If you were to take uh a bunch of uh Mormons and Christians
and put them in the same state how would they get along? Fine, fine. Mormons,
Christians, no problem.
Now let's mix in some Jewish Americans. How do they get
along?
Fine, fine. Mormons, Jews, Christians, fine.
Now let's throw in some Hindus, but American, you know, not
in India, but in America. So now some Hindus move in. You throw them in with
the Jews, the Mormons and the Christians how do they get along?
Fine, fine. You know you might not know this but where I
live tons of Indians, tons of Hindus. If I'm invited to a party pretty much
there's going to be Hindu there. You know you can rely on it. How do they get
along?
Perfectly. Perfectly, no problem at all.
How about the atheists? Now throw the atheists in there,
well, the atheist might say you know I'm more in favor of abortion, you know,
something like that, but will they get along as neighbors. Yeah, will they
respect the same system? Yes.
Now you can do it with ethnic groups, say a bunch of
Italians came over earlier in the century. How’d that go? Well, a lot of
discrimination, you know, there’s lots of name calling, they're like uh
Italians uh you know we're Irish, we can't be spending time with all these
Italians, then the Germans hate the Irish and the Irish doesn't like the Poles
and all these ethnic groups are kind of not getting along but 100 years later
we don't even think about that stuff. When was the last time you heard somebody
being mocked for being Irish or Italian? It just isn't really even a thing.
So they assimilated everybody, everybody's getting along. Now
what do all of those people who get along have in common? It's not about being
white because remember I threw the Hindus in there. It's not about being white
and it's not about even your ethnicity. There's one thing they all have in
common—that they all come from a philosophy of getting along with other people.
Do the Mormons want to conquer you? No, they want to get
along. Are the Jews trying to conquer America? Well some of you are going to
say yes, but the answer is no. The real answer is no. They all have a
philosophy of getting along.
Now is that the same with Islam? Well I think uh I heard
today the statistic there's something like a quarter of Islam, which is the
minority, but a quarter of them worldwide are pretty sure that Islam has to
take over everything and be in charge.
But here's the good news. 75% are not about that at all. 75%
just want to get along, just want to do their thing. You do your thing we won't
bother you. You don't bother us. Great. Works for me.
But what happens if you bring in so many Muslims that they
form like an area in the city and they've got sort of their own culture. What
happens with the 25/75 split? Do the 75 use their influence and say you guys
are, you know, you guys are bad for us so you better cut it out we're going to
keep you from being extremists. Because you know it's only 25% of you and of the
25%, a much smaller number have any interest in any violence, right? So it's a very
small number but put them all together and come back in 10 years and what's it
going to look like?
Did the reasonable people talk the unreasonable people out
of their violence? Well unfortunately violence really works, meaning that if
some of them are committed to violence or death, they're eventually going to
scare everybody else into going along.
42:44
So eventually if you come back that small minority will have
convinced everybody that they should be pressing for Sharia law.
All the groups I mentioned are not going to do that. They're
happy with the American system but the Islamists, again a small percentage of
them, would effectively co-opt the peaceful people in their ranks who wouldn't
want to break ranks.
So given that Islam has a conquest philosophy or mentality
built into it, that again 75% of the people are not buying into but 25%. 25% is
almost enough to guarantee that the rest will get coopted into a more
conservative extreme version of Islam.
That's my take. Now if I say that have I insulted any people
ethnicity or religion, I don't think so. I think I just said they have a
different view, and if you fast forward it there's sort of an obvious outcome.
So if you're talking about a system and a percentage of
people and you can predict forward that the 25%, or maybe much less, almost certainly
will Co-op the rest of them, and then it becomes a Civil War I would say it's
closer to a guarantee because we're watching it happen in England, right?
So we're watching it happen in Europe. We don't have to
guess is that the way it goes? The violent people have a lot of power. It’s
just always that way.
So Tommy Robinson, what I understand is saying the maybe a
more provocative version of what I just said and I don't think anybody
disagrees with what I just said, do you? Is there anybody here who disagrees
that these are not similar systems?
So let me say it in the summary. You cannot treat the
immigrants who have a philosophy of getting along with the immigrants have who
have a philosophy of Conquest.
If you treat them the same you can't be in power. That's a
problem.
Now did Tommy Robinson do anything I don't know about that
if I did I'd be mad at him? I don't know but I'm also not caring because I
think the Tommy Robinson thing has everything to do with the public saying if
he can't talk we can't talk.
And we want to talk.
So Tommy Robinson is nothing about Tommy Robinson. That's
the first thing I learned or it's my opinion based on what I've looked into. If
you think Tommy Robinson is about some crime he did or didn't do, I don't know
what he did or didn't do, you're on the wrong topic.
It's about whether somebody can say something that's true
and obvious and really important or if he's going to be suppressed.
Now why are we all talking about Tommy Robinson more than
we've ever talked about him before in the United States? What's causing that?
Now you're going to say Elon Musk, right?
I think it's simpler. I think it's the Trump effect because
the Trump effect allows us to see this as essentially a kind of censorship that
will destroy the country for sure and so we're reacting to Tommy Robinson and I
see many of you backing him, want him out of jail and it's not because of
anything he did or didn't do criminally.
It's about as long as he's in jail the Muslims are winning
and there are the few of them within the group that want a conquest.
So if you want to defend yourself against what seems like an
obvious risk, having a system come in where Conquest is the primary element of
it for 25% or less, you've got to be able to talk about it and you've got to be
able to offend people when you do it.
Ideally you wouldn't offend anybody but you've got to have
the right to do it. Otherwise you're going to be censoring yourself to the
point of being useless.
So Tommy Robinson is more about showing incredible bravery
for something of incredible importance and I believe like, not to overuse the
analogy, but like Nelson Mandela and like Trump got lawfared, we are starting
to see the legal process working against them as a plus for his message and his
authority.
Do you think that Tommy Robinson will someday be in charge
of Great Britain? Do you think he'll someday be the Prime Minister?
I don't know, probably not because the Islamic population is
big enough to prevent it, I would think, but he's got a more of a shot than
they ever had before because going to jail, being jailed unfairly and
unreasonably by your competitors, that opens people's eyes a little bit.
Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Is he really in jail because
of these alleged crimes or is it really all about just the one thing that we
don't have freedom of speech in the UK and he's trying to, he's trying to say
things and we don't like it because it'll hurt feelings of the people trying to
Conquest, as well as the 75% who were not.
You were asking me for my opinion and my opinion is that I
want Tommy Robinson freed because I want free speech in my country. I want free
speech for the people in Europe if they can get it back. I think it's too late.
I think actually Europe's largely going to just become Islamic. Because there's
a point of no return, you know, once your population reaches a certain
percentage of the Conquering philosophy and they're willing to die for it.
You're pretty much going to go that way.
We're not there but we're trying to avoid getting there.
