0:00 what if like go to how do you want to go to theung with no explanation but but it's like what if I sold it to you like Yo dude like you'll pay for it I'm no I'm like the prince of Burma foreign exchange student comes with some Missouri kids and he's like hey let's go through the like who the you man got my face [Music] boy all right so I didn't know this but did you guys know that recently there was a coup that was thrown that actually became or failed it was an attempt to overthrow a president of the Republic of Congo a Congo I heard about this and then um are we going to talk about his kids about the whose kids so the guys that were trying to do the
0:50 coup okay that's okay yeah so basically um a British plumber and three Americans have been sentenced to death telling us what the British guy did not the American were they all the the Americans are students yeah have been sentenced to death by a congales AR uh military court for their part in a bungled it sounds like a joke so a British plumber and three Americans go to Congo they Tred to do a coup to overthrow the country's president Yousef isangi is a British citizen of congales origin who worked as a plumber in London was among 37 defendants to receive the death penalty on Friday isangi was alleged to have been a recruiter for Christian Malanga The Man Behind the uprising who styled himself as ruler in Exile of the Democratic Republic of Congo Tyler Thompson Marcel
1:43 manga and Christian son uh or Christian son and Benjamin Zan Pon nailed it as Steve would say were the American senten Christian manga died during the field Uprising on May 19 wait so this guy was born in the Congo he convinced a bunch of dumb people in the United king that he was an exiled ruler of the Congo they went over there with him and they tried to form a coup and Americans ████ idiot this guy good so he started a whole ass cult the guys that started the coup are the military faction of this country just like every other coup right that so there was like a military official and then um the story is for the Americans it's pretty interesting so they they went to a university in Utah together and then the son of the general
2:35 went to there studied abroad and he had a couple of friends and the story behind it is hey we're going to go visit my family in Congo you want to go and then so his friend's like oh bro yeah let's go they look like regular Frat Boys and then so they go over there and apparently this their their story is that when we showed up there was just a bunch of dudes with guns they threw us a gun and then all of a sudden we're storming the capital but they said the guy's father had like put guns in their hands and like yo like like we're about to get ready you're about to die if you don't listen to everything I say so like let's go so they just got thrown into some situation where they were armed and then had to do something otherwise they would die sounds like a national Lampo movie huh that's ████ crazy and then so they get there and the attempt is failed so then the congales government
3:26 grabs them up and says all right you guys were a part of this and then the American kids are like we had no idea what the ████ is a DI Congo a place that people normally just visit Congo is notoriously known for like Warlords running the whole country saying is this like a place where if someone convinces you to go there with them are you the idiot yeah also that would just have never happened cuz it doesn't sound like a place like if someone's like hey you want to go to Paris Disney like yeah ████ yeah but then okay so but what if what if I was like go to with no explanation but but it's like what if I sold it to you like yo dud like you'll pay for it I'm no I'm like the prince of Burma straight my dad is the general dude it it's so sick you got to go you got to check it out we have all this
4:17 ████ we live in here and then and then you don't know anything about the country but these things seem so easy to verify using basic internet some people just take your word for it right holy ████ dude this what never happened in Missouri foreign exchange student comes with some Missouri kids and he's like hey let's go through the like who the ████ are you man the ████ out my face boy it's bad over there guys but you would have been alive still yeah cuz the guys in Utah look like some regular Mormon kids that sucks oh so they were probably all so they they were yeah maybe they probably were just like yeah I'll go to Congo yeah dude sure it sounds radical that's what sounds crazy to me no they just look like regular hipster ass dudes they were found guilty of criminal conspiracy terrorism and other charges and sentenced to death in a ruling read out loud on live TV damn weapons drones and flags used in the
5:08 Escapade were laid out in the court manga earlier told the court that his father had threatened to kill him unless he joined the Insurrection at least six people died during the bungled coup attempt involving an attack on the home of the Finance Minister and the storming of the pales dean nation which houses the president's offices the court was shown video of manga and Thompson age 21 best friends since their school days in Utah armed with assault rifles wearing tactical vests and clutching flags of Z Zer the country's name under the former dictator um chanting about the end of President the president's rule current president manga told the court he had never been to the DRC before the trip and had no idea what was planned dad had threatened to kill us if we did not follow his orders he said Thompson whose parents believed he had been invited on uh his first foreign trip by his best friend's father to map gold mines said that he had no choice once he arrived
5:58 but to join the ragtag militia this is a photo of them sitting in this military Court dude you know what would be genius let's see this photo so what if dude what if the general was like telling his son to go bring his American friends because as an insurance cuz if we get caught then America has to get involved yeah probably I don't think the congales government will kill an American and if they do oh oh ████ dude can you imagine what will happen you don't think they're going to kill this guy well it senten him to death that's in that isn't he already dead basically well the fact that they try to commit a coup that's a big deal ain't it can can America they just got their sentences yeah they're going to die on live TV but
6:48 what you're saying is is very wouldn't America go in and ████ them up now America might be like we Ain touching this one that's going to be different it looks like they they would have done that by now yeah I wonder how they get down with the death penalty over there like is it like firing squad or yeah it's probably firing squad huh what do you think there any details beheading beheading would be ████ insane it's a lot of heads 37 of them that's a lot of heads dude is 37 people like has there been successful coups that were run by that many people that feels low like you feel like you would need at least a 100 or a, people right well I guess it also depends cuz like we we talked about like really really small tactical special ops teams that go in and like overthrow government and then just replace them with like a but that's
7:38 on our side that's these guys yeah only us Americans can do that these guys are just mining for gold you know they're not they're not tactical soldiers they're just looking at M even that sounds so shady like hey you want to come to the Congo to go mine some gold that feels like that feels like an email where it's like hello I am in prison and I have $2 billion and just send me all your information yeah dude I'll take you the gold mines I swear I'm good for it what if what if they were actually okay with the plan cuz they're like dude we're going to be freaking taking over a country let's go and then they they use this as an alibi like oh we didn't know I thought we were doing gold mines no if I sent his death I'd be lying too bro I'd be lying about everything here here's the crazy part so so he had said that uh the Thompson he said that Christian had woke us up in the middle of the night dressed in military uniform with a gun around his waist and said the
8:29 military will arrive here shortly the only thing he told me is that I must do everything as he says or I will die or else I will die and also in Salt Lake City several former football teammates of Malanga and Thompson told reporters that they had been offered up to $100,000 by manga for a security job in the DRC and Thompson was the only taker oh oh so he kind of knew so the parents thought it was a map in gold mines type ████ whereas everybody on that football team was offered 100,000 to do a security job yeah wow and Thompson was down to take it as all so okay y that makes a lot more sense so that they kind of had what's coming to him then but then he still got duped cuz the security job is different it's like hey you're ain't no security you're securing a oil field versus like okay we're doing a
9:20 coup like how much do you think he would sign up if it was a coup I don't think he would sign but I think like but when he put 100 G's with security job that sounds like mil me a college cuz you know every football player is a ████ security outside of a bar in college you know I'm sure he was like oh hell yeah you guys are staying here I'm going to get 100K the strategy gets a little bit more uh into what you're talking about with having a white guy too uh prosecutor said isangi age 53 was a recruiter he met Christian manga in London in 2016 and traveled with him to Africa on several occasions Zan Poland age 36 a longtime business partner of Christian manga said he had been kidnapped in order to take part I met manga in 2013 he told the court we always had relationships based on mining activities in Swaziland and mo mosm Beque he had never been so violent many of the congales hired for the power grab
10:10 claimed they had been duped into believing they were working for an NGO run by Christian manga who had combined his political Ambitions with a career in selling used cars in Utah and having white colleagues from America made the story more believable damn jeez that's crazy so like yeah they they were duping people into throwing a coup got them over there threw guns in their hands said the military is coming you're going to die unless you go maybe that's why they failed cuz they're like hey man we don't want to ████ shoot we we we're not a part of this they're not actual radicals and stuff yeah that's crazy all the defendants had denied all charges and the lawyers are expected to appeal representatives from the American and British diplomatic missions were present in court during the hearing the American defendants were handed burgers and chips by Consular or staff paid for with funds sent by their families hopefully it's in and out maybe it's in and out cuz they're like let's get them some food
11:01 that they're comfortable with that's that's so hospitable damn that's crazy I do want what do what do Americans eat executions were give give them a hamburger they eat hamburgers and Fries just can't believe like man that's hospitable dude pay to be skeptic man that's some to fall for ████ like that you end up in a coup what the ████
