00:00:00.000
We invite you to join us on the evening of November 5th for our US election coverage,
00:00:13.960
which is going to be an absolute banger. Being hardcore Trump supporters, and given all the
00:00:19.800
early indications, we're expecting a devastating landslide for Trump. And if somehow Kamala
00:00:25.360
wins, you can tune in to watch us have a live meltdown as we cope and seethe our way through
00:00:31.360
We'll be broadcasting on Rumble and Lotuses.com from midnight UK time on the Tuesday going
00:00:37.920
into Wednesday, which will be 7pm on the East Coast and 4pm on the West Coast.
00:00:43.400
Joining us in the studio will be a star-studded cast of guests, including Count Dankula, Academic
00:00:48.880
Agent, Roig Nationalist, Mr H Reviews, and many more. And many of our American friends will
00:00:54.100
be joining us via Zoom throughout the night. Subscriber comments and Rumble Rants will
00:00:58.860
appear on screen and be read out promptly. We will also have awesome election night merch,
00:01:04.220
which will only be available until the evening of the 5th, so grab it while it lasts. It's
00:01:10.260
going to be a blast, so make sure you're joining us, and we'll see you there.
00:01:13.980
Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotuses for Halloween, the 31st of October. Clearly
00:01:19.500
we have some ghosts in the machines that are making bad things happen. And yes, I am joined
00:01:30.620
Yeah, Samson told Bo what we were going to say and it ruined the fun of it.
00:01:38.260
He was going to be Agent 47, so he was going to be a suave and sophisticated, sneaky assassin.
00:01:47.980
Agent 47 is like dashing and handsome. Red Skull's a monster. He's monstrous.
00:01:54.980
Well, you suggested I say Nosferatu and I was just like, I can't do that to you. It's not
00:02:00.460
true. The allegations are false. Just don't bring garlic around, please. But anyway, we're
00:02:06.580
talking about Labour's new budget, Koreans hunting Johnny Somali for sport, and Harry's
00:02:14.460
talking about the neocon cycle. And we do have an announcement. Someone sent us in a
00:02:18.520
book. It's The Achievements of Kamala Harris. And this is very interesting.
00:02:24.500
It's not a particularly weighty tome, I noticed.
00:02:26.460
No. For example, you look at Immigration, a very gripping chapter. It's empty. There's
00:02:38.000
Yeah, I must say, I think that Michael Knowles did that joke first.
00:02:43.080
He did Reasons to Vote Democrat and it was an empty book.
00:02:46.340
Makes for a good notebook, though. No one will ever pick it up and want to read it. So,
00:02:49.680
you know, if you're writing in secrets, you know, very good diary. Something like that
00:02:54.320
would work. But I think Samson's just adjusting the camera. So I'm just going to wait for that
00:03:00.120
He's making sure people have a worse shot of me. He's putting me out of focus. I was scaring
00:03:05.940
Yeah, and not even when you're dressed like that.
00:03:15.820
But you've come, you've got the button undone. We're Thai Nazis now. And so you've chosen
00:03:24.880
Which is easily the most frightening thing on this panel.
00:03:27.500
I've come to unleash infinite immigration on you, which is really the scariest thing
00:03:32.120
of all. And speaking of which, are you ready to take us away, Bo?
00:03:37.360
Yeah, okay. So it might not be all that big news for our US audience or people from further
00:03:42.280
afield. But in Britain, we had a budget yesterday. So that's big news. It's sort of something
00:03:45.560
we're obliged to cover being in the UK. So just going to talk a bit about the budget
00:03:50.140
that happened. I don't want to go into actually fantastic amounts of detail just because it
00:03:54.780
is a bit dry. You know, like raise a twiddle with a half a percent here or there or a penny
00:04:00.220
more or less on certain things. But just to talk about the general, our general economy
00:04:06.180
and the government and all that sort of thing. So our Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel
00:04:11.500
Reeves is a stupid person. I think a lot of Americans and Brits are familiar with that,
00:04:19.160
having a very, very senior politicians, you know, like Kamala or Joe, being sort of undeniably
00:04:26.000
slow people, you know, not towering intellects or not even close. Right. And she's, unfortunately,
00:04:34.320
she's one of those. She's a judge of our economy. She's also just a PPE or politics, philosophy
00:04:39.900
and economics graduate. I don't think that is enough qualification to run the economy.
00:04:45.620
Not that a politician should do that anyway, in my opinion.
00:04:49.340
Yeah, she's just a pick, a party favourite. They obviously wanted to put a woman in that
00:04:54.180
role. I think, is she the first ever female Chancellor of the Exchequer? I think she might be.
00:04:58.140
Yes, she took great delight in saying that. And it's also worth mentioning as well, that
00:05:02.460
there was a recent sort of scandal, if you will, where she replaced a portrait in her
00:05:07.060
office with the female leader of the Communist Party. Is that right?
00:05:11.700
I don't think she was the leader, but she was in it.
00:05:15.080
I think, wasn't she also a member of the Eugenics Society back in the day?
00:05:19.720
Ed Dutton was very excited about this. He thought he confirmed all of his theories of
00:05:27.520
A woman called Ellen Wilkinson, who was in the government in the 30s and during the war,
00:05:33.300
in the 20s, out of favour, I think, during the 30s, and during the Churchill administration.
00:05:39.100
And yeah, she was just an out and out socialist. She definitely was a member of the British Communist
00:05:44.140
Party, completely unapologetically as well, you know, supported the great strike of the
00:05:54.360
So, when Rachel Reeves got into power, she changed one of the, one of the portraits in
00:06:02.320
11 Downing Street, that's where our Chancellor of the Exchequer lives, with a picture of red
00:06:06.760
Ellen. It sort of speaks volumes, doesn't it? It tells you everything you need to know about
00:06:10.380
this person. She just lionises some commie woman from way back when.
00:06:14.480
To be fair, though, to go back onto Dutton's theories for a moment, perhaps by crashing
00:06:18.920
the economy with this budget, they are hoping to kill off the bottom 10% of useless eaters
00:06:24.960
in this country. So, perhaps there is a eugenics element to this.
00:06:29.040
Yeah, it was one of the things Mao said when he was told that, after being told for a long
00:06:33.260
time there weren't any famines during the Great Leap Forward, being told actually there is
00:06:36.940
widespread famine and probably hundreds of thousands, maybe millions, it turned out to
00:06:41.900
be unknown millions, are dying. And he just said, oh, well, we've got 10 fingers. If you cut off
00:06:46.680
one finger, you're still all right, aren't you? You've still got nine fingers left.
00:06:49.120
That's a rational and reasonable way of looking at things. Moral as well.
00:06:53.580
You wouldn't be able to play guitar after that, would you?
00:06:56.240
Well, if you take off the pinky finger of your picking hand, you should be all right.
00:07:02.760
Certainly. Anyway, so, we've got just an out-and-out communist, if not communist, sympathiser
00:07:08.880
running our economy. And she's decided that they're going to increase tax to the tune of
00:07:14.120
40 billion. That's the takeaway headline, is that they're just going to tax us harder.
00:07:19.380
We're already a poor country. I remember Callum, in June his last weeks, did a bit.
00:07:24.200
A segment all about just how rich we are in real terms compared to how rich we used to
00:07:28.540
be, and compared to other sort of big, supposed to be industrial economies, advanced economies,
00:07:35.160
you know, like the United States, France, Germany, Japan, whatever. And we're like, we're super
00:07:39.080
poor. We've got really low wages, low productivity. That is what our economy is. And we've been rinsed,
00:07:47.340
we have been rinsed by taxes pretty hard in the last generation or two, and they're just
00:07:52.860
going to raise them more to the tune of 40 billion. And we know it's largely to support
00:07:57.820
to build houses and to support the people that have invaded us illegally and legally.
00:08:02.780
I think before the Labour government came in, it was about 45% of all money went via the
00:08:10.960
government. I wonder how much more, you know, we're halfway to full communism.
00:08:15.560
So looking into it, this budget, about a little over half of that, I would assume £22 billion
00:08:22.260
is going straight to health and social care. So that will immediately be eaten up by the
00:08:26.840
useless NHS, which as well has a budget increase up to £181.4 billion this year.
00:08:37.540
So it's all going to go to the people at the top, of course, because they're the ones
00:08:41.060
that hoover up a lot of the money. And it's not going to go towards, oh, yeah, we're just
00:08:44.520
going to spend this on hiring doctors. It's not going to happen, is it? It's going to disappear
00:08:50.300
Yeah. So the thing is, I mean, I've got some libertarian leanings. That's about as far as
00:08:57.140
I would say I've got some sympathies with some libertarian ideas. But I am a statist. I'm not
00:09:03.200
a complete, nowhere near really a complete libertarian.
00:09:05.620
However, I do think that nearly all taxes, I'll say this, nearly all taxes are state-sponsored
00:09:12.880
Nearly all. I mean, if there was none, I think it's very difficult to imagine a world where
00:09:17.380
there's truly no state. Anyway, some hardline libertarians would be going crazy.
00:09:23.100
Yeah, right. Yeah. Anyway. Anyways, let's not go down that rabbit hole. But I would say taxing
00:09:28.020
people more than a few percent on things is crazy. Let alone having, you know, income tax
00:09:34.600
of 23, 25, 40 percent, these sorts of numbers. That's crazy. That's crazy. People have never
00:09:43.040
Well, who is most of that tax going to support? I used the phrase useless eaters a moment ago,
00:09:48.480
but I think the vast majority of the useless eaters in British society are the jobs with bureaucrats
00:09:55.380
that make up Whitehall. So a lot of this money will be going to funding them acting as fifth
00:10:00.940
columnists, treasonous traitors, destroying the country.
00:10:05.780
Yeah. Billions and billions going straight to foreign countries, billions and billions
00:10:12.760
Didn't they announce also that there was going to be a new commitment to funding Ukraine that
00:10:16.920
was going to go on as long as possible? Yeah. As long as it takes. As long as it takes.
00:10:22.260
Which is the lion that has come out of the State Department and the Pentagon and that we're now
00:10:27.020
saying and giving all our money to. Okay, fine. Great. So, okay. A lot of it is tinkering around,
00:10:33.320
the Blairite sort of tinkering around, Brownite tinkering around with things. There's nothing,
00:10:38.780
you know, fantastically giant where they're going to sort of rework the nature of the economy and
00:10:43.220
stuff, perhaps with the exception of green policies. So, for example, just freezes on quite a lot of
00:10:50.120
things. You know, tinkering a little bit with capital gains tax. Of course, it's worth mentioning
00:10:56.640
as well that the freeze is still significant because of inflation being record levels, more or
00:11:03.820
less, very, very high inflation. That by freezing it, it's still effectively increasing tax, even though
00:11:10.960
the threshold has stayed the same because you need more money. Great point. I must tip my fedora ever
00:11:16.900
so slightly. Sorry to do this. That's all right. Not really anywhere near record levels. But still,
00:11:22.620
but still, nonetheless. Record levels in my lifetime, should I say. Right, okay. The only reason I even do
00:11:27.480
that is because there will be people in the comments saying, oh, somewhere near record levels.
00:11:32.820
But anyway, so. I appreciate a fedora tip, don't worry. But still, yeah, inflation is pretty bad.
00:11:39.240
And I always find it annoying in recent years when they seem to be bragging that it's come down from
00:11:46.260
six or seven percent. It's only two percent now or something. It's only three percent. There shouldn't
00:11:50.500
be any. Oh, yeah. Oh, it's only getting worse. It's only getting worse a bit more slowly. Oh,
00:11:55.220
okay. It's like, I've only filled up your house two percent of the way with excrement.
00:12:00.540
Yeah. Oh, well, that's very charitable of you. Thank you.
00:12:04.440
Yeah. You're going to drown ever so slightly more slowly now. Great. Okay. So what were some
00:12:12.260
of the things? Yeah, again, I don't want to bore people with like one pee off of booze.
00:12:16.640
That was actually quite interesting because they're just like, one good thing, we've knocked a penny
00:12:21.600
off of a pint in pubs. And of course, all of the additional taxes mean it's still going to be
00:12:25.820
more expensive anyway. There was an incredibly condescending poster that came with that that
00:12:31.100
said, we've knocked one pence off of pints at pubs. This means your pints will be big, bold letters.
00:12:37.220
Cheaper. But it was one pence. Yeah. So how many pints do you have to sink before you've made a
00:12:42.940
saving of another pint? Somebody calculated something like six thousand, six hundred to six thousand.
00:12:48.900
I'm willing to try. And they, I mean, and you go to, in Britain, if anyone's actually
00:12:54.880
lives in Britain and knows and ever goes out for a drink, the amount you're charged for a drink in
00:12:59.920
a pub wildly variates from place to place. Wildly. You go into London and you can easily pay six,
00:13:07.240
seven, eight, nine pounds for a pint or a rum and coke or something. You come out to sort of rural
00:13:12.780
Wiltshire in this like 50p. Not quite. That's an exaggeration. But it's like, there's nowhere near
00:13:18.760
that. Yeah, I know. I know. But still, like, you don't get much change out of a tenner for a drink
00:13:23.660
in London and you can buy three drinks for that here. Right. So I think one of the most notable
00:13:28.380
things. The state taking one p less is just, it's nothing. Sorry, Harry. That's about almost
00:13:34.820
twelve dollars for a nine pound pint, by the way, if you're American. Sorry. I was going to say the thing
00:13:40.040
that I've noticed so far looking at all of the information that's on the screen for us
00:13:43.320
is that everything's going up. Frozen or going up. Either frozen or going up or discounts being
00:13:51.760
reduced to a lower discount. So that's the primary takeaway is that things will get more expensive
00:13:57.100
because the government is either taking more or giving you less of a discount. There's just loads
00:14:03.180
of things here which are just unpopular with the vast majority of people. I mean, for example,
00:14:08.760
they're committed to the HS2 thing. What use is that going to be if no one can afford
00:14:16.200
to take it? High speed rail that no one can afford. Rail prices in this country are absolutely
00:14:22.380
ridiculous. Well, that's another thing. They said that's going up. The cap on buses is going
00:14:27.160
up and the amount that you're actually being charged for fares is going up. Let's be honest,
00:14:31.680
gentlemen. If this country was actually dedicated to try and reducing carbon emissions, it would
00:14:37.720
do anything that it can to make public transport, that being mass services of transport where you
00:14:43.800
don't have to each individually take a car, you can all just pack into a train and get the train at
00:14:47.480
the same time, better run and cheaper. Because if you've got less cars on the road, that's less
00:14:53.860
emissions out in the air. That's not what they do. They go out of their way to make it more expensive
00:14:59.200
and less attainable for people to just get the train. It shouldn't cost over £100 to get the train
00:15:06.300
from the north of England to London. No, it shouldn't. No, it shouldn't cost £50. It should
00:15:12.340
cost a tenner. Do you know that even now, the train from Swindon to London, which is sometimes 50
00:15:20.360
minutes, costs up to £60 if you're getting a return ticket, which is just ridiculous.
00:15:26.040
Well, the other day or a couple of weeks ago, I went to Nottingham from Swindon. Not very far. Is
00:15:31.320
that 100 miles? Is that even less than that? It's around the Midlands. Something in that ballpark.
00:15:36.000
So from the West Country to the Midlands, return £136. It's ridiculous. You could actually fly to
00:15:43.080
Istanbul and back for that and have money left over. Well, you can fly to Scotland sometimes from the
00:15:49.600
south to like Edinburgh or Glasgow for £20 sometimes. I did see a story the other day. This girl
00:15:55.340
flew to, I think it was Mallorca or Barcelona. She wanted to go from somewhere in the south,
00:16:00.560
somewhere in the north of England. And it was cheaper to fly to the Mediterranean and back.
00:16:11.820
Yeah, probably actually enjoyed it. Yeah. Probably didn't have to put up with like rugby
00:16:18.160
Okay, yeah. So one of the things that struck me is sort of zooming out a bit, broadly speaking,
00:16:23.680
is that there is some ideology, a fair bit of ideology in this. The idea that commies and leftists
00:16:28.660
just really, really resent successful or rich people. I don't want to go to bat for the super
00:16:33.620
wealthy, particularly. I'm a working class lad.
00:16:37.800
But I'm not ideologically in favour of just, of just trying to hurt rich people. Because they bring
00:16:44.160
in, they bring in, if they own businesses and things, they bring in jobs and they make the
00:16:48.340
economy go round and all sorts of things. But yeah, there's the idea that doing away with the
00:16:51.600
nom-dom status quo. So in other words, just really rich people would be less likely to want to
00:16:57.880
live here or have a house here. Stuff on private jets. I mean, there's very few private jets,
00:17:03.800
but still they're attacking them anyway. Private schools.
00:17:08.120
That was particularly nasty. Because if you've got lots of money, about the most responsible
00:17:12.180
way you could possibly spend that money is making sure that your children have a good education.
00:17:17.800
And I think that you should be able to pay for better service. I think that's perfectly
00:17:22.900
reasonable. And dragging down rich people's children to the level of state school, I don't
00:17:30.340
The whole point of communism, socialism, progressivism is flattening of all standards to the lowest
00:17:37.720
So on private schools, they're going to lose their business rate relief and will pay 20%
00:17:42.920
VAT, value added tax, on their fees as of next year. I've always thought that the attack,
00:17:49.400
some things that the left do, or the Labour Party in Britain, the attack on hereditary peerage,
00:17:54.200
the attack on private schools, these things are something I have never and will never benefit
00:17:59.400
it from. And yet I've always found it just pure resentment. It's just pure resentment.
00:18:05.720
If you were seething with envy, the idea that other people are born into more successful
00:18:11.400
families than you are, then you would take this as a win, even if it doesn't materially
00:18:15.840
benefit you, or in fact potentially makes you worse off in some way. At least in terms
00:18:20.660
of the state of the governance of the country, it affects all of us one way or another.
00:18:24.560
And everything that these people do, I think should be qualified by the fact that I don't
00:18:29.580
believe that the Labour government that we are run by have souls. Keir Starmer is not
00:18:34.620
a man with an internal life. He does not have a soul. He does not read or enjoy books. He
00:18:39.240
does not listen to or enjoy music. He does not have a favourite film. This man has no interests
00:18:45.020
outside of managerial bureaucratic head counting.
00:18:50.040
And our private schools, what we call public schools, which is confusing to everyone else
00:18:53.880
who isn't British, our private schools, let's call them, at least used to be the envy of the
00:18:59.020
world. If he was a super rich, if he was a Sultan of Brunei and you could send one of your kids
00:19:02.940
to Harrow or Eton, you would because you're guaranteed an absolutely first class education.
00:19:08.560
They just, Labour just hate that, hate it. So anyway, minimum wage. So a lot of it is
00:19:14.820
politics. No wonder she put a commie, a card carrying commie on her wall. I mean, raising
00:19:20.520
minimum wage. I mean, this is, everyone knows that that's not a great idea. It just hurt.
00:19:27.220
Well, anyway, anyway, there's loads and loads of examples of where it's just weird and they're
00:19:31.700
just ringing money. It's just commies ringing money out of us whilst collapsing us at the same
00:19:36.500
time. Raising minimum wage when you're raising everything else is just an arms race. That's
00:19:41.160
all it is. We raise taxes, so we raise minimum wage and then we're paying too much for the
00:19:45.560
people's minimum wages. So we need to raise the taxes and it all just ends up collapsing
00:19:49.400
middle and small businesses. It's like having a giant welfare state and open borders. Those
00:19:54.100
two things together are disastrous, obviously disastrous. So yeah, I mean, and so, okay. Yeah,
00:20:02.780
we're still going to give loads of money directly to just foreign countries just for the sake
00:20:05.820
of it just because of white guilt or something. I don't know what. Yeah, there's lots and
00:20:12.320
lots of, there's lots there, but I suppose a lot of it is kind of boring. And I suppose
00:20:15.880
the main thing to say, there was actually quite a good article I saw on Unheard.
00:20:20.540
Oh, listen, look at this one at the bottom. Rachel Reeve will also raise the windfall tax
00:20:24.840
on North Sea oil and gas producers from 35 to 38%.
00:20:31.900
Because they also hate energy. They also want to spend any wealth we've got left on sort
00:20:36.360
of wind farms and things that don't really work because Ed Miller banned.
00:20:39.660
It's not just that it'll make it more expensive for the consumer. It'll make it less desirable
00:20:46.860
Also, it has a knock on effect to all other industry as well, because all industries use
00:20:53.600
I want to talk briefly, if I can quickly, about an article that was in Unheard of all
00:21:01.320
places, but I thought there's a few good lines in it. And again, it's just sort of the more
00:21:06.120
zoomed out, broader view of our economy. It's actually really quite bad. It's actually quite
00:21:12.580
bad. So they said, Britain's cloud of misery assumes concrete form in provincial high streets
00:21:18.460
of unmitigated gloom, whose shuttered shops are punctuated by vape outlets, phone repairers
00:21:28.920
They've been reading my tweets, whoever wrote this.
00:21:31.580
Whose dubious legality are left unexamined by a state, desperate for whatever revenue
00:21:37.400
it can take. Indeed, even Oxford Street is now just another dismal provincial high street.
00:21:41.920
Our ruling class's economic model is one so committed to low-wage employment over investment
00:21:47.120
the Conservative government imported almost 4% of the country's population in the last
00:21:52.000
two years just to man checkout tools and deliver food on bicycles, juicing gross GDP figures
00:21:58.740
from what has aptly been termed human quantitative easing. I've not heard that before, but I
00:22:04.060
I've heard that. I've banded around a few times, yeah.
00:22:06.300
Even as the resulting exactions on housing, infrastructure and societal stability fray what is left of Britain's
00:22:13.280
social contract. The very social contract is falling apart, where people are saying, what?
00:22:18.160
The state is just robbing us and replacing us. Well, you know, it's sort of at that level.
00:22:25.900
A bit further down they said this, overburdened with unaffordable commitments, with a declining tax base,
00:22:32.160
the British state lurches from crisis to crisis, getting weaker, poorer and less capable at every turn.
00:22:36.900
This, by the way, the very definition of societal collapse. The economic situation is so dire that
00:22:42.100
tinkering with tax rates offers no meaningful solution. British politicians should instead
00:22:47.420
think of the country in explicitly developmentalist terms, recreating the essential infrastructure,
00:22:53.740
transport links, low-cost energy, the manufacture of basic goods like primary steel. We haven't
00:22:57.600
really got a steel industry anymore, barely. Necessary to permit a functioning first world economy
00:23:03.480
some decades to come. They mentioned also that as much as 43% of people in this country don't pay
00:23:12.480
any income tax because they don't earn enough. There's a threshold. I can't remember exactly what
00:23:16.800
the threshold is. Last I remember it was £12,500. I think it was raised recently. I might be
00:23:23.140
misremembering. So if you earn less than that, you don't have to pay any income tax. And that's 43%
00:23:28.140
of the working people. And if you're here illegally and it's taking money, cash in hand that you don't
00:23:32.940
declare, well then you're not paying any tax on that either, are you? You run a barber's where
00:23:36.600
there's never any customers in there. So it was raised... But own a first-class brilliant
00:23:41.640
Mercedes. Sorry, go on. It was raised to £12,570. Oh, it bumped up £70. Cheers. You're welcome.
00:23:50.280
Yeah. I didn't do it. I wasn't saying cheers to you, but you are Tony Blair today. So I will still
00:23:54.660
blame all of this on you. And in that unheard article, they end by sort of making the point that
00:23:59.280
the state itself is losing legitimacy. I mean, look at the... Look at Rachel. Look at how smug she is.
00:24:04.940
Oh, that's such an annoying... I'm Chancellor of the Exchequer. I'm... I'm rearranging the deck
00:24:09.520
chairs on the Titanic, sort of a... What a moron. She's a moron. If anyone's ever heard her speak.
00:24:19.980
Yeah. Yeah. An idiot girl boss that thinks she's something special. It's mad. And the last few links,
00:24:27.660
if you could... Actually, if I leave it to you, Samson, if you flash up a few of the links, um,
00:24:35.340
Yeah, it's a dodgy bar in it. It's bad for a bald guy to call other people out on their haircut, but that's a...
00:24:42.480
Um, so, yeah, um, what was it? The BBC said, oh, all working people are getting hit hard by this.
00:24:48.720
Sky News said, all middle earners are being hit hard by this. The Financial Times said,
00:24:53.600
all businesses and wealthy people bear the brunt of this. Um, no one's, no one's happy with it.
00:25:01.600
I mean, it just seems that Starmer's government, from every possible angle of attack,
00:25:08.640
is just destroying our country as quickly as possible.
00:25:11.040
That really is what it feels like, living here.
00:25:12.880
And it's important to point out that yesterday I covered the news that came out regarding
00:25:17.920
Axel Rudikopana, the Southport killer, as well. And it does seem that, along with that being timed
00:25:22.960
to make sure it avoided the Tommy Robinson rally over the weekend, um, that it seems to have been
00:25:28.960
timed to coincide with this budget announcement as well. And I can only think that the government,
00:25:33.680
if they were trying to act pragmatically, were hoping that if they release two infuriating bits
00:25:39.680
of news at the exact same time, that somehow the anger for both of them would be dispersed
00:25:44.640
and cancel each other out, because people would be too unfocused to be angry about both at the same
00:25:49.280
time. No, that was a complete mistake. Everybody's furious about everything that you have done.
00:25:54.400
Everybody involved in this government needs to step down, they need to resign, then they need to hand
00:26:00.400
themselves in for conviction of treason charges.
00:26:04.640
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, rebel, rebel, yeah.
00:26:07.680
Yeah. As much as I would like for that to be the case, and I think that morally that's, uh, that
00:26:12.560
would be the best thing for them to do. And then, you know, their ultimate judgment could be found by
00:26:16.720
God. Um, that's not what they're going to do. They're going to continue trying to destroy our
00:26:21.040
country as rapidly as possible. Okay. That's it. I think that's it. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Fair enough.
00:26:29.360
But who's to say, I can't top that. Yeah, I can't top that. Yeah, yeah. He said it all.
00:26:33.200
Oh, Jesus Christ. So anyway, this is... That's a jump scare.
00:26:37.120
This is Johnny Somali. Um, it's Halloween, so I wanted to show you something scary.
00:26:42.240
And it is scary, because wherever he goes, he brings misery. And, uh...
00:26:48.240
His real name is Ramzi Khalid Ismail, by the way. Strong chin. Yeah, he's, uh...
00:26:54.720
He has very, very Somalian physiognomy. Interesting looking fella, isn't he?
00:26:59.520
There is the meme of, how could you tell I was Somalian?
00:27:02.560
Samson, were you zooming into his head? Don't do that. It's close enough.
00:27:07.280
Imagine this just appearing in your country. Well, um, for the Koreans, they don't have to imagine,
00:27:12.960
because he has turned up. But first, um, if you want to keep Johnny Somali away from
00:27:18.160
your country, well, you need to help Lotus Eaters out, because we have merch. And of course,
00:27:24.000
we don't want Johnny Somali in your country, because he's not a very nice guy. And what you need
00:27:28.720
is things like this. You want this t-shirt, don't you? This gives 100% protection against Johnny Somali.
00:27:38.480
It's not been proven, we've not consulted any experts, but we've got a general vibe that it might work.
00:27:43.280
So like an RPG clothing, it gives you stat boosts?
00:27:49.440
This is not proven, this is not scientific advice. Um, this is just our random hearsay.
00:27:55.200
But we have election merch here. Um, we've also got mugs, we've got some posters, we've got some stuff.
00:28:00.560
We've also got the Islander stuff. This is all, um, here for a limited time, and then we'll take
00:28:05.200
it down and add some new stuff. But get it while you can if you like any of it. I really like the t-shirt,
00:28:09.600
the Trump grilling t-shirt. It's great. I think that that's a good bit of memorabilia to have,
00:28:14.960
to remember this wonderful time. Um, but anyway, we need your support because, uh,
00:28:20.400
we're fighting the good fight. Keeping Johnny Somali out is a full-time job and we need it.
00:28:25.440
We don't get paid from YouTube. But anyway, um, he went to Japan and he had a lot of controversy.
00:28:32.640
Um, I'm gonna, oh, we, we have, uh, some weirdness going on. So he went to Japan. Um, he was basically
00:28:40.240
filmed walking around Tokyo Disneyland shouting, Fukushima, atomic bomb, Shinzo Abe. So, uh, not
00:28:47.840
being a good guest, I think it's safe to say. He was filmed on a train telling Japanese people,
00:28:52.960
we're going to drop another atomic bomb. I know, yeah. Really? Yeah, I remember all of this now.
00:28:59.920
Mm-hmm. And, uh, here he is. He was confronted by a number of people on his streams, but that was
00:29:07.520
clearly the point. He wanted to be as much of an annoying prick in public so that he would get
00:29:13.600
those negative reactions to generate clicks. Yeah, he's, he's hunting for views, basically.
00:29:21.760
He, he was facing three years in prison in Japan for all of his antics. Um, but clearly that's not
00:29:28.400
happened because he's elsewhere. Um... He's decided you're somebody else's problem now.
00:29:33.440
Yeah, it seems like it. Um, here it is. He was also playing loud music in a nice Japanese restaurant,
00:29:39.600
and he was ordered to pay a 1,400 US dollar fine. Um, and he's, he apologized and said,
00:29:47.200
I promise I'll never take videos again. Well, that was a lie.
00:29:50.400
It shows how much that promise is worth. Um, so, uh, it's also worth mentioning as well.
00:29:56.320
Trust the word of Johnny Somali. My faith is gone.
00:30:00.240
He threatened to sue, to sue, um, the YouTuber PewDiePie for saying he ruined Japan,
00:30:07.520
which, I mean, who in their right mind is going to say, well, you know, this, this is libelous.
00:30:14.080
You were kicked, you were kicked out of Japan, you were fined, and, uh, everyone hates you there now.
00:30:19.840
The interesting thing with this is as well that PewDiePie lives in Japan and moved there from,
00:30:25.440
I think he was living in Brighton before in England. That's right.
00:30:28.080
And he's made it clear, and I think there has been a bit of nudge, nudge, wink, wink with this,
00:30:32.560
that he moved to Japan explicitly so that he could get away with a lot of the things that are going
00:30:37.440
wrong with the West at the moment. He wanted to move somewhere that was orderly and peaceful,
00:30:42.640
where people were polite and respected one another. So he doesn't want to see this kind of thing
00:30:47.120
come to Japan either. And this is a whole phenomenon, unfortunately, whereby you have
00:30:52.160
these annoying people that are trying to get internet famous, uh, and they're going to countries
00:30:56.960
and just being really, um, I don't know how to say it. Obnoxious. Obnoxious is the right word, yeah.
00:31:04.640
Deliberately obnoxious to be a bad guest. Yes, nuisances as, as Samson says. And I think that he's
00:31:11.040
been described as one. And it's got to such a point that even the BBC has articles about him
00:31:17.680
in Somali, because of course they do. Have we got any BBC Pigeon on Johnny Somali?
00:31:24.320
But look, this is basically Pigeon anyway, look at it. Go back up to the top, what does it,
00:31:30.000
how does it say YouTube in Somali? I don't think it has it in the title. Go back down to the first
00:31:35.520
paragraph. Okay. Oh no, that's YouTube Ka. Okay. I was hoping it'd be funny.
00:31:40.480
Why kuma Johnny Somali? I don't know. I sound like Jar Jar Binks. I think that's, I think Josh may
00:31:47.680
have just broken a number of hate speech laws in this country. That's not, I'm just reading it.
00:31:52.720
Well still, if you were to draw an accurate picture of Johnny Somali, you'd be breaking hate speech laws.
00:32:03.120
So anyway, he's in Korea, and he's already being obnoxious. So this statue here, to give
00:32:09.360
you a bit of background, is a girl symbolizing the victims of Japan's wartime sexual slavery
00:32:14.880
in Korea. And it's a comfort woman, so to speak. And he was there filming it. I've deliberately,
00:32:21.840
I'm deliberately playing these without any sound, because I don't hate you that much, okay?
00:32:26.560
You're welcome, Harry. But here he is, just being obnoxious. And what got people particularly
00:32:34.880
upset, well, I'm not going to play this for so much longer, but the thing goes on. And I thought
00:32:41.440
this was funny. This is a Korean outlet. It's asking for permission. Yeah. Go away. I don't want
00:32:49.200
notifications. Get out of the way. Yeah. This is a Korean publication. YouTuber Johnny Somali gets
00:32:55.120
decked after disrespecting comfort woman statue, and he kissed her on the cheek. Of course he's a
00:32:59.840
creeper. Which is one of the least sensitive things you could possibly do. Yeah, it's unbelievable.
00:33:07.280
Well, it's just inappropriate. It's obnoxious. It's disrespectful, and willfully so. You're doing
00:33:12.080
it on camera. You're doing it for an audience of however so many people. Obviously the point is,
00:33:17.520
I'm going to insult your culture for fun. No country should accept that. No country should respect
00:33:23.040
that. The second that you show that you're willingly doing that for internet views, you should be banned
00:33:28.240
from the country. Yeah, and what kind of people watch that sort of thing as well? It's young children
00:33:32.960
that don't know any better, and it's a bad influence on them. And very low IQ people. Yeah,
00:33:38.720
what a disgusting freak. Tell us how you really feel, Bo. Where's he? Because I don't know anything
00:33:45.680
about this Mr. Somali. Is he British or is he American? He's American. Right, okay. He's a new
00:33:53.840
American, like those Ohaians. He's obviously a Somali American. Right, he's from America, okay.
00:34:01.360
So he's also done some other things. Here he is. This one was particularly obnoxious. So he's
00:34:05.760
he's playing loud music in a shop because they have shops and counters. And he's got a speaker
00:34:14.000
there playing really loud stuff. And you see he's making a face because he also has this thing where
00:34:19.040
he connects the speaker to the stream and people on the stream can play things out of the speaker. And
00:34:23.600
of course, you know how that goes. And the lady in the store is basically telling him off,
00:34:30.240
telling him to behave himself. And he's just rude. We'll see in a second. I'm not going to play the
00:34:37.680
sound because it's really, really annoying. But he's got noodles here. He's drinking alcohol. He's
00:34:43.360
basically drunk. Oh, and look, the second that she's got her back turned, he starts playing the
00:34:48.800
tough guy. Yeah. Look at this kind of stuff. When does he get decked? Yeah, do we get to see the
00:34:56.000
the footage? Do we get the footage of him being decked? Do we get to see him get his comeuppance?
00:35:01.120
Eventually. Because otherwise this is unnecessarily... Patience. Patience. Don't worry, there is a happy ending to this.
00:35:06.000
This is an animal of a person. Yeah. This is an animal. This is uncivilisational behaviour.
00:35:11.120
You can dress him up in a jacket, but you can't expect him to behave in society.
00:35:15.440
And they're pointing at him to basically clean it up because he's made a mess.
00:35:19.760
But you get the idea. He's also in a hotel and he's filming and being loud and obnoxious and playing
00:35:27.200
music and things like that. And then the hotel staff, I think, or the security guards come and
00:35:33.120
sort him out eventually. But he just starts screaming. I'm not playing it, of course, because
00:35:41.200
I bet you've never been so grateful that I've gone through and made sure all of these are muted.
00:35:45.600
Well, Samson has anyway. But yeah, they eventually tackle him down.
00:35:52.880
And they're basically just saying, don't do that. It's rude.
00:36:00.160
They should confiscate his phone as well, because obviously this kind of behaviour is being encouraged
00:36:05.040
by him streaming online and he needs his phone for that. So, okay, you go, if this is what's causing
00:36:10.880
you to behave like this or making it worse. No, you don't get it. You need to treat these people
00:36:17.040
Well, yeah, he has obviously got the mind of a small child, an obnoxious small child.
00:36:21.920
It's particularly egregious in places like Japan or South Korea, because they're much more polite
00:36:26.720
than even we are. Much more polite. My sister told me a story of once she was on a train in Japan.
00:36:32.640
She was talking to her husband, just at a normal volume, just sitting next to him and talking to him.
00:36:37.120
And people shushed her. When you're in public like that, you stay completely quiet.
00:36:43.440
I mean, this is what England used to be like. This is what England used to be like.
00:36:48.320
You know, it's still the case in some pockets. People have that attitude.
00:36:53.040
I know when I get the train, basically, I get the train from Swindon to go back down to Devon.
00:36:58.720
And once you get past Bristol, all the detritus gets off. And it's just nice people.
00:37:05.120
And everything's far more civilised. People are polite. Quite often, there'll be an old lady
00:37:10.320
that'll sit next to me and have a chat on the way. And everyone's really pleasant. You know,
00:37:15.040
you have a nice quiet volume if you're having a conversation. Or people are respectful.
00:37:19.760
Normally, you know, you get a phone call, you go into the lobby or don't take it at all.
00:37:22.880
That's how people behave. So anyway, speaking of which, here he is in a line full of people,
00:37:28.800
and he's just playing loud noises, being really obnoxious. One of which is just random monkey
00:37:33.840
noises, which makes people jump. Because if you suddenly start hearing monkey noises,
00:37:39.680
which is quite funny, really, in a sort of negative perception kind of way.
00:37:44.000
Look at how they're looking at him. They're like, what is wrong with you?
00:37:50.320
I hope if I click this, it doesn't play sound. So I'm giving you a brief warning. I hope it doesn't.
00:37:59.280
Okay. Clearly he's getting told. Oh, thank you, Samson. You are, you are a hero.
00:38:04.080
He's clearly playing into this perception though.
00:38:06.400
She's like translating it to him, just saying like, no, don't do this.
00:38:09.360
Because the act that I can see on the screen, if this came from his stream, is literally,
00:38:13.840
cancel Johnny's. Cancel Johnny S. So he's going about-
00:38:17.760
No, no, no. This is videos from people who want him gone.
00:38:20.720
Oh, okay. I thought this came from his stream itself.
00:38:27.040
Oh, yeah. He's obviously playing into the perception.
00:38:29.760
So he does get a lot of hate for what he's doing.
00:38:40.640
He gets a dressing down from loads of people here for being obnoxious.
00:38:45.920
See, everyone is just having a go at him, going up to him, telling him no.
00:38:53.440
And he just doesn't stop and is just continuing to be obnoxious.
00:39:00.240
There's also him on the subway where people tell him to stop being obnoxious as well.
00:39:07.040
The same sort of thing. He's also saying bad things to people.
00:39:13.040
It's like, be quiet, basically, is what he's saying there.
00:39:16.400
So, I think you've seen enough to hate this guy, right?
00:39:19.280
I think we're all in agreement that this guy is awful.
00:39:36.480
South Koreans have been hunting down Johnny Smiley and his friends for several days.
00:39:40.340
They've beat him and dragged him into the road.
00:39:43.100
But, allegedly, an ex-MMA fighter named Tate Wung is hunting him down.
00:39:56.460
He's making all of his preparations, putting his war paint on.
00:39:59.800
And, apparently, otherwise liberal K-pop stars are calling for his deportation and calls for his arrest are spreading.
00:40:09.380
I like that the K-pop stars, they're finally doing something good with their influence.
00:40:14.720
And, a Korean streamer was able to find out where he was by following his stream and started following him and harassing him in return.
00:40:24.900
And, he doesn't like it when it's done to him, funnily enough.
00:40:28.300
He looks like he's about 90 pounds soaking wet as well.
00:40:37.480
Or, I don't know what that little box in the corner is.
00:40:40.900
But, they basically follow him to the door of his hotel.
00:40:53.140
And, he has to get let in by one of his comrades, I suppose.
00:41:02.820
He's already been punched in the face by this point.
00:41:19.280
Surely, there's a point of diminishing returns.
00:41:21.620
Where, if you were a rational and intelligent person with the mind of an eight-year-old rather than a three-year-old.
00:41:29.140
I'm being beaten, hunted, hounded out of every country that I go to.
00:41:35.860
You'd think that would be something that would cross his mind.
00:41:38.740
I want to shake the hands of those South Korean streamers.
00:41:44.760
You know he's outside of his, outside of this hotel, right?
00:41:50.220
And, this, he'd been stuck out there for a while now.
00:41:53.400
Warning, if you're worried about watching a bit of mild violence.
00:42:00.720
But, however, if you're a reasonable person who wants to see him get his comeuppance, here you go.
00:42:21.740
Not that I would ever encourage this kind of behavior.
00:42:23.380
No, it's terrible that this thing happened to him.
00:42:53.580
So, the word for you sounds like a certain pejorative word in English that has a certain unsavory reaction from certain people.
00:43:11.640
Yeah, it sounds like that word that PewDiePie once said.
00:43:14.540
And I'm obviously not going to play this because it's definitely going to get us in trouble on YouTube.
00:43:19.380
But I am going to show you the video whilst muted.
00:43:22.280
So, this is a Korean streamer whilst Johnny Somali is in trouble with what looks like the police or some security.
00:43:35.400
And it's making them get really angry because, of course, it does.
00:43:45.340
I see a lot of posts from, like, Reddit and other social media sites where it'll be, you know, like, black Americans going to Japan and going to South Korea and just furiously typing away.
00:44:00.880
They're looking and pointing at me, saying it in Japanese accents.
00:44:05.360
And they're probably just pointing and saying, look at you, you over there.
00:44:12.760
Stop talking on your phone, on speakerphone, on public transport.
00:44:17.480
Because you don't need to be Johnny Somali to do that.
00:44:30.740
And this is that same website that said he got decked as well.
00:44:39.680
Pretty much all of his social media, all of the accounts that he was using to do these annoying things, I think, have been removed, as far as I'm aware.
00:44:50.460
And so, he has no means of really getting any more money from doing all of these annoying things.
00:44:56.400
And just as a further white pill, really, he was in the US in June of 2024, this year, and got punched.
00:45:14.480
I think he began harassing a female police officer.
00:45:22.140
Literally everywhere he goes, he ends up getting deported.
00:45:36.540
He was also arrested for posting photos of Epstein and Harvey Weinstein in Jerusalem as well.
00:45:45.520
But yes, it seems like these annoying people who are going out of their way to be obnoxious for clout
00:45:50.900
actually do get their just desserts in the end.
00:45:54.720
Sometimes, if they're famous enough, big enough for people to take notice of them.
00:45:59.260
And if they're in a culture that's still more than willing to defend itself.
00:46:07.500
Let's just say if Johnny Somali came here and anything was done to try and stop him from being annoying,
00:46:12.620
like in Korea, we'd probably be the ones getting arrested.
00:46:17.740
Two tiny, five foot two policemen would come up to him and politely ask him to stop.
00:46:24.640
We'd ask them for cigarettes and they'd go get him cigarettes.
00:46:46.920
So, Harry, do you want to know how I got these scars lifts up shirt?
00:47:00.020
Largest group of immigrants to Australia is from the UK.
00:47:05.900
Says when they push people past the brink, what do they think is going to happen?
00:47:10.480
Look what happened when a few girls were murdered.
00:47:13.180
And now imagine if the whole country is starving.
00:47:16.740
Well, I pointed out yesterday that, again, I don't want to sound like Peter Hitchens, but
00:47:21.500
for a young man, say, who's switched on, ambitious, intellectual, driven, what is the
00:47:29.780
reason to stay in the UK and make a life for yourself rather than go to somewhere like
00:47:35.080
Australia or the parts of the US that still haven't been affected quite as much, where
00:47:40.020
there's lower taxes, more opportunity for yourself.
00:47:43.600
Labour, with this new budget, is pushing even more people out of the country who constitute
00:47:49.540
I'm not recommending that people do that, but for a rational young man, I can see why they
00:47:56.260
So it's just going to make it so all these taxes they need is going to be more difficult
00:48:00.520
Also, the people who are dead weight are still going to stay here.
00:48:03.960
To fight the good fight, though, the reason for a young man to stay is to fight that battle.
00:48:13.520
But from a pure self-interest sort of position, I can understand why a lot of young men do leave
00:48:30.560
Korean media blur out the faces of Koreans that attack the Somali and leave his and Somali
00:48:36.740
The police will also target Somali and Somali Jr. while ignoring Koreans that attack.
00:48:45.300
Lord Miles went to Afghanistan and was so polite he made friends with the Taliban.
00:48:49.060
Johnny Somali goes to the most civilised and polite country and gets attacked.
00:48:54.340
That's the Anglo distinction, is how good we are at this.
00:48:58.560
It's why we politely managed to wrangle our way to controlling one-fifth of the earth.
00:49:02.260
Callum told me that the Taliban actually had lots of nice things to say about the British,
00:49:10.020
I'm sure that there's a lot of historical memory going,
00:49:14.380
Well, also, we did govern them for a while, and they said we governed well.
00:49:17.560
When we went into Basra in 03, that's like the fourth time we've invaded their country.
00:49:25.600
You just need to do a little invading Afghanistan.
00:49:35.260
Why is Harry the only one in a Halloween costume?
00:49:45.160
Well, we've got a reserve of ties that I was looking through yesterday
00:49:48.960
because I decided it's finally time to start wearing ties.
00:49:51.240
And I found this, and I knew I had my purple shirt,
00:50:01.940
Maybe to a certain perspective, they clash, Beau.
00:50:11.340
I'm just going to have to slip back my hair for a moment.
00:50:31.680
someone must tell him to check out North Korea.
00:50:37.560
Maybe Johnny Somali is like a biological weapon
00:50:48.900
there's a Korean streamer that's helping Johnny.
00:50:53.960
so Johnny also got his friend in trouble with the police.
00:51:02.420
as the cheap plum wine coursed through his veins.
00:51:18.380
Never abandon the land of your forefathers, I say.
00:51:26.660
Do you gentlemen know what the neocon cycle is?
00:51:40.260
And now it's just been the cycle ever since then
00:51:50.540
that are doing all of this bad stuff to everyone.
00:51:54.640
but I feel like people nowadays use the word differently.
00:52:02.280
and Paul Wolfowitz and Dick Cheney and George Bush Jr.,
00:52:15.780
but it feels like nowadays people use the word neocon
00:52:21.280
You tend to find that the kind of neoconservatives
00:52:58.400
also be massive supporters of the state of Israel
00:53:09.960
That was always one of the defining characteristics
00:53:40.560
people who used to consider themselves left wing,
00:54:13.600
but the trans stuff's a little bit too much for me.
00:54:29.860
Tell us how we can win the culture war, please.
00:55:00.860
particularly if they care about government spending,
00:55:41.340
But he has quite a good and succinct description of it here,
00:55:47.040
forces it to shed a certain percentage of liberals
