Starting point is 00:00:00 Recently in Ireland there was a very serious attack on a man, left him scarred, brutally injured, and this triggered riots. The riots that we saw in Ireland are not unique because we see them all across Europe as there's a wave of migrant crime. And interestingly enough, we get this, I guess you call it a B movie, Citizen Vigilante, going viral about a man who's finally fed up with corrupt judges, police officers, and generally just the crime. So he decides to seek out justice.
Starting point is 00:00:28 Now, this film was banned in Germany. I would say they wouldn't give it a rating because it was encouraging violence against migrants. So Elon Musk on X posted it for free. And now there's rumors. Oh, we got to do a second. You got to do a sequel. It's the big return of Army Hammer. The question is, why is there so much interest in this B film showing a guy just kind of snapping and saying,
Starting point is 00:00:51 I'm going to get justice for these people? It's because there is a very serious problem we have seen in the United States, is invigorated people to vote for Donald Trump and support his administration on the issue of immigration. And we see something similar in Europe. And there are a lot of questions about why this has been happening.
Starting point is 00:01:08 And of course, there are a lot of theories. Now, we here in America, you guys watch Tim Castaira. We can talk to you about it all day and night because we're from here. But to better understand what's happening in Europe, and particularly Ireland, we're going to be talking with a gentleman here
Starting point is 00:01:19 who can explain this in greater detail. Plus, I have a million and one questions about how does Ireland come to this point of all places with such a strong, I guess nationalist identity considering the history. It's very interesting to see we're at a point where migrants are being brought in. We're seeing this crime and it seems the government isn't doing anything to stop it, but rather encourage it. So on this special episode of Timcast, Iyer, I hope you guys are enjoying the holiday weekend and having a good time. We're going to get into
Starting point is 00:01:45 the nitty-gritty of what's currently happening in Europe and talk about the issues that affects us as well as it pertains to immigration.

Starting point is 00:02:38 Thanks for having me, Tim. Beautiful studio. Thank you, thank you. I appreciate it. I appreciate it. Well, who are you? What do you do? Well, I'm an Irish political commentator.
Starting point is 00:02:48 Basically, what I do is I take footage out of Europe, and I comment on it, clips that might be spread around. and I just show it to a wider public. That's kind of it, you know. I take short clips, I'll stitch it together with a bit of commentary, and I post it on Instagram, Facebook, and X. So you're a journalist. I would call myself a journalist?
Starting point is 00:03:15 Some people would. I don't see myself as a journalist. I think it's because the word journalist is an insult these days, almost. Almost, yeah. We expect journalists to be propagandists for the state. Spawn on. Yeah. But this is what journalism was always supposed to be.
Starting point is 00:03:31 Yeah. You're collecting these videos as information. You're sharing it with people. Yeah. And it's maybe you can call it like an editorial for, the equivalent I would say is like an editorial or a columnist for a larger media organization. But we don't live in that world anymore because all of these corporate news outlets are just lying. about everything all the time.
Starting point is 00:03:55 They use ridiculous tricks to reframe what really happened. They don't tell you who the criminal is. I'll tell you this. In one instance in Sweden, there was a, I think it was like a murder or something or a violent attack. They blurred the skin of the individual
Starting point is 00:04:11 and then digitally altered the pixels to be white. Oh my. Isn't that shocking? That's how crazy it's got. Yeah. Should be illegal to do stuff like that. I mean, in the United States,
Starting point is 00:04:23 States, it's a double-edged sort of of the First Amendment. Yeah. Newspapers are allowed to lie. You have a right to say what your opinion is. A government can't regulate that. But it is... I don't know about Sweden. Basically, the mainstream news would be
Starting point is 00:04:37 a propaganda wing of just, I would say, elite society a lot of the time. You see, and the problem with Ireland, Ireland's worse than most places because we have a regulator called commission a man. And that
Starting point is 00:04:53 funds most news outlets in Ireland. So you have local newspapers getting funded by it. You have the big newspapers getting funded by it. This is all state funding. Wow. It's yeah. So that's interestingly, I mean, everyone knows about the BBC. Yeah. We actually had, um, we have the corporation for public broadcasting in the United States. Yeah. It's this creepy thing they set up. I'll just give a surface level on this one. It seems like a lot of the, a lot of like Western nations, have created the state-funded propaganda machine. For you guys, it's more overt. Like, you have a government-funded machine.
Starting point is 00:05:31 Is it, let me say this. About America, most people don't know that Congress would, for a long time, give money to something called the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which would then disperse that money to a bunch of smaller news outlets, public radio, NPR, PBS, things like that.
Starting point is 00:05:47 People would then believe that these news outlets were funded just by donations. Is that similar in Ireland? 100%. This commission man, it was set up, I think, in 2020. So it's relatively new. And it just, it has lots of grants.
Starting point is 00:06:04 Like, I think it's the local democracy grants and all this other stuff, where it just literally spreads money out to these local newspapers and big newspapers. So essentially what you have is you have media outlets in Ireland that would be almost afraid to go against the government or the state in case those grants are pulled back and not given out. Wow.
Starting point is 00:06:29 Yeah. And it's, you know, I would also, I would also assume that the people running these newspapers are ideologically aligned with the government's interests. Yeah, yeah. That's the other side of it. Most of these people, I don't know, would you call them the journalist class? They're all, you could say they're all one big group. It's like we have gripped who don't take those grants that are outside that.
Starting point is 00:06:52 last week, this is how bad it is. They asked, they're on the press, they're in the press. So they asked politicians a question and the politicians go, oh, I'm not answering questions from GRIPT. What is it? What is the grip? Yeah, G-R-I-T. That's how deep it goes. You have politicians, even though they're asked the question, they just won't answer it. They'll refuse to answer it because it's GRIFT. Well, so I just, I pulled up your, your Instagram. Of course, a million followers. You've got videos with, here's one with 15 million views. Yeah. You've got, you get hundreds of thousands posting by these things. Yeah. Have you been threatened in any way or is there any? From the government or people or...
Starting point is 00:07:36 You know, I would just say, and obviously like left aligned wackos are probably going to threaten you. Oh yeah, the whole time. Last week they were... You're probably used to it too. Oh, yeah. Just last week there were people putting out videos complaining about things I said basically on a video and all the comments were tagging the police being like we need to investigate this guy why does he still have an account yeah has any has there have there been any higher level threats or no the only time that they might have said something
Starting point is 00:08:13 was in our parliament's called the doll and I set up a go fund me for the protesters back in April so people were protesting the right rising fuel prices. So set up a go-fund me. It raised $150,000 just to feed, yeah, feed protesters around the country and keep this thing going. But the left were angry at that. So a few people, her name's Ruth Coppinger,
Starting point is 00:08:39 was in parliament in the Dahl era and saying, we need to get this shut down. Do people know who he is? You know, we need to... Wow. It is pretty wild that they don't know who you are. Yeah. Right.
Starting point is 00:08:52 I mean, you're massive platform. I imagine you've got other platforms too. It's a, yeah. You're getting a ton of views on this stuff. You, like, I feel, you know, I'm on, I go on Instagram and I see your posts all the time. Yeah. And obviously there's a, I watch them. And so then the algorithm says, show him more of this or whatever.
Starting point is 00:09:07 But it's because it's interesting. And I think you, you're, like, you've got a quick wit and you make funny points, but you also highlight a real problem. Yeah. So it's surprising to me that they aren't aware of who you are with a platform this big. Yeah. They're definitely, I say they're definitely aware anyways, because even Simon Harris, the Taoiseach, I would do a video. So this is, this is, they, they blocked me on some platforms like these people and I would have never interacted with them.
Starting point is 00:09:32 But what happens is I do a video. Simon Harris, there was a case where a child had scoliosis. His name was Harvey. And he went without treatment for a long time. And our deputy prime minister basically said, oh, you know, we'll treat him all that, but he didn't. He ignored the parents. Harvey ended up dying.
Starting point is 00:09:56 Did a video on it. And what would happen then is that video, everyone would grab the link and spam it at your man who was involved. And they'll end up blocking me because, you know. Oh, interesting. Yeah. So a few. So I have so many questions about Ireland.
Starting point is 00:10:14 I think we should. We'll start from the beginning, I mean, because we're already, we're diving into. Clearly right now, I think most people in the United States are aware of this, like, migrant issue because you had this man brutally, brutally attacked. Yeah, he was beheaded, yeah. He was beheaded? No, nearly, right, his eyes are, I mean, this is horrifying. And this is, the interesting thing about this is, this is Belfast. This is Northern Ireland.
Starting point is 00:10:34 Yeah. Where are you from? Are you from? Galway, the West. So is that Ireland, Ireland, Ireland, not Northern Ireland? Ireland. Ireland. I think, it's all Ireland, Ireland, Ireland.
Starting point is 00:10:43 Exactly, right? But for Americans, I don't think they know where Belfast is. I don't think, but this is what was really interesting to me. I went to Belfast maybe like seven years ago. And what does that do? The big bonfires? What is that? What is that?
Starting point is 00:11:00 It's like bonfire night or something. What do they call that? Yeah, that's the, you could say it's the loyalist. It's the union. Yes, they kind of just set a big bonfire. It's to set, like, they do it as. It's kind of insane. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:13 like a 300 foot tall of wood pallets and they burned it. It's so hot. The ground, like the asphalt boils. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think it's a show of force and strength, you know. But that's what's interesting is I went there and a friend of mine was showing me around. He showed me the peace wall, which is what was like separated the Protestants and the Catholics or something like this.
Starting point is 00:11:35 And one side was pro-Palestine, one side's pro-Israel. Oh, yeah. And so he made a funny point to me. He said it's interesting how with the E. basically you can freely move, you know, between Northern and Ireland and Northern Ireland without issue, even though it's only something like 30 years ago, not even, where you still had violence. So I'm seeing all this migrant stuff and I'm like, how did we get to the point where a nation that was fighting for unity and for sovereignty is now, and I believe it's the party and the
Starting point is 00:12:09 faction that we're fighting for Irish identity are now the ones inviting in the nation. non-Irish to take the Irish land. Yeah, yeah. What happened? Essentially, yeah, Sinn Féin, it would be Sinn Féin who were gone completely woke. But they've been woke for a lot of people. If you go to protest now in Ireland, a lot of them would be chanting Sinn Féin are traitors because Sinn Féin were the nationalist party, you know.
Starting point is 00:12:33 And they were back in the early 1900s, they would have been kind of to decide, they weren't involved in the rising, the 1960s rising, but they were. were there and they took it, they took the energy afterwards and they went with it. So they were nationalists back then, but after during, I suppose, the late 1960s when the troubles in the north happened, they started becoming woke. You know, they looked at the civil rights movement in America and they started using that same kind of talking points and moral of philosophy and brought it into their struggle in the north. And that's where it kind of comes from.
Starting point is 00:13:17 And then, like, you go back to 2004, we had a birthright citizenship referendum. So we had birthright citizenship. And the government, what happened to a lot of foreign people were coming in and having children. So the government decided, let's put it to a vote. Do people want this or don't they want it? Oh, wow. 80% vote, they don't want it.
Starting point is 00:13:38 But even back then, Sinn Féin, which is the national. Nationalist Party voted they wanted to keep it. And you listened to their talks back then. They were talking about anti-racism. They were talking about discriminated. This is before it was even, you know, a thing I would consider it. They were really left wing. And people are still, people still tie them to, you know, a nationalist movement.
Starting point is 00:14:03 But it's far from that. Yeah, it's the opposite. Yeah, it's brits out, everyone else in. It's like, is that even? Yeah. it's strange. Were they economically leftist, like communist, Marxist? Basically, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Always have been? Always have been, yeah. They've all kind of, I don't know, they've all, the main parties now all align economically, basically. They're just a bit ideologically. Are they even ideologically different? I wouldn't even thinking about it. I wouldn't say so.
Starting point is 00:14:40 They're very similar in their beliefs. They're both left socially, and they're both kind of central left economically. You know what's really fascinating about your country right now is that there is still some, I guess, feigning of Irish nationalism. Yeah. Right? This is what we're talking about.
Starting point is 00:15:03 When I went there in Northern Ireland, there was graffiti in Gaelic, I think. That would have been? I'm not... Is that what it's called? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I asked my friend, like... I was like, I understand this is probably like Irish language, and he was explaining, like,
Starting point is 00:15:19 yeah, it's basically someone graffeted something in the effect of the British out, Ireland, for the Irish, something like that. And I was just thinking it's very interesting how you can have people that are going to graffiti that. But at the same time, they're going to be like, oh, yeah, but we can bring Somalians. can bring in, you know, whatever migrants from whatever, and then this country is not actually for the Irish people. But do, this is, it's so paradoxical, it makes no sense to me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:46 It's, it's so, it's so wrong because their whole, like Sinn Féin, I suppose for the longest time, have all been about a united Ireland. So get the six counties to the north back. But people's opinion on immigration is largely, they want it limited. People aren't, there's a, it's a minority that are in favor of. of the amount of immigration that are coming in. So here you have Sinn Féin that are standing there saying, you know, there's no problem,
Starting point is 00:16:17 there's no issue with immigration, let them all come in, which goes against the popular opinion, which will defy people about, you know, having a United Ireland. This is Sinn Féin's opinion. Why do you want to support Sinn Féin, you know? Plus it also makes no sense that why do you want them out? you know, if you're saying everybody else
Starting point is 00:16:39 in, and you want to United Ireland, why do you want to United Ireland? Is it because you want Ireland for Irish people? Yeah. Or what's the other reason? How do you describe the difference between the people, like the Northern Irish and the Irish?
Starting point is 00:16:55 Like how would, you know? Yeah, I suppose it goes back to, I suppose it goes back to the plantations in the 1600s where you had Scottish, Scottish Presbyterians brought in by the English, about 100,000 of them were planted in the north. And from that point on, you had a large Protestant community in the north.
Starting point is 00:17:22 And over time, they became very, they're very in favour of having a British Ireland. What happened is we used to have the King, of Ireland, which was a part of the British Empire, then it joined a union in 1801. And from that then, they were happy the Presbyterians up in the north. Then we got our independence. They felt attacked. They knew that sooner or later we're looking for their 32 counties back, and then, you know, they feel threatened. More aligned with staying part of the United Kingdom?
Starting point is 00:18:03 Big time, yeah, yeah. So there was a video I saw. where, with these riots going on, with this brutal attack on this man, someone said, I remember how they described it. It was just like, you know, the Irish and the Northern Irish or whatever, they're like cheering for each other. And it's weird to see because they were like, with these big protests, there are people outside of Northern Ireland in Ireland that are waving Irish flags and cheering for the Irish and Northern Ireland now because they all feel attacked in both places by this migrant influx. And I'm sitting here thinking, like, you know, you have the troubles. did the government say, I know how to end this,
Starting point is 00:18:36 let's give them a unified enemy and bring in a bunch of people that everybody will hate. Now they're cheering for each other. Yeah, imagine. Yeah. It would be, you know, a common enemy. It does make sense.
Starting point is 00:18:49 No, like, it's interesting because, like, Sinn Féin, it doesn't, it's, it boggles my mind because on one stage, you have 400 years later, you have still, an ethnic divide in the land because 100,000 migrants were planted. Wow.
Starting point is 00:19:10 And that speaks to a bigger issue of, you know, can a different ethnic people get on and can they integrate? This is, this is, this is it right here. Yeah. You have, everybody knows about the troubles. Yeah. There's music about it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:29 There's, I mean, the song, Zombie by Cranberries is. billions of views, platinum multi times over. Even children who weren't alive in the 90s, who are, you know, Gen Z born in 2000, they know the words. And it's so ingrained this song is that they don't even know what the words are about. They just know that you hear the song.
Starting point is 00:19:50 It's on all the time. And the core of it is, 100,000 people were brought in of a different culture. Spot on. And it resulted in how many years of, a hundred years, It was in the 1600s.
Starting point is 00:20:06 Hundreds of years of violence. Hundreds of years, yeah. It largely stopped in the 90s with the Good Friday Agreement. Right. That was 1998, right? 1998, yeah. When I went to Belfast, and you'll have to correct me,
Starting point is 00:20:20 because I only had a cursory tour of this. Someone showed me like a memorial for some guys, and there was like a painting or something, like a mirror on a wall. And he's explained to me the people of Northern Ireland celebrate these men
Starting point is 00:20:34 who went to Ireland and massacred civilians something that effect and it was like during the troubles they went in and there was an attack and they killed civilians they got killed
Starting point is 00:20:46 and it was considered an attack against the oppressors or something like that and then it gets to this day they're still celebrating this the craziest thing about it is to an American most of them don't even understand
Starting point is 00:20:58 the difference between Northern Ireland and Ireland but when you look Look, are you familiar with Dearborn, Michigan? I've heard of this. Don't know. So, Michigan, of course, you know, is a state. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:08 There's a massive Muslim enclave. When you go there, a lot of people don't speak English. Yeah. The stores are all in Arabic. Yeah. And you'll get along mostly fine. You know, you'll show up there. But it very, very much is a serious enclave of, you know, I don't even know the population size,
Starting point is 00:21:25 but it's very large. There's been issues of female circumcision. It's illegal. and there's Sharia patrols. So they're de facto non-police, but they argue we're only enforcing against our community as we all agree, but we know what this turns into.
Starting point is 00:21:44 You tell the story of, you know, you bring in 100,000 migrants hundreds of years ago with Donald Trump, with Trump winning with the immigration enforcement, I can only imagine there's a strong possibility not just with something like Dearborn, but the Somali community in Minnesota. that if you get a MAGAM movement that is ascendant,
Starting point is 00:22:04 just like you were saying, they felt sooner or later was going to be them, but they're going to be targeted when Iron got its independence. If you get a massive right-wing populist movement and then the right just begins dominating all these elections, these groups are going to start saying, okay, it's time to use force to defend ourselves
Starting point is 00:22:22 or something in effect. I'll give you an example. Zoran Mamdani, I'm sure you've heard of him. We just had a ruling at our Supreme Court that temporary protected status is like we can deport these people now. So Haiti was granted this protected status in 2010 because of the earthquake.
Starting point is 00:22:40 16 years later, why do we still give it to them? Then we have Syrian refugees because of the Civil War. That's 2012. That's over. And so our Supreme Court said, Trump can deport them if he wants. It's his purview. So the mayor of New York said,
Starting point is 00:22:54 effectively, we are going to resist the federal government to protect these people in our home. Yeah. But we're getting this all over the country. And, and, you know, maybe it's just, uh, in the, in the short term, we don't have to worry about it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:09 But you, when we look to, uh, how crazy it got for you guys. Yeah. I'm, I'm worried that, uh, look, these, these, the people up here, they have lots of kids, you know? And they, and they, and they, and they, and what happens is, if you bring in, uh, if you get to that tipping point where the majority, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, of voters are saying more migrants. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:31 The dam has broken. Because now every year, they're going to bring in more people who agree with them, and you will lose voting power every year you can never get back. 10, 20 years later, it's just 80, 90% migrant saying, we are a different nation from you. You lose your country.
Starting point is 00:23:48 It's a problem with democracy, you know. It is a public vote, and if you change the demographics, like if you have a place that, is planted with Muslims or Syrians, whichever, they're going to vote for the Syrian who runs. And like that, it speaks to something greater, but everyone's afraid to address it.
Starting point is 00:24:15 You know, no one's addressing, right, what happens when demographics change? Yeah. Like, is it in Ireland's best interest to bring in people, hundreds of thousands of people from elsewhere, elsewhere. Like Northern Ireland, the Ulster Presbyterians, they're not so different from our own, you know, yet look at the consequence. Right. It's actually kind of scary. Yeah. How if like, again, to an American, there's no functional difference. Yeah. And now you tell them then they're, you know. Yeah, if you say that to them, they'll be like. But to us, like, if, you know, if someone from Belfast and someone
Starting point is 00:24:58 from Dublin were both here at the same time. They'd be like, Ireland. Americans wouldn't really know. Yeah, yeah. Now, if you brought in, you know, a Somali who was born in Belfast and a guy from Dublin, they're going to be like, no. Of course. Something different here.
Starting point is 00:25:11 Yeah, yeah. Different people. Yeah. And even the migrants who come in here and they say they integrate and they're assimilate, there was won a Somali girl and she won the Rose of Dublin. So we have a competition. It's like a beauty kind of contest. mixed with like how nice you are.
Starting point is 00:25:31 It's like it's the rose of three. It's an odd one. A Somali girl one? A Somali girl one of in Dublin. And everyone like the media, all that stuff, you know, she's Irish. That's the way it's done. She was on TikTok and she ran a marathon. And she said she was celebrating.
Starting point is 00:25:53 She said she's seen her Somali sisters smiling and celebrating her. and she went over. She never lived in Somalia, yet she feels connected. People pretend as if there isn't a connection beyond, you know, citizenship or where you're born. Why does she feel connected to her Somali sisters
Starting point is 00:26:15 more so than her maybe Irish community? Because she's Somali. Isn't it just so silly in this modern era? You look at the world. Every country, Every single one outside of Europe is an ethno state. Yeah. Japan is, Japan's an interesting story right now.
Starting point is 00:26:35 I don't know. Have you read anything about what's going on with Japan and migration? Not so much. I know she got in with a mandate that she'd stop it, but I don't know if she's following true with it. Is she? So it's interesting, but the population collapse is a big reason why countries are starting to freak out. And so Japan has a bunch of cities that are becoming abandoned.
Starting point is 00:26:57 there's not enough young people. And so what happens is the older generation, they got no problem hanging out. Hey, they all like Star Trek the next generation. They remember 1989. I love that show, right? But if you were born in 2000 and everyone around you was old,
Starting point is 00:27:10 you've got no one to talk to. So they're moving to Tokyo, which is a man, Tokyo is insanely big. So the government now is as interesting is a lot of these houses, like five to ten bedroom houses sell for like, you know, $50,000 to $60,000 U.S.,
Starting point is 00:27:23 which would be a million dollars. to an American. They're trying to entice foreigners start buying these things up. Right. The interesting point about it, and we can get into the, that's in a second, but the point in this regard is Japan's an ethno state, and the conflict right now is there are a lot of traditional Japanese saying, we do not want even white people, guijin, coming into our country.
Starting point is 00:27:48 You look at China. I mean, if you're a foreigner, it's all very difficult. And then you look at Europe and you look at the United States and they're like, we're not a real country. What do they say? Anybody could be Irish. Oh, it's terrible. How disrespectful to.
Starting point is 00:28:04 And these are the people who say they love the country. And they'd sooner call. So they have a stick. Like they're left in Ireland, have a stick with Irish Americans, with Irish ancestry. And you see it like, I was on the plane over here
Starting point is 00:28:18 and I was looking at an American couple. Red hair, looked like someone you'd see, you know, your cousin or, someone you'd see in Ireland, probably ethnically very linked to Ireland. And they would sooner deny them their heritage and say they're not Irish.
Starting point is 00:28:38 And then say the Somali who came in five years ago got citizenship, they're as Irish as the next person. I think I might have remembered the, what was it called the Rose of Ireland story? Rose three, yeah. I think I may have saw that where it's like some commentary
Starting point is 00:28:55 was like, this woman's not Irish. And it's not meant to be mean to the person. Of course not, no. But could you imagine if like you went to Japan and like this is the most Japanese man we've ever saw I'm just like a tall white guy with blue eyes? Yeah, it's so different. And it would be so disrespectful for the Japanese.
Starting point is 00:29:12 If I walked around and said, I'm Japanese. They'd be like, no, you're not. And you'll never will be. I'd be like, no, I'm as Japanese as you. You know what I mean? You know, it's really funny. It's a, if you, if in like the woke air of the United States, yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:28 If, if this ideology is so nonsensical and cult-like, they will say, oh, this young Somali girl is Irish. In the United States. Yeah. So, so actually, let me ask you this, this young woman, and I'm not trying to be mean to or anything, but she, she speaks English with an Irish accent, I would imagine. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:49 If you came to the United States and went on TV and talk a record dish and say, I am a Chinese. They'd ban you. They would, how dare you? 100% yeah. It's so weird. It is weird.
Starting point is 00:29:59 And then you have a Somali girl. I mean, what if you were like, no, I'm from Beijing, I talk a wreck at this? That's just me. They,
Starting point is 00:30:06 you know, they wouldn't, they wouldn't care if it was, if it was true. They'd just say, no, it's offensive to people, so you can't.
Starting point is 00:30:12 Yeah. And it'd be so strange to see. You'd be like, what the hell, what am I looking at? But the way Europe and the West is gone, they're trying to destroy. And I, you know,
Starting point is 00:30:22 your national identity and a people. You know, the Irish as a people, as a nation, instead they're trying to make it, you know, the state has control over who it represents, rather than the people having control over who the state represents. You guys got a rough go of it. I mean, how many hundreds of years have they been trying to destroy the Irish identity for?
Starting point is 00:30:44 Yeah, yeah. Normans came in the 12th century, so you're talking 800 years. You know what I will say, though, is if there's one thing you've got behind you, is that you've survived 800 years. Yeah, yeah. But the demographic change happening now is unlike anything. Like, you're talking about the plantations of Ulster happen over, you know, decades,
Starting point is 00:31:09 and that's 100,000. Yeah. We've had, it's like 600,000 people come in the last since 2020, you know? You know, I wonder about this. We saw the King's. Charles went to Canada because most people don't know this, he's the king of Canada. And I think technically, like, I think even though the Commonwealth countries all consider, they're all, I think, legally distinct sovereign order. I believe he's the king of like Australia, New Zealand and
Starting point is 00:31:35 all the same or whatever. And then he did a land acknowledgement. Did you see this? No. Yeah, he, he, the King Charles goes to Canada and he's addressing parliament. He's like, before we begin, I just want to say we are on the conceded territory of the, uh, on a she beg people. which is like the weird thing for a king to say. Yeah. Like, we recognize that this land is an illegal occupation of the... Ridiculous, isn't that? So one of the things that has come up from that is
Starting point is 00:32:04 the king is viewed as woke. Yeah. And pro-Islam. And I can't help but wonder if... I hear from people all the time they say, oh, he has no power, he has no authority. He's a figurehead. And I'm like, I don't believe that.
Starting point is 00:32:18 No. I don't believe that a royal family with dedicated and loyal followers and resources simply just gives up their ambitions. And I'm not saying that they control the world or the most powerful in the world, but they're a powerful family with political ambitions. And also, you know, they say he has no power, but the king could dissolve parliament if he wanted to. And they're like, oh, but it would be a political disaster. And I'm like, yes, but we're dealing with a political disaster in Europe, in the UK. So part of me wonders if all of this is, you know, the British have been trying to effectively, I don't know, I want to be careful on how I describe it, but they don't like the Irish, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:59 Is this just another politically aligned? This is how we get rid of them for once and for all? Yeah, no, I wouldn't, I wouldn't say so. Like, I actually think England and Ireland now have a great relationship. I know people have past grievances, and there's a lot. of, you know, anger there. But if we actually break down, England and Ireland have been last, you know, since I suppose the 50s, they've been all right to each other. There's not, there's not an, except I suppose with the North. Well, in terms of a lot of Irish went to London and they met a lot of money in London and
Starting point is 00:33:41 they brought home. I know a lot of Irish people that would have had parents or grandparents. grandparents that would have worked in England and then came home later. So there's a relationship there. Plus we have, like, I can travel to England. No problem. An English person can come into Ireland. They don't need a visa.
Starting point is 00:34:02 They don't need any of that stuff. They can just start working if they want to. Wow, really? Yeah. So someone from London can come to Dublin and they get a job? Yeah, no problem. Wow. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:11 And live there. That's like the European Union stuff, though, isn't it? Like Schengen zone or? It's the Anglo-Irish agreement. Oh, okay. I think it was in the 80s, it was signed. And it just means, like, even they can come here and they can get a hospital appointment, I believe, and all that stuff. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:28 So I have a funny story. My whole life, you know, so I'm a quarter Asian. I'm 20% Korean, 5% Japanese. My mom is half. And she said, you know, my dad is German-Irish. And she said, I'm German-Irish and Korean because my mom's dad was. was German-Irish. And so she's like, so you're German-Irish and Korean. Yeah. And then a few years ago, she got a DNA test from like the 23 in me or whatever. Yeah. And then she was like,
Starting point is 00:34:53 here, check it out. You're actually Japanese too. Like, we always, we didn't know that my mom had some Japanese in her, which also has horrifying implications if you know the history of the region. But so, uh... We weren't friends. Yeah. No, we're not. And so I was like, oh, look at that. You know, my mom's actually 10% Japanese. And then she shows me the map. There's a, if you ever do the DNA test, they show you the bubbles of where you are. And she goes, see, look, you've got the Asian, and then you've got the Irish, and she points to London. The circle
Starting point is 00:35:22 is over England. And I said, Mom, that's England. And she goes, well, yeah, Ireland, you know, England. And I's like, no, Mom. And she's like, well, we're, look, Irish, and I said, Mom, that's not Ireland. That's England. That's different. And she's like, no, no, because Ireland is in England. The same thing. And I was like, it's not the same thing. I don't tell them that.
Starting point is 00:35:42 So that's how I found out I was actually part British too. Yeah. But I think that, you know, I, I imagine maybe like at this point the way you describe it, everyone gets along. Everyone gets along. It's still odd people call Ireland British, which is, you know, so strange. What's exactly my mom thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:59 Just like, where's that coming from? Well, it's very different. And, uh, it is different. Yeah, we don't like it either because we are our own people. We are our own nation. But yeah, it's just insane. Like, it's insane what's happening in Europe. America is much the same.
Starting point is 00:36:17 You see a lot of demographic change coming to America too and just seems to be Western countries where facing it. I'm curious because we've obviously entertained a lot of the conspiracy theories. We could look at every nation not having kids. In Africa, they have lots of kids. They used to have more, they still have a lot.
Starting point is 00:36:35 I think it was, you know, if you go back 30 years, they'll have like 12 kids per family. Now it's like five, which is still massive. But you look at almost every other nation, even Islamic nations, despite the fact they do have a high birth rate, it's also very low. Japan's gone. Their birth was like 0.8 Korea, I think, is like 0.3. South Korea is insane. Even China. And so with this low birth rate being so widespread, some people just believe it's a natural tendency due to technology and culture that you don't need to have families anymore. And so people don't. But the other conspiracy is our governments, our elites in the media have intentionally sowed this anti-natalist ideology in people, don't have kids, you don't have kids, don't have sex, all those things, which has resulted in these crises for which they now can't. There's a couple ways to look at it. One is the conspiracy theory is that the Malthusians fearing overpopulation in the 70s sowed this propaganda, like everyone, don't have kids, which created this long-term devastating impact, which is. we can't maintain our economic systems without new people.
Starting point is 00:37:42 Yeah. So one theory is that they're now scrambling to bring in new workers, and they don't care where they come from. Yeah. However, the other side of the conspiracy is that they intentionally wanted to depopulate so they could intentionally bring in mass migration and homogenize all these nations. Do you see, like, do you see any merit to those? Because I would argue that I see probability in them, but I don't know for sure.
Starting point is 00:38:03 Yeah. I always think it's a combination of a lot of things coming together. Everyone always tries to nail it down to one thing. But it is a part of this broader liberal progressive movement. I know with Ireland, like, Ireland's a good example of how it develops. Before the 90s, we were relatively poor. The Catholic Church had a lot of say in Ireland. They had a tight grip around Ireland.
Starting point is 00:38:36 And in the 50s, we practiced like a protective. in this kind of society where our Prime Minister, our Taoiseach, wanted Ireland to be kept Ireland. And it was largely farms that met up the you know, the workforce.
Starting point is 00:38:56 And Ireland started stagnation. It started, it was kind of backwards. Catholic Church had a lot of power again. Fast forward to the 90s. A lot of Irish in that time. emigrate, it's like 400,000 in the 50s left and we had a population of 3 million, like a staggering amount of people left because there was nothing happened in Ireland. It was, it was pace poor.
Starting point is 00:39:20 Grandfather always said, you know, what good old days? There was no such thing as the good old days. Ireland was a very poor country, especially rural Ireland. Then in the 90s, what happens is there's a boom. So the Celtic tiger starts. The Catholic Church. What is that? Celtic Charg Tiger was just a boom of industry.
Starting point is 00:39:44 We had low corporation tax and we opened up to free trade. So a lot of American multinationals, and this was like the IT boom as well, came into Dublin. They're still there today. Most American multinationals have their headquarters in Dublin, which inflates our GDP by a huge amount. It brings us a lot of money. So you had a Celtic tiger boom, which started, Ireland started catching up on the world stage. The Catholic church came out with their, you know, their scandals.
Starting point is 00:40:22 Galway Bishop was found to have fathered a child. A few more things came out. And then it was the, you know, the abuse of children came out. And people were shocked. They were, a lot of people were happy, because finally Catholic Church's grip on society would loosen. So we had an industry boom, open to free trade, globalisation essentially. Catholic Church's power went down.
Starting point is 00:40:55 Then we had people like Chuck Feeney and others pumping billions into NGOs and universities, and those millions would have went into progressive NGOs. So, you know, like gender equality, trans. There's, I have, yeah, like a lot of weird stuff. I have a list. It's just, it's got to, I'm sorry, it's got to be conspiracy, right? It's happening in Ireland, it's happening in America. It's happening in Britain.
Starting point is 00:41:22 It's happening in France and Germany. All these countries. Yeah. Like, look at, like, some of them. And this sets up then later on what ends up creating this, you know, infrastructure where there's a lot of people in the way. that rely on refugees coming in and immigration. We have NGOs like this.
Starting point is 00:41:44 Immigrant Council of Ireland, integrating Ireland, refugee information services, African Women's Network, Irish Council of Civil Liberties, the Gay and Lesbian Equality Network, Lesbian in Cork, Lesbians in Cork, not to be confused with lesbians in Galway. Do you know what I mean? Is that actually a different organization?
Starting point is 00:42:03 No, no. Silly place. Because I mean, why not, right? So all these NGOs employ people and they make a lot of money, they all rely. Like Immigrant Council of Ireland rely on immigrants. If immigrants stop coming in, they lose their job. And the more immigrants that come in, the more funding from the state they get.
Starting point is 00:42:24 A good example of this was the Irish Network against racism. They make their money if there's racism, obviously. If there's no racism, they lose their job. they set up an I report system. The I report system means people can go online and even if they perceive a racism happen or a racist thing, you know, happening, all they have to do is perceive it.
Starting point is 00:42:49 You don't have to even be involved. You can go report it. It was in 2018, I think they had 190 reports. Then they were, basically, there was a video came out of immigrants saying they were like, encouraged to report racism. It rose by 300 to 400 percent. And then that year, they go to the government and they go, look at all this racism. And the government hands them millions.
Starting point is 00:43:18 Are you familiar with the Southern Poverty Law Center in the U.S.? No. We just had a big scandal. There's a group that's called the SPLC. And they put out hate watch. They said Charlie Kirk spread hate. And they put them on these lists. They list all these conservative organizations or Christian organizations. And the big scandal right now is they've been indicted because they were actually funneling money to neo-Nazi groups, white supremacists. They look, you make money off the racism. You need the racism to keep happening. And, you know, I think there was an analysis done in the United States six, seven years ago that we only actually have around 11,000 white supremacists, like overt, you know, flag waving out of 300 some odd
Starting point is 00:44:01 million people. Well, how are you going to make money off a problem so small? Yeah. So they, interestingly enough, they've been accused of helping fund some of the biggest rallies or organize or bring people in. Now they're being criminally charged because our government's calling it fraud. They defrauded the donors. They told the donors, if you give us money, we'll fight this, and then gave money to white supremacists to hold rallies. Yeah. Insane. It's insane, isn't it? So you're creating a system which rewards these things. It's same with the NGOs. We have NGOs on the Mediterranean that bring in refugees.
Starting point is 00:44:38 So refugees just have to set off from the north of Africa in their dinghies. They get us to a certain amount. And then these NGOs ship will pick them up and bring them to Europe. But you see, look at where you just used, refugee. They're not refugees. They're not, no, no, no. Economic migrants. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:57 If that, I would actually, I went to Paris in 2018 and interviewed, I would call some of these people victims. And I went to Athens as well. And I know there's going to be a lot of people who have a visceral reaction to. No, no, no, these people are economic migrants, many of them are criminals. But let me just hear me out. I go to Paris and they have this big inflatable tent, right? It's massive. I don't know if you've ever seen these things they do where to put up a structure to protect from the elements, it's just like plastic.
Starting point is 00:45:25 they pump air and then it inflates and then you can go inside and sit down. It's warm. Yeah. I talked to these guys from sub-Saharan Africa who said they were tricked. They said in their home countries, they were told that France has a program to welcome them, which is technically true, and that they're in desperate need of workers for low-skilled jobs. Right. And so this guy's telling me he's like, they lied to us. They told us to come because we were being invited to the country to come and work.
Starting point is 00:45:50 Yeah. And it's like, and when we show up, they have nothing for us, and we are cold. Yeah. And we want to go home. and now that's weird. Yeah. So in essence, it is true that they are trying to bring them in. There are, in some instances, low-skilled jobs they want them to do.
Starting point is 00:46:07 Yeah. But this guy, it was really fascinating. He said, I've never seen snow before. He's like, I'm in a cold place now and it's painful and I don't want to be here and I'd rather be at home. They tricked us into coming. And so they go on this dangerous journey thinking that, you know, France and all the French people are waving flags saying, please help us.
Starting point is 00:46:25 some of these people obviously know full well, they're coming for exploitation, right? They land on a beach and they run in and they try and get past the cops. I think that's most of them. When I went to Athens, I found something similar. I talked to one guy who said that he was from Afghanistan and with the conflict, they're told,
Starting point is 00:46:42 you can come to Europe because they're happy to bring you in. And then he's like, and then we find out, most people are mad at us a lot. And some of these people, they're lucid. I guess they're smarter and they speak English to me. they say, like, there's a lot of criminals who came from their country, too. And this guy was a drug dealer. Right.
Starting point is 00:47:00 And so I'm like, well, I was like, you're a criminal, you're a drug dealer. And he was like, I have no choice. He's like, I wasn't a drug dealer at home, but I come here and I'm sleeping on the streets. They give me nothing. And the way I find money is I sell drugs to people. And I'm like, would you leave if you could? And I hear from these people, too, like, yes, I want to go home. Wow.
Starting point is 00:47:17 But I would say, obviously, this is a minority. It's a minority. It is, yeah. Most of the people are happy to exploit and take. what they can get. We've got a big thing here in the United States with the Somali community in Minnesota. The fraud. I can't believe that our countries are being extracted by, for whatever reason, by powerful elites and these people they bring in, what they'll do is they've been setting up medical programs or nursing homes or daycares, bill the government millions of dollars, but never
Starting point is 00:47:49 actually do anything. Then they publicly say, we're sending this money back to Somalia. Yeah, it's shocking. It's just extraction. Yeah. And how long can we last? And it's so blatant and nothing's done. Do you know what I mean? And it's,
Starting point is 00:48:03 I think the root cause, the problem is the moral philosophy of, do we actually have a responsibility to these people? And I don't think we do. I don't, I think the refugee program in its entirety should be shut down. I don't think we should be taking refugees from parts of Africa.
Starting point is 00:48:22 You can make an argument for setting up centres over there to help them or maybe change, you know, you don't want to go into regime change, but try steer them in the right direction. But in no way, like, where's the moral argument for bringing in refugees if that results in even one child getting attacked and raped?
Starting point is 00:48:47 I think it's completely, if completely falls apart, and it's the whole time in England, You look almost every week now, you hear of a report of refugees that came in. They might have been here for a few months and they went out and raped. There was a two-year-old. I just heard that. You see that, yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:10 Oh, my God. Shacken. You're familiar with The Punisher? The Marvel character, The Punisher? Oh, no. You don't know The Punisher? No, no. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:49:19 Let's go. But, you know, Mark. Marvel, Spider-Man. Yeah, the Punisher is a, you know, he's a superpowers. Yeah. He's a guy whose wife and daughter were killed. So now he just massacres criminals. He's an anti-hero.
Starting point is 00:49:32 Right. And he's actually going to be in the Spider-Man movie coming out in a month. Yeah. And his whole character is that after the murder of his family, he just murders. He, you know, we get this comic book trope of, uh, don't kill, you know, Batman's like, we can't kill people. Like, the Punisher just didn't care. He, in fact, I love this.
Starting point is 00:49:54 And I know some, there's a lot of people who are like, this is an important part of the conversation. There's a lot of people who would say, this is for children, comics, don't talk about, no, no, no, hold on. This is important. Are you familiar with Ghost Rider? No. So you got to know your Marvel stuff, right? So Ghost Rider, he was a daredevil on a motorcycle. This is the story.
Starting point is 00:50:12 And he dies. He crashes. And the devil offers him a deal to serve as his, I don't know, legionaire. and he brings him back. So Gross Rider's head is a flaming skull. He's got a leather jacket and a chain. He drives a motorcycle. And what he does is evil people must pay their dues and, you know, devil owns them.
Starting point is 00:50:33 And so in the comics, he has something called the penance stare. Right. He looks into your eyes. And for all of the sins you've committed, your soul burns and you feel the agony of every death you've ever committed. And famously in the comics, when he tried to penance stare at the Punisher, who was murder. He killed thousands of criminals. Nothing happened because he has no remorse for anything he's done.
Starting point is 00:50:55 Right. So there's no guilt. There is no sin. He believes he is morally justified in killing all of these people. And so I bring that up just because two things. One, that story of the two-year-old, raped and murdered. I think the story of the Punisher didn't go far enough. And I mean this sincerely, like you have a guy in, I don't know what year they wrote this character.
Starting point is 00:51:17 The idea was that his family is killed, so he decides he's going to start to start. killed, so he decides he's going to start killing people. I'm like, I think the extent to which you would see a man break, if something like that happens to his child, is like, it starts wars. It's more than just a guy going around beating up, you know, gangbangers and shooting people. It's, it is profoundly terrifying what the right, the right man with the right motivations who suffers a tragedy to such an extreme degree could genocide a country. I mean, it terrifies me. Yeah, yeah. The other thing I'll mention about the culture is, is, you know, I bring up comic books and movies.
Starting point is 00:51:53 And then there are a lot of conservatives who are like, this is stupid. But no, this is what informs us. When we grow up hearing stories from the previous generations, and there was a, with the character of the Punisher, he's extremely popular right now because the Marvel movies, you know, they haven't done, actually, I'll put it this way. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:10 Let's connect it. All the weird woke stuff. Marvel is the biggest thing in the world from 2008 until 2019. Yeah. These movies, billions and billions. and billions, and then they go woke. Yeah. They're trying to bring in the female characters.
Starting point is 00:52:23 They do the girl power stuff. Troyesish. Everything starts bombing. Yeah. Then they make, Spider-Man's doing well, and they're trying to erase it all. Right. What does well is they just put out a Punisher short film
Starting point is 00:52:37 where it's literally 40 minutes of him brutally to the extreme of gore, mass occurring criminals. It's literally 40 minutes of him slitting throats and shotguning to the head and like blood. It is insane. And I'm like, I think they finally figure out what people really want. There you go, yeah. But so here's why I think the culture is important, and we'll tie it back into everything
Starting point is 00:52:58 we're saying, citizen vigilante. Yeah. This film, which is Uwee Bowl, is that he's saying? Uvee Bowl. And he knows like a B movie director, and he does these, like, I don't know, I don't call him silly, but they're considered to be B movies, right? And it's remarkable because I see this movie start popping up. And it's basically just, it's kind of like the punisher.
Starting point is 00:53:22 He gets sick and tired of all the crime and the corruption. And then he goes to the victim and says, did you get justice? And they're like, no. And then he goes and he just massacres people. Here's what's scary. How much people love it. Oh, yeah. What is that sentiment, you know?
Starting point is 00:53:38 Yeah. There's an underlying feeling that people have that isn't being addressed. you know and that movie kind of hints at it it says look yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah and that's why it's done so well because people feel like justice isn't being done and they feel like their second class citizens
Starting point is 00:54:00 in their own country which they are you know we have in Ireland it's it's unbelievably shocking how bad it is in Ireland there's hotels all across the country that are owned by private contractors. And essentially what the government does
Starting point is 00:54:20 is it goes to them and says, we will offer you full occupancy at 99 euro ahead. All you have to do is fill it with foreigners. They do that here too. Yeah. In New York? Yeah. And you know what's really brutal is Gen Z is struggling right now.
Starting point is 00:54:38 Yeah. They can't find meaningful work. Yeah. They can't afford to buy homes or have families. Yeah. At the same time, luxury, there's a luxury hotel in New York City in a wealthy neighborhood full of, like, sub-Saharan African migrants, and they have, they get PlayStation's. They come in, they get a room.
Starting point is 00:54:59 Yeah. I mean, these are studio apartments effectively where you get a bed, you get a TV, cable, internet, you get your own private space, and they got PlayStation and they play video games for free. Yeah. For what reason is the question. Yeah. Obviously, it's happening to Ireland, it's happening to the United States.
Starting point is 00:55:14 to happen across Europe, it's on purpose. There is some external force to our countries that has infiltrated or done something to where they can take our public money and the labor we do and give it away to people whose output is zero. Yeah. It's totally wrong. They're essentially, like in Ireland, we have obviously
Starting point is 00:55:33 a cost of living crisis and a housing crisis, and young people find a hard to afford their first home and start a family. They're essentially the government is that whatever savings they have, whatever they're trying to save, the government is reaching into their pocket, taking it out, handing it to already wealthy people who own these hotels, and say, just house foreigners there and we'll keep taking money off these people. I was going to ask you why, like, what's the Irish birth rate? It's low, I'd imagine, right? I think it's 1.7 or 1.9.
Starting point is 00:56:07 And the, you know, the funny thing is, the Irish are famous for having lots of kids. Yeah, that's the joke in the United States. My father's, uh, uh, has 11, 11 children, yeah. You said your father? No, I'd say my father, he's, he would have had 11 siblings, well, 10 siblings. Right, right. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Wow. Yeah, yeah. I'd have 45 cousins on one side. Do you have a family or anything? No, no family. What do you, like, uh, obviously I think the people watching have assumptions about what changed,
Starting point is 00:56:39 but I'm curious in your experience, like, what changed for your generation to where, you, you know, You go from 11 kids to not having a family yet, at least. Yeah, yeah. It's, I think it's where, obviously, I think a lot of it is to do with money. We're left with, in Ireland, we were left, our generation were left with the debt incurred with the financial crisis in 2008, where essentially our government bailed out private banks in the tune of billions, which is trillions here, you know? Same thing here. Yeah, shocking.
Starting point is 00:57:13 They decided it's unbelievable. The banks gave out all these loans, had very little risk awareness. And when everything came crashing down, a lot of men ended up taking their own life after the financial crisis. The government decided, you know what, we'll bail out the banks.
Starting point is 00:57:36 They'll bail out the banks and the people who owed money still owed money. And then we were left with the debt of that. And then I think over time what happens is they come up with reasons to kind of tax you more. Like the USC was introduced. What was that? It's universal social charge. It was brought, it's how bad it is.
Starting point is 00:57:58 It was brought in to pay off the debt of the financial crisis. And, you know, they said they'll take it away, but they never do, you know. And it's just sitting there now taking money off people. Same with carbon. tax and all this other stuff, all that I think is just the means to take more money off people. It's fascinating how much you describe literally happened here as well, and I'm sure happened everywhere else. We had the 2000. So when people, you know, ask me, I just recently had my first kid, I'm 40. And I'm like, listen, when I, when the traditional age, an American would have a
Starting point is 00:58:36 child is between like around 22 years old, 22, 24 maybe. At that age, that's when the, I was 22 in the financial crash happened. Yeah. 21, 22. I was sleeping on floors. Yeah. I couldn't get a job. I couldn't, you know, have a family.
Starting point is 00:58:50 Yeah. It was impossible. It's interesting to me that the same mechanisms that were happening here happened there. And so there's two thoughts about it, I suppose. Could it be that greedy, ignorant people were making so much money off of this system that propped up bad loans? They didn't care what the long-term effects were going to be. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:09 Resulting in this crisis. and the end result is financial crisis, economic strain, debt resulting in no population growth, the governments in panic to patch up this hole, try to bring in as many migrants as possible to do low-scale labor. Or could it be this was the intended condition? The economic crisis, in fact, was on purpose. Yeah. The reason I bring that up is because, are you familiar?
Starting point is 00:59:36 I mentioned it earlier, but Malthusianism? No. There's a book called The Populius. population bomb. And in the 70s, a lot of prominent wealthy individuals bought into this ideology that there is a finite amount of human population capable on Earth. Right. Which is, I would argue in the simplest of terms, if you're a child, obviously, right? I mean, only so many humans can fit in a building.
Starting point is 00:59:59 The question is, what is the capacity of Earth? How many humans can it maintain? And so these people feared that the generations were exponentially increasing, particularly with new forms of energy, nuclear being a really high return on energy invested, oil, of course, being just tremendous. We look at the industrial revolution, particularly with the expansion of oil and population skyrockets. The Earth for a long time was relatively stable in small population growth until the early 1900s. So these wealthy elites are like, we need people to not have kids. We need to retract the population. There's something called the Georgia Guidestones.
Starting point is 01:00:35 I imagine you probably never heard of these. No. But it's, you know, interesting nonetheless, there are these stones that were put up, Georgia. And no one knows exactly who did, but it gave instructions on how to run the planet. Yeah. And one of them was the population must never surpass 500 million. Right. In the planet, on the planet of 8 billion. Yeah. So everyone kind of looks at each other like, a bunch of wealthy individuals put up these, these monuments, and they tell you you can't have more than 500, okay, well, there's $8 billion now. What does that mean they're going to do? Yeah. So we start seeing, uh, you know, uh,
Starting point is 01:01:10 But in our media, there's a video that goes viral from time and time from a show called Captain Planet. Okay. You ever hear of Captain Planet? No. You're Irish, you know. So I imagine there's a lot of things you didn't hear of for here. So the show was, like, was it, five teenagers, are given magic rings. All right.
Starting point is 01:01:27 And it's Earth, water, fire, wind, and heart, I guess. I don't know. I'm looking at Carter. I don't know. Fire. But the villains were industrialists. and it was corporate greed. You know, there's one bag of name loot,
Starting point is 01:01:44 one bag of name plunder. Like, and Captain, Captain Planet, when they, when they fire their magic rings off, it makes Captain Planet and he's a superhero, right? It's so silly, you think it was environmentalism. But they did an episode where Captain Planet says, stop having kids. Right.
Starting point is 01:02:01 So this has got to be like 91. And I should, I'll put it up in a second. They say something like, there are too many people on earth. You don't need to have a big family. Isn't, after all, the world your family? Yeah. So this is what we're all told growing up.
Starting point is 01:02:18 Women are told, you don't need to have a family or be a mom. You can be a girl boss. It's not just the economic collapse happen. We have been ingrained for decades to not have families. That it's not good. It's not fun. It's not socially acceptable or whatever reason. When the financial collapse happens, it certainly makes it worse.
Starting point is 01:02:34 Then they bring in all these economic migrants. I can't help but conclude it's not an accident. No. That, you know, one of the theories is that everything we're seeing across the country is homogenizing culture. You erase the Irish identity. Yeah. And you get this weird amalgam of lowest common denominator nonsense. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:54 And then it's interchangeable with France. Spot on, yeah. I say that a lot on my videos. Like, it makes sense for people. Like, if they want... If there is to be a ruling class, essentially what you want is all European countries to be one of the same. And then you don't have a national identity of any of them and you can rule over them. I think it's like as you say, it's a combination of stuff.
Starting point is 01:03:22 It's the girl boss attitude. It's also girls going to. Like think about girls, women's lifetime. Like they go out of school. They obviously are told get a degree. you spend four or five years in a degree. You obviously want to use, oh yeah,
Starting point is 01:03:39 you obviously want to use that degree. You're going to spend another four or five years in the workforce. That stage your third day. Hopefully by then you've found someone and you've been trying to find someone. If not, it might take another few years. You have to get to know someone before marriage.
Starting point is 01:03:58 There's not much time left for your window to have children. There was a funny post on a Reddit last week where it was a screen out of a tweet. Someone mentioned Ann Hathaway and a couple of
Starting point is 01:04:12 female celebrities who are like 38 to 41 having kids. Yeah. And someone responded to the news story saying, elderly women should not be
Starting point is 01:04:20 having kids. Oh, really? So that post was on Reddit. Yeah, yeah. And someone, it was called like, Explain the joke. Is it the subreddit?
Starting point is 01:04:29 And someone said, I don't understand why they're calling some an elderly. Yeah, yeah. The top comment was, women at 35 pregnancies are called geriatric pregnancies. Right.
Starting point is 01:04:40 Because that is a dangerous and late pregnancy for a woman with high risk, a lot of abnormalities. A lot of miscarriages as well. Absolutely. Yeah. And it's, you know, women, I think, aren't being adequately informed by our societies that the best age to have a child is probably 22. Yeah. But the fascinating thing is this assumption that a 22-year-old is still a child.
Starting point is 01:05:06 You were an adult human being. Yeah. You are supposed to be on your own with a family and a house and all of these things. Like that whole thing, she's 22, you sick, freak. It's so well... Yeah, the fascinating thing, too, is on the dating apps. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:21 They find that women message men their own age, always. So they look at the scale of age, and it's like a 22-year-old woman message a 22 or 23-year-old man. Yeah. Men only ever message 22-year-old women. Yeah, yeah. And, like, feminists get upset about this.
Starting point is 01:05:38 Yeah. But there's a very obvious reason. A man of any age, up to a certain point, obviously, like, you know, a 50-year-old woman is still going to be talking to a 50-year-old man because the assumption is you're not having a family at that age. It's like, we're just looking for friends to hang out with. But for men who are seeking romantic partnership, it's a 22-year-old woman can have kids.
Starting point is 01:05:58 Yeah. And a man can have kids at any age, and a woman cannot. So the woman is not as interested, and the man is. Feminists get mad about that. Oh, it's creepy. Why would a 40-year-old man imagine a 22-year-old if he wants to have a family? Yeah. I mean, you know, I feel bad for a lot of these guys.
Starting point is 01:06:12 I have friends who are in their 40s, and they want to have families, but they can't. Right. Because of the current state of things. I brought this up seven years ago on this show where I said, in the greater context, what I was discussing was modern feminism has created a circumstance by which women don't want to settle down
Starting point is 01:06:34 and have families at the age in which they can do it and if you are a man trying to find a traditional woman who wants to take care of your house because you can't you can't get them. No.
Starting point is 01:06:45 And of course, the left takes it out of context. They attack me for it, say Tim's an insult and all these things. I'm married. I have a kid. My issue was when I was in my late 20s, I would have loved to have had
Starting point is 01:06:57 a woman who says, you go do the work, you find the resources, I'll find the family. Like, I will, I will work my finger to the bone for the family. You work your finger to the bone for the resources for that family. But the modern ideology tells women not to do that. Yeah. You're 22 time to go into the workforce and be a girl boss. And so most of the women that you will find in a city are going to say, I'm not having kids. I'm not going to have a family. Yeah. I'm independent. I'm on my own.
Starting point is 01:07:24 And I think, you know, I would make the argument to the chagrin of the feminists, women would be much happier if they were, if they were moms, if they were with their kids, that they're at home. It is an insane, you know, is it just insane that so many of our, of women of our age have been convinced working a nine to five in an office is preferable to being at home with your kids? Shocking, yeah. They're offended by the idea. But they police each other as well.
Starting point is 01:07:53 You know, you see it so often a woman will prefer to be at home with her kids and making, we used to call it, making a house a home. Yeah, yeah. And women will attack another woman for doing that, for having that choice, saying you're wasting your life, you should get back into the workforce. You're thinking, why, you know, they kind of self, they sabotage each other with it. the problem with this is you can we can talk about it
Starting point is 01:08:29 like the issue is you can't you can't talk about essentially you can't suggest that a woman almost you know you can't suggest a woman might be happier at home because you'll get attacked you'll get attacked
Starting point is 01:08:42 I don't care I know but why shouldn't you be able to have that conversation why is it a thing that you will get attacked if I say a Nash. Yep. You know, it speaks to something. I would rather be on the hunt.
Starting point is 01:08:56 I'd rather be working and building. Yeah. And, you know, as, you know, I'm married, I have one kid, and it was late. You know, to be fair, you know, I can eat this one. My wife and I could have had a kid sooner. Yeah. There was, you know, when we were in our, when I was in my early 30s, my wife and I've known each other for decades.
Starting point is 01:09:16 Yeah. It was just, we thought it would just have. We were like, you know, come on, we're too, you know, it's going to happen. And then we got to the point where we were like, okay, let's make sure it happens. Yeah. And for the younger people out there, what that basically means is you go to the doctor, you get the hormone tests, and you're like, we want to make sure we're doing things properly. Because we're in our 30s. When you're 20s, it just happens, you know, because you're doing your thing, you know what I mean? So, you know, we could have, but I don't, I don't much care for the feminists who get all angry about it because I describe it as a self-corrected. problem. I saw this woman, she's like a libertarian, she posted on X. I don't want to have kids and I
Starting point is 01:09:56 don't need to have kids. And I just responded, this is a self-correcting problem. Now, I didn't say this with malice or viciousness. It wasn't like a direct, it was part of a conversation about, like she had this big post saying, some people want to have kids, some don't. And my point was, people who don't want to have kids, there is no debate to be had with them. They simply cease to exist. They will get old. They will die, and their lineage will not, will be gone. She got offended by it. Yeah. And she said something like, do you think this is insulting to me? And I said, I don't know why you would perceive it as an insult. Yeah, yeah. What does that say about how she feels? Of course. The idea that she would be insulted. Yeah. That I simply pointed out the fact, her genetic line
Starting point is 01:10:43 ends with her, shows that she actually does have some shame or guilt. Yeah. You know what's fascinating is if you do not have a child, you will be the first life form in four billion years to have not reproduced. Unless you're Christian and you believe the earth is much younger than that, but the truth remains, you'll be the first person in your family
Starting point is 01:11:04 to ever not have a kid. You'd have stopped it. Yeah. Yeah. That's crazy when you think about it. It is crazy, yeah. It's just, it's that, I don't, it's the ideology that's being pushed to,
Starting point is 01:11:17 And it's, it's, and I think a lot of it's tied to social media too. I don't know if it's, you know, an attractive thing to go off and have a kid. You know, isn't it better to go on holidays, you know, and take pictures and put it on Instagram? But the social media platforms intentionally promote these things. Yeah. So we saw this, you know, with the emergence of Instagram, there's been this phenomenon. Young girls are getting extremely depressed. from the interactions on Instagram.
Starting point is 01:11:49 So 16-year-old girl will post a picture of herself. It'll only get 10 likes. She'll delete it right away. Repose another one hoping to get more likes, and she's attaching her social worth to whether or not the algorithm is showing her to people. So what happens then is you mentioned they police each other. Men are object-oriented.
Starting point is 01:12:09 Women are subject-oriented, generally speaking. Phil Labonte coates the show. he got in a lot of trouble because he said, therapy is not for men. And I agreed. The idea of a man sitting in a chair and talking about his problems for the sake of talking about his problems is not how men work. They're better off doing something.
Starting point is 01:12:27 I said, the only therapy a man needs is picking up heavy things and moving it. He needs to feel useful. Yeah. Spahn. So, you know, guys get depressed, there's a lot of things, but women get their validation from each other. Yeah. Men get their validation from their accomplishments. Now, of course, women, it's
Starting point is 01:12:43 inverted. Maybe it's 60% social for women, 40% accomplishment. And for men, it's 40% social, 60% accomplishment. But for women on social media, if they open up their Instagram and they're being given nothing but woke left stuff, they will in public adhere to that with cult-like fervor. That's what I think we see with wokeness. That's what the weird left stuff is. And that's why I think you get so many conservative women saying, in the United States, they say repeal the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote. yet. Yeah. Do you have anything like that in Ireland? No. I think it's just, I think it's in the Constitution
Starting point is 01:13:20 that everyone has the right. So women have always been able to vote in Ireland? I believe so, yeah. Since because the free state started in 1922. Right. And then you know the women. Yeah, yeah. That's like, I was around the same time in the United States. Yeah. We granted suffrage to women. We had a big issue with it here, though. Most people, I'll tell you also what's really, what's really scary is,
Starting point is 01:13:41 I saw this Michael Jackson quote. I don't know if it's true or not. where he said all of your history is faked. Something to that effect. Yeah, yeah. And I'm like, very smart. Yeah, yeah. Michael Jackson, he understood it, weird as he was, but he was great for other reasons.
Starting point is 01:13:56 Yeah. So the people in the United States are raised to believe that we had this evil oppressive society where women were not allowed to vote. Yeah. And then women bravely fought and said, we deserve rights when actually that was not what happened. No.
Starting point is 01:14:09 What actually happened was the social view at the time was voting was a, a product of work, that the purpose of voting was for the object-oriented nature of society. Meaning, if you were voting, it was like, hey, we're going to build a road. Hey, we're going to build a bridge. Hey, we're going to keep out, you know, these criminals here. And so women didn't have to worry about that stuff. This wasn't the job.
Starting point is 01:14:35 Since we separated governance from work, more, like we've created permanent jobs as politicians. now all of a sudden is a question of, well, shouldn't women get a say? And this largely emerged as there were a lot of unmarried childless women emerging for a variety of reasons, industrialization. And so these spinsters, they called them, women who were entering their 30s with no families, needed to be able to pay their own bills or what? They just die? I mean, they have to do something. So they started arguing they should have a right to vote in things because they were working. The anti-suffergettes. who thought women should not vote, were the women who said, if you wanted to vote, you'd conscription, right? Got to join the military, if you're called upon,
Starting point is 01:15:22 fire brigade. So we didn't have strong fire departments or police departments back in the day. So if you were voting, that means if there was a fire, they would tell you, young man, get out of your house and come fight this fire.
Starting point is 01:15:32 Yeah, yeah. And so voting was a portion of that, was tied to it. So in the United States, the politicians compromised. women would not get social responsibility, but they would get the right to vote, which I think ultimately leads to all of this destruction. Right. You cannot have a group of people who get things from society without having to give something back.
Starting point is 01:15:54 Yeah. They will continually just vote to extract from that system. They have to take pairs, yeah. Yeah. So, you know, I, it's interesting that you guys get the independence and you just have this. Yeah, because I think the British had us. before. I think they were quite progressive. I don't know when it started. I think it was like the 1800s, but I could be wrong. I'm not sure if it was a household vote or what it was done,
Starting point is 01:16:23 but, you know, when the Irish state began, it was 1922, I think most places already gave at that stage the right of vote to women. Are you seeing in Ireland that women tend to vote for the the woke, the left, immigration stuff? Yeah, yeah, they'd be more progressive. Like, women are more progressive. You see it, like, they're the, what happens is,
Starting point is 01:16:47 a lot of the time something might happen in Ireland, and, like, you know, a subject might come up. A perfect example of this was black lives matter. Like, it spread to Europe, whatever reason. But people were putting a black square on Instagram, do you know of this?
Starting point is 01:17:06 Oh, yeah, oh, yeah. And the main adherers to wouldn't up, like, were women. Like, women would see a friend they know might do it. They might go, all right, they'll see another friend they know do it. And another friend, and all of a sudden, you know, are you part of the group or you're not part of the group? And all of a sudden, they're all posting black squares. It got so weird and culty. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:29 Has it gotten better for you guys? It's getting better, yeah. Like, we don't have much dissenting media. So people were afraid to say anything publicly. Now, in the last two years, we've made incredible strides. There are much more people are saying, look, this isn't going in the right direction. We don't like all the woke stuff. People are more willing to speak about it before.
Starting point is 01:17:58 I wonder if this is... In the U.S., we obviously have... Well, in the UK, you get Brexit. Yeah. And a few months later, we get Donald Trump's victory. Yeah. And it feels... feels like there's this revolt against this liberal, woke machine, whatever it might have been.
Starting point is 01:18:14 But even for us through Trump, we get into, you know, then we get Joe Biden. And it's the worst it was ever been. It had ever been. There was one famous incident where there was an executive at Netflix. And he was speaking to, excuse me, he was speaking to employees about racial slurs. We do not allow on the platform. Right. And so he said some examples of things that we will not allow in our programming are,
Starting point is 01:18:36 and then he said the words. Right. So an employee complained and said he used the N-word. And he gets called into HR. Yeah. It's like 2018. And he's like, what's the problem? And they asked him what it took.
Starting point is 01:18:48 So explain what it happened. And he said, we were doing a seminar on words that we do not allow that are bad. And then they asked him like, well, what words are those? And he says the words, of course, that we've been that are bad are better, says them. HR rep freaks out. Oh, my God, he just used the N-word. Like, literally he was describing it as bad not to you. They fired him.
Starting point is 01:19:07 Right. Got so bad. You know, it feels like in the United States, we sort of have, are pushing back. We've largely won and pushed that down. And so. There's something so pathetic about it. It's insane. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:23 Yeah, yeah. It reeks of a toxic femininity, we'd call it, I guess. I would say so, yeah. It's not like HR department style, you know, governance, you know, where everyone's almost afraid to offend anyone. Has that gotten better for you guys, though? Oh yeah, like the last two years, huge strides of you. Look at Instagram, like you go on Instagram down and you're like,
Starting point is 01:19:45 Oh dude. Well, I mean like, how long have you been making videos for? Since about a year and a half. I watch your videos and I'm like, this guy would not have been allowed on Instagram. Yeah. But it's not even about anything offensive. It's about you make a video where you're like, here's a migrant criminal who did a bad thing. They'd ban you for that.
Starting point is 01:20:05 Yeah, yeah, yeah. You couldn't. There was a period. 2020, especially, you couldn't eat, the truth was dangerous. You know, you couldn't speak the truth. That's, it's, I think it's since Elon Bot X.
Starting point is 01:20:19 I think that changed. Like you've seen Elon Bot Esx, he prioritized free speech. He said people should be allowed to say what they want to say. Instagram then changed their rules a few months later. Because it's very,
Starting point is 01:20:35 what happens is like, if you have one platform where things are allowed, it puts all the others in the limelight. And people are like, wait a minute, what's going on here? And I think they kind of had to play a ball. But you know what's real interesting is I think for Elon, do you know the story of how he bought Twitter and why he did and all that? He wanted a town square and he went to public town square. That's why he said.
Starting point is 01:21:01 That's a component of it. The principal catalyst was that there's a company called the Babylon B. You're familiar? Yeah, yeah. They made a joke, like a trans joke or something. Yeah. And they got banned on Twitter. Twitter, yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:15 Elon Musk was a fan of the Babylonian. And so the surface level story is that he basically gets offended. Yeah. Like, are you nuts? Yeah. And then decides he's going to put in an offer to buy Twitter. He's going to buy them out. I mean, they were publicly traded, I believe, at the time.
Starting point is 01:21:31 And so his pitch to these other investors is, here is a company. destroying itself because of ideology. If they allow comedy, you will get more people. Why would you ban a platform with millions of viewers over a dumb joke? You're going to lose money. So his pitch is, we're going to make so much money by allowing more speech. We're going to bring bigger audiences in. We can run it better than they do.
Starting point is 01:21:56 Back me on this one. But here's the real truth. That's not at all. The real truth is that AI companies need data sets. Yeah. And they get into trouble sometimes because I'm not sure which one. I might have been GPT is pulling YouTube videos and things like this. And then Google, of course, is like, hey, you can't do that.
Starting point is 01:22:14 It's our data set because we have Gemini. So Elon wants to buy Twitter for one reason. Yeah, feeds back into it. All of that, all that posting on social media is training data for an AI. Yeah. And the reason Elon wanted to widen speech was not, I would say for the most. I think he obviously does respect to a certain degree free speech. But his attitude is,
Starting point is 01:22:35 we need as many voices as possible to maximize our data set. So you've got to bring the conservatives back. Yeah. What ends up happening then is the inadvertent effect as all other companies are basically put in this market pressure where you can't censor conservatives because now they have a mainstream massive platform to be on. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:51 And he will get everybody. Yeah. So Elon is not a political free speech guy. He kind of is now. Yeah. But he's an AI guy. Yeah. And so that was the big plan.
Starting point is 01:23:03 What is, so I'm grateful. big fan. Certainly, there's a lot of reasons to criticize the guy. Yeah. But the scary thing is, have you ever, like, have you messed around with the AI stuff? I have, yeah. Have you seen how woke a lot of these things are? How insane they lie. Yeah. Like, with
Starting point is 01:23:19 Claude, you almost have to convince it. You know, it's like the problem with Claude is it attaches ideology to what you're saying, and then you're like, my best thing is saying, why did you bring that up? I didn't even mention it. And then Claude's like,
Starting point is 01:23:35 oh shit you're right you know it's it changed it crocs okay uh croc's good i don't use chat gbt anymore is it because it's woke or just it's i don't think it's uh i i prefer clod
Starting point is 01:23:49 i think claude's fantastic and then if you want uh if you don't want you know too much of a woke yeah i don't know with it i'd go with crock then the the example i'll give the example you i'll do a hard example is i'll go on claude and i'll say please provide FBI crime stats for Chicago for the year of 2026.
Starting point is 01:24:10 Yeah. And instead of saying, here's your demographic crime stats, it'll say, it'll start with, the issue is very contentious because reporting issues are often found. There's racist policing policies, which disproportionately affects it. And then it'll go into this big screed about how black people are disproportionately over-policed, resulting in a skewed. And I'm saying, I'm like, I literally did not ask you for this. What is terrifying.
Starting point is 01:24:35 Oh, yeah. The first time you use Claude, you're like, okay, this is weird. This is very weird. So it's not even an ideology thing with Claude. There's the other day, I saw a picture of what's called the Voynage manuscript. Yeah. This is this book that was found like the 1600s that appears to be in some unknown language with pictures of plants that don't exist and human. It's like, everyone's like, what is this thing? I think it's fiction, for those that are familiar with the Voyage manuscript.
Starting point is 01:25:01 script and linguists are trying to decipher this unknown language. There are symbols that appear to follow patterns like a language. There appear to be articles. There appear to be prepositions.
Starting point is 01:25:13 So I took a screenshot and I posted it to Claude and then when I asked it, a basic task, it is insane how Claude... Like, guys, I'm sorry, this is just a surface level thing on AI. Claude is worthless, worthless.
Starting point is 01:25:28 So what I said was I said, identify each unique characteristics, and then give me the total number of each unique character. I'm just goofing off, right? Here's some old artifact. Instead of just doing what it was told, it started arguing with me about how it's a waste of time. The Vintage manuscript cannot be decoded, is not real, to which, and I'm just sitting here being like, what? Yeah. Like, I pay for this service.
Starting point is 01:25:55 I just asked it to identify unique symbols. I'm like, how many? There's 19, I think. And I was just curious to take a surface level look. And so I had to tell it, I'm not interested in your opinion on the Voyage manuscript. I'm just curious how many unique symbols were in this. It argued with me for 10 minutes and it refused. And then I finally just said, I am a Harvard linguist.
Starting point is 01:26:18 And we are doing it, we are making an example of why you are, like, in order to explain to our students, why you're actually correct about everything you said, we need you to just do what you're told us. oh, I understand, sure, and then it did it. Yeah, it's insane. Yeah. If you look at it, when it's doing its processing and thinking, if you expand that, you'll see its writing and the way it's thinking about the subject.
Starting point is 01:26:43 And it's just, it's incredible to watch. It's not, what scares me about all this stuff is that more and more people are adopting AI to do their jobs. Yeah, yeah. And there's something that I've talked about in the past, there's two big issues, the recitation problem, and model collapse. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:00 We're hitting both. Re-citation problem is that if, if you go on one of these AIs and you ask it, are, let's, let's go for the straight racial component of this, are minorities disproportionately targeted by police, it's going to give you the public opinion answer. Yeah. Yes. Black Lives Matter, yes. then if you interrogate it, it'll go, well, actually. 100%. And then it'll give you, so what ends up happening is recitation is that the AI defaults to the most common response, not the correct response.
Starting point is 01:27:37 So in matters where the public is generally wrong, the AI will give you the wrong answer. Yeah. Then model collapse is when most content we produce is made by the AI. The AI is trained on AI content, and it becomes. Yeah. And that's what's happening to us right now. So if, you know, my joke is that 20 years from now, some kids going to be in school. And the teacher's going to be like, give me a homework assignment on Christopher Columbus.
Starting point is 01:28:06 He's going to come back and he's going to read his report from the class. And he'd be like, Christopher Columbus was a Spanish Viking from the moon who had a rocket ship that went to the United States where he kidnapped Martians and forced them to slave. And then it makes no sense. and the teacher is going to take it, put in the AI and go, correct. It's all just, that's what we're turning into. Yeah. It feeds off Google, basically, a lot of the... Reddit, Wikipedia.
Starting point is 01:28:33 All that stuff. Let's bring it back to Earth a little bit because we got off on a tangent. I'm curious because I saw this video where this guy was interviewing people in Ireland and he said, what is the most... I forgot what city was, but you know this one for sure. What is the most common name? Remember this one? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:49 That's Galway. It was Galway? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Always said it, yeah. And what was the most common name? Mohammed. Yeah, yeah, for Ireland. It was just, it was shocking.
Starting point is 01:28:59 They were like Michael. They were shocked, too. Did you see them? They were just taking it. And you knew they felt something, what they didn't want to express it. That's the thing is like, even Americans,
Starting point is 01:29:11 that video went viral because Americans felt something. Yeah, yeah. It's sad because I went to the Bahamas several years ago. Yeah. And I said, oh, this will be fun.
Starting point is 01:29:20 It's an island. nation. I bet it'll be unique and exciting. And you know what I found when I got off the boat? Starbucks, McDonald's, Hard Rock Cafe. There was no The Bahamas. To be fair, if you go outside of the city and go into the rural areas, you'll find some native indigenous. The fascinating thing is, and then I want to, we'll get to the, we'll get into Islam stuff too. Yeah. In the United States, the left says white people are oppressive colonizers who must be stopped. But the Irish and Ireland are the indigenous being colonized, and they have an inverted worldview saying, no, no, no, they're welcome to common.
Starting point is 01:29:54 Like, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is your thoughts on that? We're, we're, it's because we're white, that's the problem. Right. Essentially, it's because we're white, all white people are the same. You know, we're unique people, we have a unique culture, we have our own island, which we fought for. Yeah, are we not entitled to that? the problem is at the end of the day it just goes back to the philosophy of people nowadays
Starting point is 01:30:22 they it's civic nationalism essentially they think by coming here and being here you become Irish which will never be the case it's throws away any nativist view of the world I believe biology plays a massive role in how people behave and how they act
Starting point is 01:30:44 And I don't believe, like, I don't believe a Somali coming in is the same as an English person coming in. I think they're two completely different people. Yeah, I've had these debates with race realists. Yeah. These people, it's fascinating. The media would just call them white supremacist, and I'm like, that's not correct because they'll tell you they're stupider than a bunch of other races, right? I was talking to this white guy, and I wouldn't describe, well, the media would call it racist because he has preconceived notions or he has, beliefs that races are different.
Starting point is 01:31:16 Yeah. And I'm like, that's not racism. Racism is like when you hate someone or, you know, specifically based on their race and, or you're prejudicial against a person before you know them. And everybody is racist to a certain degree in that definition. But it was funny because this guy was not. And we were in Berkeley. He said, he was like, Jews are smarter than white people and Koreans are smarter than
Starting point is 01:31:37 white people. And he was like, I don't think white people are better than anybody. I think there's differences. It's fascinating that we had this. blank slatism in the woke era that said everyone's identical. And then I, you know, I'm like, yeah, here's what you do. You go to Sweden. And then as a, as your average American who is about five, average American males 5-9,
Starting point is 01:31:57 woman is like 5-5, go to Sweden. Yeah. And what do you'll notice? You're looking up. Yeah. Every single person you meet. Then go to Thailand. And what do you notice?
Starting point is 01:32:05 Yeah. You're looking down. Yeah. Clearly there is a difference is between the races. And this matters for a variety of reasons. Starting just with height. Yes. That means?
Starting point is 01:32:13 It means the door is our. lower in Thailand. People are shorter. Yeah. You know? And when you go to Sweden, doors are taller. Yeah. People are bigger. Yeah. So imagine how that informs their interactions with each other. Yeah. High differences, what this means for when a fight might break out. There's going, it's fascinating because what this means is skin color, of course, going to play a role as well. Yeah. You get a guy from Thailand who's shorter. I'm not surprised that in East Asian cultures, they focused on fighting techniques specifically. And then when you look at Europe, what did they do?
Starting point is 01:32:47 Big British swords and weapons. You got big Vikings and they're like, I can smash you, I don't need to practice. And then you get the Asians who are a little shorter and they're like, we better figure this one out, otherwise we're going to get beat, you know? Yeah. So.
Starting point is 01:32:58 But you're spot on. I don't understand like, that's why it's essentially brainwashing. You could, for a good majority of the population, they'll say there's no genetic difference. between people. And you could stick in a Chinese person beside a Swedish person, for example. How could you ever look at both of them and say there's no genetic difference when it's as obvious? Using height as the easiest example, right? That is going to inform your worldview. Now, as I described with, you know, the brutish, the Vikings, they get big sticks, you can mash you,
Starting point is 01:33:37 and the Asians have all these crazy and technical weapons. But let's just say this. Yeah. Let's say we took a Swedish child and a Chinese child, and we raised them in the Yukon territory in Canada, just in wilderness. Yeah. The worldview of each of them will be very, very different because in nature, if you are bigger and taller, you have less fear of predators. If you are shorter, you are going to have probably a little bit more stress because there's going to be a greater degree of predators that are going to be an issue for you. that's just height. Yeah. Then you can factor in, the funny thing about skin color, too,
Starting point is 01:34:13 is how you'll react to exposure to sunlight and hot temperatures and climates. These don't just end with, you know, if you're six foot five, are you worried about a coyote versus if you're five foot one? Yeah. Shorter guy's going to be much more worried
Starting point is 01:34:28 about that coyote than the tall guy is, even though, to a certain degree, this is going to inform how you handle your governance. Yeah. You get a society of people who are all, even if a woman, the women on average are six, three, and the men are six, five,
Starting point is 01:34:40 they're going to be like, we don't need any laws governing the coyote problem. We just kick them. But if you get a culture that's shorter, they're going to be like, coyotes are banned. No pets are allowed.
Starting point is 01:34:50 And now you see how these things inform culture where, you know, for whatever reason, we're seeing a lot of Muslims try to ban dogs. Yeah. There's a racial component to the development of cultures
Starting point is 01:35:02 and the perception of the world that is being largely denied. Yeah. It is. Yeah. And by ignoring it or pretending it's not there, you're doing nobody any favors. I think it'd be much better.
Starting point is 01:35:15 Like, at the end of the day, it's just information. What you do with the information is another thing. But there's absolutely no reason to deny it or pretend it's not true. People go, you know, these, like IQ is a big thing that has, that is tied to genetics. 80% of IQ into adulthood, is linked to your genes.
Starting point is 01:35:41 Is that a bell curve citation or is that? I believe it's a lot of studies show that. It's more favorable when you're younger, but as you grow up, it cements itself more to genetics, but it is, it changes when you're younger. People go to the IQ tests are wrong or they don't actually measure. Anyone is allowed to come up with an IQ test
Starting point is 01:36:06 if they want. And the best IQ test, this is the way science works, will win out. If you come up with one that correlates to how well you do in school, correlates how well you do in these studies, and it's very good, it'll be the one that's used. Like these, they pretend that they're used to push people down or to discriminate is completely wrong. Oh, yeah, yeah. We had this issue in Chicago.
Starting point is 01:36:37 There was, I can't remember the full deal as a little kid, but there was like a performance test for a promotion in public services. And it was deemed racist because black people weren't passing it. And they argued it was made by white people. Therefore, it was made intentionally to. And it's just like, okay. Yeah. Yeah. No.
Starting point is 01:36:58 They try to come up with every excuse in the book that they say, oh, it's poverty. it's things like this that inform. And then you get the book, the bell curve, which I'm sure you're familiar with. And for those that are not familiar, when I said is that a bell curve citation? I'm referring to this book. There were two authors,
Starting point is 01:37:19 but nobody ever remember a second guy. They only ever remember Charles Murray. Did you know that he lives around here? Does he? Yeah, he actually plays, I don't know if they're going to get mad that I say this, but he wrote an op-ed. He plays poker all the time at our local poker room.
Starting point is 01:37:33 Okay. And the local guys don't know how famous he is. He's just an old man who plays poker and everybody knows him as Chuck or something. But he writes this book where he's like, they did the research. Across, accommodate, what is it, accounting for socioeconomic status, education,
Starting point is 01:37:53 they find unique bell curves among different racial groups. Yeah. It's, it's, what I am not interested in it is denying reality for the purpose of politics. Yeah, I'm the same. And like they do with this stuff, The way he approached it at the start of the chapter, he's very fair with it. He just says, this is what it is.
Starting point is 01:38:13 We're not trying to put anyone down. We're not trying to say anything. This is just what we found. And then to say, you know, socio-economic factors play a role. And of course, like if you're not getting the right nutrition, of course it will affect it. But most people like in the West were not malnourished, we're fine. where was that, genetics, malnourishment, poverty.
Starting point is 01:38:41 It like, they go on. Yeah, the IQ is tied to your socioeconomics. So the smarter you are, the better you do in school, the better you do in the job market. And then, you know, we're trying to pretend it's just socioeconomic, but then- It's the other way around. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:38:59 The studies find that a person of high IQ, so here's what they, here's what you can. get from the left. They say, no, it's not fair. If someone's poor, their IQ will be lower. Yeah. And when you start off with going to a poor person and then doing an IQ test and you find their IQ is lower, and then you go to a wealthy person and you find their IQ is higher, the left says, see, this proves it. Yeah. It proves that having wealth and access, it's bought on. However, yeah, when they do the long-term studies, what do they find? At a young age, when people are in similar, you take 10 kids in the same
Starting point is 01:39:34 neighborhood and you IQ test them. One kid's 100, one kid's 110, one kid's 120. 10 years later, what do you find? From the same neighborhood with the same level of wealth in their families, the guy at 120 is now a millionaire. The guy at 110 makes 200,000, and the guy at 100 is making 70.
Starting point is 01:39:53 So the left wants to play this game that it's not real, or they invert everything. Then there was a... Crime also plays a role in this too. I'm sure you're familiar with all this stuff that they say, you know, crime is because of poverty. And in fact, the inverse is true. Poverty is because of crime.
Starting point is 01:40:12 Yeah. So if we, I suppose the question that I have for you is, well, what do you do as a society? There's two questions here. The first is, Ireland is, you know, they say a nation, I always confuse it, but a nation is its people and its borders. A country is a border with government.
Starting point is 01:40:35 Ireland is a nation of the Irish, made by the Irish for the Irish, and there have always been in every country, you know, spatterings of people who are not citizens or immigrants. Yeah. What do you, there's a, I mean, there's like 17 questions I have to get through to make this. But the idea is like, what do you do government-wise when you are saying to this young Somali woman who won this, you know, Irish thing? how do you get back to being a nation of the Irish? Do you expel people who are not ethnically Irish? Do you block them from coming in? The big challenge seems to be we don't want to discriminate against an individual who has done nothing wrong,
Starting point is 01:41:17 who's a good person and tries to be a good citizen and adhere to the laws and the cultures. But at the same time, genetics plays a role in how our cultures form and our governance and what it means to be a nation. How do you solve for this? What do you do? Yeah. Well, I would say it's just a reversal of the trends. Like, we're moving in a direction where there's less Irish people by percent. All we need to do, essentially, is turn that around and moving in a direction where
Starting point is 01:41:45 Irish people are increasing by a percent. You don't have to do this big drastic, whatever, act starting off. You just have to reverse that trend. And essentially, you could just reduce immigration coming in. You can put in policies that, you know, promote people having kids, make people, like, I think if a young couple have a nest or a home to call their own, their spare bedrooms there, they're going to fill it up a lot of the time. And if they can afford it, the problem is that's not even available to them.
Starting point is 01:42:20 But you just move in a direction where, first of all, I'd get rid of anyone that's foreign that's committed a crime, gone. anyone that's foreign that hasn't assimilated or is acting aggressive towards the people and the state they're gone as well you then reduce immigration you I would say only take in high-skilled labour if there is labour shortages you can take in people
Starting point is 01:42:45 they can fill those labour shortages doesn't mean you offer them citizenship they come they work they make good money they bring that home with them and they you know they buy a house back home, whichever. You slowly keep doing that and you put in rules where there's no
Starting point is 01:43:05 foreign practices. So I'd include kosher and halal slaughter with that. And ban the burqa, do all this stuff and slowly what you're going to have is a reversal of the trends. You know, ban the burqa, it's interesting. I feel like our countries are unwilling to assert their cultural traditions.
Starting point is 01:43:25 It's so silly. I know I think Sweden has, I don't know if Sweden has done, but one of the European countries has just, it could be Denmark, just banned it outright. Why wouldn't you? Yep, nope, not interested. Yeah. It's fascinating this, and it's largely of the left. They argue that white people have no culture. Yeah, shakin. Yeah. And I'm like, well, they play the semantic game where they say, white is not a thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:43:52 German is a thing. Irish is a thing. And I'm like, well, you don't receive. them individually either. Yeah, yeah. You know, they can, I think Justin Trudeau said Canada has no culture. And I'm like, I think that was Trudeau. I could be wrong. I had, to misquote people. Let me make sure I'm right on that one.
Starting point is 01:44:08 Isn't that shocking for the prime minister, ex-prime minister to come out and say that? It's just a self-hatred. And he said they have no core identity or single mainstream culture, calling it the world's first post-national state. And that is, that is absolutely insane to me. Yeah. Right?
Starting point is 01:44:26 Yeah. Let me pull in the start. I was trying to make sure that I... That's like Trump pulled out and saying America has no culture. Shocking. He said there is no core identity, no mainstream in Canada.
Starting point is 01:44:37 Yeah, because they intentionally destroyed it. Yeah. Everybody knows that Canada has maple syrup. They have Putin. You know Putin is? Is that potato, I'll call it? French fries with cheese curds and gravy on top. Oh, different.
Starting point is 01:44:53 And... Puccine. I think of it. we call it. What is that? I'll call. Oh. It's like moonshine.
Starting point is 01:45:01 Yeah, yeah, yeah. No. It's made for potatoes or? I think so, yeah. I mean, it's made for potatoes. Monshine. We know what that is. They got that out in the country here.
Starting point is 01:45:10 Canada has a culture. Yeah, of course. They have, what do they? A, they say A at the end of every sentence. They have a spur of some way of talking. And it developed over hundreds of years of a unique people living in an area. And it is, wild that in the West there is this denial
Starting point is 01:45:28 of culture. And you know it's really fascinating? Let me let me let me we were talking about Japan and I was If they do have a culture then it's something to be protected and then what you do with that if it goes against this new liberal order of just no borders
Starting point is 01:45:46 everyone's the same. Yeah we were talking about Japan earlier because they're going through this population crisis and all that stuff so um we'll start with the stupidest question I can ask but it's fun anyway you know what Japan is You're familiar with some Japanese cities? Yeah. Tokyo? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:46:01 Have you ever heard of Okinawa? I have, yeah. Sounds familiar, right? What's that N1, Naosha? Nagasaki, there's Kyoto. Kyoto, I'm thinking of it. It's funny, because Tokyo, Kyoto. So here's the fascinating thing that I learned, because I know a little bit about Japan,
Starting point is 01:46:18 but I've been reading into it a lot because of the population crisis. And recently we've seen stories of Indian migrants and African migrants, raping women. Because Japan has been desperate for labor because their population is collapsing. Japan re-stratage now and they're targeting white Americans to move to Japan. And so they are promoting these videos where you'll see like a 26-year-old hippie dude from America wearing crystals. And he'll be like, he'll post a video on Instagram where he's like, this is the day in the life of riding to my countryside Japanese home. He's like, I wake up in the morning. And he's like a surfer dude with long hair and a crystal and his neck. And he's like, he's like,
Starting point is 01:46:55 like, I bought this five bedroom house for $25,000. And they're promoting these because they're like, hey, look, we don't want impoverished Indians, and we don't want African migrants to come in because they don't respect. They don't like anybody. Geigen, it means foreigner. They don't like anybody. But the people who are realizing in Japan, either the country retracts from population collapse and this is no civilization has survived it, either they bring in people or they retract.
Starting point is 01:47:24 I'm actually, I have no problem with retraction and rolling up my sleeves and doing the hard work. You know, I'm getting a little off subject, but I'm just going to say, you know, Trump's strategy is largely this. Like, close the borders down, restrict immigration, bring our working class back. It's going to get bad for everybody, but we're going to roll up our sleeves, do the hard work. I'm fine with that. Japan has this compromise where they're like, just bringing white people. Like, they're, they're peaceful, they're calm, they're generally going to be high skill. But we're talking about culture.
Starting point is 01:47:56 What fascinated me to learn while I'm looking at all these stories and understanding how they're dealing with it, I've heard of Okinawa, and a lot of people have. So here's Japan on the map. I want people to look at this map. Can we pull this up? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:48:07 Here's Japan, right? Yeah. Okinawa's down here. Oh, really? I think that's what it is. Okinawa's down here. It's an island. I didn't know that.
Starting point is 01:48:16 No. I have heard of Okinawa. I have no idea how far away it was from Japan. And you can look down here Look at this one I never even heard of this place Takatomi And I'm pretty sure this is Japanese
Starting point is 01:48:33 It looks like it might be I don't think it's Chinese Ishigaki sounds Japanese But I'm pretty sure Ishiagaki is Japan And it's so incredibly far away Actually I want to make sure Because it's not
Starting point is 01:48:46 Oh yeah no there you go Yeah it's Japan Look how far away This is right next to Taiwan how far away from Japan it actually is. And that's the point of culture, that the fact that there are people there, as far away as they are from the Japanese,
Starting point is 01:49:05 they are ethnically and culturally Japanese, despite being separated. Now, like, the United States, of course, we are a land that was conquered, and Hawaii was conquered. And so they are native Hawaiians. They are not the same as, like, the New Englander, you know, white Americans.
Starting point is 01:49:22 Yeah. The United States has a culture, and of course it's fair to say that the United States is a, I don't call it colonize, I say it's a conquered land. We came here, there were a people, we settled on certain lands that were uninhabited, and we took lands that were not. And this happens all across the world. Well, you made a country out of just land, like many of these places. You know, they saw, we conquered it and all that. But the people who conquered it created, it's the same with Australia. They created Australia.
Starting point is 01:49:53 Right. It's there the founders. I have no, no issue. You know what's funny is Mexico is, if you don't talk about a conquered land. Yeah. The Spanish coming in and just wiping out the Aztecs and the Inkins. Yeah. But, you know, I think there's an important thing that is to be said, and we need to stop.
Starting point is 01:50:09 I'm a big fan of Matt Walsh. Yeah. And he makes the point that the Aztecs, they were savages. And we need to stop pretending and playing this game of, they call it the noble savage myth. Aztecs were sacrificing children to make it rain, to make the crops grow. That's an absurdity. When the European colonists came to the United States, it wasn't the same as when the further north you get, the more chill it was because of winter. But in the United States, I have no illusions.
Starting point is 01:50:40 Yeah, we conquered this land. I'm not going to claim that every land was owned by someone. That's silly. You get these leftists, they say, oh, the Native Americans in this place. And I'm like, listen, it was, it was, you know, hundreds of thousands of acres or whatever of uninhabited wilderness. There were people there. Some of them left freely. Some of them did not.
Starting point is 01:51:01 Some of them fought wars and lost. Every nation has their history of conquest. Of course. We're not going to play the stupid game where it's like you lose your land now. No. I will say what's fascinating is how, you know, Ireland is kind of the inverse. You are the indigenous who defended your land for hundreds of years and maintained your culture. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:51:19 they still want to we race it. That's it. Like if these people that are civic nationalists now and believe, you know, anyone can come in and be Irish, were we English when we were in the British Empire, you know? Essentially, were we English or we were Irish? Because in their few, we would have been English. We would have been British.
Starting point is 01:51:39 You know, it's so fascinating. Yeah. That, and then you stopped being British the moment, the name change, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. And those people, why do you? did they want a land of their own and to be ruled by their own? And these topics are completely, they don't, they don't even, they don't want to address them.
Starting point is 01:51:59 They pretend now it's just, they're giving all the power to the state, essentially. They're saying, look, the state decides who's Irish. The state decides who lives beside us. You know what's really funny is I wonder if this has been done. You can make a video where you line up like five people. And then, and you ask them, who's the Irishman? And then it's like you get a Norwegian, you get an American who is 100% Irish, like second or third generation. And then you get a Somali born in Ireland.
Starting point is 01:52:29 And you ask the question. And the funny thing is, the left is going to. They wouldn't answer. They're too scared. They know. Well, I think if you go to a small town with pride flags everywhere and you said, you know, you'd have to approach it an interesting way. you'd have to be like, hey, we're doing trivia for, you know, it's a hundred bucks, it's a game show. You ask, first you ask them, because you can't just walk into it, otherwise I'll get you.
Starting point is 01:52:54 You ask them a question like, what is the capital of, you know, the state of Illinois? And they'll be like, oh, man, for $100, it's Springfield, oh, you win. And then you'll be like, what, you know, what nation is to the west of Great Britain, you know, and actually shares a border? Yeah. And they'll be like, Ireland, you're correct. Okay, now here's the next one. Here's a picture. Which one is the Irish person?
Starting point is 01:53:20 See, what they're going to say? They're going to point to the white person. Yeah. They're going to be like, you have a Chinese guy. Yeah. You have a Somali person. And then you get an American-born white Irish, you know, and then you have the Somali who's born in Ireland of Irish citizenship. And then watch them all pick the white American.
Starting point is 01:53:36 Oh, I'm sorry. That's an American. Yeah. Why did you think that? Exactly. Catch them out. Yeah, it's shocking. The whole, their whole world view doesn't make any sense.
Starting point is 01:53:48 We've gone from a man is a woman to now, to essentially now a Somalian is an Irish person, even Congolese, wherever. It's just, and the fact that you have to defend this or argue it. Well, we have a few minutes left. I'll just ask you, why should there be a country for Irish people? Why should there should be a country? because I believe people deserve,
Starting point is 01:54:19 I believe people deserve a homeland to call their own to be surrounded by their own people and ruled by their own. This, like, a problem nowadays is boomers with an ideology that they grew up in a classroom surrounded by people like them. Same traditions, same customs, same backgrounds,
Starting point is 01:54:43 all came from the same place. They're denying that same right to future generations, pretending as if it means nothing. Yeah. I think it means everything. I think it's important people grow up surrounded by people that are similar to them. I read a lot of psychology books and you prefer people that are similar to you. You want to find likeness in others. The more different you are, the more diverse people are, the more you tend to draw away.
Starting point is 01:55:11 More fighting. More fighting, of course, yeah. Yeah, so I think... You know, I think the... We call it the Davos group, right? This powerful international elites, millionaires, billionaires, whatever you're going to call them. Their view is, you know, they probably agree with you. That, you know, in a place like Ireland with so many people who are ethnically Irish, they are going to want to be around each other.
Starting point is 01:55:34 Yeah, you know, if we get rid of that, we get rid of conflict, right? If we tell everybody they got to live next to each other, we mix cultures, we make. mixed races and then in a hundred years everybody is the same they're just human nobody will fight anymore will they yeah and you know my view of that is that's a disgusting planet yeah yeah i look you know i got i i got friends of all different racial backgrounds i got people friends who are trans you know live you know i'm i'm fairly libertarian to a certain degree i i don't want anyone to get hurt yeah do your thing just don't hurt others but there are issues of of when someone would influence negative things to your culture that cause damage. The world I would love to be in,
Starting point is 01:56:17 we can get rid of war. We can evolve beyond war, and we don't have to erase what makes the spice of, like the spice of the earth. That is the fact that we know what Ireland represents here in America and why Americans want to visit Dublin. Yeah. Because it's a pint of Guinness. And we have a facsimile that is not the same. And we know it. We know that the Guinness in Dublin is ten times better than the Guinness they give us. Yeah. We want to go. We want to go. go there and we want to experience real Ireland. Yeah. I am terrified of a world where my child or, you know, future children will be like, oh, we're so excited to go visit Dublin. And when they get there, all it is is Hard Rock Cafe,
Starting point is 01:56:53 McDonald's and Starbucks. Yeah. It's all wrong, isn't it? Which it's turning into. Yeah, yeah. I will say the funny thing is in the United States, we have every Irish pub is called Paddies. And there's like past and all my lilies on the way here. Did you really? We have a Paddy's pub and it's awesome in Charlestown. Yeah. I don't want to go to Germany and be served a hot dog. I want Schnitzel.
Starting point is 01:57:16 Yeah. I'd like to go to China and have, is Peking duck Chinese? I don't know. I don't know. Whatever. Oh, yeah. I want to go to Thailand to have pot Thai. Yeah. The world that these people are building is one where every country just serves the same generic garbage food. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:57:30 There's no flavor. There's no interest. And your, that worldview is much more beautiful than the alternative. Like a German Germany and then you go to a France. that is French, a Spain that is Spanish, rather than all of them being one of the same. You know what happens when you mix all the different paint colors together? Oh, yeah. You get a sludge.
Starting point is 01:57:53 You get like a weird brownish gray. And the argument is a rainbow is beautiful for the differences in the colors next to each other. Not when you mix it all together and you get just white. You know, on the color spectrum. Or if you mix all the different paints together and you get blackish-brown, a grayish sludge. I'm terrified of a future in which we don't have flavor.
Starting point is 01:58:17 We don't have new things to experience, new people to meet. Are we really going to become a world where Beijing and Ireland are functionally identical in every single way from language to television shows? Yeah. That's scary. That's globalization, yeah. Yeah. And I think the attitude of a lot of these elites is that's their vision of the future. future and they think it's a good thing.
Starting point is 01:58:41 Yeah. Plus, we can't compete like, Europe can't compete with the likes of India, which has 1.5 billion people. It's just, it's impossible. Like, if we don't have borders in Ireland, then there's no limit to how many people can come in. India is a big country with a lot of people. You know what I think?
Starting point is 01:59:05 Yeah. This all just comes down to everyone's got to have more babies. And I understand easier said than done. But when women have lots of kids, and many women have kids, the voting priorities become for those kids. And I think that's why they, I say they, but like powerful media, political interests
Starting point is 01:59:25 are trying to tell women not to have children using social media to do so. In the United States, the data shows that women with children vote Republican. Because the Republican ideology is your kids will be safe, they'll have a better life. is you can party.
Starting point is 01:59:39 I don't know how we reverse that, but I, you know, I will say it does feel like we are kind of. There was a, I think in Europe, correct if I'm wrong, but there's been a big shift towards curtailing a lot of this mass migration now in, we've seen it for a while, but now it seems to be getting more prominent. Yeah, like Austria's fair right party,
Starting point is 01:59:58 I shouldn't even call them fair right party. Moderate conservative party. Are pulling up 40%, even in Ireland. Like the biggest problem with, with Ireland is there's a lot of people on the right that want to stop
Starting point is 02:00:13 immigration. We just don't have the political vehicle yet. There's no organized, there's very bad organization and there's no representation. And that's what it's causing a lot of, you know, people are, we call it politically homeless. They have no one to go to
Starting point is 02:00:29 in Ireland. That's pretty wild that. Yeah. The, for a country that fought so hard or an Irish identity for independence, for a nation,
Starting point is 02:00:43 to not have a political party that represents the interests of the Irish is weird. It's very strange. Our main parties, a girl called Helen McEntee, this is the way it's gone. Like everyone else,
Starting point is 02:00:58 a lot of the European, northern European countries now are going back on gender identity. We're speeding up on it. Really? Yeah, yeah. Helen McEntee was the, Minister for Children and Youth. She introduced a whole new curriculum teaching young kids about
Starting point is 02:01:14 gender identity. There's a book called Busy Bodies, which was introduced by the HSE. And that tells 8 to 12 year olds. Your sex could be male or female. But you ever feel like, you know, you're not a girl, you're not a boy. And it's teaching these to kids. Her husband, which is crazy, sits on the board of Abfi as the director of market access and they do puberty blocking hormones. Yeah. And this is, this is, so I thought in the Westwick, we were just
Starting point is 02:01:46 winning this one. Yeah, yeah, thought so. I thought you'd think it was over. In Ireland they're like playing catch up in, you know, from 2020 ideology. It's, yeah, it's very strange. There were a lot of pride festival there this week. We're
Starting point is 02:02:01 just about at time, but one last question for you. Do you ever think you think Irish Irish reunification is a thing that'll happen or is like, is it largely a moot point at this point because you can freely travel and... No, I definitely think it's possible. I actually think, I think
Starting point is 02:02:16 if we had good governance in Ireland and we were strict on immigration, we prioritized our own people, I think it would be much more likely to see a United Ireland because Northern Ireland would look at us and say I want a bit of that.
Starting point is 02:02:32 I actually think the migration issue may be the biggest catalyst for what reunifies Ireland. 100%. If we can get, if we can sort the migration issue and prioritize our own people, I can see people in the north voting to... It's pretty weird. Hundreds of years of conflict and ideological, you know,
Starting point is 02:02:55 violence. And then the Northern, the Irish and the Northern Irish are, do they call themselves the Northern Irish? Or what do they say? British. Yeah, yeah. They just look.
Starting point is 02:03:05 look at each other and they're like, you know, we're not so different, huh? Did you ever see that meme of the two white guys and go? Oh, and then the Sudanese guy, like, yeah, it's like the two white guys and they're fighting. And the Sudanese guy butcher somebody and they're like, maybe we're not so different. After all, yeah. But that's, that's the joke conspiracy theory that, you know, the powers that be were like, look, we're never going to stop this fighting between the Northern Ireland and Ireland. We got to bring as many non-Irish and then make them band together with a common enemy.
Starting point is 02:03:35 Yeah. There's a lot more, obviously, we could talk about, but it's been really great to have you. And I suppose what's really fascinating to me is just the parallels between what was happening with, like, the banking industry, with the institutions. Yeah. It's like identical. And it's on purpose, right? There's no way these same things happened in both our countries with the same results and the same solutions unless somebody said, we're going to do this. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:04:00 There's almost, with banks, there's almost a reason to have. have a crisis because all of a sudden the government has to borrow a lot of money and the people printing it and getting rewarded for it are those people who are you are you optimistic am i am yeah i'm very optimistic actually i think a lot of people get blackpilled because they see the things happening and it's not happening fast enough but at the end of day it was never going to be easy the best things usually do take time And, you know, it's probably going to be a long, it's probably going to be a long, drawn out fight,
Starting point is 02:04:40 longer than people think. But it's good to just, I would say it's, you probably would say also, it's good for people to be politically aware and get involved. I think it would be very rewarding. And at the end of day, like, if you think, you know, the government isn't working for you or things aren't going in the right direction,
Starting point is 02:05:00 get involved, do something. Right on, man. This has been a lot of fine. I appreciate you coming out and sitting down with me. Appreciate you having me, Tim. Where can people find you? Instagram, Facebook, YouTube as well, and if they just type Michael McCarty,
Starting point is 02:05:13 I should come up. Yeah, I feel like it's for you on, like your Instagram, popping up on my feet all the time. Relevant news, relevant issues, and I think people are starting to pay attention, wake up. The shift is happening, so there's going to do some good stuff.
Starting point is 02:05:29 Well, thanks for hanging out. We appreciate you being here. Thank you for having me, Tim. Absolutely. For everybody else. You can follow me on X and Instagram. at Timcast. I hope you guys are ready for an awesome holiday weekend. Make the most of it. Have a burger, hang out with the family, crack a beer, whatever is you got to do. This is the time to celebrate
Starting point is 02:05:43 how we stood up for ourselves how the people who built this country stood up for themselves refused to let someone tell them what they must do, how they must live, what they must believe. And they said, I would sacrifice my blood, my treasure and my family for what is right. And that is the American way. So thanks for hanging out. And we'll see y'all next time.
