The Idea Of A Free Society...For Kids!
Head to https://bit.ly/teach-freedom for a unique book series that introduces the important ideas that schools no longer teach. Show less
Well, you can expect more insanity coming out of our cities if you live within five square miles of a downtown in the United States.
It is your time to get out.
It's approximately 10:05 p.m. Eastern Time in the United States.
This is another episode of Nightly Offensive.
My guest tonight is Ian Miles Chong.
Let's get down.
My name is Elijah Schaefer, and I'm your top 17 host.
Of course, we are cheering.
We are happy.
We are so excited.
We have our confetti, and of course, our confetti is back in 4D.
We got graphics going on today.
I know that's that's really non-exciting anymore.
You can't really see that popping out.
Today, we got a great subject going on.
We got all our normal topics.
Of course, we're going through the matrix.
We look at the laughing videos, the WTF, the craziness, and of course, stuff that might be a little too spicy on our locals and members only.
Don't forget that this show is brought to you by locals.
So, if you want to join the exclusive locals chat, you don't want all the censorship on major media, and you want to support the show directly, the best thing you can do is go to locals right now, elijahschaefer.locals.com.
It's free to join.
You can also become a member and support the show.
As you know, we face very tough circumstances today.
It's very difficult to get the word out and the truth out without your direct support.
And that's exactly where you can join the community, become an official SOB slightly offensive backer.
My guest today is a cultural commentator and a journalist, Ian Miles Chong.
I mean, you had Ramstein Air Base host drag shows, and they were grilled for it in front of Congress, right?
I mean, multiple air bases have been hosting drag for the past few years.
It's happened under Trump's watch.
He didn't seem to care, but he seems to care now, right?
Even though people were talking about it.
But I mean, and not to get on a tangent about Trump, because I don't think we want to talk too much about Trump, but I mean, him, he's like, he's backing down from the culture war now because he realizes that DeSantis has a better hold of it.
I mean, DeSantis today banned transitions from minors.
That's a big deal.
Why didn't Trump do that?
Why did Trump say that, hey, make a federal policy, don't you know, trans minors, it's child mutilation.
He could have done that.
But now it's like, well, let's not talk about the culture war.
Well, let's jump into that because a lot is going on the front on the Matrix.
And so we're going to talk about some of the insanity in the cities.
Let's get into it South Africa is actually falling apart Their last machine that printed digital IDs has broken down.
And I think we can look at Johannesburg as signaling the collapse for a lot of Western civilization as we break down our past and look towards a very dismal future.
I want to start this out by kind of bringing up the idea of, it's kind of overplayed, but looking at where we're at with the Bud Light wars, because Scott Greer, are you familiar with him?
So Scott Greer got in a bit of a spat with Matt Walsh recently because he was basically saying conservatives continue to lose and they'll keep losing because they think the win is getting Bud Light to lose money.
But the main issues are really, you know, the discrimination against white people and also like the immigration policy at the border.
But the right wing doesn't really focus on those things because they're unpopular.
I mean, my thought is that they are, I mean, obviously they are the crux of the problem.
They are the main issue.
But the right has ceded so much ground to the culture wars to the left in being politically correct and so on that I think it needs to regain ground.
And Bud Light's a great way to do it.
Disney is another way to do it, right?
I mean, Disney has been pushing this woke agenda on to children.
You know, I mean, you had executives that were leaked in a conversation that was on Zoom call, right, that Christopher Ruffo put out last year showing that they're uh that they wanted to add more LGBTQ plus programming to their kids' shows.
And that's what started this whole big push against uh gender ideology and against Disney in general.
So I think that we do, you know, as a member of the right, I would say, we do need to win these institutions back and then get the get everyone in the culture, like in the world maybe, uh, on board with this, right?
Before we tackle the things you can't talk about, so to speak.
Republican Party in 2025 will be calling those people based and red-pilled, right?
We want to get back to tradition.
We want to get back to tradition when we were just a bunch of homosexual people drinking Bud Light in the middle of downtown New York.
I mean, realistically speaking, this is America, right?
This constitutes America where our fight is about a beer company.
And I'm shocked to find that while this is significant and it is important, it is weird that still at the end of the day, as an American, we're just fighting about what companies are doing and about profits.
And we're not really looking at the status quo of the culture and the city and like why this even is able to happen in the first place.
I mean, you've seeded so much ground because, and I think a large part of it is that conservatives simply don't care about culture, right?
You can, you know, talk about, you know, cultural values, conservative values, but at the end of the day, you know, you're watching NASCAR, you're watching NFL.
You know, while NFL is beaming Black Lives Matter to you, you're still watching it.
You need to actually make the boycotts real.
And I think Bud Light, you know, it's a good step.
Stop drinking their beer.
It's a pretty low-cost way of boycotting something.
But it needs to be more than that.
You can't just stop at Bud Light.
It has to be NASCAR.
It has to be NFL.
It has to be the NBA.
Anything that they're using to push onto you and onto your children, you've got to reject it.
You've got to say, no, no means no.
We're not going to pay for your services anymore.
We're going to go our own way.
And when I say our own way, I don't necessarily mean stop watching television, right?
That's just not a solution.
What I do mean is that conservatives need to start creating again.
This wasn't, you know, it wasn't always a desert of content in the 1980s.
A lot of great movies, Conan the Barbarian, Red Dawn, these are conservative movies.
They pushed conservative values.
What happened to those?
I mean, you let Hollywood get taken over by the left and said that culture isn't important.
But I think Breitbart, Andrew Breitbart, the late Andrew Breitbart, said it best.
He said that all politics is downstream from culture and we need to start fighting this.
This is what makes me laugh, though, about the city thing: you realize why cities are collapsing, though, because, you know, I feel so bad that as the argument for the culture war isn't even about saving the cities, it's like we've completely abandoned them to these ugly skyscrapers made of glass and metal buttresses.
But most importantly, it's the out-of-touch nature of the average young progressive millennial.
And I think more than Gen Z, the progressive millennial embodies the problem with the inner city.
And this is the funniest video I think I've seen in a while, because this dude, this progressive dude, is trying to get this homeless guy to like stop being homeless.
And he thinks that the answer to ending homelessness is just giving free housing, like giving more free stuff to homeless.
And I want to remind people that in Australia, you know, they have free universal health care.
It's not, you know, as good as good private health care, even out here.
But the entire healthcare system in Australia cost $32 billion.
And every year they give $40 billion to the Aboriginal community.
And the Aboriginal community has seen no upward progress, has seen no advancement in their culture, in their scientific endeavors.
In fact, they've even regressed, some might say.
And so it's been proven that like giving free stuff doesn't even help a culture because that's not how human nature works.
But listen to how ridiculous this guy is when he's like, he's so dumbfounded.
And I think this is what when I say get out of cities, it's because it brings up the fundamental question of why are cities so dangerous and destructive in the United States.
And it's a three-tier system.
Number one, it's because the people who are in bad situations want to be there.
Nobody understands that there's no such thing as a homeless crisis in the United States.
There is a transient crisis.
These are full-time drug addict, drug abusers, and or street thugs that live a full-time job of freedom.
To them, they're breaking the matrix, right?
I mean, they're Andrew Tates or like Andrew Taints maybe because they want the bottom line of just not having responsibility of a normal nine to five.
And so when you offer them free stuff, I mean, I used to go out to Skid Row in LA and I used to pray over the homeless and I used to see like pretty cool stuff.
I've seen people get healed, et cetera.
But most of the time when I passed out food, people would throw it at me.
They would throw out what they didn't want into the street.
They would ask me for money.
They didn't want food and they would call me names and scream at me with like the beaselbub or whatever was inside them.
And that's crazy.
But number two, it's because the people in the city. are used to it.
They think, well, look at this later in a later segment.
They think that it's normal part of a city is high crime, propensity towards violence and filthiness.
And three, the other part is, is that the government continues to tax the people and all they do is throw money.
And that's what people think is a solution.
It's just throwing more money and more money.
And that continues to be the only solution.
Because unfortunately, I think the solution to actually fixing the inner city is something I don't think anyone is ready to have that conversation yet.
I mean, I'm ready to have that conversation, but not a lot of people are.
But to your point, there is a grift that's currently going on in, you know, when it comes to welfare, right?
For instance, San Francisco and New York City, a lot of organizations have been tasked, given billions of dollars, I think, you know, billions of dollars collectively, to solve the drug crisis, to solve the homelessness crisis.
And what did they do?
They put out ads saying it's okay to be homeless.
It's okay to be addicted to drugs.
This is a good lifestyle.
And so it's in their interest, right, as organizations that make money, that bankroll off of these problems, to continue existing.
They don't want to fix these issues.
They don't want to fix these problems because you fix these problems and suddenly their money dries up.
They no longer serve a purpose.
It's the same thing with the LGBTQ organization.
Stonewall.
You know, before they used to be about gay rights, having gay marriage.
And then when they got everything they wanted, they were like, well, we're kind of useless now.
So what's the next crusade we can take on?
Oh, trans minors.
That's going to be a fight, right?
And it just keeps going and going and going like a treadmill.
No, and I do bring this up, though, with the cities.
I don't know if you saw about this, but they decriminalize drugs in Canada, which was pretty significant, actually, because I think it's under two grams of cocaine and methamphetamine.
So this guy sets up this mobile tiny home, like this mobile home, and begins to sell actual cocaine, crack cocaine.
But I noticed today, as I was looking at the post, it got community noted, which I love community notes.
I get community noted all the time on my jokes because they don't know that to do.
But it says the store no longer exists as the owner has actually been arrested, unsurprisingly, for selling drugs.
And I think what's the most wild part, and I can't even argue with the guy who created this store and say that he's even doing anything wrong because it's like it's in today's.
Well, yeah, and look at this.
So it's that Vancouver police say that they have arrested a man operating a storefront selling illicit drugs, including cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and MDMA.
Drug user advocate Jerry Martin opened the shop based out of mobile trailer Wednesday evening in the city's downtown Eastside.
No, thank you.
In an interview with Global News, he said the drugstore was selling drugs tested for fentanyl in an effort to provide safe supply and reduce overdose.
So obviously he's getting arrested because they didn't legalize the transaction because obviously, like even out here in Australia, I mean, they'll raid you for growing tobacco because it's not about the illicit data.
The only reason why they're legalizing small doses of it is because they can't support the jail community.
And they also have these Soros-funded activist groups, even in Canada, that are basically trying to make petty criminals on the street and terrorize people so that we become accustomed to a decaying society.
But it's not like, dude, you can't go selling drugs on the street.
You know they do it on like on game nights and whatnot.
They love that stuff.
Oh, yeah.
And I want to bring this up.
I have one last story, but I want to first give a huge shout out today to our sponsor from today's show, guys.
So check this out.
If you guys haven't heard already, you know they've been talking about these nicotine-infused toothpicks from Pixetine.
And the reason why I've been talking about them is not only because they taste good, not only because if you're 21 or older, they give you that nicotine buzz, but most importantly, they can be used anywhere at an event, on a plane, on a train.
There's so many restrictions.
Now, a lot of you guys are looking for ways to have alternatives to smoking.
I know people that have used this, number one, to stop smoking pot.
I know people that have stopped smoking and use this instead.
Now, I can't tell you that I'll help you quit, but I can tell you if what you're used to is nicotine and you don't want all the mess and the additives from cigarettes, cigars, from vaporizers, even me, like I've reduced my smoking of cigars down to just several times a week because I'm trying to be a healthier person.
And sometimes you do.
You're just like, hey, man, I just want to have a nicotine buzz and I want to be able to get it an amazing flavor like the mint or the winter fresh or the cinnamon or even traditional tobacco flavor.
Now, these are amazing ways that are a great alternative to the normal ways of chew and they're cleaner and they don't have the smell and they don't bother people around you.
And right now, if you go to pixetine.com slash Elijah, that's p-i-x-o-t-i-in-e.com slash E-L-I-J-A-H, you can get 20% off the entire store.
Make sure you remember you can use these anywhere you want.
They're award-winning product.
Everybody that I know that gets them seems to love them.
So if you like to smoke or you know someone who does smoke that you don't want to be smoking or you just want to get an alternative because you have a new baby around like me and you don't want to be getting all that smoke everywhere, try out nicotine-infused toothpicks if you're 21 or older right now at pixoti.com slash ELIJAH, pixetine.com slash Elijah.
I want to bring this last story up in terms of the decay of cities and what's actually going on that I thought was pretty funny and also sad at the same time.
South Africa to me is a brilliant example of a country that makes political decisions off of what appears to be morally superior, if you know what I'm saying, like to make a decision that seems correct, but then you look at the function of the culture.
And I even want to say this, because I know this is not based, but I want to agree with this.
They make decisions of the way that you wish life worked, and then you actually see the consequences.
And a good example of that is ending apartheid, right?
Nobody wants a society where people seems like a good idea.
Nobody wants this society where in your mind, especially as a believer, as a Christian, or even somebody who loves humans, you don't want to think that certain groups can't get along.
You don't want to believe that.
And South Africa had that split.
When they lowered apartheid, if people know about this, the country has completely gone into chaos and collapsed internally.
They only have electricity part of the day most days.
People are relying on self-sufficient solar and alternative energy.
But even the current anti-apartheid government has admitted that the country worked better when they were together but separate.
That's from their mouth directly.
And it's an interesting conversation to have.
And that's what I meant about the interesting conversations is people don't want to have those conversations because they're difficult.
They touch upon, I mean, they're very politically incorrect, right?
That's the bottom line: is that you say it, and someone's going to call you a racist.
They're going to call you a sexist, a trans folk, whatever.
But I think that if we want to find solutions, we have to address these issues as they are, address them as facts, and get the actual data that's there that people just don't want to confront.
We have to talk about it because if we don't, then the problems just keep happening.
And I want to bring this up because this is a really kind of like addy site.
But South Africa's only driver's license card printing machine has broken down again.
And this comes from the story here that the Department of Transport says South Africa's only driving license card printing machine has broken down and will take two to three weeks to repair.
In a statement on Wednesday, the department said the breakdown occurred after routine maintenance.
The maintenance started on 85th of April and ended on the 19th of April, 2023.
Thereafter, the technical team encountered a technical breakdown, which requires replacement of a critical part from the original equipment manufacturer.
The Department of Sure Driver's License Card Production would not be affected by the routine maintenance, which is already takes so long to get a new driver's license.
Even the United States, they've sort of sped it up recently.
It takes only a couple of weeks now.
Good luck with immigration, by the way, and green cards in the United States.
Do you know if you lose your green card in the United States, it takes nine months to a year to get a replacement, which means you're stuck in the country for a night.
If you lose it or it gets stolen, even if it gets stolen, like if due to the crime in the country, if your wallet gets stolen, you can't leave the country for a year.
Yeah, because I think people get confused about Malaysia and also Indonesia is that yes, there are like islands and there are cities and there are regions that are pretty deteriorated or poor, but it would also be like considering and respectively looking at Australia and looking at Alice Springs or looking at the United States and looking at Skid Row or like Westside.
Yeah, the entirety of Maine is just a crap hole, right?
It's deteriorated.
There's no more fishing industry there.
That's one good example.
Pennsylvania.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know people live there.
In Maine, it's pretty bad.
Fishing industry there has dried up.
You can go to Pennsylvania where all the mining towns have dried up.
There used to be a lot of coal mines there in Pennsylvania, not anymore.
And there was a viral video on Twitter posted by some guy named Fact Checker or something like that where he was saying that all these right-wingers are wrong about cities.
Look at how great cities are and look at this random town in Pennsylvania.
And it's like, hold on a second.
You are literally pointing out a town that was decimated by the death of the coal industry.
So, yeah.
I mean, so it's the same thing here in Malaysia.
I mean, look at most major cities here are, I would say, you know, developed, right?
They are, first world, modern, probably have better amenities than most American cities, to be fair.
And then, you know, obviously they're going to be maybe slightly poorer areas that I've been to.
But even then, they're not really poor though.
The people living there, they're not actually poor.
Well, I feel like even out here where they have high taxes, I still feel like American roads are better than even Australian roads.
I feel like Australian roads suck, to be completely honest.
I feel like America is not.
I feel like it's hard to judge any country that is the size of the United States with the complexities that are in it, right?
Because it's like, you know, when you realize there are about as many people that live in Texas that live in the entire country that I'm in right now, that you start to realize that, you know, it's not the same.
You can't compare.
I mean, you take like three of Australia's largest cities and it's basically the Dallas Metroplex.
I'm just saying, like, it's so, and it's fundamentally like an ethnocentric society.
And a lot of these societies are ethnocentric, meaning they have a common religion, they have a common goal.
Like, it's just like Singapore, where Singapore is more Christian.
Malaysia is, I would say, majority Muslim, but it's multicultural.
And it probably, you know, these two countries, Singapore and Malaysia, are the odd countries out compared to any other country because we're, you know, stable, like 100% stable, no conflicts going on.
But multiculturalism in general doesn't tend to work.
It does work here, but it's only because the multiculturalism started long ago and the British did a pretty damn good job making sure that everybody got their needs met, right?
You can't say the same thing for places in, say, you know, Italy, for example, where, or actually, Italy is not a great example, Sweden, right?
Where you have a sudden influx of immigrants coming in all at once, hundreds of thousands or even millions of them, and expecting them to integrate.
That's just not going to work, right?
So there is a bit of a difference there.
The cultural differences between, say, the Malays, the Chinese, and the Indians are not that vast.
They're all conservative in nature.
They're all irreligious.
So there are commonalities.
There's more things here that make us common versus the things that separate us.
So the things that separate us would be, I don't know, Malays don't celebrate Chinese New Year, or they don't eat pork, right?
It's always these people that, you know, like I was, I always say this: people that try to make a show of this stuff are typically not doing it out of good faith.
They're typically lying because that's like, yeah, if you're trying to make things, if you're trying to bring things, private things publicly, you're trying to like make a spectacle of something, you're 100% a liar.
And Trump knows that.
And he's like, he's like, dude, you're just full of crap.
And I like how he tells the lady, like, what do you mean you wouldn't choose her?
And I think, dude, on the flip side, speaking of interviews, I don't know if you saw this, but Tim Cast had the surfs on.
Now, the surfs is like anybody who just covers drama for a living is like bottom of the barrel human being, which is fine.
And people are okay with that, with that existence.
It sounds, it's a very feminine trait.
But the surface, which is like a very, a very feminine left-wing version of some of the right-wing channels that just covers like e-drama and incites things, was on Tim Cast.
And some of these clips, I don't even know if I should put them in the WTF category or the laugh out loud category, but laugh out loud is good.
Listen to this, he's trying to justify how it's not gay to be with a trans person, which is like, I guess there are some arguments that could be made, but this is one of the most ridiculous things I've, no, I meant like people make arguments, but this is the worst.
Well, that, I don't know what Dave Landau is doing talking about that right there.
That looks like Dave's actually going to be on the show on Wednesday, this next Wednesday.
I have an in-person guest, you guys, too.
By the way, remember, this is an audio-only podcast.
You can get this.
And don't forget that you can get on the locals exclusive chat.
You can be in there.
Get in the community.
Make sure you support the show on locals.
If you're wondering, it's like, you know, your ads aren't exactly your thing and you're trying to figure out how to support a channel that's been targeted or different types of things.
Make sure you support directly to ElijahSchaefer.locals.com because you guys have no idea the kind of support it takes.
And make sure you support our guests today too and follow him.
Because one of the crazy things is this channel is going to be going through a lot of really positive changes over the next six months.
I got all of the pieces in place while I was on break with my kid.
And now we're moving on it.
Like everything's being redesigned by some of the most, like, including like the content we're making.
We're going back out on the streets.
I got people I'm working with.
I'm really excited.
It just some of this stuff takes a lot to get into when you're just on your own.
And I've really, as you guys might understand, have been making it my aim to find actually good people to work with on my team, which is which is really hard to do.
So I will be working on that and make sure you support there because we're going to be having a lot of different types of new guests as well coming on this show because Kez is taking care of the baby and breastfeeding.
It's a little bit hard right now to have her on the show.
And so she's out in the living room.
She's feeding little baby Elijah.
As you know, I just had my first kid.
And so we have so many cool guests coming out.
We have Dave Landau Wednesday.
I have an Australian coming Monday.
I have some girl from Timcast on Friday.
And I have a bunch of people on the following week.
So it's going to be super cool.
But you guys got to support because you got to make the show possible and make it happen.
I do bring it back to the conversation, though, about a woman's penis.
Is that it's I don't understand what like when you see this, like this guy will talk crap, right?
Like he'll go on the internet and he'll tell, you know, be like, oh, dude, you know, you're stupid and you're this and that.
This guy, by the way, also believes that there should be no consequences for killing children in the womb.
I'm not going to get too far into that on this episode.
I don't want to.
Yeah, but it's like, but these people that believe in the in in murdering children up into nine months in the womb, like a fully grown baby, that believe in a woman's penis, these are the people that are in control of the institutions.
These are the people in the cities that tell you it's normal to be attacked.
Violence is normal.
This is a part of society.
And it's like, well, no wonder why our cities are screwed when you have people who believe that there are female penises.
Like that's a wild statement.
And that is very far attached.
That is very far attached from saying, hey, there's a category of human beings called trans people.
And they, you know, might have male appendages, but they express themselves as female.
And so we're going to acknowledge them.
Like, I don't agree with that, but I understand that there's an argument to be made.
And if you guys got to check out some of those episodes, and this is why leftists don't like to go onto shows anymore because they get completely trolled.
A good example of that is Hassan Piker.
I don't like that guy.
He was at like an anti-cloud.
Yeah, he got trolled and he got really butthurt over it.
Watch this.
unidentified
What's going on?
What does doing?
We love landlords.
We're here to protest against the landlords and the unions.
We love them.
We love landlords.
We love landlords.
We love them a lot.
We're all against unions.
They're not fair to the corporate companies.
The more you do that, the more you end up hurting.
Hassan Piker is only popular because he's like a thirst trap progressive that parrots all of the ideas they want to hear but lives out none of the values.
Although he does donate a lot of his money to like progressive causes.
There's this workers' strike going on, if people don't know, Ryder Strike and whatnot in Hollywood.

And as we jump into this, like I thought this, I don't know if this is actually funny, but this is not supposed to be funny.
But I was going to put this originally in the yay section of like of like wins.
But this guy apparently was like on Fox News for saving a deaf woman's life from a train.
And the more I watch this, the more that I believe the woman would have made it.
Okay, let's see if you guys agree with me on this.
Do you agree with me on this?
Watch.
So she's just walking and the train's coming, right?
You're like, this is when they made contact, and that's where the train was.
And he also tackled her.
the modern era if you tackle someone like that it's very possible too that you could end up just hurting them but i do think it's kind of funny because i just feel like i feel like that wasn't really like i saw the article and it was like man saves deaf woman from oncoming training I was like, oh, that's a good story to throw in our celebratory wins for the guys.
And then at the same time, I'm like, what's insane about this is like we're going to see later with some of the stuff in the hmm section.
We'll talk a little bit about the Neely case going on in Subway in the subway system in New York.
It's like, if you grab a woman like this to save her and you knock her down and she gets injured, you go to jail for assault.
China used to be where people would get immediately sued if they try to help someone and that person did survive or they got injured, right?
That's where we saw all these videos of Chinese people behaving psychopathically where they would run over somebody and then run over them again to make sure they won't survive so they don't have to pay the medical bills.
And obviously this pissed off a lot of Chinese people.
They're like, oh my God, you're making us look like psychopaths and we're becoming a psychopathic society.
So China actually did away with some of these laws and made it so that you have to be a good Samaritan.
So now, you know, if you're in China and you say get run over by a car, people will come and help you.
They'll all rush to help you because legally they're obliged to do so.
Unfortunately, in America, where people used to make fun of the Chinese, it's actually regressing and it's becoming more psychopathic because, you know, as we'll point out later in the Neely segment, there is, you know, there's the rewards for people doing good things is basically a lynch mop coming after you.
What you don't want to trust is the jury inside of big cities because jurors inside of big cities are like 21-year-old non-binary girls who shave their head and scream and they sit around and they judge your character and condemn you based upon your attributes of either being a male or being white,
as we saw with the Chauvin trial, even with convicting some of those that are around him, is that it is justice and social justice, not criminal justice, which is a difference, right?
Yeah, it's not about attaching justice for a crime.
It's attaching justice for social harm that they receive.
Well, these next videos are videos that didn't make it into the laugh out loud.
They're things that I don't really know how to explain.
They just leave me saying WTF because they don't fit into any category.
Let's jump into these topics.
Australia is special.
And this is a show with a lot of special needs people.
You have two special needs people on the show right now.
We have Chrome.
Someone wrote me today and they said specifically, they said, Dude, you know, you look like you have something's wrong with your face.
And I said, well, it's called a chromosome disorder plus autism.
So that's what it's called.
But I do appreciate the fact that Australia is coming in hot with this new quote here that a public health warning has been issued in New South Wales following the first recorded case of a viral disease in almost half a year with one group of men particularly at risk of infection.
And we're going to go to Ian.
What do you think this one group of men might be that are particularly?
saw the line for the MPox vaccine in New York when they were giving out vaccines for it.
There was a, you know, I would say that you could tell by the clothing style and also by the clenching of the cheeks to prevent leakage that there was a certain group of people that were overrepresented.
And I mean by overrepresented, meaning the only people in line.
And I, and I never understood during that time, and I think people have brought this up, was during the last virus, you know, that was out, people didn't even want us to go to school.
They didn't want us to go to funerals.
But in this last time, they thought it was going to be discriminatory to even ask people to stop getting in groups and having sex in large groups on a daily basis.
And that's kind of proves the problem with this, this, we're going to start calling this special group of people, as Sky News said.
This video popped up as well of someone from this special MPox group that was finding out the consequences of your lifestyle, right?
I mean, and there are gay people who watch this show, and my uncle is gay.
I have like 10 uncles.
And so there are people out there that are gay.
And if you're going to choose to live that, and I say, I think it's a choice.
And I think there might be factors, you know, like the way your mom raises you, overbearing mothers.
I think, you know, if you get violated as a child, I think that can, you know, cause some issues.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, yeah, I mean, there's a lot of reasons why it could happen, but in the end, it still is a choice.
And I think what a lot of people don't like in today's existence is realizing that there are consequences for the choices you make.
And when you live outside of God's design or you live in like a different alternative lifestyle, there's problems.
And this guy can't seem to understand that being gay means that you're going to have a hard time having kids.
This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen in my entire life.
Watch this.
unidentified
I don't know how people make update vlogs on TikTok because when I turn the camera on, all I want to do is cry.
So update on the surrogacy journey.
I don't know if it's happening anymore.
To be honest with you, I'm ashamed of addressing this or talking about it, but Michael and I did not fully consider the financial aspects of surrogacy before we started.
I don't really know what was in my mind other than like, I'm thinking, oh, we'll get lucky.
It'll be $100,000 or $120,000.
And we are $80,000 in and we just have embryos.
And knowing that there's going to be at least $100,000 or $120,000 or more additional dollars to be put into it.
And I just, I don't like, at this point, we can't do it.
So this has been a pretty serious topic conversation that Michael and I have been having recently.
And it's just kind of, it's so weird because we have embryos.
We're ready to go.
We're ready to find a surrogate.
And at the same time, like we are, we are so far from being ready.
I'm angry at myself.
I'm angry at the situation.
I'm angry with how expensive it is.
I just don't think I've fully processed all the emotions that I'm having about this.
Yeah, they should be taxed more and then give that money to black businesses for reparations.
I mean, that's just straight up racism.
Although nowadays, you know, the definition of racism is power plus privilege.
And in her estimation, black people have no power or privilege, even though this does sound a lot like privilege and she is in a position of power, but it doesn't count because she's not white.
But it is sad to see that because it's sort of the dawn and the collapse of white Western civilization.
And it makes me sad because we're doing it to ourselves.
And with the immigration quotas and with the, you know, discrimination policies against our own people and the denial of our own history and the rejection of our own values and the pushing out of God, it's weird to watch it sort of quickly.
I mean, it's not just like some people will try to make it a holy race issue, but who does this even benefit this wokeness, this equity, right?
You know, everything to do with equity.
It's mediocrity is what it is.
I mean, there's nothing good about it.
They're elevating people who don't know anything, who are not intelligent, and saying that, oh, you're going to get into this position because it's only fair that everybody has a chance.
I mean, you have a chance, yeah, but you should have to prove yourself, right?
That used to be the case.
But now it's like, oh, your skin color is a shade darker than everybody else's.
Well, I like Leon Lush brought up this idea of women working out in the gym.
He said, this is, we'll play the video right now.
He said, this is the equivalent of me working out in a public gym wearing only an ankle sock around my cock and balls.
I'm going to do it for the Graham.
Then I'm going to record someone staring at my taint and shame them on TikTok.
Then I'm going to get Joey swolled.
Then the circle will be complete and I will rest my head on the pillow at night knowing that I've made an impact on the world and there is a seat for me in heaven.
Now, this is, I made a video.
I mean, I made a post recently about why women wear lingerie to the gym.
And obviously there's a mix of guys.
Well, yeah, but this makes the guys like, just let it happen, bro.
And I look, okay, fine.
And a lot, you know, of course, the go-to is like, well, you must be gay if you don't like it.
I said, no, no, no, it's not that I don't see it.
It's just I'm in the gym to focus and I don't understand.
I'm not trying to understand why workout clothes look like lingerie.
And people really don't have to.
It set the Coomers off at a million miles per hour.
I mean, this, I used to be woke, you know, not always woke, right?
But there was a period of time when I was in the entertainment journalism industry.
That's how I would call it, right?
Cover tech, video games, et cetera.
I used to be fat, like morbidly obese.
Like, maybe not morbidly obese, but definitely obese, right?
You can look at the photos of me.
The one that people like to post in my reply sometimes where I'm wearing a pink shirt, like a salmon pick shirt.
I was fat.
I was probably 50 pounds heavier than I am right now.
I mean, right now, I don't think this webcam is doing me too many favors, but I mean, if you watch my regular videos, you look at my, it's actually unedited, my photo that I use for my selfie.
And so I was on the show explaining how I'd gotten it.
And then he popped in.
And he was like, you know, doxing is dangerous because people can, you know, swat you if they have your address.
I'm like, yeah.
And then he goes on this whole tangent and it's just completely made up bullshit about how he got swatted and how his dog got flashbanged.
You know, the story keeps changing, right?
Stories that, oh, he got flashbanged or he got killed.
There was no dog.
Like, and so he completely made up that story.
And I just played along with it because, I mean, it's absurd.
It was just ludicrous.
So I laughed along with it.
And everybody on the show knew, and there's even multiple clips of Ethan saying that, yeah, the dog story is completely made up.
You know, I bear no ill will towards either of them for making the story up.
But, you know, you have people who know this to be the case, and then they just keep spreading it.
And then the left picked up on it.
And that's where, you know, it really took off.
Because, you know, previously it was only, you know, I guess people watched Kill Stream, they made that joke, but then the left picked up on it.
And now, you know, a lot of people think that, oh, I killed a dog.
I swatted someone.
I never swatted anyone, never killed any dog.
And we can even get to the Andy Worski thing.
I used to work with a guy a few years ago.
He went through some period of life that was difficult for him.
And he literally put my family, not my address, but my family's address on his YouTube channel, was talking about hacking my accounts, et cetera, et cetera.
So I called the police on him.
And he didn't even call it a swatting.
I think Keenstar called it a swatting.
And that's where two stories turn into one, where the dog swatting thing literally never happened.
And then you had a real police call that was called a swatting.
And so now people think that I swatted, you know, that I caused a swatting that killed Andy Worski's dog, which, to my knowledge, he doesn't have a dog at all.
Well, I see, I don't care so much, meaning about these kind of questions because this show, like, I don't, this is not a show focused on e-drama, and I don't really, I don't really care.
But the tape thing was about the Andy Worski thing.
When I called the police on him, when he threatened my family, when he literally put my family's address on stream, I called the police on him and I confided in someone I thought was a friend.
And I said, you know, I hope this guy gets killed.
Because, hey, guess what?
I was angry.
And I think anyone in my shoes would have done the same thing.
If someone's harassing your family, you'd probably call the police on them.
You probably want to kill them.
Now, granted, the police didn't kill him.
There was no swatting.
There was no raid or anything like that.
In fact, I think a detective knocked on his door and told him, just knock it off.
Well, yeah, but realistically speaking, because I go, you know, for me, like, vengeance is mine, says the Lord.
And it's not about being weak.
Also, you can always get people back down the line if you need to.
But also, I feel like I've been very convicted recently in my life of like, kind of like when Jesus was crucified on the cross, of like, forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do.
Sometimes people, you know, will attack us, will come against us, and they'll do things that they don't feel remorse over because they're very sad people in their own respect.
And I feel like, you know, the internet is full of very shitty people and very, very, very beyond narcissistic, meaning like they not only do wrong, but they feel right doing it.
And I think that there's a level of where everyone on the internet feels the need to sort of defend themselves and always fight back.
And at a certain point, you got to be like Jesus on the mountain where he was just quiet.
Calling the police is probably the right thing to do, but engaging constantly with the drama that came before and after that, I wouldn't have done that.
I would have not done that because, I mean, for the most part, I've escaped drama, which is good.
People care about the quality of my work.
They care about what I say when it comes to cultural commentary or political commentary.
And these are fields that I think I'm very good at, and that's what people come to me for.
I don't think my audience cares about drama.
If they cared about drama, that'd be a different story, but they don't.
And personally, I don't like engaging in drama.
I don't even like addressing these issues, not because it humiliates me, but I feel like it kind of detracts from what's really important, right?
I mean, what's going on right now is the world's crumbling all around us.
And what are people doing online?
They're participating in drama.
They're calling people out when, in fact, we should be, you know, maybe not necessarily working together, but we should be focused on issues that are actually important to us, right?
And I don't think that, you know, participating in drama, doing call-out culture or whatever, really benefits anyone.
It doesn't benefit me, obviously, which is why I don't like it.
But how does it benefit people who are even watching it, who are following it?
I mean, okay, it's fun to watch, but then it becomes the real housewives of Twitter, right?
That's what it becomes.
And do you really want to be that person who watches the real housewives of Twitter?
I think it's fair to say that you, because that's what I've noticed in you is a bit of a change over the last, you know, six months or so in terms of how you've even handled yourself on online or how you've handled yourself in response.
And I think it's good.
I mean, I always support people who are changing and who are willing to make, you know, or willing to adjust.
And I think that's why I wanted to invite you on the show because despite even past beefs or whatever, it's like, you know, you have to give and acknowledge people from where they're at.
And if someone can look at, like, if you can look at me in the Facebook, yeah, I wish I would have handled that differently or wish I would have handled that.
Whatever.
Well, that's all you can do for the future, right?
Okay, so if you don't know what's going on here, there is a situation going on with a man named Jordan Neely, who was an erratic man inside of the subway in New York that had 40 prior arrests, including some serious battery and assault charges, violent assault on individuals in public and convicted, from my understanding.
They're saying he's a scholar, but he was a career criminal.
And obviously, it doesn't mean you need to die if you're a career criminal.
I'm not making that assumption.
But he also was sort of brought into a position where he was choked out or restrained, I should say, and ended up dying from asphyxiation or something to that regard.
And the only problem was that he was black and the guy who was an ex-barine was white, probably underestimated his own ability to restrain him.
I want to point out another black man was involved in helping restrain him, proving this was not a racist targeting encounter.
But of course, the media doesn't care about the safety of people.
They don't care about the well-being of the people in the subway.
Their AOs from AOC to individuals in terms of the New York government to activists are now trying to paint him just like George Floyd, right?
Who held a gun to a pregnant woman who was caught using counterfeit money, was a porn star.
They're making him another saint, another martyr who was a Michael Jackson, right?
That's what they're saying now.
It was a loving, unhoused Michael Jackson impersonator.
The fact that this got community noted is so funny.
Think about it.
People are so unaware of how common subway attacks are that they need clarification that this is a different attack when it never even suggested it was the same one.
Watch my show, whether you're going to cover this.
Do you know what I'm saying?
Like, isn't it crazy that they had to clarify this is not the same person?
Because everyone thinks that attacks are so rare that this had to be that, like, there's only one guy on the subway that's attacking people.
Yeah, I feel like what's crazy about this is that the fact that it did get community noted, because people are like, well, we need to clarify it's not the same guy.
It's like, bro, there are attacks on the subway on a regular basis.
And you know that what's so weird, though, is this weird bourgeois understanding that rich liberals, like from the majority report here, listen to this girl's explanation where she's basically saying that like to expect a safe transportation system is like not just racism.
It's like bourgeois.
Like it's elitism at its highest degree.
And that's what's so insane to me is that, like they're so okay with inner cities being dangerous that they will guilt trip you into not being, even though it affects black people the most right.
Yeah yeah um, I I was hit at one point sitting on the subway by a man who was having a mental health episode.
He sat next to me and he was elbowing and kind of flailing around and hit me in the face and in my body and I it was jarring right um, the idea that I I would want him to be hurt in any way.
I just didn't want to be near him in that moment because I understood something was going on here.
Every one of us who's taken public transit has had this kind of situation, something similar happen, seeing someone struggling.
That doesn't mean that our fear in that instance and I was a little scared because I my I, I was hit the problem like people that need, but I would, but like my fear is not the primary primary uh, object of like.
What we should be focusing on right now, it's the fact that this person is in pain um, and so like the politics of dehumanization privileges the, the bourgeois kind of concern of people's Like, immediate discomfort in this narrow, narrow instance, as opposed to larger humanity and life.
It's like, it's like they weaponize empathy to the point.
I mean, when I say they, I don't mean women in general.
I mean leftist women.
They weaponize empathy to the point where it becomes impossible to even want personal safety, to expect it.
I mean, this does not happen in any other society.
You try going to Moscow and behaving like that.
You try going to Tokyo, behave like that.
You will be arrested on the spot.
But for some reason, because leftism, this woke mind virus has taken over Western culture, to expect safety on the subway is now considered racist.
It's considered bourgeois.
And if you go over the tenets of white supremacy, which is some document that these critical race theorists wrote, right?
And you can find it pretty easily.
They say that one of the tenets, the core tenets of white supremacy, is the expectation of safety.
And that to expect safety is something that is privileged and that you don't deserve it.
You shouldn't have it.
But they don't address the fact that a vast majority of victims in these situations are not even going to be, you know, people like them, meaning, you know, affluent white people.
It's going to be minorities.
They're the ones who are facing violence every single day.
They have to be the ones who live in these neighborhoods with mentally ill people that bourgeois people like that girl can simply ignore.
They don't walk into these bad parts of town.
They ignore those parts of town.
They'll say, oh, that's a bad part of town.
Let's avoid that part.
She has a privilege to do so, right?
But apparently, if you're a black man and you're a hardworking person and you have a job and you're just a normal human being, then you don't have the privilege for it.
Well, and I think people are like, well, he's a Michael Jackson impersonator, which somehow validates the fact that he's a whole story that he was terrorizing people.
And people are getting sick of it.
But if you even look at back from 10 years ago, there was a thread, which they've locked now on Reddit, which is people were warning about him 10 years ago.
Try to stay away from the Michael Jackson impersonator if you see him.
Used to be all cool dancing to MJ in the subway train, but as of late, he's become a maniac.
Sometime in late spring, early summer, I saw him in the train.
His radio effed up and he was angry as F, cursing and bad-mouthing commuters, screaming, what the F are you looking at?
Don't effing look at me.
Totally didn't expect him to act as such.
Ever since that day, he's just been a scary dude to me.
He doesn't dress up anymore.
No more dancing, just asks for money, occasionally shouting obscenities.
Today, however, was odd.
Sometime in the morning on my way to school, I'm sitting on the bench and out of nowhere I hear someone just going off, cursing up a storm.
It was the MJ dude, and everyone besides this guy was quiet.
Quite.
An MTA crew was there, but did nothing and just let him continue to blow his gasket.
Train arrives, and I just get in the car.
He's not in because I'm sure as F not getting in the same car as him.
Dude didn't even wait until he got inside the train.
I was scared for the people next to him out of fear that someone was going to fall on the tracks.
Just avoid this guy at all costs.
Do not look at him.
Stay safe.
And it's like 10 years ago, they were warning about this guy being a danger.
So for 10 years, he's been harassing and being amazing.
Now he's just like known as this, you know, this belligerent weirdo who just like pushes people onto the tracks.
In fact, that's what he used to do.
He got like, that was one of his charges, pushing people onto the tracks.
It's nuts.
And why is he on the streets?
I mean, you would think that after the first time you've assaulted someone on the train, you'd be confined away.
You'd be locked up.
But not him.
Thanks to this restorative justice that's going on in all these cities.
Guys like him, they're allowed to harass people, allowed to assault people, kill people, even.
And, you know, ironically, right, because they stopped him.
You know, some people are saying the New York City subway is a lot safer if they're dead.
Well, I don't think so because now, because of the lynch mob that's going after the Iron Fist look-alike, the Marine, yeah, look them up, the actors, they look quite alike.
Because of the harassment mob that's going after him, identifying him, I think Nasheed even doxed him.
No one's going to step up anymore.
And then what?
You know, the subway just got a lot more dangerous, and it's the city's fault.
They're encouraging this.
They're not discouraging people like Neely, you know, mentally ill people.
Well, and I think the main argument you can find here, which is why people are, like, I would say this, don't get involved in trying to help people.
They want to live in a city of decay, is this tweet of this girl saying in 2022, I feel visceral disgust towards any man, men who deny an instinct to defend women, right?
And so this is a common feminist playbook.
We need men to defend us, to be there for us.
But during this most recent situation, she is saying this, based on the Marine who tried to defend the families and protect them from someone who was trying to assault them.
Said specifically, you can defend yourself and others if necessary without literally murdering another person in the process.
What the F is wrong with people on here?
And this is the jury of your peers.
These are the people that are the ones that are going to be attacking you because she's like, well, this is why guys fall tricked to it.
It's like, live in a city.
Oh, well, I'll just use self-defense if I need to.
No, because the same girl that called upon you and made you feel like you were a cuck if you didn't defend her is the same girl who suddenly is on a jury voting for you to go to prison for 15 years for manslaughter or like third degree or second degree murder, like with Chauvin Right, where you couldn't even prove that there was intent to murder but they still got him on extremely trumped up charges.
And and it's it's, it's ridiculous and it's incendiary because she says, hey men men, you need to be a defendist.
This is how feminists are, but they'll convict you for defending them.
And it's a ridiculous calm.
So it's like, well don't, just don't be in cities.
You can't even defend yourself in the city.
You will get in trouble, and not only that, you're going to get convicted by the people who asked you to defend them.
I saw a bunch of different threats today where people were, like you know, posting videos of that one, uh black woman harassing uh other women on the train.
She was like punching them, pulling one by the hair, and uh, a lot of people in the comments were like, you know, why isn't anyone stopping this?
There's a lot of men on the train and they're just looking away pretending that it's not happening.
I mean, this is horrifying, and you know a lot of guys like you know conservative men, and I applaud them for this mentality.
They're like, if it was me there, I would have done something.
I would have stepped in and I told them, yo if, if that was you, you'd have a lynch mob after you right now.
They would be calling you a racist because you hurt that woman.
You know you.
In order to stop her, you're going to have to do something, right?
It's not like she's going to stop herself.
You being there is not going to stop her.
You have to physically restrain this mentally ill, crazy person.
So, I mean, it's all well and good to say that, you know, someone should step up, that we need to, you know, police our subways because the police are not willing to do it.
But then, who's going to protect you when you are tried and convicted in the court of public opinion and people say that you're a racist is stepping up?
We're going to take your guys' questions and answers.
We'll talk to you guys right now.
For the rest of you guys, thank you for watching on Rumble.
Well, I'll see you Monday.
I should have a guest named Luke Gard from Australia.
He's in person.
Wednesday, we have Dave Landau.
And then Friday, we have a girl from Timcast.
And the following weeks, we have a bunch of guests coming up too.
We also have some original content that we're producing, such as a video on why young people are turning back to God and a bunch of other stuff going on.
Make sure you follow us, Rumble, YouTube, wherever you can find us, and on all social media as we get jumped, ready to go and not get jumped in the cities.
