- 1:10OWN FOOD, speak their own BLOODY
- 1:12LANGUAGES, TRY TO TAKE OVER THE WHOLE
- 1:13BLOODY PLACE.
- 1:16WELL, THAT SOUNDS BRITISH TO ME. I mean,
- 1:20>> [applause]
- 1:21[cheering]
- 1:25[applause]
- 1:29[applause]
- 1:30>> if there's one country
- 1:33>> [laughter]
- 1:33>> IF THERE'S ONE NATION IN THE WORLD
- 1:36>> [cheering]
- 1:37>> that has no right to complain about
- 1:39immigration,
- 1:41it's Great Britain.
- 1:44>> [cheering]
- 1:44[applause]
- 1:45>> If there's one nation in particular,
- 1:50you do understand they created the
- 1:51problem that they're now dealing with.
- 1:54They went out and colonized the world.
- 1:57At one point, half of the globe was
- 1:59controlled by the British Empire. Do you
- 2:01understand how insane that is?
- 2:03They went around colonizing from pillar
- 2:05to post. People didn't care about them.
- 2:07No one was trying to find the British.
- 2:10The British were the ones traveling the
- 2:12world telling everyone of their
- 2:13existence knocking on doors. Hey, we're
- 2:15the British. Follow us.
- 2:18It's basically ancient Twitter. That's
- 2:19what that was.
- 2:27And I'm not saying the British are bad
- 2:29people, by the way. You know,
- 2:30I understand that colonization was
- 2:31something that was popular at one time.
- 2:33Many European countries participated in
- 2:35it. But the British were the best.
- 2:37You know, they were the best. It's not
- 2:38because they were bad. I think I I I I I
- 2:41blame it on the weather.
- 2:42That's what I think happened.
- 2:44I think they have bad weather and bad
- 2:45weather makes you a bad person.
- 2:49Yeah, because if you think about it,
- 2:50there was no one from a tropical climate
- 2:53who was trying to take over the world.
- 2:57You don't ever hear stories of Caribbean
- 2:59conquerors.
- 3:02Yeah, there's no stories of like Troy
- 3:03the terrible from Trinidad. You don't
- 3:05hear these stories.
- 3:08There's no need for that. When the
- 3:10weather's horrible, you want to go
- 3:11somewhere else and take it from
- 3:12somebody. If you're living in a
- 3:13beautiful paradise, you have no need to
- 3:15leave. Could you imagine that scene?
- 3:17Just some random handsome guys hanging
- 3:20out on a beach in the Caribbean.
- 3:22One looking at the other out of nowhere.
- 3:25Darius.
- 3:27Darius.
- 3:28What, Troy?
- 3:30I was thinking, bro.
- 3:32Stay with me here. I was thinking,
- 3:34right?
- 3:35We should build boats, sail around the
- 3:38world, and force everyone to dance
- 3:40calypso.
- 3:42>> [applause]
- 3:45>> It wouldn't happen.
- 3:47>> [applause]
- 3:48>> It just wouldn't happen.
- 3:52The British
- 3:53colonized with class. They went all over
- 3:55the globe. And you know what
- 3:56colonization we we read about it now and
- 3:58it seems normal cuz it's in a history
- 3:59book. They colonized colonized
- 4:00colonized. When you think about
- 4:01colonization, it is the strangest thing
- 4:04you can think about cuz conquering is
- 4:05one thing. You go to another country,
- 4:07you take what's theirs, you want more,
- 4:08you take the land, you know, you you
- 4:10take the resources, you you kill the
- 4:12people. That I understand, but
- 4:14colonization I don't condone. I
- 4:16understand.
- 4:18But colonization
- 4:20is strange because you go there and you
- 4:21don't just take over. You then force the
- 4:23people to become you.
- 4:27That is such a strange concept.
- 4:29When you think about where the British
- 4:30did it. I mean they you know, they did
- 4:32it in in Africa. They you know, they did
- 4:34it in in in Asia. And think about in
- 4:36India. Those cultures could not be more
- 4:38diametrically opposed.
- 4:40And out of nowhere the British just
- 4:42decided to roll up.
- 4:43Imagine what the Indians must have felt
- 4:45like on that day.
- 4:47Minding your own business.
- 4:49Walking through a field.
- 4:51Next thing you know, the British showed
- 4:52up on horseback.
- 5:01Hear ye, hear ye.
- 5:03BY ORDER OF HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN, WE
- 5:05HAVE ARRIVED.
- 5:12You over there.
- 5:13WHAT IS THE NAME OF THIS LAND?
- 5:18THIS LAND OVER HERE?
- 5:20This is called India.
- 5:23Well, my good man, I am here to TELL YOU
- 5:25THAT INDIA IS NOW UNDER THE BRITISH
- 5:27EMPIRE.
- 5:33AND I'M glad that I can tell you that
- 5:35India is exactly where it was yesterday.
- 5:39>> [applause]
- 5:42>> No no no, I I feel you're not
- 5:44understanding what I'm saying. I'm
- 5:46letting you know that WE'RE HERE TO
- 5:47COLONIZE YOU BY ORDER OF THE QUEEN.
- 5:52WHO IS THE QUEEN?
- 5:54The Queen. The Queen of England, the
- 5:56ruler of Great Britain. She who was
- 5:59ordained by God.
- 6:02Which God?
- 6:06God. The one true God.
- 6:09There are many gods, my friend. What is
- 6:11the name of your God?
- 6:16There is only one God, AND HIS NAME IS
- 6:17GOD, AND YOU TOO SHALL WORSHIP HIM.
- 6:20YOU WANT ME TO worship a God, but you
- 6:22don't want to tell me his name?
- 6:25What are you talking about? There are
- 6:26many gods, okay? There is Shiva, there
- 6:28is Lakshmi, there is Hare Krishna. There
- 6:29are many gods. What is the name of your
- 6:32God?
- 6:35HIS NAME IS GOD.
- 6:38>> [laughter]
- 6:39>> You don't know the name of your God?
- 6:44It's just God.
- 6:46Is it like Mommy or Daddy?
- 6:50You want me to worship your God, but you
- 6:52don't want me to tell me his name, huh?
- 6:53How am I going to pray to him? What do I
- 6:55do? Every morning I go to wake up, then
- 6:56I pray like, "Oh, dear God, dear God, I
- 6:58was hoping that maybe God you could help
- 7:00me." No, no, sorry, not you, other God.
- 7:01No, no, other God. No, no, it's not
- 7:03wrong God. No God, I was trying to talk
- 7:05to other No, no, no, you're right. I
- 7:06should have asked for her first name.
- 7:08No, no, God. No, other God, please. No,
- 7:10God behind that God. No, not you today,
- 7:11God. Other God, you're right. He told me
- 7:13he would know who I was talking to, and

- 7:16God on that No, no, that God you Then I
- 7:18wonder why my prayers are not getting
- 7:19answered, huh?
- 7:22>> [cheering and applause]
- 7:26[applause]
- 7:27>> How dare you speak to me like that?
- 7:30DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM? NO, BECAUSE you
- 7:32never introduced yourself.
- 7:36I have come here representing Great
- 7:39Britain.
- 7:40And I have never heard of Britain.
- 7:43Who gave you that name?
- 7:48Well, well, well, we did.
- 7:52You called yourselves great?
- 7:55Isn't that a little presumptuous?
- 7:59Shouldn't you wait for other people to
- 8:00tell you how great you are? Huh?
- 8:03Shouldn't you just go around the world
- 8:04and just do good things, good things,
- 8:05good things? Then people go, "Oh my god,
- 8:07Britain, look how great you are."
- 8:10>> [applause]
- 8:13>> Well, I I I beg to differ. I believe we
- 8:15could do it because we knew
- 8:16INSTINCTIVELY WE ARE GREAT BRITAIN.
- 8:20WELL, in that case, welcome to Great
- 8:21India.
- 8:23No, no, it it doesn't it DOESN'T WORK
- 8:25LIKE THAT. IT DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT.
- 8:27HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO ME LIKE THIS?
- 8:28LOOK, YOU'RE THE ONE WHO dares to speak
- 8:30to me, okay? I was here minding my own
- 8:32business in my land. You came over here
- 8:34riding on your skinny cow telling me
- 8:36that things are going to change.
- 8:38I don't know who you are. All I know is
- 8:40you're clearly crazy, okay? You're not
- 8:41feeling too right. And I didn't want to
- 8:43say anything, but you look like you are
- 8:44going to faint. In fact, it looks like
- 8:45you have died last week, okay?
- 8:47Something is very wrong with your skin.
- 8:49You're not looking good, my friend.
- 8:50Maybe you should come down. We have a
- 8:51curry, we talk about this.
- 8:53What are you talking about? I LOOK QUITE
- 8:54NORMAL.
- 8:55>> YOU DO NOT LOOK NORMAL, MY FRIEND. I've
- 8:56never seen anybody with that complexion
- 8:58in my life, okay?
- 9:00You look like you're playing hide and
- 9:01seek with the sun your entire life. I
- 9:03don't know what is happening, but that
- 9:04is not how a person should look, huh? I
- 9:06can see your veins pumping through your
- 9:08skin right now. Do you know how creepy
- 9:09that is? Pumping, pumping, pumping,
- 9:11pumping. If I was your doctor, I don't
- 9:14need X-ray machine. I just go, "What is
- 9:15problem? It is your kidney." How do I
- 9:16know? Because you're translucent. That
- 9:18is how I know.
- 9:20Damn you, WE ARE GOING TO RUN THIS
- 9:21COUNTRY WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT. WE
- 9:23ARE NOT GOING to do anything you tell
- 9:24us. You're a madman. WE ARE GOING TO
- 9:26TAKE IT. YOU'RE NOT TAKING. WE'RE GOING
- 9:27TO
- 9:32She's all yours. Take. Take.
- 9:34Don't play nice. Take.
- 9:37And that's how the British took over.
- 9:40>> [applause]
- 9:41>> That's how they took over India.
- 9:47And then, [applause]
- 9:49many, many years later, the British,
- 9:51after they were done pillaging, left and
- 9:53went back home.
- 9:55And so, it only stands to reason
- 9:58that those Indians who they had now made
- 10:00British
- 10:02would seek out
- 10:04the land from whence they came.
- 10:09I don't understand why British people
- 10:10are complaining going, "Why are they
- 10:12COMING HERE? WHY ARE WHY THE HELL ARE
- 10:13YOU COMING HERE?" BECAUSE YOU TOLD us
- 10:16how great it was, so we came to see for
- 10:17ourselves.
- 10:19>> [applause]
- 10:22>> NO.
- 10:23GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM. GO BACK.
- 10:25YOU'RE NOT WELCOME HERE. THIS IS NOT
- 10:26YOUR HOME. BUT YOU SAID we are all part
- 10:28of the British Empire.
- 10:30No, when I said part, I meant you were
- 10:32under US, RIGHT? WE'RE THE BRITISH. YOU
- 10:34ARE THE EMPIRE. WHAT DO you mean? We are
- 10:36the British, AND YOU ARE THE EMPIRE.
- 10:38OKAY, WELL, in that case, the Empire
- 10:40strikes back.
- 10:42Now, make some curry and tell me where
- 10:44we're sitting, okay? Let's go. Let's go.
- 10:45Let's go. Let's go.
- 10:51>> [music]
