Revolution in Nepal.
Young people being told that social media would be banned have revolted, torching parliament, forcing resignation, killing lots of people.
I believe the report right now is around 19 dead.
The numbers probably increased.
There's insane viral video of what is reportedly the wife of a minister burned to death.
It's absolutely insane what we are seeing out of Nepal.
Now, many people have reported communist flags are being torn down.
The government is heavily influenced, though it is a parliamentary republic.
It's controlled by communist political parties with communist agendas.
Videos reported to show a finance minister stripped naked and forced to wade through a river.
It's getting pretty intense.
And again, all because they sought to ban social media, because the media companies, these social media companies, would not suppress key information, what they deem to be miss and disinformation.
Now, some have expected or suspect this could result in some kind of widespread Arab Spring type moment in the region.
I'm not entirely convinced.
Others, Times of India argues, this is a deep state coup.
Now, I don't know.
I'm just some guy on the internet reading the news and looking at pictures.
But I will say this.
I have friends who have already told me that certain people I know know people in Nepal and have worked with people in the region.
And they say, oh, it's going down.
It is happening.
And there is a concern, however, for us that what we see online is still controlled.
And you got to understand that when it comes to the interest of the rules-based economic order, one of the plays is always.
Claim the people are being oppressed, they're fighting against an evil machine, and then show all these videos that make it seem like the whole country is erupting when it may actually be targeted.
I don't think that's the case here.
This looks like it is a genuine revolution, and the prime minister has already resigned.
This is not some run-of-the-mill protest made to look more serious than it is.
Some of the videos of the death and the chaos are shocking.
As many are saying, it's a revolution against communism.
So we got a lot to break down, my friends, as we rip through this story.
There's also some crazy news.
Israel bombing Qatar, targeting Hamas leadership in Doha, which is absolutely nuts.
But we'll talk about this one first.
And then, of course, later on, we'll be getting into the issue of the Irina Zarutska story continues.
And now many people are bringing up the issue of interracial violence in this country and what it means.

But let's get into the breaking news right now and talk about this revolution in Nepal.
Young people rising up and saying no to the manipulation from a communist government who wants to tell them what they can or cannot think.
NPR reports.
Nepal's prime minister resigns after protests against corruption and social media ban.
And Kathmandu.
Nepal's prime minister resigned Tuesday following violent protests against a ban on social media platforms and government corruption.
Khadga Prasad Ali said he was stepping down immediately.
His resignation came after protesters set fire to the homes of some of Nepal's top political leaders in opposition to a social media ban that was lifted early Tuesday, a day after the deadly anti-government protests when police opened fire and killed 19 people.
Local reports and videos shared on social media showed protesters attacking residences of the top political leaders in and around Kathmandu.
A curfew was imposed in the capital and other cities and schools in Kathmandu were closed.
Now, I've got a ton of videos, some of which we can't actually show because they are too graphic.
Take a look at this image of a fire.
Mark Mitchell of Vers Mussen says, are we one hard landing away from an economic populist Zumer uprising?
They just burned the Nepal parliament, forced the prime minister to resign, and burned his wife alive, all while waving One Piece flags.
What?
Wait, for real?
The anime?
Take a look at this video.
Radio Genoa says, in Nepal, citizens capture communist politicians and throw them into the river.
This is insane what we are seeing.
Now, it's not a very deep river.
I believe the man is still able to stand up.
He's crawling.
You can see it's only about a couple feet.
And in some of these videos, they strip the politicians of their clothes.
I believe this might be the guy.
And they force him to march through the water.
We've got more videos, of course.
Check out this one from Radio Genoa.
In Nepal, homes of communist politicians are set on fire.
unidentified
check this out Wow.
tim pool
You know, I'll say a few things.
We've got a lot more to show.
Take a look at this.
This is Parliament.
Ian Miles Chong tweeting Nepal is having total revolution as young people overthrow the communist government following efforts by that government to impose widespread censorship and a total ban on social media.
Take a look at this.
We got this one.
All right.
Let's reload.
X has given us the business.
They've always been like this.
The videos always struggle to play.
Take a look at this.
This is parliament engulfed in flames, thick black and gray smoke choking out the sky.
You can barely see the building.
Thousands of people in the streets.
It takes a lot to get to this point.
Now, this is a video from Visigrad 24.
I can't play it for you.
I can't play it for you.
They say, Raj Yalakshmi Chitrakar, wife of former Nepali prime minister Jalanath Kanal, has died after being set on fire in her home.
She was rushed to the hospital in critical condition, but succumbed to her injuries.
Jalanath Kanal was rescued by the Nepali army before the house was set on fire.
It's just brutal.
Take a look at this.
This one, this is insane.
Nepal's finance minister stripped of clothes.
He's actually fully clothed here.
How do they say stripped of clothes?
And chased into a river by angry protesters during deadly anti-corruption protests.
I want y'all to understand what it takes to get to a point like this in a country and what it means for those that don't want to be involved in that conflict.
I'll tell you, you don't want to live in a place entrenched in violence.
You don't want to live in places that are undergoing civil war and revolution.
You may want a change in your country, but trust me when I say, and I'm not even the foremost expert on these things, you don't want to live there.
You don't want to have to deal with this.
It is terrifying to see things like this.
Now, I will say it like this, okay?
This is the important thing to understand.
It must have gotten so bad that the people chose this violence over the way they were living.
And that's the important thing to understand when I say you don't want to live like this.
A lot of these leftists, these far-left revolutionary cosplayers and LARPers, live-action role play, the moments it actually breaks down, they cry.
They can't stand.
They cannot take it.
And they don't know how to live.
In their minds, it's a movie.
It's a video game.
The revolutionaries storming the Capitol, cheering and celebrating, as now they can have whatever they want.
That's never how it goes.
As hard as it is today, it will only be harder tomorrow in a revolution.
I know I've been mentioning quite a bit, but it really was a great interview, Patrick Beck David, with these 20 anti-capitalists.
And there's one really great moment where he's trying to argue with the woman, but she is just, she's an angry and stupid person.
I'm not saying that to disparage her.
It's a fact.
She is completely stupid.
She is emotional and unable to recognize why she's wrong.
She says she blames millionaire Patrick Bette David for the problems she faces.
And no matter how much he says, he grew up poor and he succeeded through great effort.
She says, I don't care.
I literally don't care.
You don't matter anymore.
She argues that she should just get things for free.
And that's the concern about revolutions.
Is that when you have a large body of angry people, it's not a question of whether they're right in their principal issue.
It's a question of can they organize the system better?
And I'll make this point.
This is not to say that revolution should always be resisted.
That's not correct either.
Sometimes revolution is necessary.
The point is, in situations like this in Nepal, it will only get worse.
That's the understanding.
The question you must ask yourself when you see things like this: is it worth it?
Sometimes the answer is yes.
Sometimes the answer is no.
We've got these videos.
let me show you here's a video from rtc showing more fires and destruction and And of course, then we have this image and, of course, the One Piece flags.
Is that really what that is?
Nepal foreign minister kicked, punched in the face amid violent protest.
The shocking video shows Arzu Diyuba wiping blood from her face, surrounded by protesters, filming her.
Soon after, the clip shows a 63-year-old getting kicked from behind and punched in the face by angry protesters.
It's just getting absolutely nuts.
Here's the story.
Here's where this all begins.
Nepal internet crackdown, part of global trend towards suppressing online freedom.
This is crazy.
Crazy.
Nepal's crackdown on social media companies, which led to protest and police killing at least 19, is part of a years-long decline of internet freedoms around the world, as even democracies seek to curtail online speech.
The Himalayan country's government said last week it was blocking several social media platforms, including Facebook, X, and YouTube, because the companies failed to comply with a requirement that they register with the government.
The ban was lifted Tuesday, a day after the deadly protests.
What's happening in Nepal mirrors the broader pattern of controlling the narrative and controlling the stories emerging from the ground, said Aditya Vashista, an assistant professor of information science at Cornell University.
This has happened several times in the neighboring countries, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh.
So this is nothing new.
In fact, I would say this is taken from the playbook, which is now very established of trying to control social media narratives.
I'll push back with this.
How much?
Or what pop?
I ask you guys, comments, and let me know what you think.
Do you believe this is an organic uprising?
Very well, maybe.
I'm not saying it's not.
Or do you believe that liberal economic order interests are intentionally pushing narratives in these countries to invoke revolution, which would then favor the rules-based economic order, they call it, or the liberal economic order?
That is, Western powers, the U.S. government, NATO, etc.
They want to say it's a broader pattern.
Not just in Nepal, like neighboring countries, Nepal's government has been asking the companies to appoint a liaison in the country.
Officials are calling for laws to monitor social media and ensure both the users and operators are responsible and accountable for what they share.
But the move has been criticized as a tool for censorship and punishing opponents who voice their protests online.
Governments absolutely have a valid interest in seeking to regulate social media platforms.
This is such a daily part of our lives and in our business.
And it is certainly reasonable for authorities to sit down and say we want to develop rules for the road, said Kian Vestainsson, senior research analyst for technology and democracy at the Washington-based nonprofit Freedom House.
But what we see in Nepal is that wholesale blocks as a means of enforcing a set of rules for social media companies results in wildly disproportionate harms.
These measures that were put in place in Nepal cut tens of millions of people off from platforms that they use to express themselves, to conduct daily business, to speak with their families, to go to school, to get healthcare information.
It's not just Nepal.
Freedom House has found that global internet freedom has declined for the 14th consecutive year.
I don't know what that means, to be completely honest, in 2024 as governments crack down on dissent and people face arrest for expressing political, social, or religious views online.
While China consistently tops the list as the world's worst environment for internet freedom, last year Myanmar shared this designation as well.
The organization did not track Nepal.
I'm curious if they'd like to throw the United Kingdom into the mix and they can talk to us about why people who post naughty opinions on social media get arrested in the UK.
Or why an Irish citizen who made posts in the United States and famed comedian Graham Lanahan went to the UK and got arrested upon landing, which is, I warn, possible for each and every one of us Americans who visit the United Kingdom.
You could be arrested right when you arrive.
They're going to say India passed a telecommunications law in 2023 that gave its government broad powers to restrict online communications and intercept communications according to Freedom House.
Three years earlier, a sweeping internet law put digital platforms like Facebook under direct government oversight.
Officials say the rules are needed to quell misinformation and hate speech and to give users more power to flag objectionable content.
But critics cautioned it would lead to censorship in a country where digital freedoms have already been shrinking.
Now, I've got some pretty interesting and strong opinions on this, to be completely honest.
Let me, we've got some time.
What to know about the deadly Gen Z protest over a social media ban and Nepo kids in Nepal.
We are all social media lovers.
Say no to corruption.
We pay you flex enough now.
Our future is not for sale.
Gen Z, I don't know that word says.
I don't speak what I don't know what language they speak.
Nepalese, I have no idea.
Now, many people have pointed out it's a communist government, and it is a parliamentary republic.
However, their parliamentary system is dominated by the Communist Party of Nepal, the unified Marxist-Leninists, and the Communist Party of Nepal Maoist Center.
Not to mention the People's Socialist Party.
You get it.
Now, I've got questions.
The Times of India says, is Nepal unrest organic or deep state regime change?
decoding Ali's ouster.
Now, not like I'm going to trust the Times of India, but I certainly think nuance in the conversation around this is incredibly important because we do know that the United States government does engage in social media psychological operations to manipulate the public of various countries for political gain.
It's not just going in and taking over.
It's not just assassinations.
It's not just on the ground fomenting of revolution like we saw USAID being accused of.
It is the manipulation of narratives through social media algorithms and content for the purpose of creating a government and country that would be favorable to Western powers.
I will say this.
The reason why I lean towards this is probably organic ouster of communists is that USAID has been completely destroyed.
It's been dismantled, defunded, and this is coming now several months after it was already on the rocks.
So I doubt the U.S. has any strong means.
That being said, it's possible these campaigns have existed for years.
And there is, I think, a strong argument for national sovereignty.
Nepal has a right to say, we don't want you disseminating this information in our country.
I think they have that right.
Take a look at what's happening in the United States with TikTok in China.
As much as many people don't want to admit and conservatives are just getting on the bandwagon with Trump, it is a fact.
TikTok bans conservatives, but conservatives get just a tiny morsel.
And for that, they accept it.
Now, call me sour grapes, I suppose.
We've been basically blacklisted from TikTok.
Not only have all our accounts been banned, whenever we make new ones, banned, and when we reach out to people who claim to have ends at TikTok, nope.
They say, no, we're not letting Tim Poole on this platform.
It's not going to happen.
Why?
No reason.
They don't tell us.
We're certainly not any kind of conspiracy company or anything like that.
We are anti-establishment.
Maybe it's because we're anti-woke.
The narrative that you get from Beijing-controlled TikTok in the United States, it boils the brains of Gen Z in this country.
And what would happen if you banned it?
So I take a look at it like this.
The argument that we get in the United States from the pro-TikTok crowd is that it's censorship, it's controlling the narrative, we should be allowed.
And my argument is we should be in control.
I have no problem with TikTok existing, but it should be controlled by U.S. interests.
That is to say, U.S. interests probably will still manipulate the narrative to control population and their views, sure, but at least we have some kind of recourse.
For a country like Nepal, for India, for China, for whoever else, they're saying the United States pushing their narratives on us violates their national sovereignty.
That being said, the United States is substantially better than all these countries.
Our media is better than their countries, and you're more likely to get the truth on our platforms than their platforms.
And there's a lot of evil people that are trying, communists, for instance, to censor the narrative from so their people can't see it.
In this regard, what do I think is really happening?
I think communists control the Nepalese government.
Young people know that the only way they can get access to real information, because communists are going to lie, is through social media.
And so they said no.
But let's read this and see what the argument is.
Frederick Forsyth's icon gave an interesting insight into how the Western-backed powers, that be, elicit regime changes in countries that don't buy into the rules-based international order.
In the book published in 1999, which almost reads like Prophecy Today, an ex-MI6 spy master recruits a former CIA operative to go deep into Russia to destabilize the rise of a powerful Kremlin politician, eerily similar to Vladimir Putin.
In the fictional plot, the plan is to install a czar of all Russia to bring back stability.
A poetic turning of the page from communists getting rid of the Tsars.
Similarly, since abolishing the monarchy in 2008, Nepal has seen a host of leaders of various communist leanings come to power, though purists would argue no true communists would participate in democracy instead of an armed revolution.
Since bidding adieu to the monarch, the country has seen sustained instability with more than 10 prime ministerial changes, but no proper regime change.
The latest Gen Z protests have led many on social media to question whether the uprisings are organic or part of a larger script.
A popular social figure tweeted in late 2024 that Nepal would see protests soon, demanding a return to the monarchy, which would intensify the following year.
The theory was that the unrest was part of a deep state attempt to engineer regime change in South Asia.
Users pointed out that India's neighborhood, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Myanmar, and Nepal, had all seen regime changes in recent years, with one even cheekily calling it the Asia Cup of regime change.
Another popular handle wondered if regime change via street protests was organic.
Some pointed to a viral video of a student in March of 2025 referencing King Birendra's famous quote, Even if I die, shall my country live on.
The speech came in the backdrop of citizens demanding the return of the Hindu monarchy amid political instability, corruption, a cost of living increase, unemployment, and lack of economic development.
Others disagreed.
One pointed out that the Nepalese were increasingly disillusioned with their democratic options and that the social media decision was a trigger.
Skeptics, however, cautioned that linking every South Asia protest from Pakistan, Sri Lanka, to Nepal to spy agencies was nothing more than confirmation bias.
And honestly, I lean in that direction.
Now, look, I'm going to be one of the first to come out and tell you that I can't stand the U.S. regime change machine.
I supported Tulsi in 2020, her principal issue being ending regime change wars.
I don't mind soft power to a certain degree to push our interests for sure.
But if it looks like a duck, it quacks like a duck, and the U.S. is involved in overthrowing a country, I'm going to be the first to say it.
That being said, let's talk about reality.
Aging, communist, Southeast Asian, and South Asian regimes are going to struggle amidst a new generation that wants freedom.
And throughout history, we have seen the failures of communism.
So in Nepal, when you have a communist-dominated government and young people get pissed off, I go, what did you think was going to happen?
Communism does not work and breeds dissent.
And they're trying to implement it slowly through a parliamentary system and gaining ground following only 17 years ago, the fall of monarchy.
So people have in their minds what it's like pre-communism.
As the monarch falls and this system starts shifting towards communism, these people are going to be like, nah.
That's why, in most communist revolutions that we've seen, they were violent takeovers.
The idea that democratic socialists and communists are going to vote their way into power, that's a tough one.
It's possible, but that's a tough one.
They say a NepoKid campaign dominated platforms, exposing how children of politicians flaunted lavish lifestyles, foreign degrees, luxury cars, while ordinary citizens struggled.
Viral TikTok and RedditPost contrasted privilege with poverty, feeding the sense that corruption and nepotism were suffocating opportunity.
I certainly think so.
Take a look at this post.
Vikram Trapathy says, power belongs to the people, not the privileged few politicians.
It's time to kick out politicians who have enjoyed power and people's money for the last 30 years.
And they show this video where you can see this woman with a very fancy watch, probably a Rolex.
They say, the spark came in late August of 25.
Nepal's government abruptly blocked 26 major social platforms.
Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, YouTube, X, Reddit, and more.
And they failed to register with authorities within seven days after.
unidentified
Sorry.
tim pool
Officials claim the directive was to curb misuse of online platforms for hate speech, fake news, and cybercrime.
At midnight on September 4th, Nepal went dark online.
The only major global app left untouched was TikTok, owned by China's ByteDance, which had complied by setting up a local office.
A handful of smaller services, Viber, WeTalk, Nimbus, Popo Live, also remained accessible.
For many young Nepalese, this selective band smacked of censorship.
Now let's get to the nitty-gritty on this.
I'm going to say it again.
I always think it's important to entertain these ideas.
Was it regime change?
I'm going to tell you why, another reason why I don't think it was.
The overt and outright banning of all of these social media platforms probably ended the livelihoods of millions, or at least hundreds of thousands.
Many young people today make money running businesses online in several ways.
For instance, there are a lot of companies that don't make money directly by posting.
They'll post a video on Instagram of them perhaps making a pizza.
And they don't make money by selling ads against their pizza videos.
But people then go to their restaurant.
It's their means of advertising.
You wake up one day in your band and all of a sudden business drops because you can't get the word out anymore.
Some of these young people make direct ad, make money directly through ads.
They'll make videos where they perhaps make pizza.
Shout out to Doe Tolly, one of the best Instagrammers making pizza all day at Papa Jans.
I think that's just an advert Papa John's, by the way.
But some of these influencers, they'll make videos doing whatever, but then they'll promote something on their page and get paid to do it.
Imagine one day overnight, you have no choice, but your business is gone.
Your money is gone.
You're broke.
You have no food.
You can't pay rent.
Stupidest thing Nepal could have done.
Because these young people are going to be like, okay, I'm going to be destitute in a month.
So what do they do?
They go out and protest.
What else can they do?
You've taken away their access to food.
When you look at the Arab Spring, they pointed out the experts, the experts.
The principal cause, there's three things.
People need food, security, shelter.
They need to be able to eat and know that they can get food.
They need somewhere to sleep and they need to know that they will be secure.
What ends up happening is when people in large numbers can't get food, you get riots.
If people in large numbers have nowhere to live, you get riots.
If people feel insecure, you get rights.
So what does that mean?
If the average person believes that no matter what they do, the government will beat and arrest them.
And so they're constantly living in terror of either anarcho-tyranny or tyranny, you'll get riots.
Those things.
And the principle, when food prices get too high.
So what happens?
In Nepal, when you shut down people's access overnight to culture and their economic means, you have just basically said, let's go light speed towards revolution.
Now, we don't know ultimately where all of this will end up, my friends.
There's a lot of places.
The U.S. Embassy in Nepal has issued a warning, State Department issuing a warning saying that the airport's being shut down, there's a curfew in place.
So we'll pay attention to this.
Some people believe this could ignite other protests, some kind of South Asian spring.
Perhaps.
Maybe not.
But in the meantime, we'll keep an eye on where this goes.
And let's just say maybe Gen Z is fed up with communists.
Smash that like button, my friends.
Share the show with everyone you know.
The next segment's coming up at 4 p.m. at youtube.com/slash Timcast and rumble.com slash the culture war.
Check it out.
We got more for you, and we'll see you all then.
For everyone else, a conversation needs to be had.
We have this story from the BBC.
Fatal stabbing of Ukrainian refugee in North Carolina ignites crime debate.
That's what they're calling it.
They're calling it a crime debate.
There's another video that's popped up that I'm not entirely sure that I can play.
I don't think I can.
My God, there is a video showing the moment the young girl was stabbed.
And it's actually rather terrifying because I don't think she realized that she was just killed.
I don't think she even knows.
I don't know if I can play this video.
You know, it's rough.
The new footage of the Irina Zarutska stabbing.
And after he stabs her, she looks down and she just sits there.
Yesterday on Fox News, Will Kane brought up the numbers, interracial crime.
I'm going to pull that up for you right now.
Igniting this debate.
Now, certainly many people are claiming that the debate is simply, is crime actually bad?
Well, we know the media is lying.
We know the media has lied.
And I'll write it down for you before we get into the numbers on the interracial crime stats.
Axios is a great example.
Axios Charlotte in January wrote how crime is, homicide is up 25% in Charlotte.
How people fear crime as it gets worse.
How the government has even stated that it's getting worse.
The other day, Axios wrote, it's only the video, the perception of the crime, the perception.
No, in reality, crime is getting bad.
And they say that's the debate.
But I have this post for you.
Following the Will Kane show, many people were pointing out, holy crap, Fox News is going there?
Well, yeah, there's a conversation to be had about racism in this country, and it goes every direction.
The left has long told us only white people are racist.
So I asked JetGPT, who stated?
In 2022, there were 435,480 black-on-white violent incidents compared to 96,550, showing a 462.8% increase in black-on-white incidents versus white on black.
They say that shows 26 times higher likelihood that a black person will attack a white person.
The issue here is that you have black people who are racist and will attack white people, and that's a problem.
It is equally a problem when racist white people attack black people.
I think the racism is equal in it being bad.
However, we have a 26 times higher likelihood adjusted for population that a black person will attack a white person.
Why is the media not allowing us to have that conversation?
I don't think anybody should disparage or discriminate on the basis of race.
Again, racism is not good.
And the racism problem appears to be more so black on white.
For the longest time, big tech social media companies have banned anybody who tried to bring this up when the reality is simply this: certain groups of people there are racists, and it is bad.
We shouldn't tolerate it.
Well, to carry on this narrative, we're going to be joined by our friend and consistent recurring guest, Viva Fry.
I'm curious what he thinks about this as the conversation has expanded on social media.
So, we'll be grabbing that's gentlemen now.
We are loading things up.
unidentified
Viva, Tim, how goes the battle?
tim pool
Uh, it goes, uh, it goes well.
How about yourself?
viva frei
Can you believe the world in which we're living?
I mean, you try to stay up to date with the news, it's you can never do it, and it's always worse than you initially thought it was.
tim pool
Yeah, oh, come on, man.
We're all black pilling over here.
I try to have, you know, look, who am I to talk, right?
Every day I'm talking about something that's dark on something that's negative, but there is this debate on crime that's popped up, which is uh, which has gotten really interesting.
And obviously, with the stabbing of uh, the murder of Irina Zaritska, the media's attempt at ignoring and covering this up, what has been exposed here, the big picture, I'll start here.
Will Kane show, shout out to the Will Kane show on Fox News.
He brings up interracial crime stats showing that black-on-white violence is two to one to white-on-black violence.
Now, some people have tried claiming they say, Yeah, but white-on-white and black-on-black are the majority of it.
Well, we understand that.
The issue that I'm seeing here is: when you get a George Floyd incident, a white cop kills a black man.
When you get a Jacob Blake incident, white cop kills a black man, you get protests, you get riots.
Even if it's a Hispanic neighborhood watch, Zimmerman, who takes the life of Trayvon Martin, you get mass protests and they call him white.
But when you get, and this happens more often, black racists attacking white people or racially motivated crimes from black people against white people, the media won't talk about it.
They'll cover it up.
They'll call you racist.
And now it seems that for whatever reason, the pendulum has swung and people are now able to talk about it without getting banned.
I'm curious your thoughts on everything that's going on with the media and the narrative.
What's happening?
viva frei
It's an amazing thing.
I just, as a science experiment, Googled Charlotte Killer and/Charlotte Murder, whatever.
The first image that comes up is Donald Trump from a political argument, a political article.
It's insidious.
The first article that comes up is the New York Times.
I call it a fluff piece, but it's a Republicans pounce on yet another vicious murder on the subway system where they prosecuted the Daniel Pennys for subduing the exact same individual that goes on when not subdued to stabbing someone in the neck.
tim pool
The figurative, you mean figuratively the same person, right?
viva frei
I say a crazy person who happens to be black.
I mean, the reality is people are going to focus on the racial element of this.
I'm going to focus on the mental illness element of this.
The man was a violent career criminal with a history of mental illness.
How that man absorbs a decade's worth of media blaming white people for everything is exactly how the media knows a crazy person is going to absorb that.
It's sort of like MK Ultra, except the media version.
tim pool
And real quick, on top of that, a social justice narrative that results in judges saying, oh, you poor black man, let me let you go.
To the rest of us, I don't care about his race.
He's crazy.
viva frei
Crazy, violent with a history of violent crimes.
And you get a judge.
The fact that the judge happens to be black is really not going to help any of the narrative here, who also has allegedly, according to some reports today, an indirect or an interest in treatment clinics, letting this guy go on a promise to appear after having such violent crimes as possession of a gun in the hands of a felon, assaulting his sister.
And then the guy calls up the cops and says that there's a man-made chip in me controling me.
And this guy's either not behind bars or an institution.
It's a failed system.
It tends to be a failed system in soft on-crime blue cities that exist within red states.
The amazing thing about the racism element of this, and now people are finally allowed to observe what the FBI had stopped tracking by way of demographics of violent crimes.
Back in the day, remember when the whole anti-Asian hate crime spate in the wake of COVID.
Hey, predominantly, I'm not saying anything controversial.
The demographics of that is that it was most likely black Americans doing this to Asians, but the narrative had to be, it's somehow Whitey's fault.
So they didn't even report on that at the time.
tim pool
They dropped the hashtag.
The activists that were pushing the stop Asian hate, once people started to realize that all the videos going viral were black people attacking Asians, the leftists just dropped it.
viva frei
It is, look, the reality is there are statistics that are undeniable out there.
And I am aware of what they refer to as the racist trope, the 1352, which is 13% of the population accounts for the American population accounts for 52% of the violent crime.
And then people are rightly observing, it's even worse than that.
It has nothing to do with the 13% of the general population being black.
It's inner city crime where you have repeat offenders who account for the vast majority of that crime.
And so it's even, it's not 1352.
It's probably like 252.
And it may or may not be, you could focus on the black element of it, but it is just repeat violent criminals within blue cities that don't get put behind bars where they deserve to be.
And so maybe it's all coming to a head now.
It takes a Ukrainian refugee getting stabbed in the neck, unprovoked by a schizophrenic black man by the circumstances of the story with a history of criminality and mental illness who was let out on a verbal promise to appear by a judge who has an indirect or direct interest in treatment clinics.
I mean, this is the type of, this is being reported today.
I'm going to do my best to verify it as much as I can.
But this is what it takes for people to say, holy crab apples, the idiots, politicians who promote these bleeding heart, forgive the criminals.
It's not their fault policy.
They have armed guards.
They have security.
The judges, they sure as hell have security.
They're not the ones who are the victims of their policy.
And it's, you know, how bad does it have to get?
Bonjin always said it.
Is it bad enough yet?
Is it bad enough yet?
A Ukrainian war refugee comes to America and is stabbed to death on the subway in Charlotte, North Carolina.
It might have gotten bad enough now for some people.
tim pool
Did you see the video that just emerged?
So the video that came out showing the incident, they omitted the point of contact when this deranged man stabbed her.
It shows him stand up and swing his arm and then freezes.
And then it cuts to the next moment where he's walking the train.
We now got more footage showing not the point where he stabs her, but literally immediately after.
And it is horrifying because people don't, I can't show a video of a young woman who's about to die.
But people, New York Post has it, they don't get it.
When you get shot, when you get stabbed, you don't know.
And in this video, what's so horrifying is this young woman is cowering.
She looks up at him as he walks away, and then she puts her hand in her face.
She doesn't even know.
She was just delivered a lethal strike to the neck.
She's not even bleeding yet.
And then you can see him walk away with blood dripping in the later videos.
There have been so many stories where people ask, was I shot?
Was I stabbed?
And because of movies, really because of movies, people think that when you get shot, you just collapse your dead instantly.
That's how every movie goes.
They go bang, bang, bang, and people just fall and drop dead as if it was a headshot.
So many instances, there have been people who are shot and they don't realize it.
And a few minutes later, they'll collapse.
And that's really terrifying, this video.
I don't know.
It's just scary.
viva frei
I don't want to see it.
I can't imagine being the relatives of the victim.
And now, you know, the gruesome murder of their loved one is on the internet for gawkers to gawk at, trolls to make jokes at, and politicians to politicize.
You remember back in the day, it was Andy No put out a, it was a tweet of a video in Australia, I think, and there was a knife fight in some subway, and the guy just gets struck once in the neck, and you bleed to death in 20 seconds.
Like the amount of blood that comes out of a jugular or the carotid artery.
It's horrifying.
It's nauseating.
Stabbing in particular is particularly graphic.
I mean, the idea of like sharp metal going into soft flesh, it's just disgusting.
And the woman sitting there, I say, you know, people, on the one hand, need to be aware of their surroundings at all times.
It's situational awareness at all times.
And it's not a question of being paranoid or neurotic.
It's a reality.
But it's horrifying.
This video is going to be out there for an eternity now to continue to re-injure the survivors, the victims of, sorry, the family members of this victim.
It's horrendous.
But people need to see it in order to understand how quick it happens, what it looks like, and the consequences of these blue city policies.
They are real.
They are devastating.
And the people putting them in force don't have to live with the consequences.
tim pool
There's a new the talk.
You know, these liberal activists like to talk about what was called the talk, and it was fake and it was a lie the whole time.
So in the past 10 or so years, liberals would claim that black families would have the talk with their kids about how you got to act around police, how police brutality, all of these things.
And they made these viral videos where it's like the black father is talking to his kid and he says it's time to have the talk.
And they were implying that cops were racist and white supremacist.
And it was weird to me from the south side of Chicago where I was like, I had the same talk.
All of the kids in my neighborhood had the same talk.
Here's how you behave.
Here's what you have to do.
Here's how the cops are going to act.
Here's what you got to do.
And these uppity, well-to-do liberals were telling the world, oh, it's only the black people have to do this.
And I'm like, everybody should have a talk about how you behave around police, what happens, why the police behave the way they do.
There's a new kind of talk.
Parents need to tell their children when going into these cities, Democrat-run cities, to keep one eye open, to constantly be checking over your shoulder, to have situational awareness, to know your exits.
Now, to be fair, I think any good parent's going to teach their kids basic situation awareness.
When I was a kid, my dad would always do that.
We'd walk, he was a firefighter, right?
We'd walk into a bar and he go, where are the exits?
And I'd look and I'd be like, there, and there's like, always know your exits.
Because as a firefighter, so many people die because they couldn't find the way out.
But now with this young woman, she thought she was safe.
I mean, the narrative was it's the white supremacists you got to watch out for, not the black man who is just an innocent victim of the system.
Now, parents are going to have to make sure if you've got a young daughter who's traveling alone on the subway, you explain to her.
Know your exits, know who you're standing next to, and be ready.
You could be attacked.
viva frei
And sit with your back to the wall.
Don't let people sit behind you.
There was a case of this in Montreal.
It wasn't in Montreal.
It was in Canada a while back on a Greyhound bus.
A schizophrenic guy who happened to be Chinese.
Like race is not the determinant element here.
It's mental illness.
Was on a Greyhound bus and went to the bathroom, came back with a knife and stabbed, decapitated the guy sitting next to him.
And then, you know, cut his body apart.
Total, total psychotic delusion that he had to separate the body parts to prevent it from coming back together.
But, you know, like, A, if you can avoid public transit, avoid it.
If you're going to do it, be aware of who's sitting behind you, where you are.
And, you know, Tim, you make the joke.
I had the talk.
My dad says when cops pull you over, it's thank you, sir.
Be polite.
Don't be an idiot.
tim pool
Hands on the wheel.
You take the keys out.
You put them, you put your wallet and the keys on the dash, grab your insurance, put on the dash, hands on the steering wheel, roll the window down, dome light on, radio off.
And when they walk up and ask for it, you grab it right in front of you and hand it to them.
That's what, that's what I was taught when I was a kid.
viva frei
It's common sense.
The only problem is that it's not, you know, the irony is that reality is the inverse of, or say the media is the inverse of reality.
They weren't having the talk of how to comply with police officers.
The media was telling them you don't have to comply with police officers because whatever you get pulled over, it's an act of racism, not law enforcement.
I got pulled over.
I got stopped coming out of my own house in Montreal and a cop, you know, I looked suspicious.
I'm wearing a down jacket, come running out.
I'm like, is it because I'm black?
No, it's not because I'm obviously not black.
Is it because I'm Jewish?
Who knows?
They would have to have a good eye to be able to detect that.
But like, it's, it's indoctrinated to say, if it happens to a black person, you know, it's because of racism.
But if it happens to anybody else, well, it's just law enforcement.
Daniel Shaver, you remember the execution by the SWAT team of Daniel Shaver when they swatted his hotel.
Nobody talked about that.
Nobody cried racism there.
It's motivated reasoning.
They look at it and they say, if race is involved, then we'll make it racial, even if it's not clear from its face, even if it's a black cop who's involved, because that's institutionalized racism.
But when it's a black guy now saying, I killed the whiteie, what was he now alleged to have said in the video?
He said, I got that white girl.
And I hadn't heard that yesterday.
Apparently, he's dripping blood, says, I got that white girl because he's a paranoid schizophrenic.
tim pool
But the guy on the train said that.
viva frei
Yes.
This is the latest reporting as of today.
If it's wrong, it's not my reporting.
tim pool
It's not the first time we've heard this.
There have been other reported instances where a black person killed a white person and said it was because they were targeting white people.
And this is, I'll say this.
I'm glad we can finally have honest conversations.
You used to get banned from any social platform for even showing FBI crime stats.
The left wanted to create the narrative that only white people were racist.
The reality is, Asians are racist.
Oh, boy, let me tell you how racist Asians can be.
Go to Southeast Asia and have a conversation with Korean and Japanese.
Black people can be racist.
And you know what?
White people can be racist too.
And when they came out and, you know, we would talk about the crime in our neighborhoods and how there are racist black people who intentionally target white people and Asians and Jews.
They would say, ban, can't say it.
Stop Asian hate.
Pointed out that there were black people who are racist attacking Asians.
Stop the hashtag, don't bring it up again.
You had the knockout game in New York where Jews were attacked.
Like it was young black men that would run up and beat and attack Jewish people.
The left would ban you if you would put this narrative out there.
So it's actually quite simple.
Black people, hey, no problem.
White people, no problem.
Asians, no problem.
Racists, problem.
But the left was protecting the racists so long as they were not white.
viva frei
Well, the ultimate irony, I mean, it's not even an irony.
It is the racism of racializing that so you can't talk about it because I would imagine, and I think there's empirical or at least observational evidence to support it, the black community is the one that would want to have this discussion among themselves.
The black on black violence is itself an epidemic that needs to be resolved.
Is it because of race?
Is it because of fatherless homes?
I mean, there's an overlap there.
And when you prevent having these discussions, you prevent any meaningful social, not repair, but correction.
And all that you end up doing is not even empowering, but rationalizing, not addressing it because anybody who seeks to address it in an open and honest manner is a racist.
When the FBI stopped classifying stats based on the racial component, that is institutionalized racism.
And what happens is you say, we're not to blame.
The community is not to blame.
They're all victims, victims of their own violence, like up in Canada where they claim that there's an indigenous genocide going on because Indigenous men are killing Indigenous women, but that's the result of white oppression.
It's the same rationale here.
And so you further victimize the community that themselves want more policing.
It's the white liberals who don't want more policing in high crime areas.
If you have more black people being pulled over by cops in high crime areas, it might just have to do with who happened to be the perpetrators, likely or not, of violence.
So of criminality.
But when you cripple the police's ability to do it, you demonize the police that do do it.
You prosecute the innocent bystanders who save lives.
The communities that suffer the most, incidentally, are the black communities.
But now that it's randos on subways, well, everyone's going to be up in arms and rightly so.
The discussion has to happen.
It's been far too long that it's been suppressed.
In fairness, some people do trollingly racialize everything, like, you know, racialize incidents that have no racial component to it, other than fact that one is black and one is white.
But when the mentally ill schizo is saying, I got that white girl, probably because he's been listening to Keith Olberman and Rachel Madden for the last 10 years.
You can't not understand that there is a problem.
These dog whistles have been heard.
And the MSM apparatus, New York Times politico CNN, not covering it and then covering it only to ostensibly blame Trump or Republicans for pouncing.
There's a big problem.
It's multifaceted, but it's about time to put it on super mega blast.
tim pool
There's a viral clip of Nick Fuentes going around where he says he doesn't want to live near black people.
And he actually goes on to say he's not saying individual black people are bad or our problem has anything wrong with them, but everybody talks about black neighborhoods and everybody knows what's being said.
And the problem with the social media is that they stopped this conversation from happening, which results in overt racism.
So I put it like this.
I'm from Chicago.
I can tell you, where I grew up, north of 47th Street was all black.
And that's largely where the crime was.
And the perpetrators of crime in our neighborhood largely came from those neighborhoods.
I did not think it is because they are black.
I thought it was because they were in gangs and criminals and recruited and had criminal organizations operating out of these areas.
Because we also in Chicago have Hyde Park, which has twice the national average of the black population and is one of the nicest neighborhoods in Chicago and actually has less crime than my white neighborhood.
So we understand there was a nuance to it.
And what ends up happening due to that, I think there is going to be, there's always some nature.
There's always some racial, ethnic, or genetic component in everything.
But I do think nature large, I'm sorry, nurture largely determines this.
And the left stopped us from having these conversations.
We had a conversation yesterday doing pre-production for IRL.
I understand the arguments from all the race realists about how the stats show IQ or show, whatever.
And I'm like, listen, I'll tell you this.
White, black, Asian, Mexican, or otherwise, raised by a disciplined military family, they are going to have disciplined military kids.
The race does not matter.
There are probably going to be deviations based on, I wouldn't necessarily want to say race, but genetics, which does have a racial component.
But I truly believe with proper discipline, good parenting, and cultural intervention in bad areas, we can stop all of this.
But when the left tells us we're not allowed to talk about the crime coming from the black communities into other areas, how can you ever actually address the cultural issues that create the perception of racism?
Or I'm sorry, that create racism when they censor you and shut you down and you can't talk about it.
viva frei
The single parent households, I think, is probably the biggest issue.
Then people are going to say, well, that's their statistical overrepresentation in the black community.
To say that that's because they're black, I mean, a genetic component, I think, is idiotic.
To say that there's sort of a cultural historical component about the laws that bleeding heart liberals have put into place that sort of incentivized children out of wedlock, I think the argument lies there.
But the bottom line, single-parent households, whatever the race, you're maximizing the odds of problematic outcomes.
Tim, have you ever seen the movie Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay?
tim pool
I think I did.
Yeah.
viva frei
Just to cite a classic, there's the scene where I think it's Kumar, who's like scared of some thuggy looking people on the street.
And he's like, I'm not scared of them because they're black.
I'm scared of them because they're scary.
I've been to plenty white areas where I'm situational awareness on full force.
I've been to several campgrounds that I drove in and drove out of.
And if the races were reversed, someone would say that's racism.
You know areas that look safe, people that look safe.
And the issue becomes when you treat individuals based on the statistical overrepresentations of the communities, that's when racism occurs.
But when it comes to a matter of survival and logical behavior, you're not going to go into high crime areas, regardless of what race or ethnicity happen to live in those high crime areas.
The issue is that there are certain cultural phenomenon or trends that have existed for years that you haven't been able to discuss them, address them, or have a meaningful, thoughtful discussion on them.
And part of that is single parent households, children out of wedlock.
Why that is highly statistically overrepresented within certain communities is a question to be asked and answered, but it must be discussed.
tim pool
Chicago, you know, are you familiar with the terms blockbusting and redlining?
viva frei
Redlining, yes, not blockbusting.
tim pool
Blockbusting was back in the day, probably still to this day.
Real estate companies, agents, and property owners, they go to a nice white area, buy a house, rent the property to a black family intentionally at a below market rate, or just incentivize them to move in, giving them a one-year lease.
They then solicit all the homeowners and say, there goes the neighborhood, better sell now.
Tricking these families into selling at a discounted rate, let's say their house is worth 300 grand.
They'd say, look, with the black family moving in, property values are going down.
So we'll buy your house for $280 from you cash on the spot.
The families panic, would sell their houses.
The real estate company would then evict the black family and then sell the properties back at their base market value rate and turn a profit.
One of the most disgusting practices.
They say it doesn't happen anymore.
Maybe it doesn't.
Redlining, of course, is when the real estate agents basically were like, we're going to make sure all of the black people live in one area.
We need a new term for what Chicago does.
Chicago has the example that I've used over the past several weeks pertaining to the National Guard is an area called the Leclerc Courts.
It's where I grew up.
I grew up about two or three blocks away.
We never crossed in my life, in my life, I never crossed 47th to the north because it was gang territory.
What did the Democrats in Chicago do?
They bulldozed all the houses and flattened them to the earth and then said, don't worry, we're going to rebuild everything improved for this black community.
They never did.
It's been 16 years and they have never rebuilt those homes.
This is what the Democratic policies in these cities have always been.
They tell us when we point out the high crime in the areas, we're racist.
They say if we try to talk about how to solve the problem, we're racist.
And then quietly, first of all, they instruct the police not to arrest the criminals for political reasons.
They don't want to look bad and lose voters.
They release criminals from the jails.
And then when they finally can't take it anymore because of the economic problems, they bulldoze the properties.
All of the people who live there, their wealth destroyed.
Anything they could have built in the community wiped out, scattered into the suburbs with nowhere to go.
And this, which is pushed by Democrats, perpetuates crime and poverty in these black neighborhoods.
I'd like to figure out how we can improve their lives, deal with the gang violence.
And you know what, I'll tell you this?
Instead of bulldozing all those houses, a couple of National Guard and police and some assistance with the local businesses may have actually alleviated a lot of these problems.
The Democrats, in my opinion, perpetuate it on purpose.
viva frei
I would say, you know, there will be nobody who's going to have trouble believing that there's some incentive political policy-wise to perpetuate this.
What was I about to, I was going to say something about, I had on Reverend Tim Christopher, who's in Minnesota talking about, you know, what happens when the crime gets so bad, people, there's an exodus, and there's an exodus as well, a small element of the criminals who then go to more fertile grounds for their criminality.
Who was it?
There was another stand-up comic who said, when people make it, they leave what's colloquially referred to as the hood.
They leave the bad areas and they go to the good areas.
Nobody has the idea of staying there and trying to fix it internally from within with the wealth that they've acquired.
It's not how it works.
The reality is it's like nobody likes the police until they need one.
Nobody likes a lawyer until they need one.
More police just correlate to a decrease in crime.
To the extent that your police are not a total corruption.
tim pool
Chicago has a problem.
viva frei
I was going to say Mexico type of cartel police, but it's just a known fact.
What contributes to this problem is demonizing the police, forcing out all the good cops.
So the only ones you have left are the bad apples, disincentivizing police to even intervene because you have an incident like with the Kim Potter who does a tragic accident, whether you want to call it negligence or not, and then goes to jail.
Derek Chauvin, who, I was convinced he's a bad man.
I was just convinced that there was a racial element to that attack in the beginning.
Then I watched the trial.
There was no chance for justice.
And you demonize anybody who would ever think of getting into the police force.
tim pool
Chauvin, Chauvin showed up after Floyd was already on the ground.
viva frei
Once people appreciate not just what actually went down with Derek Chauvin, because it looked terrible.
Yeah, he had his knee on the back of a guy while you have a bunch of angry spectators saying, what are you doing?
This is racism because you're subduing a man who was, I don't know if he was bigger than the man who just stabbed Irena to death.
But people don't understand, A, how quick it happens.
And B, how people who are jacked up on drugs or mentally ill have superhuman strength.
And if the worst thing that happens is someone putting their knee on their back while they arrest them.
But the bottom line, you demonize all the cops.
Cops are not signing up.
Civilians who get involved themselves either get killed or arrested afterwards.
And it's the perfect concoction for anarcho-tyranny, which seems to be the norm in these blue cities and these blue states.
Criminalize lawful behavior, demonize the police, and then scratch your head when crime is out of control, and then try to blame it on the fact that it's in a red state, but in a blue city, there's a trend.
It's not the states that are the trend right now, it's the big blue cities.
10 of the 10 highest crime cities are all Democrat-run governors.

Take care.
The great Viva Fry, as always, who will be live later on on Rumble.
Check him out.
My friends, there is a simple surface level to the conversation on racial animosity in this country.
And I think to outright deny the racial component is stupid.
I think to outright deny the nature component, genetic component, and nurture, and to act like any one of these things is deterministic is stupid.
I think the problem we have is people are different.
Some people are racist.
Some people aren't.
We want to treat everybody equally under the law, but we have to have honest conversations about crime in this country.
And for too long, we were censored and banned if we pointed out that there are racist black people who attack Asians, like in the stop Asian hate thing, and white people, like this guy, reportedly maybe, I'm not so sure, but it happens.
Racism is a bad thing.
I don't care if you're white, Asian, black, Jewish, whatever it may be.
We should treat people equally under the law.
If you want to have hate in your heart for a certain group of people, you're allowed to do it.
I don't care.
Okay?
I don't care.
I'm not a fan of that.
Just when you commit crimes against people, that's the issue.
And so, if we have in this country narratives from the left about the evil oppressor of the white man, and then you see that a black person in the United States is 26 times higher, 26 times more likely to take a white person than a white person, a black person, maybe the leftist, racist narratives against white people is driving racial animosity.
And we want to stop that.
So maybe one day people of all races can hold hands and sing songs under a rainbow.
Until then, I do think we're winning.
And I think it's good for people of all backgrounds.
And maybe we'll figure this one out.
