The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters #1140

00:00:00.000 good afternoon ladies and gentlemen welcome to the podcast the low seas for thursday the 10th

00:00:12.760 of april 2025 i'm joined by stelios and harry hello everyone and today we're going to be talking

00:00:18.460 about trump's controversial tariffs uh how labor are great replacing themselves and what is actually

00:00:26.340 going on with the mass deportations that we've heard so much about before we begin we have calvin

00:00:33.280 robertson's common sense crusade after the show so do go sign up for the website and watch that

00:00:38.320 news and politics from a christian perspective don't ever say i'm not an ally christians because

00:00:42.980 i bloody well am anyway let's get into the uh into the news right so i think that there is zero doubt

00:00:51.420 that the events of the last week have already make hit made history across several areas we've

00:00:58.560 had the economic the political the geopolitical if you like or call it diplomatic and we also have the

00:01:05.940 social and its subfields such as the online spheres so i think that basically these tariffs are going to

00:01:15.680 create ramifications that are going to shake the world for the months and years to come isn't that

00:01:23.460 the point of them well i don't know that's part of the reason why i'm doing this segment okay i have

00:01:30.100 to be honest i don't know but what i do know is that they are going to have effects and um a lot of

00:01:36.960 people are talking about it dan did a brokonomics here on trump's tariffs i think he's going to do more

00:01:43.860 he also had a debate with aa and uh definitely check the brokonomics out and with as little as

00:01:51.960 five pounds a month you can subscribe on our website and aid us on our magnificent mission to

00:01:57.960 tell you the truth about things right so on to our segment so at the moment there is too much noise

00:02:04.960 and everyone's saying what they think about what happens what's going to happen and a lot of people

00:02:12.160 are talking past each other and there are thousands of discussions being had simultaneously because

00:02:18.380 of one thing that's at the core of this uncertainty right so i think that the best thing to do with

00:02:25.020 the segment is to give a sort of timeline or describe some of the major events and some of the weird

00:02:33.900 i'd say reactions to them not all of them look good some of them do not all of them do good but i have

00:02:40.300 to show you both and i'm sure that there will be some comments but i'm sure that we are going to

00:02:46.760 come back to this conversation again right so let's start with what happened now on the 2nd of april trump

00:02:55.140 announced the liberation day tariffs we have here a really good article by center for strategic and

00:03:01.880 international studies they are it's it doesn't scroll down for some reason

00:03:07.180 right they are having some really good graphs here talking about reciprocal tariffs

00:03:15.480 graphs that aren't loading graphs that are loading but i can tell you what they said basically that

00:03:23.060 okay there we go yes thanks to the help

00:03:31.360 right so let's go here they have the prelude to the liberation day the road to april 2 2025 it didn't

00:03:42.400 just happen out of nowhere they're talking primarily about tariffs between the u.s and china and mexico

00:03:49.440 and canada and here we go to the april 2 announcement right so as they say that we had a universal 10%

00:03:59.120 tariff to apply to virtually all u.s imports beginning on april 5 and second beginning april 9

00:04:06.100 the administration will impose country-specific reciprocal tariffs targeted at 57 named countries

00:04:12.540 with rates reaching as high as 50 percent and here they have a really good graph about the reciprocal

00:04:18.820 tariff by trade deficit but something really interesting happened here because although this

00:04:26.520 was communicated in the beginning as reciprocal tariffs there was massive uncertainty and there

00:04:32.460 still is with respect to what these tariffs are and what is its nature now the consensus goes towards

00:04:39.140 the idea that the target is china but the main question was why wasn't why weren't they a bit more

00:04:45.880 targeted now i'll give you a long story short my answer to this what i gather is that this was

00:04:54.100 casting two birds with one stone one was pressuring china the other was getting other allies into the

00:05:01.500 negotiating table and start asking for renegotiating terms of alliance yeah it looks like he's scaring the

00:05:07.980 those yes right we had several interesting ramifications though because markets don't respond well to

00:05:16.640 uncertainty and i know that several people right now on the right have started developing an allergy

00:05:22.740 to markets that's a particularly interesting development i'm one of those that helps i kind

00:05:28.140 hate markets you hate markets no i love markets i understand them don't like them okay i've heard

00:05:35.020 some people say the same about women but on towards what are you suggesting about carl there i'm married

00:05:41.080 so yeah no no no that wasn't that wasn't what i meant right so we have uh benny johnson who reacted to

00:05:48.840 the first news of market going down and he starts with this wonderful video that could someone play

00:05:58.120 please this mouse works thank you

00:06:00.280 this one was turned off let's see benny johnson here

00:06:06.020 losing money costs you nothing well this is just the reality of life you're gonna like were you young

00:06:14.620 young and dumb how much money did you lose everyone loses money everyone loses money

00:06:18.840 it costs you nothing in fact it builds quite a bit of character in fact you learn a lot of lessons

00:06:22.720 actually by losing money losing your character costs you everything losing your country costs you

00:06:27.900 everything there are things you can't get back you can the government can print more money and it will

00:06:33.160 sadly that's just the reality right i'm not so certain that this addresses the american working

00:06:39.260 class i'm i'm sorry but i have to be honest i don't think that losing money is losing one

00:06:44.360 ones and zeros just i mean losing money costs me however much i lost but yeah i think i think he's

00:06:51.620 making a fair point about you know it would be better to lose some money than lose your country

00:06:56.160 yeah or character as he was talking about i don't even dislike benny he seems like a nice enough guy

00:07:02.740 but that's cope yes that spiel he just gave there was cope i absolutely agree with you that losing money

00:07:09.580 is better than losing your country and losing character but the question is whether we are at

00:07:14.840 the moment where this is the dilemma we are faced with or whether this is a tiny bit dramatic

00:07:21.100 right so we have here jack pasobiec saying my own retirement account is down too i don't care

00:07:27.520 the golden age is on the other side this is april 7th i think that's base i agree with that

00:07:31.860 that's why i vote for a bit more i don't care if i'm gonna lose money all in a bit more optimistic

00:07:36.640 that's that that's a fair uh that's a fair assessment but at the same time it's very very

00:07:40.660 easy to say i've lost a load of money i don't care when you already had a load of money to begin with

00:07:45.760 at least he is he does acknowledge that money isn't just digital ones and zeros that cost you nothing

00:07:52.980 right then we have a question that happened why was russia exempted from the tariffs now i think

00:08:00.000 that to a certain extent the answer was a case of a tiny bit of economic not exactly illiteracy but

00:08:07.060 a kind of you know throwing the ball out of the park because hasn't america massively sanctioned

00:08:13.200 russia already yes and they the trump economic advisor kevin has it says that we are in the midst of

00:08:21.600 a negotiation but the point i want to make is that if you tariff the entire world and the entire

00:08:27.000 entire world trades with russia whether to a lesser extent now due to the war or not doesn't matter but

00:08:32.920 they do trade you're actually harming them as well it has secondary consequences and secondary and

00:08:39.940 third order consequences so i can see how this could seem as in taking russia out of the picture

00:08:47.500 but it doesn't entirely take russia out of the picture okay so if russia is using other countries

00:08:53.380 as a third party means of getting their products to us or their resources to us then tariffing

00:08:58.340 those countries means that that yeah it's going down to russia so if i'm tariff if i'm exempted from

00:09:04.500 the tariffs and you are not and you're trading with me and you have less money as a result from those

00:09:10.520 tariffs you have less of disposable income to buy from me so even if i'm not directly targeted

00:09:16.740 i kind of am right so we have here the april 7 beginning of the markets in hong kong taiwan and

00:09:26.480 also europe they're plummeting we see here hong kong minus 13.6 percent taiwan mine minus nine point

00:09:34.900 six percent sweden minus seven percent switzerland minus seven percent china seven percent which i think is

00:09:41.600 the most important uk minus five point two percent so we have people reacting to this and trump wanted

00:09:49.340 to tell people to stop panicking and i will say the word panicking must completely be banned i am

00:09:56.980 i am a free speech advocate but i'd ban the word panic you're not an absolutist anymore after he coined

00:10:03.460 panic and you said absolutism out the window it just has a weird take saying that's what a panic

00:10:08.860 him would say exactly yeah people have quote tweeted me saying exactly then fair point yeah for a man

00:10:18.200 who has been remarked as a master of messaging and rhetoric this is the weakest i've ever seen

00:10:23.760 from him the panic and thing is just cringe but but you know i agree with the general point it's like

00:10:29.780 trump clearly views himself as doing something monumental here and all he's all he's trying to

00:10:36.820 communicate to his bases look trust me on this i know what i'm doing don't panic right and he says

00:10:41.720 greatness will be the result right so he also had another statement on april 7 says the u.s has a

00:10:47.520 chance to do something that should have been that should have been done decades ago don't be weak don't

00:10:52.840 be stupid don't be a panic and greatness will be the result so he definitely does portray himself

00:10:59.980 as restoring a sort of unjust trade injustice yeah but trump trump has been talking about this since

00:11:05.500 the 1980s he has been remarkably consistent he's been unbelievable like there's an interview with

00:11:11.340 him on oprah like in like 1989 or something where he says precisely these things he does say these

00:11:17.100 things but also he has a record of being more focused on negotiation and in some cases if everyone

00:11:25.600 knows your entire philosophy in advance this can't harm you on the negotiation table and that was why

00:11:33.340 there was larger uncertainty than perhaps expected from the markets to the implementation of his

00:11:41.820 tariffs but he has been saying these things but yeah i mean if the goal is to attack essentially the

00:11:48.320 global economic system and remake it in his own image then causing as much uncertainty as possible is

00:11:53.940 actually good for his plan right i will respectfully say that i do not think that this is entirely his

00:12:00.440 plan i know that he is marketing his plan like that but i don't think it's actually his goal but if

00:12:06.060 that's your intent is to i mean i think his goal is to recalibrate the way that international trade is

00:12:11.980 done right yes but the question there are thousands of ways of doing it sure some of which can be conducive

00:12:18.060 to goals such as the goal you mentioned others are not sure but i mean i would expect trump to take

00:12:24.900 the most belligerent one okay most the most blunt tool uh because it's donald trump and i've been

00:12:31.700 following him for quite quite a while now i think that some events happen towards the end and maybe

00:12:36.940 you know we should bear them in mind i guess we'll find out right so we have here representative

00:12:43.020 lauren bobert who says i trust the trump process do not be a panicking be strong courageous and lots

00:12:49.520 of people started playing into that panicking rhetoric right so what happened was china retaliated

00:12:55.780 with 34 percent tariffs then trump says that i'm going to put additional tariffs on them from eight

00:13:03.460 percent and he also said that they're a bit disrespectful to global trade and he also threatened

00:13:10.040 to bring the total tariff level on china's goods up to 104 percent right um just one thing to say it's i

00:13:18.300 think the trade deficit between the u.s and china is somewhere around 270 billion dollars per year

00:13:25.000 so it's it's a significant number let's bear that in mind in perspective right so on monday markets were

00:13:32.560 plummeting but at some point something happened and they started spiking yeah now what was this there was a

00:13:39.180 rumor that a lot of accounts started circulating both from the democrat side and the republican side

00:13:45.740 saying that trump was considering a 90 day pause in tariffs for all countries except china here we have

00:13:54.260 this from brian krasenstein who is from the democrat side he says looks like trump may have realized that

00:14:00.840 this mess is terrible for the economy that the uncertainty will still hurt us as although just that say this

00:14:06.360 this is a tremendous power move from trump right look the entire world is now hanging on rumors of

00:14:12.980 what he may or may not have said i mean i i don't think that this is necessarily an issue of trump i think

00:14:18.040 this has to do with the presidency of the u.s yeah i know because he's the president right so he has to

00:14:22.760 decide and if literally a rumor can be or trump's considering rescinding them oh brilliant the market's

00:14:27.480 back oh no trump said no the market's down again and if everyone like is just waiting for trump to open

00:14:32.580 his mouth and say something that's a tremendous like trump is accruing to himself a huge amount of

00:14:37.920 power in i think that's what the the presidency is supposed to be about yeah no no well i don't know

00:14:43.240 if the presidency is supposed to be that powerful but the point is like trump is wielding this whether

00:14:49.700 you agree with the results or not you know whether you think it was good right now or not trump is

00:14:53.240 actually like he's just pulling on all the reins and it turns out everyone's like oh no i'm getting

00:14:58.320 dragged whether i like it or not right and so now it's just trump making pronouncements like the god

00:15:03.940 emperor of the world and everything moving in quarters it's like you've got to kind of admire

00:15:08.780 that i think we'll also talk about the bond emperor of the world okay yeah in a bit right so the white

00:15:14.280 house uh denied that rumor the 90 day tariff pause they say are false so markets went down again

00:15:20.760 next day just nope see you tomorrow next day find out how things are then we had uh some uh people

00:15:29.200 posting about market going up but the whole day was going down market going down down which one is

00:15:35.960 it it's that's the thing by the end of this they're going to be begging for stability and so they're

00:15:40.420 basically going to take anything trump gives them i think that basically to to cut the long story short

00:15:46.320 i i'm of the opinion that trump caved in when uh when the bond market was i guess we'll find out

00:15:52.920 what he does tomorrow won't we yeah a bit of a volatility right so we have here senators ran paul

00:16:00.240 and ron wyden who teamed up to introduce a resolution to terminate the national emergency underpinning all

00:16:06.000 the tariffs they represent a completely different approach towards trade and the philosophy of trade

00:16:12.000 within the republican party i think you know we we at least need to need to mention it i'm much

00:16:18.760 closer to ran paul than i am to trump on issues of the sort i must say right so trump's here here

00:16:25.340 talking about the countries calling him and kissing his ass and trying to renegotiate with him

00:16:33.600 saying if this isn't working what was the what where's the fail state here like he's got everyone

00:16:39.340 apart from china basically sucking up to him well the eu started uh approving first retaliation

00:16:47.220 uh he was going to against u.s tariffs they have absolutely no spine whatsoever china will probably

00:16:54.280 hold out but these not gonna do anything right so they are you know i'm right you know i'm right

00:16:58.800 what was the other i don't know if you're right what was the thing they did the other day

00:17:01.800 where it was about the was the free speech thing or something with vans and they were talking tough

00:17:06.360 until like five minutes in they were just like okay fine yeah like they they they pretend that

00:17:11.900 they have a spine but they absolutely do not the chinese i believe will have a spine but the europeans

00:17:17.080 absolutely not right and here we have bond chaos in the markets and some really interesting events

00:17:23.800 that unfollowed now what happened is that what's what goes on is that generally speaking bonds are

00:17:29.440 considered to be safe a safe haven during economic uncertainty why because if you if you borrow

00:17:35.500 money from me and i i die you have a problem and good luck getting it from my family but if i'm a state

00:17:44.240 tight purse strings but if but if i'm a state there's no element there's no element of let's say the

00:17:53.940 biological aspect in a state so bond markets are supposed to be safe bonds are supposed to be a

00:18:00.180 safe haven there so the price of the yields of bonds went up which communicated a massive uncertainty

00:18:06.900 into the u.s financial system and i think that basically trump caved in and he announced a

00:18:13.700 90 day pause to the tariffs except china but before he did so and this has caused you know something

00:18:25.220 that doesn't look particularly bad or at least to some people it seems like a kind of market manipulation

00:18:31.380 he started circulating on social on truth social uh now this is the great time to buy yeah

00:18:38.660 and a few hours or minutes depending on which account you you you read he announced the pause

00:18:50.100 and tariffs so the market went up so the people who bought before who had that window of opportunity

00:18:57.540 amassed massive fortunes okay so some people say that this is not a good look at all and so trump's

00:19:04.660 doing in public what nancy pelosi does in private still not a good look at least right so trump here

00:19:15.460 says based on the lack of respect that china has shown to the world's market he's raising the tariff

00:19:21.140 charged to china by the us to 125 but he authorizes a 90 day pause and a substantially lowered reciprocal

00:19:30.340 tariff during this period of 10 also effective immediately thank you for your attention on the

00:19:36.100 matter so this to me looks like divide and rule right this looks very much like he's isolating china

00:19:42.180 because what what i what i mean i'm no expert on this but what what it looks like he's done

00:19:47.380 is that he's essentially just carpet bombed everyone to make everyone pay attention at the beginning so

00:19:52.100 look i'm about to screw everyone so pay attention and then he this causes the markets to go crazy

00:20:00.820 and then a bunch of people come to trump saying look trump actually we'd like to work with you

00:20:04.260 we'd like to be good friends please can you not browbeat us and destroy our economies okay maybe i

00:20:09.700 have no day pause i know that was fake actually it's all back on and actually it's just 125 on china

00:20:16.020 and so the chinese i mean where are their allies who's gone to china you know who's gone begging to china

00:20:20.740 for a good deal or whatever no right they're all going to donald trump everyone's hanging on trump's

00:20:24.740 word and now china is just going to be sat there with 125 tariff and everyone else going thank god

00:20:29.220 it's not us right it i mean it honestly it feels kind of like the sort of thing that louis the 14th

00:20:34.820 would have done with the aristocrats at the parallels of versailles where he's just like you

00:20:38.740 know i'm gonna single that one guy out absolutely hammer him and the rest of them be like thank god it's not

00:20:42.580 me and but all of the power then is centered in trump's decision making and he can just do it via truth

00:20:48.740 social or whatever and just change everything so quickly put the put the liberal class into a

00:20:53.940 complete tizzy because they have no idea what tomorrow brings and it just it looks like trump's

00:20:58.980 been very great mannish about this so my question here is if all this is economic nationalism

00:21:07.140 number one why does he pause the tariffs why doesn't he pursue it you don't know that tomorrow

00:21:11.460 he'll just put them back on i mean he could be but the question is that there are some allies

00:21:16.500 he's gaining allies with this right well he's doing so of course he is what what he's doing

00:21:20.900 is showing the countries that really know that they are dependent on america that pretended the

00:21:25.700 fiction that no no we're independent we're sovereign countries we're we're not economically dependent

00:21:30.180 on america we'll stand up for ourselves trump has just called their bluff right and they all went

00:21:34.500 begging them no actually we please don't put the tariffs on okay fine i won't put that on for at least

00:21:38.900 90 days which is not exactly a permanent guarantee especially the way that trump makes decisions but

00:21:43.380 bam 125 on china because every i mean like it's not a secret that trump has had it in for china

00:21:49.220 since before he even ran for president right trump has been saying about china forever and so now what

00:21:55.940 he's got is all of these people begging him for good deals which he's granting them because of course

00:22:00.580 the clemency of the god emperor trump whereas china is getting absolutely making made an example of am i

00:22:06.180 wrong but the the issue is that if he's granting it at the at the expense of his people that's a

00:22:13.060 question that some economic nationalists may not absolutely this will whether certain things not going

00:22:18.980 forward with the tariffs actually harm the working class according to that that is going

00:22:26.740 that would be benefited according to the pro tariff i suspect this will be the case but it's the same

00:22:33.380 moment in my opinion on brexit yeah i'll take the hit i think we should take the hit right so next we have the

00:22:39.860 the the self-congratulation phase benny johnson is happy that uh i'm to our character bro lots of

00:22:48.740 lots of digital ones and zeros are increasing panicans right now crying so so for things for things like

00:22:56.980 that what that appears to me is benny is just like a he's a a maga talking head he's like he like many

00:23:04.180 people doesn't really understand or see the bigger picture of what's going on as it's happening so he's

00:23:10.180 just adjusting to cheerlead at whatever is going on at any particular time he's kind of following the

00:23:15.060 same patterns you know that defiant uh defiant guy yeah it's kind of like that no matter what they do

00:23:20.260 it's the best thing and anything the party has done whether it's contradictory to yesterday whether or

00:23:24.580 not i completely understand what's happening good work guys two thumbs up andreas here does this meme is

00:23:31.140 true uh a lot of people who don't really understand what trump's doing it's just like yeah no this is

00:23:36.420 a good deal uh because trump did it it's like yeah okay fine you know but what do you expect of the

00:23:40.260 mass of people you know here we have also stephen miller by from the white house who is saying you

00:23:45.220 have been watching the greatest economic master strategy from an american president in history so

00:23:51.140 i think that there are two ways of viewing it one is this way and the one that tries to portray

00:23:57.460 trump as the economic mastermind and also negotiation mastermind and the other is i'd

00:24:03.140 say the more skeptical which i'm in favor of and i think that he absolutely caved in

00:24:09.140 as a reaction due to the reaction of the of the bond market and afterwards the self-congratulation

00:24:15.940 phase is a sort of trying to you know to deal with it from a communicative perspective i think he

00:24:22.900 absolutely caved in and to be honest i think that's a good thing it's a good thing to have a

00:24:28.500 president who also cares about how the markets are reacting as opposed to just saying i really don't

00:24:34.420 care and i'm going to just not care about markets because markets are fundamentally people

00:24:40.260 and they affect everyone i mean this just looks like a massive power play to me

00:24:44.500 and it just looks like trump is completely isolated china drawn all of his allies who are

00:24:48.580 reliant on in that respect china on america over to his side and right now it's us against china now

00:24:54.740 china's got the massive tariff you're never going to go near them uh you can come to us and we're

00:24:59.540 going to make sure i agree with you and so how is this not a win i think i think trump's basically

00:25:06.100 accrued a huge amount of power to himself here i can see your argument there especially after the

00:25:09.780 past four years of biden being clearly an incompetent and impotent leader just reasserting that

00:25:15.380 actually we are in charge yeah tomorrow i might wake up and you all get tariff again so you better

00:25:19.780 hope i'm feeling clement you know better hope i get my orange juice with my breakfast or something

00:25:24.020 or else i'm going to be in a bad mood and bam you're all in trouble like i think this is trump

00:25:28.580 flexing frankly yeah um and you know who knows but uh the engaged few says uh if your country

00:25:35.860 stock market went down because the us decided the massive trade deficit harming our people with all

00:25:39.620 due respect uh fuck every square centimeter of you twice okay all right uh if i will i will say

00:25:47.060 i think uh that kind of attitude directed at your yeah own allies is um not wise not wise yes uh if

00:25:55.060 it hurts china good my son is an officer in the royal australian navy two port have stocks and bonds

00:26:00.260 yeah that's another thing i don't i don't have a lot of people don't have stocks there's something like

00:26:03.780 92 percent of people don't have stocks so it's not that i don't have stocks yeah um jam denton says

00:26:10.100 trump moves long trump's moves a long-term benefit are far greater than the endless nagging of boomers

00:26:15.300 and corporations yeah that's kind of how i feel about it it's like look it i think putting america

00:26:19.940 back in the driving seat of the global economy is probably a good idea and probably what he's been

00:26:22.980 trying to do all along was it not already well kind of i mean trump doesn't think so right like whether

00:26:29.940 whether i agree or not you know i think it's i think you well it's the the thing is this persistent

00:26:35.300 bleed effect right like i i i really can't help but look at this in the sort of civ game perspective

00:26:41.460 where it's like why would i just allow my manufacturing to get captured by my rivals but

00:26:47.380 there's just no good reason for it no it'd be much better to have that in your country because

00:26:51.300 the productive capacity of the country is the true strength of the country and you can be like yeah

00:26:55.700 well we've got this sort of like fictional soft power but britain's learning the hard way

00:26:59.780 that without the actual hard productivity but this views the worker only in their capacity as a

00:27:05.540 producer not as a consumer okay so if you have you impose all sorts of tariffs maybe you have work

00:27:15.060 on the one hand as you say because the the industry is back in the short term but also what happens is

00:27:20.820 that the prices go up and if prices go up and everything your nominal wage is for any kind

00:27:29.700 is corresponds to less real wage i agree and so you your your purchasing power goes down i appreciate

00:27:37.140 that but if you end up in a position where you literally are uh not actually yourselves producing

00:27:44.660 anything well people can just deny you goods i understand this but that's terrible just don't

00:27:51.540 think that the u.s economy is as bad as it's recently portrayed in some i'm not saying it is or i'm not

00:27:57.460 saying it isn't i'm just saying like i i think there has been a bleed effect yeah look i think

00:28:02.660 trump is trying to staunch with that and that's i think the plan here is here you know and again i'm

00:28:07.380 not saying it's perfectly executed or that it's even very well thought out uh but i i mean i'm just

00:28:12.740 looking at this as a power play and i think trump's it's interesting yeah if nothing else yeah yeah yeah

00:28:16.900 uh barbell says this was trump's plan let the man cook to quote jack donovan when europeans comment on

00:28:22.420 american politics and always he's like fat girls talk about what the hot girls did can i take a

00:28:26.340 moment yeah can i take a moment to address i've heard some people saying that we don't have air

00:28:31.220 conditions or something yeah americans don't that's bs i just wanted to address and uh to the americans

00:28:37.060 watching this this is uh nothing against you the americans that i know are all wonderful lovely people

00:28:42.740 but in the online discourse there does seem to be a strange animosity that a lot of americans have

00:28:48.340 towards europeans and i'm not saying that that's not reciprocal there are a lot of snooty europeans

00:28:52.260 who look down the noses at it but i think that there's much more to be gained through dropping

00:28:57.300 the animosity and respectfully acknowledging the ancestral ties that we all share together

00:29:03.140 europe is the homeland of americans and it is where the culture derives from and i don't see any benefit

00:29:12.180 in kind of having this strange animosity towards europeans because america is the world hegemon it has

00:29:19.700 been since the end of world war ii we will rebuilt through the marshall plan most of our industry

00:29:26.020 tends to be owned by americans the trade deficits are going on uh mainly because of the fact that

00:29:33.060 well european countries don't have space for things like american cars for instance it doesn't mean that

00:29:41.060 we hate you and i don't i i don't think kind of encouraging that competition that unfriendly

00:29:47.700 competition it is positive i think we should all just get along also the i think a lot of americans

00:29:53.220 mistake our shit lib globalist elite class for being what europeans think uh no we we hate them and we

00:30:01.460 want them to go as well the majority of people are much more inclined towards america and towards just

00:30:06.580 being far right than they are towards being shit libs it's just they're the ones with the power so

00:30:11.140 we've got a hundred dollars from alexa 308 yeah thank you very very much yeah who says stelius

00:30:16.500 respectfully agree to disagree about this trying to get manufacturing back uh this is about trying

00:30:21.220 to get manufacturing back china has taken over the manufacturing by stealing ips and still in

00:30:24.580 aluminium and not i do not disagree with this honestly and thank you for for saying it respectfully and

00:30:30.500 also for the the donation thank you and i'm i'm not anti-republican i'm not anti-republican we were

00:30:37.460 here on the election just i i'm really cautious of a particular kind of approach towards trump which

00:30:44.420 i don't think it's healthy for both trump and maga yeah but i supported trump as an agent of chaos

00:30:50.500 who was literally to come in and just start bullying all of the other company countries on earth

00:30:56.500 into doing the right thing and that's what i feel i'm getting out of this so and again uh just because

00:31:03.460 i don't think i finished my uh my point as well as i could have basically europeans we have to pay

00:31:09.540 attention to what's happening in america we have to comment on it because you're the global superpower

00:31:13.860 what happens to you in your markets in the way that you're um reacting to geopolitical issues it

00:31:19.300 affects us directly as well so that's why we spend so much time talking about it and also you don't have

00:31:23.940 exactly a tradition of trusting your government up until from the 60s so yeah just just saying we

00:31:32.180 also don't trust our governments i mean the french went about it in a particularly brutal actually

00:31:37.380 that's one of the things i love about them how much they hate their government yeah i know yeah

00:31:42.180 i mean if it's a logical hatred it's good but it's good i actually do trust our government just to do

00:31:47.220 the wrong thing anyway let's move on uh so good news uh labor is great replacing themselves because

00:31:54.740 the fruits that they have the seeds that they have sown are boring fruit and those fruits are muslim

00:32:00.660 independent mps that will undoubtedly eventually form a muslim party that will replace the labor

00:32:05.780 party in those places that they thought they had strongholds this is actually i mean it's sad it's

00:32:11.460 disgraceful it should never happen it shouldn't be allowed to happen it should be stopped right now

00:32:15.940 but it won't be because the labor party are deep-seated ideologues and they can't ever change

00:32:21.780 their mind on anything and everything they do has to be viewed through the kind of hyper-partisan lens

00:32:26.660 whereas oh look if they want that to happen we want the opposite even if it's going to destroy us from

00:32:31.540 within and this is what we're watching happening in real time before we begin go to shop.loses.com

00:32:37.540 grab the islander merch before it is gone because it will be gone fairly soon uh the islanders

00:32:41.700 have all sold out ages ago so you can't get that now i'm afraid uh you'll have to wait to

00:32:45.220 islander 4 which i know is going to be very good as well because we've been planning it now anyway

00:32:50.900 moving on so you may remember back at the beginning of the year when elon musk went on a rampage

00:32:56.660 and was like wow uh jess phillips is a genocide apologist and uh started hammering the labor

00:33:03.460 party for not being in favor of a grooming gang inquiry in oldham because oldham council

00:33:09.860 asked the government look can we please have a grooming gang inquiry a national one

00:33:13.780 uh labor like no you can't because that will deeply implicate us and the client groups we've

00:33:18.340 brought into this country to replace you as voters uh and in fact health secretary wes streeting uh was

00:33:24.660 like well look elon musk right we we care so much about the grooming gangs that we would like you to

00:33:31.940 take this seriously with us and quote roll up your sleeves and work with us against the rape gangs that's

00:33:37.620 in fact the bbc's exact framing there which is you know remarkable considering how they've softly

00:33:43.220 softly approached this in any other times so on the 16th of january vet cooper was like oh well look

00:33:48.740 we're going to have a quote nationwide review of grooming gang evidence i mean i'm pretty sure we

00:33:54.980 have done that i'm pretty sure we have that already we know what the problem is we know the

00:33:58.980 communities the problem is coming out of we know the victims what they've been doing to them it's all

00:34:03.540 abominable but then she says right so we'll have five government-backed local inquiries uh she stopped

00:34:09.780 short of launching a statutory national inquiry which is really what people want uh which is what

00:34:15.220 the labor party uh the conservatives and some labor mps and of course at the time reform were calling

00:34:19.780 for uh but this marks a clear shift in their position they also she also pledged five million

00:34:24.100 pounds to this oh right okay okay to me the the whole point of an inquiry is the results that we get

00:34:30.420 at the end of the action that is taken at the end of it just continually trying to brush it off we need

00:34:36.420 to do this inquiry no we're going to do these inquiries no we need to do a broader one though

00:34:40.420 we need to keep them more localized all of that is pushing the issue back to try and turn it into an

00:34:46.260 endless churn of conversation when realistically we already know who the perpetrators are we know what

00:34:52.820 they have been doing we know where they are there needs to be action direct action taken off of the

00:34:58.580 information that is already well known across the country yeah and that's why you need it to be

00:35:03.460 uh a statutory inquiry so it has government power so it can actually compel people to come and testify

00:35:09.940 or reveal uh information documents uh to hand it over to the government so they can prove that this has

00:35:17.860 been happening at the local level the councils the police and the social workers and going up to the

00:35:23.220 the problem with the the local ones is that the people who would be conducting it locally are probably

00:35:27.940 also wrapped up in it marking their own homework yes we'll trust them on that exactly correct right

00:35:33.460 exactly correct and so it turns out the labor are like yeah we're not going to do that actually

00:35:38.180 what we're going to do is uh adopt a flexible approach says jess phillips home office minister

00:35:43.700 for safeguarding women and girls it's like really you'd think really that they would be incredibly

00:35:49.620 firm on this jess phillips has got a long and storied history of being an insufferable feminist and

00:35:54.580 therefore claiming to want to protect women and girls and she's like yeah no we're just gonna we're

00:35:59.220 just gonna you know back away from this uh expects she cares about women well i mean hypothetically

00:36:06.340 what kind of women and what kind of men are abusing them those are the two most important

00:36:11.220 questions is it andrew and whether they vote is it andrew tate fans or is it uh new british well this

00:36:17.300 is the i mean sometimes one in the same but this this is the question so uh she said no look we're

00:36:22.580 going to be more flexible about this guys we need to be flexible uh she said that this could mean

00:36:27.140 full independent local inquiries which is not what olden and other places are asking for they're

00:36:31.060 asking for government inquiries they don't want these to be independent because of course i say

00:36:34.340 the people be marking their own bloody homework but it could also include quote more bespoke work

00:36:39.220 including local victims panels or locally led audits of historical uh the handling of historical cases

00:36:44.740 so right as you can see it's melting away now oh we're just local victims panels yeah we're just

00:36:49.700 gonna have local victims they sit there they sit there in a support circle and yeah no action is

00:36:55.460 taken again just brushing it back to a conversation yeah exactly so you can see why people like right

00:37:00.660 so you're watering this down and hoping it'll just drain away so nothing happens and actually uh

00:37:06.260 one conservative mp called katie lamb uh kind of gave it to her in parliament which is pretty great

00:37:12.180 i'm going to play this or in wales the girls we are talking about mr speaker are predominantly white

00:37:19.700 the men who preyed on them were predominantly muslim generally either from pakistan or of pakistani

00:37:25.140 heritage one of the victims mardewsbury was told by her rapist i quote we're here to all the white

00:37:32.100 girls and the government will the minister accept that in many cases these crimes were racially and

00:37:38.660 religiously aggravated so that pretty much is the nail on the head for all of the details and data

00:37:46.660 that might be the strongest rhetoric i've heard from anyone government regarding this yeah yeah it's

00:37:52.580 it's pretty great actually i'm glad that she pointed out the the racial aspect for it because

00:37:58.580 the government just frankly doesn't care for the most part oh it's been trying to avoid the topic

00:38:04.420 and they try to explain a wall you know there are there are other sexual abuse that happens that

00:38:08.340 for non-ethnic reasons okay but in this particular case we have over and over and over seen that

00:38:14.420 there has been an ethnic and racially motivated uh racial motivation for this and so what was

00:38:21.220 what was jess phillips response to this i wonder uh well it was to to diffuse and just

00:38:27.620 and to stutter away at it because did she accuse her of toxic masculinity i gather no but

00:38:33.300 uh interesting that she could have done but she could have done that to trevor phillips because

00:38:38.260 trevor phillips who has a long history in britain of discussing racial issues that have been caused by

00:38:44.980 multiculturalism uh has just come out and said look it's obvious that they don't want to offend the

00:38:49.220 pakistani muslims yep that's that's entirely the point uh because this is something this is a voting

00:38:57.940 block that labor relies upon because for example and again just to remind americans uh britain is

00:39:03.540 only 6.5 muslim but it's hyper concentrated in certain constituencies and if you're a labor uh mp and

00:39:10.660 you've been courting them as a little client group saying look vote for us keep our labor mps in

00:39:15.060 parliament and we'll make sure that no one's ever islamophobic to you we'll make sure that everyone

00:39:19.140 promotes eid and all this sort of stuff blah blah blah blah uh that's great until the the muslims

00:39:24.180 realize well why can't we just get our own mps and actually that's kind of what's been happening

00:39:30.180 take for example adnan hussein mp he became an mp in 2024 he's part of one of the four independent

00:39:38.420 muslim uh mps five if you count jeremy corbyn i would which i do yeah um and he says oh no i mean

00:39:46.900 in response to rupert lowe uh we're not we're not worried about you offending us i can assure you that

00:39:52.180 pakistanis want an inquiry and justice for the victims as much as anyone else

00:39:59.700 so when the vote in parliament was shall we have a national inquiry how do you think he voted oh well

00:40:06.660 he must have been all for it right that's right you abstained oh yeah he didn't vote for it it's like

00:40:12.740 you liar you snake you serpent we know what you're doing because these things are all public bro we can

00:40:19.620 see how you vote on these things and come on now come on now like you can't you can't fool us so

00:40:27.300 anyway nigel has uh come out and started saying things which i find very amusing as you can see

00:40:32.980 here he's like oh labor are running scared of the extremist muslim vote in our inner cities it's like

00:40:38.340 that seems to be you walking very close to the line of calling muslims extremists

00:40:43.140 because just think about how many of these muslim independents there are how many people in that

00:40:48.980 constituency must have voted on the purely muslim ticket what you're saying is about 40 percent of

00:40:55.300 these constituencies are full of extremists that sounds like the sort of thing that you castigated

00:40:59.620 tommy robinson for saying that sounds like the sort of thing you kicked out various uh candidates

00:41:04.420 from your party for saying oh and what happens by 2050 i thought we shouldn't alienate these people

00:41:10.260 that's a great point you sound a lot like you're coming really close to alienating islam knowledge

00:41:15.300 bit of a concern isn't it i mean this is a bit weird but he is in fact in many ways correct because

00:41:21.780 you can look at the seats and these are really funny as you can see here from the 2011 census

00:41:28.740 in say birmingham yardley the muslim population was 31 percent the christian population 47 percent

00:41:34.740 that has inverted in the last decade in birmingham yardley this is jess phillips seat and so what does

00:41:41.220 that mean well that means that jess phillips is getting great replaced right jess phillips and the

00:41:46.660 she won the last uh election in 2024 by about 600 votes out of a hundred thousand it was on a knife edge

00:41:54.660 and the person who was closest to her was a woman from the the workers party of great britain which is

00:42:01.060 george galloway's communist islamo party right so basically it was you vote for the muslims or you

00:42:06.260 vote for labor both of them essentially being the same thing but why would they vote for jess phillips

00:42:12.260 what would be the need and so she got essentially harassed by a bunch of muslim men during her

00:42:16.980 uh acceptance speech which is pretty terrible uh so let's move but they hadn't watched adolescence

00:42:22.500 i bet they bloody well haven't let's have a look at west street was at this moment that she realized

00:42:26.580 yeah it literally is no she didn't no she didn't accountability responsibility understanding the

00:42:34.260 f around and find out curve impossible you have literally brought in a constituency of people who

00:42:39.380 have a a shared collective identity that is overtly political and they're now going to i've just

00:42:44.820 noticed in this graph they've even started pushing the seks out and the jewish population has gone

00:42:50.660 as almost halved as well yep it's that's i'm not that surprised it's not great is it

00:42:56.580 there was 93 jews living there before and they all slowly have gone yeah what i don't know about

00:43:02.980 this what are we doing here bro half of them have left uh anyway so the next one is uh west streetings

00:43:09.780 uh ilford north constituency whereas you can see that leanne mohammed uh in the in a latest poll that's

00:43:16.500 come out would uh defeat them by a massive margin by more than two to one labor have great replaced

00:43:23.540 themselves in ilford north this is incredible actually because again it's exactly is that where

00:43:28.580 we're streeting is yes that's where we're streeting is the current health secretary who's like you know

00:43:33.060 no we're gonna work with this i see 36 christian 23 muslim in 2011 32 31 and suddenly we're streetings

00:43:41.940 out of a job sorry wes what's going on here bro how do you feel about this do us a favor i tagged you in a

00:43:47.380 tweet about this but you didn't respond i guess you mustn't have seen it i'm sure you see this though

00:43:51.140 let me know how you feel that you are going to get replaced by leanne mohammed in your constituency

00:43:57.220 are you still in favor of mass immigration are you still in favor of just unlimited and complete

00:44:02.500 access to our country for these people who can move in into the same place and just vote for their

00:44:07.220 own people how do you as a politician feel that your career is over so anyway let's look at some

00:44:13.300 other ones we uh we mentioned adan ad i can't pronounce the name adnan adnan hussein right and it's just

00:44:21.300 the short-sightedness of labor is really starting to catch up with them here this is it's kind of

00:44:26.260 funny right so this his constituency is blackburn right and if you look at the 20th century that

00:44:32.180 was basically occupied by jack straw right labor all the way since 1955 until 2024 when now it's an

00:44:40.900 independent muslim mp shall we look at the constituency demographic profile is it going to be one of those

00:44:48.100 stories we've already seen boom yes it is look at that in 2011 39 47 muslim christian now 49 32 muslim

00:44:58.340 mp i've been to blackburn as well it's a it's a grim place a grim place to be i totally agree but it used

00:45:04.820 to be a grim labor place full of english people who voted labor not anymore and probably never again what

00:45:11.300 what reason do these people have to vote for the labor party when they could vote for muslims they could

00:45:16.420 vote for themselves and they will what about leicester south this is uh shock at adam who was uh one

00:45:22.980 another one of the independent muslim mps what do you think harry uh let me guess

00:45:30.260 labor since 2005 until boom 2024 and even then before that is basically since 1987 uh and even then boom of

00:45:38.820 course we've got a muslim independent how's it looking exactly the same exactly the same profile

00:45:45.940 every single time it reaches the tipping point where they suddenly become the majority of the

00:45:49.940 constituents in that area the plurality and then they just vote themselves in yeah but why what yeah

00:45:56.260 exactly why wouldn't you expect it if i was living in pakistan and i was able to vote in an election and

00:46:04.340 englishman yeah and there was one random english guy yeah even if even if it wasn't english if there

00:46:10.500 was a frenchman a spaniard a belgian anyone like that european well he's probably got more in common

00:46:16.660 with me than the rest of these people do exactly he better represents you than the the even if the

00:46:23.060 even if the muslim party is saying oh we're going to pander to european interests you'd be like okay i'm

00:46:27.380 i'm sure you will but i know you've got all of these other interests that are like hooks on you that you

00:46:31.300 can't get rid of and so i'm just going to vote for my guy who i know doesn't have those hooks on him

00:46:35.780 and so i know you're going to vote exclusively for my interest again birmingham perry should we look

00:46:41.060 at that one that's uh iqbal muhammad the fourth independent muslim uh as you can see

00:46:49.460 since 1974 this was labor stronghold now are you sorry this is the wrong one ayyub khan

00:46:56.580 uh i'm on here sorry uh and as you can see from the thing 35 in 2011 45 now it's going to be a

00:47:04.500 muslim stronghold forever now this is what you have done to yourselves labor party um like i said that

00:47:10.500 was ayyub khan this reminds me of an equivalent of what lenin was saying against the the capitalists

00:47:17.700 yeah yeah that they are selling the rope to hang them well yeah i mean obviously electoral yes

00:47:23.140 absolutely you were exactly right uh sorry it was dewsbury and uh batley that has been merged into

00:47:31.700 the same constituency now but batley was labor since 1997 dewsbury was labor uh since 1987 to 2010

00:47:38.900 when there was a brief conservative uh interregnum and of course now if you look at it 38 percent in

00:47:46.180 2011 46 percent in 2021 bam now you're going to get a muslim mp forever so labor i think we can

00:47:56.180 concise uh can comprehensively state are great replacing themselves so i mean i looked up by

00:48:01.540 the way uh kirstarmer's got a while to go before he's great replacement which is a bit of a shame

00:48:05.620 uh yvette cooper is who's in the welsh constituency and they've had virtually no immigration so it's not

00:48:10.580 happening to her but the english ones must feel that they are on borrowed time because they are

00:48:16.100 definitely under siege and they are trying to serve two masters on the one hand they have a growing

00:48:22.900 muslim population in the cities that they have brought in who are great replacing them and will

00:48:27.620 just literally just cycle out labor mps for muslim mps and so that and that's hundreds this is going

00:48:34.660 to be like hundreds of uh labor mps uh built in the back of that and on the other side you have those

00:48:40.340 ones outside of the cities or in the still majority english areas of those cities who are furious about

00:48:46.980 the grooming gangs and so you have the the desire to protect the community from whence the grooming

00:48:52.340 gangs come and so not to offend them or the desire to choose the new constituency that might actually

00:48:59.380 vote for you in the future because that constituency ain't going to vote for you in the future so labor

00:49:03.780 on the horns of a dilemma here they're trying to serve two masters and it's clearly tearing them apart

00:49:08.260 as the times point out here that this is this article is just a list of loads of mps going yeah

00:49:14.100 i'm just getting it in the neck constantly just like oh my god that people are constantly going on

00:49:19.220 about all of this stuff all the way through it and it's like yeah imagine imagine you're some labor

00:49:23.860 mp and you actually did just genuinely want to i don't know you're just just some idiot uh basically

00:49:29.220 who uh decided i want to help the workers and then you get elected in and uh all of a sudden you're

00:49:35.380 having covering up grooming gangs yeah you're having to deal with all of these weird foreign

00:49:39.300 ethnic interests that you have no idea about it would be a bit confusing yeah and so vet cooper has

00:49:46.180 decided you know i am going to slam the misinformation that the grooming gang inquiries are essentially

00:49:52.500 being cancelled or diffused into other things no no no we are still doing this she says looks like

00:49:57.460 she's aged 10 years in that one picture doesn't they all do yeah i didn't want to comment on it but

00:50:02.580 they look rough because i think they can see that the time is absolutely running out for them

00:50:07.220 um but they're going to she says that she's going to do it but actually if you look into the details

00:50:12.660 of what she said she's basically saying no we're going to work with the police and make sure they've

00:50:16.260 got what they need to do the local inquiries it's like okay but that just ends up going down the road of

00:50:21.540 no statutory authority no hard um barriers on who is going to be able to avoid this and basically you're

00:50:30.340 letting them again mark their own homework so not exactly something that's going to help and

00:50:35.620 really i think they deliberately do this not only to protect the muslim community but also because

00:50:39.460 they're going to be pointing the finger at their own bloody councillors not you two obviously but you

00:50:43.540 know i mean like they'll be pointing their finger at their their own councillors and be like all right

00:50:46.820 so it was us was it oh we did this did we oh okay that's weird and finally rupert lowe has managed to

00:50:53.940 raise half half a million pounds that's impressive it's very impressive for his own independent rape

00:50:59.460 gang inquiry because you may remember at the beginning of the year nigel farage was very firm

00:51:03.540 saying yes we're gonna we're gonna have our own reforms can have our own independent inquiry and

00:51:07.780 then after the rupert lowe thing he was like well we won't have any statutory powers we won't bother

00:51:13.780 there are some people who are saying that this inquiry shouldn't happen on the right because we

00:51:19.140 already know i think that's profoundly mistaken because a lot of people on in the online sphere

00:51:24.980 may know but this is going to do wonders for the general keeping it in the discourse i think is

00:51:29.860 important i mean it could also unearth who knows how much else yeah on top on top of it yeah because

00:51:35.940 again the inquiries that have happened so far if i'm if correct me if i'm wrong have all mostly

00:51:41.140 been local ones as well so who knows what has been covered up in those again to me i'm happy to

00:51:47.860 um to support a national inquiry as long as there is the promise of direct and definitive action

00:51:53.380 at the other end of it people need to um face punishment yeah i mean this this is what this is a

00:52:00.500 fantastic method of putting pressure on the labor party to do what is the right thing ultimately and

00:52:06.260 what the british public want which is why nigel france supported it initially and after his break with

00:52:10.900 rupert lowe has decided well there's no point if there's no statutory powers so okay but you knew that

00:52:15.140 from the start and you still supported it it's very strange and this has become a political

00:52:20.260 football between the two but uh but anyway so we'll leave that there um the engaged view says

00:52:26.020 makes one wonder how long before the left pushes to change the term grape into surprise sex as to

00:52:30.340 not offend myself as well it's only a matter of time regarding stelios as well we missed one matt

00:52:35.380 hammond said supposedly trump approached allied countries in his previous administration about

00:52:39.380 removing tariffs and trade barriers and they brushed him off trump woke them up to the issue and isolated

00:52:44.020 china if that's true that's very interesting actually yeah and uh that's that's a random name

00:52:48.100 says i swear to god every time i see jess phillips i immediately think of ludwig the accursed from

00:52:52.020 bloodborne i have no idea i get that reference he is a deformed horse monster

00:52:58.580 or ironically except except he becomes noble again which i don't think is going to happen with jess

00:53:04.100 phillips you know what's interesting just like jess phillips if you look at the pictures of

00:53:07.860 her from like 2015 where she's got a much more full face she looks like she's been on a

00:53:11.380 zen pick or something she looks a lot more attractive back in 2015 which is not something

00:53:16.180 i thought i'd ever say that's not saying that it's because her face isn't like hollowed out

00:53:21.060 from weight loss it looks it looks awful yeah so anyway last segment uh let's talk about the big

00:53:29.620 promise that donald trump has made which was the mass deportations leading up to his election and see

00:53:35.700 how they're doing because there have been some issues with them that have been going ahead so far

00:53:40.900 which i do not necessarily know if i can blame his administration for them thus far mainly because

00:53:46.340 one of the big metrics i keep seeing brushed about is that joe biden by this time last year had

00:53:53.780 deported more people in that year than john donald trump has done this year and i don't necessarily

00:53:59.540 know if i want to blame trump or his administration for that because biden was the inside guy we know

00:54:05.780 from the events of 2020 and a certain article that was written by time magazine which revealed what

00:54:11.940 had happened in 2020 to a certain extent uh that biden was the guy that they wanted he was the deep

00:54:17.220 state's appointee essentially and thus liken the labor party and blair where the entire system is

00:54:24.020 blairite i would imagine that if joe biden wanted people deported he'd have a lot more people saying

00:54:28.900 sir yes sir we'll get on it straight away than donald trump who does still face a lot of

00:54:33.620 institutional pushback from the many people employed in the u.s government who have massive tds

00:54:39.140 moreover biden let in about 10 million people yeah it's also a lot easier to continually deport

00:54:44.100 people if you're letting a lot more people in and i will say as well we'll get to the figures but

00:54:48.740 the situation on the southern border under trump thus far looks a lot a lot better than it did this

00:54:53.940 time last year under biden so we'll go over a lot of that but we'll also see what's happening with

00:54:58.740 the attempts to deport a few people who are allegedly members of a venezuelan gang that

00:55:06.260 you might remember from a segment we did last year and also see what he's doing to try and get rid of

00:55:10.820 other people in the country so for instance right now he's revoking hundreds of international student

00:55:15.460 visas i whenever i talk about things like this i don't like to see the word hundreds i want to see

00:55:21.540 hundreds of thousands that's the kind of figures that i want to be seeing with something like this

00:55:27.460 because when it comes to mass demographic replacement it happens at such a rapid rate

00:55:32.820 i mean america i believe is already what 57 percent white demographically it happens so quickly and

00:55:41.460 becomes potentially irreversible to such an extent if you want to reverse these trends especially with

00:55:46.500 the illegals which is the big problem in america you need to be getting them out in huge numbers all at

00:55:53.220 once and when it comes to legal migration things like student visas are a big problem as well i know

00:55:57.940 in the uk we bring lots of people over with that route who also get to bring their entire family along

00:56:02.900 as dependents i'd imagine it's very much the same in america as well but with this it's over 80

00:56:07.700 universities reported revoked visas according to a tracker by inside higher education us security

00:56:14.820 secretary of state marco rubio confirmed at least 300 visas have been remote 300 000 marco that's what

00:56:22.100 we're looking for adding that the department was targeting those who are involved in activities

00:56:25.780 that run counter to u.s national interest so these are like pro-palestinian activists like that man that

00:56:31.300 you covered on the podcast yes that was his name who is name checked in this as well some people want

00:56:38.180 to whine about my constitution my civil liberties the aclu want to get involved in this but again if it's a

00:56:45.780 question of sorry what does what does the constitution say about international student visas not much

00:56:53.140 exactly not much piss off not much so i i feel like waving about a piece of paper that's been ignored

00:57:00.740 since probably at least eisenhower is uh not the best well actually since fdr stole all of your gold

00:57:08.020 oh and wilson instituted the draft in 1917 the constitution has been time to time completely

00:57:15.380 ignored and sidestepped for a hundred years at this point so if it's done for bad reasons you can

00:57:22.020 also do it for good reasons for civilization saving reasons so and the aclu are fifth columnist

00:57:30.020 subversives within your institutions in the first place so i would just ignore anything that they have

00:57:34.660 to say in the first place also ice is currently looking to adjust its business model uh into uh turning

00:57:42.020 themselves into amazon for mass deportations acting director todd lions or lions told attendees at the

00:57:48.740 2025 border security expo in phoenix they hope to model his agency after amazon saying he was envious

00:57:55.540 of their shipping and logistics we want we want ice prime one day delivery that's what yeah i i think

00:58:04.660 many americans are more than happy to pay for their taxes if that is what was going on in addition to

00:58:10.580 the taxes like look you just have to pay five bucks a month to get ice prime would it be worth

00:58:14.820 it millions to sign up for it oh absolutely he envisioned a future in which the mass roundups

00:58:19.300 and deportations of people in the us could run as efficiently as ordering a cheap pair of headphones

00:58:24.260 so make it happen you're going home absolutely just make it happen as part of that plan they've

00:58:29.940 been speaking about basically working with private corporations to try and implement that i think

00:58:35.220 there are some billionaires who are interested in teaming up with the us government to make this

00:58:39.940 happen as well so absolutely this is something that's been said a number of times i think enoch

00:58:44.660 powell spoke about well if we want to get these people out of the country make it profitable yeah

00:58:49.780 make it very profitable for companies to get these people out of the country if they're not supposed to

00:58:55.060 be here and you can make money from it then there are going to be very enterprising businessmen who

00:59:00.260 will get them out as quickly and as cheaply as possible so absolutely make this happen and there's also

00:59:07.540 reports from places like the council on foreign relations fifth columnists as well don't worry

00:59:13.220 about them but they're saying where are they sending the migrants and it's got some other

00:59:18.500 reports in here saying that uh although the exact number of migrants is unclear of how many have gone

00:59:25.060 so far i think the estimated number that some are coming out with is 27 to 28 000 having been deported

00:59:30.980 already again and even three months but drop in the bucket it needs to be more than that but he will

00:59:35.860 be facing a lot more institutional pushback than biden did according to data from witness at the border

00:59:41.780 a us-based migrant advocacy group oh yeah there have been more than 350 deportation flights since the

00:59:49.300 start of the year so again ramp those numbers up 350 000 deportation flights just keep them going

00:59:56.100 make it a conveyor belt i mean that's a lot of fights there's a lot of flights but we know they

01:00:00.980 could make it happen the most notable deportations occurred on march 15th and we'll return to this

01:00:06.980 when trump invoked the 1798 alien enemies act to deport to el salvador more than 200 alleged members of

01:00:14.500 the venezuelan tren de aragua gang which the united states has designated a terrorist organization now of

01:00:21.300 course people are pushing back against them being terrorists will while ignoring that biden himself

01:00:28.340 last year designated them an international criminal organization which is exactly

01:00:33.540 what they are the deportation figures it says are not as high as expected according to federal data

01:00:38.660 while boarding border crosses have plummeted the trump admin deported fewer people in february 2025

01:00:43.780 than biden did in february last year biden deported approximately four million people during

01:00:49.140 his presidency compared to the roughly three million people deported by his predecessor obama who was

01:00:54.100 dubbed the deporter in chief that's far too good a name so guarding the border is possible

01:01:00.420 pardon guarding the border is possible guarding the border is possible and again yeah you are

01:01:04.820 absolutely right it's a lot easier to deport millions of people when you're letting millions

01:01:08.820 of people in through the border all at once and let's take a look first first actually let's take a

01:01:13.860 look so we can see where a lot of these people are going apparently some of the people are

01:01:17.300 deporting are taking quick stops in guantanamo bay uh which is quite interesting but most of

01:01:22.260 them are not going back to their home countries they're being taken to like we see here in el

01:01:26.660 salvador where they're going to um prisons essentially uh to be held because one of the

01:01:32.580 reasons that you want to deport people is they're criminals who shouldn't be in the country in the

01:01:36.660 first place i mean if they're in the country illegally they're automatically criminals violent psychotic

01:01:42.100 criminals who join satanic drug gangs whose mottos are literally kill rape control yes and who knows

01:01:48.020 how to deal with those kind of guys el salvador so that's interesting and let's take a look at the

01:01:53.860 graph of the southwest land border encounters now each of these lines represents a different year

01:02:01.300 can you tell which year is this year i can tell which years of the biden years yeah yeah you really

01:02:06.980 can so this orange line here is 2024 whereas uh and you can see here that was uh what in just just in

01:02:15.460 2024 february they had almost 200 000 enforcement encounters so those are just the ones that they do

01:02:21.780 count february of this year where'd it go there it is february of this year 11 000 amazing that's that's

01:02:29.940 a huge improvement that is a ridiculous drop so whether people want to disparage the actual

01:02:35.220 deportation figures of course i do think that they should be higher and hopefully as the

01:02:39.540 administration carries on as we go through 2025 26 27 hopefully those figures will get a lot higher

01:02:45.380 but i mean just the border crossing numbers look a lot better so far so that's a massive improvement

01:02:50.660 so i've got to give it to that and on to the main topic now which is the issue surrounding the use of

01:02:57.060 the alien enemies act to deport these violent criminals in a in a venezuelan gang the trend

01:03:04.500 de aragua i keep getting that wrong so i'm being very very careful with how i say that now you may

01:03:10.900 actually remember these guys from a segment that stelios did last year when in aurora coral colorado

01:03:18.420 there was an apartment complex where we had a lot of footage being shared about on social media

01:03:22.900 particularly twitter that had been taken over by a venezuelan gang i remember a lot of leftist

01:03:28.500 denial no there's not a town in colorado that's literally being taken over by a venezuelan

01:03:33.380 murder gang well i mean the the cnn reporting guy armed gang members were seen on video took over

01:03:41.780 the apartment complex is now being closed because it was taken over by venezuelan gang members can you

01:03:48.420 guess which venezuelan gang it was uh friend de aragua yes pronounced obviously yes exactly them

01:03:56.340 so these guys are a big problem in america right now and the american fed uh feds are saying we don't

01:04:03.220 want these people in our country they make everything more dangerous they actually tend to venez um to

01:04:08.260 victimize other venezuelan immigrants in particular so if you want to keep them safe you better get out the

01:04:14.580 criminals who are also from venezuela and people have been screeching people have been screeching

01:04:19.620 very loudly about this so they've been trying to deport a lot of members that were rounded up

01:04:25.220 it was uh something like 230 something members and uh they have been facing issues and pushback

01:04:31.700 because of this the powerful multinational crime group which trump declared a foreign terrorist

01:04:36.340 organization has been accused of sex trafficking drug smuggling and murders both at home and in major

01:04:41.460 u.s cities one of their favorite things to do is bury people alive so presumably uh leftists will

01:04:48.740 look at that and saying like no he's just like the bugs from starship troopers don't you understand

01:04:52.740 you're you're the bad guys let them suck you let them let them bury you alive who cares media literacy

01:04:58.740 isn't kicking in at the moment yeah clearly i left my media literacy award at home today sadly so i'm

01:05:04.420 just a bigot now but many of the deportees do not have u.s criminal records not u.s criminal records

01:05:10.260 oh well then that's fine then i mean venezuela is one of the countries that when people cross the

01:05:16.340 border apparently they're one of the countries that do not announce if the people who are crossing

01:05:20.340 the border have venezuelan criminal records why would they want to exactly and then we're getting

01:05:24.900 rid of them yeah yeah there you go and uh that that was acknowledged by an ice official court document

01:05:32.740 but again if they're not supposed to be in the country in the first place who cares some relatives

01:05:36.900 of the deported migrants have told the bbc that the men have been wrongly swept up in the

01:05:41.140 immigration crackdown and that they are innocent several other families have said that they believe

01:05:46.100 the deportees were mistakenly identified as gang members because of their tattoos and we'll take a

01:05:51.540 look at some of the tattoos that we can use to identify these people in a minute just got a gang

01:05:56.580 tattoo bro i don't know why you think i'm part of a gang it's like someone saying that it's just

01:06:00.340 it's a buddhist swastika what are you talking about you know yeah right okay i would like to see

01:06:04.180 someone try and pull that one off uh like you go into the prison no this isn't the aryan brotherhood

01:06:09.060 these aren't these aren't swastikas what are you talking about a lower court had temporarily blocked

01:06:15.460 the deportation of these people ruling that the actions under the 1798 alien enemies act needed

01:06:22.500 further scrutiny if you want more information on that particular act as well i believe beau on monday or

01:06:28.100 tuesday did a segment looking at the history of it because of these events so please feel free to

01:06:33.060 watch that segment it's very good trump has alleged that the migrants were members of the gang

01:06:37.380 conducting irregular warfare against the us and could therefore be removed under the act i think

01:06:42.180 there's a fair argument to be made that if foreign countries are allowing their criminal murder rape

01:06:48.500 gangs to come into your country that yeah that's a weird irregular form of warfare but basically warfare

01:06:54.740 monday's ruling said that the challenge brought by the american civil liberties union the aclu of course it

01:06:59.700 was on behalf of the five migrants was raised improperly in a washington dc court not in texas

01:07:04.740 where the migrants are confined the u.s court the supreme court has cleared the way for trump to use

01:07:10.580 the act but it needs to be given the right of habeas corpus so in texas it needs to go back

01:07:16.420 through the texan court system i believe while the administration is claiming the ruling is a win

01:07:21.540 the justice mandate uh justice is mandated that deportees must be given a chance to challenge

01:07:26.820 their removal can you guess it was a five four split right can you guess which conservative just

01:07:33.460 canny baron yep yep she sided with the dissenters

01:07:38.500 of course she did aaron's thomas probably wrote one single line

01:07:42.980 clear him out

01:07:47.620 it carries on to say the notice must be afforded within a reasonable time in such manner as will allow

01:07:51.700 them to actually seek habeas relief in the proper venue before such removal occurs the only question

01:07:57.860 is which court will resolve resolve that challenge the aclu has also claimed that the ruling is a huge

01:08:03.300 victory because of course it is because it means that criminals get to stay in the us for a little

01:08:07.780 while longer and that's all these kinds of civil liberty unions all they want to do these days is

01:08:13.220 just make sure that leftism is enforced by the courts people people can point to the aclu in the past

01:08:19.140 defending uh literal nazis under the rights of the first amendment and free speech that was then this

01:08:25.140 is now i mean they were defending citizens now they're not defending citizens no uh see uh the aclu

01:08:32.580 released a statement saying that we are disappointed that we will need to start the court process over

01:08:36.500 again no you're not no you're not in a different venue but the critical point is the supreme court said

01:08:41.060 individuals must be given due process to challenge their removal under this act now that just means that

01:08:46.420 fantastic we have free reign to waste as much time as possible in all of these circumstances which

01:08:54.580 means round and round we go but hopefully that this can get pushed through and you can start getting

01:08:59.300 criminals en masse out of your country because i don't think having south american murdered rape

01:09:04.820 gangs in america is a good thing shocking but that's where the aclu and i disagree on something i have

01:09:11.220 a radical right-wing perspective murder rape gangs are not good i know right i know but here's the

01:09:16.180 information where the media on mass i've got this nbc article up because it's representative but

01:09:22.500 lots and lots of places nbc cnn new york times all of them at the same time have gone you can't use

01:09:30.340 these tattoos to identify gang members just because all of the gang members have these same tattoos

01:09:37.220 and so so let's take a little read of this so uh robert cerner the acting field office director of

01:09:43.300 enforcement and removals of immigration and customs enforcement said in the sworn declaration

01:09:47.220 on monday that officials did not solely rely on tattoos to identify the deportees as alleged gang

01:09:53.220 members i would imagine they did something like also say well you've got the tattoos all of your

01:09:58.580 friends are also members of this gang therefore you're probably a member of this gang they've not

01:10:04.820 released more information about what they used to identify them but i would imagine the process was

01:10:10.180 something like that all of your associates are gang members you dress like them you have the same

01:10:14.740 tattoos you're probably a gang it's just such a weird coincidence as well it's not like it's ethel

01:10:18.820 on a bloody council estate up in bradford or birmingham or something no no no you know if if you know

01:10:24.660 little old lady has this tattoo and be like okay probably not connected to the gang for some reason

01:10:29.940 she just happened to get a tattoo that looks exactly like the gang tattoo right but if it no it's

01:10:34.100 central european uh central american migrants who are just hanging out with all of these gang members

01:10:39.700 and i just happen to have the gang tattoo too what coincidence right what what were the odds well

01:10:43.540 i've not committed any crimes that i've been caught for in the country so far i've not got a record yet

01:10:48.340 so there you go there's no nothing wrong with it if you but the thing is you would have to be an

01:10:52.420 absolute moron to be like okay i know that this gang identifies as a tattoo i just really like the

01:10:57.940 tattoo i just really want the tattoo just like one of my one of my favorite harry's gonna have a viking

01:11:04.340 tattoo and they're not gonna mix it and harry's gonna go to el salvador yeah just sorry no sympathy

01:11:10.580 you're a moron one of my favorites was that they um they one of the articles i think it was maybe the

01:11:16.260 independent basically got in touch with a load of tattoo artists who were saying wait these are tattoos

01:11:21.540 that i did and they were saying basically well he didn't say it was gang related when i was giving

01:11:26.500 you the tattoo oh no shit so why this is an interesting knife you're getting on

01:11:33.220 standing around yeah yeah like you're going to be laying there getting the tattoo just like oh

01:11:37.220 yeah i'm a murderer actually yeah yeah i just want to i had to know that's just like oh that's

01:11:42.660 interesting and carries on i mean come on come on how desperate do you have to get so carrying on

01:11:48.420 family members attorneys saying are the the inkings in question indicate the men are sports fans or

01:11:55.380 family men okay they believe their clients and deported relatives were falsely accused

01:12:00.660 and targeted because of their tattoos and it's not the case according to rona risquez an expert on

01:12:08.340 the group trend aragua who authored the spanish language book the gang that revolutionized organized

01:12:14.900 crime in latin america yeah let's get more of those guys in she says to be a member of one of these

01:12:20.500 venezuelan organizations you don't need a tattoo you can have no tattoos and still be part of the

01:12:27.060 gang you can also have a tattoo that members other members of the organization so yeah you don't need

01:12:33.380 the tattoo to get in the gang it just so happens that ice and other federal agencies in the u.s

01:12:40.740 have noticed all of the members of this gang happen to have these tattoos but you don't need them

01:12:46.900 you don't need them says ronna risquez who were going to take her word over everybody else's

01:12:53.780 because law enforcement and immigration officials across the nation have linked several tattoos to

01:12:57.940 them stars on shoulders crowns firearms grenades trains dice predatory felines gas masks clocks

01:13:04.820 the illuminati sign and the jersey number 23 which basketball players including michael jordan and

01:13:11.460 lebron james made famous so that's where they're just sports fans bro they just have firearms grenades

01:13:18.340 trains dice tattoos all over them and also the 23 mate what family man doesn't have that tattooed all

01:13:25.700 over them other tattooed phrases law enforcement says are associated with the gang include uh something

01:13:30.980 that translates to sons of god and uh something that translates to real until death also something

01:13:36.900 funny el salvador i believe when they've been getting these people into uh into their prisons

01:13:43.060 have been giving them the ms-13 treatment good which is filming them being richly humiliated which

01:13:49.620 yeah if you're a rape murder drug gang no sympathy mate i'm sorry unsympathetic to that yeah yeah and

01:13:57.540 uh here's an example of the kind of tattoos they've been using to identify these members of the gang now

01:14:01.780 this salutes me or shoots me average family man yeah average family man right here so again it's a

01:14:10.340 shame and it's annoying that these groups these courts are trying to block these deportations

01:14:19.540 because they desperately are needed when again these gangs are dangerous enough that they will just go into

01:14:24.980 an apartment block take the place over and turn it into a haven for criminals that's not the kind of

01:14:30.020 thing that leads to a stable civilization that's the sort of thing that leads to i don't know el salvador

01:14:36.020 up until two years ago and that's not the kind of country you want to be living in so i hope that

01:14:42.100 these can get put through the court properly i hope that these people can be taken out of the country

01:14:47.540 appropriately because you don't want these in the country harry i just looking at this i see it says

01:14:53.700 there amor es dolor and i just typed it and says love is pain so just imagine and it's maybe they

01:15:00.900 made a mistake here just i don't know if it's a gum guy he's deeply nietzschean that's what this is he's

01:15:06.660 just a big philosophy fan so it says love is pain salute me or shoot me love for the dead you've got the

01:15:13.060 crown on there you've got dollar signs mob whatever that means another crown money mob oh yeah that's what

01:15:20.820 oh yeah oh yeah yeah mob stupid i just assumed that it was an initials for something but yeah

01:15:28.500 i look at this guy i'm walking down the street this guy presumably topless uh is walking along i'm

01:15:34.900 crossing i'm i'm getting to the other side of the road because this guy is obviously a criminal it's

01:15:40.420 the same thing they tried to do with ms 13 just because they have a tattoo on them that says rape

01:15:45.540 murder kill doesn't mean that they're a gang member yes they're obviously i can see why left is

01:15:51.220 a falling for it because if he's wearing clothes only love is pain is going to show so they think that

01:15:56.260 he has a sensitive side they think he's a poet yeah anyway there you go we've got one rumble rant

01:16:01.620 through uh from bald eagle 1787 saying the biggest obstacles for trump and mayors and governors refusing

01:16:06.820 to aid the deportations and rogue judges anything regarding member numbers from biden's admin are suspect

01:16:13.060 at best i wouldn't even necessarily distrust the numbers from biden it's just a lot easier when

01:16:17.540 you've got the whole system already working for you and are letting millions of people through

01:16:21.780 every year that you can just kick straight back out again to pump the numbers up let's go to video

01:16:26.260 comments well if you want something that was written by a millennial but doesn't have millennial writing

01:16:32.980 style please there you go star warriors assembling and saving the world in the axon saga and read

01:16:42.580 final flight of the ranaga the epic sci-fi fantasy its sequel is in development go to cscooper.com.au

01:16:50.820 and use the promo code save harry for a 20 discount i'm just saying these are my favorite kind of adverts

01:16:58.260 yeah there you go i i knew that somehow you'd turn me disparaging netflix shows into an advertising

01:17:04.340 opportunity but you know take everything you can get man yeah i respect it incorrigible frog says

01:17:09.380 just upgraded to gold tier lads thank you for coming aboard uh expect video comments from the second

01:17:14.660 city of the empire that of course being glasgow cheers for all you do and i am looking forward to

01:17:19.060 video comments from glasgow like that's that's gonna be a good thing please just do an irl walking

01:17:24.500 through the street yeah let's go i'd be interested i've never been to glasgow i i went to glasgow it

01:17:28.980 was okay about five years ago it was okay but i wasn't there for very long i've been to edinburgh

01:17:34.580 a few times yeah that's a lovely city uh omar's uh we got another rant from dragon lady chris saying

01:17:40.820 let's see if i have this straight gang members can't be judged on the basis of tattoos but pete

01:17:45.380 hegseth can have i got this right yes yes omar says i don't think politicians believe there are

01:17:52.500 media psyops about trump being an unreasonable psychopath but they are incredibly risk averse

01:17:57.460 even if they know it's a bluff or a power play none of them want to gamble with the don he's

01:18:01.620 too unpredictable and keeps his real cards close to his chest to be honest with you i mean yeah it

01:18:06.340 seems it seems that trump's just telegraphing exactly what he's doing very clearly just like look

01:18:12.740 just be friends and we're not going to punish you like the see the the white house uh twitter feed

01:18:19.860 so like stop resisting and you'll be fine it's like jesus christ sounds like something bane would

01:18:25.540 say from dark knight right it's crazy but the point is i think trump is telegraphing his intentions

01:18:31.300 pretty clearly he wants to screw china yeah okay uh jimbo says uh whatever you think of the trump

01:18:38.100 tariffs uh he believes he has the mandate of heaven at this point and that probably actually isn't a good

01:18:42.500 thing in real terms i don't know man i mean i guess we'll we'll see right like it's it's been less than a

01:18:47.460 week so i'm looking forward to seeing what actually happens more than this yeah yankee from two weeks

01:18:52.020 ahead says i've long viewed the tariffs as a way to isolate china and that there is a need to return

01:18:56.980 them to another century of shame uh yeah i mean trump seems to have been completely clear about wanting

01:19:02.740 to isolate china for a long time so i don't know why we would think that he's walking that back

01:19:08.660 d'urgeny says when trump tried to negotiate with other countries for making policy they dragged their feet

01:19:13.780 whined and complained and nothing got done now they have come to the table because they want the

01:19:18.260 deal because he created a game state where the bureaucratic slowness and petty governments results

01:19:23.220 in an unfavorable deal this is a very clever and is much more honest form of negotiation yeah that's

01:19:27.700 another thing as well like trump has asked nicely for all of the uh partners to do various things and

01:19:33.620 now he's just telling them i'm not even against it i'm just like yeah no just whip them into into

01:19:39.460 gear make them actually do something because he's completely right this sort of bureaucratic inertia

01:19:45.940 will make it so that nothing ever happens and uh he obviously wants something to happen matt says

01:19:50.740 trading short-term success for long-term success is exactly is the exact kind of attitude we've been

01:19:54.980 severely lacking in the west for the better part of a century and my god isn't that true that's just

01:20:00.100 democracy yeah it's insufferable uh furious dan says if i hear right uh trump's blanket 10 percent

01:20:06.340 tariffs are still in place which feels like the textbook big ask strategy uh they're ultimately

01:20:12.180 i'm torn since i know uh since i know of small u.s businesses that are suddenly in dire straits when

01:20:17.620 the original tariffs were out announced yes as with brexit as with all these things i think it will be

01:20:22.980 painful and unfortunately it looks like there's no other choice well narevar says reiterating

01:20:29.220 tariffs are an unfortunate necessity uh this is a solution to a problem that shouldn't have been

01:20:33.860 solved three decades ago and for which no resolution taken today will be painless this is worth it uh

01:20:40.100 yeah that that seems to be the consensus uh from people who are not like benny johnson defiant types

01:20:48.980 and people who are just pathologically against trump eric says jess is just mad because i'm not reading that

01:20:56.820 jimbo says jess is one of those accelerationist feminists who personally benefits from an increase

01:21:05.060 in depravity towards women because it vindicates her view of men as a class in general i'm not saying

01:21:10.180 it's deliberate i think she's a midwit out of the depth uh that is something they've been trying to

01:21:14.020 do is uh expand and abstract well yes rape is bad and all rape is bad and therefore this rape is the

01:21:21.140 same as any other kind of rape it's like okay well well what what they like to do is uh they love

01:21:25.700 demographics on gender lines and they love to split demographics up on gender lines no other no other

01:21:33.860 metrics yeah not allowed any other metrics a somewhere person says i get fed up of the no u-turns allowed

01:21:39.300 trap in politics if someone does something people don't like they're slated if they reverse that move

01:21:43.940 the same people will bash them for caving or taking a u-turn there's no pleasing them why even try to

01:21:48.500 on the actual tariffs perspective pausing them makes sense regardless of the economic position

01:21:52.740 of the earth that day if someone wants to negotiate why keep hammering them until the deals are thrashed

01:21:56.660 out it's a case of rewarding the behavior that you want to see yeah that's how i interpreted it as

01:22:01.140 well i saw again the midwits over the newsagents being like oh he's caved he's caved it's the weak

01:22:05.540 thing it's like yeah but if they all came begging for a negotiation then yeah you can suspend it why

01:22:10.260 wouldn't why wouldn't you i mean to be fair to stelios stelios said that he thought that they caved but

01:22:15.300 said that it's a good thing that he's actually able to respond to that kind of pressure himself

01:22:22.180 no i i said that i said that he caved after he saw what happened in the bond market yes yeah yeah

01:22:28.980 and i'm saying if i remember you said that that's a good thing it's good it's a good thing if someone

01:22:34.340 is is sensitive to what's happening around him yeah uh garlic goblin says on the plus side i guess it

01:22:42.420 means less than four years of having to hear about jess phillips she'll probably stand down

01:22:47.060 before 2029 save the humiliation and then she'll probably get a job outside of politics i hope she

01:22:52.260 doesn't i i hope she doesn't i i hope that she's too proud yeah i i hope we get some amazing clips of

01:22:59.620 her in 2029 as she's getting you know great replaced yep i mean i i how she responds a wise person would

01:23:08.020 say okay this has become untenable and i should make appropriate arrangements to parachute myself

01:23:15.140 out of it or perhaps an inquiry should be made oh maybe maybe 10 years from now or maybe just

01:23:20.980 importing a billion muslims to replace your voters and your constituency wasn't a good idea but the um

01:23:27.460 i don't feel that she's wise would you imagine if she tried to pander to them and starts coming out

01:23:32.420 well she is in well no no even more even more like full-on humiliation ritual style comes out in

01:23:38.900 a hijab yeah and to the rainers sat amongst all those muslim men comes out in a hijab starts trying

01:23:44.260 to recite prayer to them i think that'd be amazing yeah he comes out and starts singing islamic songs

01:23:52.580 i went on our immigration today on reddit and there's lots of immigrants on there complaining

01:23:56.660 about them or their families being deported by ice seems that they're winning on that front well

01:24:00.820 that's good and i think the important thing and this is what the border crossing show is the chill

01:24:05.140 effect yeah okay even if you're physically not removing that many the fact that the rest of them

01:24:10.580 like oh no they are actually trying to get rid of us now okay we're not gonna bother uh is worth this

01:24:14.980 way in gold uh hector says trump used that cbp app to tell all 950 000 illegals the status was revoked

01:24:23.860 and to self-deport a good start yeah that is a good start um arizona desert rat says there have been

01:24:29.940 fewer people trying to cross the border illegally since trump has been in office there have also

01:24:33.220 been people voluntarily deporting themselves yeah i know and that's good that's absolutely fantastic

01:24:38.340 people who are taking advantage will go the funny thing is i covered that um new york times article

01:24:44.740 right before the beginning of the year i think it was where they were talking about all of these

01:24:48.660 people who were going to be threatened by donald trump by the fact that he didn't want them sending

01:24:52.180 all of their remittances back as well because he's like well if you're earning money in america spend it

01:24:56.340 in america and uh they all they're all such great nationalists for their home countries they all have

01:25:02.580 such great lives and so many friends and family in their home countries they all have earned so much

01:25:07.460 that they basically have mansions in their home countries because of how worthless their home

01:25:12.900 currency is so yeah what's so bad about going home well a lot of them are now looking at it and going

01:25:19.540 hold up actually actually i can have an amazing quality of life back home yeah i mean they literally could

01:25:24.740 live like kings and i don't know why they don't but you know the next comment is on the pakistani

01:25:29.460 subreddit i didn't realize there was a pakistani subreddit of course i'm gonna have to go look

01:25:33.300 this up after the podcast that there are posts dissuading other pakistanis from moving to the uk

01:25:38.740 see i told you writing them letters was a good idea right one user said the pakistanis in birmingham

01:25:43.540 were possibly the most backward and possibly the most conservative community i've ever seen with trash

01:25:48.900 everywhere and not a woman in sight because obviously they must have been trapped in their homes ending

01:25:53.780 with it's such a bad combination of all the worst parts of pakistani societies into one city if the

01:25:59.220 other pakistanis see the pakistanis in britain as bad then we really have problems don't worry you

01:26:04.260 don't need so many screenshots i'm gonna go right right this is amazing which one of you has started

01:26:08.820 an account calling yourself a pakistani on reddit and started posting demoralization propaganda

01:26:15.220 to their subreddit which i know it was one of you and good job good work it's it's like the guy who

01:26:21.540 posts who signs up to the transgender subreddit and then post pictures of real women yeah beautiful

01:26:26.980 real women and say look how good i look after the operation oh that's harsh that's harsh i mean

01:26:32.100 i i believe that that is true because we've had lots of islamic countries basically laughing at us

01:26:36.980 going yeah keep taking our filth please yeah yeah roman observer says in the modern age inverers wear

01:26:43.060 the mask invaders wear the mask of immigrants and refugees elect their own foreign representatives when

01:26:47.620 there are our constituencies use organized crime to control their colonies as feudal lords

01:26:52.660 yeah yeah i mean they literally operate slave markets and slavery in leicester east

01:26:58.980 there's less south i can't remember which one it was uh arizona desert rat says if it walks like a

01:27:02.900 duck and quats like a duck it must be a chicken uh nick says i have a flaming skull brandishing two

01:27:08.260 pistols on my forearm never been in a gang and i'm a family man also volunteer emt in a fiber a bush

01:27:13.060 fire brigade upstanding gentleman if i do say something myself yeah but it doesn't say murder

01:27:17.140 kill rape in spanish right and all of your ms13 and all of your friends don't happen to be violent

01:27:23.620 gang members with the same tattoos as well do they or do they nick well yeah i mean that's the thing

01:27:30.740 nick didn't say the way did he there that's true um omar says don't judge the criminal gang

01:27:36.260 member by his cover that's mean also pay for your ancestral crimes white oppressor yeah exactly right

01:27:41.300 this this oh you're you're just blanket suggesting that central american or south american guys who've

01:27:47.540 got a bunch of really spicy tattoos are all just gang members pay my reparations it's like

01:27:52.820 shut up i you know if you're collectively judging us we are going to collect going to collectively

01:27:59.060 judge you and ultimately the collective judgment on us is demeaning but our collective judgment on you

01:28:05.780 saves lives so our collective judgment is coming from well we can obviously see that you're all
