The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters #1087

00:00:00.000 good afternoon ladies and gentlemen welcome to the podcast the lotus eaters for the 27th of january

00:00:04.840 bad news it's a monday good news i'm joined by beau and we're going to be talking about some

00:00:09.640 good news actually uh how the god emperor is laying down the law in pretty much everything

00:00:15.500 how he is putting the world to rights with say the jan 6 protesters and uh what was the final

00:00:21.860 thing i was going to cover oh yeah that's right yeah that's right trump's killing off dei which

00:00:27.460 again just it's a monday but it's not a bad monday which is nice to be able to say isn't it um right

00:00:34.600 so let's uh let's begin it's trump what it's trump's world now uh he just owns it he is exerting the

00:00:43.780 american influence over it and everyone is falling into line the king has returned he's back from

00:00:50.700 crusade or from oubliette or wherever he's been and uh i mean it is kind of like a richard the lionheart

00:00:56.780 coming from back from crusade isn't it he's been in prison for however many years king john has

00:01:02.020 been ruining the country and suddenly richard gets back and everyone's saying okay yeah we'll do as

00:01:06.780 we're told and that's very much uh what trump's doing so recently it is a remarkable thing that

00:01:12.680 you got re-elected after a term out of office like say grover cleveland's the only other person to have

00:01:17.120 done that in sort of remarkable political it is is quite a vindication yes future historians will

00:01:25.020 wonder why joe biden got 81 million votes and why they didn't turn up a second time

00:01:29.340 people will genuinely oh i don't understand well there was a lot of controversy at this at the time

00:01:34.720 blah blah blah and if he had just got re-elected in 2020 he almost certainly would be

00:01:42.340 how to put it less radical or more milk toast than he is now also they've radicalized him way further

00:01:48.820 than he was back in 2016 yes they have and in some ways he'd be a lot more lame as well there'd be a

00:01:55.340 less less that he would be able to do but uh no yeah giving him a four-year timeout has definitely

00:02:02.100 radicalized him and uh allowed him the space he needed to draw up a list of enemies to prescribe

00:02:09.280 people as it were uh because they didn't just leave him alone in that interim period they tried to

00:02:14.180 destroy him on every possible level including shooting at him yes so including assassination

00:02:20.260 attempts including lawfare including attempting to bankrupt him banning him from having property in

00:02:25.420 new york making his name um sort of harris straten in a way like as if you know they because there

00:02:33.360 there are various public intellectuals who just won't say trump's name they you know they they treat

00:02:38.500 him as if he's the unnameable uh who's the villain from harry voldemort that's it voldemort yeah

00:02:43.360 you know he shall not be named and things like this so it's like yeah they did everything they

00:02:47.340 could and it failed and now trump's in charge of everything and so he's beginning so um this is the

00:02:54.440 wrong sets that uh jack um but so he's uh begun with making sure that foreign countries are well aware

00:03:04.560 that they are taking their illegal migrants back uh and this has been going on constantly i've talked

00:03:13.180 about this on friday where day one hit the ground running tom homan has just been like yep no

00:03:19.200 unleash the hordes going into these communities grabbing illegal criminals and he said he's

00:03:25.440 starting with the worst first and putting them on planes and sending them home and so colombia uh

00:03:31.160 was like well hang on a second we're not gonna allow that so colombia obviously has a leftist

00:03:35.600 president because south america why wouldn't it uh and uh the the uh gustavo petro has said nope we're

00:03:44.600 not going to allow u.s migrant deportation flights to land uh quotes the u.s cannot treat colombian

00:03:50.400 migrants as criminals what about the criminal ones they are actual criminals this is the thing

00:03:57.540 homan has gone after actual after actual criminals people who have illegally broken into the united

00:04:03.060 states anyway but then have committed other crimes and uh of course the leftist president is just

00:04:08.880 like well you're just saying that we're all criminals it's like i'm not saying that yet

00:04:12.420 it's not just criminal as in that they cross the border illegally but these guys are

00:04:18.720 actual rapists murderers drug traffics the worst of the worst the worst people the sort of people

00:04:24.160 who've got a list of criminal convictions in their name and for some reason they're just allowed

00:04:27.160 to roam free in the united states how telling is it that they knew exactly where they were who they

00:04:32.280 were where they were again what a terrible terrible indictment it is of the previous administration

00:04:38.160 that they just allowed yeah allowed them well it makes you wonder doesn't it it's like why would

00:04:45.440 you allow a multiple convicted rapist or murder or drug trafficker to allow to reside in the united

00:04:51.020 states you know where they are it's not like they're in hiding yeah you know this turns up at

00:04:56.500 their door day one yeah yeah why would you not have already deported that person and the only answer

00:05:02.340 that you can reasonably come to is you approve of what that person has done and you want them to

00:05:06.140 continue doing it why else would you want that person remaining in the country well now we're going

00:05:10.580 to give him another chance what he's on his eighth conviction why would you do this so do you think he's

00:05:14.940 going to break the habit of lifetimes or maybe this time no no one's that naive the only thing that

00:05:19.420 you can assume is that it's malevolence that they want them to carry on committing these crimes in the

00:05:23.700 united states which thankfully trump is taking very seriously and uh has just decided to say no

00:05:30.480 they're all going back and so anyway colombian president uh gustavo petro decided he was going

00:05:36.660 to put up a brave resistance and say no we're not having that and so again this was happening sunday

00:05:42.320 night right so trump has not taken a moment off either trump you can tell that trump has just been

00:05:47.320 full bore on this and so trump posted this on truth social which is just wonderful and for some reason

00:05:54.520 my mouse has stopped working um it's just wonderful right so he says i was just informed that two

00:06:00.300 repatriation flights from the united states and a large number of illegal criminals were not allowed

00:06:03.880 to land in colombia this audio was given by colombia's socialist president gustavo petro

00:06:07.920 who's already very unpopular amongst his people i love the way the personal attacks begin

00:06:11.500 i don't know why my mouth stopped working anyway uh who's very unpopular amongst his people now

00:06:19.600 sorry but pull the back up so i can see it um petro's denial of these flights has jeopardized

00:06:23.840 national security and public safety in the united states so i've directed my administration to

00:06:27.340 immediately take the following urgent and decisive retaliatory measures emergency 25 percent tariffs on

00:06:33.460 all goods coming to the united states in one week those 25 percent tariffs will be raised to 50 percent

00:06:38.580 tariffs it's hardball isn't it it's very hardball it's like sorry did you expect to export goods to

00:06:45.700 the united states did you petro not on my watch you've got one week is it's this bad in the first

00:06:52.720 week and then it gets worse right a travel ban and immediate visa revocations on the colombian

00:06:58.220 government officials and all allies and supporters so trump's saying that anyone who is even vaguely

00:07:04.160 connected with this government bam you're not coming to my country then visa sanctions and all

00:07:08.520 party members family members and supporters of the colombian government i mean that is coming down

00:07:13.520 like a ton of bricks that is amazing just not messing around anymore i tweeted saying this is how an actual

00:07:21.200 leader who's got the uh the interests of their own country and their own people at heart this is how

00:07:27.060 you would behave yes um make the the small and irrelevant nation of colombia understand that they're

00:07:33.660 having their own criminals back you can't just offload your criminals to our country that's just how it

00:07:39.520 is and you're going to have to deal with that and uh so gustavo replied to this via twitter via a

00:07:46.480 mucho wall of texto this you see goes on for quite some time i've done a google translate so i'm going to read

00:07:56.100 some of it uh he uh says that uh some socialist leaders were murdered uh by fascists who are within

00:08:05.360 the usa as well as in my country i have no idea and i don't care right but the point is it's like oh

00:08:10.700 you're a social you're a fascist blah blah blah right and then he starts getting really leftist about it

00:08:16.960 i don't like your oil trump you're going to wipe out the human species because of greed

00:08:22.560 calm down gustavo uh maybe one day over a glass of whiskey which i accept despite my gastritis

00:08:30.400 we can talk frankly about this but it's difficult because you consider me an inferior race and i'm not

00:08:36.540 nor is any colombian what are you talking about bro just take your foreign criminals back

00:08:41.380 your criminals are not going to live in the united states mate i don't know what you're talking

00:08:47.160 about inferior races or anything like this right wiping out the human race just just take these

00:08:52.340 criminals back put them in your own jails right he says so if you know someone who's stubborn that's

00:08:58.320 me period you can try and carry out a coup with your economic what are you talking about take your

00:09:04.260 foreign criminals home why are you talking about coups why are you talking about master races or inferior

00:09:09.540 races why are you talking about any of these things you lunatic right he's like yeah they're

00:09:13.740 going to overthrow us like they did with elende i will die in my law i resisted torture and i resist

00:09:18.760 you what are you doing i don't want slavers next to colombia we already had many and freed ourselves

00:09:26.180 what i want next to colombia he's talking about america our lovers of freedom if you can't accompany

00:09:30.860 me i'll go elsewhere colombia is the heart of the world and you don't you didn't understand that

00:09:36.240 this the land of yellow butterflies of the beauty just just take your criminals back like what you

00:09:43.060 don't like our freedom okay i don't shake hands with white slavers it's like what are you oh i didn't

00:09:51.620 know trump was a slaver no he's how many slaves has he got on his plantations well you know what let's

00:09:56.260 let's get to that in a minute because he says quote i shake hands with the white libertarian

00:10:00.300 heirs of lincoln trump is a republican president you support the democrats what are you talking about

00:10:08.920 they are the united states and before them i kneel no one else right so you

00:10:15.840 you you support the republicans but not trump who is a republican he owns slaves

00:10:23.160 anyway he says overthrow me president and the americas and humanity will respond it's like just

00:10:29.260 just take the flights just take the flights uh he goes on and says colombia now stops looking north

00:10:35.500 looks at the world our blood comes from the blood of the caliphate of cordoba the civilization of that

00:10:41.260 time of the roman letters is a very racial nationalist speech this whole thing the the mediterranean

00:10:47.100 the civilization of time you founded republic democracy in athens our blood has the black

00:10:51.320 resistance fighters turned into slaves by you what are you talking about what is this like this is

00:10:58.420 deranged i was gonna say it sounds like an unhinged rant about anything about race and superiority

00:11:04.840 actually which is when slavery which is just like what are you going on about and the thing is like

00:11:12.620 again it just said like just take the goddamn prisoners back that's what you're the criminals that's all

00:11:17.580 you have to do right uh he carries on forever right he says quote you will never rule us it's like

00:11:26.000 take the prisoners back what are you talking about anyway so he he carries on he says apparently that

00:11:34.520 the america took the panama canal from colombia uh he raises again this goes on his really long

00:11:41.280 like screed your blockade does not scare me because colombia besides being the country of beauty is the

00:11:47.260 heart of the world he repeats that um from today on this is all in capitals at the bottom

00:11:51.680 colombia is open to the entire world with arms we're the builders of freedom life and humanity it's

00:11:57.560 like then just take back your criminals mate uh i'm informed that you impose a 50 percent

00:12:02.980 tariffs on the fruit of our human labor to enter the united states and i do the same so he's imposing

00:12:06.840 tariffs back on the united states let's our people plant yeah let's yeah america's like we

00:12:14.260 import from colombia yeah um apart from drugs obviously which they try not to import um let

00:12:21.500 our stupid let our people plant corn that was discovered in colombia and freed the world so it's

00:12:25.620 just stupid idealist idealistic leftism so anyway that lasted for about 40 minutes and uh then they

00:12:31.480 capitulated uh colombia then started sending the presidential plane over to bring the prisoners back

00:12:36.180 to colombia i wonder exactly what happened in that interim who came into the presidential office and

00:12:42.960 said what wow it will literally be his chief economist has walked and said so we can't do this

00:12:47.360 that's well and good good staff but uh these towers are actually going to ruin us mr presidente i guess

00:12:55.240 we will all starve yeah i guess that's what it was yeah or maybe it was just always bluster they knew

00:13:01.840 they were going to have to capitulate so he you know like a little bit of bluster just before you run

00:13:06.620 away in a fight which is very much what has happened um yeah i mean like the thing is i i view as yeah

00:13:14.180 he's got these like high-minded leftist ideals but the reality is you're going to take the prisoners in

00:13:19.040 fact he's he'll send you the presidential plane of colombia to go and collect them actually uh because

00:13:24.300 we don't really get to make these decisions and you've pretty much made it clear you're going to screw us

00:13:29.980 it's not just sort of a climb down or or a u-turn but like a a hand a handbrake turn like a panicked

00:13:37.680 handbrake turn yes after after a weird racial supremacist screed from the president of colombia

00:13:43.240 he then bent the knee and said yeah no we'll we'll we'll completely do exactly as you're asking for

00:13:48.020 don't put tariffs on us please um and so yeah that's easy win for trump and this was just a nice

00:13:54.580 sunday evening i guess for the donald uh there's that oh there's the idea that that trump is the

00:14:01.640 master of the deal we got well he has shown again and again that he is able to actually leverage stuff

00:14:09.740 and people uh other foreign countries and things take him seriously when he says to north korea i'll

00:14:16.680 send you back to stone age whatever he was i'll annihilate you little rocket man or whatever he said i

00:14:20.820 can't remember my red button's bigger than yours yeah people are like uh okay okay well well that's

00:14:26.740 the thing isn't it i don't think you're bluffing so you're there enough you've got to seem like

00:14:31.180 you're going to follow through on your red lines and trump does sound like the kind of guy who seems

00:14:35.080 like he actually will and this is one of the problems that of course people have had with like

00:14:39.400 obama or biden like they just let people run roughshod of them and they didn't enforce their own

00:14:44.040 boundaries anyway so trump's not taking any prisoners here and he posted this on true social

00:14:48.360 he posted that he posted which is for anyone listening today i generated picture of trump

00:14:54.520 dressed as like a 20s mobster with fafo on a sign next to him i don't know what that means what's

00:15:00.820 that uh f around and find out okay right of course right right uh and uh trump is giving the camera a

00:15:07.200 kind of steely look uh not not he actually did post this not not taking any prisoners and uh so this was

00:15:14.740 an amazingly entertaining night's work i was just following this on twitter last night it's like

00:15:18.980 wow you know if only we had i don't know the ability to threaten pakistan with revoking visas and not

00:15:26.440 sending them aid money and tariffs on anything if they would you know not take back their foreign

00:15:31.980 prisoners that we have currently filling our jails because i mean you know first thing that starman

00:15:37.740 noted is oh the jails are overflowing so okay well why do we have like 25 foreign prison population

00:15:42.000 why don't we send them home well they won't take them make them take them so you know actually lead

00:15:48.220 actually yeah actually do something yeah uh one of the criticisms would be that america's got a lot

00:15:54.280 more leverage than than britain which is true but we've still got all sorts of things we can't that

00:15:58.820 can be done we give them 113 million pounds a year right yeah why i mean i would just revoke that

00:16:04.180 anyway yeah there's all sorts of pressure that can be done yeah if you just had the political will

00:16:10.180 to do it and trump as we were saying earlier from the four years out of power has definitely hardened

00:16:15.600 the man's heart uh trump clearly has that political will and again what i love about this is all this

00:16:21.040 was probably trump on the toilet tweeting right what am i doing now i'm i'm ben i'm making the president

00:16:27.580 of columbia bow that's what i'm doing i'm making him do exactly what i want uh and then i'm gonna wipe

00:16:33.520 anyway so uh lots of people were upset about this oh aoc to punish columbia trump is about to make

00:16:42.740 every american pay even more for coffee it's like dude it's worth it to get rid of the murderers

00:16:46.520 like sorry there are dangerous people wandering around or you pay like 50 60 cents extra for coffee

00:16:51.440 whatever it is or buy non-columbian coffee yeah or buy yeah or buy coffee that was grown elsewhere

00:16:55.940 it's really not that difficult there are other countries like yeah we'll take our guys back if you

00:17:00.660 want to give us like a favorable deal on coffee we'll do that you know um but yeah so the the

00:17:06.540 only but no it's the only her only concern it's like it's not for the victims of these murderers or

00:17:11.900 other criminals it's not for the potential victims that they would uh create in the future it's the

00:17:16.980 fact that i've got to pay extra for my coffee look at that it's 50 more now but that's really

00:17:21.300 inconvenient i really didn't want that to be the case so she doesn't feel like she's in danger from

00:17:26.560 these criminals and it actually is in my opinion immoral yes when you weigh up uh the possibility

00:17:33.680 of having to pay a bit more for columbian coffee or the safety of people and we're talking about

00:17:39.460 rapes and murders and violent crime the worst crimes it's not like they're stealing your bike or

00:17:44.420 something which is terrible anyway but like you know these are brutal crimes so yeah so you weigh

00:17:50.480 those two things up and you disregard the violent crime aspect yeah i mean it doesn't disgusting

00:17:56.660 thing you would think it wouldn't even need consideration right so no trump is doing and

00:18:03.020 that's the point as well trump has got a completely valid moral imperative at work here i'm worrying

00:18:08.100 about the lives of americans right you know okay it'll be inconvenient if you have to have orange juice

00:18:12.400 or tea rather than your coffee in the morning assuming you can't buy coffee from somewhere else yeah

00:18:16.160 that is inconvenient sorry to hear that you know but actually i want these people to still be alive

00:18:22.740 and so you know you'll just have to work out what your breakfast routine is going to be frankly you

00:18:29.860 know you just have to figure out a new breakfast routine um anyway so the uh the the the last part

00:18:36.140 was well we buy flowers from columbia think of how difficult valentine's day is going to be

00:18:41.960 i don't grow any flowers in the united states not possible that's not a thing so it's apparently

00:18:47.960 not and there's there's nowhere else on earth that grows flowers uh but even if they were even if there

00:18:53.520 wasn't um okay buy chocolates instead you know trump isn't imposing tariffs on belgium you know

00:18:59.140 anyway so uh yeah this this columbian example is a very uh emblematic example of how things can be done

00:19:07.160 and uh lots of other leftist south american governments are also unhappy brazil's leftist

00:19:12.640 government was outraged after illegal aliens deported from the united states arrived by the plane in

00:19:17.440 handcuffs like yes they're criminals these are literally all going to be convicted criminals

00:19:22.700 dangerous men people who have been part of gangs people have been drug trafficking people murder and

00:19:27.960 raping these are i mean as if brazil hasn't got a massive problem with crime right this is one of the

00:19:34.000 major pillars of bolsonaro's government it's like no we're gonna want the cops and we're gonna make

00:19:37.080 sure these these gangs are broken uh but anyway yeah so they're brazil not happy it's like well

00:19:42.280 uh keep crying because trump is literally going to make you take them back and of course the uh

00:19:47.760 haitian i don't even know what is there a leader in haiti i'm not even sure if there is but uh

00:19:53.940 apparently he said well look trump sending back all of our illegal aliens that's catastrophic news for

00:19:59.240 our country like well then why would why would you want them to live in america i mean there's

00:20:05.320 literally haitian gangs in like ohio or whatever raiding people's like you know places in springfield

00:20:10.960 ohio whatever it's like no is it venezuelans yeah but hey i mean is come on it's haiti man you know

00:20:19.500 is your country not already the recipient of living in a catastrophe how much worse can it get

00:20:25.000 but this is just such amazing evidence it's like well if you send them back it'll be really ruinous

00:20:30.740 for us it's like oh yeah it's not why they're here in the first place is it you know you thought

00:20:36.180 you were offloading all of this so when trump was like yeah they're emptying their prisons and sending

00:20:39.720 them to us maybe he was correct anyway so there are you know just a couple of other things that trump

00:20:47.380 is throwing his geopolitical muscle around on uh which is putin and the war in ukraine so putin look

00:20:53.680 this is ridiculous millions of lives have been lost he said this at the uh the davos weff speech

00:20:58.740 he zoomed in and uh just chewed them all out and they all sat there and gave him a polite round of

00:21:03.820 applause afterwards it was really embarrassing for them and it was a beautiful thing to watch

00:21:07.700 it's funny the change the sea change there's been because i remember in his first administration at

00:21:14.400 one point he went to the un and people sort of laughing oh yes they're not this now he gets sort of a

00:21:20.400 muted round of applause it wasn't even muted they they they were all like good clapping seals and

00:21:26.620 they were complimenting him consistently they're like mr president your your brilliant ideas on this

00:21:31.980 and the other and trump basically just chewed them all out and they all said thank you sir can i have

00:21:36.200 another and it's so good and so yeah anyway trump uh is like putin knocked this off and putin's like

00:21:41.620 yeah okay i'm ready for negotiations uh yeah we better wind this down because trump's in charge again

00:21:46.920 and uh we can't just f around because we might find out which is the point and so the question is

00:21:54.320 do people like trump acting this way do people approve of him improving the united states putting

00:22:01.860 his foot down on the necks of people who might otherwise be described as dictators and tyrants and

00:22:07.440 the answer is yes obviously trump has now got record-breaking approval levels uh for the first time

00:22:13.560 ever trump has a positive net approval rating of plus 14 which is way higher than kia stama

00:22:20.780 who has an approval rating of something like minus 40 um this is uh literally a record-breaking

00:22:27.100 milestone for him and also when the british public is asked well would you like us to do something

00:22:32.460 similar well as long as they didn't ask uh as long as they didn't say these are trump's policies

00:22:38.200 as long as they just uh asked whether on this particular thing so on illegal immigration and

00:22:43.860 deportations uh would you like to declare a national emergency and uh begin the process of

00:22:48.220 returning the thousands of criminal migrants back to the places from which they came weirdly 58 percent

00:22:52.180 of people like yeah i do like that actually as long as they don't attach trump's name to it so you can

00:22:55.860 see the propaganda war that the british press has been waging against the british public

00:22:59.280 to stigma stigmatize trump yeah okay they'll be like oh i don't want to don't want to be stigmatized by

00:23:04.360 the press but when asked in isolation would you like trade protectionism i wonder just on that um

00:23:10.540 i wonder how much of the 25 that said no were criminals yeah or are people first first generation

00:23:17.700 um immigrants um great question we don't know honestly because one of the thing that one of the

00:23:24.800 arguments that gets made about uh like sort of defending uh reform and sort of uh not not

00:23:31.640 rupert lowe but nigel and tyson the others that say we can't we just can't talk about remigration

00:23:37.100 because it's too toxic it's i just don't buy that well i mean i feel like people screaming out for it

00:23:43.560 58 percent of the public are like yeah send them home of course it's not too toxic this is by far

00:23:49.740 the centrist position which is deporting thousands of criminal migrants who broke in

00:23:53.380 at the bare minimum that's just the basic sort of entry level thing it actually is centrist

00:23:58.340 now to not want your country flooded most people in the country agree with that i think so and with

00:24:05.640 all of the things like would you like a merit-based colorblind society yes of course would you like

00:24:10.740 energy independence yes would you like to restore free speech yes of course people say yes and again

00:24:16.960 it's the same sort of quarter of the population that the labor voting uh leftovers of the previous

00:24:22.620 paradigm who are just like no we have to have a socialist tyranny um people are not in favor of

00:24:27.980 that actually and people do want what trump wants and this is why trump is now more popular than i

00:24:35.500 think any european leader at this point i mean maybe orban or someone but like all of the sort of you

00:24:40.440 know neolib macron merkel you know ursula von der leyen keir starmer types trump's way more popular than

00:24:47.720 all of them when you look at the examples of mille and bukele um bukele is the most popular president

00:24:54.220 in the world with an approval rate of about 90 percent the average person that can't afford to

00:24:59.640 live in some sort of gated community or somewhere where it never really touches them if it if that's

00:25:04.740 not you i.e the vast the vast majority of people in in most every country then yeah they're gonna want

00:25:13.160 to be more safe please yeah of course um right let's uh let's go to some soup chats um

00:25:19.900 i can't read a bunch of these but yes glee that is indeed what he was like um is farajan reform

00:25:28.200 taking notes so are farajan reform taking notes on how to defend your borders or is trump going to

00:25:33.060 have to correct their behavior in a soundproof shipping container with a lead pipe uh honestly

00:25:37.340 it seems it's gonna end up being a lead pipe uh trump's life as a property magnet uh was basically

00:25:42.560 training for learning to find pressure points and press them sharp and hard until he gets a deal

00:25:46.860 he feels is suitable yeah that does seem to be the case i mean like at least he knows how to get

00:25:51.060 people to do what he wants superb uh trump schooled columbia while golfing another day's work

00:25:57.460 it's i like the fact he's not taking a day off i just like the fact he's just going hard on them

00:26:02.960 yeah dear columbia we will ruin your your country your economy now watch this drive yeah yeah yeah

00:26:08.600 yeah yeah if anyone doesn't know that's george bush uh what was he saying about he was talking

00:26:14.640 about how the whole world has to come together and face terrorism that's right and then he's like

00:26:18.440 now and he just turns around now watch this drive and he just shoots a golf ball um one of the best

00:26:24.080 parts about the columbia situation is that trump was golfing uh yeah uh trump's not putting his foot

00:26:29.360 down he's putting his foot foot up and you know where he's putting it into yeah fair enough

00:26:32.920 and uh beau if that beer gets any longer are you going to get a cowboy hat sunglasses a fuzzy guitar

00:26:39.000 so you can audition for zz top i i like it to be honest um perhaps the president of columbia should

00:26:45.460 lay off his country's two most famous exports yeah that's another thing as well and he just he came

00:26:50.140 across as deeply unhinged frankly uh which is interesting uh trump is so gangster that i'm starting

00:26:55.760 to expect world leaders who defy him to wake up next to horse heads uh he is pretty gangster i mean

00:27:01.000 i love the mob boss picture that he put up that was funny the two uh most famous experts it's like

00:27:05.780 the first response was he was on cocaine yeah the second response he was high on weed yeah

00:27:10.560 and you know maybe he was uh over the weekend ice dea and atf raided a building and arrested 50

00:27:18.240 members of the trend de aguara gang they found drugs trafficking victims and 50 legal criminals in

00:27:23.920 one go glorious again tom homan you can tell he's having a great time as well if you see him in

00:27:28.220 interviews he's just smiling he's constantly and he's not like the sort of guy who looks like he

00:27:32.460 smiles a lot right it doesn't look like a jolly fellow uh except for when he's deporting illegals

00:27:39.520 um the engaged few says they came for the illegal criminals and i did nothing then they came for

00:27:44.900 the illegal aliens i did nothing then they stopped coming for people and things got better uh yeah

00:27:48.800 things will get better for americans there's a thing i was gonna say about when you look at the

00:27:53.380 examples of mile and bukele um is uh it's it's relatively easy and straightforward not to to

00:28:02.880 have policies which don't just destroy your country right when you're correct when you look at when you

00:28:09.420 look at how mile has got uh inflation under control when you look at how bukele has got safety under

00:28:15.440 control it's like it's kind of the policies themselves are very straightforward yes it's nothing

00:28:21.460 sort of out of left field or something that's never been done before or anything like that

00:28:25.400 scientist to work out i mean i tweeted at bukele the other day um because there was an article that

00:28:31.400 was uh the the police in atlanta georgia were like look 40 of crime in atlanta which is you know

00:28:38.060 millions of people there is done by 1 000 people constant repeat criminals i was like is there a

00:28:44.420 solution to this mr bukele he's like i don't know what you're suggesting

00:28:47.140 it is i think nearly always the way that the majority of crime is done by actually a relatively

00:28:54.080 small number of people that just will not stop doing criminal things yes so you should lock them

00:28:58.680 up really not again it's not rocket science uh neo-unrealist says the golden age of america has

00:29:04.160 been better than advertised yeah to be honest it's been going great i'm really jealous like my my twitter

00:29:08.980 feed for the past couple of days has just been deportations oh my god jesus i've seen what you've done for

00:29:14.860 others but um yeah there was a video of tom homan and dr phil they had arrested some thai illegal

00:29:24.120 immigrant who was also a kiddie diddler and dr phil's asking like tom homan is there at the

00:29:30.080 deportation because it's like this guy's clearly enjoying himself but um yeah daddy's home now and

00:29:34.960 the unruly brats are terrified because he's taking off his belt yeah that's that's what's happening

00:29:37.980 anyway it's kind of cool i like the idea that the the actual home secretary is at the airport

00:29:42.940 uh where people are getting deported i'm hoping they're waving them off you don't have to be here

00:29:47.700 i know anyway let's uh let's move on from that good news and go to the next good news all right so

00:29:57.640 we need to really talk about january 6th because we haven't covered it yet on notice eaters what what

00:30:02.540 not in any detail anyway yeah um sort of the the new the new developments so uh he's now trump did

00:30:10.660 some sort of what they keep calling blanket pardons for somewhere in the region of 1500 people

00:30:16.440 that were held where did he get the inspiration for that from oh right it was joe biden blanket

00:30:22.280 pardoning uh thousands and thousands of criminals and his entire own family wasn't it sorry i forgot

00:30:26.760 there is one thing jumping ahead i was going to leave this angle for a bit later but may as well just

00:30:30.900 say now uh that is one thing that is uh worrying to me and it's a broader point it's a broader point

00:30:37.460 not that i've got any problem personally with what's happening with the jan 6th hostages yes

00:30:42.880 political prisoners um but the idea that going forward looking into the future years decades down

00:30:50.080 the road um it it doesn't bode well um that presidents it's it's not what the the presidential

00:30:59.200 pardon was originally meant for is to be doing things like this um it isn't if if trump um was uh

00:31:07.440 a smart chap what he'd do is bring forth legislation get it through the senate and congress say look

00:31:12.120 there's a limit to this or there's some sort of restriction on it or whatever you can't just have

00:31:16.400 infinite pardons of your supporters for the fun of it yeah yeah because like i say i'm on board with

00:31:22.580 this yeah this is a good use of it um but you can see that in the future both sides will uh keep

00:31:29.660 abusing it again there's there's parallels with the the ancient roman republic is that there's things

00:31:34.640 because what trump's done and what biden did is completely legal it is within the framework of

00:31:40.600 what is legal so but that's how republic's fracture and break and eventually fall apart is that

00:31:46.420 you you keep pushing closer and closer to you keep you do things that are legal like a lot of the

00:31:53.120 tribunes in towards the late roman republic were doing things that weren't illegal yeah but what it

00:31:59.320 meant was just when the other side are in power they do it more it's a tit-for-tat thing they do it even

00:32:04.120 more and then you're sort of forced in one way or another to do it even more and then it gets to

00:32:08.440 extreme lengths and then the law does get really bent to the point of being broken and then you're

00:32:14.180 then you're a prescription list right so you can you maybe decades from now it we will get to a point

00:32:22.340 where it's sort of the marius sulla days well it's not just pardoning people that have been unfairly

00:32:27.600 prosecuted or something but it is something much darker than that yep and trump trump has the

00:32:33.980 opportunity to nip it in the bud here by just legislating against it right i don't know how

00:32:39.120 it would work i'm not a legal scholar or anything but um but he should definitely do something but

00:32:43.560 anyway so it was late i'm not sure if it was late last night or late saturday night

00:32:47.320 um he just sort of did these blanket pardons 1500 odd people and among those 1500 odd people depending

00:32:56.020 on which outlet you listen to between 175 or maybe 600 of them were people that have been accused of

00:33:02.800 or actually convicted of violent violent things on that day um and so that is that is a bit bit of a

00:33:11.980 gray area when he was actually signing the thing he said trump said there's only sort of six cases

00:33:17.020 where they're actually gonna uh look at it very closely um so it's not a complete blanket

00:33:24.060 but still i mean to be fair even if it was a complete blanket how many uh police officers or special

00:33:32.860 service or security died that day well from the rioters and the answer is none how many rioters died

00:33:39.480 because of them well the answer is one especially babbit yes and so even if the rioters are guilty

00:33:46.600 of like smashing some like property damage or something it's not the worst thing in the world

00:33:52.000 to pardon those people they didn't murder anyone well it was a mass trespass event is what it really was

00:33:58.100 um yeah not actually an assault on the core ideals and values of the united states i mean are you sure

00:34:06.100 that messing up nancy pelosi's office isn't an assault on the core ideals of values of the united states

00:34:10.440 all right so there's a clip here we can watch it let's not put the uh don't put the audio and we

00:34:16.760 don't need it but it's just uh to give people an idea of i mean it's from cbs so just an idea of

00:34:21.820 uh what's going on and uh they they did release um jacob chansley that's the anon shaman fella

00:34:30.300 um oh yeah yeah the yeah the guy with the horns yeah it's sort of the face of it in many ways yeah

00:34:37.300 um also the proud boys leaders leader enrique tario i saw that yeah um the former oath keepers

00:34:45.440 leader stuart rhodes and um our very own edward jacob lang who josh i say our very own yeah josh has

00:34:53.900 interviewed the guy twice from prison yeah and he was facing among the worst charges but never

00:35:00.280 actually had a trial yeah he was held on what we would call being held on remand for years without

00:35:05.420 a trial i mean this is literally what habeas corpus is for so it's very very difficult not to describe

00:35:11.340 him as a political prisoner he's just yeah he was a political prisoner um and i don't personally i

00:35:17.540 don't think it's going too far just to call them of course that's what trump calls them

00:35:20.300 in in the clip where he's actually signing the thing he just calls them hostages based all right

00:35:26.600 what a hero yeah loving the golden age so far so if we go to the next link uh jack who's actually

00:35:35.540 doing it today harry oh yeah so you can see on uh and and the next couple of links you can see

00:35:41.120 that lotus eaters have uh spoken to him and this is this is josh like literally um phoning him

00:35:48.960 from prison so he's on a prison phone and so at some points it ends up cutting out sometimes

00:35:53.520 and it's like okay is someone listening to this and someone deliberately and it entirely possible

00:35:58.440 that they were oh yeah i would have thought so um in the third lotus eaters link there we actually got

00:36:03.260 a timeline that uh uh josh and hugo put together very soon after in fact it's the 7th of january 2021

00:36:09.720 the next day um and it's almost a minute by minute breakdown of what happened and they haven't had

00:36:17.000 to i don't believe they've had to revise any of it no no it's been very solid um because it was

00:36:23.500 it's straightforward it's all sort of there in footage in in black and white and all sorts of

00:36:27.740 things obviously it was a it was disruption and it was a trespass event i'm not going to try and claim

00:36:33.640 like nothing illegal happened it is illegal to yeah to do what a lot of the people did but but you

00:36:40.480 you can see that nonetheless but then what's really good about this is again it's got the exact times

00:36:45.080 of things right so 3 um p.m uh roughly um sort of where is it about 2 59 uh the congress people

00:36:54.480 are evacuated 307 the protesters have entered the chamber and at four um where is it from 4 17

00:37:03.400 p.m trump released a video on twitter asking for the violence stopping people to go home so it's

00:37:07.380 like we've got all of the evidence here that trump wasn't just like yeah go get them you know overthrow

00:37:13.280 democracy it took an hour for trump to have a video on twitter saying look stop doing what you're doing

00:37:17.900 get out so i think this is what this all boils down to is the narrative you believe about what

00:37:25.580 happened that day yeah and one narrative is the uh a load of mega people turned up trump tried to dial

00:37:35.060 it all down more than once on that day as well earlier in that day i believe he oh yeah he tweeted

00:37:39.680 yeah right earlier on yeah um they didn't heed it and then a mass trespass event took place

00:37:46.560 in which ashley babbitt was murdered yes um and and and that's it that's basically it that's what

00:37:53.720 happened that day that's one narrative one i choose to believe for anyone that's reasonable

00:37:58.640 actually it seems to be what actually happened the other narrative is the one the dems went with

00:38:03.760 um which is that it was it was a it was an attack on not just the building but on on the on the

00:38:12.440 democracy itself on the republic itself on the ideals and values and um i mean i wrote an article if we

00:38:19.780 uh go a bunch of clips later um there is a on the one year anniversary of it um kamala harris

00:38:30.700 is it one link before that that one can we actually listen to about two two or three minutes of this

00:38:38.540 would that be all right uh and this is this is obviously the dems narrative of what happened that

00:38:43.520 so take it back to the very beginning and uh we'll watch this fellow americans good morning

00:38:52.440 certain dates echo throughout history including dates that instantly remind all who have lived

00:39:02.280 through them where they were and what they were doing when our democracy came under assault

00:39:10.120 dates that occupy not only a place on our calendars but a place in our collective memory

00:39:19.460 december 7 1941 september 11 2001 and january 6 2021

00:39:30.260 on that day i was not only vice president-elect i was also a united states senator

00:39:38.540 senator and i was here at the capitol that morning at a classified hearing with fellow members of the

00:39:46.340 senate intelligence committee hours later the gates of the capitol were breached i had left

00:39:55.400 but my thoughts immediately turned not only to my colleagues but to my staff who had been forced

00:40:04.400 to seek refuge in our office converting filing cabinets into barricades what the extremists who roamed these halls

00:40:16.120 targeted was not only the lives of elected leaders what they sought to degrade and destroy

00:40:26.700 was not only a building hallowed as it is what they were assaulting were the institutions the values the ideals

00:40:41.040 that generations of americans have marched picketed and shed blood to establish and defend

00:40:52.560 on january 6th we all saw what our nation would look like if the forces who seek to dismantle

00:41:06.360 our democracy are successful the lawlessness the violence the chaos

00:41:16.760 what was at stake then and now is the right to have our future decided the way the constitution

00:41:29.440 prescribes it by we the people all the people we cannot let our future be decided by those bent

00:41:43.380 on silencing our voices overturning our votes and peddling lies and misinformation

00:41:52.160 okay you can stuff it there by some um i really like to just juxtapose that with just the picture

00:41:59.380 of the guy carrying the podium and waving yeah so all the violence so oh you bought this guy come on

00:42:04.140 you know all the violence not the murder of ashley babbitt not that bit not that that was the actual

00:42:08.720 violence um yeah uh but obviously there's the sanctimonious tone i can't stand it um but also

00:42:15.660 just uh gaslighting that they dare talk about misinformation uh if you go to the next link i wrote

00:42:23.600 an article about about this um can you go to the my my there you go i called it uh kamala's fever dream

00:42:33.340 um where's what where's the mouse yeah i don't know why the mouse is working okay so um i'll just

00:42:40.200 paraphrase if you scroll down a bit a bit more a bit more a tiny bit more um there you go um so i talk

00:42:51.320 about how crazy really about misinformation um to liken january 6th to pearl harbor or 9-11

00:43:02.900 uh where obviously uh truly truly terrible disgusting levels of violence happened literally

00:43:12.660 thousands of people died yeah to equate january 6th with pearl harbor where um

00:43:19.600 some sailors like their their flesh is sloughing off their bones like when people are burnt like

00:43:26.160 that they go sort of all wet and they're still walking around and uh just the horror the true

00:43:31.880 horror of what played out at pearl on the 7th december 7th 41 or 9-11 2001 in the 9-11 videos where

00:43:39.020 people are like trapped on the edge of the building and actually they have to essentially just jump

00:43:42.740 yeah it's just like jesus christ like three or thousand people pulverized pulverized and you

00:43:49.680 equate that with what happened on jan 6th i mean that's sort of truly disgusting i say in that article

00:43:55.820 that there's loads and loads of examples of the biden administration just lying or uh or tweaking the

00:44:03.040 truth however you want to put it but that one that one stuck in my memory that one sticks with me

00:44:08.120 because it's so egregious because uh not only is it just a liar but it's stomping on spitting in

00:44:15.960 the face of your own war dead um your own victims of terrorism and you would only do that if you

00:44:23.800 cared nothing for their memory you would only dream of doing such a thing if you were detached from

00:44:30.380 history and you assume your audience as well know nothing about history or what really went down

00:44:35.740 it's just not their problem that's the thing they just don't they don't they clearly don't care

00:44:40.180 about the fact that these events happened and i i really think that they essentially have got to

00:44:45.900 the point they stigmatize american history so much that they kind of feel detached from those events

00:44:51.860 they don't feel that they are fellow americans and that is the classic socialist commie leftist thing

00:44:58.800 is to deliberately detach the present from the past yes um so that whatever you say is completely

00:45:08.040 adrift in its own bubble um that is a very very deliberate thing what was the thing kamali say to

00:45:15.000 be unburdened by what has been yeah stuff no very literally deliberately don't be burdened by what

00:45:20.060 actually happened at pearl harbor in 1941 don't actually remember what truly happened on 9-11 and the horror of

00:45:26.320 it uh because i'm going to make this crazy connection um and that's that's evil to me

00:45:33.120 well it's it's sickening it's disinheriting people of their history that's what it's doing is literally

00:45:40.100 to say the thing because we we always stand at the the top of a pyramid of events of history that

00:45:47.220 are cumulative that put us in the place that we're in at the moment and say well actually none of that

00:45:52.500 really matters and what the only thing that matters is here and now no that's that's not true it's just

00:45:59.280 wrong well the present is a product of the past you can only truly begin to understand the present

00:46:04.660 by having an appreciation of the past and so they want you to not really understand the present because

00:46:09.500 they're trying to bamboozle you and a big part of that one leg of that stall is to make sure you

00:46:14.300 don't understand or you're not uh familiar with the past yeah and but the the attempt to kind of

00:46:20.700 gin up jan 6th as being something as equivalent to pearl harbor or 9-11 is i mean in retrospect it's

00:46:29.520 kind of that it's not just morally abhorrent which it is but it's also kind of embarrassing right

00:46:35.140 oh yeah yeah intellectually yeah embarrassment morally and and yeah and intellectually it's just

00:46:41.280 like we we really we need this for our political agenda to go forward to be cemented in your mind

00:46:49.120 as those things are it's like okay but i didn't need persuading about pearl harbor and 9-11 and you're

00:46:56.120 desperately trying to persuade me about jan 6th so that instantly shows they're not the same and that

00:47:02.220 this is something that you're doing for political gain and not because it's the morally correct

00:47:06.780 thing to do so it comes back to that point i was making about it depends which narrative you believe

00:47:12.220 about the events of jan 6 was it a pearl harbor type assault on on the very heart and soul of the united

00:47:20.060 states or was it uh sort of a poorly a poorly executed mass trespass event or what was it um and so

00:47:32.140 depending on how you look at it is how you would then view trump's blanket pardons of 1500 odd

00:47:39.060 people um is it sort of uh you know a terrible mistake as um lindsey graham said it's a terrible

00:47:47.420 mistake to have done this sure um and other dems coming out and even the odd republicans saying

00:47:53.140 this is this isn't good this isn't a good thing which is a third point to make i mean it's you know

00:47:58.040 you could call it a mistake i hate to sound with lindsey graham but like you say it's a mistake

00:48:01.800 and it shouldn't be done yeah sure but proportionally does that mean two years in prison or three years

00:48:07.180 in prison with no trial no that's a disproportionate response based on the hysterical narrative put forward

00:48:13.960 by people who are trying to persuade you that this is far worse than it actually is and so what's

00:48:18.800 been done to them is not proportionate to the crimes they've committed no absolutely and as i said

00:48:24.240 before it's very very difficult or impossible in my mind to describe most of these people as

00:48:30.260 just simply political prisoners yeah um that that's all that's all it really is or making an example of

00:48:36.440 them all sorts of things in other words not a fair uh that justice hasn't been dealt out fairly

00:48:44.340 um so they talk about kamara there in that clip remember talked about sort of the constitution

00:48:50.720 yeah and things um you know it's very similar to gaslighting the starmer's arresting of the

00:48:58.280 southport rioters and people posting on social media afterwards um yeah there are people who did

00:49:04.380 things they shouldn't have done but nobody died you know there's some property damage and yet

00:49:10.540 keir starmer took this as an assault on the moral order of the state itself it's like it's not that

00:49:16.140 bad especially not the social media posts and the other sort of thing to mention is that biden in his

00:49:22.660 last few days or last few hours uh gave pardons to lots and lots of the actual police people that were

00:49:30.920 there yes um as well as people that were on the committees that looked into it um gave them pardons

00:49:37.500 ahead of time because they haven't been they're not on trial they haven't been convicted of anything

00:49:41.600 yet so he's giving them pardons ahead of time which is suggesting you know it speaks volumes why would

00:49:46.300 the people on the committee need a pardon right why would they if they haven't done anything wrong

00:49:51.720 their narrative was correct even remotely why would you feel the need to do that yeah why would that

00:49:57.440 even enter your mind it's a very strange thing that reveals everything about it um like that guy

00:50:03.160 michael bird yeah he's been pardoned of course oh i don't know if he has actually but he certainly

00:50:08.400 hasn't been put on trial for manslaughter or murder or anything like that in fact uh some of the

00:50:13.740 mainstream media news nbc giving him a puff piece if anything um no no it's exactly as it was

00:50:21.080 so okay that's the thing the jan 6th most of them nearly all of them i think with a small number of

00:50:28.100 exceptions they've either had their sentences commuted or or just full pardon i think nearly

00:50:33.520 all of them have got full pardons and a small number of them are having their sentences either

00:50:37.520 commuted or at the very least very small number half a dozen or same trump is they're just going to

00:50:42.800 look at their cases again in detail um so i think most people unless you're a democrat party

00:50:50.840 ultra yeah or a part a full partisan uh i would have thought most people and and the rest of the

00:50:58.540 chattering classes around the world including people like us like it's just going to say that

00:51:02.680 that's that's closer to justice or fairness than just holding them effectively on remand

00:51:08.520 indefinitely i mean yeah by far it doesn't even need to be discussed does it right but anyway let's uh

00:51:16.240 let's go for some super chats on that um so you're on says the deal with the january 6th is that if

00:51:21.800 you examine the evidence nancy police and the dems and the fbi were aiming to create a new age

00:51:25.760 reichstag fire that would prevent maga from poking its head up over again yeah there there's

00:51:30.560 definitely uh unanswered questions surrounding that why were the national guard not brought in

00:51:34.900 why were the police standing down why were they opening gates etc etc etc but um why would there

00:51:41.020 uh i think i think it's documented that there were fbi agent provocateurs in the in the crowd

00:51:46.560 well why why is um what's the guy who's yelling we have to go to the capitol ray epps right why why

00:51:52.420 why was he not arrested like sorry is he not one of the prime instigators yeah well he and he was

00:51:58.200 given a puff piece by like cnn afterwards because he was the target of maga conspiracies it's like well

00:52:03.280 answer the questions then and it's very interesting someone mentioned there the rush

00:52:07.500 i wrote another article uh saying exactly that this is what it looks the rush the rush

00:52:13.860 tag fire is that this this is a criminal element and crimes going on and that we have to crack

00:52:20.200 down or give ourselves some sort of enabling act or any some sort of raft of laws in order to defeat

00:52:26.480 this menace um when in fact something entirely different and nefarious is really is really going

00:52:33.080 on very much so um binary surfer says harris's lies and misinformation it's always projection

00:52:39.740 remember yes that is correct it is always projection uh see footage from don the pleb got arrested charged

00:52:45.260 months later his footage shows him walking calmly around and chatting to friendly cops uh yeah that's

00:52:50.480 another thing as well why were they why were they literally i mean when ashley babbitt was shot

00:52:53.520 they were literally being escorted around by the police so it's just like you know come on you know

00:52:59.400 they were smashing on a door yeah there's some sort of door into i can't remember there were police

00:53:03.560 literally just behind them in the stairwell so it's like what are you doing like why aren't you

00:53:07.540 pretending for running that but anyway so no one was in immediate danger when he fired yeah when

00:53:13.020 lieutenant bird fired uh just out of interest would we would you have done the pleb on you spoke to

00:53:18.200 before or not yeah i like the guy um can we scroll down on those please um harry um the problem uh sorry

00:53:26.640 those buildings belong to we the people that said in order to be trespassed you have to be trespassed

00:53:32.160 uh first a warning it was a trap uh yeah i think it was trap and i hate the deification of the

00:53:39.540 capitol building and the american democracy it's literally not instantiated by god it's literally

00:53:44.860 created by the people apparently for the people um through literally the apparent association

00:53:51.340 through consent so at the end of the day americans should be able to walk in there whenever they want

00:53:58.420 um but of course not according to the democrats who want a kind of divine state and uh the crank takes

00:54:04.440 and says the problem with the rioters uh is the problem is that the rioters on the left don't need

00:54:08.620 pardons because they don't get arrested in the first place and if they do they get money

00:54:11.900 an apology so not for the right uh yeah that's completely true but uh anyway in the interest of time

00:54:17.520 let's move on so more good news trump is killing off dei which is diversity equity and inclusion

00:54:25.900 and he's been coming for this pretty stridently as you can see the bbc complaining that donald trump

00:54:32.060 makes quote two sexes official and scraps a bunch of dei policies and so he revoked a biden

00:54:39.180 executive order which was aimed at preventing discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation

00:54:46.680 it's like okay well you know you good get rid of it uh trump also signed the executive order

00:54:52.060 recognizing two sexes only male and female and declaring that they cannot be changed

00:54:56.980 perfectly reasonable isn't it embarrassing for all of western civilization that this

00:55:03.380 that this we don't want to dunk on the united states solely or i don't want to particularly as

00:55:10.380 they're sorting their their shit out better than we are literally met with a giant man in a dress

00:55:15.880 for burns night he lit and it's just so yes and the americans are way ahead of us on this did you

00:55:20.540 see him squirm when he was asked to define what a woman was all that sort of stuff so he also said

00:55:24.580 that 99.99 of women don't have penises which implies that 0.01 of women do have penises which they don't care

00:55:32.260 there is a tiny tiny number of people that have got a true intersex condition right actual

00:55:39.980 hermaphrodite um so those people that that does exist that is a thing in the world but it's such

00:55:45.640 a tiny tiny number of people that the fact that it has to go all the way to the oval office all the

00:55:51.760 way to number 10 and um the important thing about that is madness madness the important thing about

00:55:57.780 that is that those people didn't choose their condition right right so they're not even exactly

00:56:03.080 what so people don't get to choose their gender uh this these things are things that nature puts

00:56:09.160 upon you before you're even born so so nonsense it's a classic thing you when you look back through

00:56:14.040 history i think of the late byzantine period for example but there's lots of in the the late

00:56:18.840 ptolemaic period in egypt or perhaps even there might be something in younger people when you're

00:56:24.640 confused or whatever of uh androgyny you know there's been many many uh fashions throughout history

00:56:30.680 uh that lean towards androgyny okay that's nothing new but to actually for a man the real problem

00:56:38.240 isn't it it's men just claiming that they're a woman now and uh and that you're not allowed to

00:56:44.780 question it or that i mean it's a nonsense it is is ripping apart the nature of the very fabric of our

00:56:52.940 society also you're you're giving away for people who are prepared to do it to take advantage of a

00:56:59.540 system that allow them access to spaces to which they ought not to have access so male rapists

00:57:04.640 being put in female prisons for example what a surprise they continue to rape women in prison

00:57:08.240 actually you shouldn't be allowing men to rape women in prison so this shouldn't be something

00:57:12.580 they can do so that's the ultimate problem isn't it it's not that just a guy wants to wear drag

00:57:17.320 and insists on being called a woman okay no one can stop you from doing right yeah yeah or a woman

00:57:23.720 that just feels like she's very very masculine dresses as a bloke and has a short haircut and wants to be

00:57:29.280 known as dave or whatever okay okay that's what whatever but it's when uh men get access to

00:57:38.160 female only spaces and put them in danger yes like so that's that genuinely is a really terrible terrible

00:57:44.780 thing yeah and i mean it did tank nicholas sturgeon of this but uh anyway so so the next thing that trump

00:57:51.680 did was to end dei inside the federal government by cutting funding to all dei programs across all the

00:57:57.000 agencies and a review of all the offices that have been renamed because of dei initiatives which is

00:58:02.620 something they think they're going to try and do to be clever and get around it uh and this means

00:58:08.460 essentially avoiding a bunch of civil rights nonsense so uh uh they there was what's interesting right

00:58:15.720 now i didn't know this until this was came to the fore but the civil rights act only applied to civil

00:58:21.560 society in the united states it didn't it's the lbj 1960s stuff yes it didn't apply to the federal

00:58:28.160 government and so actually um lbj had to for some reason uh write an executive order to make sure that

00:58:36.320 this was something that was done that was done in 1965 uh which was still the law today because of

00:58:41.580 course no one had just bothered to revoke it and uh trump decided that you know what he was going to

00:58:45.500 revoke that too um so now the u.s government actually can discriminate in ways that are

00:58:52.920 prohibited by the civil rights act interesting um but it is interesting how they had a carve out for

00:58:58.360 themselves right like yeah no you will all have the civil rights act apply to you doesn't apply to the

00:59:04.440 government for some reason it's weird it's very very interesting and good in my opinion anyway uh that

00:59:10.880 trump is revisiting stuff as far back as the 60s well in his inauguration speech he mentioned the

00:59:16.900 alien and seditions act which 1799 yeah yeah the very very end of um the 18th century it was a uh

00:59:24.380 john adams the first john adams uh legislation that he's going back that far if needs be yeah um in order

00:59:31.460 to sort things out yeah uh that's great yeah it's superb um so uh anyway yeah so trump uh clearly is

00:59:38.940 intending on just tearing this stuff up by the roots and like you say he's going back as far as

00:59:43.340 he needs to uh to make sure that this is uh essentially a colorblind merit-based hiring system

00:59:49.320 which fair enough this is what has been stigmatized by the left as white supremacy which i have no

00:59:55.700 comment on but i don't agree i think it's actually a sort of neutral thing but anyway moving on uh pete

01:00:02.360 hegs hegseth uh was you know the guy with the uh deus vault tattoos yeah he was confirmed by one vote

01:00:10.140 uh senate to uh to be the uh secretary of defense so he's on it and as you can see no more dei at the

01:00:18.840 department of defense the pentagon will comply immediately no exceptions no name changes or delays

01:00:24.380 and uh so this has been uh the sort of the falling of the dominoes through the institutions right so

01:00:31.960 again the fish rots from the head and so boom begins at the top knocks down clunk clunk clunk

01:00:37.740 clunk clunk clunk and so you end up with dei propaganda if we can just play that with no sound

01:00:42.820 being shredded uh in the tsa this from a tsa agent the libs of tiktok got this video from a tsa

01:00:49.780 agent agent at colorado as i know they were instructed to remove all di signage from their

01:00:54.640 operation areas following trump's executive order brilliant beautiful you'd love to see it you

01:01:00.420 absolutely love to see it i do hope that um you know if trump and other countries in europe are able

01:01:08.080 to untangle and reverse themselves from all this nonsense i very i do hope that in decades if not

01:01:15.920 centuries to come it will be a tiny tiny blip that there was a small period at the beginning of the

01:01:21.580 21st century when western civilization went down a terrible cul-de-sac lost its mind on some level or

01:01:27.440 their elites did the normal people never bought it but their elites tried to do something insane

01:01:32.660 briefly in the early 21st century i hope that's all it is i you know what you know how we go back

01:01:41.060 like 100 years and we go wow they actually had like mobile lobotomy mobiles drive around cities

01:01:48.320 and just lobotomize people how mad is that how mad were those people and in that sort of list of mad

01:01:55.260 things we used to do they're going to bring up a picture of the biden administration with the

01:01:59.060 transgenders on the white house lawn doing this yeah right exactly like you know the transgender guy

01:02:05.580 who stole the luggage yeah admiral rachel levine right right they're going to bring up that and go look

01:02:10.960 this this is a man wearing a dress people won't believe almost won't believe the image it's like

01:02:14.860 wow that happened it's like what really it's like yeah when in like the 12th century the papacy was

01:02:19.780 ruled by a pornocracy or whatever 13th century it's like people like what prostitutes ruled the vatican

01:02:25.160 it's like yeah somehow you know things have been weird seven year olds were sent to work in factories

01:02:29.780 till they dropped dead of exhaustion yeah whatever it's like wow that was crazy yeah that's that was a real

01:02:34.720 thing and and the biden administration will that i think genuinely when historians write the period

01:02:40.860 that we're living through they won't really want to talk about biden because he doesn't really do

01:02:44.840 anything interesting he will be a kind of sideshow character in the trump story where trump you know

01:02:49.980 sorts all the stuff out and it's like yeah and so you know under biden you had three transgender

01:02:54.840 officials and various other things and uh these things bonkers like the biden interregnum yeah well

01:03:02.140 yeah yeah and and it will be kind of a there'll be youtube videos done of you will not believe just how

01:03:07.880 crazy the biden administration was so like you know my children's children will be like you know

01:03:12.740 50 years ago this and they'll be like what it was an anomaly yeah hopefully but it'll be it'll look

01:03:19.060 like a clown show you know and hopefully if we're lucky but and it looks like we're on the good

01:03:23.880 timeline so who knows but anyway so people are trying to people in the institutions trying to get

01:03:28.220 around this they can see right oh well we've got to rename the dei group so no no no stand on your

01:03:33.560 stand on your uh principles here you wanted diversity equity and inclusion don't don't don't

01:03:39.020 back down now oh it's it's the accessibility group bro it's like no no you liars that's a classic

01:03:45.960 leftoid thing isn't it we'll just rename the thing yeah yeah it's completely it's just it's just the

01:03:51.460 equal opportunity employment and accessibility group okay everything named equal opportunity

01:03:55.640 employment and accessibility group that's also gone you know like trump i think is and you can see with

01:04:00.780 uh hegseth i can't pronounce these names uh they they know that you're doing this right they are

01:04:08.300 telling you they know so you know and you're still trying to do it right they know the gig's up

01:04:13.460 the gig is completely up like you have a wide awake administration in the trump administration to

01:04:19.100 this stuff they know what woke is they know the slimy games you're going to try and play they know

01:04:23.900 what your agenda is and they're just going to grab it and pull up by the roots the air force doing

01:04:28.140 the same thing oh we're renaming it to uh to something else the cultural office or something

01:04:33.080 it's like no no no no no no we know what you're doing it's going to go i'm sure the trump guys are

01:04:39.160 completely on this i don't think i'm being blind to it good on people by the way for making it very

01:04:44.620 visible on twitter you know make sure you tag uh the people who are in charge of the various

01:04:49.380 institutions and agencies so they can be like all right that's the name of it brilliant we'll get

01:04:53.580 rid of those guys and so this is all being done on the federal level so it's like you know where

01:04:59.440 federal direct power is is applied but it's also happening in universities because universities of

01:05:07.000 course get a lot of federal funding and you can tell the people oh wait we're where this nonsense

01:05:11.080 comes from you know we love this nonsense are we going to get defunded and it's like well rowan

01:05:15.960 university in new jersey clearly thinks so because they changed their di office uh to uh well they just

01:05:21.960 scrubbed it entirely and just pretended it doesn't exist same with colorado and there have been a

01:05:25.940 bunch of other universities i'm only just pulled up these ones but they've renamed it to the office

01:05:30.020 of collaboration so yeah make sure that you categorize make sure you record these things and

01:05:35.000 send them put them on the internet make sure that people can see them so the trump administration

01:05:39.460 be like ah that's it great get it gone that's not a loaded word collaborator collaboration like

01:05:44.440 that's not really yeah yeah we see you yeah we know what you're about this the universities are

01:05:50.160 quite often or in all sorts of ways the wellspring of this sort of it's completely marxist neo-marxist

01:05:55.400 nonsense there's all sorts of different words can be used right but we we see it yes right yeah and

01:06:00.640 the end result was that you tried to ruin the fabric of our society you tried to make kids want to be

01:06:06.620 mutilated and stuff terrible terrible crimes we see you yeah it's generational crimes that you're

01:06:15.300 committing it that's the thing like you are you are doing things that are going to be difficult to undo

01:06:20.400 for people's entire lives yeah people are people have been deprived families number of lives that have

01:06:26.240 been ruined even in this small hopefully historical blip yeah still loads and loads and loads of lives

01:06:31.440 ruined yeah it's really terrible but um but anyway so this is the the what the government itself

01:06:37.660 has access to so the question is can it happen to the private sector which is what the guardian asks so

01:06:42.280 they say well you know will this affect private companies it's like no but apparently trump has

01:06:47.380 asked the attorney general uh to look into ways it can get the private sector to do this as well

01:06:51.880 so it's like trump's like no i'm not stopping with just what i'm particularly no we're going to try and

01:06:55.940 get everything and they point out that trump's strong anti-dei stance has led to what advocates

01:07:01.040 consider a chilling effect so companies have started to preemptively drop these policies and like

01:07:06.080 if we want to get contracts with the government or something like this we've got to get rid of this stuff

01:07:10.100 you know i mean it was never good for business anyway but when you had a democrat in position

01:07:15.260 of power who's going to sort of throw large s at you for it you know give you favorable contracts and

01:07:21.180 stuff like that it was worth having we had lots of activists on social media and the social media

01:07:25.160 platforms were controlled by people who are aligned with the left-wing establishment oh it's all very

01:07:29.400 good to do now it's a right-wing establishment and they're like you know what i think we might back

01:07:32.820 off this forbes has got a great list here um and it's extensive and this has been happening

01:07:38.580 since the end of last year when it after trump won obviously uh john deere the farming manufacturing

01:07:44.880 equipment uh company have dropped it harley davison have dropped it jack daniels manufacturers have

01:07:50.780 dropped it ford have dropped it home improvement chain lowe's has dropped it cause the beer after i

01:07:56.880 guess watching what happened to bud light yeah they've dropped it and they did in 2023 they did a

01:08:01.340 feminist themed ad in the same sort of bud light vein and then those did yeah okay i didn't even

01:08:07.800 see it but uh but they've dropped it and this and this is like just completely rooting out the di stuff

01:08:15.460 we're like yeah we're not doing that we're not doing pride marches we're not doing lgbt flags we're not

01:08:19.900 doing any of it anymore walmart has abandoned it again these are massive businesses massive massive

01:08:26.680 businesses mcdonald's has announced that it would abandon specific diversity targets cease participation

01:08:31.460 in external surveys about demographics and rename its diversity team to the global inclusion team

01:08:36.500 like so even mcdonald's was like yeah and then they so back in like uh 2017 or something mcdonald's

01:08:43.200 like i can't remember where it was but there's this one still of the mcdonald's ceo giving a speech to

01:08:49.580 some to some a room full of you know people and on the on the wall behind him on the on the sort of

01:08:55.500 tele screen behind him is a modern progressive burger company it's like yeah you wanted it

01:09:01.380 funny that it's things like bud light gillette jaguar whatever it is um it's surprising to me

01:09:10.000 anyway the i don't know how to say exactly this isn't uh some people might pull me up on not really

01:09:16.020 describing it properly but sort of the hierarchical nature well you can as you say change the head out

01:09:21.360 yeah um literally the one guy that sits in the oval office his worldview or his policies change and

01:09:29.040 like dominoes down the pyramid down the side of pyramids it's about the incentives it's about being

01:09:33.120 aligned with the ruling ideology of the power structure how powerful that is yes we still live

01:09:39.200 in such a structured society that biden gets swapped out for trump and the bald at cause just

01:09:46.200 suddenly their whole worldview is changed apparently i mean it's it's it's it's interesting oh yeah it's

01:09:53.160 fascinating and it's it's it's the way that the world works and that's why i mean there are going

01:10:00.440 to be loads of people at these companies who didn't want this stuff in the first place but were like oh

01:10:06.160 right the biden administration is very much on this so we're just gonna have to genuflect just to make

01:10:11.960 sure that we stay in their good graces because we don't want investigations or civil rights charges

01:10:16.040 or something like that and we want to get federal contracts and we just want we don't want any

01:10:19.700 trouble you know we don't want the media running you know causing public out backlash against us we

01:10:24.940 still want any trouble we just want to you know sell our product and so we'll just do it and if the

01:10:28.860 other if it's now okay the other way well then we'll just drop it you know and it's not that there

01:10:32.820 aren't like you know ben and jerry's aren't rolling back their dei policies or anything like that

01:10:37.580 because the guys who run ben and jerry's are total ideologues who are insanely woke but most of them

01:10:42.940 aren't actually woke most of them are just responding to incentives in and responding to the nature of

01:10:48.040 the ideology promoted by the executive and so they will just do what they want i mean like for example

01:10:52.400 meta you know facebook like mark zuckerberg has done his little round on the joe rogan show going

01:10:56.900 hey bros i'd actually like to be a bro i actually don't want to be a woke and it's like yeah well you

01:11:02.080 know and and he he his his interview with joe rogan was really interesting he was like yeah no the

01:11:06.480 by demonstration were on the phone shouting at me do this that and the other sense of this and

01:11:10.100 mark zuckerberg you know for all his faults he's not like someone who is a machiavellian genius he

01:11:16.720 was a tech bro who made something that got unreasonably popular right you all you know he didn't seem

01:11:22.880 like someone who was like right i'm gonna take over the world now you know it seems like kind of

01:11:25.860 accidental to him what i find odd or interesting rather is the what you're talking about there the

01:11:31.080 incentives uh yeah totally makes sense or well but not entirely though to my mind because take for

01:11:37.420 example uh bud light or gillette what they did um so the incentive is is that they're they're

01:11:45.240 mirroring or parroting the world view coming out of the white house that's the incentive but they

01:11:51.900 lost loads of money loads of money and loads of their market share and all sorts of things so

01:11:58.020 there were so in terms of money and market share there wasn't an incentive there's a negative

01:12:02.620 effect so it's difficult to they did it just so that biden and people in the white house were like

01:12:10.840 good boy no no no not just that there's a moral imperative in the ideology right so at the cost of

01:12:16.240 millions or billions of dollars yeah yeah and powerful stuff it is well this this is this is why um

01:12:21.740 people shouldn't underestimate the compulsive power of ideology because literally it will make and

01:12:27.640 there there are loads of examples of game companies and film film companies like disney

01:12:31.000 losing billions and billions of dollars like why well we we needed to put woke moral ideology into

01:12:37.180 the thing it's like yeah but you knew that was going to come with the cost it's like yeah but we did it

01:12:40.580 anyway because otherwise we can't sleep you know it's it's like you know you being like well look i'm

01:12:46.540 just really against slavery it's like okay but those you you know you you own a bunch of slaves it's like

01:12:51.240 like the american founders right they knew that you know ending slavery would be bad for them

01:12:54.860 personally but if you view this as just this intrinsic and intransigent moral abomination that

01:13:01.540 you have to live with that you can't have trans people in disney films or something then yeah okay

01:13:06.140 eventually you just get to the point where i've got to choose and i'm going to choose what i think

01:13:09.220 is right and you're right it's crazy how powerful it is the thing is often that doesn't ring true i mean

01:13:14.940 maybe disney's uh or ben and jerry's that is absolutely correct what you said it's not every case

01:13:19.820 i'm not saying if you take someone like uh bud light or gillette where um they fall in line with

01:13:27.600 the new regime straight away so they weren't actually uh well guiding the ideologues at any

01:13:33.420 point actually the thing the thing we want to remember is there you know there are various

01:13:36.840 different levels and a lot of the advertising people are insane woke ideologues and they are

01:13:45.400 they use essentially white guilt against the the ceos and so if you've got a bunch of you know

01:13:52.020 millennial um non-white progressive people uh they'll make up things they'll be like oh well

01:13:59.460 actually look at um you know they'll think of a viral campaign that was predicated on identity

01:14:03.780 politics but yes this can work and stuff like this and a lot of the time it's basically kind of

01:14:09.520 browbeating from the people around them and a lack of moral fiber and common sense it was like

01:14:15.180 what happened at jaguar yeah that the very very top guys at jaguar were browbeaten yeah or guilted

01:14:21.140 into doing i think the tech bros at silicon valley are the same but i don't think jack dorsey

01:14:26.200 himself was woke but i think he's surrounded by a bunch of woke people i think he was just kind of

01:14:30.180 weak same with mark zuckerberg i think he was weak um which is no excuse obviously but um but they

01:14:36.200 themselves i don't think we're in favor of it but anyway so target as well amazon there are loads

01:14:41.340 loads i mean this is an extinction event the dei right which is which is great there are there are

01:14:48.240 of course like you know the japanese who are fighting world war ii 50 years after it ended

01:14:52.600 there are going to be some holdouts for example costco in a nearly unanimous decision costco's

01:14:57.900 shareholders voted in support of costco's current diversity equity and inclusion initiatives

01:15:02.140 after the national center for public policy research submitted a proxy proposal to audit the

01:15:06.820 company's litigation reputation and financial risks so uh they have decided nope we are going to hold

01:15:12.000 the line we are going to be woke north korea in the american retail uh business and uh that's fine

01:15:18.920 we'll see how that works out won't we um siron says the deal with january the sixth you examine the

01:15:25.120 evidence nancy plosin the dems the fbi or attempt oh i think i've read that already um sorry can we

01:15:30.400 scroll up on those just uh the very top please um kaleb says uh to copy arch where do we place

01:15:38.020 the line of forgiveness for going along with the ideology for government gibbs uh when does the stick

01:15:43.520 end and the carrot return uh to be honest with you i'm fairly relaxed about this the activists

01:15:51.740 themselves will make themselves known by their refusal to capitulate right in fact you've got

01:15:59.020 someone like um sorry can we go back to the i don't know why my mouse um we go back to the click

01:16:07.480 on that place so i've got focus on the thing okay so you got al shalton who went to costco who uh was

01:16:14.960 like you know whoa we'll stand with costco we will always stay with costco it's like okay he's never

01:16:21.280 going to be changed right uh and i'm not saying the the shareholders of costco are going to be changed

01:16:26.880 either but there are a bunch of people who aren't right so when jeff bezels like you know i hate di

01:16:31.140 actually and i don't want this yeah i'm prepared to forgive that you know do we need to do we need

01:16:36.420 to pillory mark zuckerberg or would be better to say yeah okay mark but now you have to do x now you

01:16:42.520 have to do y now you have to make sure we get based facebook just like elon has given us base twitter

01:16:47.740 you know do we do we want that or do we want to spend all our time sort of you know extracting

01:16:52.840 confessions out of them like an inquisitor and i'm actually not very interested in being

01:16:56.700 inquisitorial about it i just get rid of the activists you know these these people can all

01:17:00.900 go and uh they'll fall into obscurity because they'll have no access to anything and we won't

01:17:06.460 need to worry about cut the cancer out no need to actually kill the whole victory exactly yeah

01:17:11.140 start again exactly they need to throw the baby out with the bathwater and i i i think there's going

01:17:16.160 to be sort of a stigma that surrounds these people anyway like you imagine being like you know the head

01:17:22.220 of a woke company you're then invited to like the world economic forum when it's surrounded by base

01:17:26.940 companies all the time people are like oh yeah you know i i think they'll they'll end up carrying it

01:17:31.920 with them anyway we'll uh we'll leave there let's go to the video comments actually no video comments

01:17:38.620 that's good not today that's good because we're running out of time uh someone online says it's so

01:17:44.580 nice to have power wielded in a way that doesn't involve us bombing everyone uh yeah and i'm personally

01:17:49.520 in favor of power being i mean hey that's a great point that trump has been deft with his use of

01:17:55.800 power here he hasn't threatened anyone you know no one can be like he's starting to hurt someone no

01:18:00.240 no he's threatening to just leverage not soft power but economic power which is sensible and he's doing

01:18:09.040 it in the interests of the american people it's the classic thing in any negotiation when you know

01:18:15.200 the power of your position and you know the power or weakness of your opponent's position

01:18:20.180 uh like like playing cards well there's many different examples any game um but actually

01:18:26.860 playing your hand right up to the line um of what you can do you know short of in trump's case

01:18:34.160 uh without putting the military option on the table because you know you could have said to the

01:18:40.300 colombian dude if you don't do exactly what you we want with the b-52s are coming in the marines

01:18:45.500 will be landing on your beaches didn't need to go there doesn't want to go there's no that's not

01:18:50.240 good so um uh so yeah but then actually looking at the array of options that you have got

01:18:57.140 and using them um nothing's stopping you right nothing's stopping you can completely do this

01:19:04.140 and rather than and again the there's the kind of lefty bureaucrat mentality is well we will just ask

01:19:13.260 them politely and if they say no we'll just suck it up it's like no we'll tell them and if they say

01:19:18.860 no we'll start acting yeah you know screw this weakness uh man of kent says i don't just honestly

01:19:25.220 just go show the mentality of the left that they only worry about their own uh lives being inconvenienced

01:19:29.800 and fighting for the quote-unquote rights of criminals rather than the lives and well-being of those who

01:19:33.500 aren't meant who they are meant to represent and rule over yeah and this is entirely the problem

01:19:37.380 with leftism is it's genuinely a way of punishing the law-abiding person like sorry no you just have

01:19:44.340 to live with this increased likelihood that someone who has got no right to be in this country murders

01:19:49.180 you or your children it's like no i don't why the hell would i have to do that well because otherwise

01:19:53.700 my coffee costs more that's a shame that's a real shame what about my flowers on valentine well i don't

01:19:59.020 know you go pick some daisies all right yeah you know like i've got no sympathy whatsoever i don't

01:20:05.380 see why i should i mean what an unbelievably disgusting thing i mean there's one thing to

01:20:10.280 be sort of a wishy-washy lefty 1970s labor type lefty person there's okay there's that so it's just

01:20:17.700 left of center but then when you've got real real socialists or real actual true communists

01:20:25.540 marxists i think the end game is to destroy capitalism yes and to destroy undermine to the

01:20:31.820 point of destruction of all of western civilization yeah the very nature of property property ownership

01:20:37.660 right yeah and the the and the the way that politics is conducted in the democratic west

01:20:46.120 needs to be undermined and ultimately annihilated and eradicated yes um you know that that let's be

01:20:54.300 clear that's what a lot of these people do aim at and they pretend it's just about equity and they

01:20:59.940 pretend it's just about um the human rights of some mass murderer or mass rapist but no that's not

01:21:05.860 true it's not a pretense right they they are they are correct they they are they are sincere it's just

01:21:12.560 that the human rights of murderers is the weapon and lever by which they overthrow that's what i'm

01:21:17.880 saying classes it's not a pretense you know they they view those people as is a vital to the power

01:21:23.600 see you know they're completely and this is why kia starmer again what did he do he went around for

01:21:28.420 free trying to get convicted murderers off the death penalty it's like i wouldn't why would you waste

01:21:34.380 any amount of time on that unless you're of course an ideological socialist who wanted to overthrow the

01:21:38.780 way things are done and so these people are important to the socialists though they do extend

01:21:43.620 moral consideration to them it's the it's the the heat map isn't it you know the the i love the out

01:21:48.580 group or i love the in group it's literally that baron von morhaug makes a great point here by the way

01:21:53.380 he says this columbian columbian socialist leader calls trump a fascist a slave a genocidal maniac

01:21:59.680 but no point does he state that those being deported are not criminals and murderers

01:22:03.500 that's a great point he howls in rage at the thought of having them back in his nation

01:22:08.940 he sees these criminals as a weapon to attack america and is raging at the thought of having

01:22:13.020 them back precisely precisely yeah not trying to question him on the individual cases the individual

01:22:19.440 people yeah yeah no accepts that they're terrible criminals and the haitian leader is like oh this is

01:22:25.800 gonna ruin us i'm like bro you live in haiti uh but also yeah maybe you should have thought about

01:22:30.580 that maybe you should i mean like the state of haiti is the haitians fault yeah you've been

01:22:35.440 independent from 200 years it's not anyone else's fault at this point you know and the dominican

01:22:39.680 republic next door is actually quite nice and they built a giant goddamn wall against you right it's

01:22:44.320 your own fault you until you start taking responsibility then nothing's going to change that really is a

01:22:49.920 mask off moment or an admission of complete guilt when the uh the haitian guy says it would be a

01:22:55.700 catastrophe for his country you can't send them back here it's like well that's why we have to

01:22:59.640 yeah oh well anyway yeah furious dan says trump take your criminals back or 25 tariff columbia

01:23:06.400 soy jack wall of text trump 75 now that's fake news it's 50 but i do love i i just love how intransigent

01:23:16.400 trump is being on this you're gonna do it um it's real leadership yeah it is so i'll take all the slings

01:23:23.600 and arrows yeah uh because what i'm doing is is actually correct so screech for the rest of

01:23:31.820 eternity it makes no odds yeah leadership yeah kevin thinks the uh columbian president's real

01:23:39.060 motivation for refusing to let the criminals back is because he knew they were breaking to the u.s

01:23:42.480 possibly help them on their way probably i mean i think trump was probably on something when you're

01:23:46.360 saying that uh south some south american nations were just emptying their prisons and sending them to

01:23:51.000 america why wouldn't you sorry the border's wide open biden is helping these people get into america

01:23:56.020 yeah why wouldn't you and so this catch and release scheme that's caught 10 000 convicted murderers

01:24:01.880 and just let them into the united states like well they must have been convicted at some point why

01:24:08.780 wouldn't the venezuelans or whatever release them from prison dump them on the border and say right off

01:24:13.460 you go i would like to say i'm a bit of i've got a little bit of a vindictive streak in me

01:24:17.240 oh yeah i've said before that the people that did that the individual people because it always boils

01:24:23.280 down to people sitting in a room making decisions about policy wherever it was at homeland or wherever

01:24:29.980 it is um those people should be held to account for their crimes like the catch and release thing yeah

01:24:37.020 everyone everyone that was responsible for that should answer for what they've done

01:24:40.920 yes um not just we'll change the policy now we're in a new age and we'll try and make sure that

01:24:47.000 doesn't happen again well and good great of course absolutely but no what about accountability

01:24:52.100 accountability for the people that did it this this is they're still here yeah well exactly but i mean

01:24:58.560 at least trump will fire these people right trump is at least going to fire the people in charge

01:25:03.020 so it's like okay that is some accountability it's not nearly as much as i think they should have but

01:25:06.580 that's something whereas if you look at the southport murders okay well who from prevent has been

01:25:10.260 fired yeah exactly i want some names yeah the police the social services you know the schools

01:25:15.360 some some people should be getting fired for this massive failure on the part of the institutions

01:25:20.920 right but no one's been fired no one's even talking about it i say go further firing isn't enough so

01:25:25.920 take for example the rotherham or watch out uh south yorkshire police oh yeah no the individual

01:25:32.420 people that allowed that to go on and continue no one's lost their job right all these convictions

01:25:38.060 and no one's lost their jobs what's going on how can this be permitted but again it's just

01:25:42.780 unfortunately we we need a an effective leader in charge which we don't have um george uh says i

01:25:51.180 want to be objective about trump but it's really hard not to fanboy with the amount of things he's done

01:25:54.420 so far when it comes to deportations made it obvious and my my timeline is between nothing but

01:25:58.700 deportations and it's all men uh it's been made obvious that it's the most powerful and prosperous

01:26:03.100 country in the world that holds most of the cards that move against pedro and his uh crime

01:26:07.080 family was amazing political judo yeah i know it's just so good it's just so good personally um i

01:26:13.060 i i i don't want a fanboy for trump too much i don't want to dunk on farage too much because it

01:26:21.360 just looks like it's all you care about all you think about i know but and it's not so hard

01:26:26.840 what what's nice and i swear this must be so great for the americans no wonder trump is finally in a

01:26:32.220 positive um approval rating but it must be so nice for americans like no i voted for these things to

01:26:37.240 happen and trump's like yeah it's has it been a week i don't know like you know it's like hit the

01:26:41.900 ground running and just full bore like you'd love to see i'm so jealous umar says and this is another

01:26:48.880 great point man uh pardoning someone is one thing pardoning your allies for crimes they haven't been

01:26:53.940 even been prosecuted for is insane so yeah exactly but they haven't been committed anything why would

01:26:59.240 you pardon why would you pardon them fauci yeah fauci yeah the jan 6th committee like he's like

01:27:04.140 what are you pardoning for you know just explain to me the nature of the pardon please um and so

01:27:11.520 yeah basically it's a declaration of wrongdoing but also rubbing your nose in it that you there's

01:27:16.320 nothing you can do about it at a bare minimum that specifically must be stopped yeah i mean you

01:27:20.520 could say look the presidential pardon can only be used for people you convicted of crimes

01:27:24.060 at bare minimum but someone pointed out he'd need an amendment to do so unlikely to get done

01:27:30.740 but um but i mean it's just an admission it's just an admission yeah yeah he committed a crime so

01:27:36.920 we've pardoned him i feel like it would be better and i'm speaking very broadly here it would be best

01:27:42.200 for the republic of the united states of america if they looked at the entire process of presidential

01:27:48.660 pardons for better or worse uh because because both sides it's all well and good when your side

01:27:56.400 is doing it uh but actually in the long run in the broad scheme of things it's not it's not good

01:28:04.060 yeah it's kind of obviously open to abuse yeah right and we're seeing it now i'm not saying that

01:28:10.240 trump is actually abusing i don't think he is i think trump's actually being very responsible he's

01:28:14.460 not pardoning people who haven't been convicted well actually no he's pardoning people being held

01:28:18.020 and remand but like people who haven't been accused or like you know like again there's no even no

01:28:24.020 accusation against the jancet committee you know like nothing's happened and suddenly biden's like

01:28:28.580 yeah so they're pardoned it's like what what what what oh what so anyway but you are right i think

01:28:33.760 it it's definitely something should be knocked off basically uh luke says upper management of these

01:28:38.420 companies are bombarded by reports that claim increasing diversity increase the amount of people who enjoy

01:28:42.940 your product and most diverse companies get massive cash injection from esg funds blackrock

01:28:47.240 for example it starts to look like it's real so yeah that's the thing like i think there's a lot

01:28:52.080 of mysticism that has surrounded this and so you've got the brow beating you've got like a bunch of false stats

01:28:57.680 you've got blackrock saying here's however much money you need in your pockets suddenly i think you

01:29:02.320 can persuade yourself into it even if you don't really believe it you know what i mean

01:29:05.580 so all i'm saying is blackrock is worth my business uh

01:29:09.240 i'm i'm i'm prepared to do the unpopular thing and take blackrock money for diversity

01:29:16.080 wendy says i'm loving what's happening in america i'm so envious

01:29:21.580 i'm uh more sure than ever that our day will come

01:29:25.480 uh more people are waking up and i can feel things changing

01:29:28.360 uh fingers crossed kirstarmer is not going to go lightly uh he's going to try and drag it out

01:29:33.320 for the entire four years left i don't think he's going to make it though i think at some point

01:29:37.780 things will get so untenable even though there's no like legal mechanism to remove him that everyone

01:29:44.220 would just say you've got to go you know you should just call an election you've screwed this up

01:29:48.420 so completely that even though legally we can't remove you no one's ever going to forgive you

01:29:53.400 you know the only way to the only way to retain the dignity of you your party going forward is to

01:29:59.880 call the election now and take the licks you know except that you can lose 100 200 seats whatever it

01:30:04.180 is just accept it i'm a little surprised i feel like uh starmer will will never leave until he's

01:30:11.700 like a chaocheski figure until he's i suspect so yeah um but what i'm a little surprised at and

01:30:17.580 disappointed at is um how vocal and how powerful the labor backbenchers have been in pushing back on

01:30:27.720 the senior front benches of labor i would have thought by now that they would have um that be

01:30:34.760 a thorn in starmer's side they don't seem to be starmer whipped his party so thoroughly when he took

01:30:40.840 over it yeah now that he's in charge they are evidently are just cowed even though i'm sure they

01:30:47.200 hate what's going on for the time being yeah the left of the labor part i thought the left of the

01:30:52.820 labor party would be pushing back harder and more vocally than they are so far maybe he despite the

01:30:58.760 early we kicked them out didn't he kicked out corbyn kicked out mcdonald you know kicked out like

01:31:04.300 there were something like a hundred thousand labor members so they lost the whip but they're still

01:31:07.680 they're still mps sure sure sure but like i imagine one day they're hoping we can get back

01:31:12.760 in the labor party probably can't go too hard on it but uh we're a bit over time so george says

01:31:17.800 government employees who attempt to rename dei should immediately be fired it shows their enemy

01:31:22.540 agents are not willing to comply with the will of the people totally agree if you renamed your
