 Look at this, mate. Look at this. You're beauty. That's Pondo Beach. It's a little bit like being in your 70s. Just takes your breath away. It's amazing. This is where the Jewish community lives. One day to Kudji Beach. Pretty ripper, right mate? It's on the same step. The temperature is about the same as the outside temperature. That's clean. I don't believe it. This was our leg. You'd have all these homeless living under the rocks. Look at the spill there. I haven't seen anyone carrying a selfie stick. So it's out for a walk during adult things. And I just think about when narcissism is good. Narcissism is important in making these videos. Like who the heck am I to be giving my cutting edge inside school to life? I'm irrelevant. I'm nobody. I'm just another bloke. And so as I've been navigating Australian bureaucracy and seeing how my peers are so much more adult and mature and got things together and my brother and sister are just so far ahead of me in ordinary adult competency. It's taken a toll on my narcissism. So I haven't made any videos recently. Because I'm just like trying to navigate the bureaucracy. So as soon as I navigate the bureaucracy I got my Australian bank account set up. I'm getting Australian phone number set up. I'm getting Australian tax file number tomorrow. Since I get Medicare. I get everything lined up. And then I'll feel like competent. Then I'll feel confident. And then I'll be like back making videos again. While I'm struggling with ordinary adult tasks it's hard to find the confidence to give you my cutting edge insights into what sort of refugees Australia should take or observances about Australian and American differences. Because when I'm struggling I don't have the narcissism picked up. So narcissism is not a state. It's a condition. It's not a condition. It's a state. It is variable. It depends on circumstances. But for years I hardly made any videos. So between 2012 and 2015 I hardly made any videos. Because I was struggling in life. When you're struggling in life it's hard to have the grandiose vision that you've got something important to say. So I stopped making videos. It wasn't until I was encouraged by Vivian who I met on Facebook. I kind of inspired by my conversations with her that I started making videos with Vivian in 2015 and kind of got my confidence back. And Portie got his confidence back which means a little bit of narcissism back. So desire for some attention and admiration it could be healthy and appropriate doses without it and that one is going to perform publicly. What have we got here? Cool busy, busy intersection. Better pay full attention. I came in to come here for a holiday. And I came out on Friday morning. Woke up for about 3am. My first day in Sydney. That's the house about 5.30am when I still got. I didn't come intending to come here for a holiday. I get out there and I see this. It just came out for a walk. And I thought I should live there. This is the place for me. I'm out there at 5.30am. Dozens of people are out here chalking and getting fit. It's just so clean and safe and cohesive. Friendly. And you can wear a yarmulke. No one's giving you heat here. I came here for a holiday but I'm going to end up staying. That's going to have to rip me away from this place. We had a life changing experience. Live on my stream. So you can see Friday morning light. Stream. Here, at the cross of the stream. And I'm changing. I came here for a holiday. I'm deciding to spend the rest of my life here. So I was talking to a lot of friends and a sponsor. And I found out what blind spots I might have. That was what I'm missing. And we played at the old Max. And that one on the death bed says, I wish I'd spent more time at the office. People want to spend more time with family. So we're right here. Strangely, mate. My brother and my sister. My uncles, aces, cousins, aunties. And friends from childhood. And new friends that I've made of mine. And a tribe in Jewish community. Lots of shores where I feel very comfortable. I just walked along this ocean path and I was just broken in two by the beauty. And the high quality of the life here. But I'm not leaving. I gotta stay here. How do those surfers elevate like a foot off the ocean? See that bloke? Wow. Strangely doesn't really have the culture wars that America does. There's not much controversy over abortion. Black Lives Matter. These Australians are too relaxed. They don't have a Barbie out of the beach. And it's in the cricket ground. Here with their mates. Had a drink, had some money. So if the culture wars in America would say a 10 out of 10. And culture wars in Australia, they're like a tour of 3 out of 10. I mean, when it came to COVID it was basically a bipartisan consensus. So with the ruling coalition and the opposition Labour Party governed on consensus that it got to COVID. Hey, g'day. Jim, how are you, mate? Thank you for your hospitality, man. Jim's been showing me around Sydney. Getting to meet the people who matter. Being a very hospitable host. Ah. High quality drinking films here, mate. Forty here, so I'm at St Mary's Cathedral. Look at that. Look at that. In downtown Sydney, the Central Business District. Pretty flash. I assume this is the biggest cathedral in Australia. So the Anglican church is near here. It's the oldest, I think, church in Australia. But this is the Central Business District. Well, the excitement of the city. But all the beauty of the country. How's it going, mate? Ah, wonderful. I'm a tourist. It's just amazing. So we've got a crash here. So Christmas here is the middle of summer. So I don't expect many snowflakes here. But there's been weird weather. Just cloudy, overcast, rainy. My entire year. It's been a little challenging for me to livestream because I've switched from vacation mode where I'm just that confident in my vacation to... I'm going to move here, mate. So I'm spending my days navigating bureaucracy. I just set up an Australian bank account. I'm about to get an Australian phone. I've read yourself a Medicare here in Australia. I'm going to get a tax file number so I can work. I'll be polishing my resume. Since I get an Aussie phone number, I'll attach that to my resume and send it out. So... So no longer like carefree vacation mode. Kick back to what I like. Now it's like I'm an adult in it. If you're an adult responsibility, bank account, tax file number, get a job, be an adult. So it's interesting during this transition, I don't have... I don't have like the confidence and the cockiness that it takes to do good livestreams. Because I'm just uncertain... uncertainly, awkwardly, with frequent failure, like navigating Australian Government bureaucracy. Oh yeah, I've got an Opal card so I can ride public transport here in Australia. And like learning how to use the bus, I'm going to use the train. Always this like light rain just finding my way around. Now this is Hyde Park where all the nutters are. They're supposed to be. O-Rating, but look at that. Magnificent Cathedral. There goes an ambulance there. Central Business District. Where's the graffiti? Where's the crime? Where's the menace? Where's the squeegee man? Where's the dysfunction? And where's my cockiness and the confidence that it takes to live stream? Right? It's hard to be cocky and confident when you're trying to figure out the bureaucracy and what it takes to be a functioning adult in Australia. Just might move here. No one's around because of the rain and the COVID. Ah, is that where everyone is? So many flash shops. And I see, and I can just imagine they've been devastated by the COVID. There's so much money sloshing around here. And then we have the lockdowns. Devastating business. It's hard to get on here and get all cocky and confident. I'll tell you this is the way things are. Because I'm just awkwardly figuring out how to use the ferry, how to use the tram, how to use the train, how to use the bus. How to make your way in the big city, in the big smoke. Set up, I got lunches the next three days. I see my mates. I see my best mate from Charleville. I see my best mate. Never met. But just talked to him on Facebook and on his podcast. And now I'll have to meet up again with Jim Balden. I'll see what Jim Balden's plans are. I'll think about going to Bondi tomorrow. That's where most of the facial restaurants are. I went to see my ancestor Michael Dyer. The famous Irish reprobate. Rebel. And fighting against the British. So I saw his grave. Because I'm from Pudgy. And it's the biggest grave in the whole cemetery. So Henry Lawson's buried there. All sorts of big names buried there looking at the ocean. But Michael Dyer, my ancestor, still runs through my veins. Still powering my rebellious attitude. I don't know how much his grave got in contact with my own. So great news, guys. The Prime Minister said that they're going to take 3,000 Afghan refugees. But that's the floor. That's not the ceiling, guys. Think about how Afghan refugees are going to meet in this country much more vibrant. So more refugees are on their way. So Australia hasn't allowed immigrants over the past 18 months. But they're starting to open the doors to overseas students, overseas travelers from South Korea and Japan. And they're starting to up their refugee intake. So this place is so boring. Without Somalis and Afghans. They're livin' things up. So it's interesting in the news coverage that nothing about how these refugees will be a benefit to Australia. It's all about Australia's humanitarian concerns about doing good for the refugees. But what about the refugees doing good for Australia? That doesn't seem to come up. It's not even a concern. I can also talk about refugee intake. There's nothing... I don't want bothers to make the case how this will be good for Australia. What about Australia? Does Australia have any interest here? Does Australia have anything at stake here? Is it okay for Australia to ask, okay, how are these refugees going to benefit us? Do they have valuable job skills that native Australians don't have? The government sets wage rates by determining how much immigration you have. The more immigration, the lower wage rates go. So yeah, valuable job skills Cut off a buyer in Sydney to kill four Somali kids. So I don't know where the parents derelict. Who was derelict? Ah, Josh Randall, how are you, mate? You got Australia envy? We're going to assemble the whole crew here and we're going to go on a walkabout. But I'm just wondering did the Somali family do something wrong? I mean, the four Somali kids going up in smoke. Australia's not benefited from all from African immigration? That can't be true. That sounds racist, mate. I'm sure that there are many ways, wonderful ways, considerable ways that Australia's benefited from African immigration. Just a walkabout stream to the best. I didn't bring my selfie stick. I'm a little self-conscious because I'm the only person I've seen in Australia carrying around a selfie stick. It's been the most of today doing adult tasks. I've set up my bank account this morning, my Aussie bank account, my PayPal. Stop funneling the money into Australia. You're planning to visit other states. Yeah, I'm planning to go to Queensland, mate. Queensland. But you have to take a PCR COVID test, cost $150 just to enter Queensland. Selfie sticks are the best. I'm the only one walking around with a selfie stick. I feel like I'm being an ugly American. Yeah, PCR tests are like $150. Like it was $185 in Los Angeles. Yeah, just flip a coin. I'm triple Vax, man. I'm triple vaccinated. I can't even go to synagogue here without sharing proof of vaccination. Yeah, Queensland. So yesterday there was something like 120 new cases of COVID in Victoria. About 20 new cases in Sydney. Two new cases in Northern Territory. Okay. Your thoughts on Australian Jury? They seem to be overachievers. That's what they seem to be. They seem to be quite well-organized. And I'll have to learn more. Talk to you later. This is tyranny. I don't want to be free. Tyranny means that when you enter a store, you check in with a quote, if you eat, you wear a mask. That's the baller. Now things are all here in Bondi. A nice little Jewish table hood. It's a great place to finish food that week. I've been in Australia for six days now. I haven't heard a harsh word except for having been in my own head for a few times. I've seen a photo from synagogue and Jewish schools. Once here in Bondi, all the fixings. So one crazy thing I noticed, probably much of the US, much of the industrialized world, they're still obsessed with cleaning surfaces. COVID from the surface. It's airborne transmission. But sometimes as a condition of entry, you have to use some kind of hand sanitizer. And they have to lower level staff, touch it on the buses and the trains. And again and again and again. That's not how COVID is transmitted. We know that's not how COVID is transmitted. It's a bit irrational. But early on in the pandemic, right, we've heard about, oh, COVID can linger on surfaces for this many hours. We have to scrub and clean and deep clean and deep COVID cleaning services are offered around the surfaces. That's the dangerous way it's airborne transmission. Wearing a mask seems to have common sense to me. New Year's got about 150th of the per capita death rate in the States. Good job with all the restrictions, but I haven't done anything really that other countries haven't done. I've just enjoyed many advantages. Now what it is, I don't really know why. I don't know what strong grasp of why. Some places have high COVID death rates and other places don't. Nice walk up the hill. See how I do, mate. Overlooking Bondi Beach. It's where a nice Abad synagogue welcoming the Shi'a Street here. Not getting any abuse out and about wearing my yarmulke. That's your Shi'a in Bondi. So, pretty much every stripe you go into, they have like the lowest level employees who stand at the door and make sure you check in and often use hand sanitizer to check in on your smartphone where a mask waiter inside. And I don't hear much grumbling on the street, so I know there was a big protest in Central Business District of Sydney on Saturday so they had this freedom protest. But, overall it seems like the restrictions are fairly popular. I tell everyone I meet, the Sydney seems like a really well run place for governments working on behalf of its citizens. All the Sydney Siders have lots and lots of complaints. I see a city where the trains and buses run on time and garbage gets picked up where everything's lush. abundant parks. A gorgeous golf course in Bondi. Wow. I've been hanging out in the suburbs so these are the most expensive places in Australia. So, you can allow the prices to discriminate so that you don't have to and Queensland's opening up. Maybe I have to pop up to Queensland about three weeks and no longer have to get that $150 PCR test to show that you're COVID-negative to cross over into Queensland. So, I see quite a few Muslims out in full Muslim regalia. So, this must be a much more multi-courtier Australia than the one I left behind in 1977. Haven't heard any racial or religious abuse or ordered anyone. It's just not on here on the eastern suburbs, right? Such language and behavior would show you to be low class. This better be a great, great view at the top here. It better be beautiful to justify my exertions. So far, I've been after walk pretty much everywhere I want to go. Which is nice. Not once have I felt any sense of menace. You're going to join a sports club, play a bit of cricket. I think I'm more of a commentator, mate. Yeah, well, I'm getting in shape. Getting in shape to become a lifeguard. A few more weeks in Australia I'll be able to run up this hill, mate. Where's the trash? Where's the graffiti? Where are the rival gangs? People go to the beach here. They leave their phones, their wallets, their purses, their laptops. Right on the beach, go for a dip, come back. Everything's still there. Lifeguards. I don't look out for people in the sea. Yeah, so look out for thieves. I think you've done a pretty effective job of discouraging them. So what was it? That was Cranulla. They had the Cranulla Riots. They were native Australians versus the Lebanese. So that's a few miles from here. About 15 miles from here. 20. They're riding, going on the east and suburb. We're too posh. Three Anglo names around here. Victory Street. So, meanwhile in Charlottesville, big defeat for the alright. Well, the defendants lost the civil suit, right? Not that they have any money to pay up, but those judgments will be hanging over them for the rest of their lives. Also, doesn't look good. So, could be your alt-right to quit itself in glory at Charlottesville, I don't think so. No doubt to be in a really bad idea. So, Charlottesville reminds me the situation I got into in late August or early September of 1988. I was at UCLA and I had arrived one third early before the dormitories opened up. And there was a big tennis tournament going on at UCLA. So, I didn't want to spend the money. So, I climbed this outcrop. Watched the tennis for free. Then as the tournament progressed, we started sending security guards to run us out of the outcrop. So, I was there watching the match for free with some other blokes. And security came up. Security said we have to leave. And as we were saying that, we slipped on the edge with a parapet. It was a very substantial fall down to the ground. And he could have lost his life. And I might have played a role in all of that. Because if I hadn't been there, I wouldn't have been up there. Security wouldn't have been up there. So, you hold an event unlikely to have complete control of who comes. And so, they then bear some responsibility for bad behavior of blokes like fields. So, my full interview with Andrew Fraser is on my Rumble account. So, you have more free speech on Rumble. So, YouTube gave me a strike. Now, I thought I had definitely put that Andrew Fraser on private on YouTube just so that I could download it. And somehow it ended up public and very quickly got a strike. So, that's why I'm not streaming on my other channel. Oh, 41 minutes. That's all I did, right? So, I primarily made a social call on Andrew Fraser. So, the interview was secondary. Charlottesville journey was all from the town. Yeah, they were doing it from the start. So, you're not only responsible for your deeds, you bear some responsibility for the repercussions of your deeds. Yeah, I just ended it so that Andrew could enjoy his dessert. So, everyone could enjoy their dessert. So, I primarily paid a social call on Andrew Fraser and his wife. And a quick interview was just just a little something on the side. So, this view better be worth it, mate. Looking forward to a spectacular look into the Pacific Ocean here. Just saw a book on the history of the Pacific Ocean. How do you write a history of the Pacific Ocean? And in 1829 there was a tide that was unusual. I flew Fiji Airlines to Australia. Yeah, it didn't matter where the jury was from with the news coverage. So, we flew over on the Fiji Airlines. But we weren't just following twigs and patterns in the wave and navigating from the sun. We had full professional instruments. This is nice. The Rodney Reserve. Many people don't realize that this is the Rodney Reserve named after Rodney Martin for his contributions to humanity. We're getting some Aussie rules. First test cricket match is going to be at about two weeks. First Ashes match. Not after Rodney King, mate. This is beautiful. About 12 hours flight going east to west will take me to Los Angeles. I think it's only 12 hours back home. I'll have to fly straight from Los Angeles to Sydney is about 15 hours. About to have a late lunch at a kosher restaurant one day. That breeze off the ocean, mate. It's tough. It's life under a police state, mate. You've got a hungry jacks to get yourself a veggie whopper. I don't think that place is kosher, mate. You just support the Jewish community. Open up my wallet. Australian dollar like a kangaroo dollar. It just really jumps far over here. 72 American cents gets you one Australian dollar. Good place to raise kids if you can afford it. Safe. Kids can ride public transport. You can go play and muck around. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going to turn it off right now. This golf course is good. Just golf course. Play a few holes. Don't think I've played golf in 20 years but just looking at this. I want to go play again, man. What a rep of golf course one day. What a beautiful Jewish community here, I ran some lovely... My lunch. I had a late lunch at Peter Mix. I had the vegetarian burger and it was so good. Peter Mix is a series of kosher restaurants in Bondi. I'm walking along the core of the community right now and the beach is about a kilometer to my left. Not just a cohesive Australian community. It is a cohesive Jewish community as well. The rabbis get along like they work together. During the lockdown they organized a shofar blowing on Rosh Hashanah in the park to reduce risk of COVID. So, the Sidney rabbis emphasize the law of the land is more to the Jew to help you dictate. So, 10 minutes then everyone goes home. Social distances. Very little spread of COVID in the Australian community and the Jewish community. Now, in Sidney, there was a fringe of a fringe group that disregarded lockdown rules. I think they got fined about 5,500 Australian each disregarding the rules. That's very rare in the Jewish community and not how things are done here in Sidney. By the law of the land served the lockdown and it's just a wonderful thing to see how cohesive the Sidney Jewish community was not just with reaction to COVID but in general. It's about a scandal-free community that you'll find rabbis don't allow their egos to get in the way of working with other rabbis. All the rabbis here, they work together to build a safe community. Maybe the relaxed Australian attitude also affects the Jewish community so there's not a lot of feuding here in Sidney. Rival rabbis aren't going at it. About 80%, as I understand it, of Sidney's Jews live in the Eastern suburbs of the poshest communities by the beach. They're children of Holocaust survivors from East Europe and Jews that live here. They tend to be entrepreneurial highly accomplished, highly educated law-abiding and they contribute enormously to the tax base because when they send their kids to private Jewish schools they're still funding public schools. When you're a doctor or a lawyer, a dentist, accountant, an entrepreneur they're being disproportionate about tax, not using social services. You send your kids to private Jewish school and the Jewish community thinks care of its own in the Bondi Jewish community. Even though things are pretty chill and they don't notice any overt racial or religious hostility but still the security is excellent on top of things. I grew up in Sanctea Adventist so we didn't have security and we didn't have to have law enforcement showing up to our churches and we didn't have these metal detectors and background checks on people coming to church but something I learned when I converted to Judaism is a much greater threat and as a result the more measures you have to take to keep things safe and these measures are just escalating, particularly after the shooting in Pittsburgh where the synagogue left about 10 people dead and another shooting in Poway a year after that so that then ripples out of facts in the community worldwide what can we do just relying on the kindness relying on law enforcement what can we do to look after ourselves to see what's the healthy attitude of every community without that kind of mindset what can we do to look after ourselves looking at our weaknesses what can we do to protect our community what can we do to help our community what can we do to revitalize our community what can we do to help our community prosper and if there are elements in the community that are causing trouble solve those problems Sydney's Jewish community is like a light unto the nation tonight it's really impressed by everything I see in here Australia's had pretty selective immigration probably the sanest immigration policy of any of the Anglo nations so overwhelming the people who immigrate here are educated they have skills they're entrepreneurial they go to the table and as a result build a prosperous life here and as a result of that they pay a lot of tax which then subsidizes social services for those who need them there are lots of Kabad, Lubavitch Synagogues Bondi and then there's another Orthodox Jewish community up north this is the primary side of the golf course I love golf it attracts the best sort of people people who play golf they tend to be nice they tend to be polite they tend to follow the rules they tend to be law abiding they tend to be ethical they tend to hold themselves to account they take cognizance for the effects of their choices on other people golfers are the best in a while since I've been out there golfing just a good type of people both attracts the best kind of people and then develops their character have your transparency in the light of day in Australia of course man now to get connected to that great power source the almighty that's the best power source people like 40 desperately need a power greater than themselves my power is weak my power soft way too often that's a plug in to the great power generator from the sky creator of heaven and earth so a lot of people in Sydney say oh the traffic is as bad as LA yeah not quite not quite this is like a peaceful country town it is I guess it's about 5pm so I'm looking for the ocean I want to take a pleasant ocean hike a perfect time of day to go to the ocean so the temperature here it's buried between about 60 degrees and 70 degrees it's rained pretty much every day only lightly here's a good size intersection so I think we're about a kilometer from the beach one dive beach and jacaranda and gloom the infrastructure for georgia everything you need there are schools there are synagogues there are schools how they even have their own live streamer the only selfie stick I've seen in Australia it's so strong not very Aussie to walk around with a selfie stick but Australians are pretty tolerant people should be right mate it's kind of the Aussie ethos here we go no worries when I was talking to Aussies in Los Angeles they complained about how when they go to shore they'd always get verbally abused wearing distinctive garb and wearing a yarmulke but everyone I talk to here says that doesn't happen so talking to Jews here I've never experienced being verbally abused being Jewish and having encountered people inside Jewish hatred so quite a lot of Jews and Muslims live in different parts of Sydney so the Muslims live more in the western suburbs where the real estate is cheaper Jews live in the eastern suburbs where the real estate is more expensive a lot of roundabouts a lot more roundabouts than traffic lights so I think America is going to start using roundabouts there's a big article in the New York Times about one man I think he'd been to Europe and he saw all the roundabouts good idea so apparently roundabouts reduce dangerous collisions alright we're on the way to the beach so I'm dealing with Australian bureaucracy and it's very particular so it can be a bit of a pain get your Medicare sorted out roundabouts of economies and your tax file number they can start working and bringing up documents and they had two documents they wouldn't accept the documents on my phone they had to be hard copies so get a tax file number at the Australian Post Office but once you're in you're in right a little bit like all the dark studios but easy to break into a little bit of a slider a bit of a test when you convert a bit of a challenge once you're in you're in mate and you're amongst family ok my sister was right I should have worn a hat a lot of sun out today didn't slap on enough sunscreen look out for your mates your mates look out for you yeah that's the Aussie at Epos mate so that's the saying slip on a shirt slap on a hat slap on some sunscreen slip slap slip slap slap that's the that's the Aussie public service announcements to reduce skin cancer that's for the glasses Alex we have to see clearly mate so much gorgeous scenery here the birds are amazing so I heard some crocodiles the other day they're right at home I'm not a vain man mate ok here we go this whole neighborhood is happening mate just bursting with life vitality just getting back to it after lockdown ended about 5 weeks ago so crowds are returning we're going to have 4 crowds test cricket matches the ashes against England tons of cafes and coffee houses they've been here in Australia the last couple of decades best beer drinking more wine drinking more coffee drinking the Sydney Jewish community definitely punches above its weight very successful hard working accomplished educated influential deeply Zionist really true Israel fund a lot of institutes think tanks like the Lowy Institute is that the Lowy Institute is the Lowy Institute in Australia mate Chilas everyone in eastern suburbs seems so fit so I saw on the news that Australians have become as fat as Americans and see that in the eastern suburbs I haven't seen one fat person in the eastern suburbs everyone's fit you come out to the beach 5-6am everyone's out jogging young old men women getting fit I'd say one fat person in the eastern suburbs mate I thought Australia would become a nation of faties and I'm not seeing it here on the eastern suburbs so it's also true with West LA you don't see any fat people too so this feels like West LA set without the crime without the homelessness without the graffiti without general antisocial behaviour without loud music booming out of cars without gangs disrupting shopping centres
