Chaos in Turkey!

Added: 2026-05-11

[00:00:11]I know many people believe in the Middle East, you know, Asia, that the mob mentality isn't a real thing that you may hear or see on the radio that if a group gets together, gets mad, they don't start breaking down the city, starting a riot. It's absolutely real.

[00:00:28]In fact, it's happening right outside our hotel. We're in the ancient city of Urfa, once called Edessa, Sanliurfa. Let's just say that the roads were shut down because of an accident.

[00:00:43]Now, everybody on the freeway is honking, setting off fireworks, [music] burning things to the ground. You see smoke billowing in [music] the distance.

[00:00:54]People setting things on fire. And then out of nowhere, people are riding, waving flags.

[00:01:01]All the mob mentality stuff.

[00:01:04]Why? It's the spirit of the enemy.

[00:01:07]And road rage.

[00:01:10]Definitely road rage, which is also the spirit of the enemy.

[00:01:14]Let's just say people are not happy in Sanliurfa.

[00:01:21]And won't stop the honking. Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep.

[00:01:26]I mean, I'm writing a love letter article. It's very hard [music] to think while this chaos is going on.

[00:01:32]Part of the job.

[00:01:34]The full blown music.

[00:01:39]Oh, the fire's really going.

[00:01:44]Looks like we've got a few more fires going. Burning it all down, people.

[00:01:49]Burning it all down.

[00:01:53]It has now been 2 hours since that accident and the road's blocked off.

[00:01:58]People outside are angry. They have discovered bullhorns.

[00:02:04]Lots of loud noise.

[00:02:06]It's It's like 11:30.

[00:02:11]I'm tired.

[00:02:12]I want to go to sleep.

[00:02:14]No, we have a Middle Eastern mob.

[00:02:17]It's not even the Middle East. Well, it's It's on the Asian side of Turkey.

[00:02:22]Whatever, we're right above Syria.

[00:02:24]Oh, I just want to sleep. It's okay.

[00:02:27]I'll work through it.

[00:02:29]They can burn the city down and see what ashes are left in the morning.

[00:02:35]>> [music] [music] >> Well, I had to come down and see for myself what all the ruckus was about.

[00:02:55]A lot of noise, I couldn't sleep.

[00:02:57]Had to ask elevator man what's going on, what's all the ruckus.

[00:03:03]Would you believe it?

[00:03:06]It has to do with football.

[00:03:08]Soccer.

[00:03:09]Yes, all the chaos, all the noise, all the burning because of a soccer match.

[00:03:17]I'm not surprised.

[00:03:28]>> [music] [music] [music] >> Hey.

[00:04:01]>> [music] >> Hey.
