Thank you so much. Good morning. Well, my 15 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:57,600 friend Aarn mckensire has already done a takedown of James 16 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:03,399 Lindsay for his latest insane meltdown. But I'd like to 17 00:01:03,439 --> 00:01:07,799 address something and take it from a different perspective when 18 00:01:07,879 --> 00:01:14,239 it comes to mister Lindsey. So everybody knows that mister Lindsey, oh, 19 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,680 he is the greatest at exposing the woke. Oh my goodness, 20 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,719 I read his book and I've never been able to 21 00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:24,000 understand it any better. Oh, my God, like Paul Godfrey 22 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,719 didn't write these write two books about this twenty five 23 00:01:26,799 --> 00:01:33,000 years ago. We'll get back to that. So what kind 24 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:38,359 of books did James Lindsay write before he exposed the woke? 25 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,599 So let's see. There's a book called Everybody Is Wrong 26 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,799 About God that he wrote. What a forward by Peter Bagoshian. 27 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,079 And the description of it is, it's a call to 28 00:01:51,159 --> 00:01:56,719 action to address people psychological and social motives for a 29 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:01,640 belief in God, rather than debate the existence of God 30 00:02:02,519 --> 00:02:07,719 with every argument. And this is from the uh, this 31 00:02:07,799 --> 00:02:13,080 is from the introduction, and oh it says here James 32 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,280 Lindsay holds degrees in physics and mathematics, with a doctorate 33 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:21,000 in mathematics. He's authored two previous previous books, including Dot 34 00:02:21,039 --> 00:02:27,479 Dot Dot and Plus God Equals Folly. He lives in Knoxville, Tennessee. 35 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,159 So the introduction says, with every argument for theism long 36 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,879 since discredited, the result is that atheism has become little 37 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,159 more than the noises reasonable people make in the presence 38 00:02:41,159 --> 00:02:46,280 of unjustified religious beliefs, thus engaging an interminable debate with 39 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,680 religious believers about the existence of God has become exactly 40 00:02:49,719 --> 00:02:51,960 the wrong way for non believers to try to deal 41 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,879 with misguided and often dangerous belief in higher power. The key, 42 00:02:57,199 --> 00:03:00,840 author James Lindsay argues is to stop that particular conversation. 43 00:03:01,199 --> 00:03:04,080 He demonstrates that whenever people say they believe in God, 44 00:03:04,479 --> 00:03:09,039 they are really telling us they have certain physiologic, psychological, 45 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,280 and social needs that we don't know how to meet. 46 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,719 Lindsey then provides more productive avenues of discussion and action. 47 00:03:17,479 --> 00:03:21,639 Once non believers understand this simple point and drop the 48 00:03:21,759 --> 00:03:25,719 very label of atheists, they will be able to change 49 00:03:25,759 --> 00:03:28,639 the way we all think about, talk about, and act 50 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:34,639 about this troublesome notion called God. And then this is 51 00:03:34,919 --> 00:03:39,719 from the introduction. It says many people still adhere to 52 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,960 faith based thinking, including belief in God. This needs this 53 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,080 needs to be remedied, and by drawing upon the contributions 54 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,840 to the many talented individuals who have worked for this goal, 55 00:03:49,879 --> 00:03:53,080 we can do it. The seventh chapter gives some specific 56 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:58,400 suggestions for how it might start being done. Further, secularism 57 00:03:58,479 --> 00:04:03,759 must be demanded and may maintained. The eighth chapter addresses 58 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,800 that topic. We also need to change what we argue 59 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,840 about and how we do it when it comes to 60 00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:12,680 the role of religion and society, particularly dropping any respect 61 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,560 for the idea of theism. This will change the fights 62 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,319 that we should be fighting in the way in which 63 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,199 we undertake them. And in the ninth chapter this cover 64 00:04:21,399 --> 00:04:23,959 will be this topic will be covered in detail. The 65 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,120 tenth chapter is dedicated to offering suggestions on how we 66 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:31,000 might fill the psychological and social gaps that people use 67 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,879 God to ignore or fill. Cultivating ways in which we 68 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,600 can help people learn to fill those gaps is likely 69 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,839 to be very helpful, if not necessary, to create creating 70 00:04:42,879 --> 00:04:47,959 and maintaining a stable post post faith society. He wants 71 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,879 to create and maintain a stable, post post faith society. 72 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,959 The eleventh chapter makes a call for how we might 73 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,800 service these goals and handle some issues that are likely 74 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:05,519 to arise as we shift to a post faith, posttheistic society. 75 00:05:07,399 --> 00:05:09,079 So why do I bring this all up? I mean 76 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:14,680 he's harmless, right, I mean who cares? You know? Well, 77 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,480 this is a guy who gets invited to pastors' conferences 78 00:05:21,199 --> 00:05:26,639 to talk about the woke. Okay, this is somebody who, 79 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:32,920 if you believe in God, he hates you. He wants 80 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:38,839 to destroy your belief and you make excuses for him 81 00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:43,319 because he can explain something to you that other people 82 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:48,839 can explain too. And why do you accept James Lindsey 83 00:05:49,079 --> 00:05:53,439 instead of people like, oh, I don't know Paul Gottfried 84 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:59,560 or anyone in our sphere because you've bought into the 85 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:05,920 post World War two consensus. You're just an anti fascist. 86 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:11,920 You're basically antifa. You would rather listen to a leftist, 87 00:06:13,319 --> 00:06:16,600 somebody who hates you, somebody who hates every somebody who 88 00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:21,079 wants to destroy the world you live in, somebody who 89 00:06:21,079 --> 00:06:24,240 wants to destroy your thought once it changed the way 90 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:36,199 you think ultimately, because right wing bad because right wingers 91 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:41,360 are they're because left wingers are they what's what's the 92 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,560 old terminology? How do they say that they? Meanwhile, they're 93 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:50,439 just misguided and right wingers are just malicious. You have 94 00:06:50,639 --> 00:06:54,040 that in your head you would rather have You would 95 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:58,560 rather listen to a left winger explain something to you 96 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,279 about this than a right winger because you would think 97 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,399 instinctively you may not even this is subconscious to you 98 00:07:07,439 --> 00:07:11,720 that you think that, oh, I know he doesn't agree 99 00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:14,959 with me, but he really means well, the right winger. 100 00:07:15,439 --> 00:07:18,480 The right winger just wants to put people in camps. 101 00:07:18,519 --> 00:07:22,800 Pus these people in camps. But James Lindsay wants us 102 00:07:22,839 --> 00:07:27,040 to understand these people. James Lindsay has said over and 103 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:33,120 over again on Twitter that he would rather the woke 104 00:07:33,279 --> 00:07:37,240 left win take over this world and the world be woke, 105 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:48,040 than someone like myself be in charge of it. He'd 106 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,920 rather see the woke win than a right winger. He'd 107 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,720 rather see the woke win than Charles Hay would be 108 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,800 in charge, or in McIntyre be in charge, or at 109 00:07:56,879 --> 00:08:02,120 least the way they think their thought process. James Lindsay 110 00:08:02,639 --> 00:08:07,639 hates you, and you make excuses because well, you know, 111 00:08:07,759 --> 00:08:10,519 he he explains to woke and every day he told 112 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:15,279 me about you know, some obscure you know, Brazilian, Brazilian 113 00:08:15,319 --> 00:08:19,480 guy who the other they that's how our education system 114 00:08:19,519 --> 00:08:24,439 is run now. Paul Godfrey told you about this twenty 115 00:08:24,439 --> 00:08:29,240 five years ago. He wrote those books twenty five years ago, 116 00:08:29,519 --> 00:08:36,960 explains it perfectly. And what and what Paul Godfrey's Jewish 117 00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:40,159 I mean, if you're really, if you've really swallowed the 118 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,480 whole post World War two consensus, you should love him 119 00:08:43,519 --> 00:08:45,279 and want to protect him and do everything you can 120 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:50,440 for him. Now, just go with this atheist who hates 121 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,720 you and wants to destroy your world. Not only wants 122 00:08:54,720 --> 00:09:00,159 to destroy your world, but thanks, you're mentally ill if 123 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,279 you believe, if you have any faith in God whatsoever. 124 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,879 Oh and by the way, this isn't only the Christian 125 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:12,600 this is every god. Okay, this is anyone who believes 126 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,960 in any kind of even the old gods. He wants 127 00:09:17,039 --> 00:09:20,679 to destroy you. He wants to destroy the way you think. 128 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:26,720 He wants you to live in Bill Clinton's world. He 129 00:09:26,759 --> 00:09:29,720 wants to go back to the nineteen nineties. He wants 130 00:09:29,759 --> 00:09:32,080 you to live. He wants to live in Bill Clinton's 131 00:09:32,159 --> 00:09:36,039 the paradise to Bill Clinton built for people like him 132 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:40,480 and Dave Rubin and basically all the homosexuals that were 133 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:45,440 just like, oh well, you know, it's like, look how 134 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,200 great the nineties were. We could do anything we wanted. 135 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:55,080 It was pure anarchy. That's James Lindsay. That's what James 136 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,600 Lindsay wants for you. If you believe in God. If 137 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:04,480 you yeah, that's and you'll make excuses because you bought 138 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:09,440 the book he grifted off of you. How could somebody 139 00:10:09,519 --> 00:10:14,039 write those books talk about how even the very belief 140 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,039 in God needs to be destroyed, and not only that, 141 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,279 but that you have psychological problems that needs to be 142 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,120 addressed if you believe in God. And then he writes 143 00:10:23,159 --> 00:10:26,720 a couple of books and a bunch of retearted right 144 00:10:26,759 --> 00:10:31,039 wingers and evangelicals decide, oh, James Lindsay, can teach me 145 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,039 a whole bunch of stuff. We're gonna invite this guy 146 00:10:33,039 --> 00:10:39,120 who fucking hates us to come and speak at at 147 00:10:39,159 --> 00:10:46,080 our conference. And he's just laughing all the way to 148 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:50,840 the bank, just taking your money, taking money from people 149 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:56,919 that he considers to be basically fucking retearted because they 150 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,639 believe in God. Do you hear the language that here? 151 00:11:01,279 --> 00:11:07,159 On and again with every argument for theism long since discredited. 152 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,000 The result is that atheism has become little more than 153 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,039 the noises reasonable people make in the presence of unjustified 154 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:19,480 religious beliefs. Thus, engaging an interminable debate with religious believers 155 00:11:19,519 --> 00:11:23,159 about the existence of God has become exactly the wrong 156 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,039 way for non believers to try to deal with misguided, 157 00:11:26,799 --> 00:11:32,360 an often dangerous belief in a higher power. The key author, 158 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,360 James Lindsay argues is to stop that particular conversation. He 159 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,960 demonstrates that whenever people say they believe in God, they 160 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,039 are really telling us that they have certain psychological and 161 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,799 social needs that they do not know how to meet. 162 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:53,919 He's saying, you're mentally ill, and this is who you defend. 163 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:55,799 Oh well, I just like the way he teaches me 164 00:11:55,840 --> 00:12:01,240 about the woke. You've gotten him rich. I've never bought 165 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,000 one book of his. I've never gone to a conference 166 00:12:04,039 --> 00:12:06,200 with him, had a chance to have him on my show. 167 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,279 Wasn't gonna have him on my show? What fucking leftist? 168 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,679 Fucking leftist? Why the fuck would I haven't? Oh? He 169 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,960 wrote some fake papers with Helen Pluckrose, his friend. Have 170 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,360 you ever looked at this woman? Would you have her? 171 00:12:20,519 --> 00:12:23,879 Would you have these? Would you have these people in 172 00:12:23,919 --> 00:12:27,639 your house for dinner? Would you invite these people to 173 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:38,240 Thanksgiving dinner? Would you invite the fucking devil into your house? Fuck? Unbelievable. 174 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:44,120 See you in a couple of days. Bye, good morning. 175 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:49,559 All right. I thought I would UH cover something since 176 00:12:49,919 --> 00:12:52,600 it seems like all we're talking about lately is what's 177 00:12:52,639 --> 00:12:57,480 happening with the uh with the flooding, the storm, another 178 00:12:57,519 --> 00:13:00,159 storm heading to Florida, and these are things that have 179 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,240 to be covered, but I'm waiting to get more information 180 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,320 before I do that. I'm getting a lot of information 181 00:13:05,399 --> 00:13:09,279 on the ground. Old Glory Club has said people on 182 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,080 the ground, still people on the ground there in the 183 00:13:12,159 --> 00:13:16,799 Carolinas and Tennessee. So try to get some information in 184 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,679 the next couple of days. We'll definitely be talking about 185 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,559 that on our live stream tomorrow night Thursday night at 186 00:13:22,639 --> 00:13:27,320 eight eastern Old Glory Club channel on YouTube. We live 187 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:35,039 stream there every week. But let us not forget about immigration. 188 00:13:35,639 --> 00:13:42,559 And Christopher Rufo not a ye, not our guy, I 189 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,039 would say, but definitely does some good work out there 190 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:50,360 and is adjacent in some ways, but you know, like 191 00:13:50,399 --> 00:13:55,919 I said, not our guy, but useful in many ways. 192 00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,519 He and Christina Buttons penned a piece for City Journal 193 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:05,919 talking about Charlroi, Pennsylvania, and it's a short piece but 194 00:14:06,039 --> 00:14:10,960 it goes over and pretty much shows how all of 195 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,519 this immigration is happening and in many ways this is 196 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,559 this is like Springfield, but a much smaller town. But 197 00:14:19,799 --> 00:14:24,679 as you'll see, the numbers are just as crazy. So 198 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:31,320 I'll start reading. It's entitled A Troubled Place in Charloroi, Pennsylvania. 199 00:14:31,399 --> 00:14:36,480 The local population grapples with the surge of Haitian migrants. Charloi, Pennsylvania, 200 00:14:36,519 --> 00:14:39,240 is a deeply troubled place. The former steel town builds 201 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:45,200 along a stretch of the Monongala. Somebody's gonna correct me 202 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,840 on that, and I don't really care. River south of 203 00:14:47,879 --> 00:14:51,480 Pittsburgh has experienced a typical rust belt rise and fall. 204 00:14:51,919 --> 00:14:55,360 The industrial economy, which had turned into something resembling a 205 00:14:55,399 --> 00:14:59,159 company town, hollowed out after the Second World War. Sum 206 00:14:59,279 --> 00:15:03,159 residents fled to others, succumb to vices. The steel mills disappeared. 207 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,679 Two drug abuse treatment centers have since opened their doors. 208 00:15:07,639 --> 00:15:12,480 The mills disappeared because they sent them overseas. You know, 209 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:17,679 all much of this is just sent overseas. People can 210 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:22,720 make the excuses about robotics, and it got sent overseas. 211 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,399 The town's population has steadily declined since the middle of 212 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,919 the twentieth century, with the most recent census reporting slightly 213 00:15:32,519 --> 00:15:37,440 more than four thousand residents. Then suddenly things changed. Local 214 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:42,279 officials estimate that approximately two thousand, predominantly Haitian migrants have 215 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,440 moved in. The Town's Belgium Club and Slovak Club are 216 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,840 mostly quiet nowadays, while the Haitians and other recent immigrants 217 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:54,120 have quickly established their presence, even dominance, in a dilapidated 218 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:58,679 quartered corridor downtown. The change, the replacement of the old 219 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,679 ethnics with the new ethnic is an archetypal American story, 220 00:16:02,919 --> 00:16:05,919 and as in the past, it has caused anxieties and 221 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,679 at times conflict. The municipal government had felt the strain. 222 00:16:11,039 --> 00:16:14,399 The town, already struggled with high rates of poverty and unemployment, 223 00:16:14,879 --> 00:16:18,480 has been forced to assimilate thousands of new arrivals. The 224 00:16:18,519 --> 00:16:22,039 schools now crowd with new Haitian pupils and have had 225 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,759 to hire translators and English teachers. Oh wow, that I mean, 226 00:16:26,799 --> 00:16:28,639 there are some people out there will tell you that 227 00:16:28,759 --> 00:16:32,840 was that's good for the economy. It's really I mean, 228 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,120 they had to bring them in from outside, but I'm 229 00:16:36,159 --> 00:16:38,879 sure it's good for the economy. People are making money, 230 00:16:38,919 --> 00:16:45,960 they're paying taxes. They're good. They're they're good economic widgets. 231 00:16:46,919 --> 00:16:49,639 They could be replaced easy. If you think of them 232 00:16:49,679 --> 00:16:55,600 as a widget. They have no importance as people. Some 233 00:16:55,679 --> 00:16:59,519 of the old pipes downtown have started releasing the smell 234 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,559 of suit and according to a town councilman, there's a 235 00:17:02,919 --> 00:17:06,440 growing sense of trepidation about the alarming number of car crashes, 236 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,599 with some vehicles reported as slamming into buildings. I think 237 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,160 we've If you know anything about what's going on in Springfield, Basically, 238 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:18,039 these Haitians come in and they just give them drivers' 239 00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:22,039 licenses and give them money to buy cars. They don't 240 00:17:22,079 --> 00:17:26,319 test them, they just give them. So they're driving around. 241 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,400 They don't know how to drive, and they're killing people, 242 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:36,920 crashing into property. Everything. Among the city's old guard, frustrations 243 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,920 are starting to boil over. Instead of being used to 244 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:43,720 revitalize these communities, these residents areu resources get redirected to 245 00:17:43,759 --> 00:17:46,519 the new arrivals, who undercut wages, drive rents up, and 246 00:17:46,599 --> 00:17:49,880 so far have failed to assimilate. Worst of all, these 247 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,720 residents say they had no choice. There was never a 248 00:17:52,799 --> 00:17:59,359 vote on the question of migration. It's simply materialized. Former 249 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,240 President Donald Trump, echoing the sentiments of some of Charlroi's 250 00:18:02,279 --> 00:18:05,200 native citizens, has cast to change in a sinister light. 251 00:18:05,599 --> 00:18:08,559 As he told the crowded a recent rally Indiana Pennsylvania, 252 00:18:09,039 --> 00:18:12,599 it takes centuries to build the unique character of each state, 253 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,799 but reckless migration policy can change it quickly and permanently 254 00:18:17,519 --> 00:18:20,960 progressive as expected, countered with the usual arguments claiming that 255 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,559 Trump was stoking fear and citing nativist resentment and even 256 00:18:24,599 --> 00:18:28,799 putting the Haitian migrants in danger. There's no danger from 257 00:18:28,839 --> 00:18:32,119 them driving cars around and crashing into people, but you know, 258 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,519 I mean, how running people over? But you know, well, 259 00:18:35,559 --> 00:18:38,880 we have to worry about people rising up and saying 260 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,960 we're not going to take it here. Neither side, however, 261 00:18:43,039 --> 00:18:46,319 seems to have grappled with the mechanics of Charlaroi's abrupt transformation. 262 00:18:46,519 --> 00:18:49,119 Had thousands of Haitians end up in a tiny burrow 263 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,440 in western Pennsylvania? What are they doing there? In quemono? 264 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:58,119 Who benefits? The answers to these questions have ramifications not 265 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,519 only for Charleroi, but for the general trajectory of mass 266 00:19:01,559 --> 00:19:04,680 migration under the Biden administration, which has allowed up to 267 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,279 seven million migrants to enter the United States, either illegally 268 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:12,440 or as with some three hundred and nine thousand Haitians 269 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:17,359 under ad hoc asylum rules. I think he's using seven 270 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:22,440 million there, and the numbers I've seen are far beyond that. 271 00:19:23,079 --> 00:19:25,400 And I'm not going to get into that right now, 272 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,559 but you can look that up yourself. The basic pattern 273 00:19:29,559 --> 00:19:32,839 in Charleroi has been replicated in thousands of cities and 274 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,000 towns across America. The federal government has opened the borders 275 00:19:36,039 --> 00:19:40,319 to all comers, a web of publicly funded NGOs. Publicly 276 00:19:40,319 --> 00:19:44,200 funded means the government's giving them money. They're not non 277 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:49,400 governmental organizations and GOO stands for non governmental organizations, but 278 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:55,480 they're getting government money to operate. So you deal with 279 00:19:55,519 --> 00:19:59,319 the contradiction. I've already dealt with it. A web of 280 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,759 publicly fund that NGOs has facilitated the flow of migrants 281 00:20:02,799 --> 00:20:06,119 within the country. Local industries have welcome the arrival of cheap, 282 00:20:06,319 --> 00:20:10,559 pliant labor, and under the enormous pressures, places like Charleroi 283 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,559 often revert to an older form, that of the company town, 284 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,839 in which an open conspiracy of government, charity, and industry 285 00:20:17,039 --> 00:20:20,440 reshapes the society to its advantage, whether the citizens once 286 00:20:20,519 --> 00:20:25,240 it or not. What he says plant labor here, it 287 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,960 reminds me of I knew somebody who ran a business 288 00:20:29,839 --> 00:20:34,359 and they would only hire people from I would say 289 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,960 eighty percent of his workforce was from a local halfway house. 290 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:44,079 I mean somebody who's halfway between prison and being released 291 00:20:44,799 --> 00:20:47,119 and I'm sure you all know that sound like an 292 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:51,960 idiot trying to explain it to you. Why well, because 293 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,640 if they screw up, they report that back to the 294 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,160 house and the person gets busted back to prison. So 295 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,920 you know, if they if somebody questions something, if somebody, 296 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:07,039 I mean you just basically it's the same thing here. 297 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,759 It's like, well you either do exactly as we say. 298 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,319 And what I've said about this whole thing from the 299 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,640 beginning is especially after I learned about what was going 300 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:21,240 on in Springfield and how this whole what he calls 301 00:21:22,559 --> 00:21:26,240 open conspiracy of charity industry and every I mean just 302 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:31,119 basically like this thing that really should qualifies for RICO 303 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,200 for under the RICO Act is that I think the 304 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:40,039 Haitians and a lot of these immigrants, these people, illegals, 305 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:45,440 foreigners are victims too. That doesn't mean that I don't 306 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,079 think that they should go back to where they're from. 307 00:21:48,039 --> 00:21:52,799 I think we're all victims in this, but they should 308 00:21:52,799 --> 00:21:55,920 still go back to where they're from. So, yeah, they 309 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,200 have plant labor, they can basically tell them to do 310 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:03,480 what they want on the know or report them in 311 00:22:03,519 --> 00:22:05,759 some way and get them deported or something like that. 312 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,200 The best way to understand the migrant crisis is to 313 00:22:09,319 --> 00:22:12,759 follow the flow of people, money, and power. In other words, 314 00:22:12,799 --> 00:22:15,839 to trace the supply chain of human migration. In Charlotte 315 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,920 roy we have mapped the web of institutions that have 316 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:22,160 facilitated the flow of migrants from Port our Prince. Some 317 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,319 of these institutions are public and as such must make 318 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:29,079 their records available. Others, to avoid scrutiny, keep a low profile. 319 00:22:31,319 --> 00:22:34,119 The initial and most powerful institution is the federal government. 320 00:22:34,559 --> 00:22:37,599 Over the past four years, Customs and Border Patrol has 321 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:42,039 reported hundreds of thousands of encounters with Haitian nationals. In addition, 322 00:22:42,079 --> 00:22:44,319 the White House has admitted more than two hundred thousand 323 00:22:44,519 --> 00:22:50,480 Haitians through its controversial Humanitarian Parole program for Cubans, Haitians, 324 00:22:50,559 --> 00:22:56,039 Nicaraguans and Venezuelans HNB, which it paused in early August 325 00:22:56,119 --> 00:23:00,359 and has since relaunched. The program is presented as a 326 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,680 lawful pathway, but critics, such as VP candidate JdE Events, 327 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:08,079 have called it an abuse of asylum laws and warned 328 00:23:08,079 --> 00:23:12,000 of its destabilizing effects on communities across the country. That 329 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,039 was when he was when he was mansplanning to those 330 00:23:15,079 --> 00:23:19,000 two I was going to use the C word, So 331 00:23:19,039 --> 00:23:24,160 those two can't understand normal thinkings who were moderating the debate. Yeah, 332 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:29,480 that was what that was all about. So the next 333 00:23:29,559 --> 00:23:32,480 link in the web is the network of publicly funded 334 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,160 NGOs to provide migrants with resources to assist in travel, housing, 335 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,759 and come and work. These groups are called National Resettlement 336 00:23:39,839 --> 00:23:43,720 Agencies and serviced a key middlemen in the flow of migration. 337 00:23:44,559 --> 00:23:47,480 The scale of this effort is astounding. These agencies are 338 00:23:47,519 --> 00:23:50,240 affiliated with more than three hundred and forty local offices 339 00:23:50,319 --> 00:23:53,920 nationwide and have received some five point five billion in 340 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,839 new awards since twenty twenty one. And because they are 341 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,640 technically non governmental institutions, they are not required to disclose 342 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:07,480 detailed information about their operations. If I were elected president, 343 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:14,119 I would just unleash the cops on these motherfuckers. I 344 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,680 would tear it. I would make it illegal that non 345 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:22,000 governmental organizations within the borders were fucking illegal, and I 346 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:27,359 would go after the worst of these and make examples 347 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:32,960 of them I'm talking about. I'd create laws to see 348 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,880 that the worst offenders spend the rest of their lives 349 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:48,119 in jail or rusticated. These motherfuckers in CHARLOTROI one of 350 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:52,119 the most active resettlement agencies is Jewish Family and Community 351 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:56,759 Services Pittsburgh. According to a September Pittsburgh Post Gazette report, 352 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:01,200 JFCs staff have been traveling to Charlot Leroy weekly for 353 00:25:01,279 --> 00:25:03,920 the past year and a half to resettle many of 354 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,200 the migrants. The organization has offered to help migrants sign 355 00:25:07,279 --> 00:25:12,000 up for welfare programs including Snap, Medicaid and direct Financial Assistance. 356 00:25:12,519 --> 00:25:19,240 While Jewish Family and Community Services Pittsburgh offers employment services 357 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:23,480 to migrants, it denies any involvement with the employer and 358 00:25:23,519 --> 00:25:29,000 staffing agencies that were the focus of our investigation, and 359 00:25:29,079 --> 00:25:34,880 yet business is brisk. In twenty twenty three, Jewish Family 360 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:39,599 and Community Services Pittsburgh reported twelve point five million in revenue, 361 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,160 of which six point one five million came directly from 362 00:25:43,319 --> 00:25:48,119 government grants. Much of the remaining funding came from other 363 00:25:48,279 --> 00:25:53,160 nonprofits that also get federal funds, such as two point 364 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:59,400 eight million grant from its parent organization. Highest highest is 365 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:04,960 I can remember the the the acronym, what the acronym is. 366 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:12,640 It's I'm retarded for not remembering this. Hold on the 367 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,640 heck is not on here, I'm looking, I'm looking. Give 368 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:24,960 me a work about us, who we are, who we are, 369 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,960 drawing on our Jewish values and history. Highest stands for 370 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,519 a world in which refugees find welcome, safety, and opportunity. 371 00:26:35,319 --> 00:26:41,400 You know where they don't find welcome, safety and opportunity 372 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:50,839 in Israel, They don't send them there. Why why would 373 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:58,119 they not do that? Highest stands for Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society. 374 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:09,119 Why but they they sound so good? They drawing upon 375 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,799 their Jewish values and history. They stand for a world 376 00:27:12,839 --> 00:27:17,279 in which refugees find welcome, safety and opportunity. How many 377 00:27:17,319 --> 00:27:20,680 have they put sent to Israel? I mean, no one 378 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:25,920 wants to go to this shithole right now, but yeah, 379 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:34,839 interesting and Jewish Family and Community Services Pittsburgh executives enjoy 380 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,920 generous salaries. The CEO earn two hundred and fifteen thousand, 381 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,680 five hundred and ninety dollars, the CFO one hundred and 382 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,200 forty eight thousand, six hundred and one dollars, and the 383 00:27:44,279 --> 00:27:47,279 COO one hundred and twenty five thousand, two hundred and 384 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:55,079 eighteen dollars, all subsidized by the taxpayer you're paying. I mean, 385 00:27:55,599 --> 00:27:58,000 we know that there's probably printing money anyway, but still, 386 00:27:58,079 --> 00:28:04,559 let's go see your grandkids or whatever. This is right here, 387 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:11,720 over five hundred thousand dollars the taxpayers are paying so 388 00:28:11,759 --> 00:28:18,160 that they can flood your communities with people who are 389 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:23,160 going to replace you and kill you in car crashes 390 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:31,880 and basically drive you out of where you're from. And 391 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,599 if you don't think that this, oh, this isn't going 392 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,519 to happen where I live, who would have thought it 393 00:28:37,559 --> 00:28:45,240 would happen in Charleroy, Pennsylvania? What's next? In the chain business? 394 00:28:45,359 --> 00:28:48,400 In Charleroi, the Haitians are, above all a new supply 395 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:52,400 of inexpensive labor. A network of staffing agencies and private 396 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:56,279 companies has recruited the migrants to the city's factories and 397 00:28:56,319 --> 00:29:00,680 assembly lines. They couldn't recruit them from other Americans in cities. 398 00:29:02,319 --> 00:29:05,640 While some recruitment happens through word of mouth, many staffing 399 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:11,279 agencies partner with local nonprofits that specialize in refugee resettlement 400 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:15,279 to find immigrants who need work. At the center of 401 00:29:15,319 --> 00:29:18,519 this system in Charleroi is Fourth Street Foods, a frozen 402 00:29:18,519 --> 00:29:21,720 food supplier with approximately one thousand employees, most of whom 403 00:29:21,759 --> 00:29:25,400 work on the assembly line. An exclusive interview Chris Scott, 404 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:30,359 the CEO and COO two salaries of Fourth Street Barbecue, 405 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,680 the legal name of the firm that does business as 406 00:29:32,839 --> 00:29:38,400 Force Streets Food. Fourth Street Foods explained that his company, 407 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,119 like many factory businesses, has long relied on immigrant labor, 408 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:46,200 which he estimates make up seventy percent of its workforce. 409 00:29:47,319 --> 00:29:50,519 The firm employs many temporary workers, and with the arrival 410 00:29:50,559 --> 00:29:53,079 of Haitians, has found a new group of laborers willing 411 00:29:53,079 --> 00:29:56,680 to work long days in an industrial freezer starting at 412 00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:03,839 about twelve dollars an hour. Many of these workers are 413 00:30:03,839 --> 00:30:08,039 not directly employed by Fort Street Foods. Instead, according to Scott, 414 00:30:08,119 --> 00:30:11,400 they are hired through staffing agencies, which pay workers about 415 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,480 twelve dollars an hour for entry level food processing roles, 416 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,920 and bill Forth Street Foods for sixteen dollars per hour 417 00:30:19,359 --> 00:30:24,400 to cover their costs including transportation and overhead. The average 418 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,480 wage for an entry level food processor in Washington County 419 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,960 was sixteen forty two per hour in twenty twenty three. 420 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:37,519 So you see, if a staffing agency can convince one 421 00:30:37,519 --> 00:30:42,079 of these people they're still paying, the company is still 422 00:30:42,119 --> 00:30:49,440 paying what they would pay an American. But now if 423 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:53,599 the staffing agency convinces somehow, maybe with kickbacks or with 424 00:30:55,279 --> 00:31:02,519 supplying client labor, the staffing agency gets to keep four 425 00:31:02,799 --> 00:31:08,039 bucks for every hour. That what seven hundred employees. There's 426 00:31:08,119 --> 00:31:12,200 one thousand employees and this is seventy percent, So start 427 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:16,319 doing the math on that. According to a Haitian migrant 428 00:31:16,359 --> 00:31:20,160 who worked at Fort Street and a review of video footage, 429 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:25,640 three staffing agencies Wellington Staffing Agency, CELEBS Staffing Agency and 430 00:31:25,799 --> 00:31:29,480 Advantage Staffing Agency are key conduits for labor in the city. 431 00:31:30,759 --> 00:31:37,839 None have websites advertised or services or appear in job listings. Weird. 432 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,039 How do you even have a business that deals with 433 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:48,000 human beings and you not even have a website or advertise. 434 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,240 According to Scott Ford, Street Foods relies on agencies to 435 00:31:52,279 --> 00:31:56,519 staff its contract workforce, but he declined to specify witch agencies, 436 00:31:56,759 --> 00:32:10,400 citing non disclosure agreements. Yeah, I've been saying lately all 437 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:14,359 of our solutions are fed posts. My mutual who goes 438 00:32:14,359 --> 00:32:17,960 by Brandon Walsh on Twitter, has been saying that all 439 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:22,880 of our solutions are fed posts. That's why I'm laughing 440 00:32:24,319 --> 00:32:31,039 instead of fed posting. The final link is housing and 441 00:32:31,119 --> 00:32:34,759 here too. Fort Street Foods has an organized interest during 442 00:32:34,759 --> 00:32:37,799 the COVID nineteen pandemic Scott said Fort Street Foods was 443 00:32:37,839 --> 00:32:41,799 scrambling to find additional workers. The owner of the company, yeah, 444 00:32:41,799 --> 00:32:44,519 because they were so busy, because you know, they were 445 00:32:45,319 --> 00:32:49,559 They were one of the companies obviously who wasn't shut 446 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:56,400 down during COVID. Obviously I'm surprised they didn't starve us. 447 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,920 But you know, the owner of the company, David Barbie's 448 00:33:00,319 --> 00:33:04,839 in acquiring and renovating a significant number of homes to 449 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:13,119 provide housing for his workforce. A property starts for David 450 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:17,759 Barbie and his other businesses. dB Rentals LLC shows records 451 00:33:17,759 --> 00:33:21,559 of more than fifty properties, many of which are concentrated 452 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:27,160 on the same streets. So the owner of Four Streets 453 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:35,599 Foods has fifty properties in the town. After the initial 454 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,920 purpose purchases, Barbie required some of the existing residents to 455 00:33:40,039 --> 00:33:44,000 vacate to make room for newcomers. He couldn't just go 456 00:33:44,119 --> 00:33:48,759 there and offer those people jobs. A single father, who 457 00:33:48,839 --> 00:33:51,160 spoke on condition of anonymity, was forced to leave his 458 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,680 home after it was sold to dB Rentals LLC in 459 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:57,359 twenty twenty one. We had to move out on very 460 00:33:57,359 --> 00:33:59,640 short notice after five years of living there and being 461 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:03,119 great tenants, he explained afterward. A neighbor informed him that 462 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,799 a dozen people of Asian descent had been crammed into 463 00:34:06,839 --> 00:34:10,760 the two bedroom home. They were getting picked up and 464 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:19,280 dropped off in vans. My kids were super upset because 465 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,480 this was the house they grew up in since they 466 00:34:21,519 --> 00:34:24,559 were little. The man said, it was just all a 467 00:34:24,679 --> 00:34:29,800 huge nightmare. In recent years, a debate has raged about 468 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:35,480 replacement migration, which some left wing credits have dubbed a 469 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:40,320 racist conspiracy theory. But in Charleroi, replacement is a plain reality. 470 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:46,039 While the democratic demographic statistics have shifted dramatically in recent years, 471 00:34:47,039 --> 00:34:50,840 replacement happens in more prosaic ways. A resident moves away, 472 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:54,559 another arrives, the key to a rental apartment changes hands. 473 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,239 In one sense, this is unremarkable. And this is the 474 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,599 part where you know, I want to smack him a 475 00:35:01,599 --> 00:35:07,079 little bit, but smack the authors of the article. Since 476 00:35:07,119 --> 00:35:10,400 the beginning, America has been the land of migration, replacement, 477 00:35:10,559 --> 00:35:17,280 and change, maybe within its borders. But I'm just fuck, 478 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,960 I'm just this is Norman bullshit, so I'll just keep going. 479 00:35:22,159 --> 00:35:25,400 The original Belgian settlers of Charleroi were replaced by the 480 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,800 later arriving Slavic populations, who are now in turn being 481 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:33,719 replaced by men and women for Potau prints. The difference 482 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,360 was The difference here is the original Belgian settlers of 483 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:41,480 Charleroy being replaced by the later arriving Slavic populations. That 484 00:35:41,679 --> 00:35:49,000 wasn't planned by Jewish family services. Whatever the fuck of 485 00:35:49,119 --> 00:35:57,400 Pittsburgh and could in concert with a government that has 486 00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:04,320 been occupied by a pack where everyone in Congress has 487 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:08,960 an apac person. That's not what happened when the Slavs 488 00:36:09,039 --> 00:36:16,400 moved in. The economy changed along the same lines. The 489 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,480 steel plants shut down years ago. The glass factory, the 490 00:36:19,519 --> 00:36:24,159 last remaining symbol of Belgian glass makers, might suspend operations soon. 491 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:29,960 The largest employer now produces frozen meals. In another sense, however, 492 00:36:30,039 --> 00:36:34,639 legitimate criticisms can be made of what is happening in CHARLOTTROI. 493 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:38,320 You think, first, the benefits of mass migration seem to 494 00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,880 accrue to the organized interests, while citizens and taxpayers absorb 495 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,119 the cost. No doubt, the situation is advantageous to David 496 00:36:45,119 --> 00:36:48,119 Barbie of four Street Foods, who can pay sixteen dollars 497 00:36:48,119 --> 00:36:50,880 an hour to the agencies and employ his contract labor force, 498 00:36:51,199 --> 00:36:54,079 then recapture some of those wages in rent just like 499 00:36:54,119 --> 00:36:58,440 the company towns from a century ago. But for the 500 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:02,119 old residents. The big difference when it was a company 501 00:37:02,119 --> 00:37:08,920 town a century ago, that was for Americans, not an invading, 502 00:37:09,039 --> 00:37:13,079 hostile force that can walk into a gun store and 503 00:37:13,159 --> 00:37:20,280 buy a gun and not be And basically someone a 504 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:24,599 gun store that has a federal firearms license can refuse 505 00:37:24,679 --> 00:37:27,480 sale to anyone, even if you have a carry permit, 506 00:37:27,639 --> 00:37:30,719 even if you're pillary the community. They can refuse to 507 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:35,559 the President of the United States, they just for any reason. 508 00:37:36,079 --> 00:37:41,039 They can. Yet it seems that they are being forced 509 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:45,360 to sell guns to these Haitians. This has been reported 510 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:49,159 over and over again happening in Springfield. So if you 511 00:37:49,199 --> 00:37:52,400 think that maybe there's an invading army that's being armed 512 00:37:53,679 --> 00:37:57,079 and they're being armed, they're not. Even the money is 513 00:37:57,119 --> 00:38:07,880 being given to them to buy this weapon. Yeah yeah. 514 00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,719 But for the old residents of Charleroy, who cherished their 515 00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,280 distinct heritage and fear that their quality of life is 516 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:17,199 being compromised, it's mostly downside. The evictions, the undercut wages, 517 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,719 the car crashes, the cramped quarters, the unfamiliar culture. These 518 00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:24,239 are not trivialities, nor are they racist. Conspiracy theories. They 519 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:27,360 are the signs of a disconcerting reality. Charleroy is a 520 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,159 dying town that could not revitalize itself on its own, 521 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:34,280 which made it the perfect target for revitalization by elite powers, 522 00:38:34,519 --> 00:38:41,000 the federal government, the NGOs, and their local setrops. The 523 00:38:41,079 --> 00:38:44,320 key question in Charleroi is the fundamental question of politics. 524 00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,559 Who decides. The citizens of the United States and of 525 00:38:47,639 --> 00:38:50,039 Charleroi have been assured since birth that they are the 526 00:38:50,159 --> 00:38:54,480 ultimate sovereign. The government, they were told, must earn the 527 00:38:54,519 --> 00:38:57,880 consents of the governed. But the people of Charleroi were 528 00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,159 never asked if they wanted to submit their borough to 529 00:39:00,159 --> 00:39:04,199 an experiment in mass migration. Others chose for them and 530 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:08,760 slandered them when they objected. The decisive factor, which many 531 00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:12,079 on the institutional left would rather conceal, is one of power. 532 00:39:12,519 --> 00:39:15,679 Martha's vineyard, when faced with a single planeload of migrants 533 00:39:15,679 --> 00:39:19,360 can evict them in a flash, but Charleroi, the broken 534 00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,960 man of the rust belt, cannot. This is the reality 535 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,119 of replacement. The strong do what they can, and the 536 00:39:26,159 --> 00:39:39,599 weak do what they must. So if that's frustrating to you, 537 00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:49,239 it's frustrating to me, it's frustrating to them. We're under occupation. 538 00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:54,039 It's so obvious that we're under occupation by a foreign power, 539 00:39:55,360 --> 00:40:06,719 by foreign forces, and they're open about it. And at 540 00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:16,079 this point all of our solutions are fed posts. I 541 00:40:16,079 --> 00:40:18,400 hope you don't take this. I mean, it's hard not 542 00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:23,079 to take this as a black pill. But black pills come, 543 00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:28,920 white pills come. Don't let the black pill consume you. 544 00:40:30,199 --> 00:40:34,920 Take the black pill, choke on it, spit it out, 545 00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:43,559 and keep going. As my buddy Jay Burden says, the 546 00:40:43,639 --> 00:40:46,400 lie can't last forever. I mean, it's such a perfect 547 00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:54,519 way he ends his show. Every time we live. This 548 00:40:54,639 --> 00:40:59,800 is just an empire of lies. Everything is a lie, 549 00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:04,199 and when you try to expose the truth, you sound crazy, 550 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:08,360 or you sound like a racist, or you sound like 551 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:16,159 a whist, whatever fucking term they come up with. Anyway, 552 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:20,559 I just wanted to give you this information. Do with 553 00:41:20,599 --> 00:41:23,639 it what you wish. See you in a couple of days. 554 00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:25,039 Take care, Bye,
