Thank you so much for this vid Charlie! And many thanks to everyone for all their support. Hopefully we'll find out exactly what happened soon so we can get back to work.

We love you Jordies❤

Bumping this DOUBLE UP BOYS

Love over hate ❤❤❤❤ corruption will never hide from the will of the people

N.I.C.E

Jordan thanks to you mate for everything you have done for aus

As an Aussie I'm so glad you feature Friendly Jordies. He's a national treasure here and what happened to him is reprehensible and un-Australian. The arson attack has made Jordies and his supporters stand stronger together in solidarity against the systemic exploitation of Australia and its citizens.

My understanding of Australia's tyrannical government and mostly left-leaning population seems totally Australian. This type of abhorrent behavior is on brand.

@@Clipcasting not sure what you think tyrannical means I would give you some things are over done like the rules around pool fencing can be really over the top but hardly tyrannical

​@@Clipcasting your understanding is American isn't it

@Meme Cream well, you're gonna be quite surprised when you learn which party he dislikes & which he prefers...

As an Australian I'm concerned about how little we have heard about this over the past 2 weeks. I only hope its because the NSW police are actually doing their jobs.

they never do mate

you know they wont

There are a ton of bad cops in Sydney. But there are also some really good ones. It sounds like he talked to a good one, from what he said. Time will tell though.

@@angelatkins4330 I doubt it. He was in a different city, doing a standup gig, at the time of the first firebombing.

Good on you. Nowhere near enough Aussies are outraged about this. Jordies and his team is out working the entire mainstream media on effective journalism. They deserve to be protected and rewarded for their commitment.

How can you be outraged if you don't know about it? Murdoch has hidden it well.

@@justinbell4844 Yea heaven forbid Murdoch publications acknowledge the radicalisation they foment.

Actually, you'd be surprised just how many of is ARE supporting him, AND what he stands for! 🇦🇺

It's scary to think what happens to people who choose to courageously step up and speak out. Thanks for bringing this to an international audience Charlie.

AND YOU TOO DAVID. FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT BROTHER

David you are a legend

It's impressive how scummy those reporters are. He calls them out for defaming his character, and they don't even flinch. They are absolute slime.

Whaaaaat? I respect the reporters shown in the press conference for at least the thing you’re falsely slagging. It’s good they weren’t arguing and let him say his piece. Listening isn’t being slime.

@@skarloeythomas5172 I think you’re not quite understanding the situation. The guy being interviewed who was also firebombed has a history of having his local television and print news outlets paint him in a bad light in articles while he’s attempting to expose corruption happening in local government (I’m not Australian so I may have gotten a few details wrong). While those specific reporters on the scene were acting professionally in the short clip, they also work for the same news agencies he has a gripe with so that’s why neither him nor the commenter above are making a distinction and labeling them all as “scum bags” and “vultures”. Hope that clears it up.

@@SmokeyChipOatley you are exactly correct. Those same reporters are the ones who wrote terrible articles around him.

Nice coverage, it's pretty insane how he's been treated.

DONT READ MY PROFILE PICTURE

never thought i’d see you here

Hi LIMC

As an Aussie. Jordies is a national treasure. I am horrified this happened to him. My money is on ClubsNSW putting out the “hit”. They’ve got a history of intimidation and acting like bloody mobsters.

Not the actual mobsters bruz worked for? Lmao

@@rasputin2k851 possibly goons sent by Justin Hemms as well. He did a real scathing video on Hemms

thankyou for shining a spotlight on this great man. hes been fighting the good fight in Australia for years.

Yup, Jordie is a legend 🧐🤙🏽

Still wont change a thing

@@organicspecialsauce9504 could say the same thing to him

You’re exactly correct. Journalists have become corrupt. Depending on who hires them the Journalist has to push their employers narrative or risk losing their job. There are some independent journalists and I can’t stress enough that if anyone appreciates and listens to one. We all need to support them and tune off the MSM.

Nevvvveerr. Media? Corrupt? Spreading straight biased propaganda? Never😂

There was a time when journalists were advertising colonial products as a good thing so I mean

As an Australian, I'm very happy to see your shining a light on this. Jordies is an excellent reporter with no fear. Hopefully with all the support he'll continue.

As an Australian, I love that you are showing support for Jordan, Charlie! Thank You x

The fact that people have to risk their lives just to report accurate information is really scary

What do you expect? Look at how people treat others who disagree with them on twitter.

@@ngonzales3781 it's just disheartening that people get killed over people who are greedy..

@@ngonzales3781 people cannot disagree and go their separate ways 🤦🏽‍♂️

FriendlyJordies is a fucking hero, exposing political and media corruption in Australia, hes pretty much single handedly fighting back against the media that's all owned by the billionaires in Australia.

This means alot dude because now jordies is gonna have even more people rallying behind him

Thanks for sharing this man, I'm Australian and sick of seeing all of the bullshit that goes on here and no one caring. Much love everyone

friendlyjordies is the most reputable journalist we have in Aus. He's a national treasure.

Thanks for drawing attention to this situation, Charlie. Jordan is a god damn national treasure and we must protect him at all cost. His work has helped Australia in more ways than people probably realise.

As an Aussie, really appreciate you amplifying this story internationally, our own country has only barely covered it

Agreed man it pisses me off every video I see of channel 7, 9, 10 and others defending John barilaro who is under investigation for corruption. It's a joke

And half the channels are down playing it, refusing to acknowledge the straight up assassination and the short list of possible suspects. Thank fuck the police atleast is taking it seriously.

For real, the media and the government is against Jordan but I'm glad Charlie's covering it, Jordan deserves more coverage for this.

Absolutely! Jordies has done so much to help Australia and the world needs to know that they are trying to silence him.

As an Australian I'm glad that friendlyjordies is finally getting the attention that he needs he is probably our best journalist

Up there along with Michael West

Jordies does Australia proud!!! awesome that this has got the coverage it has and to see fellow Youtubers around the globe backing him. We demand justice!

You know you’re a good journalist when the government hates you

I remember seeing this on the 7 o’clock he’s an absolute hero and doesn’t deserve any of this shit he’s copped

The irony of the firebombing is that it's only going to make people look more and make things seem more suspicious

Which is exactly why he firebombed himmself

@@angelatkins4330 Gambling lobby puppet

@@tacky4237 wtf is lobby?

@@angelatkins4330 gambling lobby puppet

Thank you on behalf of all of us Australians for covering this mate. FriendlyJordies is a legend, and the disgusting actions that politicians and corporations have made against him for shining a light on corruption paints a very scary picture of the country we live in.

@@DONT_READ_MY_PROFILE_PICTURE- ok

Damn bots chill

I never heard of him until now.

Jordan is one of the most admirable YouTubers on the platform, glad you’re featured him on the channel and brought more light to his situation

Along with MrBeast

Very important to add that the stalking charge was against Jordan's assistant because he approached the then previous premier with court papers that had to be delivered to the previous premier, said premier then went directly to the department of terrorism and had them arrest the assistant.

It’s not the department of terrorism. It’s the police department, and it’s just a unit.

@@skarloeythomas5172 I say Department of terrorism because its the fixated persons investigations unit which is the unit that manages terrorism related crimes, they may not be called exactly what i said but that is exactly what they are.

Thank you for giving this international recognition. Corruption in NSW is getting out of control and we need more people like Friendly Jordies to expose it

Our guy Jordan Shanks, thank you so much for talking about our Australian hero 🥹😍 He deserves the good publicity. Hes taking down corruption in the Australian political system and making our country so much better. Thank you for this video ❤️

I saw his live show earlier this year and he's under a real threat of being sent to prison for his reporting. Short of wearing shirts with cross-hairs on the back, he's the ballsiest dude in the land.

As an Australian, I really appreciate you spreading the word

Damn bots

Bots are too excited about this

Blokes got the biggest balls in Australia, the people are behind you Jordie!

As an Aussie, im pretty suprised that this happened, huge respect to jordies for his work

Thanks for covering this. Friendlyjordies is one of the most valuable political channels that Australia has to date.

glad you're giving jordies some attention and respect. This guy needs backup, he's going above and beyond to fight corruption and shady politics in Aus. His voice is silenced everyday, he's also a decent comedian. Someone pay him a bag to tour the US

Get him on JRE

I've been watching jordie for so many years, it's honestly heartbreaking to see what his honest work has led to.

Can’t express how important it is for stories like this to be covered by YouTubers with such a huge international reach Things like this can’t be ignored

@Patrick39 NO YOUR PATRICK

@Patrick39 everyone, always report this guys comment when you see it

they can't be ignored yet no one will ever actually do anything. Nothing will change and nothing ever does change.

Corruption in Australia is actually pretty insane ... Goes deep

All the way back to the troopers and squatters. 30 years ago they would just make you disappear, lots of abandoned mineshafts out there, plenty of concrete foundations being made. Don't peer into a minister's business.

Jordan and his team are amazing. Thank you for bringing his story to your audience Charlie.

This is outrageous! I hope the criminals are arrested. Please stay safe Jordan.

They won't be. The system has failed.

It's pretty unlikely they will be, tbh

As an Aussie kid that learned about the corruption within our government thanks to jordies,I’m so glad of Charlie covering this cause the media is trying to cover it all up

As an Aussie I thank you for covering this. You only need to look at how Australian whistle blowers are treated to see why friendlyjordies life is in danger. If you expose corruption here you get a very blatant target on your head

Jordies is the biggest public journalist stopping the rampant corruption in Australia. And the fact so many powerful people hate him and fear him shows he's doing the right thing. And the fact he can do such dangerous reporting while still managing to put a comedic and entertaining spin on it is both commendable and extremely valuable to capture peoples attention in the age of the internet. Thanks for covering this

YILMAZ

@Patrick39 facts

@@gameoverwehaveeverypixelco1258 you’re brainwashed 🤣

Aussie here. Thank you Charlie for shedding light onto something that usually gets swept under the rug. Absolutely amazing to see something that I wouldn’t expect mainstream attention from someone with so much reach. Jordan has been putting himself in the line of fire for spreading the truth for many years, that bloke deserves all the best.

Good to see you're covering this, been living in Aus for 5 years. Jordan has been shaking the beehives for awhile now. We need more like him.

I love jordies and this was heartbreaking. he is a national treasure in the land down under.

Thanks for giving coverage to this terrifying attack on an important Aussie investigative journalist. Great job at getting a good understanding of everything that has been going on and trying to explain it all to your audience.

Yes thank you Charlie for covering this! Without this kind of support we feel so helpless down under, jordies is one of the only true journos we have. The world needs to know this, you alone have more reach and are more powerful than most press and media outlets in Australia.

As an Aussie, I'm so grateful to you international YouTubers who are covering this incident. FJ is an Aussie legend and him and his crew have exposed so much corruption to us that no media source would ever choose to cover. Thank you.

Who other international YouTubers are covering this? Would like to see their videos as well.

@@stevehampton5030 pyrocynical

Think maybe you guys can form a discord group and rally locals to take action? This is people’s lives you could be saving, not to mention the right to speak truth to power.

@@ziggykatz12 Propaganda is an extremely powerful thing. Many Australians wouldn't listen because they have been so indoctrinated by the government and press. Australian press is funded by the government, especially the conservative government, so they exclusively cover things and make stories that will make the conservative government look better.

Thank you so much for covering this, this was a story I found a few days ago and you talking about this is going to expose it to a much larger audience. The more people who understand the dangers of Free Journalism the better, because Jordies is one of the bravest people I've ever seen.

Good on ya Charlie for showing support for this fellow Aussie. The media is much the same here as is over in the States - full of creepy peeps.

So glad Geordies is getting love from the biggest platforms! As an Aussie this needs to be front and centre of all our attention

Thank you for giving this incident more viewers. As an Australian myself its great to see the attention and solidarity this is getting from the international community is nothing short of awesome.

Incredibly happy to see international coverage of this situation from large content creators like Charlie. The more we can bring light to the corruption the better.

You know it's sad when Jordies gets more fair coverage from American youtubers than our own media outlets, really shows how accurate his points about them are. Hope he comes back swinging even harder.

thats because jordy attacks their sponsors interests while attempting to expose corruption. Our countries news sees him as a threat while everyone else who has heard of his great work sees him as a hero. he tells the stories exactly how it is, without altering it to suit his interests.

I hate to say it, but id personally be surprised if he actually did something of value. He is likely to die or be suppressed and forgotten.

Cos he’s a real one and the garbage aus media is trying to keep him silent but never playing anything about him

I feel the same way about Sky News Live in Australia regarding news here.

Thanks for covering this Charlie- myself and all the other Aussies here have seen his work over the last decade and he has exposed so much corruption of the highest order. I even got to meet him in Brisbane!! Such a lovely and sweet dude

I've been a fan of Jordies since Yilmaz and this is the first time something this serious has happened to him, not including what happened with Kristo, his producer like you mentioned

if you're not subbed to Friendjordies then do so now..... his work is changing our country for the better and it helps more than you know!

Thank you for covering this! He really deserves a lot of support and coverage.

Small note, the arrest on his producer was because we went up to John Barilaro (former NSW premier) and asked him a question. This was the "stalking"... on a public figure, insane. I love being Aussie but our country is full of filth.

from an aussie whos been following jordies for what seems like 10 years now i thank you for giving this some spotlight, he's one of the only people standing up to corruption here in AUS

way more people need to get on and start shining light on this to help with their safety tbh, trending on twitter or articles about it could help make any group who might want to do harm hesitant with so many eyes

its kinda silly to do what hes doing its all corrupt, entirely, throughly he does it because he wants to, he knows that it will never quite fix anything. maybe he havent quite understood how deep all of this goes yet. major honor on him anyhow

@@WeebRemover4500 if he gets more people voting labour than liberal then he’s doing something against corruption.

if Jordan ever needs a place to stay, he can crash at my house whenever he likes for as long as he likes

I think a big issue with the reputation of “journalists” worsening is that the general public’s level of media literacy is so mind boggling-ly low that so many people get their information from people that really shouldn’t fall into the category.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Charlie. I didn't know about any of this, and I don't think many of us outside of Australia did.

As an Aussie, friendlyjordies is a national treasure imo. Jordan Shanks is super important in the Australian journalistic space. I'm beyond angry about the shit that's happened to him.

Thank you, as an Aussie, I appreciate you bringing attention to the situation.

I cant tell you how happy I am to see Charlie talking about Jordies' work

As an Australian this is a crossover I never expected but am so grateful for. Thanks for spreading the message

DONT READ MY PROFILE PICTURE

They got a podcast or two together

how did you not expect him to talk about another youtuber? it doesnt matter if its australia or in antarctica its a youtuber

ditto

@@exoticolors9953 well that was dumb

Thankyou so much for focusing on this, Friendly Jordies and his team are amazing people and dont back down. Love your work mate!

Thanks for doing this man, as a follower of Jordies for a decade he along with a couple of others are true journalists in Australia. We all want him and his team safe.

Thanks for covering this mate! Appreciate the extra attention on this. Jordies is risking everything just to get the truth out. Isn't it sad that our best journo, the one that actually reports on proper facts and the real issues, is a youtuber. The murdoch media runs deep in Aus but we're trying to get his shit out of the country

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COVERING THIS. Jordan and his team are literally some the very few and only journalists FIGHTING corruption in our country

THANK U SO MUCH FOR BRINGING THIS TO LIGHT MAN. FRIENDLY JORDIES HAS FOR A LONG TIME BEEN AN AMAZING CONTENTENT CREATOR, COMEDIAN AND JOURNALISM

Thanks for amplifying this.

Didn't expect to see you here but hell yeah

Ayy it’s my boi! Good comment though.

Oh damn I didn’t know you watched moist man but aight Love ur DF analysis videos

Be safe out there, Liam.

Go checkout “young Usopp” on YouTube you’ll like his content a lot dude in a room

I keep watching you for stuff like this, the only choice you have with how successful you have become is to either let it get to ur head or use it for good. You are genuinely helping people so much and I’m sure you know that but u also are so funny, and care free and I’m just so happy people like u exist there is hope!

This is the kind of thing that I THOUGHT only happened in movies and video games.... that's terrifying

On behalf of being an Aussie, cheers for this king 👑

"They gambled on a 50/50 and lost. Kinda when you gamble on a fart and shit your pants" Only Charlie can come up with stuff like this. I fucking love it.

The fact that I live in Australia and haven't heard anything about this on official news channels proves friendlyJordies right

As an Aussie myself, I can appreciate this story being spread further across the globe. Big Thumbs Up 👍

You said it mate, everyone needs to share this, maybe then we'll get the change we need

Same.... I'm so proud Jordies resonates this well ..... Oi

Same I'm so glad Charlie has spread the word

That said - an an Aussie myself, it's insane how much media attention this received OUTSIDE of Australia compared to inside.

@@TheOneMiffy92 legit aye, saw more of this shit get spread in America. Half my mates know bugger all about the whole situation. Given the calibre of the whole story you'd reckon it would be common knowledge.

Thank you for covering this, the media here in Australia at most had 90 second segments that SAID HIS FUCKING ADDRESS and down played everything. He has a patreon and legal defense fund if anyone wants to support 👌✨️

Good job on bringing this to the global level Charlie. Absolutely shocking.

As an Australian, thank you for promoting this story. I hate to see Jordan being treated this way. The government needs people criticising it for its instances of corruption and bad practice, and for something like this to happen for his reporting is absolutely reprehensible behaviour to see in what I hold to be one of the greatest democracies in the world.

Thankyou for covering this. Friendlyjordies' channel is an excellent resource about corruption in New South Wales, and our media landscape currently requires this level of international attention and scrutiny due to how they handled this.

Hope he stays safe. This is absolutely horrifying!

What's absolutely shameful in this was that the media showed his address all over the internet. That only puts Jordan's life in even more danger!

Rupert murdoch has a hitlist on this man i stg

To be fair his address had already been leaked by Clubs NSW who put his full address in their court documents...

I’m not sure if he really was racist but if he was then I don’t feel bad

As the biggest friendlyjoedies fan around and an Australian, I just feel so happy this video was made. Thank you Charlie

Thank you so much Charlie for this. It's so important now more than ever for stories like this to be told. People in power trying to silence those that expose them in very scary ways needs to be highlighted! Love your channel, have been a long long time fan.

Thank you so much for covering this. Jordies is celebrates by so many Aussies and journalists are trying to squash him for calling them out. Sub to friendlyjordies 💪

This is just fantastic too see. Your coverage that is..Jordan and his team are absolutely the bravest journos in the country...thanks for the coverage

That jordie guy is a real hero of journalism imo. I wish we had someone brave enough to be of his calibre in the UK.

As an Aussie I'm glad to see other big Youtubers helping to spread more awareness for friendlyjordies plight. Feels like he's the last real journalist left in Australia.

@Patrick39 Press 'X' to doubt:

Michael West is pretty good too

yeah holy crap never would have expected moist to cover an incident going on with a niche aussie youtuber

Right! I was watching this on the news yesterday, glad Charlie is on the case. Australia needs people think this especially Sydney.

You're a legend Penquinz for covering this and bringing more attention to it.

Thank you for covering this, great exposure for Jordan. He needs us all behind him!

So glad this is getting international traction. Jordan is a true credit to our country and journalism as a whole

Thank you for covering this Charlie. It’s a scary state of affairs in Australia at the moment

So happy that you are spreading awareness about this situation with Jordie!!

I can’t stress enough how awesome it is that you are covering this story. A case of actual domestic terrorism got literally one short slot of news coverage one night then got buried, so thank you so much for bringing more attention to this.

2:36 the reporting is actually the biggest issue. It got a short time slot one night on the biggest channels which is a good thing, but the very next day it was completely buried by every major news outlet except one, which placed it below seven or eight other puff pieces with a misleading title. This incident needs a lot of coverage, which it isn’t getting by the mainstream media rn.

Just about time we get some of that in this rotting country

@Patrick39 ratio

Friendlyjordies is a Chinese propagandist in Australia. penguinz0 why are you believing his story?🤣🤣 Let me guess you get all your merch from china at a discount price? Is that how they pay you off?🤔

Thankyou for shedding light on this situation, corruption in Australia is already bad and it's getting worse by the day we really need people like friendlyjordies to bring these scumbags into the light and what they're trying to do to him is disgusting

as an australian I have loved jordan and his jounalism for years, so glad this is getting the attention it deserves.. a lot of out politcis are pretty fucked

I applaud him. I do hope he will be safe.
