I am being patronizing. I don't know who the fuck you are. And you're over here chirping all the way from fucking London about you want a fucking free pettus fawn, but also simultaneous. You're talking about both sides are fucking fine. Shut the fuck up. You don't know anything. Okay?
Who the fuck is this pink haired twink?
Chubby. Chubby. Chubby. Chubby. Chubby. Chubby. Chubby. Chubby.
I
Do you not understand the English language
What's going on everybody everyone's having fantastic evening afternoon prenoon no matter where you are in the world on the Sunpiper in
This awesome. I brought guys coming to you live
from
Galumi cloudy cold California Los Angeles folks were alive and alive on stolen land
We're live. We're alive and I hope all the boys girls and Emmys are having a fantastic one because today's a beautiful day today's a wonderful day today
is nevertheless another day. It's December 30th, 2025 is Tuesday and I know I'm not
allowed to say that it's actually, I'm not allowed to say that it's actually cold
here in normally sunny California Los Angeles because it's significantly
colder everywhere else. No fit check again, shake in my head. Yeah, no fit
check because there's nothing to check. I'm wearing the blowback merchandise
promoting their new season. I just got it in the mail. Who's your Turk of the year, Jerk of the year,
Kirk of the year. Yeah, we'll do all of that today. We'll do some like worst tweets of the year. I
want to do like my worst, my worst controversies of the year, that type of shit, you know what I
mean, end of the year dramas, other people's dramas, my own dramas, that kind of thing.
but we'll do that in a little bit.
Turg of the year, Jurg of the year is so funny though.
Um, that's, that's TYT, right? TYT used to do it like that. Anyway.
I thought it was a proddy at first glance. No.
This is for, this is blowback new season.
Um, happy birthday to our glorious King Lebron. Of course, as always.
Can we listen to Turkish Sabrina Carpenter?
Sabriya Dora Machu Marra.
This is so amazing.
this is like, this is unlocking new memories in my brain. Like this is unlocking old memories in
my brain that I forgot existed. Like this is arabesque music. For those of you don't know,
it's ironic because it's like it literally means arabesque. But it's a turkish genre of music,
right? That is obviously arab influence, heavily arab influence. And it works with a lot of
different songs because you can just kind of convert everything into a into a
Turkish arabesque song pretty much it makes it better
It's this song!
Oh my god, it's literally Turkish. It's actually Turkish too.
Okay, this is a banger.
I'm sorry, someone responded to it. Someone asked me a question in English and I responded
automatically in Turkish. Yes, it does make sense. Okay, it does. It does make sense.
Like the lyrics do make sense. Yes, it's basically like a like a direct translation
I think that's one of the first times I've ever had a brain fart where like I had to swap too quickly between English and Turkish and
Just Turkish came out sometimes it happens when I'm around my when I'm around my family
And if like a friend is visiting or something and I'm like talking to them right after talking to my dad or my mom or something
I'll just like
Immediately start talking to them in Turkish without even realizing I'm doing that anyway, but yeah
Also, Sabriye is a Turkish name, I guess is not a very common one, but they
They Turkified her name as well, right? And Carpenter, they turned to Dora Maje, which
is literally the most insane translation. I feel like there's a, Marangoz is an easier
word for it. I don't know why they chose, there's a different word for it. Like Dora
Maje is a word that I have not really heard at all, commonly utilized in Turkish
And I don't know why they didn't use like the much easier word like the much more common word that people will use for
for carpenter, but
Yeah
You listen to the new Louisie track. No, what's the literal meaning go to much? It just means carpenter, but like I think it means carbon
I've never even
Anyway, it's just
That's cool. All right. Anyway, personal news was part of the broadcast where I tell you about my personal
News about what's going on in the world of us on Hassanabe plaker and honestly, I'm feeling I'm feeling myself
Went to the doctor
What are the doctors morning I went to I went to sleep last night hung out with the fan watched fallout
Episode one again. Just so my brother can watch it and then watch the second episode and
And honestly, it's just not hitting as hard as the first season was for some reason, I don't want to I don't want to be a hater on it because like I'm super stoked on it still because it still has like obviously my go waltz and Gogg is like, it has, it just has such a fantastic cast.
like you can't have what's his name Kyle Kyle Lachlan or Kyle McLachlan Kyle
McLachlan and also I keep messing up their names with Walton Goggins and
Kyle McLachlan and also on top of that it's like built on a really good really
solid, uh, Lord dense foundation. Uh, and you know, it's just cause the OG baby girl
man. Yeah. Kyle, obviously is the, is the baby girl. If I'd is the most baby girl man
in America in perpetuity. He's like one of those guys. I don't know. I mean, he's just
such a, he is such an incredible actor. Obviously. I mean, he is, he's the man dude. He's
He's the man. You watch Twin Peaks. You watch any, you watch any Lynch. You watch any David
Lynch and you will be, you will instantly fall in love with Kyle McLaughlin just like
he did, you know? You get why? He's just great. Oh, Timmy Chalamet. Fuck no, that
is not a comparison at all. Are you kidding me?
At first of all, I don't think, no, Timothy Chalamet is like, has the, I would say
opposite career of Kyle McLaughlin, where Kyle is like insta-locked on David Lynch who
makes art movies that are hard to comprehend and will be studied in school. Whereas I guess
the only comparison is that they both did Dune, but it's really interesting because like David
Lynch's Dune is considered to be insane and somewhat of a flop as a matter of fact. I personally
enjoyed it, but I mean, it's just so, it's, it's his least favorite of all of the movies
that he's ever made and there's a good reason for it.
I'm not going to dive into the doing stuff like, but there was a lot of studio.
There were a lot of studios.
Anyway, rest in peace.
David Lynch, obviously, one of the greats, but that was, I think, the last time he
ever, he, that was the last time he said he would ever allow someone else to have
a final say like the final edit approval can we talk movies all stream no
because we got Lamar art movies can you explain to us music listening in case
you are not an alien I don't really listen to a lot of music but I do watch a
lot of movies like I think you guys know this already I watch a shit ton of
movies so it's not even a thing I watch a shit ton of movies I watch a
shit ton. I watch cinema, but then I also, I watch film, but then I also watch bubblegum
shit too. So I don't have a letterbox. No, I will not be getting a letterbox. I still
have yet to see Marty Supreme. I'm very excited. Can we go watch no other choice together March?
Why don't we watch freaking? What do you call? I mean, I'm down to watch no other choice,
but why don't we watch Marty Supreme as well? I want to watch Marty Supreme. I
I do want to watch No Other Choice as well, but in any case, can I take a selfie while
you sleep?
Yeah, it's crazy, it's crazy that she did that to me.
She flicked me up.
Yeah, she flicked me up, has messed up.
Where's the dog?
She's on a walk.
Okay.
I
Where was I where was I where was I where was I what was I talking about?
Um, oh personal news wise. Yeah fallout like I said
Hey, it's not I like your takes on things you play the grift game, but I get the impression. You're an honest dude power on
Thank you. I don't know why you say I played the grift game, but like McGriff don't ban the guy
He said he likes my takes
That's crazy
I'm banning him
Lake McGrew is a sniper today. He's got the sniper out
I
Don't play any games. I don't even
I don't even
Play video games really all that much on the broadcast. Okay, so
Yeah, we got Lake the new laptop and he's already cracking. He's already
He's already going crazy mode. Anyway, so
Where was I where was I where was I talking about? Oh, yeah personal news wise
Went to the gym again
This morning I've changed.
I went to the doctor first.
I went to the doctor.
I showed the doctor my leg and he was in awe.
He still thinks I might need to do another,
fuck I shouldn't be telling this to the chat
because you guys are gonna get webMD on my ass,
but he thinks I should probably get another scan,
get another look at it,
because like, you know, he was like,
damn this shit is fucked up.
Yeah, amputation, but it's fine.
Like I can walk on it.
It's, it's fine.
I can walk on it, but like I have, it doesn't look that bad anymore.
It doesn't look anywhere near as bad as it did, but it's still tender to touch
two weeks out from, um, you know, two weeks out from, from the actual
date of injury.
Um, so I don't know.
Um, I'm, I'm able to walk on it though.
So that's good.
and I am walking on it and I also did go to the gym afterwards.
I've changed my split to a everyday split.
It's everyday and I feel pretty good about it.
I'm excited to continue doing that.
You have health insurance?
Of course I have health insurance.
I'm a 34 year old and I'm one of the only adults on this God damn platform.
So yes, of course I have health insurance.
In any case, in any case, um, uh, you're, you're just a show on the, I've had a sprain
that took nine weeks to heal.
I mean, healing is, is one thing like full, full recovery is one thing, um, but like
being tender to touch is another.
In any case, maybe I'm just, what is this?
Maybe I'm just too woke.
Why are you too woke?
Sign the pledge to boycott Microsoft's Xbox?
Yeah, I've been boycotting it by not purchasing an Xbox or any gaming hardware.
By the way, I literally know the girl you reposted on Twitter.
My mom used to be one of her teachers.
Oh, this girl, Iliana Golden.
Yeah, I'm annoyed with that.
Cam went to, Cam went to the West Bank, occupied Palestine, right?
Cam, who's running for office right now, friend of the show, Cam Kasky.
And he kept it, he kept it on the deal. He went out there. He didn't actually talk about
it before he went out there. I was obviously in contact with him. I was talking to him about
it, but, um, but, um, basically I don't trust him. I don't know. You're fucking crazy.
It's kind of funny to say that about him because he's like very publicly went through
this transformation in real time. He's another one of those guys who's just like, he's
He's all in, you know, there's still, there is still always more room for development and
growth, but he is, he is, you know, he is wonderful in any case, in any case, not trusting someone
doesn't mean they can't be usually, yeah, but you don't trust them for, for what you
don't think he's like an actual bad empanada shitting on camber going to
going through Israel so just be prepared all the crousty fans yes you're right
the ethical way to the ethical way to approach occupied Palestinian territory
is by you know going through the tunnel system which doesn't even exist
anymore who gives a fuck about what bad empanada has to say man shut up like
Like Cam is so with it, Cam is so with it that he's like,
he's been, he is squirrel certified.
Okay.
Like Jesus Christ.
Even the BDS committee recommends
against traveling through Israel.
He should have crossed from Jordan.
This doesn't make me a bad empanada fan though.
Yeah, it doesn't matter.
You still have to go through Israeli border control.
Like there's a reason why I don't go
to the West Bank, for example.
You wanna know why?
I don't go to the West Bank
because I don't think I'll be able to get in
because there's no way to get into Occupy Palestinian territory
without Israeli checkpoints, okay?
Hold on, what was I gonna say?
But Jordan is basically Israeli border control. No, no, there's, there's the Jordanian border control, but then there's also the Israeli border control beyond that as well. So, yeah, you are much more likely to get turned away by Israeli forces coming in from Jordan in the state of Israel as far as government has in reason years has changed.
has in recent years and changes positively far more intense keeping critics out. The only
democracy in the Middle East continues, uh, keeping it real. Yeah. Uh, Nick Shirley type
creators are multiplying. I mean, these guys are all over the, these guys have always existed.
They're just getting, uh, uh, crazier and crazier. We'll talk about all that. But yeah,
that's it. Personal news was like I said, I, I changed my split. So I'm doing a
upper body push. Uh, today I did upper body pull. It actually has been pretty
good on my pack as well and um what else what else what else what else
um
yeah
Everyone is trying to, my family is trying to have a combo with me, it's all good, alright.
The problem I have with him is in the border control, it's that yes, but by going to the
Tel Aviv he supports the airlines, the airport, hospitality industry, his fear is not the
checkpoint plus there is no evidence of them denying entry in the West Bank through
Jordan.
Okay dude, I don't care, I don't care, yes dude, he also flew through the American
uh airplanes too and through an american uh through an american airport too okay yes yes
he's not perfect i know um please remove slime from the title we are gatekeeping in 2026 and
this didn't get approval no i'm saying that um hey bro can you give us a mule for a moxake
Anyway, um, okay, why don't you think about that chatter when you decided to visit Pasadenae's?
No, it's just I'm not gonna get into this argument. It's just so it's so irrelevant. Okay.
Any advice to the big boys in the chat trying to get in the gym?
Should we start out weightlifting or focus on cardio?
Start little by little.
Start little by little.
OK, OK, OK, OK, OK.
Let's lock in.
And by that, I mean, I need to lock in.
I'm just on lockdown for no reason,
getting bogged down from the chat.
And I am going to blast off real quick.
OK, we got a lot going on today, but also not really.
I'm in a show hole, Chatters. I'm in a show hole and I hate it. There's literally nothing.
There's nothing good. I have a list of movies that I want to watch and rewatch as well.
Young Marks, young Karl Marks, one of them. I want to watch the both of the motor cycle
guys in the second one too. There's a bunch of different movies that I want to, I want
to get into because like there is really nothing going on dude. There's no new
stuff is holiday season. Holiday Hossie is having a hard time.
Okay, Marjorie Taylor getting nearer times. Alts, Trump for protecting his friends on
Epstein. Okay, everybody stop spamming shows that you want me to watch. Did Ukraine try
a slime putler. Taiwan tensions question mark question mark question mark. Um, red pill
looks Maxers. Don't want JD Vance. Call him fat. Holiday Hossie. Get get in now. Are
Are you going to talk about Yemen?
Why?
What's going on in Yemen?
Um, I saw on a whale just came in and dumped a shitload of money.
I promise you these are two minutes apart.
What is this?
Who will attend Zoramumdani's swearing in ceremony?
What the fuck it just got updated who's betting yes Lamal?
Wait it went from 11% to 47% or it went from or it went from it went down it went from
11 to 42 or did it go from 42% to 11% wait you told him you're swearing him in I
thought that was a secret mark shut the fuck up I hate this shit so much I
actually hate this shit what the hell oh my god it went up to 47% bro this
This shit sucks so bad.
This shit is so dumb, please stop.
I don't even want to entertain it.
I don't even want to look at it.
Okay, I don't want you guys to fucking make stupid bets as well.
Anyway, how do we incorporate being fat into JD Vance's name?
Maybe JD can't fit in his pants?
Yeah, that's one way to do it.
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
Do we have a blast off game chatters?
Saudi bombed a UAE ship in southern Yemen,
so the two bad people are fighting?
Oh, I did know that, yes.
Well, a couple days ago,
Anselaulah government said that it's giving the clear,
the all clear, the AOK to the Saudi government
for bombing the UAE.
the UAE affiliates in Yemen and I don't even know what kind of you know little
scheming wheeling and dealing they're doing over there but yeah the Saudi and
the UAE forces are fighting one another in Yemen and and I guess the UAE is
leaving Yemen it just announced nice
wow
after non-stop depressing news can we do some good news your yearly dose of
good news. Is there good news in the United States of America?
Um, I don't know. Asman has new vids of you, but dot, dot, dot. Okay. I mean, he does it
every day. What else is new? I think it should be. Yeah, breaking news. Asmongold, just
like every other day has done another video on your boy. And I'm sure it's about it's a
totally fair and totally balanced. And definitely not lying about my positions and then having
the dumbest people on the planet excited getting the dumbest people on the planet excited
about a position that I do not hold. Anyway, do we have a blast off me or not chat because
Because if not I'm gonna find some other shit.
No blast off.
Year end gaming?
Sure.
Do you stop mentioning him when Chata's bringing up his streams to get a lot more boring trust?
I don't think so.
I think he's gonna keep doing what he's been doing non-stop, cuz there's a big point.
There's a big chunk of time where I don't actually mention him at all and he still
has his stop at all.
He still fucking keeps going.
Okay, no blast off meme.
Alright, I'll find it myself.
God damn it.
Fuck it, wee ball, you know?
um here
Meta bought a chinese ad company called Manus
I don't believe you for a second about gaming
Okay boom
Okay
Manus is an agent and I can do stuff on your computer for you great
Love that
My anus
All right, we're blasting over blasting over blasting over letting the people know we're alive
We're alive. We're letting the people know we're live and alive. Let's go. Let's go
Okay, so if he acts the same regardless then could we at least be safe from hearing about him
I think you drastically underestimate how many days in a row you mentioned him
No, of course I mentioned him all the fucking time he
chatter
He had a certain point you have to recognize that this is like, you know one of the bigger
content creators on the right
It's gonna it's like there's a reason why I don't mention Ben Shapiro anymore as much, right?
I know you want to feel like a fucking adult and you feel like it's it's nasty. You feel like it's kind of dirty
Feel like it's kind of silly. It's kind of drama laden
To have a conversation about whatever the fuck like a dude who doesn't leave his house has to say but unfortunately
There's a lot of dudes that don't leave their houses who actually treat him like a fucking god
The reason why I've been mentioning Ben Shapiro quite a bit as of late is because his falloff has become
His falloff has become newsworthy in and of itself, right?
and that's part of the reason why I've been mentioning Benchaburro more frequently,
but there is a massive amount of time where I did not mention Benchaburro,
and that's because he has no relevance, no emotion, basically dead.
You know.
Real question besides the stance on immigration, how's Asman on the right?
He's for taxing rich people much more in universal health care.
He's super anti-trans, like, I mean, he is incredibly socially conservative, and I don't
really know how aggressive his interest is in terms of like free healthcare and whatnot.
But once again, he is extremely, extremely leaning into the same deflections that right-wingers
use in an effort not to get any of these things across, right?
Because the way I cover the shit all the time, the way I cover the shit all the time is like,
a lot of this stuff is a red herring, okay?
A lot of this stuff is a red herring, like, oh yeah, I want to fucking, I want to tax
the rich too.
I want healthcare as well.
Maybe he does.
Maybe he truly does.
And maybe he doesn't understand that when he's advocating for those things, but then
simultaneously spending most of his time talking about like how immigrants are stealing
immigrants are stealing that, and we need to purge the American boundaries off of all
of these unwashed immigrant masses that are parasitic, blah, blah, blah. What he's doing
is spending a good deal of time making people laser focus on a group of individuals that
actually don't do any of the things that he's saying, and that's what it is, right?
Even from a, not from a moralizing perspective about like, oh, immigrants are our neighbors.
they're human beings too
uh... and it's immoral to fucking shit on them and lie on their names all the
time especially the time when the administration is using them as a
cudgel
and consistently fucking doing harm to them
uh... even from a pure
logical perspective
any amount of time you spend
uh... alongside this administration making it seem as though uh... you know
migrants undocumented documented alike are actually hurting this country
is a moment where you are leaning into the propaganda of the administration
And as we have seen before, national socialism
is not real socialism, it's just nationalism.
That's what the Nazis did, so.
But that's what it is.
This is all just professional wrestling for dipshits.
What is this?
Declare's war on Candace Owens and those who support her. Oh my God, my goat. My goat, dude. He's doing it
Sad news for all the big guys out there
Nicola Yelkich has been diagnosed with a hyper extension is left knee and will miss at least four weeks and immense
I relieve us to show the three-time NBA MVP's knee ligaments are intact. Yeah, that's crazy
I've been I've been in that situation before it's a it's it's shocking because I feel like
I mean, it could have been much worse, but it also is kind of shocking because it's like
how much movement does Yochich actually engage in, that you ever find yourself undocumented?
You mean parasites?
FTFY, you're calling illegally immigrants undocumented to make it seem palatable when
you really should upscale.
They're net negative contributors to us society.
Another name for that is parasite.
Brother, I'm gonna keep it a buck 50. I'm gonna keep it very honest with you. Um, the the
Any undocumented immigrant is more worthwhile than you are as a person. Okay immigrants are stealing shit. All the stuff is cope
It's just cope
It's sad it's pathetic it's just cope. They literally have the same interests as you do
There is nothing different about them than you. As a matter of fact, they're
exploded even more than you, but they are massive contributors to America, and
America would not be the country that it is without migrants, okay? And the only
difference between an undocumented migrant and a documented one is just a
piece of paper, okay? It's documentation, and that's the reason why I say
undocumented migrant. But you know what, keep doing it really, how many of
have been here for more than 12 months and have made zero effort to learn English. Brother,
you only speak one language and you still barely have any command over it. And you're over here
talking shit about people that are once again, coming into the country and doing their very,
doing their very best to improve the country. Okay. They're taking on jobs that you're not
going to take for price points that you're never going to fucking, you're never going
going to take on those jobs for and the real problem there is that we have to document them
so that they can actually get higher wages so that everyone can have higher wages in general.
But people like yourself think mass deportations are going to somehow magically solve the issue,
but they will not. And they have not. As you've noticed, they have not done that at all.
Mass deportations have not actually solved any of the economic issues that you're experiencing.
And it's pretty funny to be like, they're illegal.
This is one of my favorite things that right-wingers do for the record, where they think it's like
magic words, right?
This is the opposite side of, this is the opposite side of like social justice warriors
who want to sanitize language.
Social justice warriors, people on the left, people who are liberal, people who are
progressive want to sanitize language, they want to make it clinical, they will
get mad at you if you say homeless instead of like one devoid of house or, or something
like that, right? They'll be like, why would you not say unhoused? You should say unhoused.
And there's some truth to like, uh, language normalizing certain, uh, aspects of, of dehumanization.
Right? But this is the opposite version of that. People on the right do the exact
same thing where they think if you just keep calling them illegals, all of a sudden
it's going to magically solve whatever problem you think it's going to solve. Like,
Donald Trump used to do this during COVID where he was like Wuhan flu and he just kept saying Wuhan flu over and over and over again as
Though like when he says Wuhan flu all of a sudden COVID is just like stopping dead in his tracks
It's not going to fucking spread anymore. Thank God
They called it the kung flu or the Wuhan flu or the China virus all of a sudden everything is good now
It's not just fucking focused on solving these goddamn issues for once. I speak to nice cope
I also spent years cleaning up hazardous waste for living and worked my way up to six figures. I love my life
I'm not trying to do another culture without a simulating a brother. You can't even type you can't even spell a simulation
You understand that like you have one language and you have no command over it
They got to sometimes three
Okay, and in any case I wasn't even talking about how much money you make right now
Who gives a fuck I you can make all the money on the planet and still be a fucking dumb asshole
Which seemingly you kind of are?
I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you that you worked your way up cleaning up hazardous ways for a living and now
You got six figures and stuff. It's great. I don't care what anyone's from if you come over live come here to live off
Our welfare. That's not acceptable. It's not a race thing. Oh my lord
Yes undocumented migrants are both stealing the jobs and they're also stealing the welfare which seemingly is bountiful
Okay, I know I got it. You're you're totally correct. It's both of those things at the same time
They're both stealing the jobs and they're stealing the welfare. You got it
Except undocumented migrants can't even get welfare. So I don't know what the fuck you're talking about
There is not a single piece of evidence that
that even Ramoli entertains this notion, this hysterical notion that undocumented migrants are actually stealing welfare.
That's not a real thing. What you are talking about, I assume, is the Somali Americans or American citizens for the record
that got caught doing a fucking welfare fraud scheme, okay?
And if you think that is indicative of all migrants in the United States of America, you're out of your fucking mind.
Anyway, I should have think global warming is caused by the rise of these mouth breathers.
I don't think so.
Maybe I like that theory.
So brother, you don't have to make arguments for these dipshits.
Just leave them be.
My friends, for years and years and years, I have encountered these kinds of idiotic
arguments. And for years, I have addressed them every single time they've come up. And
the reason why I do that is because it's not for that one person who will have his mind
changed on the spot. The reason why I do that is for all the people that are in the
margins who might actually have suspicions that this is the case, right? You never
know who's actually tuning in at any given moment to the broadcast. And it is my job,
I think, or it's my primary responsibility to educate people to help them realize
that they've been lied to, that they've been duped to, to unlock their consciousness, to
open their minds, and I will continue doing that. Okay? What is this? DC? What? Discord?
Why? What? What is happening? What is happening?
I don't know anyway. Let's move on. Um, what was I going to do? Oh, there's the yearly
dose of good news. We'll cover that obviously. Um, that's it. I've done my, I've done my
personal news. But yeah, Cam
Kasky, thank you for the children have drawn in
Palestine for teaching me how to ball.
This is the whitest thing ever. Yeah, playing
football is the whitest thing ever. I mean, there's
plenty of whites out there.
Who do also love playing football after Saudi
Arabia bombed an Emirati weapons shipment to
South Yemeni separate is the Saudi back Yemeni
government has canceled its defense agreement with
UAE and his president is demanding its forces leave Yemen within 24 hours. And it seems like
the UAE's forces have announced that they are leaving. They're leaving their ambition
in Yemen, which is good. I don't know what they're cooking up. I don't know where this
will go. But it kind of feels like it kind of feels like it's going somewhere positive.
You know, I don't trust the Saudis, but at least in this circumstance, it seems like
they're moving in a good direction. So who knows? Oh, there's also something that's going
on with the Chinese, with the youth in China. They are becoming increasingly more Maoist.
I wonder if this video will actually cover that. I don't know if you guys know this,
but like Mao's birthday, you know, I think it's what the 26, right? I forget. But on
Mao's birthday, they were in Tiananmen Square. They were going crazy saying that we got
We got to reinstate Mao's thought.
Yes, the Chinese youths are straight up going full blown, full tilt.
We got to bring it back.
We got to bring back Maoism.
I mean, or I guess in China, this is a really unique thing.
I've been watching this from afar for a while.
This has been brewing up for a while.
The youth in, so in China, obviously, you know, hyping up Mao, doors open, goddammit.
All right.
In China, in China, you can always hype up Mao, right?
It's almost like, doors open, doors open.
Okay, in China, you can talk positively about all of the formative leaders, right?
program out as well. But in China, you can talk positively about all the, all the formative
leaders of, of, of the Chinese state historically in the, in the people's Republic of China, obviously.
And, and for that, for that reason, like they can go even overboard with how much they
love Mao Zedong. And the Chinese government can actually like put some serious sensors
on it. Otherwise they would look like they're anti-mound. They can't do that. So it's
one of those things were like a lot of these dudes are a lot of the youth in
China are going no like we want even more we want even more
we must say more to guys and then mouse a dong thought
more deeply to maintain the correct path
Comrades, cast away illusions and prepare for a struggle.
Comrades, carry on the revolution and never surrender.
Can't that be considered their brand of conservatism?
No, I don't think it's a brand of conservatism at all.
But it's a really interesting thing.
I watched recently the one-time video about the Red Guard and the Cultural Revolution
which was both scary, fascinating, and inspiring.
Should we watch about it on your stream someday?
I have watched it before.
I have a, I think I have a more critical, I mean, I guess one dime is even more critical
than I am, but you know, there was a lot of issues with the cultural evolution and specifically
the red guard.
It got like, if you think, if you think dish chat is fucking annoying at times about
being woke, think about that, but militant.
Okay.
Think about, think about when woke goes wrong.
Okay.
woke goes wrong and gets out of hand, like I'm not a reactionary by any means, but that
was absolutely a somewhat decentralized, dare I say almost anarchist style hyper woke movement
that definitely, that definitely got way, way, way fucking out of hand. And it almost
turned, um, Marxist, Leninist or Maoist thought into this like dogmatic approach. Um, I think
in a weird and unique way, this, uh, this thing that others might even consider mass hysteria.
I think most people consider mass hysteria might have had positive, uh, might have had,
uh, positive repercussions down the line. But at the time it was fucking insane. You know what
I mean? It's like, it's one of those situations where it's, it's virtually
you're a, I'm a dingus reactionary. Come on. Come on. Come on. I have a very, I have a
very Chinese approach. Okay. Don't make me, don't make me say the same, uh, the, the bun
analogy over and over again. Okay. Without Mao, there's no dang. Okay. Without dang, there's
no she. You can't just, uh, you know, you can't just sit down and eat the fifth
bun and assume, oh, after the first bun, the second bun, the third bun and the fourth bun,
it is the fifth bun that made me no longer hungry. I should have just skipped to the fifth bun
and it would have satiated my appetite. It doesn't work that way. Okay.
Different times required, different times required different leadership and different
leadership, you know, made the right moves. There was also some wrong moves as well.
But yeah, basically, cultural revolution was definitely not the best time, very scary time
in general. And I would say that this right here is not going to harken back to like the
Red Guard or anything like that. I don't think, but I wonder what the reason is,
I may be the youth unemployment and the lack of opportunity because the youth unemployment
is pretty high in China as well.
Maybe that's the reason why they're also frustrated, right?
Law, you're too much against woke while doing it pull before young white men is the only
thing I hate the most with you.
I don't.
I do far more identity politics for non white people.
I think you are insane for saying that.
That is insane.
That is an insane assessment.
Anyway.
Oh, God, I fucking hate this shit so much.
They saw your clip doing Trump glazing malimpression.
Anyway, I do wonder why I do wonder where this comes from.
Like this attitude comes from.
I suspect it might have a little bit to do with like the Eulon employment potentially.
I don't know.
It is happening again on Chinese social media
that I thought this group had faded out
and they were quiet for a week, maybe two.
And then suddenly they are back louder than before.
And the people pushing what's called the 1644 historic narrative are trending again.
In simple terms, they argue that everything went wrong the moment the Qing dynasty took
power and that modern China is still suffering from the original wound.
So the more I watch them, the more they remind me of something familiar to Americans.
They are basically China's version of mega.
Yes, I talked about that before, right?
And not in policy, say.
What's your genuine take on dang just curious?
I have, I like, I like dang.
I have no issues with, with dang.
Why would I have any issues with dang?
i like modern china
and without
without some of the uh... tests that took place in terms of like uh... special
economic zones and like opening up
uh... to foreign capital modern china would not be where it's at currently
china was able to make itself an irreplaceable force
but also pasting
if it wasn't for she's reforms in terms of identifying corruption
and eradicating
the uh... the power
was brewing within the party system with some of the elites, okay, without that, and if it
was just like pure reform and pure liberalization, I think that the power of capital would have
inevitably overtaken the power of the party.
The power of the party is obviously only as powerful as the people and abiding by
the wishes of the people.
So I think, you know, a little, I'm a revisionist myself.
So of course I'm not going to see, here we go, social imperialist China.
I love revisionism.
Brother, have you built communism anywhere?
No, shut the fuck up.
Okay.
I hate this narrative, dude.
We're American.
The fuck are you talking about?
We are literally living in the fucking heart of the imperial core.
We're all a bunch of little treatlerites and you're over here talking about like
a billion point four country
that is doing whatever version of of the building companies and that they're
doing and you're like not it's not fucking good enough for me okay you
build it then
have you built communism stop fucking larking shut the fuck up
i'm not saying that their socialist or i'm not saying that they're communist
or anything like that they're not they're objectively not
communist okay it is a transitional socialist state
It is their version of Marxist-Leninist principles being applied with Chinese characteristics,
is socialism with Chinese characteristics.
That's the way that they describe it.
I have no reason to assume that there is some kind of, like, secret, there is some kind
of like, like, secret reason as to why they're holding on to this fucking thing when
clearly is if their goal was to be seen as like a normal liberal country,
they would have dropped the communism shit far longer than, I mean, a very long time ago.
They would have just been like, we're not coming if the fuck are you talking about?
Like, what do you think? You think people give a shit? You think the Chinese government
doesn't understand that like, if they were to drop this socialism shit that like,
like they wouldn't be seen more favorably by the West if their goal is to, if their goal
is to be a, you know, a part of the global capital marketplace without making any sort
of a sincere transition towards a socialist form of governance or a communist government
at the end of the, at the end of the day, then, you know, why the fuck are they still
doing that? Why would they do that? Why couldn't they just turn around and be like, no,
We're not, we're not communists anymore.
Not that it really matters. I mean look at Russia.
They don't give a fuck. People still say Russia is communist for some reason.
But then also people who are pro-Russia also say Russia is communist for some reason. I don't know.
but in psychological one their message is emotional and identity driving what do you
want the power of the capital is to go because imperialism may make the Han people great again
That sounds familiar, right?
And what worries me is not whether their history is right or wrong.
There is zero percent chance that the Chinese government, as it works or historically, the
Chinese Communist Party will allow any sort of fucking sentiment such as like Han supremacy
to foment.
I know this is the worst place to say it in the West.
If I were to say that in the West, people will go, what the fuck are you talking about?
They honify everything.
No, they have had longstanding affirmative action provisions far before, far before we
ever even considered shit like that.
I don't think that they would ever, I don't think that they would ever fucking allow
that kind of, that kind of, of cessationist activity to take root because it would
It would ultimately, it would ultimately threaten the power of the party.
Not because like, yeah, not because they're like fucking super woke or anything, even
though their policies are fairly woke, like they have a lot of affirmative action policies
and shit.
But ultimately, I don't think that they would let like any sort of Haas supremacist
attitude to be fomented.
I mean, I don't even know if they like the whole,
we really love Mao movement that's going on amongst the youth.
So who knows?
I mean, but this is like super,
this is super deep dive shit.
We're having a conversation that's like a million layers deep
about the details of like Chinese domestic affairs.
But it is pretty funny that I used to make a,
Like I made I had a bit about how pecking like my Hank pecker character
But Chinese and it seems there is a version of that and I actually did encounter the version of that when I was literally in China
Where we were around a bunch of we were above we were around a bunch of I forget it was a minority group, right?
they were not Han and
and
Basically what I was told is like you can't do anything they someone came up to me and basically said like you can't do anything to the minority groups
Because the government will protect them no matter what so even if they like start trouble and and their gangsters these gangster use
Even if they start trouble you can't actually say anything to them because the cops will always side with them over the Han people
So I did actually I did actually encounter that I never really talked about it, but it was very funny
me. Which is literally what hogs say in America. Isn't that fucking awesome? Anyway, some rich
individuals in China are utilizing this for their own interest sound familiar? Yeah, any
kind of like ethnic, ethnic supremacist values or, or any kind of cessationist theories
These are ideas will usually be stamped out pretty aggressively in China, okay, don't matter.
Yeah man, we're fucked, look at what our Gen Z is doing at this very moment.
Excuse me, our Gen Z is poppin'.
If he were Chad.
Well probably not, and here's why.
Good looking people experience something called the halo effect, so it's quite possible
that if Charlie were to be better looking, someone wouldn't have hated him enough
to assassinate him.
What happened to him is quite terrible, and this might be an insensitive video to make,
but I'm really trying to bring awareness to how brutal the black pill is.
Looks really are going to determine the quality of your life to a high degree, so if you're
not doing everything you get to maximize them, you're missing out.
The Chinese government does extensive propaganda every year on racial harmony within China.
We've had all 56 ethnic groups or one family message drilled in our heads since birth,
yeah.
This is something that you will never be able to explain to Americans because they think
like the Chinese government, they know that as like the Chinese government is always destroying
everybody else and they're honifying everything, they're honifying everyone, they're honifying
everyone.
Meanwhile, there is an element of like a cessationist movements that have historically taken
root within, you know, the long, the long history of China when it was a fucking, you know,
dynastic empire all the way, all the way to the, to the People's Republic of China.
And whenever that kind of stuff happens, they do take a very heavy hand, but also on
top of that, they are very aggressive.
They are very aggressive about making sure that everybody understands that we are all
one family, we're all one family, regardless of the ethnic background of another individual.
Yeah, that's just, I just don't think that they will move in that direction where they allow
any sort of supremacist attitudes to take root because I think that it threatens the power
that the government has in general.
They are, in some ways, you know how the conservatives think the American government is, like the
Democrats are.
Conservatives, like, claim the Democrats are, like, incredibly militant about being woke.
Both with the Cultural Revolution and also with long-standing policies around affirmative
action for ethnic minorities.
China is unironically like the way that the, China is in many ways kind of the meme that
the Democratic Party has been made out to be in the United States of America, like they
Do I actually do DEI at gunpoint if you will?
Anyway
That's also part of the reason why they like stamp out
They stamp out any sort of like cults as well. They're pretty aggressive with that. They're pretty
aggressive with like Christianity as well. There I would say more aggressive with Christianity.
Like people say Uighur Muslims, what about the Uighur Muslims? But like in terms of Muslims,
there are a fuck ton of Muslims in China, both in Xinjiang, but also all around China, right?
But, but, with Christianity, they're even more careful about Christianity.
They are even more hands-on with Christianity than they are with, with, with Muslims.
Like there are mosques everywhere in China, there are Muslims everywhere.
It's not just the Uyghurs that are Muslim in China.
There's, there's different, there's different peoples in China that are also Muslim, right?
But with the church, they are actually much more aggressive, yeah, the Huai Chinese.
Arabic script is actually so trippy. Throughout Chinese history, there's been two major Muslim ethnic groups.
First, there's the Turkic-speaking groups historically called Chuanhuai,
and so like an example of them today would be the Uyghur people in Xinjiang.
But then there's a separate group historically called Hanhuai who we're going to focus on today.
Han means Chinese, so these are ethnically Chinese Muslims who speak Chinese language.
Nowadays, they're often just called Huai people.
for hundreds of years they wrote their variety of Chinese with the Arabic script
specifically a form based off of written Persian and this is kind of crazy because the air
why are they wait someone asked me like why are they uh hyper focused on well uh the Christians I mean
think
think about why because while in the western world a lot of people say oh the muslims are very
well organized and they're actually infiltrating to destroy our our civilization, unironically
Christianity has been infinitely more organized throughout most of his history. Like Islam
was very organized initially, right? And there was obviously colonial conquest that took place,
but that was a very long time ago. Okay, and organized Islam or political Islam nowadays
is more often than not organized at the behest of the American State Department or Western intervention,
okay? Whereas organized Christianity is infinitely more organized, right? Organized Islam or political
Islam, like weaponized versions of Islam is usually what you know as like jihadists, ISIS,
Daesh, the Wahhabist sects that were promoted, and the Wahhabist sects that were given a
lot of organizational support by the Western world, by Western intelligence, backed up,
propped up by the CIA, propped up by the British first, right?
But outside of that, people are just, you know, they're just Muslim.
There is no like, there is not really a lot of proselytizing in the same way or in the
same degree as it works in Christianity.
And it's not like the CIA is shy about utilizing Christianity or Christian cults that they've
developed in places like Korea and places like Japan, as a matter of fact, in an
effort to infiltrate society, in an effort to make sure that they still have some
level of control. In China, Christianity has also led to a lot of incredible superviolence.
Yes, look up the Taipei Rebellion and you will see why they side-eye Christians. That's
another reason as to why. So they are way more aggressive in cracking down on Christianity
than they are with Islam. Uyghurs and Xinjiang are a totally separate story, of course.
That's not persecution because they're Muslim, that's persecution because there are Turkic
peoples in Xinjiang that had a cessationist movement, a separatist movement that wanted
to separate Xinjiang, which they call East Turkistan, right?
Not Taipei rebellion, Tai Ping rebellion, sorry.
And that was the reason why they had an incredibly heavy-handed approach in doing like the drag
nets, the fucking, what the Chinese government called vocational training, which wasn't vocational
training, which was reeducation camps, all this stuff, mass surveillance.
that in and of itself, that in and of itself was something that I have heavily criticized as well.
Of course, I think it's looking ridiculous. Um, they don't, it's, it's gone for the time being.
It's, it's done, uh, now, but, uh, but ultimately at the time when it was happening, there was a
lot of people that were greatly exaggerating what was going on, but it was already a fucking
completely unacceptable, uh, crackdown to begin with. And there are some people who are
massive china dick writers who will actually yell at me and say i'm doing
the bidding of the cia and doing cia propaganda
whenever i actually criticize the chinese government on this
but um that was a completely unacceptable and very inhumane approach
to what they uh what they considered a separatist movement that was very
dangerous they'll say oh there was a lot of widespread terror
taking place in china uh in the hands of these
separatist Uighur Muslims, and they would go around and like, you know, engage in like
mass stabbing incidents, things of that nature. And obviously that's a very Ameribrand approach,
in my opinion. Having said that, of course, having said that, that criticism, and part
of that is because the Uighur Muslims were also being trained. They're still in Syria,
For example, they have had their own version of like Salafis, Salafis we were Muslims trained
by the Turkish military and deployed in Syria, some of them go back to China, some of them
still try to reinstate a separatist movement.
And ultimately, they had incredibly, incredibly unacceptable crackdowns on all of that shit.
it, and there was an environment of mass surveillance and an environment of fear, and also a shit
ton of violence that took place. But it was not done on the boundaries of Islam in the
way that a lot of people claim. It was done specifically against Uighurs that all Uighurs
basically in practice, but the claim was it was just against the separatist
Uyghurs, okay?
China doesn't have morals like it's any like it's any other imperialist country?
No, that's not the same. I would say China doesn't have morals just like any
other nation-state in general. Okay, that's it.
nation states do not operate on morality, okay? They operate on self-preservation
and will oftentimes take a heavy-handed approach that is utterly unacceptable.
So, you can say it's unacceptable. What's the alternative to stopping those terrorist attacks
because China's method work the West counterterrorism methods are exponentially more destructive and murderous and they don't work
So what would you do to deal with it? Actually? It's a great question. I have I have brought this up before as a matter of fact
I've talked about this quite extensively
In comparison to obviously the Western approach, which is fomenting terrorism. They're not actually trying to eradicate terrorism
Let's be fucking real. There is no such thing as like Western counterterrorism. Okay. This is a lie
When the West says they're countering terrorism, what they actually mean is they're creating terrorism in an effort to later down the line engage in counterterrorism operations to destroy terrorism, which justifies their military intervention for imperialist conquest.
Okay, totally separate, totally, totally separate things.
In any case, doing dragnets, especially in an environment where there's already mass surveillance, is utterly unacceptable. Okay? That's it.
Having said that, as far as the greatest solution to any kind of separatist movement, the great vanilla ended you.
Oh no, when it almost ended me, the greatest approach to the greatest approach to working
on any kind of separatist movement is to make the deal so sweet that there is no reason to
do any sort of separatism whatsoever.
In any case, where was I?
What was I talking about?
I went through so many different things here.
Oh, let's get back to the Somalis, uh, Somaliapolis and we'll talk about Kam Kasky in the West Bank as well.
Um, because a lot of people are fucking losing their minds over it.
Uh, and, and getting mad about it too.
Chinchon is one of the fastest growing regions in China. I'd rather have that for them than a salafist.
They built out of Turkey, uh, Turkey is Tornus with Dream Law.
Do you dislike vanilla now that her and cutie are on the outs?
completely unfamiliar with what's going on here and this sounds like the most
parasocial shit anyone has ever fucking said I I have no issues with either of
these people and I think you need to literally take a deep breath and dial
it back a million what the fuck kind of parasocial nonsense is this brother
what are you talking about I love it a little maze I love QT y'all are being
fucking crazy
One of the things I always bring up when talking about Shinjana is, if Israel's method, if
Israel did what the Chinese state did to what they declared was like separatist Uighur Muslims,
if Israel did that to the Palestinians, the entire Western world would be, the entire
Western world would be talking about how fucking amazing the Israeli government is. They'd be like,
this is the greatest, most peaceful, most tolerant government of all time, okay?
This is something that I bring up all the time. There is no response to this because it's
completely true, okay? You need to understand. It is fucking insane.
The Western approach to what they consider counterterrorism is to foment terrorism and then do boots on the ground military invasions in an effort to enslave and entail the military.
entire local population, after killing most of them.
This still doesn't make the Chinese government's approach to Xinjiang appropriate.
And, you know, two things can be bad at the same time.
In any case,
It has always been funny though, to me, because like, the West, I know how the West sees Muslims.
I know how the West treats Muslims.
I am Muslim and I'm living in the West.
I know how the West sees the Chinese government.
I know how the West sees the Chinese people.
yet for some reason they love talking about Chinese Muslims as though they give a fuck
about the Chinese population or the Muslim population. Hmm, interesting.
I feel like if a lot of the Ancap brothers actually understood the Chinese state atheism,
They wouldn't be mad at it. It is oppressive and bad though. No, I think a lot of the abundants. I
Think if a lot of the abundants understood how what the Chinese government is doing they would be fucking massive
They would be massive dick writers
Okay, stare it up Albanian says Muslim who drinks each pork gets tattoos and other sins
You're Albanian
You're allowed to do whatever you want to do. Okay, Albania mentioned
Okay
Where was I I don't have any tattoos if you were talking about me
This is a common thread though my MAGA mom says that mom Donnie's gonna kill my LGBT friends. Yeah, it's very funny
Especially because MAGA wants to unironically
mega wants to unironically do that. But they want to do it Christian Christian style I guess.
Okay. Speaking of look Mem Danny, holy Toledo, let's take a look at Mem Danny entering the
office. Quite the popular dude. Let's take a look at mom Donnie's approval.
Get how New Yorkers, New York City folks are feeling about Zora Mondani.
Look at this, up like a rocket, higher and higher, as Jackie Wilson, a great singer used
to say, right?
I'm Donny's net favorable rating in New York City in September.
It was plus 14 points.
Look at where we are now, plus 38 points.
That's a climb.
If you do the math, quick me right, right with me right here, Sarah Siner, 38 minus
14.
That's a rise of 24 points in the positive direction.
As I said, up like a rocket, New York City voters have never felt better about
the man that they elected to lead this city come 2026 he is quite the popular
dude right now before governance that is often a thing right it's it's it's much
harder once you get in there I'm looking into 2026 Republicans were hoping
that Mondani would hurt Democrats statewide what what are you seeing when
it comes to that yeah okay so right now you know we're talking about the
honeymoon period right first around Mondani very much in the Jackie Gleason
state of mind. And another show that was based in New York City.
Net fair rating, let's look at New York State, right? You have New York City and then you
wind it out to New York State, right? A lot of Republican Statewide were hoping to run
against Zoramundan. But look at this, Zoramundani, plus 15 points on the net fair rating statewide.
That's I believe the highest it's ever been. The much bigger drag, the much bigger
drag is Donald Trump heading into 2026 Statewide. We're talking about, look at that, 30
points underwater. If Zoramundani were something, he'd be the empire state building.
way up there in the clouds in terms of popularity compared to other politicians in the state
of New York.
And Donald Trump, well, he would be like a garbage dump out on Staten Island.
Wow.
That's pretty strong words there.
That's a 45 point difference.
That's strong words, but you know what?
They're true words.
Waiting for the true social on that one.
All right.
One of the most controversial policies was Mamdani saying, I'm going to make New
York buses faster.
Dude, think about, like think about how bad American politics is that CNN, which is supposed
to be the communist news network is literally turning around and saying one of his most
controversial policies is fast and free buses. How can you read that as anything but antagonistic
to the working class, dude? I think it's pure cult to be like, well, it is controversial.
controversial because like it's hard to, you know, it's hard to push and maybe that's why they're talking about it.
It's like, it's controversial to who?
Ask every working class person, okay?
We have, let's say we have unlimited funds.
Do you want fast and free public transit?
They're going to say, yes.
Controversial to who?
Controversial to Ford.
Okay.
This is what I mean.
It's like, like controversial to the rich, I guess.
It's so stupid.
It's so ridiculous.
This is something that people need to pay attention to.
When you hear, when you, when I say there is this uniparty consensus when it comes to
certain things, issues that pertain to the working poor and their best interest, there
is a uniparty consensus on constantly telling you that this stuff is unachievable, constantly
telling you that this stuff is actually bad for you.
Things that are actually good for you, no, they're not good.
They're bad for you.
Remember that.
Okay.
But the keyword here, free.
How do New Yorkers feel about that part process?
This was a very controversial thing, right, Sarah Sinder?
Very controversial thing.
But look at this, New York City voters on free buses by taxing millionaires and
billionaires more. Look at this 50% supported in New York City compared to 41% who oppose
it. Now here's the key thing, right? We're talking about millionaires, billionaires,
the whole idea. Will there be this Russia billionaires to leave New York? Will there
be this rush? Well, take a look at the prediction market, the chance of eight or more billionaires
leaving New York City by the middle of next year. Look at that. It's just 21.
Oh my God, prediction markets suck my dick. God damn it. I hate this shit. Okay.
I hate the prediction market nonsense, but the reality of the matter is of course they're
not going to leave. Why would they leave? New York is already more expensive even before
this tax, okay? New York is significantly more expensive to live in than even before
this fucking tax would be implemented, right? And they still choose to live in New York.
Why? Because it's fucking New York City. This is what's so frustrating to me about
All of these conversations about like, oh, well, the wealthy will leave if we tax them more. It's like, first of all, there are mechanisms
around that. Okay. We can do an exit tax, for example. If you want to leave, you've got to fucking dump boatloads of the labor and the value that you secured
from this wonderful state before you leave, and we'll fucking slap your ass on the way out. Bye-bye. Okay.
That will force people to sit the fuck down and really reconsider whether they want to leave or not
But it won't even get to that point and the reason why I won't get to that point is because of course
They're not gonna leave. They want to be in New York. They want to be in Los Angeles. All right
It's just not happening the real problem is the working class leaves New York the working class leaves Los Angeles and
And we have to work on making sure that they don't have to leave.
And the reason why they leave New York and Los Angeles is because it's unaffordable.
Okay?
That's the problem.
It's unaffordable.
I also personally despise this narrative
that the wealthy hold our economy hostage at gunpoint. Okay? I despise that shit. Have
you ever heard of Austin, bro? Yeah, guess what? I have. They're going to move to Austin,
bro. Wake up. I have. They all hate it. The only person that still loves Austin is
Joe Rogan. Every single person that left to go to Austin actually made it worse
them what it was. Austin was one of the wokest parts of Texas, okay? It had his own little
like woke bubble. They came in, all the hogs came in from out of state and ruined it. Okay?
They unironically came in and they wanted to bring some of the, you know, some of
the elements of being in a liberal city, but they actually were also incredibly reactionary
and they ruined Austin. They made Austin worse.
And now they're all leaving Austin. They fucked it up. And now they're leaving.
That's one of the funniest aspects of this. Cause they still want to live in
Los Angeles. They still want to live in New York.
Ironically enough, if they had not moved to Austin and Austin just kind of
developed on its own,
it probably would have turned into another New York or maybe another Los
Angeles, but they came in and they fucked it up and they ruined Austin's
and they have a chance of
developing into its own little
thing.
These guys claim they hate
woke, but they love moving to
woke areas. I wonder why.
As someone
has lived in ATX for 14 years,
yeah, they made it worse, but I
wouldn't say they ruin it. Austin
is still one of the best cities in
the country to live in. I mean,
I personally don't like it, but
think Los Angeles is a real city and I grew up in cities my whole life. But yeah, these
guys love going to other woke areas in red states and then fucking it up because they
want to take the worst elements of conservatism and slam it into an area that is developing
on its own. Would you ever move to Austin? No. Um, yeah, the billionaires are openly discussing
primary and Ro Khanna, not realizing that this actually is a incredible campaign for Ro Khanna
for the record. I live California five years ago. I'm certainly not a billionaire, but the
ballot proposition that Ro Khanna is pushing to live via 5% well tax that is spending
California resource more efficiently is so offensive to the principles of innovation that he should be primaried
Yeah, Peter Thiel is leaving California
We pass a 1% tax on billionaires for five years to pay for health care for the working class facing steep Medicaid cuts
I echo what FDR said with sarcasm of economic royalism when they threaten to leave. I will miss them very much
That's the other thing that's the other thing people love eating off the previous
the, the previous implementation of social democracy in this fucking country, okay?
If you have any infrastructure whatsoever in your town, thank the New Deal, okay?
It is because America at a certain point had so much pressure from socialist trade unionist
communists alike that they had to respond to that pressure and the economic explosion
that took place in the Great Depression, and they had to do serious, centrally planned implementation
of social democracy, okay?
And we're still eating off of the royalties of that implementation, and it blows my fucking
mind that we don't even recognize it.
The other movement was obviously the fully centrally planned war economy that we had
to implement during World War II, okay?
Post World War II, we ate good off of that as well.
And yet, and yet, for some reason, people love the benefits and the bounties of socialization,
but they think they hate socialism.
And you hear it, Red Scare propaganda is so effective, has been so effective in undermining
kind of socialism in this country that you can have a straight up conversation. You can
have a long extended conversation with a co-worker of yours talking about, you know, oh, we gotta
get healthcare, man.
Isn't that wouldn't it be nice if we just like actually funded our schools instead
of like, you know, funding bombs overseas and they'll go, yeah, I agree. That's actually
a great idea. I agree. This is such a fantastic idea, right? But the moment that you
say, oh yeah, we should have socialized medicine. They go, whoa, I don't want that. The fuck do
you mean socialize? I hate that actually. It's the Obamacare ACA principle. You slap Obama
on to what they hate it. You talk about, do you like that healthcare providers can't
deny you coverage because of pre-existing conditions? They go, I love that. Do you
like that? Do you like that you can stay under your parents insurance until the
age of 26 they go I love that
slap the name Obama on it they go whoa I fucking hate that
I hate it
you can convince the average american no matter how right wing they are no matter
where they live
about
uh... how wonderful socialism would be as long as you never say social as long
as you don't slap social anywhere as long as you don't say socialism
anywhere in that conversation
it's crazy
And that is because, that is because,
people are insanely propagandized,
they don't realize it, they're just kinda dumb, okay?
I'm sorry, it's just the truth.
It's just the fucking truth.
We are the most propagandized people on the planet
and we think we're so fucking smart.
We think we're all free thinkers, okay?
The most propagandized amongst us,
unironically, assume that they are the most woke and the most tapped in and the most aware
of the propaganda when they're actually the least aware of the propaganda.
We're a nation of easily tricked adults.
Anyway, they hate socialism because they think they know what socialism is because they've
been told socialism is wrong, immoral, terrifying, and that there is no other alternative economic
organization of society that would work, and that propaganda still continues.
Do you find yourself falling for propaganda and snapping out of it?
I am the propaganda.
I mean, I'm sure there are, yeah, of course, no one is, no one is over it.
Like I am still very much susceptible to it as well.
There are biases that I have that I have to sometimes go back and think about and think
thoroughly on.
Okay.
So yeah, of course, I would say that for most of my life, and maybe this is because
of my Turkish background. I also, I too, although I was, you know, pro-Palestine, I also certainly
engaged in the, well, you know, Hamas or Islamist type narratives. Okay. Obviously, I didn't
lean too much into it. That didn't change my attitude on whether or not it was understandable
that people would fucking fight back against Israeli expansionist principles and, you
know, the, the, uh, you know, exterminationist, uh, ideology of Zionism, having said that,
however, having said that, there was still an element of restraint in my mind as well,
where I was like, I don't know. I don't know about this. You know, there are still plenty
of people who engage in this, especially in the West. You can have like socialist
people. You can have socialist people who will be like, Oh, I, well, I like the
the Palestinian resistance because of the PFLP or the DFLP, it's like, okay, who is the one
that's, you know, who is leading the resistance? It's still Hamas. Okay. Who brought the PFLP
and DFLP into play? It was Hamas. So, bro, I was reading a text from a few years ago
and it defined the picture of someone having a strong belief and said that Stalin killed
millions of people? Yeah, of course. So there is definitely, there is definitely an element
of dehumanization that that I had to work through myself personally. Okay. So that's
That's real.
Wrong word, but you know what?
They're true words.
Waiting for the true social on that one.
All right, one of the most controversial policies
was Mondani saying, I'm going to.
Hold on.
This is, we watched all this.
Campaign in Austin and I'll be in.
I'm not gonna come back next.
I'm gonna see you on the air tomorrow night.
I'm gonna see you on the air tomorrow night.
You'll be in Austin and I'll be in Purchart, Arizona.
Good times, nice and warm.
Stay with us, we'll be right back.
Mayor Memdani.
What's your answer to Stalin killed so many people,
millions of people?
Yeah, he also happened to kill a bunch of Nazis, you know?
It's not all bad.
There is definitely bad in there.
There's mismanagement.
There is a lot of the growing pains
of rapid industrialization going from an agrarian country.
There is a fuck ton.
But most people, I think, in spite of Stalin's deep paranoia,
especially post-World War II, would still, like most honest
assessors of Stalin's impact on history,
would have to recognize that in spite of the overt failures
of governance and the pain and deaths and mistakes that Stalin was a incredibly important
global leader.
And without, once again, Stalin or Mao or any number of these different people that people
point to the goal, like these guys are just as bad as Hitler, if not worse, like fucking
bullshit. Without them, you would not have seen the development it played in the USSR.
So there's good and then there's bad, okay? It's always how it is. And I, before people
say you're not consistent, you're not consistent on this principle, I say the same shit about
the fucking founding fathers too and they were slavers, okay? They were fucking slavers.
And guess what? Even slavers can have the right mindset doing a bourgeois revolution
against the colonial superpower. You know? You see the good and you see the bad and you
assess it. All right? That's how it works. It's true. There is nuance to this. And I
I apply that same exact nuance all the time.
Scheduled to become, or to be sworn in, I should say.
Mayor Elect, I'm doubting you.
And, you know, his campaign has come
with a lot of big promises for New Yorkers.
A lot of attention on the Democratic side, too, to see.
Can you give a fall of communism in Russia?
Give a summary of that?
I mean, I don't know.
Look at what's going on and,
look at what's going on in the Trump world
in the United States of America right now.
It's pretty close to a one-on-one
without any external factors that are really fucking trying to destroy the United States of America.
Like we're doing it to ourselves, it's very similar, I would say.
There are a lot of similarities of the fucking fall of the USSR, like the internal issues.
And we're basically doing it to ourselves right now
Now, in the United States of America, without any of the, without any of the fucking external
factors that are trying to destroy the United States of America, even though we always claim
that there are people out there that are out to get us, trying to destroy us all the
time, they just happen to be, you know, in countries that we would like to bomb
into oblivion.
There's a little room to solve an hour good or bad people.
They're historical people on who are oftentimes main villains in American
education, but they're not the heroes that progressives hoist them up to be.
Um, I would say that.
I would say that defeating the Nazis is pretty solid.
I mean, I give, if I give credit to fucking Churchill for that,
I'm going to give credit to Stalin for that, you know,
that's a pretty fucking solid thing.
Western progressives don't take into consideration the views of the global south.
I mean it's true.
Western chauvinism is a big part of the equation here anyway.
Is this the national or future leader of sort of the Democratic Party direction?
But I can imagine a lot of Republicans are also looking at this too to see where the holes are.
I wonder how you're evaluating what might come next for soon to be mayor and then done.
He's proved to be a great foil for Republicans so far.
But what is to be seen is if he truly is a socialist, if he's more pragmatic in his policies
and governance, or if he's just simply naive.
He certainly tapped in.
There is no like workers party in this country.
no objective open communist major party in this country. We don't have a parliamentary
system to begin with. You are never going to have a real socialist, okay? That's not
how this works, okay? If you win power in this country, you are not going to be winning
power at least in this stage through real earnest socialism. At best, you are going
to be pragmatic and probably try to move the needle in the direction of social democracy.
That's just the truth.
And I try to explain this to people all the fucking time and people still yell at me and
they think like, you know, they say, I am a shepherd for the Democratic Party.
And here they are once again, not building communism.
So I don't know what the fuck they want from me.
Okay.
methods on this. Yeah, CNN is a former Bush guy on to analyze Zoran. Oh, I'm so shocked
that the former White House spokesman for President George W. Bush, Pete Seat, has this
to say about Zoran. I'm down to the anxiety of voters by making a lot of promises that
he may not be able to keep. There could be institutional resistance. There could be
bureaucratic pushback. We don't know. His policies could be a complete total
utter failure. I think that's the most likely scenario to unfold here in the
next couple of years. That's all to be seen. But I think a lot of Republicans
across the country where I live in Indiana, people are watching Zoran
Mondani to see what he does. And if it's as bad as we predict it will be
and a lot of New Yorkers here hoping that he lives up to some of his
promises. Karen, I want to bring you in and widen the scope here because
2026 is obviously a midterm year and Democrats had big wins in this year's elections,
Mamdani, one of them. I wonder how you see the stakes, not just of the beginning to Mamdani's
mayorship, but also I think they're a little worried about the possible success that Mamdani
might achieve, albeit marginal, because like remember, his endpoint, what he ran on, if
developed is very modest, very modest expansions of pre-existing welfare structures, modest
expansion of the pre-existing public transit system.
Like it's not, he's not rewriting anything, right? He's not, he's not changing the game
at all. But even that modest direction towards social democracy is fucking terrifying for
people in power. Why is it terrifying for people in power? Because it is moving in the direction
of anti-capitalism. The moment that you actually go after private enterprise and their profits
in any capacity, no matter how tiny it is, this means you are losing control. This means that
capital is losing control. And that's fucking terrifying for capital, okay? Just as the
bosses at your megacorporation they work at will spend a fuck ton more money on labor
lawyers to come in and destroy any sort of initiative towards unionization, okay?
And spend far more money in the short term than they would lose if the union was to
be developed and could demand more benefits, for example, a bigger percentage of the
Profits that they are generating off of their surplus labor value. Okay. It's the it's the principle
it's the fear of losing control because
Let's say Zoram and I actually achieves these modest
Marginal incremental changes that he wants to
implement
All of a sudden people are gonna wake up. They're gonna recognize. Oh shit
we can actually vote for a positive figure. We can actually vote for an affirmative agenda.
We can actually demand more from our politicians, and they will listen to our demands. And that
is unacceptable. They will first always work to kill your hope. They will always first and foremost
work to kill your dreams, to kill your confidence in this government. And liberals play a massive
role in this, okay? Obama played a massive role in this as a matter of fact.
You can't have that. No matter how tiny, no matter how incremental the gains could be
for the working class, the capital owners do not want that. And that's precisely the reason why
you will see more and more in my opinion, unless Zoran becomes a total fucking sell-out phony,
a total slave to the capital owners, okay?
And we shall see, you know, we shall see
if that's the direction that he goes in, right?
Unless he does that, unless he does that,
most of the servants of capital in the media
will aggressively attack him.
He will sell out like you, you know,
don't pay him that person.
Please, that kind of stuff is not,
that's not a banable offense, I think.
You may be time I'm out a little bit, but probably even then I wouldn't even time that
person.
I know you don't want derailers, but well, let's not let's not do that.
Is admin chatter rating boss?
No, even then it's fine.
It's fine.
On the party unifying either in states like Massachusetts, Michigan, Maine, California,
or whether they actually need to to get some of the wins that I know Democrats hope
come.
Well, a couple things. Having worked in New York City government, I can tell you that it's
going to be a challenge for mom down. You know question. And he's going to have to work
with the governor and with the city council. I hope he succeeds. New Mexico was able to
pass universal childcare. There's one report that says if he's successful, it will mean
14,000 women will be able to return to the workforce and add some $600 million.
We've got time now for 30 minutes for calling the face content. The garbage it
was what the fuck you were they were right to time you out and you will get
another 30 minutes now colors to the city's revenues so let's hope he's
successful we should want him to succeed in those endeavors I think what
you're gonna see from Democrats across the country is you know again we've got
dorm on Danny we've got Abigail Spanberger we've got all kinds of
Democrats running across this country I think that the message will be
obviously focusing on affordability and focusing on frankly speaking to the growing dissatisfaction
that voters have with the job that President Trump and Republicans in Congress who have failed to
hold him accountable, who have failed to do their jobs. Why are we spending so much time on regime
change in Venezuela when we still haven't gotten inflation under control? When, you know, people
just went through Christmas and ran up their credit cards and those bills will come do next year
and so and health care costs are about to go up. So I think you're going to see Democrats focusing
on how do we earn voters trust to solve these problems. Economy and health care will be
tops of minds for voters. Feels like deja vu but those issues always top of mind whenever we
have major elections. Karen Finney, Pete C, appreciate you both being here. I do want to move
move on to to New York, where Mayor-elect Zaron Mamdani will be sworn in in an abandoned
subway station beneath City Hall in New Year's Eve, and then the hardest work will begin,
which is governing. He has three main things he ran on, universal childcare, rent freezes
and making buses free and faster. His whole campaign was about affordability, and other
Democrats certainly jumped quickly to do the same, and one seats in special elections.
you Margaret, I mean how will the party, the Democratic Party, be watching what happens in New York
as they gauge for how they should proceed?
It's such a fascinating story to watch and I think the answer is kind of at arm's length,
like kind of like looking, but I'm looking away. You've got Democrats nationally saying
New York City is not the same as swing districts across the United States or statewide offices
in many states.
Yeah, true.
When you ask people in West Virginia if they also want immediate improvements into their
living conditions and like a more affordable existence, they go, of course not.
That's my least favorite thing of all time, famously.
It's a really, it's a losing equation.
else. And before people say, Hey, obviously look at like a place like Tennessee and whatnot.
You know, this is a, this is a failure. You have to remember. Okay. This shit takes time.
It requires a shit ton of money to go against, to go against the unlimited propaganda from
the right. Okay. It's not going to happen overnight.
Kaya needs to know what you got in her, what you got in that box.
The box is for you guys, but this is a venison shank bone and it is something that she has
lasered in on.
This is Kaya's chew toy, but I'm not going to give this to her yet.
She's been fucking this thing up, but what I will give Kaya is the venison shank bone.
Come here. Oh, what's these? What's these? Okay. Good girl. Good girlie. Republicans is 2004. That change won't work. So we won't vote for it. Let's change it our way to make it worse. See the Dems broke it. Yeah.
I asked my mom who she got on the rush limbaugh. She literally told me that she worked somewhere where they played him all day
She started out hating him and that but then he grew on her shaking my head like how was she not aware that she got brain poisoned
Brother, that's the reason why all this like fuck Hassan initiatives
I are
Unfortunately successful because it stops people from actually coming here and watching because most people would rather
Make up their minds
Most people rather make up their minds from afar, but if I was like, if they, if they, the solution to all the focus on content is just to come here and watch and make up your own mind, even for a little bit. Okay.
That's why I always tell you, you know, show your friends, show your family.
Clips are not going to clips are no way to actually make up your mind about a person, especially a political commentary person, you know
A political commentator ain't no fucking way you're gonna understand what their actual points of view are politics is a very polarizing game
And there are going to be a lot of bad faith actors that are working overtime, oftentimes for free, to make sure that you don't, make sure that your friends don't tune in at all.
Make sure your friends actually develop deep-seated hatred and resentment for no fucking reason until they come in, until they come in and they see for themselves.
But even then there will always be, you know, people that don't like my vibes, my style.
A lot of people say I'm too bro-y for them, you know what I mean?
Gropers were really mad that you said Fuentes is gay? Okay.
What else is new? Gropers are mad at the truth.
Anyway, let's continue.
So I'm reluctant to draw too many parallels, I think.
And then on the other hand, this affordability message is so potent and visceral, whether
you're in a red district or a blue district, it helped Donald Trump get elected in 2024.
It is one of President Trump's biggest obstacles and one of his party's biggest obstacles
now a year later.
for Mamdami, these promises to impact affordability
for working class New Yorkers,
but also just messages saying sort of like,
I hear you, I feel you, it's legitimate to feel
like you can't afford anything.
These are really powerful messages
that help to get elected by the measure of his success
now is gonna be on whether he can deliver
on some of these things.
Inside the context of this massive city full of millionaires
and billionaires and major businesses
Look, all my boogers in one is in 10.
All of the city, while addressing this base that
helped you get elected.
And I think in these early days, we're
going to see his decisions about who
to appoint to crucial positions inside his government,
how many people from the prior mayor's administration
to keep over.
Who will he be able to bring on board
to help execute some of these promises?
Everyone, Democrats, Republicans, New Yorkers
will be closely watching.
Yeah, for sure.
And there was a lot of surprise on how he and President Trump
got on when he visited the White House.
Anyway, we'll see.
We'll see where this goes, as far as the anti-Zoran stuff.
But State Commissioner responds to viral YouTube video
about the Somali daycare fraud in Minneapolis.
There are some inconsistencies for the record.
And there are.
Don't ban me this time.
I do agree with you with a lot of things.
OK, great.
There are a lot of inconsistencies even with like the way that the state is talking about it. I will admit
Okay, the Somaliapolis story continues
As
As you guys probably know by now
As you guys probably know by now
There is a Mormon
YouTuber
Who used to be like a mr. B style youtuber?
that pivoted into right-wing content in the same way that like Tyler Hitler
Vera did to do like nuisance streaming like nuisance
YouTubing but directionally for right-wing propaganda purposes. He went
to Minneapolis and there was already for the past like couple years there's
been an active investigation into welfare fraud and charity fraud that has taken place in Minneapolis.
But he went to Minneapolis to go outside of random childcare facilities with the claim
that there were no children there and there was like mass fraud taking place, right?
And because there is already a preexisting investigation, and because Donald Trump has
been yelling about this for the past month or so. And because the people that they are
yelling about happen to be black Muslim Somali Americans at a time when obviously tensions
are very high towards non-white people of potential immigrant background.
The video popped off partially based boosted by Elon Musk, right?
It got like 120 million views on Twitter, even though Twitter views are irrelevant.
It got like 2 million views on YouTube.
And every single person has been praising it as though it was peak journalism.
I think it's very stupid.
And I feel very discouraged that a lot of people looked at that and thought it was
like peak journalism, because there was no journalism whatsoever, especially in an instance
where like he could have done journalism, because there is validity to the skepticism
as far as some of these child care facilities.
He could have just done literally just a bare minimum amount of research to go to the
Department of Human Services website, and like actually look at the litany of licensing
violations that these places had actually incurred, and asked whether or not these places had
actually had their licenses revoked, if not why they hadn't gotten their licenses revoked.
Like that would have been a pretty solid piece of journalism that could have still been
right wing propaganda, right? But he didn't do any of that. He just went outside of childcare
facilities and, and demanded to see the children, right? Demanded to see the kids. I've shown
me your kids, shown me your kids and he walked out at a time when there's also a lot of tension
to begin with around, you know, ICE raids and things of that nature. What sucks for me
about the way that, you know, what sucks for me in particular as someone who tries to educate
people on media literacy, tries to get people to do a little bit of critical thinking, was
that there's not a lot of critical thinking out there. I think as long as something has
an element of truth from pre-established legitimate resources, as long as it leans
into existing fears, tribalistic fears that people have about, you know, non-white people
or whatever the fuck, Somali people, you don't really need to do any serious journalism whatsoever.
You just like do the dumbest thing possible and go outside, go outside of childcare facilities
and demand to see the children, which is never going to happen, right?
And unfortunately, that's just the media environment that we live in now.
And people will immediately go, oh, you just want to defend the Somalis for doing fraud
because I don't know, for reasons, I guess, because you're woke and this is how wokes
operate, right?
It sucks.
But unfortunately, even intelligent people, college educated people, like all these people
People would, you know, are still falling for this.
Where are the children?
What?
Is this a daycare or not?
This is my office where I make news videos.
Did you see the report from Nick Shirley about the Somali daycares in Minnesota?
Yes.
He posted a 42-minute video which I watched so that you don't have to.
He's the only person out here doing real journalism.
Hello, Mr. Vice President.
Yes, I saw that you posted that.
Great work, sir.
Yes, since 2018 more than half of 18 billion dollars in taxpayer funds spent on the 14 programs
Intended to help low-income vulnerable people was most likely stolen and there it is
But this has been under investigation for a long time more than 92 people have been charged
How can we haven't seen it in the news local and international outlets have been reporting on it for years?
This is a Times article from 2022 representative Omar did nothing about this that same year
she condemned the fraud that was happening. And in 2019, this article was
written about the statewide audit of the fraud. Finally, here's a local article
from 2018 that says that Minnesota has been aggressively investigating daycare
fraud since 2014. But what about how they're funneling all the money to
terrorists? Look, there is clearly fraud happening here, but that terrorist
allegation was made by a police detective from Seattle who retired in
2015 and has never been to Minnesota. Oh, what about the other daycares in
the video? I didn't see any kids. Some of those daycares could have been
committing fraud, but would you let a complete stranger flanked by his security team and his
camera crew into your daycare to see the children?
And I don't know when he filmed this, but my daughter's daycare is closed for the last
two weeks of December.
I don't know, that's cocoa.
I'm glad you care about kids though.
Of course.
Have you seen the latest Epstein file dump from three days before Christmas?
No, I don't think so.
That's not important.
In new documents, an unnamed victim alleges that both Trump and Epstein are the future.
And that Trump traveled on Epstein's plane at least eight times in the 90s.
But last year, he said he was never on Epstein's plane.
You should go check for more daycare fraud.
Okay.
Yeah.
It's much more likely that the people that were doing this fraud were just not funding
terrorism in Somalia, but instead funding their pockets.
And there has been investigations in the past into whether or not any sort of like
terror cells in Somalia have received any of the funding and they've come up with no
evidence to suggest that this allegation is even remotely true.
There's a lot of misinformation flying around around the story, but once again, I mean that's
a pretty basic summary of it, but this has at least caused some of the people in mainstream
news to remember that they do have a job and they should probably address some of the misinformation.
State commissioners response the viral YouTuber video about Somali daycare fraud in Minneapolis.
Tonight the state is responding to a viral video alleging more fraud in Minnesota this
time daycare fraud. Since it was posted last week the video has wrapped up millions
of views, even catching the attention of the FBI director.
Lou Regus has the latest on the response from the state.
So this is Claltee Leering Center.
A misspelled sign and an apparent lack of anyone inside a licensed child care center
in Minneapolis.
Just one stop conservative YouTuber Nick Shirley made in a video viewed over 100 million
times on X in an effort to expose fraud among Somali.
Yeah, it's like people are not even bringing up the fact that he also brought up the flag,
the state flag of Minnesota and the flag change and how that was also changed to look more
Somali, which is again, like when you see something like that, you should immediately
go, Oh, this is ridiculous.
Like this person is maybe not all there.
But unfortunately for a lot of people because of the unchecked biases that people have,
Because of a lack of interest in critical thinking in general, they kind of see this, okay?
They see this and they go, oh, this makes sense.
He's doing good journalism and they end up, they end up unironically believing all the
other shit that this dumbass is saying too.
They run childcare centers in Minnesota.
You do realize that there's supposed to be 99 children in here at this building,
but there's no one here.
Well, we have questions about some of the methods that were used in the video.
We do take the concerns that the video raises about fraud very seriously.
Tiki Brown is the commissioner of the new Minnesota Department of Children, Youth and Families,
which is responsible for paying federal child care assistance to daycares that file claims.
She says inspectors went out today to double check that children, in fact, are present.
The Federal Department of Homeland Security also was checking those businesses in Minneapolis
today.
State data surely used in this video show those daycares receive millions in taxpayer
money.
The inconsistent part about this specific Minneapolis daycare,
the Quality Learning Center, I will admit,
is that the state claims that the daycare center
is actually permanently closed.
It's not.
Or there were children at that center
and there have been children at that center,
obviously when it was still in operation.
And we don't know if the daycare center
is currently closed or not.
The state says it is, but there were children,
as of yesterday from what I understand. And that part is actually odd. That is actually
suspicious to me. Someone who actually cares about, you know, the truth.
There have been ongoing investigations with several of those centers. None of those investigations
uncovered findings of fraud. Brown confirmed that the daycares in Shirley's video have
active licenses with the state and continue. The one with the sign on the doors is permanently
close on Google Maps. This is why journalism is important because it doesn't matter what it says
on Google Maps, okay? It does not matter what Google Maps says. You have to actually go there
or at least call the facility, try to call the facility and talk to someone
and confirm, okay? Google Maps, unfortunately, is not a reliable source of information.
What we know, however, is that the sign on the door said, open from 2pm to 10pm.
Nick was there at 1pm.
So he wasn't even there while it was open.
He was there while the place was closed.
And before you say, why are, why, what daycares over from 2pm to 10pm,
daycares and childcare facilities have different hours for parents that have different needs.
Some parents are working until 10pm.
Some parents need after-school care, okay?
I know that it's much more comforting to lean into a narrative built around suspicion,
but it's usually good to try and figure out what's actually going on.
Seving payments, the exception, one that closed years ago
and the Misspelled Quality Learning Center,
which Brown says permanently closed last week.
In a strange contradiction, however,
our cameras this afternoon captured dozens of children
being dropped off at that daycare.
The manager telling us they are legitimate, they are open,
and they never have been closed.
Now, I confirmed this afternoon that the State Department
of Children, Youth and Families has a total of 55
open investigations related to the Child Care Assistance
program and the department tells me that they hope to have more information for me tomorrow
about their site visits today.
One more thing to add, Carla, the commissioners.
Yeah, they went to all of the facilities now.
They went to all the facilities to see if there are children there and they are unlike
Nick Shirley, actual investigators, you know, licensed auditors.
So yeah, this was the interview with one of the guys who runs the daycare. But again,
I saw this, but what's not consistent here is what this guy is saying. Like I'm not trying
to invite suspicion onto him. But if I place a higher order of, of responsibility or a higher
order of veracity and truthfulness to claims being made by the state over claims being
made by some random guy on tick tock, who I'm not so certain is the manager or
not because I didn't fucking check. I don't know if this guy is the manager of this place.
I don't know if he's some random guy standing outside. Like you need to be, you need to be
a little bit more critical with the information that you're, the information that you're,
you're looking at, right? In a situation like this, it's not his word against the states.
You have to, you have to take what the auditors are saying more seriously. And there
is an inconsistency here. Okay, while the state's own license, the state's own license
does say that this daycare is still in operation, this child care place is still in operation,
the state is also a different department within the state, including that person that we
just watched, has said that it's not an operation. This is only going to invite
more suspicion. Okay, Minnesota Department of Children Commissioner Tiki Brown claims
the Quality Learning Center closed down last week, which explains why there were no children
when Nick Shirley visited today. However, the Quality Learning Center was packed with
kids. The New York Post reports the children were trucked in with one local saying it was
the first time they had seen kids go into the building. They need to coordinate next
time before they try to cover up a crime.
is there is there is there fraud going on here no it's a video I just want to
know what's your response huh what's your response to the allegations is there
fraud going on here and is there children that's all that's awesome this is
definitely a way to conduct an investigation thank you I love that
everyone is a fucking journalist now and think that they're a fucking
journalists now and how do they do journalism go outside of a place where
you suspect is a crime is taking place crime involving children mind you and
film the children and yell and be a fucking nuisance this is idiotic we are
aware of a video that's being circulated that has gained local and
national attention about child care centers in Minnesota.
While we have questions about some of the methods
that were used in the video, we do take the concerns
that the video raises about fraud here.
For the record, this is precisely what I was saying
was going to happen.
Okay, when you introduce bad faith actors,
bias propagandists that do not abide
by any sort of journalistic standards whatsoever.
And while mainstream journalists and legacy publishers
sometimes even drop the ball on that shit,
random people are completely unaccountable.
But there is an active investigation taking place
into all these facilities.
But instead of letting those active investigations
take place, these guys are going over there
and filming children.
This is not the appropriate way to go.
And while people say, oh, son, you're only doing this because you want to do ass covering
because you love when Somali Americans do fraud, that's not the case.
I want, I want the investigators to do their fucking jobs.
Okay.
I do not give a shit about anything else.
I do not want welfare fraud to take place.
I do not want any sort of fraud to take place at all.
I am a person who wants there to be strong social safety nets, okay?
The issue here is you are now obstructing active investigations.
You are causing investigators to redirect their attention to random places that might
not be under the lens of scrutiny, for example.
You might think it's appropriate, but you're pulling away resources from an already exhausted
an already exhausted group of investigators anyway and you're harassing children and families
while you're doing it. It's the worst possible thing you could do when there is an active
court case taking place. What is it? I'm sure you have seen this from
The Hill is talking some Hassanabi shit
Remember the Hill has a right-wing reporters who will also fucking
Lean into stories like this. So it's not surprising to me that they did that
Wow, the Sompiker excuses Minnesota shotgun fraud
Uh, I did not
And if they were truthful
If they were truthful and accurate in their fucking reporting
As a serious news outlet, they would know that
For example, and I will say this over and over again, EDP is a pedophile, right?
EDP is a fucking pedophile.
We know that.
EDP is also a free man, okay?
EDP is still a free man, despite being a pedophile and trying to actually find
children to rape.
The reason why is because there was no real fucking investigation.
The reason why is because the only investigation that was conducted was YouTubers.
This is the issue.
Now, imagine if there was already an active investigation taking place into EDP's pedophilia
And a bunch of fucking sloped tubers came in and fucked it up.
Cause that's kind of what's happening here.
It's so stupid.
Confirm for us the four million dollars that we were even hearing that a lot of time.
Don't know where that came from.
I don't, I have no idea where that came from.
Four million dollars.
That's a completely false claim.
We don't make that much with our money, children we have.
How much money are you receiving money from the state?
This is an interview with Ibrahim Ali, the son of the owners of the Quality Learing or
Learning Center here in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
He spoke at length about everything related to the daycare, the allegations, etc.
Other than about a minute and 30 seconds, the entire video is uncut.
I trimmed anything that was just filler stuff or questions that were being asked in the
background is an effort to save time to be able to fit the entire video on
TikTok. As Minnesota, as Somalis, as people that own this business for eight years now,
we do nothing but to uplift the community, uplift our children, uplift one another,
uplift non-Somalis, uplift Somalis to make a better community for all of us.
So if somebody comes in and says, hey, they're not doing it in society. If you
were to came, you're in operational hours and there's no one here, okay,
it's not a point. He came, I think it was 11 a.m. Obviously there's no cars in the
park a lot. If you look around, there's cars now. Yeah, because our employees are here.
Our children are here. Our clients are here. They don't come at 10 a.m. because they're
like, hey, they're going to open. Obviously, I don't have to be open at 10 a.m.
We're not open at 10 a.m. The sign on the door says that.
Opening a daycare lot is not easy. That's all right. I see a lot of people pointing
fingers at DHS. DHS does a good job to the point that if you ask most daycare
owners or not so many, it's a really strenuous process.
Yeah, I brought this up as well. I mean, this part of the conversation is correct. Like there
are, there are a lot of, um, there are a lot of things that come out in, in licensing investigations,
regardless of whether or not there is a Somali person operating the business or a white person
operating the business, right? This is how it is.
He visited over a dozen daycare centers and the one that they're latching onto is
the leering center. Yeah. The irony, of course, is that like, it's not like they fucking put
the sign up themselves. Like, I mean, they put the sign up, but they, they commissioned
a sign and the sign was wrong because the person who made the sign made a wrong sign.
They're making it seem like these guys are, you know, they're, they're, they're so stupid.
They're so stupid. They didn't see that it said leering center. Yeah. There was
a fucking typo in the sign. They kept it up and I suspect that, you know, they
I'm not sure if you wanted,
it's the side door sign for the record.
It's not even the front door sign.
The front door sign is correct.
Then why post the sign?
Why do you think?
Why do you think?
They posted it, I assume.
I have no way of confirming this,
but I suspect the reason is because they already paid money for it
waiting for the new sign to come in. You have to admit paperwork. You have to submit paperwork daily.
You have to do a monthly, you have to do a yearly. They have to make sure kids are coming.
Like a lot of this stuff, a lot of this stuff stems from people just simply not knowing
basic facts, right? And why should they? Why should you know the basic facts about
like running a fucking child care facility in the trials and tribulations that go
into running a child care facility you just don't know you don't fucking
understand that stuff so in a moment like this what you're supposed to do is
engage in critical thinking okay you're supposed to think hmm I wonder if it's
commonplace for child care facilities to have these sorts of issues like I
I wonder if there is a licensing structure in child care facilities. I suspect that this is a,
this is something that is probably regulated heavily by the state because no, no competent
government is going to allow random adults to be around people's children without doing their due
diligence, right? What you're supposed to do is, is kind of expand on that initial suspicion
that you have and you're supposed to walk through these steps. You're supposed to go, okay,
What is the primary government regulator that would look at these childcare facilities,
especially if they're giving them money, but even if they're not giving them money,
even if it's a totally private facility, right?
There still has to be a licensing process for Minneapolis, Minnesota.
It's the Department of Human Services, right?
What they're calling DHS for short.
So you go to the DHS system and you look and you see if there are any sort of
any sort of licensing issues, which we did do, right?
We did that. We went through and we looked at all of the facilities that he went to,
that Nick went to, and we found out that the Department of Human Services
had actually gone to every single one of these facilities. Now there is still,
there is still some inconsistencies of course. The major inconsistency now
Now, is that the state itself, a separate department within the state, said that this place was closed.
Okay?
Now, they're saying the place is not closed. That's an inconsistency. You need to think critically now.
You need to try to figure out if the other state, the spokesperson for Minneapolis, like the Minneapolis department, did they misspeak?
did they not know? Did they not do their due diligence? Okay? Was the place closed
temporarily or permanently? These are questions that you are supposed to ask
in this situation. I have to make sure that parents are busy with work or
school per se. If their parents are not occupied, we don't get paid. So for
example, you bring your children to me. While we're open, if you're at home, we
don't get paid for the children. Those children can't come to us. We can decide
to take a hey like out of just to do a favor for the family while being the
parents but those kids were not going to be paid for it.
They paid their parents, stopped working or stopped going to school, we don't want to
pay for it.
So it's not like, hey, just enroll yourself and make it.
It's not that easy.
The parents themselves yearly, they have to, there's a redetermination for how much they
make, where they live, the house income, the size of the house.
They have to fill all those out.
What kind of income do they make?
Both parents, how much they need.
If they make over a certain threshold, the government does not pay.
So it's not like the government is paying for people that have their pockets full.
It's people that can't afford it and are working and are going to school.
So the government and DHS make sure that person is not able to take care of the job.
That's the only time they can bring to Arctic or any decade.
If the parents are at home, is that home? When I get a date.
What do you say to people who say this is like all for show?
Like all the cars in the park and a lot of the kids being dropped off now.
It's only a response to that video.
We spoke about this earlier, you guys can come tomorrow, you guys can come on Thursday, you guys can come back Monday.
If there's not this many cars, let me know.
There'll be this many cars, there'll be children going in and out, because that's what a daycare center is.
There's employees, there's food bill we have to serve them, we have to serve them lunch, two snacks and dinner.
For 60 plus kids, that bill is not small.
That bill is not small.
We, the other teachers obviously, we have
Oh, wait a minute. The license said there's 99 children 99 max 60 at any given moment before people fucking try to
Identify an inconsistency in the statements that he's making the only thing that is actually
Weird about this. Okay for my perspective
Is the fact that the state itself said that this place was closed
They say it was temporarily closed
They say it was closed at the time when they went over there or was it actually permanently closed and now it's open again
We do not know that's the one area and I'm sure that we will get more information later down line
This is part of the reason why I always say like you you shouldn't dive into breaking news and and
Immediately make assumptions off of what you're hearing because there can be some confusion. Okay
But
Will people will people turn around and go oh shit. We got this wrong. Let's get back to the drawing board probably not
Okay
Anyway here, we'll finish this and then the teachers are good wage standard
It's not more window with the first insurance. I'm gonna have to increase their pay
We have to make sure the toys are up to date
We have to make sure even that the time they do it's not the building, it's the building.
So it's not like nobody comes and it's in our pockets.
The other thing that I find really, really damaging about this,
the other thing that I find really scary about this is two-fold one.
The fact that like this bottom of the barrel,
like hysterical propaganda was so effective for many people on the internet
including educated adults that I previously thought were capable of critical thinking.
That's number one. And then number two, this drove discourse, especially online,
because it was base boosted by Elon Musk. Okay. So Twitter now, and for the rest of time,
will always be able to drive discourse against, you know, certain minority groups or can
manufacturer hysteria and that is very frustrating. It's very frustrating that like something as
basic as a video such as this one is able to change mainstream discourse. And it's directly in the
hands of, it's directly in the hands of one singular billionaire who is, as we know, a
fucking vice-premises shithead too okay what is this atriak responded i'm gonna
start to do i really have video with an object permanence test just i gotta make
sure you guys see me here right i'm here am i gone to you
am i back am i where do you need to know that you can pass that before we can
move on because i'm kind of blown away here
I feel like I'm- I'm a little shocked.
You should really watch this entire video.
Oh, there's more idiots saying Atrioc than Elon and Hirlal.
Yeah, if you think Atrioc is responsible for this fucking propaganda flying all around.
Everyone was talking about it the day following Shrop
and I didn't know who the guy is. I came here to ask about it.
Okay, week, he is rifting off your filter statement. Yeah, I before I knew what a Trio had said about this about the initial video.
Okay? Before I knew what he said about the initial video, before I found that out, I said,
I view this video as a filter. Okay? Like the Nick Shirley video as a filter. It's a really
good filter and it's a really sad filter in many respects because unfortunately a lot
of people actually watched it and were like, oh, this is a banger. This is a banger
piece of real journalism. They're really driving discourse. Um, it just sucks.
It sucks to see it because he is a, a, uh, you know, very educated, very thoughtful, very
smart guy.
Okay.
He is, but unfortunately, uh, in some respects, I think he got a little filtered partially
because stop saying he's not.
Okay.
I don't care.
I don't care to fucking listen to your own personal perspective on this.
Okay.
He's not stopped playing nice.
I don't care.
I don't care about your takes on this, okay?
Yeah, he wasn't filtered.
He said he did that on purpose
because he wants to appeal to the races as well.
Okay, so I was right in my initial suspicion.
By this, that actually is worse.
Of course.
And then he got me saying,
I gotta do discourse on my first day back.
I just had a really, really nice vacation with my family.
I played board games and read books pretty much every day.
Now I gotta come back and do discourse.
Okay, look, here's the deal.
Let me give you the context
We're gonna talk about context a lot today two days ago
I make a video about essentially government fraud in general and my thoughts on it and I use this
Nick Shirley video and the Somali Minnesota situation as the kickoff for that
I use it as the end and I got six ass threads on my Reddit who I swear to God did not watch this video
When I can read it, I can't I don't understand were they watching the same video that I made
I'm my mind is blown and so I'm reminded of this threat
I saw on our teachers listen the kids can read every word that I'm putting in front of them
But if you ask them to say what it means like what was the paragraph you just read what was it take away?
I can't speak for other people's criticisms
But my criticism entirely was the fact that he said that this was good journalism
Okay, and I think the reason why he said that I suspected at the time
time was because he wanted to appeal to a lot of dumb guys who thought it was banger journalism.
It wasn't good journalism at all. Okay. And it was very disappointing to see Atrioc say
that it was fucking good journalism. A did not say that. Yes, he did. He absolutely
did. Okay. Now the rest of the video might have been him actually talking about like
fraud and broader fraud initiatives and, uh, you know, all the stuff. And I'm
I'm glad that he is educating people on all different kinds of fraud.
This is something that I care about as well.
And it's something that I talked about as well extensively.
But let's see what he has to say.
He can't do it.
It just, their mind blanks out.
So I want to do two contexts of media literacy.
I just want to break these down.
The first one is context.
Context is what happens before and after.
The things around a word or phrase or section or visual to give it meaning,
to inform it, okay?
The context matters.
If I tell you nice shirt on its own,
that might mean, oh, I really like your shirt.
But if I say, fuck you, nice shirt idiot.
Well, that's important context.
The before and after really informs that particular phrase.
And it helps you find takeaways.
What is the overall takeaway of a piece?
For example, if you just saw the clip
of Walter White saying, I am the danger
in this stupid hat, you might think,
the point of breaking bad is that cooking meth is cool and Walter White is great.
That might be your takeaway, but if you watch the whole piece, you might realize that, oh,
okay, the overall takeaway here is that Walter White is a monster, and this is a dangerous,
terrible path to go down that's left him alone and broken. I want to go through this, maybe
see a little pedantic, but I want to go through like point by point what I'm trying to hit
in this video from two days ago. And we're going to take a look at the context and the
take away because that's what I would like to be judged on. All right. So this particular
section, this is the one that a lot of people were crashing out on, which surprised surprised
in the first like 30 seconds surprise. And I show this clip from Nick Shirley. And the
reason I show this is not because I am platforming Nick Shirley. It is because this video
I wasn't even, I didn't say he was platforming Nick Shirley. I said he was trying to take
advantage of the preexisting platform that Nick Shirley got off of. Let's be
real racialized harassment of a minority that is in the crosshairs right now due to an ongoing
investigation, a real one into fraud, that he, Nick Shirley, used as a jump off point to go and
harass a bunch of random fucking people that work in medical facilities of Somali descent in
Minneapolis. No part of that was real journalism. As a matter of fact, there was plenty of
instances where
he actually had the opportunity next year we did to do real journalism and
invite scrutiny or suspicion into the
comings and goings of many of the health care facilities or child care
facilities he actually went to
but instead of doing that he just chose to fucking slam a camera at the
doors of all these places
and demand to see the children which of course is never going to work
that's not how anything works
bringing any sort of of
bringing any sort of
positive uh... assessment
or or any sort of like fucking positivity in the direction of this
random dumb fuck
who was a january six very clearly is doing propaganda for
the republican party
and not even doing a very good job at it to be fair
uh... and and making it seem as though there was anything in that video in the
forty three minutes that we watch that was actually
uh, bringing new information, new pieces of evidence, for example, uh, that would, you
know, that would be worthy of, of being branded ed journal as journalism is ridiculous. There
was nothing there that was offering any sort of journalistic value. Okay. I'm not talking
about, yeah, I'm not talking about Atriach. I'm saying Nick Shirley did not do any journalism,
let alone good journalism. Okay. Yeah, there was a private security ad in the video. There
was an ad right after he talked about how the Minneapolis or the Minnesota flag is
now a Somali flag. It was just fucking bullshit. It was racialized bullshit. It was complete
fucking Slopaganda. Okay. That's it.
No, has been pushed by Elon Musk to 121 million people.
That is like 40% of the entire Twitter user base.
He is right though about, um, Antriac is right about the whole,
uh, you know, oh, you're platforming arguments. I hate that shit.
stupid. You can't platform something that is being base boosted by the wealthiest billionaire
on the fucking planet. And a lot of people immediately go, mmm, you're platforming. What
is this? Yes, just make a video on charity far out. Don't link it to some mollies. No,
you can even actually, you can even actually talk about the Nick Shirley video. Of course
you should talk about the Nick Shirley video. It's the number one thing. If you want
fucking get an algorithmic boost from the Nick Shirley video, you can talk about the Nick Shirley
video. Why wouldn't he talk about it? Of course, I talked about it too, right? The problem here
isn't talking about the Nick Shirley video. The problem here is, he knows better or at least he
should know better than to even make it seem as though this guy was doing anything positive,
right? Beyond cloud farming off of a pre-existing investigation that has been covered
endlessly for the last, for the last fucking two, three years at this point, okay?
You literally are the Donald Trump of Twitch in all the worst ways. You slam your opinions down,
the viewers throw us in. If everyone slightly disagrees with your point of view, yes, dude,
I'm exactly like the pedophile protecting multi-billionaire president who actually
has a cryptocurrency fraud going that he launched the day before his inauguration,
who is responsible for endless bombing campaigns. It's exactly like that. Just say I'm a cultist,
dude. You don't have to literally try to do this thing where you're like, ooh, you're just like
MAGA. You slam your opinions down your viewers' throats. Is that Donald Trump's worst aspect for
you, you think? The fact that he has, the fact that he slams his opinions down people's throats,
that's the worst aspect that Donald Trump, you could use a much better analogy if you want
You usually want to say Donald Trump because you're fucking lazy. Okay. And no, I don't slam my opinions down people's throats when they slightly disagree with me.
I understand that there is nuance and not only that, but my fucking audience yells at me all the goddamn time for having any sort of charitability or nuance, specifically in the case of a track, for example,
for example, everyone in my community was fucking yelling at me. If I was so audience captured,
I'd be, I'd be leaning into whatever the fuck they're saying. Am I audience captured or am I actually
fucking whipping my audience all the time? Make up your fucking minds, okay?
Because more often than not, if you come in here, and this is a criticism that I think has
validity, I'm yelling at my fucking audience because they're being uncharitable, okay?
Okay? The fact that his audience would commit murder for him like yours is the worst. Brother,
you are, I'm sorry to say this, but a little hysterical if you think that my audience would
commit murder for me, okay? And you're still comparing Donald Trump to a Twitch streamer.
Please, at some point you have to snap out of it, okay? It is your own parasocial
investment that you have, whether hateful or in a loving manner, into content creators
that has caused you to make analogies such as this one.
If you're going to talk about like, uh, my, my, um, cultish attitude or whatever the fuck
you're suggesting, you can at the very least point to a real example, okay?
This is nothing but a self report.
And not only that, but also once again, especially in this instance, I'm actually
yelling at my audience quite a bit for being ridiculous about atrex initial commentary.
So you're wrong. Am I audience captured or am I constantly yelling at my audience? Which
is it? Maybe it's both. Okay. Maybe there's a lot of feedback that comes in, but now we've
moved beyond it. Now I'm actually being derailed by one random dickhead. Your audience calls
them the worst names. You wonder why people are so scared to start discourse with you.
It's literally your way or they'll throw you off the highway. Again, I have reasonable
disagreements with people all the fucking time. Is there an attitude in this community
that actually dictates that it's my way or the highway? Apps of fucking Lutely. Is there
a broader attitude amongst the left? Is this a real problem on the online left? Apps of
fucking Lutely. Is it something that I routinely yell about? If you were actually spending
any time. Wait what nope. No. Chatter. See this is the problem. You've already decided
that I'm a villain in your story. So you're not even hearing me. I'm agreeing with you.
I'm actually agreeing with you Chatter. Your initial assessment is correct. Okay. Yes.
There is a my way or the highway attitude. Okay. And there is a my way or the highway
attitude in this community as well. It's something that I yell about all the time. It's something
that I try to stamp out all the time. You understand? And no, you didn't miss click. You just miss
heard. And you didn't even miss here. You're not listening. Okay.
This is the issue.
What is this?
You're getting baited by the current Elisabeth talking point.
This is what they were saying about extremely being afraid of her friend talking out against
you.
There was another clip of you on Elisabeth for your chat going against Peach.
You are getting baited bro.
Again, there were people in my chat that were getting frustrated yesterday at my friend.
Peach, right?
What did I do?
I yelled at them and I told them not to do that.
And then people clipped me, literally yelling at my chat to not do that and said see, he's
doing it.
It's not bait, y'all are terrible. Keep yelling at them. Check logs, please.
Oh
Does not mean brigading others online though. Wait, what?
Your way of your way are the highway so fucking stupid because anti-pugger attitude is is raises
transphobic pro-partite pro-genocide. What are you saying idiot chatter? I mean, there is that
element too. But again, there's varying degrees of disagreement. Is someone
disagreeing with me on whether or not Israel's committing a genocide? Well,
that's an entirely different subject matter. Okay.
It's on TV news. It is everywhere. This is a massive thing. I'm not
platforming shit. I'm responding to this exogenous event as a way to bring
a different narrative than what is being pushed with.
He's clickbaiting into talking about fraud in general, mass fraud.
It's this is an appropriate thing to do
I don't have any issues with that and I think people that are saying he was
platforming make surely are being silly it's a childish criticism to have there's
the point so let's start with the before and after now this is the beginning of
this video so for before let's look at the context of my fucking channel I got
people in the comments being like wow are you pivoting manga are you just
blind with Elon Musk's wholesale.
Bro, I've got like, I admit it,
cottage industry out of questioning what Elon Musk says.
You think I take Elon Musk at face value?
Okay, okay, okay.
He doesn't agree with Elon Musk.
And he talks about how like,
ICE is demonizing communities.
He talks about Sam Hyde.
Wait, what is this?
I think he's trying to reach an audience
that's more likely influenced by misinformation.
A standard joke thumbnail makes them think
it'll be more of an average video.
By the misinformation.
You gotta package things right
to get people actually need to hear it.
I think it's a very powerful thumbnail.
powerful comment. I really appreciate what this guy said. It reminds me that's what I said as well.
That's what I thought as well. My criticism and I don't even think Atriaga is responding to me
directly, but I think he's responding to his own fan base that was yelling at him with,
he's not wrong, your mods ban for having opposing views. Brother, this is incredibly,
incredibly vague. Okay. For example, think about something that is near and dear to you,
right? I don't know what your background is. You're just a random user named to me on the
internet, but think about like anything. Think about something that you care about, right?
Imagine you're a black chatter, okay? And someone comes in here when I talk about systemic racism
and their disagreement is actually that systemic racism doesn't exist and that black people
actually deserve to be brutalized by the police, for example, right? That's not just
just a simple disagreement. That's someone upholding white supremacy. So in an effort to
make sure that this is an educational space where there can be reasonable disagreement,
yes, oftentimes we will ban certain people. But that's not just a simple disagreement,
right? Of course, for the record, there is no other chat, no other community where
you will get this much time and effort for being a contrarian naysayer in the chat.
No other large content creator will ever take the time out to dignify you with a response.
I do that.
I do that and a lot of people try and take advantage of that to try to derail the conversation,
try to bait me, try to get mad, try to get me to be upset so they can clip it,
they can post it, they can get mad about it, they can talk about how I'm both
audience captured and also simultaneously incredibly mean to my audience for differences in opinion.
I will of course continue doing what I've been doing and will continue to keep doing it,
but just understand that you know it's not a simple disagreement that we ban people over
and if there are instances where we ban someone or one of my moderators banned someone
Or simple disagreement, I usually will check it, as I did earlier today.
For example, someone came in and was clearly trying to derail,
trying to be annoying, trying to be a nuisance.
Excuse me, of a similar video I've made, where around the H1B stuff,
this guy made a fucking Twitter video that went super viral.
This also went viral, and I watched this video,
and I said, look, some parts of this video are funny.
I can see why this would be appealing to someone,
but it's like a cup of poison, okay?
They give you a little bit of a taste of the good stuff,
and then you fall into the cup of poison.
It's like that was my whole metaphor about how, you know, a few things that you agree with in something like this might be a way to put a much worse narrative on it.
So this is a context that's important.
See, this is a great example of the rehabilitative method working for the record.
I never baited you for a clip, but I was extremely ungenerous. I'm working on it.
It's not exactly productive.
Enfant door time and time again has come in here to say I don't actually
Care about the needs of the black community or maybe even have a lot of white supremacist attitudes
But time and time again, I have talked to Enfant door and tried to describe my position. Look where we're at W growth
W growth for the chatter
So for all the naysayers who say you should have banned Enfant door the first time they fucking came in and
Charped me you guess what I didn't do that
and and it's now
Now that person is is being a little bit more understanding recognizing that maybe they had a tendency to just
Immediately snap for reasonable disagreement that might happen
Okay
We're going in this context is what allows me to make a thumbnail like the economy is saved with the old
Do you think that I literally mean okay? Okay. Yeah, he's talking about the principle of of clickbait here
Okay, so in this giving what damning with journalism. I am damning with faint praise
Okay, I follow it immediately by calling the younger guy in the video a clout obsessed zoomer
I am merely saying that the fact they got all the records of all of the
spending by all these different organizations and the addresses and found that many of them were listed in the same address
is worth giving an opening to, okay?
Because we're getting 100 million people watching this video.
Many of them are super angry at it, they're wild up.
And I don't wanna open by saying, dismissing it.
I don't wanna be dismissive, I don't wanna throw it away.
I wanna say, listen, there's some stuff here
worth talking about.
Let's get into it.
I wanna open with a hand out to let people come in
and see the narrative that I'm trying to build
over the next 20 minutes.
That's what I'm trying to do.
I think it is more effective.
to have. Yeah, that was my take on it. But I think I'm a little bit more critical. That
is what I assumed he was doing and did get mad at him for doing that for the record.
He was click baiting in an effort to come across as more reasonable to the dumb fuck
centrist and the dumb fuck people that have actually leaned into the arguments being
presented in the Nick Shirley video. And that is the reason why I popped up even
And before I heard his statement when I was like, I can't stand motherfuckers who will literally
just because something is popular will refuse to stand by their principles and will make
it seem like there's something legitimate that this person was engaging in.
I mean, this guy literally did racialized adjuvant prop that may or may not play
a role in actually undermining the existing investigations that are being, that have been
taking place in fucking Minneapolis, Minnesota for like the last three years, okay.
I think click baiting in general is fine. I do it too, or leaning into, you know, big,
leaning into viral moments and then, and then trying to draw in the crowd and then explain
to them your worldview is a good thing. Okay. But there is no reason to, to, to look
Look at a video such as this and then be like, well, this is, there's some good journalism
here.
He gave it a lot more praise than just damning with faint praise.
That was my issue with his video, okay?
It's a Trojan horse, though.
He's tricking them into listening to him.
It's really, they're just a different method for what you do, changing people's minds.
No, it's not a Trojan horse that works.
If you don't actually turn around and say, hey, this guy is a right wing fucking
propagandist, what are you doing?
The main take away from watching a video like that is to go, this is the dumbest fucking
thing that I've actually ever seen in my entire life.
I can't believe so many people are actually fucking falling for this propaganda.
It's so bottom of the barrel.
That's it.
Because his approach to it, I think he's-
Change people's mind.
seem like he had a much more critical tone in the beginning or something when that wasn't the case, right?
Of course, we need to.
Like this is where I uh-
Within the government and the Somali population. Here, this building alone-
Like this guy can't even fucking speak, brother. Come on, he is like not even-
You know, even when professional journalists are responding to this video, they at least
bring up the fact that he's a conservative commentator, you know what I mean?
Thanks.
We've talked about the before.
Okay, that's the before of this one comment that is like six fucking Reddit threads.
I have a 20 minute video.
All right.
No, I didn't skip the part where he said it was good journalism again.
He's saying that there was at least enough in this fucking ridiculous video to claim
that it was journalism because at least at the the random guy David Zimmer the random
conservative guy David Zimmer that works for like American excellence project or whatever
was was was bringing new information about how much how much money did these these these
organizations had gotten.
Okay. It just sucks. It sucks to see it. It sucks to see it, especially because Atriak is smarter than this.
His name isn't David Zimmer. That's the wrong person. No, there's a, no, it's like David Zimmerman or something.
He's a former law enforcement guy, isn't he? No, we found the guy. Pretty sure.
I mean, there's a photo of him on a website that we looked at with his name being David Zimmer.
Yeah, this is the guy. Is this a different guy?
wrong mark Zimmerman what do you mean bro mark Zimmerman wrong is this not the
guy on the video am I am I experiencing fucking like face blindness among for
white people. This is literally the guy. It's just a younger photo of the same guy. No.
Am I crazy? That is not the same person, not him fam. Am I being gaslit right now? Mark
Zimmerman is owning a pixel. Oh, that person is just making a joke. Okay. But like,
Is this am I doing anti-white racism right now? Not a good look, sweetie.
I'm pretty sure this is the guy from the American experiment.
No, this is a different guy who gave a reported and he lives in a different state.
We need the PSL guys to come in here and do a tibula analysis.
Confirmed us on Hades White guys, okay, regardless, random guy named David who weirdly enough
they never actually fucking give additional background information on comes in with the
amount of with like all the amounts of these different places have gotten in
federal funds okay sure great what does that do there is no there is nothing that
you do beyond that you don't go to people to say hey you don't go to the
fucking government to ask you don't go and ask anyone in the Department of
Human Services like this place got five million dollars why do they get five
million dollars like that. None of that shit took place. There is no, there is no real journalism
in the situation. Like I explained it over and over again. There is a better way. There
is a better way to cut right wing propaganda here. You could just say like, look at these
scary Somalis that are, uh, you know, doing a horrible job taking care of your
children with government funds. They could have done that. That would have been a
more effect. Well, I don't want to say more effective propaganda because obviously
bottom of the barrel propaganda is more effective than even trying to bring evidence to the table now.
But basically that would be at least harder to disagree with.
Yeah, the Ben Shabeebo route.
Let's go to the after.
So after this, again, I never mentioned fucking nixually after this two minute mark at the
beginning, then I go into how the system of us focusing on just the goal and the
bill signing allows opportunities for broader fraud in general to be ripe.
Then I go into what actually happened with real journalistic sources in this small-
Wait, why are you making a distinction between real journalistic sources and this right-wing slop merchant then?
I thought you said it was good journalism initially. Maybe I misunderstood, but it kind of felt like it wasn't just damning with faint praise.
I
Community of Minnesota dealing with
Millions if not billions of dollars of taxpayer money funneled into things like luxury vacations
So this is from a real investigation, right? This is from a real investigation
luxury cars talking about a real
Investigation place real evidence that came out of this investigation cash it overseas now
I want to give credit here the person who really blew this story up on social media and YouTube is this young
This person was not the person who blew blew that story up. Okay. This is a separate story
This is a totally separate story. So wrong
But we'll talk about which is a so-called learning center in in Minnesota
That was building the government's to do learning for kids here in Minnesota
Massive fraud is taking place within the government and the Somali population here
This building alone quality learning center is a daycare yet. They spelled learning wrong
I'm just frustrated because the problem isn't mentioning Nick is just how he talked about what Nick did exactly
Exactly and cloud district enjoyer is the one who initially
Actually sent me the atriak video
for the record and
Said oh, this is a really good video and then I watched the beginning of the video
And I was like this is not a very good video because he just fucking glazes them for the first like three minutes
that leering this daycare alone in 2025 has received $1.9 million dollars from the government.
The strange thing about these childcare centers is there's no one here right now.
It's midday on a weekday.
If you were to try to go inside, it's completely closed and the windows are all blacked out.
Not a great look.
Not a great looking in the video.
He goes around with this.
actually a pretty insane tag team of like a seemingly clout goblin zoomer and like this old
guy David here who's like got all the files and paperwork from 10 years of tracking this and their
combination is actually kind of beautiful and they go around and investigate all these different
buildings that are supposedly you know offering learning to kids or food or daycare or autism
preparedness and uh there's no kids and they're all charged in government large amounts of
money so I respect a lot the work of this this duo and what they did there's a part
I mean, look, maybe I'm willing to say, like, oh, you know, it's a misunderstanding or something
like that.
But like, when you when you say stuff like that, you're leaning into it, you're, you're
hamming it up.
The video I don't like, like when they have AI generated Sora videos of black people throwing
money in the air and luxury cars, I think it sends the wrong message with the core
journalism that's like that's the problem okay he makes it seem like oh it was just a little two
races with the ai videos but otherwise it's good that's not the takeaway from this video do you see
what i mean that's the problem because it wasn't any fucking core journalism you're validating
whatever the fuck the video was the main point was and it's bullshit you know because the core
journalism was what? Going outside of random facilities and demanding to see the children
with with two guys in balaclavas and a camera crew, yelling at the people that were in and around
these facilities, also to see the children, right, which is already ridiculous.
Going to a claiming that the Somali flag is actually the new flag of the state of Minnesota.
Somehow another fucking insane right-wing conspiracy that he put in there as well.
And then refusing to do any real journalism to see whether or not these places were getting,
uh, you know, their, their licenses, uh, checked year over year. This is one of the most regulated
industries in the country. Okay.
To go into invest, check any right now. I fucking love that. Where are the fact checks?
Asmongold is fact checking me. I have to see what that means. What is the fact check from
asmongold? I don't really know. I know that like, you know, Lebanon had like that thing
happen in sort of Egypt, right? Where they had like a militia group. But yeah, I didn't,
yeah, they don't, they do not like them at all. Why? Um, so basically whenever they used it,
they used to take, was it Jordan? I forgot which one. Um, and, and I'm not, this is,
I'm talking about a generality, right? And like, this is just something I observe.
I don't think he's fact checking me. I don't think he has the capacity to fact check me,
but I think he just wanted me to click on his, uh, stream, but it didn't work.
Anyway, but yeah, going back to it, I really enjoyed it.
So listen, let's back up here.
When it comes to government fraud, there's a general zoomed out pattern.
The rest of this video is him basically actually giving good information talking about fraud,
how it works, all this stuff.
My criticism with the video was just the initial, the initial like normalizing, the initial
like leaning into the already viral racialized fucking sloppiganda that this guy was crafting.
Okay, bottom of the barrel sloppiganda too.
It's an overshare but I think it's important I learned in therapy that the ungenerous
lens through which I view people was in part how I saw myself or the experience I went through.
I wasn't healthy and now I try to hope for the best when I don't have anything positive
to contribute. Thanks man. Okay. Hell yeah.
And not only is this like straight up fucking racialized lapaganda, okay, with no new
information whatsoever, but it's also very dangerous because now you got a bunch of other
copycat right wingers going around the random fucking kindergarten and daycares and shit.
that that they're googling around their neighborhood, dumbass dog beater. Yeah. Don't blame that guy. That's I love guys like that. Like, guys that don't really know like that that know that there's like a meta, but don't really fully know what the meta is and just be like, you're, I heard you're actually beating your dog.
And yeah, now they have done two things.
This video has done two things.
One, shift the attention, especially on the internet,
shift the major discourse in the direction
of inviting extra scrutiny and maybe a little bit
of racialized scrutiny, if I do say so myself,
towards the Somali community in Minneapolis, Minnesota,
the entirety of the Somali community
in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
It has also created a bunch of copycats
where people search for kinder gardens and daycares and child care facilities in their neighborhoods to see if there's any of them that have like weird names, you know, Muslim sounding names or anything like that, only to go and, you know, do the same thing that Nick is doing.
Okay.
This is obviously unsustainable. This is obviously dangerous. This is crazy.
Right.
And I don't like that this video is not only doing all of these things, but also potentially interfering in an ongoing investigation to actual fraud.
It fucking sucks.
Okay.
In any case, let's get back to the adults now.
Now, this is a Atriach being like, Oh, I just like, basically the video is this, this second
video that he did is, is, you know, talking about how, you know, he, he didn't actually
mean it.
And he was just trying to lean into the preexisting, leaning into the preexisting meta, the, the
already like very viral, the very viral video by offering it a little bit of praise.
But he actually is smarter than that, is what he's saying, okay?
It was disappointing regardless, but you know, what are you going to do?
I think you're being incredibly overly critical of someone who's politically aligned with you.
No, I'm not.
And that's the reason why I'm not saying he's racist or he's racist for literally
looking at this racialized slop and not calling it out for what it is.
As a matter of fact, a lot of other people are saying that and I'm yelling at them or saying that I
Was fairly generous in my assessment
If you think any sort of fucking criticism of a
You know any sort of I'm I do media literacy. I do media criticism. He's doing media. Of course, I'm going to criticize it
anyway so this was this was one of the first things that they came out with
all right well the investigation of a legend there's even more there's more
additional investigations taking place taking a new turn based on a viral video
Homeland Security agents visited dozens of daycare centers and health clinics
and Minneapolis on Monday after a well-known YouTube personality play more
than two dozen of these facilities were being used as fronts for someone
try to lure Asman fans. I mean, this is what I also always say about the Democratic Party.
You don't try to lure people in here by compromising on your values, your first principles. You
don't lure people in by being more racist or leaning into racialized propaganda. You
find areas of, you find areas, avenues where they agree with you. And then once
the door of charitability is open because they go, you know what? Maybe I was misinformed
about this song guy. He agrees with this thing that I fucking care about deeply. And he actually
is making a very convincing case defending this thing that I care about deeply. Maybe
I was actually wrong about him. Let me listen to all the other things he has to say to.
That's how it fucking works. There's no, there's never been a moment where I've
like tried to get Asmongold fans or lure Asmongold fans by being like, you know,
The government gold is right. It is kind of based to fucking try and laser every immigrant.
Why did I bother human trafficking when I should have just opened a Somali daycare? Oh God fucking gross.
Jonah Kaplan of CBS News Minnesota has been on the story from the start. He checked out the latest allegations and joins us now for Minneapolis. Jonah, good morning.
Kelly, good morning. Early childhood education. That is a program that's funded in part and
supported by Medicaid. But according to federal prosecutors that I spoke with, it's really
only vaguely atop their priority list when it comes to investigating fraud. Still, with
this video getting so much traction online, attention is back on the state government,
which is supposed to manage the money and regulate these critical facilities.
The Department of Homeland Security, most of them throwing other Muslims in the bus.
He's not a real Muslim.
Come on.
Thirty sites around the Twin Cities, appearing to ask businesses about nearby child care health
care facilities, investigating what Secretary Kristi Noem called rampant fraud.
The targets seem to come from this now viral video posted this weekend by YouTuber and
MAGA supporter Nick Shirley, alleging 10 child care and more than 20 health centers
in Minnesota are scammed businesses fraudulently receiving millions in federal funds.
So this is quality.
Also these guys should sue the fuck out of this guy for the record.
If a massive, if a journalism, if a journalistic outlet literally went in and did this kind
of video, they would get fucking sued into oblivion.
Straight up, I know they probably don't have all the funds to do something like that.
But the reality of the matter is, is the easiest fucking, it's the easiest lawsuit of all time.
There's a reason why media companies are, there's a reason why media companies actually operate
with certain standards.
Part of that is because they don't want to get fucking sued.
You can literally have the city sue him.
Leering Center, Mendocé Quality Learning Center.
The video has been amplified by the White House and Elon Musk, but state officials push
back on some of the claims.
On Monday, the State Department at Overseas Child Care Centers said each facility shown
had children at them during unannounced site visits in the past six months.
While we have questions about some of the methods that were used in the video, we do
take the concerns that the video raises about fraud very seriously.
CBS News also-
Basically, in this day and age, anytime anybody gets enough virality for the record, everyone
has to take it seriously, no matter how fucking stupid it is.
I foresee this being very damaging to discourse.
I think this is going to destroy discourse even further, especially at a time when we
don't have any sort of consensus reality.
It's going to be even f*****g dumber than this.
Due to the daycares mentioned in the video, all but two have active licenses and some were
inspected as recently as three weeks ago.
Many centers, like this one in South Minneapolis, were cited and fined for safety violations,
but investigators found no evidence of fraud.
separate from the child care center investigation, more than 90 people have been charged over
the past three years, and an alleged scheme to defraud state programs intended to feed
low-income kids, house the disabled, and provide services to autistic children. Federal
prosecutors warn the total amount of fraud could reach $9 billion. Though state officials,
including Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, challenged that estimate.
this month, CBS News revealed exclusive details about the expensive trips, luxury vehicles,
and high-class real estate that a group of convicted fraudsters bought with millions of
taxpayer money.
Governor Walz has also been steadfast in defending his administration's record in actions in
terms of fighting the fraud.
Those actions include state investigations and freezing of new licenses in 14 specific
high risk Medicaid supported programs.
Federal prosecutors also on those programs,
early childhood education is not one of them.
All right, well, Homeland Security officials
are on the ground in Minnesota,
conducting a massive investigation
into multiple fraud schemes happening in the city.
This comes as a group of Minnesota GOP lawmakers
urging Governor Tim Walls to resign.
Madeline Riviera joins us live from Washington
with the latest, good morning, Maddie.
Good morning, Attorney General Pambani
says they've been looking into these allegations of fraud for months, and they expect more
prosecutions will be coming.
So far, she says 98 people have been charged, 85 of whom are of Somali descent.
DHS officials posted footage on X yesterday showing federal agents on the ground in Minneapolis
investigating suspected cases of fraud in daycare and health care centers.
It comes after an independent reporter, Nick Shirley's video, investigating federally
funded child care centers in the twin cities went viral. Minnesota officials are pushing
back those saying previous investigations into the locations reference. What is the
investigation? This is not an investigation. I wish there was a leftist grifter that could
go to Florida and confront empty charter schools built by the sand. This is why even
go viral that way. There are so many instances of fraud. I love fighting fire with fire,
but if you think that this shit would bang in the same way, you're out of your
fucking mind because there is no Elon equivalent. There is no similar need by moneyed interest
to try to really foment as much Islamophobic narratives as possible that ties back to immigration,
that ties back the key issues that the Trump administration is choosing to, quote unquote,
This is a perfect shit storm because there is the the valid investigation that
is taking place. Okay, but you're never gonna have a situation where like the
vice president is gonna fucking retweet it. Elon Musk is gonna base boost it on
Twitter. It's just not gonna happen. It's just not gonna happen at all. Also
Republicans in general do not give a fuck about fraud. We know that already.
The rise of modern conspiratorial discourse is inversely proportional to diminishing critical thinking. Yes. Yes. The more, the more, I mean, this is simply put, people are getting dumber. Okay.
And the dumber they get, the worst this kind of stuff gets.
That's why I even brought up Project Veritas, right?
project Veritas puts more effort into their right-wing propaganda than Nick
Shirley does, right? They at least like try to identify someone that works at a
place. They try to get him liquored up. They do deceptive editing and they have
hidden cameras and stuff like that, but that's still more work than just
simply rolling up outside of facilities and demanding to see the
children there.
In short, these videos did not uncover evidence of fraud.
One child care business that's now under the microscope is Quality Learning Center in Minneapolis,
which misspelled learning on its sign.
They say they're fixing the spelling.
A lot of the...
Are you someone who thinks we've passed peak intelligence in society?
What?
America, maybe there are plenty of other places where people are still educating themselves
and would not fucking fall victim to this level of bottom of the barrel propaganda.
Project Veritas is a right wing think tank funded by a lot of right wing billionaires
that it loves these sorts of conspiracy theories and would do basically what Nick Shirley
is doing and would go around and whenever there's like some issue happening that Republicans
want to cut propaganda on, or Republicans want to raise the point of salience on, they would
go and try to, they would go and try to make YouTube videos with like hidden cameras and
stuff like that.
They would honey pop people, they would get them liquored up, they would overemphasize
the importance of the person that they've identified as a person that works in whatever
insert organization here.
done it for DSA. It's funny how they're implying that the daycare center itself
made the professional signage. I know that's so fucking stupid but that's like
not even something I can combat at this point. I like that, you know, I like that
they make it seem as though they wrote it down. Yeah Acorn is a great example
of this, right? I agree with your criticism and overall takeaway from the
Atroch videos but now watching the entire follow-up is kind of lame if
If you're going to continue the criticism, brother, I understand the point he's making.
I already said I, I understand what he was trying to do, which is to, you know, open
the door and trojan horse, a bunch of people into listening to him rant about listening
to him educate them about fraud and how it works and how, you know, what these guys
are doing.
Okay.
I get it.
I'm still stating that, uh, you can do that and it's understandable to lean into the, uh,
to the hyper viral video without actually saying it's good journalism or without actually, uh,
making it seem as though there was anything worthy of praise in that at all.
And the reason why I'm saying that is because I think, you know, I think that's, it's
bad.
It's wrong.
It's wrong to present yourself as agreeing with someone like fucking Nick Shirley when
I don't think Atriak, you know, looking into it a little bit further agrees with anything
that that person was saying at all.
It's honest.
I don't want to point fingers at anybody, but I do feel like what was done was someone
came to our building outside of operating hours.
When they're just specific sign on our door that says our days and our hours, we came
outside of those hours and
they claim, hey, they're
closed and they're still
making money. They're using
taxpayer money to work and
it's like you don't come
outside of operation hours
and then say they're using
taxpayer money. That's
completely false.
Regardless, state Republicans
are slamming Governors and
Wall saying they've been
sounding the alarm over fraud
in Minnesota's childcare
space for years.
You always ask for
charitability but can't
give it to anyone else.
Wait, what? No, I am
giving a HR Charitability.
Can I disagree with someone
While still being charitable is that our is that allowed? I don't think he's an enemy. I don't think he's an op
I don't think he's a bad person
Jesus fucking Christ dude. No you think any sort of like any sort of bare minimum criticism is
is
Automatically it just means that like I hate him. I want to fucking fight him or something. I'm not saying that at all I
Like him. I think he's he's a good person. Okay
Jesus fucking Christ, stop being fucking parasocial.
I am being charitable. Can I, can I literally disagree a little bit?
Is that allowed? Or is that not allowed? You can disagree with me as well for the record.
Plenty of people in the chat are, plenty of people in the chat are disagreeing with me because I am being charitable to Hedrog ironically enough.
It's alright guys, you're never going to agree with me 100%. Please, please stop seeking it out.
They say for the good of the state, Governor Walz should step aside. Minnesota needs accountability, a reset and new leadership that can get us back on the right track.
It's not just Minnesota facing accusations of money mismanagement. A California auditor, Russ, says it recently found millions in wasted dollars in state agencies.
All right, Maddie what type of daycare has the daycare open from two to ten that makes absolutely
This is my least babe, oh, I can't stand right winners, bro
This is literally
Dumbifying an already dumb audience
Well, I don't understand why a childcare facility would be open at these hours
So it must be fraudulent like if you want to say that there is at least if you want to say
What are the conditions that these children are?
Are you know being placed in the care being placed in the custody of other adults?
Look at all the fucking different times where they've had licensing issues. That's fine
But simply saying I'm too stupid to understand why a child care facility be open from two to ten as though
There aren't parents that work in those fucking time there. There is no concept of after-school care or they're like parents
Don't fucking work until 10 p.m. And
They need
Childcare facilities that are open at that at that hour
He's fucking stupid
this is so frustrating is a classic way that right-wingers argue I don't
understand this thing so there must be a grand conspiracy they fucking love doing
that right where his love doing actually stupid people love doing that it
just happens to be that right-wingers are usually the stupid people that I'm
talking about it's so fucking annoying dude
What the fuck well, why would it be open? No, sir. I'm not seeing that and then there's some reports in the New York
Post that all these places maybe you're not seeing that because you guys all make like
400 grand a year and
Probably hire a fucking nanny to take care of children and you don't work late into the night
Okay, maybe that's the reason why you can't comprehend why a childcare facility will be open at those hours
Fuck! Like there are, again, valid criticisms against the Quality Learning Center. And no,
it's not the fucking signage, okay? The valid criticisms against the Quality Learning Center
should be still matched up against normal daycares. You have to have a control group,
like a control daycare. What is the premier daycare that you can match against the child,
the Quality Learning Center to see, does the Premier Daycare also go through similar licensing issues, okay?
What are the big problems of the Quality Learning Center? All of this stuff is readily available. You guys are supposed, you have producers.
How can you not just like look through it?
I've not had children there at all and then suddenly when these reports come out, yeah
This is even dumber because this is at 7 p.m. It's 7 p.m. During this broadcast. I
Wonder why if you had children and you weren't rich enough to hire a fucking nanny. I wonder what you would do with your children
It's 7 p.m.
Where would you place your children if you didn't have enough money to hire a nanny? Oh
my god
of the children have started to arrive.
So somebody's hiding something here.
Well, the children were, what the report said,
I think is that the children were arriving.
They had parents bringing the kids there
for the optics of it.
And then like an hour later, the kids left,
just so it looked like that there were kids
showing up to these places.
But guy, I'm sorry, your dad,
I'm not dropping my kid off at a learning center
that spells learning, leering.
If you can't get it right on the signage,
really, we're gonna trust that.
I don't think so.
quality in there. There's a quality learing center. The quality learing center seems, I don't know, seems legit.
Look, whether or not that specific place was engaged in fraud, and it does seem a little sketchy, that all of a
sudden they're like, oh, here's a bus full of kids for one hour, right? That seems odd to me if that's true.
What we do know for a fact, and this has been reported not just by independent-
Ironically enough this kind of commentary does require you to not have object permanence
Okay
This kind of commentary requires you to not have object permanence. Oh children there children not there
This is weird this is strange like
It's so fucking stupid dude
Like I guess the only way to figure out whether or not this is a real
Childcare facility with actual clients parents that are dropping off their children is if you have a camera outside of it
24 seven and the moments that the cameras off is when you don't know maybe the maybe there's a you
know fuckery going on who knows that's the only way that you can consume information there is no need
for for you know figures of authority that you can lean into investigations that they
could potentially conduct the only way to know if something is real is if you can see it in
in front of you at all points, okay?
Oh!
In journalists, it's not just Republicans yelling about it.
The New York Times had a big story
talking about well over a billion dollars in fraud
in this state and the US attorney.
Oh, the New York Times, you say.
Interesting.
The New York Times, you say.
So the New York Times was covering it
because I thought for the past couple of days
kept saying, no one's covering it, no one's covering it, no one in major media is covering
the story. But now you, huh, interesting. Once again, if you're devoid of object permanence,
you obviously look at this and you forget that yesterday, Fox News was claiming no one's
covering it. Actually, they might have even said this in this news article. No one was
covering it until this kid went out there and bravely reported on it.
They said the number could be much higher than that, closer to nine billion.
billion and he said when he looked at the overall spend on Medicare and Medicaid in the state it
was somewhere in the neighborhood of 18 billion dollars he says at least half if not more he
believes it's fraudulent. So you're right it's around nine billion dollars just in Minnesota but
now we're hearing as you just heard from Madeleine it could be California this is probably not
going to end Lawrence just in Minnesota. Well this is what the administration is surging in
ICE and they've already found criminal aliens that are there on the ground. We have the
the director of eyes tie lines on later.
This would have to say about these sanctuary city policies
driving the fraud here.
What we're seeing is there's always a tie
when it comes to sanctuary jurisdictions
where you can hide in plain sight.
You see a lot of these fraudsters use a lot
of the sanctuary rules and sanctuary protections
to enact a criminal fraud just like this.
We've been on the ground for so long
looking into these states that are conducting
these type of material fraud. And when home and scary investigations goes into these businesses,
you know, there is criminal activity when it comes to labor trafficking, child trafficking.
Oh yeah. That's the other side of this. Yeah. Breaking US Justice Department announces 98
people have already been charged for fraud in Minnesota. 90 of these were under president
Biden's DOJ. I'm not Mr. Team sports at all, but that's the other far, that's the
other part of the story that is incredibly frustrating that like this investigation
started under Biden's Department of Justice. Okay? What the fuck? They're making it seem
like Donald Trump personally went in there, found these criminals and is, is, is arresting
them. Things don't work the way that you think they do. They, things don't work like this.
Investigations take time. They take effort. They take money. You have to go and actually
sometimes even surveil these locations, right?
Not in the way that like a random nuisance streamer
is doing on YouTube, but like actually do it.
You have to build a case, you have to charge people.
And then you go and you defend the argument.
You go to a court.
And you defend the information that you found
and you convince a jury.
okay and then after that these people are convicted and then they go to prison
this is a very long process I can't believe I just have to explain the the
details of how this stuff or is like basic shit it sucks normally in a
civilized society I don't need to explain the shit to anyone because they
all understand it. There's a shared understanding of how some things work. Okay. But when there
is no shared understanding of how certain things work, how investigations work under
the Department of Justice, for example, and how long that process is and how the court
system works, for example, you have to always go back to the fucking drawing board
on every single issue, on every single issue.
And then there are still people who go,
la, la, la, la, la, I can't hear you.
You seem biased, libtard, and then that's it.
This is genuinely a major issue.
Hold on, are you upset?
See, this is what I mean.
Hold on, are you upset that the fraud folks getting busted?
But happy that Biden is the one who started,
but angered that Trump is the one continuing it?
I'm so confused.
Of course you're confused.
You're fucking stupid.
everything confuses you
where did i say i'm upset about the fraud folks getting busted
i never said that
i said it's good
i said it's a good thing
there's never been a moment
where i've said it's a bad thing
Of course, you're gonna be fucking confused
And then he goes big w I got you to notice me it's like okay, dude. Yeah, you were just pretending I know I know
You were pretending you were simply pretending to be
Mentally deficient and everyone is praising you for it
Also, it's additionally funny to say that Trump is busting these fucking, you know,
these fraudulent people when Donald Trump is notoriously pardoning people who have done
fraud over and over again.
Donald Trump himself is doing fraud.
So fuck do you mean Donald Trump is busting fraud?
He is the fraud enjoyer.
And you might say, well, Biden has to, Biden's part of people to, yeah, fuck Biden.
The difference between you and I is I don't give a fuck about Joseph Robinette branded.
I don't have a dog in that fight.
I don't want to defend him.
If it's a, if it's an indefensible thing, you're the one who wants to defend Donald
Trump.
Yes, this is one of the examples, one of the main examples, pardoned by Trump
after being convicted of 12 counts of bank fraud and tax evasion, don't have to
to pay back 17.8 million in restitution or servitude of your sentence. But of course it
doesn't matter, right? And it's usually, it's unironically a case where it's pure projection,
okay? It's pure projection from Trumpies that turn around and go, oh dude, you actually
want some mollies to do fraud. No, I don't, I don't. I don't want anyone to do fraud.
And I'm glad that the Department of Justice was actually investigating it.
But I'm also mad at Trump for dropping certain frauds when those people are close to him.
Certain cases of fraud, $47 million fraud case dropped by Trump after White or Horn made
huge donations to his campaign and inaugural fund, not Somali.
The OJ dismisses case against a Trump donor after White House fired career prosecutor.
Once again, this kind of hypocrisy does not fucking matter, right?
It does not matter.
There's another one.
Yeah, breaking.
This man ran a $1.2 billion nursing home fraud scheme and was pardoned by Trump.
We talked about that too.
That was even funnier because I think he is a dual citizen and an immigrant of immigrant
background.
It makes absolutely no sense on people on the left argue over the stupid shit
You know what they're putting this out there for you to spend your precious time talking about it's fucking stupid
If you know this why do it great question?
The reason why I do it is because I will fucking pull people off the the stupid hill
and I will fight no matter what okay because I cannot I cannot live in a society
Where everyone is is going down stupid hill
Everyone is just jumping off the stupid hill.
We're at the hilltop.
I'm going to fight back.
I'm going to try to pull them off the hill for the best of my ability.
Okay.
It is crazy.
way too late brother yeah it is but I'll keep doing it no matter what
Oh
That's the other side of this story that is like really funny too
These people were so mad at me for saying if Republicans cared about Medicare fraud
They would arrest Rick Scott. Well, I said something different than arrest Rick Scott, but that's what I said
And they were so mad at me for saying that now
I'm not a pretender. I'm legit dumb. I just jumped in here on now. I have context
You're more upset about the hypocrisy got it. No, I'm not even more upset about the hypocrisy
Okay, the hypocrisy is upsetting
I think I'm more upset about the fact that no one gives a fuck about hypocrisy in this situation
Because everyone just cares about the bias
but it cares about whoever you know they're they're on board with whichever
movements they're on board with. I care about people becoming dumber and dumber
okay that's what I care about. Federal prosecutors it was really during COVID
that fraudsters set up these fake restaurants or sham businesses and health
clinics that would provide things like meals to school children or behavioral
health services or housing to people with addiction. And because during COVID you
didn't have the same checks and balances, you had social distancing, you couldn't
have the site visits, you couldn't have the in-person inspections, well the
fraudsters got away with it all and provided the receipts and collected
boatloads of cash from us, the taxpayers. More than 90 people have been
charged in the schemes, mostly Somalis. You said kill them because you
hate American pieces of terraced glazing dictator cock riding fat self obsessed slop streamer
fyi you're as good. You are so good. That's why Zach has twice your numbers. Well, you
can't help but be obsessed with them, brother. I don't think I'm the one who's obsessed with
him. I think you might be. I like that you also bring up a content creator by his first
name. Like you guys are besties. Me and my best friend, you're an adult man. What
you doing you're an adult you not have any self-respect that's so pathetic
brother please that's that's sad and more than 60 people have been I'm glad
you finally noticed are the worst people from his community call him by his
name no it's not even a bit it's like on ironic these guys are like my best
friend Zach Zachary my beloved he's killing you he's got so many more
reasoning okay great he's always had more viewers than me he's a larger
content creator who's been around for a lot longer than I've been you know I
don't understand why you care you got zero viewers like do you do you think
you're a part of the team
Now you have this viral video getting traction online from influencer Nick Shirley, and he
visited several daycares, Somali-owned daycares in the Twin Cities, and basically accused them
of doing the same thing, running these sham operations where kids didn't show up but still
billed the federal government and collected millions of dollars in Medicaid funds.
We visited those sites too, as did state inspectors many times over the last six months, and we
found the facts on the ground tell a different story.
Those daycares, many of them were written up for safety violations, things like maybe
busted equipment or staff training issues, but that's not the same as being fraudulent.
So it's important to put-
Wait!
What?
of what? No. Now, I feel like I'm watching you yesterday. Yeah. Oh my God. Oh my God.
This into context. Granted, fraud is indisputably an issue in Minnesota. And next year, it's
going to turn up the heat continuously on state officials, including Minnesota Governor
Tim Walz, who's running for reelection. And there are 14 programs, Medicaid funded programs
that are currently under investigation by state and federal government. But childcare is not
one of them. Again, this is something we're going to keep following well into next year.
No way. This is new information for me, except no one gives a shit. That's the other
point okay no one cares because this is boring okay he didn't go and like try to fucking uncover
only the the most Somali style fraud that could have ever existed you know what i mean like
he didn't do any of that shit so it's not is not cool it's not poppin who gives a fuck right
bro didn't they have to see children and now you got fucking dumbasses doing the same exact thing
Look, more investigative journalism in Columbus, Ohio, and yet again, Somalian!
Oh, daycares with no children.
It's a day case, sir, they're gonna go buy Somalians and stuff like that.
Have you ever seen any kids in this place here?
No, not that I know of. I've just seen it, the building itself.
I've never seen nobody come out the building or go in the building.
Well, I'm convinced.
Broad.
Never seen anybody over there?
No, not at all.
So right now, we are in front of the Great Mines Learning Academy.
This is one of the many daycare centers, learning centers here in Columbus,
Ohio, that are associated with the Somali.
Oh, damn, they found the Somalis in Ohio are doing the same thing.
Community, as you know, Nick Shirley put out a bombshell report about all
these fraudulent daycare facilities in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
So we wanted to come out to Columbus, Ohio.
and investigate what might be going on in the second largest Somali community in the United States of America.
So this place here is the first place we're going to knock, and we're going to see if anybody picks up or answers the door.
You know what's really annoying? I think there's an environment of suspicion around mainstream media.
So I will go so far as to say I have an easier time going through mainstream narratives
And cutting across the noise when they do stuff like this as well because like the mainstream does
mainstream news and local news reporting engages in this kind of behavior as well
Greatly overemphasizing crime for example and and building on this like crime panic narrative
This was a huge deal. It warped the minds of so many fucking boomers
okay, including even people that I know and love and respect and
And I had it I think an easier time
cutting through that propaganda, the show facts about how this thing that people
were actually greatly overemphasizing was not a real thing that was going on.
Obviously years later, the same mainstream resources and legacy publishers
started covering stuff like, oh, why is there a big crime panic? People think
there is crime happening everywhere, but where they actually live is
is this real? You know, we saw all those headlines like years later, right? But it was, in my
opinion, much easier to disparage and go through and critically examine those hysterical narratives
when the mainstream media was doing it, as opposed to like random independent content
creators, because I think people automatically assume, unless content creators have been
around for a very long time and have developed baggage as a consequence of being around
a very long time because you know when you're around for a very long time you got a lot of
fucking haters and a lot of people who have like a checklist of things that they can fucking yell
uh yell at you over uh sometimes it's made up in my case many of it is just like complete
fucking insanity but it doesn't matter it still gets the job across in terms of attacking
someone's credibility and then there are valid reasons to like disagree with people
but unless someone already has that pre-existing baggage right you it's it's much more
difficult to just like tackle the argument from a substantive perspective because people
literally have a higher degree of relatability and a higher degree of trust for a random
dickhead with a microphone than they do when that random dickhead with a microphone is actually
working for a CBS local news affiliate. It is pretty crazy.
Let's see.
So it's locked.
We're ringing the doorbell here knocking on the door.
Here's a virtual tour of this daycare.
Nobody's picking up.
So we're not sure what the hell's going on here, but we're going to get out of
here.
Now there's somebody over there.
Hey.
hell is going on here, dude. Why did they do this? Probably to, to, let's be real. They
probably did it because it's a big conspiracy. It's like a Somali style conspiracy. Look at
all the, dude, they built this entire thing. They built this entire thing, put it on their
website specifically so they could steal money, I think. Look at that. We didn't
to go to Columbus, Ohio, and even on the internet, we were able to find at least more evidence.
We were able to see the inside of the fucking facility that he's talking about.
But notice how there are no children.
Why are they not showing us the children?
I wonder why.
Perhaps because that would be fucking illegal.
Yeah, they're doing Somali-style AI on this, clearly.
I'm sure you see the reports over the weekend about all the daycare centers in Minnesota.
We just wanted to see what was going on.
Do you know anything about this place here?
It's a daycare center owned by Somalians and stuff like that.
Do you ever see any kids there?
Not because they use the back doors.
I want to know if they use the back door.
Yeah, I've never seen the back door, but they use the back door.
But have you ever seen any kids?
You live around here?
Yeah, I'm in this building right here.
Oh, you're in this building?
Yeah.
You're in this building too?
Let me ask you have
He's like no, no shut the fuck up
You already said that there's an alternative reason for why he might not have actually seen someone. Let me ask another person
Let me ask another person maybe he'll give me something better than you ever seen any kids in this place here
No, he's saying there's they're using the back door to all the fuck you've never seen anybody over there
Yeah, oh, this is a good take. Imagine if Pablo Torre went to the Clippers front office
and started screaming at someone, random secretary to call Steve Ballmer over to dispute the claim
that he didn't acquire quiet Leonard's fraudulently. Everyone would laugh at Pablo. Yeah. Also, we
get fucking sued into oblivion and except even before that point, even before that
happened, remember, Pablo Torre actually did investigation ahead of time because that's
how investigations work. You have to identify contracts. You have to look at inconsistencies
and then you have to move off of the inconsistencies. You can't just assume, for example, that
a team is actually engaging in like fraudulent behavior and then go outside of the front
office and start yelling and then be like, well, if they're not giving me the answers
that I'm demanding then that must be literally have a sign release sign of
release the laws called FERPA.
I've just seen it the building itself I've never seen nobody come out the building or go in the building.
So we came to the back just like those guys suggested and yeah MPR on the Nick Shirley video
University of Minnesota media law professor Jane Curtley says new viral
video is flashy but absent of facts to back up its claims and its lack of
transparency could be considered deceptive. Yeah I know but you're not a
a fucking YouTuber that's trying to ham up clout to the best of your ability. So you're
not going to lean into the fucking veracity or you're not going to lean into the fucking
crew. You're not going to tarnish the credibility of Nick Shirley. You know, what the fuck do
you know? You're just a goddamn media law professor, right? Obviously biased.
Let's keep yelling at the one fucking guy who is trying to bring some fucking common
sense back to this conversation there's nothing here yeah we can keep poking
around but there's so many of these centers to go to we're just getting
started so we're gonna go around the city where hell yeah dude hell yeah
what is this why is there nothing yeah why is there nothing on today's front
page about a story that broke in 2022. Why? I know, I know that like a lot of, you know,
you know, the second thing that's going to come out of this, right? All the dumbasses,
all the dumbasses are going to fucking turn around and say, Oh, these guys are such
elitists. All of these hoity, toy, media professionals with their college degrees
are such elitists they want to gatekeep the information
okay
no they're making fun of you because you're fucking stupid
i need you to understand is there true to the fact that
mainstream media
obviously wants to gatekeep
and and control flows of information certainly but in this circumstance
they're making fun of you because you're a stupid person
i'm sorry
is just the truth
and it's i think important
for this moment
if you've been dupe by video like this one
It's important for you to recognize that maybe you're not as smart as you thought
you were, so you don't actually get duped again.
A little bit of social stigma in this circumstance could be good for you.
It could help you be a little bit more critical next time around.
Okay.
You can't combine your, uh, stupid with, I need you to understand
they don't work together.
I don't want to be pessimistic, but regardless, if they infinitely throw culture shit to try
to stick to the wall as long as nothing improves, then people will fall back on how the economy
is terrible, which means discontent towards the right wing.
What is the goal of the right wing except fascism, the Reborn capitalism?
I mean, this kind of stuff clearly is working though.
This is clearly working. You understand? This is discourse for the last like three days now.
Nobody's talking about the Epstein stuff. Nobody's talking about the economy. Everyone
is going, oh, classic liberals, classic libtards, classic leftist. They just want fraud to happen
as long as it's Somalis doing the fraud. All Somalis are criminals or should be
treated like criminals and maybe even deported, denaturalized and deported if they have
American citizens is the same thing that happened with the fucking Haitians are eating cats
and dogs thing.
And before someone says, well, there were no Haitians eating cats and dogs, but there were
some Somalis that were arrested and prosecuted and convicted for crimes.
Okay, there was, there was a black woman who actually was experiencing a mental health
episode and was literally trying to eat her cat.
people literally pointed to that to say see Haitians are eating cats and dogs
notice how that's an identical situation now all of a sudden not in
Springfield by the way but it doesn't fucking matter that's my point they're
not in fucking that the last guy we looked at is not in Minnesota anymore
he's in fucking Columbus Ohio he's in Columbus Ohio what's he looking at
That Somalian daycares, okay, but it's basically all that you've been covering as well.
We'd love to hear about the FC stuff and the other news.
Yes, the reason why I'm covering this is because I don't think there are a lot of independent
reporters or independent commentary people out there that are looking at this with the
level of scrutiny that it requires.
One is eating Nick Shirley's dick right now all up and down the internet from liberals,
centrists, all the way to fucking right wingers who understandably are going to do that regardless.
And that's the reason why I have to combat it, because that's what I do, I combat misinformation.
If there's a major fucking media narrative going around, if a major, if there's a major
super viral story that is built on shaky ground, of course I have to fucking,
and I'll talk about it and identify exactly why it's wrong and bad to do this.
No, Minnesota man absolutely loses mind during Nick Shirley's investigation into the fraud
accuser of one of the Somali community in concentration camps.
Shirley was seen keeping his school as a man grew increasingly unhandled.
I want to ask you, yes, sir.
Why are you sensationalizing the propaganda?
What are we sensationalizing?
Attack our community.
What's your final objective?
We're not attacking your community by any means are you making good money from this? We're looking for fraud
Can you answer our question? Where's the far e-transification that we six? It's not there. How much how much money are you?
How much money are you making?
How much money are you making on this YouTube?
So you're making money on sensationalize it my job attacking the Somali community. I'm not attacking you guys
We're asking I'll tell you a reason why this is happening. All right. Let me tell you the reason why you're
This is has nothing to do with race. This is this is absolutely has to do with us being muslim
No, it does not all right and us being from Africa. This is a constitutional argument. So you don't want us here
Change the freedom of religion say listen. We don't want Muslims in this country anymore. We're not saying no
No, no, no, no when I go on to your comments, right now
When I go on to your comments my comment what I see is people that say we do not want Muslims here
kick every single Muslim in Minnesota out of Minnesota.
You are, listen, you're preparing for the Somali community to maybe be taken to concentration camps.
Just a big Japanese community, alright?
I mean, the fact that people will look at this and act like this is hysterical is so silly,
because that is precisely what the fucking Trump administration is already doing for other minority groups, alright?
And that is what he has said and what Trump's fans are saying about the Somalis in
Not just Minneapolis, but seemingly wherever the fuck they are on on US soil
They're talking about denaturalizing the Somali Americans and shipping them out
Saying that every single Somalis actually engaged in this, you know welfare fraud. That's not how any of the shit works
works with the exception of
the defendants themselves who like, uh, who, who turned around and said, like, Oh, this
is racism. You should stop investigating us. Of course they're going to fucking say that
they're criminals. Okay. I have yet to hear from a single fucking, uh, Somali person in
Minneapolis that has said, Oh, uh, don't arrest the fraudulent, uh, people. As a matter
of fact, every single Somali person in Minneapolis is saying, of course you're going to fucking
investigate and throw in a prison the people that have been conducting this fucking widespread
fraud. It's so stupid.
People who hate Muslims, who want us out of here for being Muslims are using your material.
Islamophobes, use your material. People who hate Islam, use your material. Stay to us
We don't want you here change the constitution, but guess what let me tell you something. Guess what?
You know you are what you do
You hate Muslims. I'm not saying you hate you know, you hate Muslims. Why are you attacking us?
Are we the only community that suffers because of fraud?
Are we the only I'm gonna move on from this
I'm gonna move on from this by showing you the the purpose here the primary purpose of what this kind of propaganda serves, right?
Stephen Miller, who is not a random person, as you guys know, very important figure in the Trump
administration under Trump 1 and Trump 2. Stephen Miller says, what's interesting about Miller's,
sorry, Stephen Miller says, someone should write an alternative historical novel where Americans
are the first to master the automobile, the first in flight, the first to harness the
atom, the first to land on the moon, but just keep going and never open our borders to the
entire third world for 60 years. Stephen Miller has talked about the naturalizing immigrants
as well. James, sir, awake, he says, what's interesting about Miller's recent ransom immigration
is that he's not talking about illegal immigration. He's attacking legal immigration from anywhere
other than Europe and Japan. And as in this tweet, saying the US would have been much
better off without it. That's obviously a very common position on right wing Twitter,
but it's unusual to see a high place White House effectively saying to Latino
and asian south asian immigrants who are the vast majority of legal immigrants
over the past six years
it'd be better if you'd never come
what miller is implicitly calling for in that week is the repeal of the heart
seller act of nineteen sixty five
which reform the u.s. immigration system and made it easier for people outside
of europe to migrate here
again
as very common position on the right but oddly not something republics
congress have shown any interest in doing
That is their goal. Also, Matt Gaetz, former Trump attorney general,
pick had sex with underage girl while in Congress, White House ethics report says.
And now, and also another Floridian Florida school district cut ties in 2022 with Florida
GOP candidate James Fishback over sexual misconduct allegations involving a minor.
Fishback is called the allegations that he had inappropriate relationship with a
female student who was a minor completely false.
I mean, it's just weird how it
keeps happening. You know, for
found in the kitchen, but it is
what it is. That's what we got
to deal with. All right. Um.
You're just not telling me for
the first time. What is this
shit account? But this just
happened. It's your chest. The
What is this shit account, but this just happened?
It's your chest.
The Trump administration officially frozen all child care payments from Minnesota following
reports of major fraud.
They've also launched a fraud reporting portal at childcare.gov.
Tim Walz received a demand letter from HHS ordering a full audit of potentially, oh
my God, great.
This is the power of citizen journalism.
Thank you.
Thank you, Nick.
Shirley, you did it.
You did it.
will not be able to go to a child care facility now or the child care facilities that exist
will be in an even worse state of disrepair because they can't get fucking federal funds.
Awesome. Hell yeah. And before people say, huh, what, what, you love fraud? No, I don't.
And there's a reason why the investigation was being conducted already into whether
or not there was fraud going on without actually freezing all the fucking funds
The childcare facilities now children have to suffer not just Somali children either white children will also suffer as well in Minneapolis. Great.
Isn't the real investigation over. No, there's subsequent investigations have been launched post the the initial investigation.
It's so crazy that like Twitter clout is enough to move the entire administration if you can't understand how dangerous this is how devastating this is how much if you cannot comprehend
If you cannot comprehend how awful this shit is and what it spells for America's future,
I don't know what to tell you.
We are fucking objectively cooked, okay?
We are done.
This country is over.
The American project is done.
A bunch of hysterical weirdos, a bunch of hysterical weirdos can foment a narrative, cook up a
a narrative. What is this? This was the other part left out of the vid.
Journalist Nick Shirley surrounded as he tries to find a company called Advanced Mobility.
I don't think Twitter clout moved the administration. They're cynically using it to enact more cruelty.
I know, I know, but it's enough, the Twitter clout is enough for people to go along with
it without thinking about like how silly or dangerous this is.
Anyway, I don't give a fuck about this kid anymore.
All right, let's look at the last piece of right wing infighting.
Let's look at something funny.
Alex Jones is taking the gloves off.
I was gonna say you were good this day, but since you don't get the purpose of that video might be better for y'all in Somalia, ha, we've all had enough Muslims and Somalians, so it's best not to be defending them right now, or you'll just be in the same group.
This is from a DM conversation I have with someone I know about this video. This shit's got real world consequences. Yeah.
Yeah, it's just the expanding permission structure on people being white supremacists. Alright, anyway.
No, the chatter is saying that like his his conservative fucking friends are saying shit
like that to him. The whole point is it gives people free roam to be racist.
I'm gonna say that I got to investigate her now. I got a bad feeling. I have a bad feeling.
God gave me a good brain. I already knew. I dropped the ball. I apologize. She's a
globalist agent. I dropped. Oh shit. Klandis is a globalist agent. Oh hell yeah.
Hell yeah, the ball and I failed you and I'm sorry. I got to follow my God every time
It's never wrong and I saw so much more. She did I
Love her people threatened me and all their doxing of people and all it you think that's gonna make me go away
All you did was wake me up like a nuclear test site waking up Godzilla
So just get your asses ready because you want a war that's right strap me to a Tomahawk missile and
I want your war, I want it all, I want the dancing, I want the lies, I want the attacks,
I'm going to take it.
That's a dog was over working for the Jews, right, brother?
I don't know how to report this to you, but Alex Jones is not the bigger anti-Semite
in this conversation.
It brings me no pleasure to report this, but actually Alex Jones is the one who is saying
clandestine is working for the globalist, but is actually attacking clandestine partially
because clandestine is doing anti-semitism the wrong way, okay?
You're the only person in the world that smiles when listening to Alex Jones.
Why?
He's my goat.
You are for the deep state and the Democratic Party of the CIA and my six and I see your ass. So you just get ready
Bro, Nick, what is this more viewers in you live if I holy shit, that's crazy. Yeah, it's fucking bought it
Okay
It's not okay to punch Nazi by the way stop violence weirdos I suspect this is a
uh, botted my ass. Dude, I love that you literally went from trying to be like, I'm an anarchist.
It's not okay to punch Nazis, by the way. Stop violence, weirdos. Oh wait, no, you were
being sincere. Okay, I just realized, oh no, you are fucking Nazi. That's so funny,
you botted my ass. Yeah, no, totally. Those are real numbers.
That's legit cope. Is it? Is it legit cope?
The real meta is with clandus. Let's be real. Candace Owens owns Nick Fuentes. That's real.
That's a real audience.
This ain't my first rodeo. That's why Alice Jones is coming after her.
legit coke one day. You sure she ain't botting? No, I checked. I don't think Candace is botting.
Okay, everything that Alec shows you say about a global peto-elique cabal existing was correct,
but he's stuck doing shit like this. I know such a sad state of affairs for the goat, dude.
Look how far the mighty have fallen. Literally, he said there was a deep state elite pedophilia
cabal. That's number one. He said Democrats would start rounding up people, kidnapping them,
and throwing them in concentration camps. That's also happening. It's just not the
the Democrats doing it, right? And in this beautiful moment where Alex Jones could just
straight up say, look, I was right, I was right about everything. He can't say it no
more because he's compromised. He's up the asshole of this administration that's doing
all that shit. So he has to sit there and defend it.
hang out on Christmas Eve or New Year's or not. But when I did hang out with
so people got right here. He's not a Democrat. He's not a Republican. He's a
populist. He's a freedom fighter. He's libertarian. People got real mad at him
too. I have the same I have the same LaBoubou as Alex Jones by the way, which
is crazy. Yes, I do have the same exact one.
Did you listen to the coast to coast and when you were younger? I could totally see you having that on in the background
Do a home work in college? No
But I've been a Alex Jones fan for a man for many many years
From afar the concept of Alex Jones having a normal family home and Christmas Street. Yep
That's real
You know it's really funny about this by the way his fans literally were like
Oh, you're you're a part of the deep state satanic pedophilic cabal because you're you know, this is a Pazuzu. This is a satanic
Satanic thing his can he got hit with a cancel culture beam from his own
Band base. So we had to go for everyone flipping out believing this some type of secret satanic message
Let me clarify things for you my 21 year old daughter got one as a joke and asked me to make a joke meme
I don't get much of it, but she said it would be fun
We are going to blow up the labubu soon at the shooting range with tenorite and that will make it all okay winky face
Yeah, he's audience captured.
Okay, let's watch something that's like somewhat fun, I guess.
Let's do a yearly dose of good news.
Renewable energy generated more electricity than coal, for the first time in history.
In medicine, doctors can now effectively treat newborn babies for malaria, something
there was impossible until this year.
Okay, vaccine conspiracy, not good.
No, I'm kidding, that's a good thing, but...
Dozens of endangered animal species are recovering around the world.
And the Pacific just got a marine protected area half the size of China.
I'm Freddy, this is Good News, and this is our biggest episode of the year, as
we're looking at the biggest winds of 2025.
Our first story brings incredible news for the planet.
For the first time ever, renewable energy generated more electricity than coal globally.
Between January and June, renewables supplied over 5,000 terawatt hours worldwide, surpassing
coal for the first time.
China and India drove most of this shift despite rising energy demand from economic growth.
China's solar grew by 43% and wind by 16%, compared to last year.
Red coast still being the largest energy source at 58%, renewables have expanded rapidly.
And India saw even bigger renewable jumps.
Wind and solar increased by 29% and 31%.
This helped the country reduce coal and gas use by over 3%.
All of this pushed the world past another big milestone.
More than 40% of global electricity now comes from low carbon sources.
Europe played a major role in hitting that milestone.
Data released this year shows the European Union already generated 71% of its electricity
from clean sources in 2024, with solar accounting for 11%, surpassing coal for the first time
as well, just to put the scale of solar into perspective.
Global solar generation is now large enough to power up.
This is making me realize that you only cover bad news on your broadcast of the mount brother
An entire year passed by and the only thing he's talking about is is
God, this is all
financial relief in australia the world's largest marine
Major winds for forest protections real-time emission tracking
Endangered species recovering and well, I guess he already
He already summarized it, but it's like
like it's just, you know, it's 60 minutes long and most of it is in the field of renewables
and preservation, which is good. It's a good thing. Okay, lion's share coming from China
and not even because like they have consistently increased their renewable grid, but also
because they're literally facilitating the renewable energy initiatives with their productive output.
Even this green energy push is happening predominantly outside of the west,
despite the U.S. trying to undermine it. Yeah, not to be that guy, but I am going to be that
fucking guy. We are literally actively looking at the situation realizing that China owns a complete
monopoly over rare earth minerals and and have decided that we are going to knock out the table
in its entirety by doubling up our focus on oil and gas because that's the that's the one energy
source that we have at least some control over.
So, you know, what is this?
Well, well, well, well, we'll go training on Twitter.
You write again, but too early.
Oh, Rick Scott's 1990s healthcare frost scandal resurfaces in the Minnesota debate.
Oh, hell yeah.
I love that.
I love that fucking slander.
Let's go.
It's not even slander.
India completely relies on China for their solar cells. Everybody relies completely on China pretty much for their solar.
China is responsible for almost all the batteries, the rare earth minerals that need to be processed and refined for the batteries.
They're they're responsible for all of the output in general pretty much all the output in general
This is part of the reason why America doesn't want to work with renewables a big part of the whole
Okay, you guys want to hear something about renewable energy?
That is somewhat of a conspiracy I
Think the reason why you don't really hear about climate change as much nowadays under the Trump administration
Of course, you're not gonna hear about it, but even like liberals don't talk about it
is because the story about climate change from the American perspective is not about climate change.
The story about climate change from the American perspective is about Chinese dominance, Chinese
control over the energy, Chinese control over renewable energies in particular, China completely
controls the processing of all of the materials you need for renewable energy. They also have
have overproduced, they've also overproduced the solar panels, their productive output is
far beyond what profit margins would normally dictate.
And the reason why they're overproducing is because, and Xi Jinping has talked about it
as well, the reason why they're overproducing is because they're making it as cost effective
as possible to swap over, okay, to switch over to renewable energies for all these
other countries. Many countries are actually recognizing that it is becoming cost effective
to lean into renewable energies for the first time ever. And this is the reason why they're
swapping over their grids. The problem from the American perspective is that this undermines
oil and gas. This undermines the position or the reliance that people have on oil
gas especially not in the short term but certainly in the long term. Okay.
And once the entire world moves away from the petrodollar and does a full-blown green transition,
then all of a sudden China will have a tremendous upper hand over the United States of America
and all the oil and gas giants, because all of a sudden now they have complete monopoly
over the refinement and the procurement of rare earth minerals, okay? They already have
it, but it will be far more consequential and offer them far more power in the global
stage when they are the singular, uh, the, the, the only party that controls the entirety
of the output.
Okay.
It's like if America was single-handedly the only oil and gas country on the planet.
No Saudi Arabia, no OPEC plus just America.
They already have a cartel.
America has tremendous control over the cartel.
But having said that, imagine if the United States of America was the only oil and
gas provider around the entire planet.
That's what it would look like from the American perspective.
That's what they're fearful of.
And instead of investing, which at this point, it might be far too
late anyway, and instead of investing in like procurement and
refinement outside of China, which they are leaning in the
direction of a little bit, you know, going to Australia and
other places, right?
that might be far too late to do so at this stage,
because their productive capabilities are far, far more efficient.
The Chinese productive capabilities are far more efficient in this regard.
Much easier to lean into the incredibly cost-effective grids that China is providing.
That's the real reason why America is not talking about climate change, don't care about climate
change and are leaning into the oil and gas industry.
Oh, well, you know, that disrupts the market.
China has disrupted the market.
China is not a free market economy.
We tried.
We let them into the World Trade Organization.
We set our businesses over.
By the way, the only reason why China has disrupted the market and they're not
a free market economy for the record is because they don't, there is central control over every
capitalist country as well.
We have a process called subsidies in the United States of America and in many Western
liberal democracies, right?
We subsidize energy production in this country.
is, problem is, we don't actually, by design, control how those subsidies are utilized.
Some of the subsidies are obviously utilized to make it as cost effective as possible,
but it's virtually impossible to combat against China, like in automation.
We have subsidies for automation.
It's virtually impossible to combat Chinese automation, though, because although they
control flows of capital and have a central planning in that regard they're incredibly efficient
and far more cost effective in their output so these guys are mad that china is playing the
same game that they're playing but they're playing it better the only way to beat china in this
situation would be to become like china but they won't do that obviously that would mean
scary socialism, scary communism, and that's not what these countries are designed to do. These
countries are designed to continue capitalist hegemony around the globe at the behest of the
profit motive for capital owners. So instead, they're just trying to blow the whistle on the
referees. The leader but hurt because they were rushing to control it and destabilize
oil filtration so they control China the way we manipulate Europe but we overplayed our hand in
oil and underplayed the technology card and now China eventually will have no American energy restraints.
Well that's far far into the future.
And even if they were to become like China overnight, let's say let's say magically
I waved my magic wand and the United Socialist States of America is implemented, is initiated.
We now have central planning and we're working on creating a robust industrial base once again.
The amount of time necessary for American productivity to catch up to China is at least
a couple decades with no guarantees that will ever catch up to China at all.
Now of course there's an alternative vision out there which is to stop fighting against China,
stop presenting China as a foreign adversary and instead cooperate with them as we are
currently cooperating with them under a capitalist, under a capitalist organization of the economy.
Okay, and no, we're not only six years behind, we are behind in terms of developing a manufacturing
capability even close to what the Chinese have had like for two decades.
We are far behind.
We're multiple 30, we're 30 years behind, not six.
I wish we were six years behind.
That's manageable.
That's salvageable.
We are 30 years behind China.
And that's the most, that estimate is the nicest estimate that I can give to the United
States of America if we're being real.
We made trade deals.
They are a controlled.
Tucker Carlson is talking about curbing private equity, killing your pets.
Hakeem Jeffries authorized the military packages to send F-15s to Israel.
Dems are cooked.
Yeah.
No, no, that's what we're...
Because Israel is not about Israel.
Israel is not even about the genocide. The genocide is secondary.
The American government doesn't give a fuck
about brown people being slaughtered, okay?
The American government
is making a bet on Israel
dominating the region
and making a bet on the region in general
in terms of its productive
capabilities in the
realm of energy, okay?
So Israel is not about Israel at all.
Israel is about China.
about China. Every single thing that the American government does ultimately goes back to China.
It's about establishing a better position against China. The problem is, we're fighting
a very different fight. Israel is about oil. Of course, everything is about oil, if you
really think about it. It's about continuing the petrodollar dominance. And the way to
do so is by making sure that there is a powerful entity that is a vassal state
in the region that is resource rich with this singular resource that we're talking about
that will completely keep all of the OPEC partners at bay and will destabilize if necessary
and will attack whenever they see fit. Israel is not even about Israel. Israel has a greater
Israel project that happens to align with America's interests of making sure that
Israel is the domineering force in the region. But it's the same with Venezuela.
Venezuela is not about destroying Venezuela. Venezuela is not just about
stealing Venezuelan natural resources, specifically oil. Venezuela is also about
China. Venezuela is about Latin America, the dominoes that will fall in the
rest of the Latin American countries that are now developing better relationships with
China all the way up to Mexico as a matter of fact.
Everything still goes back to China.
And combating the rise of China.
I have some knowledge on this topic from a policy perspective, the U.S. is far behind
on not just generation, we need ultra-high voltage transmission lines, transformers,
battery storage, and upstream feedstock, all the basic components, e.g. mining needed for
electrical infrastructure is state-owned.
The U.S. meanwhile is facing a crisis in supplying transmission infrastructure.
China is cooked demographically, though.
By 2050, they're expected to lose 250 million people and their median ages expect to
be 54.
Immigration, though being suppressed by the current regime, will allow America's
economy to be productive for the foreseeable future. Yeah, I mean, China could also do that
as well. I just don't think that they will. That's very not Chinese of them to do so.
I don't call it Chinese dominance. I just call it dominance. That's just a peek at
how Chinese my mind has become, I feel you.
Not being combative just curious if Israel is so tied to America's wants and needs.
Why do countries like England and Germany fight so hard to defend Israel, for example,
by arresting Palestinian protesters?
Are they also a subset of America in this sense?
Or think America being top dog is worth it?
Yes, they are. They're vassal states. Yes, the answer to all of your questions is yes.
Meanwhile, the other side of this is, uh, you know, maybe I mean,
something that I've been railing against for the past fucking two days,
But like, we do have a crisis in education in this country too.
We have crisis in basically every aspect, okay?
Shits running on autopilot, leaning into the previous gains that we made from a modicum
of socialization and all the government programs that we once had, the infrastructure that
we once developed, okay?
But we're too busy.
What is this tweet?
has been around illegal and low-income immigrants before knows Minnesota daycare scams are just
the tip of the iceberg. This is all happening all over the country at a trillion-dollar
scale. Voters enable it because of white guilt politicians, because of votes. Yeah, this
is kind of what I was saying. We're too busy doing this shit. So we're never going
to actually solve any of these problems. I have no, I have, I have no belief, no
No confidence in the American population in terms of just like getting our shit together.
It is pretty funny that Asmongold, this is like whenever he talks about women or like
hoes.
It's funny anyone's been around illegal and low income immigrants, brother you've
been around no one.
You've been around no humans, let alone illegal and low income immigrants.
Guy famous for never leaving his home being like I'm always around low-income immigrants guys and trust me when I tell you
I'm speaking from a position of authority. It's like bro. You don't leave your house the fuck
They invented a new Chinese political spectrum and you're in it
That's crazy low on the spectrum. Also, you put Michael from Pennsylvania higher than Eric,
who literally has moved to China. Okay. Michael from Pennsylvania has never been to China.
Eric literally has, has, has changed his entire life and now lives in China. That's crazy.
Whoever wrote this is a major dick writer of Michael from Pennsylvania. Notice how
his name is Michael from Pennsylvania and not Michael from Beijing or Michael from Shanghai.
Both myself and Austin Show need to take higher priority on the highest of the Chinese spectrum,
higher than Michael from Pennsylvania and not Michael from Chengdu, for example.
Yeah, person who's never stepped foot in China, being placed at the top here is crazy.
You don't do a daily China glaze?
Yeah, because China daily glazes me.
The Global Times did an interview with me that I didn't even read on the broadcast about
how to make China cool.
That's right.
Also I'm the only person who can see red sun in the sky.
10 infrastructure projects that China finished in 2025 that shocked the world.
In 2025, China opened some of its most ambitious infrastructure projects from megatranspor hops
to cultural landmarks and...
I don't know, I'm just kind of bored on the stuff.
This is, this is, I feel like that is a Michael from Pennsylvania video to watch.
Alright, let's do a little bit of Ukraine from us because...
And then we'll do the Ugopnik Slur video, don't worry.
We'll do the Ugopnik Slur video.
He also sent it to me to react to it.
I've been taking my sweet ass time, not reacting to it.
But we still got some news to cover, specifically, Ukraine accuses Russia of lying about Putin
residence attack.
Like I said, in the midst of this definitely going to happen peace process that seems
like it's it's totally real and and not different than
uh... and and totally different than the
fifteen other times where uh... there was uh... supposedly a peace process
at play
russia accused
zeolensky's
uh... shooters
of trying to slime out a dole putler
snowy mosco this morning the kremlin keeping up its latest flurry of
accusations against Ukraine.
The Kiev was trying to undermine progress towards a peace deal by launching a drone attack
on one of Vladimir Putin's residences.
Ukraine has ridiculed the claims, but Russia nonetheless promising to toughen its stance.
The diplomatic consequences of these actions by the Kiev regime will be a tougher negotiating
position of the Russian Federation.
As for the military consequences, our military knows how and where.
By the way, rainy draws a lot. Thank you for the 25. Get the subs. Once again, the Piker
broadcasting service has fallen off. Ladies and gentlemen, PBS, the Piker broadcasting
service has fallen off. My ops are making videos about how my subscription count is no
longer as high as it once was. So I'm here to tell you that you can support the Piker
broadcasting service. If you would like to a voluntary subscription to the form
of a $6 one or a gifted sub that you can offer to other people will be one of the
best ways of supporting the broadcast. PBS is sponsored by you, the viewers, for you, the

Nin Pyro, thank you for the 20. Space Cap, thank you for the five.
and to respond
that military today leasing images of what it said where it's a rashly no
action happening this season to boost your numbers law
wait what
to boost my numbers
there is an election coming up
it's called the midterms chatter the sonic
new capable missile roach from as many golds rule
thank you for the twenty you are a well-fed roach
tensive they really
uh... anyway let's get back to this
being deployed in belarus
he cranes presidents as rushers planning to strike government buildings in key
using the alleged ukrainian attack as a pretext
russia claims ukraine launched ninety one drones in a mass attack on the
putin residents
they would have had to fly
more than 400 miles through heavily defended airspace,
en route to the target, a sprawling complex
on the northeastern shore of Lake Valdai,
it's self-guarded by 12 military air defense batteries.
There are no local reports of any explosions
on the ground or in the air.
And Russia's Defense Ministry says only 18 drones
were intercepted over the entire Novgorod region last night.
I learned about it from President Putin today.
I was very angry about it.
President Trump meeting the Israeli Prime Minister yesterday
challenged on whether us intelligent is so funny that when when
Lottie poo says they try to slime me
Your boys ill disney he came after me trump immediately like that's true that I bet that's real
I mean it could be it could be also fair is fair, okay
All is fair and love and war baby
You can't be complaining that they they hit one of your residences, you know, you're fucking bombing the country and invading it, you know
Oh, no. I can't believe it.
Is that any evidence? It had happened.
Yeah. What are they supposed to do? Not try to kill you?
Like, it's so stupid.
You're saying maybe the attack didn't take place as possible.
I guess, but President Putin told me this morning it did.
I'm not really thinking of it.
Politically, it wouldn't be a very judicious moment to strike in this way.
No, I mean for all sorts of reasons.
Firstly, there is an informal etiquette show.
say that you don't go after the other side's leaders or else you you face that same threat
yourself. Secondly, it would risk doing away with all of the goodwill generated by Zelensky's
trip to Florida. And oh my god, bro, they're dropping Ukraine like a bad habit. Oh wait,
god damn. God day. I mean, he's not wrong. There is like a like a rule around this
sort of stuff, even though seemingly nobody fucking cares about the rules anymore. I mean, Israel
blew that shit wide open, right? But the rule is at least like with established state heads,
you're not supposed to do that. Israel blew that wide open with Yemen.
So it's kind of strange that they're even bringing this up seemingly as a counter.
to why this would be damaging, if true, instead of, like,
I feel like a couple years ago they would defend this.
They would be like, no, Ukraine has ever
right to do this.
They've been invaded.
And also, Zelensky has had.
He's not dropping them.
He's just arguing they didn't do it.
I mean, I, uh-huh, probably.
The battleground would do, wait, what?
That's not comparable?
No, it's not comparable if you were say Hasbolah or Hamas, but with Ansar Allah it's like the de, you know, de facto government.
What the fuck are you talking about? You as an Israel murder leaders all the time that rule only exists for whatever the people.
I know, I know, I know, guys, stop.
Stop.
I know that.
I understand that, okay?
I'm saying that the etiquette is bullshit,
but even beyond the etiquette always being bullshit,
Israel has been able to also bust the fucking etiquette
so much in the last three years at this point.
two years that it's virtually impossible to conduct an argument around this etiquette.
There's no such thing as like war crimes anymore.
Left-wing conspiracy. I just spent several years battling the government for
freedom of information at request documenting documents proving CIA involvement in a foreign
crisis only for the White House Press Secretary to admit it and nobody cared.
right-wing conspiracy. Has anyone noticed there's a lot of daycares?
Wait, what? Assuming that each of these daycares is only 20 kids, that's nearly 80,000 spots for kids.
Boston only has 107K residents under 18 years old. The simple math will indicate that a large
portion of these have to be empty. Oh my god.
Oh my god. Oh my god. It hurts so much. It hurts so much to think. It's probably what
this guy is saying.
I just, oh, I can't, I can't say that's fine. Let's just move on. Let's just move on from it.
Thirdly, the problem is, Lansky did, in his Christmas address, pretty openly wish for
Putin's death.
And so in that context, again, this would look a little bit too on the nose.
On Monday, Vladimir Putin ordered his generals to seize the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhia.
In its streets today, that too dismissed as part of the Russian information war.
Honestly, I don't take it seriously.
These are the thoughts of an idiot.
I don't believe Putin will accept any peace deal.
He's such a b****.
He doesn't want to give anything up.
He wants to grab everything.
This is why I don't believe anything will come out of the peace talks.
President Putin was in front of the cameras again today, talking to his Deputy Defense Minister about care for injured veterans of his Special Military Operation.
Almost a mirror image indeed.
It's the most special. That's why it's been going on for so long. The more it goes on for, the more special it is.
If where President Zelensky was handing out housing certificates to Ukrainian soldiers and their relatives.
also announcing today the latest round of diplomacy with the meeting of the
leaders of the so-called Coalition of the Willing in Paris a week today you can
tell it's the end of the year some of today's Russian papers are pre-planned
special editions reviewing 2025 and therefore do not cover yesterday's
dramatic news Russia's claim that Kiev targeted one of Vladimir Putin's
official residences with attack drones.
Peace terms now depend on the feet of Russian soldiers,
where they step that's ours.
Acclaim categorically denied by Ukrainian officials.
But the ultra-prokremlin Komsomolskaya Pravda writes about it,
and this piece by the paper's war reporter suggests that Moscow may use this moment,
nearly four years after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine,
to exert even more pressure on Kiev.
The sabre-rackling here is off the scale.
The headline, Russia now has a free hand.
The writer claims we may be witnessing a turning point in the special military operation, Russia's war on Ukraine.
The attack on the Valdai residents completely unties our hands.
The Russian president once said, we haven't even got going yet.
Now it's time.
the whole world is frozen in anticipation of our response. It's up to the president to decide
what that will be. What would I like to see? The main thing is that it should be decisive
and devastating. He goes on to call for the targeting of senior Ukrainian security officials,
for Russia to try out its laziest weapons, and for a change in Russia's negotiating stance.
From now on the terms of a long-term peace will totally depend on the feet of Russian
soldiers. As we know, where they step, that's ours. This is what we mean by a review of our
negotiating position. If before, for peace, it was enough for Ukraine to pull out of
four regions, now another two or three regions could be added to that. Trump may help end
the war on our terms. As someone who has survived two assassination attempts, he has
a lot more arguments to support this now. At time of writing, no evidence has been presented
to back up the claim of a Ukrainian attack on Vladimir Putin's residence. We'll see
what develops today. The headline in the Russian government paper
Rezhizke Gezeta, the alleged attack, will not go unanswered. Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin
has been talking to military chiefs about seizing more territory, what he calls liberation.
not only of the whole Donbas region, but Zaporizhia and Kherson regions. There is no sign Moscow
is about to stop fighting in Ukraine. Izvestia's review of the year contains a whole page of
Russia's latest weaponry. And of course all these reviews of 2025 feature the US-Russia
summit in Alaska, which Moskovsky-Komsomolets claims continues to have such a positive
influence on relations between the two countries.
China is doing war game military drills off Taiwan's coastline.
A show of fighting force.
These are China's largest ever military drills around Taiwan.
In footage shared by China, you can see all the elements of their armed forces on full
display – land, air and sea.
Rehearsing how to encircle a self-governed island, which Beijing views as a breakaway
province, belonging to them.
It's a hostile response to the unveiling of Taiwan's largest ever arms deal with
the United States earlier this month, worth £8.2 billion. China's foreign minister had
these words of justification.
Taiwan is at the heart of China's domestic interests. In response to continual provocation
by Taiwan's independence forces and the US's large-scale arms sales to Taiwan, we will
of course strongly oppose them and take countermeasures. This year marks the 80th anniversary
Taiwan's restoration to the motherland, achieving complete reunification in accordance with the law
and in defense of our national sovereignty and territorial integrity is our historical mission.
Just will always consistently point out that Taiwan is under international law
considered a part of China and as a province a breakaway region of China for the record just
legally, definitionally, regardless of our understanding of the situation, regardless
of America's statements in mainstream news, the American government's position is that
it is a part of China.
Okay.
Don't let a liberal hear you.
I'm just saying that is what it is.
Having said that, there are plenty of people living in Taiwan, some of which are are
are directly enjoying the strategic ambiguity created by America to have one foot inside
of mainland China and one foot in the Western world and want that system to continue, okay?
As a matter of fact, the overwhelming majority in Taiwan, although over the years have actually
soften their approach in general to collaborating and cooperating with China, the overwhelming
majority does not want the current structure to change.
They want status quo.
They want status quo to change.
Under the umbrella of status quo, of course, the majority of people want status quo with
independence from China at a later date, far in the future.
a much smaller number of people want immediate,
the immediate independence
and an even smaller number want immediate unification.
The reason why I know this, how do you know,
do you even have family over there or anything?
I do have relatives that are from Taiwan.
But the reason why I know this is also because
there are polls on this that are consistently conducted
in Taiwan. I suspect that the reason why, the reason why this, you know, extra ordinary
military, the military drills that are taking place is happening as a consequence or as
a response to the Japanese statements. Because when I was there in China, the new Japanese
Prime Minister came out and said, Oh, we'll fucking, you know, we'll, we'll go over there.
We'll take over Taiwan. If you fucking try to, if China ever tries to, you know, if China ever tries to assert dominance over Taiwan,
like we'll be there, right? This understandably was seen as a major threat.
The reason why this was seen as a major threat, understandably by the people's Republic of China is not only because like, according to the Japanese
government, and according to the American government, Taiwan is still a part of China, legally speaking.
But also because Japan had fucking occupied China not that long ago.
So it's even more aggressive and more of a fucked up statement coming from Japan than even the United States of America.
Hey, did you just say your family from Taiwan just curious family in Taiwan is crazy wait
what why is that crazy I do a family from from Taiwan yeah I've talked about this before
I'm white Chinese dog it's kind of funny cuz like also my mother's like maternal last
name is Uyghur, Uyghur. So I'm white Chinese by both accounts. I'm Chinese by both accounts.
Partially from Taiwan and partially from Xinjiang, if you want to really get into it. You feel
me?
Twitch chat, interracial marriage is not allowed yet. They're like, they cannot comprehend
how that could have happened.
TSMC is about to be replaced by a Chinese company a few years, so this makes sense.
Taiwanese capitals want to play ball instead of losing the chip market completely.
CPU lithography secured. First major GPUs on par with a desktop 4060. Yeah.
And they're going to start mass producing that shit.
But at least for the American consumer, that will be another major,
major soft power for the gamers. They will be singing the praises of China. Think about how
cheap. Think about how affordable it will be if the American government even allows.
If the American government even allows these Chinese GPUs to enter the American market. Oh my god, the United States gonna ban it
Let's be real. There's no shot
That they will ever let Nvidia stock prices take a fucking nose dive
Ain't no fucking way I don't even think Nvidia has to lobby the government
to get that across. The government will do it because otherwise it's over. Yeah, so gamers,
remember, China wants you to have cheap, incredibly cheap GPUs. The American government, on the
On the other hand, wants to use the existing GPUs on artificial intelligence.
And therefore, they don't want you to have cheap GPUs.
They don't want you to have any GPUs at all, actually.
Silence peasant.
The American government has decided that those GPUs will be put to work elsewhere.
I want expensive ones.
I want the expensive ones smudge that we must accomplish.
Taiwan has already launched its response with drills of its own.
The island's defence ministry said China's actions confirm its nature as an aggressor.
This will look like a rise in regional tensions, but not to Donald Trump, who downplayed China's
latest manoeuvres, talking up his relationship with Xi Jinping.
I have a great relationship with president Xi Elon Musk just retweeted this vibe shit top
twister asthma goal says he's not interested in voting unless politicians commit to denaturalizing
and deporting the entire families of Somali fraudsters well now boomers will know who
fucking asmen gold is and he hasn't told me anything about it I certainly have
seen it but he hasn't told me anything about it and I don't believe he's gonna
be doing it no nothing worries me nothing but these images are part of an
increasingly complicated context on the Taiwan strait with growing concerns
war games could become reality pulling this part of the world into conflict
Shinki Marike, Sky News.
Wow, what a vibe shift. A disgusting shut-in is right wing.
He's right wing for an amazing reason.
Wow! What a vibe shift this is.
You're watching works as-
Oh, this is a Al Jazeera's coverage on military drill boost patriotic sentiment in China amid
Taiwan tensions. And Chata was asking like the Al Jazeera coverage was like kind of negative on
China. Yeah. I think you guys don't understand, regardless of their regards to the position
on like pile site and stuff like there isn't really any country out there.
There isn't really any country out there that is, is, is interested in
China's shaking up the pre-established American hegemony.
The cook at this small Taiwanese restaurant in Beijing.
He's been watching China's military drills around the self-governed island closely
and supports them.
Those are you Chinese?
Millions of Chinese and people in Taiwan.
I guess African countries, sure.
But even then, it's more of a leverage point, I think.
I'm part of the same family.
If it really comes to unification by force, I'm a retired soldier.
If there's a fight, I would go and join.
Leo says he's awestruck by the scale of the drills, which are bigger than before.
It's a sentiment shared by many online.
Social media users speak proudly about how far the People's Liberation Army has come,
the warning the exercises send to foreign forces who may want to stop Beijing taking
control of Taiwan.
I genuinely, maybe I'm wrong about this assessment, but I just don't ever foresee China trying
to quote-unquote take over Taiwan by force.
Why should they?
Like, one, it is an incredibly difficult endeavor, okay?
Because there's literally fucking mountains on the side.
It's an island.
And I know you say, don't say that the opposite happened.
The opposite happened with Russia.
I know, I know, I know.
And that's why I'm saying, I might be totally wrong about this.
Okay. All I'm stating is, it's already a very difficult endeavor, like strategically,
But then beyond that, they have other means.
They literally can just sit back and point to America and be like, this is your guy?
Think about it that way.
They can just literally kick back and be like, listen, dog, you're Chinese.
I'm Chinese.
motherfuckers are not and look at them. There's two major powers here. One slammed in your
fucking ass cheeks. What are you going to do? Hold on to, you know, a half a century
old grudge about how, you know, the Republican China will never be established. Like, okay.
And it was a much easier argument to talk about no unification or even at a certain point,
it wasn't, it was unification, but ROC style unification, right?
And then that conversation shifted to let's actually gain independence.
And that was a pretty solid argument for like the last decade, right?
last couple of decades, but every day that every day that passes, that argument becomes
dumber and dumber.
You can just straight up look at, you can just straight up point to like, hey dog, look,
look around you, look at America.
Look at America, look at us.
You already work in the Chinese mainland.
Many of you come and work in the Chinese mainland.
Many of you still have familial ties to the Chinese mainland.
We speak the same fucking language.
We share the same culture.
And on top of that, it is far better for you to, you know, come back to the fucking
motherland. Beijing extracted Taiwanese citizens out of Lebanon when Israel started bombing last
summer. Beijing cares about the Taiwanese people being Beijing positive. Also a family in Taiwan
to imagine war and death is such a Western thing to do. Yeah, it's just
and you're already seeing, you're already seeing the attitude shift happening.
There is the guy who's like the Joe Rogan of Taiwan who was in the Taiwanese military,
literally fucking was like a major influencer that was talking about independence now literally
works in mainland China and is doing maybe even propaganda for the people's republic.
The mainland implements more and more favorable positive to the average Taiwanese person.
There's zero chance it'll actually turn hostile. It's too sweet of a fucking deal
for for the Taiwanese they'd like like they look at Ukraine right like if you
have if you look at Hong Kong and then you look at Ukraine and if those are
the two options which do you prefer you know what I mean these guys are
adults here the government portrays Taiwan as a province of China only
temporarily separated after the country's civil war in 1949, and most people believe reunification
is inevitable.
Popular television soap operas tell the story of nationalist Kuomintang troops fleeing to
Taiwan after being defeated by communist forces at the end of the war.
Movies go further back, recreating scenes of Chinese Ning dynasty soldiers forcing Dutch
colonizes to surrender control of the island after occupying it in the 1600s.
Today, Beijing encourages Taiwanese students and tourists to visit China,
emphasizing linguistic and cultural links.
The government's message, there is and always has been, only one China.
Taiwan is an inseparable part of China's territory.
It's a message being sent to the democratically-elected
Taiwanese President Lai Qingte and to the United States, which has recently sold $11 billion
worth of weapons to Taipei.
Liu Guoqing hopes there will never be a war with people across the strait he considers
to be Chinese.
If there's a fight, it won't be against the Taiwanese people.
It will be against America and external forces.
We are not interested in a fight between Chinese people.
peaceful reunification would be the best.
But if there is one, he's sure who the real enemy will be.
Continuing Al Jazeera, Beijing.
Yeah, so what's funny is that the US supported Taiwan
as sitting in the Security Council as China until 1972.
Yes.
Oh my god, here it is.
Michael, not from Beijing.
Taiwan was a fashion dictatorship
that had a longer stretch of martial law in history.
Yes, yes, yes.
all of that stuff is is somewhat irrelevant in this in this conversation. I mean, it's
it's utterly irrelevant because obviously, shout out to the Maoist, the real Maoist Henry Kissinger
and the real Maoist Richard Nixon for changing that dynamic, right? So we know that that's no
longer the case. Don't miss out. Get the point is what will happen in the future? Does China
think that Trump is an opportunity, not just in this trade war, but also for Taiwan? Because
I guess if you're talking about a big beautiful deal, the big fear of some people, certainly
in Taiwan, but some China walks in Washington, is that the biggest deal of all would be for
China to expect Donald Trump to trade something on Taiwan, you know, to sell Taiwan for soybeans,
as the kind of the caricature.
Does China have that at the back of its mind?
At least I don't think so.
And I don't think a lot of my colleagues in Beijing view this in that regard.
To be honest, Taiwan is not a mug on the table.
You cannot sell it.
You cannot buy it.
If we can buy it, we bought it already.
You cannot buy Taiwan.
There are 23 million people living on the island.
And look at Hong Kong, we reunified with Hong Kong for 28 years already.
Well, you already had sovereignty over it.
Hong Kong was on a lease, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Taiwan has never belonged to the People's Republic of China.
So you'd have to take it.
No, our Taiwan is part of China.
It's part of the, part of China.
You can say PRC or China, but it's part of China.
So for us, it's the same thing.
What I want to say is the experience in Hong Kong
tells us that.
It's just so funny because they're like,
oh, well, it's technically never been a part of China.
Okay.
Then every, every world government, every fucking nation
state directly recognizes it as a part of China. It's just like stupid, I guess, but you know,
like you got to take it up with everybody else. I guess now, obviously it just doesn't matter
because America's position is what matters in the situation or at least mattered in this
situation. And America's strategic ambiguity dictates that the official government recognizes
Taiwan as a part of China, but America is going to continue supplying defense in an effort
to basically utilize Taiwan as a constant destabilizing factor inside of the backyard
of the Chinese mainland. However, the more powerful China becomes, the less useful this
becomes for America, or rather the less power America has over Taiwanese independence.
And before people say, Oh dude, Taiwanese people have their own minds. I agree.
I'm stating that inevitably, if things continue the way that they have,
the Taiwanese people are going to be in favor of unification.
The current attitude, the current attitude is maintaining the status quo,
which is don't interfere in the, uh, in the events. Don't fuck up the bag.
We're doing good. You know, we got the chips.
We're working with America. We're working with China.
But my suspicion is that inevitably they will look to America less and less as a good partner as America's power on the global stage wanes.
You know?
The reunification of the, you know, at the superficial level, it's not enough.
And the reunification need the unification of society, of the identity, you know, until
majority people believe they are Chinese, you won't say I unify the country completely.
So we cannot buy.
So what does that mean?
So we had a Chinese ambassador recently in France,
who when he was talking about this need to reunify
that the souls and the minds,
the hearts and minds of the Taiwanese,
said, of course we will need
a massive reeducation campaign.
You have scholars who I've interviewed in Beijing
who write about the lessons of Hong Kong,
like Tian Feilong, the legal scholar.
He will say what we need to do is learn a lesson
that a country, a territory like Hong Kong
that was too westernized and too infected
by liberal Western ideas, needs a massive campaign
of patriotic reeducation.
And that was exactly what we will need to do in Taiwan.
In Hong Kong, we've seen sham elections
with candidates vetted by the Communist Party.
You had to swear loyalty oath to the Communist Party.
We've seen the crushing of the free press,
the sentencing of Jimmy Lai, the media boss.
If that is a model that China is learning from,
what's the message to people on Taiwan
who might be watching this?
What is coming for them?
I definitely agree that we need to win the hearts
and minds of people in no matter in Hong Kong or in Taiwan.
But I think the approach could be very different.
The, you know, these two cases,
though we believe that both cases are, you know,
both places belong to China,
But as you said, the process is different.
In Hong Kong case, we signed a treaty with the U.K.
then we take it back.
But so we reunified in the form first.
And then you face the task how to win the hearts and minds.
So we gradually realized that this is very difficult actually.
But would you need to have patriots governing Taiwan? That's the phrase we hear in Hong Kong. We know what that is code for.
Patriots governing Hong Kong means if you want to hold any public office at all, you have to swear a formal legal oath of total loyalty to the government of Hong Kong and to the Communist Party leadership in Beijing.
There are millions of Taiwanese who right now do not want to swear an oath of loyalty to the Communist Party.
Why do you think that if people want to reunite, when the DPP has won the election, the DPP
is falling out of favor.
One.
And two.
They don't want to reunite right now.
I didn't say that they want to reunite.
Reunification is the immediate reunification is the least popular position.
I'm saying that if they look like things change is what I mean.
Okay
That's it I was in Beijing they vote for parties in free democratic elections that are absolutely opposed to rule from Beijing
So what happens to them?
Under mainland Chinese rule we are in China. We are study many people are study the
The Taiwan version of the one country two systems
So that means Taiwan has their own version of one country two systems
It's different. It will be different from Hong Kong's but I don't think we already have one, you know
official version of the Taiwan version of Taiwan, you know one China two system version for Taiwan
We don't have that so I think I hope that in the future we can discuss with people in Taiwan about
How to achieve that goal so I don't think we should literally just a copy of what we are doing in Hong Kong to
I know the majority don't lean in independence in the long term.
The majority is status quo.
And under status quo, the majority leans status quo now, but at an un, you know, at a, like far in the future, independence.
That is the plurality position.
I'm saying that. Attitudes change. Yeah, status quo forever is the number one is the top slot status quo now decide later.
later is the second slot and then independence in the future status quo now independence
in the future is the third most popular. What is the status quo status quo is what is going
on currently that Taiwan has you know decent relations with China with China but no significant
attempts at independence. Taiwanese are indigenous? No, the fuck they're not. The
Han Chinese actually killed the indigenous Taiwanese, like massacred them.
Kind of a big deal actually.
To Taiwan because Taiwan is still not reunified, but it's a it's a place. You know, I've covered elections in Taiwan
It's a real democracy. It's a noisy raucous democracy, but it's a real democracy
I'll parties that violently disagree you can choose which one is okay. Yeah power changes from one party to another
It's very hard to imagine how China could ever let that happen again if it took over
Yeah, you know
30 years ago 40 years ago no one I think majority people will say, you know, even in Taiwan
I think majority people believe that the two sides were reunified. I mean 40 years, but you have to put democracy that cook
Yeah, I know back in the boat. Oh, I'm not it's pretty funny that they're talking about democracy when referencing Taiwan for like, you know
For a good deal of time. There was no such thing. Obviously. This was not a concern at all from the Western perspective
you know
And even if tomorrow the the Taiwanese population was like actually we really like China
We want to democratically unify. I don't think America would give a fuck and they would absolutely do everything in their power to fuck that deal up too
If you think America would just let go of Taiwan on its own peacefully
If the Taiwanese population turned around tomorrow and we're like actually we want to be a part of China my bad
And America was like oh shit well we love democracy so much
You're out of your dang mind
None of this shit has anything to do with democracy and it's really funny because I think these arguments are also kind of fallen by the wayside anyway as
as people, even in Western liberal democracy, start recognizing that maybe there is no such thing as like real democracy even happening here.
See, I'm not saying this is incompatible with democracy or with election. What I want to say is now from current perspective, you may believe that it's quite impossible.
But who knows? What will happen after 40 years? We don't know. I mean, the call here is do
you believe, do you agree you are Chinese? You are a Chinese citizen. And I don't know
the form of notification with Taiwan in the future. But if it's a unified country, you
need to be loyal to the government, to the system, right?
And if that's a 30, 40-year project, potentially, that China's patient wants to wait, will
Will there be some voices who, as Donald Trump finishes this presidential term, will some
invading say, well, that was a wasted opportunity.
We had an American president who does not seem to care much about allies, who tells us
he doesn't care about other countries being democratic.
And so all of the usual problems we have that America cares about, Taiwan is a democratic
ally.
Under Trump, they're not really a serious consideration.
So leaving aside the 30, 40 year patients,
will there be some people in Beijing going,
Trump is a window of opportunity?
And if he leaves office and we have not achieved
some sort of closer stranglehold on Taiwan.
This guy wants to invade Taiwan more than the CBC,
I mean, yeah.
One with Donald Trump in the White House,
we will feel we have completely wasted an opportunity.
I think there will always be different views
in Beijing, in China about this,
how do you view this window of opportunity?
How do you view the Taiwan issue?
But I haven't seen any mainstream view in China.
In Beijing, say, this is a window of opportunity.
We must take some military actions.
We use it to reunify the two sides.
I don't think that's a mainstream view.
Using military means will always be
a very difficult choice for anyone.
So I haven't seen it.
But I do think there is an opportunity for China
and the US to work on Taiwan issue.
I don't know what can we do specifically.
But I don't think that's a deal that the US gave Taiwan
to China or vice versa.
I think we might try to, for instance,
one of the possibility for me is,
Can the US clarify their one China policy further?
Can we, can we,
and US opposition is quite ambiguous on that.
And you hear this, that maybe, you know,
so maybe it's not the moment to have a full on war.
You're trying to clearly like to avoid a war for Taiwan,
but if you can get Donald Trump to say some sort of change
of language that basically induces kind of gloom
and despair and a lack of confidence among kind of
Taiwanese Democrats who don't want to be ruled
by China, that would be a win.
I think, yeah, definitely.
If so, that's in China's interest.
We encourage the US to clarify their position.
And we think the US role on Taiwan issue
has not been very constructively in past four decades.
So we hope they can clarify.
I mean, look, if I'm sitting in the central committee
as a white Chinese, my argument is,
shit's not looking too good for America. Let's just wait it
out. Let's do more show home shoe. Let's do more fucking good
trade deals with Taiwanese Chinese people coming into
mainland China. Let's keep developing more soft power more
soft power.
And then, let's revisit the conversation five years from now, because it's just do nothing
when.
Okay.
Why Chinese is not the best way to identify yourself with these countries?
Okay, I forgot, you're right.
But, you know what I mean.
Obviously, like the hard line, I guess, like legal stance here is
It's ridiculous to lose a civil war and then spend the rest of your days.
It's ridiculous to lose a civil war.
Claim that you still, you know, have ownership over the entirety of PRC,
including areas that like are not under Chinese control like Mongolia.
And then spend the rest of your existence demanding to take back all of it realize you can't take back any of it
Then decide okay now fuck it. We're just gonna be you know, we're gonna be our own thing. We're gonna do our own thing
You know
But I am sympathetic to the to the the perspectives
Yes, keep building up the Chinese Empire and make your success stories. I don't know what you're saying. I'm my point is I'm sympathetic to
the perspective of
Taiwanese people if they're like truly worried and I think there is reason to worry
Because once you get hit with that liberalism wave, okay
It's very difficult, it's very, very difficult to turn around and be like, you know what?
I'm fine with more restrictions, more repression than I'm used to.
It's hard.
It's virtually impossible to go back to that because the reality of the matter is, as
As far as I, as much as I criticize the liberals, social libertarianism is not the worst thing.
Obviously there's limits to it.
You know, like age of consent is a good thing, you know, making sure that CSAM is not allowed
to be mass produced is a good thing, right?
I'm not like a full blow social libertarian, but it is a, it is a wonderful thing.
Okay.
at least the feeling, at least the feeling of having that freedom, even if that feeling
is bullshit and not actually impactful at all, it's good to have that.
You're just not going to be able to sell people on you're not going to be able to sell people
unless things get really bad.
I think you're not going to have an easy time selling people on more social repression.
That's it.
It's just that's it.
will take us on? No, it's a realistic take. It's the truth. Like, if, if there is a, if,
you know, gun to your head, right, gun to your head, you lose some of the little liberties
you think you have in terms of like, being able to call Donald Trump a fat pedophile,
But then you get the three gorges dam and you get like high speed rail everywhere and
you know and the confidence that you think that the government has your back and in terms
of improving your material circumstances.
Yeah, gone to my head.
If those are the only two options, yeah, it's not so bad.
The problem is, those are not the only two options, right?
You can have all of those things and also have a little bit of fucking social freedom
too.
And I think that's what it is.
I think that's what it comes down to.
Do you see what I mean?
I think though, the
you
you
you
you
you
Okay.
has been reformed already but there's more reforms that are necessary clearly. But the Hukou system
is a system where like it was travel was basically restricted. You were region locked inside of
China, okay? Which seems like a crazy concept to think about but like China is massive, right?
It's like, you know, pre-EU Europe or something even though obviously, you know,
You didn't really have nation states though. It would be like if the EU didn't exist,
but the European nation states existed without the EU, right? So it's basically like a,
it's basically like an internal passport. Okay, travel is not restricted. It's your access to
social services. I know it was before you were region locked in whatever state you grew up in,
But that's not how it works now. Okay, yeah, pre-Shingen Europe basically.
Now, it's no longer, that's no longer the case, obviously.
You can move, you can travel, you have no restriction whatsoever.
But there are still elements of the Hukou system in China.
And the elements are that you're region locked to social services.
Okay, your region locked specifically to social services and therefore there is still demands
for reform, especially because the reason why there's still demands for reform is because
like people want to move to the big cities.
There's also an interest in moving people to the big cities as well.
be real because like they're fucking building out these big cities but they
want to they want to move the big cities because there's better job
opportunities in general big cities but unfortunately when too many people move
into the big cities because everything is a planned and structured out ahead
of time because the there's more demand you know because there's higher
salaries in big cities for example as opposed to the rural farmlands then
Then you have limited opportunities available because everything is, again, centrally structured.
Everything is pretty much preplanned ahead of time.
So then you run into an unemployment crisis in these big cities.
Some people try to evade the system and they just move and that's where you see
like the homeless people, right?
And I put air quotes here because like, if you leave your rural village and you
go to a big city, you can't get a job outside of the, if you haven't like applied for a permit
to get a job internally, then you end up in the black market. There's also a black market
of housing as well in China. A lot of people don't know this. There is like a like underground
housing basically. So there are obviously still issues in China. There's still issues
with like job opportunities and things like that. It's not like the, the DD driver is basically
fucking caked up. You know what I mean? It's not, it's not that sweet. Having said that,
of course, when you look at the United States of America, you run into similar problems
with no social safety nets whatsoever. So it's even fucking worse in many respects.
So yes, on the one hand, it's not perfect, while it's not perfect.
On the other hand, it's far better than it was in the past, like far, far better than
it was in even the recent past and only getting better.
So that's the reason why the cope from the westerners that look at China now has changed.
Ten years ago, it was their fucking living in bullshit cities.
Those cities aren't real, blah, blah, blah, all this stuff.
Now it's okay.
Their big cities are actually better than our big cities, but think about all the
poorer areas.
Think about all the poorer areas.
Okay.
Don't bring up Gary, Indiana.
of bad example, except it's not a bad example, right? Like it's just, you know, and the, and
the counters will shift.
The more China develops the, the more China develops the rural areas as well, as opposed
to just leaving them behind and, and acting like they're not even fucking there, the
more America's cope will change as well.
I spent two hours last night researching their plan in 2026 for jobs growth and tackling rural
elderly low income, and I highly recommend reading it.
One focus of a problem with the university graduates getting stable jobs, so they already
made a plan for it.
Meanwhile, we have had this problem for a decade and zero effort from our government
to do anything about it.
Yeah.
I guess the only, the craziest part about Chinese governance, by the way, is that
they don't really hide what they're going to do.
Maybe that will change in the future, but like they literally pull a Babe Ruth
every time.
point. They're like, this is what we're going to do in the next five years. And they're pretty
open about it. They get together, they cover it. They see, they recognize the issue. They
have a plan. Oftentimes they actually hit those targets way before the conservative
estimate of when they'll hit those targets too. But the reality is, or at least the
fascinating part about it is they always say what they're going to do. And it's
kind of funny because like we for some weird reason despite the fact that they
have hit every single major target in their five-year plans and in their 15
year comprehensive plans over and over again for like the last 50 fucking
years we still act as though this is a shock anytime a new five-year plan is
unveiled. The foreign policy heads will turn around and go pfft,
huh, fucking idiots, dude, they'll never achieve this shit.
And then they do. It's like, if you want to destroy China, which
is already a strange thing that you would want to do. It's
like, why? That's just a country, right? Like, the fuck's
wrong with you. But let's say you really, you're like, I'm a
CIA agent. I want to destroy China so bad. They're
giving you a gift every fucking five years they just say here is what we're gonna do so I don't
even understand why the American government sits around and goes ha fuck it dude they can't do shit
let's just shut them off from different let's just restrict more trade and we'll be fine the
complaints you hear in the west about unemployment in China is mostly about urban higher educated
use who do face a lot of competition there are more and more conversations in China about
just lowering your standards a little, take a lower paid job and live more comfortably. Yeah.
But that's not good either, because then it's like moving into the gigification,
like gig economy or shit jobs in general that you're overqualified for. And then that's not
good for, I think that's not good for development either, but it's a similar problem that exists
in America too, obviously, except in America, you don't get comfortable when you get a
a shittier job than the one you actually trained for. Oh yeah, DD drivers recently got health
insurance. So there's that. I know I saw the fucking I saw the uproar. That's the other
thing. People will be like, Oh dude, China is not a fucking worker state at all. Whatever
all the shit, bro, they literally will fucking riot. The DD drivers, the DD drivers were
doing mass demonstrations they stop work they shut off traffic same with the
sanitation workers as well there's another that's another big like ordeal in
China right now yes DD is their fucking Uber okay and their postmates DD DIDI
god damn it chatters you're like fucking little babies
It's not really about gig work either, just not like a cushy office job.
The OG eating cats and dogs memes didn't stop until like 2017.
I love Wukong and usher speed for fucking up Washington's racist as low effort, xenophobic
strategy.
But now they keep spamming Xinjiang but no one cares since they prime to marry the
hate Muslims and the Chinese massable fucking gambit.
No, even the fucking Shin Jon stuff has died down once the Associated Press was like hey
We went to the concentration camps. They no longer exist there. It was over. What more can you say?
Like after that point you're just constantly in a state of trying to address the previous crimes that took place, you know what I mean
I'm not sure what's going on with this guy, but I'm not sure what's going on with him.
Yeah, also, here's another fucking America moment.
So there was a prison.
Off the side of a fucking major highway, near Xinjiang.
This dude went there and filmed it, okay?
And then he, quote unquote, escaped to America, okay?
America is deporting him right now.
America is deporting him.
We don't even give a fuck about our assets or people that will actually benefit our
position.
We don't care about anything.
This is what I mean.
It's like, what the fuck's the CIA doing, bro?
Are you kidding me?
Really? You're not even gonna save that guy?
After that point why the fuck would anybody turn around and be like yeah China is bad they're devastating
But on the edge of the Himalayas, China is planning something even more ambitious.
On a river you may never have heard of.
This is the project of a century.
The most impressive power generation system ever envisioned.
It's the hydropower equivalent of a mission to Mars.
But to build it, China must tunnel through mountains that are still rising in one
of the most earthquake prone places on the planet.
And that's not all.
What happens here could affect hundreds of people.
Wait, well I have an Uighur friend who I know personally is literally his parents and multiple
friends who tried to prison.
Some of them wanted to study in Azar in Egypt and had to get papers.
The consulate told them to travel to China and they got imprisoned.
This is what I mean, bro.
It's like, what do you do?
What do you do in that situation?
No, actually, like why would you ever, why would you ever fucking, you have to
figure out a different way to play ball. America will fuck you.
America will fuck you. It doesn't matter. Every time.
millions of lives downstream in neighbouring India and Bangladesh risking new tensions
over water. The engineering is unprecedented. So are the stakes.
Look, like controversial. Oh, in Tibet.
There is like this stark beauty.
It was called the roof of the world
because it's the highest part of the world.
From the glacial melt here,
the Yalong Sanpo River flows over 1,000 kilometers east
along the edge of the Tibetan plateau
before performing what many consider a geological miracle
at a location known as the Great Bend,
right where the plateau meets the Himalayas.
It does this mad turn so it stops flowing east and does a big hook and starts coming
back.
Oh my God, are they going to throttle water to India?
That is so.
The Indian government hasn't complained.
By the way, you only hear about complaints from Western media?
That's interesting.
Back and flowing west.
It's about a 180 degree bend where the river drops about 2,000 meters in elevation
in just a 200 kilometer period.
the river leaves china goes into india and there it's known as the brahmaputra and then it empties
out in the bay of bengal this is the type of content you was sure about right because 100%
this shit is so hard to find now i get fed slop i mean this is a great content
bro these motherfuckers love making massive infrastructure projects like
god damn it dude it is autism paradise i swear to god it's back at the great bend
where construction of the yasha or lower yalom hydropower project officially began in july 2025
it's a place so remote a road only reached it in 2013
the gorge of the great bend is the biggest canyon in the world it's literally three times
deeper and a little bit longer than the Grand Canyon in Arizona it's this
natural draw the world's steepest and deepest here's one thing China also does
not give a fuck about 100% they will offer compensation plus more money
compensation plus relocation fees and a higher compensation for the for the
displaced homes but they will displace those fucking homes especially if it's
massive infrastructure project like this one. They do have the concept of like nail homes and
shit like that, where some people just sit down and say, no, I don't give a fuck. I'm standing here.
But I don't think that if it's a if they're going to build a dam, they're going to build a fucking dam.
They will not, they will not fucking back down from that. They're like, oh, sorry, this project
is gonna, I don't know, power a million homes. There's no shot that they don't do eminent
domain in the situation, which, you know, I know that people will get mad. They'll say
all of these are Tibetan people. This is their culture, all this stuff. And I agree. I sympathize
with that. I understand that. But I'm thinking about it from the perspective of the United
States of America. If the United States had the fucking build high speed rail, and there
was a bunch of people that were like, Oh, I'm sorry. This is my home. Like you can't
make this high speed rail go through this backyard. I'd be like, no, we are making
this high-speed rail go through a backyard. Don't ask me how I feel about treating NIMBYs
in general. I think we should imprison people. We should actually do, we in the United States
of America, once we actually put it to a vote, and people actually pass a ballot initiative
to build, I don't know, social housing or something, we should still have those conferences,
But it's actually a honeypot.
So what I mean is we should still have those like local council conferences to bring people
in, right?
And then listen to their demands.
It's like have them have them talk about how reasonable their point of view is how,
you know, this is really going to ruin the culture of this neighborhood.
It's going to ruin the environment.
I really love birdwatching.
going to be too loud. The noise ordinances will be unbearable. And I'll be like, Oh,
that's perfect. That's perfect. Write down their names. And when they're trying to walk
out of the conference, you arrest every single one of them. Okay. That's what I would do
because democracy has already been established in that situation. We've already decided
we already voted on it. We're building fucking public housing. If you have an issue
with that, that's not dictatorial. That's not dictatorial. You want to know why
Why that's not dictatorial?
Because we already voted on it.
Sucks to suck, bitch.
That's how it fucking works.
I would do the conference and I would listen for the countless hours, perhaps the last
hours where they draw a free man's breath.
Okay?
That is how much I fucking hate people that stunt all matter of different infrastructure
projects because many of you don't understand that this is a major fucking hurdle.
If you love talking shit about how the high speed rail project has never actually been
achieved in California, we've spent so much money on it.
If you want to know why, that's one part of it.
That's one part of the fucking problem, okay?
That's one part of the problem.
Do you want fucking high speed rail or do you want a bunch of charpers?
Okay?
Because if you want high speed rail, you gotta fucking jail the charpers.
As long as democracy has been established and through the democratic project people have
actually decided to you know develop high-speed rail you go you go to the conference and you're
like oh I can't like you know I really really with love and respect is a bash of crazy take
I'm fucking joking do I have to describe it I'm joking obviously I don't think we should
be jailing fucking the town criers. Jesus Christ! I can't make a fucking joke without
anybody immediately taking a seriously fuck! I'm exaggerating, Chatters. My point is they're
They're fucking annoying and it's a big setback in general, okay?
God damn it.
But for real though, if you want to know what a major setback is, it's private public partnership,
okay?
have a public partnership is always an issue. And the other issue is people like this, people
that turn around and fucking, uh, offer serious setbacks. I fuck with that joke. We should do
it for real though. Yeah, I'm joking. Winking and nod. No, I don't think we should jail
people for, for, you know, expressing their distaste, but we should just not listen
to them. Okay. How about that? Once something is voted on, they can chair ball they want,
But we just do it, okay?
Yeah, here's what you can do.
It's called ignoring people, okay?
Because guess what?
You already voted on it, okay?
Also, you're the government.
You ignore people's reasonable demands every day.
So what the fuck are we talking about?
This ain't a democracy.
It's an oligarchy, bitch.
you mean? When is the last time we've had a democratic process? You think Americans are
always going around saying, I sure would hate for my health care to be paid under a single
payer program where I pay less in taxes. And at the point of service, I get treated
for free I hate that no no no one is saying that so gives the plateau its
greatest hydropower potential
yeah imagine if we railroaded high-speed rail the same way we do data centers
Yeah.
Nobody gives a shit when we're building a fucking data center.
And now your electricity bill is subsidizing the data center.
What the fuck?
It's following the project to say China's ambition is not just to tap this power, but to utterly dominate it.
The energy generation from this project will break like records in like many different dimensions.
by far the world's largest individual source of energy 60 gigawatts of installed capacity.
The Chinese government has said that this will generate about 300 billion kilowatt hours a year.
That's more than the UK uses an entire year.
It's also about three times more than the three-chord generates.
With little known officially about the project, including the construction timeline,
Analysts outside China have had to rely on social media, state television, and satellite images to piece together its design.
Not so long ago, an article was published in...
Yeah, why are you looking at it, bro? Stop.
They're shy. They don't want you to see it.
Why are you fucking looking at it from the satellite, you fucking perv?
Nature, one of the premier peer-reviewed academic journals that roughly describes the project as a diversion project.
Unlike a traditional walled dam, observers believe this one would be made up of a series
of hydropower stations along the river.
Theories vary, but some outside experts suggest there would be one upstream dam with a large
reservoir to regulate the water flow.
This would be followed by a second smaller dam at the top of the gorge where water would
be diverted from the gorge.
You'll see it when it's done, why are you looking?
Why are you looking before it's unveiled?
bend through the mountains via a number of underground tunnels and turbines before potentially
entering another smaller re-regulation dam at the bottom of the gorge. I'm sorry can you imagine
doing shit like this though?
50 000 kilometers of high-speed rail just saying 50 000 kilometers of high-speed rail.
This could stabilize the flow before the river continues.
Also, it's not like we're peeping because we want to be like,
oh, that's cool. We should use this tech.
No, we're peeping because we're like, oh, we got to,
we got to figure out that we can like strategically undermine this.
News downstream into India.
This will be quite an engineering feat after all.
You're literally reconstructing a whole river underground.
the volume of water that will be diverted here will be similar to the discharge of a medium-sized river
such as like the Rhine in Europe. It's a concept already tested at the Jinping dams,
where engineers diverted the river through the mountains.
But what is really novel about this project is just like its sheer scale where like many
engineers will probably not believe that building such a project in such a remote location would
be even fucking sick. The government announced the project would cost $1.2 trillion you on.
That's about $167 billion US dollars. And that compares to the three gorges when it was dog.
That's not even a fraction of the global war on terror, brother. That's like
global war on terror was like seven
trillion dollars eight trillion dollars
hundred and sixty seven billion dollars is like
like not even a fraction of the fucking ice budget that we just allocated
so we can have the fattest dumb fucks mass deporting people
Yo, this shit sucks, dude.
Build completed back in the 2000s.
It ended up at a cost of about $37 billion.
So this is four to five times as much as that.
But experts say for China,
this project is not just about generating power.
It's a core tenet of its national economic strategy.
China is an engineering state.
And one of the things that, you know,
having an engineering society in China has done is that...
Bro, okay, we get it, bro.
You're trying to say they're autistic. I understand. Okay, and I agree
You don't have to fucking you don't have to act like oh China is a what we like to call an engineering state, you know, you know those engineers
Okay, there's a real reason why they say that as well because it's like the concept is America is a state of lawyers
Okay, America is a state of lawyer by the way, I just said
Autistic and this guy said bro, don't use autistic as a slur you think saying China is autistic
While nutting over massive infrastructure projects is a pejorative
Are you okay?
Are you insane
There is literally nothing going on here that would indicate that I'm using this as a negative. I'm using is a positive
Anyway, the point I was making is the reason why they say it is because all of the highest
ranked party members inside of the committee are, they all come from engineering backgrounds,
whereas in America all the fucking politicians are lawyers.
that likes to build its way out of problems.
The time, to some extent, is an extension.
The whole standing committee are all big brains.
The, well, Donald Trump is the president in America,
so that's all you need.
What more can I say about that, you know?
But yeah, I think Xi Jinping is a,
what, chemical engineer I think?
Like, they're all engineers.
almost, I think every single person in the standing committee
is, it comes from my engineering background.
Every single one.
You're mad crazy?
Yeah.
Top 10 most litigious guy of all time as president.
Yeah, Politburo, standing committee of the Chinese, 20th Politburo, standing committee
of the Chinese Communist Party, does it say academic feeds, doctoral degree in Marxist
legal studies, undergraduate degree in chemical engineering, undergraduate degree in agricultural
mechanization, graduate program in engineering management, graduate program in world economics,
Master's Degree in Business Administration, Undergraduate Degree in Philosophy,
Booo, Graduate Program in Currency and Banking,
Lame. Master's Degree in Marks' Legal Studies. Okay, this guy's dick writing. He saw she and
So you were wrong. Wait, what? So I was wrong. There's only one person so far that has a philosophy
degree. What are you talking about? This person has undergraduate degree in French, international
politics and legal studies. So it's two people. Undergraduate degree in political
like education, postgraduate degree in economic law,
doctoral degree in political economy, okay, it's three.
Bachelor's degrees in engineering.
This guy's a two, this guy's a literature.
Li Xi is a literature, is a literature graduate.
There's some lawyers in China too.
It's crazy to see someone with a degree in L.I.T.
They honor I have a good spread of degrees. Yeah, I thought it was more engineers.
I was wrong.
wrong. Our education secretary is the wife of the person who owns WWE. Isn't that cool?
She also got thrown through a table at one point on television.
So at least we have that.
Oh my God, we are literally idiocracy, bro.
We are unironically idiocracy.
That is the most idioc- like, wow, wow.
Yeah, our president wasn't home alone.
And is a con man. Isn't that cool? The FBI director was a podcaster. The deputy director
of the FBI was also a podcaster. The attorney general for Washington DC is a Fox News host.
The secretary of war formerly known as the secretary of defense is a drunk rapist who
who also was the weekend team at Fox News.
The person in charge of HHS is also a alleged rapist
and possibly bringing about the plague everywhere he goes.
To be fair, RFK Jr. Loki is one of the only credentialed
people in the administration.
It's just that back when back when he actually was doing great work, he was doing climate
advocacy and legal work like pro bono legal work for indigenous populations, and he is
a lawyer who actually used his law degree for good, except then he got a brain worm.
She was thrown through the table with the current mayor of Knoxville, Tennessee, two
formerly known as WWE Kane. Wait, what?
Are you fucking with me? Are you being serious?
Aren't you kind of a podcast in some ways?
Yes. Keep me away from the fucking halls of power.
What the fuck do you mean?
Yeah, I'm gonna be honest with you if tomorrow there was like a Bernie Sanders presidency or something
And he was like what song we need you to be the labor secretary like at the fuck are you saying?
What are you saying old man? Are you stupid?
Like it would be it would be the most over what are you talking you'd be stupid how to take it
No, you are stupid stop talking if you genuinely believe that
Oh my god, he literally is the mayor of Knox County.
I'll take an ambassadorship to China.
Here's the clip of Kane, the mayor of Knox, the mayor of Knox,
grabbing the education secretary by the throat.
That's the education secretary.
And then we sit around and wonder why we're not beating China.
Why China is fucking stealing our lunch money.
I wonder why, dude.
Of China's bias towards production towards investment, but it comes at a very interesting
time.
China is striving to make this transition from investment to consumption based growth.
So the dam at this point would provide a critical demand boost at a time when consumption and
investment has been weak.
It's a project that promises an economic jolt for sectors like construction, cement, and
steel.
When the project was announced, it rippled through the economy, companies like Power
Construction Corp, China, China Engineering Corp, Washington Cement, various chair prices
all surged.
At another level, the dam will also enable China to produce more renewable energy and
help that green transition.
With a target.
Someone else can correct me on this, but isn't there stock market fake as well?
Like it's not like, not like, it's not, not real.
exist, but ours isn't. No, fake isn't like, I mean ours is technically also fake, but
no, like, dude, I remember seeing something about like,
there was a, no, there was like a stock that was blowing up in the Chinese stock market.
And it was blowing up because it was like the name of like a furniture company or something
but it was blowing up because
It was blowing up because people were just like like buying stocks off they buy stocks off of like name
Like they don't care like there's no it's not real it's not like a real
Upwards no, I'm not talking about Evergrande. I'm not talking about Evergrande. I'm talking about like a totally separate thing
You sure it's not anti China slop? No. No, it's fake, but in a different kind of way,
where it's not like, um, it's because the flows of capital are controlled by the government.
And they openly state their desires for moving industrial output in different directions.
It's not like, it's not this like gambling that you're, it's not the same as like gambling
on the American stock market.
They use phantom shares, it's pure gambling in that sense.
The market value is more than the book value.
It's also, it's not, I don't think you're like purchasing ownership over the companies
is what I'm saying. Because ultimately there are a lot of companies that are just majority
owned by the government. China can set markets by commanding companies to invest in certain
sectors. Yeah, no, that's that's what I mean of net zero emissions by 2060 China has said
the project could cut 300 million tons of carbon emissions a year by replacing fossil
fuel power. It's also about energy security, generating more power domestically as to
you are right. The Chinese stock market is not a main motive of growth in China.
The Chinese government since she took power has basically put their stock market in
the bin and focus more on manufacturing growth and quality of life. It's a lot more gambly,
but that's why no one actually takes it serious.
Command surges for energy-hungry tech. But building this record-shattering mega-project
in one of the most remote and geologically unstable regions on Earth, tests the boundaries
of modern engineering.
In order to build a dam like this, you're dealing with intense energies and intense altitudes.
Landslides, freezing, malfunctioning equipment, people falling off the side of mountains.
They are building this massive project on a site where six tectonic plates connect up.
That makes this one of the world's most earthquake-prone regions.
In fact, in 1950, a magnitude 8.6 earthquake,
one of the largest ever recorded in human history,
occurred in the area.
For the last 40 years,
China has developed the best hydropower engineers
in the world by far.
They're not magicians and they can't stop tectonic plates
and they can't stop earthquakes.
So that's a massive danger.
And even if the earthquake doesn't happen,
these type of projects tend to have slow disasters
happen within them. So they they see plastic in concrete into the surrounding environment
and that changes the entire environment of that place slowly over time.
Bro, sounds a whole bunch of hatred up in this bitch. You know what I'm saying?
Yo, why are you hating? Why are you hating?
Why are you hating from outside the club, man? They won't even show you the schematics.
You had to make up your own mind. You had to make up your own damn mind about where
this damn is. You had to peep like a peeping Tom from the sky. And now, and now you're
over here been like well you know what about earthquakes why are you hating
pocket watching dude
the international campaign for Tibet also warns that down projects frequently
displaced thousands from ancestral lands and several traditional livelihoods
with little consultation or support.
The Three Gorges project, which required the forcible relocation of 1.3 million people
from a much more heavily populated region, submerged large sections of the river valley,
damaging habitats for many endemic species.
China has done this before.
Over the last two decades, China's 12 dams along the Mekong have reshaped the river
and the lives that depend on it downstream.
I actually don't know anything about China's like ecological preservation initiatives.
I genuinely don't know. I mean, I do know some really bad stuff that has happened in the past, but
but that's totally, you know, fuck those birds. Okay. But, but I don't know what their modern
approach because like they're so hyper invested in renewable energy and I don't know if it's just
because they want to you know maintain energy independence and complete market dominance over
like the next the next step in global energy or if it also translates to a serious priority in
in terms of like, preserving,
like preventing ecological collapse.
You know what I mean?
China is marking more areas for national parks in the US.
No, but that's not it.
Like in terms of development projects like this,
they are right.
They do have a lot of,
they do have a lot of,
like if you could be doing dumping,
you could be, you know, poisoning the environment,
be ruining the natural wildlife. Like for example, one of the things that I was looking at, which
I'm sure you guys have seen by now, is the solar panel project in the Gobi Desert.
Massive fucking area, lots of natural sunlight, perfect placement for solar panels.
right? So they put the solar panels down, but then there's like a fuck ton of dust storms that ruin
the solar panels. And I think like they in order to get ahead of the the dust they try to find like
a more they try to find a better way to like automatically clean the solar panels. So they
start spraying it with water they put like a sprinkler system. And then the sprinkler
system turns into the sprinkler system ends up with grass growing. Then there's also the
other, there's also the other side of this as well where there's a lot of dust. So in order to avoid,
in order to make the desert areas more habitable, not just in the Gobi Desert, but like in other
places, you do these like forestation initiatives, right? And there are a lot of those things
like with a desert reclamation, putting up forests everywhere in order to stop dust storms
from taking place. You're referring to solar panels, soiling where the dust and shit
get on the panels, exactly. So making grass in the shaded region which overgrew, but
they brought in farmers with sheep to let them graze on the grass. But my question always is like
what kind of long-term impact will that have? Because you are disrupting the natural ecology.
You are disrupting like what? Because desert still has life in it, right?
When people say like, oh, they gave life to the desert. Okay, but the desert still had life in
it. It's just a different life. So what happens when you disrupt that? And I don't know. I
I don't know if they like think about stuff like that at all or if their renewable energy initiatives is simply
Their renewable energy initiatives are simply for energy dominance and not much else
Even then even if it's for energy dominance, it's still a good thing to move away from the oil and gas industry
but I
Don't know how much emphasis they place on
preserving the natural wildlife
We need Maya on this. What the fuck is Maya gonna know about that Chinese ecology, uh, Chinese conservation?
Like no disrespect. Maya is the goat and I love her and she's amazing when it comes to, you know,
American climate or the American preservation stuff, but I don't know. China is
is probably a little bit more complex, no?
It's not like they're destroying deserts,
just reversing the effects of desertification.
No, I know, but I'm saying what kind of long-term consequences
might that have?
Are they investigating it?
See what I mean?
I'm not doing it at what cost thing.
I'm just genuinely wondering, I don't know.
This is not an area that I have any knowledge over.
The Mekong runs about 4,500 kilometers from the Tibetan plateau in China through Myanmar,
Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam.
This river is the lifeblood of people for those countries, tens of millions of people
rely on natural resources that come right out of the river.
China doesn't share information on its dam building
with the downstream countries of the Mekong.
It doesn't let the countries know the designs of the dams,
how they're going to be operated when ground breaks,
when the reservoirs start to fill,
let alone how they're operating in real time.
Those who study the river say this
is left communities in the dark and unable to rely
on the river's seasonal floods and droughts.
The make long is mighty because of its seasonal flood pulse and this flood pulse drives the
make long's fishery.
I think if any political party is experienced with unintended consequences is the party that
fucked up their agricultural system by killing a bunch of sparrows law.
True.
But that's why I jokingly said I don't know what their actual, what their actual interest
is or like how much they they focus on stuff like that.
that drives the agricultural production.
Because like on the one hand, zero carbon emissions
is like obviously, like on the one hand,
renewable energy is clearly something
that they're dominating and they obviously
do care about climate change, okay?
So from that angle, they are doing more
than any other fucking country.
As a matter of fact, the reason why other countries
are doing more in terms of renewables
is directly because of China,
because of their over, their manufacturing.
where they're overproducing.
I was just wondering what it is.
Uh, I wonder like how much of that is is also an emphasis on the ecology.
What dams do is reduce the peak.
At times they can reduce the peak downstream by 20 percent, 2000 kilometers away.
But in areas closer to the dam, like here in northern Thailand,
those fluctuations are felt even more acutely.
In the dry season, the pattern reverses.
Water release for hydropower can push the river levels three times higher than normal.
As a result, environmentalists say the ecology of the river has been disrupted
and the reproductive cycles of the fish and birds are pending.
What will once thriving fishing villages are now diminished?
The problem is that the fish are bad and the fish are very dry,
so we have to be careful to stay away from the dry fish.
I don't want to, I want to eat this.
I want to have it as long as possible,
but it's not easy.
People bear the responsibility of cooking the fish
so it's easier to cook it.
people there of us will there ever be a Tuesday solution for China and Taiwan
why does PRC not recognize ROC as a sovereign country well partially because
ROC technically also features PRC and Mongolia so I think that's that would
be really weird if they recognized the Republic of China but if you're
simply talking about like the island of Formosa what we now know as Taiwan
Taiwan, you know, Taiwan a blast. Okay. It is pretty funny to make a two state Israel joke, because I don't think Israel is the country you think it is in this equation.
The Israel in that situation, at least according to Mao Zedong, is Taiwan.
A colonial outpost suffering for years.
They lose their livestock, they lose their equipment, they lose their gardens of farms
when these sudden pulses of water come through.
It's the same lack of data and transparency.
And I've been covering US history like this. Yeah, we just have the native population for manufacturing and agricultural progress. Big whoop law. Wait, what?
Genocide the native population? What are you talking about?
What?
I'm so...
We do cover US history like this.
But also, but I don't know...
I'm confused by what you were saying. This documentary, not you.
you the documentary didn't even fucking say that first of all this is not a
pro-china documentary this is a this is this is a Bloomberg original from seven
days ago is not a pro-china documentary at all they're doing a China is is
putting together one of the largest like one of the largest dams the world
has ever seen what five times I was three gorgeous damn but at what cost
they're doing that what cost thing but even then they haven't even said the
cost is genocide you kind of came up with that I don't know where you're going
stream from the lower Yalung hydropower project in India and Bangladesh while
India's Brahmaputra River is fed by other tributaries too experts say nearly
40% of its fertile sediment comes from the Yalung Sangpo's gorge sustaining
millions of lives and livelihoods.
Both countries have come to China and said that they want more information about it.
They want to know what the downstream effects are going to be.
And they're wanting more than anything else.
Assurance is that the downstream flow of the river that turns into the Brahmaputra
won't be too impacted by this hydro power project.
The border here has long been disputed.
And reports suggest officials in New Delhi, via Beijing could weaponize the water,
calling it for political leverage.
The Chinese government's counter to concerns from India and Bangladesh and others has been
that the same amount of river coming out of the canyon now will be coming out of it after
it's done and there won't be huge retention dams that could allow them to hold back water
in the case of some sort of geopolitical conflict in the future.
The construction of the Yangtze River in the East is a serious and scientific issue.
It will not affect the environment, the land, and the resources.
But still, tensions remain.
India is countering China with the construction of its own Megadam on the Upper Siyang, 90 kilometers below the border.
even as it faces local resistance and environmental scrutiny.
Without knowledge exchange and cooperation across that border,
then it's really easy to play on people's fears.
And what I think it's really important is that these decisions are made on
like quantifiable, open and like objective data
that enable us international scientists but also importantly
like people whose livelihoods are at stake in that river basin
actually have a say.
The objective of this discussion here is not to like vilify China
or to basically put this project into a bad light.
Indeed it would have a major impact and major benefit
for China's target to become more carbon neutral,
which would have major implications for the global climate.
If China can pull this off,
then it's a statement to the rest of the world to say,
like we're reshaping rivers,
We're creating clean energy. We're providing our economy and companies with infinite clean
Hassan can't read Hanzi so he's too dumb to understand propaganda. They're not building dams
What?
Law this video is propaganda farmers and people in general living near the rivers love dams because they reduce flooding and help with droughts
And China isn't building a dam, but a hydroelectric tunnel through mountains to generate power. This video is pure propaganda
China isn't building a dam, but hydroelectric tunnels. Please stop repeating propaganda. I am Chinese
Okay, first of all calm down
I I was already making jokes about how
The video is literally saying like well, it'll provide energy for so many people but also at what cost and
Secondly
Once again calm down. I'm not even you know, I'm not saying nothing negative. I
Spent the first half of the video nutting over the massive infrastructure project calm down. All right, so there
that chatter doesn't know what they're talking about you can't build a hydro tunnel without
a dam and this guy's Pakistani so he's basically halfway there to being Chinese.
saying. That's China's guy right there, Pakistani mango. See, he
He didn't even deny it.
He said, yep.
Now, the video said there's multiple dams and then also tunnels too.
Yeah, if I'm white Chinese, Pakistanis or brown Chinese, it's real.
Alright, yeah, Marcus Brownlee also did a lot of China Glaze video.
Driving Xiaomi's electric car, are we cooked?
And that's not even the ultra one.
An actual door handle in Mexico City, I've seen more B-Waidi cars in the last years
than Tesla in my whole life.
It's not competition at all.
Bro, finally, buttons for AC controls.
all things on screen.
A lot of hot takes in the tech world and I see a lot of them in the comments section
and articles all the time and one of the most common ones is have you seen these Chinese
electric cars?
If they ever came to the US they would cook everything that we have here.
They are too good, they have too much tech and they are too cheap.
Their bitches are too bad, their weed is too loud, their smoke is too loud dude.
legit glazes 100% no caveats no nothing yeah because it's good and even now when
you actually admit that something Chinese is really fucking good people will
still go oh I guess you're getting paid by China to do propaganda but those
voices in the next decade will basically go away entirely as it becomes
undeniable. Yeah, they're steak too juicy, they're lobster too buttery. It hurts seeing
you have wrong takes on EVs. Wait, what? What are my wrong takes on EVs? My takes on EVs
are, first of all, I'm an EV driver. That's number one. And my only wrong take, I guess,
on EVs is I hate how everything is on a fucking stupid ass iPad and everything is
far too like computer-based and it seems like this BYD car at the very least like
brings you know the the tactile touchback to not dominate everything and
so I figured I should get my hands on one and actually figure out if that's
true or not and yeah you can say there's a little something to it
There are so many crazy things I've learned about this car while I've been testing it.
But let's just start with the basics.
This car here I've been driving for the last two weeks is called the Xiaomi Su7.
Yeah, that Xiaomi.
So the Xiaomi that makes basically everything in China, tablets, headphones,
robot vacuums, printers, appliances and smartphones.
And they even refer to the trims of this car as the Su7, Su7 Pro.
How fast can a Chinese TV do in a school zone?
No, no, Marcus, don't do it.
Don't do it. Don't test out the the limits of the speed in a school zone
Su7 Max and Su7 Ultra. So this here is the Su7 Max and this retails for about
299,000
Chinese Yuan which actually converts to about
$42,000 US
Which is gonna be a lot more dude. Just fucking wait, dude
dude 42 grand for a car and then you look at the car and you're like what is
the what is the like comparison model to this in America and then you realize oh
my fucking god this shit is so impressive in about five minutes so base
specs this is a fully electric four-door sedan 101 kilowatt hour battery
dual motor all-wheel-drive 673 horsepower and 320 miles of range already
those are specs on paper on the level of like a Tesla Model 3 performance which today costs like
$55,000. Now looking around the outside of this car it looks like a pretty reasonable car I think
a lot of people would agree but that's the thing this is Xiaomi we're talking about making this car
and they're not a car company which means they don't have any previous designs that they have
to pay homage to or any traditional lines and shapes that they have to keep around
which means a little bit less prestige, yes, but also a little bit more freedom.
Because I see them taking stuff from all over the rest of the car industry in this car.
Like these headlights, for example, that is very much a McLaren looking headlight,
and they have lotus lines on the hood here. And then as you get back even more,
kind of looks like a Porsche Taycan from the side profile, if I'm not crazy.
It has these thin bezels like the Polestar and then a thicker tail light across the back,
Which kind of looks maybe like a Lincoln or some others and then there's a fully active wing on the back
That kind of looks like a Mercedes-AMG GT. All of these are more expensive cars for more premium brands
And so they kind of meld them all together into one car with this kind of unique purple color
That honestly I think looks pretty good, and we're not even on the inside yet
So the inside here is where they really start to stack the winds.
This is a nice car, not just in like a nice with an asterisk type of way, like, oh, this
is nice for a $45,000 car or, oh, this is nice for a car I've never heard of.
No, this, this is a nice car.
It's got this pretty clean design all around the interior, again, bringing in inspiration
and premium features from a bunch of different places.
These are comfortable heated and ventilated leather seats
This heated steering wheel looks and feels a lot like a Porsche steering wheel to me with the shape and the simplicity
And just a few buttons of stocks at the bottom
There's a big bright and automatically aligning
HUD in front of me right in front of the road at all. You're fucking stealing our IP brother. Oh, no, sorry
You're stealing the IP. What are you doing?
What are you doing China? You are stealing the IP 9
All times and that's right above a small display behind the steering wheel and then a 16-inch primary display in the center
And then there's storage everywhere. There's here in the middle between the front
I've talked about how I
the one thing about like Chinese EVs that I hate is all the bells and whistles and then
Ziker the
the EV manufacturer
Actually gave us
some of their top-line models
like for free when we were in China to drive around in I forget which one it was but the ones
that we were driving around in in well they didn't give it to us for free as in like they're mine
now they're they just gave it to us for the days that we were in I think Chengdu right
And
And
And I take back everything I said about the bells and whistles because a lot of the a lot of the the
Chinese cars
But there's a big like
Ziker 9x SUV is the one you guys used or the minivan. No is the minivan. We were in the minivan and
and let me fucking tell you, okay?
I actually like the bells and whistles now.
I take back everything I said,
cause holy fuck dude, those cars are insane.
Yeah, they had the massage seats.
They, it was crazy.
It was fucking crazy, brother.
See, it's where they've also cleverly stored
a flashlight powered by the car's battery,
kind of like Rivian.
And believe it or not,
a tasteful amount of real hardware control.
There's a power on off button right here. Yes temperature controls up and down fan speed up and down on my fingertips
You can also put the road. This is literally the exact
Same both of these are the exact same image straight out of the Porsche
Maybe it's the same another cars too, but this is straight up like this is the exact same it looks
identical to the take-in it doesn't in the take-in there's no I don't think there's buttons in the take-in for
for boosting the suspension.
A wing up or down at the back of the car.
And there's a lift height because there is, of course, an adjustable air suspension.
Up at the top there's a pair of air-cooled 50 watt wireless chargers
because, you know, if you've got a Xiaomi car you might as well have a Xiaomi phone
with 50 watt wireless charging to match.
So those go up there.
There's also a huge tinted glass panoramic sunroof over my head very nice feature the headliners all Alcantara everywhere
And there are 25 speakers in this car that sound really good and ambient lighting everywhere
That pulses to the base of your music in the colors of the album art of the song
That's yeah, this is the type of shit that I think is like too much
I still think this type of shit is too much like I just don't I can't get myself to care about that
That's like whatever playing because it's connected to the car
And it just knows that type of thing and that's not even mentioning the backseat experience of this car
Which is also really nice those screens for the rear passengers are show me tablets because of course they are
I haven't even driven it yet, and it's already feeling like a 60 65 thousand dollar car
But there are not one but two really cool features. I've never seen in any other car
that are in this one.
So number one is this software.
The software is so good.
This feels like a preview kind of of like
what Apple might have done if they'd made an Apple car.
I say that because it's super smooth,
just like a smartphone,
but also it's a car made by someone who makes a phone.
And so the car plugs right into the Xiaomi ecosystem
in so many ways.
There's a wireless charger,
but also wireless screen mirroring.
It connects to various other Xiaomi smart home accessories like security cameras, you
can sign.
One of the most surprising things for me was how much the Chinese love Tesla still.
And I guess I kind of understand it because like, you know, they, they let Tesla operate
in the country.
It's like a, like a premier.
don't like it as much anymore, but they still, they still got a lot of motion. Tesla still
has a lot of motion, I guess partially because they don't have, you know, Twitter out there.
So they, they don't see what Elon is getting up to, you know what I mean? Also, to be
fair, Elon does talk a lot of shit about every non-white minority except for the Chinese.
I wonder why. I wonder why Elon never talks shit about China.
Hmm.
To them with the car with your account.
So everything from text messages to map directions are all syncing from your phone.
And if all else stills, thankfully as a backup,
this car also happens to have wireless Apple CarPlay and it's nice.
Oh my God. I just realized something. Elon Musk is,
Elon Musk is literally a Chinese spy.
He is destroying the western world by getting every western government to collapse in and
of itself by propping up the most incompetent fascist charlatans into positions of power
and allowing the western liberal capitalist world to collapse in and of itself.
Yilong Ma is real.
I mean seriously I've joked about this before but it's like if you want to actually destroy
If you want to like genuinely terrorize the Western world if you want to genuinely destroy America vote Republican, right?
There is perhaps no better way to accelerate the demise of American Empire and
I guess technically Elon is doing that and not just in America
He's doing that everywhere. I think it is the biggest nicest window of wireless carplay
I have ever seen in a car. I think probably my favorite example of the software being incredible in this car is
You see the speaker and the headrest behind me
When I'm driving and my phone is paired to the speakers in this car and I'm navigating
You know that part where like you're driving and the music is getting pretty good and right as the bass is about to drop
The navigation voice comes on and interrupts. That's true. I did write this
I did this is the thing that I said Republicans did more damage to America after 9-11 than Al Qaeda could ever dream of
that is a real quote from Hassan Hassanabi Piker bars one of my best and I stand by
it that never happens in this car because it separates out the voice from
the navigation and puts it just in that speaker behind me while all the rest of
the music in the sound in the car stays exactly the same so as a driver I
I hear the voice saying turn left, turn right, but everything else, including the music for all the passengers, stays sick.
That is my favorite software feature I've seen in a car in a while.
So the software being awesome is the one thing, but the second awesome...
As a non-American chatter, the USA is not an empire law. We don't care from down under.
Brother, we literally own your country.
Your country houses one of the largest CIA bases on its soil.
What the fuck do you mean?
Pine Gap, baby.
We own, bro, I am from the Cook Islands.
Not Australia.
Okay, well, you said down under,
so I thought you meant fucking Shriya.
Listen, you said down under, mom's stike.
but American owns is close enough. American owns you to chatter thing is the modules
because this is a modular interior because hidden around this car are a bunch
of various mounting points for modular accessories
there's one over here in the corner and another over here in the center
all the way around the back of this center display and so on these mounting
points you can attach
Various accessories that Xiaomi makes shatter the Cook Islands is Australia's fucksleeve and we're America's butt blood
What the fuck what a visual
Listen inshallah one day
Australia will be firmly under the protectorate of China. Okay, they're making major gains
Australians don't even realize it. They caught they they're so hostile
They're so hostile to the ownership exchange going from one daddy to a much nicer one to
a much better one.
Okay.
At least, at least maybe you'll get some infrastructure improvements, you know.
America gave you nothing.
Drew Pavlov just had a stroke with those words, dude, oh my God, I forgot.
Oh my God, I can't wait for China to own Australia.
And then when they do, Drupalov will go to jail forever.
Oh, that's yet another benefit for everyone in Australia, honestly.
The gift that keeps on giving.
this extra speedometer and trip display or this magnetic car mount in the corner of the car
or this super useful USB hub that gets full power and can pass it along oh my god like like fucking
like Pui the rehabilitation story of Drew Pavlov okay he goes he goes through reeducation
They put him in vocational training.
He finally actually has to get a job.
And then he works, he works on, I don't know.
He works in the local Chinese government office as a, as a simple records producer.
They make him the janitor.
Oh my God, imagine.
You called it pizza gate style operations are happening.
The Minneapolis Daycare Center targeted by this tweet,
Nicomas Daycare Center received telephone threats of violence
and was broken into last night of vandalized and checkbooks
and parents documents were stolen.
I don't like remembering that I live in America
when we're doing, you know, the daily dose of China, okay?
China, what are you doing?
What?
What?
What are you doing?
What are you smelling over here?
You already ate all the treats.
You ate all the treats, you are so tall, now it's crazy.
She just straight up is the height of the desk.
Hello?
Hello?
I already gave you all the treats.
I don't have any more.
Daddy.
Mogged, true.
Through a cable to passengers in the backseat
or wherever they want.
There's also high quality microphones
that pair to the car for a karaoke experience
or even long range walkie-talkies for some reason.
If you need to maybe shoot a video with the car
and communicate with the camera car.
What other car does this?
I've never seen the ability to customize
exactly how much hardware or how little hardware you have in the interior layout, like Xiaomi
does. I mean, they're not a car company clearly, but they've come up with some really innovative
things to make the car uniquely your own. You can make it maximalist, you can make it
minimalist, you can do as much or as little as you want. And that'll of course fluctuate
the price you pay, but hey, that's up to you. I think that's pretty sick. All that
is without even mentioning all the little stuff like the active noise cancellation
in here, the quality of the speakers, the surround sound, all the other things that the
software does really, really well, and I haven't even gotten to driving it yet.
No, not in the school district.
So this is obviously a standard issue four-door electric car, right?
But the superpower of electric cars is that they can have-
ask why you're living in the US but you don't want to remember living there just asking yes the answer is
oh you should come you should move my fatherland Finland here people have really same politics
like you i don't know if that's the case but uh it's definitely closer at least um and no the
reason why i don't move out of the united states of america and into the heartland the motherland
of China is because I am far too fucking annoying and far too stubborn and I
still believe that America has America holds great promise America still has
tremendous potential we're just squandering said tremendous potential
and I wish that through my advocacy I wish that we could improve people's
lives here
Oh multiple personalities that's what makes these interesting so in its default mode, which is comfort mode
So you're delusional. Yes. Also, this is my home
No matter how much all of my neighbors tell me to fuck off and leave and go to China
Because I want to improve the neighborhood
It's still my neighborhood, you know
It is pretty funny though and
Far too honest in your commentary you move there you start seeing everything is as perfect as it may seem
You'd have no way of pushing back what you do here in order to better lives of the average people
I mean, I already know that I
Already know that there's no, you know, I moved to China. I do the same commentary. I just don't talk about China
That's not a problem
You gotta be a little delusional to realize actual change true
You know
Having said that you are the first Turkish born ABC, I'm born I am ABC. I'm just ABC. I was born here
I'm ABC American
born Chinese
Nice actually it rides super soft. It's chill
The air suspension is actually pretty incredible
I feel like this is on the same level of
absorbing all these bumps and all these potholes
and the things on the road
as the lucids that I've driven.
Like this is really quite good.
And it never gets too unsettled.
The accelerator pedal, it's responsive enough.
It's not like super twitchy and aggressive.
It's obviously the comfort mode.
So you feel like you have all the power you need,
but it rolls it on nicely
and eases off when you remove your foot from the pedal.
And what a lot of other EVs don't have
is this really high degree of customization
over exactly how that feels.
Like there is a full-on power delivery slider.
You can move it to be a fully rear-wheel drive vehicle,
all the way to a fully front-wheel drive vehicle.
And then the lift-off region is nice and secure
and assuring.
This is a, you never have to take the car out of this mode
if you never wanted to.
This is a very reasonable thing to expect
from a four-door electric car.
But there's also a drive mode knob down here.
If I just turn it one notch to the right,
everything turns red.
the graphics in front of me change. I get my estimated range and my speed and how much
power I'm using and then I rotate it again and it's sport plus mode and there's a g-force
meter. No, these aren't banned here because of Elon. No, these are banned here because
of UAW, Ford, GM. I mean, Elon is like not even the fourth person petitioning to
ban these things, you know.
Now, and now all of a sudden the accelerator pedal is way more responsive and
twitchy and everything firms up.
The steering is definitely heavier.
So this feels much more like a fun type of drive and it's not quite on the
maxed out level.
Like I know people want to compare this to Porsche Taycan.
This is not Porsche Taycan levels of sporty, but it's, it's like one notch
below that, which is still really good. It's got all the EV party tricks, 0 to 60 in under
three seconds, launch control, and even a little boost button where if you press the
drive mode button, you get this crazy graphic on the screen and that's all of your power,
which is sick. So obviously it does great in a straight line with 600 plus horsepower,
but it kind of handles on the same level of Model 3 performance or BMW i4. This is
a really capable car. It's kind of like a wolf in sheep's clothes type of car where
you see it on the road and it doesn't necessarily. Yes, the Ford CEO literally loves his Su7
and said if they were ever released in the US it would be game over. He did say that.
Something along those lines. Yeah. And he, I think he even said his daily driver is
the Chinese car that he shipped here. Yeah, Ford CEO said the US can't compete with
Chinese EVs. He, for CEO loves daily driving an electric sedan from a Chinese competitor.
Jim Farley admitted he has been driving a Xiaomi SU seven for six months and said he
doesn't want to give it up.
Another thing that fucking CEOs get to have that the average person doesn't by the way.
No, this is straight up. He, this was a big deal.
The problem here is, we don't even, like the issue here is, okay, you see that, you recognize
it, you like it, I have a solution.
Make competitive products.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
No, nevermind.
No.
I can do is an even larger fucking F 750.
Great.
Fucking love that.
Thank you Ford CEO Jim Farley.
At least you get to individually enjoy it.
Look like something that has Porsche 911 Turbo S horsepower,
but it does.
And so yeah, it kind of,
just gives you this confidence
of being able to place the car wherever you want
on the road.
And that is the superpower of electric cars.
Plus it's got these active bolsters.
The seats are hugging me when I go around turns.
So when I turn right, the left bolster kind of like hugs
like catches me a little bit.
Is this something those very expensive G-wagens have done
and popularized for a while now?
It's a little weird, not gonna lie, but.
Yes, F750 is a real car.
I know it's a real car.
Yes.
Just makes you think it's doing something.
No, you can't call it a car.
It's a truck.
And it's a truck truck.
not even a fucking like, like, you know, pickup truck at that point, basically. Um, I think
it's a 750 or a 700. It's a utility. It's yeah, you once you go above like four, I think once
you go above like four, you need a CDL, right? Like you need a commercial driver's license.
I don't think you can have a, uh, you can have like a regular driver's license to
drive those I mean they're fucking insane they're yeah f f 750 2016 super duty
crew cap power stroke duly I mean they're kind of sick they look fucking
dope dude it's fucking nuts dude it's so crazy
It's one mile per gallon on the highway.
This bad boy does one miles per gallon.
things got gout for sure it's called freedom bitch I'll take two damn this
one's sick too look at this oh fuck 90 cc of four Bronco three speed current bid
31 grand shit these cars are so sick why does it have birthing hips that's a car
that you name and the name is Bertha it's actually so bad seven to ten miles
Brighall and yet no shit, of course
It's also become much more apparent as I'm driving this car how well built it really is it does not feel anything like the
$42,000 price tag might suggest like obviously materials are one thing and you've got these leathers all around and the stitching and
These different contrasting bro when you drive when you get behind the wheel that bad boy the amount of kindergarten children that you
You can run over before figuring out that you've done a fucking Holocaust of Kindergarteners
is unlimited, okay?
You could literally drive over an entire Boy Scout troop and not even know.
You'd be like, what?
It's just, I don't understand.
What happened?
Why is everybody yelling at me?
I can't even hear them.
I am so fucking high up.
You wouldn't even think it's a pothole.
If you drive over the fucking school, not just the school children, the school.
Materials, but also just in general, like it's quiet in here.
I don't hear motor noise, I don't hear wind very much, I don't hear other cars or noises
around me outside the car like I can verify that there are noises out there that I'm
not hearing.
It's sick, and then there's the active noise cancellation on top of that so it
It just feels like a really serene, calm experience,
just because it's so well built.
And you might have also noticed the LiDAR box
right above me on the top of this car here,
because the other button on the steering wheel
is Xiaomi's full self-driving,
which doesn't work on every road here in the US,
but in China, you have Pilot Pro and Pilot Max,
and those will take care of almost all of the driving
on almost all of the roads the same way,
something like a Tesla Model 3 might here in the US.
So I've turned it on on this road.
This is a smaller single lane road and it's totally fine.
There's all sorts of things like obstacles
that it has to avoid and it handles that.
It's never really done anything to give me pause
or seem kind of weird
and it's not even designed for these roads or this market.
So I imagine in China, it's even better than this.
I'm honestly trying to think of like a negative.
Now that I've been living with this car
and I've been driving it for weeks,
I've driven and reviewed many, many other cars
the past couple of years.
And usually the downsides are so obvious.
Like, oh, the tech is usually pretty bad.
like the software is bad, but while this is show me,
like they make smartphones and make all this tech already,
the software is great, the self-driving works,
the cameras are great, the displays are great,
all the tech is there.
And then all the EV fundamentals are also still there.
It has the 300 plus miles of range,
it has the quick charging, and it has the split personality,
it has the super chill, calm cruiser mode,
and the 600 horsepower brutal launch control,
0-60 in two and a half seconds sporty mode and then on top of all that it's built
super well like it has all the sound isolation and all of the hardware features
and creature comforts and physical buttons and all the modules and all this
and it's like this feels nothing like a $42,000 car which I guess conveniently
brings me back to the title of this video. So are we cooked? Not yet
clearly this car is not available here in the US but you can see how we could be
soon. I genuinely, I'm not exaggerating when I say this, this is a $42,000 car that
feels like a $75,000 car if it were made here in the US and that's the
thing that's most impressive about the Xiaomi SE7 and that's just this one. So
really now that I've gotten to live with this and drive this here in the
US among all the other cars I test here's my take. It's not that there's
any sort of crazy bleeding-edge tech in this car that's impossible to replicate.
Obviously the software is really good and the modularity and some of the features
are kind of sick and we haven't seen them before but like if you took this car
apart you wouldn't find anything inside any like bleeding-edge battery tech or
anything that's impossible to replicate. This is a car made of normal car parts
but it's the putting them all together in one car. That's so impressive. It's
I have seen this car actually China's not playing the hundred K mice Mike Strow s 800. I've seen this car
There's a specialty race. I saw this car in person for the record. I saw the car in China in Beijing
On stream, but there isn't an even cooler car
similar to this one that is
That's like
That was like they only sell it to like
like fuck. There's a type of car, there's a, there's this kind of car in China where
they only sell it to like party members. I forget what it's called though. Shit. I don't
think it's this. Is it Hong? Yeah, I think this could be it. Hong, Hong, Hong, what is
Is it Hongqiao, Hongxi?
And they have like a special trim on it too, that's like,
yeah, inside China's most insane presidential car.
The president's car is the same one.
There's also a very cool super limited version of it
that they made.
that was, um, that was, uh,
heard of the Chinese brand,
Hong Chi, but I guarantee you
have never seen Hong Chi cars
like this. There's one that's
like a very specific color.
I think this might be it.
Oh, no, these are the old
top officials. This thing has
a very vintage style to it
and always has, particularly
here on the front end looks
to get drove straight out of
the 1940s. This thing
measures almost six meters
in length. That's right.
This Hong Chi is a hunker.
But that guy's got quite a job on his hand trying to clean off this entire car.
We don't know the official powertrain for this vehicle, but the previous Hongchi had a V12,
one of the few Chinese developed V12 engines ever produced.
This one, well, maybe it'll be an EV and if it is, I bet it's going to weigh a whole
lot.
Price for one of these babies, somewhere around a million US dollars.
Looking for something a little bit more.
You can't even buy it though.
I'm pretty sure they only sell it to, I'm pretty sure they only sell it to like
party members and shit like the top of the line one is only sold to people that like that
have to give you their like resume stuff like that it's crazy a wine chiller real wood trim
back here too that's crazy as the icing on the cake for today's video we're going to be giving
you a look at this the ELS concept car this EV SUV is I'm pretty sure Hong
she literally means red flag so that would track
yeah anyway we're not just looking at other Chinese car often we see a car
with great software, great features, great build quality, great versatility.
You get these modern looking ones?
Yeah, but I don't want the modern looking ones.
I want the fucking OG looking one.
E?
I think like one of the only non-Chinese people that owns one is like the head of the state.
What is it?
Like the Salton of Brunei or something that has like the crazy car collection.
I think that was one was like gifted.
And that's it.
range and a great drive and all stacked together like that's pretty elite.
There is basically no question in my mind that if a car like this was available in the
US for $42,000 that it would crush, of course.
Actually, my name's Kim Jong-un and maybe Putin too.
It isn't, is of course inherently political and there's all the tariffs and import fees
and all that, that's super variable and we may never get a car like this available
in the US for $42,000.
Europe will allegedly in 2027 and I would say that the competition over there is at least in a little bit of trouble when that happens
The idea that the competition is getting stronger and that cars like this actually exists some other places in the world
Is really exciting and heightens the ceiling for all EVs
It raises the ceiling up for all cars to get better and more impressive and more complete like this one
So lesson learned it's gonna be fascinating to keep an eye on this stuff in the future
If you want a more raw like daily living with this vehicle type of video check out the autofocus
channel where I shot a video on the Xiaomi phone of the Xiaomi car.
Thanks for watching.
So hey, it is of course the holiday season.
And in case you-
What would you do if they give them on a speed?
What can I do?
He deserves the world man.
You know.
He deserves it.
I'm just glad that someone is out there. Uh, someone worthy out there is getting it.
You know what I mean? Maybe he'll let me borrow it.
Slurred it. Nah, we're seven hours deep. Slurred it for, uh,
his package for tomorrow. Oh, 10 K of those. Nice.
you have to make the punishment infinitely worse than the crime. And I'm talking about deporting
the entire family, denaturizing the entire family, sending the entire group of them back to Somalia.
So if this is the type of energy has for Somali-American scammers,
if it's like a German-American scammer, does he have the same attitude? Is that like,
Like, are we doing that too?
Or is it just for the Somalis that he has this kind of smoke?
Because I'm in favor of offering tremendous punishment
to people who engage in any sort of welfare fraud,
any sort of redirection of funds
that are supposed to be allocated
to feeding the poor, for example.
Because I can't recall, what did he say
when I was talking about Rick Scott?
That's what needs to happen.
and anybody complicit and anybody involved in the scam
and until we have a candidate
and the person that's willing to do that
then uh... i'm not really interested in voting if you want me to be honest i'm
really not interested in vote he actually said it would be the mergers
worse
yet he did say that except
when i was talking about rick scott he was crying and demanding i get banned
off the platform which i did
and then he didn't like how uh... how short my band was
He did not like how short my suspension was, continuously implying that I have some sort
of power over the company, even though every single day he says something band-worthy and
never gets banned.
Because why is it that I'm going to vote for a slow rod of my country whenever the solution
is so obvious?
You can't flip the switch?
Yeah you can.
You can easily flip the switch.
You just do it.
That's how it happens.
It's never happening, nothing ever happens, aside from a few tweets.
I know that.
What about GL forever?
I don't want to pay for them.
He's pro-destroying Rick Scott too now.
He talked about it on stream today.
He's just a roach with zero morals.
Huh!
Another one of my positions he's arrived at.
It's weird.
It's sure.
He sure took a sweet-ass fucking time.
It's just strange.
Your interaction with Christian and Peach reached bilibili and the netizens are saying
They shouldn't scare the elderly
So strange last month or two months ago he was crying
He like you start to copy a bunch of shit you say it's kind of funny
Yet the funniest part about it is that his fan base will move in that direction because there are they are already moving in that direction
But they won't realize that like I've been in that direction this entire time. So their hatred of me will still continue
Um, and they'll just I guess arrive at my conclusions yet months after the fact I
Don't like I know we could say like oh, yeah put them in jail and make them like put them in work
You're as big as fan. Well judging by what I was meant likes to say, you know a year after the fact
He might be my biggest fan as a matter of fact. He spends, you know years and years
Shitting on me for the positions that he inevitably adopts interesting camps forever. I don't even want to deal with that
I just want to send them back enough to deal with it.
That's honestly the way I feel about it.
When they hear you saying something, as I agree with, they will claim you changed your position a lot.
Yeah, they're fucking brain dead.
They get their political information from a guy who doesn't leave his house.
There's no, you know, it's, it's not funny.
It's bad. It's bastardizing.
sounds position yeah maybe I should say the sub takes out loud so people can
understand without ambiguity
roach fans coping now that their dad is shifting like he did when he arrived to
the right wing position yeah I mean he isn't shifting he isn't there shoe
investigating you oh yeah I saw this there was a fucking random like Israeli
account that was claiming that I was wearing like Israeli shoes or something
but Sampyger can't handle the heat when it comes to using Israeli products yeah
dude Israeli stole Birkenstocks as well what haven't they stolen brother can you
am yeah dude I went out of my way to purchase the fucking Israeli version
of the product that is like most notably not Israeli like with fucking what
fucking stupidity is this bro what fucking stupidity is this I guess the
burkeys were promised to them 3,000 years ago as well you know how is this
any different than like I mean this is the most Israeli meme of all time it's
like straight up one of the most like famous slipper brands okay but then
again they claim to invent hummus as well you know what I mean
Here you go time stamped.
There's about $50 billion estimated that are lost every year in Medicaid just in fraud
alone no if you cared about Medicare fraud or Medicaid fraud you would kill
Rick Scott okay you wouldn't make Rick Scott former governor of Florida Rick
Scott you wouldn't make him a prominent part of the rave of the party timeline
there's about 50 billion dollars estimated that are lost I saw that that
That is crazy.
That is nuts.
And I've said before, there's a statute of limitations, but apparently this was yesterday.
Yeah, this happened yesterday, even.
Oh my God.
How's that not against the TOS?
It is.
And it is an open call to violence.
And I would challenge anybody who thinks that it's not an open call to violence to
say that exact thing about Donald Trump and then tell me if Secret Service shows up at
that your house or not really secret service would show up at my house if I if it was an
open call to violence against Rick Scott as well. Rick Scott is a sitting politician.
They didn't. And the reason why they didn't is because no one actually no one serious
actually read it as an open call to violence. In any case, um, interesting. So he said
is what's his new position on Rick Scott now now he's talking about punishing Rick Scott as well
it's very generalizing the Somali American population his parasites is okay though
fuck twitching their double standards of course of course of course it is everyone is cooked
everyone is incredibly cooked to the right this man has been fomenting hatred against all Somalis
talking about like deporting everybody talking about doing terrorism the other day like literally
the other day he was like, you should actually make the environment unsustainable, persecute
the cops for defending the Somali population. Straight up an open call to terrorism, okay?
Straight up an open call to terrorism. He said it. Not even a fucking stern talking
to. What do you do? When you're right wing, you can do whatever the fuck you want. You
can even change your positions, it seems, later down the line. Because this was 10 months ago
where he said, what the fuck is Twitch doing? This is the terms of service violation. He
was, you know, demanding I get banned. For a position that now he agrees with as well,
seems. Does anyone have his new position on Rick Scott? Another clip of him talking about
you that was boosted by Elon Musk. Asmongole goes off on the Somali daycare fraud on how
wealthy Americans and the Sun defended average Americans are tired of having their country
routed out, looted, pillaged by a bunch of random fucking third-worlders and asses.
Apologize for it. It's outrageous. These insulated generally white liberals are
living gated communities. They never have to see it. There has never been a moment
where I've defended the fraud. You cannot point to an instance where I've defended
the fraud, and that's why you'll only hear people say that I'm defending the
fraud. And it doesn't really matter.
Uh, you don't match the average Americans are tired.
If you get deported, how will you be able to survive in New Jersey?
I know you lost.
Still thinking about me.
It's nice.
Thank you for all the clon clon taunt.
You make me laugh every day.
You're welcome.
Can you scroll down a little Elon Musk?
Bro it from grimes to grums.
having their country rotted out, looted, pillaged by a bunch of random fucking third
worlders and then asked to apologize for it because it's something that happened before
we were born. This is outrageous. I'm tired of it. Most people are. Yeah, they're U.S.
citizens, by the way. I don't know why he keeps saying this, but and they should be
punished if they have done crimes. They should be punished just like any other U.S.
isn't I'm also tired of pretending that I'm not tired of it. It's outrageous. Yes, absolutely.
And there's another thing too, is that these insulated. This was the one present help right
here. We're looking for present help right here. We're looking for the best rates of
help. Also post anything like this about Asmongold on a subreddit, it will get automatically
downvoted for the record. That's I think how he gets away with a lot of the scrutiny. Um,
anything that anything that like presents as men gold in a bad light, no matter how far
reaching no matter how marginal a subreddit is oftentimes will get fucking instantly
instantly downvoted. Unless it's destiny saying it in which case the bots are in
favor of destiny so they just do like a little bot farm in the reverse direction.
Rare W for the D-man he's been going after asman on all of his Somali fraud takes.
Let him fight, great.
Fuckin' finally.
anytime there's a literal sob going on ready you in particular have 10 plus posts a day
with 50 comments in less than 10 minutes. No, they it's it's incredibly bought it. It's
bought it into oblivion. LSF already is like LSF already is owned and operated by a guy
who works with destiny. And not only that, but also they bought the fuck out of posts
that they will literally take like edited clips, post it uploaded as is from the stream
and then they'll instantly bought it.
That's why any kind of mention of me that they can present in a negative fashion will
get like 10k upvotes and then they'll sit there and be like, oh, it's because everybody
hates you, dude.
It's just strange because it doesn't happen like that on any other platform.
Weirdly enough, just read it.
It's the smear farm operation yet every every single post will get like 10k upvotes in less
than an hour or two hours.
But it is what it is.
Now Hasan is zero traction because the sub is dead. Yeah
Okay here inside this building because we have some the best rates
Oh, here we are again the best healthcare information to give us a rate or then met with the police
Wait guys mate remember to pay your taxes
Yes
Another Karen yep
area that we're allowed to enforce trust. Yep. And the Somali community is a very closed community.
So everybody's in on it and they don't want to talk as you can see. What would you have the police
do instead if you were them? What would be your course of action genuinely curious? I would create
a situation where the police would be afraid to defend these places because they would be
worried about being persecuted. This would cause the police to leave and completely disband the
police force. This would allow the companies and the people in the area to be effectively
completely lawless and turn it into anarchy. That would make it completely chaotic and these
people would then become terrorized by the people that are in this community that they are somehow
trying to be trying to enable right and so the goal is for that to happen and to make it as
unpleasant and awful for them as possible. Like this is as direct as a I think call for terror
and mass instability as you can get, definitionally, okay? Like demanding lynch mobs, demanding
to harm the police, right? Maybe you should stop streaming. Wait, why? Why would I ever,
why would I do that? The difference, of course, is that he is ironically enough everything
that he claims that I have, like all the power that he claims I have, he literally has, but
because the legion of fucking sycophantic centrist loctubers will never actually call
it out, no one actually knows.
No one actually sees this, no one actually knows about it, no one actually cares about
it.
He just straight up gets to do literal calls to action, to demand mass instability, demand
harm to not only just like regular people, but law enforcement officers as well.
And there's never any big movements on Twitter to be like, we got to get this guy banned.
Calls the action yet calls the violence straightforwardly.
It's not even like a, oh, I'm misunderstanding the position that he that he's maintaining
here.
forward. 18 more months and he'll be more left than you yet. We just have to wait for
the winds to shift in the other direction so we can restructure his entire commentary
around the new meta which he will. He's already doing it. He's flipping already. I mean there
are obviously instances where he'll present himself as a straightforward white supremacist
like this one. Meanwhile, for the record, Asmongold's calls to action have been heard.
Plenty of people have been harassing random daycares all around the country, not even
just in in Minneapolis but in Ohio as well it is so funny like at most at most
lobsters that will call a asmongole will still use it as an opportunity to be
like, but his Hassan is still worse. It's truly psychotic.
Yeah, wild have all these Israeli influencers of all the same
interest in Somali daycare centers in the same week. Somali
fraud investigation. Ha, another, another influencer for Israel
can Higbee. Now doing the Somali fraud investigations. How
strange. How strange. How interesting. I wonder how that happened. Do you really think it's
him? Not all the other coverage from major news? Oh, of course, the other coverage plays
a major role chatter. I'm just saying that he is, uh, he's leaning into it. Like he is,
you think I'm responsible for any number of different things that take place? He makes
it seem like I'm the singularly responsible person. Anytime there's a fucking incident
of terror, even if it's like ISIS and shit, he'll turn around and he'll have no issues
claiming that I am the reason why this happened, right? He has no problem saying
that making it seem like I'm fucking demanding violence against like random
Jewish people or something that's never something I've said whereas he is
directly calling for the exact kind of violence that is currently taking place
you should ignore me or playing into it it's really interesting I like that this
is a this is another one of the Hassan I'm a fan of you but as he's got a
really good point type of chatter happens all the time
Happens all the time so strange
No one can just come in and be like listen doc. I love asman gold and I don't like you
Yeah, you should look away yeah, I should look away at the guy who's getting retweeted by Elon Musk
Demanding that every Somali person gets fucking denaturalized and deported the fuck out of here
Didn't he blame you for the Australian bee shooting?
Yeah he did.
of the
generally white liberals that live in gated communities vote to bring in
goes on the minute Minnesota Somali Daker fraud. There has never been a single moment
where I've defended the
That's as an pan scare the streamer may get banned and want you to stop talking about
their streamers not getting banned. Don't worry chatter. Asman gold has twitched by the
fucking balls because the moment that he gets banned will be a major reckoning. Okay. The moment
he gets banned, every single fucking right wing group is going to be primed to say twitch is so
incredibly fucking biased as they did last time. When he got banned last time, every single person
was like, Husson is still streaming on the platform. Anytime a random fucking vtuber gets
band. They talk about me. I don't even understand what the fuck I have to do with, uh, with,
with random vTubers. Like as though I have any control over who gets banned and who doesn't
on this fucking platform. But yes, the moment has been gold gets banned here. You want to
know the truth? The moment has been gold gets banned for any number of different things
that he said about the Somalis key JD Vance is going to tweet about it. Everyone is
going to be up twitches asshole talking about how twitch actually favor shows
favoritism to Hassan to dangerous communist socialist terrorists that
are anti-semitic blah blah blah all this shit and twitch knows it too they will
So 100%, 100% do a mass propaganda manufactured hysteria campaign to say, in spite of the
glaringly obvious terms of service violations that has been gold is committed over and over
again with regular frequency pretty much on a damn near daily basis, you know, fomenting
violence, fomenting hatred, violating every single fucking terms of service that exists,
service rules that exist, the moment he gets banned, every single person down to like the
vice president will be talking about how Twitch is biased in the direction of anti-Semitic
communist terrorists.
Okay?
Kik will roll out a deal for him, brother, he's already a kick streamer if you didn't
know that.
The fuck?
Asmongold already is a kick deal. He streams on kick as well.
And then, you have inside information on this? No, I don't need inside information. I have outside information. I have eyes and a brain.
And not only that, but then, they will find some other random bullshit to get me banned over as well.
You know?
He gets visibly frustrated when you cover him and that's why he wants his fans to just say you're obsessed so you can stop covering him
Yeah, I'm not gonna stop covering him the more if he keeps saying dumb shit like this
And I'm not gonna stop covering him if he stops saying dumb shit if he stops saying violent shit if he stops
Fomented hatred towards random people and stuff like that then yeah, I'll stop covering when I give a fuck about covering him
Yeah
But if you want to know the truth, that's the truth.
There's a reason why Twitch is too afraid to ban Asmongold, because contrary to what
all these fucking dumbasses think, I run Twitch or whatever, no, Twitch is terrified of outside
pressure.
Okay?
Twitch is terrified of outside pressure, and the reality of the matter is there is
not even a question.
There is so much more outside pressure from right-wing groups and right-wing entities.
There is no, like when I get banned, you will not see like AOC or Chuck Schumer tweet about
how Twitch is actually no longer a safe space for political discourse, anything like that.
Can you imagine?
companies are doing everything in their power companies are doing everything in
their fucking power to just like not rocked about and lean into the right
wing stuff to the best of their ability so that so that people don't yell at
them too much that's just the reality if you haven't noticed it I don't know
what to tell you just as all the fucking fake woke shit was was totally
for marketing purposes. They're now doing a fake anti woke shit and anti woke grift
in the same exact way. Now of course, the difference between fake
woke and fake anti woke is that, you know, fake woke is nothing. You just get like rainbow
colored teachers, not really hurting anybody. But fake anti woke means you can get away
with saying whatever kind of insane thing you want to say about minorities is just
the same dynamic that exists with right wing policy on the extreme far right versus
left wing policy on the extreme far left left wing policy on the extreme far left is like we're all equal and should be treated with dignity
And uh, you know, everyone should be able to have autonomy over their own lives
Extremist policy on the far right is like we should kill the this minority group and that minority group
Obviously it's in can there the standards are completely out of whack, right?
So
You know for them
They're just trying to carry as much water as possible for
uh, the what they consider to be this growing right-wing cultural movement
not realizing that the growing right-wing cultural movement is already on the fucking downtrend
because people think it's gross
is just totally gross
and centrist sit there and say, oh, you guys are both the same, actually
because they're fucking stupid, too
but what are you gonna do about it?
Because many centrist are not actually centrist
I've never met someone who's like, oh, I'm apolitical and they're saying that to what hide their position on free health care
I've never heard someone be like no, I'm actually I'm actually more of a centrist like a political kind of guy and
Then you you scratch the surface and you find out that they're actually for I don't know social housing or something
It's always fucking right wing. Oh, I'm centrist. I'm apolitical and then you you scratch the surface. He's right wing
I've also never really, I mean look, if anything, if you want to understand the actual cultural
backlash that is already taking place against like the anti-woke initiatives and shit, look
at Sydney Sweeney. Sydney Sweeney has to do extra sexy photo shoots three times a week
now because every time she opens her mouth and says some dumb shit about how she doesn't
care about the arguments as to whether or not she's a white supremacist or some shit,
her movies flop. Nobody fucking wants to watch her. Nobody wants to go watch her
movies. Turns out Lip Tards are the ones who are going out and fucking consuming
Sydney Sweeney products. So now she has to go back and remind everybody how how sexy she is
by being like hey guys remember I'm hot by the way my mistake I'm I'm no longer going to speak my
mind on politics. Just wait.
Even Amanda Cyfried has tried putting on nice comments about her to help.
If the pivot wasn't already happening, Asman Gold and them wouldn't be turning on Israel.
Okay.
He's already turning on Israel.
He'll turn on Trump.
He will turn on Trump too.
He already started turning on Trump on the Epstein stuff.
And the only reason why he's holding on to the immigration stuff is because he still
thinks it's super popular.
And in some circles online, especially if you're just entirely on Reddit and Twitter,
it is somewhat popular.
The more white supremacists you are, the more based you are seemingly.
But for, you know, larger cultural forces, no, that trend is also moving in the direction
of woke already and it has already.
So eventually he'll quiet down.
You are a genocide denier.
Wait, what?
What the fuck are you talking about?
Atriak literally has a both sides of the same video about you and Asmr and he's
against social housing.
Does that standard not apply to him as well?
Newsom doesn't make him part of the left. Yeah, no, I remember seeing that it's the it's an
incredibly dumb fuck video to make, um, especially when you're trying to farm, uh, when you're trying
to farm the centrist, like that's what he's doing. He fucking knows we're not the same. He's just
fucking saying that because he wants the cloud. He wants to come across as like, oh, I'm different
than these guys. That's it. That's it. You think a guy with a fucking college degree that has a
politics podcast with Doug Doug is, is that oblivious and genuinely thinks like, oh,
Hassan and Asmongold are two sides of the same coin. Really? Really?
I've been doing this for fucking 12 years. I have a degree in this.
You know
To be clear atriak is a true blood in your lips of the court. No, he's not he's not as aggressive on the
The neoliberalism playing field as you as you think he is. Yeah, he didn't is on his podcast is like he
Aiden is his co-host on his podcast is fucking ridiculous. I guess Aiden and as been gold are also two sides of the same coin.
the same coin, you know. Anyway, no, you guys have to understand a lot of these guys will
do this kind of stuff. Well, one, because they have political blind spots and it's fine.
And the reason why they have political blind spots is because it takes time to develop your
worldview. That's just the reality. And the other reason is because, you know, that's
That's what they've learned in this AI video kicks the doors of the daycare.
I mean, what do you say, man?
People are so fucking stupid.
Do you have a degree in politics or communication?
have a degree in both. That's AI no way this is AI dude no way I thought it was
real. Maggie keeps pumping out AI videos that aren't grounded in reality just a
lab or fantasy porn for a movement that can't cope with how badly the real world keeps disappointing them. Yeah.
How does having a degree in politics makes you different than others gives you a different perspective? No, I don't, I rarely ever bring up my degree.
And the reason for that is because I think it's irrelevant. But when you actually compare me to someone who is like objectively not knowledgeable and is simply
is is simply getting into it for
clout purposes it gets a little ridiculous where I do feel the need to do
this like bottom of the barrel shit
you know
Also, I do think that people react to that kind of stuff.
People actually do care about that kind of shit.
Even without the degree, like I said, I've been writing and reading and doing commentary
for the last 12 years professionally.
This is what I've been making money off of.
This is what I've been focusing my advocacy around.
I do have a little bit of experience, I think, a lot more than the average person
who has just decided to only start talking about politics after Trump became president.
And his commentary stops and starts at repeating whatever Nick Quentus is saying or going yeah
based over Donald Trump videos.
You know?
You publish any of your writings?
I mean yeah, I used to.
It's all on Huffington Post.
You think they read brother they respect education still just shove your degrees in their faces
trust me they'll respect you more might even persuade some of them don't be humble yeah
I mean like like the thing that frustrates me about that is like sure
It's not like the peak of achievement or anything and it doesn't there are plenty of fucking morons that write for the New York Times
But like you're comparing a person that is is actively working with political campaigns and
Wrote a fucking New York Times op-ed, you know a couple months ago to a person that just sits in his room sitting in mold and going
Yeah, based over Donald Trump videos. You're fucking stupid if you think that this is two sides of the same coin
I'm sorry. If you have anything above a high school degree and you find both myself and
Asmongold to be two sides of the same coin, you're either a fucking moron or you're grifting
to centrist on the internet because you know that, you know, saying fuck us on in a smug
way will allow the self-described liberals to treat you as though you're objective
on anything. That's it.
And Andres is fuck you. Bigger writer than gamer is true.
Anyway, don't even call them centrist dude.
I'm going to, I'm going to hang out with my family.
That's all I got for today.
I love you guys and I'll be back tomorrow holiday. Hossie is still in effect. Ladies and gentlemen fear not worry not
Love you all and I will see you tomorrow. Bye. Bye
