00:00:50.600
2024 i'm joined by stelios hello everyone and josh i'm harry and today we're going to be talking
00:00:56.980
about the turkish dog genocide a segment in which stelios plans to say absolutely nothing for a
00:01:01.980
legal reason no particular reason how venezuelan gangs are taking over colorado and i'm going to
00:01:08.680
be talking about woke shows taking a beating because i don't want it to all be black pills today
00:01:12.700
anything we'd like to say before we get started and remind everybody that we've got the gold tier
00:01:17.260
zoom call after this as well which we do we've got a gold tier zoom call you do indeed anything
00:01:22.580
else you want to say but lads i'm very itchy because i had a spider on my head this morning
00:01:26.440
so sorry if i'm itching a lot all right you still just a bit tired but have you been assaulted by any
00:01:33.060
animals bugs no no no no but apparently some other people have yeah i have been frustrated by dogs
00:01:40.520
that's true i also had a jumping spider above my desk today and it's dropping bits of ceiling on my
00:01:45.740
head yeah he was shrieking like a woman it was embarrassing i was not i got it in a glass and
00:01:50.160
released outside perfectly civilly yeah yeah of course anyway let's get on with it then if i must
00:01:56.320
so everyone knows of the country turkey right you know how they sort of changed their name and added
00:02:03.480
some dots over things well they've been having some problems with dogs um there are roving gangs of
00:02:10.080
of wild ish dogs they're basically former pets for some reason my mouse is not working that's not
00:02:16.320
good but uh if if samson you could play that video dog haters don't want you to do the segment
00:02:23.320
very loud you don't need to hear it you know what dogs sound like
00:02:33.840
but yes there is a problem with dogs apparently there are four million total stray dogs in turkey
00:02:40.740
and uh apparently there are only 322 animal shelters with a capacity to host a total of 105
00:02:48.760
000 dogs so they do not have the capacity to shelter them all and so something has to be done
00:02:57.080
supposedly so uh this is going to be a sad segment isn't it it is yes none of my technology is working
00:03:03.580
i can't do anything um so here's the next link and uh here's another pack of dogs they're smaller
00:03:11.600
dogs this time uh these potentially less dangerous but you'll see them all just sort of mobbing
00:03:18.600
and uh i don't know whether you're if you were going for a walk and you come around the corner
00:03:23.000
and all of these dogs running at you would perhaps alarm you i think the bigger dogs certainly
00:03:29.640
smaller ones less so i mean you say that they're ex-domestic house pets for most of them right
00:03:34.820
i believe so but many of them have become sort of feral again okay so let's have a look at a chart of
00:03:44.900
dog ownership in europe because this is interesting so turkey wants to be like other european countries
00:03:51.860
and it's kind of not for example look at the dog ownership compared to the rest of europe it is
00:03:57.860
the lowest of all european countries are we really counting turkey as european they're trying to be
00:04:04.360
and they're not doing a great job are they no because they're very different aren't they
00:04:09.040
and you can look at somewhere like great britain 33 percent uh you got the czech republic there i think
00:04:15.340
uh 42 percent portugal 43 yeah 39 yeah portugal pretty well uh i think that's romania 45 percent
00:04:24.460
almost half of all people in romania have dogs dog friendly country um but yes i think liking
00:04:32.080
animals liking dogs is a pretty european i like the poor border to uh to asia
00:04:39.240
that's where they get eaten uh so if we move on to the next one um here we have cats versus dogs
00:04:49.880
you can see dogs of course britain spain portugal italy greece uh some of eastern europe france and
00:04:58.080
germany and certainly turkey are more on the cat side so is that romania again somehow a cat nation
00:05:26.980
we're a professional outlet here nothing works except uh apparently the staff right okay back in
00:05:37.400
yeah that's not going on youtube folks yeah hopefully none of this is but anyway um yeah
00:05:48.040
turks like cats you get the idea um if we look at the next link
00:05:52.380
here is uh if you scroll up this is uh tom billy uh the cat the cat street cat in turkey
00:06:01.540
um that everyone liked so much for sitting like this on a bench that they when he died
00:06:07.280
they made a statue of him which is quite flattering actually compared to the actual cat who's very fat
00:06:13.660
obviously well looked after they've also made him look deformed
00:06:17.120
this is not the best is it no so yes i think it's safe to say that turkey much prefer cats over
00:06:24.980
dogs i'm a diplomat i like both cats and dogs so do i i have both i grew up they can be friends
00:06:31.440
yeah cats difficult but they can be my cat used to like nudge the the head of our dog and they would
00:06:40.160
get along and like my dog would chase my cat in the garden the cat would enjoy it it was a bit weird
00:06:45.120
that's really cute but anyway um there's also this the moment in history when muslims began to see
00:06:54.260
the dogs as dirty and pure and evil and of course turkey is an islamic country and islam is not fond
00:07:00.280
of dogs and uh this is uh in the business what we call foreshadowing they don't like dogs but they
00:07:07.740
see cats as clean the distinction being dogs do not clean themselves and cats do therefore
00:07:12.660
cats are ritually pure and dogs are ritually impure and this is also a debated thing within islam
00:07:20.740
because there are muslims that do own dogs and not all muslims see it this way but the majority seem
00:07:26.800
to um and this thing actually comes from the hadiths as well so let's have a look at some examples of
00:07:33.800
attacks so this is um is a post about peacocks in someone's garden in turkey um four of them
00:07:43.100
were attacked and two of them were incubating eggs apparently and there were some street dogs
00:07:48.300
uh dug through um a flower bed in the garden and tore through a wire fence to get to them
00:07:55.900
and they basically tore them apart when they did um and so this is one of the the on the least severe
00:08:01.940
end of the attacks the other animals are being impacted by the dogs and therefore it's not just
00:08:07.960
hey you know we don't want these dogs hanging around there are there is a cost and benefit
00:08:14.140
just here's an example of uh this is someone complaining about their uncle being bitten by a dog
00:08:19.660
uh showing the wound here but that could be propaganda because you never saw the dog biting
00:08:26.320
his his anti-dog propaganda anti-dog propaganda there is a cat calling the shot somewhere there
00:08:33.900
and um there's also been articles about it as well here's a guy who's talking about i think moving to
00:08:41.780
Ankara and he said that he took his dog on a journey through europe to get to turkey which i don't
00:08:49.600
know why you did that and didn't fly but anyway he said it took less than 24 hours in the country
00:08:54.820
being turkey to dispel my fantastical image of the turkish street dogs as gentle giants walking
00:08:59.760
through a small town um bodrums outskirts to try something or other some rice dish stuff with
00:09:06.840
midja dolma that's the one yeah um three or four huge dogs appeared on the sidewalk and charged at
00:09:12.780
us barking and snarling my wife victoria and i chalked it up to a freak um incident in a remote
00:09:17.520
location but we were wrong stray dogs haunted our trip through turkey's anatolian heartland
00:09:22.100
every petrol stop involved being chased by a pack of dogs some of whom escorted our car out as we
00:09:27.380
drove from the forecourt um there was a little reprieve when we eventually reached uh turkey's
00:09:32.520
capital of Ankara our hotel was right next to a park um that was home to a particularly aggressive
00:09:37.720
pack it was heartwarming to see the residents feed them each day but it was less heartwarming when
00:09:42.640
they gave chase to us when we took ricardo which is his greyhound mix out for his daily walks so i
00:09:49.920
think it is safe to say that these stray dogs are causing problems and then if we go on to this next
00:09:55.240
one uh it's particularly grainy footage but it's someone that just seems to be waiting around and
00:10:01.560
just flapping their arms trying to scare the dogs away it seems like an unusual strategy to be honest
00:10:08.080
but yeah and then they take him down anyway yeah i mean it's still just enjoying the casual violence
00:10:15.400
as usual he is greek after all he's allowed um but yes and also there are incidents like this this
00:10:24.400
i believe was a 40 year old disabled man uh got killed by an attack by street dogs they basically
00:10:31.680
tore him apart a bit and then he died in hospital of his wounds and so this terror has led to this
00:10:39.900
um turkey passing a law um to basically round up stray dogs and while they were debating this there
00:10:45.960
were lots of protests if we cut to uh one of the articles um if you go back they actually detained some
00:10:53.120
of the protesters and we can see here a picture of some of them so it is a controversial thing even in
00:10:58.800
turkey right let me in the rest of europe let me clear this up so dogs i know we all love dogs i
00:11:05.780
know that they're cute i know that they're fluffy i know that they're tame over here but we know even
00:11:10.340
over here we've had problems with particular breeds in america you've got pitbulls over here we had the
00:11:14.940
bully xl xl bullies doing the you know despite being a minority doing the majority we can go through
00:11:20.380
per capita all we like but um they are a wild animal uh in turkey and actively go out of their way to
00:11:28.060
hurt other animals and can hurt and have in fact killed people unless as stelios suggests there's
00:11:33.740
some kind of cat spiracy going on behind all of this egyptians in the egyptians yes clearly um
00:11:41.760
so that all happens and what does the news media do but if you go back to the last one for us samson
00:11:47.940
posts the cutest picture they could find of a presumably stray dog it's got no collar on
00:11:54.200
and then the leftists come out in force in the next one going oh look at this cute dog he was
00:12:00.000
going to be an architect he just got through university he was a good boy who didn't do
00:12:04.180
nothing harry are you a member of the catspiracy i am a member this is exactly what a member of
00:12:10.640
rational human race he would say who cares about the dangers that wild animals pose to people and
00:12:16.820
other more tame animals yeah but i i'm sure as the segment go progresses i will have my response
00:12:23.120
so my perspective on it is that erdogan originally said okay they're going to be rounded up and and
00:12:30.680
and kept maybe neutered they're not going to all be killed en masse and i think if they were either
00:12:37.140
neutering them or you know rounding them up and putting them in kennels or something like that
00:12:42.820
i could sympathize but there are four million dogs on there and they as as we addressed at the start
00:12:49.020
they just don't have the capacity to do that and so rather than doing what he said he would do
00:12:56.760
it seems like people are just going out and murdering dogs uh indiscriminately and we're going to see some
00:13:03.980
of the consequences of that so definitely don't scroll down on this one samson um but yes that people are
00:13:11.220
just taking it upon themselves to kill dogs and on their own for example they've there was a case
00:13:17.200
here where 17 dogs were thrown into an old basically slimy swimming pool and they were left to drown
00:13:23.960
there which is evil in my opinion and there are apparently claw marks on the side of the swimming
00:13:29.840
pool where they try to climb out which as someone who likes dogs was very difficult to read about and i
00:13:35.960
have seen like the footage and and lots of other things i'm not going to show you i'm not going to show
00:13:40.260
you um you know horrible things okay definitely don't scroll down on this one as well samson
00:13:46.160
but um thank you for translating it though no no no scroll back up up um but i've seen lots and lots
00:13:53.340
of horrible things of basically what amounts to animal abuse of you know dead dogs in bags and things
00:14:01.180
and there's nothing that really infuriates me more than abusing animals and you know i understand what
00:14:08.260
harry was saying is that perhaps do so humanely if you're going to address the problem if they are a
00:14:13.860
legitimate problem and causing actual harm to people and other animals um then yeah you have to solve
00:14:22.540
that problem eventually right you can't just have roving packs of street dogs attacking people
00:14:26.860
constantly what i am not saying is that you should therefore solve the problem in the most brutal and
00:14:32.840
inhumane way possible of course so i think i'm of the opinion that to get it to this point in the
00:14:39.540
first place there has been a failure in turkish society in the first place because stray dogs are
00:14:45.860
a zero problem in northern europe i don't know if you know a single country i've been in northern europe
00:14:51.980
where there are strays anywhere you know a stray dog is something to be concerned about and and people
00:14:58.180
will call up the authorities immediately and address it generally speaking they're treated
00:15:03.840
you know they're taken to a kennel and potentially adopted but sometimes sadly euthanized but
00:15:09.200
at least you know we've got a process in place that keeps it sustainable even though we own more dogs
00:15:15.320
you know per household than in turkey and i think that that is the way to go about it is a failure
00:15:22.060
in turkey to deal with this sort of thing and this is quite common in sort of around the
00:15:27.340
mediterranean isn't it well we have stray dogs as well but uh i don't think that
00:15:34.080
they cause much problem and generally speaking people treat them well and we also have stray cats
00:15:40.100
cats in taverns are have the highest standard of living in the whole world you know there isn't much
00:15:48.180
problem so i will agree with you about the policy because four million dogs don't just start to go
00:15:55.920
ape no you know go bonkers okay you don't don't just wake up one day and decide to attack everyone
00:16:05.340
they see so what is absolutely appalling here is that they didn't think in terms of long-term consequences
00:16:13.700
because what you do if you have a problem with stray dogs is you try to control the population you
00:16:21.540
could sterilize them in advance you don't wait for them to be a dog apocalypse to do something about
00:16:28.140
it and then go and act in such a violent manner because the latter part the way that they have
00:16:37.380
reacted seems that for a lot of people it's like a ritual violence is the point yeah they're sort of
00:16:45.020
resentful towards dogs in a way but i think that just oh actually you go ahead i'm curious because
00:16:50.800
you mentioned well yeah policy uh problems these dogs don't materialize out of nowhere do we know
00:16:57.080
why there are four million stray dogs on the streets because they've not dealt with the problem and i
00:17:01.120
think there are two things here not only is there the inhumane attitudes of some people in turkey not
00:17:06.020
all people towards dogs in the first place that makes them very distinct from the rest of europe
00:17:11.540
but also this policy that is more common in mediterranean countries and and completely unheard
00:17:18.480
of in northern europe of dealing with these sorts of things we don't have a problem with stray animals
00:17:25.940
in britain pretty much at all as far as i'm aware you know maybe you have some parakeets in london that
00:17:32.780
have formed a colony but that's just because they can't be caught but that's about it but you know
00:17:37.600
at least when there is a problem in say mediterranean countries like say italy or greece
00:17:42.180
they're treated well and sort of as community uh i don't know what to call it a community
00:17:49.780
responsibility to look after them i i have to be honest here because maybe you know some people
00:17:54.960
will expect me to be very critical and stuff but i don't know to what extent this is an issue of the
00:18:01.700
whole turkish culture or not because i know i know people from turkey who love both cats and dogs
00:18:07.100
no i that's why i've been trying to emphasize that it's a sort of cross section of of turkey right
00:18:13.780
yeah the more islamic side of turkey one would say so there are cases here where they're illegally
00:18:21.000
injecting dogs with drugs to kill them and this is also going on in beaches and things where people
00:18:27.180
are which could potentially kill people and so people are going at this in a bit of an overzealous way
00:18:33.860
it seems and if we move on to the next one here this one's a bit sad this is a still image i watched
00:18:38.440
the video of a man who um is holding a dog that had been poisoned that had puppies and he's basically
00:18:44.640
brought it into the town square and making a spectacle of it like this is what you're doing
00:18:49.200
um you're killing dogs don't do this so it's an ongoing debate in turkey and um we can move on to
00:18:57.440
this of course it's caused backlash because it would um backlash grows against turkey's stray dog
00:19:03.080
massacre which has left millions of pooches dead despite president erdogan claiming they're meant
00:19:08.040
to be placed in shelters to keep the streets safe so yes people have been waking up to the fact that
00:19:13.520
they're being killed and in fact there have been images emerging of things like this of it going on
00:19:18.400
in an industrial style scale and uh move on from that quite quickly if we can and there are people
00:19:24.640
in turkey basically pointing out this sort of thing it's not you know it's not something we
00:19:29.860
should do they're treating the dogs as if they're terrorists and using that sort of language and
00:19:34.660
she's directly quoting here stray dog terrorism she's encouraging people not to visit turkey and so
00:19:40.880
if we move on yes tourists should boycott turkey over its plans to slaughter stray dogs and lots of places
00:19:47.740
tourists are now um not going there on holiday because of this and then this has also caused
00:19:55.480
concern in turkey itself because they rely a lot on tourism and uh we'll be looking at some of the
00:20:01.120
figures for that and um if we have a look at this next one um this is sort of epitomizing the
00:20:08.000
difference in attitude between some turks and greeks in that this is a picture from i think it's a greek
00:20:16.760
um police officer saving a dog from a fire on the right hand side and we won't look at the other
00:20:23.500
picture of people um being mean to dogs because i don't really want to see that but you know different
00:20:30.380
sides of the aegean very different attitudes i think so it's also worth mentioning here's a
00:20:36.520
something to cheer you up here's armenia they they share the greek attitude towards dogs here's a dog in a
00:20:42.300
fountain and uh someone helps the dog out of the fountain i think it got stuck in there and you
00:20:57.280
see the dog being excited and grateful and happy for it while he's holding you know a cigarette in
00:21:03.480
i've also done something of the sort in a port you've got to do that though haven't you and and
00:21:09.460
you start seeing the dog run around very excited and happy that he's out of the fountain so how
00:21:17.040
anyone could do do this sort of thing to you know willingly throw them into water when they're so
00:21:23.880
wholesome like this i do not know but um anyway to sort of round things off let's have a look at the
00:21:31.840
gdp share of the tourist sector so if you scroll down a little bit samson you can have a look at
00:21:38.160
that there are projections into the future here so 20 not that far um just for the graph um 2024 is
00:21:46.240
um we still can't see it the graph the graph further up the graph there we go thank you um for 2024
00:22:00.500
2024 um it's over 10 of their economy is tourism 10 and a half percent right and so if people are not
00:22:08.420
going there on holiday this is going to be very severe because also they're having a bit of an
00:22:14.640
economic crisis at the minute as well so if we move on to this next article it's pointing out they've
00:22:19.400
had lots of really bad policies in terms of economics and fiscal policies they've got really
00:22:24.260
really high inflation i think you've talked about this before stellios and um that seems to be
00:22:29.840
cooling according to this next article um but they're still not out of the woods yet
00:22:34.240
there it is and uh one final thing i wanted to end on is that uh some political enemies of turkey
00:22:43.260
have been trolling them uh here is a kurd um insulting the turks for a single turkish man having
00:22:51.580
fun with a donkey but of course turks in the comments have pointed out that it is a turkish man
00:22:56.600
intervening and telling him off what did he try to do to the donkey well his belts undone so make
00:23:02.900
your own mind up but the point being that this whole escapade has damaged turkey's international
00:23:09.000
reputation um and given ammunition to their enemies to ridicule them because of course the kurds and the
00:23:15.140
turks do not get on and um i for one want to see these dogs treated humanely that obviously a problem
00:23:20.720
as harry has pointed out but um it would be nice to approach it with a bit more humanity than is
00:23:27.000
currently being shown by some of the population all right samson while we're sorting out the segment
00:23:33.800
going to the next segment can we um try and figure out how to fix this technology please
00:23:38.980
right is this working now we have any no it appears that we do have two rumble rants the first one was
00:23:46.520
before the podcast began we have tried to unplug them and plug them back one thing to say to
00:23:54.560
people because i saw this in the chat on the chat that i don't think of cats as left-wing i think they're
00:24:01.840
the most right-wing animal yeah dogs are more left-wing because they're they're they're more loyal to
00:24:08.920
authority aren't they yeah we need to we need to say we need to speak the truth all right i'll go i'm
00:24:17.040
gonna read through these two rumble rants okay so uh first one that was sent before the podcast began
00:24:22.320
is blood for the blood god for twenty dollars says who are you the proud king in wrath said so i must bow
00:24:30.000
so low i wasn't sure what that was to begin with but instead it turned out that it was a reference to
00:24:34.840
the reign of kastamir uh from the song of ice and fire series neo-unrealist for one dollar says
00:24:41.200
admit it stelios there is a greek conspiracy to breed feral dogs and smuggle them into turkey
00:24:46.000
as a step one of the liberation of constantinople and hagia sophia is that true are you are you
00:24:53.640
involved in this stelios no idea this work this
00:24:56.480
um i don't think this works i think we're just gonna have to have samson control everything from
00:25:03.420
the control center for the rest of the podcast which he's more than capable of doing as long
00:25:07.760
as he can figure out what a graph is next time um shots fired yeah uh also we've just got one
00:25:14.460
coming from bald eagle 1787 for two dollars saying funny how these ngos that have so much money to
00:25:19.880
help barbarians invade the west but have zero funds to help save actual innocent animals that deserve to be
00:25:25.600
in the west this is this is a good point at the very least if the ngos are going to have any use
00:25:31.800
and with that shall we get into your segment stelios half a second please
00:25:41.420
turns out blue states are getting out of control we are going to talk about colorado and about how it
00:25:49.740
is terrorized by a venezuelan gang and uh just look at the governor that they have because in times of
00:25:58.400
crisis it's good to lead to look at towards your political leadership because good leaders are
00:26:04.560
making us sometimes feel that they have things under control let us watch here jared polis
00:26:12.760
does he make you feel safe does he make you want to go to live to colorado he makes me feel sick
00:26:30.320
right so what could possibly go wrong when you have politicians of that sort we are gonna look at
00:26:38.640
the aurora apartment complex in colorado and we are gonna see that we have some very interesting
00:26:47.980
videos that are very harrowing let's watch the first one please here we could we could just put it here
00:26:53.080
we have a gang of people we don't want uh we don't want uh sound we have a gang of people they carry
00:26:59.780
weapons and they just enter into into the building and they're opening doors storming into apartments
00:27:08.620
and basically terrorizing people who live to the aurora complex and this is why you own firearms to
00:27:16.540
defend yourself right because could you imagine this whole group of men armed to the teeth supposedly
00:27:22.540
with weapons just breaking into your house who are also a venezuelan prison gang yeah so i wonder if
00:27:33.320
this has anything to do with the democrats tough on crime policies they're not tough on the ms13
00:27:40.040
apparently well we will see that the aurora police department acknowledged that it is aware that
00:27:45.960
components of that uh trend de aragua prison gang are operating in aurora they are trying to have
00:27:54.340
evidence and they're trying to let's say um cooperate with federal and also state actors in order to
00:28:03.060
try to help the people now we should go to the previous link please and we can scroll down a bit
00:28:12.180
scroll down a bit please thank you yes scroll down a bit we have here essentially stories that people are
00:28:17.940
telling us this is a new york post about a couple that for instance they describe their plight and
00:28:23.940
their experience they have to have five locks that they open and close every time they walk in and
00:28:30.100
out of their apartment and there are many other people who are terrorized and essentially they feel
00:28:35.860
that they have to leave their place because they think that it's gone completely out of control and
00:28:41.220
that they do not have the kind of help that they need we could also go to the to the next link please
00:28:48.900
and also we should bear in mind that denver is called by some a sanctuary city i i did a fact check
00:28:56.180
and i saw that some people are saying that it isn't a sanctuary city but it is a blue state
00:29:00.660
and blue states right now do have a sort of very relaxed approach on issues of you know mass migration and
00:29:08.900
illegal migration so they're saying that denver has received the largest number of migrants per capita
00:29:15.620
across the u.s nation with more than 40 000 new arrivals since december 2022 so this is important to
00:29:22.820
bear in mind because it shows how sometimes things disintegrate when people pursue multiculturalist policies
00:29:30.980
that have never worked and frankly almost no one wants right so we have directly east of denver
00:29:38.420
aurora which is the the place we're talking about it has been flooded by illegal migrants as well
00:29:45.940
and places where a lot of illegal migrants especially come from venezuela are particularly
00:29:52.180
prone to be sort of raided or controlled by that prison gang and also other related prison guns
00:30:00.660
because trendy aragua isn't the only venezuelan gang that operates sadly we could have we could play
00:30:07.780
this without without audio and we could see that police officers arrive they are wreaking havoc they
00:30:15.140
are completely way they are throwing waste you have to click to bring it up full screen and then police
00:30:20.020
officers arrived thank you yes we have essentially people wreaking havoc there and uh everyone just
00:30:28.820
thinks that this is unlivable and that they want to leave well i don't blame them yes it is unlivable you
00:30:35.700
shouldn't have to worry about armed gangs taking over your where you live and trashing the place and
00:30:42.340
stealing and who knows what else exactly and maybe and you also don't want to be called a far-right
00:30:48.420
racist if you express concerns about that thank god the rainbow flag brigade have showed up you should
00:30:54.740
be expressing them in lead shouldn't you yes we see clips here of the disintegration of that apartment
00:31:02.020
building and that apartment complex and you know people want to leave that place i don't know what
00:31:08.100
to do it's just as simple as that it's just collapse and lack of a sentiment of public safety something
00:31:17.940
that sometimes you know we can feel also in europe yeah well if they're not careful they'll end up like
00:31:23.060
swindon won't they right now let's go to the next link please swinton's the next and scroll down to
00:31:30.340
the second part of the thread we also have here a clip by andy know he says the aurora swindon
00:31:36.900
the aurora colorado apartment building is turning into a slum after venezuelan migrants moved in
00:31:42.420
and migrants walk around brandishing guns and there was a shooting at the complex
00:31:47.380
you see here that basically there is full of trash a road full of trash and yeah when you have
00:31:55.700
basically anarchy yep basic social etiquette isn't upheld and that goes without saying i'm
00:32:04.580
i'm trying to put it in a lot of venezuelan trash around is what you're saying yes now if we go to
00:32:09.700
the next link please we see here that there is a statement by the aurora police department they're
00:32:14.100
saying that they are aware that components of trend aragua are operating in aurora and they are
00:32:20.500
cooperating and collaborating with other agencies to see how to best address the crisis and they urge
00:32:27.220
people and all community members including members of migrant communities to report crimes and just
00:32:35.380
notify their local law enforcement communities now let's go to the next link please
00:32:39.540
it's also worth mentioning as well that they're a foreign gang that are armed you know if if it were
00:32:47.940
say a terror group they wouldn't be saying oh well we're trying to figure out a way of dealing with
00:32:52.740
it they'll just go in and shoot them that's what they should do here that they've taken over an
00:32:58.100
apartment block why aren't they dead already why aren't they decorating the walls there's a question
00:33:03.140
that many people have raised is why does the police don't storm in to just enforce the law and i don't
00:33:12.980
know to to what extent maybe we could save to give a charitable interpretation that you don't you don't
00:33:19.700
know how many people are in there terrorized by these groups and maybe there is a calculation of collateral
00:33:25.700
damage if they were right wing or christian you know like waco or ruby ridge there'll be hundreds if
00:33:32.580
not thousands of feds with helicopters and apcs and tanks well remember that ruby ridge a woman
00:33:40.660
was shot through the head whilst cradling her baby yeah well the feds are more than happy to to shoot
00:33:45.780
children uh unarmed women and dogs also not gangs ruby ridge began with the agent showing up killing
00:33:54.420
a dog and then killing a child who'd seen it happen right yeah we have here a video that we want to
00:34:01.220
play without sound and you know we we have footage of people walking around and telling telling uh
00:34:17.700
they're using a lot of games is what they're doing as well yes showing chaos and you can see that there
00:34:23.860
are cars that are about to run them over so things are completely out of control this is a complete
00:34:30.980
breakdown of law and order it looks like um you know before hurricane katrina when everyone was
00:34:36.980
looting all the the shops and it looked sort of almost post-apocalyptic yeah it's to that level
00:34:42.500
it is post-apocalyptic it's like these movies where there's you you know the alien attack or something
00:34:47.780
and people want to rush to go to close to the sea or something illegal alien attack yes venezuelans are
00:34:54.500
coming yeah and then they saw how's the city before and after the attack and virtually there isn't much
00:35:00.100
difference well but here there is difference apparently because colorado i think colorado
00:35:05.380
had a good fame had a good name a good reputation for it it was a nice place at one point yeah i've
00:35:10.980
heard that it's a bit of a stone estate but other than that i i've heard no good things that generally
00:35:16.580
beautiful nature beautiful nature yeah but these aren't pictures that want me for instance to go
00:35:23.140
there as a tourist well i would like to go there as a journalist it makes me want to document the
00:35:28.740
breakdown of of law and order it's horrifying though because this is america supposedly one of
00:35:34.180
the most advanced countries if not the most advanced in the world and basic things like law and order
00:35:41.780
and justice are just not going on but the the terrifying thing is that there seems to be an
00:35:46.660
allergy on behalf of the political establishment towards the very concept of law and order especially
00:35:52.340
when it comes to some you could say protected groups because they really don't have problem
00:35:57.300
with enforcing the law when it comes to the native population in in the west anyway i i'm not saying
00:36:03.460
that they are not going to enforce the law but i'm just saying that perhaps they know they should
00:36:08.980
perhaps this shouldn't have happened in the first place should have happened in the first place and
00:36:13.300
people should worry much more about enforcing the law and the police should worry about enforcing the
00:36:18.820
law not not being called racist or something come on we shouldn't why are we having to ask these
00:36:24.180
questions in the first place unfortunately we live in 2020 why why i'm sorry why is it the government is
00:36:31.060
not only so illegitimate but so incompetent in doing the very most basic functions that it's supposed to do
00:36:38.420
in the first place that this kind of situation can happen and like you two are both saying there
00:36:44.100
isn't an immediate crackdown of the most brutal kind against these people instead you can get
00:36:51.220
southern american gangs taking over apartment complexes is because your leaders hate you
00:36:56.580
your leaders hate you and they don't care about you they don't care about your safety they don't care
00:37:00.500
about protecting you if anything they care more about the rights of these freaks because it keeps
00:37:05.860
them safer we have here the mayor of aurora colorado making some good statements if you ask me i think
00:37:14.100
that he said we can scroll down a bit he was interviewed in fox we don't have to play it i'll
00:37:23.300
mention it thank you so essentially he said that someone put them there someone put them there george soros
00:37:30.260
that this is a failure of border policy he he directly says this and he also says that these
00:37:36.260
gangs are attracted to areas where there are venezuelan migrants they feel somehow that they
00:37:41.220
can control them the more easily they feel that they can recruit well they all speak the same language
00:37:46.100
they speak the same language they feel that they can recruit members from them more easily and that
00:37:51.940
they are trying to cooperate with local state and federal law enforcement partners to make the required
00:37:58.580
arrests now he isn't particularly certain that this is trendy aragua trendy araguan but he says that
00:38:07.460
whether it is or not is dangerous and something should be done about it now i don't know about uh this
00:38:12.820
mayor mike kaufman but i think that this sounds a plausible this sounds a plausible statement to me i
00:38:19.620
don't know his past or other stuff that he has said but this sounds like a plausible i mean on the ground
00:38:26.020
level as a mayor of a city i'm very certain you don't want foreign potential cartel groups
00:38:33.700
taking over entire sections of your city so on a more ground level like a mayor or a sheriff or
00:38:39.540
someone like that i'm almost certain that yeah he probably means it and uh you also have uh the
00:38:45.620
democrat mayor of new york saying that there is too much of mass migration in new york so sometimes
00:38:52.260
maybe he's an idiot and he did say that they're all welcome right until they showed up and realized
00:38:56.500
what problem there was i i hear this a lot and i see a lot of people commenting about this that
00:39:01.620
you know you voted for them now deal with it i i understand i understand this but i think that
00:39:06.900
there needs also to be an element of solidarity here and fraternity because you know there there are
00:39:12.980
people who are terrorized by that you know they didn't even vote for these policies but also
00:39:18.180
you know you could say i mean there are a lot of people who vote republican but also have lots of
00:39:23.700
members of their families who vote democrats and they they don't think of them necessarily as people
00:39:28.900
who who would like something like of course i'm not saying that they we don't uh the people who are
00:39:33.940
being terrorized by these people deserve sympathy i'm speaking specifically of mayor eric adams of new
00:39:39.780
york saying that the city was a sanctuary city saying bring them in and then he goes out and
00:39:44.820
complaining and says oh we're being overwhelmed by them when they actually do show up exactly so
00:39:50.100
let's go to the next link please and the next one we have here these signs people have have
00:39:56.660
stickers upon these signs they say caution kamala's illegals they're essentially trolling kamala's
00:40:03.140
okay two years in prison in britain yeah borders are status i've heard the name borders are so many
00:40:09.460
times now or the borders are in or something it's arena border czarina yeah yeah essentially that
00:40:16.500
that was a question because a lot of people asked yesterday what is her claim to fame what has she
00:40:21.860
done what has she accomplished i don't think i i just can't think anything even the borders are black
00:40:28.020
guys in jail well i don't know about that but the the borders are state josh all we know from that
00:40:34.660
statement is that you would vote for her i was just saying she used to be in in the justice system
00:40:40.660
right that was her career and uh she was criticized from the left of her own party in the black lives
00:40:46.020
matter time for incarcerating a lot of black men for drug offenses okay but still i think that there are
00:40:52.820
people who have done more than her even in the democratic side and easily easily yeah so she's a
00:41:00.180
diversity candidate yeah let's go to move to the next one here we have jared polis who is the governor
00:41:07.220
of colorado he is the jolly gentleman i showed you in the beginning singing felice navidad and
00:41:15.620
not exactly inspiring confidence he's a gamer if we scroll down he said it not me
00:41:22.980
isn't this the guy who at the dnc said that he was also on reddit as a gamer as a redditor
00:41:31.860
i think that could be it yeah yeah this is that guy yeah yeah if we scroll down on his account we'll
00:41:36.900
see that he doesn't make he doesn't make statements about this well of course not he's too busy looking
00:41:43.140
for updates on reddit colorado is the official reddit state and this is what's going to happen to you
00:41:49.380
well unfortunately it's also a blue state and if we go to the next link same thing we will see that
00:41:54.420
not only is he not commenting about what is to be done but he also denies what is happening he says
00:42:01.060
all that are figments of people's imagination i forgot he's a swifty as well he a self-described
00:42:06.900
redditor gamer and swifty yeah no list yeah so there are videos showing that he is lying and even if that is
00:42:18.420
even if he's too much on reddit and he he doesn't do it intentionally that what he says is not true
00:42:25.460
that there are problems with this stop moderating reddit threads and actually look at the videos
00:42:30.740
coming from your own state stop yeah stop trying to crack eggs on reddit you freak yeah so i would
00:42:36.260
say that this is this is concerning also i mean there is an element of of irony and you know we can laugh
00:42:43.460
but it's also very harrowing and concerning because you would expect from a governor of your state to
00:42:49.860
react to your city and your town and your apartment complexes being terrorized by gangs
00:42:59.140
to react to this could you imagine when 9 11 happened the mayor of new york just saying no it didn't
00:43:04.740
he's making it up you far-right racists yeah yeah that's what you're just making up to fuel islamic
00:43:10.820
hatred that's the new playbook and you apply it to the past it sounds absurd yeah and presumably he
00:43:16.820
would follow the aoc tactic and say all of that is a problem of the u.s sanctions to venezuela that's
00:43:24.980
their whole rhetoric when it comes to venezuela for anything that happens blame u.s sanctions to
00:43:32.260
venezuela that's their modus operandi let's go to the next link please yeah here we have here the
00:43:38.100
citizen caller they're saying call and email mayor of aurora and governor colorado to demand action
00:43:44.660
if you live in colorado you could just click on the link and just see where it takes you next link
00:43:51.460
please next link yeah we we have here's people who are essentially talking about it for a long time now
00:43:59.140
it's not just something that happened the last two three days we have here from august 14 people on the
00:44:05.940
ground talking and they're saying more news about the venezuelan takeover in colorado and they're
00:44:12.020
they're essentially talking about and they say that they are armed they're trained they start they're
00:44:17.700
recruiting kids people don't feel safe so when it comes to blue states and people who are just empty
00:44:24.820
engaging in empty virtue signaling and talking about things that they consider to be ideals but i think
00:44:31.860
they're a bit moronic they should constantly think that public safety is number one the first and
00:44:38.100
foremost priority of states is to ensure public safety as it has been traditionally conceived of
00:44:45.620
not in the crazy sense that you know if you somehow uh offend someone's feelings that this is a
00:44:53.940
problem to a national security problem so people are talking about it for a long time it's not something
00:45:00.180
that just happened two or three days ago let's move to the next link please we have here rumors about
00:45:07.220
the same gang operating in new york the trendy aragua venezuelan gang you would expect that wherever
00:45:13.540
there are illegal migrants from venezuela you could say that they would be particularly vulnerable to the
00:45:21.060
operation of the gang and people can look here at viral news nyc gang data related by nypd
00:45:29.460
reveals the most dangerous trendy aragua members terrorizing new york city as well new york city
00:45:36.020
is a sanctuary city mayor eric adams has announced it as such and also the adam's shaking his fist at
00:45:43.460
the sky saying who could have why has this happened who could have allowed this yes so what we're looking
00:45:49.620
at here is the distinction between propaganda and reality in propaganda on woke paper when you just open
00:45:57.300
your borders everything just works fine if you just hug people they will hug you back if you try to
00:46:04.740
understand them they will try to understand you the problem is that this doesn't work with anti-social
00:46:09.540
elements uh that applies not only to to to p to foreigners illegal or not it also applies to people
00:46:17.380
domestically there are some people that you cannot reason with and we see the the the devastating
00:46:26.820
results that these policies have and we also see people who did vote for democrats saying that our
00:46:33.300
communities are being destroyed in chicago in new york city in colorado they're saying this multiculturalism
00:46:40.020
does not work let's go to the next link please we have here a very interesting twist and angle into
00:46:47.380
the conversation with which i will end my segment because if we link the mass migration with calls
00:46:57.300
for void voter id laws and the repeal of voter id laws we will see essentially that there is a very
00:47:05.380
high risk that democrats are essentially wanting to have illegal migrants in order to make them vote
00:47:14.020
yeah well that they very reliably vote in one direction and so there's a very strong incentive
00:47:20.580
for them to import more exactly and we see here by elon musk saying uh reminding us if we scroll down
00:47:28.820
a bit if we scroll down a bit the link please he reminds us a tweet by kamala harris who said an
00:47:37.220
undocumented immigrant is not a criminal and if we scroll up yet again yes they are by definition
00:47:45.380
well i mean that's the problem with the the borders are i uh philosophy of kamala harris that you know
00:47:52.100
if you break legally into the country you haven't broken the law that's essentially the well if it's
00:47:57.620
illegal then yeah that's the contradiction and the confusion which i think it's deliberate i i think that
00:48:03.380
a lot of people in positions of power they're not stupid as you know many people will like to say but
00:48:09.860
i think that this is deliberate so they have a massive incentive as elon musk said to bring in and
00:48:18.020
legalize illegal immigrants and for them to vote democrat and if we go to the next link we'll see
00:48:24.420
that california now voted to ban and prohibit voter id requirements in local elections they have an
00:48:32.900
analogy to voter id laws which personally i think given the massive influx of people who
00:48:40.820
aren't us citizens into the us personally i think that there would be a very good idea
00:48:46.100
britain's actually gone in a different direction we now require id to vote and also we only have paper
00:48:51.860
ballots we don't have digital voting yes if we can do it so can the us you spend a lot more money per
00:48:57.620
capita on your elections than we do and also democrats are supposed to care about legitimacy
00:49:04.180
one of the main reasons for people feeling that a government is illegitimate is if they think that
00:49:10.740
the processes in terms of which they're elected are illegitimate or unfair so if democrats care about
00:49:19.860
legitimacy presumably they could do this as a gesture of goodwill now let's go to the last link
00:49:29.540
the previous one you've gone back to the first one there we go yeah there is a clip a video that we
00:49:36.580
won't play but by all means watch it that has gone viral this is just one account sharing it's
00:49:43.700
it's not the first one where we have a lot of we have a lot of people who are basically saying that
00:49:50.500
voter id laws are racist go figure so democrat states blue states do seem to not be particularly
00:50:02.100
governed and they well and people in them will feel progressively less safe because democrats and
00:50:10.900
democrat may governors have an allergy to law enforcement when it comes to some local communities
00:50:18.580
when it comes to some community sorry i want to reverse this i don't mean local i mean i don't mean
00:50:23.780
native i mean when it comes to some communities they consider to be their protected communities
00:50:29.460
they seem to be very resistant and very hesitant in enforcing the law
00:50:32.900
all right samson what's going on with this then so it's not actually showing up any of the things
00:50:42.420
that it should and it's plugged in but it is just showing the stream deck logo is there any way that
00:50:47.300
you can fix that that's going to require an entire pc reset okay all right um same with the same with the
00:50:55.380
mouse todd howard okay it just works it should just work apparently supposedly i'm guessing
00:51:10.900
yeah yeah i've uh unplugged one and plugged it back in and now i'm unplugging the other one
00:51:17.620
okay wonderful absolutely fantastic let me try and put that one back in just to make sure
00:51:22.740
nope still absolutely nothing sorry folks it turns out in between each of my segment uh each of my
00:51:28.020
links i'm gonna have to say next please which uh it annoys me so i hope it didn't get on your nerve so
00:51:32.980
much all right then so let's talk about woke television shows have you been watching any woke
00:51:38.260
television shows you shouldn't have no if you have don't no hate watching woke abstinence no hate
00:51:43.780
watching you're not allowed i wanted to find uh something on netflix that didn't involve lesbians and
00:51:49.620
i hit upon oranges the new black and how long did you watch that before you switched it off in
00:51:56.420
the season i'm joking i'm joking you're like you know actually some of this lesbian stuff i can get
00:52:02.020
into this i support it i think you know it's my my missus has watched a lot of oranges the new black
00:52:08.580
and my biggest problem with it is that there is just so many ugly women in it yeah there are so many
00:52:13.780
ugly women if you're gonna make a show about lesbians come on i've been watching house of the
00:52:18.660
dragon um other than the the random black uh valerian family which is a bit weird just like
00:52:27.060
you mean these all these people with very blonde whitey hair just suddenly who's supposed to also
00:52:31.940
have purple eyes in the books as well yeah yeah just all of a sudden sub-saharan that's a bit
00:52:38.340
weird only one very specific branch of the family that's true it is very strange by the end of the
00:52:44.740
first season um it's not so much of a problem not gonna spoil anything that's kind of a spoiler in
00:52:52.260
itself well done so um yeah i don't really watch any tv anymore except for stuff that i already know
00:52:58.660
is going to be good or stuff that i'm aware of that's old um but what i definitely didn't watch
00:53:05.220
was the acolyte except for what i was subject to beau watched some of this and he said it was
00:53:10.100
actually painful you watched all of it mr h reviews and all the other parts of the fandom menace really
00:53:15.940
wanted to do a review of the full series so beau decided to you know tag along for it and i'd rather
00:53:22.660
him than me if you love rants it makes sense yeah but also you shouldn't give if you love ranting it
00:53:29.060
makes sense to watch something like that you shouldn't give any of your free personal time
00:53:34.820
to these television shows because you should just look at them immediately go well that's obviously
00:53:40.660
shit and wait for them to be cancelled as a lot of them have been recently including the acolyte
00:53:46.500
and there's this forbes article explaining exactly how it was uh why it was cancelled because it was
00:53:51.940
crap no no no it comes down to three reasons some of them you know have something to do with it being
00:53:57.860
utterly rubbish one being low viewership probably because nobody wanted to watch it
00:54:05.300
and uh the interesting thing was that the viewership itself absolutely fell off a cliff
00:54:10.180
after episode two so people watched where they have the the the lesbian force baby
00:54:16.820
or is that episode three yeah with the power of one and the power of many
00:54:21.140
power of many that was a lesbian force baby i thought that they were doing some kind of like
00:54:26.020
chakras harry the term force baby sounds really cursed as well doesn't it yeah let's move on
00:54:32.820
and also here's a shocking statistic statistic it cost about six hundred and thirty thousand dollars
00:54:40.100
for every minute of screen time you can pay me six hundred and fifty thousand dollars and i can
00:54:45.780
produce something better than that just in my house it had a budget over i think eight episodes of
00:54:51.460
something like 180 million dollars it's a money long exercise surely i don't know what you could
00:54:58.340
be talking about if we go to the next one we'll see what the star the the amandla stenberg i really don't
00:55:05.940
like her i don't you're not like you're not supposed to like her stellios you're supposed to listen to the stupid
00:55:13.620
things that she has to say and you're supposed to be angry for engagement her name alone is annoying
00:55:19.460
in that it's it's a word yeah why have you shoved an l in there it's like a zulu word for power or
00:55:25.860
something or other but it just sounds like you're dyslexic maybe this is amanda no this is the black
00:55:30.340
american thing where they have to put la in every name like la beyonce laquanda except there these
00:55:36.740
people the stenbergs they decided to you know um innovate a little bit and put at the end instead
00:55:42.420
amandla amandla there you go now we're breaking new ground if we just listen to what she's got
00:55:47.780
to say here about why the show failed what does she have to say on it can you guys uh a rampage of
00:55:54.180
vitriol that we have faced since the show was even announced when it was still just a concept
00:56:01.140
when no one had even seen it uh that's when we started experiencing a rampage of um i would say
00:56:09.700
hyper conservative uh bigotry and vitriol prejudice hatred and hateful language towards us um
00:56:24.660
you know it's because the show sucked it's because the show was awful and trust me and also
00:56:29.860
you're not a good actress yeah also you suck uh you're bad and you should feel bad basically
00:56:35.860
there there you go no excuses there is this that's going on at the moment which is i thought this was
00:56:42.580
fake it's a petition on change.org to renew the acolyte scroll down for me no everyone should sign
00:56:49.300
this no no no wait let let me let me get to it because at the time it had 50 000 in the next one
00:56:54.740
on the actual live page you can see it's got 60 000 signatures it is real and i see what you're
00:57:00.740
doing i know what's going on here gentlemen these are bots no no no i think what we're looking at
00:57:07.700
is morbin time it's it's the morbin isn't it do you remember morbin time i remember morbin time
00:57:13.780
in the next one let's remember morbius the cinematic masterpiece that was jared leto as
00:57:20.900
morbius a film that came out in the middle of last year and earned 17.3 million dollars
00:57:27.380
on its first day it flopped obviously it underperformed it did not hit expectations
00:57:33.540
so they pulled it out of the cinemas oh wait no it's 2022 sorry they pulled it out of the cinemas
00:57:38.260
and then all of the fans came up with a very organic media social media support for it saying things
00:57:45.860
like it's morb in time which it was it was the summer of morb we had the summer of love in 2022
00:57:52.580
it's the summer of morb something that's celebrated in the church of scientology
00:57:56.660
sounds like it probably is jared leto in the church of scientology maybe maybe but
00:58:02.420
is that slander go go on still no no i i have to say this because i can't hold myself i have to say
00:58:07.940
this because i i really dislike what she said because you know she's blaming the audience not
00:58:14.420
herself and i saw these people know how to really yeah but it really takes a really good artist to
00:58:23.540
say this in a sensible manner like oscar wilde who was saying sometimes you know
00:58:27.380
i didn't fail it's the audience that was wrong you you can accept that from an oscar wilde but she's
00:58:33.140
no oscar wilde seems that seems kind of like wilde just been a bit prissy to be honest it it is it is
00:58:39.700
but he gave things he has he he has produced i'm sure he gave a lot he has produced art she has
00:58:48.020
if i do a bad segment it's not that my segment is bad it's that you have failed to understand it in the
00:58:53.140
correct way yeah and if i write academic papers that nobody can understand that's not my fault you're
00:58:58.580
just too too stupid i thought for six years i was always intelligible
00:59:06.260
yeah i had 99 approval rating all of those students who had no idea what you were talking about
00:59:12.020
everyone had an idea what i was talking about yeah but back to morb which is what all of this is about
00:59:18.900
really at the center of the universe there is jared leto um yeah they there was the uh organic
00:59:26.100
grassroots movement get morbius back in the cinemas we need it to make money and sony listened to that
00:59:31.300
and said all right all right we see what you want we'll give you exactly what you want so they re-released
00:59:37.380
it into the cinemas and it made 85 000 um 300 000 overall uh which was 289 per theater average which
00:59:50.260
cost them quite a lot of money for re-releasing it in the cinema and then sony pulled it entirely so if
00:59:55.700
if this is what we're going for folks if this is what we're doing with the acolyte i say go for it
01:00:01.380
don't aim for 75 000 signatures get 200 000 get 500 000 get a million signatures we need the acolyte
01:00:09.220
back gentlemen to send it into the morbid i mean it cost them let's not forget 630 000 for every minute
01:00:16.660
of screen time is that another hit that disney can take i say let's give it a try we need to bring it
01:00:22.900
back with the power of many yes exactly not the power of one not the power of two we need the power
01:00:29.460
of many to sign the petition i will watch it purely to bankrupt disney if if if watching that show you
01:00:37.300
don't watch it you just sign the signature and then let them make it and then just forget it
01:00:42.580
i'm a man of my word though how do i keep my word harry you don't have to be honorable about the
01:00:48.100
acolyte all right i i i don't have to be honorable not about the acolyte okay about other things you
01:00:55.060
should maintain a sense of dignity and honor but not about disney throwing hundreds of millions of
01:01:00.980
dollars into a big pit of fire i was gonna go out and steal a child's ice cream after this all right
01:01:07.220
mr burns okay anyway anyway moving back moving on to other television shows that are underperforming
01:01:14.740
and didn't get the viewership they were after an amazing report was done earlier uh last year
01:01:20.820
looking at the lord of the rings rings of power amazon television series which also
01:01:26.180
was ridiculously expensive i think the budget for it overall for what eight episodes was one billion
01:01:31.860
dollars and it was a true a truly i i think it was financed and produced by dr evil that's the
01:01:38.500
only thing that makes it make sense uh it turns out only 37 of viewers actually finished the show i
01:01:45.220
didn't finish it you did or didn't i didn't you didn't well then there you go you're not one of
01:01:51.540
you're part of the 63 i didn't even finish watching the trailer because i was just like this is
01:01:56.820
already awful neither did i and in the same vein as a mandler was this the show's fault was this
01:02:06.900
your fault it's the audience no that was the show's fault i was a member of the audience correct
01:02:15.460
but what did amazon studios chief jennifer sulk have to say about it well the desire to paint the show as
01:02:22.100
anything less than a success it's just not reflective of any conversation i'm having internally
01:02:28.260
so the show sucked nobody watched it and those who did didn't watch it all the way through but all
01:02:33.940
the conversations you're having in the office are high five saying good job folks we did it
01:02:38.980
you're delusional you're absolutely delusional and she says well you know the second series is
01:02:44.740
a huge opportunity that first series it required a lot of setting up it's because we're just a slow burn
01:02:50.740
show but you can do set up well it doesn't have to be boring there's no it wanted to be amazon's
01:02:56.740
game of thrones right yeah but game of thrones was interesting well yeah first episode the first
01:03:01.300
and second series of game of thrones are incredible probably but i think the first three series of that
01:03:06.580
show are the best and most of those are set up especially series one especially tyrian in series two
01:03:13.460
his entire plot is set up for the blackwater fight and it's awesome it's great and it pays off but if
01:03:19.620
it's all set up with no payoff then yeah what did the audience who did watch it have to say let's
01:03:24.660
check rotten tomatoes well the obviously the critics said 87 incredible amazing no the audience says 53
01:03:32.740
probably that's generous still too high would you say too high stelios that's way too high yeah
01:03:39.060
and uh there's the other problems that came with rings of power which is modern audience problems that
01:03:43.860
being the race swapping and bounding into comics and the next one one of the stars a man called
01:03:49.940
ishmael cordova if we scroll down we can see you might recognize him you probably didn't watch the
01:03:55.300
show um so you'll probably recognize him from the trailer that you might have skipped through yes yes he
01:04:02.020
you call him don lemonless don lemonless ah very clever samson very clever he said at a convention
01:04:13.300
that there was a big controversy of me being the first elf that wasn't white i loved that nerve that
01:04:19.220
i pinched and nobody watched the show so as was it really worth it i really do i was so excited to
01:04:26.020
create something new a lot of people speaking on behalf of tolkien i don't know if they understand the
01:04:31.620
spirit of tolkien says ishmael cordova who totally understands everything tolkien was going for he's
01:04:37.300
writing from an english perspective and ishmael cordova doesn't understand an english perspective
01:04:44.340
now clearly english listen tolkien was writing a new mythology for the anglo-saxon peoples as he made
01:04:50.980
clear we as anglo-saxons and stelios i know you're not included in that but spiritually i'm going to give
01:04:57.380
you i'm going to give you the saxon pass i don't worry you can part of our shield wall now it's the
01:05:02.900
g pass you can say gammon it's all right i'm proud of my origins that's not like one of those stupid
01:05:09.300
ecophobic people there you go well that's very respectful of you um but he said that his work speaks
01:05:15.540
of the times again tolkien was writing a mythology for the english people based often on anglo-saxon stories
01:05:23.940
and legends um as far as i'm aware the anglo-saxons didn't look like ishmael no they probably look
01:05:30.340
more like me yes yeah and but he said it's necessary to revise things and represent and exist i think a
01:05:38.420
lot of people look at us to affirm their own existence talk about saying the loud part the
01:05:44.020
quiet part out loud good god he just said if we don't look like modern audiences on screen these
01:05:50.740
people stop existing they are so bereft of their own individuality and character that they need to
01:05:56.500
get their identity from a television show if you're that pathetic you don't deserve any stake in society
01:06:03.780
at all i agree but these people can vote these people who unless they see black elf on screen
01:06:09.780
don't think that they exist which i don't even think is accurate because of course within the urban
01:06:15.460
communities of america they're huge dragon ball fans um unless they're identifying with mr popo
01:06:22.340
they're identifying with goku who goes who when he goes super gets green eyes and blonde hair so what
01:06:29.860
are they identifying with there uh but yeah this is this is slop these people snap out of existence like
01:06:35.620
in like in avengers or something if they don't get their slop which is another reason to stop making it
01:06:41.380
um uh the other thing with the series two is that uh one of the best things that they can say about
01:06:47.380
the main character galadriel young galadriel is that she takes up space what do you mean she takes up
01:06:56.180
space what should she be a waste of space i mean i mean if that's all that they can say that she does
01:07:03.380
then yeah she might be because she takes up space i don't understand this woke obsession with the idea of
01:07:09.780
i take up space all it basically sounds to me like is that you want to justify being a nuisance to
01:07:14.340
the people around you and say that it's something some grand political statement that you are loud
01:07:19.940
obnoxious and annoying she takes up space should be a good slogan for the fat positivity movement
01:07:26.900
that's who i want to see i was also thinking it does make her sound like she needs to lose a couple
01:07:31.380
pounds doesn't it yeah lay off all the lambus bread yeah and what what what are the mainstream
01:07:37.620
critics reviews coming in about the second series now well they're not looking good forbes already
01:07:42.260
was not too popular uh too um too enthusiastic about it but they say his dreadful jumbled mockery of
01:07:50.500
tolkien saying season two is if anything excuse me sorry i'm i'm bringing up bile speaking about it
01:07:58.500
worse than season one i've read some reviewers complain that this is all too dense they're missing
01:08:03.380
out on the story they opine because they're not familiar enough with tolkien's law i'll tell you
01:08:07.220
what it's dense the people wrote that i mean yeah but nothing here is even remotely based on tolkien's
01:08:12.980
law beyond the vaguely middle earth setting and some familiar characters yes because it's a mockery
01:08:18.100
i first read lord of the rings when i was nine 1999 and it was just a holy experience and i see i think that
01:08:26.500
that this is sacrilege it is it's a mockery it's a subversion it's a humiliation of the source material
01:08:32.580
which again is why you shouldn't watch it even for hate views i um in the next one as well the guardian
01:08:39.540
even the guardian are saying i know we're woke i know we're an awful lefty rag but even we can only
01:08:47.620
give it three stars so i i think we should view this you know it being sort of anglo-saxon mythology
01:08:54.580
something that the anglosphere loves this should be like drawing the prophet muhammad to muslims
01:09:07.300
i'm not i don't know how to uh continue from that so i'm just going to leave that yeah leave that
01:09:13.380
hanging and move on of those who have decided to torture themselves watching this the critical drinker
01:09:19.860
is one and he came up with a handy dandy little index of some of the worst lines that he's seen
01:09:25.620
in the show heard so far in the show including things like he played me like a harp but the
01:09:30.820
melody was not one of my choosing this doesn't sound particularly consensual does it i think that's the
01:09:39.380
point one does not need the eyes of an eagle to see that your thoughts have strayed far from this place
01:09:45.220
oof slam dunk and like an ember that has been too long removed from a fire our people must return
01:09:52.980
to their home do these people know what embers are what that's a very long-winded analogy next line
01:09:58.740
you're tearing me apart lisa is tommy wazo a consultant writer on this i know how to write the medieval
01:10:06.660
dialogue dr nick the simpsons i mean that isn't that tom wazo in real life i mean good good god
01:10:14.500
this is this is like somebody who's vaguely heard about the medieval period and maybe heard that a
01:10:19.860
guy like shakespeare once wrote a few plays and got a vague idea it's like what it's supposed to sound
01:10:26.580
like evil period isn't it yeah it's embarrassing leave your faux poetry on the cubicle wall if you're
01:10:32.900
going to write it anywhere well certainly that first line will go down well yeah there you go
01:10:39.060
and um also there was some very strange developments in it which is there are orc families
01:10:45.380
or qg's look at this there's orc families who are refugees look at the little baby
01:10:52.260
she's even got a burka on oh my god baby orc i mean good god
01:10:57.540
god this is again again against the spirit of tolkien because after the battle at the fields
01:11:05.060
of pelleno and gondor they basically deported orcs to the far east oh yeah yeah as you should
01:11:14.580
yeah george r martin's wondering what aragorn's policies are there you go deport them they all
01:11:20.580
have to go back did they get to middle earth by a small boat maybe you know aren't the orcs born of
01:11:26.580
the earth they they sort of emerge out of it well perhaps but the most i'm going to subject anybody
01:11:32.740
to actual footage of the show beyond the few stills is in this next link here which is i've had
01:11:39.300
more well no no no you should because i would laugh no no i would laugh with you will laugh you will
01:11:45.380
laugh because this is let's take a look at the orc refugees their conversations they're just like we are
01:11:52.100
safe here we have a home must we go to war again trust me my son when i tell you that we will never
01:12:02.100
truly be safe until we've made certain sauron is no more as you will it lord father
01:12:25.460
they're trying to make you feel sympathy for the orcs they're just like you and me they're literally
01:12:30.740
doing the thing where they see brown people and go omg they're just like my orcs from my favorite
01:12:36.500
fantasy show but then they have them go up and they go over the little orc baby
01:12:43.140
and the audience is supposed to be there crying they're gonna have a storyline where the the orc
01:12:48.420
is sort of just like a perfectly normal person and then as soon as he gets into his job role
01:12:53.620
he's doing all of the orc stuff you know eating people burning and pillaging comes back and he's just
01:13:00.020
like oh he's also gonna have a presidential dog yeah he's swirling a thing of whiskey just like oh i
01:13:05.300
hate my job oh it was a rough one at work today honey oh don't you want to come and look at little
01:13:13.380
and they spit their tongues out i almost just want a safe place to raise the kids be evil and practice
01:13:21.540
orc lives matter i mean what what can you say other than don't hate watch it don't watch it for
01:13:28.260
any reason other than to laugh at it and with that let's get into the video comments
01:13:33.460
i shouldn't have smacked the table i wouldn't even hate watch you
01:13:39.300
the uk's first official consumption room for illegal drugs including heroin and cocaine will open in
01:13:44.900
glasgow the space has booths for up to eight people to safely inject heroin and other drugs
01:13:50.660
at any one time this has worked so well in san francisco really really well in san francisco
01:13:56.260
there's even books on it but don't worry not all is lost a proposal for a room where
01:14:01.140
they can smoke illegal substances was removed due to legal issues posed by scottish anti-smoking
01:14:06.100
legislation smoking is unknown do they also supply it that's about this is around the same time that
01:14:14.660
the government is almost certainly going to be going a bit softer on things like marijuana with the
01:14:19.940
smoking bans so you're going to get it so that you can yeah you can smoke weed but if we catch you
01:14:24.740
smoking tobacco then no no you're gonna you only get to smoke blunts in britain keir starmer's actually
01:14:29.620
ruled that out entirely he said explicitly i'm not gonna legalize cannabis so the lib dem's not
01:14:36.100
going to be happy with him are they they're gonna have to go over to europe which they love anyway
01:14:40.820
interesting yeah that's awesome i love it yeah i kind of want the documentary version of that
01:14:48.100
comment yeah we should put all of these together yeah i'm glad you enjoyed watching the series as
01:14:54.100
much as i enjoyed making it the only difficulty was compacting everything into 30 second segments
01:14:58.100
and having no actual microphone to record on if given the opportunity however i could do a much
01:15:04.100
more thorough and professional production for everyone's viewing pleasure on an entirely unrelated
01:15:08.580
note i live in swindon and i'm free every monday and tuesday
01:15:14.420
i i believe something is uh in the works actually
01:15:20.500
apparently according to samson you can expect a contact from us very soon exciting
01:15:27.780
kia starbo given current leftist boogeyman could you come up with a new policy idea that will break a
01:15:33.620
million households in the uk um how about this we let foreigners do what they want and jail the
01:15:40.980
natives if they get upset or something oh that's perfect we'll call it empathy and love could we
01:15:47.780
have another policy idea okay how about this we tax the shirt out of the native population so there's
01:15:54.180
no incentive to succeed then all the rich people flee or something flawless we'll call it paying your
01:16:01.540
fair share it was good of you to get keir starmer to actually voice himself in this video comment
01:16:09.380
really good touch that was very impressive i think this was an insider footage from the labor
01:16:14.260
uh labor headquarters as well there's too many white men for it to be the labor head that's a good
01:16:24.020
also australia does have a very annoying progressive capital gains tax system but if you've held the
01:16:31.540
asset for longer than 12 months you get a 50 capital gains tax discount the idea is to force people
01:16:39.300
or incentivize people to hold their assets for longer than 12 months and it discourages short sales
01:16:46.260
which has a stabilizing effect on the market what are your thoughts
01:16:51.940
we'll have to push that one to dan well my thoughts are that having any rules on what you can do with your
01:16:58.020
own property is kind of an abomination um as it is your stuff if you own it so the fact that the government
01:17:06.980
can micromanage stuff certainly on the better end of managing stuff the australian approach but still
01:17:20.500
in engines there's something called a compression ratio which is the difference in volume of a cylinder
01:17:24.020
between the bottom of the stroke and the top long and short of it is the more you squeeze your
01:17:26.980
air and fuel the more power you get and the cleaner it burns but this is contingent upon refined
01:17:30.980
fuel between 1950 and 1970 the average octane rating went from about 55 to 87 thanks to ever more modern
01:17:36.580
refineries however in 71 nixon established the epa which tightly regulated refineries and despite
01:17:41.860
many attempts since then to build new refineries none have survived the bureaucracy theoretically we
01:17:46.180
should all be rolling around in 20 to 1 compression ratio motors making 700 horsepower and getting 40
01:17:50.900
miles to the gallon but we're not there are we thank you federal government that's really interesting
01:17:56.900
yeah also really appreciate those uh just the moving stuff around and making stuff yeah as a
01:18:04.020
background for a video comment as a person i don't really mind nixon that much but in 71 he seemed to
01:18:09.460
make a few stupid yeah a few stupid decisions which have some very bad long-term effects
01:18:17.060
having just returned from a fortnight in england i would advise that you don't take too many black pills
01:18:21.620
from the medicine cabinet i still found the country to be beautiful and populated with friendly and
01:18:26.820
warm people i've learned the value of a warm smile when greeting anyone a lesson which i'd learned
01:18:31.860
earlier from my great uncle keith here i am with my grandmother who will turn 100 next year so my return
01:18:37.940
date is fixed oh fantastic well i'm glad you had a lovely time and you know happy birthday to your
01:18:43.700
grandmother when she gets there many of those places i've been to in devon and i went back to
01:18:48.580
to plymouth recently and i've also been to north devon where my mom's family are from and north devon is
01:18:55.940
still very nice very english there's a creeping bit of diversity in plymouth that wasn't there before i
01:19:02.980
left in 2020 but devon cornwall still lovely you know it is sort of like a haven for the anglo
01:19:11.780
ironically yeah i know yeah since several of you have expressed your appreciation of my dog
01:19:21.140
here's a little video just to kind of lighten the mood a brief dog video
01:19:30.500
oh look at him this is so wholesome is unimpressed don't visit turkey
01:19:45.540
now i didn't think i'd miss ireland when i left but let me tell you what
01:19:50.580
it's pretty hard to do your spooky girl's summer when it's 30 degrees and the rivers are too deep to
01:19:57.300
wade through and you're having to wear yellow dresses all the time because it's not windy enough
01:20:16.180
nice pictures yeah i didn't know spooky girl summer was a thing so we've got white boy summer
01:20:20.900
and spooky girl summer this is this is how the europeans retake the west can it be spooky girl
01:20:26.900
autumn so white boy summer it doesn't overlap they're two separate things i suppose
01:20:31.620
a good vegas nerve exercise to engage your rest and digest and disengage your fight or flight
01:20:41.620
is simply to simulate yawning or to take a deep loud sigh that tricks your gut into thinking it's time
01:20:50.660
to eat again and your brain into thinking it's safe to sleep again to rest again
01:21:02.260
i don't need to pretend to yawn a lot of the time i just do it because i don't get enough sleep but i'll
01:21:13.140
i feel so much better performative yawning now disgraceful anyway that's all of the video comments so
01:21:19.860
shall we read through some of the uh through the written comments actually first we've got the rumble
01:21:24.180
rants from that segment so first off keith kaiser for ten dollars thank you says it just works josh
01:21:31.220
judgment that's one of the uh it's the same one that's in the discord oh is it yeah judgmental yeah
01:21:38.500
yes jubs mcgee for two dollars says only good thing about the series are the critique videos
01:21:45.620
highly recommend people check out disparu i've not heard of them so i'll yeah i'll check them out
01:21:52.500
bald eagle 1787 two dollars says you want a good lord of the rings tv show follow aragorn when he was
01:21:57.620
in the gondor army or the struggle of the rangers in the north or follow the true heroes
01:22:01.780
hero of the series boromir not aware of what he's referring to there in fact as regards a tv show
01:22:09.700
yeah do you tell yeah dark ninja 33 for one dollar says disney would probably make more money if they
01:22:15.460
put some old tv shows on disney plus and that they have the rights to because of the fox purpose
01:22:20.660
purchase mash comes to mind that's probably true but also i don't want people to have a reason to
01:22:25.380
sign up for disney plus yes they're terrible yeah so written comments first of all george ford says
01:22:30.900
what actually happens in a gold tomb gold tier zoom call i have had a gold membership for years but
01:22:36.180
usually can't make it is it worth going along uh well i think it's going to be us three on it i
01:22:41.540
think it's beau rather than me oh is it beau um that's rare beau barely makes appearances on the
01:22:46.260
zoom calls uh so that's a lucky one um you we go in a zoom call and we take questions from the
01:22:52.340
audience members have a chat really uh for five minutes you've everyone's got five minutes to
01:22:57.140
speak to us and yeah it's quite relaxed so if you feel like showing up and you can show up then
01:23:03.060
give it a try it'd be nice to speak to any of our audience members california refugee quick shill for
01:23:07.620
the lotus eaters website premium josh and beau did a great deep dive on ruby ridge worth a fiver to
01:23:12.980
watch at contemplations 170 didn't you also do waco or was it just we did yeah um i think
01:23:19.540
beau did one on waco didn't he i was on it both very important events in the uh recent american
01:23:28.660
history fuzzy toaster i'm just loving harry's lovecraftian mug tara from beyond time time for
01:23:33.940
a cuppa yeah i love it too and uh thank you again to the anonymous person who sent it in i really
01:23:38.980
appreciate it i'm gonna read through your comments sure james hoffman says maybe the solution for these
01:23:44.580
dogs is them to come on boats to britain i would take dogs over migrants every time less feral yes
01:23:50.980
eyepatch wearing stelios smokes while saving dogs says uh what i want to say about the dog topic i
01:23:57.380
can't thanks storm troopers i i'll tell you one thing i'll say about it maga make anatoly a greek
01:24:04.820
again there you go uh les roast beefs uh frenchman apparently mixed views on the stray dog issue would
01:24:12.980
i go to turkey with my young child where they could be attacked and killed by a pack of 20 stray dogs
01:24:17.380
absolutely not a pack of feral dog um dog packs should not be treated like pets they are a danger
01:24:23.700
to us as wolves would be that's true although it's a problem that humans have created and i think we
01:24:28.580
have a certain responsibility to deal with it in a more humane way than perhaps wilderness
01:24:35.300
adrian webb says australia lost the emu war hopefully the dogs will defeat the turks
01:24:40.340
it doesn't take much to be honest and i'll do one more a guy from hungary says romania has stray
01:24:45.540
dogs in both towns and cities most of these stray dogs are civilized and abide by the road rules
01:24:50.340
mostly many townsfolk have uncolored dogs which roam freely around the town however stray bears are a
01:24:56.020
big problem yeah i mean i can imagine a bear being in your village a bit more of a problem than a single
01:25:01.700
dog it happens even pets they can go for a walk by themselves you know people know them my my dog's
01:25:08.100
like a mayor or something the dog's the mayor yeah mayor of the town yeah uh yorkshire he managed
01:25:14.180
the finances as well no he has other people doing that for him okay he's good people under him yeah
01:25:20.100
yeah yeah he's got cats doing that for him it's like people's legs under him what right baron von warcock
01:25:27.220
you said that i think it was i think it was warhawk but maybe you mispronounced it yeah and he's
01:25:37.220
changed it the baron okay the baron rights he's got his walker you gave that some leslie nielsen delivery
01:25:44.660
those are really great movies i've only seen clips from them but they're all amazing they're amazing
01:25:51.460
they voted for this colorado is a color blue state so they won't get any sympathy from me they voted for
01:25:56.660
people who promised open borders and more immigrants so they can complain when their
01:26:00.900
community gets more immigrants i mean i i can get this but i mean they're your people
01:26:08.900
i know some of them and what i want to say is that not all democrats not all people who vote democrats
01:26:16.420
are just hopeless cases they're not all voting for open borders some of them are voting to trans your kids
01:26:23.940
that's not what i'm saying i'm saying that there are people who are wokists who are deliberately
01:26:29.220
calling for these calling for these policies and other who don't want these policies but they don't
01:26:34.980
know well but for some reason you know they they support this anyway it's just no i get what you're
01:26:41.860
saying that's just me i'm just saying that if you want to unite a nation you cannot just say anyone who
01:26:47.220
doesn't vote as i like just deserves to be terrorized by foreign gangs yeah that's what i
01:26:53.380
want that's right there's no excuse arizona desert rat these gangs are soon going to be trying to take
01:26:59.940
over neighborhoods instead of just a building i think they already do so if the police don't step up
01:27:05.940
this is going to be a horrendous mess colorado once had one of the highest gun ownership then the laws
01:27:11.620
changed roman observer are we actually living in the captain america winter soldier premise are the
01:27:18.020
governments trying to create such a chaotic world that we agree to give them even more powers in the
01:27:23.860
whole to receiving some scraps of security and uh eye patch wearing stallion smokes while saving dogs
01:27:34.260
it's like snake place conversions i was thinking what is happening in colorado is yet another example
01:27:41.620
of the cultural change that many on the right side of history many of those on the right side of
01:27:47.300
history want a culture that is comfortable with bribery and corrupt corruption in parallel with an
01:27:53.140
authoritarian state essentially enforces unwritten state policy who can be discarded for the optics game
01:27:59.780
should we go to your comments yes roman observer remember to leftist orcs are a representation of
01:28:05.300
black people this says a lot about leftists or like with the starship troopers thing it might be that
01:28:11.140
they see orcs you know hideous deformed uncivilized and go it's just like me the same way they did with
01:28:18.580
the bugs and starship troopers so maybe that's why they identify so much with them and care about their
01:28:23.140
representation so if you live don't forget the clarkson's farm series three had more viewers per
01:28:28.340
episode than that premiere of rings of power so that's 37 of a viewership that's less than clarkson's farm
01:28:35.860
yeah people love clarkson's farm rightfully so arizona desert rat who i know is a woman now um if it hadn't
01:28:43.860
even been filmed or released how could racist digots express an opinion well because i i think what she's
01:28:50.580
referring to there is the fact that we saw the casting and went everybody knew grant gibson it's almost
01:28:57.460
like we can look at the producer and creative team in the history of disney star wars and predict
01:29:02.100
exactly the turd about to be delivered yes every single time 100 uh prediction rate arizona desert rat
01:29:12.180
again even the previews of that show are beyond cringe i don't know which one you're referring to
01:29:17.380
that i spoke about but yes all of them yes no moral wad these shows have such massive discrepancy between
01:29:24.900
budget versus production quality the pentagon must have a better traceability of funding yeah i noticed
01:29:30.820
in all of the articles that i was looking at regarding rings of power they all said oh it's
01:29:35.300
costing a billion dollars and you can see it in every frame of the show and i've seen some clips from the
01:29:41.780
show some sequences and if you think bloom costs that much to apply as a filter um then you've not made a
01:29:50.100
film in the past i think they may well have spent some of the budget in a similar way to the us
01:29:55.700
intelligence agencies on large mounds of cocaine umar finishes off by saying if cosplay porn parodies
01:30:04.180
and youtube fan projects put out better costumes choreography and set designs people need to start
01:30:08.820
asking questions absolutely they do um but i think we know the answers to it already and with that we're
01:30:14.500
out of time join us again our gold to viewers in about half an hour so that you can speak to myself
01:30:21.140
stelios maybe beau i'm unsure now i thought it was just you're unlucky it could be me if you're
01:30:27.140
unlucky you might end up speaking to josh don't want to talk to me terrible uh for all of everybody
01:30:32.580
else we'll be back again at the beginning of next week so thank you very much for watching we'll see you
