Protecting Wings in Chaos 00:15:27
	Hello and welcome to the podcast of Lotus Eaters, episode 1336.
	I'm your host, Harry, joined today by Josh.
	Should be podcast to the sleepy heads.
	Blind me.
	Nate, listen, if it like we were talking about being high energy before this, but Nate and I haven't had any coffee yet.
	And I started this off with a massive yawn right before it started.
	So if in case you're wondering, there you go.
	Do you know what won't put you to sleep, though?
	Islander.
	Islander will keep you focused.
	It will keep you full energy.
	It'll keep you virile.
	It'll keep you.
	That's not part of the sales pitch, Josh.
	It works for me.
	I mean, whatever helps, I suppose, you know.
	Better than video games.
	Yeah.
	There are no articles on virility, as far as I'm aware, in the article.
	Maybe in the magazine, maybe the magazine.
	Thank God for that.
	And yet another reason to buy it.
	So buy it now.
	And apart from that, we're going to be talking about the left continually getting worse.
	I mean, is this news?
	I assume this is your segment.
	Poison the well a bit.
	If it's like is that news?
	Oh, don't ignore the first 20 minutes.
	I mean, it's like the sun.
	Yeah, sure, you can skip it if you want.
	It's like the sun rising and setting, you know, it's guaranteed to happen.
	Of course, they're just going to keep getting worse.
	We're going to talk about the never-ending growth of Big Brother watching you.
	And I'm going to be talking about my new favorite YouTube sub-genre, which is welfare ethnography investigations.
	Is that news, Harry?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Yeah, it is actually.
	If you say so.
	I do say so.
	Do you know why I know?
	Because I'm going to be presenting it.
	Speaking of which, time to get on with your segment, then you lazy sod.
	I work very hard, thank you.
	What have I walked into?
	I'm sorry.
	We've got to do it.
	I love the spat.
	I was going to say, it's got that vibe, isn't it?
	Anyway, I'm going to be talking about how the left is getting worse in the United States.
	I know, pinch yourself.
	It is a shock.
	But I think it's still important to understand the nature of how they're getting worse.
	Because it's getting to the point now where it is a matter of public safety.
	And it is something that actually is very serious, even though I might joke around about it.
	I'm worried that things are on a knife edge of spiralling out in tit-for-tat murder, basically.
	Because it's pretty close.
	And what we're going to see here is, you know, Minnesota, Minneapolis in particular, seems to be very, very close to being at a point where people are just forming mobs and trying to kill people that they disagree with politically.
	Which is insane, isn't it?
	Exactly.
	If you're a student of Roman history, that is end of the Republic stuff.
	Although, of course, that's a little bit hyperbolic.
	Should I have brought my beanie on for this one?
	I'm not necessarily suggesting there's going to be a civil war anytime soon, but there could certainly be political violence.
	Which, you know, is that a civil war or not is a debate, which I'm sort of open-minded to.
	But anyway, it all, of course, starts off with ICE going there and doing their job and arresting people who have broken into the country illegally.
	Here is a member of ICE telling off people.
	I think they're actually speaking to a journalist here.
	But let's just hear what he has to say.
	We're here to arrest a child sex offender.
	And you guys are out here honking.
	You get the idea.
	Brilliant.
	That the people who are coming out and protecting these people, they don't mind that, you know, they're sex offenders and terrible people.
	And in fact, if we go to the next one here, here we have Sheriff Grady who says that it says in the writing here at 76, it's actually 74 is what he says.
	Illegals detained in the county have criminal charges.
	So they're protesting about a vast majority of the people being rounded up having already committed crimes and already been criminals.
	It really shouldn't.
	That shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, quite frankly.
	It's baffling that you've got to come out and say that to try and calm people down to be like, look, can we get rid of these problem people?
	I mean, the first crime is them entering the country illegally in the first place.
	Well, that's enough for me.
	Actually, 100% of illegals detained in the country are criminals.
	I agree, but I suppose you could say that 74% have committed subsequent crimes is the most accurate way of putting it, isn't it?
	And what it has resulted in is what looks like, I don't know, a scene from the road, perhaps, or some other dystopian.
	I'm going to try and turn the sound off of this because it's annoying.
	Someone's navigation going off.
	But look at the state of it.
	Have they set a fire in a petrol station?
	It looks like it, although I think the petrol station is abandoned, if that makes feel any better.
	I would hope so.
	What a crap hole.
	I've mentioned before how the way that the American system seems to work is California is awful, therefore everywhere else in the country has to be California.
	Well, like people, there's power, and they've graffited over the petrol station, people's way.
	Well, great populism.
	You don't have a gas station there anymore.
	Ironically, the petrol station no longer providing petrol, therefore no power.
	There's a bit of irony there, isn't there?
	And of course, things have been escalating a little bit further because although the left pretends to be averse to guns, they'd seem to like turning up with them.
	Here is an anti-ICE protester sitting with a firearm here.
	You get the gist of it.
	But it sort of suggests intentions here, doesn't it?
	If you're turning up to protests, which I believe is illegal as well, there that you turn up to a protest with a gun, I can sort of see the appeal of, you know.
	defending yourself if you if you think that there's a genuine risk if there are like for instance that you could say the same thing about Rittenhouse back in 2020 right Yes.
	He showed up to what was a quote-unquote protest with a gun, which is one of the things that people try to use as evidence that he was going out to try to kill people.
	But the thing was, they were riots.
	And he was specifically being asked to help protect a local business.
	These people are going out because they're the ones rioting.
	Yeah.
	Really?
	So they're not really protecting anything other than their own interests.
	And it's not only just people being seen with a gun.
	There is a guy here who was arrested with a gun.
	Here is Homeland Security saying last night during a riot in Minneapolis, a US citizen was arrested for assaulting officers while carrying a firearm.
	The individual showed up to the protest with a gun and a box of ammunition in a bag.
	The individual threatened violence against law enforcement officers while pointing at the bag.
	So the implication being, I will shoot you, basically.
	And obviously...
	A weak moustache as well.
	It does.
	Pathetic.
	They deserve to be mocked.
	That is just terrible.
	Also, chapped lips.
	Take better care of yourself.
	Outrageous.
	So I didn't realise I was that non-queer eye.
	Sorry.
	I know.
	They deserve a little bit of mockery.
	If you've got a shit ash, I mean a crap Tash.
	That requires mockery.
	All right.
	Oh, no, I think it's just that he looked more Mexican than anything, so that's bad news.
	Ooh.
	Shots off.
	I see it.
	I see it.
	So not only are they carrying firearms, but they're going around these crowds beating people up.
	I'm going to turn this off because there is some swearing and I don't want to punish your innocent ears.
	But what's going on here is they chase this guy down and he's on the floor.
	I think because he had a camo jacket, they thought he was right-wing.
	And then eventually a guy comes along.
	He's just like, he's one of ours.
	He's one of ours.
	So they're so desperate to find people that they're beating up their own supporters or protesters, whatever you want to call them, rioters.
	Are it all deranged?
	Seditionists.
	That's super deranged behaviour.
	It is, yeah.
	It's crazy as well to me.
	Like, as you grow older and, you know, of an older generation, you would have been in a fight as a kid, so you understand the danger of violence.
	A lot of these absolute dysgenic losers have never been in a fight, and therefore they don't understand.
	Like some of them obviously do want to do some serious harm, but some of them, I don't think they realize that, you know, a sharp knock to the head could kill you.
	A lot of these people are just LARPing.
	Yeah.
	And the problem with what you were talking about with the escalation was something that I saw following the Rene Good shooting, which I have complicated feelings about because I do think there was some grey area there that I'm not going to try and go over the litigation of what happened.
	But a lot of online right-wingers that I saw talking about it were not talking about it from the perspective of whether he was legally justified to open fire given the situation that he was in.
	You had Matt Walsh and others coming out and saying, actually, intent doesn't matter.
	Basically just shoot her because she was a left-winger.
	And I saw a lot of other people on Twitter coming out with similar sentiments.
	People sharing pictures of her face and going, like, well, she looked like a nagging woman, so she deserved it.
	Basically saying she deserved it because she was left-wing.
	And I don't agree with what she was doing.
	I think she was being stupid.
	She was protecting, you know, child, like, sexual rapist criminals and such.
	But Matt Walsh and all those guys on Twitter aren't going out onto the streets proud boys style to try and defend ICE.
	They're not going out into the streets, proud boys styles to try and meet these violent left-wing protesters where they are.
	They're escalating the tensions without actually really doing anything.
	And left-wingers will see that and go, well, they just want to kill us for being left-wing.
	We better go out and defend ourselves then.
	And they go out and they do this.
	It's tit for tat.
	It is.
	It's a tit-for-tat sort of feedback loop in a sense.
	And what will happen is there'll be a, if it escalates further, there'll be a downward spiral of violence to the point where it's wide.
	There'll be a flashpoint.
	Exactly.
	And you, yeah, you can see that.
	And from these.
	From these as well, you can see how close they've come multiple times to a flashpoint happening.
	And it's only a matter of time, it seems, until that does happen.
	And this spiral of violence happens.
	So it's a matter of time until they go out of their way to assault another ICE agent who opens fire.
	And then maybe if there's a large mob, that escalates.
	Maybe they try and mess with the wrong guy in the middle of the street who's got a concealed carry or something.
	I don't know what the laws are like in Minneapolis.
	He pulls it and then it explodes from there.
	Or maybe they just knock the wrong guy over.
	And unlike this guy, he actually does crack his head on the street, gets brain damage or dies, and then it escalates from there.
	Yeah, very much so.
	And that's part of the reason I'm quite concerned about this in the first place is that things can spiral out of hand.
	And however angry you are, whichever side you are angry at, I don't think it's in America's interest to start a civil war because you've got so many external enemies that you have to be internally strong.
	And of course, there's an argument to say, well, there are people that we can't coexist with, and I'm sympathetic to that.
	However, it's still in your interest to try and solve things civilly because the cost of the violence, I don't think many people are emphasizing this enough, is very heavy once it gets out of control.
	We're lucky, frankly, that all of this is happening.
	If it had to happen in the winter months, this happens in the summer months, it'll explode.
	Because more people will be willing to go out.
	You know, the snow on the side is probably enough to put some people off, isn't it?
	Yeah, people don't want to protest as much when it's cold.
	And here's another one.
	I'm going to mute this as well to say who it is because it's a racket.
	But there's a guy here who's just got an American flag hoodie with the word freedom on, which is enough for him to get accosted by huge crowds of people.
	And to my mind, this guy doesn't look like a white nationalist, but these days you never know.
	But it's to the point where they're accosting people.
	He really does look like a white nationalist, actually.
	That's just, that's mad.
	Yeah, for items of clothing.
	It's like a symbol of allegiance to something that they disagree with, and therefore a mob chases you and forces you to take it off.
	And they were chanting for him to take it off.
	So they know what they're doing.
	And there's no reason for this guy to be harassed.
	I don't know what was going on before this, but I presume it wasn't that severe because they're fixated on the jumper rather than any actions or calling him names especially.
	And then it got to the point where they were just randomly targeting people.
	There were loads of tech workers, they're app developers in a coffee shop having a meeting or something.
	And a bunch of people in the middle of the day started gathering outside thinking that they were ICE.
	Oh my god.
	And they weren't.
	I'm just going to mute this to save your ears.
	But you can see all these weirdos starting milling around outside of this coffee shop.
	You start seeing more and more people turn up as time goes on.
	And they try and explain to them, listen, we're not ICE, we're a tech worker group or whatever.
	They want it, don't they?
	They're baying for people.
	They didn't think that they were ICE in the first place.
	Were they wearing face coverings because it was cold outside or something?
	I'd imagine not inside.
	And also, just from what you can hear them saying behind the camera, it doesn't sound like their mouth is muffled.
	They're quite clear.
	And so I don't think they had their faces covered.
	I think maybe they were clean-cut white guys.
	Although if they're tech workers, that's a minority, yeah, exactly.
	They could have been, I mean...
	Anti-ice agents are now assaulting Indians in the street.
	That'd be an interesting turn of events, wouldn't it?
	So it got to a point.
	Oh, we're not allowed to see this one, but there is a picture.
	Basically, a guy was attacked with a flagpole and got a large laceration behind his ear on his neck.
	Kind of good, really, that we couldn't see it, but you didn't see much in the video, just him walking with a big crowd of people.
	So it did turn to people actually violently hurting people.
	I don't know whether he's going to be permanently scarred from that.
Opportunity to Clamp Down 00:05:16
	I don't know the story behind it.
	However, it was going on.
	So that takes us to this next thing.
	We've talked about this very delicate environment.
	And then Jake Lang, who I've interviewed a few times on Lotus Eaters, he's a former Jan 6 prisoner, decided to go to the steps of Minneapolis City Hall and burn a Koran, which, as you can imagine, didn't go down too well.
	Did they actually do it?
	I don't know.
	I didn't see a video of it because this happened.
	It's also very weirdly dystopian because there's very upbeat music playing in that speaker.
	But he's pretty much surrounded outside of what I presume to be the city hall here by a bunch of leftists.
	This guy, I think, was with the protesters or the rioters or whatever you want to call them.
	But he was saying, listen, we can't hurt this guy.
	So well done to him.
	Yeah, fair play for that guy for having some self-awareness.
	Yeah, and I think that we've got to give props to people who are trying to cool the temperature, even in the face of a large crowd there.
	And you can see as he's going through the crowd, they're all trying to beat him.
	And you can see in a second the state that he was in once he managed to get away.
	So this is him trying to get through the crowd of people.
	There we go.
	Trying to get through the crowd of people.
	I'm going to mute this just for the sake of it.
	But you can see he's walking like he's been seriously hurt, isn't he?
	And he's like stumbling and people are helping him along.
	Oh, there's that same guy with the jumper again there.
	So maybe he was targeted first.
	Oh, yeah, black.
	Lang's got a head injury.
	So I know that it's a provocative thing, and it was probably poor judgment to go to a powder keg place like this and do something like that.
	But at the same time, it doesn't warrant a response of violence.
	See, again, for me, the problem with a lot of this is that people are asking, like Firaz was asking yesterday, are they going to invoke the Insurrection Act?
	There are going to be federal National Guard troops out on the streets to quell these protesters down, these anti-ICE guys who are going out and actually committing violence in the same way that the Insurrection Act was used to send the National Guard on pro-segregation marches in the 1950s and such like that.
	And my answer to this is going to be essentially like, right, Donald Trump did nothing following Charlie Kirk's assassination.
	That was the opportunity to clamp down on these people.
	That was the opportunity when American public opinion was most in favor of action like that.
	The left are always willing to escalate.
	Donald Trump didn't, right?
	Donald Trump didn't do that.
	I have a bad feeling that he is going to continue his tendency for big talk domestically with no action.
	That is what he has done quite often.
	Obviously, we've got ICE going into Minneapolis, but then you've got all of this pushback and not as much federal support as you would hope in a situation like this, especially when, as Firas pointed out yesterday, some of the local state guard are basically posting social media posts about how they'll support the anti-ICE people.
	Like that, that's why there's all of this.
	There is a lot to say that you could invoke the Insurrection Act.
	I don't see him doing it.
	I don't see him as having actually the backbone and willpower domestically to do something like this.
	He'll talk big when it comes to Greenland.
	He'll talk big when it comes to Canada.
	He'll talk big internationally.
	But who is he to be making such huge claims internationally when he's refusing to clamp down and take order of his own cities domestically?
	Well, even if he did, there's also a risk that by sending in the National Guard, it's seen as an extra provocation and it could make things worse.
	And of course, I believe in having legitimate authority restore order.
	But at the same time, you've got to take a somewhat pragmatic approach in that if you send them in and it agitates them to the point where violence escalates further and it can no longer be contained, then that was probably a bad call.
	So it's a difficult judgment call to make, isn't it?
	No matter which way you go.
	But anyway, he carried on, Jake carried on walking to the point where he got bundled into a car.
	And when he got into the car, the protesters caught up with him.
	I don't know why they didn't drive away here.
	They should have.
	I think because the door's still open.
	Yeah.
	Oh, Jesus Christ.
	Just from both sides.
	And he's shouting in the clip.
	I've muted it because it's.
Uncomfortable Traumatic Protests 00:05:44
	I saw this and I didn't know what it was in relation to.
	I was just like, these people are mental.
	What's going on?
	This is.
	I mean.
	Yeah, they need to get a handle on this because this isn't going to end very well.
	It's not going very well, is it, obviously?
	No.
	The rate of escalation is almost exponential.
	What's going to happen next?
	That's the thing.
	You need to get a handle on it.
	And another thing that happened.
	Oh, sorry.
	Another thing that happened was this.
	So there was a church service, and loads of anti-ICE protesters just decided to storm this.
	Isn't this the one, Don Lemon?
	Yes, we'll be getting to him.
	Oh, yes.
	The Lemon himself.
	So they're minding their own business, nothing to do with anything else.
	And they turn up and just disturb it, start shouting about Renee Good.
	It's like, who cares?
	This isn't anything to do with that.
	Yeah, this church specifically told that ICE did clearly.
	And you can just see women and children just getting up and walking out when they come in.
	Just like, yes, this is.
	You don't know what else they're going to do, do you?
	No, well, it's a scary situation to put people in.
	And then here's the Lemon himself talking to one of the organizers, I presume.
	Tell us why you're doing this.
	This is Operation Pullout more of a clandestine operation.
	We show up somewhere that is a key location.
	They don't expect us to come there.
	And then we disrupt business as usual.
	So that's what we're about to go do right now.
	Face out!
	Well done.
	You disturbed church.
	Congratulations.
	It's going to just poison people against you because it makes you look like a lunatic just targeting people who are uninvolved in any of it.
	People there with their families and children.
	That's unhinged.
	That's mental.
	Yeah, and then Lemon joins in here and starts questioning the pastor.
	I don't know whether it's a priest or pastor.
	I don't know the denomination of the church.
	But he's here asking him questions about stuff when he was previously in the middle of giving a service.
	And so it seems very, very distasteful at the very least.
	His justification is that he's just doing journalism, as we'll see in a bit.
	But one thing that has been pointed out is that it's a violation of the FACE Act of 1994.
	Intentionally injuring, intimidating, or interfering with or attempting to injure, intimidate, or interfere.
	I think intimidation and interference is undeniable here.
	Any person by force, threat of force, or physical obstruction, again, that seems to have that box ticked, or seeking to exercise the First Amendment right of religious freedom at a place of religious worship.
	That is...
	It's pretty cut and dry there, isn't it?
	It is.
	It is, yeah.
	That's a pretty easy case, and I think that that's going forward as far as I'm aware.
	And the people who targeted it are pretty easy to know who they were because they all tagged each other on Facebook celebrating this stupid.
	And before you think, okay, well, Don Lemon was a journalist.
	He was just doing journalist things.
	Maybe he was just going along with a pre-planned protest.
	Listen to what he says to justify the protest.
	Watch this guy here.
	Look, he's hugging us good.
	And, you know, I imagine it's uncomfortable and traumatic for the people here.
	But again, careful.
	It's very slippery right here.
	It's uncomfortable and traumatic for the people here, but that's what really.
	Careful, please.
	Really slippery.
	Not kidding.
	That's what protesting is about.
	And so.
	Is it?
	Making it traumatic for just your average Joe people, not related to anything Yeah, I mean, you could explain.
	It was MLK Day yesterday, and people say that MLK was like this big non-violence guy.
	And yeah, in some of his rhetoric, he promoted that.
	But if you actually read stuff he wrote, like Letter in Birmingham Jail, he's absolutely clear that protesting is about making people's lives worse.
	Make people's lives worse until we get what we want.
	And when you are using state-backed violence to get what you want, as was the case with MLK, you can't really say that you're non-violent when your whole point is we're going to make your lives worse until the government decides to pass legislation that means that we can steal from you legally.
	Like marathon terrorism.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Whereas, you know, like Al-Qaeda and Stefano do sprint terrorism, just like one singular act.
	These guys just prolonged marathon running.
	So after all of the blowback against Don Lemon, he tried to justify it by, like, listen, I'm a journalist.
	The MAGA administration and the fake news MAGAs are losing their mind over something that's not even true.
	So let me just make it clear.
	Is this an assistant attorney general?
	I don't know.
	That's something Hammett.
	Going or whatever.
	So I have no affiliation to that organization.
	I didn't even know they were going to this church until we followed them there.
	We were there chronicling protests.
Somalis and Journalistic Disruption 00:07:06
	Once the protest started in the church, we did an act of journalism, which was report on it and talk to the people who were involved, which included the pastor, members of the church, and members of the organization.
	So there's a couple of problems with this.
	The first of which is you did sort of join in by going in there and putting a camera and a microphone in front of his face, which did, you know, provably disrupt what he was doing, obviously.
	As well as the fact that you expressed sympathies with the protesters because you're talking about, well, they're meant to be making people uncomfortable, including, you know, women and children, apparently, that had to leave because of them turning up.
	And so it's a bit of a difficult thing to say, well, I was just doing a journalism when you partook in the thing that was the problem in the first place, in my opinion.
	But there's also other stuff as well.
	Here's Nick Sortor.
	He was filming what was going on, and he claims that Somali stole his camera.
	Well done for getting out and chasing him down and trying to confront him.
	I don't know whether he got his camera back.
	I don't think he did.
	I think some people actually joined in and tried to help at least.
	But they got into a car and drove away.
	A nice car at that.
	Interesting how a Somali can afford that.
	Great healthcare.
	Yeah, driving on the pavement as well with him still trying to get into the car.
	Very dangerous.
	Because when your kids are looked after by such efficient and fantastically affordable healthcare, you can afford to just, you know, like work so many great jobs.
	That's true.
	And then he went to the police about it, and then the police said that he's the problem and that it's him that needs to leave.
	That's got shades of the chap who, the Turkish guy burnt the Quran outside the Turkish embassy.
	Oh, yeah.
	They charged him because if he didn't do that, he wouldn't have been attacked with a knife.
	Yeah, it's like, what?
	How is that absurd?
	yeah if you didn't circular logic on crime If you didn't bring expensive things, those Somalis wouldn't have stolen.
	You should have known that those Somalis would have stolen something.
	Have you not seen them raid oil tankers?
	They just can't help it.
	Police officers, basically.
	We all know what Somalis are like.
	You can't blame them.
	Have you seen their IQ scores?
	If only that's policing, but for liberals.
	But the good thing is that not all of the police are following this line because according to this, 24 officers resigned from Minneapolis police and 18 of them have already joined ICE.
	So they're switching sides, the good side.
	And it's good to see more people signing up with that sort of experience as well because I imagine it translates quite well.
	And yeah, I imagine joining ICE is one of the things you can do in the United States to be patriotic, especially when they're under such pressure.
	And, you know, it'd be good to have a large employment base because then you can cycle people off, give them a bit of a break because they're working under high stress and you've got to have a bit of sympathy for them.
	And then the final thing I've included, oh, that's disappeared apparently.
	Well.
	Can you get us back to the other segment, please, Samson?
	I don't know what happened.
	Samson, help, please.
	Share Samson.
	Thank you, Samson.
	So I think I clicked the wrong link.
	Is that right?
	Yes.
	And even before any of these problems existed, They had their own problems in Minnesota anyway, because black African Americans are 8% of the population, but 72% of murders and oh no, it's 66% of murders, sorry, and 72% of the robberies.
	And this might not be just like the quote-unquote African Americans, which are their own group.
	This might be as a result of the massive influx of some of the people.
	Just African people, yeah.
	Yeah.
	That's true, yeah.
	Who are probably more from places like Somalia, probably more likely to engage in criminal activity anyway.
	I wouldn't be surprised.
	There is some variation because some Africans are actually lower crime than African Americans.
	It depends which part of Africa.
	Which part of Africa and which part of America we're talking about.
	But it's entirely possible.
	Yeah.
	Those still aren't great figures.
	And so all of these problems exist on top of a pre-existing problem, presumably.
	Part of it at least.
	Although some of it's probably important as well.
	And none of this is getting addressed.
	No one's even really talking about it.
	And the whole situation seems very, very difficult.
	And obviously, something should have been done far before this to prevent this sort of thing happening in the first place.
	And now any government that has to manage this situation has a very difficult task of avoiding this tit-for-tat exchange of violence that we were talking about and things spiraling downward to the point of no return.
	Yep.
	Remove the pull factors for them.
	Don't let them commit all of this fraud and they don't come here in the first place.
	Don't facilitate and probably help them behind the scenes commit all of this fraud and they don't come here in the first place.
	And then you don't need to worry about all of this stuff.
	That doesn't work, by the way.
	Does it not?
	It doesn't work.
	It does.
	Oh, it didn't work for me, but it wasn't.
	I unplugged it and plugged it back in again.
	If you'd checked, you'd have known.
	This one doesn't work.
	It's necessary, Harry.
	This one doesn't work.
	It's focusing on presenting, thank you.
	And what a fantastic job you did.
	I'll go through some of the rumble rants.
	Oh, it works now.
	Tom Rat, very simple.
	Penalties should be doubled and stacked in crimes against public officials for both what is done to them and what they do to others.
	OPH UK.
	There's a beautiful symmetry to Don Lemon, race beta extraordinaire, being charged under the Klan Act.
	I have heard about that.
	Yes.
	What's going on with this Klan Act?
	is the clan act uh so it was introduced to um target the kkk and their interference with i'm not entirely sure what it was The FBI targeting themselves.
	Yes.
	I assume.
	I'm not entirely sure the actual context.
	I'm not sure if it's people, the KKK targeting worship or just events and organisations more generally.
	I don't know the history of it.
	I'd need an American who's better versed in that sort of thing to explain it to me.
	Fed on Fed violence.
	It may well have been.
	Probably was.
	And he bought them Coffee and Donuts, Harmeep Dylan, DOJ, Civil Rights is on it.
	People have mentioned Harmeet Dylan.
	Don't know who that is.
	I think it was mentioned, it was a.
	It might have been the assistant attorney general or something.
	So take it away.
	All right.
	I thought we would uh, talk about Big Brother, because Big Brother is watching you.
Prophetic Words Resurfacing 00:04:30
	So I want to paint a picture and I want to read some quotes and you can tell me whether this is real life or just a fantasy.
	Yeah, or I sort of shot myself in the foot there.
	They're not quotes.
	I'm just going to read some stuff out.
	You can tell me if it's happening or not, or if it's quotes from a book.
	It's all happening.
	Is my guess spoiler or alert that they're all quotes from a book, but it's prophetic.
	So the party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.
	It was their final, most essential command.
	That's happening, isn't it?
	I recognize the quote.
	That's definitely happening.
	I can think of quite a few things, like the evidence of certain injections having certain effects long before they're available to the public.
	And I read the research, I know for a fact that research existed.
	And then they claimed that there was no research and they were in the dark.
	They had no idea.
	It's not true.
	And if all others accepted the lie which the party imposed, if all records told the same tale, then the lie passed into history and became truth.
	Which goes on to who controls the past controls the future.
	Who controls the present controls the past?
	Which we're seeing demonstrably now anyway when they're trying to say black people were always in England.
	That's just not true, but all right, well done.
	Diversity built Britain.
	No, it didn't, but all right, well done.
	Sloppy seconds, I guess.
	White people built England.
	Just white people, yeah.
	Ah, yeah.
	The English mainly.
	The Scots and the Welsh.
	Somewhat.
	Nice little dunk there.
	That's all right.
	I'm half Scottish.
	I'm half dunking on myself.
	Fair.
	Don't you see the whole aim of News Speak is to narrow the range of thought.
	In the end, we shall make thought crime literally impossible because there will be no words in which to express it.
	Yeah, I can see that.
	And also, I think there is a weird backfire effect here.
	It's not going quite as all well predicted in that words are coming back with a vengeance and people are happier to use certain words that in the past, even some of the more fringe right were like, less so.
	Certain R words have come back.
	Yeah, even the left have had to readapt to that coming back in vogue.
	They've started using it again.
	It's a great word.
	I love it.
	It's very descriptive.
	The tards are in vogue again.
	We always were.
	If the facts say otherwise, the facts must be altered.
	Very similar to the others.
	And all beliefs, habits, tastes, emotions, mental attitudes that characterize our time are really designed to sustain the mystique of the party and prevent the true nature of present-day society from being perceived.
	To be fair, Labour's doing such a bad job in Britain that it's difficult to say this is happening.
	Were they more competent?
	Their attempt, though.
	That's true.
	And also, that's the attempt that the Tories were doing as well, right?
	It's like, we've got to keep this mirage, managerialize everything and keep slamming it in your face.
	Diversity's fine.
	This isn't an issue.
	Blah, blah, blah.
	Don't question it.
	Here's Rishi Sunak's face next to a diversity-built Britain coin.
	To their discredit, they were at least better at this than Labour are.
	Labour can't resist shoving it in people's faces, whereas the Tories were a little bit more sly about it, which in many ways makes it worse.
	That is true.
	That is true.
	And last but not least, Big Brother is watching you.
	I don't have a Big Brother.
	We do now, I'm afraid.
	Oh, damn it.
	You do now.
	That was all well, obviously, from 1984.
	And I just wanted to sort of build up because actually, yeah, although there's some pushback from, you know, the sort of status quo that the establishment is trying to impose, it was very prophetic, actually.
	You know, if you go through this, it is almost as if, you know, members of the WEF, whatever you want to call it, the globalists, use this as some form of manuscript for how they planned to rule everyone.
Big Brother's Aim 00:15:33
	So I just thought I'd set the stage because something is happening in the UK.
	Big Brother is now watching you.
	This is happening.
	And I'm so shocked by what the sort of end goal here is.
	And I want to go through some crime stats and the sort of situation that we're currently in in the UK.
	Because if Big Brother is watching you, what's the aim?
	Like, what's the actual aim?
	Right?
	To control, one would imagine, right?
	Yeah, but yeah, we'll get to that.
	Yeah.
	So crime outcomes in England and Wales, right?
	This is appalling.
	So the UK's crime resolution rate, often measured by the proportion of crimes leading to a charge or summons, has been low and fluctuating with around six to seven percent.
	And that's of which is actually reported as well, remember?
	Six to seven percent of crimes are actually solved.
	Yeah.
	Well, that's a terrible number.
	Well, for victim-based crimes.
	Victim-based.
	So victimless crimes.
	So the most important ones.
	Victimless crimes, presumably, I can't really think of a victimless crime other than maybe, I don't know.
	Hurt words online.
	Yeah, hurty words online, yeah.
	Well, they wouldn't necessarily present it as a victimless crime.
	Yeah.
	So overall charge rate, six to seven percent of recorded crimes resulted in a charge or summons.
	This is all based around sort of 24 to 25 time period.
	Six to seven percent of recorded crimes get a charge.
	I mean, that's mad.
	And what's worse is violent and sexual offences in the year to June 2024, only about 11% of these cases led to a suspect being charged, caught or charged, sorry, with some urban areas even worse than that, 7%.
	In the metro police area.
	Yeah.
	So put another way, if you're a murderer or a rapist, you've got a 93% chance of getting away with it.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	And this is on top of a society like London, for instance, has a reported estimated million CCTV cameras.
	So that's, you know, a tenth of the legal population then.
	It's mad.
	Absolutely mad.
	So from there, obviously, crime's not going very well.
	Well, crime is going very well if you're a criminal.
	But there's a huge backlog, isn't there?
	So of those that do get charged, not a lot is happening with them, right?
	Not a lot is happening with them.
	We've got a huge backlog.
	This backlog is massive.
	It's absolutely massive.
	Well, we've still got a justice system that was designed and purposed for a white British population that isn't prone to committing crime.
	Oh, it's that mythical high trust society, isn't it?
	And there's also probably about 20 to 30 million people lower than the current population.
	Exactly.
	There's a much lower population who are much less likely to commit crime.
	Yep.
	Which probably is part of it.
	Yeah.
	And so this was, this is just BBC article published on the 18th of December.
	More than 79,600 criminal cases are now caught in the court's backlog.
	That's massive.
	That's a huge backlog.
	But you start to build this picture of a completely fundamentally broken system.
	So no one's getting charged, really, effectively.
	No crimes are being resolved.
	And of which, those that are being charged have to wait years to be seen, right?
	And then, even if you do go to court, prisons are running out of space.
	So that's great.
	Brilliant.
	One of the interesting things about this as well is that over the past, well, basically since around 2011, I think it was, there's been a consistent degree of overcrowding.
	There's a graph that the government published, which is basically just a straight line of Different one than the one I'm talking about, but it's relatively similar all the same in that it's not been this massive, incomprehensible spike up where you'd say, okay, well, that's a massive spike, you have to accommodate for it.
	A graph like that of prison population, you should be able to accommodate for that in a functional country.
	Sure, it's going up, but it's not massively.
	Yeah.
	And so one of the things that your society should be able to do is have enough prisons to put the bad people in.
	That's not a big ask.
	That's true.
	That's true.
	All the bad people shouldn't be in the country.
	Is the better option?
	Mass deportations.
	Exactly.
	I do like the sound of that.
	So again, building this sort of picture of a fundamentally broken system.
	I'm getting somewhere with this big brother who's watching your business, or I'm getting somewhere.
	I'm getting somewhere with it.
	And then.
	So this happened.
	This happened recently.
	19th of January, 2026.
	100 arrests following new live facial recognition pilot in Croydon.
	One, that just goes to show how much of a dive Croydon is, what an absolute turd hole that place is.
	But also, one, who voted for facial recognition?
	Who asked for that?
	No one.
	What purpose does this serve?
	Because they've just built the picture that everything's broken.
	Everything's fundamentally just not working, right?
	No one's actually being charged with anything anyway.
	Even if they do get charged, there's a massive backlog in the courts.
	Right?
	And so now you've rolled out facial recognition.
	For what actual purpose?
	What reason?
	Well, there's multiple different ways of looking at this.
	If it were, if I had full confidence that it would only have the faces of criminals loaded into it, and ordinary legal, law-abiding citizens are just another face and it doesn't have like a file that it pulls up and registers your location, which could be integrated into something like this.
	Oh, yeah.
	If it was purely just for the criminals and I had confidence in a government only focusing on that, I would actually support there being facial recognition because it saves people having to remember what a face looks like.
	However, I don't believe that that will be the case and therefore I don't support it because it will be used to watch dissidents or track innocent law-abiding citizens who have not committed crimes.
	And so I think this is obviously a little pilot.
	They're saying, look at it in, look at its results.
	It's arrested 100 people.
	Isn't this a good thing?
	We should expand it more and more.
	And the more architect, you know, the more architecture they create to then introduce further and further measures, it then becomes difficult to reverse because then they say, well, it's already in motion.
	It's already going to happen.
	We've already got the infrastructure.
	Why not use it to help better govern the country?
	And then it's only going to continue from there, I think.
	Well, I mean, if you look at this, like you're saying here, the way it's being presented, it's got 100 arrests, a third were for violence against women and girls, offences such as strangulation and sexual assault.
	Others include recall to prison, burglary, and possession of offensive weapons.
	So they make it all sound great, especially the fact that it's getting burglars because there was a kidnapper that was actually arrested as well.
	Yeah, that's impressive.
	I mean, I agree.
	Burglary is one of those things that if you get burgled in Britain, you might as well not report it really, because they will do nothing.
	It is one of the least, it's one of the crimes that has the least likely chance of anything actually coming of it.
	You will just get burgled and then nothing will happen.
	So that's quite impressive.
	The worry is that when people like Tony Blair are working alongside organizations, large-scale AI tech-based organizations like Oracle to start to bundle everything together.
	I know they've pulled it back right now, or they say they've pulled it back on things like the mandatory digital IDs, but they still say that by 2029, they want to have things like a biometric passport moved fully online.
	The likelihood with that is it's all going to be bundled together into a particular app for convenience that people are going to go along with because it's convenient, which is the exact same ultimately as a digital ID that will then be used to track and log all of your movements and transactions and verify where and when you go.
	And when you combine it with these large AI companies as well, you see a similar thing happening in America with Palantir.
	What these organizations are going to do is create an enormous AI-powered database of its citizens.
	And what it can do with that information and AI is begin to make predictions, recognize patterns of behavior, and with that, it will measure that against, say, indicators for likelihood of dissident action.
	You don't even need to talk about this in the abstract because one thing that I'm thinking about covering tomorrow is that the police are now using AI to predict when people are going to commit crimes in the future.
	What?
	Yeah, I know.
	Where?
	They're using it to apparently it's limited to the thousand most dangerous men, but will it stay limited to the thousand most dangerous men?
	Of course it will.
	It's a trial run.
	Where is this being done?
	I did not know this.
	It's a trial run.
	I think it might be in London.
	I'm not sure.
	It's in the UK.
	It's in the UK.
	That is insane.
	It all gets bundled together for predictive behavior.
	And then with facial recognition, they'll just track you wherever you go.
	And, you know, you've added a new layer to my take then.
	You're welcome.
	So all of this is a long-winded way to get to the whole perspective of if the system currently doesn't work, which it doesn't, right?
	It's designed not to work, I would argue.
	It's designed.
	Yeah, that's my take.
	It's designed not to work.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	It's designed not to work for a very key reason in mind.
	That's the box not working now.
	Oh, son of a fish.
	Jury trials.
	Scrapped.
	Now, that's just a symptom of the whole situation, right?
	So if you've got a system that is fundamentally broken and you're not in any way, shape or form trying to fix it, but you are instituting mechanisms by which to overload it more and more and more.
	It's just a way to justify.
	It's, hey, this is a problem that we've created.
	Here's our solution for the problem we've created.
	So what's the solution?
	Well, we're going to scrap jury trials.
	We're going to do what you've just brand new news for me.
	AI monitoring super criminals.
	Brilliant.
	Great.
	Newspaper this morning.
	Madness.
	Absolute madness.
	So this is just, you know, this is a manufactured situation.
	No one asked for live facial recognition.
	No one wanted that.
	That's, again, a system which can actually process the people that you're arresting, which is great that they are arresting these people.
	I agree.
	But what good is it to arrest people that have had all of these offences if they're not going to be able to attend court for years or go to prison anyway for years?
	It doesn't do anything besides justify further situations such as this.
	Scrapping jury trials, churning it out quicker, being more administrative, more managerial in your process of justice.
	Yeah, it's just another erosion of freedom.
	While sentencing guidelines means that if you are a nonce in Britain and get arrested and charged and sentenced, you're probably going to get suspended sentence anyway.
	That's almost a guarantee these days, to be honest.
	One of the overlooked things about this as well is that by removing the jury, it allows politicians and the executive part of government to have fewer pressure points in the judicial system to influence basically outcomes in a political way.
	Because if they have a jury, there's at least some interests of the general population against their rulers represented to some degree at least.
	Obviously, juries aren't perfect, but if something was universally bad for all citizens, I think they would be against it, right?
	You'd hope so.
	I would hope so.
	No promises with the public as it is.
	But with it just being a judge coming to a judgment and no one else, it's so much easier for them to control because there are fewer nodes, fewer people to control in the first place, and the result is just more power for them.
	Yeah, there's fewer obstacles to the outcome that they want, you know, from the certain landscape.
	So, I mean, this was my cynical brain, basically, because I saw this news of the live facial recognition and I was like, I don't like that, obviously.
	But secondly, I was like, what's the point?
	One, no one voted for it, but what's the actual point when fundamentally the system is so broken?
	Again, it could just be people going, well, we need line to go up.
	It's like, okay, but you still haven't built new prison spaces.
	It wasn't really that relevant, but they've said, you know, the government has said, well, we're going to try and allocate 5,000 new spaces.
	It's like, that's nothing.
	That's going to do actually nothing.
	That's terrible.
	And so all I could think of, well, it's just a way to manufacture more extreme control.
	I can even come up with a more cynical interpretation.
	That's more cynical than that.
	Josh can always find a way to be more cynical.
	Can't wait.
	That's true.
	Fuck it to me.
	It's being done under the auspices of policing, but actually it's for the intelligence agencies to monitor dissidents.
	And if they don't have the capacity to process these new arrests in the first place, they're well aware of that.
	They've talked about it as a public issue.
	Then one can only presume that the expansion of prosecution is for intelligence more than policing.
	It's entirely possible, but we don't know for certain, of course.
	Yeah.
	So Big Brother is watching you.
	Be careful.
	There you go.
	Let's go through a couple of rumble rants.
	OPH again, big brotherization and CCTV deluge have allowed the government to tell itself and their globo-homo internationalist class the fable that they're still in control of UK streets.
	That's all it's for.
	Yeah, I mean, I think we're one of the most watched countries on the planet.
	Yep.
	And yet our crime rate is terrible.
	Do you know that Swindon, where we are based, has the highest density of CCTV cameras of any place in England?
	And I feel so safe walking around.
Why CCTV Doesn't Deter Crime 00:01:38
	Does it actually?
	Yeah.
	And it's a terrible place.
	Why?
	It's like the correlation between CCTV and safety is basically zero.
	It's negative.
	Yeah.
	But they can just watch you get beaten up or actually assault.
	It doesn't really matter, does it?
	Free videos for the elites.
	I mean, that probably is the case, to be fair.
	They see the high crime rates and they go, okay, we'll put more CCTVs where there are high crime rates.
	And then they put the CCTV in and continue to do nothing.
	So that is probably just like, this will solve everything.
	Doesn't solve anything.
	Really?
	Just watches people commit crime instead.
	Right.
	That's a random name saying we won't need more jails.
	And then he says that we need to return to how we used to deal with criminals back in the day.
	I'm quite a fan of that idea.
	Hampsification says I need to start watching Psycho Pass.
	That's good.
	Recommend.
	Yeah, thank you for the recommendation.
	People have already said, but I'll keep that in mind.
	Cranky Texan, the reason they import criminals and don't prosecute these crimes is so that you will walk into the CBDC digital panopticon willingly.
	The left markets it openly.
	You will own nothing and like it.
	Certainly part of it.
	Random name.
	We're in late-staged, feminized soy sciety where, just like those hags in schools, the rulers refuse to punish wrongdoers and instead punish everyone else and especially punish those pointing it out.
Foreign Cow Dung Thumbails 00:15:37
	Yes, it's called an archo.
	Anarcho-tyranny.
	Anarcho-tyranny.
	Yes, I forgot the name of it for a moment there.
	I was about to call it anarcho-syndicalism.
	It's almost like tired.
	I need some coffee.
	I know, right?
	I know.
	If only, if only some office that I worked in had provided non-decaffeinated coffee.
	Oh, you wusses, you don't need coffee to function.
	And anyway, I want you.
	I want archao tyranny.
	You want archao tyranny.
	You want tyranny of the archaeologists.
	I was going to say, is this a Renault Camus book that I've just not heard of or something?
	Anyway, right, so let's talk about my new favourite subject.
	I thought this would be a bit more fun for this one, which is the burgeoning genre of YouTube ethnography.
	Because there's lots of these travel vloggers who go around looking at all kinds of weird stuff.
	A lot of them have started to do kind of investigative journalism of the old-fashioned kind, as they should if they want to use their powers responsibly to try and investigate welfare fraud and other kinds of criminal activities.
	But what I realized a lot of this is, is essentially like this gentleman who's going to be the subject of today's video, Tyler Oliviera, in a video that I believe you covered a few months ago when it first came out.
	The highest brow segment ever.
	Yeah, called Inside India's Poop Throwing Festival.
	What this is, is a form of anthropology.
	It's ethnography.
	It's going to foreign lands and examining foreign peoples and seeing their cultures and how beautiful they can be, my friends.
	I won't play any of this video.
	I think the thumbnail says enough.
	This is the definition of beauty to me.
	I mean, the poop throwing festival is real.
	And despite the fact that it's a quite, if I remember, sacred ritual festival that goes on in this location where it happens.
	They found an idol to an Indian Hindu god in a pile of cow dung, and then all of a sudden it was sacred cow dung and therefore obviously cows were already sacred.
	But now the dung was extra special and it came to them that they had to have this cow poofrowing festival in this very small village, which Tyler decided to subject himself to for your viewing, entertainment and also for the purpose of scientific anthropological study.
	The people must know, of course this got Now, I don't want to.
	He did it so that I don't have to.
	And I thank you for your service there, my friend.
	Look at his look at that.
	Is he wearing gloves?
	Yeah, just his bare hand.
	No, the opening scene of this is him getting hit almost in the mouth with flying cow dung.
	Yeah, so I'm glad that he did it so that I don't have to.
	Thank you, Tyler.
	The problem was that he kind of stepped on a landmine with this because a lot of Indians online he stepped on a bit of a cow pat there.
	There you go.
	A lot of people did not want him talking about this, mostly Indians online because they thought it made their culture look weird and look bad.
	And you find that with a lot of this kind of study, I'll call it, which is when you go in and examine these foreign cultures and see what kind of practices and rituals they actually get up to, it can look very strange.
	It can look very foreign.
	It isn't very flattering on the international stage.
	He wasn't actually that mean about it.
	I've seen the clips from it.
	He's actually very friendly to all of the people.
	And all of the people in the village that do it, outside of the whole, you know, flinging cowpoo at each other, we're all very friendly and accommodating to him.
	Yeah, if you actually watch the video, it isn't as bad as it might seem from the outside.
	Obviously, I'd never go to a cowpooing festival.
	It's one of the last things I do, probably on planet Earth.
	But not the very last.
	So there's a non-zero chance that we can somehow manipulate Josh into going.
	Yeah, it's a bit more appealing than like a festival.
	Yeah, festival where I just get murdered ritualistically.
	It's funny that.
	So this is the offer we need to present to Josh.
	Can I choose neither?
	No.
	Okay, it's either or, mate.
	Sorry.
	Either murder or cowpoo festival.
	Yeah.
	Just get it over with.
	Murder me.
	One or the other.
	Oh, there you go.
	Don't, please don't murder Josh.
	We need him.
	Even though he doesn't even work here.
	But yeah, it makes people look bad and they think it affects their reputation.
	And Tyler goes and does lots of different videos like this.
	And we'll be talking about the most recent one, but I just wanted to give a shout out to his thumbnail game being absolutely hilarious.
	Because you notice he has this repeated format where he's, I exposed scammers in X City.
	I exposed scammers in Tokyo.
	I investigated the murder capital of America.
	I invest fighting scammers in Paris.
	Exposed scammers in Barcelona.
	You didn't read the best part of that title.
	Fart Spray Gun.
	Plus two bodyguards.
	Plus two bodyguards.
	I investigated Murder City, and you'll notice that this guy has a very specific demographic that he chooses for all of these AI-generated thumbnails.
	But damn, if they don't get views, you know, fair play to the guy.
	We could be learning some lessons.
	He wants to get sued as well.
	Look at what he said about the Church of Scientology.
	Yeah, the most evil cult in America, but he got 4.6 million views on it, though.
	And he's willing to talk about basically anything by the looks of it.
	Whereas some of these people, there are certain subjects that they don't want to talk about.
	He is more than willing to go out there and do it.
	And I respect that.
	He also spoke about, like Nick Shirley did, the Minneapolis-Somali situation where you can see him just pointing to them all going into the welfare shop.
	So obviously, AI.
	Yeah, one of my favourites is this one.
	I investigated the drug overdose capital of America, where there are all of these people going into the fentanyl store.
	Wow, when did they introduce those?
	Having never been to America before, I can only assume that you have one of these on every street corner.
	Where are you going, darling?
	Ah, just to the fentanyl store.
	Oh, don't forget to pick some up for the kids.
	Didn't you know that that's where George Floyd's $20 note that was fake got refused from?
	It all makes sense now.
	I don't know how we didn't see it before.
	But I really love this kind of clickbait thumbnail.
	It's just entertaining to me.
	But again, he's actually gone outside of just the pure Somali in Minneapolis situation, and he's put out this promotion for another one where he's doing a similar kind of format to Nick Shirley going around and asking if he can put his kid, his imaginary child, in Somali-owned daycare, except this time he's in Columbus, Ohio.
	So a completely different city in a completely different state where they appear to be doing the exact same scam.
	Making me wonder if there may be some kind of, I don't know, like clandestine NGO or state-backed organization or just back channels on their Tony Blair-provided iPhones that just gives them maybe like an instruction guide or manual on how to set these things up with state paperwork.
	Or this could just be how they are.
	Or it could just be how they are.
	But also, they aren't the smartest.
	That's true.
	Aren't they borderlines?
	Medically retarded, isn't it?
	In IQ-wise, in Somalia?
	Something like that.
	67 average IQ, I think that's off the top of my head.
	To be fair, taking over.
	Clinically, clinically.
	Taking over an oil tanker is not exactly the easiest thing.
	And you know, piracy is there's a threshold there.
	There's ingenuity, there's creativity.
	We're not denying that.
	The Captain Phillips, that film of Tom Hanks, you know that?
	Yeah, yeah.
	There's teamwork involved in that.
	I'm the captain now.
	I am the dickon now.
	Yeah, but you can see, I think, actually, by the looks of it with this one, people criticise Nick Shirley for just going around with like three bodyguards, a camera crew, and very obviously being a guy filming a documentary on all of the fraud going on in Minnesotan daycare centers.
	Oh, sorry, Minneapolis daycare centers, which is probably why some of those people came across so standoffish.
	In this, he seems to actually be a little bit more clandestine about it, where he's hiding his camera and what he's filming, so he actually gets into a few of these places so he can better verify how accurate they are or not.
	Not saying that Nick Shirley wasn't also just showing the obvious fraud that was going on.
	But that's the kind of thing that's been going on.
	But he decided out only two months after the whole India debacle, where he almost decided not to put the video up and then decided to go screw it.
	I will put it up.
	He decided to step on possibly the most dangerous landmine possible when he decided to investigate an upstate New York town, more like a little village, I believe it's called Curious Joel, which he says, invaded by welfare-addicted Jews.
	Why can I hear the Haven Ageela from the sewer grates?
	What's going on?
	I don't know if he played it.
	Let's check a little bit of this little trailer you put on Twitter.
	This is Curious Joel, a village of 44,000 Hasidic Jews in upstate New York that primarily speak Yiddish, have an average of seven kids per family, rely heavily on state assistance and welfare programs like Medicare, SNAP, housing assistance, and tax credits from their many kids.
	How many kids do most people have out here?
	17, 18.
	How do they afford 17, 18 kids?
	They're proud to do what the Torah says, that you need to be multiple and fruitful.
	Wow, how do people afford to have like 10 kids out here?
	The community is based on this.
	Okay, so is it wealthy members of the community give charity?
	Yes.
	Mostly people.
	I don't talk to suspicious persons.
	How am I suspicious?
	Do you study Torah?
	You work for Hamas.
	What do you do for work?
	How do you make money?
	My wife.
	Your wife?
	I'm doing home kids.
	So you get a little bit of the idea of what he's investigating there.
	And like with the Indian village thing as well, if you watch the full video as I have, he's not really as harsh on these guys as the clickbaity trailer might suggest.
	There are some definite benefits to the way of life that these guys are engaged in, given that they're living in a massively homogenous community where basically only members of that community that already exists can live there.
	They have very high trust local community, loads of children, so they're growing.
	I believe one of the figures that he puts out in the documentary is that between the years of 2010 and 2024, their population doubled.
	purely because of how high the birth rate is there.
	But the question is, are they able to do this on the taxpayer's dime?
	Because there are a lot of reports saying that a lot of these people are on welfare.
	A lot of the programs that they engage in in the town themselves are subsidized by the taxpayer.
	So he's going around and he's asking the question, if they're able to have these homogeneous, high trust communities paid for by the American taxpayer, why is it that the state will say persecute the, I believe it's the return to the land movement, which was an attempt to make a whites-only community in America, which has been massively targeted by the American state.
	I mean, if you do that, people will realize that, whoa, why is it so nice?
	Why is this community, this whites-only community with no diversity?
	Why does everything work and everyone trusts each other and leave their doors open at night and everything's clean and tidy?
	Yeah, and how did that happen?
	The thing is, it's not a question of hating other people, wanting to commit violence or wanting hardship to befall other people.
	It's a question of homogenous communities wanting to stick to themselves for love of themselves and all of the benefits that that brings, which you see in this video.
	Although there is one major downside to it, which is for some reason, and this is where, like, this is where the ethnography part comes in, right?
	Because a lot of these people, they don't want to be followed around with cameras, which is fair.
	They don't want people snooping into their affairs.
	The problem is, right?
	You guys are just fascinating.
	Hasidic Jews in particular are like just kind of like fascinating.
	They're interesting guys who walk around in their suits and the big hats and stuff.
	I remember when I was going around Belgium, I'd never seen like people in the full Jewish regalia, and I was fascinated by it.
	Like in a genuine interest, just like, wow, this is so different to my way of life.
	Yeah, growing up near Manchester and visiting there, you see them walking down the street sometimes and they come across as so different and alien that you do get a fascination from it and that's why you know like the European spirit has basically been to point over in the distance and go what dat over there Harry still says that sometimes, exactly and then you go over there and you find out what's over there and then you write it down or, in this case, you film the whole thing and then you put it out so that other people can learn what dat over debt is.
	That's kind of that's the spirit of European exploration right there.
	But yeah, one of the problems that they do have in the community is that for some reason, loads of them are just like it might, just because of how dense the population is in such a small town.
	They're just terrible drivers.
	They're just terrible drivers.
	Oh my god, 500,000.
	Can you give me $2,000?
	I don't have $2,000.
	I would just handle it with an entrance.
	He said he'd only give me $2,000.
	Worst neighborhood to crush your car ever, I imagine.
	Curious Joelle, a community of exclusively Hasidic Jews.
	That's one of the fastest growing towns in New York with possibly some of the worst drivers in America unanimously in favour of it.
	Look this, there's a car sign every five seconds.
	The driving out here is horrendous.
	I've only seen bad drivers, though.
	You know why, because we have so much.
	We have like ten children.
	We're all too busy.
	That's why we were upset by driving.
	We're getting nervous.
	No one can drive out here, What?
	F ⁇ ing idiot in the school bus?
	Oh, what the f?
	What is this driving?
	You're trying to kill us out here.
	You were driving the logistical.
	No, we weren't.
	You need to learn how to drive.
	You're going to get your kids killed near.
	Oh, my God.
	Possibly the most American interaction I've ever seen there.
	People just shouting at each other about their driving from inside their car to a school bus driver.
	The most American thing that I've ever seen in my life outside of a cowboy in a 10-point hat shooting his guns in the air.
	But yeah, if you want to watch the full thing, I'd recommend going and watching the video.
	But I've watched it, and here's some of the notes that I've taken for the general observations.
	Now, first of all, obviously, a great thumbnail.
	Again, obviously, most of the video is him going around trying to figure out what most people actually do in this community because only a very small subset of the population seems to be working.
Income And Poverty Insights 00:15:26
	And you can see some...
	Rap eyes, perhaps?
	He asks a lot of people if they are rabbis, and most of them say no.
	So here are some of the stats that he's going off to look into this investigation to start all of this off and try and answer these questions.
	So he says, 99% of the village's residents are Hasidic Jews, and that's very specifically Hasidic who have their own kind of special culture.
	One of the interesting observations that when he's interviewing people, a lot of them just outright say, despite him being accused of being in Hamas at one point, that they don't support the state of Israel.
	And that's for religious grounds.
	I believe the reason given was that they don't believe that Israel will be reconstituted until the Messiah has arrived.
	And of course, they don't believe that the Messiah has arrived yet, so they see it as an illegitimate state.
	So that's one of the big differences.
	They can primarily speak Yiddish.
	40% of them live below the federal poverty line.
	40 to 60% of them, and this is based on varying reports, but all of them seem to be quite high, are receiving SNAP assistance.
	So that's food aid, where you go to the supermarket and you buy your food with EBT, electronic bank transfers.
	Reports estimate an average of seven children per women, some of the highest fertility rates in the developed world.
	And you saw from some of the interviews he was doing there, it's even higher than that.
	The median age, because there's so many children, is 13 years old.
	Almost all of the children attend private religious schools, which are yeshivas.
	The per capita income is $13,000 per year, extremely low, especially when you consider that it's in New York State.
	Not even like a developed country's average income, is it?
	It's not even close to the average American one.
	Yeah, it's ridiculously low.
	And as a household, if you've only got one or two people working within a household, that's going to be nothing.
	That's going to be pennies.
	Especially when you've got 10 or 15 children to look after as well.
	They're voting as a full block, and it's one of the fastest-growing cities in New York.
	And he says, as a result, they've got extremely high reliance on state-funded social services like Medicaid, housing vouchers, food stamps, cash benefits, and substantial federal aid, especially through its school district, because many of the men focus on religious study, which limits income.
	And when you watch the video and see him going around, you see most of it is just him walking through the streets and asking people, hey, what do you do for a job?
	Now, understandably, that is his opening question.
	So a lot of these people are kind of taken off guard.
	A lot of these people are a bit standoffish because if you're a guy walking around with a cameraman and a microphone, just like you walking, hey, what do you do for a job and how much do you make per year?
	In the middle of the street, you're not always going to be so inclined to answer those questions.
	But he does actually get a few responses from quite a few people that he shows in the video.
	People who don't want to answer, they just walk past him.
	He doesn't, you know, harass them or anything.
	And he can't really get a straight answer from any one individual.
	Most of the men seem to dedicate their daytimes to studying and reading the Torah.
	And there are some business owners, but everyone gives kind of a different answer.
	Now, that might just be because no one off the top of their head knows exactly.
	You know, if I were to go into the street and ask everybody, what does everybody in this town do?
	Not everybody's going to give the same answer.
	But with a really close-knit community like this, you would expect a little bit more certainty and commonality between the answers.
	Most of the women seem to work as well as raise kids, but also there's a question of what jobs they're doing.
	He tries to interview a business owner at one point who owns a jewelry shop and gets threatened with a lawsuit for just being near it.
	Bit of an escalation.
	That's a stereotype and a half, isn't it?
	Somehow, the town is spending and receiving $94 million in relief fund, but there seems to be questions over what they're spending it on, how they're making the claim for deserving that relief fund.
	He doesn't really get a straight answer.
	Relief fund is?
	A kind of federal fund.
	I would assume for people with majorly low income.
	Oh, right, okay.
	The local private schools are receiving a lot of public money through public funding, and that's for the sake of private school busing and other kind of benefits that you get from it.
	And the claims from some of the interviewees are that the local business owners that do exist are paying enough through their taxes and property taxes to cover everything that the community takes back.
	So they're saying it's basically a self-reliant system where all of the money they're taking from the federal and state governments is being paid back.
	Again, there's some major uncertainty with this.
	And the local people and the families do seem to be very dependent on EBT, the SNAP benefits to buy their food.
	And again, there's bad super drivers everywhere.
	The kosher supermarkets and construction are almost entirely staffed by Mexicans.
	Weird partnership, isn't it?
	None of whom live there.
	They just go in there to work.
	Ah, almost like so.
	But here's where some of the positives come through and some of the benefits of living in this kind of homogeneous neighborhood are.
	Despite the fact that 40% of them are living below the federal poverty line, there's basically no violent crime or drug crime or gang activity there.
	Which immediately destroys the whole progressive narrative that poverty causes crime, right?
	Maybe certain communities commit certain kind of crimes, no matter what kind of wealth income they have, and wealth income only kind of causes the changes the severity of it.
	These guys are a complete disapproval of that because if they have 40% below the poverty line, you would expect, given the progressive logic, there to be huge levels of violent and drug crime there.
	Maybe it all emerges in the traffic collisions.
	Maybe that's where they get it all out.
	Yeah, maybe that's what it is.
	There's really great benefits like the local public safety force alongside the police.
	It is funded by the taxpayer, but it is also a great service for those locals.
	They have very communal living.
	They help each other out.
	The local volunteer fire department has a 90-second response time.
	That's very good.
	Yeah.
	They also have a free volunteer car service that responds to anybody breaking down in the town.
	And it's presented all.
	Yeah, they need it.
	But also, it's the case of, say, for instance, if you get a flat tire.
	If you get a flat tire, you don't have a spare.
	You can call that number.
	And this applies to Jews and non-Jews in the town.
	They will just come out and they'll give you a spare tire and fit it for you.
	So there are all of these benefits that come from living in a homogenous town.
	So Tyler's big question is, okay, why can't white people do this?
	And for a few of these people that he gets talking with, he does actually ask this question.
	He says, well, there's this return to the land kind of thing going on in a different state.
	I think it's Arkansas, perhaps, or Oregon.
	So, what do you feel about that?
	You've got all of these great benefits from being able to live in this community.
	Would you support white people being able to do the same thing legally, possibly even supported by the federal government?
	He does not get positive responses.
	I'm not surprised.
	He does not get positive responses from these guys.
	And the one who talks to them a little bit about is like, I don't know about that.
	Ask me on a different day.
	I've got a lot of opinions on that.
	When you would think, given the kind of benefits that they can observe from their own community, it'd just be like, yeah, of course, why not?
	They hate white people.
	Some of them do.
	Some of them have complex feelings.
	I'm not going to tar them all with one big brush.
	But, of course, through this investigation and all of the questions that it has left and drawing attention to this community existing in the very first place, like the Indians with the Pooh Throwing Festival, a lot of people are annoyed at him for having conducted.
	Is he getting called anti-Semitic?
	Yes.
	Oh!
	Of course he is.
	Of course he is.
	He is.
	Even though actually I would say that he kind of goes down the line with the investigation and there are a lot of open threads left unanswered.
	But I mean, he couldn't get straight answers from a lot of these people.
	So you're not going to have definitive answers for it.
	But overall, you know, the people living there, they don't look like bad people.
	They might be engaged in a huge amount of federal tax fraud or benefits fraud.
	But, you know, they're not violent.
	They're not going out and committing drug crimes.
	They're mainly just like doing their weird things in their little weird enclave community, which is one of those interesting things that I find that I find interesting.
	But this guy, for instance, says the Tyler guy tried to pull a Nick Shirley on the lowest hanging fruit.
	Da Jews, his low IQ and barely contained hatred just bled through the whole thing.
	He thought it was a gotcha turned out to be cringe anti-Semitism slop.
	Bro should just learn to be a dentist or a welder because he sucks at the whole YouTube independent journalist thing.
	Actually, I think it's he's doing a great job.
	I mean, he's making more money than you, probably, to be fair with those views.
	Yeah, Tyler, well, I mean, if this guy lives anywhere near that community, he has to be making more money than it.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that's true.
	Good response here.
	His response is just pay for your own shit.
	If a guy can afford to feed your family of 10 without being welfare queens, then I wouldn't have visited.
	Because that is the question here.
	Because I would say the low-hanging fruit are all of the other groups that we've looked at so far engaged in this kind of behavior.
	It's only very recently that these kind of barriers have lifted a little bit through great effort to be able to look into groups like Hasidics fairly and objectively as a distinct group who don't have this like shroud of hysteria around just looking into what kind of behaviors they're all engaging in.
	It's not like he's got some chip on his shoulder and he's targeting them specifically because he's went to India to do an investigation.
	He looked at the Somali daycare fraud.
	And of course they're different groups of people.
	But it's not like he's got some sort of obsession as it's being implied here.
	No, and I think the fair thing is if it's affecting American taxpayers, if you as an American taxpayer, especially if you're a white American taxpayer, meaning that you have the vast majority of the tax burden on your back, if you know that your taxes are going to subsidize a community of like an ethnic religious enclave so that they can just engage in religious study all day and raise 10 children when you can't even afford to barely meet your rent and can never afford to own a house.
	And then also you don't actually get to have children because of those factors.
	I think it's fair to draw attention to this.
	And just marking these guys out and saying, no, no, you're not allowed to talk about these people, that's not fair.
	I wouldn't even say that it's low-hanging fruit.
	I would say it's still very dangerous to talk about this kind of subject in the way that Tyler has.
	And some people have tried to cover for it by saying that, well, these people are sending their kids to private schools.
	And this was something said in the video as well.
	So they're actually saving the government money for the payments that they're going to there.
	In one way, yeah.
	In one way, but also they are still taking out a lot of money.
	We don't know exactly how much money that they're taking out in a lot of these benefits.
	And we don't know how much money is going towards these private school benefits as well, like the private bus school bus stuff.
	Did Grok answer that, Chris?
	Well, it was a bit in there was a bit more engagement down here.
	So, for instance, some people were asking, well, how are they paying for these private schools in the first place when they're all so poor?
	And then it goes to the scholarships funded by donations from wealthier members of the community, community fundraisers, and government aid-like vouchers.
	Again, though, this is interesting because it's all that kind of thing.
	That if we were able to have our own homogenous communities to ourselves where we were encouraged to behave in a more communal thinking way, and the wealthier members didn't think only for themselves but thought for the lower people in the community as well.
	Like, these are all good things.
	If the wealthier members of your community are going to go, you know, I'm going to try and make sure that your kids using my wealth have the best opportunities and the best life.
	That's a very positive thing.
	Well, that's how England used to be.
	So, pre-welfare state, it was predominantly funded by just charitable nature.
	Yeah.
	Like, people just used to be charitable.
	Well, generally speaking.
	It's still the country to this day that donates the largest percentage of our income to charity.
	So that impulse still hasn't disappeared, even with the overwhelming tax burden.
	Yeah, so it's amazing.
	Sorry, it's amazing that people that are effectively just leeches and parasites off of the taxpayer don't realize that a sense of gratitude would go a long way because, well, I mean, mass resentment will quickly build up when people realize they're being taken for a ride, and it's just absurd.
	But yeah, I mean, even with all of that, you've still got government aid-like vouchers, meal programs, transportation subsidies, which is estimated here.
	Again, these are all Grok estimates.
	So take them with a pinch of salt a billion dollars per year in New York.
	And then there's the question, and then it goes on to answer questions.
	I think all of this stuff is kind of not conclusive, inconclusive.
	But, I mean, if you're going to go with the argument of, well, well, I mean, they put in more benefits than they in tax than they take out.
	Well, I mean, again, the massive tax burden in the United States is on the backs of white people, right?
	So how is that not also just an argument that white people taking advantage of the benefit systems are also justified because they're putting in more overall than they're taking out?
	See how this logic extends outwards.
	Allowed to look at them as their own distinct group, aren't they?
	Yeah, it only tends to get applied one way.
	Tyler has his own answer for this, talking about how there's tens of thousands of gender-segregated bus transportation to their private yeshivas, and all of this tends to be subsidized as well.
	And he's basically just saying that you shouldn't get a free ride on the taxpayer's dime, is essentially what he's saying.
	Completely fair point.
	He does say that, you know, the Amish, who are a comparable group here, are not on welfare because their religious values are to rely on themselves and they also don't believe in technology.
	I don't know exactly how accurate that is because I did decide to try and fact check it and look into it and see if the Amish do actually, in a lot of cases, qualify for these benefits.
	But there's a population of roughly 350,000 in America.
	And of that, there was some statistics here that I found that suggested that something like, what's this?
	I think overall it's like 5,400 roughly Amish households in America are receiving snap benefits.
	So that's here.
	So there's still very, very small percentage of the population of the Amish in general.
	But still, just wanted to be absolutely clear with that.
Happy Birthday Joke 00:04:25
	But of course, then you get the targeting.
	Then you get the targeting.
	So he's jokingly put this out.
	There was a Twitter account called Hasidic that put this out where they're saying that they just need to completely ignore him.
	They're organizing as a larger block in their community saying just ignore him if he goes around.
	If you see a person with a camera or a microphone, don't say a word.
	He's just trying to make fun of us and joke about us.
	Again, I think there is actually some taxpayer community investigation going on right here if there's a risk that you're all taking advantage of the taxpayer system.
	He's a so-called YouTuber.
	Did you read that?
	Yes, so-called.
	They're planning on if they see him again, trying to find him and play copyrighted music as loudly as possible wherever he's filming so that he can't use the footage.
	Quite a petty response, isn't it?
	They hate you.
	Here's some Lady Gaga.
	I mean, that would torture me.
	Again, one of the bigger questions is that he's willing to step on this landmine and go where these other people aren't, because he's saying that, you know, there are all of these people who criticize welfare abuse, fraud, or theocratic, ethnic, ethnic enclaves who refuse to touch this particular subject.
	And from a self-preservation perspective, it's completely understandable.
	But if you're going to be completely engaged with your principles, if you're going to apply them all fairly and you're going to say no protected groups, then you can't turn a blind eye to this.
	And again, as well, it goes to show that there are lots of benefits that come with this kind of community-based, homogeneous living that these guys are allowed to engage in.
	But all of a sudden, when it comes to other populations in the US, the founding stock, the white members of the US citizenship, all of a sudden, this kind of thing is completely off of the table.
	These double standards are not good for us, especially when we see the benefits, we see the low crime rates, we see how the people commune together, we see how they live together and how it benefits all of them.
	Why can we not have that ourselves?
	And with that, let's go into the video comments and the rumble rants.
	Do we have any video comments?
	Okay.
	So, Tom Ratt, George Floyd Ferris Atlas Shrugged quote.
	That is why they are doing this.
	Oh, Google Floyd Ferris Atlas Shrugged quote.
	I don't know that one, but I'll take a look at it.
	Busted Brian.
	You all should react to Leafitz Amelia, The Last Rose of Albion over on X if you haven't yet.
	Not hard to find.
	It's only one minute long.
	That's a random name.
	Has sent a few in.
	Alexa, play Kirby Airride Item Bounce Music.
	Studying the Torah is just code for playing Minecraft IRL.
	Oh, God.
	Reaffirms my belief that welfare is a scam that enables the worst possible behaviors.
	Yes.
	Absolutely.
	That is a part of it.
	Came late to the show, says Ryan Hennigan.
	Just wanted to wish myself and Jeffrey Epstein a happy birthday.
	Happy birthday.
	Happy birthday to you.
	No, to you, not to Epstein.
	Although I understand how hard it is to have a shared birthday with the worst people ever.
	Mine is shared with Hassan Pika.
	Oh.
	Yep.
	Let's go with the video comments.
	You know what?
	I really want to shag my toaster.
	Just really want to shag my toaster.
	Right?
	And you think about it, you just can't get it out of your head.
	Well, in real life.
	Oh, the eyebrows.
	Look at your eyebrows.
	Yeah, Carl, you're such a pervert here, man.
	So I've seen some glib remarks made in the past where the idea that it would be better if the Russians won a war over NATO because, you know, they knock all of our woke governments out of power.
	But the problem is that the Russians basically would be just as incentivized to put the gimmick populations in charge over the natives as the other way around.
	Because let's be honest, the gimmicks, all they really need to satiate their abandons is basically give them power over the native population.
Russia's Diverse Experience 00:05:11
	They'll do anything the Russians ask them.
	It's also worth pointing out that Russia is the most diverse European country.
	And they've also got that Asian.
	Yeah, they've got the highest percentage of their population being Islamic as well.
	So they've got experience with this sort of thing.
	I have been asked to mention that for everybody watching right now, U.S. Islander orders are being dispatched this week, and we do apologize for any delay that you may have experienced in receiving those.
	And I'll read some of the top comments here.
	Jan Havi, good morning, lads.
	Good morning to you.
	Just bought my Islander copy, so I'll have a whole collection, except I have a lot of reading to catch up on now.
	But the new one looks great.
	Yeah, it's my favorite design that we've had so far.
	Then Scotty of Swindon as well, there is so much sexual tension between Harry and Josh that if somebody wrote a novel about their secret romance, it would be a new number one bestseller amongst women.
	In unrelated news, subscribe to Wordsmith Productions on Patreon.
	We write stories, no gay romances, but we've got to have something else succeed, guys.
	Please don't send me a copy once you're done.
	Let's go through the comments, eh?
	Sure.
	So Thane Scotty again says they're harassing him because he's wearing a symbol of something they disagree with, the American flag.
	The people are angry in fighting against the American flag always remember that.
	So Baron von Warhook says, these people are just like the Red Guard during Mao's cultural revolution.
	They're moral busybodies that are willing to tear people limb from limb if they think they're attacking someone against their dear leader.
	Harry, you've read Frank DeCotta's book, Cultural Revolution.
	These people will not hesitate to recreate the atrocities of Maoist China if they have the chance.
	That is very true.
	I would argue America's already been through a similar 1960s cultural revolution, tearing down the past and all of the past idols.
	It was just done in a.
	Can I even say it was done in a less overtly violent way when every year in the American 1960s was like had a summer of riots in all of the major cities.
	It wasn't necessarily an explicit genocide.
	Yes.
	Also, we're looking at it from inside and all of the propaganda that comes from being within a propagandized system.
	Whereas with China, we can take a more outsider perspective on it.
	Final one for my segment.
	Ed Miliban harnessing Enoch Spinning Grave says, protest the church, radicalize the moderates.
	Which is a good reference there.
	Yes.
	Do you want to read some of yours?
	Yeah.
	Annie Ma says Democrats in the US and Union Party in the UK want the same thing.
	No penalties for criminals.
	They want society to decay to a point where people will let them do anything to fix it.
	Yeah.
	Create a problem and then sell the solution.
	And the solution is always dystopian nightmare.
	Michael Drebelbis said, What I've often found amusing is that the English government doesn't even hide that they are monitoring you.
	MI5 military intelligence is watching you, its own people.
	Meanwhile, in the US, we just disguise it in a plethora of acronyms.
	Three-letter agencies.
	Yeah, that's true.
	Well, I mean, we get watched and then it doesn't really achieve anything because they're like, oh, he was known to prevent.
	Well done.
	Yeah, I'll read through a couple of mine.
	They went off and murdered everyone.
	So, Rhys Sim, would you rather go to the Pooh Festival or Notting Hill Carnival?
	Well, that's just a quick festival.
	Yeah, I was going to say that is safer.
	That's the question of Josh's same dichotomy.
	Would I rather get murdered or go to the Pooh Festival?
	I don't want to get murdered.
	And to be fair, the Indians at the Pooh Festival all seemed very friendly.
	They were friendly, and also, if they did want to murder me, I know the studies about grip strength, so I think I'll be okay.
	There's also another Rumble chat that's come in.
	I was planning on saving that to last.
	Okay.
	Cumbrian Kulak, Welfare Abuse and Sanity.
	Professor Adam Perkins' book, The Welfare Trait.
	Conscientious is Going Down.
	Less impulse control.
	Two solutions suggested by the professor.
	More targeted welfare to wean people off or sudden end to it.
	Irrespective, the deindustrialization of the West doesn't provide many jobs.
	No welfare, but then what?
	Seems some countries' entire system is dependent on welfare, e.g. Syria and Turkey.
	Perhaps, again, but if an entire community is getting subsidized to have nearly 20 children.
	That's an issue, isn't it?
	But also, why should it?
	I mean, if the US government can either skim the top off of taxpayers' money or print dollars to make it happen, why can't it also be allowed for the productive members of American society as well?
	Because if they're taking more than they're putting in.
	Yeah.
	Sorry, it's exactly because they're the productive members of American society.
	That's why they're not allowed to.
	And finally, Michael Dre Balbis on Harry's segment sounds like the old Borsch Belt in New York.
	Sullivan County in New York was used as a Jewish summer retreat in the mid-60s.
Practice Kindness 00:01:03
	Sullivan County is now practically abandoned and economically depressed.
	That is a shame to hear.
	That's a random name.
	I subscribe to State of Politics.
	State of Politics.
	Do I get an 11-cent discount for Islander?
	No.
	State of Politics, no affiliation.
	Not affiliated.
	Not affiliated.
	And finally, a cruel, with quite a nice pair of quotes here, is the mutual duty of all to practice Christian forbearance, love, and charity toward each other.
	James Madison.
	And also, James Madison, charity is not part of the legislative duty of the government.
	That's right.
	So if there's one message that you can take from this, I think it's pay attention to your community.
	Pay attention to the people closest to you.
	And practice kindness towards them.
	Build your community.
	Practice kindness towards them.
	Trust and love one another.
	Stay out of the sewers.
	Stay out of the sewers.
	Don't do any digging down there.
	You're not going to find anything good.
	That's the best that you can do.
	Thank you very much for joining us today, folks.
	I hope you all have a great rest of your day.
	We'll see you again tomorrow.
