thing

01:28:17.340 is completely off of the

01:28:18.840 table.

01:28:19.520 These double standards are

01:28:21.320 not good for us,

01:28:22.300 especially when we see

01:28:23.300 the benefits, we see the

01:28:24.740 low crime rates, we see

01:28:26.180 how the people commune

01:28:27.700 together, we see how they

01:28:28.680 live together, and how it

01:28:29.720 benefits all of them.

01:28:31.140 Why can we not have that

01:28:32.720 ourselves?

01:28:34.220 And with that, let's go

01:28:36.060 into the video comments

01:28:37.520 and the rumble rants.

01:28:40.680 Do we have any video

01:28:41.820 comments?

01:28:42.140 Okay.

01:28:42.960 So, Tom Ratt, George

01:28:44.320 Floyd Ferris, Atlas

01:28:45.560 Shrugged quote, that is why

01:28:46.700 they are doing this.

01:28:48.240 Oh, Google Floyd Ferris,

01:28:49.820 Atlas Shrugged quote.

01:28:50.980 I don't know that one, but

01:28:52.180 I'll take a look at it.

01:28:52.940 Busted Brian, you all

01:28:54.380 should react to Lee

01:28:55.400 Fitz, Amelia, the last

01:28:56.740 rose of Albion over on

01:28:57.980 X if you haven't yet.

01:28:59.400 Not hard to find, it's

01:29:00.460 only one minute long.

01:29:02.400 That's a random name,

01:29:04.220 has sent a few in.

01:29:05.840 Alexa, play Kirby

01:29:06.940 Air Ride item bounce

01:29:08.420 music.

01:29:10.000 Studying the tour is just

01:29:11.140 code for playing

01:29:11.820 Minecraft IRL.

01:29:13.860 Oh, God.

01:29:14.380 Reaffirms my belief that

01:29:17.960 welfare is a scam that

01:29:19.120 enables the worst possible

01:29:20.780 behaviours.

01:29:21.760 Yes.

01:29:21.980 Absolutely, that is a part

01:29:23.200 of it.

01:29:24.300 Came late to the show,

01:29:25.440 says Ryan Hennigan.

01:29:26.580 Just wanted to wish

01:29:27.360 myself and Jeffrey Epstein

01:29:28.840 a happy birthday.

01:29:30.320 Happy birthday.

01:29:31.200 Happy birthday to you.

01:29:32.360 Both of you.

01:29:32.720 No, to you, not to Epstein.

01:29:34.800 Although I understand how

01:29:35.780 hard it is to have a shared

01:29:36.800 birthday with the worst

01:29:37.780 people ever.

01:29:38.760 Mine is shared with

01:29:39.480 Hassan Piker.

01:29:40.760 Ooh.

01:29:41.980 Yep.

01:29:42.880 Let's go with the video

01:29:43.800 comments.

01:29:44.880 You know, I really want

01:29:45.620 to shag my toaster.

01:29:47.080 Just really want to shag

01:29:48.240 my toaster.

01:29:49.180 What?

01:29:50.080 And you're thinking

01:29:51.120 about it, you just can't

01:29:51.640 get it out of your head.

01:29:52.900 Well, in real life...

01:29:55.220 Oh, the eyebrows.

01:29:58.960 Oh, the eyebrows.

01:30:06.140 Yeah, Carl, you're such

01:30:07.560 a pervert here, man.

01:30:10.240 So, I've seen some glib

01:30:13.340 remarks made in the past

01:30:14.700 where the idea that it

01:30:16.060 would be better if the

01:30:16.860 Russians won a war over

01:30:17.900 NATO because, you know,

01:30:18.900 they knock all of our

01:30:20.200 woke governments out of

01:30:21.260 power.

01:30:21.780 But the problem is that

01:30:23.040 the Russians basically

01:30:24.180 would be just as

01:30:24.900 incentivized to put the

01:30:26.040 immigrant populations in

01:30:27.780 charge over the natives

01:30:28.840 as the other way around.

01:30:30.460 Because let's be honest,

01:30:31.660 the immigrants, all they

01:30:32.600 really need to satiate

01:30:34.360 their wants is basically

01:30:35.460 give them power over the

01:30:36.540 native population.

01:30:37.720 They'll do anything the

01:30:38.440 Russians ask them.

01:30:39.180 It's also worth

01:30:40.900 pointing out that Russia

01:30:41.900 is the most diverse

01:30:42.960 European country.

01:30:44.620 And most, it's Asian.

01:30:46.140 Yeah, they've got the

01:30:47.140 highest percentage of

01:30:48.200 their population being

01:30:49.180 Islamic as well.

01:30:50.420 So, they've got experience

01:30:52.340 with this sort of thing.

01:30:54.080 I've been asked to

01:30:55.300 mention that for

01:30:56.600 everybody watching right

01:30:57.620 now, US islander orders

01:30:59.340 are being dispatched this

01:31:00.820 week.

01:31:01.460 And we do apologize for

01:31:02.820 any delay that you may

01:31:03.720 have experienced in

01:31:04.720 receiving those.

01:31:05.720 and I'll read some of

01:31:07.640 the top comments here.

01:31:09.120 Jan Javi,

01:31:09.720 good morning lads,

01:31:10.520 good morning to you.

01:31:11.200 Just bought my islander

01:31:12.200 copy so I'll have a

01:31:12.900 whole collection,

01:31:14.060 except I have a lot of

01:31:15.360 reading to catch up on

01:31:16.320 now, but the new one

01:31:17.360 looks great.

01:31:17.880 Yeah, it's my favourite

01:31:19.060 design that we've had so

01:31:20.120 far.

01:31:20.880 Then Scotty of Swindon

01:31:21.740 as well, there is so much

01:31:22.620 sexual tension between

01:31:23.720 Harry and Josh that if

01:31:24.680 somebody wrote a novel

01:31:25.600 about their secret romance,

01:31:27.320 it would be a new number

01:31:28.360 one bestseller amongst

01:31:29.620 women.

01:31:30.500 In unrelated news,

01:31:31.640 subscribe to

01:31:32.220 Wordsmith Productions

01:31:33.260 on Patreon.

01:31:34.340 We write stories,

01:31:35.280 no gay romances,

01:31:36.440 but we've got to have

01:31:37.320 something else succeed,

01:31:38.740 guys.

01:31:40.540 Please don't send me a

01:31:41.500 copy once you're done.

01:31:43.000 Let's go through the

01:31:43.760 comments, eh?

01:31:45.020 Sure.

01:31:45.720 So Fane Scotty again

01:31:46.880 says they're harassing

01:31:48.400 him because he's wearing

01:31:49.180 a symbol of something

01:31:49.880 they disagree with,

01:31:51.120 the American flag.

01:31:52.660 The people are angry

01:31:53.460 and fighting against

01:31:54.260 the American flag.

01:31:55.180 Always remember that.

01:31:57.760 So Baron Von Warhook

01:31:59.100 says these people are

01:32:00.180 just like the Red Guard

01:32:01.200 during Mao's Cultural

01:32:02.040 Revolution.

01:32:02.500 They are moral busybodies

01:32:03.640 that are willing to

01:32:04.480 tear people limb from

01:32:05.300 limb if they think

01:32:05.960 they're attacking someone

01:32:06.800 against their dear leader.

01:32:08.200 Harry, you've read

01:32:09.060 Frank DeCotta's book

01:32:10.600 about the Cultural

01:32:11.620 Revolution.

01:32:12.320 These people will not

01:32:13.100 hesitate to recreate

01:32:14.100 the atrocities of

01:32:15.360 Maoist China if they

01:32:16.280 have the chance.

01:32:17.300 That is very true.

01:32:19.820 One more.

01:32:20.180 I would argue America's

01:32:21.380 already been through a

01:32:22.300 similar 1960s cultural

01:32:23.920 revolution tearing down

01:32:25.180 the past and all of the

01:32:26.100 past idols.

01:32:27.160 It was just done in a,

01:32:29.000 can I even say it was

01:32:30.040 done in a less overtly

01:32:31.440 violent way when like

01:32:32.840 every year in the

01:32:34.120 American 1960s was like

01:32:36.440 had a summer of riots

01:32:37.800 in all of the major

01:32:38.600 cities.

01:32:39.840 It wasn't necessarily

01:32:41.100 an explicit genocide.

01:32:43.580 Yes.

01:32:44.580 Also we're looking at it

01:32:46.040 from inside and all of

01:32:48.140 the propaganda that

01:32:49.020 comes from being within

01:32:50.040 a propagandized system

01:32:51.400 whereas with China we can

01:32:52.740 take a more outsider

01:32:53.720 perspective on it.

01:32:54.800 Final one for my segment,

01:32:56.120 Ed Miliband harnessing

01:32:57.260 Enoch's spinning grave

01:32:58.300 says,

01:32:58.660 protest the church

01:32:59.720 radicalize the

01:33:00.500 moderates.

01:33:01.420 Which is a good

01:33:02.180 reference there.

01:33:03.260 Yes.

01:33:03.700 Do you want to read

01:33:04.140 some of yours?

01:33:05.020 Yeah.

01:33:05.580 Annie Moss says,

01:33:06.300 Democrats in the US

01:33:07.220 and Union Party in the

01:33:08.680 UK want the same thing.

01:33:10.400 No penalties for

01:33:11.200 criminals.

01:33:11.840 They want society to

01:33:12.840 decay to a point where

01:33:14.420 people will let them do

01:33:15.920 anything to fix it.

01:33:17.220 Yeah.

01:33:17.720 Create a problem and

01:33:18.940 then sell the solution.

01:33:21.200 And the solution is

01:33:22.100 always dystopian

01:33:23.520 nightmare.

01:33:23.920 Michael Drabelbis

01:33:28.420 said,

01:33:29.160 what I've often found

01:33:29.860 amusing is that the

01:33:30.660 English government

01:33:31.260 doesn't even hide that

01:33:32.880 they are monitoring you.

01:33:33.880 MI5 military intelligence

01:33:35.160 is watching you,

01:33:36.220 its own people.

01:33:37.780 Meanwhile in the US

01:33:38.680 we just disguise it in a

01:33:39.820 plethora of acronyms.

01:33:42.040 Three letter agencies.

01:33:43.920 Yeah,

01:33:44.180 that's true.

01:33:45.080 Well,

01:33:45.300 I mean,

01:33:45.540 we get watched and

01:33:46.580 it doesn't really achieve

01:33:47.700 anything because they're

01:33:48.660 like,

01:33:48.920 oh,

01:33:49.060 he was known to prevent.

01:33:50.340 Well done.

01:33:52.200 Yeah,

01:33:53.580 I'll read through a

01:33:54.260 couple of mine.

01:33:55.020 They went off and

01:33:55.600 murdered everyone.

01:33:57.180 So,

01:33:58.800 Reece Sim,

01:33:59.620 would you rather go to

01:34:00.520 the Pooh Festival or

01:34:01.600 Notting Hill Carnival?

01:34:02.780 Well,

01:34:02.900 that's just a question.

01:34:03.800 Pooh Festival.

01:34:04.300 Yeah,

01:34:04.460 I was going to say,

01:34:04.840 that is safer.

01:34:05.740 That's the question of,

01:34:07.160 that's Josh's same

01:34:08.680 dichotomy.

01:34:09.460 Would I rather get

01:34:10.140 murdered or go to the

01:34:11.200 Pooh Festival?

01:34:11.980 I don't want to get

01:34:12.820 murdered and to be fair,

01:34:14.180 the Indians at the

01:34:14.920 Pooh Festival all seemed

01:34:15.920 very friendly.

01:34:16.580 They were friendly and

01:34:17.320 also if they did want

01:34:18.480 to murder me,

01:34:19.160 I know the studies about

01:34:20.240 grip strength,

01:34:21.100 so I think I'll be okay.

01:34:22.640 There's also another

01:34:24.140 Rumble chat that's come in.

01:34:26.020 I was planning on

01:34:27.000 saving that to last.

01:34:28.020 Okay.

01:34:28.940 Cumbrian Kulak,

01:34:30.040 welfare abuse and

01:34:30.900 sanity.

01:34:31.360 Professor Adam Perkins

01:34:33.020 booked the welfare

01:34:33.880 trait.

01:34:34.500 Conscientious is going

01:34:35.700 down,

01:34:38.420 less impulse control.

01:34:39.360 Two solutions suggested

01:34:40.340 by the professor.

01:34:41.420 More targeted welfare

01:34:42.540 to wean people off

01:34:43.480 or sudden end to it.

01:34:44.840 Irrespective of the

01:34:45.580 de-industrialization of

01:34:46.640 the West doesn't provide

01:34:47.620 many jobs,

01:34:48.660 no welfare,

01:34:49.260 but then what?

01:34:50.200 Seems some country's

01:34:51.100 entire system is

01:34:51.780 dependent on welfare,

01:34:53.080 e.g. Syria

01:34:53.960 and Turkey.

01:34:56.020 Perhaps, again,

01:34:56.840 but if an entire

01:34:57.520 community is getting

01:34:58.500 subsidized to have

01:34:59.440 nearly 20 children...

01:35:01.200 That's an issue,

01:35:01.860 isn't it?

01:35:02.600 But also,

01:35:03.200 why should it...

01:35:03.920 I mean,

01:35:04.240 if the US government

01:35:05.340 can either skim the top

01:35:06.520 off of taxpayers' money

01:35:07.640 or print dollars

01:35:08.960 to make it happen,

01:35:10.460 why can't it also

01:35:11.400 be allowed for the

01:35:12.560 productive members

01:35:13.680 of American society

01:35:14.820 as well?

01:35:15.460 Because if they're

01:35:15.940 taking more than

01:35:16.660 they're putting in.

01:35:18.360 Yeah.

01:35:18.780 Sorry,

01:35:19.280 it's exactly because

01:35:20.560 they're the productive

01:35:21.580 members of American society.

01:35:22.940 That's why they're

01:35:23.380 not allowed to.

01:35:24.620 And finally,

01:35:25.460 Michael Drabalbus,

01:35:26.340 on Harry's segment,

01:35:27.160 sounds like the old

01:35:27.940 Borscht belt in New York.

01:35:30.020 Sullivan County in New York

01:35:31.060 was used as a Jewish

01:35:31.840 summer retreat in the

01:35:33.120 mid-60s.

01:35:33.740 Sullivan County is now

01:35:34.600 practically abandoned

01:35:35.580 and economically depressed.

01:35:37.340 That is a shame

01:35:38.320 to hear.

01:35:40.460 That's a random name.

01:35:41.460 I subscribe to

01:35:42.120 State of Politics.

01:35:43.000 State of Politics.

01:35:43.460 Do I get an 11-cent

01:35:45.280 discount for Islander?

01:35:46.920 No.

01:35:47.600 This is State of Politics,

01:35:48.600 no affiliation.

01:35:49.420 Not affiliated.

01:35:50.780 And finally,

01:35:51.680 accrual,

01:35:52.440 with quite a nice

01:35:53.120 pair of quotes here,

01:35:54.320 is the mutual duty

01:35:55.220 of all to practice

01:35:56.380 Christian forbearance,

01:35:57.720 love and charity

01:35:58.380 toward each other.

01:35:59.540 James Madison,

01:36:00.240 and also James Madison,

01:36:01.740 charity is not part

01:36:02.760 of the legislative

01:36:03.480 duty of the government.

01:36:06.700 That's right.

01:36:07.380 So if there's one

01:36:07.980 message that you can

01:36:08.740 take from this,

01:36:09.760 I think it's

01:36:10.560 pay attention to

01:36:12.520 your

01:36:12.960 community,

01:36:14.620 pay attention

01:36:15.120 to the people

01:36:15.600 closest to you,

01:36:17.180 and practice

01:36:17.840 kindness towards them.

01:36:19.060 Build a community.

01:36:20.060 Build your community,

01:36:21.100 practice kindness

01:36:21.780 towards them,

01:36:22.820 trust and love

01:36:23.420 one another.

01:36:24.180 Stay out of the sewers.

01:36:25.220 Stay out of the sewers,

01:36:26.160 don't do any digging

01:36:26.880 down there,

01:36:27.540 you're not going to

01:36:28.060 find anything good.

01:36:29.360 That's the best

01:36:29.880 that you can do.

01:36:30.860 Thank you very much

01:36:31.520 for joining us today,

01:36:32.460 folks.

01:36:32.940 I hope you all have

01:36:33.800 a great rest of your day.

01:36:35.240 We'll see you again

01:36:35.780 tomorrow.

01:36:36.380 Take care.
