In this episode of Conspiracy Theories, we discuss the Epstein scandal, the restoration of the British Parliament, and the return of the monarchy to the UK. We also hear from Joe McCann and Jake McCann's father, Lord Joe McCann.

00:01:22.000Did you join me midway through that sentence or were you there the whole way through the sentence?

00:01:41.000And don't be afraid to get involved in the comments and say stuff like, for example, well, Russell, what a nice shirt.
00:01:54.000You know, it comes to something where a formal celebrity can't even say the word child without you first thinking today's first subject, Epstein.
00:03:07.000Later on, we'll be doing our podcast, Crack On, where we'll be talking about the principles of recovery and how we battle against the endless sinful mindset, the mindset of distraction.
00:03:18.000And I just was listening to a brilliant bit of Jungian analysis on the temptations of Christ, where he's saying the first temptation to turn bread into stone is a temptation for us to worship material things, to worship material things.
00:04:13.000While King Charles might be saying happy Ramadan to all and sundry, I'd like to offer you, in addition, happy Ramadan, Ramadan Buruk, Ash Wednesday.
00:04:24.000From ashes you'll come and to ashes you will return.
00:04:27.000So don't make the mistake of worshiping any false gods or wasting your time.
00:04:31.000In the United Kingdom, Rupert Lowe, farmer and member of parliament, independent member of parliament, interestingly, is making a good case of being the new Nigel Farage, the representative of sentiments in the UK that their country has been lost.
00:04:48.000The UK has been beset by arguments about immigrants have stolen our authority, immigrants have stolen our land, and I still retain in me this idea that what you need to pay most attention to is that migration class that elides and glides like a fog, like a fugue, like a smoke.
00:05:07.000Those elite globalist imperialist scum that infiltrate our culture and our land that can't be branded with a single religion or faith unless it's the worship of Satan.
00:05:18.000The immigrants, primarily people in the UK and Europe at least, tend to say are Muslim.
00:05:24.000And still, when people talk about centralized globalist authority, there's a tendency to regard an all-powerful Jewish cadre as the centre of world power.
00:05:33.000Well, what if it's more complicated than that?
00:05:36.000What if these earthly iterations of the Abrahamic faiths are not the answer?
00:05:41.000For those of us that are in Christ, we know that he is the only answer.
00:05:44.000But when it comes to UK politics, Rupert Lowe is marching into the newly vacated space perhaps left by the silhouette of a Nigel Farage who, in order to succeed and achieve, might have been claimed by the very establishment he once so expertly fought against.
00:06:01.000Let me know in the comments and chat if you agree with that analysis.
00:06:03.000I'm not in the UK, so I don't know if people commonly regard reformers having been captured.
00:06:08.000I thought it was interesting that he distanced himself from Tommy Robinson.
00:06:12.000I myself continue to struggle with the generalised vilification of Muslim people or any of God's children because we are all worthy of love.
00:06:21.000And if we let go of love, we don't have hold on much.
00:06:24.000Let's have a look at the launch of Rupert Lowe's Restore Britain.
00:06:30.000Loads of people have joined, including our very own Massey, an ex-pat hypocrite warming his toes in sweet Toronto while trying to boot Muslims out of Britain, even though he himself is from Iran.
00:06:44.000Have you ever heard such a baffling and confusing manifesto?
00:06:48.000Let's have a look at Rupert Lowe's Restore Party manifesto and see if it's rather more simple than that.
00:06:55.000I have chosen to speak to you today from the farm because places like this represent what proper Britain is about.
00:07:22.000You think in generations, in what you leave behind to those who come after you.
00:07:27.000And that's why, here on the farm, I am now launching Restore Britain as a national political party.
00:07:34.000I'm now going to dedicate my life to finding, organising, funding and providing hundreds of qualified candidates to present to the British people at the next general election.
00:07:46.000The men and women standing for Restore in that election will not be politicians.
00:07:52.000Every single one will be from well outside the existing political establishment and every single one will understand the difficult decisions that need to be taken.
00:08:03.000Well Rupert, I'm going to be in the UK next week.
00:08:07.000That's why I've posted this video on X to directly ask you for a meeting while I'm in the UK to attend a preliminary hearing for one of my forthcoming trials.
00:08:16.000I'll assure you that I'm not guilty and that I will be acquitted and I will be joining you in the fight to restore Britain.
00:08:24.000I'm sure there are areas of dispute but I hope that you recognize that we can be of significant support to one another in this extraordinary and transformative time.
00:08:45.00060,000 people have joined in a very short period of time.
00:08:49.000And let's see what Nigel Farage, let's see what Nigel Farage has to say about the reason that Rupert Lowe, former member of reform, I mean all these things called what reform, restore.
00:09:01.000Everything in Britain's got to be done again.
00:09:39.000Then run your life, your community, your family on that basis.
00:09:43.000Prioritizing, being able to feed and love and adore one another.
00:09:47.000You'll note how a simple idea like that will pull at the very fabric of a globalist society.
00:09:51.000And that's a war that I want to be involved with and a tapestry that needs to be unwoven.
00:09:56.000Here's Farage talking about Rupert Lowe.
00:09:58.000But you see, when he stood up and said that we've got to consider the mass deportation of entire communities, including those born in the United Kingdom, that just moves way beyond the point of reasonableness, of decency, of morality.
00:10:18.000And that was the moment at which, you know, I realized we just had to get rid of him and get rid of him as quickly as we could.
00:10:25.000He out-faraged Farage is the simple truth of Matt.
00:10:28.000Let me know in the comments and chat how you feel about mass deportation.
00:10:31.000Myself, I've got to tell you, particularly about if I think about people that were born in the country, I find it difficult.
00:10:36.000But let me know if you have a different view.
00:10:39.000Indeed, as Stephen Crowder would say, change my mind as to why you should be able to deport people.
00:10:45.000I'm sure some of you saw that brilliant British comedian talking about China and like he did a real good sort of British skit on like I went over to China, noodles everywhere, noodles, can't get no fish and chips or nothing.
00:10:59.000People are blowing him up on X and stuff and rightly so if being blown up is something to be desired.
00:11:06.000Here's Rupert Lowe saying his house got raided after claims by Zia Youssef backing from alleging backing from Nigel Farage and reform leadership over deportation comments.
00:11:17.000So it looks like the old Bill turned up at his gaff.
00:11:21.000that ain't easily done in the united kingdom let me tell you um britains do not support matt goodwin from reform says britain's do not support deporting rape gang communities We're just a simple rape gang community.
00:12:04.000Yeah, I think if you do know about a rape gang and you're not doing anything about a rape gang, rounding up seems, yeah, it never sounds good rounding up as a phrase, I've got to tell you.
00:12:26.000Because of resistance, you know that, don't you?
00:12:27.000The reason that Britain under Starmer didn't push ahead with digital IDs because there was so much resistance online, so much vocal dissent that they realized this turkey ain't gonna fly.
00:12:40.000But believe me, once they get the control that they're looking to get over social media, they will push again.
00:12:45.000They kind of, like it was you that said, actually, Joe, often there are measures that increase authority and it might rescind a little bit, but it never rescinds all the way.
00:12:54.000Ever since COVID, things have been a little bit of a choke, ain't they?
00:12:56.000Things have not quite gone back to normal.
00:12:58.000So with whatever is in the next COVID, whether it's a war or a climate change thing or whatever they're working on right now, after that, you'll be pushed a little bit further.
00:13:07.000More and more normalized comes the system of authoritarianism and control.
00:13:40.000Well, you shouldn't be surprised actually because as soon as terrorism is used to describe anything, one has to unpick what the word actually is embedded with.
00:13:50.000I mean, for some, what's interesting, if you're British and my age, you'll remember that in the 1970s and 80s, we regarded the Irish nationalist movement as terrorist.
00:14:00.000It led to people being falsely imprisoned.
00:14:03.000It led to judicial principles being suspended.
00:14:06.000And it led to the entire cause of Irish nationalism being regarded as malign, as a kind of terrorism.
00:14:12.000Over time, people recognized that it was British colonization that was in fact the problem, not Irish nationalism.
00:14:19.000And very gently, we had to look at leaders like Mike McGuinness and Jerry Adams as political figures rather than inverted commas terrorists.
00:14:31.000What's unique about our time is that in every country in the world there are nationalist movements.
00:14:36.000There seem to be general concerns around the following.
00:14:39.000People are concerned about food production and farms.
00:14:41.000People are obviously concerned about migration.
00:14:44.000People in European nations in the United States of America are concerned about their cultural identity and the decimation of Christianity in particular and the principles that are packed into and unfold from Christianity.
00:14:55.000Like Elon Musk the other day, have a look at this post said, I'm a cultural Christian.
00:14:59.000The fact is cultural Christian is an oxymoron because actually the principles of Christianity ultimately amount to the spiritual domain being superior to the material domain and that if your decisions are based in the material domain, not the spiritual domain, i.e. the unseen has to supersede the seen.
00:15:55.000Nevertheless, Rupert Lowe and the Restore Britain movement is probably advantageous because anything that fractures and splinters the hegemonic control of centralized political parties like Labour and the Conservative Party, that whichever one you put in power, same as in your country, you ultimately end up with the same institutions and deep state interests and globalist overlords still calling the shots.
00:16:16.000If you start introducing a variety of even opposing political ideologies, it's quite likely that you'll in the end be able to achieve a level of pushback or even chaos that will be advantageous.
00:16:30.000Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
00:16:32.000Restore Britain, chance would be a fine thing, and even an attempt has to be supported.
00:16:37.000Let me know what you think in the comments and chats, you guys.
00:16:39.000Okay, well, it's time now for a quick message from one of our partners without whom we wouldn't be able to make this delicious, sweet, salty content.
00:18:26.000The IRS enforcing collections through wage garnishments, bank levies, and property seizures.
00:18:32.000They can even file for you without your consent.
00:18:34.000This is where Tax Network USA comes in.
00:18:36.000With over 15 years in business, there hasn't been a tax case they haven't seen or resolved.
00:18:41.000They specialize in tax controversies and help taxpayers nationwide get back on track by resolving back taxes and unfiled returns once and for all.
00:18:48.000Whether you owe $10,000 or $10 million, their team has resolved over $1 billion in tax debt.
00:20:08.000Just some little ding-a-ling in a lunatic asylum sitting around waiting for death, waiting for your next shot, waiting for your next dose of medication, waiting to be told what to do to belong to a nation, waiting for what product to consume, what new pair of sneakers is going to consume you as you consume it back again, what kind of dumb foods you're going to pour down your dumb throat, your dumb neck.
00:20:44.000But it seems to me, not to put too fine a point on it, having sex with children for their own amusement.
00:20:50.000Did any of you notice that in the background of Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece at the milk bar?
00:20:55.000The word adrenochrome was clearly written.
00:20:58.000I just saw an X. Maybe someone just added it.
00:21:00.000You can't trust anything these days, can you?
00:21:02.000Before we get into the Epstein files and the paedophiles and the latest revelations of those kinky little one-island one-man nations and other billionaires that live in that archipelago of publisher pleasure, let's have a look at what they're doing over at polymarkets.
00:21:50.000You get long ones, thin ones, flossy ones.
00:21:53.000You get ones that aren't there at all.
00:21:55.000But if you pop to Epstein Island, you'll have a cue ball because they're peoples.
00:22:04.000And they're living large and they're in charge.
00:22:06.000So while you're worrying about which political party to vote for and how poor you are and what food to eat, they're over there in the sun having sex with kids.
00:24:59.000Let me know in the comments and chat if you regard this to be an occultist or primarily financial endeavor.
00:25:04.000Someone like Mike Benz would say that if you focus on the fact that Jeffrey Epstein is fundamentally a financier, you will learn more than if you focus on the fact that he's a paedophile.
00:25:13.000Not saying that financial crime is worse than paedophilia, of course, just that the financial crimes are a better signature or improper or direction of what the power is actually about.
00:25:24.000So do you consider it to be materialistic or occultist?
00:25:35.000Like most people, I was very disturbed by this image, but I think it's important that we dissect it because I believe there may have been some clues left behind.
00:25:42.000So to get started, we have this stack of money.
00:26:57.000I mean, I say it looks directly like that painting has come from precisely the image that's been pulled.
00:27:02.000Those Epstein files, I suppose, on a perusal as deep as I've been able to provide, seem like they demonstrate that many of the dismissed conspiracy theories like pizza and hot dogs and Coca-Cola and innocuous code words used to describe sex acts with children appears not to be a highfalute in conspiracy, but sort of almost the basis for all of their comms.
00:27:30.000Someone pointed out, I saw that between around the period of 9-11, the immediate time before and after, there's a sudden dearth of availability of material.
00:27:40.000And what the Epstein Files really does, as we've said many times on this show, is it draws the silhouette around the shape of global power.
00:27:51.000It shows you once and for all, like that brilliant email I saw from a sort of a Syrian journalist, an analyst of Syrian politics.
00:28:01.000He said that for a long time, we've had this sense that what we see on the political stage is not really how power operates.
00:28:09.000And the Epstein files helps you to understand that there are indeed secondary and tertiary sources of power that are much more impactful than the sort of characters we're all invested in.
00:28:22.000And he even included tech billionaires in that.
00:28:24.000And to tell you the truth, that's what sort of died in the wall, Ty died in the wall, crackers old reptilian-fearing conspiracy theorists like David Icke have been saying for a very, very long time.
00:28:37.000Now, as well as the outrageous and appalling sex stuff, as I suppose indicated by that Snow White painting, we're also interested in the way that primarily I'm interested in how it intersects with world power.
00:28:51.000And this exchange on the Rogan show, I think if you ain't talking, mute, because otherwise weird little things happen.
00:28:58.000So mute you guys, because I'm picking up stuff on here on my inear.
00:29:03.000So maybe just arbitrary noises getting picked up.
00:29:05.000So here is a moment on Joe Rogan where it appears that Jeffrey Epstein is talking about pandemic planning with someone named Bill.
00:29:14.000Do we know anyone called Bill that really shouldn't have had anything to do with the pandemic but was always going on about take vaccines, take vaccines?
00:29:31.000Jeffrey Epstein is talking about pandemic planning to someone named Bill whose name is redacted.
00:29:37.000It's like, why are you redacting the guy's name that you're talking about planning for a pandemic, like what to do in response to a pandemic?
00:30:08.000I mean, I am a British person living in another country.
00:30:11.000When I first went to Spain and I found out they thought we were all perverts, I was very, well, I was so disappointed, I very nearly left the whorehouse.
00:30:18.000And with the Americans, the Chinese clearly think that, well, I don't know, because I've not watched it yet.
00:30:25.000Let's see what they think about these Epstein files.
00:30:27.000So the Epstein files are out, millions of pages, thousands of videos in order from Congress.
00:30:34.000Well, Democrats accused the Attorney General of a cover-up.
00:30:37.000The Attorney General caused a senior congressman a washed up loser lawyer.
00:30:42.000Victims sitting in the room watching their accusers' names blacked out while their own names, their photographs, their suffering are leaked to the public.
00:30:51.000Welcome to accountability, Western style.
00:30:55.000For years, the Western elites, the Western men, have stood on what they call the moral high ground.
00:31:00.000They lecture other countries on human rights.
00:31:02.000Has this been translated or was it in English originally?
00:31:06.000Because if it's in English, if it's not in Mandarin, then they're talking to English speakers primarily.
00:31:11.000And I mean, so it doesn't have the same function, does it?
00:31:17.000Like who that's some Chinese media intended for English speakers.
00:31:52.000We should start there when we're doing a short form of this.
00:31:54.000The courts, the banks, the politicians, even some academic institutions.
00:32:00.000Not evil in some movie sense, silent partners in real world sense.
00:32:06.000Silent through doing nothing, through convenient forgetfulness, through the quiet belief that some men are too powerful to ever be brought down.
00:32:15.000And yet these same institutions continue to grade the rest of the world on human rights, continue to issue report cards on judicial reform, continue to act as if they're the world's moral judge.
00:32:27.000The lease on that high ground has run out.
00:32:31.000It ran out in Florida courthouse in 2008.
00:32:34.000It ran out on the private Caribbean island with a Harvard professor as a guest.
00:32:38.000It ran out this month on the live television when a victim had to watch her abuser's name been blacked out while her own name staying in plain sight.
00:32:49.000The Western elites wanted to be judged by their good intentions.
00:32:52.000Unfortunately for them, the Epstein files contain only the facts.
00:33:14.000Like the claim that's made about independent media that you can't trust it, that it's misinformation, I think is extraordinarily and supremely true of centralized media.
00:33:22.000Because centralized or nationalized media, whether you're talking about BBC or Russian or Islamic or Chinese state media, it has already been centralized.
00:33:34.000Independent media, by its nature, is a diffuse mosaic of various and competing voices, where I think you can somewhat aggregate a type of truth from it.
00:33:45.000I mean, I suppose I watch a different type of independent media to you, huh?
00:33:50.000Because we're all fed whatever our algorithms feed us.
00:33:54.000But what I would say is when it comes to looking at proportional veracity, state media is going to be a lot less reliable than independent media, not more.
00:34:06.000And that's what the majority of people have realized.
00:34:07.000And that's why newspapers are in extraordinary trouble.
00:34:10.000That's why televisual broadcast conventional media is in trouble because their primary function has always been control and spellbind.
00:34:20.000Whether that's through entertainment artifacts like movies and entertainment TV, whether it's been through the pushing of commodity and commercial entities or its role as the purveyor of state-sanctioned news.
00:34:36.000Whereas independent media, once in a while you'll get Candice Owens or you'll get Ben Shapiro.
00:34:41.000I'm not making claims for the individual actually because they're human beings and they're all flawed and they're all broken and they all make mistakes and they'll all let you down.
00:34:48.000But collectively, say if you watch a little bit of Jimmy Doerr, then you watch someone I don't know, Sam Cedar or Owen Jones, I'm deliberately selecting people from what you would regard as the left.
00:34:59.000Or if you start to gain more and more access to spiritual material online, you start to recognize that the world as rendered through MSNBC or Fox or the BBC is not a world that you can rely on and it's certainly not a world you should live in.
00:35:12.000It's a world that wants to sell you certain products and wants you to be obedient and complacent.
00:35:17.000And I'm a participator in independent media and I don't want you to be obedient or complacent.
00:35:21.000I want you to be awake, rebellious against systems of man and devoted to the system of God.
00:35:40.000Alex Jones being pressed on Pizzagate.
00:35:43.000Talking about on your show is your allegation that government officials are aiding in pedophilia, child trafficking, and the grooming of children.
00:35:54.000you mean like what jeffrey epstein did with the cleanse the world is changing very very quickly Hang on to your hat and find something permanent and reliable.
00:36:18.000And there is only one thing that is either of those.
00:36:27.000There's nothing else I can really offer you.
00:36:29.000Okay, so the Epstein Files continues to demonstrate that there are centralized forces that are elite that try to obfuscate their real connection to power.
00:36:38.000And while we're all down here eating Doritos and scratching at ourselves like vermin, they're getting on with a real business of running the world.
00:36:47.000It doesn't have to be that way anymore.
00:36:49.000We can create systems of localized control and transparent communication using the great gifts of technology decoupled from oligarchy.
00:36:57.000The only way we're ever going to do that is if we're willing to submit at the level of the individual to the supreme truth of Christ.
00:37:04.000Even if you can't and don't want to and refuse to submit to Christ, you have to join with the people that are coming from that perspective because the alternative, secularism, materialism, rationalism, you now know where that's going.
00:38:14.000And with Hollywood, what I experienced a bit, I don't think that I was fully allowed into the upper echelons.
00:38:21.000And thank the Lord I wasn't because I don't know that I'd have had, I know that I wouldn't have had the moral fortitude to resist the availability of sex with adults, for example.
00:38:28.000If people say have sex with a bunch of adults concentrally, I'd be like, well, yeah, I don't know that there's anything else to be doing, is there?
00:38:35.000I mean, that'sn't that the whole point of life.
00:38:38.000And, you know, until quite recently, first through family and now irreversibly through our Lord and Savior, I would have thought, like a lot of people, that pleasure is where it's at, but not now, baby.
00:39:10.000And then Jake's got something called Mouse Paradise, which I think is how he's trying to advertise his own anus as a mouse paradise, coaxing them in there with a little trail of cheese.
00:40:02.000And then the gunners came for him and he become a legend.
00:40:05.000And if anyone has ever seen Ian Wright, who's one of the top scorers that top flight football in the UK ever saw, brilliant as an England international, but there was a lot of good strikers on the national scene at that time.
00:41:51.000One of the cultural projects that I did feel like somewhat irked by was the reframing of football.
00:41:57.000Like where I'd go to read about football.
00:41:59.000They'd put women's football in there and you'd sort of read Arsenal beat Man New or, you know, Chelsea draw with City or whatever.
00:42:06.000And you think, I didn't know there was a game on and it's about the women's team.
00:42:09.000You think, why are you doing this for?
00:42:11.000And I think like, in a sense, Shane Gillis has irreversibly launched that when announcing the name of a friend at an award show and claiming it was a WNBA player and everyone cheering.
00:42:27.000The reason is, is like where capitalism, where capitalism works is if there's a market for it, there's a market for it.
00:42:34.000If there ain't a market for it, there ain't a market for it.
00:42:36.000And the thing is with me with football, I never played football, but I've been going to West Ham all my life.
00:42:43.000And it's part, I feel like it belongs to me.
00:42:46.000Now, as I've gotten educated about the true nature of all entertainment and the ownership models of football clubs and the function that football likely fulfills in a culture and how dramatically and aggressively it's shut down when football fans start to organise as they have done in Italy, as they have done on Merseyside, as they have done in Glasgow, Scotland, when football fans start to show that they've got an identity, that they're a powerful group, man, they get shut down fast.
00:43:14.000The process of sanitising British football was a fascinating cultural and social experiment because it was one of the few places where working men had pride.
00:43:21.000They really over emphasized the violent aspect of football culture, I think, to legitimise its control.
00:43:30.000Of course, it's terrible when there's violence.
00:43:32.000If you've been at a football match and there's violence, it's been a little bit scary, maybe not for Joe, but for me, I was always a bit scared when it would kick off at football.
00:43:39.000But it's also exhilarating and kind of crazy.
00:43:43.000And the truth of the matter is, some of that energy is going to be required if the people of Britain are going to reclaim control over their streets.
00:43:50.000Obviously, I'm advocating for a type of virility, life force, a sense of ownership, a connection to your land, your community, and your club.
00:43:58.000Indeed, I think that football clubs should be owned by the community.
00:44:01.000I think they should be re-nationalized as a result of an electoral mandate.
00:44:05.000It certainly would be a policy if I was running for government anywhere.
00:44:08.000Reclaim football clubs from the billionaire class, usually foreign that own them, give them to the community, have them run directly.
00:44:16.000In fact, I've only one principle, and that principle has already won: democracy.
00:44:21.000Every single Western country, when people are going to war in Afghanistan or Iraq or Iran or anywhere, they're always saying it's to bring democracy.
00:44:28.000Well, let's bring democracy to the United Kingdom.
00:44:31.000Let's bring democracy to the United States of America.
00:44:35.000And in that instance, man means person, adult person.
00:44:39.000And while they seem to be lassoing new populations in over in the UK, at least 16-year-olds under the belief that that will prop up a Labour government for a little more time, democracy really is about having control over your own life, having control over your own community.
00:44:52.000And football is one of the places where people wouldn't let go of their power and control.
00:44:57.000And the attempts, understandable, to feminise football is one thing.
00:45:03.000And I don't agree with that thing actually.
00:45:06.000At female football, if women like my little daughters want to play football, they should play football.
00:45:10.000If a culture develops around it and money develops around it, cool, make your money.
00:45:14.000But when people that follow football, because not because it's men doing it, but because that's the team their dad supported and their granddad supported, it's the team that they watch and they've memorized all their names and they've memorized that whole culture to try to colonize that with, under the auspices, as usual, of helping the vulnerable, it's just another, another strained out stool of bullshit on a big, deep pile of bullshit that this culture's tipped over.
00:45:38.000Everything beautiful that Ian Right clip, if youan right right right, let's have a.
00:45:43.000Let's have a look at Ian Uh right um, meeting his teacher.
00:45:47.000Then we'll have a look at this Na Aluko stuff and I don't know anything about any Aluco.
00:45:51.000She's female British footballer, we'll get into her in a minute, but one thing she said is that Ian Right should give up his spot commentating on women's football to, I think, her specifically.
00:46:00.000Here's the moment that international England footballer Ian Right encountered the man that had taught him at school and a man that encouraged Ian Right when he felt a little lost in this world and like he maybe wouldn't make it.
00:46:13.000Check it out, Ian's still the highest scoring striker ever to play for Arsenal and he owes a lot to the man who first taught him to kick a ball his old school teacher, Sid Pigden, as I haven't seen him for what?
00:46:27.00023, 24 years, and so he would now be expecting me to be six feet under.
00:48:16.000And I suppose, in a way, is a good partner to the clip of any aluku because I think any man worth his salt recognizes that women similarly need cultural, safe spaces.
00:48:29.000But in it odd that the same cultural voices that would deny women the right to, for example, have safe access to bathrooms without men going in them would also say, oh, that women's sports and men's sports should be merged and women should be paid the same as men when it comes to football.
00:48:44.000This is such a confusing ideology because it's based on individualism and it's based on the supremacy of the human rational position.
00:48:51.000It's a position that doesn't make sense.
00:49:13.000You barely even note the racial dynamics.
00:49:15.000That's a white man probably teaching at school in the 1970s when Britain was meant to be his darkest and most racist, just plainly loving on a, I guess, I bet Wright's mum come over Windrush nursing.
00:49:28.000And look at that, just pure, pure, unadulterated, unquestioning love.
00:49:34.000Let's have a look at the counter-argument that the state needs to manage everything, that woke ideology and compassion needs to replace the true compassion of our human hearts.
00:49:44.000As I've encountered Annie in short form and long form, we've had a conversation about something to do with the commerciality of football, which I thought Annie talked with no commercial sense.
00:49:54.000I've seen her in long form in podcasts where she's ideologically aligned with a perspective that over-representation is based upon merit and under-representation is based upon structural racism.
00:50:05.000And I find that a difficult circle to square.
00:50:08.000When I listen to her as a pundit, I don't think that she's particularly enlightening or illuminating or engaging or charismatic or sometimes comes across particularly likable.
00:50:18.000And some people have the same view about me.
00:50:20.000And my view of punditry is when I listen to a pundit, whoever that pundit might be, whatever they may be, whether it's male, female, black, white, yellow, green, it's do I learn something for them?
00:50:38.000I think because of initiatives like DEI, they've allowed people to be put into positions in the men's game that I don't think they've merited.
00:50:46.000And now that sort of seeds an attitude that you become a stalwart in the women's game.
00:50:49.000And I listen to your observations about Ian.
00:50:51.000And Ian Wright is in the Ian Wright business, has always been.
00:50:53.000I've known Ian for 25 years and I have my own views on him.
00:50:56.000Ian is not in any shape or form obligated to provide any support structure for you or to give you a sense of entitlement.
00:51:02.000And your position now as a broadcaster will be determined by the value of you.
00:51:07.000And the fact that people potentially aren't booking you now should give you pause to thought.
00:51:11.000The reasons why we're talking about this is because Annie wants to talk about it.
00:51:15.000And as I've said, and I don't make no apology for saying it, I think we're giving her more airtime than the subject merits.
00:51:21.000But here we are, where we are, and this is the media of today.
00:51:24.000I only take the value of a people's opinion from someone whose opinion I respect.
00:51:30.000And my opinion, to some extent, shouldn't be relevant to you.
00:51:33.000And if you are strong in the views that you have, I admire you for having the strength of them.
00:51:37.000But everything that you seem to portray in life seems to be that every disadvantage that you have is because either you're a woman or because you're black.
00:51:44.000And it's got nothing to do with your contribution to the outcome to the equation.
00:51:48.000It's interesting because you can't argue that in the most general sense, black women have suffered in a general way globally.
00:51:56.000And you could collapse that into, if you wanted to, at the hands of white men, strong white men.
00:52:01.000But in that situation, in that particular specific conversation, not a generalized one, and racism is about a generalization.
00:52:08.000Simon Jordan's talking about meritocracy and capitalism and media are meritocratic environments.
00:52:15.000Otherwise, everyone will be on the television all the time, which basically is what's happening right now.
00:52:19.000Difficult to see someone as lucid and articulate and as strong and persuasive as Simon Jordan with someone like any there who I think, on the basis of that obviously edited exchange, don't look like she belongs in the game.
00:52:31.000Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
00:52:34.000Why was it Joe, that you brought this clip up mate?
00:52:38.000I just thought it was an interesting talking point.
00:52:40.000It's um yeah, it's all over social media and all that at a minute, and I kind of thought she's got a good point there really about, you know, maybe keeping the two things separate.
00:52:50.000Like I want to hear Ian Wright breaking down the footy on match of the day.
00:52:54.000I would not want to hear any Iluko talking about the men's game.
00:52:58.000However, if you was watching women's football, she's probably got a better insight because she's played for England than that and she's, I don't know, got a couple of hundred caps or whatever.
00:53:06.000So maybe if you're a woman watching women's football, you want to hear her point of view rather than Ian Wright.
00:53:12.000But then you know you've got presenters that like present the panels and whatnot, and that's a different thing altogether.
00:53:18.000Innit, I don't think you need any sort of footballing knowledge to do that.
00:53:21.000It's all about how you communicate and how you sort of present yourself.
00:53:31.000I guess the sort of media models now changing so much that anyone can just if you wanted to watch women's football and any Aluku commentating on everything you can like she can have a channel now.
00:53:43.000She don't need to go through the brokerage and gatekeepers of, be it TALK Sport, which is owned by NEWS International, which is ultimately a global media conglomerate which has the intentions that all global conglomerates have, or the BBC state sanctioned, much more likely to give her a gig.
00:54:03.000You're pretty invested in American sport, both as a coach of boys football and as a boating father of the presumed athlete, young Josiah there.
00:54:12.000Like, what do you think about the sort of way that the culture impacts sport, Jake?
00:54:20.000I think at the end of the day, if somebody has talent and ability and they bring something to the table that's worthy of being listened to as a coach, then they'll find their way.
00:54:43.000You're propping something up that nobody really wants because they're going to keep going to the people that they find as the authority on the sport.
00:54:55.000Even if you came from a poor background or you, you know, low socioeconomic status or whatever, if you're good at what you do as a coach, as an athlete, you'll find your way into people's lives.
00:55:10.000Yeah, that's the point of sport anyway, innit?
00:55:13.000It's like, well, in this frame, life's so complicated.
00:55:18.000You had this background, he had this background, you've got access to this training.
00:55:22.000You're Ivan Drago taking all them tablets while poor Rocky suffers in the cold and snow.
00:55:29.000But like sport, the point of sport is for that 90 minutes or during those 15 rounds, it's you and you.
00:55:38.000If you start sort of meddling with it, you know, it's hard enough to sustain it in our country when you start going, well, this football team's got this amount of money and that football team's got that amount of money.
00:55:48.000One of the things when I started to notice the culture was falling apart in the UK prior to arriving at an absolute position, let alone a Christian one, was when you try to listen to people talking about football, like Simon Jordan there, who's an excellent, excellent pundit, they were talking about politics all of the time.
00:56:06.000Like they're talking about money, they're talking about fan issues, they're talking about activism.
00:56:10.000And it became difficult to understand why politics was entering every quarter of life.
00:56:16.000Now, a post-structuralist say would go, well, hold on, Poppy Day.
00:56:21.000That's the argument they always use, like Poppy Day and nationalism.
00:56:25.000Displays of nationalism are political.
00:56:28.000So, you know, having rainbow laces for the LGBTQ plus folks, what's the difference between that and having poppies for the dead soldiers?
00:56:36.000And I suppose a meritocratic argument there would be, well, soldiers have died for what they believe in.
00:56:41.000But then the counter-argument to that is, no, you're not celebrating those dead soldiers.
00:56:47.000And now someone with some mixed heritage like Joe there with connections to like colonized nations like Scotland and Ireland would recognize, oh yeah, like they might tell you that the poppy is celebrating the fallen soldier in the same way the United States of America is just exquisite at claiming that everything's being done because of the troops to support the troops.
00:57:09.000But if you speak to people that spent any time in the military, they know more than any of us how they are exploited and manipulated to serve the interests of all powerful elites.
00:57:19.000So sport is political, is a way of understanding and framing politics.
00:57:30.000That's why sport endures and survives.
00:57:32.000But when the culture starts to infiltrate sport, I think it shows you a lot about what is beautiful in sport and a lot about what is disgusting in the culture.
00:57:41.000The culture has taken to always trying to mask a bad objective behind a good one.
00:58:18.000But if something's going to be a great big spectacle that's about making money, then don't expect people to spend money on people that are less good at it.
00:58:54.000And let me tell you, the last place you'd want them, little bastards, is up your bum.
00:58:58.000It was enough of a nuisance, have them in your bedroom, eating their little babies, eating one another's babies, scrabbling, scratching, little leather teeth all getting too long.
00:59:06.000They have to be gnawed down, little fuckers.
00:59:08.000Although when there was one time, I had two gold ones, two white ones, like one had a little.
01:02:01.000The devices that we hold forever in our hands are portals to narcissism, black mirrors, literally reflecting us back to ourselves, continually setting, as our man there said, unachievable standards.
01:02:14.000We ain't evolved nor designed to live in those conditions.
01:02:17.000Small communities where you form social bonds, where you know people, where you know who's looking after your kids, where you know where your food has come from.
01:02:23.000It's possible that technology could be redirected towards creating autonomous, directly democratic community.
01:02:31.000Why not join us in that perfect project?
01:02:34.000Probably because you don't feel it's possible.
01:02:36.000Then surrender to Christ and become his hands.
01:02:42.000So, you know, you can even from the little mice, we can learn something, can't we?
01:02:50.000What about them beautiful mice, the little narcissists, little punces they was, grooming themselves in a corner because they couldn't get it up.
01:02:56.000I don't want to become a little sexy little mouse.
01:02:59.000For a minute, I liked the ideas of the beautiful mice.
01:03:01.000I thought, then my kind of mouse, little slick Fonzie mice.
01:03:05.000Because when I had that mouse living in my hair, Elvis, when I was at drama school, Elvis the mouse was his name.
