What's Really Happening in Belfast Right Now

[00:00:00]Late on Monday night around 10:30 p.m., a man in his 40s was walking through North Belfast when another man attacked him with a kitchen knife. Now, there's some like discrepancies about whether this guy was actually helping migrants move into housing or not. I've heard some reports that he was actually a special needs person. Those things are unclear at this point. I've not seen enough consistent reporting on that to put a lot of faith in that. But know that there may be some connection as to how these two men cross paths. A bystander ended up catching it on video.

[00:00:30]Within hours, it was everywhere. There's actually some journalists saying that they shouldn't have allowed the video to go everywhere. But nonetheless, it did get out and you see the bloodied victim pinned to the ground being stabbed over and over. Some civilians rushed in and tried to drag the attacker off of him before the police could arrive. The victim somehow miraculously survived the horrific attack. He's now in stable condition, but reports indicate that one eye was completely gouged out that the other was blinded again just by being stabbed in the eye with the knife. He was left obviously with serious injuries, but he's got him across his face, his back, his neck. Pretty horrifying. Was pretty shocked to hear that the guy survived. Many people were calling it an attempted beheading, which struck me as a unnecessarily vague first of all and then inflammatory way to describe it. But nonetheless, the guy was left with extremely serious injuries. Police have now charged a 30-year-old Sudin man with attempted murder, possession of a bladed weapon, and making threats to kill. According to PSNI Chief Constable John Boucher, the suspect was an asylum seeker granted leave to remain in the UK back in 2023, having traveled from Sudan to Paris, then Dublin, then into Belfast by bus, reclaimed asylum in February of that year. He wasn't on any security database watch list or anything. Apparently, he wasn't known to the police.

[00:01:48]Investigators say that there's no signs.

[00:01:50]This is terror related, but honestly, none of that matters at the level of the people on the streets. And so, Tuesday night, Belfast just absolutely erupted.

[00:01:59]There were tons of calls for marches, for people to just let the political class, as they're calling it, know how they feel, which is certainly coded language for riot and burn things. Mass crowds did exactly that. They torched a bus. They set cars ablaze, hurled petrol bombs, lit homes on fire with riers specifically targeting the houses of either minorities or um immigrants.

[00:02:20]Families were fleeing. The violence spread to uh surrounding towns with smaller flare-ups all across England, Wales, and Scotland. Kirstma's called the knife attack horrific, but he's also said that the response for people going out in the streets is just absolutely unacceptable. And so the big question there is going to be what do you do when you believe that the political class is no longer listening to you? I think the moment you start burning the city down, obviously each and every one of those crimes needs to be prosecuted. You cannot let lawlessness ride no matter how just it may be. But all of this brings to the forefront there is a real disconnect between the way that people are feeling at the street level and the way that the political class are pursuing this. I I mean I I welcome them the minister saying that politicians need to be careful because all I hear from the government benches is is dog whistles constantly where they scapegoat migrants for their own failures and they're doing it more and more and more and it is clear pathway that this government has chosen to go down and and I you know that for me I think you know tonight what those scenes we're seeing we have to ask ourselves as a society how this is happening and we have to ask all all of us on an individual basis need to ask how we are either contributing to this or fixing it. Part of the problem and part of what I hope that quoteunquote new media like we can do on the show is really just get under the sound bite and get down to saying something specific. She's saying a whole lot of vague things there. People are just going to fill in what they want to believe that she's saying rather than okay as a nation we have to go are we bringing in immigrants as a form of compassion? Are we bringing in immigrants as a form of economic relief?

[00:03:57]Are we struggling financially and so we're trying to import cheap labor? Is that why even when a government is conservative and they come in literally on we're going to reduce immigration and then in several countries they've ended up increasing immigration. That to me points directly at you have an economic problem that they get into office and realize uhoh I have to keep prices low because we've been inflating the currency to hell and back. And so the only way for us to keep the prices low is to have immigrant labor that's low.

[00:04:28]We're also in a lot of countries, take Japan for instance, dealing with low birth rates. So if if we start having the conversation at that actual cause and effect level, then we can begin to lay things out. Okay, cool. There's a sequence of cause and effect. We as a nation have to decide and be able to state in a very clear and sensible way what our value system is. And then we've got to be able to draft it up into policy that people can read. It's very simple and it's understandable. And then we all say, "This is what we're trying to do." And by the way, you just have to agree on where you're trying to get to.

[00:04:59]So where are we trying to get in a way that we can articulate? And if where we're trying to get is we want to make sure that we're keeping prices low and that's our primary concern. Now we can at least have the debate and people can say no, that's not what we should be doing. What we should be doing is conserving our heritage. What we should be doing is making sure that Ireland stays white. At least [ __ ] say it out loud. Like just say the thing and then people can go that's so horrendous. I'm not interested in that at all. Or, yeah, it sounds gross, but it's what we're here for. We've got a long-standing culture and tradition, and we're going to protect it. Or, no, this is about whatever. Insert the thing. But until we have a conversation that's actually at the level of something that you can state in a single sentence of 35 words or less, this is what I'm trying to accomplish. Then there's nowhere for you to hide. You just have to stand 10 toes down on whatever the thing is that you're trying to fight for. And then we can have that argument, decide where we're actually trying to go. You can elect politicians based on whether they're going to move towards the thing that you believe in or not. And we're having the real conversation instead of somebody trying to throw around uh comments like all I hear is dog whistles. What do you mean by that? So I assume she's trying to get at this is a race thing, people are just racist. It's that that is not going to be a high functioning way to approach this argument anymore because there are going to be real consequences. We'll get to some of that more when we talk about HUD a little bit later. We're here in the US, we're realizing that not only during the Biden administration do we let in a whole lot of people um with the open borders, but we were also giving them access to federal tax dollars to backs stop their loans for housing, which of course is going to drive housing costs up. And so it doesn't matter what their nationality is. It doesn't matter what the color of their skin is. There's just an economic knock-on effect. And so that that's going to be what not just we are charged with here on this show, but with everybody that has a long form show is to really start breaking this stuff down. And I I will just tell you the only way forward is to get people out of their emotions. Humans reason emotionally. So just everything about their impulse is going to take them to have a big emotional reaction to display the emotion for people to respond to which person talking what emotion they align with rather than saying we live in a deterministic universe based on cause and effect. And if we're importing a bunch of immigrants that is going to have economic consequences. It will lower costs. It will increase pressure on things like housing. If there is a culture collision, then we're going to see increased tensions which will lead to increased violence. Like all of these things can be placed very simply in terms of what the problem set is so that we can navigate through it.

[00:07:45]>> I just want to set a disclaimer at the show. I feel like we can all opt out of the race war that they're trying to force us into right now with these headlines. But it does seem that we like to highlight certain things and it causes a substantial response. And this is >> when we say we like to highlight, do you mean this show or society?

[00:08:01]>> I'm going to say media in general because I feel like this beheading is going to lead to protest protest is going to go across spans AC across countries from Ireland to England in Glasgow. There's a bunch of dudes in all black walking around. There's people getting attacked. It's it's just like this one domino can lead to all these other like second order consequences.

[00:08:20]And now because of this one domino, we're now talking about immigration in a different way. Whereas if I was to take a step back and say, "Okay, if we could just say it's like the 8020 rule. 20% of the immigrants is causing 80% of the outrage."

[00:08:34]>> Yeah. Might even be less.

[00:08:35]>> You know what I mean?

[00:08:36]>> Sure.

[00:08:37]>> So, is it right for us to have the conversation of because of this attack, we need to talk about immigration as a whole, or do you think immigration as a whole needs to be talked about and this is just another catalyst to accelerate that conversation that keeps getting pushed back?

[00:08:50]>> It's that. So we should have been having the conversation about immigration a very very very very long time ago >> and as the globalist notion like if I can strip away all of the like howling wolves and dark clouds and I'm being manipulated by an evil cabal strip that away >> there's just an idea that has grown that is really quite beautiful at its core which is hey as a civilization we of humanity realize iz that these geographical borders are largely arbitrary. We realize that the uh the the phenotypic way that our genes express themselves in different amounts of melanin are just completely superficial. And the absurdity of judging each other based on phenotype is crazy. And that to me that argument is so beautiful and it resonates with me so hard. I love that. And then though you are hit with the reality of but culture is why humans have achieved what they've achieved. Meaning we have an evolutionary strategy that says you're not going to have to reinvent yourself every generation. And you're not just going to learn from mom and or dad like every other species where it's like we're going to pre-program a set of behaviors in you. This this is quite literally the evolutionary uh bet that every species has made but us. Every species but us. I mean there are some minor exceptions in like chimpanzees and things like that, but they're on our line. So you get why they would be on that spectrum as well. But every species basically just chooses, I'm going to give you a bunch of instinctual drives. And then your parents might model something for you.

[00:10:40]And so you will look a 100,000 years from now from a behavior pattern exactly the same as your ancestors. So turtle's going to turtle, shark's going to shark.

[00:10:50]Like it just doesn't change. And humans on the other hand use culture. And so it's this incredible thing that allows us to go, I'm going to teach you over, you know, call it the 35 years back when that was the average lifespan. Over the 35 years of your life, I'm going to teach you about everything that came before you within reason, within like your specialty and stuff like that. But now the quote being you're going to stand on the shoulders of giants. And so we've got this cultural layer and it is the reason that we become the dominant species and our genetic ability to adapt. But like you put those together, it's this incredible cocktail. But when we have the conversation, we get stuck at one of the things that is ingrained in us in terms of we have an instinctual push towards it, which is what I call school of fish. We want to group up with people that are like us. Now, there are a whole lot of ways that we can draw those circles. And so, that circle could be men, circle could be women, that circle could be black, the circle could be white, that circle could be Nigerian, could be African-American. Like, there's a gazillion ways that you can draw it.

[00:12:01]Can be humanity, Americans, whatever.

[00:12:03]Like, you can draw all these weird different circles. Religion is the most fascinating of the circles because it will show you how you can have people that look nothing alike, didn't grow up in the same country, all of a sudden we're both Catholic. And that one shows that okay, the human mind has this just absolutely desperate desire to categorize. Then it's like, okay, well then we need to be very careful about collisions of cultures. So this cool idea that Tom likes of like, hey, borders can finally disappear. We've got airplanes. We can trade across borders.

[00:12:33]We can marry across borders. We can find people that we love that don't look anything like us, but they share this value set. Yay. It's amazing. But at the same time, just like states get to run different economic experience uh experiments, they get to draw people to their state using different incentives.

[00:12:51]And so we get to experiment in 50 different ways with what's the best way to run a government. And then if the federal government is wise, it looks at all of those different experiments and it takes the ones that are going to work at a national level. But it's like cool, I'm glad that you guys are competing and doing different things. Okay. So now if we take that on and we go, okay, people are looking as from a a nation state, from a subculture perspective, it's a bunch of people running a bunch of different tests of what's the best way for where we live, for the difficulties that we face. What are the best ideas that we can pass via the cultural layer onto our kids such that they will thrive? And what we're seeing now is you can't just mix and match those really rapidly. It doesn't work because people defend their culture. And I think that's the part that people are missing. If you do it at a rate where they assimilate, you can get away with it. But America is like we've been showing people for 400ish years what it looks like. You get a wave of white as the day is long Irish immigrants and they're [ __ ] rejected.

[00:14:02]Even though it's whites and whites, >> I'm not here for it. You don't represent my culture. You sound different. My circle of us and other triggers. You're other [ __ ] you. It was only that we eventually like things were moving slow enough that we would bring them in, reject them, and then assimilate and they would become American. Then you would get the next wave. They would get rejected. But over time, they would assimilate because America had enough cultural identity that it was like either you get on board with this or you can [ __ ] right off. that became the pressure to assimilate became really strong now that it it's happening too fast. There are too many different cultures coming from too many different places and I think for reasons that will be way more controversial and become more Tom speaking than Tom being more sort of high level looking at just trends that I think are very defensible.

[00:14:54]I think there is also an agenda to get votes based on government welfare programs where now you're not trying to get people to assimilate. What you're trying to get them to do is vote as blocks. And so it's easier if a Somali community selfisolates. So I only have to go win over the leadership there. Now I get them as a whole block. And so because I think there's a political incentive in addition to just a natural [ __ ] man, I'm a Somali who finds myself in Minnesota. Jesus, I can't relate to anybody. This is [ __ ] weird. I can't believe your country gets this cold.

[00:15:27]What is happening? So, it's already you're going to isolate down. Now, you're giving political incentives for the political class to be glad that you're also not diffusing, that you're voting as a block. And so, now you're getting these communities that aren't attempting to assimilate. And so, the sense of what it means to be American is no longer being propagated, which means we're not turning into a melting pot.

[00:15:51]we're staying these like different groups with different values. Now, on top of that, the left really believes this idea of well, there's no culture that's better than another that's super judgmental. And so, it's like we need to be tolerant of everything, which once again weakens like, okay, wait, what do we stand for? What do we arrest somebody for? What do we just draw hard lines around and say both from a legal and from a cultural perspective, we just aren't going to tolerate? That starts to get really muddy. Nobody can agree on what that is, which just further creates these fractions. Race is is completely a construct of a populist moment where it's easy. We know that people, it's just so visible that if I'm trying to keep you in your emotions, I'm trying to keep you mad then and people do it naturally. I want to be very clear.

[00:16:35]You're leveraging it as a demagogue because it's so easy because people so naturally us and other based on skin color that you just keep fermenting that. But it's all fake. The real thing is culture. Now, if there's a culture being transmitted through a group that also has a consistent skin color, now it's like it's a Jesus. Trying to tease those out becomes very, very difficult.

[00:17:03]But in reality, they actually are two different phenomenon. And if we keep them apart, we'll have a much easier time working our way through the problem to get back to what am I trying to achieve? what are the policies I need to put in place to achieve it? So, if you're on the right, you're solving for I've got to keep everything cheap. If you're on the left, you're trying to keep everything cheap and you're trying to keep voting power because you're presumably going to be more government handouts, bigger government wherever possible. And so, that becomes just an incredible way to stay in power. And now it's like, sure, but you're blinding yourself to the fact these groups are going to go to war. And that's where it's like you have to talk about it because it's going to keep being a bigger and bigger problem.

[00:17:48]>> You put a lot of pieces on the table right there. I feel like that was well thought out and well executed. So I have no notes. Where do we go from here in the sense of how do we handle this conversation when it seems like more and more people are trying to silence videos, take things off the table similar to the red the red the right left divide in America. Do we just have to ride this populist moment out and then we can have the conversation?

[00:18:09]>> I think I think that would be a real problem. So, I I don't think we have the timeline for that cuz I'm not yet optimistic that we're going to get out of this populist moment anytime soon. I think the populist moment may carry us all the way through the economic collapse of America. The only way to deal with this now is to say, okay, I'm going to carefully delineate between culture and race. I know that nonetheless I'm going to be called racist and all of that. I'm going to keep separating those two and I'm going to keep relentlessly talking about culture. And if you can get people to admit that culture matters, if you can get people to admit that we're going to fight, that's just what humans do. So now we have to pause immigration, assimilate, see who is going to assimilate, put laws in place that force assimilation or inspire people to leave.

[00:18:57]>> I need to drill on that. What does what's a law that will force? easiest one is going to be stop doing handouts so that people actually have to contribute to the local economies or otherwise they're just not going to be able to make ends meet and they will leave. Force things like we have a national language and it is insert your country, Italy speaks Italian, Japan speaks Japanese, America speaks English, England speaks English, Ireland speaks Irish, whatever. So you >> speak the language, you get deported.

[00:19:25]It's not necessarily deported because for me, if you've already let someone in your country and they are a citizen, it's game over. Yeah. You don't get for me, this is my view of the world. You don't get to just kick that person out.

[00:19:38]They are a citizen of your country. You may say, "Oof, we had bad policies back then." Yeah, okay. But like, you had the policies. That violates my sense of right and wrong. I've got this person here. They're a citizen. Now, if they're a non-citizen, sure, you can do things, change status, whatever, and say, "Hey, sorry, no more. We're now going to deport people that are violent criminals here seeking asylum, whatever you can, whatever that criteria is going to be."

[00:20:02]I would advise people to say the people you actually care about getting out of your country are the people that are either actively promoting the destruction of your culture. If you have people inside of your country that are doing things to attack that culture, then you're going to put things in policy that will either increase the penalties for those things or just do things like all public schools are only available in Japanese, all road signs can only be done in Japanese, whatever.

[00:20:30]Like you find ways where it's like you're making it very clear if you want to be here, awesome, but here are the things here are the norms that we expect you to conform to. As a large society, we have to say, "These are the things that we tolerate and don't tolerate."

[00:20:43]And that doesn't mean that you walk up to somebody on the subway and if they're doing something that you don't think fits the national character, that you slap them. It's not what I'm saying. But what I am saying is you make it very clear through um social oststerization, through, you know, literally turning your back on somebody that we don't put up with that [ __ ] here. That is ultimately how you're going to have to prosecute this. I don't think countries have an obligation to make themselves a place that every migrant from anywhere in the world wants to go. Again, Japan, when I was trying to do business in Japan, it felt I won't say hostile because it didn't feel hostile, but it felt like I was running into a wall that I could not understand. And now, the more that I research Japan, it's that is exactly how they slow the integration with outsiders. Oh, yes. This is very interesting. Yes. Yes. Yes. they it's 100% no.

[00:21:38]>> And for anybody embedded into Japanese culture, they know in real time that's what they say when it's 100% no. But as a foreigner, I couldn't tell.

[00:21:47]>> Okay. The spiciest take in the chat actually comes from Ryan. Um, so >> Oops. I >> I don't want to take your words out here. You said a lot.

[00:21:54]>> Which one is it? Cuz I've been arguing with some of the chatters.

[00:21:57]>> You're like, "This is a false flag. This is just white people trying to put the boots on the neck." So >> I feel like >> I don't want to put words in your mouth, so I'm giving you like >> Yeah.

[00:22:04]>> Yeah. I feel like this situation in particular, this is particular to this story beheading that happened yesterday.

[00:22:11]>> I feel like this is a situation where if this guy wasn't white, we wouldn't be talking about this. I think a lot of times what happens in these situations, white people who are too up in arms about race and immigration tend to put the boot on their own head with these types of situations in that they are making something a bigger deal than it was. Like I look at this case in particular and I'm like, are there serious conversations to be had about immigration race? For sure. But I don't think that's a result of this. I think this is just some terrible thing happened and the person needed to be punished, right? They need to get prison and jail time. But I think it's become a race thing when it's doesn't really need to be.

[00:22:45]>> Here's the problem. What you're missing is that back in the 80s, this would have made the news had it been two white people as long as one of them was Protestant and the other was Catholic because it became indicative of an underlying problem that had to be talked about. Now, it's entirely possible in my fictional scenario that that person was mentally ill and it actually didn't have anything to do with Protestants and Catholics. And so therefore, on this the actual like core merits of the case, it really is more about mental illness.

[00:23:11]Again, this is a fabricated scenario, but you'll get the idea that it really was about mental illness and it wasn't about Catholics and Protestants. But the Catholic and Protestant issue is so real and is really in the middle of something that needs to be diffused that it becomes a flash point and it gets people talking. So the whole idea of never let a good crisis go to waste. What you're seeing here you have a real problem with a collision of cultures. So for instance one thing if you really want to trigger trigger people say the following. There really is such a thing as cultures typically hurting cultures that have this whole idea of honor. And the reason that you end up with an honor culture when you're herders is that no one's coming to protect you. And so if somebody comes and steals your animals and you don't go [ __ ] them up, then people realize, "Oh, I can steal Ryan because he doesn't do anything about it." And so you very quickly learn, your own team will be like, "Bitch, you better go do something about that. You cannot let somebody come and [ __ ] with your sheep across a line or whatever because it really is about livelihood."

[00:24:10]So that culture now has an honor culture and it is very effective when you're a hurting culture and if you don't have it you have a real problem. So I understand how it becomes born of that. Now what ends up happening is if you migrate that to a place where it doesn't make sense you've got to get rid of that cultural problem. A thing that makes sense back in say Scotland because this is actually what happened in the US. You have a bunch of these Scottish guys that come over to America become part of the founding fathers. are still dueling and everyone's like, "What the are you doing?" Like, that might have made sense back when you were hurting. It doesn't make sense now. So, whatever the [ __ ] we've got to put this soft cultural power to say we don't do that in America. And so, we end up diffusing that. And we would think it ridiculous if two politicians started dueling now.

[00:24:59]We'd be like, "Guys, this is the most idiotic thing in the known universe."

[00:25:02]And so when people try to say like, "Oh, this horrific thing happened and now we're just [ __ ] making it about race and you're pretending there's not this huge brewing thing that a culture is imported." And I'll point right at Pakistan. So for whatever reason, the part of Pakistani culture that says, "Hey, my if I call my cousin up and I'm like, "Yo, let's go rape this girl."

[00:25:26]That I can expect that my cousin's going to be like, "Yeah, dope." If my cousin called me and said that, I'd be like, "The [ __ ] is wrong with you?" So, that's going to be, you know, a thing we're And now, admittedly, I'm maybe not as tight-knit with my cousins as you would be in Pakistan. And maybe we go, but the tight-knitness of the family, there's dope. We love that. But it's playing out in this context, possibly because it's mixed with religious ideology that says, "Well, if they're not of my religion, then they're lesser than, and this is okay." obviously going to be hotly contested, but I'm saying if you put ideas like that together, you start getting a disproportionate per capita thing happening. I'm talking about the rape gangs, right? And so it was a wildly disproportionate number of Pakistani men that were involved in this very specific thing. And so if we can't talk about that that oh there's an echo of culture happening here, that's where it deranges and we're not able to have like the real conversation. The problem is so far we haven't been willing to look at it. We just immediately terminate at well this is just racism and because it is so closely correlated people stop there and go yeah it probably really is race. And so that's the thing that worries me is that people aren't really trying to get to the underlying, okay, what's the mechanism of this? Like even if we were going to say this is racism, what's the mechanism? And if you just stop at, well, white people are racist [ __ ] you're not going to get very far. That's where it's like, okay, well, break down for me. Why do white people in particular become racist [ __ ] Like is there actually a reason? I my hypothesis is that that won't survive contact with the data and that white people are not more racist than the next group hypothesis. So you you can test these things. All of them make a prediction, but right now it's it's playing out at the level of emotion, not at the level of data. And that's why I think we derange each other >> because what I would say is the emotion I think is the problem with everyone reacting to the situation because I think what you're describing is two very distinct situations. One which is the immigration conversation but also one which is a man killed another or tried to kill another man, right? And I think to me those are distinctly different conversations. My problem comes in when people start like online cuz this is more an online thing, right? cuz I feel like us on the show, we're always looking at the full picture. But with people online, it's like you said, they're jumping too quickly to, oh, this is just people of color attacking white people. And I feel like that's there is more to it. It's not just that, right? I think that's where my disconnect is in the whole boot on their head kind of thing.

[00:28:07]>> Yeah. When Florida Van was eating people's faces off, it wasn't a we need to talk about assimilation in culture.

[00:28:12]It was oh well, we need to feel bad for him because it's drugs. And so it's like the default response to the results.

[00:28:19]That's actually so you're bringing up a really interesting point that I have not heard anybody categorize and it might be worth us starting to do that. So you'll have a hierarchy of immediate emotional explanations for thing.

[00:28:30]>> Like for instance I look at the Carmelo Anthony metaf but that um whole thing I don't see evidence that it's race. I didn't hear them saying racial epithets to each other. No one's reported that as far as I know. So it's like you had a black guy and a white guy in an altercation, but I don't know that that was what caused the altercation.

[00:28:55]>> So on that level, it's okay, we've got to police a crime. It is being read in the public as a thing about race. It has gained prominence and national attention because of the race. And if the race factor wasn't there, to Ryan's point, I don't think this one would catch fire.

[00:29:13]But it's so easy to give examples where it does catch fire even though race isn't involved because there's a different underlying issue, Catholics and Protestants. So that's where it's like, okay, race is clearly a thing that we're going to have to address. Like we have to figure out why this becomes that immediate thing. So in the like hierarchy of emotional things that I'm going to grab for when it's white-on-white crime, obviously I'm not grabbing for race, at least in an American context. is very less likely to be something about uh religion. But let's say that we had a white Muslim attack a white guy. Okay, can't grab for race. But if that guy is like banging the drum for ISIS, oh guaranteed now all of a sudden it's Muslims. It's immigration. It that will happen immediately and then people are going to go, "Wait, this is obviously a madeup scenario. But wait, that white guy, he's an American citizen, dude. Like he his family can trace their ancestry back to [ __ ] Plymouth Rock. like what are you talking about?

[00:30:09]>> Then it becomes a radical left is is that's what's that's what >> maybe or it goes to well we let all these Muslims in and they're now converting our own. This is why we really got to stand up. People will grab or it could be exactly what you're saying. No, no, no. This is uh the radical left is the problem and we got to [ __ ] get rid of these guys. They tolerate anything. This is [ __ ] So it's like we we've got these different cassette tapes that we can punch in to make sure said thing fits our narrative.

[00:30:36]And that's where it's like, okay, hold on. Like, let's break this down. What's the actual cause and effect here? Thanks for watching this clip from the Tom Billu Show.
