Summary
We're back for the Great Year of 2026, and things have never been better across the pond. We've got a new Tory leader, a new Prime Minister, and a new leader's party, and we have a whole new political party. It's the year of the patriots.

What is going on, everybody? We are back. Across the Pond is back for the great year of 2026.
00:00:07.080
I don't know about you, Connor. I have a really good feeling about 2026. I think this is going
00:00:10.480
to be the year of the Patriot. You know, it seems like spirits are high. The edits have
00:00:15.940
never been better, in my opinion. Some of the posters are now firing on all cylinders.
00:00:20.300
I've seen some great posts coming into 2026, but it's been like probably like a month since
00:00:25.240
we've been on camera together. What's going on? Give me some updates. What's going on
00:00:29.220
in the world of Connor? Well, nothing too joyous to report personally. I am not as optimistic
00:00:38.140
as you about 2026 being the year of the Patriot, but that's because we're currently abolishing
00:00:42.260
jury trials over in the UK, potentially banning X unless President Trump steps in as the likes
00:00:48.500
of Sarah Rogers has threatened to do. And I thought that 2026 was going to be mild but
00:00:55.000
also wild until yesterday. And the opposition party, the Conservative Party, finally decided
00:01:02.820
it wanted to achieve zero seats and speedrun towards electoral obsolescence because a bunch
00:01:08.760
of contingency plans of money power just came crashing down all at once. And the presumptive
00:01:14.720
guy that would take over the Yoruba girlboss who's currently leading the Conservative Party,
00:01:19.880
Kimmy Badenoch, as leader, decided to jump ship to Nigel Farage's Reform UK and position
00:01:24.140
himself as the J.D. Vance to Farage's Trump. Everything just turned overnight. So my cynicism
00:01:31.520
is not necessarily vindicated. It turns out 2026 is going to be more fun than I thought.
00:01:35.660
Yeah, yeah. We were coming in and, you know, I think everyone was just expecting to reform
00:01:40.120
to continue trudging along. I don't think anyone anticipated, well, maybe some are Patriots
00:01:45.340
in the know anticipated, but Rupert Lowe just completely dropping a nuclear bomb on the entire
00:01:49.260
political right zeitgeist. This was yesterday. Can you break down maybe the too long didn't
00:01:54.640
read of what exactly went down yesterday, especially because Twitter is down. So I think a lot of
00:01:59.320
people have missed quite a bit of the action over the last 24 hours. That's why everyone's attention
00:02:05.140
span has lengthened and their mood has improved. I'm going to assume something in the air. So at the
00:02:10.040
start of the week, Reform UK took in Nadim Zahawi. It's a name that's not going to mean
00:02:15.200
much to those in America. But he came to the UK when he was, believe, nine from Iraqi Kurdistan.
00:02:25.180
His parents fled Saddam Hussein's Ba'athist regime. His dad was on like banknotes. So he's
00:02:30.260
part of the regime prior to the Ba'athists. And he enmeshed himself in conservative party
00:02:35.240
politics. He founded YouGov, the sort of international polling company. So he's a very rich businessman.
00:02:40.820
In 2013, he was at Oxford Union arguing against Douglas Murray while he was an MP, demanding that
00:02:46.940
Britain bring in loads of Somalians so that Somalians can send remittances back to Somalia.
00:02:51.580
Otherwise, the Somali economy would collapse. He's that kind of conservative, right?
00:02:54.960
He was a minister under Boris Johnson. He was our equivalent of Anthony Fauci for a little bit.
00:02:58.880
He was the head of the vaccine rollout during COVID lockdowns. He introduced COVID passports,
00:03:03.120
vaccine passports. He was education secretary and wanted to abolish homeschooling or make
00:03:09.500
it at least so punitive that parents couldn't homeschool. And then he was chancellor for
00:03:14.040
like a week and then chair of the conservative party, at which point he was kicked out as
00:03:18.720
chair because it turns out that while he was chancellor, he failed to pay like 3.7 million
00:03:22.840
pounds in taxes and had to pay like 4.8 million total with like a penalty on top. So he's one
00:03:28.400
of the crooks that oversaw the Boris wave and reform celebrated him defecting. They even
00:03:33.420
changed their Twitter header to a photo of him borderline hugging Nigel Farage. And at
00:03:38.700
the press conference, he was, he was insulting journalists who had said, Hey, reform is going
00:03:43.260
to do an inquiry into COVID vaccine damage and they condemned lockdowns and passports and
00:03:48.260
that. So why are you in this party? Have you changed your mind? And he was saying that journalists
00:03:51.500
are stupid for asking it. He himself, I believe is a Muslim as well. So it's this conspicuous,
00:03:57.080
slow drip of not just conservative defectors from Boris Johnson's own cabinet. So reform
00:04:03.220
exists because of the Boris wave and yet they're trying to replace the Tories, but also replace
00:04:08.240
their own personnel with the Tories that they're meant to be reacting against. Very confusing,
00:04:12.600
but also this sort of filling up of reform's top brass with Muslim candidates or Muslim politicians.
00:04:17.500
And this is unthinkable to, to most of the European right and loads of our patriots in America
00:04:22.480
who see reform as kind of Britain's MAGA movement and think, okay, London is becoming
00:04:28.840
Londonistan. You know, Britain is, is on the cusp of becoming a nuclear armed Muslim nation as vice
00:04:34.600
president Vance joked in 2024. And then they look over our right-wing populist party and see
00:04:39.060
Muhammad Zia Yusuf, the former chairman, now parent heir apparent to Nigel Farage's crown is the guy that
00:04:46.320
called the police on Rupert Lowe. They see Layla Cunningham become the London mayoral candidate for
00:04:51.620
reform. And she's an Egyptian Muslim mother of seven who also used to post pro-diversity poetry,
00:04:56.740
go on pride marches and was nearly the conservative candidate for Rotherham. Yeah. You know, the
00:05:01.180
Pakistani grooming gang capital of Britain back in 2024. So she was nearly parachuted in there.
00:05:05.680
So now reformer running a Muslim against Muslim Sadiq Khan to reform on the Muslim mayor of London.
00:05:09.880
And then they take in a Muslim mass migration, mass vaccination apologist. And so the day after that,
00:05:16.540
they then take in, or two days after that, they then take in 20 councillors from mainly the
00:05:22.480
conservatives, independents, and one Green Party councillor for some godforsaken reason.
00:05:28.040
That's a beast of populism, Connor. This is based, it's not about left versus right,
00:05:31.860
it's about us versus the elite, Connor. Come on.
00:05:34.000
Yeah, we're going to fight the unit party by becoming the literal unit party. We're going
00:05:38.040
to become a refugee camp for every single person from every other party who wants to save or
00:05:42.840
rehabilitate their failed political careers. And so loads of reform voters, including myself,
00:05:50.280
because I voted for them before, despite, you know, being banned from the party for saying
00:05:53.140
some things that Top Brass didn't like, they were just ratioing them on Twitter. And obviously
00:05:57.020
Twitter isn't necessarily real life, but then the sort of average voter started calling into
00:06:01.120
the radio stations and leaving comments on all of the articles on GB News and things like that,
00:06:06.020
which are borderline reform propaganda outfits at this point. I mean, literally, the hosts of the
00:06:09.980
shows are either reform MPs or reform MPs in waiting. And then the hosts on talk are training
00:06:14.980
reform MPs in media training. So both of these entities are just pro-reform. But loads of the
00:06:20.440
callers started phoning in and telling the reform chairman, oh, I'm not going to vote reform anymore
00:06:25.420
because you're a party full of Muslims and Muslim Tories and it's meant to be for British people first.
00:06:29.340
And then the chairman just goes, no, these people are British. And it's like, if you have to convince
00:06:32.960
people they're British, they're not British. Like, come on. So after that wink of abhorrent
00:06:37.200
bad press to the point of where Nigel Farage had to sit there and go, we're not going to become
00:06:41.020
a life raft for conservatives. We're not going to accept any more Tory defectors and that they're
00:06:44.400
beneficial to us. It turns out that when they were about to announce their head of the reform
00:06:51.000
Scotland campaign, because we've got elections coming up, local elections and elections in Wales and
00:06:55.280
Scotland in May, as he convened the press conference, Kimi Badenoch, the Nigerian immigrant who leads
00:07:01.600
up the Conservative Party after she personally campaigned for the Boris wave, she announced
00:07:07.520
that Robert Jenrick, who was her leadership campaign rival in 2024, Jenrick's the guy who's
00:07:12.920
been going around doing these slick social media videos talking about the abolition of Magda
00:07:16.580
Carter, the fact that we imported this Egyptian revolutionary who was sitting in a prison for the last,
00:07:23.520
what, like 10 years, basically, who had a decade-long history of saying that he wanted to nuke
00:07:30.300
London and do a nuclear holocaust against white people, that he wanted to kill Jews, that he wanted to
00:07:36.140
rape white women, that he really, really, really hates white people, and all of this is publicly
00:07:39.480
available, but the last Conservative Party and the present Labour Party, while in government, were
00:07:44.520
campaigning tirelessly to bring him over because his mum is a British citizen because she's an anchor baby
00:07:48.660
and so he was eligible for British citizenship. Like, Robert Jenrick's been fighting against that.
00:07:52.640
All that sort of stuff. Jenrick's been very popular, but he was beaten out of the Conservative
00:07:56.500
leadership because all of the press outlets, like the Telegraph, GB News, uh, Spectator
00:08:03.420
Unheard, they were all promoting Badenog. So, he's been a rising star. Kemi announced during
00:08:09.040
Farage's press conference that Jenrick had been caught about to defect to Reform UK, and so she had
00:08:15.180
stripped him of his Conservative Party membership, banished him from the opposition shadow cabinet
00:08:20.460
immediately, and said basically, good luck. So, she was trying to get out ahead of his
00:08:25.380
defection, which she thought was going to happen that afternoon. It wasn't. Like, Reform weren't
00:08:29.260
going to announce it, the deal hadn't been caught. So, she thought she would, a bit like a jaded
00:08:34.280
girlfriend who's paranoid about you cheating on her, she thought that she would dump him first
00:08:38.260
and then go tell her friends just how small his dick was. Yeah. In many such cases. Yeah.
00:08:44.140
Backfired spectacularly, because then Reform just changed their press conference in the afternoon
00:08:48.280
to just take Jenrick in as a defector, and then Jenrick delivered the speech that they claimed
00:08:53.260
they found, like, lying on a photocopier somewhere that was proof of his defection.
00:08:57.300
He delivered that speech, but then threw in, like, loads of behind-the-scenes stuff about how
00:09:01.560
the Conservative Party was just lying to everyone for years. They were proposing policy they knew
00:09:05.220
weren't going to work because their donors wanted mass migration for cheap labour and to drag
00:09:08.800
up the cost of housing. The fact that the current Conservative Party is full of the architects of the
00:09:12.720
Boris Wave, like Brady Patel and Mel Stride, and how he resigned while he was in government,
00:09:17.120
but also now from the party on a matter of principle. And immediately, he uno-reverse-carded
00:09:22.760
Kemi Baydinox's attempt to oust him, flipped the narrative, and so overshadowed the fact that if
00:09:29.040
he had defected at another time, all of the questions about, well, weren't Faraj and Zia Yusuf
00:09:34.580
calling you a fraud and saying that all the Afghans you brought in were the Jenrick Wave, like,
00:09:38.480
only a few months ago. And instead, it became all about how he'd killed the Conservative Party,
00:09:44.200
the last hope for the Conservatives had just left the party. They've got no talent left,
00:09:48.180
they've got no momentum. Kemi Baydinox did the announcement looking like she was on a Zoom call,
00:09:52.620
we'll have to flash up an image or something. She was literally sat at home with a blurry background,
00:09:56.560
a scuffed mic, like she was lecturing him because he'd left an offensive joke on the company Slack
00:10:01.800
channel and was getting reprimanded by HR. And everyone's now talking about Jenrick being the
00:10:07.820
J.D. Vance to Faraj's Trump. And this is extra mega, and this is like internal faction war politics,
00:10:13.780
it's a bit autistic. No, no, I'm rambling here, so I apologize. But Zia Yusuf has been the largely
00:10:20.060
unpopular with the base, heir apparent to Nigel Faraj. Faraj just kept saying like, oh, I'll retire if
00:10:26.560
someone younger and better looking comes along. He's been putting Zia on in every position
00:10:31.320
imaginable. He was co-director of reform and chairman despite only giving like 200,000 pounds
00:10:35.620
coming from literally nowhere. He's been doing all the media interviews. He's been touted as the
00:10:40.500
second coming of Winston Churchill, just with like diversity-approved body armor because he's
00:10:44.700
a Muslim from Sri Lanka. And apparently, and I have this on good word, Zia did not know about
00:10:50.440
Jenrick's defection. Zia has been flaming Jenrick on Twitter for the best part of a year,
00:10:54.420
calling him a traitor, saying that he's emblematic of the last government, that we should have no
00:10:58.780
more Tory defectors. And Zia, while the announcement was going ahead, was not at the conference and
00:11:05.060
instead tweeted, no more Tories, your deadline to defect is the local elections, trying to reassert
00:11:10.360
his power. But Zia is now afraid, and quite rightly so, that his automatic coronation as Faraj's
00:11:16.900
successor just got jeopardized because Jenrick just looked like the best speaker, that he's killed
00:11:22.100
the conservatives, and all the images are now of Jenrick and Faraj with their arms around one
00:11:26.560
another, completely whitewashing the unpopular previous conservative defections from the last
00:11:30.940
week. And so, when you say what Rupert's role in this, dropping a nuke, responding to this,
00:11:37.420
Rupert has come out and said, okay, this is just the uniparty with a new coat of pain, whether or not
00:11:44.600
you like what Jenrick's been saying, because reform is just filling up with Tories, and next week
00:11:48.560
they're going to take a Labour defector. Okay, weird. And so Rupert said, clearly, the Conservative
00:11:54.300
Party is just done for, they've never learned their lessons, they're now just the party of
00:11:58.520
immigrants who brought in loads of immigrants, telling you how your culture includes them.
00:12:02.960
Reform is full of ex-Tories, Greens, Labour's, and it doesn't necessarily stand for anything
00:12:08.800
except destroying the previous two parties while filling up with its members. And so now Rupert
00:12:14.760
is teasing that by the next election, there will be an alternative, and he keeps saying,
00:12:18.420
I will promise you that it will be full of brand new candidates and things like this. So he seems
00:12:22.360
to be teasing a kind of restore party. Now, whether or not there's the time or funds to mobilise an
00:12:29.800
effort to reform's right is worth questioning. We do know, though, that Elon Musk is a big fan
00:12:35.040
of Rupert Lowe. We know that a significant portion of Reform's base, their original base,
00:12:39.680
left, and supported Rupert. Rupert has the largest social media presence of any MP in the country,
00:12:46.020
including dwarfing the analytics of Nigel Farage. He also has another independent ally in the other
00:12:53.100
Reform MP that was kicked out for some sort of trivial business matter called James McMurdoch.
00:12:56.740
Good chap. And so it is possible that Rupert sets up a marginal party to reforms right,
00:13:02.280
which could either lead to a splitting of the vote if Rupert continues to grow in popularity,
00:13:06.400
because he's on his own without a party. Rupert is polling at 9% nationally. Yeah.
00:13:12.060
Including pretty significantly in Wales as well, for some reason. Or his marginal party efforts
00:13:17.400
could face reform to move to the right and occupy that ground in the Overton window that
00:13:23.260
Rupert has vacated for them, or even make some kind of pact with Rupert and bring him back into
00:13:28.640
the fold, much to the seething anger of Zia Yusuf. So all very interesting at the moment.
00:13:35.320
Yeah. I have so many questions just to pick your brain on all of this. I think the first one,
00:13:42.160
let's get this one out of the way. There's this tendency on the right where we're perpetually
00:13:48.520
insecure whenever we do acquire power, whenever we are in a good position. We begin to doubt
00:13:53.380
ourselves and we begin to doubt our legitimacy because every institution has been captured by
00:13:58.380
the left for the most part. In the United States, all we have left is like police unions. That's pretty
00:14:02.640
much it. And it's vaguely similar obviously in Britain. Is that what's going on here? Because
00:14:08.980
I keep up, I read a publication in the UK, which is going to be very unpopular, probably cringe. I like
00:14:13.420
to read the conversation in the UK because there's something interesting. It's this publication where
00:14:18.000
it's all these academics and they're collaborating with journalists to produce all these pieces.
00:14:21.740
And it gives you really good insight into what the soy millennial zeitgeist is at the moment.
00:14:30.320
And every piece that they're putting out right now is glazing reform right now. They literally put
00:14:34.560
out this piece about how Zia Yusuf is professionalizing reform. So the fact that you're
00:14:41.620
getting seal claps from academics and journalists indicates that you are caving in every direction.
00:14:47.700
It's not really a surprise here. Is that partially what's going on? I guess to get to the original
00:14:52.280
question, is that partially what's going on? Is a lot of this just driven by insecurity among
00:14:56.100
reforms elite that they still are worried about what their perception is going to be among whatever
00:15:02.200
the equivalent would be of like your beltway sort of in Britain? Is that really what this is getting
00:15:06.420
at? Because yeah, I don't see why you would be just so eager to incorporate Zawi into the party,
00:15:13.300
throw them on all your branding if it wasn't driven ultimately by insecurity.
00:15:19.380
Some of it, yes. So Nigel Farage's willingness to embrace minority politicians comes from both him
00:15:26.060
and Gwaine Towler, who has been his sort of longtime right-hand man who was sacked by Zia Yusuf and
00:15:31.840
had to eat basically a plate of shit and then got reappointed on Reform's advisory board anyway and was
00:15:37.700
rewarded for his loyalty. Gwaine keeps putting out these terrible substacks. And look, I've met Gwaine,
00:15:43.120
he's very polite, but he's just an arch-liberal through and through. Yeah. Where he's saying
00:15:47.040
modern Britain is a mosaic and people like Zia Yusuf and Leila Cunningham represent Anglican Muslims,
00:15:52.800
Muslims who are moderate, who keep, observe their, I know, it's just absurd, who observe their faith
00:15:58.340
privately. And maybe if we all just promote these moderate Muslim candidates, we can care bear stare
00:16:03.480
a moderate Muslim revival within Islam and refute the last few centuries of like Salafism
00:16:09.260
and Sunni's and Shia's warring to appoint the next caliph. I mean, look, it's demented,
00:16:15.300
but that is the mentality. It's, it's, we can build, we can basically have Blairism as it was
00:16:20.640
promised. It was just bungled by, you know, Boris and Blair and May and Cameron and Sunak,
00:16:25.320
et cetera. Like they are actually like true believer liberals. They, they really want John
00:16:29.160
Lennon's Imagine to happen. They just want to do it through like tax cuts and the abolition of
00:16:33.040
identity politics rather than the anti-racist Leviathan state. Um, so there is, there is some
00:16:38.740
of that. And of course, Nigel Farage hates being called racist. He hates being called far-right.
00:16:43.000
He keeps saying that his proudest achievement was abolishing the actual far-right, you know,
00:16:47.560
like the BMP that did have some neo-Nazi sympathizers in it in the early 2000s. And so
00:16:52.100
he positions himself as the furthest acceptable fringe of the liberal consensus. And so encompassing,
00:16:59.420
you know, the first or second generation Muslim immigrants who he's astroturfed in his party
00:17:06.400
is for him, uh, kind of, uh, seeking the acceptance of a media and political establishment that will
00:17:14.500
hate him no matter what anyway, but he's still determined to make concessions to them. But
00:17:18.400
the Zahawi defection is quite different. So there are internal factions within reform. Uh, you can see
00:17:23.640
the contours of these in the respective interviews that each member gives and the
00:17:29.400
fact that some don't know what's going on with the other. For example, Zia Yusuf didn't know that
00:17:32.800
Robert J. Rick was going to defect. And that's why he really didn't like it. And Jemrick's faction
00:17:37.740
is very different to Yusuf's faction. There's a different set of money power behind each of them.
00:17:43.340
But the faction that keeps bringing in Boris's old cabinet ministers, like Nadim Zahawi or Jake
00:17:48.700
Berry or Nadine Dorries. Nadine Dorries wrote the online safety app, by the way. And the first thing she
00:17:53.620
said when she defected to reform was, well, maybe they should take Boris in. And Farage is like,
00:17:57.500
I'll draw the line of Boris. Are you serious? Even ES Standard. Yeah. It's like, okay, we're going
00:18:04.160
to denaturalize and deport the Boris wave. We're not going to have Boris in there. No. But the one
00:18:09.120
faction that's trying to bring him in is Richard Tice, who used to be the head of reform before
00:18:13.680
Nigel Farage came in and took over. And his girlfriend slash fiance, Isabelle Oakshott, she's
00:18:18.600
a journalist. She lives out in Dubai now. She's the editor of Talk TV. So, you know, literally
00:18:24.180
yet another propaganda outfit. They keep bringing old Tories in to build up their support base
00:18:30.560
because Tice has been personally sidelined by Zia Yusuf and some of the other people that
00:18:34.760
have come in. So all this is, is a King Lear-esque squabbling of siblings underneath the kind of
00:18:39.720
detached king who doesn't realize that his kingdom and the line of succession is itself
00:18:44.000
in jeopardy. Though that line of succession just got a lot more interesting with the influx
00:18:48.820
of someone like Robert Jenrick. So, and, and, and the other element of this as well
00:18:52.540
is, uh, international considerations. Now I covered this on a, on a live stream on my
00:18:58.160
channel. So, you know, those on the Tim Cost channel, you, uh, you hear it on my show
00:19:01.880
first. But Jenrick, Jenrick represents the Zionist wing of the conservative party. Uh, his
00:19:08.620
wife is Israeli American. He himself is a Jewish convert. His kids are Jewish. Uh, he has
00:19:13.080
a lot of the conservative friends of Israel donors in his corner. That's why people thought
00:19:17.540
he might actually beat Baden-Ock despite Baden-Ock having all of the media apparatuses on her
00:19:21.800
side because he has a lot more of the money and the international connections. And recently
00:19:26.220
reform have been positioning themselves to take a more Zionist, not necessarily interventionist,
00:19:32.560
but, um, uh, neoconservative in morality, if not tactics, foreign policy. So for example,
00:19:41.340
not long after Netanyahu recognized the sovereignty of Somaliland, Farage has been to like a Somaliland
00:19:46.480
independence protest in London. He was just at one of the, yeah, yeah. You know, it's very
00:19:52.520
relevant to your average UK or I suppose. Uh, he was also went to one of the Iranian revolutionary
00:19:58.080
protests in London with Nadim Zahawi and was filmed weeping. Um, which, you know, I, fair
00:20:06.460
enough. You might, you might have some sincere sympathies for the Iranian people, but yet
00:20:10.160
again, didn't we do this like a couple of years ago? There's been this feminist uprising
00:20:13.180
and it didn't amount to anything. Yeah. Again, I think this is more of a thing of like liberal
00:20:17.580
boomers and, um, anti-jihadists, which I have my sympathies again, trying to care, bear, stare
00:20:25.140
a revolution from our side of their borders. And it just doesn't really work out. Uh, and
00:20:30.420
also Richard Tice, I mean, he, he goes on frequent antisemitism marches with Michael Gove.
00:20:33.900
He signed the international like Holocaust remembrance declaration thing. So generic slots into that.
00:20:40.820
Pressing issue, obviously. Yeah. Yeah. You know, cause we were on the wrong side of that
00:20:45.020
issue. Clearly, um, just, uh, yeah, it's quite tiresome. But the reason I'm bringing that up
00:20:50.540
is because generic's generic brings a lot of those, those people, that money, that, uh, experience,
00:20:57.840
I suppose, being in government, being aligned with that faction into reform, which therefore
00:21:03.120
bolsters his likelihood of succeeding. And the other thing that it does do as well. And this
00:21:08.720
is the, the fact that Zia Yusuf is a Sri Lankan Muslim who has already pissed off a large portion
00:21:17.300
of the base by calling the police on Rupert Lowe and getting rid of him. It means that he
00:21:21.240
was already on the outs. And so generic now having a fair amount of donor clout, quite a
00:21:28.880
bit of experience, having personally destroyed the Tory party with one speech, being embraced
00:21:32.740
by Nigel and just being a white English guy now makes his position in the line of succession
00:21:38.840
more likely. Yeah. Well, that's kind of the question. I mean, from, from the American
00:21:45.620
perspective, we often get these things put on our desk because of Elon Musk. This is another
00:21:51.540
question I had. This is probably off the wall at this point. Cause I haven't heard the name
00:21:55.060
in a while, but Ben Habib, obviously, like if you go back last year, there was some discussion
00:21:59.860
around him, but in the States, we were hearing the name because of Elon Musk. Obviously he
00:22:03.540
went to the press and claimed that Elon had pulled him to start advanced UK, this sort
00:22:08.140
of thing. Where is he in the fold? Who's his constituent? Cause that's the toughest thing
00:22:12.240
for me, even as someone that, you know, keeps an eye on, on, on British politics, especially
00:22:15.740
now as we have this show, it's really tough to figure out where these constituencies are filtering
00:22:20.960
into. And that's the difficult thing with generic coming in is it's going to presumably
00:22:25.280
expand reforms, uh, base where it's going to make it even from my perspective, even increasing
00:22:30.860
more, more difficult, uh, to actually, um, put together something consistent. Cause like
00:22:36.260
you said at the top of the show, reform is more defined in what they're against. And really
00:22:41.120
any political movement that's defined in what it's against is never going to be a legitimate,
00:22:45.700
you know, movement going forward. Because again, if you're just positioning yourselves as
00:22:50.460
the perpetual opposition, what happens when you enter power is you completely fall apart.
00:22:55.260
Because you'd no longer have something that you're opposing. Um, so some of these figures,
00:22:59.500
like that's why I bring up Ben Habib, you've seen some of these defectors in the past. And
00:23:03.140
then obviously Elon Musk, you know, promoting them, these sorts of things. Where does that,
00:23:08.140
where is Elon, where do you think Elon's head is at? Cause I mean, that's going to be a massive
00:23:12.360
dynamic going forward with reform, um, with Rupert. Where does, where's, where's the political
00:23:18.580
landscape right now? Where, where all these previous defectors who aren't necessarily on
00:23:22.880
the Rupert Lowe train, where are the constituents, like, is the constituency, are they split or are
00:23:28.020
they, what's the situation with, I guess you would call it like the populist base, so to speak.
00:23:33.680
No, I think that's the perfect characterization. I mean, people may remember that Musk woke up one
00:23:38.820
day and tweeted reform needs a new leader because Nigel Farage hasn't got what it takes. And this was
00:23:44.500
as a result of seeing the treatment of Ben Habib, because Ben Habib didn't win his seat in the
00:23:52.300
2024 election and he was deputy leader of reform and was unceremoniously demoted by Zia Yusuf,
00:23:58.140
who then became chair and then Ben resigned from the party because he had never met Zia, but Zia
00:24:03.860
decided to boot him out. Despite Ben, you know, being in reform for quite some time, holding it
00:24:08.080
together since the Brexit party. But he had a bit of personal acrimony with, with Farad as well. They,
00:24:13.080
they didn't always get along. And so I think, so for those who don't know, Ben set up Advance
00:24:19.920
UK, which I, I want to make it very clear. I like Ben. He's always been a very, very gentlemanly
00:24:27.720
to me. Rupert did kind of put a stone in the shoe of it immediately as it launched, because
00:24:35.360
not only did Rupert launch Restore Britain, his campaign group, on the same day as Advance
00:24:39.660
UK. Yes. And, and also declined to become leader of Advance UK because that's what Ben
00:24:45.840
wanted. But Rupert, in an interview, was offhand asked why he didn't become leader. And he
00:24:50.260
said it's because the name and branding sounds like toothpaste. And just, I, yeah, I think
00:24:57.800
it could, Restore Britain is better. Sorry. Just the branding is better.
00:25:01.260
Maybe like a deodorant. Maybe more like a deodorant, I think. 72 hour protection and,
00:25:07.060
you know, these sorts of things, which is going to be very off-putting to the Indian constituency,
00:25:09.720
obviously. So that's potentially a, you know, marketing issue.
00:25:12.800
That, that, that would track Ben as half Pakistani. So I think that's actually a subcontinental
00:25:18.460
ethnic faction wars are probably on brand for British politics. But Advance UK represents the
00:25:23.020
kind of people who were made up reforms grassroots and then were excised from the party by Zia
00:25:28.320
Yusuf for saying like boomerwaffen things on Facebook and getting attacked by communist
00:25:35.880
hit job group. Hope not hate. People are still getting fired from Reformed HQ, by the way,
00:25:39.640
because of hope not hate hit pieces. That hasn't stopped. So hope not hate. Yeah. Yeah. I met
00:25:44.380
a guy that happened to the other day and that was this year. Uh, so it's yeah, pretty, pretty
00:25:49.460
appalling. That's what's so crazy because stateside, like media matters put me in one of their
00:25:52.700
write-ups and it was like one of my, it was just because when I see these media matters
00:25:56.320
write-ups, they're literally just giving me, cause it used to be, you had to scroll the
00:26:00.200
timeline to get the best takes. Now I just wait for media matters to drop a piece and
00:26:04.160
they're literally just thrown in like the Patriot highlights from the week. It feels like I'm
00:26:07.300
watching sports centers, top 10 plays. Cause like they threw me in there. I think I, I said
00:26:12.260
Somali's IQs are so low. They don't even have like a perception of morality. It was something
00:26:16.500
along those lines. And I was reading, I was like, that's so true. I can't believe I even said
00:26:19.320
that. Cause that's like so true. I didn't even know I was capable. I didn't know I was in
00:26:22.180
flow state like that. And you're just looking at all the other Patriots takes on that issue
00:26:25.940
that week. Like Will Chamberlain drop in, you know, Michael Knowles just throwing in
00:26:29.660
something about like the Greeks. It's wonderful. And so in the, in the States, when you get
00:26:33.660
thrown on the highlight reel, you know, the top 10, uh, you know, base plays of the week,
00:26:37.660
you're excited. You're framing it on your wall. You're throwing tweets up, you're sending
00:26:40.920
to your boys, but the UK hope not hate comes after you and then you lose your job.
00:26:46.300
It's like, yeah, I can't wait for them. I'm looking forward to their state of hate report
00:26:51.940
for this coming year, because it's just going to have like a page on me and all my greatest
00:26:55.440
hits behind which, you know, I stand behind everything. It is particularly absurd as well
00:27:00.280
because one of their senior employees, and they say he's a junior, but you know, he represented
00:27:04.580
them in government committee hearings about the online safety act, talking about how to
00:27:08.140
keep kids safe. Uh, he just been convicted as being a pit file. So the fact that you would
00:27:13.140
ever listen to these total freaks who are just a state funded smear outfit with the help
00:27:18.980
of the intelligence agencies, the home office and the police, very disreputable. But anyway,
00:27:23.720
so, uh, Advance UK exists to snap up a load of the local associations that reform had and were cut
00:27:32.580
loose by Zia Yusuf in his centralized professionalization effort. Like they didn't want any of their
00:27:37.580
local council candidates, for example, to have social media because they considered it a liability.
00:27:41.020
So that immediately shrinks your eligible recruitment pool. Whereas you've got the,
00:27:45.900
one of the lessons the Trump revolution learned is that social media is your friend. It circumvents
00:27:49.440
mainstream media gatekeeping. And actually your base really likes the deportation hype
00:27:53.660
edits that you're posting on the official White House Twitter account. So maybe do more of that
00:27:57.120
reform. So, um, Advance UK exists as a newly incorporated political entity that is basically,
00:28:04.260
uh, the grassroots populist base and has a lot more of a working class bottom up feel a bit like
00:28:13.940
early UKIP did. And this is why they've co-balanced around the, I don't think it's unfair to call him
00:28:18.700
a folk hero figure of Tommy Robinson, who is a member and a spokesperson for Advance UK.
00:28:25.700
And it's why Ben Habib spoke at the Unite the Kingdom rally that lots of Americans will have seen
00:28:29.880
because Elon Musk did a, a sort of, um, he looked like the, the floating head in Power Rangers.
00:28:35.940
He did like a giant screen, like telecall into it. Yeah. Nearly, yeah, nearly, nearly incited an
00:28:42.420
insurrection on British streets, according to the mainstream media. And even clearly has a watchful
00:28:47.700
eye on Advance, but the thing is with Advance, and again, I'm not counter-signaling and I'm not
00:28:50.560
discouraging any effort to try to create other movements that represent the vacant space in the
00:28:57.520
Overton window to reforms, right, that they are intent on not occupying for some reason.
00:29:01.180
Though Jenrick might change a bit of that because he's been to the right of Farrell and a lot of
00:29:04.060
things, Advance doesn't have any senior personnel yet. Like they, they just have Ben and Tommy
00:29:11.020
Robinson. Whereas part of the reason for the frustration, I think, of Advance figures and
00:29:16.380
the broader British right who haven't attached themselves to Advance, there's a lot of Anons
00:29:19.540
out there or just, or just spokespeople like myself or Carl Benjamin that aren't members of
00:29:23.660
Advance, they aren't members of Reform, who are looking at Rupert and seeing him as a, as
00:29:29.520
a leader of men. He's very charismatic. He seems to command the discourse. He has a
00:29:33.740
disproportionate impact on parliamentary politics as well as general political discussions, even
00:29:39.420
though he's banned from GB News and talk and things like that.
00:29:41.040
He's just a talented, it's okay to say he's just a talented politician. Like that's something
00:29:46.020
that, you know, because it's like, you know, the new populace, like it's, it's uncool to
00:29:50.460
be a politician. You know, you're, everyone's supposed to be an outsider. There actually is
00:29:54.060
serious utility, especially as we intellectualize this post-Brexit, post-MAGA, you know, political
00:29:59.680
zeitgeist. There is something to be said about bringing in people that are just simply talented
00:30:05.460
Yeah. And it's really frustrating that he's not actually in Reform because I think he would have
00:30:09.900
been in the generic faction, basically, and he would be a shoe-in for, you know, Shadow
00:30:14.600
Chancellor, but that's obviously the coveted job that Zia Yusuf wanted, which is one of the
00:30:18.600
reasons why he probably helped get rid of him. But now lots of eyes are falling on Rupert
00:30:21.920
Lowe because, and not just over on our side of the Atlantic, but also in America because
00:30:25.960
of his Tucker interview, because of his social media output, and they're wondering what he
00:30:30.400
does next. The likelihood that Lowe can get something viable to surpass Reform in any
00:30:36.520
significant extent looks difficult at the moment. But you mentioned Musk. I mean, I, and again,
00:30:46.040
I know these, the people involved in these conversations, so I don't wish to, don't wish
00:30:50.680
to disparage anyone. But if an entity were to be launched by Rupert Lowe and they're already
00:30:55.580
polling at like 9%, it's not unlikely that Musk at least throws him some money over advance.
00:31:01.700
And it could just be that Ben recognises that Rupert has more of a mandate of heaven,
00:31:08.280
doesn't exist as a party, as you said, that defines itself by what it's against, and advance
00:31:15.040
seems to be against reform, whereas Rupert seems to be for a set of policies put forward
00:31:20.220
by Restore Britain. And Restore Britain also, I don't know if you read Curtis Yarvin's recent
00:31:23.820
piece on the lack of Rubicon energy in the second Trump administration.
00:31:27.360
I haven't read it yet, but I've seen it, yeah. Snippets.
00:31:29.800
Yeah, okay, so strap in, it's going to be about three days to get through it. But he
00:31:36.140
Yeah, yeah, it's a very eloquent schizo post. But in it, he proposes the sort of politics
00:31:41.880
of the 20th century, as defined by Silicon Valley, as a hard party, which is centred around
00:31:47.240
a charismatic figurehead with party apparatchiks that are all on the same page that give its
00:31:51.420
members the illusion of democracy by having them vote on an app for things that the party
00:31:56.080
already wants, so that the populist faction fulfil their appetite of political blood sports
00:32:04.180
in, you know, vanquishing the enemy and empowering their friends, while having actually no consequence
00:32:08.040
on the direction of the party, but the party still does what's in their interest. And what
00:32:11.600
he's describing is basically Restore Britain, which at this point is an app and a cross-party
00:32:16.440
membership organisation that puts forward policies that the leader and the policy formulators
00:32:21.020
already think of, that they know are going to play well with the base. The base vote for
00:32:24.880
it, so the base are like, okay, I'm actually engaged in crafting the policy agenda, but
00:32:29.940
the policies are, they're not proposed by the base, they're proposed by the leadership
00:32:32.840
who know what the base wants. So Rupert is kind of like a hard party in waiting, it just
00:32:37.420
matters as to whether or not there's an electoral constituency large enough to either surpass
00:32:41.600
reform or justify reform having to go into a coalition post-election with Rupert in order
00:32:47.960
to guarantee a majority government. Okay. Yes. Yes. Can we do a, let's do a mental exercise
00:32:54.880
here. This is going to be really tough, I think, but I think we should do it. So obviously
00:32:59.320
Starmer slipping in the polls, he's below the Tories now, which is hilarious. We know, we
00:33:05.360
know some people, especially you will know some people that are still tepidly pro-reform
00:33:12.120
or at least still viewing reform as the most viable political vehicle going forward for
00:33:16.240
their ideas or our ideas collectively. Can you attempt to, in lieu of Starmer's serious
00:33:22.180
collapse here, can you attempt to steel man the patriot argument for reform as it stands
00:33:28.020
right now, especially with the generic defection?
00:33:31.440
Oh, absolutely. Because I know people within reform who are making this argument from a good
00:33:35.240
place. Matt Goodwin, for example, a very eloquent academic who, as far as candidates go to carry
00:33:43.760
on or even surpass the Farrell's legacy, is a good one. They're arguing that reform is a
00:33:50.360
once-in-a-generation opportunity, having gained the loyalty of the red wall, so the equivalent
00:33:56.960
of, I suppose, Trump sweeping all of the swing states, the left behind places like
00:34:05.200
Ohio and Wisconsin and Michigan, Rust Belt, in 2016. Reform are going to win there, basically
00:34:12.540
no matter what, because they're just voting reform as a protest vote against mass immigration
00:34:17.300
and both Labour and Conservatives. And Keir Starmer is now the most unpopular prime minister
00:34:22.320
since records began. Labour have slumped in the polls to the extent to where they may win
00:34:27.260
between four and fourteen seats. So they're going to be beaten by the Green Party, right?
00:34:33.320
And they're just the... They're Zora Mandani split into two people, genuinely. The Green Party
00:34:37.720
is led by a Muslim called Mothin Ali, who won a local council seat in 2024 and shouted,
00:34:42.600
Allahu Akbar, this is for Gaza. What that has to do with compost and recycling, I have no idea.
00:34:47.520
And then a guy called Zach Polanski, who is a gay hypnotist who changed his name to be more
00:34:51.520
Jewish. Yeah. So, very strange. So, they're going to win more seats than Labour. The Liberal
00:34:58.220
Democrats are probably going to be the opposition party, because they're basically a... They're the
00:35:03.360
party of Martha's Vineyard, essentially. Right. They are... They're basically an English ethnic
00:35:08.220
party, but they're the party of luxury beliefs, because they're like, refugees welcome, just
00:35:11.220
not in my backyard. Yeah. They're always taking these really weird niche policies, like they're
00:35:15.060
really fired up about garbage disposal and stuff like that. It's like...
00:35:18.420
Yeah. Swimming in rivers, and they have water salination. They're the politics that we would
00:35:24.100
have if we were being demographically replaced. Right. Well, it's the same thing in America
00:35:28.720
with Ezra Klein and the abundance. They call it abundance liberalism, or whatever his piece
00:35:33.020
was called. It's the Yimby party where, yeah, these policies would be viable if we lived in
00:35:38.400
a country that was stable, but we don't. So, it's just a waste of time to even pursue these
00:35:42.500
policies. When I see the Ezra Klein abundance policies, when I see Lib Dems, it's like the
00:35:48.040
same exact playbook, where it's like, yeah, this would have been interesting in
00:35:52.020
like 1950, but we're not there right now. It's like the party of people that don't know
00:35:59.040
Yeah, we want a Scandinavian social safety net, but not Scandinavian demographics. I mean,
00:36:04.440
But yeah, so the Steelman case is that you have the potential for these fractured left-wing
00:36:11.140
parties, including now a large faction of conservatives who are today calling Robert
00:36:16.560
Jenrick, a pound shop Enoch Powell, and thinking that that's not an endorsement.
00:36:22.560
It's not impossible that basically every party coalesces together to form what the German
00:36:30.600
parties call a firewall against the AFD, right?
00:36:33.360
So, even the supposed center-right parties work with the Communist Party to keep you out.
00:36:37.640
So, there is an argument that reform is the natural home for dispossessed native voters,
00:36:45.380
voters, and low-propensity voters who have been driven to get involved in politics because
00:36:51.660
of the state of the country and their hatred of both parties who have sold us down the river,
00:36:58.400
And so, you just need to focus on getting them in first, and then put your differences aside
00:37:03.440
until, after victory, you can debate within the coalition who gets rewarded through the
00:37:11.820
patronage network, which policies are put forward.
00:37:16.040
I would almost invert the argument, and this is the purpose of a lot of what I do, and
00:37:21.240
this is why I think even if Rupert were to start his own thing, it would be successful
00:37:24.780
even if it weren't electorally viable, is that all of my commentary is done presuming
00:37:30.400
that reform are going to win, and therefore it's not a matter of where they're going to
00:37:33.540
win, so it doesn't really matter if, you know, I'm just one voice atop everyone else
00:37:38.840
in the country saying that Starmer sucks, because he does.
00:37:43.400
Instead, putting reform in the best position in order to govern when they win is more important.
00:37:49.940
So, for example, demanding that their election manifesto, because we, a bit like, in the
00:37:57.220
States, you don't have manifestos in the same way.
00:37:59.100
Like, you'll announce policies, but you don't have, like, a full prospectus that you can just
00:38:03.040
And the reason we do that in the UK is because if it's not in your manifesto, then the House
00:38:06.880
of Lords, the unelected appointed equivalent to your Senate, which is the United States,
00:38:10.940
the Senate, was based on back in the day, they can block bills that go through Parliament
00:38:15.320
that weren't explicitly voted on by the electorate.
00:38:19.160
And so if reform wants to do radical stuff, like re-politicize the civil service, hire and
00:38:23.780
fire every civil servant, abolish the Supreme Court, deport every illegal immigrant, repeal
00:38:27.800
loads of laws that go back to the 70s, even the 40s, they need to put that in their manifesto.
00:38:32.360
They need to not just justify it to the public, but they need to win with it written out.
00:38:36.340
And so I kind of exist to say, you actually can't just become a conservative refugee camp,
00:38:42.300
you can't rehabilitate the careers of politicians that nobody likes, you shouldn't be putting
00:38:46.000
forward Muslim candidates and total grifters like Leila Cunningham, and you should be proposing
00:38:50.040
these policies like mass legal repeal or remigration, because if you don't propose
00:38:54.760
them before the election, they're going to get blocked by the House of Lords, which
00:39:01.020
So there is absolutely the case for people saying, we still need to vote reform, we need
00:39:05.620
to focus on making reform the best it can be before the next election.
00:39:09.820
But the way in which you force reform to conform to a set of political incentives that aren't
00:39:17.440
just directed at them by the BBC and the other parties is what's up for debate.
00:39:24.020
Well, to shift gears here a bit, it's in theme with the show that we have in general, which
00:39:29.640
is that the audience accepts our presuppositions, so that way we don't have to just explain
00:39:37.320
I don't think it's productive to continue to just hammer on about these things.
00:39:40.000
I think what's more productive is to, again, presume that reform, presume that Trump are
00:39:45.060
going to be in power going forward, and to then steer the discourse in a direction that's
00:39:49.300
going to be more productive in pursuit of our goals.
00:39:52.160
And why that matters, what we're trying to do, obviously, is correct some potential issues
00:39:59.540
with our rhetoric or our discourse that could lead to really large misfires or backfires,
00:40:07.160
Something that I'm seeing that Raj has been doing for years, and you're seeing it now in
00:40:14.420
Again, we don't need to explain to you, like we know that the shooting was clean, etc., etc.
00:40:18.840
Everyone at this point knows, I think it would be redundant to just give our take on the
00:40:22.780
whole thing, because it's going to be the same as everyone on the right.
00:40:26.820
Where I'm seeing a misstep from people on the right is they have this propensity, and Farage
00:40:33.340
does the same thing, is to dance around what the issue actually is that everyone knows that's
00:40:39.260
right in your face, and to be what I call safe edgy, where it's like you can still deliver
00:40:45.140
punchy commentary in a way that the average viewer at home goes, wow, this guy really
00:40:50.520
He'll just say whatever, without actually challenging something that would be a serious threat to
00:40:59.320
And so what I'm seeing on the right in the U.S. right now, what they're doing is they're
00:41:05.180
They're going all out on the middle-aged liberal white woman.
00:41:08.340
And they're kind of positioning the liberal white woman as the biggest issue in the United
00:41:18.340
Like Renee Goode falls into this description, clearly someone that's just a bonehead and
00:41:24.640
sort of emblematic of this type of phenotype that they're describing.
00:41:28.760
But I think it's a mistake to go all in on the liberal white woman as the biggest issue
00:41:34.540
in the United States, because, for example, I'm from Memphis, Tennessee, and when I think
00:41:38.340
about the issues of what makes life difficult for a Memphian, not really thinking about liberal
00:41:46.800
And I've received some flack from the Timcast audience for my defense of Karens, where I'm
00:41:52.120
saying the original definition of Karen is just a white woman that's kind of uppity and
00:41:57.520
expects, you know, that has basic expectations of customer service and these sorts of things.
00:42:02.820
And I think attacking that phenotype is actually a mistake because we should be pursuing higher
00:42:09.500
We should be frustrated with how bad things are getting in the United States.
00:42:13.260
Why would you attack one person that, okay, maybe they're a little too uppity from time
00:42:17.020
to time, but generally they're trying to keep everyone in line.
00:42:20.520
And so what I'm seeing is people just continuing to rail on this liberal white woman phenotype.
00:42:25.500
And what they're doing is they're avoiding the issue that's driving this entire Minnesota
00:42:29.680
scandal in the first place, which is mass migration or immigration broadly and also like black
00:42:36.620
I mean, this is the issue in Memphis is black crime.
00:42:39.060
Fundamentally, we had this discussion with the arena is the roots situation where there
00:42:42.980
was this moment where everyone across the right was on the same page.
00:42:48.200
It's causing us so many problems and no one wants to address it.
00:42:50.700
The black community seems to blame external factors for this issue rather than having
00:42:57.220
sort of an in-house discussion on, okay, maybe we have some serious cultural flaws, cultural
00:43:02.760
But the only actual, you know, anecdote that the right seems to be able to provide is again,
00:43:08.500
blaming the, you know, liberal white woman or just the middle-aged white woman broadly.
00:43:13.240
When you look at middle-aged white women in the United States as a voting block, they're
00:43:21.220
If you look at a map, I'll put it on the screen of states.
00:43:24.200
If only white women voted only, I think it was middle, middle-aged white women or white
00:43:28.220
women voted, you would have a similar voting map to how the voting map actually turned out
00:43:34.060
So it's just this weird, you've probably seen it with Farage where Farage I think is the
00:43:39.180
epitome of safe edgy where he knows the issues that he can tackle where he really postures
00:43:45.020
himself as like this truth teller, kind of this tough guy, but he avoids the issues that
00:43:50.820
are actually threatening to the liberal regime as it is.
00:43:54.780
I just don't perceive a universe in where liberals feel threatened by people just attacking middle-aged
00:44:05.380
What's your perception on this sort of safe edgy?
00:44:09.120
Do you agree that Karens are actually like the last thing standing between us and just total
00:44:17.060
So to add to your map, if you winnow the criteria down to married white women, it's overwhelmingly
00:44:25.500
So part of the problem is the sexual revolution and the definition of ourselves as self-authoring
00:44:33.540
autonomous subjects who aren't defined by our relationships, but instead are desires independent
00:44:39.200
And I think that just drives men and women mental, but in very different ways.
00:44:42.720
And so if you've got women like Renee Good, who is an outlier, who was a widower, but then
00:44:48.720
got in a lesbian relationship, just very, very strange and seems to have just been driven
00:44:55.100
demented by the kind of ideology that MSNBC spews out to the extent of where she forfeits
00:45:03.260
And in a particular instance of the one that she was trying to thwart, the deportation of
00:45:06.280
a child molester, then yeah, this is a total outlier.
00:45:10.860
And look, even if it were, the answer is never to take the side of a people other than your
00:45:18.180
own in any context, by the way, foreign affairs, domestic affairs.
00:45:22.420
And so if you're jumping aboard the kind of third world coded white women, am I right?
00:45:27.960
Sort of sentiment we've seen coming out of both the resentment of the manosphere, but
00:45:34.440
also, again, as you said, the safe, edgy critiques of the right, then you are neglecting your
00:45:41.220
duty as a man to show leadership in your civilization, but also in your personal relationships.
00:45:46.680
Because if there is a cohort of women in your country that are engaging in suicidal
00:45:51.180
empathy, then it's your responsibility to mitigate that for their good, the good of all
00:45:56.680
of their loved ones, the good of your civilization.
00:45:59.320
It's not, therefore, a license to replace them with base browns, because that is the mentality
00:46:08.560
This is, when you said about Farage, he doesn't really do this with women, but he just goes,
00:46:12.220
oh, the left, they're so intolerant, they say, be kind, and they're not actually, aren't
00:46:17.700
And it's like, okay, Nigel, but you're currently astroturfing the one semi-based, like, British
00:46:24.280
values, brand-safe immigrant who still uses the term far-right as a pejorative to her
00:46:30.540
Meanwhile, the vast majority of crimes, like sex crimes, that are committed in London, for
00:46:37.120
example, are committed by men who never needed to be in the country, because they're either
00:46:40.260
first-generation or second-generation immigrants.
00:46:42.920
And the disproportionate number of those are committed by Muslims, like Afghanis and Eritreans
00:46:48.220
are like 20 times more likely to commit that kind of crime.
00:46:50.340
And so you're obscuring the true nature of things, and unless you get to the true nature
00:46:56.300
And they are all problems because they're all optional, because those people just shouldn't
00:46:59.600
And so don't throw your own people under the bus to not get called mean names by the people
00:47:04.040
whose politics enables these atrocities in the first place.
00:47:07.200
And the final point on Karam, the reason it's a particularly annoying anti-white slur for
00:47:11.800
me is because I remember Karam being used originally around the time of BLM to talk about white
00:47:16.740
women who are policing the excesses of black behavior.
00:47:23.500
I remember one called the police on some cookout that was happening in a park.
00:47:28.180
And you do get this archetype of overly tone policing and that you get this archetype of
00:47:40.280
women who will try and manage their own internal anxieties by managing your external behavior.
00:47:47.620
It's an excess of kind of like devouring mother behavior, don't get me wrong.
00:47:51.920
But it had a racial twinge to it when the meme was coined.
00:47:56.060
And proper place for Karens is as a civilization affirming force.
00:48:00.140
So they should be running women's institutions.
00:48:02.420
They should be telling you not to leave, you know, litter in your car or not to spit chewing
00:48:06.480
gum out on the street or to ensure that everyone gets a refund on the flight when it's delayed,
00:48:12.240
Like they should be with Dave Green made this point.
00:48:15.800
He has an excellent podcast for everyone that doesn't watch it called Fiddler's Green.
00:48:22.040
In his most recent episode, he spoke about this particular shooting.
00:48:24.880
And he said, what you have to understand is progressivism has displaced tradition and
00:48:29.860
Christianity and parasitized women's natural desire to be the enforcer of rules and derive
00:48:40.080
It's gone from saying, you said grace a meal improperly and you should, you know, say penance
00:48:46.400
for that, to you didn't do a land acknowledgement before Thanksgiving and isn't Thanksgiving itself
00:48:52.700
So you have to understand that if you just substitute the ruling morality and therefore
00:48:57.540
the incentive structure, you'll get a preference cascade.
00:48:59.700
And the personality temperament that causes a Karen to enforce rules will actually be for
00:49:06.680
a pro-civilizational force rather than an anti-civilizational force.
00:49:11.520
And so stop scapegoating white women when they aren't necessarily the problem.
00:49:17.800
I get a bit frustrated with conservatives where they literally chalk up every issue in regards
00:49:25.220
to women, to men not leading, because that happens a lot, and especially in regards to
00:49:30.880
But I think this is an instance where that would actually be the accurate prescription, which
00:49:35.040
is, no, this is because men are purposely vacating space in which they're failing to address
00:49:43.060
the actual issue that is sort of driving this, this, it's driving the civilizational decline
00:49:51.740
Again, it's, it's, it's men, um, politicians specifically refusing to just endorse mass
00:49:59.020
deportations, refusing to, again, police black communities, these sorts of things.
00:50:04.420
And then that's when, like you're, like you're saying, or like Dave Green was saying is, uh,
00:50:08.820
yeah, this, this propensity for these women with this personality types to actually
00:50:12.760
deploy it in a useful manner, like where they should just be sort of terrorizing a retail
00:50:20.260
Instead, they're using it and weaponizing in HR departments or as the college advisors
00:50:27.540
And, uh, it's just, it's just a massive, uh, self-own because like you said, and I think
00:50:33.080
this is a really important point is the term Karen was really originally weaponized again
00:50:44.460
Like people were just using it broadly to describe like Elizabeth Warren or something,
00:50:49.280
But, um, yeah, you're never, we make this point on the show all the time.
00:50:54.120
You're never actually going to beat the left by entering their ecosystem and then trying
00:51:01.000
You always have to pull them into your domain and then beat them there.
00:51:06.500
They already hate middle-aged white women for a variety of reasons.
00:51:14.620
Why accept their framing and then try to beat them at that game?
00:51:20.160
It's like, okay, the question is what drove someone like Renee Good to put her life down
00:51:28.620
I think that would be the issue we should be addressing instead of, again, just like attacking
00:51:33.720
sort of a natural feminine trait, which is, again, um, sort of policing behavior to a degree.
00:51:43.060
And that's what they do is like teachers and these sorts of things.
00:51:45.340
It's just, it's just a massive self blunder from my perspective.
00:51:49.480
And again, just to go back to it, that's the fault of men.
00:51:57.740
It's like, oh, while you're attacking middle-aged white women.
00:52:00.420
And yeah, I'm sure that's a serious threat to the liberal regime who already hates middle
00:52:10.480
We should be, again, sort of uplifting women in that regard.
00:52:14.880
Again, you can, there's plenty of meat on the bone to critique someone like Renee Good.
00:52:18.380
But the point you made, I mean, she's an outlier.
00:52:20.780
And the exception doesn't disprove the norm, which when this tendency is properly deployed
00:52:26.780
in a, again, stable society, there's actually a very useful tendency.
00:52:32.660
Again, for one, it just keeps children in line.
00:52:36.200
Yeah, that, so, so I want to pick up on something there because you said, of course, uh, there's
00:52:40.400
been a lot of critiques on the right for saying it's just men's fault for not leading their
00:52:45.860
relationships, which is why, you know, you can't lament the condition of modern women
00:52:50.860
because it's, it's men that have got to step up.
00:52:53.080
I think the, the, the neat middle ground to cleave between that and also blaming all
00:52:59.060
women is to say on, in, in personal relationships and in politics and on either respective political
00:53:05.520
side, don't allow the anxieties of the most unhinged women to lead the conversation.
00:53:13.640
Whether that's the ones getting into altercations with ICE, because what they're trying to do
00:53:18.140
classically is, uh, is enforce Mary rules, um, via progressive orthodoxy, just being their,
00:53:25.100
their software code in this instance, whereas they forget that, well, women enforce the
00:53:30.040
rules, men enforce the boundaries in which the rules are made with violence.
00:53:36.080
And that's why you get, you know, the like Reddit soy boys on the side of the row shouting,
00:53:45.300
Um, whereas in the inverse, and this is, I hate like e-celeb drama stuff in the inverse,
00:53:52.180
you get the, the sudden defection of Ashley Sinclair to the left and denouncing the, the,
00:54:00.020
Um, and it's because, uh, clearly the, the people that are the least emotionally stable
00:54:07.540
and are out for soothing their own anxieties or aggrandizing themselves are very fickle in
00:54:14.700
And so you shouldn't in the, on, on the right, we shouldn't be so eager to bring women over
00:54:19.840
and find a proper place for women on the right during the, the sort of gender slop faction
00:54:25.420
wars where men are going traditional and women more progressive, especially in my country.
00:54:28.980
We shouldn't be so eager to have role models that lead a preference cascade for women towards
00:54:34.780
the right that you adopt people with the same temperament of the likes of Renee Good to
00:54:40.220
then come over and set the terms for how the right engage with the left.
00:54:43.760
So what, what it should be instead is saying no overall to civilizational shit tests imposed
00:54:54.040
Not all women, but there are emotionally incontinent and outspoken women and, and both Carl Benjamin
00:54:59.620
and Mary Harrington, a recent piece framed the, um, the sort of tick tocks that lots of women
00:55:06.160
do, uh, calling Trump a fascist and basically scaremongering about, you know, jackboots being
00:55:13.060
on the streets and kicking down the doors and kidnapping random families and this, these
00:55:17.560
altercations that these liberal female activists adding with ice as a kind of provocation for the
00:55:22.940
return of what they think of patriarchy is, which is male authority, which is basically
00:55:31.020
I am going to cause trouble until someone sets a boundary because my rules aren't keeping
00:55:36.600
And so what needs to happen broadly is yes, we need to enforce rules and those rules need
00:55:44.920
That's the proper place of women's is to enforce moral rules with children and other women,
00:55:50.440
And if we haven't set those boundaries on the right, if we haven't, as Curtis, your
00:55:53.840
other one said, um, got a plan to actually own the libs, like tell them what to do.
00:55:58.540
If we haven't figured out how to incorporate them yet, then as you said, we've got no one
00:56:03.340
Well, because women are going to follow the incentive structures that exist and then tighten
00:56:08.540
ranks around them versus men who, again, a man in a healthy condition is going to be
00:56:16.340
They are the ones that actually define what those incentive structures are.
00:56:19.220
So the question is, is it the women's fault for, again, just naturally following the incentive
00:56:30.460
Or is it the fault of the men who ultimately are the ones that determine what the incentive
00:56:34.220
structures are and what they are going to reward?
00:56:37.320
So men obviously being the ones defining the incentive structures that we've, as we've pointed
00:56:42.000
out, the question is the Trump response to Minneapolis.
00:56:45.880
This is something we've debated on IRL, here on TimCast.
00:56:49.820
I've made these arguments only at Morning Show.
00:56:51.920
There actually is a diverse set of opinions on exactly how the Trump administration has
00:56:56.800
Because we have to keep in mind, the entire thing that kicked off this entire fiasco in
00:57:00.640
Minneapolis was Nick Shirley walking around Minneapolis with a camera and pointing at the
00:57:05.380
most egregious, in-your-face forms of fraud you've ever seen in your entire life.
00:57:09.440
I made the point on the show last night, similar to the George Floyd riots, where if that guy
00:57:14.540
working the counter at that gas station would have just taken that $20 bill, we would have
00:57:21.160
If that person would have just spelled learning correctly on that sign, we probably, Renee
00:57:25.820
Good would be alive today just terrorizing her HOA board.
00:57:28.560
So we could have mitigated this entire situation if we just had a little more leeway from these
00:57:35.080
If Cousin Marriage hadn't made the entire Somali diaspora intergenerationally dyslexic,
00:57:40.980
there wouldn't be an interaction being fomented in Minnesota right now.
00:57:46.320
The most radicalizing thing I've ever seen was re-watching Jingle all the way over Christmas
00:58:00.220
I miss when Arnold Schwarzenegger was like the most diverse person you would ever encounter
00:58:07.280
The peak of race relations was Sinbad getting the action figure at the end of the movie for
00:58:12.380
his son while Arnold Schwarzenegger is like hoisted on the shoulders of a crowd championed
00:58:16.940
as the best dad in the world for being Turbo Man.
00:58:24.360
You know, a lot of people, especially Gen Xers, always perceive the 90s as peak of civilization,
00:58:30.840
but they also perceive 90s as the peak of race relations.
00:58:34.260
I mean, we had the LA riots and these sorts of things, but people generally felt like that
00:58:37.580
was the law and were white and black people kind of finally understood each other.
00:58:40.540
And the interesting thing is they understood their very different cultures, but they kind
00:58:51.100
But what people, I don't think they accurately prescribed what happened when it broke down
00:58:55.820
as part of it was, again, you just introduced a whole bunch of other groups into the country
00:59:07.640
And so suddenly, you know, white and black people couldn't focus their, like in the entire
00:59:12.120
media apparatus couldn't focus their bandwidth on race relations just between white and black
00:59:17.660
Well, suddenly we had like Asians in the mix and Indians, Mexicans, and it caused a lot
00:59:22.500
And so I think that actually could be maybe an outcome of mass migration is it actually
00:59:28.260
could in a way contribute to the sort of, I guess, decline or understanding between white
00:59:32.720
and black people that we're seeing again in the United States.
00:59:37.800
That's just a thesis that I come up with after hearing about your anecdote about Sinbad and
00:59:42.560
Arnold Schwarzenegger having this wholesome, chungus moment at the end of Jingle All
00:59:47.240
But yeah, it's when you watch these movies from the 90s, like the Home Alone movie, and
00:59:51.580
the house is this beautiful, like colonial style home.
00:59:54.960
And then you see the picture of what they've done to it now.
00:59:56.940
The millennials got their paws on it and they just like ripped out everything.
01:00:00.060
The banisters, they ripped out all the beautiful woodwork.
01:00:05.600
There's so much meat on the bone there of, again, going back to like the anxiety of people where
01:00:10.520
they need everything to be clean and they need everything to be as innocuous as possible
01:00:21.360
But back to the original question of the Trump administration's response to Minneapolis.
01:00:27.640
So this entire thing obviously starts over the most egregious trolley you've ever seen in
01:00:32.640
And Kirstie, you know him correctly, I would say, deploys 3,000 DHS agents to mop up the
01:00:38.320
Like, oh my gosh, we knew it was bad, but we didn't know it was like this bad.
01:00:42.500
Floods the place of DHS agents, causes protests, which is going to happen because leftists really
01:00:47.800
just are keen on replacing themselves because they have this suicidal tendency.
01:00:52.940
DHS floods the scene and then obviously this ice-involved shooting happens.
01:01:00.760
This is the question, is a lot of people on the right, I may get some flack for this,
01:01:05.060
but a lot of people on the right are clamoring for the Insurrection Act to be invoked.
01:01:12.600
But to steal man the Trump administration's position so far is once you play that card,
01:01:17.400
the Insurrection Act card, what you say to the left is anytime you guys get out of line,
01:01:21.940
we're just going to deploy the Trump card and we're just going to go all in and stamp
01:01:26.800
Which in this instance, after they're stealing firearms on the back of federal vehicles and
01:01:31.440
seizing documents like it's Slenderman, you know, they're collecting papers on the street.
01:01:35.180
There's something to be said about like, okay, maybe it is time to invoke the Insurrection
01:01:39.040
But to steal man the Trump administration is thinking so far, and Pat Casey outlined this
01:01:44.460
really well when he was on my show last Monday, that episode is up on the culture.
01:01:47.800
If we can mop this up with the three-letter agencies and force these left-wing governors
01:01:54.120
into line without using the Insurrection Act, that's a bigger victory than just going all
01:01:59.460
in, invoking the Insurrection Act and just stomping this out.
01:02:01.880
Because again, that's not going to necessarily teach them a lesson.
01:02:04.520
If anything, that might actually give them more ammo.
01:02:08.300
They can say, wow, if we get out of line, the government has to use the Insurrection Act.
01:02:11.840
There might be, this resistance might be more formidable than we initially perceived.
01:02:16.040
I don't know what your perception is, especially coming, you know, out looking from the outside
01:02:20.440
But for me, that line of thinking makes sense from the Trump administration, because that
01:02:26.900
If you pull the trigger on the Insurrection Act, then you're going to have to be prepared
01:02:30.820
to fight that metaphorical, hopefully, war on multiple fronts.
01:02:36.660
Like Chicago, California, they're going to throw their toys out the pram, and they're going
01:02:44.160
Pritzker is, yeah, he is eyeing up deploying Chicago's own National Guard to fight the federal
01:02:58.120
I mean, the wind conditions for Minnesota, I would assume, is the ridding of Congress of
01:03:04.960
Ilhan Omar and her denaturalization and deportation.
01:03:07.300
If you can't get that done within the next couple of years, there is going to be nothing
01:03:14.440
There's no political consequences for ethnically gerrymandering your state and seemingly breaking
01:03:21.600
the law on the immigration and asylum system, while also insulting the heritage and identity
01:03:28.240
of America and promising to use its government structure to redistribute funds to your ethnic
01:03:39.160
Preferably in the least comfortable plane with no window seat possible.
01:03:44.360
Tim Waltz needs to face consequences for this because he seems to be at the heart of the
01:03:50.020
He seems to have boasted about redistributing all these funds, these fake daycares, and these
01:03:58.760
And he has repeatedly suggested that a hot war could break out and he's prepared to deploy
01:04:11.280
And I understand that that might require going in with the Insurrection Act, so you need to
01:04:18.740
Because remember, everyone, he was nearly vice president.
01:04:29.460
And then what you want, ultimately, is the removal of pretty much every Somali from the
01:04:36.100
Like, the reason that Ayan Hussey Ali is a complete outlier is because Somalia doesn't
01:04:41.260
like Ayan Hussey Ali, and Minneapolis now looks like Somalia.
01:04:44.700
So it turns out that if you can judge this entire nation on the content of their character
01:04:47.780
and the diaspora, it turns out that the content of their character comes up wanting.
01:04:50.840
So, what people have to realize is, in order to actually accurately punish this mass, not
01:04:58.580
just financial, but probably immigration visa fraud network, it's going to look like collective
01:05:05.360
It's not actually going to be collective punishment if you conduct it properly, but it's going
01:05:11.820
And people need to steal their nerves for that, because this will own it.
01:05:17.620
It's going to be the same in the UK with Pakistanis, for example, after the grooming gang scandal.
01:05:22.340
This will only be the first sort of mass expulsion event in order to save the demographics and
01:05:28.280
We're not just talking about the economics here, because they're plumbering the treasury.
01:05:32.360
And the Trump administration also needs to prepare themselves for this, and this is going
01:05:37.800
But Nick Shirley hasn't been the only one investigating this.
01:05:43.500
Where he's going to a New York neighborhood, and it's a lot of Hasidic Jews who seem to
01:05:47.700
be brazenly ripping off the American taxpayer, with none of the men working, all of them having
01:05:56.780
And it's going to cause a headache for identity interest groups who are closer to the Trump
01:06:06.440
If there are large ethnic groups situated in American states who have countries of their
01:06:12.240
own, and instead are not contributing anything to the country, and are just taking money from
01:06:17.480
the hardworking American taxpayer who can't afford to have their own families, when they're
01:06:21.180
having disproportionately larger families and therefore playing into demographic replacement,
01:06:25.220
then the Trump administration needs to be ready to crack down on that, no matter the identity-based
01:06:29.400
political backlash that they're going to receive.
01:06:31.660
And my concern is that the administration doesn't currently have the competent personnel
01:06:41.000
I mean, your first point, Minnesota, I think the stakes are actually sky high here.
01:06:44.820
I think this sets the tone for the next three years, which is why you need to drag Tim Walts
01:06:51.660
That is the victory condition, Elon Omar, denaturalization, deportation.
01:06:57.340
And then, yeah, and your point of the Tyler Olivera video, something people don't want to
01:07:00.480
talk about, they don't want to touch, because again, it just, there's a lot of moving parts
01:07:06.520
But what you're describing, there's this town in Monroe, New York.
01:07:13.140
A group of fascetics from Brooklyn moved up there.
01:07:18.320
And they formed this little enclave in this, near this town or right next to this town of
01:07:23.520
But again, like you said, they have 12 kids a pop, so they're doubling their population every
01:07:27.180
Because they literally incorporated a town with the state of New York under like a town
01:07:31.760
charter, which hasn't happened in like 20, 30 years, formed this town called Curious
01:07:35.700
And if you ask anybody in upstate New York that lives in that area, they will tell you
01:07:43.680
Like you said, I mean, they have the, they have higher welfare participation rates in
01:07:47.480
Curious Joel than every Native American reservation in the United States.
01:07:50.460
And Native Americans famously are like on government subsidies and mass.
01:07:56.820
And this is going to cause problems because it's really complicated for Republicans because
01:07:59.720
Hasidics vote as a block and they've been voting for the Republican Party.
01:08:03.600
And obviously Trump really wants to see New York fall into the red column.
01:08:07.620
I think that probably every Republican would like to see that.
01:08:09.960
There's a lot of electoral college votes on the table there.
01:08:15.440
Because again, these Hasidic, these Hasidics that have moved there and have taken over this
01:08:19.740
town and really just ruined the lives for anyone that wanted to, again, live in Monroe going
01:08:27.100
Because it's like, you're going to potentially commit an act that would be extremely politically
01:08:33.200
inexpedient in the longterm in the state of New York.
01:08:36.360
But you have to do that because if you're going to advocate for Americans, then you have
01:08:43.120
I think we could probably get into that in another episode, but keep an eye, go watch the
01:08:50.100
But with that, I think we need to wind down the show.
01:08:57.900
Again, I'm not black, but I think 2026 is going to be a big year.
01:09:02.760
We have a lot of plans in the works for what we want to do with the show.
01:09:05.980
And this is, I think, the year for across the pond for Patriots globally.
01:09:10.420

We have a whole plethora of topics we want to get into with them.
01:09:44.260
He's one of those haiku Patriots that I've referenced in the past.
