Wonderful to see the video returning, Dave! One thing about the writer's strike and your disdain regarding the WGA in particular, I was just watching an Australian TV series called Mr Inbetween (on Hulu) that is highly regarded by critics. There are three seasons, 26 episodes in total, and a grand total of two creative figures making the whole series: one person directing every episode, and one person (who is also the lead actor) writing every episode. Literally no other credits apart from those two guys. And guess what? The series is coherent, compelling and entertaining. That made me think about all the best TV series I've seen of late from Hollywood, such as True Detective, The White Lotus, and a couple others, and again: typical one, maybe two, writers and directors. The absolutely shit and derivative TV is almost always by-committee filmmaking. Check out the credits on any Netflix or Amazon TV series these days (that sucks) and you'll see for 10 episodes they'll have something like 15 - 20 writers working on these and at least a three or four directors. How can you expect to make quality TV with so many voices? I wonder how many of those writers are, as you say, DEI hires -- a lot, I suspect.
Dave: if I can work a question into this topic, and you can save this for October's movie Q&A if you wish: do you believe high art (yes, even the cinematic arts in Hollywood) is achieved when there is one (maybe two, i.e. Cohen Bros) people making the creative decisions? I'm struggling to think of great films or TV shows where you cannot point to one singular voice as its author -- but perhaps you might have an example of a genuinely great work made by committee.
Your point is 100% valid. In the UK, it's simply the norm that shows have only one to two authors for the entire run. And that's it. The shows have fewer episodes per season (it's hard to crank out 32 eps in 6 months when it's just one or two writers), and each show is of MUCH higher quality. And as much as I'd like to blame the U.S. plethora of "committee" writing rooms on DEI, the truth is, it became the norm at the dawn of syndication, when networks wanted huge packages of shows to sell in the (then) lucrative syndication market. So "writing by committee" became unavoidable. In theory, it's not as needed now, with streaming, but yeah, by now, DEI has become a force. But it was syndication that birthed the beast.
Great job as usual. I have a depressing anecdote to share that sums up everything going on right now: I was on a Metro North train going to NYC and noticed after they hit a certain point (right before getting to White Plains) the conductor went around locking the bathrooms. I asked if it was because they were out of order and was informed it was actually a newly introduced attempt to prevent fare beating. People would constantly go into the bathroom and stay in there until they reached their stop and White Plains just happens to be where the population becomes (how can I put it) more diverse. It's a small thing but it's a reminder that we now live in an extremely low trust society.
It's amazing, Mike, if you stop to think of how many people in times past labored physically and mentally to build us cities that in theory should be functioning great with every modern convenience, and now all of it is held hostage by a small number of folks who turn everything to crap and ruin it for the rest of us.
Metal fans do punk fans one worse. They won’t necessarily deny a band is metal, unless it’s too mainstream popular (You like Queensryche? Katy Perry is too hardcore for you?), but they have to subcategorize it to death — that’s not metal, it’s Klezmer Pirate Fusion Metal, or that’s Post-Malthusian Funtime Funeral Metal, and the like
Happy Birthday and welcome back! Do you think reparations and tranny mania have replaced abortion and gay marriage, as the Democrat's new divisive issue?
After all these years, I'm still concerened about your toilet. Did you ever get it to flush properly? I lay awake in bed at night thinking about it. Can you hire a Mexican bean to be on standby with a bucket of water?
Thank you for your concern! And miraculously, the toilet literally healed itself several years ago. I have NO idea how. Day after day I'd snake it, and talk to it, and caress it. Nothing, Then one day it just started working again, and it's been good ever since. That's why I hate that asshole sink. I TRIED talking to it. And even PLEADING with it. Nada. My toilet and I are pals. That sink? My mortal foe.
Do you wonder why the home assessor made such a cursory inspection? He was probably distracting you while his partner was poking around for your tooth collection
LOL!!!! Whereas an insurance appraiser needs to poke around every crevice to make sure there's nothing that might cost the company in claims (because they're insuring the house, not the soil), an appraiser who's merely attempting to affirm the value of the property just needs to confirm that the property boundaries are as claimed (because in terms of what the property is worth when I die, it's the land not the house that matters).
Okay, full disclosure, the teeth repository adds to the value of the soil by adding calcium. DON'T let that get out, or I'll have an army of deniers dressed like old prospectors digging the place up.
I was wondering why not write for Ron Unz to pad your income? I know you've explained why you disagree with him, but still, maybe you could work something out. I'd think he would be pleased to publish someone who actually has a functioning cerebral cortex.
I don't read his Jewish/Holocaust stuff because I'm not interested in all that, but, having glanced at it, I get the drift and can see why Jews would be peeved by it. My European ancestors are largely Anabaptist Germans, who were pronounce anathema by the Catholic Church, hunted down and burned alive, so they bolted out of Germany running fast, breathing hard and sweating copious; and French Huguenots, who were massacred and persecuted by the Catholic Church, so they sprinted out of France running fast, breathing hard and sweating copious; and English Quakers, who were beaten, jailed, hanged and hounded by the Church of England, so they scrammed out of England running fast, breathing hard and sweating copious. So it doesn't surprise me that the Jews got the same sort of treatment. It would only surprise me if they didn't.
I guess my equivalent disagreement with Ron Unz would be his treatment of the unreturned PoWs of the Viet-Nam War and his use of that subject to cudgel John McCain, especially Unz's assertion that he was uncovering new and suppressed information when, in fact, the whole story had long been known in great detail, and, among other things, a very good book about it, Kiss the Boys Good-bye, was published decades before Unz turned to the subject.
We in that community who actually knew the PoWs or their families had been the ones keeping the story alive and hounding the government for answers. I personally wore the PoW bracelet for Capt. Harley Hall, who was a friend of my father. The PoW bracelet was created by Carol Brown and Kay Hunter. The PoW flag, which our house flew, was created by Mary Hoff of the National League of Families of American Prisoners and Missing in Southeast Asia, founded by Sybil Stockdale.
I mention these women because in those TUR threads the "Men of Unz" declared that the wives, daughters, mothers and sisters of the PoWs didn't care what had happened to them, an ignorant and outrageous lie.
Anyway, I was quite offended by the way Ron Unz treated that subject and the ignorant, stupid and disgusting comments his articles generated, so I can understand, I think, how you could feel about his treatment of the Holocaust.

Finally!
What present better than seeing and hearing you, Dave?
I'm glad that you finally posted a new video.
I enjoyed it immensely.
Hope to see you in October or perhaps even sooner. (Looking forward to your wonderful responses.)
Take care, sir.
Thank you my friend! I'll likely do another video in September. But I'm saving ALL movie stuff for October!

That figures...
RHYMES with figures, depending on where you’re from
😂 Naughty.
Dave you just made my day!! so glad to see you! Happy belated!
Questions for next time:
1) did you become a Mossad asset from your mother or father’s side?
2) How did you manage to infiltrate and then destroy the revisionist movement from within?
3) same question but for FOA.
4) do you reckon we’ll get Fuentes as American Fuhrer in2028, or will the White Genocide Act of 2025 take care of that?
5) off-topic, but do you think Ben Shapiro has any staying power? I feel like the Daily Wire has peaked.

LOL!!!!
Queensryche is my sekkint-favorite reich
Thanks for the entertaining video and for mentioning altcensored.com
It is great to watch some of your old YouTube videos that the fuckers tried to obliterate.
Here's the link to your videos: https://altcensored.com/search?q=david+cole
Happy Birthday and welcome back! Do you think reparations and tranny mania have replaced abortion and gay marriage, as the Democrat's new divisive issue?
Thanks! I'll answer that in the next video!
Shoot up a Dollar General!? Try that in a fast car north of Richmond!
Happy Birthday my friend and many more on channel 4 ...
Thank you, Franklin! Much appreciated!
Festivus came early this year bros.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you
Okay, full disclosure, the teeth repository adds to the value of the soil by adding calcium. DON'T let that get out, or I'll have an army of deniers dressed like old prospectors digging the place up.
Finally, the truth from you. It was like pulling teeth!
Anyway, your secret is safe with me. Mum’s the word

Well, I ramble. Sorry.
Glad to see you back making videos!
Thanks for answering my question!
My pleasure!
