It's been a while. I've been to jail and back again ever since the last Cigar Night.
But I'm going to be back doing these weekly because I feel like my audience is growing.
I feel like a lot of people are now getting accustomed to listening to me and the things I have to say.
And people are actually interested in my opinions on things, so rather than type out all my answers on X, I'd rather give video replies on Rumble, because they go viral anyway, and then people get to know my takes on things in the world.
I appreciate all the support.
This is a record-breaking cigar night already.
We have more viewers than we ever normally have, which just goes to show that the attempts to silence my brother and I are failing in real time.
They've been failing ever since they first started.
So, if you don't know how a cigar night works, it's very, very simple.
I light a cigar and I answer your questions.
Questions come in through Super Chats.
I've already listed a few questions that were asked earlier to me, earlier on X to me.
However... Super chat questions are the ones I'll be answering as and when things come in.
So feel free to ask me anything important.
I probably won't answer if it's too specific to you.
If it's, hey Tristan, my name's Steven.
I'm working for this much per hour.
I have a business idea.
I live in Connecticut. Probably not going to dive into it unless it's a really big Super Chat.
All the money, as you know, goes to Tate Pledge.
The money used here, the money given on Rumble, is used to feed hungry children everywhere in the world.
So I'm going to smoke the cigar, and around about the time I finish smoking the cigar, which should be about an hour or so, we should be done with this, and then I've got a surprise for everybody.
So I decided...
To smoke an affordable cigar for once, which is a first.
I'm not going to light it with a $72,000 lighter.
This is not a $500, $600, $700 cigar.
This is a nice, normally priced cigar that most of you can buy for around $20 to $30 anywhere in the world.
Because I thought... What's the point of me flexing on everyone with all these expensive cigars?
Because I don't even describe how they taste.
I just answer questions and basically ignore the fact that I'm smoking a cigar.
The original point of Cigar Nights was to review the various tobaccos, but I've got so much to say in so little time, I never ever do.
So this is a Perdomo 30th anniversary.
The tobacco is Nicaraguan.
It's aged for 15 years.
As those of you who may have seen my impromptu sales pitch for cigars now understand, what gives a cigar its taste and its flavor is the time it takes and the process it takes to age the tobacco correctly before rolling it.
So this one, whoever picked the leaves to put into this cigar and started aging them, did that 15 years ago.
And here I am smoking this thing today.
And again, $30, $40 tops.
Very, very affordable and highly recommended to you people at home.
Shout out to Nicaragua, guys in the chat.
Now, I've got a few questions and topics I'd like to cover.
I don't play video clips because I'm not Mr.
Producer. I just sit and speak.
First I'm going to light this and tell you how it is.
I'm going to give you a 1 to 10 scale while the Super Chats are flooding in.
The most interesting ones I'm gonna put to the side I'm gonna put to the side.
8 out of 10.
so far.
8 out of 10. Scrolling through the questions now.
So I had a few questions come in to me on X. Somebody sent me a clip.
Of Professor Richard Dawkins, the famous atheist.
He wrote books such as The God Delusion, The Reality.
What's it called? I've read the book.
The Magic of Reality, I believe it's called.
Many books which I myself have read in my younger days.
And Richard Dawkins has now come out as a cultural Christian.
So... What that means is, if you haven't seen the clip, he doesn't believe in the God of the Bible.
He doesn't believe that Jesus is our Lord and Savior.
What he believes is that society, English society, as he is an English man, is a Christian society.
And we shouldn't forget or neglect Christianity, whether or not he believes in it or not.
So he wants all the benefits of a Christian society without actually...
Accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, which is quite cute.
but I'm going to talk about Richard Dawkins for a little bit because people have sent me this clip and they've asked
me what I think about him.
I feel like Richard has been left behind.
behind.
I feel like the age of the intellectual atheist, when Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens and Sam Harris and various people in the world were writing books and doing documentaries and speeches about why it's good to be an atheist, why the world would be a great place if everyone was an atheist, why we need to give up on religion.
Bill Maher famously released a documentary called Religulous.
You see, I believe all of these men to be relatively intelligent And reasonable people.
And the problem with intelligent and reasonable people is if you decide to be an atheist and you are intelligent and reasonable, what you do is you falsely project the idea To yourself, that the entire world can be an atheist and be reasonable and moral and kind and loving and generous and neighborly.
But that isn't the experience that we've seen.
So religion has massively declined.
Atheism has really blown up in the United States as well as European countries after all of these men wrote their books and did all their podcasts and all their TED Talks about why religion is bad, etc.
Unfortunately, he has found himself left behind and isolated as a reasonable man.
I have no reason to believe he's a bad person.
I have no reason to believe that he is evil.
I have no reason to believe that he wants to kill children or castrate children.
However, all of the other atheists do.
He has led the charge into the 21st century with this banner of atheism, and he's turned around and looked at his army and realized, I'm the bad team.
I am the bad guy.
And I'll tell you what I'm talking about in a moment.
He is an evolutionary biologist.
So biology is what he is educated in.
He knows more about biology than me and probably you and probably most other people because he's a highly educated individual.
Books such as... Did he write The Selfish Gene?
He may have done. Anyway, again, an amazing book.
The problem he's had is the atheists of the world, because it's not the Christians, it's not the Muslims, it's not the Jews, it's not the Hindus, it's not the Sikhs.
No great religious leaders of the world are pushing ideas like, boys are girls and girls are boys.
Gender is fluid. You could pick your gender.
You could choose to be a boy if you're a girl.
You could choose to be a girl if you're a boy.
Sex is not binary.
It is fluid.
Now, these are obviously ridiculous ideas and nobody with a reasonable mind thinks they're true.
But the large groups of people who do live by this, the religion of gender ideology, are the atheists.
And Christianity has preserved Standard, general, biological facts.
So is Islam.
So has Judaism. So is Sikhism, so is Hinduism.
Every single religious group of people in the world have preserved the ideas that Richard Dawkins knows more about than most of us here.
Ideas like XX chromosomes make you a woman, XY chromosomes make you a man.
So it's very funny and it must be sadly ironic for Professor Dawkins to be sitting there with this new team of atheists that he's helped create and realize that they're all fucking insane.
The idea that you should be aborting your children and that abortion is healthcare, again, I think is very evil.
I understand the reasons behind some abortions and I do believe that in some cases it is necessary.
I'm not saying it should be illegal.
But I'm saying it's not the Christians and the Muslims who are wearing t-shirts saying, I've had 20 abortions, so what?
My body, my choice. That is all...
The atheists and people, especially Western people, should be having more children, not less.
So I feel like Richard must feel a little bit sad because I've seen him in the past in a documentary he did with Christopher Hitchens maybe 10 years ago saying that if he could push a button and get rid of all religion in the world, he'd push it.
He seems to have changed his mind.
And what he's saying is, England is a Christian country.
Our cathedrals, our churches, our art, our hymns, our poetry, our plays, everything that's been done in the name of Christianity is what makes England, England.
England is wonderful because of it.
And England shouldn't be anything but a Christian nation.
I don't know if he's particularly talking about...
I think what he's doing is he's trying to juxtaposition himself and say, oh, I don't want it to become a Muslim nation.
Essentially, it's becoming an atheist nation because of people like him, and he's now seen the light.
Not seen the light for real, like I've seen the light.
Not like you've seen the light, but he's seen a glimmer of the light.
And he understands that religion is amazing for society, and it helps society function in a healthy, normal way.
Now... I have a Muslim brother.
I'm a Christian man myself.
So what culture, what religion do I think England should be?
Well, I am not one of the people who wants his own religion to be in charge of every country in the world.
I understand that there are differences in the way that we worship God.
I understand that certain countries run in different ways.
I believe England should be a Christian nation.
I believe its leaders should be Christian.
I believe its politicians should be Christian.
I believe its heroes and the people it promotes should be Christian.
I believe its values and its ideals should be Christian.
But I don't think the world should be Christian because I think the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia should be a Muslim country.
I think that these are cultural factors that have shaped the mindset of the people in England, Christianity and the Bible.
In Saudi Arabia, the Holy Quran and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.
They have shaped the culture of the people and the society so much so That they're an integral and important part of what that society is and what it means to be English or what it means to be Saudi or what it means to be, I don't know, Gujarati Hindu, for example. So I believe England should be a Christian nation.
I believe that all of its leaders, et cetera, should be Christians.
And Richard Dawkins is...
Yeah, he's found himself in a bit of a difficult situation because he's now admitting that society is much better when it's underpinned with the teachings of Jesus Christ and the teachings of the Bible.
Well, welcome to the club, Richard!
I'll happily throw you a baptism anytime you like.
I'm a longtime admirer of your work.
I've read all your books. However, I think you're slowly, slowly coming to the realization that made me explore Christianity again, and the realization that made me convert to Christianity again as an atheist.
And that was, I looked at society, I looked at the other atheists, I looked at how they behave, I looked at how they think, and I thought, are these my people?
Are these my people? Are these the people who I want in control of the world?
Are these the people who I want as neighbors?
Are these the people I want in society?
And you'll very quickly find that the answer is absolutely not.
Now, I'm getting a bit of backlash here when I say the leaders of England should be Christians, because as we know, the Prime Minister is not a Christian.
He is a Hindu. Rather than backtrack, I'm going to give a little bit of a speech and I'm going to get myself in more trouble.
I think that's smart.
I'm gonna say something that not a lot of people are allowed to say.
I'm a British man.
I come from a multi-religious family.
I am half black.
I'm a quarter Irish and no Ireland is not England and Ireland is not the UK. So I'm a mix of everything and I'm going to come out and say it because a lot of people aren't allowed to say this without being called racist, but I believe the leaders of the United Kingdom not only should be Christians, I believe that they should be white.
Why do I believe that they should be white?
I don't necessarily think that a white person is any better qualified than a black person or any better qualified than a person of Asian descent or Indian descent to be the leader of the United Kingdom.
But I believe that white people deserve it more.
And I believe they deserve it because of their historical ties to the place and their historical ties to the past.
So let's forget England for a second, because when I talk specifically about England, people call me a racist.
If I were to say...
Japan. I believe that the samurai who fought in all of the great wars for the shogunate back when Oda Nobunaga and his boys were fighting to try and gain supremacy of the country and all the sacrifices that were made in their wars with the Portuguese and the fights they had in World War II against the West.
I believe that all the brave men of Japan did all of these things and they did this So they could pass their country onto their children.
They did it so they could pass their country onto their children.
And England is no different.
The story of the United Kingdom doesn't begin in the 1940s and 50s when immigration showed up.
England was established and built before that.
No diversity did not build Britain.
The story of England goes back, arguably, As recent as 1066, as far back as, I guess, the fifth century when the Romans left.
But all of the wonderful and beautiful things that Englishmen have done.
Standing up against French knights on the Battle of Agincourt.
Charging the fields at the Somme.
Writing the Magna Carta.
Everything these English people did.
It was so that they could defend their country and pass their country onto their children.
Now, I do have one English grandparent.
These people are my ancestors a bit.
However, the soldiers who fought in World War II, the soldiers who fought in World War I, the members of Horatio Nelson's Great Navy when they defeated the Spanish-French fleet at Trafalgar, these people Did these amazing things to pass their country on to their children.
So no, I don't believe that an Indian man's child or grandchild should be in control of the UK. Or an African man's child or grandchild should be in charge of the UK. I am only one quarter native, native British.
I don't think I should be the Prime Minister.
My ancestors were slaves taken from Western Africa to the United States.
A lot of my ancestors were Irish who were massive, massive opponents of the British and hated the British.
I don't believe that I have enough skin in the game to be qualified to be leader of the United Kingdom.
So when I say that the leaders of England should be white and the leaders of England should be Christian, I feel like there's nothing wrong with saying that.
Now, will I get attacked for it?
Maybe. But their ancestors didn't help write the great British story.
At least nowhere near to the extent as the white Englishman.
And again, I could say this about any country.
And when I say it about other countries, no one calls me crazy.
If I were to say Thailand should be run by Thai people who are ethnically Thai,
who speak the Thai language, who are Buddhists like the Thai, no one's
going to call me a racist.
If I were to say that I think Mexico should be run by Mexicans and the
descendants of the conquistadors and the Aztecs, when they all mixed together,
those people helped build that nation and the president should be Mexican and
he should speak Spanish and everyone in the parliament should be Mexican and
No one's going to call me names when I talk about Mexico or any other country, Argentina, El Salvador.
But when I say it about England, suddenly I'm racist.
But I mean it.
And if you don't like what I say, don't watch my fucking show.
And yes, yes, that disqualifies me from being Prime Minister of the UK. I would happily vote for that and disqualify myself.
Speaking of the United Kingdom and things that have gone wrong,
we're going to talk about Scotland's new hate speech laws.
And hate speech laws are a tricky thing.
And they're a slippery, slippery slope.
Now... To give you guys a little context on my opinions on hate speech laws, I'm going to rewind the clock about 12 years.
And 12 years ago, New York City decided to try to ban a word.
They tried to make a certain word illegal.
And that word was the N-word.
The N-word with a hard R. I don't like to say it.
Technically, I'm allowed to say it.
But why say it?
It's offensive to a lot of my beautiful black listeners, so I'm not going to.
But New York City tried to make the N-word illegal, essentially.
And a lot of people wanted it to be made illegal.
Obviously, it violates America's First Amendment of free speech.
But I actually said I do not want it to be illegal.
I would hate for the N-word to be illegal.
Now, that's not just so I can laugh and joke with my friends and my friends can use it in our stupid little friendship group.
The reason I don't want the N-word to be illegal anywhere in the world is because the state of the world 12 years ago was relatively sane.
The left hadn't gone too far left.
Social justice warriors didn't have their swords out yet.
So making the N-word illegal, what's the harm?
I'll tell you what the harm would have been.
The harm would have been...
Not that you can't say the N-word, but you've officially given the government the ability to ban words and make words illegal and police your speech and send you to jail for the words that come out of your mouth.
Now, if you want to come up to me and call my dad an N-word to my face, I'll deal with you.
What I won't do is call the police.
Hey, he said a legal word.
I think he should be arrested. I think you're fully within your rights to say that word.
And if you want to go up to my group of friends, a lot of them are black, and say the N-word, if you're brave enough, feel free.
You should be allowed to do that.
Because once you give the government the ability to choose which words are legal and which words are not legal, think about how far the world has changed in these 12 years.
Luckily, that got thrown out.
The N-word isn't illegal anywhere in the United States, but let's pretend they still had this power.
Okay, 12 years ago, we made the N-word illegal.
We still have the power.
New York is insane.
It's run by insane leftist liberals.
Just look what they're doing to Trump in New York.
He built the skyline.
They're trying to fine him $500 million for nothing.
Now, if...
They had the power now that was given to them 12 years ago to make words illegal.
What words would they make illegal?
Biological male? Biological female?
Cisgender? Pedophile?
That's a sexual orientation.
You're not allowed to say that. That's too mean.
You see where I'm going with this?
No words should ever be made illegal.
And what Scotland has done is Really, really passed, I think, perhaps the worst piece of British legislation in my lifetime.
Because what they've done is they've said, if speech is hateful, it's illegal.
Well, what does hateful mean?
Who defines what hateful means?
The police? The left-wing liberal police who dance around in gay pride flags all day?
So when J.K. Rowling...
I believe she lives in Scotland.
JK Rowling's actually using my line.
Take me to jail. That's my line.
JK, you're allowed to have it.
I know you and my brother had some arguments about depression and mental health about five or six years ago, but what you're doing in terms of standing up to this horrible attack on free speech, I've got to admire you for it, and you are willing to go to jail to state biological facts.
So what they're doing in Scotland is extremely dangerous.
Because if you think of how crazy the world's got in the last 12 years...
What happens in 12 more?
God knows. I identify as a child is calling me an adult, hateful.
I identify as a dog is calling me a human, hateful.
Is stating biological facts going to become hateful?
Are people going to end up in jail for saying that men are men and women are women?
I don't know. But I'm glad prominent people like J.K. Rowling are leading the charge against this, and that's why I thought I need to speak out against it as well.
Because it is fundamentally wrong and inherently evil to be policing anybody's speech in any way.
Obviously, threats...
Incitement to violence.
I'm going to kill you. We should murder these type of people.
Obviously, I understand why those threats, not the speech itself, can be crimes, because what you're doing is, you know, you're opening the door to actual physical violence on somebody.
But it is not hateful to state biological fact.
And credit to JK for standing up to that.
Boycott Starbucks! Boycott McDonald's!
Boycott Coca-Cola! Are you making a difference?
Well, my very good friend asked me about this today.
I was asked if I believe that the Boycotts against companies that allegedly pay taxes to the Israeli state are going to do anything to halt the genocide that they're committing.
And I said no. I said buy your coffee at Starbucks, drink a Coca-Cola, it doesn't make a difference.
And I'm gonna explain why, and I'm gonna explain what should be done.
Free speech is super important, as I was just covering in my previous point.
Thank you.
And what's happened is, now that free speech has been restored to the people, people who want to commit acts of evil if they have control of the media.
And no, I'm not talking about a religious group.
I'm talking about a nation, by the way.
People who control the media can commit horrible acts of violence and nobody ever checks them for it because they're in charge of, you know, the New York Times and all the newspapers and they can dictate events as they like.
However, free speech on platforms like Rumble, platforms like X, have opened the door to people actually analyzing what's happening in the Middle East and what's being done in the Middle East.
Now, this is the cure to the problem because America is never going to abandon Israel.
It's never going to turn its back on Israel.
They're very close allies and I believe they always will be.
However, when people like the future president, the great Donald Trump, has now
seen with his own eyes what's going on over there and said, look, Israel, you've
taken it too far.
When very, very prominent podcasters, people like Candace Owens, Joe Rogan,
people like Alex Jones, people who otherwise do like Israel, don't
necessarily dislike the country, are now calling out this genocide for what it is.
It's an important cultural shift and free speech is the only way to fight it.
You show the world what's happening and let people make up their own mind because no decent person, no decent person, no matter if you're Jewish, Muslim or Christian, no decent person is in favor of what is happening in Gaza.
And if you are, Then take a look at the mirror.
You're not a decent person. So do I think the boycotts work?
No. And I'm going to explain why boycotting is completely pointless.
Talk about the issue.
Share the horrible videos, sadly, that people tag you in.
Talk to people on the ground.
Donate money to help the children, like I do, and to help the people struggling over there to rebuild.
But by all means, don't think that not buying Coca-Cola and not buying Starbucks is going to help at all.
And I'm going to explain why. Let's pretend...
Life is that simple.
Obviously, Coca-Cola own the other drinks you're going to drink.
I'm not going to get into that. Obviously, BlackRock own the shares in the coffee franchise that you go to, and if you don't go there, anywhere else you go, the smoothie shop is owned by the same people.
Let's pretend it's actually simple.
Let's pretend Coca-Cola...
Is it one drink and it's a company that pays a million dollars a day in taxes to the Israeli government?
Let's pretend Starbucks is a coffee shop that's registered in Israel as a company and it pays a million dollars every single day to the Israeli government.
Let's pretend it's black and white simple, okay?
Well... If you boycott them and their revenues fall in half, then they only donate half a million a day to the Israeli government, which funds obviously the Israeli war effort.
I would say the Israeli genocide myself.
And if things were that simple, what kind of difference would it make?
So you are the Israeli army.
You get a million dollars a day, two million dollars a day, a million from Coca-Cola, a million from Starbucks, and you're waging your genocidal war.
The money's cut in half because of the boycotts.
Okay. What do you do next?
Well, who funds these campaigns?
Who funds the military in Israel?
The American taxpayer. But not just the American taxpayer, the American Federal Reserve.
And where do they get money from?
They make it up. We're good to go.
It's already there. In cyberspace, ready to be typed into existence to pay for its bombs and its weapons and its napalm and its bullets and its soldiers.
So boycotting Starbucks ain't gonna do a goddamn thing.
However... The shift in public consciousness that has happened, even people like Piers Morgan are now calling out Israel and what they're doing.
And him and my brother had a mighty clash about this on day one.
Well, the cultural shift is what stops Americans from saying, I'm going to give money to this state.
I'm going to fund this further.
So buy your coffee, buy your burgers, buy your Coca-Cola, because that's not what's going to hurt them.
Talking about the problem is what's going to hurt them.
Just as I would speak openly against any genocide anywhere in the world, against any person, I'd speak openly against genocide being committed against Israelis just as much as I would Palestinians.
I'm an anti-genocide person.
And that's my political standpoint.
People think I'm crazy? Well, I'm not.
Speaking of Donald Trump, I got a few questions about him and his family on X.
And the questions were along the lines of, do I think that there is future political leadership built
into the Trump family?
And this all came after a post I made.
Bye.
Barron Trump's 18th birthday was a week and a half ago.
Happy birthday, young man. And what happened was some left-wing insane journalist made some very strange comment saying, Barron Trump's now 18.
He's fair game. I don't know what he meant by that.
And I don't think I want to know what he meant by that.
However, what I would say is, yes, he is fair game.
He's fair game, as in he's 18 years old, so it's fair game to put him in his father's administration, give him a job in politics, let him learn, let him grow, and position him for a future presidential run in 30 years' time.
Yes, he's fair game in that way, and good.
And I guess the question is, do I believe there is potential
president material within the Trump family?
Can they become a great political dynasty like the Kennedys were, for example?
And my answer to that is an overwhelming yes.
When Donald Trump wins, and I hope he does, this will be his last term as president.
Obviously you can only run two terms and Donald Trump deserves to retire.
He's getting old. He deserves to retire and enjoy the rest of his life in peace.
So who do you hand over the reins to then?
A few people know this, but not everybody does.
I met Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., about six years ago, before anyone really knew who I was.
My brother and I were just medium-sized Twitter accounts, but a conversation was had where it was, if you're ever in New York, let me know.
And we sat in Trump Tower and spoke about the state of the world with him for about an hour or two.
Now, I changed my mind completely on one thing back then.
I used to believe that the children of billionaires and the children of multimillionaires wouldn't be, what's the word, in touch with the common man, wouldn't understand the problems of the real world, wouldn't be as hardworking or as ambitious as a self-made person like their fathers or their grandfathers were.
And I was completely wrong.
I met Donald Trump Jr.
and he was one of the most impressive people I have ever met.
He'd been up since 6 o'clock that morning working already.
We're sitting in his office. He knew everything about every topic.
Topics that wouldn't even necessarily affect a man of his net worth.
At the time, I believe his father was the sitting president and he was running Trump Enterprises.
He had the time to sit and talk to myself and my brother, and I thought, wow, what an incredibly sharp, incredibly smart man this is.
So, obviously, Barron Trump, any political dreams he has are in the far future, probably.
He's very young. He has a lot to learn and a lot to do.
But from what I know of Don Jr., if his brothers are anything like him, yeah, we have future presidents in the Trump family already.
And I think that's what we need, because the Trump family can't be bought with money.
And that's one of the reasons why they hate Donald, the big Donald, so much.
I believe what he's doing in terms of his political goals, how great the country became during his four years of presidency, it's been ruined now, I think that he can really make America great again, but he needs someone to tag in when this is all over.
And I wish the Trump family the best of luck.
There definitely, definitely is leadership in the Trump family.
Future American presidents, no doubt.
And I really hope so.
I would really love, I'd be very comfortable and very happy to see these people in charge of the country over many terms, through many different men, throughout my lifetime.
Okay, I'm gonna scroll through the superchats now as I smoke, because I have many.
Can you stop saying rest in peace Shaggy?
Please. I don't know why you're paying money to type rest in peace Shaggy to me.
Yes. Yes.
Rory bought a goat.
Yes, he bought the goat to my house.
Yes, I killed and ate the goat.
I don't know what he expected me to do.
I don't really know what he thought was going to happen.
Of course I was going to kill his goat.
Stop typing rest in peace Shaggy.
I don't care about his goat.
I'm not even calling it by its name.
I care zero percent.
Hi Tristan. Looks like you love freedom of speech.
Blah blah blah. This particular chain is important because of freedom of speech etc etc.
Ah! Somebody.
Heidi. Wants me to shill their crypto.
Interesting. Well, I'm not going to, and I'm not going to say the name of that particular chain online.
Because why would I? Do I own some of the coins?
I own lots of different coins.
But the problem with me is, I don't want Any fan of mine to take what I say as financial advice, and the cryptos that you're all sending to me, hoping that I pump, I see as potential failures.
They could be potential failures.
Do I have some? Sure, I've got some.
But that doesn't matter. What I would say is, when I talk about crypto, I'm very careful.
I like certain things that perhaps I'm not big enough to affect.
I like Bitcoin. But if I say I like Bitcoin, I can't spike the Bitcoin price.
Ethereum, again, very interesting.
Venom Network, very, very interesting.
But that's a whole chain, you see.
That's an entire chain, not some individual coin that anyone can pump and dump.
So I'm a big believer in quite a few projects, but if you send me Superchats with particular names in it, I'm not going to read them out loud.
Because I don't believe in them that much, and I don't like them that much.
Where was I? There are some things we should never stop talking about.
I'm getting a lot of questions about him, so I'm very gonna quickly say Julian Assange should not be in prison.
He's committed no crime.
When I joked about the British government trying to use Romania, And their preventative detention laws to throw me in jail indefinitely until there's a trial or there isn't a trial.
I thought that was a very cruel trick by the English because they don't have preventative detention.
They don't just lock people up for no reason.
And they're trying to get the Romanians to do it with some of their own citizens, which I thought was very sad.
The UK certainly has betrayed me.
What I meant was, England doesn't throw people in jail for no reason and leave them to rot without trial, unless your name is Julian Assange.
That's what I meant. And yes, I follow his wife.
I follow the campaign to free him.
I think it's important that people don't forget his name.
I remember when he was first arrested.
I'm a lot older than some of you.
But essentially, he was exposing war crimes committed by the United States military.
Not that the United States military is all bad or that's full of bad people, but there were crimes being committed.
He... I guess released a lot of documents that people didn't want the average American who pays for these things to happen to actually see and to actually read.
And he was accused of rape by some anonymous woman or touching her inappropriately and he was put in jail and then he was hiding in the Ecuadorian embassy in London for years and now he's in jail still.
Who's that girl?
Who did he touch? No one knows.
You know, what's the evidence? No one knows.
America want to extradite him for...
Treason, even though he's not an American citizen, the Australians really should do something about it and take their boy home.
I believe he's Australian, isn't he?
Australian or South African? Whatever country he's from, take the bloody guy home and fucking let him go.
So yeah, don't stop talking about Julian Assange.
Jesus, how much trouble do I want to get in?
Hi, Tristan! I know your thoughts towards black actors playing James Bond.
Have you seen the new Romeo and Juliet couple?
I have one word.
And that word, the word that I'm going to hide behind, so you don't call me names like racist or misogynistic, is authenticity.
Authenticity is nice.
I've read the Bond books.
Yes, he should be white because it's authentic to the book and the creator who wrote the book.
I feel like if you were to make a black Harry Potter, that's fine as long as J.K. Rowling does it.
It's her character.
It's her book. She's allowed to make a black Harry Potter.
Ian Fleming is dead, however, so Bond should be white and nobody should be messing with the character he created.
Now, Shakespeare is super dead!
How much trouble do I want to get in?
Obviously, Romeo and Juliet should be white.
Both of them. Obviously.
Shakespeare did not write the play about a black girl and a white guy.
I know there are reimaginings of Romeo and Juliet and Shakespeare's work is now off copyright so you can do whatever you want with it.
But let's just say Romeo and Juliet is about a handsome young man and a beautiful young woman.
This woman not only does not match the description of Juliet racially, she doesn't match the description of Juliet at all.
And I feel like it's a virtue signal to promote the play, because I wouldn't know about this if it wasn't done in this way.
So I feel like it's a way of getting people talking.
And if I were a black actor, I would feel very upset being cast in a role for a character which I do not fit the description of just so it goes viral and people who like authenticity will attack it and people who are lunatics who are happy to butcher everyone's work will push it.
I'd feel very used if I were a black actor or actress.
And they put me in this role.
Just so it becomes some big viral hit that people get curious about and want to see.
And I feel like that's been done.
With Anne Boleyn.
With The Little Mermaid. I feel like that's why it's done.
And that's a very cheap way to use black actors.
And I don't like it.
So no, I think they should replace the Juliet with a white actress, but of course they won't because now everyone will go insane.
You can't do that now.
Burn myself. Hi Tristan, I'm a Romanian. What do you think about the future of immigration for Europe in regards to Romania?
I feel...
I can speak about countries as a bloc.
Poland, Romania, Hungary.
Let's take those three, for example.
I feel the EU is going to have a very tricky time selling immigration to us in the Balkans and in Eastern Europe.
And I'll tell you why.
I don't believe that the over use of immigration and the excessive flooding of countries like Germany and England and France can happen here.
Because I feel that people won't stand for it.
A lot of these people are bringing crime.
A lot of these people are bringing diseases and violence.
Whatever religion they are and whatever country they're from, many of them, most of them from the sub-Saharan African countries are uneducated.
They don't go to school. They don't know how to properly behave and interact with members of the opposite sex.
And I feel like countries like Sweden, England, Germany, France have really shot themselves in the foot.
By trying immigration again.
I think immigration worked when people from the former British Empire were coming.
The Indians, the Jamaicans, they aspired to British values.
They wanted to be British.
Their teachers were British. They spoke the language.
They had a special place in their heart for the royal family, for London, which was their capital when they were growing up.
And they showed up and everything was fine.
They became lawyers. They became doctors.
They became shopkeepers.
They became businessmen. No, the people who are coming across in rubber dinghies now are not doctors.
They're not scholars. They're not rocket scientists.
They're not going to be the backbone of Britain.
These men coming across in rubber dinghies are very dangerous.
And how do I feel it's going to affect Romania?
So I, as a man who's lived in Eastern Europe for the last 10 years, have seen the changes.
I've seen it. Seeing a black person or a brown person of any type in Romania eight years ago was exceptionally rare, and now it's becoming relatively commonplace.
You know, in France, the Frenchmen have lost their backbone ever since 1815.
If anyone knows that date, type it in the chat.
Since 1815, a lot of Frenchmen have lost their spine and lost their backbone.
Germans lost their backbone in 1945.
And... I think what's happened in countries like France is, it was very easy to psy-op the people.
It was very easy to say to the white Frenchman, who is French, don't worry, this guy from the Ivory Coast Republic, he's French too.
Part of our empire, speaks the French language, likes France, he's French too.
I'm not even saying that he's wrong.
He's not ethnically and racially a French man, but he comes from a French society and a French culture and he was ruled by France.
It's the same in England. We take people like even my friends of mine, like Marcel, whose grandparents came to England from Jamaica.
They came from the British Empire of Jamaica.
So Marcel may be a black man and he may not be ethnically British or ethnically white English.
However, he is a British person and British people like myself.
And I'm mixed race too. I'm half black myself.
And we're all accepted as British people because of the way England was set up and the way France was set up in this big empirical system with its empire and its various colonies and our language being spread everywhere.
It's going to be a very difficult sell To the Hungarians.
It's going to be very difficult to tell Hungarians that people from Syria...
You see where I'm going?
There's never been Hungary.
Arguably, there are parts of the world in Slovakia and Romania that the Hungarians live that aren't Hungary.
But Syria isn't one of them.
Sierra Leone isn't one of them.
Somalia isn't one of them.
And it's going to be very, very difficult to convince the Hungarian man that these Somali men, who speak English at best, certainly not Hungarian, are the new Hungarians.
And it's going to be very, very tricky to convince the Romanians that these people from the Democratic Republic of the Congo are the new Romanians.
They're just as Romanian as you.
Romania has never been set up as an empire.
It's never had foreign colonies.
It's never had any interest or doings in Africa.
Obviously, people say white people are evil.
They went to Africa, did X, Y, and Z. The Hungarians, the Romanians, the Slovaks, the Poles did precisely none of this ever.
And I feel like it's going to be a very difficult sell to convince the Polish that That the blacks and brown people who are ethnically different from them, from other parts of the world who don't know their language, are the new Poles.
Yeah. It's going to be very difficult.
And I also believe that the moment something bad happens...
I don't feel these nations are going to stand for it.
If something like a rape gang was uncovered, if something like a murder was committed or rape was committed or a few people who weren't I believe there would be serious backlash.
I mean serious violent backlash.
And I don't necessarily believe that the authorities will care that much.
They may well look the other way.
It's going to be a very tricky situation.
My advice is very simple.
Immigration can work as long as the people coming to the country have a healthy respect for the country.
So what I would say is, if you are a migrant moving to any country, Romania, Hungary, Poland, any of these countries in particular, move there with good intentions.
Don't break any laws.
Don't commit crimes and be a good person.
That's what I did.
I found myself in jail anyway.
But I think all migrants should respect the country that they move to 100%, just as I respect the countries that I'm a guest in 100%.
So we're going to find out very soon what I think of immigration in Romania.
I just hope no one does anything stupid here.
I hope no one here does anything bad.
I mean, I'm a foreigner and I'm accused of crimes here in Romania.
But luckily, luckily, the Romanians see me as one of their own because I've been here a very long time.
And luckily, the Romanians know that certain people within certain authorities are happy to set you up and steal all your money if you're an influential person.
So I'm seen as more remaining than ever now.
You know, the Romanians used to say to me, oh, don't drive cars that are too expensive and don't show off too much.
You know, here there are some people who could attack you and take your stuff and make problems for you.
I was like, bro, I'm not Romanian.
It's not gonna happen to me.
I'm fine. And now that they've attacked me in this way, I feel more Romanian than ever.
So, yeah, respect the laws of the country that you're moving to.
Do we have any more good questions?
Thank you for the phrase close but no cigar and where it originated from.
I already knew that because I know almost everything.
More rest in peace, Shaggy.
I feel morally obligated to donate because of my $2.4 million win inside of the real world.
I appreciate you reposting my win.
The re-find G on X. Yeah, I actually had the professors and the team dig into you a little bit and make sure that you're a $2.5 million...
The merger acquisition deal that you did from knowledge learned inside the real world was legit.
And it was legit. And I then reposted it.
So it's absolutely awesome that a young man like yourself can, you know, learn the business skills we teach inside the real world and end up as a multimillionaire at such a young age.
Credit to you. Join the real world.
There's a link below. I think it's absolutely awesome.
Every time I hear these success stories, it makes me just want to keep talking and keep going.
I mean, obviously we've been attacked in lots of ways.
You know, they've Had journalists join and leave and say, I was a member and I found it this way.
On my X account, there's page after page after page of wins from people inside the real world.
Just pages of wins.
People who've made millions, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or just thousands.
And they can't stop that.
They cannot stop... The real, genuine members of the real world from making money and from winning.
And there's big things happening with the real world.
It is the future.
It's going to continue to grow and expand.
And no matter what anybody does, I don't think it could possibly be stopped.
So, good luck.
University.com. You know where to find us.
Hi, Tristan. What do you think about how Saddam Hussein ran Iraq?
See, I like questions like this.
I really like questions like this.
I find them incredibly interesting.
I'll tell you how Saddam Hussein ran Iraq.
Americans were very easy to sigh up.
They're not easy to sigh up anymore.
I feel like America's waking up.
But they were very easy to sigh up.
He had brown skin.
He had a thick mustache.
He was a Muslim. You say he's a terrorist and he's a bad guy and he's got weapons of mass destruction.
Sure, let's send our young men to go and die in Iraq and kill a million innocent Iraqis.
Yeah, sure, absolutely. See, that was the American mindset in the late 2000s.
Sorry, in the early 2000s.
What's happened now, as I said, free speech, knowledge, information, Americans have become a lot more worldly, a lot more switched on.
People like Muammar Gaddafi, who was killed recently, Americans now understand that there was no reason for him to be killed and his country to be destabilized.
And I'll talk briefly about Saddam Hussein and what I think about him.
Did Saddam Hussein do some evil shit?
Yes. That's the answer.
Yes, he did do some evil shit.
Did Saddam Hussein lock up all of his political opponents and keep them in prison indefinitely for no reason?
Without trial or charge?
Yes, he did. But let me tell you something else about Saddam Hussein.
Saddam Hussein was Iraqi to his core.
You cut him, he bled Iraq.
His bones were Iraq.
He knew his country.
I don't know Iraq.
Americans don't know Iraq.
And none of us know how to govern Iraq.
Proven by the fact that America have had a hand in Iraq's politics ever since the invasion, and Iraq has turned to shit.
I feel like Saddam Hussein knew his own country.
So just as a very quick example, yes, he kept a bunch of political prisoners.
He kept a bunch of people who he said were dangerous.
And he said, these people against the regime, they're crazy.
I need to lock them up.
Listen, America, I know you don't understand.
You don't have people like this here.
These people are insane and I've locked them up because they're dangerous.
America's like, well, there's no trial.
You just locked them up.
You shouldn't do that as if America doesn't do that.
Yeah, Julian Assange once again.
Well, They got rid of Saddam Hussein, didn't they?
And they released all these innocent people who were not found guilty of any crime.
Turns out, all those people were ISIS. And they formed ISIS. I don't even like calling it ISIS, because I don't believe it is an Islamic state.
I believe the people of ISIS to be barbarians.
And when they were released from Saddam Hussein's prisons, they started chopping people's heads off and burning people at the stake.
So maybe, just maybe, Saddam Hussein, who was born in Iraq, lived in Iraq, ruled Iraq, knew everything about Iraq, knew how to run Iraq better than a bunch of white Americans who don't know shit about Iraq, who couldn't point to Iraq on a fucking map.
Yeah, I believe Saddam Hussein should have been left in power.
I believe Hosni Mubarak should have been left in power in Egypt.
I believe that Muammar Gaddafi should have been left in power in Libya.
I believe that these people should have been left to run their own countries.
Because they understand their country better than people in the West.
The West can't comprehend the mind of the Taliban-y Afghan.
They can't comprehend the mind of the Iraqi man, the ISIS militant.
They can't. And it just didn't work out.
Every time America has reared its ugly head in the Middle East and used its hand and its puppet strings to destabilize a country, nothing has got better.
Sure, under Saddam Hussein you had political prisoners, but do you know how many car bombings you had during his entire presidency?
Zero. Not one.
Would I trade Saddam Hussein back in power to bring back to life the one million people injured and killed in this unjust invasion, in this unjust war?
Yes. Yes, I would.
And I guess I'll use my last couple of minutes to give a shout out to George Galloway.
Because my first ever notion of knowing who George Galloway was, I was maybe 16 years of age, and he was speaking against...
The war in Iraq. Him and some very old members of Parliament in England who were alive during World War II were making very good points.
The British used to say, oh, London can take it.
Bombing us strengthens our resolve.
And there were men in the UK Parliament House who were old enough to remember that rhetoric from World War II and to say, well, does bombing not strengthen their resolve?
Why are they different to us? Do they not love their children and their country too?
And George Galloway spoke against this.
Now, me and George Galloway will disagree on loads of shit.
Immigration, for one.
Yeah, I think me and George Galloway would have a lot of disagreements.
However, I'm glad he's there in the House of Parliament.
I'm glad he is there because what he has done is he has upset the establishment, the established order, That has taken the reins in the UK and disguises itself as different political parties, Labour and Conservative, when they're all ideologically the same who take money from the same people.
George Galloway is a maverick in there to upset the established order.
So adding a little bit of chaos can't be a bad thing.
Thank God for democracy and God bless George Galloway.
Godspeed, sir. And I wish you the very best in your career in British politics.
