00:00:30.360 Hey everybody, how's it going?
00:00:31.960 Thanks for joining me this afternoon.
00:00:33.720 I've got a great stream with a great guest that I think you're really going to enjoy.
00:00:37.720 So I'm sure many of you have already seen,
00:00:40.300 but there was an altercation between the police in the UK,
00:00:44.120 an autistic girl.
00:00:45.380 There had been some accusations that she had trans-regressed,
00:00:49.120 some kind of homophobic ordinance,
00:00:51.520 by pointing out that one of the police officers
00:00:53.520 looked a little bit like her grandma that was a lesbian.
00:00:56.520 Pretty ridiculous, insane video.
00:00:58.540 We'll get into that and kind of its implications for the wider question of free speech in the West.
00:01:03.600 But joining me today to talk about all that is Harry Robinson.
00:01:06.900 He is a presenter over at the Lotus Eaters.
00:01:09.260 Thanks for joining me, man.
00:01:10.000 Thank you very much for having me on.
00:01:12.280 I was saying just before we started, it's great to meet you finally.
00:01:14.560 We've spoken a few times over message,
00:01:16.020 but this is the first time we're speaking as close to face-to-face as you can get online.
00:01:20.480 But it's great to be here.
00:01:21.640 Thank you very much for inviting me on.
00:01:23.080 And to everybody watching from home right now, I apologize for my somewhat primitive setup.
00:01:28.420 This is generally where the magic happens, because at the moment,
00:01:30.880 I don't have an office space of my own to record from, shall we say.
00:01:36.280 So yes, this is where the magic happens, hamster and all.
00:01:39.320 Yeah, no, I'm definitely happy to have you on.
00:01:41.140 Like you said, we've spoken a number of times.
00:01:42.980 And most importantly, Harry has excellent music taste.
00:01:46.120 He also appreciates power metal and knows that it is the best of all metal.
00:01:51.820 I've always wanted to say this whenever I watch your streams before,
00:01:54.940 but I really do like the panel's artwork that you've got in the background at the moment.
00:01:58.940 Formation of Damnation, Testament, great album.
00:02:01.760 Absolutely, yeah.
00:02:02.540 No, the rotating album covers is always fun.
00:02:05.880 I always have people leaving comments in the background of the video.
00:02:08.940 Hey, what's that one?
00:02:09.740 I got two out of three.
00:02:10.540 What's the third one over there?
00:02:11.560 So that's always fun for everybody.
00:02:13.980 But all right, guys, we're going to go ahead and dive into all that
00:02:16.020 in just a second.
00:02:16.800 But before we do, let's go ahead and hear from Magic Spoon.
00:02:19.580 Hey, guys, like most of you, I have fond memories of waking up at the crack of dawn,
00:02:23.280 excited to watch all the Saturday morning cartoons.
00:02:26.320 Mom didn't want to wake up that early on Saturday,
00:02:28.560 so that meant that we got to pour a bowl of our favorite cereal for breakfast.
00:02:32.140 They tasted great, but of course, they're full of sugar,
00:02:34.900 and they're not that healthy, which is why it was a treat.
00:02:37.100 But now Magic Spoon has an alternative to that cereal you love
00:02:40.280 that has zero sugar but still tastes great.
00:02:43.000 There's a bunch of different flavors,
00:02:44.160 but they have a nice variety pack to get you started with cocoa,
00:02:47.520 fruity, frosted, and peanut butter.
00:02:50.060 The variety pack has zero grams of sugar, 13 to 14 grams of protein,
00:02:54.240 and four to five grams of net carbs per serving.
00:02:57.280 And each serving is only 140 calories.
00:02:59.880 The cereal checks a lot of boxes for people because it's high protein,
00:03:03.280 has zero sugar, it's keto-friendly, gluten-free, grain-free, and soy-free.
00:03:09.000 You might be skeptical about sugarless high-protein cereal,
00:03:11.940 but I can tell you it actually tastes great.
00:03:14.340 Peanut butter was my personal favorite,
00:03:16.180 but my wife and the little guy were big fans of the fruity flavor.
00:03:19.280 And they both really like cereal,
00:03:20.800 so it's nice to have a no-sugar, high-protein option.

00:03:52.420 All right, guys, so let's go ahead and jump in.
00:03:57.300 I'm just going to show you the video here so you can get an idea of what we're doing.
00:04:01.080 The part that we missed so far is there's about seven police officers,
00:04:05.640 excuse me, about seven police officers approaching the home.
00:04:09.480 They've already entered the home after kind of following this 16-year-old girl in.
00:04:15.380 But let's go ahead and watch what happens here.
00:04:17.360 Yep, that's what I get for not pre-rolling that video.
00:04:22.240 There we go.
00:04:24.880 Well, as it's preparing, we can go ahead and give a little bit of an outline of what happened here.
00:04:29.760 So, Harry, I think a lot of people would be surprised to find out.
00:04:33.200 Hold on, here we go.
00:04:34.580 Okay.
00:04:35.240 Sorry about that, guys.
00:04:36.080 Here's the video.
00:04:39.480 Oh, it was lying to me.
00:04:40.600 Oh, the horrible.
00:04:44.080 No fortune does not smile upon us this evening.
00:04:45.920 It does not.
00:04:46.320 It does not.
00:04:46.900 All right, so we'll just go ahead and head in here, guys.
00:04:49.720 So, a lot of people would be surprised, I think, to find out that there's some kind of homophobic ordinance going on here with the police of, what is it, Yorkshire, right?
00:05:02.900 West Yorkshire.
00:05:03.660 West Yorkshire, yes.
00:05:04.240 Not Yorkshire, Yorkshire.
00:05:06.440 Yes, sorry.
00:05:07.420 Yes, we'll get the pronunciation.
00:05:08.660 I need to correct you, Americans, on the pronunciation of all these.
00:05:11.160 I do appreciate it, yes.
00:05:12.840 So, I think a lot of people would be surprised that there's an ordinance about that.
00:05:16.940 Now, if I can get this video working at some point, we'll watch the actual footage.
00:05:21.220 But, obviously, these police come in, and this 16-year-old girl is sitting in a closet.
00:05:26.500 There's a bunch of police officers surrounding here.
00:05:28.140 They're all trying to pull her out.
00:05:29.400 They're trying to arrest her.
00:05:30.240 The mom is saying, my daughter is autistic.
00:05:33.480 What are you doing?
00:05:34.680 She doesn't know what she was saying.
00:05:36.900 She has a grandma that's a lesbian.
00:05:40.280 She said, you kind of look like her grandma, who is also a lesbian.
00:05:43.620 And all of a sudden, this is an arrestable offense.
00:05:45.940 What's happening here?
00:05:46.660 Well, it is a very distressing video to watch.
00:05:50.580 So, in the UK, we have a law from 1986, which consolidated a few other laws.
00:05:56.700 A lot of the laws that we exist under in the UK right now, the legislation is consolidation
00:06:01.120 of various other laws that have been put into place over the centuries, in some cases, because
00:06:06.720 England's a very, very old country.
00:06:08.760 And this has been the case of a public order offense.
00:06:11.940 This was a law that was put into place in 1986 under Margaret Thatcher.
00:06:16.460 And if I just look here, so it's Section 4 of the Public Order Act, 1986.
00:06:21.420 It makes it an offense for a person to use threatening, abusive, or insulting words or behavior that
00:06:26.540 causes or is likely to cause another person harassment, alarm, or distress.
00:06:30.100 Now, in 2010, I believe it was, some year recently, yeah, it was amended in 2010, Part 3A of the law was,
00:06:39.020 to make it an offense to have any law, any insult or kind of behavior, or anything that could really
00:06:46.340 be inferred as being homophobic, transphobic, all of the different phobias and different speech
00:06:53.740 codes that we have these days that you're not allowed to breach.
00:06:56.960 We've got the line here, and that added an extra dimension to the line that you're not allowed to step over.
00:07:02.060 And it's just really sad to see when something like this happens, because, like you say, when you're watching
00:07:06.320 the video, it's not that the woman is, would rightly, if you ask me, she would be right in saying that this
00:07:14.420 isn't something that should be prosecuted in the first place.
00:07:16.720 What she said was that you look like my lesbian nana.
00:07:19.700 Now, not only is this girl autistic, to add a little bit of context onto it as well, she's 16 years old,
00:07:25.980 and the police were involved in this situation in the first place because she was drunk at a local
00:07:30.480 supermarket or shopping mall, for you Americans at a shopping center.
00:07:34.640 I believe she was drunk, she was causing some commotion, so they had, the mum thought she was
00:07:39.540 staying over at somebody else's house, one of her friend's houses.
00:07:41.900 So she called the police, they went and picked her up, and they brought her back.
00:07:46.120 So reasonably, they were doing a decent duty here.
00:07:49.300 This is something that I can support, the idea that the police upholding law and order
00:07:54.140 and also preventing young, stupid kids from going out and really making arses of themselves,
00:08:00.840 as young teenagers are wont to do.
00:08:03.300 I mean, 16 years old, we all make stupid decisions, and we, you know, I'm not going to say that I didn't
00:08:09.340 go out and get drunk a little bit when I was a bit too young to do so, but the police go out,
00:08:14.460 they bring her back, as they're putting her through the door, she remarks to one police officer
00:08:18.660 that you look like my lesbian nana, and then this entire situation unfolds.
00:08:23.100 Now, this isn't something that the mum is going, this shouldn't be a law in the first place,
00:08:26.940 this is ridiculous.
00:08:27.960 The mother is pleading, trying to add context to this.
00:08:31.040 Well, she does have a nana who is a lesbian, and you do look a little bit like her, she's autistic.
00:08:36.180 This isn't a situation that should have occurred in the very first place, because reasonably,
00:08:41.320 there shouldn't be speech codes like this that penalize it if somebody makes not an insulting
00:08:46.480 comment, not a harassing comment, not an offensive comment, just an innocent comment, just an
00:08:51.920 observation or a remark.
00:08:53.880 Yeah, there really is that two levels to it, right?
00:08:56.680 Like, first, did she even violate what this ordinance was?
00:08:59.980 Because very obviously, like you said, the comment was innocuous.
00:09:03.480 It's just, you look like someone I know, who has this particular trait.
00:09:07.900 Oh, it's also someone who I love, it's someone I'm, I'm related to.
00:09:11.240 So it's not even a insult, which didn't even qualify as something that would violate this
00:09:16.820 in the first place.
00:09:17.720 But the second question, I think the deeper one, the one that's probably more shocking
00:09:21.380 to a lot of people, especially in the US, is that this law would even exist.
00:09:24.640 And like you said, that this is something that has been attached to law, you know, like
00:09:29.640 a culmination of laws that were originally satiated in the 80s.
00:09:33.440 I feel like we're going to have a lot more to say about kind of how these laws have creeped
00:09:36.980 in over time, both in the UK and the US.
00:09:39.060 But let's try this one more time in hopes that let's see what happens.
00:09:42.260 Share this.
00:09:43.080 We'll see.
00:09:43.380 All right.
00:09:49.060 I don't think it's going to happen today, guys.
00:09:50.860 All right.
00:09:51.160 Well, anyway, do you want me to just sum it up?
00:09:54.700 Because I watched it for.
00:09:55.780 Yeah.
00:09:56.080 Yeah.
00:09:56.320 Why don't you go ahead and sum that up for everybody?
00:09:58.640 So they're in what appears to be some kind of terraced house, which if you're in the UK
00:10:03.600 are very small houses.
00:10:04.820 For those of you in the US, the UK already has very small houses in comparison to what
00:10:09.440 you guys are used to at vastly inflated prices because we've decided all of North and Sub-Saharan
00:10:15.180 Africa needs to migrate over here.
00:10:18.400 For some reason, I think it's to help GDP go up, although I don't see how we and it's
00:10:23.880 a very small corridor.
00:10:24.980 The police are all gathered in there and it all looks really, really cramped.
00:10:28.720 And they have basically bullied their way into this person's home.
00:10:31.800 The young girl, once again, 16 years old, autistic and drunk.
00:10:35.980 So reasonably speaking, someone that you would hope that the police would look after and be
00:10:40.080 taken care of as part of their legal duties is hiding away in a cupboard in the corner,
00:10:46.840 obviously distressed.
00:10:48.220 Her mother's filming the whole thing, screaming at the police, also obviously distressed.
00:10:52.060 While all of these police officers, some of them calmly, but the one who the remark
00:10:56.500 was seemingly directed at, who without wanting to cause a public order offence here, I will
00:11:02.220 say, lived up to this girl's description of her, is also in a rather elevated emotional
00:11:09.020 state and is very, very upset.
00:11:11.120 And she's also shouting back at this family.
00:11:12.960 So a complete breakdown of order, a complete breakdown of the duties that the police should
00:11:17.420 be administering.
00:11:18.300 Because at this point, with the UK, the jokes that all of the US has against us about, have
00:11:24.060 you got a license for that?
00:11:25.420 Sadly, are absolutely true.
00:11:26.820 We are the land of the license, where if you do not have express written governmental
00:11:31.920 permission to do or say something, then you are breaking some law.
00:11:35.880 We have such a vast labyrinth of legislation in this country that probably stepping outside
00:11:41.800 during a sunny day is probably breaking some law out there.
00:11:46.160 Under Tony Blair, I think it was something ridiculous where in the entirety of his administration,
00:11:51.280 there was something like half a dozen laws passed per day under Tony Blair.
00:11:55.960 So we have an absolute maze to navigate.
00:12:00.180 And what I would like to compare this to, I used to work in a call center.
00:12:03.740 Have you ever worked in a call center?
00:12:05.340 I have actually, yeah.
00:12:06.980 Oh, then you'll probably know what I'm talking about here.
00:12:09.060 So if you've ever worked in a call center, you're always given all of these little rules
00:12:12.640 and targets that you have to hit, which you pile up to such an extent, there is no physical
00:12:18.580 way that you have enough time in the day to be able to hit every single one of your targets.
00:12:23.480 This isn't necessarily because the targets ensure that you are performing your job to
00:12:29.180 the best of your abilities.
00:12:30.740 No, what they are instead is because of the fact that middle management types in these
00:12:34.500 businesses are quite vindictive and will try and look for any reason to fire you if you
00:12:39.940 decide to get on their bad side one day.
00:12:41.820 And so all of these laws and therefore all of these rules are set up so that they will
00:12:45.900 have a mountain of minor infractions that they can pull from at any time to be able
00:12:50.320 to fire you if they so desire at that particular moment, if you've annoyed them.
00:12:54.880 Very similar in the UK.
00:12:56.620 You may not necessarily be breaking any major laws.
00:12:59.240 You may not be going out and punching somebody in the face and committing what I would consider
00:13:02.420 to be a real crime.
00:13:04.120 But you will have performed enough minor infractions at any one point that if the police just feel
00:13:08.580 like they want to put the boot to your neck, that they have permission to.
00:13:12.440 Because what this does, it sends out a message to everybody out there.
00:13:15.020 Because, of course, with laws, it doesn't matter exactly necessarily what is written
00:13:19.700 on the paper.
00:13:21.120 What matters is who's interpreting it and who's administering it.
00:13:24.400 And we know for a fact that in the UK right now, I would describe it as a very anti-white
00:13:30.160 regime that we're under.
00:13:32.040 I would say the same in the US as well right now.
00:13:34.700 And if you are not a protected class, if you are a native white Englishman, Welshman, Scott,
00:13:41.500 whichever, this sends out a message that even if you do anything, if you make any small comment
00:13:48.720 that might even just irritate, minorly annoy a police officer, they have complete authority
00:13:54.540 to be able to do whatever you want to break into your home and terrorize you and your family.
00:13:58.640 Anyway, it's all very distressing, to be perfectly honest, because people have an image of the
00:14:04.880 UK across the world sometimes.
00:14:07.860 And I hear this from people even at my own work sometimes, that we're the land that birthed
00:14:12.760 the modern conception of liberty.
00:14:14.260 We had the Magna Carta.
00:14:15.700 We fought a civil war to dispose of a tyrant, King, I think, Charles I, the Stuarts.
00:14:22.540 We deposed the Stuarts because they were going to step all over the liberties of the people.
00:14:26.900 And that's not what we live in.
00:14:28.980 England is not a free country.
00:14:30.380 And I don't think it's been a free country for as long as I've been alive.
00:14:33.220 I'm about 27 years old.
00:14:35.160 And I don't remember a time when this hasn't been the case in the UK.
00:14:39.000 And it's really sad to see.
00:14:41.140 Yeah, it is very confusing because, you know, a lot of us looking at the from the United States,
00:14:46.060 we think, OK, it's, you know, this Bill of Rights, freedom of speech, all these things
00:14:51.140 are from the English tradition, right?
00:14:53.060 The Bill of Rights of the United States is from the English Bill of Rights, you know,
00:14:57.580 the rights enumerated there, you know, that these things all flow.
00:15:02.600 And so this should be this is something that I think Americans just assume is somewhere,
00:15:06.680 you know, kind of inside the English tradition to sustain there.
00:15:10.160 But I mean, we do have a similar speech has been somewhat more protected in the United States,
00:15:17.360 but we do have a similar crush of bureaucratic law, right, especially in the United States
00:15:21.560 when it comes to taxes.
00:15:22.600 The old joke is, which is funny because, you know, we fought a whole war against you guys
00:15:26.300 over taxes.
00:15:26.820 So here we are.
00:15:27.980 But the old joke of the United States is, you know, the IRS knows how much you owe them,
00:15:32.920 but they won't tell you.
00:15:34.060 And if you get it wrong, they'll arrest you for not knowing what they already knew, right?
00:15:39.120 And this is and this is the thing is like every American is a criminal under kind of the
00:15:44.220 current American tax code, if nothing else.
00:15:47.360 And so it's, you know, the regime always has a reason to drop the boot on you.
00:15:51.580 It's just it's just always withholding.
00:15:54.600 It's an entirely an exercise of kind of their sovereign will as to whether or not they'll
00:16:00.460 actually crush you, which is why the kind of the rule of law quickly becomes a joke,
00:16:04.360 right?
00:16:04.620 Because, oh, look, we're a country of laws, not of men.
00:16:08.340 Well, actually, men enforce these laws and actually if you enumerate enough of these laws,
00:16:12.760 everyone's a criminal.
00:16:13.540 And so then the only question is who is deciding whether or not the law gets applied here.
00:16:18.660 But I did want to read this really quick before we talk a little more about the about the freedom
00:16:24.900 of speech issue here, because in this statement from the police here, they basically go on to
00:16:32.620 say, hey, you know, we recognize that some people are concerned.
00:16:37.680 They may not have liked our tone.
00:16:40.560 And my main thing, but the thing I love about this is really is like the most thing we want
00:16:44.600 you to know is that this woman is that this girl won't be charged.
00:16:47.340 Right.
00:16:47.840 Oh, well, how kind of you?
00:16:49.600 Right.
00:16:49.860 How how what beneficence for you?
00:16:52.760 Well, in that case, all is forgiven.
00:16:54.880 Thank you, guys.
00:16:55.640 I'm so glad that after distressing the family and putting them through a brutal experience,
00:17:01.120 at least she's not going to be punished on top of that.
00:17:03.960 Thank you.
00:17:04.800 Yeah.
00:17:05.080 It reminds me of Tsar Nicholas after like Bloody Sunday.
00:17:07.720 And he's like, the main thing is that I forgive you guys for marching on me, like the slaughter
00:17:13.860 of you in the streets, the blood that we're mopping.
00:17:16.140 I mean, you know, whatever.
00:17:17.920 But like, I forgive you.
00:17:19.480 Like, it's OK.
00:17:20.220 I mean, if I'm completely honest, like talking about, you know, the U.S. with the taxes,
00:17:25.300 thankfully, that's not something that we're burdened with over here.
00:17:29.160 Our taxes just immediately get taken.
00:17:30.860 We don't have to do all this ridiculous rigmarole where we have to guess exactly what the IRS
00:17:34.660 already knows that we owe them.
00:17:36.340 But when it comes to going back to the other rebellion, the civil war in England, I'm getting
00:17:41.800 more and more convinced by the day that we would have just been better left under the
00:17:46.480 Stuarts because I don't think they would have let this happen to us.
00:17:50.960 It really I mean, it really is amazing.
00:17:52.860 So, yeah, let's get in a little bit to this free speech tradition then.
00:17:56.540 Right.
00:17:56.800 So in the U.S., obviously, this is this is supposed to be supposed to be instantiated in the First
00:18:04.060 Amendment.
00:18:04.380 It's supposed to be one of the core five freedoms of the First Amendment, along with religion,
00:18:09.340 assembly, press, you know, petitioning the government.
00:18:12.200 All these things are supposed to be protected by the First Amendment.
00:18:17.020 I'm one of the foremost proponents of saying that the Constitution is not doing a great
00:18:21.500 job of this.
00:18:22.240 But there is at least I think that it does echo a more serious tradition of it in the United
00:18:29.100 States where, you know, even though if it's not being held to the same standard now, there
00:18:34.460 is still a wider understanding of this freedom in the UK.
00:18:38.860 It feels like that's been gone for a long time.
00:18:41.240 Like you said, this is something that that that is a law that is built off of things
00:18:45.620 that were passed in the 80s.
00:18:47.100 A lot of people, you know, talk about wokeness and how it's this American export.
00:18:52.120 But if the British were already censoring this kind of speech back under Margaret Thatcher,
00:18:57.780 I mean, is this more of a universe?
00:18:59.700 Is this an Anglo thing?
00:19:01.120 Is this a Western thing?
00:19:03.160 What what is happening here?
00:19:04.660 What happened?
00:19:05.860 Well, I will say that I think that when people look back on those defining moments of British
00:19:12.420 liberty, they do put them on somewhat of a rose tinted.
00:19:16.840 They put on the rose tinted goggles when they look back at them, because all of these freedoms
00:19:20.700 and liberties that have been afforded to the English people have always come with some
00:19:25.440 requirements on the side.
00:19:27.460 So when you go back to the 1688 Bill of Rights that we got after the Glorious Revolution,
00:19:30.920 it's still said all of these rights are for Englishmen, but not Catholics, not Catholics,
00:19:35.660 because the Stuarts were Catholics.
00:19:36.920 We don't like Catholics anymore because they're subservient to the Pope and King Henry VIII got
00:19:42.060 rid of that all for us.
00:19:43.000 The Tudors sorted all that out for us.
00:19:44.520 So we're not going to allow these extend the same rights to the to the to the Tudors.
00:19:48.740 There's always some kind of exception.
00:19:51.220 And it's whoever is determining that exception.
00:19:53.560 In the US, you guys have your constitution.
00:19:55.860 And I've recently been really enjoying reading De Maestra, who's an excellent read, if you
00:20:00.900 ever get the chance, if you're watching this and you haven't read him.
00:20:03.660 But I'm very much on his side when it comes to the idea of a constitution, which is just
00:20:08.100 having a piece of paper saying we are a nation now does not make you a nation.
00:20:12.160 A nation comes from something much deeper than that, a much thicker idea of identity.
00:20:16.420 You need to have some kind of bonds going back generations and generations that ties you
00:20:21.580 both ethnically and and to the soil as well.
00:20:25.880 But I think that has actually proven somewhat of a weakness in the UK, because as much as
00:20:31.880 the constitution over where you are isn't doing the most amazing job at defending all of your
00:20:36.920 freedoms, it is still somewhat more robust for the purposes at the moment than the unwritten
00:20:43.280 constitution that we have in the UK.
00:20:45.620 Because all it all it showed with Tony Blair, when he came in and started to just completely
00:20:50.060 upend the social fabric of the UK was that it just takes the wrong person to come in
00:20:56.680 and go, well, the constitution is unwritten.
00:20:59.100 So there's a kind of vibe.
00:21:01.400 There's a guideline of how this country should be governed and what aims it should be governed
00:21:06.100 for.
00:21:06.880 But we can still just completely upend that.
00:21:09.380 Margaret Thatcher was part of the initial upending of that.
00:21:12.160 The public order is quite ironic, actually, if you know anything about British history
00:21:16.380 in the 1980s, there was this huge, huge thing about the fact that the Tories under Thatcher
00:21:21.960 wanted to implement something called Section 28.
00:21:24.580 This is very controversial now because you have lots of leftist activists going back and
00:21:29.740 using this as some kind of linchpin to show everybody that Britain is an institutionally
00:21:34.620 homophobic country and always has been.
00:21:36.780 Because what it was, was that it was going to prevent schools from teaching gay stuff,
00:21:43.520 basically.
00:21:44.600 And, you know, in the long run, I'm sure you understand this in America as well.
00:21:48.300 Maybe we should have done a better job of actually passing that through.
00:21:52.160 Because it turns out that they might have been right in doing that.
00:21:55.980 It was a little slippery there.
00:21:57.760 Yeah, it was just a tad slippery.
00:22:00.320 But under Margaret Thatcher, who wanted to do that, they put in the public order in 1986.
00:22:06.020 And ironically, under that same legislation that she got passed through, they've now turned
00:22:10.400 that around to make it so that anything that could remotely be interpreted as homophobic
00:22:15.080 is illegal.
00:22:16.500 Because once again, there is no real free speech in the UK.
00:22:19.720 We have this kind of idea of freedom of speech where you go back to the tradition of somebody
00:22:24.620 like John Locke, who was talking about the freedom of speech that was necessary.
00:22:28.000 Once again, even he had exceptions and requirements when he was talking about freedom of speech,
00:22:32.540 all of these different liberal values.
00:22:34.560 Somebody pointed out to him, but if we allow all of this, won't it allow space for subversives
00:22:39.940 to come in and subvert the social order like atheists?
00:22:42.840 His qualification for this was, well, we'll just make atheism illegal then.
00:22:48.040 This has always been the English frame of mind, which is we'll have all of these principles
00:22:54.860 up to where common sense says maybe we should have a boundary there.
00:23:00.100 But now where common sense in our elites is, is so far removed, because it's under this
00:23:06.700 managerial frame of mind, from anything that you or I, or even your average working man
00:23:11.900 on the street would consider to be common sense.
00:23:14.680 And it leads to laws like the very, very infamous, and this is a big one for freedom of speech
00:23:20.280 in the UK, the Communications Act 2003.
00:23:23.340 Are you aware of this one?
00:23:25.440 I believe I've heard of it, but go ahead and refresh my memory.
00:23:28.960 You will be very familiar with this for one particular story, because it was section 127
00:23:33.660 of the Communications Act 2003 that turned Count Dankula into the star that he is today,
00:23:39.160 because that's the law that he was prosecuted under when he posted his original Nazi pug video
00:23:44.020 online.
00:23:45.300 So that one, if I just read from the description that I have up here for you, it makes it illegal
00:23:50.840 to send malicious communication using social media.
00:23:53.940 That's made a criminal offence.
00:23:55.140 It was declared an offence to persistently make use of a public electronic communications
00:23:58.800 network for the purpose of causing annoyance and convenience or needless anxiety.
00:24:02.760 Now, this clause was put in there initially because of the fact that they wanted to reduce
00:24:06.360 the number of silent telephone calls that people were receiving, because as you'd imagine,
00:24:11.020 it's not pleasant to go and answer your phone and find that somebody's just breathing
00:24:14.860 down the line at you.
00:24:15.640 So it kind of has somewhat of a noble intention, but then gets malformed later down the line
00:24:20.320 to make it so that, well, we can interpret this as if you're saying nasty things on social
00:24:24.800 media, well, then you're doing repeated annoying and inconvenient and causing needless anxiety.
00:24:31.820 And section 127, the one that Dank was prosecuted under, made it an offence to send a message
00:24:36.820 that is grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character over a public electronic
00:24:42.280 communications network.
00:24:43.260 Once again, that may have come with the greatest of intentions, with the best of intentions.
00:24:48.400 I can't read Blair or his cabinet or his MP's minds from the time, but this is how it's
00:24:53.220 been used since then.
00:24:55.220 All right.
00:24:55.780 I want to ask Harry another question about what this means about the growth of government
00:24:59.560 and power.
00:25:00.340 Are these things inevitable?
00:25:01.860 But before we do that, guys, let's check in from another sponsor when it comes to free
00:25:06.500 speech.
00:25:07.000 If you're a person of faith, you'll love this.
00:25:09.000 The Supreme Court recently overturned a 50-year-old legal precedent that permitted open hostility
00:25:14.120 to public expression of faith.
00:25:15.960 To get the word out, this calls for more public expressions of faith.
00:25:19.800 The overturning precedent was cited when high school coach Joe Kennedy was fired from his
00:25:24.580 job, his crime, praying in public after games.
00:25:28.160 It took seven years of court battles to get the precedent overturned and his job back.
00:25:32.760 To celebrate, the people over at First Liberty Institute created the First Freedom Challenge.
00:25:37.460 They want people to fill local stadiums and pray after the game, just like Coach Kennedy
00:25:42.400 on his first game back, Friday, September 1st.
00:25:46.060 So what can you do to promote the First Freedom Challenge?
00:25:49.040 One, sign up at rfia.org and commit to praying on September 1st.
00:25:54.800 Two, record a short video message challenging people to take a knee in prayer with Coach Kennedy.
00:26:00.540 And three, share your video on social media.
00:26:03.300 It's been decades since Americans enjoyed this level of freedom.
00:26:07.020 So let's express our faith.
00:26:08.720 Join me and take the First Freedom Challenge.
00:26:11.100 Sign up at rfia.org.
00:26:14.000 That's rfia.org.
00:26:17.960 All right.
00:26:18.660 So, Harry, as we've, you know, kind of run into multiple times, you've said multiple times.
00:26:23.660 Well, they passed this law with the best of intentions.
00:26:26.520 It was supposed to give us one thing and the other.
00:26:28.600 It's supposed to ban.
00:26:29.620 One thing, it got flipped over.
00:26:30.760 That's just for being charitable, but yeah, carry on.
00:26:33.340 Right.
00:26:34.140 But so we've kind of run into this multiple times.
00:26:38.080 Now, obviously, in America, the right kind of learned this lesson, I think, a little bit
00:26:41.740 with the Patriot Act and the way it turns out that eventually the war on terror is the
00:26:46.500 war on you.
00:26:47.680 But I think, you know, a lot of people then ask this question, and this is kind of the
00:26:51.720 libertarian to this, right?
00:26:53.260 Is government power is then just bad, right?
00:26:55.680 If this if this is a consistent problem, the government acquires this technology or this
00:27:01.540 power, this new provision, then kind of the key is just to restrict government, shrink
00:27:06.280 government at all times.
00:27:08.100 And then that way you don't have to worry about kind of a government accruing power.
00:27:11.780 So is this simply a function of government accruing power?
00:27:15.560 Is this something else?
00:27:17.640 I don't consider myself a libertarian.
00:27:20.000 I used to, but I don't anymore.
00:27:21.660 So I'm not going to turn around and say that this is just a function of the government, that
00:27:26.380 everything the government ever does turns terrible.
00:27:29.040 I'm going to say it's much more specific to the character of the elites and the governing
00:27:32.720 class that we have in power at the moment.
00:27:35.280 If used well, the government can be a force for good.
00:27:38.680 The state can be used to orient the masses and the public in a direction that's beneficial
00:27:44.860 for everybody.
00:27:45.780 I recently got done reading a book by Evelyn, where he was discussing fascism viewed from
00:27:50.560 his traditional perspective.
00:27:52.200 And he had a very interesting way of summing up what the what the state should be for.
00:27:58.440 And it kind of lines up a little bit with Hopper's idea of monarchy.
00:28:02.260 Ironically, given the two, I imagine would have disagreed a lot on a lot of things.
00:28:07.600 But I agree that used properly, government power can be a force for good.
00:28:12.780 But our elites don't want to use it for a force for good outside of benefiting the nebulous
00:28:18.980 idea of the universal man, the liberal idea of the universal man who is a simple economic
00:28:24.560 unit who can be moved about like a pawn on a chessboard into whatever area of the market
00:28:30.740 is most necessary for him to be in at that particular time.
00:28:34.860 And at the expense of the aging demographics that we have here in the West, and, you know,
00:28:42.020 they're not going to do anything that will benefit family formation over here.
00:28:46.920 So it's going to continue aging in their estimations.
00:28:49.740 If they see the trend lines, if they look at it through the purely rationalistic managerial
00:28:54.120 view of let's see what the graphs and the stats have to say.
00:28:57.340 Well, they're not going to do anything to try and improve that.
00:28:59.260 The demographics are going to keep aging.
00:29:00.920 So what they're going to do is they're going to keep importing foreigners over here.
00:29:04.160 Well, if you import foreigners over here, you're going to have divisions that come up because
00:29:08.100 of that.
00:29:08.880 And that's one of the reasons that a particular organization called Prevent was started, because
00:29:13.040 we have a lot of Islamic migration over to the UK.
00:29:16.300 I don't know.
00:29:17.540 You know, Callum, one of my colleagues.
00:29:19.620 I'm familiar.
00:29:20.200 Yeah.
00:29:21.380 Did you watch?
00:29:22.220 He has his own YouTube channel where he posts documentaries.
00:29:25.100 He did a video the other day that was really excellent.
00:29:27.840 I'd recommend everybody to watch it called Tourism in Merry Old England.
00:29:31.920 So in 2021, we had the government census.
00:29:35.540 And what this did, you know, it was a census.
00:29:37.380 It took down information from everybody regarding where they live, their demographic information,
00:29:42.940 including their ethnicity and their religion.
00:29:46.200 And when they eventually got around to releasing this information, because they definitely did
00:29:49.880 not want to release it at first, because for those worried about demographic replacement
00:29:53.900 in the UK, it wasn't going to quell their fears.
00:29:57.920 But they released a map online that you can access that will tell you the ethnic breakup
00:30:02.600 of various parts of the country, the entire country.
00:30:06.920 And you can go down to neighborhood level on this.
00:30:09.560 And if you zoom in, you can find parts of the UK that are just completely 0.0% white English.
00:30:16.120 So no British people live there whatsoever.
00:30:19.640 And there are parts of Tower Hamlets in London.
00:30:22.480 And there's also a town in, we've been speaking about West Yorkshire.
00:30:26.180 There's a town in West Yorkshire called Saviltown, which is 0.0% English.
00:30:31.680 So he traveled from there to there, and then went to one of the few places in the country
00:30:35.560 that's still 100% white English.
00:30:37.380 And, you know, we have, those areas were very Islamic.
00:30:42.980 Prevent, as an organization, was originally started to prevent Islamic terrorism.
00:30:48.900 It didn't do a particularly good job of that.
00:30:51.880 The UK had a number of very, very high profile Islamic terror attacks going all the way up
00:30:57.340 until 2017, when we had the MEN Manchester Arena bombings at the Ariana Grande concert,
00:31:03.220 which is actually, it's quite close home to me, because I had a friend who was attending
00:31:07.980 those concerts at the time who was there, who managed to get out, but she had to take
00:31:11.820 years of therapy to be able to get over what happened there.
00:31:17.000 What Prevent has done instead, in more recent years, has reorientated what they are doing.
00:31:22.880 So they're no longer exclusively focusing on Islamic terrorism, but they're doing something
00:31:27.300 very similar to what the FBI is doing in the US, which is focusing on homegrown domestic
00:31:32.940 terrorism, that being far-right white supremacists, meaning basically anybody in the UK who disagrees
00:31:40.280 with demographic replacement and the absolute travesty of what is being done to our country
00:31:46.040 at the moment.
00:31:46.860 It gets to the point where you see all of this constantly being done against the citizens
00:31:51.000 in the UK.
00:31:51.400 I wouldn't be surprised if I'm on the list, if I'm honest.
00:31:54.620 Once again, it doesn't take much to break a law in the UK, and I also go on a public platform,
00:32:00.820 put my face out there, put my name out there.
00:32:02.420 So I wouldn't be surprised if people are watching me.
00:32:04.540 People are probably watching Callum.
00:32:06.120 We live in a surveillance state in the UK, and it's absolutely dreadful.
00:32:11.980 Well, one of the things that I think kind of brings all that together, what you're talking
00:32:16.500 about there, is originally you're saying, well, John Locke just assumed that people would
00:32:20.840 have common sense, right?
00:32:22.220 They just have common sense.
00:32:23.840 But how can sense be common if you don't have a shared tradition, if you don't have a
00:32:28.700 shared culture, folk ways, religion, understandings of core basic values?
00:32:34.160 You can't have this basic thing like, okay, we can grant people liberty because there'll
00:32:40.540 be this general sense of what's right and wrong, what's shared, where our values are, where
00:32:45.800 the boundaries are.
00:32:46.620 And the society will police these things.
00:32:49.860 Yeah, we won't be able to liberate, but obviously we understand atheism is dangerous.
00:32:53.700 So we'll just, but seriously, it doesn't really transgress.
00:32:59.260 I just talked about this a little bit.
00:33:00.540 I did a video yesterday about rule of law.
00:33:02.960 It doesn't really transgress because all of the laws that are on the books in that scenario
00:33:08.160 where you share that culture and that understanding are ones that hew closely to kind of natural law.
00:33:14.020 They're all things that you would naturally have in place if your community wanted to pursue virtue.
00:33:20.720 But when you don't have that shared background, when you don't have that shared understanding
00:33:24.740 and moral vision, then you end up having these, you need general legislation to bind all of these
00:33:31.340 disparate factions together.
00:33:33.200 And so that's how, you know, we've seen these videos in the UK where people are getting arrested
00:33:37.480 for thinking prayers in their head outside of abortion clinics.
00:33:41.380 I mean, this is a country that was essential in the spread of Christendom.
00:33:45.640 And now they're imprisoning people because they might be thinking the wrong thoughts
00:33:49.520 outside of abortion clinic.
00:33:51.860 That only occurs because you have this general blanket idea of the universal man
00:33:57.220 instead of the specific culture of this is how we are.
00:34:00.220 This is how we understand our freedoms and liberties inside our, you know, inside our country.
00:34:04.740 Right?
00:34:04.920 Yeah, well, I mean, I'm not a big fan of John Locke being that I'm not a liberal.
00:34:12.000 I don't subscribe to the idea of the universal man.
00:34:13.980 But even when he was describing this idea of the universal man out of the state of nature,
00:34:18.220 once again, he had these exceptions that he would bring into it.
00:34:21.580 And I think one thing that we always need to take into account is that when people in the 1600s,
00:34:27.200 the original liberal philosophers were talking about the idea of this man,
00:34:31.680 they weren't actually being quite as universal as we take it as being now.
00:34:37.200 They were really talking about well-born European or Englishman.
00:34:42.680 That's who they were talking about.
00:34:44.640 In the same way that you look back at Aristotle, and he talks about democracy
00:34:49.220 and the need for certain elements of democracy being good
00:34:54.540 because it allows the people to be able to make their own decisions.
00:34:57.320 Well, in the ancient Greek conception of democracy,
00:35:00.480 the people was a very set few citizens, a few thousand people in an overall polis,
00:35:06.280 which was mostly made up of people who weren't citizens.
00:35:09.180 So you still have this idea of a closed community of people
00:35:12.960 who were intelligent enough and refined enough to be able to make the decisions.
00:35:18.220 But as we get further and further and further away from that,
00:35:20.840 that's when these ideas become more and more abstracted.
00:35:24.180 And you have to refer more to this general idea of common sense.
00:35:27.960 And I think England would still be a country with common sense
00:35:32.080 had we not opened the floodgates up to all of these new communities
00:35:37.540 who've come in here since the late 1990s when Tony Blair opened the floodgates.
00:35:42.420 Because even in 1997, when he was elected in,
00:35:45.420 England was still about, I think, 95.7% white English.
00:35:49.760 Going back to the 1950s, when supposedly we originally opened up the floodgates
00:35:54.040 in the Windrush generation to rebuild the country,
00:35:57.440 because now we still have, we have, sadly,
00:36:00.320 a cohort of based immigrant,
00:36:03.800 based people from immigrant background
00:36:06.200 who have, who appear regularly on television shows like GB News,
00:36:10.200 who associate themselves with our Conservative Party,
00:36:13.160 who will turn around and out of, as far as I can tell,
00:36:16.680 pure ethnic self-interest,
00:36:18.360 say, even though they're supposed to be based,
00:36:21.060 well, England would have been nothing
00:36:22.480 without the immigrants who came
00:36:24.060 and rebuilt this country after World War II.
00:36:26.560 Well, I'm sorry to break this to those people,
00:36:28.140 but back throughout the 1950s,
00:36:29.940 we were still 99.8% white English.
00:36:32.300 So it was the English, shockingly enough,
00:36:35.260 who rebuilt England.
00:36:36.740 But since then, social discohesion,
00:36:40.200 everything else that's come with that.
00:36:41.760 You've spoken to Morgoth recently,
00:36:43.360 so I'm sure you're well aware of the Rochdale grooming gang scandals
00:36:47.520 and a lot of the other things that have come
00:36:49.100 with the import of foreign populations
00:36:51.560 who do not share our values
00:36:52.860 and are actively hostile to us are.
00:36:54.980 But once again, it's the fact that the government
00:36:56.460 goes along with this
00:36:57.560 and actively makes it more difficult
00:36:58.980 for the host, well, the native population
00:37:01.840 to be able to speak about this.
00:37:04.640 When Morgoth was on,
00:37:05.980 did he mention the Equality Act to you?
00:37:08.580 No, but I am somewhat familiar.
00:37:11.400 Yes.
00:37:11.820 So we basically imported the Civil Rights Act
00:37:14.060 over into the UK.
00:37:16.340 In 2010, it was the dying gasp
00:37:19.220 of new labor under Gordon Brown
00:37:21.220 after, in 2007, Tony Blair had left.
00:37:24.280 They decided to pass through the Equalities Act,
00:37:26.660 which was something they'd have
00:37:27.760 in their 2005 manifesto pledge.
00:37:31.700 The Tories have been in power
00:37:33.380 for 13 plus years at this point.
00:37:36.160 They've still done nothing to repeal it.
00:37:37.820 They've done nothing to push back on it.
00:37:39.320 In fact, they've only strengthened it.
00:37:41.420 So the Equality Act of 2010,
00:37:43.740 it puts in protected classes
00:37:47.360 in the same way that the Civil Rights Act
00:37:49.500 of 1964 over in the US over there.
00:37:52.140 You have your protected classes
00:37:54.140 under that as well.
00:37:56.220 But this goes on, it goes to race,
00:37:59.340 it goes to gender, to gender transition.
00:38:01.740 This was something that was originally there
00:38:03.860 in 2010 as well.
00:38:05.120 So they were already protecting transition classes.
00:38:08.180 It also talks about sexual orientation,
00:38:11.000 et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
00:38:12.220 And it does very similar things
00:38:13.780 to the Civil Rights Act.
00:38:15.600 It makes it so that you are unable
00:38:17.360 to legally discriminate against these people.
00:38:20.140 And it also makes it so that
00:38:21.440 if I just get the information
00:38:22.640 that I've got up here,
00:38:23.940 it has a clause, section 149,
00:38:26.520 which introduced a public sector equality duty,
00:38:29.640 which obliged public bodies
00:38:31.040 and tacitly as well businesses
00:38:33.480 to encourage persons
00:38:35.240 who share a relevant protected characteristic
00:38:37.240 to participate in public life
00:38:39.220 or in any other activity
00:38:40.320 in which participation by such persons
00:38:42.460 is disproportionately low.
00:38:43.800 Now, I've looked over the guidance
00:38:45.240 and what this means
00:38:46.680 is that they basically have to put in quotas.
00:38:49.960 Yeah, and it's...
00:38:50.940 Congratulations, you guys have a disparate impact.
00:38:53.900 You have your own Duke power, yeah.
00:38:56.800 I looked at the guidance earlier.
00:38:58.280 It's absolutely hilarious
00:38:59.420 how they get around
00:39:00.320 not calling it positive discrimination.
00:39:02.360 They call it positive action.
00:39:04.060 And they say that the...
00:39:04.960 They say the way...
00:39:06.060 The reason we know
00:39:06.900 that it's not positive discrimination
00:39:08.380 because, of course,
00:39:09.420 we still believe that discrimination
00:39:10.820 is a bad thing,
00:39:11.820 even when it's done against native English people.
00:39:14.440 They say,
00:39:15.200 well, we don't want you to put quotas in
00:39:16.980 because quotas,
00:39:17.800 they would be discriminatory.
00:39:19.040 But if you have targets,
00:39:20.920 if you have targets,
00:39:22.020 then that's absolutely fine.
00:39:23.480 Which, it's the same thing.
00:39:25.800 It's the exact same thing.
00:39:28.220 Somewhere Orwell is generating electricity
00:39:31.260 spinning in the grave, yeah.
00:39:33.200 Oh, absolutely, he is.
00:39:34.480 So, I guess the question is then,
00:39:39.440 I know it's bad in America
00:39:41.980 when it comes to the right.
00:39:43.520 Obviously, a lot of people have noticed
00:39:45.040 that the GOP is not the best protector
00:39:47.360 of American freedom
00:39:48.760 and barely putting up a fight in many ways.
00:39:52.080 But over in the UK,
00:39:54.460 it feels like the right, in theory,
00:39:56.520 the Tories, the Conservatives,
00:39:57.860 are actually driving a lot of this
00:39:59.560 in ways that the GOP are locking
00:40:02.280 in the gains of the left in America.
00:40:04.680 But in the UK,
00:40:05.320 it feels like the right-leaning party
00:40:07.300 is driving much of this change
00:40:10.020 in your country.
00:40:11.660 Oh, yeah.
00:40:12.060 The Tories that we have right now
00:40:13.840 are far more radical
00:40:15.020 than any political party
00:40:17.780 that I can think of
00:40:18.940 outside of fringe communist parties
00:40:21.480 who would never get into power
00:40:22.620 in the first place.
00:40:23.580 What's most damaging about the Tory party,
00:40:26.140 which is the name we have
00:40:27.020 for the Conservatives,
00:40:28.160 over here in the UK,
00:40:29.260 is that they are the longest-lasting
00:40:31.480 political party
00:40:32.460 who's ever existed,
00:40:34.000 as far as I can tell.
00:40:35.040 They have outlived
00:40:35.800 any other political party
00:40:37.080 you can think of.
00:40:37.820 They stretch back hundreds of years,
00:40:39.760 and they are also the most successful.
00:40:42.300 And they act as fantastic containment
00:40:44.460 for the right,
00:40:45.940 for the actual right.
00:40:47.000 Any right that might actually burst out
00:40:49.540 has, as far as I can tell in the UK,
00:40:52.360 if you want to go out
00:40:53.240 and do official action,
00:40:54.780 is completely cornered.
00:40:56.440 Because if you come out
00:40:57.420 and you say actual right-wing things,
00:40:59.920 then you will immediately
00:41:01.800 get prosecuted under the law.
00:41:03.740 Tommy Robinson, with the EDF,
00:41:05.280 he wasn't even an official party.
00:41:07.760 He was just a grassroots organisation
00:41:10.020 of, if I'm perfectly honest,
00:41:11.700 a bunch of football louts
00:41:12.880 who wanted to prevent gang rapes
00:41:15.900 and other such things
00:41:16.640 from happening in their hometown.
00:41:18.360 He gets prosecuted under the law
00:41:20.520 a number of times.
00:41:21.500 Even if he's not actually broken a law,
00:41:23.340 well, they'll find something
00:41:24.400 that he may have done somewhere
00:41:25.740 that we can charge him for anyway.
00:41:28.160 If you are an opposing party,
00:41:30.760 the Conservatives will try
00:41:33.280 to redirect the energy
00:41:34.800 that a party like UKIP had
00:41:36.380 under Brexit,
00:41:37.480 and will then transfer that energy
00:41:39.240 to themselves.
00:41:40.860 Because in 2019, Boris Johnson,
00:41:43.080 the leader of the Conservative Party
00:41:44.500 at that point,
00:41:45.620 campaigned under the promise
00:41:46.920 that he was going to get Brexit done.
00:41:49.320 Technically, he did.
00:41:50.580 But under his Brexit,
00:41:51.880 we did not become
00:41:52.780 a more local Britain.
00:41:54.020 We became a more global Britain.
00:41:56.340 And since his party came into power,
00:41:59.020 what happened was,
00:41:59.980 under Tony Blair,
00:42:01.020 when they opened the floodgates,
00:42:02.380 yes, we got massive influx
00:42:03.600 of immigration
00:42:04.140 that we never had before,
00:42:05.200 but most of it was still EU migration.
00:42:07.820 It was coming from Eastern Europe
00:42:09.220 and particularly Poland.
00:42:10.740 My hometown of Crewe
00:42:11.840 has a large Polish population
00:42:13.940 as a result of that.
00:42:15.620 And it's still bad
00:42:16.820 because they're,
00:42:17.820 to sound like a character
00:42:20.120 from Hot Fuzz,
00:42:20.900 they're not from here.
00:42:21.560 They're not from round here,
00:42:23.000 they're not.
00:42:24.220 But being European,
00:42:26.660 they still have a culture
00:42:27.720 that's close enough
00:42:28.460 that it's easier for them
00:42:29.680 to not necessarily assimilate,
00:42:32.160 but coexist
00:42:33.060 with the native population.
00:42:35.760 Since Boris Johnson came in,
00:42:37.360 we had visa restrictions lifted.
00:42:39.660 I forget the exact type of visa,
00:42:41.360 but I think before,
00:42:42.300 it was a limit of 20,000 visas
00:42:44.800 granted per year
00:42:46.080 to non-EU citizens.
00:42:47.960 That was just lifted.
00:42:48.980 That was lifted
00:42:50.300 since Boris Johnson came in.
00:42:52.000 So we've had more,
00:42:53.240 a gigantic influx
00:42:55.160 of foreign migrants
00:42:57.420 from mainly North Africa
00:42:58.960 and Sub-Saharan Africa
00:43:00.040 coming since then
00:43:01.160 alongside the illegal migrants
00:43:03.140 that we get
00:43:03.660 coming over on the boats
00:43:04.820 on the channel.
00:43:05.900 So that's not great,
00:43:07.340 but it happened
00:43:07.800 under the Conservatives.
00:43:09.080 So the Conservatives
00:43:09.820 took that energy
00:43:10.600 that UKIP built up
00:43:11.840 where people voted for Brexit
00:43:13.600 because we want to have
00:43:14.720 control of our borders,
00:43:15.700 we want sovereignty,
00:43:16.320 we don't want to have
00:43:17.160 the EU lording over us
00:43:18.880 and telling us
00:43:19.300 what we can and can't do.
00:43:20.540 And they turned that
00:43:21.420 into a leftist course
00:43:22.460 is what they did,
00:43:24.480 is what they always do
00:43:25.900 every single time.
00:43:27.300 Every single radical thing
00:43:29.060 that has happened
00:43:30.280 in this country
00:43:31.500 has been administered
00:43:32.600 by the Tories
00:43:33.860 ever since Labour left.
00:43:35.580 And they make things
00:43:37.640 that were administered
00:43:38.500 under and legislated
00:43:39.960 under the new Labour regime,
00:43:41.760 they make them worse.
00:43:43.760 So for instance,
00:43:44.280 the Communications Act,
00:43:45.460 obviously,
00:43:46.360 they were prosecuted,
00:43:47.420 that was prosecuted
00:43:48.240 by the SNP in Scotland
00:43:50.420 because it still goes over there.
00:43:52.340 But what the Communications Act did
00:43:54.580 was it created
00:43:55.120 a new regulatory body
00:43:56.440 for all online communications
00:43:58.940 and all,
00:43:59.820 well, sorry,
00:44:00.560 all media communications
00:44:02.200 called Ofcom.
00:44:03.560 I have worked
00:44:04.920 for public radio stations
00:44:06.740 in the past
00:44:07.440 that have been administered
00:44:08.540 by Ofcom.
00:44:09.660 They are a complete
00:44:11.340 ball lake to work with,
00:44:12.560 as you'd imagine,
00:44:13.160 with anything.
00:44:13.920 There's just red tape
00:44:14.700 after red tape
00:44:15.400 after red tape.
00:44:16.500 But for instance,
00:44:17.380 in the UK,
00:44:18.060 we have GB News
00:44:18.800 who are like our equivalent
00:44:19.780 of Fox News,
00:44:21.120 but somehow worse.
00:44:24.760 And as part of their
00:44:26.120 Ofcom regulations,
00:44:27.500 if you are having
00:44:28.240 a political debate
00:44:29.220 on something,
00:44:30.100 you can't just have
00:44:31.040 one person come on
00:44:32.100 and give their side
00:44:32.800 of the story.
00:44:33.220 You have to have
00:44:33.760 the opposing side
00:44:34.760 as well.
00:44:36.020 So if you ever tune
00:44:36.760 into GB News,
00:44:37.600 you'll find whenever
00:44:38.220 they're talking
00:44:38.600 about anything political,
00:44:39.880 oftentimes my colleague,
00:44:41.100 Connor,
00:44:41.380 will come on
00:44:42.360 and give
00:44:43.300 the right-wing view
00:44:44.480 and they will also
00:44:45.500 have some random,
00:44:47.520 sometimes actual
00:44:48.580 communist,
00:44:49.220 I think Connor
00:44:49.760 is appearing
00:44:50.240 maybe tomorrow
00:44:51.000 or a few days after
00:44:52.420 on GB News soon
00:44:54.140 with a man called
00:44:54.680 Aaron Bastani
00:44:55.500 who runs a literally
00:44:57.400 communist news organization
00:44:59.020 in the UK
00:44:59.740 called Navarra Media.
00:45:01.380 So you have to have
00:45:02.720 what's the idea
00:45:03.800 of balance
00:45:05.420 between the opposing
00:45:06.700 viewpoints
00:45:07.220 because you don't want
00:45:07.860 to overwhelm the public
00:45:09.140 with some idea
00:45:10.340 that this is the only
00:45:11.440 way to go.
00:45:11.920 You have to show
00:45:12.420 that balance.
00:45:14.020 What the government
00:45:14.860 is trying to do
00:45:15.720 at the moment
00:45:16.140 under the Tories
00:45:16.880 is introduce
00:45:17.520 the online safety bill.
00:45:19.840 What that would do
00:45:20.720 is one,
00:45:22.240 the original wording
00:45:23.580 of the legislation
00:45:24.360 made it so that
00:45:25.380 it would outlaw
00:45:26.380 legal but harmful speech.
00:45:30.120 So that was literally
00:45:32.460 speech they don't like.
00:45:34.820 And if you call it
00:45:35.780 legal but harmful
00:45:36.560 you have therefore
00:45:37.300 made it illegal.
00:45:38.520 So the calling it legal
00:45:39.860 in the first place
00:45:40.500 is a complete moot point.
00:45:41.900 But it would also put
00:45:43.100 all online communications
00:45:45.680 which would include me
00:45:47.120 under the Lotus Eaters
00:45:48.380 and even probably
00:45:49.180 what we're doing right now
00:45:50.500 under the remit
00:45:52.020 of Ofcom regulation
00:45:53.280 which would mean
00:45:54.100 that Lotus Eaters
00:45:55.040 as it exists right now
00:45:57.100 would not be allowed
00:45:58.660 to exist.
00:45:59.440 We would probably
00:46:00.140 have to move to America
00:46:01.240 so that we can enjoy
00:46:02.200 some of your freedom.
00:46:03.320 Although I did just find out
00:46:04.400 that Wyoming only has
00:46:05.400 a population of
00:46:06.160 500,000 people
00:46:07.380 and is bigger than England.
00:46:09.040 So God,
00:46:09.640 imagine the wide open spaces.
00:46:11.200 We just don't get that over here.
00:46:12.940 Yeah,
00:46:13.120 they might notice you guys
00:46:14.620 over there though.
00:46:15.220 You might stand out a bit.
00:46:17.300 Not from around here.
00:46:19.400 Yeah,
00:46:19.960 I suppose that would be
00:46:20.820 the same problem,
00:46:21.640 wouldn't it?
00:46:22.260 But we would essentially
00:46:23.000 have to be some kind of
00:46:24.440 free speech refugees
00:46:26.220 because what we would need
00:46:27.960 to do to make up for it
00:46:29.080 is on every show
00:46:30.240 because every show we do
00:46:31.380 is discussing political matters.
00:46:32.800 We would have to have
00:46:33.800 someone there
00:46:34.600 who can provide
00:46:35.560 the opposing viewpoint
00:46:36.780 which would destroy
00:46:37.940 the entire format
00:46:38.780 of the show
00:46:39.280 and is obviously
00:46:40.380 just another way
00:46:41.300 of trying to demolish
00:46:42.740 any kind of free speech
00:46:44.300 that we have
00:46:44.960 that could build
00:46:46.160 right-wing momentum
00:46:47.420 and energy.
00:46:48.720 And outside of all
00:46:49.520 of the sneaky legislation
00:46:50.680 they do,
00:46:51.360 we've just seen
00:46:51.940 with Nigel Farage recently,
00:46:53.620 if they just don't like
00:46:54.480 what you're doing,
00:46:55.060 they'll just take your bank away.
00:46:56.700 So I don't like
00:46:59.020 sounding like a doomer
00:47:00.140 because I do think
00:47:01.280 that there are lots
00:47:02.000 of cracks of weakness
00:47:02.860 in the regime
00:47:03.580 at the moment.
00:47:04.520 It won't last forever
00:47:05.780 and one day
00:47:08.100 there will come a day
00:47:09.100 when we will win.
00:47:10.940 I honestly and truly
00:47:12.300 believe that.
00:47:13.380 But as it stands right now,
00:47:15.100 because of the legal maze
00:47:16.880 that we find ourselves in,
00:47:18.360 I don't see a direct route
00:47:23.980 to victory.
00:47:24.620 I don't even see
00:47:25.180 a direct route
00:47:25.960 for a party
00:47:27.120 to be able to emerge
00:47:28.420 that would be able
00:47:29.660 to provide any kind
00:47:31.340 of wins for us.
00:47:32.200 I mean,
00:47:32.880 once again,
00:47:33.500 if you want,
00:47:33.980 not in the UK
00:47:34.740 but in Europe,
00:47:35.780 AFD in Germany
00:47:37.020 right now.
00:47:38.140 Germany is going
00:47:38.880 full liberal democracy
00:47:40.600 and just deciding
00:47:41.380 to ban.
00:47:43.120 They're just going to ban
00:47:44.480 their opposing parties.
00:47:46.160 It's ridiculous.
00:47:47.580 Yeah, well,
00:47:48.000 then let me go ahead
00:47:48.640 and frame that question
00:47:49.640 for you then
00:47:50.140 before we go to
00:47:50.800 the questions
00:47:51.680 of the audience
00:47:52.360 real quick.
00:47:53.060 So, yeah,
00:47:54.180 the last thing
00:47:54.660 I wanted to ask you
00:47:55.420 was obviously,
00:47:56.560 you know,
00:47:56.720 the freedoms
00:47:57.760 of liberal democracy,
00:47:58.960 right?
00:47:59.140 We've got to lecture Putin
00:48:01.820 and all these other
00:48:02.600 world leaders
00:48:03.340 because they're
00:48:04.080 the authoritarians
00:48:05.180 and we're the West
00:48:06.460 and we believe
00:48:07.700 in democracy
00:48:08.380 though it's always
00:48:09.440 under threat.
00:48:10.280 It seems like
00:48:10.660 the existence
00:48:11.800 of opposition
00:48:12.600 is just this amazing
00:48:13.600 threat to democracy
00:48:14.580 which makes you wonder
00:48:15.540 what democracy means
00:48:16.420 but we have all these
00:48:17.240 Western liberal democracies
00:48:18.520 that are suddenly
00:48:19.540 very interested
00:48:20.600 in banning
00:48:21.580 any kind of opposition.
00:48:23.240 Like you said,
00:48:23.580 Germany getting rid
00:48:24.560 of parties
00:48:25.160 that are becoming
00:48:25.760 too popular there
00:48:26.720 because that's how
00:48:27.440 democracy works.
00:48:28.260 If there's a popular party
00:48:29.580 you just ban it
00:48:30.700 and then you win
00:48:31.400 the election.
00:48:32.240 So I'm Hussein Sal,
00:48:33.160 right?
00:48:33.380 99% for me.
00:48:34.780 You know,
00:48:35.000 I just killed
00:48:35.480 all my bones.
00:48:36.260 It's amazing.
00:48:37.200 You know,
00:48:37.720 in America,
00:48:38.460 obviously,
00:48:39.400 we had a better,
00:48:40.520 you know,
00:48:41.260 record on this
00:48:41.900 for the most part
00:48:42.740 but now it seems
00:48:43.920 like we're speed running
00:48:45.100 catching up
00:48:45.700 with everybody here
00:48:46.540 because now they're
00:48:47.940 indicted
00:48:48.600 Donald Trump
00:48:49.800 for the fourth time.
00:48:52.000 This time
00:48:52.420 Donald Trump
00:48:52.900 is accused
00:48:53.420 of very dangerous
00:48:54.260 behavior like
00:48:54.920 quoting the Constitution.
00:48:57.680 I'm not joking here.
00:48:59.980 These are things
00:49:00.480 I've not looked
00:49:01.080 into the most recent
00:49:02.080 impeachment.
00:49:02.780 Is that it?
00:49:03.380 He's quoted
00:49:03.960 the Constitution.
00:49:05.140 He asked people
00:49:05.840 to watch
00:49:06.560 a news program.
00:49:09.240 He conferred
00:49:11.340 with lawyers
00:49:12.100 which is definitely
00:49:13.060 not a Sixth Amendment
00:49:14.080 right under the Constitution.
00:49:15.460 You can't just go read
00:49:16.440 specifically that right
00:49:17.940 directly.
00:49:18.860 But these are all things
00:49:19.900 that Donald Trump
00:49:20.340 is now accused
00:49:21.340 of in his latest
00:49:23.520 indictment.
00:49:24.540 It's very clear
00:49:25.200 that the push,
00:49:25.980 you know,
00:49:26.120 we've jailed,
00:49:27.220 you know,
00:49:27.360 I remember that,
00:49:29.020 you know,
00:49:29.500 Carl Benjamin,
00:49:30.060 he would debate
00:49:30.680 with the academic agent
00:49:31.660 and he would say,
00:49:32.200 oh, you know,
00:49:33.160 I know you hate liberalism
00:49:34.480 but liberalism
00:49:35.220 is not that bad.
00:49:35.960 You know,
00:49:36.160 you're doing your show,
00:49:37.240 right?
00:49:37.380 You're not in the gulag.
00:49:38.420 It's like,
00:49:39.000 well,
00:49:39.400 that time feels
00:49:40.600 like it's fast
00:49:41.400 approaching us,
00:49:42.540 right?
00:49:42.700 Like we're in the situation
00:49:44.360 where any political
00:49:46.040 opposition,
00:49:46.740 guys like Douglas Mackey
00:49:47.700 in America
00:49:48.160 are convicted
00:49:49.320 of making memes,
00:49:51.140 could face 10 years
00:49:52.180 in jail here
00:49:52.800 at this point.
00:49:53.540 It feels like
00:49:54.060 all of these
00:49:54.740 Western liberal democracies
00:49:55.800 are simultaneously
00:49:56.700 moving towards,
00:49:57.960 you know,
00:49:58.960 kind of this,
00:49:59.660 making it illegal
00:50:01.340 to have any kind
00:50:02.040 of opposition.
00:50:03.200 How long,
00:50:04.100 and it sounds like
00:50:04.640 you're saying,
00:50:05.100 you know,
00:50:05.220 these cracks are showing,
00:50:06.780 but how long
00:50:07.600 can this fantasy
00:50:09.120 of freedom
00:50:10.640 under,
00:50:11.200 you know,
00:50:11.640 under Western hegemony
00:50:12.880 continue to survive
00:50:14.640 the actual actions
00:50:15.920 of these Western democracies?
00:50:17.700 government.
00:50:19.180 Well,
00:50:19.740 I mean,
00:50:20.060 I can't really say
00:50:21.220 for sure
00:50:21.880 because everything
00:50:23.580 that I've been looking
00:50:24.420 into recently
00:50:25.460 shows that,
00:50:26.900 once again,
00:50:27.140 the cracks are showing.
00:50:28.240 Everybody can see
00:50:29.660 what's happening.
00:50:31.100 All that needs
00:50:31.940 to happen
00:50:32.620 for the cracks
00:50:34.180 to just fully explode
00:50:35.680 and for the whole system
00:50:36.960 to come crumbling down
00:50:38.340 would be
00:50:39.220 for some kind
00:50:40.420 of organized
00:50:41.200 political opposition
00:50:42.380 because we both know
00:50:43.940 that you can't just have
00:50:45.000 the populist mass
00:50:46.320 of the people
00:50:46.960 rise up
00:50:48.460 and take back
00:50:49.620 the power.
00:50:50.200 That's not how
00:50:50.660 these things work.
00:50:51.480 You need some kind
00:50:52.180 of organized group
00:50:53.920 who are able
00:50:54.940 to organize
00:50:56.220 the masses
00:50:56.880 and affect
00:50:58.080 real change
00:50:58.860 in that way.
00:50:59.800 But the regime
00:51:02.640 is showing
00:51:03.160 more and more
00:51:03.880 that it's just happy
00:51:04.820 to stop acting
00:51:06.260 the fox
00:51:06.940 and play a little bit
00:51:08.280 more of the lion.
00:51:09.260 These are still
00:51:10.100 very pathetic people
00:51:11.720 who are in charge
00:51:12.740 of these countries
00:51:13.440 right now.
00:51:14.160 Honestly,
00:51:14.600 I would respect
00:51:15.480 them more
00:51:16.520 if they did
00:51:17.480 just start
00:51:18.500 breaking out
00:51:19.160 the guillotines.
00:51:20.040 But they don't
00:51:21.080 because they are cowards.
00:51:22.580 They are moral cowards
00:51:24.240 at the end of the day.
00:51:25.700 But they've shown
00:51:26.480 that they have built
00:51:27.180 up this gigantic
00:51:28.260 facade around them
00:51:29.420 of all of these laws
00:51:30.340 that give them
00:51:30.820 any reason
00:51:31.560 at any time
00:51:32.560 to be able to arrest
00:51:33.720 you and outlaw
00:51:34.600 your existence
00:51:35.200 and outlaw
00:51:36.220 your beliefs
00:51:37.020 as well.
00:51:38.500 So as long
00:51:40.040 as that still happens,
00:51:41.380 as long as they still
00:51:42.140 have the will
00:51:43.140 to actually
00:51:44.740 effectively
00:51:45.660 combat their opposition
00:51:47.300 in such a way
00:51:48.500 where they just
00:51:48.940 make it illegal
00:51:49.620 for you to oppose them,
00:51:51.260 I can't say for certain
00:51:52.540 how long it can last.
00:51:53.740 But I can say
00:51:54.440 for certain
00:51:55.240 that I don't think
00:51:56.600 it can last
00:51:57.180 for that much longer
00:51:58.320 because it's so transparent
00:52:00.920 is why there are
00:52:02.440 other elite groups
00:52:03.520 beginning to rise up
00:52:05.080 instead
00:52:05.600 and reveal
00:52:06.800 to the population
00:52:07.680 at large
00:52:08.200 that this is
00:52:08.680 what's going on.
00:52:09.720 People don't believe
00:52:10.660 in liberal democracy
00:52:11.640 anymore.
00:52:12.140 Liberal democracy
00:52:12.840 has been sold
00:52:13.500 to people
00:52:14.000 as a beautiful system
00:52:16.060 where you get a say
00:52:17.960 in what your country
00:52:19.340 does and the policies
00:52:20.640 that your country
00:52:21.340 puts forward
00:52:22.060 and what you're governed by.
00:52:23.760 But it's become
00:52:24.440 clearer and clearer
00:52:25.360 in recent years
00:52:26.800 that what Sam Francis
00:52:27.720 said about liberalism
00:52:29.120 is true.
00:52:29.880 It's not a system.
00:52:31.040 It's not a system
00:52:31.800 that allows you
00:52:32.500 to affect meaningful reform.
00:52:34.440 It is a set of beliefs
00:52:35.980 that are preferred
00:52:36.760 by our current elites
00:52:38.200 and they want to keep it
00:52:39.600 that way
00:52:40.060 and they don't want
00:52:41.180 anybody
00:52:41.780 who isn't already
00:52:42.980 one of them
00:52:43.720 to be part
00:52:44.660 of their party.
00:52:45.800 They don't want
00:52:46.400 anybody else
00:52:47.280 who can come
00:52:47.780 and affect it
00:52:48.360 so that their preferences
00:52:49.440 aren't always
00:52:50.460 the ones being
00:52:51.260 given primacy.
00:52:52.480 So I don't know
00:52:53.600 how long it can last
00:52:54.740 but I don't think
00:52:55.820 it could last
00:52:56.960 maybe more than
00:53:00.420 my grandchildren's lifetime.
00:53:03.100 maybe I'm being
00:53:04.320 maybe I'm being
00:53:05.480 a bit long
00:53:06.040 on the timescale there
00:53:07.040 but I still
00:53:07.500 as it stands right now
00:53:08.720 I don't see a way
00:53:09.480 out of this
00:53:10.000 if we're not allowed
00:53:10.740 to organize
00:53:11.680 effective opposition.
00:53:14.060 I think you're right
00:53:14.580 that it's not eternal
00:53:15.520 but it is a
00:53:16.200 multi-generational project
00:53:17.620 and it doesn't get started
00:53:19.260 if you don't start it now
00:53:20.380 so that's very important.
00:53:22.240 All right guys
00:53:22.760 before we go ahead
00:53:23.580 and pivot over
00:53:24.300 to the questions
00:53:25.160 of the people
00:53:25.740 Harry where should people
00:53:26.640 look for your great work?
00:53:28.960 Oh well you should
00:53:29.740 go over to
00:53:30.240 lotuseaters.com
00:53:31.780 you can find me on there
00:53:33.240 I do a regular
00:53:34.180 monthly series
00:53:34.960 with my colleague Connor
00:53:35.900 where we indulge
00:53:37.180 in our nerdy autism
00:53:38.580 and we talk about
00:53:39.560 comic books
00:53:40.220 we also do book clubs
00:53:41.780 like of many
00:53:43.040 different styles of books
00:53:44.280 I think one that
00:53:45.360 we're going to be doing soon
00:53:46.360 is looking at the book
00:53:47.760 that Nora Vinson wrote
00:53:48.920 where she dressed
00:53:50.200 as a man for a year
00:53:51.600 so she could get the idea
00:53:52.780 of what it's like
00:53:53.360 to be a man
00:53:53.980 and realized
00:53:55.360 it's not as rosy
00:53:56.260 as lots of feminists
00:53:57.400 seem to think it is.
00:53:59.020 It turns out
00:53:59.520 when everybody
00:54:00.240 on the street
00:54:00.840 sees you as a piece
00:54:01.760 of dirt
00:54:02.360 to be stepped on
00:54:03.300 life isn't quite as easy
00:54:04.880 as you might expect
00:54:05.760 it to be
00:54:06.220 and we also do
00:54:07.820 a daily podcast
00:54:08.660 that you can find
00:54:09.340 on YouTube
00:54:09.740 on the podcast
00:54:10.420 Lotus Eaters
00:54:11.180 along with me
00:54:12.200 you can find
00:54:12.700 as I mentioned
00:54:13.120 my colleague Connor
00:54:13.860 there
00:54:14.160 my great colleague
00:54:15.880 Stelios
00:54:16.320 who does great work
00:54:17.280 on philosophy
00:54:17.940 Carl Benjamin
00:54:19.200 Sargon of Akkad
00:54:20.140 I'm sure many of your viewers
00:54:21.300 will be very familiar with
00:54:22.340 he does regular content
00:54:23.780 there as well
00:54:24.560 so it's a really
00:54:25.640 great website
00:54:26.340 and we offer
00:54:27.920 subscriptions
00:54:28.440 for all the premium stuff
00:54:29.540 for as little as
00:54:30.100 five pounds a month
00:54:30.920 so well worth
00:54:32.100 the investment
00:54:32.560 if you ask me
00:54:33.220 yeah you guys
00:54:34.060 need to keep

00:55:17.020 we should be

00:55:26.860 midlife crisis
00:55:27.640 ten dollars
00:55:28.360 Warren tell Harry
00:55:29.420 to get a makeup girl
00:55:30.480 yeah guys
00:55:30.980 so I mean
00:55:31.520 if you're not
00:55:32.000 like it's always
00:55:32.920 weird to me
00:55:33.460 because like
00:55:33.820 I just have
00:55:34.280 the home studio
00:55:34.980 which is why
00:55:35.540 I'm like shiny
00:55:36.440 here but then
00:55:37.080 like I go
00:55:37.560 into the blaze
00:55:38.220 and they're
00:55:38.680 hitting you
00:55:39.000 with makeup
00:55:39.440 you know
00:55:39.960 brushes
00:55:40.340 and everything
00:55:41.020 oh we don't
00:55:41.460 have makeup
00:55:41.960 yeah yeah
00:55:42.660 yeah it's very
00:55:43.340 surreal
00:55:43.820 but it does
00:55:45.060 keep you
00:55:45.380 from being shiny
00:55:46.180 so
00:55:46.560 okay just
00:55:47.800 because a lot
00:55:48.440 of people
00:55:48.880 pointed this
00:55:49.600 out recently
00:55:50.220 it's worse
00:55:50.880 since we moved
00:55:51.520 into the new
00:55:52.060 studio
00:55:52.540 I think it's
00:55:53.200 because we've
00:55:53.580 got new
00:55:53.920 studio
00:55:54.200 you've got
00:55:54.380 better lights
00:55:54.980 yeah
00:55:55.260 yeah we've
00:55:56.220 got better
00:55:56.500 lights
00:55:56.760 so I just
00:55:57.120 should look
00:55:57.420 shinier on
00:55:58.000 it
00:55:58.140 right now
00:55:58.840 it's because
00:55:59.260 before I came
00:56:00.040 on this
00:56:00.340 I had a pretty
00:56:00.980 heavy gym session
00:56:01.900 so that's why
00:56:03.600 I'm sorry
00:56:04.600 I don't have
00:56:05.620 a professional
00:56:06.180 setup
00:56:06.660 I don't have
00:56:07.260 a brick wall
00:56:07.840 I do have
00:56:08.360 I do have
00:56:08.920 artwork
00:56:09.220 I've got
00:56:09.740 Dragon Ball Z
00:56:10.480 artwork
00:56:10.840 so that's the
00:56:11.840 best I can do
00:56:12.580 yeah until I
00:56:13.580 see blind
00:56:14.000 guardian
00:56:14.660 background
00:56:15.260 it's not
00:56:16.600 enough
00:56:16.860 I'm so
00:56:18.840 tempted to
00:56:19.340 start
00:56:19.580 posting
00:56:20.080 covers
00:56:20.940 guitar
00:56:21.640 covers
00:56:22.160 of blind
00:56:22.760 guardian
00:56:23.140 I've been
00:56:23.700 going through
00:56:24.020 a big
00:56:24.360 dimmubore gear
00:56:25.180 phase as well
00:56:25.960 at the moment
00:56:26.440 so god
00:56:27.240 I don't want to
00:56:28.220 get onto that
00:56:28.800 because we
00:56:29.120 could probably go
00:56:29.760 for hours
00:56:30.220 we'll set up
00:56:31.480 another episode
00:56:32.300 there
00:56:32.680 Tex-Mex for
00:56:33.800 five dollars
00:56:34.360 looks like just
00:56:34.880 a thank you
00:56:35.360 appreciate it
00:56:35.800 man oh no
00:56:36.240 there's another
00:56:36.680 hit one here
00:56:37.220 with a question
00:56:38.500 thank you sir
00:56:39.300 Oren have you
00:56:40.320 heard of
00:56:40.680 Carlism it's a
00:56:41.800 traditional Catholic
00:56:42.460 and Spanish
00:56:43.200 counter-revolutionary
00:56:44.020 movement from
00:56:44.740 the 1800s
00:56:45.780 there's a chapter
00:56:46.620 in Texas
00:56:47.040 yeah I'm pretty
00:56:47.700 sure they were
00:56:48.280 one of the
00:56:48.880 factions in the
00:56:49.720 Spanish Civil
00:56:50.460 War along with
00:56:52.000 the Falangists
00:56:52.700 and others I
00:56:53.520 believe so yeah
00:56:54.860 I mean I'm not
00:56:55.420 super familiar
00:56:56.260 with the specifics
00:56:57.500 of the tradition
00:56:58.280 but yeah I'm
00:56:59.160 aware of it as
00:57:00.040 a historical
00:57:00.880 event actually
00:57:02.420 I'm going to
00:57:03.060 have Panama
00:57:03.560 hat for those
00:57:05.220 who are familiar
00:57:05.680 he'll be on
00:57:06.500 Thursday and
00:57:07.020 we'll be discussing
00:57:07.700 the the causes
00:57:09.280 of the Spanish
00:57:09.860 Civil War so
00:57:10.760 if you'd like to
00:57:11.320 learn more about
00:57:12.000 that then I
00:57:13.000 think you'll
00:57:13.360 probably get
00:57:13.960 we'll probably
00:57:14.480 touch on
00:57:15.140 multiple factions
00:57:16.720 many people don't
00:57:17.580 know that the
00:57:17.980 right and left
00:57:18.340 are made up of
00:57:18.800 many different
00:57:19.280 factions there
00:57:19.980 a lot going on
00:57:21.840 in the Spanish
00:57:22.300 Civil War so
00:57:22.800 we'll be diving
00:57:23.560 deeper into that
00:57:24.580 so we might
00:57:25.460 hear more on
00:57:26.040 that

00:57:35.680 Spanish Civil War
