Yes, watching at two times speed, skipping around to try and find what you're talking about.
Here's an alternate theory: jesus was a fictional character created by the actual jewish messiah, Josephus, who tricked the Romans into spreading a religion that would teach non-jews to worship jews and thus allow jews to subvert and control the world.
Is the problem. The video states and tries to prove flavius josephus was tasked by the Flavius family with creating Christianity so that it could be spread throughout judeae to remove the rebellious version of the Messiah that the jews currently had in mind. Which means it would have never been spread throughout Rome, as it was designed by Romans for jews. Furthermore, even if the Bible was based on Titus Flavius's military campaign, there's no telling who copied from flavius's works.
This ultimately creates a problem where the inverse is also possibly true. That Vespasian tasked him with writing the story of his son's military conquest of judeae, heavily embellished to improve his prestige. With the life and actions of Jesus still being fresh in the minds of everyone living in that region, and possibly wanting to remove that memory by overwriting it with Titus' campaign. Flavius josephus made sure Titus' campaign followed the exact same path and steps.
The only way to discredit that possibility is using other non jewish sources from the era to ensure that the path and actions Titus took were the same that josephus wrote about.
Apologies in advance if I got Vespasian and Titus mixed up at any point. Vespasian was in charge of the siege but left his son Titus in charge when he went to deal with Egypt. Vespasian was the owner, and later patron of flavius josephus.
