The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters #1012

00:00:00.000 Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for the 1st of October 2024.

00:00:15.420 I'm joined by Carl and Beau.

00:00:17.400 Hello.

00:00:18.200 And today we're going to be talking about the hurricane that has struck the United States.

00:00:23.780 Beau's going to be talking about something that's going to get us all blown up.

00:00:26.540 And Carl's going to be talking about something that's going to get us demonetised.

00:00:33.400 Although it's not going on YouTube.

00:00:35.640 And we're already demonetised on YouTube.

00:00:37.480 So it doesn't...

00:00:38.060 So yeah.

00:00:38.860 But no, Carl's talking about the election coming up in the United States.

00:00:43.620 Yeah, they're going to steal it.

00:00:44.680 They're going to try and steal it again.

00:00:47.800 Breaking news.

00:00:48.600 I think it's going to be a new method this time though.

00:00:50.500 But I'm not going to spoil it.

00:00:51.340 Well, it's lots of different methods, yeah.

00:00:52.880 Also, there is a roundtable at three o'clock today.

00:00:56.740 So after this podcast, a half an hour afterwards, we're talking about the Conservatives outflanking reform to the right.

00:01:02.900 Because they've realised that reform are a threat. 0.99

00:01:05.320 And all of a sudden they've discovered their set of testicles. 0.99

00:01:09.920 And yeah, I don't hold out any hopes for any of them. 0.99

00:01:13.820 But we're going to be talking about it.

00:01:15.320 I think it'll be an interesting conversation for the future of British politics at the very least.

00:01:19.320 And it simply shouldn't be possible.

00:01:22.260 But here we are.

00:01:23.300 The Conservatives are far to the right of Nigel Farage at this point.

00:01:26.240 Which shows us just how duplicitous the Conservatives are and how disappointing reform are.

00:01:32.020 Absolutely.

00:01:33.380 So, as probably most Americans are aware now, there was a hurricane in the United States.

00:01:41.200 Hurricane Helene.

00:01:42.300 And it hit late on Thursday night with a maximum sustained wind of 140 miles per hour.

00:01:49.220 Obviously, very high.

00:01:51.340 And it pretty much weakened to a tropical storm once it hit land.

00:01:55.520 As you can see in this sort of diagram of the storm itself.

00:02:00.200 You can see there, by the time it got to sort of northern Georgia, it had become a tropical storm rather than a hurricane.

00:02:08.160 But for a decent portion of land, it was a hurricane.

00:02:12.080 So, it caused lots of storm surge damage.

00:02:15.480 Flooding, obviously.

00:02:16.900 As well as extensive wind damage.

00:02:19.020 Apparently, there was up to 20 feet of storm surge in some places.

00:02:22.300 Which is completely unsurvivable if you're, you know, staying in your house.

00:02:26.960 Which is terrifying to me.

00:02:28.500 So, for a layman, what's storm surge mean?

00:02:31.640 So, when there is a storm, you get surging waves from the sea.

00:02:38.480 And 20 feet.

00:02:40.100 So, massive waves are...

00:02:41.880 Pretty much.

00:02:42.520 Well, it's just the water shifting in.

00:02:44.720 You see video clips of it and it just looks like the sea is just moving into the land.

00:02:49.500 It's really horrifying, actually.

00:02:50.980 So, and there's also up to 20 inches of rainfall in some areas, which obviously caused flash floods and also landslides in more mountainous areas.

00:02:59.900 We're going to be looking at some of those.

00:03:01.700 So far, I was able to find 132 deaths across multiple states.

00:03:07.060 But the states affected are Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.

00:03:13.560 So, I'm hearing a lot of Republican voting states there.

00:03:16.400 Yes, that's right.

00:03:17.820 Interesting.

00:03:18.640 We'll be getting back to that.

00:03:19.680 But what I do need is that copy of Islander right there.

00:03:24.800 So, if you're hiding away from extreme weather events, extreme migrant events, extreme extremities of any kind and you need some reading material, what you want...

00:03:36.760 Roaming gangs of immigrants. 0.99

00:03:38.300 That too, yeah.

00:03:39.680 You need a copy of Islander.

00:03:40.980 There's lots of interesting things to read about in here that will fascinate you and distract you from your impending doom.

00:03:48.920 And there are lots of good articles.

00:03:51.020 There's one here by Carl.

00:03:53.240 There's also one by Stefan Molyneux.

00:03:55.460 Even I'm in here.

00:03:57.200 So, make sure to get...

00:03:58.380 That's true.

00:03:59.040 Yeah.

00:04:00.580 Rogoff's great.

00:04:01.620 Yeah.

00:04:01.920 Yep.

00:04:02.320 And I've lost my flow now.

00:04:05.300 But, yeah.

00:04:06.240 Islander.

00:04:06.600 Buy Islander. 0.93

00:04:07.360 Yeah.

00:04:08.040 Buy it.

00:04:08.520 It's really good.

00:04:09.020 And you'll like it.

00:04:10.480 It's only going to be there for a little while.

00:04:12.160 And then it's going to be out of print and then you won't be able to buy it.

00:04:14.920 But anyway, on to some of the destruction caused by this hurricane.

00:04:18.920 So, here is aerial footage of Asheville, North Carolina.

00:04:23.160 Jesus.

00:04:23.560 This, obviously, very high flood water.

00:04:29.620 Not the Wendy's.

00:04:32.600 We're not happy with that, Mike.

00:04:34.220 Nope.

00:04:35.100 Be sneaky, Carl.

00:04:37.580 You guys didn't notice anything.

00:04:39.000 Bit of studio trickery there.

00:04:41.180 That was flawless.

00:04:41.800 That was flawless.

00:04:42.240 Cut to Josh.

00:04:43.160 No.

00:04:43.440 No.

00:04:45.660 Okay.

00:04:46.140 But, as you can see, massive flooding.

00:04:49.740 This looks horrifying.

00:04:51.340 I would dread to think what it was like to actually be there.

00:04:56.360 There's some more here.

00:04:57.620 This is Asheville as well.

00:04:59.380 And you can see the aftermath slightly later.

00:05:02.960 Just the damage done here.

00:05:06.860 Because in Britain, it's a particularly clement place, right?

00:05:10.560 We're not on any fault lines.

00:05:12.100 We don't get, other than once a generation, if that, a hurricane.

00:05:15.680 It's not even as bad as this.

00:05:16.940 I've never seen anything like this.

00:05:18.320 So, yeah, we don't have any massive predators.

00:05:21.440 The worst you've got is like a badger.

00:05:23.400 I've been chased by a badger.

00:05:24.560 Hardly any poisonous things.

00:05:26.880 You might once in a blue moon see an adder.

00:05:29.060 Maybe once in your life.

00:05:30.520 England is like a garden.

00:05:31.880 Yeah.

00:05:32.640 So, to Brits, this is just sort of crazy, this sort of stuff,

00:05:36.220 when it happens fairly regularly, it seems to me, in America, right?

00:05:38.980 Well, America's a giant continent.

00:05:40.100 It does amaze me that people take it in their stride.

00:05:42.940 The same with tornadoes and things like that.

00:05:44.560 They're just like, yeah, it could happen.

00:05:45.920 I'm just like, does that not worry you a bit more?

00:05:47.880 It'd worry me a lot.

00:05:49.040 But here's some more.

00:05:51.460 This is Black Mountain, North Carolina, here.

00:05:55.120 I think this is some drone footage, just of the extent of the flooding.

00:05:58.900 It seems to be almost centralised around the town itself as well there,

00:06:02.880 which is horrifying.

00:06:04.660 And quite often, settlements, towns are built on by rivers, right?

00:06:08.300 And so, if a river bursts its banks...

00:06:11.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:06:12.080 This is some more aftermath.

00:06:13.600 This is, again, North Carolina.

00:06:15.760 But you're starting to get the gist of it.

00:06:18.060 It's crazy.

00:06:19.060 Here's some more.

00:06:19.880 I think this is actually a lake here.

00:06:23.060 This just seems like a colossal mass.

00:06:26.120 Just colossal disaster.

00:06:28.660 You'd think that this would warrant a full-scale mobilisation

00:06:31.580 from the federal government.

00:06:32.720 You would think that, wouldn't you?

00:06:34.280 Why would they talk about anything else other than this?

00:06:38.240 Cutting to Florida as well.

00:06:41.040 Here we have a Tesla catching fire when the garage floods.

00:06:47.960 And supposedly, this is something that can happen.

00:06:50.360 So I wanted to include this because it's not particularly intuitive

00:06:54.000 that electric cars catch fire when you put water on them.

00:06:58.360 But apparently, they do.

00:06:59.740 Apparently, it's salt water in particular.

00:07:01.360 Well, there's a reason that you don't put water on electrics.

00:07:04.560 Yes.

00:07:05.680 But I wanted to include this just so people are aware

00:07:08.840 that if you've got an electric car

00:07:10.180 and it comes into contact with salt water,

00:07:11.780 it can catch fire.

00:07:14.400 So another thing in Florida,

00:07:16.100 they seem to be a bit more adapted to dealing with it

00:07:18.940 because people are going for a jog drinking beer

00:07:20.980 by the likes of it.

00:07:22.400 Florida man.

00:07:23.500 He's struck once again.

00:07:24.840 I do feel like one of the best ways to deal with it

00:07:26.640 is to do, is it Captain Dan in Forrest Gump?

00:07:32.560 Lieutenant Dan.

00:07:33.040 Lieutenant Dan, sorry.

00:07:33.840 Lieutenant Dan, yeah.

00:07:35.200 Like just waving his fist at God.

00:07:36.400 Is that the best you've got?

00:07:37.680 Bring it on.

00:07:38.700 I know it's easy for me to say.

00:07:40.040 Yeah, I don't think I'd be risking it.

00:07:41.680 Yeah, no.

00:07:41.920 So, in perhaps a more stark image here,

00:07:48.520 this is Florida again.

00:07:49.820 This is lives ruined.

00:07:51.600 Of course, yeah.

00:07:52.420 This is entire...

00:07:53.800 You can see the foundations where houses once were

00:07:56.940 and also the people who are probably in them horrified.

00:08:02.200 Some of them might not have even survived.

00:08:03.820 It's surprising so few have died when you look at that.

00:08:07.880 Was it 138 dead, did you say?

00:08:09.960 132 so far.

00:08:13.320 At least that's the number that I've been able to get.

00:08:16.720 And moving on to...

00:08:19.240 Oh, cheers, Samson.

00:08:22.380 Moving on to Tennessee here,

00:08:24.620 I'm going to play some audio of this.

00:08:26.320 This is an entire bridge collapsing

00:08:28.520 because of the flooding.

00:08:32.520 Sorry if it's a bit loud.

00:08:33.700 Get out of the way. 0.53

00:08:34.440 Let's head it down.

00:08:35.640 Bro, get out of the way.

00:08:36.560 Mother Nature doesn't care about your bridge. 1.00

00:08:49.180 It's just untold destruction, isn't it?

00:08:51.200 And I'm going to show just a couple more things.

00:08:53.500 I think there's only just one more, in fact.

00:08:55.760 And this is one of the scariest ones to me,

00:08:59.400 was this.

00:09:00.180 This is just a sudden debris flow

00:09:02.180 from what looks like a mountainous area.

00:09:05.280 It says East Tennessee, Western North Carolina.

00:09:13.080 I don't know if the volume could be loud,

00:09:15.280 but just a sudden...

00:09:18.060 They thoroughly escaped death.

00:09:19.220 They did, yeah.

00:09:21.820 If you're watching us and you're in these regions,

00:09:24.920 I hope you're safe.

00:09:26.640 I hope everything's all right.

00:09:28.500 That's crazy.

00:09:29.140 I've always said it's a very, very glib thing to say.

00:09:32.140 But if I lived in a danger zone,

00:09:33.680 I would think about moving.

00:09:35.400 If I lived in Hurricane Alley,

00:09:37.660 I would think about going somewhere else.

00:09:39.220 So even in California,

00:09:44.120 in the earthquake zones,

00:09:46.020 I would think about maybe living somewhere else.

00:09:48.900 In 2018, I think it was 2017,

00:09:52.260 I went to California

00:09:53.620 and I was having dinner with Michael Knowles

00:09:55.740 and everything started shaking.

00:09:57.900 They were just like,

00:09:58.840 should be fine.

00:09:59.780 And they looked terrified

00:10:01.000 because it could be any time

00:10:02.640 there's a gargantuan earthquake

00:10:04.300 and everyone dies.

00:10:05.400 I think they're overdue one, right?

00:10:06.480 Yeah, they are, yeah.

00:10:07.780 So it's just like, okay.

00:10:09.220 Yeah, it's difficult to fathom

00:10:13.200 if you live in Europe, isn't it?

00:10:15.640 So another natural hazard,

00:10:18.280 I've covered landslides, floods,

00:10:20.600 you know, the storm winds,

00:10:22.200 all sorts of things.

00:10:24.860 Mexican migrants as well, 0.99

00:10:26.680 apparently looting Mexican migrants. 0.97

00:10:28.360 Here are some people

00:10:29.020 that have been arrested here.

00:10:31.060 And yes, there are roving bands of people

00:10:34.000 trying to basically steal

00:10:36.660 whilst everyone is away from their property.

00:10:40.000 And of course,

00:10:40.420 this sort of thing happened in Katrina as well.

00:10:43.620 It seems to be,

00:10:45.120 unfortunately, very common,

00:10:46.320 but it's something to consider as well.

00:10:48.100 It's sort of human nature.

00:10:49.160 I think during the Black Death,

00:10:51.200 and sometimes whole villages were wiped out,

00:10:53.220 people would come in and loot the empty properties.

00:10:55.740 Or even during the Blitz,

00:10:57.100 crime went up massively during the Blitz.

00:10:58.920 Really?

00:10:59.400 Yeah, loads of people down in the air raid shelters

00:11:01.700 and thieves, cat thieves,

00:11:03.400 where we go around breaking and entering,

00:11:05.880 stealing stuff.

00:11:06.560 It's just some people have got no scruples, right?

00:11:09.460 But as Carl foreshadowed earlier,

00:11:15.080 the yellow is the path of the hurricane and tropical storm.

00:11:19.880 And here, this is mapped over the voting.

00:11:24.520 And you can see red, obviously, Republican, blue, Democrat.

00:11:27.280 And you can see which areas are affected here.

00:11:31.560 And it is largely, but not entirely, Republican areas,

00:11:35.060 which, you know, considering the nature of,

00:11:38.200 you know, they're largely centred around these sorts of areas,

00:11:40.840 and these areas expect hurricanes and tropical storms,

00:11:44.580 it's somewhat to be expected.

00:11:45.780 But the response is the thing I want to highlight,

00:11:48.140 because I don't agree with things like this, 0.76

00:11:50.760 where there are silly people saying, 0.72

00:11:53.280 oh, it was the government controlling hurricanes. 0.98

00:11:56.780 It's just absurd.

00:11:58.000 Just like, do you really think that that's something that's tangible

00:12:01.620 or that you could get away with, potentially?

00:12:04.600 If you get many God people this time saying

00:12:06.200 it's God's vengeance for sodomy and stuff.

00:12:09.080 They always come out.

00:12:09.700 One or two of those come out of the woodwork,

00:12:11.320 usually, when this happens.

00:12:13.620 Yeah, innocent people.

00:12:14.520 I think it's a tough sell, isn't it?

00:12:16.320 Well, yeah.

00:12:17.140 But, yeah, this stuff, not helpful.

00:12:20.500 But Trump has spoke about this,

00:12:23.960 and what he said was interesting,

00:12:25.300 because he said, obviously, 0.54

00:12:26.640 I don't want to turn a hurricane political butt, 0.85

00:12:30.020 and then said some political stuff.

00:12:32.620 So he claimed that the Biden administration

00:12:34.860 was refusing to help Republican governors.

00:12:37.820 And he cited Governor Brian Kemp,

00:12:40.440 who I think he's the governor of Georgia,

00:12:42.040 who claimed that he did speak repeatedly

00:12:45.560 to both Kamala and Biden.

00:12:47.340 And he's a Republican governor saying,

00:12:49.000 actually, this wasn't true.

00:12:50.340 Yeah, but he's a suspect property.

00:12:51.860 He is, yes.

00:12:54.140 But I think that there is an aspect of the hurricane

00:12:59.540 that is political as well.

00:13:00.480 Why isn't this full mobilisation?

00:13:01.600 What's the US military doing?

00:13:03.140 Yes.

00:13:03.720 We'll be looking at why there hasn't been much

00:13:06.640 of a good federal response very soon.

00:13:08.680 But what I did want to point out

00:13:09.900 is that the Democrats can't complain,

00:13:12.040 because, as Oran McIntyre here points out, 0.98

00:13:14.720 that they ran on the George Bush hates black people 0.98

00:13:17.240 because Katrina. 0.98

00:13:18.020 I was just going to say exactly,

00:13:20.520 make a very, very similar point to that,

00:13:22.220 that from the political side of things,

00:13:24.540 you're damned if you do

00:13:25.080 and you're damned if you don't. 0.89

00:13:25.920 Because if you don't go there,

00:13:27.340 like, just like George Bush,

00:13:28.640 George Bush sort of didn't go

00:13:29.800 to the site of Katrina,

00:13:30.900 at least for quite a while.

00:13:32.220 And people said, you don't care.

00:13:33.200 It's like the Queen not saying anything

00:13:34.420 about Diana's death.

00:13:35.580 It's like, you don't care, you're cold.

00:13:37.000 But if you do go,

00:13:37.800 if you do talk about it straight away,

00:13:39.040 then you're politicising the tragedy.

00:13:41.340 So it's a bit of a tightrope politically,

00:13:43.700 but just physically help the people though.

00:13:46.140 Surely that.

00:13:47.480 Morally, send men, supplies, resources, money,

00:13:51.400 whatever it is that is required

00:13:52.960 to save lives and rebuild these communities.

00:13:55.100 I mean, it's really not very complex.

00:13:56.980 And you think that'd be one of the primary things

00:13:58.760 the government ought to be doing

00:14:00.000 during a natural disaster.

00:14:02.440 Because, of course,

00:14:03.840 there exists the organisation FEMA,

00:14:05.740 which is meant to assist

00:14:07.400 when there is a natural disaster.

00:14:09.660 And this is goal one

00:14:11.860 of what FEMA does on their website.

00:14:14.640 Here you can see,

00:14:15.400 instill equity

00:14:16.660 as a foundation of emergency management.

00:14:20.020 This is goal number one.

00:14:21.120 It's not help people in need.

00:14:23.380 It's not, you know,

00:14:24.420 make sure people are safe.

00:14:25.860 It is instill equity.

00:14:27.540 Pretty sure they have stockpiled

00:14:28.840 vast numbers of coffins though.

00:14:31.240 So...

00:14:32.820 Oh, well, that...

00:14:33.380 I've not seen the FEMA stockpile of coffins.

00:14:35.000 I have.

00:14:36.880 It's got that covered.

00:14:37.820 Many conspiracy theories.

00:14:38.920 Got that covered, at least.

00:14:40.300 So, it's also worth mentioning as well

00:14:42.520 that FEMA has been transformed

00:14:45.460 from a disaster relief agency

00:14:47.980 into an illegal alien resettlement agency.

00:14:51.500 So, here is an extract

00:14:53.920 from their website.

00:14:55.840 The programme may also receive funding

00:14:57.300 to award to the National Board

00:14:58.780 for distribution

00:14:59.840 to local social service organisations

00:15:01.720 that provide humanitarian relief

00:15:03.600 to families and individuals

00:15:04.880 encountered by the Department

00:15:06.660 of Homeland Security.

00:15:08.440 And why would they be encountered

00:15:10.420 by the Department of Homeland Security?

00:15:11.940 Because they're breaking into

00:15:12.820 the country illegally.

00:15:13.960 That is why.

00:15:14.720 It's pretty explicit.

00:15:15.700 So, have FEMA, like,

00:15:17.380 said what they're doing

00:15:18.220 about this hurricane?

00:15:20.040 I've not seen much about it,

00:15:21.320 to be honest.

00:15:22.240 You'd think that they would be

00:15:23.440 front and centre.

00:15:24.400 Yeah, it'd be the only thing

00:15:25.320 they'd be tweeting about,

00:15:26.140 the only thing they'd post

00:15:26.840 on their website.

00:15:28.620 It may well have happened,

00:15:30.040 but to a lesser scale

00:15:31.220 than you would want.

00:15:32.700 So, it's also worth mentioning

00:15:34.120 as well that over a billion dollars

00:15:35.800 in taxpayer money

00:15:36.880 has been allocated

00:15:37.920 to this migrant service

00:15:40.060 rather than the disaster relief.

00:15:42.200 And here, they're giving money

00:15:46.600 to New York, of course,

00:15:48.400 not subject to, say,

00:15:49.680 hurricane disasters.

00:15:51.260 And, of course, New York is known

00:15:52.560 for handing out gift cards

00:15:53.820 and hotels to illegal immigrants,

00:15:56.040 and they're currently suffering with it.

00:15:58.340 And there are other schemes as well.

00:16:01.100 This one for $685 million

00:16:03.780 for more funding for illegal aliens.

00:16:06.180 So, this is almost approaching

00:16:09.280 $2 billion in money.

00:16:12.200 And, yeah, they've got

00:16:13.780 the equity page as well,

00:16:15.780 as well as many other things.

00:16:18.400 But you get the idea

00:16:19.160 that the agency is not

00:16:21.340 fit for purpose anymore

00:16:22.240 because it's been repurposed

00:16:23.580 for something else.

00:16:25.320 It should be for disaster relief.

00:16:27.160 Instead, it's helping

00:16:27.920 with the migrant situation,

00:16:29.540 which shouldn't be a situation

00:16:30.760 in the first place, obviously.

00:16:33.100 And let's cut to this as well.

00:16:37.080 FEMA's also saying

00:16:38.280 that it's due to global heating.

00:16:40.100 It's not even warming anymore.

00:16:41.080 It's heating.

00:16:41.980 They've changed the language 0.99

00:16:42.880 for whatever reason.

00:16:44.640 So, they won't save you,

00:16:46.940 but they will propagandize you.

00:16:49.080 Let's assume it is.

00:16:50.360 Get down there and help people out.

00:16:52.220 Mm-hmm.

00:16:52.780 Yeah.

00:16:53.200 It doesn't excuse you.

00:16:54.460 Let's just assume it's correct.

00:16:54.880 Yeah, sure.

00:16:55.380 Get on with it.

00:16:56.080 Mm-hmm.

00:16:57.740 So, here is Kamala Harris

00:16:59.460 talking about this sort of thing.

00:17:03.300 It is our lowest income communities

00:17:07.500 and our communities of color

00:17:08.800 that are most impacted

00:17:11.180 by these extreme conditions

00:17:13.740 and impacted by issues

00:17:17.340 that are not of their own making.

00:17:19.260 And women. 0.98

00:17:20.720 Absolutely.

00:17:21.840 And so, we have to address this

00:17:24.160 in a way that is about

00:17:25.460 giving resources based on equity,

00:17:28.300 understanding that we fight for equality,

00:17:30.660 but we also need to fight for equity,

00:17:32.140 understanding not everyone

00:17:33.020 starts out at the same place.

00:17:35.140 And if we want people

00:17:36.100 to be in an equal place,

00:17:37.220 sometimes we have to take

00:17:38.160 into account those disparities

00:17:39.560 and do that work.

00:17:43.720 Imagine clapping that.

00:17:46.160 But, I mean,

00:17:47.240 this is where it's really showing that

00:17:48.860 because you had a lot of people saying,

00:17:50.740 well, hang on a second,

00:17:51.360 who's in charge of the United States

00:17:52.640 if Biden is basically out to lunch?

00:17:54.560 And for most of the time,

00:17:55.880 it doesn't really matter

00:17:56.760 because the institutions,

00:17:59.140 the civil service,

00:17:59.860 whatever it is,

00:18:00.520 everything kind of runs itself.

00:18:02.060 But it's in emergency situations

00:18:03.660 like this where it really does matter

00:18:05.080 because a responsible president

00:18:06.440 will come out and say,

00:18:07.060 right, okay,

00:18:07.860 I've spoken to Congress,

00:18:08.940 I've spoken to the Senate,

00:18:09.880 we've secured

00:18:11.220 however many billions

00:18:12.180 in emergency funding.

00:18:13.620 We're going to get

00:18:14.120 emergency workers over there.

00:18:15.060 We're going to make sure

00:18:15.520 there's relief packages

00:18:16.400 for the people who have lost

00:18:17.180 their livelihoods,

00:18:18.080 their homes, blah, blah, blah.

00:18:19.400 We're going to make sure

00:18:19.860 their lives are safe

00:18:20.500 and things are fixed.

00:18:21.960 And at the moment,

00:18:22.700 it just seems like crickets

00:18:23.600 because I've heard nothing

00:18:24.440 from Biden on this.

00:18:25.640 The media gives it

00:18:26.440 very little coverage.

00:18:27.800 Well, here's what Biden had to say.

00:18:30.340 I'm just going to summarise

00:18:31.380 because we're running out of time.

00:18:32.900 But a journalist asks,

00:18:34.220 do you have any words

00:18:34.880 for the victims of the hurricane?

00:18:37.260 And he basically says,

00:18:38.160 we've given them

00:18:38.740 all that we have.

00:18:40.100 Are there any more resources

00:18:41.220 that the federal government

00:18:42.100 could be giving them?

00:18:42.900 And he says,

00:18:43.300 no.

00:18:43.780 And then shall we cut

00:18:45.000 to three days earlier,

00:18:48.380 he gave 2.4 billion of aid

00:18:50.500 to Ukraine.

00:18:52.700 Where did that money come from?

00:18:53.960 Oh, sorry.

00:18:54.140 No, I need to be

00:18:54.660 fiscally responsible.

00:18:55.820 Oh, yeah.

00:18:56.040 Like when?

00:18:57.020 When has the US government

00:18:57.960 been fiscally responsible?

00:18:59.440 1872 or something.

00:19:01.020 Right?

00:19:01.120 Like, so, it just,

00:19:04.160 okay, yeah,

00:19:04.900 can't increase the debt anymore.

00:19:07.560 God.

00:19:08.340 So, Republicans have also

00:19:10.060 been pointing out that

00:19:11.300 he was claiming that

00:19:13.240 he was commanding the situation

00:19:14.920 whilst it was ongoing.

00:19:17.720 And they're alleging

00:19:18.620 that he was at his beach house

00:19:19.840 and Camilla was fundraising

00:19:21.140 in San Francisco.

00:19:22.420 So, neither of them

00:19:23.760 were at the helm

00:19:24.820 sorting things out.

00:19:26.060 Yeah.

00:19:26.220 Which I can believe.

00:19:28.400 Yeah, it seems

00:19:29.300 perfectly reasonable to me.

00:19:31.420 And to sort of

00:19:32.480 flip it on its head

00:19:33.880 and show

00:19:34.800 how effective

00:19:36.140 a response can be,

00:19:37.600 I'm going to go to

00:19:38.320 how DeSantis

00:19:39.160 dealt with it in Florida

00:19:40.200 because if anyone's

00:19:41.840 prepared for hurricanes,

00:19:42.880 it is the Floridians

00:19:43.800 and especially DeSantis.

00:19:45.580 So, here is a video.

00:19:47.040 These are all linesmen

00:19:48.300 in one place

00:19:49.740 waiting

00:19:50.740 to go out

00:19:52.460 and repair

00:19:53.380 all of the lines

00:19:54.340 that are downed.

00:19:55.120 It's a massive

00:19:56.480 fleet of them

00:19:57.280 and you can see here

00:19:59.640 that DeSantis

00:20:00.380 as time was going on

00:20:01.680 was posting updates.

00:20:03.400 So, this is

00:20:04.840 basically one full day

00:20:06.620 after the actual

00:20:08.420 hurricane itself.

00:20:09.440 They'd already restored

00:20:10.460 2.175 million

00:20:12.860 homes with power

00:20:15.200 and then there were

00:20:16.280 only 227,000

00:20:18.240 outstanding

00:20:18.860 and then he kept

00:20:19.960 on posting updates.

00:20:21.900 So, by this point

00:20:23.040 basically

00:20:23.940 a day

00:20:25.960 and a bit more,

00:20:27.240 99% of the state

00:20:28.720 had power

00:20:29.480 which is very impressive.

00:20:31.220 It's like he's got

00:20:32.000 the best interests

00:20:32.800 of Florida at heart,

00:20:33.920 isn't it?

00:20:34.180 It's almost as though...

00:20:35.600 I don't mean to laugh

00:20:37.020 but it's just funny

00:20:38.320 to frame it that way.

00:20:39.200 It's almost like

00:20:40.260 he cares about his state.

00:20:42.220 Yeah, it is.

00:20:43.140 That response

00:20:43.700 from Biden

00:20:44.240 was horrible, horrible. 1.00

00:20:46.400 It's disgusting. 0.97

00:20:47.640 It's absolutely despicable. 0.93

00:20:50.040 And then

00:20:50.480 the final thing

00:20:51.460 I wanted to end on

00:20:52.440 is that even though

00:20:53.420 Florida

00:20:53.880 dealt with

00:20:56.020 the hurricane

00:20:57.000 at its worst,

00:20:58.640 they actually sent

00:20:59.500 their National Guard

00:21:00.240 to send air assets

00:21:01.140 to North Carolina

00:21:02.060 to help them.

00:21:03.180 See, this is what

00:21:04.320 the president should be doing.

00:21:05.460 This is responsible governance.

00:21:07.240 It is, yeah.

00:21:08.060 And also,

00:21:08.680 this is one of the things

00:21:09.600 that even just

00:21:10.420 in a disaster situation

00:21:11.560 individually,

00:21:12.720 if you are prepared

00:21:13.760 yourself,

00:21:14.660 it's not only

00:21:15.180 good for you,

00:21:16.100 it's good for

00:21:16.520 everyone around you

00:21:17.400 because you can

00:21:18.060 offer help to them.

00:21:19.620 And that is the whole

00:21:20.380 point of these things

00:21:21.440 existing,

00:21:22.120 and if you politicise them

00:21:23.360 they cease to work.

00:21:27.420 Okay.

00:21:29.620 Is there some

00:21:30.460 chats?

00:21:32.820 We do, oh yeah.

00:21:33.400 Mason Royce says

00:21:34.340 keep the beard burnt

00:21:35.040 looks good.

00:21:36.000 Thank you.

00:21:36.620 There you are.

00:21:38.440 Here's your copy

00:21:39.220 of Islander,

00:21:39.800 there you are.

00:21:41.280 Still can't grow

00:21:41.880 sideburns though.

00:21:43.100 No?

00:21:43.740 Not really, anyway.

00:21:44.480 They're sort of

00:21:45.280 coming in though,

00:21:45.960 aren't they?

00:21:46.200 Yeah, I don't bother

00:21:46.820 because they're patchy.

00:21:48.260 Apache?

00:21:50.240 Apache bow, yeah.

00:21:51.880 My debut album,

00:21:53.140 Apache sideburn.

00:21:53.780 I've had a completely

00:21:54.300 full beard since I was

00:21:55.680 19,

00:21:56.160 I don't understand

00:21:56.860 the schoolboy problems.

00:21:58.380 I don't know,

00:21:58.960 I don't know what to tell you.

00:22:01.780 I sort of get the

00:22:02.840 Chinese growth,

00:22:03.560 but it grows really

00:22:04.420 quickly here,

00:22:05.360 and then slowly

00:22:06.340 fills in on the sides.

00:22:08.940 Oh well.

00:22:09.760 Okay, can I get

00:22:10.800 control over?

00:22:11.280 We've got a quick

00:22:12.160 chat here.

00:22:13.200 Migrants leating during 1.00

00:22:14.180 a natural disaster.

00:22:15.520 Turns out they are

00:22:16.200 willing to adopt

00:22:16.860 American culture.

00:22:19.660 Oh dear, yes.

00:22:22.600 Right, so we need

00:22:23.520 to talk a little bit

00:22:24.360 about Israel and

00:22:25.160 Hezbollah.

00:22:25.900 We haven't talked

00:22:26.640 about that theatre

00:22:27.620 of conflict for

00:22:28.340 quite a while.

00:22:29.000 I know, try to

00:22:29.720 avoid it.

00:22:30.060 Yeah.

00:22:31.240 It is always a bit

00:22:32.340 of a minefield

00:22:33.040 because one of the

00:22:33.620 first things to say

00:22:34.360 is that whenever we,

00:22:35.640 for example,

00:22:36.500 express any sort of

00:22:37.360 criticism of the

00:22:38.520 Zelensky government,

00:22:39.760 some people accuse us

00:22:40.560 of being pro-Putin,

00:22:42.120 pro-Russia,

00:22:42.840 pro-Kremlin.

00:22:44.320 It's just not the

00:22:45.140 case.

00:22:45.880 Some Cretans have

00:22:46.680 even accused us

00:22:47.380 of actually being

00:22:47.800 in the pay of

00:22:48.360 Russia, things like

00:22:49.440 that. 0.91

00:22:49.840 Nonsense, nonsense.

00:22:51.260 So, yeah, the first

00:22:52.280 thing to say about

00:22:52.820 this, my own position

00:22:53.920 anyway, is that I'm

00:22:55.180 neither for Israel 0.90

00:22:56.360 nor the Arabs.

00:22:57.500 I'm an Englishman,

00:22:58.580 thank you very much.

00:22:59.340 We haven't got a dog

00:22:59.980 in the fight, nor

00:23:00.460 should we.

00:23:01.420 I won't pick a side,

00:23:02.700 I refuse to pick a 0.86

00:23:03.280 side, I don't accept

00:23:03.900 that paradigm.

00:23:05.160 But a lot of people

00:23:05.680 do, isn't it?

00:23:06.080 I think it's a pit for

00:23:06.760 a lot of people fall

00:23:07.460 into where you're so

00:23:08.780 anti-Islam, for

00:23:10.300 example, that you

00:23:11.000 effectively become

00:23:11.920 pro-Israeli, like

00:23:12.800 Douglas Murray, say,

00:23:14.040 for example.

00:23:14.920 Or the other way

00:23:15.700 round, you're so

00:23:16.780 anti-Israel that you

00:23:17.760 effectively pro-Muslim

00:23:18.940 like Jeremy Corbyn or

00:23:20.060 George Galloway or

00:23:20.640 something.

00:23:20.800 Jackson Hinkle.

00:23:21.980 Right.

00:23:22.700 Yeah.

00:23:23.000 Lots of people, I

00:23:23.680 think, fall into that

00:23:24.580 pitfall.

00:23:25.320 And I just, I refuse to

00:23:26.720 do that.

00:23:27.660 This has been particularly

00:23:29.080 rough on Jeremy Corbyn,

00:23:30.240 hasn't it?

00:23:30.880 He's lost a lot of

00:23:31.440 friends.

00:23:31.980 His page will blow up.

00:23:33.160 Oh! 0.60

00:23:35.620 I've heard that joke

00:23:36.780 for ages.

00:23:37.740 My concern about

00:23:38.840 picking sides, if you

00:23:40.500 will, is that it then

00:23:42.020 provides a rationale for

00:23:43.160 military adventurism,

00:23:44.520 doesn't it?

00:23:44.940 And if we can see the

00:23:47.080 story of, you know,

00:23:48.840 when the UK and the

00:23:50.160 US go out to,

00:23:51.640 particularly the Middle

00:23:52.320 East, it doesn't end

00:23:53.580 well for us.

00:23:54.440 It's not in our

00:23:55.540 interest, is it,

00:23:56.120 either way?

00:23:57.960 It is not our problem

00:23:59.260 to solve.

00:23:59.900 We're not the world

00:24:00.440 police.

00:24:01.480 Yeah.

00:24:01.940 Yeah.

00:24:02.520 I mean, some people say

00:24:03.420 that Israel are our

00:24:04.100 closest ally in the

00:24:05.260 region.

00:24:05.680 Are they, though?

00:24:07.660 What have they done

00:24:08.140 for us lately?

00:24:09.140 I mean, probably

00:24:09.820 technically true, but...

00:24:11.640 I just want to pick

00:24:12.580 a side.

00:24:13.180 I take the Magna

00:24:14.480 Carta over either the

00:24:15.720 Talmud or the 0.98

00:24:16.920 Quran, thank you very

00:24:17.640 much.

00:24:18.360 Yeah, but I just look

00:24:19.020 at them as just,

00:24:19.540 they're just foreign 1.00

00:24:20.060 countries.

00:24:21.500 They're just foreign 1.00

00:24:22.280 countries a long way

00:24:23.080 off.

00:24:23.740 Sure, yeah.

00:24:24.240 It's an endless, 0.75

00:24:26.080 disgusting desert

00:24:26.720 feud that's got 0.52

00:24:27.220 nothing to do with

00:24:27.720 England.

00:24:28.620 So, there you go.

00:24:29.140 Yeah, we shouldn't

00:24:29.520 be funding them.

00:24:30.200 See, when you make

00:24:30.760 say an opinion like

00:24:31.400 that, you say, we

00:24:32.020 shouldn't be funding

00:24:32.420 them, oh, so you're

00:24:33.300 pro-Arab, are you?

00:24:35.640 You know, no.

00:24:36.440 We're not even

00:24:36.900 funding them.

00:24:37.640 I mean, even, I

00:24:38.740 think, Starmus

00:24:39.840 stopped even the

00:24:40.820 private sales of arms

00:24:42.040 to Israel.

00:24:42.240 No, no, it was a

00:24:42.900 partial arms ban.

00:24:45.260 So, the other day, I

00:24:46.180 saw on Question

00:24:46.640 Time that Zia Yusuf 1.00

00:24:47.880 fella talking about

00:24:49.280 how we shouldn't

00:24:49.840 stop arms sales to

00:24:51.060 Israel because then 0.99

00:24:52.120 we wouldn't have any

00:24:52.740 influence with the

00:24:54.180 Netanyahu government.

00:24:55.420 We have influence

00:24:56.120 with Netanyahu.

00:24:56.800 Right, yeah.

00:24:57.180 Are you mad?

00:24:57.680 What was the

00:24:58.680 response he made to

00:24:59.820 Lammy the other day?

00:25:00.800 As much as I hate to

00:25:02.080 say, well, look, you

00:25:02.880 were supposed to go

00:25:03.460 meet with David

00:25:03.960 Lammy.

00:25:04.260 He was like, no.

00:25:04.760 Netanyahu doesn't give a

00:25:06.860 fig what our Foreign

00:25:07.760 Commonwealth Office say.

00:25:09.040 He doesn't take David

00:25:11.240 Lammy very seriously.

00:25:12.680 But put it on its

00:25:13.620 head, if it was the

00:25:14.100 other way around, if

00:25:14.840 the Scots were

00:25:16.580 occupying Newcastle,

00:25:18.240 as they have done

00:25:19.800 previously, or the

00:25:20.520 Welsh would be sieging 1.00

00:25:21.420 Bristol or something.

00:25:22.740 I don't think they

00:25:23.260 do.

00:25:23.340 Let them have that. 0.88

00:25:24.240 Or Exeter.

00:25:25.120 Even better.

00:25:25.840 I would not be

00:25:26.480 listening to Netanyahu

00:25:28.060 saying, you must stop

00:25:28.940 the violence.

00:25:29.620 I'd be like, no, be

00:25:30.500 quiet, be quiet.

00:25:31.760 This is our problem.

00:25:32.980 We've got a few

00:25:33.520 Scottish cities to 0.92

00:25:34.260 bomb. 0.96

00:25:36.780 That's going to be

00:25:37.420 taken out of

00:25:37.900 context.

00:25:38.660 Just got a Nick

00:25:39.260 Glasgow real quick.

00:25:41.040 That's a great little

00:25:41.660 clip for Hope Not

00:25:42.340 Hate.

00:25:42.700 Yeah.

00:25:43.500 Well, you know,

00:25:44.400 let's see about

00:25:44.940 context.

00:25:45.740 I like Scotland, by

00:25:46.800 the way.

00:25:47.220 Yeah, I like

00:25:47.880 Scotland.

00:25:48.480 Scots people, the 0.99

00:25:49.540 reason why I didn't

00:25:50.220 get in any real

00:25:50.860 trouble for my

00:25:51.500 Scottish things,

00:25:52.440 because nearly all

00:25:53.220 Scots have got a

00:25:53.860 sense of humour.

00:25:55.300 It's rare to find a

00:25:56.560 Scots person that

00:25:57.400 can't laugh at

00:25:58.200 themselves and Britain.

00:25:59.880 And somehow they

00:26:00.500 become leaders of the

00:26:01.280 SNP.

00:26:02.560 Oh, yeah, the odd

00:26:03.200 humorous ones.

00:26:04.120 Yeah, they do.

00:26:06.360 I don't understand.

00:26:06.960 Anyway.

00:26:07.460 So, yeah, we're not

00:26:08.480 funded by Jerusalem or

00:26:10.680 Moscow.

00:26:11.540 We are, in fact,

00:26:11.980 funded by our

00:26:12.720 brilliant, or Iran,

00:26:13.940 nor even Taiwan.

00:26:15.240 We're actually funded

00:26:16.020 by our subscribers.

00:26:17.040 Yeah, our

00:26:17.480 subscribers.

00:26:18.260 Just throwing that

00:26:18.700 one out there.

00:26:19.480 Yeah, and the odd

00:26:20.120 super chat and the odd

00:26:20.940 bit of merch.

00:26:21.500 And Islander

00:26:22.460 magazine.

00:26:23.000 See how seamless

00:26:23.420 that was, Carl?

00:26:23.880 That was, eh?

00:26:24.420 Special.

00:26:25.200 Very good.

00:26:26.120 By Islander magazine,

00:26:27.480 it's brilliant.

00:26:28.760 It's got loads of

00:26:29.160 people in it.

00:26:29.580 It's got Mr.

00:26:30.080 Carl Benjamin,

00:26:30.820 whoever he is,

00:26:31.640 is published in it.

00:26:33.140 We've got Morgoth,

00:26:34.140 great Morgoth,

00:26:34.680 Dr. Parvini,

00:26:36.160 Dave Green,

00:26:37.300 Stefan Molyneux.

00:26:38.740 It's good stuff.

00:26:39.680 It is really worth

00:26:40.460 buying, I think.

00:26:41.960 So, do you consider

00:26:42.820 purchasing this?

00:26:45.180 Oh, and

00:26:45.520 Big Josh Firm as well.

00:26:46.920 Oh, yeah.

00:26:47.420 I've heard of him.

00:26:47.980 Best till last.

00:26:48.920 Off Lotus Eaters.

00:26:50.200 That Josh Firm off Lotus. 0.95

00:26:50.900 I hate that guy. 1.00

00:26:51.680 What a scumbag. 1.00

00:26:52.160 Okay, back to 1.00

00:26:53.820 the interminable

00:26:55.760 conflict

00:26:56.860 between Israel

00:26:58.320 and all their

00:26:59.440 Arab neighbours.

00:27:01.180 So,

00:27:02.040 just this morning,

00:27:02.780 I believe it was,

00:27:03.340 or overnight,

00:27:04.760 Israel have 0.96

00:27:05.580 done some sort of

00:27:06.400 incursion into

00:27:07.100 southern Lebanon

00:27:07.720 again.

00:27:09.060 I say again

00:27:09.760 because when you look

00:27:10.400 back at the history

00:27:10.960 of it,

00:27:11.740 this happened many,

00:27:12.640 many, many times.

00:27:13.420 This isn't new.

00:27:14.600 So, one of the things

00:27:15.200 I want to do in this

00:27:15.880 segment is kind of

00:27:17.040 talk to people that

00:27:17.760 might not have all that

00:27:18.820 lot, younger people,

00:27:19.600 who might not remember

00:27:20.360 or won't remember

00:27:21.480 the early 2000s

00:27:23.440 or even the 80s

00:27:24.440 or even the 70s.

00:27:25.460 I wasn't alive in the 70s.

00:27:27.360 So,

00:27:27.780 there's a ground invasion

00:27:28.620 into southern Lebanon.

00:27:30.360 Lebanon is directly 0.80

00:27:31.180 above Israel

00:27:31.900 on the map.

00:27:33.460 So,

00:27:33.880 where to begin?

00:27:34.920 I think,

00:27:35.320 you know,

00:27:35.500 you could go back

00:27:36.140 to the very early

00:27:38.060 20th century,

00:27:38.800 World War I.

00:27:39.360 You could talk a bit

00:27:39.840 about Lawrence of Arabia

00:27:40.860 and things,

00:27:41.520 but I won't.

00:27:42.380 Let's start at the

00:27:43.120 Yom Kippur War,

00:27:43.800 1973.

00:27:45.300 So,

00:27:45.780 that was when

00:27:46.500 Israel had 1.00

00:27:47.980 all sorts of wars

00:27:49.300 with all their

00:27:50.820 neighbours sort of thing.

00:27:51.780 Well,

00:27:51.960 weren't the Arabs 1.00

00:27:52.780 in a giant coalition

00:27:55.780 that they thought

00:27:56.180 we'll invade on

00:27:56.920 Yom Kippur 0.73

00:27:57.480 because the Israelis

00:27:59.240 won't be

00:28:00.280 at their ready.

00:28:02.140 This will be when

00:28:02.560 they're on some sort

00:28:03.920 of Israeli

00:28:04.320 or Jewish holy day.

00:28:05.820 I don't know anything

00:28:06.180 about it.

00:28:06.660 Public holiday,

00:28:07.300 yeah.

00:28:07.500 Public holiday

00:28:08.140 and they'll all be

00:28:09.780 chilling out,

00:28:11.780 drinking wine

00:28:12.320 or whatever.

00:28:13.080 We'll get them.

00:28:14.020 We'll catch them

00:28:14.480 on the way.

00:28:15.040 Actually,

00:28:15.880 ever so slight,

00:28:16.460 just a side note,

00:28:17.040 I don't think I'll be

00:28:17.460 talking about this,

00:28:17.920 but actually backfired

00:28:18.900 a bit because

00:28:19.440 although for the

00:28:20.200 first few minutes

00:28:21.040 people were like,

00:28:22.360 you know,

00:28:22.580 it's like a Sunday,

00:28:23.260 like we're not ready

00:28:23.800 for business.

00:28:25.100 The fact was

00:28:25.880 all the streets

00:28:26.620 and roads were empty

00:28:27.460 so they could move

00:28:29.300 assets around

00:28:30.360 easier than any other day.

00:28:31.840 So that backfired

00:28:32.540 a bit on the Arabs.

00:28:33.380 Anyway,

00:28:34.080 during that time,

00:28:35.260 back then,

00:28:37.080 well,

00:28:37.240 they had to have

00:28:38.300 a bit of a war

00:28:38.840 with Lebanon

00:28:39.340 in the Yom Kippur

00:28:40.480 War.

00:28:41.120 But it's sort of

00:28:41.920 never-ending,

00:28:43.060 it's sort of ongoing.

00:28:44.220 I mean,

00:28:44.460 they had to do

00:28:45.120 an incursion

00:28:45.800 in the late 70s,

00:28:47.400 1978,

00:28:48.380 they bounced

00:28:48.820 across the border

00:28:49.460 into Lebanon

00:28:50.040 because Lebanon

00:28:51.440 was having

00:28:51.860 long wars.

00:28:53.380 You remember

00:28:53.620 Beirut being

00:28:54.400 just a byword

00:28:55.780 for urban conflict

00:28:57.080 when we were young,

00:28:57.740 right?

00:28:58.100 Well,

00:28:58.240 yeah,

00:28:58.400 that's because

00:28:58.840 the Muslims 0.84

00:28:59.720 were trying to 0.94

00:29:00.140 take over

00:29:00.520 a Christian country,

00:29:01.840 which they did.

00:29:03.160 And for some reason

00:29:03.680 we let it happen.

00:29:05.160 Well,

00:29:05.340 in 1982,

00:29:06.440 the Israelis

00:29:06.840 had had enough of it

00:29:07.640 and they went

00:29:08.760 all the way

00:29:09.240 to Beirut,

00:29:10.100 briefly.

00:29:11.820 They had enough

00:29:12.940 of it

00:29:13.240 in 1982.

00:29:16.120 So by sort of

00:29:16.880 1999,

00:29:17.720 the year 2000,

00:29:19.500 they'd had,

00:29:20.100 the Israelis

00:29:20.640 had put in

00:29:21.180 a security barrier,

00:29:23.540 what did they call it?

00:29:24.280 The Israeli

00:29:24.900 security zone,

00:29:27.820 is that what it was called?

00:29:29.160 Basically,

00:29:29.860 a big chunk

00:29:30.600 of southern Lebanon,

00:29:31.660 like 10%

00:29:32.220 of all Lebanon,

00:29:33.340 was just like

00:29:33.800 this demilitarised zone

00:29:34.880 imposed by the Israelis 0.99

00:29:36.180 because they

00:29:37.860 just kept firing,

00:29:38.660 the PLO

00:29:39.260 and Hezbollah

00:29:40.360 just kept firing

00:29:41.360 stuff

00:29:42.240 into Israel.

00:29:44.240 In fact,

00:29:44.780 in the 82 incursion,

00:29:46.080 that was to get

00:29:46.660 the PLO,

00:29:47.780 the Palestinian

00:29:48.320 Liberation Organisation.

00:29:50.180 So they were,

00:29:51.040 even though they're

00:29:51.740 obviously the PLO

00:29:52.480 Palestinians,

00:29:53.480 they were of course

00:29:54.060 using Lebanon

00:29:54.780 as a base.

00:29:56.300 Back then,

00:29:56.820 they would use

00:29:57.280 Syria and Jordan.

00:29:58.200 Jordan had enough

00:29:58.880 of it after a while,

00:30:00.140 just refused to have

00:30:01.040 anything to do

00:30:01.480 with the PLO.

00:30:02.420 Anyway,

00:30:02.740 that's Yasser Arafat,

00:30:03.600 that's yesteryear,

00:30:04.540 don't need to worry

00:30:04.980 about that too much.

00:30:05.560 But nowadays,

00:30:06.240 of course,

00:30:06.980 Hezbollah is completely

00:30:08.000 backed by Iran.

00:30:10.780 So it's a much

00:30:11.300 bigger conflict,

00:30:11.900 it's a more deadly

00:30:14.080 conflict in a way,

00:30:14.880 or at least potentially.

00:30:16.040 Because that is the big

00:30:16.760 worry in all of this,

00:30:17.620 to catch the chase.

00:30:18.380 The big,

00:30:18.720 big worry is that

00:30:20.040 ultimately,

00:30:21.240 there's a massive

00:30:22.080 conflagration between,

00:30:24.200 well,

00:30:24.460 the US and Iran

00:30:26.320 and then,

00:30:27.060 you know,

00:30:27.340 who knows what.

00:30:27.920 Yeah,

00:30:28.380 I mean,

00:30:28.720 like you said at the beginning,

00:30:30.860 I don't,

00:30:31.480 I'm not a supporter

00:30:32.840 of Israel

00:30:33.980 or Hezbollah,

00:30:35.360 but Hezbollah

00:30:36.560 definitely have provoked

00:30:38.240 this,

00:30:39.320 and,

00:30:39.760 you know,

00:30:41.580 at the end of the day,

00:30:42.300 you've been provoking

00:30:44.380 this for decades,

00:30:45.100 and now Israel

00:30:46.940 seem to just be

00:30:47.520 taking the gloves off

00:30:48.340 and it's like,

00:30:48.700 well,

00:30:49.880 what did you expect?

00:30:51.600 You know?

00:30:51.880 Yeah.

00:30:52.580 I shouldn't have to keep

00:30:53.360 repeating myself,

00:30:53.980 saying I'm not pro-Israel,

00:30:55.140 but,

00:30:56.960 it's a maxim of war.

00:30:58.740 Don't take on someone

00:30:59.520 that's vastly superior

00:31:00.420 to you.

00:31:01.120 Yeah.

00:31:01.900 I'm talking to Hezbollah, 1.00

00:31:03.120 you drop the ball there,

00:31:04.180 and Hamas.

00:31:07.600 And Hamas, 0.95

00:31:08.140 yeah.

00:31:08.260 And if you do

00:31:08.920 and they retaliate

00:31:10.040 in ways you can't resist,

00:31:12.340 well,

00:31:12.680 then what did you think

00:31:13.760 was going to happen?

00:31:14.640 But have you considered

00:31:15.500 that Allah is on their side?

00:31:17.160 Oh,

00:31:17.380 right,

00:31:17.500 there is that,

00:31:18.060 yeah.

00:31:18.900 Of course.

00:31:20.280 But,

00:31:20.500 you know,

00:31:20.700 it's an old thing

00:31:21.740 from Sun Tzu

00:31:23.500 to Machiavelli

00:31:24.920 to von Klauswitz.

00:31:27.180 Any military tactician

00:31:28.540 in the last 4,000 years.

00:31:30.000 Yeah.

00:31:30.420 If you've got an enemy

00:31:31.420 that is vastly superior

00:31:32.860 to you,

00:31:33.660 technically,

00:31:35.480 probably best not

00:31:37.180 to take them on

00:31:37.740 in a show of arms.

00:31:40.180 Because if they decide

00:31:41.220 they want to annihilate you, 0.50

00:31:43.000 well, 0.99

00:31:43.400 anyway,

00:31:44.300 old Nettie in Jerusalem

00:31:45.500 has obviously decided,

00:31:46.700 yeah,

00:31:46.860 the gloves are off.

00:31:47.640 Yeah.

00:31:47.840 Right.

00:31:49.220 So,

00:31:50.340 in the last month or more,

00:31:53.460 they have just assassinated,

00:31:55.000 just killed,

00:31:55.760 most of the structure,

00:31:57.560 the leadership,

00:31:57.880 the top brass of Hezbollah.

00:31:59.620 The leadership,

00:32:00.000 including the actual leader.

00:32:02.220 And this is the thing,

00:32:02.760 I don't respect

00:32:03.440 the crocodile tears

00:32:04.360 from the leftist,

00:32:06.760 third worldist types

00:32:07.840 who are like,

00:32:08.740 oh no,

00:32:09.560 they've killed 0.99

00:32:10.120 a bunch of terrorists.

00:32:12.160 It's like, 0.95

00:32:12.440 sorry,

00:32:12.600 Hamas and Hezbollah 0.98

00:32:13.260 were terrorists. 0.96

00:32:13.860 They've been terrorists

00:32:14.320 for years.

00:32:15.340 They've,

00:32:15.620 you know,

00:32:15.940 they kill civilians, 0.89

00:32:17.380 that's what they do, 0.65

00:32:18.040 and they're trying to

00:32:19.060 overthrow Israel. 0.97

00:32:19.860 And it's like,

00:32:20.140 okay,

00:32:20.360 fair enough,

00:32:20.720 that's what they're doing.

00:32:22.300 I'm not going to

00:32:22.840 weep for them

00:32:23.300 now that Israel's 0.89

00:32:23.960 just wiped a bunch

00:32:24.780 of them out.

00:32:25.960 Yeah,

00:32:26.180 so on there,

00:32:26.640 you can see the extent

00:32:27.640 of it.

00:32:29.680 Yeah.

00:32:30.600 So,

00:32:31.040 if we actually could go

00:32:31.680 back to the other link

00:32:32.440 and actually play,

00:32:33.040 it's just about

00:32:33.400 two minutes long.

00:32:35.680 That one,

00:32:36.220 can we play this?

00:32:37.880 We don't even need to

00:32:39.000 Hezbollah has suffered

00:32:39.400 a string of blows

00:32:40.520 to its command structure

00:32:41.800 over the last fortnight,

00:32:43.100 culminating in the killing

00:32:44.460 of its elusive leader,

00:32:45.620 Hassan Nasrallah,

00:32:46.540 on Friday.

00:32:47.520 So,

00:32:47.800 how did the Israel

00:32:48.720 defence forces

00:32:50.220 manage to track him down

00:32:51.820 and how have they been able

00:32:53.040 to target so many

00:32:54.560 of Hezbollah's top commanders?

00:32:56.560 Well,

00:32:56.680 our security correspondent,

00:32:57.760 Frank Gardner,

00:32:58.580 has been looking into it.

00:32:59.520 Frank.

00:33:01.140 Well,

00:33:01.700 targeting the Hezbollah leader,

00:33:03.280 Hassan Nasrallah,

00:33:04.300 was a strategic decision

00:33:06.200 by Israel.

00:33:07.460 In hiding for years,

00:33:08.540 he'd long been in Israel's sights.

00:33:10.440 So,

00:33:10.840 how did they do it?

00:33:13.140 Israeli intelligence

00:33:14.060 was already widely assumed

00:33:15.980 to be behind

00:33:16.940 the lethal sabotage

00:33:18.420 of all those thousands

00:33:19.820 of Hezbollah's pagers

00:33:21.060 and walkie-talkies.

00:33:22.820 The Mossad,

00:33:23.680 that's Israel's 0.80

00:33:24.460 overseas spy agency,

00:33:26.340 is thought to have

00:33:26.980 inserted explosives

00:33:28.100 into the supply chain.

00:33:29.940 Now,

00:33:30.080 that was almost

00:33:30.520 a fortnight ago.

00:33:32.240 What's transpired

00:33:33.300 since then

00:33:34.020 is that Israel's 0.69

00:33:35.460 penetration

00:33:36.140 of the Hezbollah command structure

00:33:38.340 goes deeper still?

00:33:39.920 Just have a look at this pyramid here.

00:33:43.360 The Israeli military

00:33:44.520 says that it has assassinated

00:33:46.580 all of these senior

00:33:48.220 Hezbollah commanders.

00:33:49.580 so just how has this Israeli campaign

00:33:53.060 been able to penetrate

00:33:54.520 Hezbollah's security

00:33:55.560 so comprehensively?

00:33:57.180 It certainly looks like

00:33:59.580 something that would have been

00:34:00.780 put together over

00:34:01.700 probably years.

00:34:03.000 Okay, can we stop playing that?

00:34:03.560 It would have been built up

00:34:04.860 from...

00:34:05.900 We get it.

00:34:07.180 Yeah.

00:34:07.900 Mossad are sort of...

00:34:09.300 You've got to give them credit.

00:34:10.260 Masters of what they do.

00:34:11.180 Clearly the best

00:34:11.740 of what they do.

00:34:12.980 So,

00:34:13.880 if I could just quickly

00:34:15.360 click on that...

00:34:16.620 Well,

00:34:17.700 my house isn't working.

00:34:18.660 On the one that I said

00:34:19.360 structure eliminated.

00:34:20.380 Again, look at that pyramid.

00:34:23.160 Yeah, so there's a guy

00:34:23.820 directly under there

00:34:24.560 Feld Shakur.

00:34:26.100 Feld Shakur?

00:34:27.240 Yeah.

00:34:28.180 So, they got him

00:34:29.000 I think at the end of July

00:34:30.040 and what they were able to do

00:34:32.540 was just tap into his smartphone

00:34:33.920 and or his laptop

00:34:34.740 or whatever

00:34:35.280 and just know exactly

00:34:36.720 where he was

00:34:37.340 on the top floor

00:34:37.920 of a particular building

00:34:38.820 drop a JDAM

00:34:40.140 or some sort of

00:34:40.840 intelligent munition

00:34:42.240 through that 0.96

00:34:42.720 and blow it up 1.00

00:34:43.180 and kill him. 1.00

00:34:44.400 So, from there 0.99

00:34:45.320 Hezbollah obviously realised 0.97

00:34:47.240 that all their devices

00:34:48.460 were compromised.

00:34:50.060 So, that's why

00:34:50.940 they went back

00:34:51.680 to low-tech stuff.

00:34:52.920 I did think to myself

00:34:53.700 who uses pages anymore?

00:34:55.900 Well, people who don't

00:34:56.520 want to get blown up

00:34:57.080 by is right.

00:34:57.420 Right.

00:34:58.040 So, that's a moment

00:34:58.520 in terms of the early 90s

00:34:59.940 was pages.

00:35:00.800 Yeah.

00:35:01.080 Right?

00:35:01.800 Like 1992

00:35:02.380 people had pages.

00:35:03.980 Who has pages these days?

00:35:05.380 Anyway,

00:35:05.780 well it's because

00:35:06.300 all their smartphones

00:35:07.240 and stuff was compromised.

00:35:08.000 So, they went back

00:35:08.840 to using walkie-talkies

00:35:10.040 and even pages

00:35:10.940 and they went to

00:35:13.340 buy them

00:35:14.040 from a company

00:35:14.840 in Hungary

00:35:15.380 I believe

00:35:15.920 and Hungary

00:35:16.680 was actually

00:35:17.080 sourcing them

00:35:17.700 originally from Taiwan.

00:35:19.300 Right.

00:35:19.700 Right?

00:35:20.120 And so, somehow

00:35:21.160 Mossad

00:35:22.640 got wind of all this

00:35:23.620 Right.

00:35:24.260 and intercepted

00:35:26.060 the shipment

00:35:26.460 of these things

00:35:27.260 from Taiwan

00:35:28.060 to Hungary

00:35:28.660 replaced loads

00:35:29.640 of batteries

00:35:30.140 with little

00:35:30.700 20 gram

00:35:31.580 bits of explosive

00:35:33.040 then let them

00:35:34.820 go on to Hungary 0.97

00:35:35.520 and then Hungary

00:35:36.620 give them

00:35:37.180 sell them

00:35:37.840 to Hezbollah

00:35:39.100 in Lebanon

00:35:39.580 and then

00:35:40.920 when they're ready

00:35:41.720 they play

00:35:43.140 that clip 0.50

00:35:43.540 actually

00:35:43.800 Samson

00:35:44.160 it's not

00:35:45.620 too graphic

00:35:46.540 but it is

00:35:47.160 there's loads

00:35:48.980 of clips

00:35:49.280 like this

00:35:49.600 so you can see

00:35:50.000 people getting

00:35:50.520 hurt

00:35:51.420 anyway that's enough

00:35:52.960 you don't need to

00:35:53.380 see any more

00:35:53.700 it's just

00:35:53.960 there's no more

00:35:54.440 yeah they just

00:35:55.420 they did that

00:35:56.380 so

00:35:56.720 so yeah

00:35:58.380 it just seems

00:35:59.000 that in the

00:36:00.080 Israeli cabinet

00:36:01.080 they've decided

00:36:02.300 we're going to

00:36:04.360 do whatever

00:36:05.020 whatever it takes

00:36:06.440 whatever we need

00:36:06.960 to do

00:36:07.360 because also

00:36:09.120 the Hamas

00:36:09.600 leadership

00:36:10.000 has been

00:36:10.480 sort of

00:36:11.160 terribly

00:36:11.600 destroyed

00:36:13.060 and killed 0.97

00:36:13.520 as well 0.95

00:36:13.860 haven't they

00:36:14.260 so on the

00:36:16.800 Douglas Murray

00:36:17.980 did it

00:36:18.260 I mentioned

00:36:18.600 Douglas Murray

00:36:19.060 earlier

00:36:19.400 didn't I

00:36:19.740 being so

00:36:20.320 anti-Islam

00:36:21.460 he's almost

00:36:21.940 pro-Israel

00:36:24.460 but

00:36:24.900 it's still quite

00:36:26.400 funny

00:36:26.680 for him to

00:36:28.100 dig at

00:36:28.280 I had this

00:36:28.960 debate with

00:36:29.880 someone on

00:36:30.260 Twitter

00:36:30.560 someone who I

00:36:31.560 like so it's

00:36:31.980 no dig at

00:36:33.000 them

00:36:33.200 and they

00:36:34.380 were saying

00:36:34.700 it's weird

00:36:35.840 for us

00:36:36.460 to

00:36:37.000 revel in

00:36:38.540 Israeli

00:36:39.260 wins

00:36:40.140 in any

00:36:40.600 way

00:36:40.820 because

00:36:42.840 the Israelis

00:36:43.300 aren't our

00:36:43.960 allies or

00:36:44.400 anything

00:36:44.580 and I get

00:36:45.920 the point

00:36:46.220 I understand

00:36:46.640 their point

00:36:47.120 but you know

00:36:48.180 seeing militant

00:36:49.200 Islamists

00:36:49.780 get their 0.99

00:36:50.160 comeuppance

00:36:50.780 yeah I mean

00:36:51.880 these aren't

00:36:52.280 good people

00:36:53.700 yeah right

00:36:54.180 yeah yeah

00:36:54.580 you don't have

00:36:56.440 to agree the

00:36:56.860 Israelis are 1.00

00:36:57.320 good people

00:36:57.680 right

00:36:57.940 it's not a

00:36:58.700 zero-sum game

00:36:59.440 no it's not

00:37:00.000 I've got enough

00:37:00.360 enmity in my

00:37:01.020 heart for both

00:37:01.480 sides

00:37:01.820 yeah no I'm

00:37:05.180 an Englishman

00:37:05.720 with an RAF

00:37:06.640 themed tyre

00:37:07.260 Celtic themed

00:37:08.160 cufflinks

00:37:09.000 so I

00:37:11.060 so no I

00:37:12.280 don't I don't

00:37:12.900 I don't pick a

00:37:13.400 side but yeah

00:37:14.320 it's still funny

00:37:14.940 for Douglas

00:37:15.400 Murray to sort

00:37:16.060 of dig at

00:37:16.800 Jeremy Corbyn

00:37:17.400 and George

00:37:18.140 Galloway I mean

00:37:18.760 George Galloway

00:37:19.200 was literally

00:37:19.640 he's got me

00:37:20.040 blocked I can't

00:37:20.700 see what he's

00:37:21.040 saying but I

00:37:21.400 can imagine

00:37:21.720 he's weeping

00:37:22.340 well Corbyn's

00:37:23.220 got you blocked

00:37:23.680 no no Galloway

00:37:24.600 oh right okay

00:37:25.420 I've never even

00:37:26.300 tweeted him

00:37:26.780 he's literally

00:37:27.600 he was literally

00:37:28.240 friends with

00:37:28.700 Hamas leadership

00:37:29.280 met with

00:37:29.980 Hezbollah and

00:37:30.580 stuff so

00:37:31.000 as bad as

00:37:31.560 Jeremy Corbyn

00:37:32.320 if not worse

00:37:32.860 so yeah

00:37:33.480 all right so

00:37:35.380 it comes down

00:37:36.020 then to just

00:37:37.160 if you could

00:37:37.680 Samson just

00:37:38.620 click through

00:37:39.020 those various

00:37:39.560 links relatively

00:37:40.080 quickly just

00:37:40.460 what the

00:37:40.700 mainstream media

00:37:41.280 is saying

00:37:41.560 you know BBC

00:37:42.480 News has

00:37:42.940 obviously got

00:37:43.440 almost a

00:37:44.260 minute by

00:37:44.580 minute feed

00:37:45.180 you know

00:37:46.360 this is the

00:37:47.280 news war

00:37:48.080 happy now

00:37:48.920 yeah I mean

00:37:49.940 the media

00:37:50.820 loves the

00:37:51.260 clicks

00:37:51.580 yeah

00:37:52.300 nice Brasso

00:37:53.540 reference there

00:37:54.180 cheers

00:37:54.780 and well so

00:37:57.720 the overall

00:37:58.520 thing to say

00:37:59.240 about it

00:37:59.720 really is

00:38:00.760 that there's

00:38:01.660 no there's

00:38:02.220 no end

00:38:02.560 in sight

00:38:03.020 it's an

00:38:04.120 endless sort

00:38:04.760 of desert

00:38:05.280 feud

00:38:05.780 racial

00:38:06.640 religious

00:38:07.160 and over

00:38:08.340 land

00:38:08.880 quite literally

00:38:09.700 that's all

00:38:10.320 due to the

00:38:10.920 Middle East

00:38:11.360 isn't it

00:38:11.840 my goodness

00:38:13.020 until Iran 0.80

00:38:14.100 and the

00:38:15.820 terrorist

00:38:16.520 proxies

00:38:17.240 give up the

00:38:18.460 hope of

00:38:18.900 defeating Israel 0.91

00:38:19.660 or Israel

00:38:20.820 give up the

00:38:21.320 hope of their

00:38:21.800 being in Israel

00:38:22.540 it will never

00:38:23.040 end and

00:38:23.340 neither of

00:38:23.640 those things

00:38:24.040 will happen

00:38:25.220 or extremely

00:38:26.040 unlikely to

00:38:26.740 happen

00:38:27.060 I don't see

00:38:28.200 an end in

00:38:29.000 sight

00:38:29.220 it's an

00:38:29.600 immovable

00:38:30.080 object

00:38:30.720 versus an

00:38:32.000 unstoppable

00:38:32.300 force

00:38:32.840 neither side

00:38:33.660 sort of

00:38:34.040 can give

00:38:34.640 in

00:38:34.900 right

00:38:35.940 neither side

00:38:37.000 particularly

00:38:37.880 see it in

00:38:39.380 their interest

00:38:39.900 to even

00:38:40.360 come to the

00:38:40.820 table

00:38:41.220 I would

00:38:42.300 hazard

00:38:43.140 that the

00:38:44.700 Islamic

00:38:46.340 regime in

00:38:46.940 Iran

00:38:47.260 is more

00:38:47.860 likely to

00:38:48.400 collapse

00:38:48.840 before they

00:38:49.760 defeat Israel 0.90

00:38:50.480 so

00:38:51.420 I would say

00:38:52.360 the same

00:38:52.720 to be honest

00:38:53.240 I think it's

00:38:53.780 entirely possible

00:38:54.300 in the next

00:38:54.700 20 years

00:38:55.500 or something

00:38:55.960 the mullahs

00:38:57.140 get overthrown

00:38:57.820 and the

00:38:58.680 money dries

00:38:59.220 up

00:38:59.600 so it

00:39:01.260 could well

00:39:01.640 be that

00:39:02.080 it does

00:39:02.840 come to

00:39:03.220 an end

00:39:03.540 but it's

00:39:04.280 not going

00:39:04.600 to be

00:39:04.780 willingly

00:39:05.180 yeah

00:39:05.880 right

00:39:06.220 and of

00:39:07.200 course we

00:39:07.420 all know

00:39:07.840 that the

00:39:08.660 US

00:39:09.100 even under

00:39:10.560 Trump

00:39:10.940 is entirely

00:39:12.560 in Israel's

00:39:13.640 column

00:39:13.980 on this

00:39:14.500 I mean

00:39:15.440 Trump's got

00:39:16.020 a real

00:39:16.340 almost a

00:39:16.920 personal

00:39:17.400 boggle

00:39:18.040 with Tehran

00:39:19.140 hasn't

00:39:19.380 it

00:39:19.560 yeah

00:39:20.020 they're trying

00:39:21.120 to assassinate 0.70

00:39:21.700 him 0.84

00:39:21.940 and he

00:39:22.340 he strikes 0.87

00:39:23.140 their guys

00:39:23.620 when he was

00:39:24.000 in power

00:39:24.420 and stuff

00:39:24.900 yeah

00:39:25.180 Trump seems

00:39:26.440 to make

00:39:26.720 everything

00:39:26.980 personal

00:39:27.360 I mean

00:39:27.960 if we

00:39:28.480 remember

00:39:28.840 the

00:39:29.060 Qasem Soleimani

00:39:30.200 assassination

00:39:30.660 that was

00:39:31.120 Trump

00:39:31.480 dropping

00:39:32.320 smart

00:39:32.660 munitions

00:39:33.160 on one

00:39:33.940 of their

00:39:34.320 leading

00:39:34.740 militarists

00:39:35.520 and 0.84

00:39:36.680 blowing him 0.99

00:39:38.320 to bits

00:39:38.660 so he's

00:39:39.320 Trump's

00:39:39.780 prepared to

00:39:40.340 pull the

00:39:40.580 trigger on

00:39:40.960 stuff

00:39:41.260 absolutely

00:39:42.140 he's got

00:39:42.960 no problem

00:39:44.080 with that

00:39:44.740 unlike the

00:39:45.540 Obama

00:39:46.080 administration

00:39:46.940 who was

00:39:47.640 like

00:39:47.840 why don't

00:39:48.280 we just

00:39:48.520 give them

00:39:48.780 loads of

00:39:49.100 money

00:39:49.380 although

00:39:52.400 Obama was

00:39:53.440 not shy

00:39:53.980 in bombing

00:39:54.720 countries

00:39:55.580 to be fair

00:39:56.020 no but

00:39:56.300 with the

00:39:56.680 Iranians 0.58

00:39:57.120 in particular

00:39:57.500 he's like

00:39:57.820 we need to

00:39:58.120 give them

00:39:58.340 money

00:39:58.620 very strange

00:40:00.440 isn't it

00:40:00.860 country that's

00:40:02.120 actively hostile

00:40:02.740 to us

00:40:03.160 when Trump

00:40:03.720 started giving

00:40:04.140 them money

00:40:04.480 they all screamed

00:40:05.180 oh my god

00:40:05.860 how can you

00:40:06.380 stop giving

00:40:07.160 Iran money

00:40:07.720 that's really

00:40:08.360 weird

00:40:08.680 how it works

00:40:09.760 so we've been

00:40:10.400 sharing our

00:40:10.960 nuclear secrets

00:40:11.700 with North Korea

00:40:12.500 yeah

00:40:12.980 so one of the

00:40:13.880 last points I

00:40:14.460 would make

00:40:14.880 is just

00:40:16.320 this

00:40:16.560 the possibility

00:40:17.320 of the

00:40:17.840 well there's

00:40:18.360 Soleimani's

00:40:19.060 the ring

00:40:21.320 the very

00:40:21.840 distinctive ring

00:40:22.400 he wore

00:40:22.880 so that we're

00:40:23.780 able to

00:40:24.140 identify his

00:40:24.980 destroyed corpse

00:40:26.960 a bit grim

00:40:28.580 anyways

00:40:29.400 the biggest thing

00:40:31.100 is a possible

00:40:32.460 massive war

00:40:33.800 with basically

00:40:35.460 the US

00:40:35.820 versus Iran 0.98

00:40:36.500 now

00:40:38.200 the Iranians

00:40:39.100 have been

00:40:39.320 threatening this

00:40:39.840 for many many

00:40:40.360 years and

00:40:40.820 nothing's

00:40:41.140 happened

00:40:41.480 there's a

00:40:44.240 cold war

00:40:44.680 it's not even

00:40:45.000 all that cold

00:40:45.520 is it

00:40:45.800 but there's

00:40:46.380 obviously an

00:40:46.860 ongoing cold

00:40:47.480 war with them 1.00

00:40:48.120 it's not even

00:40:49.120 a cold war

00:40:49.520 it's basically

00:40:49.920 a sort of

00:40:50.380 guerrilla proxy

00:40:51.140 war

00:40:51.480 and it's like

00:40:53.240 okay

00:40:54.020 but the

00:40:54.680 Iranians are 0.99

00:40:55.240 clearly losing

00:40:55.900 it

00:40:56.240 and it's

00:40:57.760 because they're

00:40:58.640 clearly picking

00:40:59.300 a fight with

00:41:00.040 powers that are

00:41:01.580 just far beyond

00:41:02.600 what Iran is 0.78

00:41:03.480 capable of

00:41:04.160 so it's

00:41:05.060 pretty inevitable

00:41:06.640 how this is

00:41:07.300 going to go

00:41:07.820 they're out

00:41:08.800 classed

00:41:09.620 they're out

00:41:09.820 matched

00:41:10.240 by just

00:41:11.480 orders of

00:41:12.020 magnitude

00:41:12.420 so Hezbollah 0.98

00:41:14.580 aren't able to

00:41:15.560 contest the

00:41:16.240 skies with

00:41:17.140 Israel right 0.98

00:41:17.780 they've got

00:41:18.160 no fast jets

00:41:19.140 there's no

00:41:20.300 dogfights between

00:41:21.060 Hezbollah fast jets

00:41:21.980 and the Israeli

00:41:22.740 air force

00:41:23.120 it reminds me of

00:41:23.920 Mithridates

00:41:24.480 the Clearing War

00:41:25.140 in Rome

00:41:25.560 you're not even

00:41:28.040 on the same

00:41:28.440 continent as the

00:41:29.600 Romans

00:41:29.900 you're never

00:41:30.660 going to get

00:41:31.060 to Rome

00:41:31.480 you're never

00:41:31.760 going to win

00:41:32.180 the war

00:41:32.740 the best you

00:41:33.880 could get

00:41:34.300 is for them

00:41:35.060 to just be like

00:41:35.480 oh it's not

00:41:35.840 worth the time

00:41:36.440 for them to

00:41:37.700 wander off and

00:41:38.260 do something

00:41:38.560 else

00:41:38.800 you can't

00:41:39.760 win there

00:41:40.220 so the

00:41:41.960 Israelis for 0.91

00:41:42.480 one example

00:41:42.980 the Israelis

00:41:43.420 will use

00:41:43.740 satellites just

00:41:44.800 to be watching

00:41:45.860 Lebanon the

00:41:46.460 whole time

00:41:46.780 or Gaza

00:41:47.340 or wherever

00:41:47.760 it is

00:41:48.000 wherever they

00:41:48.340 want

00:41:48.600 just watching

00:41:49.540 it the

00:41:49.800 whole time

00:41:50.340 and then

00:41:51.860 they'll just

00:41:52.480 relay things

00:41:53.140 back in real

00:41:53.700 time to

00:41:54.320 unmanned

00:41:55.160 drones

00:41:55.560 or actual

00:41:56.340 fast jets

00:41:57.000 pinpoint

00:41:58.260 stuff

00:41:58.860 and then

00:41:59.920 when Hezbollah 0.75

00:42:01.320 are going to

00:42:01.980 do a

00:42:02.260 counter strike

00:42:02.840 they're ready

00:42:03.220 to strike

00:42:03.640 that counter

00:42:04.100 strike

00:42:04.380 Hezbollah

00:42:06.060 can't win

00:42:06.580 this in a

00:42:07.080 military sense

00:42:08.000 the Arab

00:42:11.260 way of war

00:42:12.240 is old

00:42:13.460 fashioned

00:42:13.940 and it

00:42:15.940 doesn't fit

00:42:16.560 in the modern

00:42:16.920 era

00:42:17.180 and none

00:42:18.020 of that is

00:42:18.480 to be simping

00:42:19.200 for Netanyahu

00:42:19.900 to be clear

00:42:20.580 just saying the

00:42:21.880 facts

00:42:22.380 right

00:42:22.760 it's just the

00:42:23.280 facts

00:42:23.660 just how it

00:42:24.340 is

00:42:24.680 okay

00:42:24.980 so the

00:42:25.360 very last

00:42:25.760 thing I

00:42:25.940 just want

00:42:26.180 to say

00:42:26.460 is that

00:42:26.880 yeah

00:42:27.460 again

00:42:27.740 the main

00:42:28.080 worry

00:42:28.320 is that

00:42:28.720 Israel

00:42:29.100 draws the

00:42:30.160 US

00:42:30.560 into some

00:42:31.080 sort of

00:42:31.380 big thing

00:42:31.940 with Iran

00:42:32.580 and ever

00:42:33.960 since the

00:42:34.600 October 6th

00:42:35.800 or is it

00:42:36.000 October 7th

00:42:36.760 October 7th

00:42:37.720 ever since

00:42:39.180 then literally

00:42:39.540 like that day

00:42:40.160 or the next

00:42:40.600 day people

00:42:41.040 were saying

00:42:41.300 oh it's

00:42:41.840 going to be

00:42:42.080 World War 3

00:42:42.720 I thought

00:42:43.720 you know

00:42:44.020 that's

00:42:44.420 still a long

00:42:45.080 way off

00:42:45.500 and I still

00:42:45.940 think it's

00:42:46.400 a long way

00:42:46.740 off

00:42:46.960 I don't

00:42:48.000 think it's

00:42:48.360 inevitable

00:42:48.740 though

00:42:49.260 I mean

00:42:51.160 I mean

00:42:51.700 the same way

00:42:52.960 that nothing

00:42:53.420 is

00:42:53.700 sorry

00:42:56.580 I think

00:42:56.880 it's

00:42:57.040 a possibility

00:42:59.720 at some

00:43:00.320 point in

00:43:00.620 the future

00:43:01.040 that in

00:43:01.940 the end

00:43:02.420 it's the

00:43:03.540 US Air

00:43:04.220 Force

00:43:04.540 is bombing

00:43:05.980 Iran

00:43:06.360 or joint

00:43:08.280 US Israeli

00:43:09.280 Air Force

00:43:09.840 doing hundreds

00:43:11.160 of fast jet

00:43:12.160 sorties

00:43:12.780 into Iran

00:43:13.740 that's possible

00:43:16.340 I get the

00:43:17.420 feeling that

00:43:17.860 the Iranian

00:43:18.440 regime

00:43:19.880 realises

00:43:20.420 because as I

00:43:21.320 understand it

00:43:21.800 they're quite

00:43:22.440 unpopular

00:43:22.860 in Iran

00:43:23.260 and people

00:43:25.980 generally don't

00:43:27.080 seem to support

00:43:27.660 them

00:43:27.880 so I always

00:43:29.280 wonder are they

00:43:29.940 afraid of engaging

00:43:31.000 into a major

00:43:31.580 conflict because

00:43:32.480 they'll just find

00:43:33.980 themselves

00:43:34.280 ousted

00:43:34.640 they've got a

00:43:36.940 police state

00:43:37.500 essentially

00:43:37.960 some type of

00:43:39.060 police state

00:43:39.580 it's not a

00:43:40.740 full-blown

00:43:41.140 Stalinist

00:43:41.940 1950s thing

00:43:43.320 but it's also

00:43:43.980 it just seems to

00:43:44.720 be deeply

00:43:45.040 unpopular with

00:43:45.740 the average

00:43:46.440 person in

00:43:46.940 Iran

00:43:47.140 well a lot

00:43:48.020 of Iranians

00:43:48.680 that I've

00:43:49.340 spoke to

00:43:49.880 that are

00:43:50.600 fresh out

00:43:50.980 of the

00:43:51.200 country

00:43:51.580 are quite

00:43:52.480 westernised

00:43:53.240 already

00:43:53.800 it's quite

00:43:55.100 surprising

00:43:55.560 really

00:43:55.840 I thought

00:43:56.100 ok

00:43:56.360 but then I

00:43:57.000 suppose that

00:43:57.680 before the

00:43:58.680 revolution

00:43:59.720 they were

00:44:00.400 western

00:44:01.280 aligned

00:44:01.640 weren't they

00:44:01.940 Iran's one 1.00

00:44:02.400 of the weird

00:44:02.980 events of the

00:44:04.040 20th century

00:44:04.600 I would say

00:44:05.020 because the

00:44:05.520 Iranians are 0.99

00:44:06.120 the least 0.89

00:44:06.800 likely people

00:44:07.660 to become

00:44:08.100 Islamic militants

00:44:09.200 you would think

00:44:11.240 you know

00:44:11.560 until the

00:44:12.140 revolution

00:44:12.520 so it's just

00:44:13.180 like ok

00:44:13.600 that's weird

00:44:14.200 so the

00:44:14.700 Islamic

00:44:14.900 revolution

00:44:15.260 in Iran

00:44:15.540 was only

00:44:15.820 1979

00:44:16.560 so before

00:44:17.920 that they

00:44:18.180 had the

00:44:18.520 Shah 0.92

00:44:18.740 they had

00:44:18.960 a king

00:44:19.220 essentially

00:44:19.480 and he

00:44:20.280 was

00:44:20.580 again

00:44:21.220 it wasn't

00:44:21.560 I don't

00:44:21.740 think

00:44:21.860 it was

00:44:23.660 all that

00:44:23.900 popular

00:44:24.120 among the

00:44:24.460 Iranian

00:44:24.660 people

00:44:24.920 either

00:44:25.260 but he

00:44:25.800 wasn't

00:44:26.100 but yeah

00:44:26.940 they were

00:44:27.420 sort of

00:44:27.720 western

00:44:28.120 aligned

00:44:28.680 before the

00:44:29.500 Islamic

00:44:30.000 revolution

00:44:30.480 went full

00:44:31.320 blown

00:44:31.680 Islamist 0.81

00:44:33.240 and now

00:44:34.380 and now

00:44:34.880 we're dealing

00:44:35.320 with whatever

00:44:36.340 we're dealing

00:44:36.800 with so

00:44:37.460 just have to

00:44:39.180 keep watching

00:44:39.800 it but I

00:44:40.160 just hope

00:44:40.600 I just hope

00:44:41.260 Britain

00:44:41.640 NATO or

00:44:43.700 even the

00:44:44.140 British Army

00:44:44.620 doesn't ever

00:44:45.420 ever get

00:44:46.060 involved in

00:44:47.380 this in

00:44:47.760 this what is

00:44:48.160 this desert

00:44:48.800 feud

00:44:49.220 thing

00:44:50.300 I don't

00:44:51.080 try to get

00:44:51.680 out of it

00:44:52.140 yeah it's not

00:44:52.940 in English

00:44:53.540 interest or even

00:44:54.280 British interests

00:44:55.020 in any way

00:44:55.980 shape or form

00:44:56.660 and I won't

00:44:58.580 take a side

00:44:59.140 so anyway

00:44:59.800 that's that

00:45:00.500 of course

00:45:03.520 there you

00:45:05.080 go

00:45:05.340 so

00:45:07.760 this is

00:45:09.480 going to

00:45:09.680 surprise

00:45:09.940 everyone

00:45:10.260 but

00:45:10.620 oh sorry

00:45:11.540 do you need

00:45:11.820 to see a few

00:45:12.260 they're going

00:45:13.400 to steal

00:45:13.720 the

00:45:13.880 oh yeah

00:45:14.880 sure

00:45:15.140 sorry

00:45:15.420 I better

00:45:15.600 do that

00:45:16.020 Wimpel 0.94

00:45:17.040 Seeker

00:45:17.240 says

00:45:17.540 Bo borrowed 0.98

00:45:18.080 your hat

00:45:18.460 and looked

00:45:18.720 like a

00:45:18.940 proper

00:45:19.160 Florida

00:45:19.440 man

00:45:19.680 with that

00:45:19.920 MAGA hat

00:45:20.300 on

00:45:20.480 you did

00:45:21.680 Roughneck

00:45:23.780 says

00:45:24.100 to paraphrase

00:45:24.740 Kanye

00:45:25.080 FEMA doesn't

00:45:25.720 care about 0.99

00:45:26.020 white people

00:45:26.520 Russian

00:45:27.920 says

00:45:28.380 you can't

00:45:29.480 use

00:45:29.640 federal

00:45:29.880 troops

00:45:30.160 for a

00:45:30.340 natural

00:45:30.520 disaster

00:45:30.960 I guess

00:45:31.620 the 101st

00:45:32.860 Airborne

00:45:33.200 is only

00:45:33.580 for putting

00:45:34.120 bayonets

00:45:34.640 in the

00:45:34.840 backs

00:45:35.060 of

00:45:35.260 I have

00:45:36.280 no idea

00:45:36.820 what you're

00:45:37.040 talking about

00:45:37.440 there

00:45:37.640 Russian

00:45:38.020 but

00:45:38.460 anyway

00:45:38.940 it's not

00:45:41.540 going to

00:45:41.720 surprise

00:45:41.960 anyone to

00:45:42.440 know that

00:45:42.760 the Democrats

00:45:43.280 are planning

00:45:43.760 on fortifying

00:45:44.500 the 2024

00:45:46.000 presidential

00:45:46.660 election

00:45:47.140 we'll be

00:45:48.600 covering this

00:45:49.080 live by the

00:45:49.640 way on

00:45:49.860 lowseas.com

00:45:50.580 so we'll

00:45:51.480 watch the

00:45:51.900 fix as it

00:45:52.480 comes in

00:45:53.120 like we did

00:45:54.220 last time

00:45:54.700 actually

00:45:55.000 because it's

00:45:57.080 just remarkable

00:45:57.620 how you know

00:45:58.340 the F graph

00:45:59.620 it's going to

00:46:01.460 be something

00:46:01.780 like that

00:46:02.320 basically

00:46:02.880 I think it's

00:46:03.500 going to be

00:46:03.800 different in

00:46:04.640 its nature

00:46:05.080 this time

00:46:05.500 around

00:46:05.740 because I've

00:46:06.820 seen

00:46:07.180 like the

00:46:08.880 mail-in ballots

00:46:09.900 were down

00:46:10.480 massively

00:46:11.200 which was

00:46:12.140 their main

00:46:12.680 advantage

00:46:13.140 last time

00:46:13.820 and I think

00:46:14.860 that what

00:46:15.240 they're trying

00:46:15.660 to rely on

00:46:16.100 this time

00:46:16.540 is just

00:46:16.860 bussing in

00:46:17.500 lots of

00:46:17.880 illegals 0.93

00:46:18.280 and I think

00:46:18.580 that's part

00:46:18.940 of the reason

00:46:19.260 why those

00:46:19.860 Haitians were 1.00

00:46:20.520 just dropped

00:46:20.880 in a random

00:46:21.340 Ohio town

00:46:22.000 we'll get to

00:46:23.020 that in a

00:46:23.300 minute

00:46:23.460 but before we

00:46:24.520 do

00:46:24.800 go and get

00:46:25.480 Island Magazine

00:46:26.380 it's only going

00:46:26.880 to be there

00:46:27.100 for about a

00:46:27.460 week or so

00:46:28.180 left

00:46:28.640 and check out

00:46:30.100 my article

00:46:30.680 in particular

00:46:31.260 which is called

00:46:32.140 The Lifting of

00:46:32.720 the Veil

00:46:33.080 because I'm

00:46:33.600 talking in it

00:46:34.400 about how

00:46:34.860 we're crossing

00:46:35.420 a threshold

00:46:36.120 we have

00:46:36.780 arrived in a

00:46:37.440 new place

00:46:37.980 where the

00:46:39.120 scales are

00:46:39.980 falling from

00:46:40.340 everyone's eyes

00:46:40.940 and it's

00:46:41.500 becoming deeply

00:46:42.280 apparent

00:46:42.840 that I'm

00:46:44.760 right about

00:46:45.280 this frankly

00:46:45.900 so go and

00:46:46.960 get it

00:46:47.160 it's really

00:46:47.440 good

00:46:47.680 because I'm

00:46:48.660 not even

00:46:48.920 joking

00:46:49.200 this is

00:46:49.780 just

00:46:49.980 the

00:46:50.420 overt nature

00:46:53.600 of the

00:46:54.100 fortification

00:46:54.720 is just so

00:46:55.560 out in the

00:46:55.820 open

00:46:56.040 like this

00:46:56.500 is Merrick

00:46:56.880 Garland

00:46:57.200 right

00:46:57.540 and as

00:46:58.440 Kyle Beck

00:46:59.020 as well

00:46:59.260 he's making

00:46:59.720 it clear

00:46:59.960 the Biden

00:47:00.300 regime

00:47:00.580 in terms

00:47:00.860 to cheat

00:47:01.100 honestly I

00:47:02.560 don't know

00:47:02.800 how you're

00:47:03.120 supposed to

00:47:03.600 take this

00:47:04.240 if not

00:47:04.640 the right

00:47:05.620 to vote

00:47:06.400 is still

00:47:08.080 under attack

00:47:09.020 and that is

00:47:10.660 why the

00:47:11.040 Justice Department

00:47:11.900 is fighting

00:47:12.380 back

00:47:12.800 that is why

00:47:13.700 one of the

00:47:14.080 first things

00:47:14.660 I did

00:47:15.120 when I came

00:47:15.640 into office

00:47:16.180 was to

00:47:16.800 double the

00:47:17.380 size of

00:47:18.000 the voting

00:47:18.400 section

00:47:18.900 of the

00:47:19.620 Civil Rights

00:47:20.140 Division

00:47:20.560 that is why

00:47:22.180 we are

00:47:22.560 challenging

00:47:23.020 efforts by

00:47:23.900 states

00:47:24.500 and jurisdictions

00:47:25.300 to implement

00:47:26.740 discriminatory

00:47:27.860 burdensome

00:47:28.640 and unnecessary

00:47:29.500 restrictions

00:47:30.400 on access

00:47:31.220 to the ballot

00:47:31.940 including

00:47:33.000 those related

00:47:33.760 to mail-in

00:47:34.560 voting

00:47:34.900 the use

00:47:35.900 of drop

00:47:36.400 boxes

00:47:36.820 and voter

00:47:37.440 ID

00:47:37.860 requirements

00:47:38.660 right

00:47:39.580 that's

00:47:40.360 fascinating

00:47:40.800 isn't it

00:47:41.300 so the

00:47:41.960 drop boxes

00:47:42.520 they're just

00:47:43.080 you know

00:47:43.520 it's a box

00:47:44.040 that's just

00:47:44.600 standing there

00:47:45.400 that anyone

00:47:46.040 can access

00:47:46.480 at any time

00:47:46.880 and apparently

00:47:47.280 put the ballots

00:47:47.760 so anyone

00:47:49.020 can interfere

00:47:49.500 with that

00:47:49.840 or the

00:47:50.700 mail-in ballots

00:47:51.860 okay

00:47:52.240 again there

00:47:53.840 seems to be

00:47:54.260 major questions

00:47:55.320 given those

00:47:56.160 4am

00:47:57.260 mail-in ballot

00:47:58.420 drops

00:47:58.720 oh there's

00:47:59.180 just nothing

00:47:59.640 to question

00:48:00.280 here

00:48:00.520 or

00:48:01.180 and the

00:48:02.160 final one

00:48:02.820 which is

00:48:03.080 just

00:48:03.260 remarkable

00:48:03.860 to me

00:48:04.320 voter ID

00:48:05.600 and now

00:48:05.920 we've heard

00:48:06.240 that this

00:48:06.540 is racist

00:48:06.920 and discriminatory

00:48:07.540 because apparently

00:48:08.140 they think 0.93

00:48:08.940 that black 1.00

00:48:09.240 people don't 0.99

00:48:10.100 have IDs

00:48:10.640 which is

00:48:11.680 obviously

00:48:11.880 not true

00:48:12.460 because everyone

00:48:13.380 in America

00:48:14.120 has an ID

00:48:14.680 basically

00:48:15.200 and it's

00:48:17.380 just preposterous

00:48:18.360 so all you

00:48:19.820 could come away

00:48:20.380 from this

00:48:20.980 and this was

00:48:21.320 back in March

00:48:21.920 all you can

00:48:22.800 reasonably come

00:48:23.280 away from

00:48:23.560 this is like

00:48:23.860 right so they

00:48:24.460 want cheating

00:48:25.820 they want

00:48:27.140 people who

00:48:27.820 aren't registered

00:48:28.240 to vote

00:48:28.600 to vote

00:48:28.960 they want

00:48:29.780 there to be

00:48:30.440 an insecure

00:48:31.200 supply chain

00:48:32.360 in between

00:48:33.480 you casting

00:48:34.500 your vote

00:48:34.940 and it

00:48:35.260 arriving

00:48:35.740 where it's

00:48:36.780 supposed to

00:48:37.200 be

00:48:37.420 right

00:48:37.720 they want

00:48:38.120 a series

00:48:38.640 of failure

00:48:39.780 points

00:48:40.280 to be there

00:48:41.080 right

00:48:41.380 so this

00:48:41.860 if

00:48:42.500 this was

00:48:43.920 anything else

00:48:45.100 in any other

00:48:45.900 like setting

00:48:46.800 like if it was

00:48:47.260 business

00:48:47.600 or if it was

00:48:48.100 you know

00:48:48.580 whatever it is

00:48:49.160 you'd be like

00:48:49.700 right

00:48:49.840 you're setting up

00:48:51.300 points of

00:48:53.140 insecurity

00:48:53.820 and failure

00:48:54.540 on purpose

00:48:55.520 right

00:48:55.900 okay

00:48:56.180 okay

00:48:56.200 well

00:48:56.520 then

00:48:57.180 what

00:48:57.580 the purpose

00:48:58.140 of the

00:48:58.340 system

00:48:58.560 is what

00:48:58.800 it does

00:48:59.080 you want

00:48:59.600 to have

00:49:00.380 corruption

00:49:01.080 you want

00:49:01.680 to have

00:49:02.060 some sort

00:49:03.040 of

00:49:03.320 this

00:49:03.960 this is how

00:49:06.020 republics die

00:49:06.840 yeah

00:49:07.320 this is

00:49:08.040 this is how 0.99

00:49:09.120 you kill 0.99

00:49:09.600 republics 0.99

00:49:10.280 there is no

00:49:10.760 excuse for this

00:49:11.620 whatsoever

00:49:12.220 and to frame it

00:49:13.380 as like oh well

00:49:14.020 it's racist

00:49:14.700 or it's

00:49:15.380 it's trying to

00:49:16.120 stop people

00:49:16.500 from voting

00:49:16.900 well some

00:49:17.560 people ought

00:49:18.200 not to be

00:49:18.540 voting

00:49:18.860 illegal aliens

00:49:19.800 where is he

00:49:20.720 anyway

00:49:20.980 Kinshasa

00:49:21.560 what is that

00:49:22.280 I don't know

00:49:24.060 where he was

00:49:24.480 who cares

00:49:24.780 it doesn't matter

00:49:25.180 sorry

00:49:26.700 I should say

00:49:27.600 one other

00:49:27.960 thing

00:49:28.360 when you look

00:49:29.520 at late

00:49:29.920 republican

00:49:30.440 Rome

00:49:30.860 the amount

00:49:31.600 of voting

00:49:32.260 corruption

00:49:32.780 was getting

00:49:34.400 sort of

00:49:34.980 completely out

00:49:35.640 in the open

00:49:36.140 just literally

00:49:37.060 going between

00:49:37.820 the various

00:49:38.560 voting blocks

00:49:41.240 literally with a

00:49:42.140 bag of gold

00:49:42.680 coins

00:49:43.080 and handing them

00:49:43.800 out in full

00:49:44.200 sight of everyone

00:49:44.780 everyone knows

00:49:45.620 it's going on

00:49:46.260 and you don't

00:49:47.460 have a republic

00:49:48.220 anymore

00:49:48.580 you don't have

00:49:49.100 a democracy

00:49:49.560 and that's

00:49:50.000 what Merrick

00:49:50.540 Garland here

00:49:51.120 is

00:49:51.400 again

00:49:52.240 attorney general

00:49:53.740 like this is

00:49:54.780 what he's

00:49:55.020 doing

00:49:55.180 and so

00:49:55.480 you've got

00:49:55.900 Gavin Newsom

00:49:56.580 literally

00:49:58.420 yesterday

00:49:59.000 signing

00:49:59.680 a law

00:50:00.120 into

00:50:02.680 California

00:50:03.220 law

00:50:03.460 to ban

00:50:04.460 voter ID

00:50:05.120 so local

00:50:06.300 governments

00:50:06.940 in California

00:50:07.540 are not

00:50:08.560 allowed to

00:50:09.060 ask for

00:50:09.480 voter ID

00:50:10.040 for people

00:50:11.180 who go to

00:50:11.540 vote

00:50:11.780 and this

00:50:12.640 is in

00:50:13.080 response

00:50:13.580 to a

00:50:14.540 ballot

00:50:14.720 initiative

00:50:15.080 that was

00:50:15.360 approved

00:50:15.620 by voters

00:50:16.180 of Huntington

00:50:17.460 Beach

00:50:17.820 where 53.4%

00:50:19.600 of the residents

00:50:20.140 voted to

00:50:20.840 adopt a

00:50:21.380 ballot measure

00:50:21.760 require people

00:50:22.960 to show ID

00:50:23.480 and so

00:50:24.520 Gavin Newsom

00:50:25.000 was like

00:50:25.240 not on my

00:50:25.740 watch

00:50:26.160 do you know

00:50:27.460 how many

00:50:27.800 illegals 0.93

00:50:28.300 there are

00:50:28.500 in California

00:50:29.120 millions

00:50:30.040 he should be

00:50:31.320 tarred on feathers 0.88

00:50:32.060 well this is

00:50:33.360 the same sort of

00:50:34.740 playbook that

00:50:35.400 they've used

00:50:36.340 for the

00:50:36.680 Trump assassination

00:50:37.280 they create

00:50:38.920 the conditions

00:50:39.820 where the

00:50:40.300 outcome

00:50:40.800 which they

00:50:41.320 want to

00:50:41.740 happen

00:50:42.180 can happen

00:50:43.440 whilst having

00:50:44.400 plausible

00:50:44.840 deniability

00:50:45.540 that oh

00:50:46.040 it was just

00:50:46.440 incompetence

00:50:47.060 oh it was

00:50:47.640 a mistake

00:50:48.220 this isn't

00:50:49.500 a mistake

00:50:49.780 they've got

00:50:49.940 enough separation

00:50:50.980 of course it's

00:50:51.500 not a mistake

00:50:52.040 but they can

00:50:53.220 formally say

00:50:54.440 oh you know

00:50:55.100 we messed up

00:50:56.360 or something like

00:50:56.780 that if they

00:50:57.340 have to

00:50:57.900 which I don't

00:50:58.540 even think

00:50:58.900 they will

00:50:59.240 have to

00:50:59.700 but the way

00:51:00.420 things are

00:51:00.740 being set up

00:51:01.340 here they

00:51:01.640 know that

00:51:02.340 voting fraud

00:51:04.300 and rigging

00:51:04.800 elections

00:51:05.240 is weighted

00:51:06.560 towards their

00:51:07.360 favour

00:51:07.680 because the

00:51:08.200 kinds of

00:51:08.700 people that

00:51:09.120 will cheat

00:51:09.560 will vote

00:51:10.260 democrat

00:51:10.660 and so

00:51:11.700 they're creating

00:51:13.420 those conditions

00:51:14.200 aren't they

00:51:14.620 and I mean

00:51:15.700 why would you

00:51:16.600 sign a law

00:51:17.760 to ban

00:51:18.720 voter ID

00:51:19.280 when more

00:51:19.960 than half

00:51:20.420 of the people

00:51:20.900 in the county

00:51:21.520 in this

00:51:22.600 particular city

00:51:23.560 are like no

00:51:24.400 we're going to

00:51:24.900 have voter ID

00:51:25.460 just because we

00:51:25.960 want to make

00:51:27.020 sure our

00:51:27.300 elections are

00:51:27.740 secure

00:51:28.000 it's like

00:51:28.360 no we're

00:51:29.520 going to

00:51:29.660 have insecure

00:51:30.340 elections

00:51:30.860 I'm doing

00:51:31.680 this in

00:51:31.960 response to

00:51:32.660 you asking

00:51:33.400 for secure

00:51:33.880 elections

00:51:34.280 it reminds

00:51:34.880 me of

00:51:35.300 something that

00:51:36.480 Joe Biden's

00:51:37.940 brother said

00:51:38.700 privately

00:51:39.860 when one of

00:51:42.120 Hunter Biden's

00:51:42.840 business associates

00:51:43.640 asked him

00:51:44.340 about

00:51:44.780 aren't you

00:51:46.260 worried that

00:51:46.720 this is going

00:51:47.060 to come back

00:51:47.660 and bite you 0.90

00:51:48.880 and he's

00:51:49.100 like well I've

00:51:50.000 got plausible

00:51:50.440 deniability

00:51:51.100 that's good

00:51:51.540 enough

00:51:51.920 it's that

00:51:52.560 same sort

00:51:53.280 of thing

00:51:53.560 going on

00:51:53.980 here

00:51:54.140 and you

00:51:54.620 ask why

00:51:55.200 would someone

00:51:55.860 like Gavin

00:51:56.240 Newsom do

00:51:56.620 this well

00:51:56.820 because they're

00:51:57.640 they're bought

00:51:58.800 and paid for

00:51:59.580 a puppet

00:51:59.900 for someone

00:52:00.660 else

00:52:01.060 something else

00:52:02.000 and they're

00:52:02.960 not representing

00:52:03.680 the interests

00:52:04.300 of Californians

00:52:05.180 anymore

00:52:05.600 yeah no

00:52:06.040 what they're

00:52:06.440 representing

00:52:06.800 is the

00:52:07.080 interest

00:52:07.340 of the

00:52:07.540 Democrat

00:52:07.780 party

00:52:08.200 because I

00:52:08.920 think the

00:52:09.300 Democrats

00:52:09.680 have

00:52:10.020 like Wile E

00:52:11.200 Coyote

00:52:11.680 run off the

00:52:12.340 cliff at this

00:52:12.800 point and they

00:52:13.600 realize that if

00:52:14.200 they don't

00:52:14.640 keep running

00:52:15.280 then they're

00:52:16.400 just going to

00:52:16.700 plummet and so

00:52:17.420 they're like okay

00:52:18.100 well we've lost

00:52:18.940 Americans by and

00:52:20.640 large you know the

00:52:21.720 broad sweep of the

00:52:22.600 American public

00:52:23.140 we've got the

00:52:23.940 single cat ladies 1.00

00:52:24.780 we've got like

00:52:26.760 very minor like

00:52:28.560 you know LGBT

00:52:29.300 communities and

00:52:30.280 we've got illegals

00:52:31.180 so we're gonna have

00:52:33.140 to just leverage

00:52:34.100 those as much as

00:52:34.960 we can because if

00:52:36.000 we don't we're just

00:52:37.120 going to plummet so

00:52:37.760 I mean here's

00:52:38.860 Arizona

00:52:39.360 218,000 voters

00:52:41.640 were wrongly marked

00:52:42.800 as providing

00:52:43.840 proof of

00:52:44.340 citizenship due

00:52:45.440 to quote

00:52:45.980 unquote an

00:52:46.440 error

00:52:46.780 there's a news

00:52:48.660 clip but I

00:52:49.000 won't play it

00:52:49.460 just to save

00:52:50.220 time

00:52:50.520 we're watching

00:52:51.320 the Republic

00:52:51.920 die on its 0.99

00:52:53.220 arse here 1.00

00:52:53.980 200,000

00:52:55.320 Arizona's not a

00:52:56.160 big state

00:52:56.560 that's

00:52:57.740 in terms of

00:52:58.780 area it's

00:52:59.200 massive but

00:52:59.620 population

00:53:00.040 just to make

00:53:01.720 clear there

00:53:02.520 would be some

00:53:03.340 fedora tipper

00:53:04.860 out there that

00:53:05.400 correct

00:53:05.620 and so out of

00:53:08.260 7 million having

00:53:08.960 200,000 voters

00:53:10.260 who doubtless are

00:53:11.860 going to end up

00:53:12.340 voting for Joe

00:53:13.160 Biden easily

00:53:14.660 will swing

00:53:15.060 something

00:53:15.400 it's like okay

00:53:15.860 but you're

00:53:16.920 deliberately

00:53:17.860 entering into

00:53:19.320 the process

00:53:20.440 an element

00:53:21.980 by which fraud

00:53:23.340 is enabled

00:53:23.980 so you are

00:53:25.420 committing fraud

00:53:26.180 that's the only

00:53:27.060 reasonable

00:53:27.580 assumption that I

00:53:29.840 can make in

00:53:30.940 this circumstance

00:53:31.520 if you don't want

00:53:32.620 properly secured

00:53:33.640 elections where

00:53:34.200 people who are not

00:53:34.720 allowed to vote

00:53:35.160 are voting

00:53:35.700 then you want

00:53:36.800 fraud

00:53:37.180 that's my

00:53:38.440 opinion on this

00:53:39.160 and if you

00:53:40.020 think that's

00:53:41.240 unfair then

00:53:42.140 we can get

00:53:42.660 rid of these 0.77

00:53:43.020 voters so we

00:53:43.920 know that they

00:53:44.760 won't be committing

00:53:45.280 any fraud

00:53:45.740 well it boggles my

00:53:47.640 mind that they

00:53:48.360 haven't moved

00:53:49.780 towards paper

00:53:50.900 ballots and

00:53:51.920 showing ID

00:53:52.580 like the rest of

00:53:53.660 Europe

00:53:53.980 it's not like it's

00:53:55.380 an untested

00:53:56.080 formula

00:53:56.480 like the rest of

00:53:57.420 the western world

00:53:58.520 it works

00:53:59.180 and the fact that

00:53:59.920 America is the

00:54:00.640 exception suggests

00:54:01.720 to me that

00:54:02.380 they're deliberately

00:54:03.460 doing it

00:54:03.960 it's under the

00:54:04.980 Biden-Harris

00:54:05.600 administration

00:54:06.180 I wonder if

00:54:07.000 somehow Trump

00:54:08.520 does win next

00:54:09.140 time he'll sort

00:54:09.860 of start putting

00:54:10.820 things like that

00:54:11.640 in place to try

00:54:12.420 and prevent it

00:54:12.920 going forward

00:54:13.440 but of course

00:54:14.340 Biden-Harris

00:54:15.000 weren't going to

00:54:15.380 do those things

00:54:16.100 during their

00:54:16.640 four years

00:54:17.240 yeah and

00:54:18.000 this one

00:54:19.120 this Nevada

00:54:20.480 state senator

00:54:21.080 is pointing out

00:54:22.720 that hang on a

00:54:23.140 second

00:54:23.440 130,000 people

00:54:25.340 voted illegally

00:54:26.020 in Nevada

00:54:26.540 oh that's

00:54:27.280 election swinging

00:54:28.240 as well

00:54:28.900 again these are

00:54:29.640 massive numbers

00:54:30.660 these are colossal

00:54:31.920 and so

00:54:32.880 you've got states

00:54:33.960 like Alabama

00:54:34.500 are like yeah

00:54:34.900 good point

00:54:35.280 maybe we should

00:54:36.040 make sure illegals 0.97

00:54:37.080 are purged from 0.78

00:54:37.660 the rolls

00:54:38.140 because obviously

00:54:39.040 you don't want

00:54:39.540 illegals voting

00:54:40.380 in your state

00:54:42.600 and so the

00:54:43.720 Department of

00:54:44.120 Justice was like

00:54:44.580 right we're going

00:54:44.920 to sue you for

00:54:45.640 that

00:54:45.900 sorry what

00:54:48.460 and again that's

00:54:49.260 Meritless Garland

00:54:50.160 yes it is

00:54:51.820 indeed

00:54:52.160 but as you can

00:54:53.060 see it's just

00:54:53.600 like

00:54:53.800 an enemy of the

00:54:54.980 nation

00:54:55.380 yeah yeah

00:54:55.840 no no

00:54:56.220 so you are going

00:54:57.580 to sue Alabama

00:54:58.820 for removing

00:55:01.080 non-citizens

00:55:02.500 who ought not

00:55:03.400 to be voting

00:55:03.920 from the

00:55:04.520 voting rolls

00:55:05.060 right you

00:55:05.980 want to cheat

00:55:07.100 I don't know

00:55:08.160 how else you

00:55:08.780 can describe

00:55:09.140 that is a

00:55:09.700 declaration

00:55:10.340 that we are

00:55:11.240 going to use

00:55:12.080 these to fix

00:55:12.960 the election

00:55:13.620 I don't know

00:55:14.140 what else it

00:55:14.640 would be

00:55:15.060 like it's

00:55:15.760 just

00:55:15.980 I'm just

00:55:18.180 like okay

00:55:18.540 it's out in

00:55:19.100 the open

00:55:19.400 it's completely

00:55:19.980 out in the

00:55:20.300 open

00:55:20.440 they're like

00:55:20.740 no we want

00:55:21.660 to cheat

00:55:22.300 that's why

00:55:22.860 we want these

00:55:23.220 insecure elections

00:55:23.860 that's why

00:55:24.140 we want

00:55:24.360 illegals 0.93

00:55:24.960 on the

00:55:25.480 voter rolls

00:55:25.800 and if you

00:55:26.100 take them

00:55:26.460 off

00:55:26.660 we're going

00:55:27.240 to use

00:55:27.500 force of

00:55:28.040 law against

00:55:28.800 you

00:55:29.060 to get them

00:55:29.840 back on

00:55:30.300 it's like

00:55:30.560 that is

00:55:30.840 bonkers

00:55:31.900 that is 0.90

00:55:32.300 absolutely

00:55:32.880 bonkers

00:55:33.440 right

00:55:34.100 and then

00:55:35.340 you get some

00:55:35.940 brilliant ones

00:55:36.780 here

00:55:36.980 so this is

00:55:37.580 from the

00:55:37.880 Ohio

00:55:38.240 Secretary of

00:55:39.400 State

00:55:39.680 this is

00:55:40.920 amazing

00:55:41.340 right

00:55:41.680 Frank LaRose

00:55:43.680 the Secretary

00:55:44.660 of State

00:55:44.940 for Ohio

00:55:45.420 announced that

00:55:46.580 the election

00:55:47.160 integrity unit

00:55:47.860 has issued

00:55:48.220 a warning

00:55:48.760 to 88

00:55:49.680 there are 88

00:55:50.660 county boards

00:55:51.340 after an

00:55:52.420 investigation

00:55:52.860 uncovered

00:55:53.340 use of

00:55:54.040 illegal voter

00:55:54.780 registration forms

00:55:55.780 by a government

00:55:56.360 agency

00:55:56.920 sorry

00:55:57.760 and oh

00:55:58.640 oh well

00:55:59.460 just warning

00:56:00.500 there's a

00:56:01.620 person

00:56:02.040 behind that

00:56:02.580 there's a

00:56:02.880 group of

00:56:03.200 people behind

00:56:03.720 that

00:56:03.920 they're all

00:56:04.380 democrat partisans

00:56:05.720 by the way

00:56:06.180 I guarantee it

00:56:07.280 and if they think

00:56:09.440 I'm wrong

00:56:09.760 they can come out

00:56:10.200 and sue me

00:56:10.480 and we'll have

00:56:10.800 an investigation

00:56:11.660 into this

00:56:12.260 but is someone

00:56:13.740 not going to be

00:56:14.200 punished for that

00:56:14.860 is someone not

00:56:16.380 going to be

00:56:16.660 punished for this

00:56:17.300 almost certainly

00:56:18.700 yeah

00:56:19.100 exactly

00:56:19.540 no no

00:56:19.940 they're just

00:56:20.600 creating illegal

00:56:22.340 voter registration forms

00:56:23.680 so non-citizens 0.99

00:56:25.480 can vote in the

00:56:25.980 elections

00:56:26.300 and we're just

00:56:27.120 going to be

00:56:27.560 like oh

00:56:27.860 we'll just be

00:56:28.320 careful about that

00:56:28.940 what do you mean

00:56:29.260 be careful

00:56:29.620 someone's committed

00:56:30.140 a crime there

00:56:30.760 like a bunch

00:56:31.660 of them need

00:56:32.080 to go to jail

00:56:32.620 for this

00:56:33.120 a giant

00:56:33.600 heinous crime

00:56:34.500 yeah

00:56:34.800 a massive

00:56:35.220 yeah

00:56:35.420 stealing the

00:56:36.080 republic

00:56:36.460 crime

00:56:37.040 yeah

00:56:37.260 you know

00:56:37.840 this is massive

00:56:38.800 subverting

00:56:39.740 the state

00:56:40.640 and as you

00:56:42.100 said earlier

00:56:42.600 Josh

00:56:43.100 the officers

00:56:43.960 election

00:56:44.580 integrity unit

00:56:45.360 concluded the

00:56:45.940 investigation of

00:56:46.560 the origins of

00:56:47.180 the illegal

00:56:47.540 voter registration form

00:56:48.540 because it was

00:56:49.180 translated into

00:56:49.980 the Haitian

00:56:50.680 creole language

00:56:51.840 of course

00:56:54.040 so we're going to

00:56:55.020 dump tens of

00:56:55.620 thousands of 1.00

00:56:56.360 illegal Haitians 0.97

00:56:57.160 in this state 0.94

00:56:59.000 and then we're

00:56:59.720 going to give

00:57:00.120 them it in their

00:57:00.640 own language

00:57:01.180 so they can

00:57:01.900 vote democrat

00:57:02.500 have they got

00:57:03.380 the democrats

00:57:04.000 explaining this is

00:57:05.020 the box you need

00:57:05.660 to tick to get

00:57:06.300 free stuff

00:57:06.800 i don't doubt

00:57:07.560 that they do

00:57:08.120 it's just

00:57:08.820 unbelievable

00:57:09.780 how blatant

00:57:11.140 and out in the

00:57:11.680 open it is

00:57:12.240 and again this is

00:57:13.000 from the secretary

00:57:13.740 of state for

00:57:14.380 ohio

00:57:14.780 like this

00:57:15.400 if this was

00:57:16.040 some like

00:57:16.420 random crazy

00:57:17.740 conspiratard website

00:57:19.040 i'd be like

00:57:19.400 okay well calm

00:57:20.120 down you know

00:57:20.600 i need a bit

00:57:21.700 more proof

00:57:22.180 but okay

00:57:23.540 i mean i don't

00:57:24.840 know what else

00:57:25.680 we're going to

00:57:26.020 say to this

00:57:26.520 the memo

00:57:27.220 concludes with a

00:57:28.280 notice of

00:57:28.640 ongoing investigations

00:57:29.620 into evidence

00:57:30.760 of a pattern of

00:57:31.600 fraudulent voter

00:57:32.380 registration activity

00:57:33.340 in multiple

00:57:34.260 counties under

00:57:35.320 the paid

00:57:35.680 employment of a

00:57:36.440 group called

00:57:36.920 black fork

00:57:37.720 strategies

00:57:38.380 i wonder who

00:57:39.720 they might be

00:57:40.380 i've never heard

00:57:41.380 of them before

00:57:41.800 either and i

00:57:42.420 didn't have time

00:57:43.160 to look into

00:57:43.680 them if you

00:57:44.200 mishear it it

00:57:44.940 might sound a bit

00:57:45.580 like black rock

00:57:46.260 but that might

00:57:47.300 would be mistaken

00:57:48.420 wouldn't it

00:57:48.860 but okay

00:57:49.280 so you've got

00:57:49.940 a group

00:57:50.420 that you've

00:57:51.140 identified

00:57:51.620 that are

00:57:52.420 creating

00:57:52.800 fraudulent

00:57:53.940 voter registration

00:57:55.060 forms

00:57:56.340 arrest them

00:57:57.620 arrest them

00:57:58.980 they have

00:57:59.260 committed a

00:57:59.820 crime

00:58:00.200 arrest them

00:58:00.820 you've got

00:58:01.740 police

00:58:02.180 like go and

00:58:03.400 arrest them

00:58:04.020 arrest them

00:58:04.840 now and then

00:58:05.940 you know say

00:58:06.560 okay we've got

00:58:07.220 this evidence

00:58:07.680 you're being

00:58:08.240 charged and

00:58:09.220 now we're going

00:58:09.560 to go through

00:58:10.140 the process

00:58:10.600 it's crazy

00:58:11.320 so anyway

00:58:12.280 this is

00:58:12.960 everywhere

00:58:13.280 right

00:58:13.700 here's a

00:58:14.040 wisconsin

00:58:14.360 again it

00:58:14.700 would be up

00:58:15.100 to merrick

00:58:15.520 garland to

00:58:16.360 prosecute him

00:58:16.960 so it's just

00:58:17.620 not going to

00:58:17.940 happen

00:58:18.180 it would

00:58:18.740 this wisconsin

00:58:20.220 loophole will

00:58:20.900 allow 150,000

00:58:22.200 people to vote

00:58:23.420 without showing

00:58:23.840 photo id because

00:58:24.680 why not

00:58:25.140 why would you

00:58:26.720 why wouldn't

00:58:27.580 you

00:58:27.760 like it's

00:58:29.480 just it's

00:58:30.100 genuinely crazy

00:58:31.140 to me how this

00:58:31.840 is so in your

00:58:32.920 face as an

00:58:33.480 if you're an

00:58:34.040 american i'd be

00:58:35.100 like well okay

00:58:36.620 so is this over

00:58:37.820 then this is just

00:58:38.560 over right

00:58:39.220 like we're not

00:58:40.160 we're not are we

00:58:40.860 just going through

00:58:41.380 the motions it's

00:58:42.140 the the fiction

00:58:43.320 of the republic

00:58:44.580 now as we've

00:58:45.420 clearly transmogrified

00:58:47.100 into the imperial

00:58:47.860 period or what

00:58:49.140 you know this is

00:58:49.820 genuinely like the

00:58:50.840 fall of rome here

00:58:51.580 it's like okay

00:58:52.980 okay well it's

00:58:54.720 they're just going

00:58:55.720 to cheat

00:58:56.000 they're just going

00:58:56.720 to be very

00:58:57.360 interested to see

00:58:58.300 the rate of

00:58:59.080 ammunition sales

00:59:00.040 leading up to the

00:59:00.840 election because i

00:59:01.780 imagine lots of

00:59:02.520 americans are going 1.00

00:59:03.280 to see what's coming

00:59:04.300 based on a lot of

00:59:05.500 this yeah i mean

00:59:06.600 like so i've got

00:59:07.420 loads here so

00:59:08.320 here's uh back um

00:59:10.700 in 2022 the at

00:59:13.360 the time conservative

00:59:14.980 uh uh majority of

00:59:18.780 the uh wisconsin

00:59:19.780 supreme court uh

00:59:21.420 were like you know

00:59:22.060 what these ballot 0.69

00:59:22.500 boxes are a bit of

00:59:23.320 a sus thing they 1.00

00:59:25.380 they're they're a

00:59:26.000 bit weird because

00:59:26.760 actually they can

00:59:28.120 be tampered with

00:59:29.000 and that's not good

00:59:30.160 we we should

00:59:31.100 probably have it so

00:59:32.000 our elections can't 0.61

00:59:32.800 just be tampered

00:59:33.440 with and so they

00:59:36.260 banned them and

00:59:37.140 they were like good

00:59:37.540 idea good idea

00:59:38.300 idea and then in

00:59:39.420 2024 their supreme

00:59:41.560 court went liberal

00:59:42.240 again so they

00:59:43.280 decided josh you're

00:59:44.420 knocking this

00:59:44.860 oh sorry

00:59:45.560 uh they decided

00:59:47.620 that they'd overturn

00:59:48.580 that ruling and

00:59:49.260 bring the ballot

00:59:49.700 boxes back it's like

00:59:50.800 okay so the the

00:59:53.900 the protective

00:59:54.980 measures that were

00:59:56.360 taken by the

00:59:56.980 conservatives have

00:59:58.380 been overthrown on

00:59:59.520 purpose by the

01:00:00.300 liberals consciously

01:00:01.460 so right okay

01:00:03.280 all right i get it

01:00:05.360 you're cheating

01:00:06.100 you're just cheating

01:00:07.620 cheating all over

01:00:08.980 america apparently

01:00:09.860 right and just as a

01:00:11.600 quick thing drop 0.99

01:00:12.120 boxes aren't a

01:00:12.660 universal thing in

01:00:13.420 american elections or

01:00:14.340 anything like that

01:00:14.960 right as you can see

01:00:15.760 here the these states

01:00:17.000 all ban the drop

01:00:17.980 boxes because of

01:00:19.180 course they're

01:00:20.280 suspect they can be

01:00:21.520 interfered with they

01:00:22.160 can be tampered with

01:00:23.000 of course you would

01:00:23.900 want these banned and

01:00:25.140 so the fact that it's

01:00:26.420 like okay no we're just

01:00:27.140 going to bring them

01:00:27.520 back it's like oh

01:00:28.280 okay all right you

01:00:30.040 know very very

01:00:31.560 convincing uh then you

01:00:33.760 have uh you know

01:00:34.580 michigan governor

01:00:35.820 gretchen whitmer

01:00:36.780 again it's one of

01:00:38.600 those things where

01:00:39.600 it's like hmm if i

01:00:41.340 were going to cheat

01:00:42.500 what would i do so

01:00:43.720 she's uh she's

01:00:45.060 brought in this

01:00:45.520 controversial recount

01:00:47.120 law so if someone

01:00:49.500 thinks that there has

01:00:50.820 been a mistake an

01:00:52.280 honest goodness mistake

01:00:53.420 governor in the

01:00:54.500 election she's signed

01:00:56.280 this law that means

01:00:57.480 that it won't be

01:00:58.100 recounted if the

01:00:59.420 allegation of the

01:01:00.400 mistake isn't

01:01:00.980 sufficient to sway

01:01:02.580 the election who

01:01:04.860 decides that yeah

01:01:05.940 right who makes

01:01:07.100 that is it is it

01:01:08.100 gretchen whitmer who 0.96

01:01:09.180 makes that decision

01:01:09.780 well of course she's

01:01:11.240 the governor right

01:01:11.880 right who else could

01:01:14.340 it be right she's

01:01:15.940 just gonna like no i

01:01:16.760 don't think it does

01:01:17.360 and that's literally

01:01:18.640 what it comes to

01:01:19.320 right only alleged

01:01:21.380 errors that could

01:01:22.140 merit a recount when

01:01:23.140 the own and only when

01:01:24.240 the alleged errors

01:01:24.820 could potentially

01:01:25.320 change the election

01:01:26.020 results and it'll

01:01:27.460 also do a lot of

01:01:28.260 other small things

01:01:29.120 like increase the

01:01:30.300 deposit for filing a

01:01:31.400 petition recount

01:01:32.100 modify various

01:01:33.100 guidelines for

01:01:33.680 clerks and change

01:01:34.800 sentencing guidelines

01:01:35.580 for election law

01:01:36.240 violations basically a

01:01:37.980 series of small

01:01:38.800 measures just make it

01:01:39.640 more difficult to get

01:01:40.900 a recount to just

01:01:42.260 make it so that it's

01:01:43.640 unlikely to happen

01:01:44.640 and uh senator

01:01:46.180 stephanie chang from

01:01:47.960 detroit uh said

01:01:49.640 today with the

01:01:50.460 signing of the

01:01:51.040 common sense recount

01:01:52.460 law reforms hey

01:01:53.560 this is just common

01:01:54.160 sense uh we're

01:01:55.380 strengthening our

01:01:56.000 democracy

01:01:56.560 sure and ensuring

01:01:59.300 that we reach the

01:02:00.300 most accurate count

01:02:01.160 of the ballots

01:02:01.600 possible these laws

01:02:02.920 achieve critical goals

01:02:04.160 of protecting the

01:02:05.220 security of every vote

01:02:06.540 modernizing our

01:02:07.740 recount process and

01:02:08.940 uplifting the voices of

01:02:09.920 michigan voters with

01:02:11.160 rhetoric like that i

01:02:12.300 can't help but feel

01:02:13.100 she's just lying to our 0.97

01:02:14.200 faces it's just pure

01:02:15.240 double think the

01:02:16.060 opposite of what's

01:02:16.780 being said lying just

01:02:18.580 purely everything it's

01:02:20.360 just and they're just

01:02:21.200 doing it all out in the

01:02:21.840 open and they're doing

01:02:22.500 it you know literally in

01:02:23.940 the last like six months

01:02:25.000 so they they oh the

01:02:26.400 election's coming quick

01:02:27.160 crank up the machine

01:02:28.100 we're gonna have to

01:02:29.000 start printing ballots

01:02:29.840 we're gonna start

01:02:30.320 fixing this they're

01:02:31.620 definitely going to

01:02:32.840 try it seems to me

01:02:34.240 that at this stage the

01:02:35.320 democratic party as an

01:02:37.740 organ as an

01:02:39.120 organization is some

01:02:41.060 sort of parasitic 0.75

01:02:43.720 oligarchy sitting on 1.00

01:02:45.800 top of the united

01:02:47.440 states of america yes

01:02:48.600 um obviously

01:02:50.100 perverting everything

01:02:51.500 correct in order to

01:02:53.260 maintain power there's

01:02:54.280 nothing that they won't

01:02:55.260 lie about there's no

01:02:56.300 there's no fraud they

01:02:57.540 won't commit and

01:02:58.500 there's no cheating

01:02:59.780 that isn't justified in

01:03:02.100 order to maintain

01:03:02.840 themselves that's

01:03:03.620 correct just in case

01:03:05.340 you were wondering uh

01:03:06.460 and the thing is

01:03:07.020 they've got good reason

01:03:08.300 to be very worried

01:03:09.520 actually because of

01:03:10.260 course donald trump's

01:03:11.340 like no i'm gonna get

01:03:11.880 elon musk into the

01:03:12.720 federal government look

01:03:14.040 at what he did with

01:03:14.540 twitter you cut two

01:03:15.520 thirds of the staff and

01:03:16.280 it works better than

01:03:16.880 ever so you know imagine

01:03:19.060 how much he's gonna do

01:03:20.320 to the government and

01:03:21.440 then you've got

01:03:21.860 responses like this to

01:03:22.820 that it was like elon's

01:03:24.040 gonna fire tens of

01:03:24.980 thousands of middle

01:03:25.740 class americans for

01:03:26.720 sport brilliant i hope

01:03:28.480 he films it that's a

01:03:29.740 sport live i would like

01:03:31.200 to be a professional at

01:03:32.140 this sport to be honest

01:03:33.020 pay-per-view i'd love to

01:03:35.120 watch it yes luke we're 0.96

01:03:36.380 gonna fire them all you 0.99

01:03:37.960 know the the federal 0.89

01:03:38.920 government it could be

01:03:39.980 tiny and so you can see

01:03:41.200 why they're like yeah

01:03:41.780 we're gonna have to fix

01:03:42.860 this you know because i

01:03:44.140 mean it's just that he

01:03:45.560 can remains when someone 0.70

01:03:46.780 gets rid of a parasite as

01:03:48.020 well yeah and just you

01:03:49.440 know you've noticed all the

01:03:50.600 tech billionaires coming out

01:03:51.660 for trump recently right

01:03:52.620 and that's because you've

01:03:53.860 got people like peter

01:03:54.600 teal and i'll just play

01:03:55.380 this to end this bit

01:03:56.400 because they they know

01:03:57.900 they know they know they

01:03:59.900 know what's going on

01:04:00.820 they can all see elon

01:04:01.800 musk has been posting

01:04:02.580 about this non-stop as

01:04:03.940 well but this is great

01:04:05.040 from peter teal if it is

01:04:06.580 going to be close by the

01:04:07.440 way if it's if it's like

01:04:08.940 going to be a razor-thin

01:04:09.760 close election then um

01:04:11.520 then i'm pretty sure

01:04:12.200 kamala will win because 0.99

01:04:13.560 um because they will

01:04:14.520 cheat they will fortify it

01:04:16.200 they will steal the

01:04:17.100 ballots and so so uh so

01:04:19.240 you know if we if we can if

01:04:21.680 we can if we can if we can

01:04:22.540 face peace it's weird people

01:04:25.460 are laughing i don't want to

01:04:26.860 be involved in the event that

01:04:28.440 it's not close i don't need to

01:04:30.120 be involved and so that's sort

01:04:31.740 of that's sort of a

01:04:32.580 straightforward analysis right

01:04:33.820 there but jumping off point

01:04:35.120 how much cheating on a

01:04:37.320 percentage basis do you think

01:04:38.800 happens every year how much

01:04:41.220 and do you think trump

01:04:42.160 actually won the last time

01:04:43.040 you need to be careful with

01:04:43.200 the verbs so you know um

01:04:45.140 cheating stealing that

01:04:47.200 implies something happened

01:04:48.280 that okay i think the verb

01:04:50.620 you're allowed to use is

01:04:51.320 fortify okay yeah we don't

01:04:53.160 want to get canceled on

01:04:54.020 youtube ballot harvesting i

01:04:56.140 mean it was you know it's

01:04:57.020 all sort of there were all

01:04:58.140 these rule changes it was

01:04:59.180 sort of done in plain

01:05:00.200 daylight and uh um but

01:05:02.840 yeah i think i think our

01:05:03.580 elections are not they're not

01:05:05.220 perfectly clean otherwise we

01:05:07.540 could examine it we could have

01:05:08.660 vigorous debate about it well

01:05:10.000 what would you change then what

01:05:11.000 what should change because we

01:05:11.940 all want everybody's votes to

01:05:13.600 count we want it to be clean

01:05:15.220 um i'm talking about the

01:05:17.140 audience i don't know it's

01:05:17.900 there at a minimum you'd run

01:05:19.660 them you'd try to run

01:05:20.780 elections the same way you do

01:05:21.980 it in every other western

01:05:23.000 democracy you have one day

01:05:24.360 voting you have practically no

01:05:26.140 absentee ballots um you have

01:05:28.840 um and um and it's you know

01:05:32.140 it's it's it's it's one day

01:05:34.300 where everything happens it's

01:05:35.860 not this uh two two month

01:05:38.000 elongated process

01:05:39.120 so it's it's not that the tech

01:05:42.280 billionaires don't get it they do

01:05:43.980 get it and again you know musk

01:05:45.120 you can go to his twitter feed

01:05:46.040 and just find him posting

01:05:47.420 stuff about voter id and

01:05:48.800 democrats being frauds and all

01:05:50.360 this sort of stuff so they they

01:05:52.220 completely get it they know

01:05:54.040 that we know everyone knows the

01:05:56.320 democrats as teal said they're 0.98

01:05:58.000 not trying to hide it it's just

01:05:59.180 they're just making all these

01:05:59.920 changes out in the open it's all

01:06:01.220 public you can get all of the

01:06:02.880 news results it's just all there

01:06:04.660 they're going to try and cheat

01:06:06.040 they're already trying to cheat

01:06:07.300 and they definitely cheat in 2020

01:06:08.960 my only hope is that um unless

01:06:13.660 they go absolutely ballistic with

01:06:15.140 their the the scale of the

01:06:16.420 cheating trump should win anyway

01:06:18.120 because when you sort of look at

01:06:19.640 the um when you drill down into the

01:06:21.620 state by state thing of course the

01:06:23.240 democrats are likely to still win

01:06:24.760 both coasts yeah but a lot of the

01:06:27.480 other sort of swing states places

01:06:28.820 like ohio michigan even places like

01:06:30.580 arizona and nevada and all these

01:06:32.840 places it seems that um trump if

01:06:38.640 it's even remotely clean yeah

01:06:41.420 trump should sweep them with ease

01:06:43.260 yes in other words what i'm trying

01:06:45.020 to say is they would have to cheat

01:06:46.460 way bigger than last time to beat

01:06:48.340 trump this time i feel like yeah not

01:06:50.080 that it's not beyond them it's

01:06:51.580 totally not beyond them is it no no

01:06:53.200 they're gonna try and do that but

01:06:54.780 so basically our republican friends

01:06:57.480 in america you've got to be on your

01:06:59.120 guard you've got to be watching all

01:07:00.160 of this stuff you've got to make

01:07:01.160 sure that you are doing whatever

01:07:02.580 you can to look out for them

01:07:04.280 cheating because i mean in 2020

01:07:06.180 everyone's like my god these are

01:07:07.780 weird things going on no now you

01:07:09.400 know right you know it's all out in

01:07:10.840 the open they're cheats they're

01:07:12.260 going to try and steal it they are

01:07:13.540 doing it already so when you see it

01:07:16.040 make sure you bring it to a halt

01:07:17.980 just standing there i'm not gonna

01:07:18.920 let you do this you know you've got

01:07:20.400 to intervene you can't just allow

01:07:22.380 them to be like we're gonna board up

01:07:23.780 the things and you're just not

01:07:24.640 coming in okay the vote's over it's

01:07:26.840 over at that point that's that's

01:07:28.620 where it's over you know so

01:07:29.780 anyway just be prepared that's all

01:07:31.840 i would hope that someone with a

01:07:33.220 load of money like trump himself or

01:07:34.760 elon or teal or someone that's got

01:07:37.000 billions and billions could actually

01:07:39.240 fund some sort of third party

01:07:42.100 groups to try and prevent that thing

01:07:45.880 like we saw last time we're gonna

01:07:46.880 board up the windows for for a couple

01:07:48.580 of hours yeah and things don't worry

01:07:50.220 about it to prevent physically prevent

01:07:52.980 that sort of thing from going on again

01:07:54.440 even if it's like hundreds or even

01:07:56.400 thousands of these small groups all

01:07:57.920 over america doing that on that

01:07:59.860 night that would be worth that'd be

01:08:01.820 money well spent wouldn't it the

01:08:03.100 republicans can't let this go yeah

01:08:04.860 anyway uh wind pill seeker says

01:08:07.500 democrats lost the civil war

01:08:08.860 democrats segregated democrats

01:08:10.780 forcefully sterilized us under buck 0.62

01:08:12.260 and bell till 1977 democrats are 0.99

01:08:14.340 racist all of those who vote for them 0.99

01:08:15.660 are like sam jackson and jango um 0.99

01:08:18.480 captain m says i understand you guys

01:08:20.700 don't know this however shenanigans

01:08:22.380 with our elections is very common in

01:08:24.000 american history i imagine i hope beau

01:08:26.500 has heard of tamney hall and boss tweed

01:08:28.440 yeah i'm not i'm not saying they

01:08:29.940 haven't you know that the american

01:08:31.100 elections have been perfect for all

01:08:32.440 time but it's the scale of this now

01:08:35.640 it's it's everywhere that the democrats

01:08:37.940 are in control they're cheating you

01:08:40.280 know they're just doing it

01:08:41.240 tammany hall in new york was famously a

01:08:43.220 byword in the in the 19th century

01:08:44.900 early 20th century as well for

01:08:46.100 corruption

01:08:46.600 um i've spoken a couple times about the

01:08:50.080 1960 election when uh jack kennedy beat

01:08:53.340 nixon yeah in 1960 what about george bush

01:08:56.020 uh yeah right jeb bush in in florida

01:08:59.320 yeah 2000 yeah it's not new it just

01:09:01.900 seems to scale of it now exactly but

01:09:03.840 these are like isolated places where

01:09:05.900 it's like oh that's a corrupt thing

01:09:07.280 but no this is just everywhere this is

01:09:09.080 and the laws are being changed no no

01:09:10.660 we're just gonna have illegals voting 0.93

01:09:11.720 and it's totally fine so oh my god you

01:09:13.620 know this this is just anyway uh cranky

01:09:16.600 texan for 50 dollars thanks man says uh

01:09:18.780 for a primer on the infrastructure behind

01:09:20.440 the fortification of elections watch the

01:09:22.480 rumble video posted on turning point

01:09:24.040 action channel titled uh understanding

01:09:26.420 arabella and democracy alliance you can

01:09:29.160 also just read the time magazine how we

01:09:30.960 stole the election but um right no thank

01:09:34.660 you

01:09:35.580 about this post time for a tech question

01:09:41.180 in a heat pump system you're just moving

01:09:43.240 heat energy from one place to another

01:09:44.680 you're not generating the heat per se with

01:09:46.400 a resistive electric or burning fuel in a

01:09:48.580 closed loop you start with a compressed

01:09:50.300 medium that expels energy into your home

01:09:52.120 as this medium cools down it goes to an

01:09:54.400 expansion valve when it expands it cools

01:09:56.320 much like a can of compressed air getting

01:09:57.900 cooler when used after this the medium

01:09:59.840 should now be much colder than the

01:10:00.920 surrounding thermal exchange material

01:10:02.360 it picks up energy and goes around to

01:10:04.680 the compressor where it starts all over

01:10:06.620 again

01:10:07.020 that's a fascinating explanation but i think

01:10:11.360 the um the real uh notable thing about

01:10:14.600 this can we go back the original tweet

01:10:16.760 can we see the i can't see it samson can

01:10:19.540 we get back to the beginning of the video

01:10:20.640 so we can see the tweet yeah right this is

01:10:23.780 just an incredible example of the decline

01:10:26.400 for me yeah like yeah did you know heat

01:10:29.720 pump is three times more efficient than the

01:10:31.160 gas boiler meaning it generates three times

01:10:33.760 more energy than it consumes wow i didn't

01:10:36.340 think that was possible in physics yeah

01:10:37.980 i mean it's not

01:10:39.420 yeah first law of thermodynamics yeah and

01:10:42.240 i i posted about this on twitter because

01:10:43.620 the memes have been incredible and someone

01:10:45.280 uh just posted a starman leaning over to

01:10:47.460 ed milliband we're like right we're

01:10:48.580 repealing the first law of thermodynamics

01:10:50.100 you know just like just

01:10:52.360 the department for energy you think be

01:10:56.760 staffed by people who have degrees and

01:10:58.860 things like physics and things like you

01:11:00.860 know you think there'd be people who knew

01:11:02.660 about this doctors and professors like i

01:11:05.100 don't even have an a level in physics

01:11:07.080 you know i've got gcse in physics and i

01:11:09.180 know that doesn't happen you know i know

01:11:11.480 that doesn't happen so the fact that this

01:11:13.680 can go through any checking and verifying

01:11:15.800 this is the official government account 0.92

01:11:17.700 that's posting this illiterate nonsense 0.61

01:11:20.440 is just evidence of the decline it's like 0.82

01:11:22.420 no just the other thing i was gonna say

01:11:24.240 one just whoever wrote that obviously

01:11:26.040 doesn't know what they're talking about

01:11:26.980 but then two there was no sort of

01:11:28.980 quality control no checking before they

01:11:30.800 tweeted it out could say this is government 1.00

01:11:33.640 misinformation so an idiot with no 1.00

01:11:35.480 oversight yeah right an idiot zero 1.00

01:11:37.160 oversight boom done we get this 1.00

01:11:38.940 it's just okay pathetic absolute 1.00

01:11:42.460 pathetic embarrassing 0.99

01:11:43.740 in yogic tradition gazing into the fire 0.99

01:11:49.380 is believed to clear your mind clear your

01:11:53.380 soul

01:11:53.820 and cleanse your sight it is also believed

01:11:59.980 with no science backing to decalcify your

01:12:03.220 pineal gland

01:12:04.140 with science backing it's been proven

01:12:09.340 to regulate your circadian rhythms

01:12:13.280 it's just quite relaxing really one thing that i have noticed whenever you have an open fire

01:12:20.780 particularly if you're camping

01:12:21.900 it is so amazingly relaxing you can just sit

01:12:26.120 sit and watch the fire and just enjoy the experience of being there

01:12:31.140 and it's one of those things where it sounds like you're sort of over egging it a little bit but it is really quite excellent and even the embers are mesmerizing quite often yeah and it's quite a low goal but i would like a home one day that has got a full chimney and an open fire so i can again spend the evening sort of staring into the fire yeah it's great it's truly mesmerizing

01:12:56.140 why you need to stay signed up to lotus heaters so beau can afford his fire

01:12:59.640 yes noble goal

01:13:02.320 yeah right

01:13:02.880 there's nothing wrong with it

01:13:03.380 one of my favourite things to do is take one of the rocks that you surround the fire with that's been warmed by the fire and put it in like my tent and it warms up the tent on a sort of cold autumn or winter's night and it's almost like you've got heating in there

01:13:16.720 does it not melt through the bottom of the tin how do you do that

01:13:19.020 do you have to put it in my mess tin

01:13:20.260 oh okay oh just a small one okay

01:13:22.160 yeah good idea actually

01:13:24.040 do they not have alligators in texas i don't think so right some people are worried about alligators

01:13:50.720 i mean it looks idyllic

01:13:52.540 no but it looks lovely

01:13:53.580 yeah it looks lovely

01:13:54.840 every every video comment you upload just reminds me of how miserable i am in swindon

01:14:01.360 yeah yeah there are some nice open places in britain there are some

01:14:04.580 there are loads you just have to like go into the countryside

01:14:07.260 you live in the town centre which obviously

01:14:09.240 there's something grand about texas though isn't there

01:14:12.300 you know it's even in the huge flat

01:14:14.840 the wide open spaces sort of the endless skies and stuff

01:14:18.260 i can certainly see you all seem interested i thought i'd give you a quick guide on how to restore a car

01:14:23.000 step one break into small convenient easy to adjust jobs like this paint bubbling because of the brake fluid

01:14:27.560 step two oh it wasn't the brake fluid

01:14:30.140 step three very carefully use your angle grinder to cut out small chunks of metal where the rust stops

01:14:35.300 step four uncover unearthly horrors beyond your comprehension

01:14:38.420 step four step five fix it and it's just that easy

01:14:43.220 if you just follow these simple steps you too can waste all of your time and mind 0.58

01:14:46.740 you're restoring worthless garbage that nobody but you cares about 0.97

01:14:49.280 keep your stick in the ice 0.99

01:14:50.500 yeah but it looks really satisfying

01:14:52.380 yeah

01:14:52.880 to have done something

01:14:55.140 what's that

01:14:55.740 it's a real hobby isn't it

01:14:57.000 yeah

01:14:57.220 the unibomber really quickly almost

01:14:59.300 yeah ted kaczynski

01:15:00.540 right um

01:15:01.420 yeah no i i i yeah i can't really do things that i can't weld

01:15:05.160 i've never welded anything in my life i wouldn't know where to start if you gave me all the

01:15:08.260 i'm not in any way strange

01:15:09.740 uh so i mean all of people can do stuff like that

01:15:12.640 i've done it once and they said it looked like it had been done by a chimpanzee

01:15:15.800 so there you go

01:15:16.860 i think there's a real art to it

01:15:17.900 yeah there is more to it than you think

01:15:19.360 in terms of immigration consider that britain would be similar to hawaii because of its

01:15:25.400 its status as an island nation it isn't like you're going to grow more space for these people to move into 0.99

01:15:32.660 meanwhile in the u.s we have so much land mass that we can absorb a lot of additional people

01:15:39.360 and the u.s did have a very robust legal immigration system that didn't just allow for people to enter 0.95

01:15:45.680 and then become wards of the state aka parasites

01:15:48.640 unfortunately decades of globalist non-sery and leftist policies have led us to where we are now 1.00

01:15:56.380 desperately hoping the right grows some fucking balls 0.99

01:15:59.780 yeah no it's just nothing to disagree with there is it 1.00

01:16:05.860 was that the guy that has got makes the the bow release things or was that actual brass knucks

01:16:11.460 he had at the bottom of that video i think those were brass knuckles yeah

01:16:14.820 he's completely correct like we are the way we handle immigration is just crazy

01:16:20.420 yeah and irresponsible and i just despair it's a crime without precedent yeah absolutely without precedent

01:16:28.580 cannibal corpse is a bit on the nose isn't it just a friendly reminder go watch your favorite

01:16:40.500 band music is meant to be enjoyed live make the effort go to shows

01:16:45.300 good point um i still see a lot of live music i'll pass i hate going to gigs

01:16:55.220 they're crap i've been to one gig ever where it was where it wasn't terrible the music itself 0.71

01:17:01.700 wasn't so i went to see the manic street preachers once and it sounded like the album every other 0.99

01:17:05.540 live gig i've ever seen it was like they're not playing it right did they even play it originally

01:17:10.580 like the singer's not singing it properly or whatever i think with some bands the the actual

01:17:16.980 sound system you get in a live gig is the best you can possibly get some live gigs in my experience

01:17:22.980 at least cannot be captured on a studio album they're just that good so those are the experiences

01:17:29.540 you want like some of my most fond memories in in my life i go into gigs where that happens and

01:17:37.300 it's wonderful i think maybe it's just because i'm sort of actually middle-aged now where the

01:17:41.620 idea of going to a gig spending a bit of money on going standing there for ages with loads of

01:17:48.660 smelly strangers it's like yeah no thanks i went to a music festival last summer and i was just like

01:17:54.260 am i a bit too old for this i sort of had like a mid mid-life crisis it's like but but lots of

01:18:01.220 people are older than me here but also i'm not enjoying this nearly as much as i used to last time i

01:18:06.980 went to reading festival in my early 30s it was like this is horrible i'm hating this i went to

01:18:11.940 the reading festival a bunch of times when i was in it yeah in my early 20s i had a great time last

01:18:15.860 time i went to a gig was probably a decade ago and it just hurt my ears and i was just like i've really

01:18:20.260 i was only 35 i was just like i'm not enjoying this i think you've got to be able to drink every day

01:18:25.380 to be able to enjoy it oh yeah to its fullest but then my body can't take that anymore i did when i went

01:18:30.820 into reading but uh i i've got no it just doesn't appeal anymore you know i'm just too old uh anyway

01:18:36.900 jimbo says uh good news lads i started a new job in december congratulations new job in december

01:18:41.940 oh right last summer and it's got promoted already oh well done uh rewarded myself with islander volume

01:18:46.820 two and three shirts from remote store thank you very much i can't pronounce that name says i can

01:18:52.500 pronounce that uh questions carl do you actually own five cats like you said in the interview with ed

01:18:57.220 dutton yes yes i didn't know that i know you had cats didn't know it's five yeah that's like

01:19:03.860 egyptian level yeah they're not it's not my choice i i didn't want a single one of them right and i

01:19:10.580 would have the same argument with my wife i'd be like look we're not getting another cat i'm not

01:19:13.860 getting a cat we're not getting cat and then she'd just bring home a tiny kit right i'm like and then

01:19:20.740 she'd put it on my lap and it'd be like cold and afraid and it'd be like purring on your lap and i'm

01:19:24.980 like what what am i gonna do throw it out you know so obviously it got to stay fetch the burlap

01:19:30.100 bag yeah exactly yeah exactly what was i gonna do you know and and so i would just be in a bad mood

01:19:36.420 with her for about a week and she was just like yeah it's an acceptable price to pay and then another

01:19:41.540 one and another one and now we've got five cats and one of them got pregnant uh because it wasn't

01:19:46.020 done and so she had a couple of babies we gave one away but we kept one and so now we've just got five 0.96

01:19:51.220 cats and i couldn't i didn't consent to any of them i can't get rid of them and they're they're

01:19:55.540 adorable so it's fine but it's just like for god's sake you know i didn't want five cats on the plus

01:20:01.140 side though if you're gonna get a pet a cat is one of the least impactful to get you know most of the

01:20:06.180 time they take care of themselves you just have to put food down and clear up bird guts um so yes i

01:20:11.620 own five cats um fuzzy toaster says i think the office should stop shaving and see how amazing the

01:20:16.980 beards and mustaches can get by 2025 you should look like a council of wise men not bad idea but

01:20:22.340 my wife really hates it when i don't trim my beard because you know like she's got to deal with like 1.00

01:20:27.620 this face of fur i'd look like fu manchu anyway like it all grows here big dangling

01:20:36.420 i'd start talking about the three kingdoms period of chinese history a lot more if i did that like

01:20:42.980 that we'll do an epoch series someone online says they'll only care about the states that got hit as

01:20:48.020 far as they can use them for climate change initiatives that's true uh baron von war kiwi

01:20:52.500 says uh beau in case you're wondering why these people don't move away from hurricane and tornado

01:20:56.740 regions remember that these are some of the poorest states in the union and they can't afford to leave

01:21:00.980 plus i know it's easier said than done it's the most glib thing in the world just move from where your

01:21:06.020 forefathers have always lived just move bro i get a lot of americans saying i know i don't want to 0.71

01:21:11.220 even yeah yeah sucks yeah no i know it's a it's a it's a kind of it's kind of a crappy thing to say

01:21:16.420 actually just move um but yeah if you live at the bottom of a volcano though if you live in the

01:21:22.740 middle of tornado alley that every three four five years is going to get hit by a force four tornado

01:21:27.620 or whatever uh you know bear it in mind as a possibility but yeah if you can't afford it what

01:21:34.100 are you going to do i can see why some native american tribes thought america was a cursed land because

01:21:39.460 you've got hurricanes tornadoes floods earthquakes just no matter where you go there's like a i

01:21:46.740 figured it out there's a narrow window where uh no natural disasters occur i'm not going to tell

01:21:53.460 anyone where somewhere like vermont would probably quite be quite clement quite nice don't know why

01:21:58.500 i've got that in my mind it's a paradise yeah but it's it's bernie sanders is their senator isn't

01:22:04.020 he oh is it yeah so good past that's a hard pass on the chat here yeah uh how am i not covered in

01:22:11.460 cat hair i don't know actually i actually don't know um i don't seem to be though i know i've never

01:22:18.420 noticed when my cat was still alive i was still finding cat hairs on my clothes even after washing

01:22:23.940 them everything possible just ginger hairs anyway the the palest son of yakub says uh georgia and north 0.72

01:22:30.340 carolina swing states biden is either that incompetent or is secretly trying to screw over

01:22:34.180 harris um i think it's incompetence and indifference yeah does not care what happens to those people or

01:22:42.180 what their plight is yeah i think that's another part he just doesn't see him as part of his own

01:22:48.500 constituency right you know if it was happening in like you know detroit or something he'd be oh we're 0.84

01:22:54.340 saving the black community blah blah blah blah but you know it's a bunch of poor white people 0.94

01:22:58.980 in the rural areas of america i mean i saw i saw leftists on twitter being like oh thank god

01:23:03.540 some racists have died much it's always one of those isn't there whenever someone dies someone's

01:23:08.660 glad about it these days uh charlie says to be fair to israel the fact they took out almost the

01:23:13.300 entirety of the hezbollah leadership so quickly and comprehensively is something that will be studied

01:23:17.460 for years to come as how to effectively take out a terrorist organization yeah i mean you know whether

01:23:21.940 you like israel or not you can't you can't deny that it was skillful what they did a few people said

01:23:27.380 when i was watching stuff and reading stuff about it that um that would have taken years

01:23:32.020 of planning oh yeah they were sort of sitting on information for years and years um yeah it's

01:23:38.900 quite remarkable it is remarkable yeah genuinely mr flibble says for as long as i've been aware of

01:23:44.820 the world in general various terrorist groups have been lobbing rockets into israel in the name of

01:23:48.580 peace actually doing something about it is overdue to be honest lancelot says if i wasn't upset with

01:23:54.340 my hometown of melbourne enough they've had rallies mourning the death of a hezbollah terrorist leader

01:24:00.100 there's no talking to these people i'm going to take my guinevere and find a tintagel up north far

01:24:04.260 away from the grim this grim frostbitten madhouse uh melbourne can't be that cold

01:24:11.940 what melbourne australia yeah blimey surely not would be but it can't be that cold well i mean if he's

01:24:17.540 going north where it's warm must be in australia um you know that's why um the argument or the angle

01:24:24.020 of uh shouldn't celebrate any sort of israeli winds on principle so no no no no if they're taking out

01:24:30.100 monsters yeah i'm not against then um yeah good yeah good could also be melbourne derbyshire

01:24:38.900 potentially unlikely to go north to find warmer weather yeah um derek says uh not gonna lie the

01:24:45.460 exploding pages are hilarious only because that one time that looney tunes antics become reality

01:24:52.580 they've done that sort of thing loads of times like they will put an explosive in someone's

01:24:55.940 telephone back in the 70s there was one guy i can't remember exactly who it was but they'd

01:24:59.700 broken into his house and uh put a load of explosive under his telephone and then rang him

01:25:05.140 up and when he picked up hello they detonate it's like they've done they've got they've got past in

01:25:09.620 it reminds me of if 4chan had like a terror cell division like they would just troll people with

01:25:17.700 it's like oh you've got these old-fashioned pages what if they were to blow up oh you're gonna you're

01:25:22.100 gonna accept a phone call what is a bit mimetic is it is yeah mason says uh so it turns out iran was

01:25:27.860 a complete paper tiger i wonder if the same will be said of china um i i don't know and uh big ed says

01:25:35.460 it should also be noted that port worker strike starts there in the us i'm not sure if the dems

01:25:39.700 will be able to fortify their way out of skyrocketed prices if it goes long uh right i didn't realize

01:25:44.580 that a port strike was uh happening might be doing a segment steleos is making some noise about doing

01:25:49.060 a segment about that tomorrow so maybe nothing not promising anything but maybe maybe something then

01:25:53.940 yeah but um but yeah just the point is they're going to steal it they're going to try and steal it

01:25:59.940 uh omar says one main difference is the shift in attitude as reaction to rhetoric they call

01:26:05.380 people racist for so many years that many are unironically embracing it they spent so long

01:26:09.220 calling concerned patriots insurrectionists they better be more careful this time around besides

01:26:13.460 if the punishment for an unarmed tour is the same as a violent insurrection what do people have to

01:26:17.380 lose as a fair point to be honest monkey smoke says representative democracy they think they're too

01:26:22.420 clever um thing scotty says never forget the last time when there was one of the audits of the

01:26:28.020 ballots more ballots arrived during the audit all biden all perfectly printed not a crease among them

01:26:36.500 i tell you that was the the 4am ballot dumps just like come on come on you're gonna look us in the

01:26:42.180 eyes and be like yeah oh they're all biden by the way 100 biden it's 130 of them 30 000 of them

01:26:48.980 they're perfectly pristine on i think they were freshly printed it was just like a handful that were trump

01:26:54.420 just so they had the deniability aspect just well no there were there was somewhere it was 100 biden

01:26:58.900 it was just like come on you know oh it's just woo convenient um anyway he says uh i know this

01:27:06.660 because leftists online boasted about it and claimed it as cell phone they didn't realize uh that it was

01:27:11.060 an audit uh it's not the same as a recount and this is evidence for not a refutation of trump's claims

01:27:16.020 about the lack of election integrity i mean they seem to just be openly at this point being like yeah we

01:27:19.860 want election uh insecure elections it's just what i think if america does get over this though it will

01:27:24.900 be good for america to get all of this so out in the forefront and flagrantly obvious because

01:27:31.620 the result will be you'll be able to mitigate against all of this hopefully i'm trying to be

01:27:36.180 optimistic yeah once i'm not used to it it's not i tell you i am i am worried though i am worried

01:27:41.860 that if it's not a trump landslide then kamala wins i mean god

01:27:45.460 another five years of democrat control would be a disaster for the world but it's like if it was

01:27:54.500 someone like gavin newsom probably not too bad because newsom seems competent even if he is evil 0.85

01:28:00.100 but kamala harris is not competent that's the thing she's evil and incompetent you know so 1.00

01:28:05.780 anyway mason says i don't believe the fortification boxes uh was was of illegal fake ballots i believe the

01:28:12.020 dems loosen the laws around voting then use the democratic machine to ballot harvest a bunch of

01:28:16.100 low propensity voters ballots it was technically legal i'm sure there was some of that i'm sure

01:28:20.500 there was a bunch of that but i think they also just printed a bunch of fake ones because there

01:28:24.900 were loads that were just um that had one vote on it for biden but nothing down ballot and that's

01:28:31.700 really unusual because of course you can take them all right and so to have nothing on the down

01:28:36.660 ballot is very peculiar and you i mean why didn't you fix it i mean i think there was a full spectrum

01:28:43.220 of cheating right yeah i do yeah yeah yeah i think i i really think so why put all your eggs into one

01:28:49.700 basket exactly yeah there's full spectrum dominance and cheating in elections kevin says the department

01:28:55.460 of justice also trying to sue states for trying to remove dead votes from the voter list well yeah we

01:28:59.380 got to it and the thing is as well right like i've had conversations with friends of mine and it's

01:29:03.060 like oh well do you really think they're cheating it's like do you think they're the kind of people

01:29:06.660 who wouldn't cheat do i mean just ask yourself do you think they wouldn't cheat of course they'd cheat

01:29:12.820 so how naive yeah got to be to course they would cheat some people are still so naive yeah i remember

01:29:19.300 speaking to someone not too long ago about the idea well anyway i won't bother going into it but some

01:29:22.820 people just like as if they would start a war over oil and claim they're not doing that yeah of course

01:29:28.820 they would as if they would cheat at a general election like oh you're so cynical no you're

01:29:33.940 naive yeah yeah you're naive yeah no i'm sure california is just really deep blue bro yeah

01:29:39.300 i'm sure they just love democrat rule in california bro you know come on anyway
