Time Text
Hello everyone, welcome to This Week in Stupid for the 31st of March 2019.
Hope this is a welcome surprise.
How are you all doing today?
Because I'm doing this live, it's obviously not going to be as smooth as the other This Week in Stupids that I did in the past.
But I had a bunch of stuff and I had an hour to kill.
And I thought, well, why not?
Be a laugh, wouldn't it?
Give me a second.
Sorry about this, but I need to get myself all set up for this week.
Right.
So, it's been a lot going on, hasn't there?
There have been many rumors that I'm going to be running as an MEP.
And if Helen Dale, I think she was writing The Spectator, is anyone to go by?
She thinks that it's a cinch that I'm going to win.
I have not declared that I'm going to be running for anything because, I mean, who wants to be an MEP, for Christ's sake?
But more importantly, who wants there to be MEP elections, at least in Britain?
The answer is, of course, about 48% of the population who can't get the fuck over it.
But I personally don't want that to happen.
I'm very much looking forward to not having to run as an MEP and for Britain to leave the European Union.
And apparently, now, the 12th of April, it's been pushed back to until they find a way to push it back again.
Because, you know, why make a decision?
Even though Poundland, even Poundland, which is a dollar store in this country, put out a press release saying, look, we really just need a decision.
We don't really care which way it goes at this point.
We just want to know what's going to happen.
So really, we should whip off the plaster, sorry, band-aid for the Americans, and get on with it, shouldn't we?
And in fact, on that note, I should whip off the plaster of not getting into what I'm talking about and get on with it too.
Sorry, I'll read the super chats at the end if that's alright, because otherwise it'll kind of interrupt my flow and, you know, it'll ruin the experience, I think.
Right, so the European Union is nothing but a good thing.
You guys have to understand that.
Because what they want to do is end racist discrimination against, quote, Afro-European people in the EU.
So I guess Trevor Noah is right.
The black people who won the French World Cup, or whatever it was, the French Cup, they didn't get their hands on the south of France.
They got them in Africa.
Because apparently they can't be French, according to Trevor Noah.
And apparently, according to the EU, apparently they have to have a prefix of Afro.
Segregate them from the rest of the population, at least conceptually, because why not?
So this is a resolution, as I understand it.
Not anything particularly official, but it's like what they want to do.
MEPs call on the EU and its member states to take measures to tackle structural racism, structural racism people of African descent face in Europe.
Well, Europe, that well-known racist continent, probably isn't as bad as everyone thinks it is.
And honestly, even if they had a point which they don't, are they going to be going about it the right way?
Probably not.
In a resolution adopted on Tuesday with 535 in favour to 80 votes against and 44 abstentions, Parliament urges the EU and national authorities to develop anti-racist anti-racism policies and stop discrimination in the fields of education, housing, health, criminal justice, political participation and migration.
See, now in all of those other fields, education, housing, health, criminal justice, political participation, there probably isn't any racism, at least not codified formal racism, that we can actually identify and address from a legislative position.
What are you going to do?
What are you going to do?
They're already going to say this.
I mean, it's already going to say this is open to anyone regardless of race or background, et cetera, et cetera, as it should.
Migration, though.
They can't really be Afro-Europeans if they're not already in fucking Europe, can they?
In the way of increasing Afro-phobic attacks.
Right, okay, I love it.
Love it.
Because now that means that we can essentially adopt this and take Europhobic.
So every time a jihadi blows up any European mosque, European church or anything like that, well, that's a Europhobic attack.
Why is the Islamic community so goddamn Europhobic?
It's a real question that we need answers to, frankly.
MEPs call on the European Commission and the EU member states to acknowledge the racist, discriminatory, and xenophobic suffering of Afro-Europeans.
Man, if it's so bad, you'd think they'd just fuck off, wouldn't you?
It's not like the borders are closed, but if Europe is so racist, discriminatory, and xenophobic, why do they come?
Why do they risk their lives by the boatload traveling across the Mediterranean?
Why is it that one guy from Senegal was like, right, okay, I'm going to burn a take a take a bus of kids hostage and burn them all alive in revenge for people dying on the crossing, which is a strange way of taking revenge on Mother Nature, but okay.
Thankfully, the kids got out of that okay.
Senegal happens to be 92% Muslim.
Don't know whether that's worth bringing up.
And offer proper protection against these inequalities to ensure that hate crimes are suitably investigated.
You know, the most important problem in Europe right now: hate crimes.
Because, you know, they're just everywhere.
Despite the fact that, you know, there are millions of crimes each year, violent crimes.
And a very tiny fraction of these are hate crimes, but don't worry about that.
It's something I'm going to go on to in a video.
I'll focus the video at some point in America.
But it's something that is just such a small problem because we are anti-racist societies.
So anyway, offer the proper protection against these inequalities to ensure that hate crimes are suitably investigated, prosecuted, and sanctioned.
Additionally, people of African descent should be taken into account more in current finding programs in the next multi-annual financial framework.
So give them money, basically.
I mean, you know, stop being a racist.
Police custody and racial profiling.
MEPs condemn the mistreatment of people of African descent in police custody.
Well, bravo.
Very brave, brave, brave.
I am.
It's about time someone stood up and said it, really, isn't it?
I condemn the mistreatment of people in police custody.
You can all worship me now.
I know.
I know it's controversial.
But people in police custody shouldn't be mistreated.
So it's stunning.
Stunning and brave.
They also note the frequent use of racial and ethnic profiling, criminal law enforcement, counterterrorism measures and immigration control.
Woo!
Why do you think that might be?
Look, all I'm saying, right, is if we go to, oh, today, in Britain, knife crime, because of the problem of it, it's reached record highs, according to the BBC.
So what is it?
That's right.
Fatal stabbings rose last year to the highest point since records began.
So campaigners saying Sajid Javid's like, oh, he's bringing back stop and search, which is disproportionately going to affect ethnic minorities in inner cities because it's ethnic minorities in cities stabbing each other to death in broad fucking daylight.
Sajid Javid is going to make it easier for officials and officers to search them under without reasonable suspicions.
The campaigners say the move was disappointing and regressive and that stop and search is not effective.
Well, since the repeal of stop and search, things have got worse.
Noticeably worse to the point where we're at highest points as records began.
You know, more murders than New York, etc., etc.
I mean, all I'm saying is you can complain all you want, but Sanjit Javid, I've got to say, in many respects, Sanjit Javid is bloody excellent as home secretary.
He's actually doing something to address the issue, and it is undoubtedly going to reduce the number of stabbings, even if campaigners leftists, crimes against humanity during colonialism.
Poland, you're listening, it's time for you to pay up.
Finland, is Finland part of the EU?
I assume Finland's part of the EU.
I haven't checked, actually.
But, you know, cough up.
All I'm saying is you're colonial empire.
Spain's already under a lot of pressure from this from Muslims and Mexicans to apologize and presumably pave the way for reparations from Spain.
Don't do it, Spain.
Don't do it.
Anyway, the resolution encourages EU institutions and member states to address and rectify past injustices.
Man, Belgium, looking at you there.
And crimes against humanity perpetrated in the name of European colonialism.
Was it perpetrated in the name of it, or was it just a consequence of it?
Was that the description?
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
These historic crimes still have present-day negative consequences for people of African descent.
MEPs claim.
Well, if the MEPs claim it, it must be true.
MEPs suggest carrying out reparations.
Here we go.
Such as apologizing publicly and return stolen artifacts to the countries of origin.
It's not going to end there, though, is it?
Not going to end there.
Parliament also calls on EU countries to declassify the colonial archives so we can really break out the birch and start whipping you across the back.
As well as to present a comprehensive perspective on colonialism and slavery in the educational curricula.
Well, okay, sure.
It's useful to know about slavery and colonialism, particularly Britain's role in ending it.
And France had a strong abolitionist movement too.
They had a very strong part in that.
So sure.
I mean, if you want white people to start being proud of their ancestry, I guess the European engagement with slavery where all the rest of the world was just fine with it is probably a good place to start.
But you know that this is going to be the entry point to, well, we need to give these people money.
And I think that this goes for the Americans as well, because you've got a lot of African-American activists who are demanding reparations.
And you know what I say?
I say give them reparations.
Give them plenty of reparations.
Make them all millionaires because it will do them no fucking good.
Because something given has no value.
If you didn't earn it, you are going to fucking piss it away.
Whether you think you will or won't.
You certainly will.
I mean, look at this, right?
And this isn't about them being black.
Because I know that there are a bunch of leftists who go, gotcha.
We knew it.
We knew that you think that they'll do this because they're black.
No.
They'll do this because they're poor.
They'll do this because they were poor and they were given an unbelievable sum of money and they didn't know what to do with it and they weren't responsible with it.
And there are so many examples of this.
So many.
I mean, look at this.
And Michael Carroll is the quincential example of this, right?
The so-called king of the chavs, right?
Chavs are a form of sort of like underclass.
The products of broken homes caused by the welfare state in Britain.
At the age of 22, he won nearly £10 million in 2002.
Sorry, pictured at the age of 22, but he got this when he was 22.
And he was declared bankrupt eight years later.
His life since the win has seen its more than its share of ups and downs.
His marriage failed.
He's been in jail twice.
He's claimed benefits for a while and even slept rough at one point.
In 2013, he said he had found happiness working in a shortbread factory for £6 an hour.
Didn't that improve your life?
Giving people stacks of cash does not bail them out.
You cannot give people prosperity.
Prosperity is something that has to be earned.
It is something that has to be taken.
And once you put in the effort, that's how you give it value and meaning.
You cannot simply just give them stuff and think that they're going to treat the stuff you give them with respect because they didn't do anything to earn it.
And honestly, there are loads of these examples.
And this is just one article that I pulled up.
But hey, you know what?
Let them do it.
Let them do it.
It'll ruin their lives.
It will fucking ruin their lives.
And all we will say, all we have to do is make sure that we get them signed at the thing saying, this is the last we'll ever hear about it.
That's all I want.
I never want to hear about this again.
Here is your money.
Sign on the dotted line.
You can't ever bring it up.
And maybe if you bring it up, that's a hate crime against white people or something.
Who knows?
If you bring this up again, you'll go to jail.
Take the money, have a great life, and I'm sure I'll see you on the breadline because fucking hell, everyone does when they're just given stacks of cash they didn't earn.
It's not going to help them.
Now, if you want to help them provide them with opportunities, well, that's a different thing.
If you want, you know, entrepreneurial loans or something they have to pay back, they're something responsible for.
Totally different.
That'll be actually something that will help get these communities out of poverty.
Maybe something about encouraging marriage.
Maybe something about encouraging fatherhood in these communities.
There's so many other options, but you know what?
Give them free stuff.
That's how this is going to work.
That's how you solve all the problems.
Because the EU knows exactly what it's doing.
The EU is the source of all good.
And because it's the source of all good, why shouldn't it just become a fucking empire?
An empire of the good, as Guy Verhofstadt has said.
Juncker calls it Juncker the unelected sovereign of the EU, by the way, the head of the commission, the sole executive body, calls on EU to seize the chance to become a major sovereign power.
Because why not?
What could possibly go wrong?
I mean, it's not like, I mean, I keep giving the example of the Peloponnesian War.
Thucydides said, the reason that Sparta and Athens went to war was the Spartans' fear of the growth of Athenian power.
If the EU wants to follow the path of Athens, they will.
I don't think they're going to be able to win the war, just like Athens couldn't win the war, and God knows how many people will die.
But look at this.
This is your dear leader.
Are you not willing to sacrifice and die for the glory of Jean-Claude Juncker?
What about Guy Verhofstadt?
The weird-looking fucker.
You know, the socially awkward bureaucrats of Europe.
Are you not willing to fight and die for these people?
Honestly, don't you believe in Europe?
The European Union must turn into a major sovereign power on the global stage, making the world in its image.
Jean-Claude Juncker said, Yeah, like, yeah, all right.
The Americans aren't going to start seeing that as a challenge to their hegemony, are they?
I mean, they're not going to start seeing that as a sort of threat growing with inside NATO.
But anyway, okay.
So, Juncker has said this: sending out plans to make Europe militarily and economically independent from its traditional ally, the US, turning them into a rival.
I mean, I did hear the Democrats saying, Well, now Angela Merkel is the leader of Free World now, since Donald Trump, the Nazi Hitler fascist, has somehow taken control of the United States and turned it into Nazi Germany.
Why not?
Why not?
What could possibly go wrong?
Well, not getting Brexit is what could possibly go wrong, actually.
In his State of the Union speech, I love it.
I love how they wish they were the United States, titled The Hour of European Sovereignty.
See?
It's not about the sovereignty of the countries will be eroded away for the great good that is the European superstate, the Empire of Europe.
That's what they want to be sovereign.
Your countries can get fucked.
They will be washed away as the glorious revolution of the European Union takes on the entire world and ends up getting the continent of Europe absolutely fucked.
He appealed to MEPs and heads of government to give the EU the powers and characteristics traditionally restricted to states.
Or what are they lacking?
You've got the flag, you've got the anthem, you've got the borders, internal borders, you've got legislative power, you've got...
I mean, all you're missing, really, are the central bank raising taxes and an army.
All things that Juncker and the other cronies of his sort of cohort at the top of the European Union have called for.
You're virtually there.
You're virtually there.
I mean, look at what he wants to do with this as well.
It's an honestly imperialistic vision that he has for the European Union.
Because apparently, the problems of colonialism.
Sorry about
that, everyone.
My son decided to come out and join me briefly.
Where was I?
Ah, yes, they want an imperial state.
Explaining his expansive vision, Juncker said that the EU should aim to surpass the dominance of the dollar in the world economy and challenge China in its attempts to become the ascendant influence in Africa.
Is that the future you guys want?
Remainers?
Do you want to be part of an imperial project that has its own colonial aspirations in Africa?
The new scramble for Africa 2.0, challenging China out there and then challenging the dominance of the dollar with the fucking Euro.
You know, the political rather than economic currency that they've imposed on Europe that is doing no good for the south of Europe.
What?
I mean, honestly, what a fantasy this is.
What an absolutely ridiculous fantasy.
Europe should not be becoming a new colonial power.
That's a very bad idea.
I mean, don't we have enough guilt from the last time we did it?
Are they not asking us to give reparations to Africa for our colonial misdeeds the first time?
Do you want to do that a second time?
Do you think that it'll end up any better?
No.
Just stop it.
Just bloody stop it.
But anyway, the EU should be a global player as well as a global payer.
Great.
With foreign policy decisions being made on the basis of a qualified majority vote in which the will of 55% of member states would win the day.
Through trade deals, the EU standards and labor conditions were being exported across the world, he said.
It was time for the continent to further use its clout to mold the future.
Yeah, this is why they want the army.
You know, this, you know, Frederica Mogheridi, I can't pronounce her name because it's Italian and weird.
But I read a bunch of articles that she had either written or countersigned regarding their intention to project power into Africa and Asia, using them military, obviously, which is the whole point that they wanted one.
It's a terrible idea.
It's a terrible idea.
Obviously, what we should do is restart the British Empire.
The geopolitical situation makes this Europe's hour.
The time for European sovereignty has come.
Are you listening to this, Remainers?
This lunacy.
Juncker told the European Parliament in Strasbourg, it is time Europe took its destiny in its own hands.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, is it?
It's time that Europe developed what I coined Welt Politik Fahigit.
I'm going to assume that's just another way of saying Labans around.
The capacity to play a role as a union in shaping global affairs.
Yes, European dominance of the globe.
Why not?
Why not?
Isn't Hitler's dream or anything?
Why not?
Europe has to become Oswald mostly say something very similar.
I mean, honestly, it's honestly becoming a fascist project.
And I really mean that in every sort of way.
They have got absolutely no area of society that they don't think they're entitled to legislate.
They will absolutely crack down your freedom of speech and they will absolutely determine what rights you have for you.
And you will have very little say in this.
But anyway, sorry.
Europe has to become a more sovereign actor in international relations.
Later, asked by the BBC whether he wanted the EU to have superpower status.
Yeah, you know he does.
Juncker was cautious in his language.
I want the EU to become a major player in the global scene.
Not a super, just a oh no.
Superpower, I don't like that expression.
We have to be super, but not a superpower.
Right, okay.
It's just that it sounds bad.
It's not that he doesn't want that.
It just sounds bad.
Because, you know, it sounds kind of power mad and kind of aggressive.
And it sounds like we're going to go to war with the United States and China.
I mean, over Africa.
Because God knows that's what we need to do.
Fight China and the US over Africa.
Brilliant.
But hey, there's just something about the continentals.
They just can't stop.
They get it in their heads and they just they go.
But Juncker's direction of travel was clear.
Although Donald Trump was never directly named, the US president was referred to throughout the speech.
Traditional international alliances could collapse and the EU needed its independence.
Oh, do they?
The EU needs a situation.
Oh, does it?
Fucking does it.
But he told the MBPs, we will not militarize the European Union, a promise I'm sure he will definitely stick to until it comes time to needing to militarize the European Union.
But what we want is to become more autonomous and live up to our global responsibilities.
Oh, God.
Okay.
All right.
So yeah, basically, this is the future of Europe.
In 1913, Europeans expected to live a lasting peace.
And yet, just a year later, a brutal war broke out amongst brothers.
Dude, I mean, like, it didn't just break out.
It was a very, very complex network of alliances that got triggered by an assassination.
But anyway, sorry, I'll carry on.
I speak of these times not because I believe we're on the brink of another catastrophe, but because Europe is the guardian of peace.
I think that's a wildly inaccurate statement.
We should be thankful we live on a peaceful continent.
Well, no, no.
Don't worry about that explosion.
Religion of peace.
Made possible by the European Union.
Well, truck of peace, driven by some guy who's definitely not a Muslim.
Let us show the European Union a bit more respect.
Get fucked.
How do the European Union gets bent?
Just absolutely just gets bent.
Just when can we destroy this?
That's my question.
When can we destroy this goddamn unholy union and actually set the countries of Europe free again?
That's what I think needs to happen.
The European Union must be destroyed.
But so yes, This is Jean-Claude Juncker's plan for the European Union because by 2050, Africa's population will number 2.5 billion.
One in four people on Earth will be African.
We need to invest more in our relationship with the nations of this great noble continent.
And it was Guy Verhofstadt the other day who tweeted out.
I should have prepared this.
I didn't think about this actually.
But I should have prepared this because Guy Verhofstadt tweeted out that he wanted an EU and African Union as in free movement between Africa and the European Union.
And he was sat there saying, he was like, well, look at the human capital we would have.
Look at the resources we'd have access to.
And it was literally like he was playing a game of civilization.
Like he was playing total war or something.
Like he sat there looking at these numbers on a screen and going, wow, Europe would be the most powerful nation on the world.
You know, the empire in the world.
It's lunacy.
Absolute lunacy from people who have absolutely no idea the kind of physical, like, the physical nature of what is going to entail and the actual suffering that's going to be caused.
But anyway, these people are lunatics with an absolute dream of world domination.
Hell bent on it, in fact.
And for some reason, loads of people are in favor of this.
Loads of people are in favor of this.
Why?
Why would you want this?
Can't we just sit quietly on a little island and get on with our hobbies?
You know, do the things that make us happy and work hard, be prosperous without fucking with other people around the world.
Is that too much to ask?
All I'm saying is that that's what I would like.
For us to not be an imperial power for five minutes for at least a couple of generations?
Is that too much to ask?
Anyway, changing gear slightly, Mark Zuckerberg is asking governments to help control internet content because I guess he's sick of congressional hearings at this point and has realized that, you know what, this was way bigger than I expected it to ever become.
And now it's kind of out of my hands.
Mark Zuckerberg says regulators and governments should play a more active role in controlling internet content.
Fuck's sake.
It's going to get worse before it gets better.
You know that, right?
It's going to get way worse before it gets any better.
Every single day, less and less freedoms, more and more fear, more and more control, more regulation, more government interference in your life, more hate speech laws, more people going to jail because they posted the wrong thing on social media.
And then when some lunatic goes and does something, it'll turn an entire country into a fascist state within a week.
In an op-ed published in the Washington Post, Facebook, I've got a video coming about that as well, but my God, it's a big thing.
I'm waiting for New Zealand to stop implementing fascism.
I'm actually waiting for them to sort of like stop eroding the freedoms of New Zealanders because of one fascist.
It's amazing how much influence they have.
I'm far disproportionate to the impact they genuinely have on the world.
In an op-ed published in the Washington Post, Facebook's chief says the responsibility for monitoring harmful content is too great for firms alone.
Naturally.
I mean, when you have like three billion users or whatever Facebook has, how could you expect them to?
It's just absurd.
He calls for new laws in four areas.
Harmful content, election integrity, privacy, and data portability.
It comes two weeks after a government user decides to live stream an attack on his mosque in Christchurch.
Yes, I bet that was an embarrassment for Facebook, wasn't it?
Lawmakers often tell me we have too much power over speech, and frankly, I agree.
Well, so do I. At least we all agree.
Holy shit, we all agree that too much power is being concentrated in Silicon Valley.
Now, you could say we need the government to step in and determine who gets to see and hear what.
Or you could say maybe we should write an internet bill of rights.
So, there are certain standards to which all social media platforms have to adhere, at least operating in certain countries that have adopted this internet bill of rights, that protect the liberties of people using the internet.
And sure, that'll come with some responsibilities.
But to be honest with you, they're already written into law.
I want constitutional guarantees of my security online from the platforms themselves.
For example, there should be no permanent suspension.
You know, the oxymoronic we have permanently suspended your account.
Being suspended is temporary by definition.
You can't permanently suspend something.
You terminate these things.
And if social media is the way of the world in the future going forward, and I don't think that's going to change, well, surely we need something like that.
If this is the new town square, we need our rights to speak guaranteed.
Now, you can have various punishments for speaking in certain ways that are apparently unacceptable because everyone's a fucking softy these days, but something has to be done in this regard.
Shame that MEPs have got absolutely no legislative power, isn't it?
Really?
But anyway, he wants to create an independent body so people can appeal our decisions about what is posted and what is taken down.
Now, I've actually mentioned this myself and I've suggested this before.
And I'm actually quite impressed that Zuckerberg's on side with that.
I'm actually at the point where I think that perhaps the regulation of who can and can't use a social media platform should be taken out of the platform's hands, at least in Silicon Valley, because my God, they are irresponsible and they do have no appeal, no recourse, no nothing.
Once you're gone, that's it.
They wanted you gone and you will stay gone.
That's not fair, is it?
It doesn't.
It's, I mean, that is the same as a digital death sentence.
You know, what did Alex Jones do?
Alex Jones, I mean, for Twitter, he went and talked to a journalist, not even on their platform at the time.
But for like, you know, other people and for other platforms, what did he even do?
He says things that are ridiculous.
Oh, that's it.
Execute the man.
No trial?
No, nothing?
Nothing?
Nothing in any way to allow him to kind of have any kind of recourse or any kind of justice.
Just Alex Jones just one day is unpersoned.
So in brief, this is what Zuckerberg wants.
Common rules that all social media sites need to adhere to, enforced by third-party bodies to control the spread of harmful content.
Well, if it wasn't just to control the spread of harmful content, I mean, like, I don't even agree.
You should be able to necessarily control what you think is harmful content because, I mean, that means that Twitter's misgendering policy is now, you know, if you misgender, that legitimizes it, you're spreading harmful content.
So, so what?
You know, so we are we just adopting leftism now?
Are we saying that, well, you know, all of the gender LGBT activists were completely right and we agree with everything they say?
Is that something that's going to wash in countries like Brazil?
I mean, maybe.
Is it going to wash in countries like the Middle East?
Probably not.
All major tech companies to release a transparency report every three months, put it on par with financial reporting.
Stronger laws around the world to protect the integrity of elections with common standards for all websites to identify political actors.
Possibly, but that means you're going to have to verify everyone because any citizen is a political actor.
Anyone who can vote is a political actor.
And you're not going to be able to play favorites.
And again, if you want to protect the integrity of elections and prevent election meddling, man, Silicon Valley is going to have to restore an awful lot of right-wingers who got their accounts mysteriously suspended, aren't they?
Laws that not only apply to candidates and elections, but other divisive political issues.
And for laws to apply outside of official campaign periods.
Oh, that sounds good.
New industry-wide standards to control how political campaigns use data to target votes online.
More countries to adopt privacy laws like the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation, which came into force last year.
I don't actually know what that does.
Maybe it's a good thing.
A common global framework that means these laws are all standardized globally rather than being substantially different from country to country.
Clear rules about whose perspective for protecting people's data when they move it from one service to another.
Well, that sounds fabulous.
I'm sure nothing will go wrong.
I'm sure all will be completely as intended.
Moving on to Miss Cortez, who's doing very well at the moment.
I noticed that her approval rating is negative, which is fabulous.
And I noticed that her constituents, the 15,000 or so people who voted for her, don't feel represented by her.
Her heart is not in the Bronx.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's constituents complain that she's ignoring him to spend all her time on national issues.
And to be honest with you, don't elect me to anything because I'll probably do the same.
You know, don't elect me to do shit, because I will do exactly that.
I'll be hammering something somewhere that I feel is important in the grand scheme of the culture war.
I will be a terrible elected representative.
Don't elect me to anything.
Don't do it.
I'm promising you now, you don't want me to run anything.
So some Bronx residents are claiming that Cortez has abandoned them and aren't representing their interests and isn't representing their interest, daily mail, while she's busy fighting for her Green New Deal.
Cortez has been making national headlines for efforts on behalf of the Environment Friend of General, blah, blah, blah.
Residents of Ocasio-Cortez's 14th district in her New York City hometown told the New York Post that since she took office, they haven't been able to get the U.S. representative to pay attention to pertinent local issues, including cleaning up parks and sorting out mail delivery issues.
Don't you realize she's saving the world?
Don't you realize that making it so that the entire of the United States is now using wind-generated power or something like that means that climate change is over.
Don't worry about China.
Don't worry about India.
The European Union will sort them out.
When the European Union goes toward China and is, I presume, conquering it, it'll flatten every factory and turn them all into a bunch of sewing parks or something.
But yeah, no, she's saving the world.
Dear local activists, Roxanne Delogado of the Bronx.
She's busy.
You're just some plebeian.
You have to know your place.
You're in the cheap seats.
She's busy fixing the world.
Do you have a solution to climate change?
If you don't, you sit down because she's got this new deal.
She said that she'd been calling Cortez, Washington and DC Queen's office and Queen's offices in hopes of enlisting the newly minted Democratic representatives' help in trying to clean up local parts and save an animal shelter in the district.
No way.
Delgado said the calls and a series of tweets directed at the 29-year-old's popular personal Twitter handle have gone unanswered and claimed that Cortez's DC office phone line goes unanswered and that the voicemail was full.
Another of her constituents, Bronx resident Anthony Vitalani, I can't pronounce these, told the post that he is hoping to get Cortez to throw her weight behind the community's efforts to get Amtrak to remove graffiti from some of the rail companies properly in the neighborhood.
That is such a quaint and small problem.
No one, no one in her position is going to pay attention to this.
It would make her look fantastic.
It would mean that she would actually build bonds with her community, the people that she's supposed to represent.
But my God, she is on a mission to save the world.
Don't you understand that removing graffiti and cleaning up the parks, that's for loser, Congressman.
On March the 1st, she tweeted that she was calling the USPS to figure out why Morris Park constituents were only getting mail once every two, three days.
Then she updated her constituents in a second tweet, noting that they're on it.
We're fixing mail, solving problems.
Blah, blah, blah.
This is big stuff, people.
And when a constituent tweeted at her to add Bronx neighborhood Parches to the list, she responded that she was looking into it, and I guess nothing happened.
They seem rather disappointed.
I thought AOC would be our savior, but that's not the case.
And do you know why?
No one is going to save you.
No one.
No one is capable of doing it.
Your representatives aren't going to do it.
Anyone you put your faith in is not going to do it.
You have to save yourself.
Everyone else is too busy with their own interests.
You have to save yourself.
Stop relying on other people.
If you want something done, make it happen.
Get out and do it.
Just do it.
But yes.
So she's been remarkably absent because she's off, wasn't she in Utah or something the other day, cavorting around and saying that, by the way, my Green New Deal is actually great and everyone should agree to it, even though you all hate it.
And literally voted it down 57 to nothing.
Bam!
Absolute bit slap.
And she's also complaining that, oh, I've been getting death threats in the media, and the media hates me, and therefore everyone else hates me.
And it's not because my policies are stupid and I'm an asshole.
It's not that.
It's because the media is making me look bad.
It's that okay.
It's the media.
Yep.
And that 90% negative coverage of Trump, which hasn't affected his approval rating, which is still around 45%.
How do you explain that?
There's been a non-stop, and many times on the left and the right, non-stop machine to denigrate Donald Trump and has been for the last, what, three years now?
And he's still at 45%.
How is that?
How is that possible?
And how is it not working for you?
Is it that your ideas and your philosophy isn't as popular as you might have thought it was?
And since we're on the Democrats, we'll get to Uncle Joe.
Now, this is a good one.
I like this.
Now, for anyone who knows anything about Joe Biden, the vice president under Obama, the bromance that Biden and Obama had was very popular on the left during Obama's, definitely his second term, anyway.
I'm sure it wasn't his first.
But it was very popular.
They were like, oh, they were buds.
You know, they obviously like and respect one another.
They get on really well.
That's great.
Just don't Google creepy Uncle Joe clips on YouTube.
Just don't search it.
Just don't search it.
Because, man, he got accused the other day by Lucy Flores of sniffing her hair like a disgusting creeper.
And he was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hang on.
Not once have I acted inappropriately, says Joe Biden.
It's like, Joe, Joe, look, listen, buddy, right?
There are so many, so many compilations of you acting in truly despicable ways.
I mean, look, just look at this girl's face.
What are you doing?
What are you fucking doing?
Look at her face.
Yeah, that's someone who wants to turn and run.
And I'm not going to play one because we'll be here all day.
I mean, look, I was trying to find them.
The only one I could find that wasn't like this very quick one is like 20 minutes long.
20 minutes long of him like weirdly touching children, playing with their hair, pinching them and stuff like this.
Like, Joe, you seem like a giant pedo?
Like a fucking just stop touching the children, Joe.
They're not your children.
If they were your kids and you were giving cuddles and stuff, fine.
I'd be like, yeah, normal.
Totally normal.
Of course, every parent hugs them, you know, plays with their kids.
You know, normal, fine.
But this is, I mean, look, look where his fucking hands are.
Like, right up on their rib cage.
Like, on their waist.
It's so unbelievably inappropriate.
Go on.
Just.
It's kind of pissing me off watching it, to be honest.
So I'm going to have to stop because it's infuriatingly gross.
But don't worry, Joe.
Not once have you acted inappropriately.
And you can believe that all you want, but that's not really the common opinion.
And I'll tell you what, I'm surprised.
I mean, it just goes to show you can see the sort of like the movement of forces within the sort of democratic establishment in the United States.
You can see it happening if you pay attention to it for long enough.
Because Joe Biden the other day, he was like, well, you know, maybe, maybe, maybe President Joe.
It's about time for that.
And obviously, Kamala Harris hasn't been happy with this.
Because I bet that this Lucy Flores, I don't know who she is, but I bet she's connected to Kamala Harris because she's the, she's Hillary 2.0.
But instead of just being a woman, she's a woman of color.
So big up those oppression points.
If she transitions now, then she's a shoe-in for it.
Poor old Tulsi, who's my personal favorite waifu, she's not going to get looking, which is a shame because I think she's bloody great.
It's a shame she wants to go against the God Emperor as well because I'm definitely on the Trump train for 2020.
He's going to crush it as he has crushed them all the whole way through.
They have nothing on him.
Just hurt feelings.
And it's glorious.
But anyway, let's see what Joe Biden says to defend himself.
So former Vice President Joe Biden responded for the first time to allegations he made a Nevada politician feel uneasy in 2014 when he kissed her on the back of the head.
Yeah, Joe, it makes me uneasy just reading that sentence.
Saying that he never believed he acted inappropriately.
Don't go on the internet, Joe.
In my many years on the campaign trail and in public life, I have offered countless handshakes, hugs, expressions of affection, comfort, and support, mostly to children, but often to people's wives.
I mean, there was one where he was like caught hugging Hillary Clinton inappropriately.
It's like, ugh.
Why would you want to do that?
Like, you could see him holding on to her.
And she's like, ah, okay.
Okay.
You can let me go now.
It's like, Joe, you really seem to have a weird problem with women, man.
And not once, never did I believe I acted inappropriately.
Oh, God.
You're the guy that the feminists point to.
You're the guy with the institutional power who abuses that power by weirdly touching up women.
You're the guy, Joe.
If it's suggested I did so, I will listen respectfully, but it was never my intention.
Yeah, hmm, hmm, not buying that.
The statement was the first response.
I mean, honestly, right, Joe Biden is the reason that Petergate exists.
Like, you know, all of the stuff from Petergate is completely unproven.
But then you've got Joe Biden just touching people in public.
Women, obviously, a lot and kids.
And it's just like, ah, man.
You know, no matter what you say, that kind of whiff is always going to be around you.
So yeah, I'm not surprised that the Democratic establishment is knocking him out of the running now.
The statement was the first response to the allegations directly from the former vice president.
Previously, they've only been statements from his spokesman, Lucy Flores, former Democratic nominee for Nevada.
Made her feel gross and uneasy.
while he makes me feel gross and uneasy too and confused but does he does he actually give a no just willing to listen He's going to learn.
He's going to know his place as a white man who's also a weird creeper.
I will also remain the strongest advocate I can be for the rights of women.
I'll fight on to build on the work I've done in my career to end violence against women and ensure that women are treated with the equality they deserve.
Well, I didn't see you creeping on any of the boys, Joe.
So, I mean, it seems like you're not being equal.
I will continue to surround myself with trusted women advisors.
Oh, God.
Who's going to take that job?
Who challenged me to see different perspectives other than my own?
And I will continue to speak out on these vitally important issues where there is much more progress to be made in crucial fights that must be waged and won.
Well, isn't that just reassuring?
All of those weird clips where Joe is inappropriately touching children, don't worry about it.
Don't worry, no, he's a champion of women's rights.
Look, look how low.
Oh, my God.
Oh, fucking hell.
Just stop putting your hands on the pelvis of young children, of like pre-pubescent girls, Joe.
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
You fucking weird creeper.
Honestly, I find it really gross.
Oh, yeah.
How can he think this is not weird?
I mean, even like Mike Pence must be around the same age as Joe Biden.
And Mike Pence won't even be in the room alone with a woman.
Let alone do this kind of stuff in public on camera with a woman.
Or with girl.
Look, look at this one.
You see him pinching the fucking girl there?
She moves out of the way.
I'm going to play that back so you can see it again, right?
Watch his hand here.
Since she moves because he pinches her.
It's like, what the fuck are you doing, you freakish old creeper?
Honestly, I just cannot get over how vile Joe Biden is.
And this is just what he does in public.
So, frankly, I'm looking forward to supporting the God Emperor in 2020.
And if you're not, well, I'll enjoy your tears.
So, I'll go through the super chats.
Sorry, I know I've ignored them all because I really want to go through everything first.
Yeah, I know.
Chat, I know.
He is just disgusting, isn't he?
It's just really.
It was so gross to watch.
Right, let me go back to the beginning.
So zip through.
Oh, Christ.
Not on the complaining, obviously.
Thank you, everyone.
Derperphophilus, thank you.
Christian Werti, yeet.
Yeah, I tell you what, definitely need to yeet a few people around here, don't we?
Yeah, you absolutely mad lad.
Well, I hope this was a nice surprise, actually, because, like I said, I don't have the time to record it and edit it all down and stuff like that.
But I can do like, you know, an hour stream like this for you guys.
I think it was fairly easy for me to fairly easy for me to get sorted.
If this is something that you'd like to see me do more often, I'm happy to do it as long as I can find some time.
Now, I won't be able to necessarily do it every Sunday because there are going to be some Sundays where I'm traveling.
So I've been doing a lot of traveling recently.
Later on today, hopefully I'll have my speech at the Brexit betrayal rally that was the day before yesterday.
I felt it went very well.
I actually felt it was definitely one of my strongest.
I feel that my public speaking in front of massive crowds is getting much better and I'm getting a lot more confident with it because I found the trick is just to know what it is you want to say.
And then just don't worry about what the crowd are doing.
And don't look at any one particular person either.
Because then it becomes intimidating.
Just do what you have to do sort of thing.
This week is stupid for the win.
Thanks for the Jedsta.
Keep up the hard work.
Work, brother.
Love from India.
Good luck, man.
Thank you.
And, you know, subscribe to PewDiePie.
Thanks, Campbell.
What is this?
The current year?
Yes.
Ethan Rummy, yes.
Thanks, chat.
Yay, the return of the weekly stupid review.
Well, like I said, I can't promise that it will be weekly, but I will try to do something on a Sunday for you chaps.
Because I've had so many requests, and so many people say, man, I remiss that.
It's like, I know, man.
I enjoy doing it, but it just was a long thing.
So, I mean, if you guys can, if you guys are happy for it to be a live thing like this, then that's way easier for me.
It's going to be a lot less professional, but I mean, at least you'll have something, right?
And I'll have done my part.
My man, you're beautiful and glorious doings.
Thank you.
March 29th, my 22nd birthday.
Fuck you.
God bless you.
Well, happy birthday, Stars over Stone, Brad.
Ooh, what's all this then?
A twiz?
Good to see.
Yeah, like I said, I thought it'd be a nice surprise.
Thanks, Jason.
It's about time you got back into doing these, you beautiful bearded bastard.
Like I said, I can't be sure that I'm going to do every single work, but I will do my best.
And thank you for the three-fiddy cutchuk.
When was the last of this week in Stupid again?
Probably like six months ago or something.
And thank you, Ragnar.
One of my patients died today.
Yesterday, I was about to go drown myself in alcohol.
Probably you better take the beer fund.
Well, Christ, thank you, King Connor, for the very generous donation.
But, like, don't stop me from.
Don't let me stop you from, you know, unwinding.
But obviously, don't drink yourself insensible.
Just got locked out of the house.
I forgot my keys as I walked out the door.
At least I have you, Sargon.
Yes, you do, Ralph.
I'm sorry, I couldn't do more.
And thank you, Elizabeth.
Hey, Sargon, I'm doing analysis Starship Troops at School.
Would you be willing to read it over once I'm done?
I would love to.
Honestly, though, I'm not going to say you can rely on me for time.
I would recommend try the Sargon of Accounts subreddit and see how the chaps in there think.
Try posting it there and get some feedback from those guys.
Because they're undoubtedly going to be knowledgeable and smart.
And you'll probably be able to find some people who are like-minded, who will be able to understand what you're trying to say with it.
In your video yesterday, partly in with Silicon Valley people and actually against this because they distrust tech giants, how do you react to that sentiment?
Well, I completely understand where the sentiment comes from.
I might do a follow-up video to address some of the comments.
And the thing is, it's not that I even disagree.
It's more of we don't want to be like them.
I think my problem is if we go down that road, then we do just become like them.
And then we're just eternal enemies of the platforms on which we rely.
And I think that's not wise.
I would rather have them see us as humans because I think at the moment they just see us as enemies.
And I would rather have them see us as humans and treat us as such.
But I mean, you know, I've always been the optimist.
Thank you, Nolly Noel.
TJ Fitzsimmons.
When do we have to start meme struggling smuggling into the EU?
Will they set up a meme blockade IRL with ships and aircraft?
No fun here, Comrade.
Yes, well, that is the question of the hour, isn't it?
We are going to need you to at least parachute in some memes.
The dankiest you've got.
And it doesn't really matter if they're a bit old because we're not going to have seen them.
So this super chat is to help you pay the Article 13 fines and all the websites you're probably illegally displaying.
Dude, yeah, I know, right?
It's the Article 11 fines for the links.
So, you know, the link tax will get me.
But thanks, Inchief.
And oh shit, son, the OG is back, says D Hammond.
It's finally back.
Well, again, I'll do my best.
Why now, Carl damn it?
I'll make sure that the thing stays up.
You'll be able to watch it later.
Honestly, man, I've missed these so much.
Listen to them while I'm working on my cars.
Thanks, Ruby.
I really appreciate it, man.
And again, I'm sorry.
Shit's been busy, man.
Really busy.
But I've been killing it, I think, recently.
I think I've been doing a really good job.
Watching you since 2015, thanks for your work.
Thank you.
What about Roman reparations to the Bretons?
Good question.
Good question.
Where are my reparations?
I should do a video exposing hope, not hate.
Honestly, I think Tommy actually has done a good job of that.
Hope not hate seem to have a pretty negative reputation these days.
And it's well deserved.
You earned this, Hope, Not Hate, for being such unbelievable lying shit.
And notice, I noticed the other day.
I found they published an article about the Brexit rally.
And it was all the same old, same old, same old.
Nothing new.
Nothing.
It didn't really feel like anything landed.
You know, when they were insulting, it was just like, meh, it was like, yeah, heard this before.
I can't imagine it's changing many minds at this point.
But Mexican Spain to apologize for colonizing Mexico and killing the natives.
The Spanish said law.
What?
No.
Yeah, exactly.
And then an imam in Seville, which is a Spanish city, was like, hey, you need to apologize for defeating the Muslim invasion of Spain.
And I imagine the Spanish were like, fucking, what is going on?
What is all this?
Thanks for all the content.
Can you please ask V to finish playing Resident Evil 2?
I will do.
Also, I gave him 20 bucks to give to you.
Don't let him not pay you.
It's fine.
You can have it, man.
His ancestors are watching.
Remind him, please.
I will send him a gif of a person being impaled on a spike.
And say V soon.
Welcome back this week's stupid.
You ever give up on the UK and move elsewhere?
No, the UK is my home.
I'm an Englishman.
I think I should live in England.
In America, leftists.
America is evil and racist against brown people.
Two seconds later.
Open the borders.
Come to America en masse, brown people.
Yeah, I know.
It's really, really weird, isn't it?
If you genuinely thought that your country was an evil, racist, tyrannical, white supremacist, capitalist patriarchy that literally functioned by oppressing brown people, the last thing you would do is say to brown people, hey, come over here.
It's great.
You wouldn't do it.
You wouldn't.
You say, look, don't.
Just listen.
It's a dangerous place.
Stay in the Congo or South Africa or wherever it is you live.
That's way safer.
Don't come to America.
Yay, this week in Stupid.
What do you think Andy is doing?
I don't know.
I don't know what Andy you're talking about.
Outro Music, I haven't got any prepared.
Sorry.
If we pay the reparations, it needs to come with this.
Your ancestors understand that if they're broke, there's the person who blew the money's fault.
Yes, exactly.
Well, each person signs a contract.
I will not bring this up again on pain of jail or something, and it's nobody else's fault in the future.
We got what we asked for.
We will not ask any more.
That's all I ask.
You bring back this week in Stupid on my birthday.
Man, I'm so glad I've made some of these people's birthdays today.
King Legion, thank you very much.
Sagan has defeated the gun.
Man, I've been working really hard, and do you know how I've been doing it?
I've been doing exercise.
I've got a running machine.
I've been using that as often as I can.
But one of the problems with traveling is that often it's quite difficult to actually exercise.
So what I've been doing is eating salads.
That's right.
Fucking salads.
It's been hell, let me tell you.
And last night, I actually had some Ben and Jerry's ice cream.
So A, I felt bad because Ben and Jerry's because regressive leftists.
But B, I felt bad because I was breaking my diet.
Hang on a second.
sorry about this chat So I think I might have to go.
Apparently, I've been told that we have a Mother's Day meal tonight.
And I think I'm going to have to duck out on these.
And I'm really sorry about it, but I thought...
I mean, I don't know whether my computer hasn't moved the clock forward or something, but I must have got the wrong bloody time.
I'll try and get through a few more of these.
Got literally like five minutes.
Um, so anyway, uh, how is this timeline any different from the plot in Command and Conquer Generals?
I don't think I ever actually played generals.
I think I stopped playing Command and Conquer before they became 3D, so I can't remember off the top of my head.
Um, but I'll look it up.
Uh, have more Sargons, thank you.
Um, division is unity, long live the great bureaucracy.
Exactly.
First, Timpool, now you.
Why am I finding more in common with liberals than I do with some conservatives being conservative, libertarian myself?
It's because the conservatives are kind of cucked at this point, and it's the liberals who are the ones finding their moral center and pushing forward from that, using it as moral impetus.
We have actually got a moral good to demand, whereas the conservatives at this point are basically becoming progressives, at least in my country.
Thanks for your work.
Cheers from Arizona.
Thank you, man.
I know it's security reasons, but any chance of releasing your and Dankula's event location sooner so there's a time to find an accommodation.
Yeah, I think I probably can.
I'll speak to them.
Yeah, for anyone who doesn't know, we've got a live event on April the 17th.
I'll put a link in the description after the stream.
Yeah, we were releasing the location the day before to make sure Antifa don't come down.
But to be honest with you, I don't think they're going to.
They haven't really been very active around us recently.
It seems to be only when we go onto their turf, like in universities, that they get angry.
So I'll see what we can do.
It's going to be a good event as well.
It's going to be a very good event.
Because Commi Corbyn's back up in the polls, so I've had a show prepared for Corbyn.
So now it seems like as good a time as I need to go through it.
Get out of the EU now.
Make it happen.
No excuses.
Yeah, man.
I fucking wish.
I love the 1337 that you sent there, Chad.
Reparations won't work because it would be paid back collectively with the oppression.
But the oppression will differ from person to person.
This will lead to competition in the black community.
Whoever deserves more by proxy, more problems to blame on white people.
Ah, but they will all have signed that this is not white people's problems anymore.
I know it'll destroy them.
It will destroy them.
And it's not because they're black.
It's because they're poor and they're being given stacks of cash that they didn't earn.
Whenever you give someone stacks of cash they didn't earn, it fucking ruins them.
That's the end of it.
That's just the be-all and end-all because they didn't put any effort in because something given has no value.
It's so true.
It is so true.
Wait, do they want us to call black people Afros now?
That seems a bit racist.
Yeah, it does, doesn't it?
Thanks, Billy.
Super chat plug, Meet Bone Express, centrist film podcast on YouTube.
Left doesn't own art.
The name again is Meet Bone Express Podcast.
So go check them out.
May God forever smile on England, you and your family.
Thank you.
Please don't expand and vid on Lord Pearson's stats on the BBC WTO Brexit.
Hard ammunition.
I'll see what I can do.
Don't let anyone bullshit about World of One.
It was triggered by the growing planes of globalism, not nationalism.
Interesting.
Interesting.
Hippity Hoppity.
Europe is Anglo-Property.
Look, I'm just saying that if it was, it'd be governed exactly as badly at this point.
Yeah, I hate to say this, guys.
I'm really going to have to go.
I'm really sorry that I'm not going to be able to go through all of these.
I honestly thought I had time.
I thought I had an hour before I had to leave, but obviously my computer hasn't updated or something.
So big apologies.
So, Scarlock, thank you for the sizable donation.
And if Europe are going to be a superpower, when are they going to go with Russia or the Middle East because the energy supply?
Exactly.
Exactly.
They're going to.
They're absolutely going to.
They know they're going to.
I mean, they're preparing for it.
They want an army.
They want to get all of this.
But they're going to make it worse.
I know you're a boomer.
Please learn about cryptocurrency, preferably Ethereum, so we don't have to give money to Google.
I'll try and figure it out.
I will try and figure it out.
But anyway, in the meantime, well, Christ, we had like 10,000 people watching.
In the meantime, thank you very much for joining me.
I hope you've had a good time.
I hope this is a halfway decent substitute for the pre-recorded ones.
And if you guys enjoyed this, let me know in the comments and I'll see if I can do this on a regular basis because I do feel bad that I stopped.
I really do.
