Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Fidias, a twenty four year old YouTuber who
ran for European parliaments and won. They have already seen
Phidias when he hugged Elon Musk or for making national
headlines and getting canceled by the Internet, for dodging train fairs,
stealing food and running from the police in Japan. But
(00:21):
now he's one of the youngest members in European parliaments,
currently making decisions that will decide the fate of the world.
But how did this silly YouTuber go from making videos
like this to becoming a real politician The likes of
Elon Musk retweeting all the time. I pulled up to
the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France to see Phidias's new
job up close.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Fidias to vote inside for some extra stuff. In said,
to vote about the hurricane in one country. If we
want to give more money to them, So we want
to give them for money, so vote plus. It's easy
when there is flats and all this stuff. You just
vote to help the people to give them a bit
more money. Okay, care ask answertain questions and we're going
(01:02):
to vote if would I care or not?
Speaker 1 (01:04):
To be in this position now. One important thing to
keep in mind is that Fidias is independent, meaning he
does not represent a political party. When Phidias won his election,
he asks his followers on social media to vote if
he should join the Green Party or remain independent. His
followers voted independence, and in true democratic fashion, Fidias listened. Now,
(01:25):
being independent allows Phidias to vote on issues on the
basis of what he believes in rather than a political
party's given agenda, and occasionally Phidias post polls on Twitter
asking the people to democratically decide how he should vote,
in his attempt to give the people a direct voice
in how the government has run. Overall, Phidias's status as
an independent can be viewed as a sign of integrity
(01:45):
and independence on behalf of his voters, while also potentially
reducing his overall effectiveness given he has no political party
backing him. I went to Phidias's office to meet with
him and his political advisors to see how they educate
themselves on issues and decide on how they vote.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
This is our office, Welcome to our office.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
What is the voting?
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Exactly about?
Speaker 5 (02:04):
The voting is about? In Belgium, two companies that fired
their employees. They did not fire them, they had to
close down the companies. Five hundred and sixty seven workers
from a paper company and one hundred and fourteen from
a machinery company. So this is really the fund intervenes
to help these people move on to the next step
in their working career.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
So it's a yes or no.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
It's a single vote.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
It's a yes or no. What I need to understand
exactly what they are getting.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Obviously we want to say yes because we want them,
but there's more stuff.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
That means there is a touched Okay.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
We're trying to deconstruct the problem itself and figure out
if this even helps anyone.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Is that Yeah, Yeah, it's a good question. Yeah, it's
actually help.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
So that's why we like this because we learned so
many new things.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah, and you're asking some critical questions, right, not just
yes no, yes, no.
Speaker 6 (02:51):
We're not attached. We don't have a central secretariat of
a political group to research and prepare the voting. We're
just us. So we have to revery subject and we
have to decide ourselves toward other vps that they belong
to political groups. They get the voting at least already,
and they maybe have no idea about what they vote
because they trust the party.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Do you feel adequately prepared to vote on something at
the end of these conversations you've learned enough.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
It's not enough.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
But sometimes we bring experts here in the room and
the teachers. For example, we're not experts about agriculture in Europe.
So when it's about agriculture, we have a friend that
we trust his opinion. We bring him here to participate
in this debate and we ask him the question, do
you think.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
The Parliament needs more phidiasis.
Speaker 7 (03:33):
I'm not saying. There is no perfect institution in the world,
and for the moment, everybody is getting used with the
way of the institution is functioning. You always need younger
people who come outside of the system to shake things
a little bit and to evolve.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
One good thing that we have in the Parliament is
that a lot of people know us, so they see me,
they sometimes take pictures, they ask me questions. It helps
a lot that you have like a bit of fame
here in the Parliament because this is politics. Like if
you attack them, you can ask for them, you can
learn from them.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
You're like a magnet of opportunities.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
And how many of these MPs you think are corrupt
taking deals under the table, getting some dirty blood money.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Well, it was some things that happen in the past,
but I don't think a big part of them, maybe
a few of them, more than ninety percent of them.
They are good, they're turning their best, but it doesn't
mean that their best is enough.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
And your TikTok's exposing where this money's going all these
new things. Probably they don't appreciate.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
We came here to expose a lot of things. But
the idea is not exposing. It's about saying the truth
of what is happening and trans parents. So this is
kind of the goal. How decisions are being taken, what
is actually be done, and like how the money has
been used.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
The MPs work for the people of Europe, not the
other way around, right, Yes, who do you represent? My
name is to Casipa.
Speaker 8 (04:48):
I'm representing the Party of Progress from Germany and they're
by all of the people from Germany.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
What are your thoughts of Dyes are getting better every day,
yeah right, okay, and people take them serious.
Speaker 8 (05:00):
This is the most important currency here, okay. And I
think many other amities could learn a lot of him
when it comes to social media work.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Do you think he's creating enemies on the inside due
to the transparencies offering to the public, Yes, most definitely.
What will they be concerned about?
Speaker 8 (05:14):
Great enemies due to the fact that he also shows
their weaknesses and for example the amount of people who
is present.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
In the room.
Speaker 9 (05:22):
And of course you know it's a bit of an
elitist institution after all, and he talks in a very
direct way that maybe some people think doesn't live up
to the honor of the parliament.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
What are your thoughts on Fidias and his team? What
are bad?
Speaker 5 (05:37):
And I love?
Speaker 6 (05:38):
Can?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (05:39):
I think there's still.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Only well, you've seen a glimpse of what Fidias's job
looks like inside the European Parliament. You might still be
wondering how a twenty four year old YouTuber with no
prior political experience, no political parties, endorsements, and without millions
of dollars donated to his campaign got elected. To answer this,
I'll need to take you to the tiny eye nation
of Cyprus, Fadias's home and where he received almost twenty
(06:04):
percent of his country's vote. Real quick in this era
of infinite information and media bias. It's tough to tell
what's fake news and what's real news, but luckily straight
Arrownews delivers fact based reporting straight down the center. Using
their media misstool, you can stay up to date on
what the mainstream news outlets don't cover on both the
right and the left, like Seattle minimum wage hitting twenty
(06:26):
dollars and seventy six cents on the left, and a
Utah lawsuit claiming TikTok knew it's live streams were exploiting
children on the right, helping you get a full picture
of what's going on in the world while avoiding media
bias and blind spots. As I edited this video, I
learned that New Jersey removed a basic literacy test required
to become a teacher amidst the teacher shortage, and Canadian
(06:48):
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his plans for resignation. If
you want to learn more about a given story, their
media Landscape tool displays the outlets covering the story and
groups them according to their bias. And if you want
to find the original coverage from the outlets that report it,
you can just click the outlets icon and it'll take
you directly to their coverage. If you want to stay informed,

Now let's go to Cyprus.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
We're in Nicosia now, the capital of Cyprus, and we're
welcome to the checkpoint in that is divided in the communities.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Do we Jaywalk now that you're a politician. I actually
went to jail for Jaywalker. All right, he's gonna stop
them like Moses in the Red Sea. Right now, I'm
joking about kidding. He's a politician, Kamana.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
I cannot get that arrested.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
You have political all over eurob I don't get that ested.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
So you're invincible here.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I can steal as many trains I want.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
If you become president of Cypress, do you think you'll
have positive diplomatic relationship with Japan? Very few people are
probably aware of the history of Cypress period. Maybe tell
me about the history of Cypress as relates to Greece.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
In nineteen sixty we had our independence from the UK.
Were a colonial country of the UK. In Cyprus, we
have two communities. We have the Greek Cypriots and the
turky Sypriods. Turky Sypiods are twenty percent of the population
and Greek Cypriots.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Are around eighty percent of the population.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
These two communities kind of cause us a lot of
problems when we got our independence. It was the political system,
how the rules and regulation happened. It was kind of
forced the two communities to backlash, so they didn't prepare
the regulations and the political system correct for the two communities.
So it was a civil war basically for ten years
(08:36):
between the two communities. And it's been fifty years that
we're trying between the two communities to solve and talk
this problem. Now we're working to the checkpoint to see
kind of where the island is divided.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
When I make.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Speeches in the European Parliament and all this stuff, I
consider both of the side. I'm careful with my words
to represent the both of the communities, which not a
lot of people are doing.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Heat from both sides because you're presenting both sides arguments.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
After the invasion, Turkey is bringing a lot of people
who establish kind of false country in a way, and
the population is rising and all this stuff, and the
Turkish Cypriot community is becoming a minority now and they're
going out of extinction. There is an army there, There
is I think forty thousand people army in Basis and
the Turkish Cypriot.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Community, and we don't like this.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
We want the all the army to live the island,
you know, we to have military, but together, not to
have Turkish military here. We want the Turkish military to live. Yes, hell, yes, hello,
my friends, I love you too.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
You know who this guy is?
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Who is it?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
It's just I'm justice levels to TikTok.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
He says that he knows me from TikTok, but he
doesn't know my name.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Kid.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
I'm not saying sorry, because yeah, I'm doing it out
of love.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
What are the thoughts on the divide between the Turkish
Cyprettes and the Greek Cypriottes, just pruce? Does he want
the Turks out of Cyprus?
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Okay? What are your thoughts on what's going on here?
It's the shame? How you know? What do I did?
I mean both?
Speaker 4 (10:19):
It's time to get a bit along, a bit better,
especially with influences like and.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
You think he's a positive force connecting the dots a
little bit. Definitely.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
It's very hard for a politician and the Greek set
to be liked on the Turkey right here?
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Yeah, I know, he's great.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Great.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
What are your thoughts on Greek cypriettes? Very good? What
about Turkish cypriottes?
Speaker 3 (10:38):
What are you very very bad?
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Very bad? What about your very good people?
Speaker 7 (10:42):
All?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
All? The book is good?
Speaker 8 (10:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Very divisive, Toby.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
You ask you question, they give you a very different
which is very interesting, is right?
Speaker 3 (10:50):
They know you as well. Do you have a fun cover?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
I appreciate that. I was gonna eat. What are your
thoughts on this guy right here? Amazing guy? I love
this guy. He wants to change the students from the school.
I like his opinions. I like everything about him. What
are your thoughts on him, hug Musk?
Speaker 9 (11:07):
I mean it was his dream, he tried his best
to do it, he got it.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Congratulations. What are your thoughts on him not paying his
eighty n in Japan? I mean forgiving him? Did he
embarrass you as a nation or was it chill?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
It was chill?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
I think I think he liked that. You know who
is you know his name? What is his name?
Speaker 9 (11:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Okay? What are your thoughts on for the how is
he doing? Is is very good?
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Boy?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
This is what I'm trying to do here insight to
kind of restore the false propaganda that we've been fed
because in this site we only hear about the invasion
inside person nineteen seventy four, which is very unjustly happened
and like we're very angry powers.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
So the Turkeys Cypriots.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Do you know him? Do you know him? What is
his name?
Speaker 2 (11:53):
In the Turkey Sypriot community, I only know and they
feed propaganda about what we did to them teen sixty three.
So this is what I'm trying to help with my podcast,
with my videos, for people to know the history. I
don't want them to do anything. I just want them
to know the history. People are waiting here to show
that passport to go to the other side, which.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Is a big problem.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Is Greek Cypriot side?
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Yes, this is Greek's pro send And what.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Is the difference besides the checkpoint? Did the majority of
Turk Cypriots live on that side? In Greek Cypriots here
or is there yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Mixing, No, there's no mixing.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
After entering at checkpoint in the Turkish side of Cyprus
and seeing the Island's division up close. I wanted to
discuss with Fidias his plans to unite the people of
Cyprus and now he intends on changing the way politicians
communicate with the people real quick.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
But I'd be like going down the road, You fucked.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
And I made a polem on my social media side Pruse,
and also I did with my English social media. Three
hundred thousand people voted that they don't want under eighty
percent of them voted again me voting.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
For him, and she still got elected. So with these.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Polls you kind of show that the public opinion it
doesn't be represented in the European Parliament.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Or the other representatives voting in accordance with what their
voters want.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
No, I don't think so, because they are voting what
the party wants.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
In the European Union.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
So people like me mostly because they found me as
their way to save you to the politicians.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
So I took these YouTube concepts to that they are
very like registered to vote.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
But with the YouTube theme traveling across the country.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
You did that as well.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
You want across the country, so you get the YouTube spectacle,
add some political element, get them the right sy you know.
Did you vote for him?
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:57):
What are your thoughts on his job? That's vote for me? Wow,
she knows about thank you do the past?
Speaker 9 (14:04):
Who were in your for anyone in Cyprus from regulation
and you're the past to go more?
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Hi, did you vote for Fidias?
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Are you happy?
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Yeah? Because he thinks also with his heart instead of
his mind. Is a superstar out here.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
I love lo.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Ps may represent a new way for politics. Phidias has
spanned all eight cemographics. Okay, and you have the chocolates
to the children like a pope.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
L it's cringe honesty, Hello Christmas.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Do you think it's possible to stay uncorrupted if you
stay in politics long enough?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I'm very early in this. There's been six months. I
think it's possible. I was making fifty thousand dollars a month.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Before. No, I'm making ten.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
They give you more than ten, but you have to
apply that towards employees office.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Yes, they give you around sixty thousand to mon the budget,
but you can forget eight thousand dollars a month.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Would you say the decision you made me in politics
makes you less money overall?
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Yes, makes me less money, but it's not about the money.
My goal is to learn. So we came close to
the sea because she is a big part of my life.
After high school, I didn't want to university. Everyone needs
to do army here in Cyprus, but I chose to
do the most difficult part of the army, the navy
seal part, which is kind of model after the name
(15:28):
V Seals in the US States. And the success rate
is like only ten percent. So we went one hundred
people and we finished only thirteen.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
I'm trained professional to kill in the water.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Life is amazing when you are not wet and you
are not drowning the water.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
But it built a character for me.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
You guys have the equivalent of Hell week.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yes, we have the equivalent of Hell with its five
days without sleep, torture running. The goal is for them
to try to make you quit and only the strong
ones survived. This helped me in every possible way. Also
in my YouTube Carrier also kind of build the strength
to not give up. And the online bullying and politicians
bullying that I get is like nothing.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
So you are trained to kill? Yes, all right, is
going in? Look at that swan dive for me. He's
going on, he's shaking me. Do you think there he is?
How does it feel? Does it feel amazing?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
We want politicians that they are alive, that are having
fun with don't we? I think I want politicians that
they do these types of things.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Would it be fair to say you don't care what
people think?
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Yes, very fast, But I care.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I want to improve. I don't want to make people angry.
But yeah, I don't really care.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Why you've been successful in life.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
I think that's why I'm successful in life is because
I'm lucky, unfortunate.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Now you're being a politician. You don't think your hard work, don't.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
I don't think we have free will as humans, our DNA,
our environment around. I grew up in a good family.
The circumstances take you to where you go.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
If you're a product of your environment.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Who knows we're all gonna die.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Phidias's refreshingly honest approach to life and fearlessness and being
himself and showing his humanity is probably a big reason
why his country loves and trusts him in office. Phidias's
entire existence is a big fat and middle finger to
the entire political system. You know his name. There we go,
Phidias is back at it. There we go. Level with me.
(17:22):
You've reached a new level of fame out here. People
love you.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
I love them as well.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Did you get at home when he came back from
the Japan incident?
Speaker 3 (17:29):
No, I didn't. But there it stopped me close some
doors for me. Some sponsorships didn't want to come on
the channel.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Getting the European Parliament was the best recovery for from Castella.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
That was a good rebrand and as Phidias is loved
all over Cyprus today. Only about one year ago, Phidias
was on the brink of cancelation and faced the three
month upload band.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
For this and now it's time to teach you how
to get the train for free. So I'm entering the
train and I will find the toilet and go straight
to the toil.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
There's no codds. I came to my destination. Now I
think he's waiting for me outside, and I was right.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
So the only thing I could do is to pretend
that I'm sick.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Pulled up to a local I kid to go all
the way back to the beginning of D's YouTube journey
and when he decided that politics was the career pivot
he needed, you become an a v c O. When
do you come to America? And why tell me about that?
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Then I wanted to become a YouTuber because I was
sitting in my room and I was trying because I
saw mister bas doing all these fun things and also
doing a good business. So I was like, oh, this
is what I want now for my life.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
I was stupid.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
I didn't know English very well, so I was trying
with no success. So I said this, let's move to
the United States and to try to do something with that.
So I moved with a box and I was going
to not stop trying and to give it to Arak
And then I'm had rak he had one million, butack,
then he has I don't know, fifteen twenty something like that.
(19:04):
But I understood I cannot go to mister business too
big to accept me. But Eric was in the Rise
and I liked him, so I wanted to approach him.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
So we did cover these.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Videos fly from Cyprus to La.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Yeah to La and no return together. I just wanted
to pursue my YouTube channel.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
I was when you're in Cypress, do you have a
lady at home?
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:25):
I broke up with my girl to do this. My
parents were a bit shocked to send that, so they
were a bit confused but supportive. I was very shocked.
He met me from the first day to give him
the box, and then he said, what the fuck is
this guy? Because I'm like stupid, weird and makes everyone
uncomfortable when they're.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
It gives me on the cheek earlier, so he's amazed
by you.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
He put me in one video.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
People were asking him put him in more videos and
all this stuff.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
So come naturally, I remember this video.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
So the deal with.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Iraq was I will be for freeing his videos and
I would learn from him. I will be around him
and all the stuff. So it was very cool. This
was a beautiful journey. We grew together the channel pause.
I was with friends with Iraq. Then Iraq became friends
with mister Beast, and then I was hung out with
mister Beas for some times, and then he offered by
(20:15):
himself to put me in one of his videos. I said,
let's do it, and then I ended up like he
put me to put my hand in the Laborghini.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
But he didn't know I.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Was a Navy seal and a psycho path so he
didn't expect for me to win. So I want you
want a Lamborghini, mister Yes, And mister Beas's videos are real.
I started getting subscribers as well because I was making
my own videos in my free.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Time, and you get to what two million subscribers.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Yes, two and a half million subscribers.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
A lot because I feel like we got to contextualize the.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Japan Japanese people officially hate me.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
I was traveling to all these countries in the world
for free. So I was traveling in the United States,
hit shiking and doing all these things. And then I
was traveling to UK. I did this and got a
lot of US. I traveled to India. But in this contest,
when you sning in the train, it's kind of cool.
It's like, oh you snag in the train, WHOA cool?
So it's in this part of the world it's kind
(21:11):
of okase if they get you. The people that checked
the tickets that are like, oh no, they don't think
that you are the most biggest criminal.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
In the in Japan.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
It was a mistake because I didn't understand the culture
that they will receive it so bad. But also it's
like I did. It was a bit extreme, worated, like
the people took me while I was in the trade,
and then she was trying to hold with around. We
kept everything in the video because we want to be
transparent and everything, and people after I approad this video,
(21:43):
it was a huge thing on life.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
So the comments are still just as harsh. Thank you
for leaving the evidence of his criminal records in the internet.
I can't believe. I actually thought Hideous was a good guy,
but he just exposed himself for being a liar and
lost all my respect.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
This I'm selling YouTuber that they talk about drama and
all this stuff, and also news outlet BBC and all
this stuff.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
They said the stupid YouTube.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
They made the people a green Japan because it was
some situations as well before with Johnny Somalley, Logan.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Paul, That's right, this is all happening at the same time.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Led to this.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
For me, I didn't really care. I was very cool
for me. I loved every second of it. That people
were hating me.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Why why Because I'm okay with what I did with myself.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
I do agree with their feedback where you just well.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
I agree, but okay, I snug in the train.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
So what you become infamous at this point?
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Yes, people, it's time that I was not Like.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
I don't come at this from a judgmental perspective because
I get canceled all the time now too. Some call
me Tyler Hitler vera good but I'm not a Nazi.
Japan cancels you the commentary, YouTubers start throwing mud, the
channel gets temporarily banned.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Yes, I couldn't unpload videos for like two.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Or three months.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
That's that's brutal. I cry.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Before that, I was getting millions of us in every video,
and after this, I started getting hundreds of thousands. So
it was kind of a problem on my YouTube career.
But then I wanted to make a video about the
European Parliament. But then I got so sacked in because
when I have a goal, I tried my everything to
achieve it.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Like I forget everything I said, you to everything.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
This is something you thought of years before, Like I'm
gonna run for European No, I just wanted to do
it for a video by Nico Amalano, like how he
ran for London mayor. You're like, I'm gonna do that
here and he got some good votes. You're like, maybe
I could, at the very least beg a good video. Okay,
so you thought zero chance.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
I went, yeah, I broke the word record here in
said of people getting registered to vote. So everyone's so okay,
he's retarded, but he's putting so much effort and and
he's saying the truth and this is not how people
are used to It was kind of a.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Comedy genius in a though, right, these videos.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
That I said, how much parliament members get, Like there's
huge scandals here. They never knew how much these people get.
And now people start to have the right expectations because
they understand what we're doing. And my goal in the
next five years is to elevate society's consciousness to understand
more about this topic, the European urion, how we're doing things,
(24:18):
so they are more educated to decide better in the
future what they want, what they don't want what to
expect from politicians, So I think I'm doing a great
deal of service in a way.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Politics is fine. Maybe you can seem president on my
country at some point.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Do you even run for president.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
When I'm thirty five? I'm allowed, But yeah, why not?
I think I can learn a lot of things and
help the country.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Are you going to come back to YouTube and do
twenty four our challenges?
Speaker 2 (24:42):
It's a bit hard to go back to this, but
I like this world because there's a lot more serious tablers,
a lot more stuff that have I think, higher impact
on society. Doing all this YouTube stuff, it was the
best weapon that they have now to be in this role,
and it's like what makes me unique? I think who
would have thought been a YouTube will lead you help
you be a great politician. I don't know if I'm
(25:03):
a great polician, but definitely gives me a lot of
tools to play with to become a great politician.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Do you think if you were not a YouTuber you
would have been able to win the election like you did?
Speaker 2 (25:11):
No, And I don't think I was going to have
so much leverage here in the Parliament to do stuff
if I was not a YouTuber.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Do you think we'll see more YouTubers become politicians. You've
kind of built a blueprints successfully.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
A lot of YouTubers will become politicians because they are
talking with the people directly. The media that you are
doing now is where people consume that information. So I
think it would be required to be on social media
and be a tick together or a YouTuber to be
a politician.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
In the future.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
I think you're speaking facts.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Maybe in the future it will be only YouTubers being politician.
This is Fidias, a twenty four year old YouTuber who
ran for European parliaments and won. They have already seen
Phidias when he hugged Elon Musk or for making national
headlines and getting canceled by the Internet, for dodging train fairs,
stealing food and running from the police in Japan. But
(00:21):
now he's one of the youngest members in European parliaments,
currently making decisions that will decide the fate of the world.
But how did this silly YouTuber go from making videos
like this to becoming a real politician The likes of
Elon Musk retweeting all the time. I pulled up to
the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France to see Phidias's new
job up close.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Fidias to vote inside for some extra stuff. In said,
to vote about the hurricane in one country. If we
want to give more money to them, So we want
to give them for money, so vote plus. It's easy
when there is flats and all this stuff. You just
vote to help the people to give them a bit
more money. Okay, care ask answertain questions and we're going
(01:02):
to vote if would I care or not?
Speaker 1 (01:04):
To be in this position now. One important thing to
keep in mind is that Fidias is independent, meaning he
does not represent a political party. When Phidias won his election,
he asks his followers on social media to vote if
he should join the Green Party or remain independent. His
followers voted independence, and in true democratic fashion, Fidias listened. Now,
(01:25):
being independent allows Phidias to vote on issues on the
basis of what he believes in rather than a political
party's given agenda, and occasionally Phidias post polls on Twitter
asking the people to democratically decide how he should vote,
in his attempt to give the people a direct voice
in how the government has run. Overall, Phidias's status as
an independent can be viewed as a sign of integrity
(01:45):
and independence on behalf of his voters, while also potentially
reducing his overall effectiveness given he has no political party
backing him. I went to Phidias's office to meet with
him and his political advisors to see how they educate
themselves on issues and decide on how they vote.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
This is our office, Welcome to our office.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
What is the voting?
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Exactly about?
Speaker 5 (02:04):
The voting is about? In Belgium, two companies that fired
their employees. They did not fire them, they had to
close down the companies. Five hundred and sixty seven workers
from a paper company and one hundred and fourteen from
a machinery company. So this is really the fund intervenes
to help these people move on to the next step
in their working career.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
So it's a yes or no.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
It's a single vote.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
It's a yes or no. What I need to understand
exactly what they are getting.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Obviously we want to say yes because we want them,
but there's more stuff.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
That means there is a touched Okay.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
We're trying to deconstruct the problem itself and figure out
if this even helps anyone.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Is that Yeah, Yeah, it's a good question. Yeah, it's
actually help.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
So that's why we like this because we learned so
many new things.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah, and you're asking some critical questions, right, not just
yes no, yes, no.
Speaker 6 (02:51):
We're not attached. We don't have a central secretariat of
a political group to research and prepare the voting. We're
just us. So we have to revery subject and we
have to decide ourselves toward other vps that they belong
to political groups. They get the voting at least already,
and they maybe have no idea about what they vote
because they trust the party.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Do you feel adequately prepared to vote on something at
the end of these conversations you've learned enough.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
It's not enough.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
But sometimes we bring experts here in the room and
the teachers. For example, we're not experts about agriculture in Europe.
So when it's about agriculture, we have a friend that
we trust his opinion. We bring him here to participate
in this debate and we ask him the question, do
you think.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
The Parliament needs more phidiasis.
Speaker 7 (03:33):
I'm not saying. There is no perfect institution in the world,
and for the moment, everybody is getting used with the
way of the institution is functioning. You always need younger
people who come outside of the system to shake things
a little bit and to evolve.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
One good thing that we have in the Parliament is
that a lot of people know us, so they see me,
they sometimes take pictures, they ask me questions. It helps
a lot that you have like a bit of fame
here in the Parliament because this is politics. Like if
you attack them, you can ask for them, you can
learn from them.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
You're like a magnet of opportunities.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
And how many of these MPs you think are corrupt
taking deals under the table, getting some dirty blood money.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Well, it was some things that happen in the past,
but I don't think a big part of them, maybe
a few of them, more than ninety percent of them.
They are good, they're turning their best, but it doesn't
mean that their best is enough.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
And your TikTok's exposing where this money's going all these
new things. Probably they don't appreciate.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
We came here to expose a lot of things. But
the idea is not exposing. It's about saying the truth
of what is happening and trans parents. So this is
kind of the goal. How decisions are being taken, what
is actually be done, and like how the money has
been used.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
The MPs work for the people of Europe, not the
other way around, right, Yes, who do you represent? My
name is to Casipa.
Speaker 8 (04:48):
I'm representing the Party of Progress from Germany and they're
by all of the people from Germany.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
What are your thoughts of Dyes are getting better every day,
yeah right, okay, and people take them serious.
Speaker 8 (05:00):
This is the most important currency here, okay. And I
think many other amities could learn a lot of him
when it comes to social media work.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Do you think he's creating enemies on the inside due
to the transparencies offering to the public, Yes, most definitely.
What will they be concerned about?
Speaker 8 (05:14):
Great enemies due to the fact that he also shows
their weaknesses and for example the amount of people who
is present.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
In the room.
Speaker 9 (05:22):
And of course you know it's a bit of an
elitist institution after all, and he talks in a very
direct way that maybe some people think doesn't live up
to the honor of the parliament.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
What are your thoughts on Fidias and his team? What
are bad?
Speaker 5 (05:37):
And I love?
Speaker 6 (05:38):
Can?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (05:39):
I think there's still.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Only well, you've seen a glimpse of what Fidias's job
looks like inside the European Parliament. You might still be
wondering how a twenty four year old YouTuber with no
prior political experience, no political parties, endorsements, and without millions
of dollars donated to his campaign got elected. To answer this,
I'll need to take you to the tiny eye nation
of Cyprus, Fadias's home and where he received almost twenty
(06:04):
percent of his country's vote. Real quick in this era
of infinite information and media bias. It's tough to tell
what's fake news and what's real news, but luckily straight
Arrownews delivers fact based reporting straight down the center. Using
their media misstool, you can stay up to date on
what the mainstream news outlets don't cover on both the
right and the left, like Seattle minimum wage hitting twenty
(06:26):
dollars and seventy six cents on the left, and a
Utah lawsuit claiming TikTok knew it's live streams were exploiting
children on the right, helping you get a full picture
of what's going on in the world while avoiding media
bias and blind spots. As I edited this video, I
learned that New Jersey removed a basic literacy test required
to become a teacher amidst the teacher shortage, and Canadian
(06:48):
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his plans for resignation. If
you want to learn more about a given story, their
media Landscape tool displays the outlets covering the story and
groups them according to their bias. And if you want
to find the original coverage from the outlets that report it,
you can just click the outlets icon and it'll take

Now let's go to Cyprus.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
We're in Nicosia now, the capital of Cyprus, and we're
welcome to the checkpoint in that is divided in the communities.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Do we Jaywalk now that you're a politician. I actually
went to jail for Jaywalker. All right, he's gonna stop
them like Moses in the Red Sea. Right now, I'm
joking about kidding. He's a politician, Kamana.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
I cannot get that arrested.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
You have political all over eurob I don't get that ested.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
So you're invincible here.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I can steal as many trains I want.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
If you become president of Cypress, do you think you'll
have positive diplomatic relationship with Japan? Very few people are
probably aware of the history of Cypress period. Maybe tell
me about the history of Cypress as relates to Greece.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
In nineteen sixty we had our independence from the UK.
Were a colonial country of the UK. In Cyprus, we
have two communities. We have the Greek Cypriots and the
turky Sypriods. Turky Sypiods are twenty percent of the population
and Greek Cypriots.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Are around eighty percent of the population.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
These two communities kind of cause us a lot of
problems when we got our independence. It was the political system,
how the rules and regulation happened. It was kind of
forced the two communities to backlash, so they didn't prepare
the regulations and the political system correct for the two communities.
So it was a civil war basically for ten years
(08:36):
between the two communities. And it's been fifty years that
we're trying between the two communities to solve and talk
this problem. Now we're working to the checkpoint to see
kind of where the island is divided.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
When I make.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Speeches in the European Parliament and all this stuff, I
consider both of the side. I'm careful with my words
to represent the both of the communities, which not a
lot of people are doing.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Heat from both sides because you're presenting both sides arguments.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
After the invasion, Turkey is bringing a lot of people
who establish kind of false country in a way, and
the population is rising and all this stuff, and the
Turkish Cypriot community is becoming a minority now and they're
going out of extinction. There is an army there, There
is I think forty thousand people army in Basis and
the Turkish Cypriot.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Community, and we don't like this.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
We want the all the army to live the island,
you know, we to have military, but together, not to
have Turkish military here. We want the Turkish military to live. Yes, hell, yes, hello,
my friends, I love you too.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
You know who this guy is?
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Who is it?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
It's just I'm justice levels to TikTok.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
He says that he knows me from TikTok, but he
doesn't know my name.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Kid.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
I'm not saying sorry, because yeah, I'm doing it out
of love.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
What are the thoughts on the divide between the Turkish
Cyprettes and the Greek Cypriottes, just pruce? Does he want
the Turks out of Cyprus?
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Okay? What are your thoughts on what's going on here?
It's the shame? How you know? What do I did?
I mean both?
Speaker 4 (10:19):
It's time to get a bit along, a bit better,
especially with influences like and.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
You think he's a positive force connecting the dots a
little bit. Definitely.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
It's very hard for a politician and the Greek set
to be liked on the Turkey right here?
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Yeah, I know, he's great.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Great.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
What are your thoughts on Greek cypriettes? Very good? What
about Turkish cypriottes?
Speaker 3 (10:38):
What are you very very bad?
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Very bad? What about your very good people?
Speaker 7 (10:42):
All?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
All? The book is good?
Speaker 8 (10:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Very divisive, Toby.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
You ask you question, they give you a very different
which is very interesting, is right?
Speaker 3 (10:50):
They know you as well. Do you have a fun cover?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
I appreciate that. I was gonna eat. What are your
thoughts on this guy right here? Amazing guy? I love
this guy. He wants to change the students from the school.
I like his opinions. I like everything about him. What
are your thoughts on him, hug Musk?
Speaker 9 (11:07):
I mean it was his dream, he tried his best
to do it, he got it.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Congratulations. What are your thoughts on him not paying his
eighty n in Japan? I mean forgiving him? Did he
embarrass you as a nation or was it chill?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
It was chill?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
I think I think he liked that. You know who
is you know his name? What is his name?
Speaker 9 (11:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Okay? What are your thoughts on for the how is
he doing? Is is very good?
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Boy?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
This is what I'm trying to do here insight to
kind of restore the false propaganda that we've been fed
because in this site we only hear about the invasion
inside person nineteen seventy four, which is very unjustly happened
and like we're very angry powers.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
So the Turkeys Cypriots.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Do you know him? Do you know him? What is
his name?
Speaker 2 (11:53):
In the Turkey Sypriot community, I only know and they
feed propaganda about what we did to them teen sixty three.
So this is what I'm trying to help with my podcast,
with my videos, for people to know the history. I
don't want them to do anything. I just want them
to know the history. People are waiting here to show
that passport to go to the other side, which.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Is a big problem.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Is Greek Cypriot side?
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Yes, this is Greek's pro send And what.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Is the difference besides the checkpoint? Did the majority of
Turk Cypriots live on that side? In Greek Cypriots here
or is there yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Mixing, No, there's no mixing.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
After entering at checkpoint in the Turkish side of Cyprus
and seeing the Island's division up close. I wanted to
discuss with Fidias his plans to unite the people of
Cyprus and now he intends on changing the way politicians
communicate with the people real quick.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
But I'd be like going down the road, You fucked.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
If you want to support our boots on the ground,

corporate interests along with exclusive DLC content. The YouTube won't

Speaker 2 (13:01):
And I made a polem on my social media side Pruse,
and also I did with my English social media. Three
hundred thousand people voted that they don't want under eighty
percent of them voted again me voting.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
For him, and she still got elected. So with these.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Polls you kind of show that the public opinion it
doesn't be represented in the European Parliament.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Or the other representatives voting in accordance with what their
voters want.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
No, I don't think so, because they are voting what
the party wants.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
In the European Union.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
So people like me mostly because they found me as
their way to save you to the politicians.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
So I took these YouTube concepts to that they are
very like registered to vote.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
But with the YouTube theme traveling across the country.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
You did that as well.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
You want across the country, so you get the YouTube spectacle,
add some political element, get them the right sy you know.
Did you vote for him?
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:57):
What are your thoughts on his job? That's vote for me? Wow,
she knows about thank you do the past?
Speaker 9 (14:04):
Who were in your for anyone in Cyprus from regulation
and you're the past to go more?
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Hi, did you vote for Fidias?
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Are you happy?
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Yeah? Because he thinks also with his heart instead of
his mind. Is a superstar out here.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
I love lo.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Ps may represent a new way for politics. Phidias has
spanned all eight cemographics. Okay, and you have the chocolates
to the children like a pope.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
L it's cringe honesty, Hello Christmas.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Do you think it's possible to stay uncorrupted if you
stay in politics long enough?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I'm very early in this. There's been six months. I
think it's possible. I was making fifty thousand dollars a month.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Before. No, I'm making ten.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
They give you more than ten, but you have to
apply that towards employees office.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Yes, they give you around sixty thousand to mon the budget,
but you can forget eight thousand dollars a month.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Would you say the decision you made me in politics
makes you less money overall?
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Yes, makes me less money, but it's not about the money.
My goal is to learn. So we came close to
the sea because she is a big part of my life.
After high school, I didn't want to university. Everyone needs
to do army here in Cyprus, but I chose to
do the most difficult part of the army, the navy
seal part, which is kind of model after the name
(15:28):
V Seals in the US States. And the success rate
is like only ten percent. So we went one hundred
people and we finished only thirteen.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
I'm trained professional to kill in the water.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Life is amazing when you are not wet and you
are not drowning the water.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
But it built a character for me.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
You guys have the equivalent of Hell week.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yes, we have the equivalent of Hell with its five
days without sleep, torture running. The goal is for them
to try to make you quit and only the strong
ones survived. This helped me in every possible way. Also
in my YouTube Carrier also kind of build the strength
to not give up. And the online bullying and politicians
bullying that I get is like nothing.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
So you are trained to kill? Yes, all right, is
going in? Look at that swan dive for me. He's
going on, he's shaking me. Do you think there he is?
How does it feel? Does it feel amazing?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
We want politicians that they are alive, that are having
fun with don't we? I think I want politicians that
they do these types of things.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Would it be fair to say you don't care what
people think?
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Yes, very fast, But I care.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I want to improve. I don't want to make people angry.
But yeah, I don't really care.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Why you've been successful in life.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
I think that's why I'm successful in life is because
I'm lucky, unfortunate.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Now you're being a politician. You don't think your hard work, don't.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
I don't think we have free will as humans, our DNA,
our environment around. I grew up in a good family.
The circumstances take you to where you go.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
If you're a product of your environment.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Who knows we're all gonna die.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Phidias's refreshingly honest approach to life and fearlessness and being
himself and showing his humanity is probably a big reason
why his country loves and trusts him in office. Phidias's
entire existence is a big fat and middle finger to
the entire political system. You know his name. There we go,
Phidias is back at it. There we go. Level with me.
(17:22):
You've reached a new level of fame out here. People
love you.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
I love them as well.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Did you get at home when he came back from
the Japan incident?
Speaker 3 (17:29):
No, I didn't. But there it stopped me close some
doors for me. Some sponsorships didn't want to come on
the channel.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Getting the European Parliament was the best recovery for from Castella.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
That was a good rebrand and as Phidias is loved
all over Cyprus today. Only about one year ago, Phidias
was on the brink of cancelation and faced the three
month upload band.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
For this and now it's time to teach you how
to get the train for free. So I'm entering the
train and I will find the toilet and go straight
to the toil.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
There's no codds. I came to my destination. Now I
think he's waiting for me outside, and I was right.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
So the only thing I could do is to pretend
that I'm sick.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Pulled up to a local I kid to go all
the way back to the beginning of D's YouTube journey
and when he decided that politics was the career pivot
he needed, you become an a v c O. When
do you come to America? And why tell me about that?
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Then I wanted to become a YouTuber because I was
sitting in my room and I was trying because I
saw mister bas doing all these fun things and also
doing a good business. So I was like, oh, this
is what I want now for my life.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
I was stupid.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
I didn't know English very well, so I was trying
with no success. So I said this, let's move to
the United States and to try to do something with that.
So I moved with a box and I was going
to not stop trying and to give it to Arak
And then I'm had rak he had one million, butack,
then he has I don't know, fifteen twenty something like that.
(19:04):
But I understood I cannot go to mister business too
big to accept me. But Eric was in the Rise
and I liked him, so I wanted to approach him.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
So we did cover these.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Videos fly from Cyprus to La.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Yeah to La and no return together. I just wanted
to pursue my YouTube channel.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
I was when you're in Cypress, do you have a
lady at home?
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:25):
I broke up with my girl to do this. My
parents were a bit shocked to send that, so they
were a bit confused but supportive. I was very shocked.
He met me from the first day to give him
the box, and then he said, what the fuck is
this guy? Because I'm like stupid, weird and makes everyone
uncomfortable when they're.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
It gives me on the cheek earlier, so he's amazed
by you.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
He put me in one video.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
People were asking him put him in more videos and
all this stuff.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
So come naturally, I remember this video.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
So the deal with.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Iraq was I will be for freeing his videos and
I would learn from him. I will be around him
and all the stuff. So it was very cool. This
was a beautiful journey. We grew together the channel pause.
I was with friends with Iraq. Then Iraq became friends
with mister Beast, and then I was hung out with
mister Beas for some times, and then he offered by
(20:15):
himself to put me in one of his videos. I said,
let's do it, and then I ended up like he
put me to put my hand in the Laborghini.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
But he didn't know I.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Was a Navy seal and a psycho path so he
didn't expect for me to win. So I want you
want a Lamborghini, mister Yes, And mister Beas's videos are real.
I started getting subscribers as well because I was making
my own videos in my free.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Time, and you get to what two million subscribers.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Yes, two and a half million subscribers.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
A lot because I feel like we got to contextualize the.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Japan Japanese people officially hate me.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
I was traveling to all these countries in the world
for free. So I was traveling in the United States,
hit shiking and doing all these things. And then I
was traveling to UK. I did this and got a
lot of US. I traveled to India. But in this contest,
when you sning in the train, it's kind of cool.
It's like, oh you snag in the train, WHOA cool?
So it's in this part of the world it's kind
(21:11):
of okase if they get you. The people that checked
the tickets that are like, oh no, they don't think
that you are the most biggest criminal.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
In the in Japan.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
It was a mistake because I didn't understand the culture
that they will receive it so bad. But also it's
like I did. It was a bit extreme, worated, like
the people took me while I was in the trade,
and then she was trying to hold with around. We
kept everything in the video because we want to be
transparent and everything, and people after I approad this video,
(21:43):
it was a huge thing on life.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
So the comments are still just as harsh. Thank you
for leaving the evidence of his criminal records in the internet.
I can't believe. I actually thought Hideous was a good guy,
but he just exposed himself for being a liar and
lost all my respect.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
This I'm selling YouTuber that they talk about drama and
all this stuff, and also news outlet BBC and all
this stuff.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
They said the stupid YouTube.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
They made the people a green Japan because it was
some situations as well before with Johnny Somalley, Logan.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Paul, That's right, this is all happening at the same time.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Led to this.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
For me, I didn't really care. I was very cool
for me. I loved every second of it. That people
were hating me.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Why why Because I'm okay with what I did with myself.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
I do agree with their feedback where you just well.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
I agree, but okay, I snug in the train.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
So what you become infamous at this point?
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Yes, people, it's time that I was not Like.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
I don't come at this from a judgmental perspective because
I get canceled all the time now too. Some call
me Tyler Hitler vera good but I'm not a Nazi.
Japan cancels you the commentary, YouTubers start throwing mud, the
channel gets temporarily banned.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Yes, I couldn't unpload videos for like two.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Or three months.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
That's that's brutal. I cry.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Before that, I was getting millions of us in every video,
and after this, I started getting hundreds of thousands. So
it was kind of a problem on my YouTube career.
But then I wanted to make a video about the
European Parliament. But then I got so sacked in because
when I have a goal, I tried my everything to
achieve it.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Like I forget everything I said, you to everything.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
This is something you thought of years before, Like I'm
gonna run for European No, I just wanted to do
it for a video by Nico Amalano, like how he
ran for London mayor. You're like, I'm gonna do that
here and he got some good votes. You're like, maybe
I could, at the very least beg a good video. Okay,
so you thought zero chance.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
I went, yeah, I broke the word record here in
said of people getting registered to vote. So everyone's so okay,
he's retarded, but he's putting so much effort and and
he's saying the truth and this is not how people
are used to It was kind of a.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Comedy genius in a though, right, these videos.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
That I said, how much parliament members get, Like there's
huge scandals here. They never knew how much these people get.
And now people start to have the right expectations because
they understand what we're doing. And my goal in the
next five years is to elevate society's consciousness to understand
more about this topic, the European urion, how we're doing things,
(24:18):
so they are more educated to decide better in the
future what they want, what they don't want what to
expect from politicians, So I think I'm doing a great
deal of service in a way.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Politics is fine. Maybe you can seem president on my
country at some point.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Do you even run for president.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
When I'm thirty five? I'm allowed, But yeah, why not?
I think I can learn a lot of things and
help the country.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Are you going to come back to YouTube and do
twenty four our challenges?
Speaker 2 (24:42):
It's a bit hard to go back to this, but
I like this world because there's a lot more serious tablers,
a lot more stuff that have I think, higher impact
on society. Doing all this YouTube stuff, it was the
best weapon that they have now to be in this role,
and it's like what makes me unique? I think who
would have thought been a YouTube will lead you help
you be a great politician. I don't know if I'm
(25:03):
a great polician, but definitely gives me a lot of
tools to play with to become a great politician.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Do you think if you were not a YouTuber you
would have been able to win the election like you did?
Speaker 2 (25:11):
No, And I don't think I was going to have
so much leverage here in the Parliament to do stuff
if I was not a YouTuber.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Do you think we'll see more YouTubers become politicians. You've
kind of built a blueprints successfully.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
A lot of YouTubers will become politicians because they are
talking with the people directly. The media that you are
doing now is where people consume that information. So I
think it would be required to be on social media
and be a tick together or a YouTuber to be
a politician.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
In the future.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
I think you're speaking facts.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Maybe in the future it will be only YouTubers being politician.
