00:00:53.240 thank you very much luis brother lewis do you want to start with your segment shall we

00:00:58.260 okay so as many of you has probably seen uh over the internet the past few days a particular

00:01:06.500 young girl has been going viral on the internet um from a girl from dundee a small kind of town in

00:01:15.720 scotland um where i don't know you don't really hear much coming out of dundee that much do you

00:01:21.440 well i mean i've heard a lot about it but that's only because my dad lived in scotland and it's

00:01:27.240 scottish right okay well i don't hear much coming out from dundee so this is quite uh quite a big

00:01:33.200 story um i visited it just 20 years ago oh you've been there yeah yeah oh i've never i've never been

00:01:38.620 there i've been to glasgow and edinburgh but that's about it remember good bagpipe sounds oh nice i love

00:01:44.440 i do like the bagpipe sounds great yeah yeah there was a bagpiper playing on swindon high street

00:01:49.880 and basically all of the diversity thinned out and it was just just the sound of pride

00:01:55.980 the actual one you know it was wonderful well speaking of diversity we're going to talk about

00:02:02.820 dundee's diversities dial sorry i can't even say it three times dundee's diversity dilemma is what

00:02:10.620 we're going to be talking about so we're not obviously going to be playing the video but if

00:02:14.560 you would like to go and seek it for yourself i think you can because it's still online uh obviously

00:02:19.640 we have to say for legal reasons uh obviously we don't endorse um you know anything that's you know

00:02:27.100 going on here we're doing this for journalistic purposes today on this podcast um so we won't be

00:02:32.960 playing the video for obvious reasons um but the video does contain uh two girls uh i believe one is

00:02:39.820 the age of 14 the other i'm not 100 sure 12 maybe or around the sort of similar age they seem about

00:02:46.480 the same age don't they where a gentleman who doesn't speak uh english he approaches them with

00:02:53.000 a camera and there is a lot of um commotion between the two girls and this particular gentleman

00:02:59.060 and there is shouting there's confrontation saying don't touch us again please don't touch us before

00:03:07.680 one of the young girls uh brandishes a an axe and a knife to quite clearly try to intimidate the

00:03:16.440 person who keeps approaching them um and that that video has gone viral uh completely i believe on this

00:03:23.680 alone uh has garnered 18.4 million views on x alone so it's really done the rounds and the americans have

00:03:33.380 picked it up um but here's the official news story from the daily record uh she has been arrested for

00:03:40.140 brandishing uh these weapons it says teen girl charged after reportedly seen uh with bladed weapon

00:03:46.640 on scotts streets uh they were called police scotland were called to the incident in dundee on saturday

00:03:53.760 as you can see there um teenage girls have been charged by police after allegedly being caught

00:03:59.820 brandishing uh a bladed weapon in the middle of the street uh the school girl was identified after

00:04:04.980 officers were called to the city's um locky area on saturday evening i hope i pronounced that right

00:04:11.020 um but then of course because of this story um it's done the rounds in the internet as we've seen

00:04:18.640 18.4 million views and the americans have got involved and after that we've started to see of course

00:04:25.120 lots of lots of different things happening where memes are being created um and it's kind of becoming

00:04:32.280 this i don't know it's seen as kind of a an act of i want to say rebellion almost on online spaces

00:04:40.560 spontaneous resistance yes this is meant to look like the scottish saltire isn't it the flag yes

00:04:45.500 it's the same extent it's the same colors you know it almost looks like they're crossing over i mean if i

00:04:51.780 were to design it i would have done that made it made it look like it was the flag but there we go

00:04:56.280 any thoughts so far gentlemen yeah well i think it it speaks of the extent of the problem that young

00:05:04.480 girls feel the need to have to brandish weapons in the first place exactly and of course it's a bit

00:05:10.920 strange that they've got access to them you know i wouldn't have imagined a 14 year old girl would have

00:05:15.880 a big knife and an axe handy but then you don't we don't really know the context of what happened

00:05:22.580 outside of that and i doubt we probably will because you know they're miners and there's certain

00:05:28.160 protection laws around the details of the case and things like that absolutely yeah um but it sounds

00:05:33.980 like from the video at least that there was some degree of history there and you would imagine that

00:05:40.100 these sorts of things right are so unwieldy that you wouldn't necessarily go around carrying them

00:05:45.080 on your person just in case things come about is one thing for you know the machete gangs to have

00:05:51.020 a machete but to have two two large weapons basically as a as a small girl i would be surprised if she

00:05:59.660 hadn't brought them out in response to something but of course this is only speculation yeah absolutely

00:06:04.460 i think there's a growing feeling that the the police isn't going to say to to protect people

00:06:11.540 yeah sure and that go uh that uh goes definitely flows to to young children as well it has especially

00:06:19.240 because they have access to social media and this was a video and josh you're correct there was

00:06:25.580 definitely context that we can't access sure without uh you know more footage but if you know i heard some

00:06:35.000 people you know some people just said yeah obviously this is someone who is chasing chasing young

00:06:41.140 girls and there were some people who tried to say no we don't see the whole context i think if if it

00:06:48.680 were the case that this person didn't have bad intentions he wouldn't just be chasing chasing them

00:06:55.320 all the time he'd just leave yeah well you wouldn't be able to get to that scenario where she has to

00:07:00.980 brandish weapons to get rid of him and why would you be approaching some young girls filming them

00:07:05.900 as well that's weird especially when they don't want to be filmed as well they expressly said so

00:07:10.200 so that speaks of malicious intentions on the part of the person doing it i mean that's pretty sure as

00:07:15.920 well isn't filming minors like that um that's that's that's an offense as well least suspicious it

00:07:23.040 should be if it's not yeah i mean it's weird without their consent as well what a stupid person also

00:07:29.100 because he basically incriminated himself well yeah he recorded the video of him being creepy

00:07:34.540 yeah yeah i think it goes to show that many of the people coming here they aren't even aware that what

00:07:39.660 they're doing is wrong because they only have their own culture as a frame of reference yeah and uh they

00:07:45.180 can't even conceive of the notion of not being a weird gross pervert and only not only that but there

00:07:50.860 is this enforced multiculturalism that is that says like unconditionally you have to celebrate every

00:07:57.520 other culture and tolerate every other culture yeah as if that makes sense i'm not going to

00:08:01.900 celebrate somali pirates thanks well i i did put out a tweet unfortunately i didn't have it in the

00:08:08.200 segment i actually didn't think about putting it in but i very modest i can very modest man oh yeah

00:08:13.800 yes please i put like this basically the latest tweet i put up saying you know if i actually don't

00:08:20.580 want to i want to say it properly if you can get it yeah that'd be great um but to put it into context

00:08:26.540 elon musk liked it which i was taken back by he said something about it didn't he oh he liked your

00:08:32.380 post he liked the post yeah and that put it quite high up in the timeline because he liked it and it

00:08:38.620 got i think over 24 000 likes from that i mean i was like okay that's a bit mad um well it speaks of

00:08:46.420 something capturing the zeitgeist doesn't it yes that people are concerned about it right let me

00:08:52.020 right here oh in 12 year old samson i'm gonna send it to you right now thank you by the way we

00:09:00.620 have a super chat and ramble rants that are open so here here it is just at the bottom i sent it to

00:09:09.140 you samson uh if 12 year old girls feel the need to carry axes and knives to protect themselves on the

00:09:14.940 streets of the uk uh at what point do liberals and progressive concede that their multicultural

00:09:21.580 experiment hasn't worked very reasonable yeah they'll never do so and also the question is you

00:09:27.660 know how many people must be abused in what in any way for multiculturalists to admit that there's a

00:09:37.420 problem and the answer is yeah i think um i think the point because some basically the majority of

00:09:43.400 the comments were um well they're never concede they will never ever concede and i know hard limit

00:09:50.140 on the number of children that the left are willing to sacrifice on the altar of diversity exactly yeah

00:09:55.320 and and that is totally correct i think because now x x has changed so much you can actually make

00:10:03.780 these points and it will go to their the top of their timeline so i think the point was to basically

00:10:09.940 put that on their timelines to make them go actually maybe we should change our mind and the whole

00:10:15.800 multicultural uh ideology um and hopefully that's worked in some way uh so obviously this story has

00:10:24.960 become a bit of a meme um and of course lots of different ai and you know uh paintings as well

00:10:32.320 this friend of the show linehan posting when you realize there are no adults in the room and

00:10:36.600 obviously uh this is becoming or has become a kind of um message of quote resistance to a lot of

00:10:46.100 people in the online sphere um you know once again doing the uh is it how's moving castle is it

00:10:54.440 um spirited away what's his name again studio ghibli studio ghibli that's it um of course they did

00:11:01.560 that of course they did that yeah um but it's also like you you can examine it like a phenomenon it's

00:11:07.940 it is a phenomenon if a large amount of the population feels unsafe yeah yeah and feels that

00:11:14.360 the establishment isn't protecting them they will try to protect themselves it's a purely descriptive

00:11:20.360 statement i mean i don't feel safe in britain anymore and i'm a you know a big bloke who's young

00:11:26.080 enough to be able to stand up for himself i dread to think how you know women feel and particularly

00:11:31.000 young girls that are that young um well reddit has um reddit has uh obviously talked about it and

00:11:42.760 what's been going on and unfortunately uh well a lot of people have their own opinions on what's going

00:11:49.060 on i don't think i can say too much but a lot of people are are obviously really you know um frustrated

00:11:55.980 but as well there is a kind of a brewing debate online about this entire situation i have a look

00:12:02.060 at what some of the comments are saying because uh it's always interesting because it's like a bell

00:12:06.640 weather for what the left thinks reddit it's like a hive of scum and villainy to borrow from star wars

00:12:11.600 um yeah it's just them talking about how yeah we have how it looks we have two comments here neon

00:12:19.460 realist says uh any government's prime duty is the safety of its people if a little girl feels the

00:12:24.660 need to carry knives they have failed their basic obligation absolutely yeah exactly um well if you

00:12:34.780 didn't know already dundee actually has a university of sanctuary status i don't know if you guys knew about

00:12:40.460 that uh do you do you know about city of sanctuary uh i thought i did but please do explain it yeah

00:12:46.580 it's a type of initiative that um you know some of us like me charlotte gill have been trying to look

00:12:54.000 into um what it actually is and what they're doing i think it was in the news very recently that there

00:12:59.960 had been these schemes coordinated with this particular organization called city of sanctuary sanctuary

00:13:06.200 being the new progressive term for um essentially welcoming uh you know illegal migrants or refugees

00:13:14.920 or whoever it's like sanctuary cities in the states of the u.s exactly exactly um but basically brought

00:13:21.780 over to the uk and uh well it turns out dundee has a university of sanctuary status um and yeah i thought

00:13:32.360 it was very interesting to throw in uh as well uh someone put in the comments but lewis those 12 year

00:13:37.100 old girls don't know that my chart says it's so much safer than before that's obviously fraser nelson

00:13:42.300 um which famously at one point uh said i would make the rather unpopular argument that this is an

00:13:49.860 amazing country and broadly speaking there's never been a better time to live in it i don't know i'd

00:13:54.900 rather live in the 19th century at this point yeah um at least i actually had a chance to have have a

00:14:00.460 good life yeah absolutely um what's sad is um a lot of people a lot of the commentators in the sort of

00:14:08.920 the containment right or uh you know the liberal left as well and liberal right um seem to be almost

00:14:17.000 i don't know why i don't know why cherry picking data and then making it out to seem like nothing is

00:14:24.420 wrong is really quite insidious because clearly something is wrong that's part of my third segment

00:14:32.520 today i think that they're interested in appearing as problem solvers without actually solving problems

00:14:38.020 because that's how they justify their positions in the state basically yeah true you need a perennial

00:14:44.680 justification for extra coercion and for the necessity for becoming a total state

00:14:50.760 yeah so i think that what's going on here is that it's the sort of blairite thing of you redefine

00:14:59.060 how you measure something and all of a sudden you get much better results it's funny that

00:15:02.880 if you redefine what a crime is or the police don't even bother seeing someone and registering a crime

00:15:08.840 all of a sudden the crime data looks better but actually if you measure it properly it's obviously

00:15:14.440 got worse because people can subjectively feel it which means there's a significant increase you can change

00:15:20.020 the definition of poverty and say no one is poor that's why they do it that's why they do it um

00:15:25.960 the exact opposite way they try to say we're all rich let's tax us to fund everyone else

00:15:31.780 exactly well it's funny that the center of migration control actually came out with the

00:15:37.240 brand new statistics uh between 2021 to 2024 um 75k non-summary convictions of foreign nationals

00:15:46.000 uh 62 percent increase in sexual offense uh convictions 77 percent increase in theft uh convictions these are

00:15:55.440 convictions you know so that's actually you know the the bitter end of what's of what's happened

00:16:02.060 they have been pronounced they have been pronounced guilty yeah um 19 percent increase in robbery

00:16:08.520 convictions 105 percent increase in criminal damage convictions so i think is it fair to say that

00:16:15.940 fraser nelson is wrong yeah i would say that that is if if it were a graph it should look basically

00:16:22.560 like a straight line going straight up i need to be careful how i did that didn't i almost did the

00:16:29.280 wrong hand yeah let me ask you brother lewis about this do you think that fraser how likely do you think

00:16:35.080 that is it that fraser nelson will concede will use the economic argument and say all crime is based on

00:16:42.340 economic inequalities therefore we need to tax you extra in order to fund these groups i've got this

00:16:48.240 idea actually stelios why don't we open up more youth centers right and that will just ymca problem

00:16:53.960 ymcas um we can get did you see the schools of sanctuary thing where they sent valentine's cards to

00:17:00.540 migrants do you see that yeah horrified what if we just sent more valentine's cards then you know

00:17:05.460 things would just be fixed yeah yeah there you go so if he if he you know proceeds to say something

00:17:13.020 like that and use that argument did you also see that there was an article that was that um

00:17:19.860 was released saying that people in hotels you know asylum seekers within hotels feel bad

00:17:27.420 oh they feel uh anxious yes oh yes i did obviously this this lass felt anxious as well

00:17:35.060 but who's going to talk about it yeah nothing only concerned mothers and the anxieties of them and

00:17:41.000 their children in the area i suppose all those muslims that were asked to stash their weapons in the

00:17:44.600 mosques last year they were just anxious they were just really you know worried about the state of

00:17:51.060 their local area well not only are the stats quite well i say quite revealing extremely revealing and

00:17:59.220 people like fraser nelson um on the containment right are wrong completely wrong the rhetoric has

00:18:06.780 changed drastically when you have articles by even sky news um and this is from sky news saying is it time

00:18:14.860 for gunboats to help stop the people smugglers and that is like insane i i presume that sky news

00:18:24.420 doesn't necessarily mean that it should the gunboats should use their guns but more that it's an

00:18:30.380 intimidation tactic to yeah get shot of them right yeah pick them up and send them off elsewhere could

00:18:35.660 we open this article up and just have a little read just to be sure please thank you um so with the

00:18:42.260 pm's and labor's poll numbers um tanking as the latest official figures confirm the number of

00:18:47.760 migrants and small boat crossings uh are increasing at a shocking rate is it now time for a different

00:18:53.200 approach and it's like oh sorry um sorry i've really messed that up it's all right uh thank you

00:19:00.860 if we just go down here um curbing the power of judges in asylum cases to tackle the migrant hotel crisis

00:19:09.080 is a typical care style response to a problem uh the former director of public prosecutions will

00:19:14.280 appear to see overhauling court procedures and the legal process as the answer to any tricky

00:19:19.580 situation uh welcome is worthy to smash the gangs uh of course not um even those who don't agree

00:19:28.720 with no for ours's apparent indifference in his times interview this week uh sent back to

00:19:34.060 afghanistan taliban radical measures forgive me i'm just skimming through uh it's surprisingly

00:19:43.120 reasonable so far so far from sky news as well who can be very egregious yeah saying so is border

00:19:50.740 force fit for purpose question i uh saw something from sky news recently to put it into perspective

00:19:55.540 that was talking about how notting hill carnival is all about resisting racism oh right i then saw some

00:20:02.180 interesting videos which did not uh did not fight against racist stereotypes i'm trying to find

00:20:09.920 where um the navy's primary role he added was to safeguard maritime security including monitoring

00:20:16.340 and shattering foreign warships in british waters it's the equivalent of saying that the borders must

00:20:21.680 be guarded and the borders aren't only land borders there can be seas that separates countries i'm just

00:20:28.600 super surprised that someone like an institution or you know uh a funded institution like sky news

00:20:35.920 um is is is quoting an article in that way like they don't just put they don't it's not like um is it

00:20:46.080 time to deploy the navy in the channel you know that would be probably the the better way to approach

00:20:50.960 i can't believe that i'm hall monitoring sky news here what's going on what is going on you've been

00:20:56.360 flanked but like i was actually really quite surprised and like my eyes widened when i read

00:21:03.300 that caption i was like really they're actually like wording it like that but it shows that the

00:21:09.720 rhetoric and everything is changing at such a rapid pace and that's why you're seeing phenomenons like

00:21:15.220 online with what we were covering today in the segment with the the scottish girl so it's quite

00:21:21.300 fascinating any thoughts gentlemen it's very i think that we are in a state in a situation where

00:21:28.380 there is there needs to be de-escalation and the responsibility for it burns burdens the shoulders

00:21:35.880 of the state they have created a situation that is turning into a powder keg and they have to de-escalate

00:21:43.300 it yeah for sure i don't think that they're going to do that though they're going to make it worse

00:21:48.160 i mean the labor party are my sort of favorite accelerationists they're making things worse

00:21:53.100 but all it's doing is increasing the pressure and strengthening the potential reaction in the

00:21:58.680 future that's all that's going on here and i think that it speaks of how far things have come that

00:22:02.860 not only are people lionizing a young girl brandishing weapons which you know i think there's

00:22:09.640 a conflicting moral question there but also sky news is talking about deploying gunboats i mean it's like

00:22:17.100 woke up in a parallel world isn't it where um things perhaps are going in the maybe a good

00:22:25.160 corrective direction to the the the generacy of the past i hope indeed um well i guess you know in terms

00:22:36.000 of what happens next i think this story is still obviously continuing um so we don't know what's going

00:22:43.020 to happen next obviously this is a live investigation so you know can't comment on that too too much

00:22:47.960 further but it's fascinating to watch uh not just of course the reaction to this particular story but

00:22:56.560 also from overseas taking it you know uh obviously americans find it you know incomprehensible that uh

00:23:06.080 actually no i'm not going to go down that route i'm not going to go down that route so we're going to

00:23:10.620 stop there uh but yeah that's that's it from me let's go to the comments here we have some super

00:23:16.420 chats and ramble runs xavier savior hard says good day lads don't forget there's going to be a country

00:23:22.800 wide pro australia protest on the 31st of august august keep your eyes open keep up the fight up there

00:23:29.320 lads the west must not fall thank you very much bass tape says i used to live near scum d i could tell you

00:23:35.480 some stories if i had a dundee bingo card little girls little girl fights off predator with an axe

00:23:41.860 would be on it and testing 2741 says when inevitably things get hot in the uk please message us in the

00:23:51.260 states to speak as your proxies clearly your government plans to shut down social media

00:23:55.880 certainly trying aren't they right so quite right mr white says communism socialism multiculturalism

00:24:02.480 you guys need to remember that you just have not embraced or implemented their policies

00:24:07.520 properly it's never been tried multiculturalism has never been tried um the engaged few says i'm

00:24:14.600 going to need someone to explain to me how economic inequality causes south africa explain it to me like

00:24:19.820 i'm five years old don't hold your breath this is any leftist text of the last 60 years

00:24:25.520 or more mike murphy tx says you can blame this guy's culture but arresting the girl shows this

00:24:32.420 is now acceptable in british culture well that's the that's the interesting thing isn't it and i think

00:24:37.780 that's the main reason why this phenomenon has happened is because um there's no talk of the person

00:24:44.060 who was filming it at all there's no even mention and yeah it needs to be mentioned because it's a

00:24:50.140 really weird thing and very bizarre scenario basically cornered them in a park i know they had a road

00:24:55.320 behind them but that's effectively cornering them right yeah but i think that it's it's a means of

00:25:01.460 demoralization and i wouldn't put it this way i don't think it's acceptable in british culture i think

00:25:06.540 that because there's a distinction between what the state does and what the culture supports many times

00:25:12.540 you have state and government action that is contrary to what the broader culture wants so just by

00:25:19.400 blaming the culture for something that for the operation of the establishment i'm really

00:25:24.660 sure i wouldn't say that british culture wants that or is okay with that so i always draw the

00:25:32.240 distinction between the government and the people and the culture so just that maybe that's just me

00:25:37.180 uh oh ph uk says let me ask you summon why are you filming little girls in a country you shouldn't be

00:25:43.620 in that's a really good question uh and here here hi

00:25:49.640 says germany stands with you gentlemen love love love love love love love thank you right

00:26:00.240 okay josh brother josh should we go through your segment what's with this brother thing it's funny

00:26:05.720 it's been to mount athos just makes me sound okay you're african-american you're no longer brother

00:26:12.780 josh thank you okay as long as i'm not sister there has to be there have to be consequences

00:26:17.800 so a couple claiming to be descendants of i suppose african royalty i guess have declared a scottish

00:26:29.920 woodland their kingdom they call it the kingdom of kabbalah and they say it is reparations for an

00:26:36.840 act of queen elizabeth the first over 400 years ago and they're currently camping in the woods near

00:26:42.400 um jedberg i think on the scottish border and here it is here's the actual town itself i'm not sure

00:26:48.860 which woods they're in um but here it is here's the scottish border there is england here is scotland

00:26:55.120 and i would guess um if i you know use my camping skills they're probably in this woods

00:27:01.140 um don't go and bother them that'd be weird um but i don't know why they're here of all places

00:27:08.300 it doesn't necessarily look like the kind of place where you would expect them to be right

00:27:12.780 and um i just don't don't get it like why are they there at all but anyway let's look at who they

00:27:21.180 are so oh it's not working why is my box not working because you because of your

00:27:29.100 there we go before is that them that's them oh so here's all three of them because they they have

00:27:35.300 a sort of cult thing going but it's only three of them because uh it's not taken off start of

00:27:39.700 something you know but that gentleman in the middle is there is he in a trance

00:27:44.820 yeah he's likely do you want this one does that one work yeah this one right try it again

00:27:53.040 oh that worked hang on yeah there we go here he is so for some reason he's got a stick in it

00:28:00.600 he's rolled his eyes back into his head so that makes him a king for some reason although are those

00:28:05.740 uh pine cones yes yeah um i don't understand interesting crown or not uh i think he can see

00:28:13.760 uh with his mind's eyes i i don't know i think he's rolling his eyes back but who knows i also

00:28:21.300 don't know why he's got a stick in his mouth i mean yeah has he seen a dog do that and he's jealous

00:28:25.380 or i don't know but this is this guy is called coffee offer um that's his name very scottish and he

00:28:33.440 styles himself as king atahihi of the north it's the it's your true king in the north here find out

00:28:40.600 about this is this like where did you what corners of the internet did you find this i dwell in dark

00:28:46.200 places and he claims descent from the messiah um of course and uh he previously the messiah that is

00:28:56.120 lived in stockton on tees as most messiahs do in county durham before moving to scotland and he's a

00:29:02.560 former opera singer um which you never would have guessed um surprising no one he has a history of

00:29:08.680 psychiatric hospital admission oh really i know what is your assessment on that job seems pretty

00:29:16.240 reasonable um another person involved in this is this lady this is his wife this is gene gashow she's

00:29:25.840 from zimbabwe he's from what gashow oh gashow um he's from ghana and she calls herself queen nandy

00:29:34.220 very modest people anointing themselves royalty she also um previously lived in durham county and she

00:29:41.600 complained about durham county council taking her seven children away by the way these people are

00:29:46.940 african and now our taxpayers have to support their seven children which they brought here from africa

00:29:54.560 because they were charged with child cruelty in 2023 but the charges were dropped

00:30:01.300 um and they were originally accused of child cruelty and domestic abuse as well so lovely people

00:30:07.440 so reward them for for that reward them for what do you mean reward them you said that the taxpayers are

00:30:14.960 sustaining them despite the fact that they were charged for child abuse well they weren't the charges

00:30:19.720 were dropped okay and the children have been taken into care that's why right and um yeah one thing that

00:30:27.900 they did say that she did say was she complained about one of her youngest children being placed

00:30:32.360 with a gay couple which is interesting right some food for thought you wouldn't have necessarily

00:30:36.880 guessed that but uh now for something a bit different the third lady also with a stick in

00:30:41.980 her mouth is number three yes um chaining command she is she's um she's like the handmaiden or the servant

00:30:50.280 to the king she has god tattooed on her arm but um she's also a wife of the king oh he's got a second

00:30:58.840 polygamy yeah well everyone knows the scots are a bit like that i'm not having a go half scottish right

00:31:05.500 um this is cora taylor uh from texas which is cori taylor lead singer of slipknot he's changed a bit

00:31:13.720 in the years um she calls herself lady safi or asnat and uh yes don't know how she can both be a wife

00:31:23.740 and a servant to the king as well she's a busy lady i guess um but you can see from the pictures

00:31:29.580 she is of a lower rank she has to sit on the dirty ground while they sit on what looks like probably

00:31:34.880 camping chairs with dirty tupperwares in the background this is truly a bountiful kingdom

00:31:40.020 it looks wonderful there's the grand hall and here she is oh in a modern tent in a modern tent with

00:31:47.420 what looks like a quite a a boutique pop-up manner makeup dress yes a makeup dresser yeah

00:31:54.480 oh that's hilarious got the stick in the mouth of course yeah i mean they've they've got a good

00:31:59.720 little bushcraft uh brush there i'll give them that although the blue gaffer tape there sort of

00:32:05.760 cheating i'd love to spend like a day with them actually and document that that'd be really fun

00:32:11.940 so that'd be really funny if you're watching this in the woods there reach out to me i want to come

00:32:18.520 and visit not only because i like camping but i think it'll be interesting i won't follow i'll join

00:32:23.420 i'll join that'd be funny so let's talk about what they believe um so here he is um iron brew

00:32:30.060 so he only talks to outsiders if he's given gifts of shortbread and iron brew

00:32:35.740 which is about as stereotypically scottish as it can possibly get the funny thing is my grandparents

00:32:43.380 you know it's a stereotype my grandparents i don't think ever uh

00:32:47.620 well without shortbread and iron brew in their house so i grew up on iron brew they changed the

00:32:54.700 formula is this mockery is this mockery is this like sly mockery i don't really know i don't think

00:33:01.620 so i think he's just a bit crazy um at least he's trying to become scottish i mean she's having a good

00:33:07.900 time she's like like in the interaction it's gonna get a bit of that shortbread right yeah she's like

00:33:13.020 that's a bit that sounds like a euphemism now i didn't even mean it that way um so they say they're

00:33:18.380 reclaiming the land after queen elizabeth i ordered the expulsion of the um black jacobites as they say

00:33:26.020 but really it was the black moors but we'll get into the history but this happened in 1596 where were

00:33:32.100 they at culloden we'll be getting to culloden as well actually okay good presaged well done you know

00:33:38.500 scottish history um so he says the prophecy foretold of their return for after 400 years to

00:33:45.500 re-establish their lost tribe of course 400 years ago there was a lost tribe in the scottish woodlands

00:33:52.620 the borderlands between england that just mysteriously no one documented despite being

00:33:57.440 probably the most interesting and unique thing of that scottish borderland is that hang on a minute

00:34:03.220 what are all these weird people doing that we don't understand but um he claims the land

00:34:08.260 belongs to god and not councils or governments i mean at least i agree with him on something

00:34:12.780 make me sound like a communist i mean it in the sense of you know i don't like the government um

00:34:19.280 but here's the letter that they're referencing from elizabeth the first

00:34:23.760 you probably will struggle to read that handwriting not insulting you know the late very late queens

00:34:31.380 i can't read that uh handwriting but here's a rough transcript there um it's obviously written in

00:34:38.060 the language of the time but basically it's saying you know please gather up all of these black moors

00:34:46.560 as she calls them as in more means north african so um what was actually going on was there was many

00:34:54.680 in england and they were basically becoming a financial burden because they had to be looked

00:34:58.820 after by the state some things never change um and were resorting to crime again uh some things

00:35:05.620 never change um they were also serving in wealthy households as footmen and musicians

00:35:11.020 and the queen herself retained a black maid servant as they were sort of seen as oddities and status

00:35:17.020 symbols as many aristocrats you know they would get um nice ornate vases and the like from the orient

00:35:23.000 and things like that where if you have something exotic it makes you more important basically it was

00:35:28.320 sort of that mindset but england was in a state of undeclared war with the spanish hapsburg empire

00:35:34.480 um at this time of the letter being written and because we had not formally declared war we were

00:35:39.720 using pirates to raid their shipping lanes and most of these pirates were financed from london and took

00:35:45.620 their cargo to london and one of the things that the spanish were trading in at the time was slaves

00:35:50.340 and so this explains how they actually got uh to england right i don't know whether they got all

00:35:56.580 the way up to scotland but i know they were in england so of course the pirates not really caring

00:36:01.320 about very much because they're pirates um released these slaves and let them loose in london and they

00:36:07.700 sort of spread out and and wreaked havoc across the country um so yes that's something i never knew

00:36:15.220 happened in history no um but there we are so i also wanted to look at the jacobites and uh here we

00:36:21.780 have a painting which is uh kind of comical um i mean just looking at some of the faces um i don't

00:36:28.900 know what happened to this guy but um this is of course depicting um the battle of culloden and um

00:36:36.420 which is obviously very famous um england putting down a scottish rebellion um jacobites were supporters

00:36:42.420 of the stewart dynasty of scotland um they derived their name from jacobus the latin name for james

00:36:49.380 and it their movement peaked with the jacobite rising in 1745 led by the uh the wee bonnie prince

00:36:56.100 charlie um no that's good charles edward stewart and uh and uh he sought to restore um james the

00:37:02.260 second who i believe was his father i need beau here to confirm all this stuff and uh they wanted to

00:37:08.020 return to the throne of england scotland and ireland and that was what this was all about

00:37:12.580 because i believe um it was the the hanover's wasn't it yes it was the house of hanover um but

00:37:19.700 the house of hanover won in 1746 and the uprising was put down was it that the house of uh stewart

00:37:27.060 lost during the glorious revolution of 1688 and then they tried to come back i think that might be

00:37:35.060 the case yeah but i think so yeah i'm not as clued into my history as i should be but um where was the

00:37:41.620 the king here yeah ancestors i don't know where his ancestors are not depicted on the battlefield i

00:37:48.900 suppose it must just be an act of racism from the painter here despite not being able to get the faces

00:37:55.620 of even english people correct and some interesting looking scots i'm not a fan of the painting even

00:38:01.700 though you know war paintings tend to be quite cool another thing that he's claimed um where's

00:38:08.180 the headline there we go the true jerusalem is in scotland and he claims to be the jewish messiah

00:38:14.580 right so he's really doubling up on the titles he's not only the king of scotland but also the jewish

00:38:20.580 messiah um he's claimed to be the descendant of jacobo the biblical jacob different different

00:38:30.580 pronunciation quite a claim um and argued that jacob was black um of course he did of course um

00:38:37.540 it's worth mentioning as well that they've had their tents burnt down before and i think it's

00:38:41.540 just that hamza yusuf learned that someone was actually a zionist in scotland did it personally

00:38:46.180 i don't know that's a joke by the way don't arrest me so another thing i spotted was the interesting

00:38:52.980 choice of dress that they have so it looks like he's got a sort of bnm fro as a cape

00:39:00.980 and she's wearing a poncho which is definitely not scottish and in fact go to from oxfam i've got

00:39:06.660 a prop for you today oh yes i've been waiting for this so i'm prepared for the most middle class thing

00:39:12.420 ever i i'm gonna pull out of a waitrose bag i'm gonna pull a poncho out of a waitrose bag

00:39:18.820 oh that's pretty cool i actually have this poncho oh yeah it's the same one right that's the same one

00:39:28.980 that's definitely the same yeah that is the same one and do you know why i got this because

00:39:33.300 obviously i'm not joining a well i'm gonna try and wear this and turn up and join but

00:39:38.020 obviously i'm not joining a scottish coat i bought this when i was at university and my heating and my

00:39:42.020 student accommodation was broken in a particularly cold november i was wearing like a t-shirt a shirt

00:39:47.780 a jumper i was sick of wearing my coat inside all the time because it was so cold and so i thought why

00:39:53.380 don't i get a poncho that's about right just to wear inside because i was cold while i was waiting

00:39:58.660 for the heating to be to be fixed so i'm not some sort of dirty hippie you know i i bought it because

00:40:05.060 i was cold and living in poverty as you were going through a phase okay you say so but yeah but this

00:40:14.500 poncho was made in tibet it's a tibetan poncho so it's got no connection to scotland whatsoever

00:40:22.500 i think it's got vaguely sort of african-esque colors and therefore she's sort of gone for it

00:40:28.180 yeah i mean but she's she's from texas right so she has no clue yeah i think she's number two the

00:40:34.340 the other one was number three from okay i can't tell i wonder where that jump is from underneath as

00:40:39.940 well yes interesting isn't it yeah it's a small world apparently we own the same poncho but it's not

00:40:45.540 authentic dress that is tibetan he's got authentic chinese sweatshop made fro so yep they've not got

00:40:54.020 the drip for a scottish royal house really have they um and who wants to see a video of them here

00:41:00.420 they are this is the only video i was able to find it's only a minute long here he is with his pine

00:41:07.060 cairn crown

00:41:15.620 ili's way kubala is here blessed be the king of the north blessed be the holy one of david

00:41:27.220 you are the shishima you are the messiah to lead all the chosen people the hebrews to the promised

00:41:34.180 land may your excellence abound or great one kingdom of kubala is an ancient kingdom yep

00:41:45.220 doesn't go into detail 400 years ago it's created when they're expelled

00:41:51.860 the jacobites the highlanders of scotland all in camp chairs like that crying out loud

00:41:59.700 100 years ago my ancestors were deported from this land sorry she waving a peacock

00:42:09.860 feather to try and keep him that's not doing anything that's not that's not that's not keeping

00:42:15.700 anyone cool okay i just couldn't believe that this was any thoughts stelios yeah he's a massive

00:42:24.020 idiot and it's one of those idiots who annoy me it's not like that i don't find it in the

00:42:29.140 least endearing yeah it's not endearing i agree but good news because they were evicted

00:42:40.260 um they were initially uh you're right lewis

00:42:48.740 i didn't expect that they were initially kept on um scottish borders council land and they were

00:42:54.420 evicted by the sheriff officers um in july of 2024 pack it up you're going on bye bye

00:43:01.140 kubala northern sorry about that and they they apparently the council offered housing advice

00:43:06.740 and support services which is probably more than they deserve and now they're now believed to be

00:43:11.620 camping in non-council land so i presume private land that belongs to someone all right not you again

00:43:18.020 pack it in all right go home and uh one thing that's a bit sad is uh that the family of the missing

00:43:27.780 texas woman uh because she is she was reported missing originally and then they found out that

00:43:33.780 she'd moved to scotland to live in the woods with an african tribe um a bit of a change from texas a

00:43:41.220 little bit um so yeah she's a mother to a one-year-old as well i don't know whether she

00:43:48.180 took the one-year-old with her but i don't think so so she's just left her one-year-old child in texas

00:43:53.300 i presume and she had to respond to the calling of mr bala and she entered the uk on a six-month

00:44:01.700 tourist visa and uh kept her connection to this tribe hidden apparently she found out about um

00:44:08.260 um the tribe through facebook which is cool interesting place to find out about it

00:44:15.220 the tribe the kingdom social radicalized spiritually by a facebook group one of her aunties said it's

00:44:20.740 very stressful and difficult it breaks our hearts we're overly concerned about um i don't understand

00:44:26.260 we're overly concerned she's saying we're too concerned about her um about cora um spelt like

00:44:31.700 laura but with a k for some reason um but she doesn't think anyone is concerned about her and then what

00:44:37.300 she said about her family that this lady who was presumed missing is i'm very happy with my king

00:44:43.140 and queen i was never missing i fled a very abusive toxic family who abused me sexually since i was a

00:44:48.900 child so you don't go missing to your abusers but to my mind if these people are coming out and going

00:44:56.660 to the media saying listen we're worried about you i would be surprised if all of her family were

00:45:02.820 abusing her maybe it's the some of them is is a difficult thing to validate no i don't know but

00:45:09.380 i wouldn't say that the average child does this so probably the the background isn't the best there's

00:45:16.020 certainly something going on here a hundred percent there's something but um i think that something

00:45:20.500 could well be mental illness yeah so uh yes this is just a curious story um that i wanted to bring

00:45:28.900 everyone's attention to of course the points here being that these random people have just come up

00:45:34.020 and set up claiming to be kings in the scottish woods none of them are from here all of them should

00:45:40.980 be deported um and why are their children now in our care system i don't want seven african children

00:45:48.660 here that we've got to now pay for from clearly mentally ill people and they've got no business being

00:45:54.580 here they should at least be mentally assessed because clearly there's something going on here

00:46:00.580 that isn't normal need i say that even and uh yeah i i think they probably do need help but also

00:46:10.260 they're not our burden they we shouldn't be putting up with this it shouldn't exist doesn't belong in

00:46:14.340 britain bye bye and uh also it's worth mentioning i've got a channel come up with some uh

00:46:20.420 some new videos recently got a good one about how cats can control your mind with parasites

00:46:27.140 did a nice half an hour long one about why camping is great check it out nice right some comments here

00:46:35.540 i believe yep let's have a look um that's random name says after this segment we need a palette cleanser

00:46:42.100 in the form of a video of that orangutan driving a golf car i've shown that too many times on this

00:46:46.740 podcast i feel like i've i've over a ranked this podcast already uh neo unrealist says why in the

00:46:53.940 modern world do we tolerate what barely 100 or so years ago or longer would have been ended with

00:46:59.300 righteous indignation today all oddballs are coddled and enabled yeah i'm no enemy of an eccentric but i

00:47:08.420 think that when people start doing things like trespassing and abandoning their children and claiming to be

00:47:14.340 kings there's some intervention required right i feel silly saying it because it's such an obvious

00:47:21.860 point um so porter gage says the king and his lass uh were a menace while in teeside they were

00:47:29.540 eventually chased out of town for hanging banners outside their flat threatening to kill our children

00:47:35.140 they should have been deported then well if that is the case i definitely agree wow that's insane

00:47:40.340 i didn't know about that um oh sorry samson um where are we um oh okay john platt says

00:47:50.900 oh thanks for keeping us informed never trust the mainstream media

00:47:56.180 i take it that's for your second yeah yeah yeah yeah never trust the media about these kings

00:48:03.220 this um testing says the state took the kids yet dropped the charges to tear that is true actually yeah i

00:48:09.300 i mean they should have been deported to be honest and the children should have been

00:48:13.780 put into care in their home nation and where's the make albion great again much

00:48:18.900 um that's not a question for me to um answer but i'll pass it on um this is one of the most

00:48:25.780 bizarre josh segments i've ever seen thanks josh you're more than welcome thank you for the five

00:48:30.500 pounds yes um i've had a fair few this is up there with the goblins and um the black hammer commune in the

00:48:38.260 the mountains and like they reached out to me by the way black hammer yeah so i made fun of them

00:48:44.100 it's like we'll debate you and then they never got back to me oh and then testing says um

00:48:51.380 per dankula they're memeing or mentally unwell they didn't use that word but that's the one i'm using

00:48:57.940 uh reese jam piece says i'm a dundee local we have the highest drug death rate in europe and the highest

00:49:04.820 crime crime rate in scotland i cannot stress how bad things i didn't realize i feel really bad because

00:49:09.700 i i said on the segment that i i don't hear a lot that comes out from dundee and then turns out pretty

00:49:14.740 much what i've heard from my dad yeah yeah it's known as being rough even by scotter standards i

00:49:20.020 didn't know so i do apologize um i i wasn't named to me a mouse thank you very much right so sadly

00:49:29.620 politics in europe is the micromanagement of decline now i'm a practical man when there's

00:49:35.700 a problem and try i try to come up with a solution try to find the means necessary to solve the problem

00:49:42.100 and i try to take these means if i can but uh sadly our politicians don't think this way

00:49:48.020 they're much more interested in appearing as if they're solving the problem without actually solving

00:49:53.060 them solving it because if they don't solve the problem they will perennially appear as if they

00:50:01.140 are required all the time to be there constantly more and more money is given to the state the

00:50:07.700 problems are always there sometimes they get worse much worse uh the state then requires more money to

00:50:15.140 do its job it doesn't do the job then they're they tax us even more it's a downward spiral and i think

00:50:21.860 that this is a downward spiral that characterizes all european economies at the moment definitely

00:50:28.180 germany definitely england and we are going to talk about them because it seems like we are suffering

00:50:33.780 from over-regulated economies and a disastrous mix of open borders and welfare state right so to solve

00:50:43.300 the problem it's very simple we need to deregulate the economy we need to close the borders we need to

00:50:48.580 have more sane migration policies and we need to reduce welfare spending why because we need as

00:50:54.900 a what i said here here in agreeing with you sorry great because as a society in order for a society to

00:51:02.100 thrive and prosper it needs to reward the behavioral traits that produce wealth not reward people who just

00:51:10.260 sit do nothing and constantly scream about how this wealth should be distributed in different ways that's

00:51:17.140 how things are should be done right so we have here the case of germany and i think that this particularly

00:51:26.340 nerve-wracking it's not the only nerve-wracking thing that happened it's not the only frustrating thing that

00:51:31.380 happened but it shows precisely how politicians in europe are creating this atmosphere of complete distrust

00:51:41.540 of the system they're creating the idea that the system isn't there to help us it isn't there to

00:51:48.020 protect us it's only there to sabotage us and we have here the chancellor of germany

00:51:53.300 mertz saying the welfare state that we have today can no longer be financed with what we produce in the economy

00:52:00.660 now i think that this is a correct diagnosis of the problem but there are some options here

00:52:07.060 option number one is deregulation sane border policy and reducing welfare spending

00:52:15.540 and then we have all sorts of other options that are a combination of giving into his leftist

00:52:21.140 coalition partner the the social democrats or um funding well the welfare state with

00:52:29.380 foreign debt which is an indirect tax tax germans directly even more or just sit there and wait

00:52:38.500 and hope that the the war in ukraine is going to end which means that they're going to be cheaper

00:52:44.980 energy into germany without actually addressing the structural issues what do you think he's going to pick

00:52:50.500 the bad option of course i mean germany has no business being a struggling economy i mean throughout

00:53:00.340 a lot of european history germany has had a very strong economy because of its industrialization the

00:53:05.220 likes particularly obviously in the 20th century and they've still kept a lot of their industry they're

00:53:10.980 still known particularly for things like chemical and engineering and manufacturing so they shouldn't be

00:53:16.660 struggling it's because of mismanagement that there's even a problem in the first place right

00:53:22.020 in that they were reliant on russian gas then the taps got turned off and then they were pretty

00:53:26.980 much lost there's no reason for them not to have the cheapest energy in europe especially with all

00:53:33.060 the industry it should be in their interest it's obviously that the german state the entire paradigm

00:53:39.060 that all of german politics operates in is basically just exacerbating the problems that already exist

00:53:44.900 which is why nothing gets better and everything gets worse yeah um sabotage self-sabotage and um s

00:53:55.300 empathy i don't want to say the full works we're on youtube now um yeah so you think he both of you

00:54:01.540 say that he's going to go for the bad options yes absolutely yeah yeah you're correct all right let's go

00:54:06.820 and see here there's this article from the gazette express saying mertz welfare german welfare state is no

00:54:13.940 longer financially viable you could have guessed and he says i will not allow myself to be irritated

00:54:19.780 by words like social cuts hard peeling and the other things that will go with them said mertz addressing

00:54:27.140 his social democratic partner but the appeal is to all of us let us show together that change is possible

00:54:33.220 that reforms are possible so he accepts the problem he says i'm not hearing about the solution

00:54:38.820 i'm gonna label with my social democrat partner and we're gonna opt for actually doing things worse or

00:54:47.220 keep keep them being bad so let's see here spd does not rule out tax increases

00:54:55.300 that's how to help the economy is increase taxes further yeah so they're saying that they are not gonna

00:55:01.860 rule out higher taxes for high income earners and the wealthy no option is off the table said the spd

00:55:09.060 leader uh they say we must fill the billions of dollars in gaps in future federal budgets

00:55:15.700 yep about deporting all the foreign dependents that'd free up some some money wouldn't it yeah

00:55:20.740 they also say that uh more helmut cole the social democrat large cling bail supports the reforms but warns of

00:55:28.340 social injustice we need structural reforms to keep social contributions sustainable in the long term

00:55:34.820 we gave you that option and you're deliberately not taking it and you are trying to take the to lead

00:55:42.660 the german chancellor astray yet again right so what is that there according to the german finance minister

00:55:50.740 all reforms must adhere to the principle we remain a country that helps people who are in need who get

00:55:56.740 sick and who need help right so there is an issue here because people who are in politics right now

00:56:04.660 they are very much they're disproportionately globalists those who occupy the top echelons of power

00:56:12.740 right so when they say we need to help people in need and we need to help to help the second we need to

00:56:20.580 help those in help they mean globally and very frequently they attach this they combine this

00:56:28.900 with the leftist thinking according to which the left should redistribute wealth from the wealthy to the

00:56:37.220 poor but they mean now globally they don't mean it just domestically within a country like saying we have

00:56:42.980 the rich capitalist class and the proletarian class of a single country they're talking about rich and

00:56:49.460 poor globally speaking which means we are gonna treat the natives of western nations as globally rich

00:56:59.220 the same thing happens in germany the same thing happens in england the same thing happens in france

00:57:04.580 i think it also happens in the us to a degree i think that's how the leftist globalist establishment

00:57:11.140 goes about things i'm going to say something controversial and say that taking money from

00:57:16.340 other people and giving it to people who haven't earned it helps nobody in that scenario on the one

00:57:21.860 hand you're you're stealing money from hard-working people to give it to layabouts and losers but also

00:57:28.740 those layabouts and losers aren't going to learn the ways in which they can become productive members of

00:57:33.780 society because what giving people free money does is it creates a situation of learned helplessness

00:57:40.500 whereby they learn to exist in a state whereby they're dependent on other people and they're

00:57:47.060 less inclined to focus on things like personal development whereby they better themselves and

00:57:52.260 actually become a productive member of society i wouldn't say that i wouldn't frame it exactly as you

00:57:57.140 did i know i was being quite harsh yeah you were a bit harsh because there could be cases where you

00:58:02.180 know it's it's not just be it's not as you know obviously there are people with disabilities that

00:58:07.860 i'm not including in that i i fully support looking after people like that just to be clear

00:58:14.180 yeah okay and the elderly right so cdu rules out tax hikes the cdu the largest partner in germany's

00:58:21.380 ruling coalition has ruled out any additional burden on small and medium-sized businesses

00:58:26.820 so they're gonna opt most probably for um they're gonna opt most probably for raising the taxes for

00:58:33.460 the middle class and uh those who have more which is gonna harm investment why don't they understand

00:58:41.060 this because of course with high inflation most people have to invest their money into the economy

00:58:48.580 so what they're actually doing is reducing the pool of potential investment in companies so they're just

00:58:53.700 just all government basically is is just shifting money around it doesn't actually ever create any

00:58:59.300 wealth when when is the state really created wealth yeah i mean if it if you're talking about

00:59:05.220 like the soviet union where the only way there can be economic innovation is through the state then

00:59:10.180 sure but that's not actually the state doing it it's the technology it's forcing people to do it

00:59:15.860 people who could do it without being forced yeah if they had market incentives yeah like most of the time in in

00:59:23.380 in soviet russia they didn't have to force them to farm because they're doing it anyway weren't they

00:59:27.380 but they're talking about autumn of social atrocities so what could the what could that mean i i think

00:59:33.860 that this is a bit pernicious because if you look at how they're reacting to several terrorist attacks

00:59:39.700 in germany and they have the same cycle of trying to say it's an isolated incident we should hide the

00:59:45.460 identity of the person it's always a man or a car or a knife with some issues they always

00:59:52.500 coincidentally pray to mecca i don't know why and very frequently they are almost invariably they

00:59:59.220 are appealing to the economic argument they're saying that crime is and can only be an issue

01:00:07.460 stemming out of economic inequality therefore the more crime there is the more crime rises the more

01:00:14.820 the native population must be taxed in order for money to be given to the communities or the members of

01:00:21.540 the communities whoever they are who are disproportionately found in committing crime

01:00:29.460 right so all of it is just a way of saying that they don't want to solve the problem they want to

01:00:33.780 appear as if they're solving the problem because they're thinking of the next election and now let me

01:00:38.500 just tell you this i triple checked it because it looked like a huge number their welfare spending

01:00:45.540 for 2023 was 1.25 trillion euros that is massive 30 of their gdp that's mad yeah 30 and let me scroll

01:00:58.100 down here because i have other it has several articles but i'm going to show you the next one

01:01:05.780 right they say a strong welfare state there is you know independent confirmation they're saying

01:01:11.380 essentially that for the year 2023 it was 1.25 trillion year trillion euros 30.3 percent of gdp that alone

01:01:22.100 so the average german or the average person in germany must pay 30.3 percent of their tax

01:01:29.540 or of their income to sustain this sustain a subsistence existence right yeah now let's say we we

01:01:38.660 talk told you what the what the social democrat um coalition partners uh talk about it's more taxes now

01:01:47.460 let's see what another um person from the cdu coalition which supposed to be the conservative

01:01:53.780 proposes says billions for migrants work until death for germans oh no that's the what vicegrid says

01:02:00.580 he's proposing to raise the retirement age to 70. yeah just work until you die for the benefit of

01:02:06.820 foreigners who hate you that sounds wonderful i mean it's my future so i can't exactly judge you but

01:02:13.060 so that's micromanagement of decline and i think that the this is this is the same thing happens

01:02:19.780 in england to a to a very large extent because we have we have people who are i think basically

01:02:25.380 they're communists they know how to hide better than the previous ones and they have done it very

01:02:30.500 deliberately i saw that in academia the way that they were going about it their masquerade there are two

01:02:36.020 tiers some are overtly communists the others masquerade as modern liberals they talk constantly

01:02:41.860 about roles dworkin and they they shouldn't be co-existing that easily do you know uh a really

01:02:49.380 good quote from one of my i wouldn't say favorite communists but one of the most interesting to me

01:02:55.300 uh lenin as in you know the the man who organized the russian revolution uh not john lennon making a big

01:03:02.580 lebowski reference there um yeah he's he quoted the bible and said those who do not work do not eat

01:03:10.020 that was those are the words of a communist so this this idea when he's in power when he isn't

01:03:16.340 in power don't work 1917 shortly before he took power yeah so he was basically saying that yeah you

01:03:23.060 you've got to work to have the state look after you otherwise you don't deserve it because he was

01:03:27.940 basically arguing that these people are burdens on other people and holding back the revolution so in

01:03:34.260 a way um the left has abandoned its roots and even lenin is more right-wing in his opinion isn't he also

01:03:41.940 isn't he also the thinker who said that there are decades where nothing happens and then there are

01:03:46.260 weeks where nothing happens i haven't heard that one but yeah no he actually said there are weeks where

01:03:54.260 decades happen oh right i see i thought you said that nothing happens and no chat jack paraphrase

01:04:02.660 yeah lenin the king of nothing ever happened yes yes so they are basically communists who know how to

01:04:08.580 hide but essentially they are doing one thing they constantly see every um disparity of outcome as a

01:04:16.740 sign of inequality and they're saying something must be done about it we need to flatten out

01:04:21.380 inequalities whether they come off as marxist or not that's their temperamental principle that's

01:04:27.380 what describes their principle oh and they're going uh the way of things now we did a segment about um

01:04:34.420 rachel reeves and the horrible performance of her economy actually on that one wasn't i yeah that was

01:04:40.420 a really good a really good one i think luca was with us that's right it's an insane quote and uh let me

01:04:46.580 also show you something that um andy um unearthed this is cabinet secretary uh of the years 2005 2011

01:04:58.020 gas o'donnell who said i think it's my job to maximize global welfare non-national welfare just

01:05:04.100 an insane quote genuinely and it's my job to maximize your prison sentence for treachery

01:05:09.300 so what is what is this other than a sign that for the last 20 plus years we have leftists who

01:05:17.300 are openly saying we're not going to look at the middle class at the working class at the domestic

01:05:23.380 working class anymore we are going to look at the universities such as they did from the 60s onwards

01:05:29.860 and we're gonna talk about the globally rich and the globally poor and lo and behold the western

01:05:37.700 working class counts as globally rich that's why they receive all the animosity that the capitalists

01:05:46.500 received from the left before before that that's why you see such a callous

01:05:53.300 treatment of the topics we're talking about by the left what's ironic just to jump in the the irony is is

01:06:03.060 that the left obviously hate the empire for example the british empire yet they act as if we are an empire

01:06:10.180 still and that we're playing grandfather to the world and that we act as if we have a duty to sort of

01:06:17.780 coddle and cuddle the entire world and to help and to unnecessarily help every single country out as much as

01:06:24.980 possible and it's a weird place of um s empathy um because i just don't understand that mindset if you

01:06:34.500 hate the empire so much yet you yet you act as if we are still that i mean it's a relic now we we don't

01:06:41.300 live in those times anymore yet it's almost like they're keeping that particular part of the empire

01:06:47.220 alive and i just find it just so unnecessarily weird it's so unnecessary if we didn't have a military

01:06:53.940 most of the countries of the world would be picking our bones clean they don't they wouldn't return the

01:06:58.820 favor would they like people outside of europe and north america the west more generally i think

01:07:08.260 are more concerned with their own survival and their people's survival than anything else they're not

01:07:13.780 necessarily going to treat us fairly then we can't expect this in return unequality

01:07:21.460 it's impossible to have equality i think i think you're raising a great point and i think the response

01:07:27.460 would be from the left is that it's a matter of grievance and if you look at it we could say that

01:07:33.380 you know before wokeness yeah there was an issue of you know just it doesn't matter my where you come

01:07:39.140 from like if you play by the rules you're okay and then they had to destroy it everything because they

01:07:45.220 appropriated all the you know critical theory bs you have to find the victim you have to have a

01:07:52.980 hierarchy of domination and oppression and you know that's how they went about it but you also see now how

01:08:01.220 you have several intellectuals and their podcasts oozing from the left and they're intellectuals

01:08:09.060 lewis goodall sure mate it's not the same name as you and yeah yeah at least he says the quiet part

01:08:16.900 out loud then you could say that that you respect that you can respect this very intellectual of him so

01:08:22.500 he's talking about a hiking inheritance tax of a hundred percent as if that's not a that's not

01:08:31.780 communist and says you don't have a right to inherit money from mommy and daddy that you did nothing to

01:08:36.820 earn suddenly he's not loved by his parents yeah but suddenly the left now is talking about meritocracy

01:08:42.260 isn't that great yeah i support a hundred percent tax on lewis goodall and and uh let's uh not

01:08:51.140 forget that it's not an issue of whether the recipient deserves it it's an issue of whether

01:08:56.820 people who are taxed their entire lives and they're making an inheritance that they want to

01:09:02.580 give to their children to help their family it's an issue of whether they deserve the choice to pass

01:09:08.420 their inheritance to their kids or whoever they want without asking you i think what did you do to

01:09:14.420 deserve it there is something inherently evil to say to someone else uh i'm going to go into your

01:09:21.140 wallet and take your money and show you what you should spend it on there is something so inherently

01:09:26.740 evil about that i don't have the right okay i may not like people like uh you know bill gates larry

01:09:32.660 fink people like that you know i'm very critical about these people and we should you know whatever

01:09:37.620 their money is spent on that's dependent on what they invest in very dependent and you can uh you

01:09:43.860 can criticize this but i don't have a right to go into someone's pocket take their money and say you

01:09:49.620 can't do that with that yeah but don't you think that the the very wealthy funders of the left the

01:09:56.980 leftist parties would get away with it how do you mean because if they found if they funded the the

01:10:02.500 the the the parties the party the leftist parties would harm the middle class because that's not

01:10:08.020 talking about you know the few billionaires that's talking about the entire yeah yeah but as as a

01:10:14.580 principle i'm talking about every very rich would get away with sure i'm talking about the principle

01:10:19.540 for everyone so i don't i so i don't think it's fair to go into whatever class and say and say i don't

01:10:28.180 like the way you spend your money so what i'm going to do is seize it and you know seizing money

01:10:34.660 like that is is never is never peaceful it's awful to seize your assets and to seize your seize your

01:10:41.060 money and then just say right what should we do with it and then figure out oh we'll just put it back

01:10:45.940 into the state stealing is what that is yeah they all taxation is they are they are uh rampant ideologues

01:10:54.580 because yeah if they learned from the social democrats of scandinavia they would not be

01:11:00.340 talking about in an inheritance tax the inheritance tax in scandinavia was revoked by social democrats

01:11:09.060 because it was harming the family well you had the property you gave it to your children and they

01:11:14.980 couldn't they couldn't um use it without selling it because they had to give a huge amount to the state

01:11:22.820 mm-hmm so that's they just don't care it's more it's worse than social democracy yeah right so you

01:11:30.100 know you have lewis goodl again doubling down saying the people without wealth the workers cannot catch up

01:11:35.540 well the more you disrespect the profit motives the fewer just employment opportunities there will be

01:11:43.060 you may not like it but this is how it works and here we have think tank having drafting a report

01:11:51.620 saying that the unemployment rate in the uk is set to hit five percent currently it's in 4.7 and

01:11:59.220 things seem to be going worse it wasn't that long ago that it was like two percent so it's quite a big

01:12:06.100 increase also there there is uh capital leaves uk oh there's been a lot of uh wealthy people fleeing the uk

01:12:13.700 about over a thousand multi-millionaires i think in recent times and i i want to end this with our

01:12:21.300 an interesting post by michael eric says left playbook number one blow up welfare spend number

01:12:27.220 two make more debt number three punish the most successful and hard working with higher taxes

01:12:32.660 number four censorship and cancel culture number five prosecution for criticism number six exit tax to

01:12:39.380 prevent an exodus from left paradise at which stage is your country actually i think that there is more

01:12:45.060 that needs to be added because the left right now is opting also for open borders and they are speaking

01:12:53.380 as if this won't bring the wages of the working class down so it's just a complete destruction of the

01:13:03.140 economy and of the culture that they are trying to be doing because they are trying to disincentivize

01:13:09.700 people from generating wealth and in order to distribute wealth you have to first generate it

01:13:16.660 i know this is 101 i'm not being i'm not talking down on you i'm not treating you as of inferior uh

01:13:22.900 understanding but this is this is something that the left doesn't want to understand

01:13:27.620 right we have by the way um samson sent me a poll um that was carried out unbeknownst to me

01:13:37.220 saying should josh put the poncho on yes 92 percent oh yeah you gotta put it on now and being a man of

01:13:43.940 democracy i will do this before we get to the comments just for a little bit it's very warm in

01:13:48.980 here so i'm not gonna wear it for long i want to see this that's gonna be funny yeah yeah josh are you

01:13:55.140 gonna are you gonna join the african start doing one of their chants and then get evicted

01:14:04.660 do you need some help you need a stick you also need a stick and to roll your eyes up

01:14:09.860 thank you you need to roll your eyes up like you have the moment of epiphany

01:14:13.460 i can't do it it hurts my eyes the kubala umbala

01:14:16.820 that's getting clipped this is gonna be on the internet forever digital footprint right so warm

01:14:26.980 right we have buka 505 saying stelios german chancellor announced today 24 hours after no

01:14:32.980 money for welfare that they are going to send nine billions for support of government in kai

01:14:39.140 i think that is kiev and another nine billion next year priorities well they are helping with

01:14:48.820 you know um foreign aid as well yeah you know how can you harp on about you know a bloated system

01:14:54.900 with spending and then send packages to ukraine for example billions tens of billions it just makes

01:15:01.540 no sense it's just it's putting foreign nations over your own happens a lot these days alas i think

01:15:09.220 josh there's one for your segment from bay state thanks bay state give an african a big mac and you

01:15:14.660 feed him for a day deport the african and you feed him for life or not who cares the problem has gone

01:15:19.140 either way very nice thanks to the uh 499 bay state and a good comment and um we just had one come in

01:15:28.180 as well from white rider um if streaming on youtube again means having to self-censor the

01:15:33.140 streaming on youtube is not worth it stop it we've not really been self-censoring to be honest i've not

01:15:38.020 really felt much of a difference now because youtube um now some of the political heat is off of it

01:15:44.420 is far less censorious than it used to be say about five years ago it was really bad um we can be a bit

01:15:50.740 more careful now and i think because a lot of the tech companies want to cozy up to trump because the eu

01:15:56.180 is going after uh they're going to be in his good books and not misbehave hopefully there's a strong

01:16:03.460 incentive there anyway it's not that they've changed it's just that it's all about the regime now yeah

01:16:08.740 who's in charge of the regime so they'll go where the wind blows like right okay now let us go on to

01:16:16.260 our videos pinks pat make p go whip pain scotty things that make you go

01:16:26.740 duty akia flip-flopped an overwhelming public pressure such as with the english flag and the

01:16:30.100 migrants needing to go back and during covid in the us west virginia abandoned gun grabbing

01:16:33.780 legislation when patriots rallied with their legal firearms is the key to evoking political change

01:16:37.700 threatening those in charge in a way that can't be counterminded or controlled

01:16:40.260 things that make you go

01:16:41.380 given the state of our country right now it seems that a policy or norm is likely to stay

01:16:46.100 in place once it's been passed when we win why not just fall through good policies no matter how

01:16:49.940 much backlash they receive and tell everyone to get used to it unapologetically

01:16:55.380 you spoke very fast i think it's been sped up slightly ah good right is there another video samson yeah

01:17:04.900 so i know we consider to kill a mockingbird a bit of a subversive novel in our circles but

01:17:12.740 there is an interesting fact that a sequel story was published a while back where it basically takes

01:17:18.420 place decades later and it essentially turns out that atticus finch was like a massive racist and

01:17:23.620 you know part of the clan and believed in segregation and it's actually kind of a very subversive revelation

01:17:29.700 because it's basically saying that a racist person can be like honorable decent-minded and fair towards

01:17:34.820 people he doesn't consider his equals necessarily

01:17:39.540 that's true actually yeah i never thought about it like that though

01:17:43.220 i remember i'd um read that book around christmas time for some reason

01:17:48.500 let's go next one of their ideological agents refuse to accept any argument that reasonably

01:17:52.020 counters their dogma such as mass immigration having quantifiable negative effects at the risk of

01:17:55.700 sounding crass there are two analogies that are utterly irrefutable the house and sex when an

01:17:59.380 activist uses an argument like if you don't provide a legal way to do x they'll just do x in a

01:18:02.740 a dangerous way respond by asking if the moral duty of all women is to grant themselves a safe

01:18:06.740 and legal way to have sex with them because surely if not the illegal way is worse for everyone

01:18:10.420 suddenly they'll understand that the laws and rules we have set boundaries and that

01:18:13.380 not achieving something you want isn't some great violation of human rights

01:18:16.180 yeah the the notion of the rights now has been given a completely twisted subversive understanding

01:18:26.660 right let's go to the comments for the first segment zesty king says i got stuck in dundee for

01:18:32.580 a few days earlier this year because of storm eowen it seemed like an average town with a nice art

01:18:38.500 exhibition and the double rs discovery the ship robert falcon scott first went to the antarctic with

01:18:45.540 but there was noticeably a lot of deprivation and communists along with the usual diversity

01:18:52.260 yeah it's funny how communists seem to congregate where there's poverty doesn't it

01:18:56.980 that's where you know they get support from yeah well despite the fact that they are frequently openly

01:19:04.740 against that's where they would like to think they might get support from but i think in the modern

01:19:09.220 day a lot of their support is actually from slightly better off people than poor working class people

01:19:15.460 i think it's sort of moved away from that a little bit hasn't it i think it was always a kind of you

01:19:20.260 know rich industrialists who aren't particularly good at business who want to team up with others in

01:19:27.300 order to maintain their position certainly angles yeah yeah and all the other utopian social right

01:19:34.660 generica 101 the sax pronounced sax is the knife from which the saxons took their name in light of

01:19:42.660 this incident the sax and hacks have become powerful symbols we could do well to be a little less

01:19:50.260 anglo and a lot more saxon in these times kevin fox says you can't film your kid kids sports day or

01:19:59.380 nativity play without permission of all the parents presence so why should filming random

01:20:04.740 kids in a park be allowed exactly some might use the argument citizen journalists make when people

01:20:10.580 get upset being filmed in public but that's for adults not kids well put kevin well put yeah well put

01:20:17.780 omar awad says it feels like an infection point because you can't ignore such a blatant

01:20:23.940 injustice as arresting a girl for self-defense i think the sneering classism isn't going to be

01:20:29.700 tolerated anymore arizona desert rat says so this teenage girl was arrested for brandishing

01:20:36.980 a weapon in self-defense was the guy ever arrested for harassing two miners that was wasn't something

01:20:43.540 a no a nothing is being reported about yeah at all yeah i've not heard anything which seems to

01:20:48.740 suggest that it didn't happen because it would be spread by now wouldn't it and someone online says

01:20:54.820 it's disgusting that the girls are being prosecuted for protecting themselves i think thankfully because

01:21:00.500 they're under the age where they can get in serious trouble for it it's not going to affect their

01:21:04.740 future in any way yeah i hope so anyway i think that's my understanding of how it works but i never

01:21:11.700 committed any crimes when i was a kid so i don't know yeah do you want to read the comments from of

01:21:17.060 course um zesty king a fellow kang of uh repute i hear um i've also been to jedburgh um i've traveled

01:21:25.780 around a lot of the uk and it seemed like a beautiful part of the country with lots of countryside

01:21:29.780 i didn't see an african tribe though ah well you weren't looking hard enough missing out yeah

01:21:34.900 they're everywhere you've got to go into the trees um they'll be camping out there and with luxury

01:21:40.580 boutique uh makeup dresses baron von warhawk uh the best thing to do about this king of scotland is

01:21:46.820 nothing at all it'll be much more funny to watch his um little kingdom collapse in on itself as soon

01:21:52.020 as scottish winter comes in let nature take its course we got evicted so yeah he couldn't even get

01:21:58.180 well he got evicted and then moved um to a different woodland so the council evicted him

01:22:03.620 from their land with the sheriff which i didn't know they were still sheriffs um and then he went

01:22:10.580 to some private land i presume so az deserat says hey that's why the lady is missing from the us

01:22:16.820 popped up in scotland i was confused as to why she would go to the backwoods of scotland

01:22:21.380 someone online this weird african kingdom cult is going to be super funny until they start killing

01:22:28.020 people as all cults do well there's only three of them so i think the damage that can be done is

01:22:32.580 pretty limited and if they're living off of iron brew and shortbread they're going to have no energy

01:22:38.100 to be able to do anything they're going to be withered away um derek power um says josh's cat told

01:22:44.980 him about jedberg yeah a good reference to my video there it's my cat's parasites in my head um

01:22:51.460 someone online says this oh no no i've already read that one janvi says i really like your poncho

01:22:58.020 thanks for this segment it was pretty great um reminded me of how um to start a cult lads hour

01:23:04.180 also you could watch the video of the orangutan enjoying a magic trick as a palette cleanser

01:23:08.500 well from now on thanks to you chat i might uh bring in a rang video every time i come in

01:23:14.980 and yeah once a week rang entertainment nice the last one is really funny lord

01:23:20.020 in case to hector x says josh put puts that on and knows the way to uganda

01:23:25.940 right i know the way kevin fox says african countries have received billions if not trillions

01:23:31.380 in food and aid over the last few decades and it has not improved things here why because they

01:23:37.140 learned early on we don't have to use the farming equipment we've been given we just need to laze

01:23:42.340 about and produce kids we can't feed so ngos will film them starving and covered in flies and that will

01:23:48.180 bring in more money so that they can come and feed us unfortunately now they're traveling to europe

01:23:53.540 and following the same lifestyle here i think to a very large extent in africa it's it has to do with

01:23:59.380 ultra corrupt governments it's yeah i think also there is an element of foreign aid

01:24:06.180 um actually supplanting the development of local industries like think of all think of mr beast

01:24:12.500 um putting all of those honest well makers out of business because he brings in all the western

01:24:17.220 cavalry to dig all those mines mines sorry there's a freudian slip wells um maybe he's digging mines as

01:24:24.660 well who knows who knows who knows where he gets all his gold from fane scotty of swindon says as i

01:24:30.340 said in yesterday's video comment use the silly bug as rule these people are obviously communists

01:24:35.940 or so close that the distinction is materially irrelevant so just accuse them as such and when

01:24:41.540 they pretend not to be dismissed them and don't even try to prove it or judged guilty now enact the

01:24:47.140 sentence no matter how much they protest so certainly the standards they apply to the right that's for sure

01:24:52.660 omar awad it's an absurd logic to decide previously taxed money is unearned wealth when given to

01:25:00.660 someone else i demand consistency a thousand percent remittance tax a hundred percent angela rayner's

01:25:07.460 property tax did you see the photo this week oh when she was in she was inflatable yeah vaping to

01:25:14.420 resurrect antiquity yeah john v says i agree stelios the cause of every disparity in the population is

01:25:23.300 considered to be because of lack of opportunity by leftists since they see everyone as blank slates

01:25:29.780 and lancelot says there is only one true response to a leftist anything they want to do to you

01:25:37.380 they want to strip you of the life you have earned the house you have built the inheritance you have been

01:25:42.340 awarded no matter what it is there's only one real response to their ideas or proposals okay you

01:25:50.100 first yeah because they really love double standards they they aren't particularly keen on practicing as

01:25:56.980 they preach lars peter siemens and says it was the norwegian's conservatives who removed the inheritance

01:26:03.700 tax right i'll check it out but i i must say that i i saw several documents who said that in sweden for

01:26:11.540 instance it was the in finland it was the social democrats but thanks for letting me know and last
