Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for the 29th of January 2025.
00:00:04.240 Do excuse Josh, I said he looked like the man who ran the Prancing Pony in Fellowship of the Ring
00:00:08.680 and now he's determined to disprove me.
00:00:11.260 I'm sorry, but you do.
00:00:13.320 If you photoshopped Harry's old sideburns onto you, you would look like it.
00:00:16.140 Someone do that down in the comments.
00:00:17.380 Anyway, I'm your host Connor, I'm joined by Harry and Josh, one of our favourite lineups.
00:00:21.780 And we're going to bring you only the good news today,
00:00:23.300 which is the leaked Raikou report that shows that a Muslim network basically run the British government,
00:00:28.580 who Trump has fired, and how Zoomers, like me, don't like democracy because, and I quote,
00:00:33.080 it's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.
00:00:35.500 If you like prequel content, stay tuned for a future lads hour.
00:00:38.700 Anyway, because it's a Wednesday and at three o'clock I'll be doing my show,
00:00:43.240 again I'll be checking you through the cheery topics,
00:00:45.400 we're going to go through the Southport murders in its entirety
00:00:48.320 because there's some information that hasn't been compiled and people aren't asking the right questions.
00:00:52.120 Like, for example, why are Axel Rudi-Cabana's parents even in the country?
00:00:55.620 I've asked that question.
00:00:56.740 There's not really a good answer.
00:00:58.600 I've pointed out that the story that's been given to us seems to be contradictory and make no sense.
00:01:03.900 Like his family being apparently highly connected to the current Rwandan government
00:01:08.420 and the high-up officials in there.
00:01:11.020 So why is it they came here as asylum seekers in 2002?
00:01:15.180 From Uganda.
00:01:15.900 From Uganda.
00:01:17.480 Eight years after the genocide.
00:01:18.880 Yeah, really weird.
00:01:19.600 Safe country as well.
00:01:20.240 Strange that.
00:01:21.280 Anyway, we'll be going over a lot of that,
00:01:22.700 so if you are subscribed to LotusEaters.com, you can watch that live.
00:01:25.860 If you aren't yet, what are you doing?
00:01:27.320 We need your support.
00:01:28.180 Keep the lights on.
00:01:28.960 Let us £5 a month.
00:01:30.340 Appreciate it.
00:01:31.120 But also, I can't get onto the website,
00:01:33.960 so if you're experiencing problems...
00:01:35.920 Oh, I've just got on as I've said it.
00:01:37.420 Never mind.
00:01:38.100 I just need to say it live on air and it shames the website into compliance.
00:01:41.360 Performance issues in your old age, it happens.
00:01:42.940 Anyway...
00:01:43.520 I am 30 this year.
00:01:45.460 Fantastic.
00:01:46.060 Right, let's get into today's news then.
00:01:47.800 So there's been a leaked report from RICU,
00:01:51.280 the Home Office's Research Information and Communications Unit,
00:01:54.580 otherwise known as the Government's Propaganda Department,
00:01:56.920 that I've spoken about for a long time,
00:01:58.640 which has said that claims of two-tier policing
00:02:00.660 are a far-right conspiracy theory
00:02:03.180 and that grooming gangs are just a grievance narrative
00:02:05.680 that folks like us have invented.
00:02:07.960 Now, this should be old news,
00:02:08.960 because actually I've been reporting on this particular report
00:02:11.500 for quite some time.
00:02:13.560 This was Stephen Edgington's first leaks.
00:02:16.040 This was back in November, on the 15th of November,
00:02:19.380 and I then amplified it for my reporting,
00:02:21.240 both on this channel and on Courage Media.
00:02:23.120 Some of the other things that were included in this report
00:02:24.880 were calling anti-communist views far-right.
00:02:27.980 So that should tell you exactly who's running Britain's deep state,
00:02:30.780 and believe me, we have one and it's worse than America's.
00:02:33.320 Quote,
00:02:33.560 Discussing extreme right-wing views,
00:02:34.960 the Home Office cited cultural nationalism as an example,
00:02:37.600 defining the term as
00:02:38.560 the main belief being that Western culture
00:02:41.060 is under threat from mass migration.
00:02:42.920 The paper warned that right-wing extremist narratives,
00:02:44.720 particularly around immigration and policing,
00:02:46.280 are in some cases leaking into mainstream debates,
00:02:48.880 and they cited two-tier policing as that example.
00:02:52.220 Now, it's funny that that's apparently
00:02:53.500 a far-right conspiracy theory,
00:02:55.100 because how many times on this channel
00:02:56.660 have we gone over the fact that the Met Police
00:02:58.260 have expressly said,
00:02:59.420 be it the Macpherson Report
00:03:00.500 or their recent commitments to DEI
00:03:02.180 in the wake of George Floyd,
00:03:03.340 that we're going to police communities much lighter.
00:03:06.620 So, it's both a conspiracy theory
00:03:08.980 and its explicit government policy.
00:03:11.460 Well, they're also talking about it like it's some form of contagion,
00:03:14.600 as if, you know, there's this radioactive thing
00:03:17.580 and it's slowly seeping into the ordinary population.
00:03:20.400 Isn't it terrible?
00:03:21.620 Yeah.
00:03:22.120 It's almost like people pointing out the problem
00:03:24.000 and not the problem,
00:03:24.880 but the problem is, in fact, the problem.
00:03:26.740 But, nope, you've got to be censored
00:03:27.760 and called far-right for talking about it.
00:03:30.440 And, of course, Edgington points out here
00:03:32.040 that the memo was authored by Raikou,
00:03:34.180 based in the Home Office.
00:03:35.020 And Raikou, for those who don't know,
00:03:36.460 are the parent body of Prevent.
00:03:37.960 So, this should give you some insight
00:03:39.320 into why Prevent has been all but refusing
00:03:42.320 to monitor Islamist extremism.
00:03:44.780 And it might have something to do with the staff of Prevent,
00:03:47.000 which we'll get into shortly.
00:03:48.580 Now, Stephen Edgington got Labour to denounce this at the time.
00:03:52.180 So, they've since come out and denounced the leak again
00:03:54.620 of the original leak.
00:03:56.120 But, at the time, they ran screaming from this
00:03:57.920 because they realised,
00:03:58.760 even before the grooming gang's discourse went global
00:04:00.660 because Elon Musk noticed it on X,
00:04:02.620 that this was a terrible thing to say, you know,
00:04:04.860 the thousands of girls raped by imported Pakistani Muslims
00:04:07.480 criminals is just a grievance narrative
00:04:09.920 that we've made up.
00:04:11.160 But, as we always know,
00:04:13.060 this is just a de jure denouncement.
00:04:16.060 De facto.
00:04:16.660 They still believe it.
00:04:17.600 So, they're still going to do this exact same thing.
00:04:19.280 Because Yvette Cooper is pictured there.
00:04:20.860 She's the Home Secretary for those outside of the UK,
00:04:23.940 in the US.
00:04:24.940 She commissioned this report in the first place
00:04:26.480 in the wake of the Southport protests and riots
00:04:28.460 to say, how can we record more non-crime hate incidents?
00:04:31.400 So, these are the guidelines
00:04:32.740 by which she's instructed her own civil servants
00:04:34.760 to encourage the increased policing of thought crime
00:04:38.200 because some absolute nutcase
00:04:39.800 that the Home Office failed to stop
00:04:40.900 went and murdered three girls
00:04:42.360 and stabbed about eight others.
00:04:44.760 Great.
00:04:45.200 Love living in this country.
00:04:46.480 I've been covering this story quite a lot, actually,
00:04:48.080 over on lotusseaters.com,
00:04:49.100 behind the paywall.
00:04:49.780 So, this is that episode on Raikou.
00:04:51.240 So, if you want to know the background to that,
00:04:52.600 you can watch how the government gaslights you.
00:04:54.160 This is the one on the history of non-crime hate incidents,
00:04:56.900 and this is the one particularly
00:04:58.320 on the Islamic network of Muslim activists
00:05:00.560 in the Home Office,
00:05:01.300 and we'll be returning to those shortly.
00:05:02.840 That woman there is a woman called Dame Sara Khan.
00:05:05.040 She was the government's former
00:05:06.000 independent anti-extremism advisor.
00:05:08.500 So independent that her sister
00:05:10.000 was also running Raikou at the time.
00:05:11.880 And they were the ones bankrolling hope-not-hate
00:05:13.580 while they were inventing the Islamophobia definition,
00:05:16.260 which said that the grooming gangs,
00:05:18.140 discourse around the grooming gangs,
00:05:19.220 should be banned
00:05:19.920 because it's an anti-Muslim conspiracy theory.
00:05:22.440 Very interesting to appoint someone
00:05:25.180 who presumably with the surname Khan
00:05:26.960 has a Pakistani background
00:05:28.220 as someone able to define what extremism is,
00:05:33.180 because surely people know
00:05:34.760 that Pakistan's actually a hotbed
00:05:36.440 of Islamic extremism, right?
00:05:38.820 One would think.
00:05:39.860 So, the person who appointed her
00:05:41.340 was Michael Gove.
00:05:42.800 Of course.
00:05:43.480 So, having spoken to people
00:05:44.780 trying to be familiar with Gove's thinking at the time,
00:05:47.180 I think Gove thought that he was
00:05:48.540 the perfect puppet master
00:05:49.740 to sit between two communities
00:05:51.660 of marginalising Islamic extremism
00:05:53.960 while giving certain Muslims
00:05:55.800 who he thought could be seen as mainstream
00:05:57.560 greater positions of prominence
00:05:59.400 to try and contain the Islamist element.
00:06:01.160 What ended up happening is
00:06:02.100 they just packed the Home Office
00:06:03.860 full of Muslim staff members
00:06:05.040 who then corresponded with Islamist groups
00:06:07.020 and gave them a larger quarter
00:06:08.400 than if you'd just never spoken to them
00:06:09.720 in the first place.
00:06:10.720 Of course.
00:06:11.300 And if you had any common sense
00:06:12.760 or any observations
00:06:13.740 of how these sorts of things work,
00:06:15.200 you could have predicted that quite easily.
00:06:16.580 Yes, but, you know,
00:06:18.300 other people other than us
00:06:19.680 have larger in-group
00:06:20.700 ethnic and religious preference
00:06:21.800 and it seems that all of the
00:06:24.000 Western white liberal-leaning elites
00:06:25.700 have ignored that
00:06:26.600 and just sleptwalked us into dystopia.
00:06:29.360 So, I'm going to go through the details
00:06:30.700 of this policy exchange report
00:06:31.900 because it bears reading
00:06:33.520 in the PDF that Samson
00:06:34.880 has so gladly brought up.
00:06:36.380 So, this was the government's
00:06:37.360 rapid analytical sprint
00:06:38.860 to determine its policy
00:06:40.660 based on extremism.
00:06:42.580 It was leaked to policy exchange.
00:06:43.740 So, just right off the bat,
00:06:46.240 rapid analytical sprint,
00:06:48.020 that is such a juxtaposition of terms.
00:06:51.220 You can't be analytical
00:06:52.460 in a rapid or quick way.
00:06:55.320 You can if you've got
00:06:56.120 an ideological cookie cutter
00:06:57.260 that you're just impressing
00:06:58.400 on the world.
00:06:59.280 Like, you can quickly
00:06:59.780 stamp it out like that.
00:07:01.500 That's an immediate red flag
00:07:02.840 right off the bat.
00:07:03.540 Oh, there's many more.
00:07:04.820 Again, it was commissioned
00:07:05.500 by Home Secretary Yvette Cooper
00:07:06.840 who should be made to resign immediately
00:07:08.260 but she should have gone
00:07:08.880 ages ago anyway.
00:07:10.160 The longest of the documents
00:07:11.040 seen by policy exchanges
00:07:12.000 titled
00:07:12.340 Counter-Extremism Sprint
00:07:13.580 Understand.
00:07:16.000 Not really an honest inquiry
00:07:17.760 as we'll come to see
00:07:18.900 but there you go.
00:07:19.800 And this was offered by
00:07:20.840 Prevent
00:07:21.380 and Raikou
00:07:22.520 and the Homeland Security
00:07:23.660 Analysis and Insight team
00:07:25.000 which is the HSAI.
00:07:26.840 So, they've got some definitions
00:07:27.560 of extremism here.
00:07:28.920 Understand lists
00:07:29.840 nine types of extremism
00:07:31.220 in the following order.
00:07:32.480 Islamist,
00:07:33.400 extreme right-wing,
00:07:34.600 extreme misogyny,
00:07:36.200 pro-Kalistan extremism,
00:07:38.200 Hindu nationalism,
00:07:39.920 extremism,
00:07:41.300 so the Hindutva,
00:07:41.880 environmental extremism,
00:07:43.580 left-wing,
00:07:44.240 anarchist,
00:07:44.800 and single-issue extremism,
00:07:46.380 violence fascination,
00:07:47.720 and conspiracy theories.
00:07:49.000 Now, those aren't necessarily
00:07:50.060 in like descending order
00:07:51.140 or anything.
00:07:51.880 That's quite a mismatch
00:07:52.880 as well, isn't it?
00:07:53.700 Yeah, it's almost like
00:07:54.520 they're trying to cover
00:07:55.320 a whole broad spectrum
00:07:56.660 of things at once
00:07:57.540 and they're not doing
00:07:58.820 any of them very well.
00:08:00.200 In the section
00:08:00.740 on the extreme right-wing,
00:08:02.260 Sprint enters difficult waters
00:08:03.600 in declaring that
00:08:04.280 claims of two-tier policing
00:08:05.360 where groups are allegedly
00:08:06.160 treated differently
00:08:07.020 after similar behaviour
00:08:08.060 are an example
00:08:09.000 of a right-wing extremist
00:08:10.300 narrative leaking
00:08:10.980 into mainstream debates.
00:08:12.620 So, for example,
00:08:13.440 if you notice that
00:08:14.100 the police apply
00:08:15.120 different standards
00:08:15.660 to Palestine protests
00:08:16.780 or if you just cite things
00:08:18.560 like the Alexis J report
00:08:19.840 which say that the police
00:08:20.900 were too afraid
00:08:21.540 of accusations of racism
00:08:22.500 to step in
00:08:23.120 and actually police
00:08:23.780 the Pakistani rape gangs,
00:08:25.740 despite citing
00:08:26.240 government documents
00:08:27.080 in the UK,
00:08:28.100 you are being
00:08:28.840 surveilled
00:08:30.560 by the government
00:08:31.280 as a right-wing extremist.
00:08:32.480 So if you're citing
00:08:33.080 their own documents
00:08:33.700 back to them,
00:08:34.440 you're on a watch list,
00:08:35.640 which we probably are.
00:08:37.020 Oh, almost certainly.
00:08:37.940 Yeah, quite interesting
00:08:38.520 that, isn't it?
00:08:39.800 Sprint also categorises
00:08:40.800 the far right as,
00:08:41.760 quote,
00:08:41.880 hijacking extant
00:08:43.120 local grievances
00:08:43.960 about perceived inequalities
00:08:45.280 around access to resources,
00:08:46.980 e.g. benefits,
00:08:47.760 migrant hotels, etc.
00:08:48.640 Oh, yes.
00:08:49.420 Just perceived inequalities
00:08:50.300 when in certain regions
00:08:51.720 of London
00:08:52.060 about 76% of social housing
00:08:54.720 is going to
00:08:55.240 first-generation migrants.
00:08:56.440 Overall in London
00:08:57.060 it's about 50%.
00:08:57.700 Just perceived inequalities.
00:08:59.660 We're just pulling it
00:09:00.840 out of our backside
00:09:01.460 with all of the demographic
00:09:02.540 maps and stats.
00:09:03.140 For a specific community,
00:09:04.680 isn't it 71%
00:09:05.640 for Somalis in London?
00:09:06.960 We're 72.
00:09:07.900 72.
00:09:08.580 I might be off by it.
00:09:10.400 It could be going up.
00:09:11.280 It could be 73 by now.
00:09:12.420 We actually don't know.
00:09:13.420 Yeah.
00:09:14.100 I mean, Rupert Lowe's
00:09:14.860 been procuring a lot
00:09:15.700 of this data
00:09:16.100 and he's found that,
00:09:17.240 for example,
00:09:17.620 40% of immigrants
00:09:18.760 that came in in 2022
00:09:19.580 to 2023
00:09:20.380 are already on benefits.
00:09:22.340 Wonderful.
00:09:23.640 So, per capita, guys.
00:09:25.240 Not perceived,
00:09:26.080 but there you go.
00:09:27.600 As well,
00:09:28.460 fascinating.
00:09:28.980 When you say about
00:09:29.360 the grooming gangs
00:09:29.920 and, you know,
00:09:30.540 Pakistanis being in charge
00:09:31.760 of the Home Office
00:09:33.460 anti-extremism unit,
00:09:35.200 they might not want
00:09:36.720 to address that issue.
00:09:38.200 Quote,
00:09:38.520 there's little reference
00:09:39.380 to the grooming gangs
00:09:40.100 in here.
00:09:41.140 It's hard to see
00:09:41.640 how progress can be made
00:09:42.540 on reducing violence
00:09:43.620 against women,
00:09:44.180 for example,
00:09:44.840 and ensuring public confidence
00:09:46.320 unless countering grooming gangs
00:09:47.820 and difficult questions
00:09:48.680 that involves
00:09:49.220 are part of the programme.
00:09:50.120 The main mention
00:09:50.880 of the subject
00:09:51.320 in the leaked documents
00:09:51.980 is that, quote,
00:09:52.620 right-wing extremists
00:09:53.460 frequently exploit cases
00:09:54.640 of alleged,
00:09:55.720 alleged,
00:09:57.180 group-based sexual abuse
00:09:58.540 to promote
00:09:59.120 anti-Muslim sentiment
00:10:00.180 as well as anti-government
00:10:01.500 and anti-political
00:10:02.260 correctness narratives.
00:10:03.800 So they don't believe
00:10:04.760 it's even happening.
00:10:05.860 Despite the prosecutions,
00:10:07.220 despite all the witness testimonies,
00:10:09.140 despite the copiousness of evidence,
00:10:10.340 despite the fact that
00:10:11.220 Home Secretary
00:10:11.940 Swell-Abreverman
00:10:13.640 set up a joint task force
00:10:15.400 of 43 police forces
00:10:16.860 in England and Wales
00:10:17.440 and in the first year
00:10:18.680 arrested 550 people
00:10:20.120 and identified 4,000 victims,
00:10:22.800 their official policy
00:10:23.780 is it's not even happening.
00:10:25.360 It's very insulting
00:10:26.220 that they use the word
00:10:27.020 exploit to the people
00:10:28.680 who are victimised by this,
00:10:30.860 the people who have to live
00:10:31.700 in those communities as well
00:10:32.900 and know people.
00:10:34.260 Could you imagine
00:10:34.820 reading that
00:10:35.680 and saying that
00:10:36.300 people are exploiting it,
00:10:37.800 it's just a grievance,
00:10:39.100 there's not a legitimate concern.
00:10:41.200 I'd like to see
00:10:41.760 the people who wrote this
00:10:42.760 actually say that
00:10:43.480 to one of the victims
00:10:44.520 of the grooming gangs
00:10:45.580 face-to-face.
00:10:46.520 What's fascinating is
00:10:47.280 so Telford MP
00:10:48.340 Lucy,
00:10:50.200 I forgot my last name,
00:10:51.120 I do apologise,
00:10:51.800 she told The Telegraph
00:10:52.660 when she started speaking out
00:10:53.840 about the rape gangs
00:10:54.940 in her local area
00:10:55.840 because Telford's
00:10:56.300 one of the most notorious ones,
00:10:57.460 Baroness Saeed Avorsi
00:10:59.040 summoned her
00:10:59.940 and said,
00:11:00.820 explain yourself.
00:11:01.680 Now,
00:11:01.980 it's interesting to note
00:11:02.560 that Baroness Saeed Avorsi
00:11:03.640 when she was chairwoman
00:11:04.400 of the Conservative Party
00:11:05.140 in 2011,
00:11:06.500 her deputy,
00:11:07.760 her chief of staff,
00:11:09.000 Richard Chalk,
00:11:10.260 became the head of RICU
00:11:11.520 after he'd come back
00:11:12.760 from running PSYOPs
00:11:13.520 in Iraq for Bill Pottinger.
00:11:15.200 So he decided to,
00:11:15.840 rather than run PSYOPs
00:11:16.900 on behalf of the Iraq War,
00:11:18.380 come back and run PSYOPs
00:11:19.420 on the population.
00:11:20.040 Sorry Harry,
00:11:20.440 you look completely
00:11:21.360 just zoned out.
00:11:22.740 I mean,
00:11:24.720 I've not really got much
00:11:25.580 to say on all of this,
00:11:26.600 it's typical,
00:11:27.520 isn't it?
00:11:28.260 Understandable.
00:11:28.900 So,
00:11:29.340 here's the most revealing
00:11:30.960 part of this.
00:11:32.360 Why do you think
00:11:32.980 that they've said
00:11:33.620 that these are all
00:11:34.140 grievance narratives?
00:11:36.780 Because they're attacking
00:11:37.960 the government
00:11:38.640 and diversity
00:11:39.620 and these are things
00:11:41.040 that should not be questioned
00:11:42.380 and therefore are problems.
00:11:44.280 You basically bang on.
00:11:45.400 They said it's,
00:11:46.180 quote,
00:11:46.400 preventing integration.
00:11:48.100 So pointing out
00:11:49.160 the downsides
00:11:50.100 of immigration,
00:11:51.080 diversity,
00:11:51.520 you know,
00:11:52.060 like all the rapes,
00:11:53.800 that's what's stopping integration.
00:11:55.260 So you noticing the problem,
00:11:56.360 again,
00:11:57.080 is what's stopping integration.
00:11:58.220 If the far-right racists
00:11:59.280 wouldn't complain about
00:12:00.280 all the children being raped,
00:12:01.980 we'd all be singing
00:12:02.600 John Lennon's Imagine,
00:12:03.780 I suppose.
00:12:04.500 The behaviours and activity
00:12:05.440 of concern,
00:12:06.380 and this is the quote,
00:12:07.300 and damaging extremist beliefs
00:12:08.540 listed in the various documents
00:12:09.760 include a vast constellation
00:12:10.960 of attitudes and acts,
00:12:11.880 among them conspiracy theories,
00:12:12.880 misogyny,
00:12:13.280 violence against women and girls,
00:12:14.520 having a fixture on gore and violence
00:12:15.920 without adherence to an extremist ideology,
00:12:17.780 preventing integration,
00:12:19.280 influencing racism
00:12:20.120 and intolerance,
00:12:20.760 or involvement
00:12:21.700 in an online subculture
00:12:22.660 called the manosphere.
00:12:23.880 And then they decide to list
00:12:24.740 all things like incels,
00:12:25.780 pick-up artists,
00:12:26.780 because for some reason,
00:12:28.200 Labour politicians
00:12:28.800 like Jess Phillips
00:12:29.680 and Yvette Cooper
00:12:30.480 have a myopic obsession
00:12:31.740 of Andrew Tate clips
00:12:32.780 coming up on their Twitter.
00:12:34.140 I mean,
00:12:34.500 Keir Starmer did say last week
00:12:35.800 that these are the government's
00:12:36.760 new prime targets
00:12:37.820 for terror.
00:12:38.860 Yeah,
00:12:39.280 it's funny.
00:12:40.280 Sarah,
00:12:40.820 Sarah Khan in December.
00:12:42.760 No, no,
00:12:43.060 incels.
00:12:43.840 Okay.
00:12:44.800 Yeah,
00:12:44.980 if you can't get a girlfriend,
00:12:46.540 you're a terrorist.
00:12:47.120 Well,
00:12:47.300 that was Ruda Cabana's
00:12:48.440 biggest problem,
00:12:49.140 wasn't it?
00:12:49.560 That he was an incel.
00:12:50.980 Yes,
00:12:51.420 definitely.
00:12:52.240 Based on his search history,
00:12:54.140 literature,
00:12:55.260 all of that,
00:12:56.900 definitely,
00:12:57.300 that's the main takeaway.
00:12:58.320 It was either that he was an incel
00:12:59.800 or that he may have
00:13:01.220 speculatively smoked weed once.
00:13:03.780 I have confirmation
00:13:04.300 that he didn't.
00:13:05.680 What a surprise.
00:13:06.800 Yeah,
00:13:07.160 literally,
00:13:07.660 he was never under
00:13:08.100 the influence of drugs.
00:13:09.540 There's,
00:13:09.900 I mean,
00:13:10.200 as far as we know,
00:13:11.020 coming from his internet history,
00:13:12.400 he wasn't visiting,
00:13:14.320 like,
00:13:14.900 r slash or
00:13:15.740 slash poll
00:13:17.160 or anything like that.
00:13:18.240 So,
00:13:18.440 the government wants you to think
00:13:19.380 it's got to be anything
00:13:20.420 except mass migration,
00:13:22.380 religious extremism,
00:13:23.460 or just anti-white hatred,
00:13:25.000 right?
00:13:25.380 Yeah.
00:13:26.240 It's funny that,
00:13:27.080 the conspicuous absence
00:13:28.340 of something.
00:13:28.920 Are you noticing
00:13:29.860 that something's not really
00:13:30.720 getting mentioned here?
00:13:32.120 Yes.
00:13:32.860 So,
00:13:33.920 you know,
00:13:34.400 the case studies they include
00:13:35.720 in the Understand paper
00:13:36.700 include one
00:13:37.620 of about 430 words
00:13:39.480 on leafleting
00:13:41.160 and stickering campaigns
00:13:42.280 by two far-right groups,
00:13:43.520 so presumably that's like
00:13:44.340 Sam Melia
00:13:44.960 or something like that,
00:13:46.240 right?
00:13:46.540 And another of about 320 words
00:13:48.160 on the hundreds of
00:13:48.980 Punish a Muslim Day posts,
00:13:51.160 which,
00:13:51.580 tell Mama,
00:13:52.260 you know,
00:13:52.680 personal,
00:13:53.240 constant chronic liars,
00:13:55.300 because they said that
00:13:55.900 Boris Johnson's letterbox column
00:13:57.600 caused anti-Muslim hate
00:13:58.780 events when what they meant
00:13:59.720 is a phone line
00:14:00.860 had an increased report
00:14:02.220 of Muslims saying
00:14:03.140 they were offended.
00:14:04.400 Great,
00:14:04.800 thanks.
00:14:05.440 Tell Mama reported
00:14:06.100 that Punish a Muslim Day
00:14:06.900 had resulted in
00:14:07.540 one single incident
00:14:08.760 of school bullying.
00:14:09.580 So this is top priority
00:14:10.760 for Prevent,
00:14:11.360 right?
00:14:11.980 The only Islamist case study
00:14:13.400 in here,
00:14:13.720 the only one,
00:14:14.840 is Anjan Chowdhury's
00:14:15.920 Al Madroon.
00:14:16.960 Anjan Chowdhury's
00:14:17.660 currently in prison,
00:14:18.640 so no mention of
00:14:19.300 the 2017 London Bridge
00:14:20.840 or Westminster Bridge
00:14:21.680 attacks,
00:14:22.060 no mention of the
00:14:22.760 Manchester Arena bombing,
00:14:23.960 barely any mention of
00:14:24.640 the grooming gangs
00:14:25.120 other ones to say
00:14:25.740 it's a far-right
00:14:26.760 conspiracy theory,
00:14:28.580 wonder why they don't
00:14:29.800 want to talk about
00:14:30.400 Islamist extremism
00:14:31.460 at all.
00:14:33.600 Very weird.
00:14:34.360 No mention of the
00:14:34.740 Batley Grammar School
00:14:35.400 teacher who's still in
00:14:36.440 hiding,
00:14:36.760 which,
00:14:37.020 by the way,
00:14:37.660 Batley Grammar School
00:14:38.200 teacher in hiding
00:14:39.160 has received less support
00:14:40.600 than Axel Rudokabana's
00:14:42.100 parents have from the
00:14:42.800 state.
00:14:44.380 That's infuriating,
00:14:45.560 isn't it?
00:14:45.960 Yep,
00:14:46.420 yep,
00:14:46.880 just traitors run
00:14:48.240 the government,
00:14:48.940 conspicuous absence of
00:14:50.220 focus on Muslim terrorism,
00:14:51.160 basically,
00:14:51.580 is what I'm getting at,
00:14:52.140 despite,
00:14:52.580 as the authors of
00:14:53.360 this paper,
00:14:54.120 Andrew Gilligan and
00:14:55.100 Dr Paul Stott remind us,
00:14:56.580 in the UK,
00:14:57.360 Islamists are responsible
00:14:58.100 for 94% of all terror
00:14:59.600 deaths and 88% of terror
00:15:01.220 injuries since 1999.
00:15:02.760 Allow me to also add
00:15:04.340 a more updated version
00:15:05.300 because I did my own
00:15:06.240 calculation of this,
00:15:07.640 and since 2005,
00:15:09.160 when the IRA bombings
00:15:10.580 stopped,
00:15:11.460 you know,
00:15:11.680 when things returned
00:15:13.260 to somewhat normal
00:15:14.200 relations with Ireland,
00:15:16.560 it is,
00:15:17.340 I think,
00:15:17.700 96.97% of all
00:15:20.340 terror-related fatalities
00:15:21.640 have an Islamist
00:15:23.240 perpetrator.
00:15:24.940 There you go,
00:15:25.480 and 80% of the
00:15:26.680 open case files
00:15:27.400 for counter-terror
00:15:27.940 police,
00:15:28.780 and,
00:15:29.260 what was it,
00:15:30.020 75% of open case
00:15:31.640 files for MI5,
00:15:32.560 and 63% of terrorists
00:15:34.020 currently in custody
00:15:34.720 are Muslim.
00:15:36.280 So that's an
00:15:36.740 inconvenient fact,
00:15:37.680 and yet,
00:15:38.080 Prevent,
00:15:39.540 Raikou,
00:15:40.420 just not bothered.
00:15:42.280 Actually,
00:15:42.700 Understand devotes
00:15:43.600 the exact same
00:15:44.480 amount of page space,
00:15:45.760 one page,
00:15:46.840 to Islamist extremism,
00:15:47.960 as to conspiracy theories,
00:15:49.560 pro-Kalistan extremism,
00:15:51.420 Sikh extremism,
00:15:53.020 extreme misogyny,
00:15:54.360 and environmental extremism,
00:15:55.820 which,
00:15:56.480 as far as we know,
00:15:57.120 have caused absolutely
00:15:58.080 no deaths.
00:15:59.000 So,
00:15:59.780 yeah,
00:16:00.240 there you go.
00:16:01.020 Now,
00:16:01.160 I've been reporting on this
00:16:01.820 for quite a while,
00:16:02.500 because this has tangible
00:16:03.900 consequences.
00:16:05.380 So,
00:16:05.800 how many of you guys
00:16:06.500 have heard of the
00:16:06.900 Shawcross report?
00:16:07.720 It was a review of Prevent.
00:16:08.640 I've heard of it,
00:16:09.140 yes.
00:16:09.740 So,
00:16:09.940 so,
00:16:10.200 Shawcross,
00:16:10.760 I put this in a very long
00:16:12.660 study of Raikou,
00:16:13.840 basically,
00:16:14.680 but,
00:16:14.920 Shawcross found that,
00:16:17.200 and this is a quote,
00:16:18.100 Prevent is not doing enough
00:16:19.120 to counter non-violent
00:16:20.180 Islamist extremism,
00:16:22.100 and has applied a double standard
00:16:23.320 when dealing with
00:16:23.840 the extreme right-wing
00:16:24.600 and Islamism.
00:16:25.280 By the way,
00:16:25.860 they define extreme right-wing
00:16:27.200 via a list of texts
00:16:29.040 leaked in 2019
00:16:29.840 that they called
00:16:30.160 Actively Patriotic and Proud,
00:16:31.540 as reading
00:16:32.060 Douglas Murray,
00:16:33.200 Peter Hitchens,
00:16:34.040 Melanie Phillips,
00:16:35.520 J.R.R. Tolkien,
00:16:36.760 Beowulf,
00:16:37.220 and George Orwell's 1984.
00:16:39.160 So,
00:16:39.320 if you read any of those,
00:16:40.120 you're a terrorist,
00:16:40.760 but if you read the Quran
00:16:41.560 and Hadith,
00:16:42.220 no,
00:16:42.520 just fine by them,
00:16:43.340 that's fine.
00:16:44.040 And he said,
00:16:44.420 the present boundaries
00:16:45.360 around what is termed by Prevent
00:16:46.620 as extremist Islamist ideology
00:16:48.260 are drawn too narrowly,
00:16:49.040 while the boundaries around
00:16:49.700 the ideology of the extreme
00:16:50.540 right-wing are far too broad.
00:16:52.000 When discussing Islamism,
00:16:53.140 Prevent's staff frequently
00:16:54.020 came back to issues
00:16:54.760 relating to mental health
00:16:55.720 concerns and vulnerabilities.
00:16:57.260 That, by the way,
00:16:57.720 is a larger share of referrals
00:16:58.820 now,
00:16:59.100 it's just this nebulous
00:16:59.880 mental health thing.
00:17:01.420 Ideology,
00:17:01.920 if acknowledged at all,
00:17:02.640 was treated as a secondary factor,
00:17:04.260 and a derivative of a wider
00:17:05.540 psychological or social issue.
00:17:06.720 Put simply,
00:17:07.380 ideology was not seen
00:17:08.420 as an essential part
00:17:09.340 of the trajectory
00:17:09.900 towards terrorism,
00:17:10.680 instead it was viewed
00:17:11.780 as one of many
00:17:12.940 potential radicalising factors.
00:17:14.900 They do realise
00:17:15.620 how terrorism works,
00:17:17.000 right,
00:17:17.200 and how it actually
00:17:17.800 gets its name,
00:17:18.580 is that you invoke terror
00:17:20.580 on a population
00:17:21.500 because of the
00:17:22.560 sort of unprovoked violence.
00:17:24.900 So,
00:17:25.240 that sort of implies
00:17:26.140 that it's being done
00:17:26.780 for a reason,
00:17:28.200 doesn't it?
00:17:28.800 There's intention
00:17:30.060 built into the term,
00:17:32.520 and so they've
00:17:33.220 completely misunderstood
00:17:34.400 the very definition
00:17:35.660 of the word
00:17:36.220 they're meant to be.
00:17:37.140 Well,
00:17:37.340 it's only their job,
00:17:38.220 Josh.
00:17:38.660 Yeah, I mean...
00:17:39.140 You could say
00:17:39.560 it's a misunderstanding,
00:17:40.480 or you could say
00:17:41.140 it's purposeful obfuscation.
00:17:42.560 I was being a bit charitable.
00:17:43.560 Oh, I understand,
00:17:44.520 and I think it's fine
00:17:45.220 to be charitable
00:17:45.820 until we go on.
00:17:47.900 So,
00:17:48.200 because of this,
00:17:49.160 under the Khan sisters,
00:17:51.380 turns out the prevent referrals
00:17:52.620 dropped for Islamist extremism.
00:17:54.480 Only 22% of prevent referrals
00:17:56.500 in 2020 to 2021
00:17:58.060 were for Islamic extremism,
00:17:59.960 and 25% of them
00:18:01.780 were for the far right,
00:18:02.800 despite far right,
00:18:03.920 far right,
00:18:04.680 making up only 10%
00:18:05.780 of counter-police's
00:18:06.840 open investigations
00:18:07.720 and Islamic extremism,
00:18:08.840 again,
00:18:09.260 being 80%,
00:18:10.160 and, of course...
00:18:11.360 And I would assume
00:18:11.860 within the far right there
00:18:12.860 you are lumping people
00:18:13.740 like Sam Melia
00:18:14.600 putting out stickers.
00:18:15.980 Yes, I mean,
00:18:16.880 do we remember
00:18:17.520 that training video
00:18:18.720 that they sent out
00:18:19.720 a little while ago
00:18:20.400 where it said
00:18:21.120 that a 17-year-old boy
00:18:22.500 is putting up
00:18:22.920 anti-migration stickers
00:18:24.000 in a public park,
00:18:25.020 so call prevent on him?
00:18:27.340 Ridiculous, isn't it?
00:18:28.400 I'm just looking up the...
00:18:29.940 Because in 2021,
00:18:31.600 yeah,
00:18:31.860 the terror threat
00:18:33.080 went up by 90%
00:18:35.080 when they reclassified
00:18:36.960 things to include
00:18:38.880 the far right
00:18:39.700 and right-wing extremism,
00:18:41.140 which meant that
00:18:41.960 the number of pensioners
00:18:42.980 on the list
00:18:43.440 went up 90%,
00:18:44.500 sorry.
00:18:45.180 That was the actual figure.
00:18:46.860 So all of these pensioners
00:18:47.880 who are probably
00:18:48.300 not even physically capable
00:18:49.620 of carrying out
00:18:50.360 a terror attack
00:18:51.080 were put on this list
00:18:52.160 because they wanted
00:18:53.060 to seem even-handed,
00:18:54.180 and in fact,
00:18:55.580 I believe someone
00:18:56.060 who is a former head
00:18:57.880 of the COBRA
00:18:58.580 emergency meeting group
00:19:00.900 said this is basically
00:19:02.000 just being done
00:19:02.560 for political reasons.
00:19:03.700 The threat is not equivalent
00:19:05.040 to Islamic extremism.
00:19:06.620 And this is someone
00:19:07.280 who is Colonel Richard Kemp,
00:19:09.400 the terror expert.
00:19:10.160 Funny that he got sued
00:19:11.800 by Saeed Avorsi
00:19:12.880 for libel
00:19:13.500 for suggesting
00:19:14.080 that she was liaising
00:19:15.120 with Muslim groups
00:19:16.700 that she herself called,
00:19:17.840 although not illegal,
00:19:19.060 clearly illiberal.
00:19:20.840 So, funny how that
00:19:22.100 interplays, isn't it?
00:19:23.180 Anyway, point being,
00:19:24.000 I actually met a civil servant
00:19:24.940 while I was out in DC
00:19:25.980 who had worked
00:19:26.780 at the Department of Trade
00:19:27.420 and got referred
00:19:27.880 to prevent having a photo
00:19:28.820 of Jacob Rees-Mogg
00:19:29.520 in his office.
00:19:30.740 That is how low
00:19:31.680 the bar is for the far right.
00:19:33.620 You mean the man
00:19:34.440 who was...
00:19:35.280 Doesn't care about
00:19:35.760 demographic change?
00:19:36.440 Yeah.
00:19:37.000 Senior frontbench
00:19:38.480 Conservative MP
00:19:39.300 and GB News panellist.
00:19:41.740 Does owning a top hat
00:19:42.780 put you on the list as well?
00:19:45.460 Fat controller
00:19:46.140 on Suicide Watch.
00:19:48.320 So, we can laugh about this
00:19:50.420 and it's worth us doing so,
00:19:51.580 but remember,
00:19:52.280 this means that
00:19:53.500 Islamists
00:19:54.460 and people of
00:19:56.140 diverse extraction
00:19:57.640 don't quite get monitored
00:19:58.880 by Prevent.
00:19:59.460 And the most tragic examples
00:20:00.560 of this are, of course,
00:20:01.440 Abi Habiali,
00:20:02.380 the son of the Somalian diplomat
00:20:03.900 who in 2021
00:20:04.600 murdered Sir David Amos MP
00:20:06.280 at a constituency surgery
00:20:08.160 over his vote on Libya.
00:20:09.500 He'd actually been stalking
00:20:10.420 Michael Gove the day before
00:20:11.440 as well,
00:20:11.980 so the great irony is
00:20:13.060 that Michael Gove
00:20:13.520 enabled the situation
00:20:14.400 and was nearly killed
00:20:15.320 by the exact kind of person
00:20:16.400 that Prevent
00:20:17.200 let go after one meeting
00:20:18.820 with no follow-up.
00:20:19.440 And then there's
00:20:20.380 Axel Rudakabana
00:20:21.020 who's referred to Prevent
00:20:22.120 three times between
00:20:23.160 2019 and 2021.
00:20:25.300 Despite owning ISIS materials,
00:20:27.160 being obsessed with
00:20:27.900 white genocide,
00:20:28.820 telling classmates
00:20:29.540 he wanted white genocide,
00:20:30.740 carrying a knife
00:20:31.400 into school ten times,
00:20:32.540 being excluded,
00:20:33.260 then coming back
00:20:33.780 on the school grounds
00:20:34.380 and breaking a
00:20:34.980 classmate's wrist
00:20:35.720 with a hockey stick.
00:20:37.080 Again,
00:20:37.560 absolutely no follow-up
00:20:38.420 to this referral.
00:20:39.500 Is it because of
00:20:40.280 the possession of his materials
00:20:41.300 and the colour of their skin?
00:20:42.860 Prevent just decided
00:20:43.580 to overlook it
00:20:44.560 because they thought
00:20:45.080 it might be racist
00:20:45.700 to look into it.
00:20:46.360 Weird, that.
00:20:48.080 So, I've got some evidence
00:20:49.400 possibly of this happening.
00:20:51.380 So, we'll go back
00:20:52.300 to the Policy Exchange report
00:20:53.400 because these are
00:20:54.080 the recommendations they made.
00:20:55.300 They say that
00:20:55.920 responsibility for
00:20:56.680 counter-extremism
00:20:57.340 moves back to the Home Office
00:20:58.840 because under the Conservatives
00:21:00.200 Michael Gove
00:21:00.800 moved it to his department.
00:21:02.440 There's going to be
00:21:02.960 a creation of a
00:21:03.700 counter-extremism
00:21:04.600 ministerial board
00:21:05.500 featuring Dan Jarvis MP,
00:21:07.240 MBE MP,
00:21:08.300 Jess Phillips,
00:21:08.860 our old friend
00:21:09.440 who absolutely has
00:21:10.180 a very sane definition
00:21:11.360 of things,
00:21:12.400 Vett Cooper,
00:21:13.460 obviously,
00:21:13.980 Prevent Director
00:21:14.540 Michael Stewart
00:21:15.140 who has overseen
00:21:15.900 this decline
00:21:16.460 in Islamist referrals
00:21:17.680 and representatives
00:21:18.460 from GCHQ,
00:21:19.560 MI5,
00:21:20.080 the Joint Terrorism
00:21:20.840 Analysis Centre
00:21:21.560 and the Charity Commission.
00:21:22.980 The Charity Commission
00:21:23.600 on there means
00:21:24.180 you're going to get
00:21:24.520 a bunch of
00:21:25.000 left-wing activist NGOs
00:21:26.120 setting the definition
00:21:26.780 like Hope Not Hate
00:21:28.040 who did the Islamist,
00:21:29.720 the, sorry,
00:21:30.840 Islamophobia definition
00:21:31.620 in the first place.
00:21:33.400 And they also want
00:21:34.000 to make a new crime
00:21:34.800 of making harmful
00:21:35.640 communications online
00:21:36.700 which was originally
00:21:37.280 rejected as part
00:21:38.060 of the online safety bill
00:21:39.000 and the Conservatives
00:21:39.700 and now they want
00:21:40.040 to bring it back
00:21:40.580 and they want to increase
00:21:41.880 the number of
00:21:42.280 non-crime hate incidents
00:21:43.200 recorded.
00:21:43.600 What do you mean
00:21:44.740 a curious wording
00:21:45.880 they're making
00:21:46.660 online communications
00:21:48.560 as in
00:21:49.640 just you communicating
00:21:51.500 online?
00:21:51.980 Is it just a weird
00:21:52.560 way of saying that
00:21:53.260 or is it that
00:21:53.660 you're creating resources
00:21:55.180 to be communicated
00:21:56.160 like infographics
00:21:57.400 or things like that?
00:21:58.360 Is this an anti-meme
00:21:59.620 legislation?
00:22:00.560 Yes.
00:22:00.940 It kind of sounds like it.
00:22:02.040 Basically,
00:22:02.300 if you share
00:22:02.840 online misinformation
00:22:03.580 that causes real-world harm
00:22:04.740 like people sharing
00:22:06.880 the incorrect identity
00:22:08.540 of the Southport perpetrator
00:22:09.700 as some Syrian migrant,
00:22:10.780 they weren't being able
00:22:12.600 to be prosecuted
00:22:13.280 under the current law
00:22:14.020 they want to make a law
00:22:14.820 so they can be prosecuted.
00:22:15.900 So if you get something
00:22:16.420 wrong on the internet
00:22:17.220 and it offends a minority
00:22:18.240 you can go to prison.
00:22:19.980 That's what they want to do.
00:22:21.360 Yvette Cooper promised
00:22:22.300 to increase the number
00:22:23.040 of non-crime hate incidents
00:22:23.880 being recorded
00:22:24.460 by the way
00:22:25.240 in August 2024.
00:22:26.300 She's going to run
00:22:26.820 into some problems
00:22:27.520 because an act of parliament
00:22:28.540 changed the law
00:22:29.280 but as I've covered recently
00:22:30.740 even though Suella Braveman
00:22:31.940 tried to make it better
00:22:32.820 what she did
00:22:33.440 was she asked the police
00:22:34.400 to record non-crime hate incidents
00:22:36.000 using common sense
00:22:38.160 and not to record it
00:22:39.600 when it's clearly malicious.
00:22:40.780 Now the problem is
00:22:41.700 under the Equality Act
00:22:42.540 if you've got
00:22:42.840 protected characteristics
00:22:43.720 the police are told
00:22:45.120 not to engage
00:22:45.680 in secondary victimisation
00:22:46.660 by asking you for evidence
00:22:47.660 so it just went up.
00:22:50.240 Turns out
00:22:50.680 after the guidance
00:22:51.720 trying to improve things
00:22:52.540 the number of
00:22:53.360 non-crime hate incidents
00:22:54.160 went up
00:22:54.740 so it didn't quite go so great.
00:22:57.920 After Alison Pearson
00:22:58.820 got a knock on the door
00:22:59.600 from the police
00:23:00.120 for an anti-Hamas tweet
00:23:01.800 it was found
00:23:02.700 that last year
00:23:03.620 13,000
00:23:05.200 non-crime hate incidents
00:23:06.420 were recorded.
00:23:07.400 That was an increase
00:23:08.020 from 11,000
00:23:09.220 from before
00:23:09.880 the guidance
00:23:10.740 so police
00:23:12.100 who haven't solved
00:23:12.660 one burglary
00:23:13.400 in the majority
00:23:14.200 of constituencies
00:23:15.180 in England and Wales
00:23:16.280 are obsessed
00:23:17.000 with policing tweets.
00:23:17.940 I would love to find out
00:23:19.540 just how many
00:23:20.560 the Lotus Eaters have got
00:23:21.500 we could have a little
00:23:22.000 league table go on.
00:23:23.160 You can actually
00:23:23.640 think send off
00:23:24.900 an FRI request
00:23:25.680 and find out
00:23:26.540 I found out
00:23:27.620 that I didn't get one
00:23:28.440 lodged against me
00:23:29.240 after I almost got arrested
00:23:30.240 in 2022
00:23:30.940 outside a Conservative Party
00:23:31.880 conference
00:23:32.180 but I wouldn't be shocked
00:23:33.240 if I've got one since.
00:23:34.740 And these do bar you
00:23:35.520 from public sector employment
00:23:36.460 by the way
00:23:36.900 so people don't know
00:23:37.540 and bear in mind
00:23:38.400 Oh well
00:23:39.240 Josh and I are fine then.
00:23:40.680 Yeah
00:23:40.820 well bear in mind
00:23:41.440 that the UK now has
00:23:42.400 more civil servants
00:23:43.180 per capita than Communist China
00:23:44.340 so the public sector
00:23:45.500 is swelling
00:23:45.860 and so they're just
00:23:46.660 essentially ideologically
00:23:47.760 gauging.
00:23:47.980 Communists are more efficient.
00:23:49.280 Is that true?
00:23:50.080 Yes.
00:23:50.420 The Communist Chinese
00:23:51.280 have a leaner state.
00:23:52.960 A country that's
00:23:54.640 the size of an empire
00:23:56.340 with a ridiculously
00:23:57.920 large population
00:23:59.140 less civil servants.
00:24:00.760 Yeah.
00:24:01.260 And also we've got
00:24:02.280 more diversity and inclusion
00:24:03.280 This country makes so much sense.
00:24:04.380 We've got more diversity
00:24:04.900 and inclusion commissars
00:24:06.160 than any other country
00:24:06.980 in the world right now
00:24:07.820 especially after Trump
00:24:08.560 has just defunded them all.
00:24:10.020 So we are just
00:24:10.660 as Morgoth has said
00:24:12.060 woke North Korea
00:24:12.800 and so you can't work
00:24:13.820 for the state
00:24:14.220 if you've got one of these
00:24:15.080 increasing numbers.
00:24:15.580 North Korean states
00:24:16.540 leaner than ours
00:24:17.200 at this rate.
00:24:17.960 Yeah.
00:24:18.380 So well I mean
00:24:19.180 they've not got much food
00:24:20.040 to go around.
00:24:20.820 Speaking of people
00:24:21.520 working hand and glove
00:24:22.100 at the state
00:24:22.360 this also coincides
00:24:23.320 with and Sara Khan
00:24:23.980 We won't either soon.
00:24:25.380 True.
00:24:25.920 Fair point.
00:24:26.560 Sara Khan has also
00:24:27.720 been involved
00:24:28.680 in a BBC undercover
00:24:30.040 investigation of
00:24:30.780 Patriotic Alternative.
00:24:31.680 Now we can think
00:24:32.760 that Patriotic Alternative
00:24:33.740 are not a particularly
00:24:34.420 credible group
00:24:35.860 to govern
00:24:36.460 and we can think
00:24:37.180 that Mark Collett
00:24:37.780 said some unsavory
00:24:38.600 things in the past
00:24:39.260 and I wouldn't trust him
00:24:39.940 to run a bath
00:24:40.620 than a government department
00:24:41.620 but it's funny that
00:24:42.760 I still don't think
00:24:43.400 they should be
00:24:43.880 under government
00:24:44.460 investigation
00:24:45.340 for being a political
00:24:46.840 party that offends people.
00:24:48.500 During this process
00:24:49.680 the guy who went
00:24:50.540 undercover as part
00:24:51.360 of the BBC
00:24:51.840 was down and out
00:24:53.080 on his luck
00:24:53.440 and so members of PA
00:24:54.420 asked
00:24:54.880 do you want us
00:24:55.700 to find you a job
00:24:56.380 and things like that.
00:24:57.040 Oh they were nice to him?
00:24:58.280 Yes.
00:24:59.840 And he still submitted
00:25:01.200 his investigation
00:25:02.200 smearing them?
00:25:02.780 Well the purpose
00:25:03.860 of this investigation
00:25:04.540 so state media
00:25:05.360 is working with the state
00:25:06.100 here and Dame Sara Khan
00:25:07.040 who's still independent
00:25:08.120 but is obviously
00:25:08.980 working with Hope Not Hate
00:25:09.860 who are Home Office
00:25:10.660 funded to create reports
00:25:12.600 to say here you should
00:25:13.500 ban certain people.
00:25:15.160 Sara Khan is quoted
00:25:16.200 in here funnily enough
00:25:17.280 former counter-extremism
00:25:18.500 commissioner Dame Sara Khan
00:25:19.680 believes the UK government
00:25:20.600 should urgently change
00:25:21.460 the law to make groups
00:25:22.300 like Patriotic Alternative
00:25:23.300 illegal so she wants
00:25:24.000 to prescribe them
00:25:24.860 as a terror group.
00:25:25.780 So actual referrals
00:25:26.900 for Islamist groups
00:25:27.760 went down under her watch
00:25:29.200 they literally missed terrorists
00:25:30.960 like Abbie Harvey Ali
00:25:31.840 and Axel Ridicobana
00:25:33.380 but we're going to
00:25:34.660 prescribe Patriotic Alternative
00:25:36.280 as a terror group
00:25:37.420 because basically
00:25:38.920 the demand
00:25:39.860 for far-right terrorists
00:25:41.220 outstrips the supply.
00:25:42.840 Also I will say
00:25:44.040 it's not
00:25:44.380 so you're telling me
00:25:45.780 that Dame Khan
00:25:46.780 classic British name
00:25:48.140 wants to make a group
00:25:49.940 that specifically
00:25:51.100 stands up for
00:25:52.100 the rights of
00:25:52.900 ethnically British people
00:25:54.040 illegal.
00:25:55.740 You said exactly
00:25:56.520 what I was going to say.
00:25:57.680 I could never have guessed
00:25:58.960 that such a thing
00:25:59.720 would happen.
00:26:00.220 I'm so glad
00:26:01.040 that we put women
00:26:01.740 like her in positions
00:26:02.640 of power.
00:26:03.180 And one does not need
00:26:03.980 to support Patriotic Alternative
00:26:05.080 to notice that
00:26:06.020 let's say malicious
00:26:07.220 ethnic and religious
00:26:08.580 preference
00:26:09.000 which only ever cuts
00:26:09.900 one way
00:26:10.260 and I say it only
00:26:11.100 ever cuts one way.
00:26:11.340 I'm sorry
00:26:11.840 Josh you're so right
00:26:13.300 it is always just about
00:26:14.280 resource acquisition
00:26:15.340 isn't it?
00:26:15.920 It is yeah.
00:26:16.440 Yeah and this is access
00:26:17.240 to political resource.
00:26:18.960 I say it only ever cuts
00:26:19.780 one way
00:26:20.080 because under Khan's
00:26:21.040 leadership
00:26:21.360 something called
00:26:22.420 the Home Office
00:26:23.200 Islamic Network
00:26:24.120 which I've been
00:26:24.960 shouting about
00:26:25.620 for a while.
00:26:26.500 That exists at all.
00:26:27.680 It's now got 700 members
00:26:29.540 and guess where
00:26:31.520 they mainly work?
00:26:33.100 Raikou and Prevent?
00:26:34.020 In Bradford I imagine.
00:26:35.120 Well yeah.
00:26:36.040 Hey Birmingham as well
00:26:36.840 come on.
00:26:37.060 That's true.
00:26:37.540 Possibly.
00:26:37.900 So here's some things
00:26:39.180 that happened under
00:26:39.640 Khan's watch.
00:26:40.480 While Khan and her
00:26:41.680 sister were running
00:26:42.540 the Home Office
00:26:43.380 and Prevent and Raikou
00:26:44.660 Hope Not Hate
00:26:45.520 received grants
00:26:46.220 of £50,000
00:26:47.160 and £141,380
00:26:49.460 in 2019 and 2020
00:26:51.560 to brief multiple
00:26:52.680 departments on
00:26:53.240 emerging trends in
00:26:53.900 UK hate.
00:26:54.420 At that time
00:26:55.060 they were working
00:26:55.840 with the all-party
00:26:56.680 parliamentary group
00:26:57.620 on Islamophobia
00:26:58.400 which was headed
00:26:58.960 by Wes Streeting
00:26:59.680 is now headed by
00:27:00.640 drumroll
00:27:01.220 Say Divorcee
00:27:02.120 to invent an
00:27:02.960 Islamophobia definition
00:27:03.960 which said that
00:27:04.740 if you talk about
00:27:05.180 grooming gangs
00:27:05.720 you're making racist
00:27:06.840 remarks against
00:27:07.680 the Muslim community
00:27:09.060 in Britain
00:27:09.640 so they were just
00:27:10.620 being paid by the
00:27:11.480 government to ban
00:27:12.140 any conversation
00:27:12.700 about grooming gangs
00:27:13.520 and then they also
00:27:14.240 received payments
00:27:14.820 of £240,000
00:27:15.700 £275,000
00:27:17.420 and £60,000
00:27:18.700 from the Paul Hamlin
00:27:19.680 Foundation
00:27:20.180 who themselves
00:27:20.860 are funded by
00:27:21.320 the Home Office
00:27:21.720 they're a pro-migration
00:27:22.580 charity
00:27:22.960 and that was part
00:27:24.540 of the foundation's
00:27:26.120 migration fund
00:27:26.880 to create
00:27:27.400 and I quote
00:27:28.020 a UK network
00:27:29.320 of young migrant
00:27:30.000 leaders and a network
00:27:30.780 of leaders and
00:27:31.340 organisations within
00:27:32.120 towns who respond
00:27:33.720 to local needs
00:27:34.580 and pressure points
00:27:35.280 and share learning
00:27:36.020 to enable rapid
00:27:36.760 response to
00:27:37.580 provocative elements
00:27:38.320 Translation
00:27:39.140 they create little
00:27:40.500 protest splinter groups
00:27:41.780 to respond
00:27:42.840 once
00:27:43.720 I don't know
00:27:44.540 another protest
00:27:45.280 kicks off about
00:27:46.120 diversity
00:27:46.860 multiculturalism
00:27:47.740 or Islam
00:27:48.280 so then
00:27:49.000 these
00:27:49.880 very well-principled
00:27:51.460 anti-racist activists
00:27:52.560 can stand out there
00:27:53.240 with pre-printed placards
00:27:54.280 get a photo
00:27:55.080 and suddenly
00:27:55.680 it appears on
00:27:56.420 a newspaper front page
00:27:57.320 It reminds me of
00:27:58.300 when all of the riots
00:27:59.480 were going on in August
00:28:00.440 and all of the
00:28:02.280 you know
00:28:03.580 anti-immigration people
00:28:05.140 seemed to be
00:28:06.460 organic
00:28:07.180 in that
00:28:07.660 all of their signs
00:28:08.520 if they did have
00:28:09.360 signs which many
00:28:09.920 of them didn't
00:28:10.880 seemed to be
00:28:11.760 homemade
00:28:12.220 handmade
00:28:12.640 and different
00:28:13.380 holding different
00:28:14.380 messages
00:28:14.780 and then
00:28:15.780 the other side
00:28:16.920 all had
00:28:17.980 stand up to
00:28:18.480 racism signs
00:28:19.280 or
00:28:19.620 basically
00:28:20.640 carbon copies
00:28:21.320 of one another
00:28:22.060 the whole thing
00:28:22.880 seemed like it
00:28:23.560 was centrally
00:28:24.000 organised
00:28:24.380 because
00:28:24.720 lots of people
00:28:25.740 at lots of
00:28:26.380 different times
00:28:26.940 all turned up
00:28:27.500 at the same
00:28:28.000 these pre-planned
00:28:29.240 places with the
00:28:29.960 same signs
00:28:30.800 they always have
00:28:31.740 handmaid's tale
00:28:32.520 outfits as well
00:28:33.340 you mean that one
00:28:33.980 yep
00:28:34.280 yeah this one
00:28:35.240 yeah
00:28:35.440 funny that
00:28:36.360 this was classic
00:28:36.940 every single newspaper
00:28:38.060 on the exact same day
00:28:39.920 had the same front page
00:28:41.520 yeah
00:28:41.820 and it's almost like
00:28:42.400 it was government
00:28:42.780 orchestrated
00:28:43.560 well
00:28:43.900 so I put in an
00:28:44.700 FOI request
00:28:45.300 about this actually
00:28:45.840 and they told me
00:28:47.460 we had no input
00:28:48.360 into the headlines
00:28:48.860 I was like
00:28:49.740 that's not what I asked
00:28:50.600 though
00:28:50.840 you sidestepped that one
00:28:52.300 and the reason I asked
00:28:53.260 that is because
00:28:53.740 Dame Sara Khan
00:28:54.560 specifically set this
00:28:55.580 trend of
00:28:56.620 the Raikou unit
00:28:58.100 controlling newspaper
00:28:58.720 front pages
00:28:59.200 because as you can see here
00:29:00.260 here's Dame Sara Khan's
00:29:01.760 charity called Inspire
00:29:02.920 she did the hashtag
00:29:03.680 making a stand campaign
00:29:04.900 Theresa May helped launch it
00:29:06.320 the Home Office
00:29:07.180 and Raikou
00:29:07.860 they called it
00:29:09.300 a Raikou product
00:29:10.800 in internal emails
00:29:11.560 and then
00:29:12.320 when Alan Henning
00:29:13.460 was beheaded by ISIS
00:29:14.440 in 2014
00:29:15.220 guess what showed up
00:29:16.240 on the front page
00:29:16.660 of the Sun
00:29:16.920 funny that isn't it
00:29:18.920 it's literally
00:29:19.800 Sara Khan's image
00:29:20.620 that they made
00:29:21.220 in advance
00:29:21.800 in collaboration
00:29:22.520 with the Home Office
00:29:23.240 also under Sara Khan
00:29:25.080 that Home Office
00:29:25.920 Islamic network
00:29:26.800 grew
00:29:27.320 and
00:29:28.380 and this was reported
00:29:29.520 by GB News
00:29:30.180 a little while ago
00:29:30.940 again by Stephen Edgington
00:29:32.860 so people are just
00:29:33.380 sort of catching on now
00:29:34.120 Patrick Christus
00:29:34.780 decided to report this
00:29:35.900 yesterday
00:29:36.220 but this was reported
00:29:36.860 in November
00:29:37.280 by me and Stephen
00:29:38.400 his quote
00:29:40.120 is absolutely wild
00:29:41.540 Home Office
00:29:42.380 whistleblower told
00:29:43.060 GB News
00:29:43.440 having an Islamic
00:29:44.360 lobby group
00:29:45.140 inside the Home Office
00:29:45.920 represents a serious
00:29:46.780 threat to the government's
00:29:47.680 aims in combating
00:29:48.460 Islamic extremism
00:29:49.380 and granting asylum
00:29:50.540 to those fleeing
00:29:51.200 Islamic countries
00:29:51.920 over religious persecution
00:29:53.020 and the network
00:29:54.320 themselves say
00:29:55.060 that they aim to
00:29:55.800 quote
00:29:56.060 promote the recruitment
00:29:57.300 retention
00:29:57.960 and progression
00:29:58.860 of Muslim staff
00:29:59.640 in the Home Office
00:30:00.180 and influence
00:30:01.100 policy makers
00:30:01.800 so that policy
00:30:02.260 is more inclusive
00:30:02.760 of Muslim needs
00:30:03.400 remember guys
00:30:04.640 don't do identity politics
00:30:06.160 identity politics
00:30:07.420 is bad
00:30:08.480 and it's illiberal
00:30:09.420 Englishmen are liberal
00:30:10.400 so don't do identity politics
00:30:11.760 just let all of these
00:30:12.900 other groups
00:30:13.640 who hate you
00:30:14.380 organise against you
00:30:15.800 on identity basis
00:30:16.920 that's what
00:30:18.460 liberalism and democracy
00:30:20.020 is about right
00:30:20.720 yeah and it's funny
00:30:21.400 that so when
00:30:22.140 they were called up
00:30:22.920 on the fact
00:30:23.420 that they were
00:30:24.100 stopping monitoring
00:30:25.200 Islamic extremism
00:30:26.280 by William Shawcross
00:30:27.460 the Home Office
00:30:28.280 then set up a seminar
00:30:29.060 in King's College London
00:30:30.020 and so members
00:30:30.960 of the Islamic Network
00:30:31.860 went
00:30:32.300 and I'll finish on this
00:30:33.860 in January 2024
00:30:35.360 at a King's College London
00:30:36.980 course called
00:30:37.940 Issues in Countering Terrorism
00:30:39.980 for the Civil Servants
00:30:41.560 a lecturer described
00:30:42.560 William Shawcross
00:30:43.140 as the type of person
00:30:44.060 who would say
00:30:44.480 all current
00:30:45.020 counter-terrorism
00:30:45.720 professionals are woke
00:30:46.540 he is of that ilk
00:30:47.260 and the same lecturer
00:30:48.200 asked how do we censor
00:30:49.160 Joe Rogan and Douglas Murray
00:30:50.320 so society needs to find
00:30:51.760 other ways to suppress them
00:30:52.580 and then in response
00:30:53.620 a civil servant
00:30:54.680 had said
00:30:55.620 and this is a quote
00:30:56.240 she had argued
00:30:57.220 that Prevent is inherently
00:30:58.220 racist because it focuses
00:30:59.380 on Islamist extremism
00:31:00.360 and then a few minutes
00:31:01.100 later when they played
00:31:02.320 an ISIS recruitment video
00:31:03.500 she pointed at the screen
00:31:04.420 and laughed and went
00:31:05.020 I know him
00:31:05.600 he went to my school
00:31:06.160 these are the people
00:31:08.840 running our government
00:31:09.400 they know literal
00:31:10.540 ISIS terrorists
00:31:11.340 they went to the same school
00:31:12.760 were her parents
00:31:13.760 related at all
00:31:15.240 we wouldn't know
00:31:17.100 I'm afraid
00:31:17.660 we wouldn't know
00:31:18.800 we wouldn't
00:31:19.380 I'm just thinking
00:31:20.300 because that seems like
00:31:21.160 a very stupid thing
00:31:22.320 to say immediately
00:31:23.160 after accusing this
00:31:24.140 of being racist
00:31:24.880 I don't
00:31:25.360 yeah
00:31:25.700 well so
00:31:26.360 basically the conclusion
00:31:27.880 of this story
00:31:28.280 is that Labour government
00:31:28.940 have now denounced
00:31:29.440 this report a second time
00:31:30.560 but again we know
00:31:31.700 this is their intention
00:31:32.400 because they commissioned
00:31:32.960 the report
00:31:33.380 everyone who's done
00:31:34.740 the report
00:31:35.140 is staying in their job
00:31:36.220 and the Home Office
00:31:37.700 Islamic Network
00:31:38.380 that actually run this country
00:31:39.460 and allow Islamist terrorists
00:31:40.520 to slip through the net
00:31:41.300 according to William Shawcross
00:31:42.300 in liaise with
00:31:43.460 actual prescribed
00:31:44.520 jihadist group
00:31:45.040 Hizbut Tahir
00:31:45.660 that Keir Starmer
00:31:46.720 represented pro bono
00:31:47.720 as a lawyer while
00:31:48.300 working as the director
00:31:49.260 of public prosecutions
00:31:50.200 yeah they're basically
00:31:51.900 just allowing terrorists
00:31:52.960 to run riot in Britain
00:31:54.140 so that's who's really
00:31:55.420 running the country
00:31:55.960 fun
00:31:56.680 right we've got
00:31:58.800 some rumble rants
00:31:59.360 apologies for being
00:32:00.820 quite silent during
00:32:01.700 that first half
00:32:02.480 of your segment
00:32:03.000 I think I started dying
00:32:04.520 yeah I know
00:32:05.620 it's very
00:32:06.220 no no not because of that
00:32:07.760 the shirt's too tight
00:32:09.000 and the collar
00:32:09.720 was choking me out
00:32:10.940 my left foot went numb
00:32:12.180 oh right
00:32:12.640 right headed
00:32:13.520 okay
00:32:14.060 understandable
00:32:14.920 my neck is now too thick
00:32:17.000 to do the buttons up
00:32:18.200 on this shirt all the way
00:32:19.240 wonderful
00:32:19.720 so we've got a couple
00:32:20.700 of rumble rants
00:32:21.300 in XCO
00:32:22.720 moderate Muslim
00:32:23.560 isn't a thing
00:32:24.120 which can be tested
00:32:26.640 quite easily
00:32:27.140 by asking a Muslim
00:32:27.860 a question
00:32:28.240 if Sharia was implemented
00:32:29.160 would you resist it
00:32:29.900 their answer is
00:32:30.420 we'll be 90%
00:32:31.360 in support of it
00:32:32.040 we actually know
00:32:33.080 I think it would be
00:32:33.560 more than 90%
00:32:34.540 because it's literally
00:32:35.280 their religious law
00:32:36.460 we actually know
00:32:37.320 that 52% of Muslims
00:32:39.420 in the UK
00:32:40.240 want drawings of the
00:32:41.460 Prophet Muhammad
00:32:41.960 to be criminalised
00:32:43.020 and that's mainly
00:32:43.700 concentrated against
00:32:44.640 among
00:32:45.640 second generation
00:32:46.860 university educated
00:32:48.500 Muslims
00:32:49.040 British born Muslims
00:32:50.120 18 to 30
00:32:51.540 so it's only gonna get worse
00:32:52.360 as Muhammad is now
00:32:53.380 the most popular
00:32:53.920 baby name in the UK
00:32:54.660 yep
00:32:56.420 apparently also
00:32:57.760 for saying that
00:32:58.580 Prevent is knocking
00:32:59.180 on his front door
00:32:59.980 so sorry about that
00:33:01.000 Bobobad
00:33:02.220 as well
00:33:02.600 $1
00:33:02.840 to add fuel to the fire
00:33:03.840 all these new agencies
00:33:04.900 being made to combat hate
00:33:05.980 are just bloat
00:33:06.680 in a way of taking
00:33:07.220 more tax money
00:33:07.840 while at best
00:33:08.360 doing nothing
00:33:08.800 to stop actual crime
00:33:09.520 and terrorism
00:33:09.880 yeah the purpose of the system
00:33:10.740 is what it does
00:33:11.160 what you need is to
00:33:11.880 repeal the Equality Act
00:33:12.800 the constitutional reform
00:33:13.640 acts and the charities act
00:33:14.520 to defund and fire
00:33:16.000 and then replace
00:33:17.160 every single civil servant
00:33:18.280 in the country
00:33:18.700 apologies in the interests
00:33:19.980 of continuing to not die
00:33:21.500 I'm just making sure
00:33:22.800 I've got circulation
00:33:23.720 I'll allow it
00:33:24.480 this shirt is far too tight
00:33:26.100 for me
00:33:26.460 I need to throw it away
00:33:27.460 you need to sign up
00:33:28.520 to the website
00:33:28.980 so Harry can buy
00:33:29.680 some new shirts
00:33:30.460 for himself
00:33:31.040 please
00:33:31.440 please
00:33:32.020 they're literally
00:33:34.100 killing me
00:33:34.780 I have some good news
00:33:37.380 everyone
00:33:37.800 Trump is doing
00:33:38.760 some good things
00:33:39.660 that he said he would do
00:33:40.700 and I'm very happy about it
00:33:42.520 so I'm going to get
00:33:43.500 right into it
00:33:44.400 so on Trump's first day
00:33:46.440 in office here
00:33:47.260 he says
00:33:47.740 our first day in the White House
00:33:49.060 is not over yet
00:33:49.800 my presidential personal office
00:33:51.220 is actively in the process
00:33:52.580 of identifying and removing
00:33:53.860 over a thousand presidential appointees
00:33:55.760 from the previous administration
00:33:57.020 who are not aligned with our vision
00:33:58.780 to make America great again
00:34:00.280 let this serve as the official notice of dismissal
00:34:03.680 for these four individuals
00:34:05.140 with many more coming soon
00:34:06.620 Jose Andres
00:34:08.720 from the Presidential Council on Sports
00:34:10.800 Fitness and Nutrition
00:34:11.920 Mark Milley
00:34:12.660 from the National Infrastructure Advisory Council
00:34:15.640 Brian Hook
00:34:16.640 from the Wilson Centre of Scholars
00:34:18.260 and Keisha Lance Bottoms
00:34:20.280 from the President's Export Council
00:34:22.560 you're fired
00:34:23.340 so Mark Milley is currently under investigation
00:34:25.440 from Pete Hegseth now
00:34:26.620 so because he took the pardon
00:34:27.780 before he'd been charged with any crime
00:34:30.160 Pete Hegseth's gone
00:34:30.900 well what crimes were you doing
00:34:32.600 so even if he can't prosecute him
00:34:33.680 he's going to lay it all out in front of him
00:34:35.100 and it's great that he's doing this
00:34:36.240 because as soon as Hegseth was appointed
00:34:38.520 it turns out that
00:34:39.860 people in his department
00:34:41.420 were already trying to do malicious compliance
00:34:42.800 which means that they carry out the laws
00:34:44.660 in such a way that gets the President bad press
00:34:46.900 so they were saying
00:34:47.740 oh you're scrapping all DEI in the military
00:34:49.220 well I guess we're not going to teach
00:34:50.960 about the Tuskegee M
00:34:52.100 and then I guess you're just a racist
00:34:53.740 so all those people that are going to do that
00:34:55.720 and try and gum up the works
00:34:57.840 need to be sacked
00:34:58.780 it looks like he's doing it
00:34:59.680 Mark Milley's finally going to learn
00:35:01.100 the meaning of white rage
00:35:02.680 it's also worth mentioning as well
00:35:04.180 just to make it even more glorious
00:35:06.140 so Trump has revoked security clearance
00:35:10.120 for John Bolton
00:35:11.040 and his security detail
00:35:12.560 as well as General Mark Milley
00:35:14.200 for both of those things
00:35:15.260 and also former Secretary of State
00:35:17.380 Mike Pompeo as well
00:35:18.760 and Anthony Fauci
00:35:19.340 yes and Fauci of course
00:35:21.040 so this is sort of revenge
00:35:23.580 because of course
00:35:24.460 preemptive pardons
00:35:26.140 might have been a mistake
00:35:27.400 it'd be like walking into a room
00:35:30.260 not expecting anything
00:35:31.300 and the other person in the room
00:35:32.720 just turn around and be like
00:35:33.560 I didn't do anything
00:35:34.240 I've not been doing anything
00:35:35.440 you go
00:35:35.760 what have you been doing
00:35:37.680 that's weird
00:35:38.860 but of course
00:35:40.320 in the case of Mark Milley
00:35:41.860 in particular
00:35:42.580 the Ayatollah
00:35:45.160 you know
00:35:46.120 the head of Iran
00:35:46.740 I'm presuming it's an Ayatollah
00:35:48.940 isn't it
00:35:49.240 I always get it around the wrong way
00:35:50.320 yeah
00:35:51.320 he's sort of out to get him
00:35:53.320 because of what he did
00:35:54.820 when he was in office
00:35:55.640 and so
00:35:56.220 there is actually
00:35:56.940 a legitimate threat against him
00:35:58.520 same with Pompeo
00:35:59.540 well Milley
00:36:00.840 as far as I understand
00:36:01.740 was liaising with
00:36:02.800 the Chinese government
00:36:03.740 what was it
00:36:05.340 during the Trump administration
00:36:06.340 under the nose of Trump
00:36:07.800 but not on his behalf
00:36:09.120 to undermine Trump's
00:36:10.700 explicit orders
00:36:11.640 well that's what they charged
00:36:12.660 Michael Flynn with
00:36:13.780 with the Logan Act
00:36:14.500 that hadn't been used before
00:36:15.720 because he was
00:36:16.320 talking to some international diplomat
00:36:18.060 during the transition stage
00:36:19.460 and so they put him in irons
00:36:21.400 and sent him away
00:36:22.100 that was a malicious prosecution
00:36:25.700 Mark Milley should have been
00:36:26.960 prosecuted for that
00:36:27.740 yes
00:36:28.160 but now he's been pardoned
00:36:29.180 for it before he's even
00:36:29.980 been properly
00:36:30.320 but he also may face demotion
00:36:32.140 in retirement as well
00:36:33.160 so that's something else
00:36:34.380 and of course
00:36:35.160 the civil servants
00:36:35.960 are not too happy
00:36:36.800 about the way
00:36:37.440 Trump is dealing with things
00:36:38.720 because they're plotting
00:36:39.740 to sabotage Trump's
00:36:40.860 working from home ban
00:36:41.820 because he said that
00:36:42.740 everyone actually needs
00:36:43.840 to come in and do work
00:36:44.840 because there are
00:36:46.120 lots of indicators
00:36:47.060 that they're not doing work
00:36:48.760 when they're working from home
00:36:49.760 which generally speaking
00:36:51.280 as someone who doesn't like
00:36:52.280 governments
00:36:53.180 I support them
00:36:54.700 not doing work
00:36:55.460 but if you want the government
00:36:57.060 to be efficient
00:36:57.640 you don't want them
00:36:58.700 going on Reddit like this
00:36:59.840 this was something
00:37:00.900 that you sent to me Connor
00:37:01.800 apparently
00:37:02.980 r slash fed news
00:37:04.880 the largest subreddit
00:37:05.820 for federal workers
00:37:06.600 seems to be most active
00:37:07.700 during working hours
00:37:08.980 and you can see here
00:37:10.700 it seems to cover
00:37:12.560 the nine to five
00:37:13.180 doesn't it
00:37:13.640 which is when they should be
00:37:15.680 doing their job
00:37:16.500 and not browsing Reddit
00:37:18.360 even though I suppose
00:37:19.280 it is related to their job
00:37:20.900 in a very tangential way
00:37:22.220 but still
00:37:22.840 so we've gone from
00:37:23.020 Reddit occupied government
00:37:24.140 to an unoccupied government
00:37:25.280 it seems like it
00:37:26.920 but it's obvious
00:37:28.800 that they're not necessarily
00:37:30.100 doing what's best
00:37:31.300 for the American people
00:37:32.100 because they're
00:37:33.200 maliciously resisting
00:37:34.740 an elected representative
00:37:36.380 as well as the fact
00:37:37.880 they're not actually
00:37:38.500 doing their job
00:37:39.100 clearly
00:37:39.660 so
00:37:41.380 there's also
00:37:43.180 this
00:37:43.900 which I thought
00:37:44.560 was hilarious
00:37:45.240 and I really liked
00:37:46.240 Trump invites nearly
00:37:47.320 all federal workers
00:37:48.380 to quit now
00:37:49.100 and get paid
00:37:49.640 through to September
00:37:50.440 he's basically
00:37:51.160 enacting the
00:37:51.620 Curtis Yarvin plan
00:37:52.580 of retiring
00:37:53.120 all government employees
00:37:53.960 yes
00:37:54.580 oh it's wonderful
00:37:55.880 so apparently
00:37:57.640 he's given employees
00:37:59.240 until the 6th of February
00:38:00.700 to accept the deal
00:38:01.800 and
00:38:02.660 this is a deferred
00:38:04.180 resignation
00:38:04.580 to nearly all
00:38:05.920 employees
00:38:06.560 with the exception
00:38:07.420 of military personnel
00:38:08.560 employees of the
00:38:09.840 US Postal Service
00:38:10.820 those in positions
00:38:11.700 related to
00:38:12.300 immigration enforcement
00:38:13.440 naturally
00:38:14.340 and national security
00:38:16.160 as well as those
00:38:17.600 in other positions
00:38:18.460 specifically excluded
00:38:19.700 by agency leadership
00:38:20.900 which I wasn't able
00:38:22.060 to find out
00:38:22.500 what they were though
00:38:23.120 this covers everything
00:38:24.060 that schedule F
00:38:24.640 doesn't already cover
00:38:25.420 yes
00:38:26.120 so there are also
00:38:27.900 some other things
00:38:28.500 I wanted to round up
00:38:29.180 before we go on
00:38:29.760 to some more specific cases
00:38:31.140 he's also placed
00:38:32.280 over 2,000
00:38:33.400 federal diversity
00:38:34.240 equity and inclusion
00:38:35.240 employees on leave
00:38:36.300 that's the main thing
00:38:38.900 I think that's great
00:38:39.760 all on its own
00:38:40.600 2,000 people
00:38:41.480 that are just
00:38:42.020 counterproductive
00:38:43.320 to the American people's
00:38:44.300 way of life
00:38:44.820 gone
00:38:45.540 and then
00:38:46.980 let's go on to this
00:38:48.500 because
00:38:48.820 do you remember
00:38:49.320 how I've said
00:38:50.000 that England
00:38:50.380 doesn't get fixed
00:38:51.220 until London
00:38:52.280 is flooded
00:38:52.920 with homeless
00:38:53.900 former civil servants
00:38:55.480 Donald Trump
00:38:56.540 must have listened
00:38:57.220 to that
00:38:57.840 this is a great idea
00:38:59.600 Washington DC
00:39:00.540 will be flooded
00:39:01.360 with homeless
00:39:02.100 government department
00:39:03.100 workers
00:39:03.580 you joke
00:39:04.600 but my friends
00:39:05.180 in the administration
00:39:06.020 agree with that
00:39:07.400 sentiment entirely
00:39:08.060 good
00:39:08.440 I'm not joking
00:39:09.980 yeah yeah
00:39:10.900 I want civil servants
00:39:12.240 to be unemployed
00:39:12.900 because
00:39:13.480 they're quite often
00:39:15.520 awful people
00:39:16.320 that are using
00:39:16.900 their position
00:39:17.520 that's meant to be
00:39:18.220 neutral
00:39:18.620 to influence
00:39:19.480 things in a way
00:39:20.560 that they're not
00:39:21.200 supposed to
00:39:21.740 and we see
00:39:23.360 the natural state
00:39:24.380 of the federal
00:39:25.360 worker in America
00:39:26.280 is a Redditor
00:39:27.400 as well
00:39:28.060 through the figures
00:39:28.700 you've just shown us
00:39:29.460 so that's even worse
00:39:30.880 my dream job
00:39:31.840 I never want to go
00:39:32.680 into frontline politics
00:39:33.560 but say everyone
00:39:34.800 that we want to win
00:39:35.700 wins
00:39:36.260 and they're handpicking
00:39:37.040 people a la
00:39:37.800 Project 2025
00:39:38.660 I would want to be
00:39:40.080 the senior civil servant
00:39:41.140 of the Home Office
00:39:41.560 just so I can fire
00:39:42.200 every single one of them
00:39:43.000 individually and in person
00:39:43.980 the glee
00:39:44.860 I would get out of
00:39:46.240 just saying
00:39:46.580 you've got 15 minutes
00:39:47.320 to pack all your stuff
00:39:48.040 otherwise we are
00:39:48.800 forcibly removing you
00:39:49.760 once they're all gone
00:39:50.940 there's only one person
00:39:52.440 left to fire
00:39:53.380 and you retire
00:39:54.380 into the night
00:39:55.840 happily
00:39:56.440 if only
00:39:59.000 so
00:39:59.760 this is titled
00:40:02.100 Trump administration
00:40:03.000 dismisses members
00:40:03.800 of all DHS advisory
00:40:05.140 panels
00:40:05.500 including the CSRB
00:40:07.080 which is the
00:40:08.680 Cyber Safety Review
00:40:09.700 Board
00:40:10.060 so
00:40:11.580 there are also
00:40:12.680 a number of people
00:40:13.400 resigning
00:40:13.980 so this is the
00:40:14.780 Department of Homeland
00:40:15.460 Security being purged
00:40:16.700 so Trump can carry out
00:40:18.060 his deportations
00:40:19.080 I imagine
00:40:19.480 because this would be
00:40:20.000 going through
00:40:20.520 the DHS
00:40:21.500 and so
00:40:22.440 this is great
00:40:23.220 it means that
00:40:23.760 no one will be
00:40:24.200 standing in the way
00:40:24.960 and it can run
00:40:25.980 like a well-oiled
00:40:26.900 machine
00:40:27.240 and hopefully
00:40:27.880 as it becomes
00:40:28.420 more and more
00:40:28.820 efficient
00:40:29.200 it means they can
00:40:30.320 send more and more
00:40:30.880 people back to
00:40:31.720 where they came from
00:40:32.400 which is wonderful
00:40:33.280 and it seems to be
00:40:34.400 already having an effect
00:40:35.600 because
00:40:36.320 let's have a look at this
00:40:37.940 Trump fires first woman
00:40:39.200 to lead US military service
00:40:40.900 which is hilarious
00:40:41.580 in and of itself
00:40:42.400 which is Admiral
00:40:43.460 Linda Fagan
00:40:44.300 the first woman
00:40:45.260 to lead
00:40:45.700 one of the six
00:40:46.640 US military services
00:40:47.680 as the head
00:40:48.220 of the Coast Guard
00:40:49.060 she was obsessed
00:40:50.440 with DEI
00:40:51.080 was yeah
00:40:51.880 and a Department
00:40:53.740 for Homeland Security
00:40:54.620 official
00:40:55.200 clearly wanting
00:40:56.040 to keep their job
00:40:56.860 said
00:40:57.400 the official statement
00:40:59.760 was
00:41:00.300 you know
00:41:00.920 we fired her
00:41:01.620 because she's not
00:41:02.100 the right fit
00:41:02.660 but they said
00:41:03.500 because of her
00:41:04.380 leadership deficiencies
00:41:05.420 operational failures
00:41:06.620 and inability to advance
00:41:07.880 the strategic objectives
00:41:09.320 of the US Coast Guard
00:41:10.560 the Admiral failed
00:41:12.040 to address border security
00:41:13.180 threats
00:41:13.480 mismanaged acquisitions
00:41:14.940 including helicopters
00:41:16.100 and put excessive focus
00:41:17.660 on diversity
00:41:18.340 equity
00:41:18.740 and inclusion programs
00:41:19.880 they're getting a raise
00:41:21.000 whoever said that
00:41:21.680 the atmosphere in DC
00:41:22.840 now basically just matches
00:41:23.900 that on
00:41:24.280 unparalleled confidence
00:41:25.380 it's just jubilant
00:41:26.620 it's doing a victory lap
00:41:28.720 there's like a third
00:41:29.400 of the people I saw
00:41:30.080 walking the streets
00:41:30.740 are in MAGA hats
00:41:31.520 they're just open
00:41:32.200 carrying now
00:41:32.900 this is
00:41:33.420 they're in the ascendancy
00:41:35.160 it's MAGA country
00:41:36.260 you might say
00:41:36.720 genuinely yes
00:41:37.680 they're open carrying
00:41:38.540 their hats
00:41:39.100 my goodness
00:41:39.800 it's great
00:41:40.520 if only
00:41:42.760 got an extra hat
00:41:43.520 holstered
00:41:44.180 got a nice ankle hat
00:41:46.040 here just in case
00:41:47.040 it's nice to sit
00:41:47.680 on the crawl kids
00:41:48.200 MAGA socks
00:41:48.820 there you go
00:41:49.720 so another one here
00:41:51.500 he suspended a dozen
00:41:55.100 top officials
00:41:55.700 for blocking his
00:41:56.460 freeze on foreign aid
00:41:57.360 that's 57 top staff
00:41:58.920 in the agency
00:42:00.900 for international
00:42:01.600 development
00:42:02.080 and now on leave
00:42:03.020 did you hear what
00:42:03.480 they were spending this on
00:42:04.160 at the press conference
00:42:05.540 yesterday
00:42:05.840 they found out
00:42:07.360 that for example
00:42:07.860 50 million dollars a year
00:42:09.180 was being spent on
00:42:09.900 condoms in Gaza
00:42:10.620 I'm willing to
00:42:13.460 hear them out
00:42:13.900 I prefer the Israeli
00:42:15.560 strategy on these things
00:42:16.280 I'm not elaborate
00:42:17.780 so you give loads
00:42:19.280 and loads of money
00:42:20.020 to Israel
00:42:20.680 and then you also
00:42:22.000 give loads and loads
00:42:22.860 of money to Gaza
00:42:24.320 I'm playing both sides
00:42:26.380 I suppose so
00:42:28.180 I mean I suppose
00:42:28.860 the result is the same
00:42:30.200 I feel like that kind
00:42:31.640 of protection is not
00:42:32.340 the kind the people
00:42:33.080 of Gaza need
00:42:33.860 to be honest
00:42:34.400 but there we go
00:42:35.300 I guess so
00:42:37.360 that's a bit of Kevlar
00:42:38.660 yeah
00:42:39.120 use it again I suppose
00:42:41.460 recycling
00:42:42.060 green
00:42:43.460 that's yeah
00:42:44.200 Allah Akbar is
00:42:44.900 recycling in Arabic
00:42:45.860 isn't it
00:42:46.180 yes that's right
00:42:48.320 but there's also this
00:42:50.220 Trump has fired
00:42:51.260 an Iran hawk
00:42:52.280 called Hook
00:42:53.000 difficult to say
00:42:55.200 that sentence
00:42:55.740 very quickly
00:42:56.240 Brian Hook
00:42:56.980 was the Iran envoy
00:42:58.360 in Trump's first term
00:42:59.520 this is sort of
00:43:00.600 signalling that he's
00:43:01.220 learnt some lessons
00:43:01.840 because of course
00:43:02.580 Pompeo
00:43:03.920 of course was his
00:43:05.480 secretary
00:43:05.880 at one point
00:43:07.000 and here he's
00:43:08.520 getting rid of
00:43:09.420 another person
00:43:10.200 who he feels like
00:43:11.020 isn't up to scratch
00:43:11.800 the second time round
00:43:12.840 so I think
00:43:13.660 having some
00:43:14.680 insight
00:43:15.260 because obviously
00:43:16.040 Douglas went to
00:43:16.960 Mar-a-Lago on
00:43:17.660 election night
00:43:18.180 and spoke with
00:43:18.520 Trump for quite a
00:43:19.120 while and he's
00:43:19.540 always been very
00:43:20.300 hawkish on Iran
00:43:20.960 he's worked for
00:43:21.380 the Henry Jackson
00:43:21.760 Society
00:43:22.180 he's spent a lot
00:43:22.600 of time in Israel
00:43:23.060 and I'm working
00:43:24.960 quite closely with
00:43:25.600 Ayan Hirsi Ali
00:43:26.200 on the global
00:43:27.120 influence of the
00:43:27.580 Muslim Brotherhood
00:43:28.160 what I think is
00:43:29.260 happening is that
00:43:30.120 the Trump
00:43:30.400 administration are
00:43:30.960 very watchful
00:43:31.780 for Islamist
00:43:32.440 infiltration into
00:43:33.400 America
00:43:33.840 and laundering
00:43:35.500 ideas through
00:43:37.020 NGOs that are
00:43:37.980 funded by the
00:43:38.560 likes of Qatar
00:43:39.260 Iran
00:43:39.860 Muslim Brotherhood
00:43:40.880 but they don't
00:43:42.320 want to roll
00:43:42.860 tanks into
00:43:43.640 Tehran
00:43:44.240 as John Bolton
00:43:45.300 once said
00:43:45.620 because they
00:43:45.840 realise that
00:43:46.240 the forever wars
00:43:46.960 are a fruitless
00:43:47.400 endeavour
00:43:47.720 instead if you
00:43:48.420 just cut off
00:43:48.900 the funding
00:43:49.260 pipeline
00:43:49.700 stop funding
00:43:50.640 your enemies
00:43:51.100 then you won't
00:43:51.880 have this global
00:43:52.580 terror network
00:43:53.300 and if you
00:43:54.140 encourage the
00:43:54.720 members of the
00:43:55.120 Abraham Accords
00:43:55.800 like the UAE
00:43:56.780 and Saudi Arabia
00:43:57.760 who have already
00:43:58.380 banned the Muslim
00:43:59.020 Brotherhood because
00:43:59.580 they're not insane
00:44:00.300 to police the region
00:44:01.360 you actually get
00:44:02.220 the same effect
00:44:03.400 of containing the
00:44:04.200 terror threat
00:44:04.600 without having to
00:44:05.100 waste American
00:44:05.560 blood and treasure
00:44:06.060 yeah because
00:44:07.340 you look at
00:44:08.300 the history of
00:44:09.320 any Islamic
00:44:10.220 group
00:44:10.780 that commits
00:44:11.500 terror
00:44:11.820 and you find
00:44:12.900 oh wait
00:44:13.400 they were funded
00:44:14.080 by the US
00:44:14.520 at some point
00:44:15.140 almost every time
00:44:16.900 so yes
00:44:17.820 also the Soviet
00:44:18.540 Union for a time
00:44:19.720 was basically
00:44:20.740 funded by the US
00:44:21.920 even during
00:44:23.040 parts of the
00:44:23.600 Cold War
00:44:24.140 so you look
00:44:24.760 and you go
00:44:25.100 maybe America
00:44:25.780 after a hundred
00:44:26.520 years is finally
00:44:27.360 learning that's
00:44:28.040 not the best
00:44:28.600 idea
00:44:29.040 funny enough
00:44:30.160 spending your
00:44:30.700 money at home
00:44:31.360 is often better
00:44:32.160 than giving it
00:44:32.760 to your enemies
00:44:33.520 who'd have thought
00:44:34.380 but there we go
00:44:35.140 and here's another
00:44:36.800 one as well
00:44:37.180 I thought this was
00:44:37.820 quite funny
00:44:38.420 as a headline
00:44:39.000 Trump fires
00:44:39.600 two democratic
00:44:40.300 commissioners
00:44:40.900 of agencies
00:44:41.820 that enforce
00:44:42.400 civil rights
00:44:43.140 laws in the
00:44:43.640 workplace
00:44:44.140 affirmative action
00:44:44.880 yes
00:44:45.680 it isn't like
00:44:47.420 he's gonna
00:44:48.020 say okay
00:44:49.240 you know
00:44:49.780 1964 laws
00:44:51.300 are repealed
00:44:52.260 back to the
00:44:53.780 fields
00:44:54.040 that's not
00:44:54.560 what's going
00:44:54.900 on here
00:44:55.360 so I'm gonna
00:44:56.760 read here
00:44:57.340 the two commissioners
00:44:58.220 of the Equal
00:44:59.020 Employment
00:44:59.680 Opportunity
00:45:00.360 Commission
00:45:00.720 so you're
00:45:01.160 already starting
00:45:01.780 to hear
00:45:02.240 what they're
00:45:02.940 actually doing
00:45:03.620 it's like
00:45:04.380 DEI under
00:45:05.700 another name
00:45:06.220 anti-white
00:45:06.700 racism
00:45:06.980 yeah
00:45:07.480 Charlotte Burroughs
00:45:08.720 and Jocelyn
00:45:09.340 Samuels
00:45:09.880 confirmed in a
00:45:10.520 statement on
00:45:11.180 Tuesday that
00:45:12.020 they were
00:45:12.400 fired late
00:45:13.400 on Monday
00:45:13.920 night
00:45:14.200 I'm correcting
00:45:14.780 that because
00:45:15.200 it says late
00:45:15.780 Monday which
00:45:16.560 is grammatically
00:45:17.100 incorrect
00:45:17.620 please correct
00:45:18.440 that America
00:45:18.940 both said
00:45:20.380 they were
00:45:20.740 exploring options
00:45:21.580 to challenge
00:45:22.140 their dismissals
00:45:22.960 calling their
00:45:23.440 removal before
00:45:24.060 the expiration
00:45:24.720 of their
00:45:25.100 five-year
00:45:25.520 terms
00:45:25.900 an unprecedented
00:45:26.760 decision
00:45:27.420 that undermines
00:45:28.260 agencies
00:45:28.840 independence
00:45:29.380 and we're
00:45:30.020 seeing this
00:45:30.360 a lot
00:45:30.740 whereby
00:45:31.180 the people
00:45:32.580 who have
00:45:32.900 been fired
00:45:33.440 are like
00:45:33.880 you can't
00:45:34.440 do that
00:45:34.740 that's bad
00:45:35.260 that's illegal
00:45:35.980 we already
00:45:36.900 set the
00:45:37.480 institutions
00:45:38.320 on rails
00:45:39.200 that go
00:45:39.600 towards one
00:45:40.160 progressive
00:45:40.520 direction
00:45:40.980 and if you
00:45:41.460 want to
00:45:41.700 derail that
00:45:42.200 train
00:45:42.520 well that's
00:45:43.180 divisive
00:45:43.640 and political
00:45:44.160 no you've
00:45:44.820 already got
00:45:45.080 a political
00:45:45.340 agenda
00:45:45.680 baked into
00:45:46.200 the institution
00:45:46.680 this isn't
00:45:47.360 what democracy
00:45:47.960 is about
00:45:48.460 democracy
00:45:48.860 isn't about
00:45:49.420 the person
00:45:50.020 who gets
00:45:50.400 voted in
00:45:50.940 doing what
00:45:51.320 he said
00:45:51.580 he would
00:45:51.860 it's about
00:45:52.240 me
00:45:52.600 an unaccountable
00:45:53.700 bureaucrat
00:45:54.560 exactly
00:45:55.160 and the
00:45:56.100 funny thing
00:45:56.460 is the
00:45:57.920 you know
00:45:58.520 the president
00:45:59.500 is the
00:46:00.120 chief executive
00:46:00.900 right
00:46:01.220 they are the
00:46:01.960 boss of the
00:46:02.420 executive
00:46:02.900 department
00:46:03.260 and therefore
00:46:03.840 they should
00:46:04.220 be able to
00:46:04.600 employ and
00:46:05.100 hire whoever
00:46:06.000 they want
00:46:06.540 because that
00:46:07.860 is that
00:46:08.240 they're working
00:46:09.020 for trump
00:46:09.740 not the other
00:46:10.240 way around
00:46:10.700 and so
00:46:11.440 they're his
00:46:11.980 to fire
00:46:12.400 really
00:46:12.800 we used to
00:46:13.260 have that
00:46:13.480 in this
00:46:13.700 country
00:46:13.960 until the
00:46:14.300 2010
00:46:14.560 constitutional
00:46:15.100 reform
00:46:15.500 act
00:46:15.740 repeal
00:46:16.260 please
00:46:16.640 so this
00:46:18.160 is another
00:46:18.560 one of my
00:46:19.000 favourites
00:46:19.460 as well
00:46:20.220 because it
00:46:21.180 sounds so
00:46:21.680 insidious
00:46:22.060 trump fires
00:46:22.800 17 government
00:46:23.620 watchdogs
00:46:24.120 in the middle
00:46:24.580 of the night
00:46:25.100 ooh
00:46:25.640 scary
00:46:26.180 why not
00:46:26.600 18
00:46:26.860 why not
00:46:27.160 19
00:46:27.440 keep going
00:46:27.980 yeah
00:46:28.380 but a key
00:46:29.200 one remains
00:46:29.780 in his
00:46:30.060 post
00:46:30.440 this is such a
00:46:31.720 clickbait
00:46:32.060 title by the way
00:46:32.760 I thought it was
00:46:33.060 amusing
00:46:33.400 the subtitle is
00:46:34.240 trump is
00:46:34.600 dismantling
00:46:35.080 checks on
00:46:35.480 his power
00:46:36.060 and paving
00:46:36.540 the way
00:46:36.920 for widespread
00:46:37.360 corruption
00:46:37.800 says
00:46:38.440 elizabeth
00:46:39.000 warren
00:46:39.500 thank you
00:46:40.560 liar
00:46:40.800 wather
00:46:41.100 yeah
00:46:41.940 pocahontas
00:46:42.740 herself
00:46:43.140 speaks
00:46:43.560 so the
00:46:45.260 so the
00:46:45.280 only person
00:46:45.900 that was
00:46:46.520 left
00:46:46.840 was
00:46:47.440 justice
00:46:48.960 department
00:46:49.400 inspector
00:46:49.840 general
00:46:50.180 michael
00:46:50.520 horowitz
00:46:50.980 for whatever
00:46:51.380 reason
00:46:51.740 and one
00:46:53.120 of the
00:46:53.320 fired
00:46:53.500 officials
00:46:53.760 told the
00:46:54.180 post
00:46:54.460 it's a
00:46:55.040 widespread
00:46:55.380 massacre
00:46:55.900 whoever trump
00:46:56.480 puts in now
00:46:57.040 will be viewed
00:46:57.480 as loyalists
00:46:58.160 and that
00:46:58.700 undermines the
00:46:59.360 entire system
00:47:00.080 which i find
00:47:00.840 hilarious
00:47:01.220 because surely
00:47:02.640 you undermine
00:47:03.280 the entire
00:47:03.760 system by
00:47:04.620 not being
00:47:05.780 aligned to
00:47:06.240 the person
00:47:06.580 at the top
00:47:06.940 of it
00:47:07.220 well this
00:47:08.620 was always
00:47:09.260 the way
00:47:09.720 it's just
00:47:10.380 that there
00:47:11.500 were no
00:47:12.100 let's say
00:47:13.200 national populist
00:47:14.520 friendly press
00:47:15.440 outlets
00:47:15.960 championing the
00:47:17.040 fact that they
00:47:17.460 were staffing
00:47:17.960 institutions full
00:47:18.700 of their people
00:47:19.220 and they got
00:47:19.840 complacent before
00:47:20.520 and presumed
00:47:21.280 that all these
00:47:21.620 institutions were
00:47:22.160 neutral and
00:47:22.640 instead they
00:47:23.100 constantly gummed
00:47:24.140 up the works
00:47:24.720 but when they
00:47:26.020 were doing it
00:47:26.520 they just didn't
00:47:27.180 say anything
00:47:27.500 about it
00:47:27.880 and they had
00:47:28.460 no one screaming
00:47:29.180 hang on a minute
00:47:29.740 it's full of
00:47:30.320 their guys
00:47:30.780 it's full of
00:47:31.200 their loyalists
00:47:31.740 why are they
00:47:32.560 politicizing the
00:47:33.540 institution
00:47:33.860 well now we're
00:47:34.680 just being
00:47:35.120 honest
00:47:35.720 it's like yeah
00:47:36.120 we want to
00:47:36.780 hire people
00:47:37.200 that are going
00:47:37.520 to carry out
00:47:37.840 the president's
00:47:38.240 agenda
00:47:38.460 it's how it's
00:47:39.980 always been
00:47:40.360 we want to
00:47:41.260 get rid of
00:47:41.460 your guys
00:47:41.760 and put our
00:47:42.080 guys in
00:47:42.400 welcome to
00:47:43.120 politics
00:47:43.440 that's
00:47:44.620 politics 101
00:47:45.580 actually
00:47:46.040 so this has
00:47:47.940 been met
00:47:48.840 with mixed
00:47:49.220 reactions
00:47:49.600 some of the
00:47:50.100 senate republicans
00:47:50.860 have defended
00:47:51.460 trump firing
00:47:52.460 these peoples
00:47:53.020 here's tom
00:47:53.920 cotton saying
00:47:54.480 ultimately these
00:47:55.180 inspector generals
00:47:55.880 serve at the
00:47:57.000 pleasure of the
00:47:57.540 president
00:47:57.860 he wants new
00:47:58.660 people in there
00:47:59.260 he wants people
00:47:59.960 focused on getting
00:48:00.660 out waste and
00:48:01.440 fraud and abuse
00:48:02.260 and reforming
00:48:02.880 these agencies
00:48:03.420 he has a right
00:48:04.440 to get in
00:48:04.980 who he wants
00:48:05.780 everyone who
00:48:06.480 hasn't defended
00:48:07.160 them needs to
00:48:07.700 be primaried
00:48:08.160 yes and
00:48:09.840 here we've got
00:48:11.260 obviously left
00:48:12.240 wing outlets
00:48:12.760 sort of picking
00:48:13.540 up on some of
00:48:14.280 the republicans
00:48:15.260 that are a bit
00:48:15.620 upset about this
00:48:16.380 so iowa republican
00:48:17.680 senator chuck
00:48:18.380 grassley
00:48:19.020 91 by the way
00:48:20.460 ancient
00:48:21.060 a staunch
00:48:22.880 trump ally
00:48:23.420 they say
00:48:23.980 said in a
00:48:24.940 statement obtained
00:48:25.540 by cnn
00:48:26.100 that congress
00:48:27.040 wasn't notified
00:48:27.740 in advance of
00:48:28.440 the firings
00:48:29.020 in adherence
00:48:29.680 to the law
00:48:30.240 and this is a
00:48:31.440 quote
00:48:31.700 there may be a
00:48:32.440 good reason
00:48:32.900 the igs were
00:48:33.940 fired
00:48:34.360 grassley
00:48:34.900 noted on
00:48:35.360 saturday
00:48:35.820 we need to
00:48:36.420 know that
00:48:37.520 if so
00:48:38.040 i'd like a
00:48:38.680 further explanation
00:48:39.460 from president
00:48:40.000 trump
00:48:40.260 regardless the
00:48:40.960 30-day detailed
00:48:41.820 notice of
00:48:42.400 removal that
00:48:42.960 law demands
00:48:43.580 was not
00:48:43.980 provided to
00:48:44.500 congress
00:48:44.820 so it's
00:48:45.400 more of a
00:48:45.780 procedural
00:48:46.340 objection that
00:48:47.420 he has more
00:48:47.980 than anything
00:48:48.340 else
00:48:48.760 which i can
00:48:50.360 understand but
00:48:51.200 also
00:48:51.660 don't be
00:48:52.080 allergic to
00:48:52.560 winning
00:48:52.780 yeah
00:48:53.360 you ask for
00:48:54.260 forgiveness
00:48:54.740 not for
00:48:55.320 permission
00:48:55.680 this is
00:48:56.360 essentially
00:48:56.780 this is
00:48:58.540 essentially
00:49:00.700 the same
00:49:01.820 tactic that
00:49:02.380 blair took
00:49:03.120 in revolutionizing
00:49:04.740 how britain is
00:49:05.920 governed by
00:49:06.440 basically doing
00:49:07.420 things and then
00:49:08.580 announcing after
00:49:09.240 he'd already done
00:49:09.860 them that he
00:49:10.360 did that's what
00:49:11.580 he did and
00:49:12.520 too late it's
00:49:13.240 done now you
00:49:13.920 can't do anything
00:49:14.520 about it
00:49:15.060 people don't
00:49:15.580 drum up as much
00:49:16.260 of a fuss once
00:49:17.040 you've already done
00:49:17.660 it because they
00:49:18.120 can't stop it
00:49:19.280 a lot of the
00:49:19.900 reason there's a
00:49:20.440 lot of fuss
00:49:20.920 drummed up in
00:49:21.400 the media is
00:49:22.000 because it
00:49:22.880 could help
00:49:23.260 prevent something
00:49:23.880 happening but
00:49:24.420 if it's already
00:49:24.860 happened too bad
00:49:26.160 if it's also
00:49:26.680 happening all at
00:49:27.180 once you just
00:49:27.580 overwhelm them
00:49:28.180 like they can't
00:49:29.120 they can only
00:49:29.460 manufacture so
00:49:30.180 many headlines
00:49:30.700 about the
00:49:31.060 executive orders
00:49:31.640 that you've
00:49:31.880 already got
00:49:32.120 pre-printed and
00:49:32.760 going out the
00:49:33.240 door and then
00:49:33.880 it just becomes
00:49:34.340 ordinary if you
00:49:35.100 just do all
00:49:35.420 wasn't this a
00:49:36.000 Machiavelli tactic
00:49:36.860 yes well yeah
00:49:38.020 and also right
00:49:39.300 now as well
00:49:39.940 there's only so
00:49:41.000 much sympathy that
00:49:41.980 you can generate
00:49:42.680 for faceless
00:49:43.320 bureaucrats
00:49:43.980 i don't think
00:49:44.920 there's much
00:49:45.360 sympathy is there
00:49:46.020 exactly
00:49:46.320 it's also worth
00:49:47.340 mentioning as well
00:49:48.060 just as a bit
00:49:48.780 of an aside
00:49:49.360 trump has been
00:49:50.040 doing so much
00:49:50.960 that it's making
00:49:51.840 our job as
00:49:52.440 political commentators
00:49:53.280 so difficult to
00:49:54.320 keep up with
00:49:54.900 what's going on
00:49:55.640 just banned all
00:49:56.480 gender surgeries
00:49:57.380 and chemical
00:49:58.480 castration drugs
00:49:59.360 for children
00:49:59.840 yesterday it's
00:50:00.500 like i mean i'll
00:50:01.940 say i i was
00:50:02.720 skeptical that he
00:50:03.760 was actually going
00:50:04.400 to do anything
00:50:04.980 that he said but
00:50:06.060 he's he's actually
00:50:07.440 it's great doing
00:50:08.360 things because the
00:50:09.080 people around him
00:50:09.800 are very motivated
00:50:10.880 but never in my
00:50:12.360 uh almost four and
00:50:13.600 a half years at
00:50:14.300 lotus eaters have
00:50:15.360 i had to struggle
00:50:16.840 to keep up with
00:50:18.080 the goings-on of
00:50:19.100 politics and trump
00:50:20.100 is making me do
00:50:20.700 that so well done
00:50:21.420 um it's making me
00:50:22.840 up my game all
00:50:23.620 right so good on
00:50:24.720 you trump that's
00:50:25.200 just another thing
00:50:25.820 you're doing right
00:50:26.400 so um here's
00:50:29.060 another one here
00:50:29.720 um there she
00:50:31.400 is glad she's
00:50:33.160 gone i mean it's
00:50:34.020 another labor board
00:50:34.800 official the same
00:50:35.600 sort of thing right
00:50:36.360 and it's like an
00:50:37.840 ai photo is that
00:50:39.560 weird looking
00:50:40.160 what was what was
00:50:41.860 the laugh there
00:50:42.540 connor is there
00:50:43.200 something strange
00:50:43.980 about this yeah
00:50:44.560 she looks like she
00:50:45.180 looks like ros from
00:50:45.780 monsters inc
00:50:46.380 yeah i see it
00:50:49.880 another lady has
00:50:51.820 been fired as well
00:50:52.640 um there we go
00:50:54.980 the longhouse is
00:50:56.240 being dismantled
00:50:57.120 it is indeed
00:50:57.640 splinter by splinter
00:50:58.620 so uh she's
00:51:02.160 another person she
00:51:03.060 was the national
00:51:03.860 labor relations
00:51:04.660 board's uh leading
00:51:06.160 attorney so a
00:51:07.460 communist yes
00:51:08.420 almost said
00:51:09.160 shorthand for
00:51:09.520 communists yeah
00:51:10.300 because that all of
00:51:11.840 the media have been
00:51:12.440 coming out and
00:51:12.900 saying like well
00:51:13.980 workers rights are
00:51:15.080 no longer protected
00:51:16.100 it's like well
00:51:17.060 really you're gonna
00:51:18.460 make it possible for
00:51:19.200 for people to fire
00:51:20.020 people thereby
00:51:20.700 attracting business
00:51:21.440 into the country to
00:51:22.280 bail you out of your
00:51:23.060 inflation and debt
00:51:23.760 spiral great good
00:51:24.820 also which we saw
00:51:26.540 the bloomberg report
00:51:27.680 from a few years ago
00:51:28.700 which workers are
00:51:29.640 you defending whose
00:51:30.500 rights are you
00:51:31.160 actually sticking up
00:51:32.040 for because it's not
00:51:32.680 the americans rights
00:51:33.740 no certainly not
00:51:34.580 because they're
00:51:34.920 importing loads of
00:51:35.740 people to replace
00:51:36.400 them aren't they
00:51:37.100 you'd think that'd be
00:51:38.420 number one concern
00:51:39.300 this one was
00:51:40.480 particularly sweet
00:51:41.240 trump justice
00:51:41.900 department says it
00:51:42.840 has fired employees
00:51:43.680 involved in prosecution
00:51:44.600 of the president
00:51:45.400 this is trump's
00:51:46.400 revenge it is very
00:51:47.780 sweet and justified
00:51:48.940 so a doj official
00:51:51.780 said in the light of
00:51:52.620 their actions the
00:51:53.300 acting attorney general
00:51:54.220 does not trust these
00:51:55.140 officials to assist in
00:51:56.620 faithfully implementing
00:51:57.520 the president's agenda
00:51:58.460 this action is
00:51:59.840 consistent with the
00:52:00.540 mission of ending the
00:52:01.380 weaponization of
00:52:02.180 government which is
00:52:03.340 you know note for
00:52:03.880 note perfect what they
00:52:04.720 should have said i think
00:52:05.520 yeah well pam bondi is
00:52:06.620 very competent because
00:52:07.340 she ran the america
00:52:08.000 first policy institute
00:52:09.040 throughout the entire
00:52:10.060 campaign so she was
00:52:11.180 involved in setting up
00:52:13.460 some of the executive
00:52:14.240 orders that trump has
00:52:14.940 been signing so she's
00:52:16.140 a loyalist she knows
00:52:17.140 how government works
00:52:17.960 and clearly she's
00:52:18.660 getting on with it
00:52:19.140 and then the final
00:52:20.300 one i wanted to
00:52:20.840 point out was that
00:52:22.280 he's also ousted a
00:52:25.300 tsa administrator i'm
00:52:26.980 glad my experience with
00:52:28.060 american airports just
00:52:29.000 means that i i'm so
00:52:30.460 frustrated i'm i hope
00:52:31.880 he loses his pension
00:52:32.580 so the tsa administrator
00:52:34.900 david pikowski i think
00:52:36.960 was first nominated in
00:52:38.200 2017 and kept on by
00:52:40.100 biden so it's another
00:52:41.000 one of trump's original
00:52:42.340 hires and then we don't
00:52:44.500 know why he was removed
00:52:46.080 um but some of the
00:52:48.040 things he did while in
00:52:49.280 office uh he was
00:52:50.800 planning to roll out a
00:52:51.500 program called a one-stop
00:52:52.820 security that would
00:52:53.780 remove additional
00:52:54.440 security screenings for
00:52:55.460 travelers flying from
00:52:56.820 certain destinations back
00:52:58.340 to the u.s right so
00:53:00.020 this is one of the guys
00:53:01.380 who has been lobbied by
00:53:03.080 various community
00:53:04.060 interest groups to say
00:53:05.440 tsa airport security
00:53:06.880 checks are racist if
00:53:07.860 you're coming from the
00:53:08.420 muslim world therefore
00:53:09.160 remove them that's sort
00:53:10.360 of what i gathered from
00:53:11.280 that yes and then the
00:53:13.000 agency had also started
00:53:14.160 expanding its use of
00:53:15.180 facial recognition
00:53:16.000 technology at airports
00:53:17.260 um which obviously is a
00:53:20.860 bit dystopian although
00:53:22.060 you can understand why
00:53:23.740 it might be used i mean
00:53:24.760 we've got that over here
00:53:25.840 and who did it just pick
00:53:26.760 up the other day
00:53:27.520 alan yeah yeah not
00:53:30.820 axel rudikabana no not
00:53:32.400 axel rudikabana not a
00:53:33.420 man who literally looked
00:53:34.760 like a psychopath no no
00:53:36.860 tiny hobbit callum who
00:53:39.180 couldn't even hurt a fly if
00:53:40.500 he tried i've seen it
00:53:41.800 unless it was in a cake
00:53:42.740 well no i hope you if
00:53:45.460 you're watching this
00:53:45.960 callum i hope you're
00:53:46.560 doing yeah we hope that
00:53:47.260 you're all right sorry to
00:53:48.140 hear about what happened
00:53:48.840 to you mate um so what
00:53:51.780 else do we think is going
00:53:53.080 to happen and also what
00:53:54.060 would you like to see
00:53:54.920 happen obviously i'm going
00:53:56.360 to say end the fed um as
00:53:58.100 a matter of course so i am
00:54:00.700 hoping that he will reject
00:54:02.020 peter mandelson as the u.s
00:54:03.780 ambassador because the
00:54:04.800 only reason they're putting
00:54:05.400 mandelson as an ambassador
00:54:06.500 is because he wants
00:54:07.280 diplomatic immunity
00:54:08.120 because they're about to
00:54:09.180 release some files that
00:54:11.620 might be particularly
00:54:12.860 damaging for his
00:54:13.600 reputation i've heard
00:54:14.000 some rumors about what
00:54:15.400 he's been up to i can't
00:54:16.860 say things i cannot say
00:54:18.840 things uh also probably
00:54:20.680 not sitting very
00:54:21.460 comfortably in his chair
00:54:22.760 at the minute let's just
00:54:23.500 say that no no unless
00:54:25.680 it's a very comfy chair on
00:54:26.840 a on a certain passenger
00:54:27.740 jet anyway point being um
00:54:29.500 i also hope that the
00:54:30.480 trump administration i've
00:54:31.280 heard rumblings from
00:54:33.060 friends out in dc are going
00:54:34.800 to use their position as
00:54:36.900 dominant hegemon for the
00:54:38.480 time being of the west
00:54:39.860 to ensure that we in
00:54:42.260 woke north korea have an
00:54:43.100 easier ride of it because
00:54:44.660 please do thank you they
00:54:46.020 are looking at england like
00:54:47.280 the motherland has been
00:54:47.960 lost and so they are
00:54:49.300 drawing equivalences between
00:54:51.060 persecution of
00:54:52.380 dissidents in iran like
00:54:53.400 the eastern roman empire
00:54:54.960 coming back to reconquer
00:54:56.160 rome yeah basically yeah
00:54:58.380 it's going to be quite good
00:54:59.340 so they're looking at
00:55:00.640 people being locked up
00:55:01.300 for social media posts and
00:55:02.280 going dear god you're a
00:55:03.520 soviet satellite state what
00:55:04.900 can we do to break into
00:55:06.360 that i mean i remember jd
00:55:07.200 vant saying we're going to
00:55:08.100 use nato membership to
00:55:09.000 ensure that the european
00:55:10.140 union doesn't crack down on
00:55:11.080 free speech on twitter
00:55:11.780 highly possible they do
00:55:13.920 something similar for the
00:55:15.280 uk these do what do you
00:55:17.180 think harry what would you
00:55:18.060 like to see um
00:55:19.620 uh hmm trying to think what
00:55:22.880 will get me not put on a
00:55:24.400 terrorist watch list you
00:55:26.140 can say removing certain
00:55:27.420 government departments that's
00:55:28.420 fine ending the fed gold
00:55:30.160 standard uh yeah well
00:55:31.120 yeah ending the fed would
00:55:31.920 be good removal of about
00:55:32.900 95 percent of all
00:55:34.760 government not just in
00:55:36.860 america but in britain and
00:55:38.560 the rest of the west as
00:55:39.500 well uh i don't know if
00:55:41.500 trump has the power to do
00:55:42.540 that quite yet uh but that
00:55:44.460 would be more expansive than
00:55:45.180 me that would be nice
00:55:46.300 export doge to the uk oh
00:55:48.220 burning the muslim
00:55:48.800 brotherhood as well that's
00:55:49.600 also something that's
00:55:50.300 going to really like to
00:55:51.060 see that of us yeah that
00:55:52.980 would do the world a favor
00:55:54.040 so yes i have good news and
00:55:56.260 i imagine there's lots more
00:55:57.420 to come as the trump
00:55:58.760 administration marches on
00:56:00.120 and it's all looking good
00:56:01.640 all very positive speaking

00:56:12.180 federal charges but not
00:56:13.280 charges brought by the ucmj
00:56:16.420 merely violated several
00:56:17.480 statutes of it and can be
00:56:18.900 charged for them that that's
00:56:20.200 outside of my knowledge but

00:57:05.860 bald eagle 1787
00:57:07.280 it's a gig those few
00:57:09.180 times the u.s gave aid to
00:57:10.260 the ussr was when they
00:57:11.100 were suffering a famine
00:57:11.880 due to crop failure due to
00:57:13.160 weird weather those years
00:57:14.020 the u.s did it to avoid
00:57:14.880 the ussr launching an
00:57:16.140 invasion for food they
00:57:17.920 also sent a lot more
00:57:19.180 support to the ussr
00:57:20.580 following that even in
00:57:21.580 the 20s when they had a
00:57:22.940 lot of republican
00:57:23.600 government uh presidents
00:57:24.980 uh going through they
00:57:26.660 were sending over
00:57:27.700 resources they basically
00:57:29.220 helped build up the ussr
00:57:30.760 into an industrial
00:57:31.560 manufacturing superpower
00:57:32.820 and coolidge um i think
00:57:35.580 it would have been under
00:57:36.340 under coolidge it might
00:57:37.960 have been well hoover was
00:57:39.160 also right before fdr they
00:57:40.920 sent over american
00:57:42.460 specialists to basically
00:57:43.720 show the ussr how
00:57:44.960 everything worked and
00:57:46.920 then under fdr the new
00:57:49.560 deal actually opened up
00:57:50.720 loads of positions for
00:57:51.860 soviet spies big
00:57:53.780 surprise the guy who
00:57:55.080 was assisted by soviet
00:57:57.060 spies opened up the
00:57:58.800 government for
00:57:59.300 infiltration by soviet
00:58:00.440 spies a lot of that
00:58:02.020 information can be found
00:58:02.940 in sean mcmeekin's
00:58:03.960 stalin's war so i can't
00:58:05.500 remember all of the
00:58:06.240 essential details off the
00:58:08.040 top of my head but
00:58:08.740 that's the uh broad and
00:58:10.120 short of it and in the
00:58:11.440 cold war period again
00:58:13.440 can't remember the exact
00:58:14.600 details but i know they
00:58:15.520 were still basically
00:58:16.360 sending over international
00:58:17.560 support to the ussr and
00:58:19.200 i'm pretty certain a lot
00:58:20.080 of that information is in
00:58:21.260 adam curtis's bbc
00:58:22.680 documentaries on us ussr
00:58:25.520 relations i've seen
00:58:27.220 those yeah very good
00:58:28.740 very very very good
00:58:30.020 stuff so sadly yeah the
00:58:31.640 us government was
00:58:32.620 basically aiding their
00:58:33.560 major enemies for a
00:58:34.900 very long time which
00:58:35.980 still happens today up
00:58:38.060 until recently uh sigil
00:58:40.080 stone 17 i'd love to
00:58:41.400 watch a video of trump
00:58:42.180 walking through a
00:58:42.860 federal office building
00:58:43.640 yelling afuera while
00:58:44.900 throwing pink slips at
00:58:45.740 people or a t-shirt
00:58:46.780 cannon loaded with pink
00:58:47.540 slips and hunting people
00:58:48.240 down i have a suggestion
00:58:49.380 executive order um no
00:58:51.780 flags other than the
00:58:53.180 american can be flown
00:58:54.240 inside federal buildings
00:58:55.840 because aoc has a
00:58:57.320 progress pride flag
00:58:58.440 outside of her
00:58:59.680 congressional office i've
00:59:00.600 been there it's awful
00:59:01.380 it's smothered in post-it
00:59:02.640 notes as well from
00:59:03.740 loving adoring social
00:59:04.660 supporters because she's
00:59:05.480 a demented ethno
00:59:06.280 narcissist i think trump
00:59:07.860 should just tear that
00:59:08.560 down immediately i've got
00:59:10.240 an even better suggestion
00:59:11.220 if you want to make it
00:59:11.860 television you can
00:59:12.560 relate it back to what
00:59:13.380 donald trump used to do
00:59:14.340 apprentice reboot
00:59:15.580 where it's just him
00:59:16.220 going around to every
00:59:17.200 department telling them
00:59:18.280 you're fired very good
00:59:20.120 i'd watch that should
00:59:21.360 crack on with yours and
00:59:22.060 leave the other two
00:59:22.640 till after uh yeah
00:59:23.580 sure so this subject
00:59:25.240 that i'm going to talk
00:59:25.840 about today i have been
00:59:27.040 told that dan covered
00:59:28.660 slightly yesterday but
00:59:30.520 frankly i didn't watch
00:59:32.100 yesterday's podcast and
00:59:33.360 i'm going to do it better
00:59:34.420 anyway because i was
00:59:35.220 also on it so we don't
00:59:36.640 need to necessarily go
00:59:37.600 over familiar territory if
00:59:38.720 we have yeah dan was
00:59:40.140 talking about how it's a
00:59:41.360 sign that everybody is
00:59:42.460 left wing and the
00:59:43.620 overton window yada yada
00:59:44.920 yada no i'm going to say
00:59:46.740 it differently i'm going to
00:59:47.680 say it correctly zoomers
00:59:49.180 yearn for the return of
00:59:50.720 the king this was the
00:59:52.160 entire premise of my
00:59:53.220 trigonometry interview and
00:59:54.400 i feel so vindicated
00:59:55.320 yes and that's actually
00:59:57.020 can i have a mouse please
00:59:57.980 no yeah that was
01:00:00.840 unnecessary wasn't it
01:00:02.260 can you believe this
01:00:03.380 folks please sir can i
01:00:04.440 have a mouse please just
01:00:05.780 one small mouse
01:00:07.000 satisfied with your
01:00:08.280 gruel my family they're
01:00:10.360 starving we'll make it
01:00:11.400 last weeks um no people
01:00:13.620 are very very interested in
01:00:15.040 learning about gen z not
01:00:16.760 gen z i'm english gen z and
01:00:19.760 uh finding out the
01:00:20.760 pathologies and different
01:00:21.900 opinions and habits of the
01:00:23.980 zoomers which leads to all
01:00:25.040 sorts of constant surveys
01:00:26.740 going on asking them about
01:00:27.820 their behaviors including
01:00:28.860 uh this one which got
01:00:30.300 published in the guardian the
01:00:32.000 other day talking about how
01:00:33.280 zoomers are afraid to go on
01:00:35.080 phone calls they prefer to
01:00:36.340 message that's weird to me
01:00:38.140 i'm not afraid it's just
01:00:39.100 annoying like why are you
01:00:39.880 calling me this is a i'm
01:00:41.940 busy this is exactly why
01:00:43.260 can't i just call if
01:00:44.660 you're if you're i've got
01:00:45.700 a rule that if if it's
01:00:47.040 business you can call if
01:00:48.940 it's you know just for a
01:00:50.100 chit chat you message and
01:00:51.340 organize it in advance yes
01:00:52.720 yeah if it's if it's urgent
01:00:54.680 call me if it's just
01:00:55.860 something you could have
01:00:56.960 said over a text i'm very
01:00:58.360 responsible i suppose i
01:00:59.760 suppose that's fair i think
01:01:01.260 the annoying thing for me is
01:01:02.440 all of my friends are
01:01:03.260 terrible at responding to
01:01:04.260 messages so it's easier for
01:01:05.740 me to just call them and get
01:01:06.820 the response right then and
01:01:07.840 there either way a lot of
01:01:09.760 these surveys are basically
01:01:10.780 to say aren't zoomers
01:01:12.660 stupid aren't they silly
01:01:14.220 they're afraid of this
01:01:15.380 they're afraid of that
01:01:16.000 they're so anxious and
01:01:17.400 depressed they don't drink
01:01:18.740 they don't have fun
01:01:19.460 anymore blah de blah de
01:01:20.660 blah yeah well guess what
01:01:22.720 we hate democracy
01:01:24.020 this is inconsistent so i
01:01:26.600 covered a while ago the
01:01:27.460 onward polling from the
01:01:28.460 kids aren't all right and
01:01:29.800 it was i think 61% would
01:01:31.840 support i've got that in
01:01:32.660 here actually yeah there we
01:01:34.200 go yeah i think we'll get
01:01:36.280 to those figures in just a
01:01:37.360 moment but this is the
01:01:38.520 latest one that came out
01:01:40.480 which has been causing
01:01:41.440 quite a scare among the
01:01:43.680 older generations and i
01:01:44.720 think dan mentioned to me
01:01:45.680 earlier that if you look
01:01:46.440 into the data it's every
01:01:48.100 the majority of people
01:01:49.680 particularly men below the
01:01:51.500 age of 44 so it's not
01:01:53.020 just zoomers but zoomers
01:01:54.220 seem to be the most in
01:01:55.720 favor of this
01:01:56.340 millennials and some
01:01:57.580 and some gen x's
01:01:59.280 it's hurting to use these
01:02:00.340 terms by the way
01:02:00.940 i know that you're not a
01:02:02.400 fan of the terms but we're
01:02:03.660 using them for the
01:02:04.680 particular age categories
01:02:06.000 um so they're not
01:02:08.380 particularly happy in the
01:02:09.940 uk specifically with how
01:02:11.920 democracy is going and
01:02:13.500 more than half of them
01:02:14.420 52 percent of gen z think
01:02:16.680 that the uk would be in a
01:02:17.740 better place if a if it
01:02:19.500 had a strong leader who
01:02:21.000 does not have to bother
01:02:21.960 with parliament and
01:02:22.940 elections and if they were
01:02:24.280 in charge now the news
01:02:26.040 reports on this have all
01:02:27.600 been classifying and
01:02:28.700 characterizing it as a
01:02:29.700 dictatorship so that
01:02:30.880 you've got that nasty
01:02:31.960 smear attached to it
01:02:33.300 because people hear
01:02:33.840 dictatorship they think
01:02:34.900 hitler they think
01:02:35.960 holocaust they think we
01:02:37.120 can't have that uh what
01:02:38.680 i mean the definition
01:02:40.540 given here strong leader
01:02:41.920 who does not have to
01:02:42.640 bother with parliament
01:02:43.300 and elections could
01:02:44.420 actually take a number of
01:02:45.720 different forms not
01:02:47.120 specifically dictator but
01:02:49.040 it could also just mean a
01:02:50.600 king well also that thing
01:02:52.260 that the english were
01:02:53.180 governed by for
01:02:54.880 centuries so it said
01:02:56.360 33 percent were amenable
01:02:57.680 for the army taking
01:02:58.440 charge and 47 percent
01:02:59.700 said that we need a
01:03:00.540 revolutionary
01:03:01.020 reconstitution of the way
01:03:02.480 we do life in this
01:03:03.340 country
01:03:03.560 they didn't break down
01:03:05.160 the ethnic demographics
01:03:07.360 only the age demographics
01:03:08.540 so it could be they were
01:03:09.760 envisioning a king
01:03:10.440 as far as i can tell
01:03:11.020 they also didn't break
01:03:12.500 down the actual
01:03:13.300 political divide on
01:03:14.880 this so when they say
01:03:16.120 revolution you could
01:03:17.600 say oh maybe they want
01:03:18.540 some kind of like
01:03:19.220 traditional rightist
01:03:20.340 revolution or maybe
01:03:21.420 they want a leftist
01:03:22.560 revolution so there's a
01:03:23.680 lot of gray area
01:03:24.700 in tefada and a
01:03:25.780 caliphate
01:03:26.660 or that because
01:03:27.720 gen z are remarkably
01:03:29.280 diverse
01:03:29.860 don't even necessarily
01:03:31.400 need to you know
01:03:33.180 be in those fringes
01:03:34.780 either because of
01:03:35.580 course being quite
01:03:37.040 libertarian inclined
01:03:38.020 i think that the only
01:03:39.500 way you clean up
01:03:40.480 british politics is
01:03:42.200 you have someone who
01:03:43.240 does what trump is
01:03:44.160 doing and just clears
01:03:46.220 out a lot of the
01:03:46.860 people and to do that
01:03:48.360 there's going to be a
01:03:48.940 lot of people in the
01:03:49.540 way and you could
01:03:50.660 argue that you know
01:03:51.900 sidestepping parliament
01:03:52.800 doing that and then
01:03:53.880 going back to ruling in
01:03:55.420 a more modest way would
01:03:58.340 be the perfect way to
01:03:59.240 do it right so you can
01:04:00.380 you can even argue for
01:04:01.740 this sort of thing from
01:04:02.680 a more liberty focused
01:04:04.740 well i would argue the
01:04:05.900 smaller the state the
01:04:06.880 greater the liberty
01:04:07.600 yeah but to get to get
01:04:10.000 to that point
01:04:10.660 yes you need to do a
01:04:12.260 lot of politicking and
01:04:13.660 clearing out you need
01:04:14.620 lots of power
01:04:15.400 and donald donald trump is
01:04:16.620 showing us right now that
01:04:17.620 it is possible even in
01:04:19.300 the modern era so to give
01:04:21.000 my own perspective on
01:04:22.460 uh what i think uh is
01:04:24.780 going on here not just
01:04:26.080 obviously not covering all
01:04:27.820 of them because as you
01:04:28.460 mentioned the lack of an
01:04:29.720 ethnic breakdown or a
01:04:30.880 political breakdown in
01:04:31.760 this means that it could
01:04:32.580 be going a number of
01:04:33.420 different ways but i think
01:04:34.880 in the most common sense
01:04:37.160 reading of this it's that
01:04:38.720 people are sick and tired
01:04:40.920 of governments that do
01:04:42.220 not work this government
01:04:44.540 that we have particularly
01:04:45.560 in the uk is hideously
01:04:47.820 incompetent and refuses to
01:04:49.360 take accountability or
01:04:51.080 responsibility for anything
01:04:53.080 that it does it always
01:04:54.440 wants the credit if
01:04:55.440 something has gone right
01:04:56.640 you know if they managed
01:04:57.760 to deport 10,000 people
01:05:00.480 under the rules that
01:05:01.940 were established by
01:05:02.620 swella braverman last
01:05:03.660 year before they even
01:05:04.460 got in the labor
01:05:05.560 government for instance is
01:05:06.740 more than happy to say
01:05:07.600 see we're doing what you
01:05:09.080 want but the second that
01:05:10.540 something goes wrong the
01:05:11.940 ruda cabana is probably
01:05:13.760 the most recent incident
01:05:15.280 of instance of that they
01:05:16.880 want to point to hatred
01:05:18.080 of the far right and start
01:05:19.140 clamping down on your
01:05:20.040 liberties people are sick
01:05:21.480 of this kind of anonymous
01:05:23.080 caretaker style government
01:05:25.680 where everything is the
01:05:26.920 responsibility of this
01:05:28.040 department or this
01:05:28.820 department but actually
01:05:29.700 it's not their
01:05:30.200 responsibility because
01:05:31.000 they're saying it's these
01:05:31.800 guys and the whole thing
01:05:33.020 is opaque and unknowable
01:05:34.620 and to a certain degree
01:05:35.980 and this is quite a hoppian
01:05:37.660 uh criticism right here
01:05:39.380 i think that it causes a
01:05:40.800 certain degree of
01:05:42.200 psychological uncertainty
01:05:44.080 in people's day to day
01:05:45.680 knowing that they are being
01:05:47.140 governed by some
01:05:48.340 gigantic unknowable
01:05:49.960 leviathan that exists in
01:05:52.020 the shadows until all of a
01:05:53.540 sudden you're being
01:05:54.560 arrested for posting a
01:05:55.720 meme online
01:05:56.680 it's much more certain
01:05:58.280 if you have a direct
01:05:59.860 link to responsibility of
01:06:01.800 the person in charge if
01:06:02.680 there's a centralized
01:06:04.000 authority figure well if
01:06:05.780 something goes wrong you
01:06:06.680 can blame them if
01:06:07.460 something goes right you
01:06:08.320 can thank them if
01:06:09.320 something needs to be
01:06:10.200 petitioned and changed you
01:06:11.500 can go to that leader and
01:06:12.840 petition them there's a
01:06:14.020 certainty and a
01:06:14.720 simplicity to it which has
01:06:16.400 just been completely swept
01:06:18.420 away by what we now
01:06:19.760 consider to be liberal
01:06:21.160 democratic governance which
01:06:22.620 is really an oligarchy
01:06:24.440 supported by an enormous
01:06:25.740 civil service there are
01:06:27.040 two things to say here the
01:06:28.140 first of which is a very
01:06:28.940 obvious point of in the
01:06:30.000 past people used to
01:06:30.800 petition the king and it's
01:06:32.100 pretty obvious who you go
01:06:33.080 to right and the second
01:06:34.360 thing is uh to to build on
01:06:36.480 that hoppian psychology if
01:06:37.980 you will uncertainty makes
01:06:40.060 people yield to strong
01:06:42.020 leadership and decisive action
01:06:43.740 and if you have if you are
01:06:46.120 the person who has the
01:06:47.140 behemoth bureaucracy the large
01:06:49.800 state and not only are they
01:06:52.220 uncertain about the nature of
01:06:53.580 the problems but also how the
01:06:54.840 government works that's
01:06:55.740 almost like doubling up the
01:06:57.280 degree of uncertainty because
01:06:58.760 people then become unaware of
01:07:01.420 who they should even say this
01:07:02.700 to and so the the instability and
01:07:05.940 uncertainty sort of maximizes the
01:07:08.100 willingness someone has towards
01:07:10.600 tolerating tyranny basically
01:07:13.240 well i'd like to add to that as
01:07:14.500 well what you've said there is
01:07:15.720 democracy is now synonymous with
01:07:17.340 deep state and so we have
01:07:19.040 outsourced all decision making
01:07:20.180 capacity to quangos and
01:07:21.480 committees ever since 1997 and
01:07:23.100 tony blair turned the state into
01:07:25.340 a kind of self-driving car towards
01:07:27.160 progress and if this state is
01:07:30.720 making competent taxpaying law
01:07:32.960 abiding straight white men public
01:07:34.360 enemy number one why would said
01:07:36.140 cohort presuming there's a large
01:07:37.660 amount of reaction resumers in
01:07:38.960 this want to preserve that social
01:07:40.700 order why wouldn't they just want
01:07:41.620 to upend it and they can see a
01:07:43.160 route to upending it because one
01:07:44.420 of the most pivotal political
01:07:46.080 moments of our lifetime was
01:07:47.080 covid so for two years we were
01:07:48.780 put under house arrest and the
01:07:50.080 government dissolved any division
01:07:52.200 between public and private spheres
01:07:53.520 and separation of powers with a
01:07:55.180 press conference given by boris
01:07:56.780 johnson in one night so the zoomers
01:07:58.580 have turned around and gone right
01:07:59.320 oh hang on a minute the state can at
01:08:02.340 all times intervene in and control
01:08:05.160 every aspect of life so there's no
01:08:07.040 excuse for incompetence or inaction
01:08:08.520 anymore instead why don't we just
01:08:10.580 take that power and use it rather
01:08:12.060 than against my interests for my
01:08:13.680 interests i'm not saying i support
01:08:15.140 that but i am saying it's the
01:08:16.280 logical outgrowth of the standard
01:08:17.240 that they've set so why are they
01:08:18.420 shocked especially when all of the
01:08:19.560 decisions that the government is
01:08:20.640 making is constantly making people's
01:08:22.140 lives worse making you poorer
01:08:23.700 changing the breakdown of your
01:08:25.780 neighborhood against your will
01:08:27.680 without informing you and then if
01:08:29.220 you have something to complain
01:08:30.140 about either it's not their fault
01:08:31.640 not their responsibility or again
01:08:33.620 you maybe end up on a watch list
01:08:36.000 maybe you end up getting caught
01:08:37.740 getting stopped when you go through
01:08:39.540 the airport and interrogated over
01:08:41.460 your opinions i think that in this
01:08:44.220 scenario the sort of lesson from the
01:08:46.000 lord of the rings is actually turned
01:08:48.260 on its head that you've got to take
01:08:49.760 the boromir approach of you've got to
01:08:51.280 use the ring to destroy the evil
01:08:53.400 rather than you know ignoring it and
01:08:56.800 resisting its power because that
01:08:58.180 simply won't work in this well i think
01:09:00.600 that it would be you would need to use
01:09:02.180 the ring to destroy the ring in yeah
01:09:04.480 exactly essentially exactly but i do
01:09:07.320 think in this there is likely in all
01:09:09.460 likelihood a cohort of reactionary zoomers
01:09:12.960 if that's what you're trying to
01:09:14.340 suggest it because first of all the
01:09:16.420 report was gen zed trends trust
01:09:18.580 trends truth and trust uh part of a
01:09:21.020 channel four report that was
01:09:22.960 commissioned and it says in this next
01:09:24.460 article that i have here uh it's
01:09:26.380 commissioned by channel four and done
01:09:28.260 by craft they got 3 000 people 2 000
01:09:31.380 gen zeds and uh people aged 28 to 65
01:09:35.320 making up the remaining 1000 and
01:09:38.280 because they asked not just about
01:09:39.480 attitudes towards democracy and towards
01:09:42.600 politics in general the need for
01:09:44.360 revolution etc they also talked about
01:09:47.820 gender equality and they found that
01:09:49.820 45 percent of male respondents aged 13
01:09:52.700 to 27 agreed that we have gone so far in
01:09:55.820 promoting women's equality that we are
01:09:57.340 discriminating against men and because
01:09:59.120 the law says so yeah exactly you can
01:10:01.800 point to the criminal statutes that
01:10:03.720 point now a further 44 percent agreed
01:10:06.360 that when it comes to giving women
01:10:07.660 equal rights things have gone far
01:10:10.080 enough so this survey has found that
01:10:12.540 the british people tired of women
01:10:14.460 the same the same thank you bernie
01:10:16.960 saunders the same polling was found
01:10:19.120 precipitating large zoomer male support
01:10:22.000 for donald trump so if let's say reform
01:10:25.740 uk decides to just copy the trump
01:10:27.660 phenomena and bring it over you've got
01:10:29.120 a ready-made underrepresented voter base
01:10:32.740 that are only going to grow as
01:10:34.400 demographics increase over time so just
01:10:36.240 do that yeah and to further support the
01:10:38.520 idea that a lot of these people who are
01:10:40.400 answering in this way are probably
01:10:41.920 shifting towards the right in that age
01:10:44.160 cohort they don't go on to point out
01:10:46.480 and this is fear-mongering this is
01:10:48.420 fear-mongering oh good independent
01:10:50.260 saying that controversial influences
01:10:52.820 andrew tate who i'm not a fan of i'm
01:10:55.900 not a fan of i do understand to a young
01:10:58.880 man who sees society telling him
01:11:00.900 everything that he does is wrong and
01:11:02.480 he should feel ashamed of himself i do
01:11:04.220 see why andrew tate would appeal to him
01:11:06.040 because he's at least trying to sell
01:11:08.040 them a message of self-empowerment
01:11:10.280 right the ethnic breakdown of andrew
01:11:11.880 tate supporters by the way i don't know
01:11:14.020 it's very inconvenient for the guardian
01:11:15.720 and the independent yeah they don't buy
01:11:17.260 sun cream but controversial influences
01:11:19.780 andrew tate and jordan peterson were
01:11:22.100 among those to command similar trust by
01:11:24.420 42 percent of men again whether or not
01:11:27.340 you agree with andrew tate or jordan
01:11:29.260 peterson uh i'm a much bigger fan of
01:11:31.600 peterson and tate you can see why they're
01:11:33.780 trying to give people a positive
01:11:35.620 message they're trying to give young
01:11:38.300 men a positive image of themselves so
01:11:41.020 you can see why that might appeal to
01:11:42.480 them another 25 year old male
01:11:44.800 participant from penryn cornwall said he
01:11:47.300 felt targeted because he was a regular
01:11:49.340 straight white man who has had a
01:11:50.980 cultural advantage in the past is
01:11:53.180 swinging back the other way to a point
01:11:54.780 where we potentially risk discriminating
01:11:56.480 against us in favor of the people in
01:11:58.780 minority groups an 18 year old from hitch
01:12:01.180 in hertfordshire said i believe the man
01:12:03.780 has to be the provider and he has to
01:12:05.920 provide for the family i've seen my life
01:12:08.180 around me a lot of people are just not
01:12:09.500 into that anymore i personally think that
01:12:11.400 a man has to provide regardless same
01:12:13.540 with women nowadays i suppose i believe
01:12:15.640 that that's a woman's choice they
01:12:17.480 shouldn't be discouraged from being a
01:12:18.740 housewife so these two perspectives to
01:12:20.480 me common sense that second one is
01:12:22.860 basically what i believe yeah but i
01:12:25.760 assume that the independent is trying to
01:12:28.360 highlight them so that you know that
01:12:29.740 it's evil far writers answering that
01:12:32.360 they want a dictatorship what's because
01:12:34.380 they want they want they want the
01:12:36.020 andrew tate hitler dictatorship to run
01:12:38.760 the uk to force a wife on them this is
01:12:42.040 just i assume is what the independent
01:12:43.480 is just a promo article so what's this
01:12:45.800 political particle brov brov yeah so
01:12:48.440 what's what exactly is evil about
01:12:50.260 wanting to provide resources for other
01:12:53.080 people and giving people the option to
01:12:55.580 stay at home and look after their
01:12:57.440 families if they want to you're
01:12:59.440 denying them the opportunity to be
01:13:01.540 miserable in office somewhere great
01:13:05.080 that's it that's that i wonder why the
01:13:06.900 harris campaign didn't win over large
01:13:08.360 swathes of young women yeah and the
01:13:10.840 the guardian article here has some more
01:13:13.480 information talking about the use of
01:13:15.940 social media from these people in
01:13:17.840 these age groups saying that they get
01:13:19.680 most of their information from social
01:13:21.460 media posts and influencers and the they
01:13:26.380 don't trust the bbc as much and also
01:13:30.020 there's a counterintuitive one here
01:13:31.980 saying gen z actually trust politicians
01:13:34.440 more than other generations 27 percent of
01:13:37.680 them trust versus just nine percent for
01:13:41.060 over 28 year olds and i'm struggling to
01:13:44.060 account for why that would be that they
01:13:46.100 would want a centralized authority figure
01:13:48.820 while also trusting politicians perhaps
01:13:50.880 it's that they i don't know how they
01:13:52.380 structured the question it might be that
01:13:55.000 they trust particular politicians more
01:13:57.720 and distrust the rest of them so it might
01:13:59.720 just be that maybe gen z have said oh
01:14:01.740 well that rupert lowe guy seems like a
01:14:03.380 trustworthy bloke and they've used that
01:14:05.380 to say well they trust politicians more
01:14:07.520 but that's interesting so of course this as
01:14:11.480 you mentioned is not a new thing in fact
01:14:14.960 onward themselves had this graph going up
01:14:19.120 to 2022 this is the one that i got dan to
01:14:22.000 pull up uh yesterday by the way ah yes
01:14:24.680 well references frequently it's it's
01:14:26.920 interesting to me that it's around 2019
01:14:29.340 that it suddenly spikes up for everybody
01:14:32.320 and then the older generations all start to
01:14:34.900 simmer down in their need for the brexit
01:14:38.160 negotiations wasn't it yes it was but the
01:14:41.340 younger generations have said no no this
01:14:44.340 i still don't like this but the interesting
01:14:46.740 thing most interesting thing for me is
01:14:49.040 there was this report attached to it that
01:14:51.280 tried to explain this because oh my god
01:14:53.940 the kids want a dictatorship how do we
01:14:55.720 solve this well we need to go to the
01:14:57.380 root of the problem what are the problems
01:14:59.420 causing this well let's see what onward
01:15:01.600 diagnosed this as in their report and
01:15:04.320 i'll just take you on a whistle stop
01:15:05.680 through the four drivers of detachment from
01:15:09.240 democracy because democracy you know you
01:15:12.320 vote in for mps who barely have any power
01:15:15.100 and mostly just submit to ngo reports
01:15:17.420 anyway because they don't even read them
01:15:18.820 and they just need to get things done and
01:15:20.080 bills passed in parliament so who cares
01:15:21.900 that's accountable governance why don't
01:15:24.060 you like that why don't you like every
01:15:25.780 aspect of your life being made worse
01:15:27.400 constantly well it's because you spend
01:15:29.180 too much time online bro you've got
01:15:31.020 narrow social networks you're
01:15:32.740 radicalizing yourself over protective
01:15:35.260 parenting
01:15:35.860 if your dad was a dictator at home then
01:15:39.860 you'd know how bad it was why don't you
01:15:41.280 just hate your dad more well despite despite
01:15:43.200 then you would know why dictatorship is
01:15:45.140 bad despite growing numbers of children
01:15:47.060 not growing up with their father in
01:15:48.140 their home
01:15:48.420 this is an idiotic yes
01:15:50.520 uh the treadmill of modern work
01:15:53.620 basically you are extorted if you're a
01:15:56.320 hard-working law-abiding tax-paying young
01:15:58.040 man
01:15:58.300 to battery farm foreign criminals at your
01:16:00.120 expense
01:16:00.560 yes so that one maybe maybe i can see
01:16:03.400 that as related to all the other things
01:16:05.200 that we know are the actual reasons why
01:16:07.420 people don't like the system right now
01:16:08.780 and again you're spending way too much
01:16:10.880 time online bro just touch grass take a
01:16:14.460 nap and get into some arguments with
01:16:16.600 your parents and then you'll understand
01:16:18.520 why democracy matters so much because
01:16:20.780 of course the the over 75s least uh in
01:16:24.500 favor of this that they're known for
01:16:26.420 going outside all the time being very
01:16:28.760 active
01:16:29.400 not just sitting indoors watching the bbc
01:16:31.880 and having them told that liberal
01:16:33.420 democracy is the absolute best thing
01:16:34.580 for you
01:16:34.780 yeah the key demographic for watching
01:16:37.000 the news and paying attention to the
01:16:38.580 mainstream media as if it actually
01:16:40.080 matters
01:16:40.460 it should be noted by the way that
01:16:41.660 onward was formerly run by sebastian
01:16:43.300 pain who is michael goves mini me
01:16:45.400 what a surprise
01:16:47.180 both in appearance and politics
01:16:48.300 yes
01:16:48.560 but this this report is over two years
01:16:50.560 old now and i find it funny that this
01:16:52.700 overprotective parenting reason is being
01:16:55.920 rolled out again by inews for this
01:16:59.620 latest report saying that gentle
01:17:01.660 parenting is now affecting democracy i
01:17:04.240 assume by gentle parenting they mean
01:17:06.080 the same as overprotective parenting
01:17:08.200 just being too nice to your kids and
01:17:09.980 keeping them out of trouble
01:17:10.880 well i kind of agree with these people
01:17:13.740 and i didn't have overprotective parents
01:17:15.800 at all
01:17:16.260 me neither i don't see the overlap
01:17:18.740 between
01:17:19.320 my parents are too nice to me best vote
01:17:21.980 hitler
01:17:22.320 okay so no what what i do to steal man
01:17:25.160 to steal man the case for this
01:17:26.780 they're not described that i don't think
01:17:29.180 they're saying you automatically go and
01:17:30.320 have to hit your kids which i'm against
01:17:31.520 this is something mary harrington's
01:17:32.900 talked about before the safetyism culture
01:17:34.980 in cradle to higher education daycare
01:17:39.260 because we're so institutionalized
01:17:40.600 where if you fall off a wall rather than
01:17:42.720 the attitude that you know you're
01:17:43.800 gonna have your daughter which is like
01:17:44.840 oh you're fine it's just a gray shake
01:17:46.160 it off
01:17:46.440 immediately you have to write out form
01:17:47.960 and call the parents
01:17:48.860 i already have to fight the missus over
01:17:50.320 things like that if she like bumps her
01:17:51.780 head on something she immediately runs
01:17:53.820 to present i'm like ah she's fine
01:17:56.100 it's institutionalized devouring
01:17:58.000 and she'll just get straight back up
01:17:59.880 and be on a merry way
01:18:00.900 well that that culture
01:18:01.860 that's been interned in very
01:18:04.280 feminized education environments
01:18:05.640 has set up
01:18:06.840 a cohort of gen z not the same one
01:18:09.540 we're talking about
01:18:10.140 to think that everything should be a
01:18:11.460 safe space
01:18:11.920 and so that everything should be
01:18:13.140 surveilled
01:18:13.660 and the offense should be prevented
01:18:15.020 at all times
01:18:15.820 but that doesn't describe the young
01:18:17.720 men who are sick to death of that
01:18:18.960 culture who are also saying
01:18:20.220 yeah i love bekele trump and malay
01:18:22.140 why not
01:18:22.580 risk
01:18:23.260 risk defines masculinity
01:18:25.700 if you look at a chart
01:18:28.600 that plots your testosterone
01:18:30.000 and your willingness to take risks
01:18:32.240 it is a straight line
01:18:33.720 that's all
01:18:34.960 that's voting for right-wing politics
01:18:35.840 exactly
01:18:36.320 it's almost like
01:18:37.520 there's
01:18:37.940 there's
01:18:38.320 some sort of
01:18:39.720 health aspect to it
01:18:41.020 isn't there
01:18:41.320 some kind of connection
01:18:42.180 but i also have
01:18:43.440 another explanation
01:18:44.860 for why it is that people
01:18:46.320 don't appreciate democracy
01:18:48.100 in certain states
01:18:49.240 that can be
01:18:49.920 found through examples
01:18:51.060 in
01:18:51.520 other parts of the world
01:18:52.940 which is
01:18:53.500 this example is
01:18:54.580 south africa
01:18:55.520 this was
01:18:56.480 last year in may
01:18:58.080 a report from the economist
01:18:59.720 talking about south africans
01:19:00.960 being fed up
01:19:01.700 after 30 years of democracy
01:19:03.020 why
01:19:03.840 because it's a failed state
01:19:05.500 typically
01:19:06.960 failed states
01:19:08.480 and i would say
01:19:09.000 the uk
01:19:09.460 is getting
01:19:10.420 perilously close
01:19:11.700 to becoming one
01:19:12.740 end up not liking
01:19:14.840 the government
01:19:15.540 that's failing them
01:19:16.760 stranger things have happened
01:19:18.880 i mean
01:19:19.320 listen
01:19:19.760 listen to this
01:19:20.680 so this was a
01:19:21.460 30 years of freedom
01:19:23.300 in south africa
01:19:24.380 the more socializing
01:19:26.040 across racial boundaries
01:19:27.160 but south africans
01:19:28.460 said that race relations
01:19:29.560 have
01:19:29.880 have improved since 1994
01:19:32.760 has been falling
01:19:33.880 most south africans
01:19:36.340 say that they are
01:19:36.980 dissatisfied with
01:19:38.020 democracy
01:19:38.540 and would ditch
01:19:39.260 elected governments
01:19:40.120 if an autocrat
01:19:41.200 could do a better job
01:19:42.500 why
01:19:43.180 well it's because
01:19:44.320 south africans
01:19:45.320 no longer see their lives
01:19:46.320 getting better
01:19:46.960 on average
01:19:47.760 incomes have stagnated
01:19:49.200 power and water cuts
01:19:51.020 have become more frequent
01:19:52.160 more frequent
01:19:53.100 and corruption
01:19:53.940 has seeped into
01:19:55.640 every layer of the state
01:19:57.300 only 15% of 257 municipalities
01:20:00.240 get clean audits
01:20:01.480 from the relevant watchdog
01:20:02.440 so the entire state
01:20:04.060 up to this moment as well
01:20:05.940 is a complete failed disaster
01:20:07.700 and people have said
01:20:08.740 i don't want this anymore
01:20:10.180 that's why people end up
01:20:11.700 giving up on their governments
01:20:12.900 some days in south africa
01:20:14.660 they only get power
01:20:15.960 for four hours of the day
01:20:18.480 which makes running
01:20:19.520 a restaurant
01:20:20.440 impossible
01:20:21.380 loads and loads
01:20:22.880 of quality of life
01:20:23.900 things obviously
01:20:24.600 impossible
01:20:25.440 parts of rural ireland
01:20:27.220 at the moment
01:20:27.860 still don't have any power
01:20:29.060 because of storm
01:20:29.780 storm
01:20:30.160 at least that's
01:20:31.860 a fixable problem
01:20:32.800 whereas in south africa
01:20:33.820 the infrastructure
01:20:34.520 has just got worse
01:20:35.620 since the end of apartheid
01:20:37.240 and in many ways
01:20:38.140 as controversial
01:20:39.640 as it might be
01:20:40.440 the standard of living
01:20:41.480 for most people
01:20:42.380 under apartheid
01:20:43.500 was probably higher
01:20:44.600 you know
01:20:46.000 it's a similar thing
01:20:47.040 to rhodesia
01:20:48.020 and zimbabwe
01:20:48.820 after 20 years
01:20:50.760 of zimbabwe
01:20:51.880 then they had
01:20:53.140 mass famines
01:20:53.780 and millions of people
01:20:54.480 dying
01:20:54.800 and they still have
01:20:55.540 i think 25% of children
01:20:56.960 have stunted growth
01:20:57.900 and they had the highest
01:20:59.540 standard of living
01:21:00.280 in africa
01:21:01.280 when it was rhodesia
01:21:03.320 turns out race communism
01:21:04.560 not good
01:21:05.540 yeah it doesn't work
01:21:06.820 but of course
01:21:07.880 again
01:21:08.740 like blaming
01:21:09.760 gentle parenting
01:21:11.120 overprotective parenting
01:21:12.300 being online too much
01:21:13.620 the solutions advocated
01:21:15.540 by the media
01:21:16.780 are not solutions
01:21:18.040 to okay
01:21:18.620 maybe we should
01:21:19.540 improve the country
01:21:20.560 rather than make it worse
01:21:21.720 the solution is
01:21:22.620 how do we nudge people
01:21:24.860 into just accepting
01:21:26.660 that their lives are shit
01:21:28.200 learned helplessness
01:21:29.140 learned helplessness
01:21:30.280 because that's what i got
01:21:31.520 from this independent article
01:21:33.020 if gen z has given up
01:21:34.520 on democracy
01:21:35.120 we're in even more trouble
01:21:36.640 than we thought
01:21:37.340 because good
01:21:37.900 because i might be out
01:21:39.260 of a paycheck
01:21:39.920 if they get what they want
01:21:41.720 so this guy says
01:21:43.080 that he was a lifetime
01:21:44.020 school teacher of history
01:21:45.260 and politics
01:21:45.760 and a headmaster
01:21:46.480 for 20 years
01:21:47.720 i toiled for 40 years
01:21:49.820 to bring politics
01:21:50.560 and current affairs
01:21:51.440 into the classroom
01:21:52.740 i never minded
01:21:53.740 what political views
01:21:54.660 they had
01:21:55.020 as long as it wasn't extreme
01:21:56.160 as long as it wasn't extreme
01:21:57.520 so you did
01:21:57.940 so you did
01:21:59.120 but i cared deeply
01:22:00.240 that they formed views
01:22:01.440 on the biggest issues
01:22:02.780 of the day
01:22:03.280 and i'm sure you didn't
01:22:04.080 try and nudge them
01:22:04.880 in any particular direction
01:22:06.480 and he goes on to say
01:22:07.660 autocracy may be fine
01:22:09.340 as long as it's working
01:22:10.640 for you
01:22:11.300 yeah
01:22:12.300 that's literally
01:22:13.040 their opinion
01:22:13.460 that's the whole point
01:22:13.940 that's the point
01:22:14.940 but you all should know
01:22:16.280 it's dark underbelly
01:22:17.620 repression of free speech
01:22:19.200 wouldn't know
01:22:19.620 what that felt like
01:22:20.480 yeah
01:22:20.780 literal thought crimes
01:22:22.500 in the country
01:22:23.040 arbitrary imprisonment
01:22:24.460 what's that
01:22:25.320 never heard of that
01:22:26.420 happening in this country
01:22:27.440 and the trampling
01:22:28.500 of minorities
01:22:29.380 we're not a minority yet
01:22:32.980 but
01:22:33.200 i don't care
01:22:34.260 i don't care about
01:22:35.700 the feelings of minorities
01:22:36.800 i don't care what's good
01:22:38.140 for them
01:22:38.540 because what's good
01:22:39.420 for them
01:22:39.920 is what's bad for us
01:22:41.120 and that's been prioritized
01:22:42.240 for decades
01:22:43.120 at this point
01:22:43.720 and then he goes on
01:22:44.680 to accidentally
01:22:45.600 accidentally
01:22:47.000 make dictatorship
01:22:48.560 sound way more peaceful
01:22:50.800 than democracy
01:22:51.880 by saying
01:22:52.940 throughout history
01:22:53.900 countless millions
01:22:55.160 have died
01:22:55.860 in the name of democracy
01:22:56.880 but barely any have died
01:22:58.700 wanting to supplant democracy
01:23:00.060 by dictatorship
01:23:00.920 so it's like a peaceful
01:23:02.940 transfer of power then
01:23:04.400 the romanovs would disagree
01:23:05.900 but there you go
01:23:06.380 yeah
01:23:07.060 the reason for gen z's views
01:23:09.120 has been eloquently
01:23:09.920 explained by elisa philby
01:23:11.920 author of bestseller
01:23:13.620 generation shift
01:23:14.500 she told me that gen z
01:23:15.500 haven't been brought up
01:23:16.580 in the turmoils of the
01:23:17.880 20th century
01:23:18.620 and the resulting
01:23:19.200 democratic consensus
01:23:20.160 ingrained in any generation
01:23:21.520 born in the second half
01:23:22.740 of the 20th century
01:23:23.380 yeah it's not like
01:23:24.360 world war ii
01:23:25.300 and the holocaust
01:23:26.800 and the horrors
01:23:27.420 of dictatorship
01:23:28.040 have been drilled
01:23:29.020 into our heads
01:23:29.880 from the very first time
01:23:31.100 that we could understand
01:23:32.060 the english language
01:23:33.440 no but not for them
01:23:35.040 the long shadow of hitler
01:23:36.020 and the second world war
01:23:37.020 nor even of soviet russia
01:23:38.300 and the cold war
01:23:39.020 the evils of dictatorship
01:23:40.400 have not been evident
01:23:41.420 on their watch
01:23:42.020 i'm sorry
01:23:42.660 this man is disconnected
01:23:44.600 from reality
01:23:45.340 he taught
01:23:46.060 it's on the syllabus
01:23:46.660 he taught history
01:23:47.820 and dares to claim
01:23:49.540 that we've not been told
01:23:50.900 the horror stories
01:23:51.780 of the 20th century
01:23:52.900 we've not had it
01:23:53.560 drilled into our heads
01:23:54.620 for god's sake
01:23:55.540 let me start with
01:23:56.700 a three-point plan
01:23:57.760 he ends the article
01:23:58.760 saying
01:23:59.160 voting for politicians
01:24:00.860 who tell the truth
01:24:01.880 and who deliver
01:24:02.520 on their promises
01:24:03.260 that's how you fix democracy
01:24:05.080 is to get honest politicians
01:24:06.900 and vote for them
01:24:07.880 i'm gonna deport
01:24:08.700 all foreign criminals
01:24:09.440 gets into power
01:24:10.220 deports all foreign criminals
01:24:11.260 sign me up
01:24:11.800 yeah yeah i was gonna say
01:24:12.900 well that'd be nice
01:24:13.680 if we were offered politicians
01:24:15.160 who told the truth
01:24:16.560 and delivered on their promises
01:24:17.660 but we're not
01:24:18.560 not in the uk at least
01:24:20.000 that's like him saying
01:24:21.280 how do you restore faith
01:24:22.540 in democracy
01:24:23.080 well you just be good
01:24:24.120 you just fix democracy
01:24:25.640 yeah
01:24:26.060 okay
01:24:26.440 oh guess what he says
01:24:29.160 is part of it
01:24:29.760 is the second point
01:24:30.700 a properly funded
01:24:31.900 and properly impartial
01:24:33.280 bbc
01:24:34.000 that'll fix it
01:24:35.260 that'll fix it
01:24:36.540 better state propaganda
01:24:37.980 is what we need
01:24:39.160 and also
01:24:40.220 the teaching of citizenship
01:24:41.580 and democracy
01:24:42.300 to all our school children
01:24:43.400 you already do that
01:24:44.660 and again
01:24:45.240 that's just another
01:24:46.020 state propaganda
01:24:46.980 propaganda exercise
01:24:48.460 right there
01:24:49.020 so
01:24:49.460 to fix democracy
01:24:50.980 and make it so
01:24:51.780 gen z
01:24:52.200 doesn't give up
01:24:53.080 on democracy
01:24:53.660 you need to
01:24:54.440 propagandize them better
01:24:55.580 and also
01:24:56.760 controversially
01:24:58.640 do good government
01:25:00.860 yeah well that's not
01:25:02.700 what we're getting
01:25:03.140 right now
01:25:03.660 so that's why
01:25:05.020 the zoomers
01:25:06.260 are yearning
01:25:07.140 for a king
01:25:07.820 excellent
01:25:09.100 uh samson
01:25:10.180 do we have any
01:25:10.740 video comments today
01:25:11.760 he's wheeling over now
01:25:14.020 we do
01:25:14.480 media is a snapshot
01:25:18.320 of the time and culture
01:25:19.200 in which it was produced
01:25:20.020 which makes it useful
01:25:20.780 for seeing how quickly
01:25:21.460 and in which direction
01:25:22.060 mainstream leftist ideology
01:25:23.060 mutates
01:25:23.580 take for example
01:25:24.360 await further instructions
01:25:25.340 a 2018 horror film
01:25:26.560 which is clearly
01:25:27.000 left wing in nature
01:25:27.720 the protagonists
01:25:28.420 are a mixed race couple
01:25:29.140 the grandfather is racist
01:25:30.180 and abusive to his son
01:25:31.060 the father is called
01:25:31.700 and emotionally detached
01:25:32.420 etc
01:25:32.740 the core of the film
01:25:33.940 is that the family
01:25:34.480 blindly accept instructions
01:25:35.600 coming from the tv
01:25:36.260 believing it's the government
01:25:37.120 except for the protagonists
01:25:38.120 who are sceptical
01:25:38.740 indeed there's even a vaccine
01:25:40.160 they have to inject
01:25:40.820 which ends up killing
01:25:41.500 the grandfather
01:25:41.980 and the father says
01:25:42.720 it's a good thing we took it
01:25:43.660 or we might have ended up
01:25:44.360 like him
01:25:44.720 clearly it's a pre-covid
01:25:46.220 distrust authority narrative
01:25:47.440 which came just before
01:25:48.360 the vaccine and mask mandates
01:25:49.560 predictive programming at work
01:25:52.000 yep
01:25:52.880 i mean i didn't know
01:25:53.900 that even existed
01:25:54.740 on to the next one
01:25:55.700 oh
01:25:56.000 that's you
01:25:57.980 the final two
01:26:01.280 harry is northern
01:26:02.580 naturally based
01:26:03.980 he got kicked out of
01:26:05.120 a rock band
01:26:06.000 because he's so based
01:26:07.220 josh can tell you
01:26:08.380 the psychology of these
01:26:09.620 poser punk and metal bands
01:26:12.020 both have had to endure
01:26:13.420 research on degenerate people
01:26:15.000 to expose their evils
01:26:16.440 to sunlight
01:26:17.280 harry goes in h tier
01:26:19.400 josh goes in j tier
01:26:21.700 yeah
01:26:22.740 right at the bottom
01:26:24.500 where i belong
01:26:25.280 don't don't worry
01:26:28.000 i'm on top of you
01:26:28.840 just how you like it
01:26:30.060 i'm worried about being in the
01:26:32.340 middle here
01:26:32.740 well everyone's
01:26:34.340 first time
01:26:34.740 if you've noticed the tier
01:26:35.740 list is based on the first
01:26:37.960 letter of someone's first name
01:26:39.060 so
01:26:40.460 alifornia refugee
01:26:41.740 has tricked us into actually
01:26:44.200 being very nice about us
01:26:45.540 and not actually categorize us
01:26:47.360 he's tricked us into getting
01:26:47.540 invested in this
01:26:48.480 while also not offending
01:26:49.860 any of us
01:26:50.520 that's true
01:26:51.460 very clever
01:26:52.320 you'd make a good politician
01:26:53.580 yeah that was
01:26:54.340 that was quite good
01:26:55.060 wait who's
01:26:55.620 also thank you very much
01:26:56.360 oh it's daisy
01:26:56.960 oh okay
01:26:57.440 on to the next one
01:26:58.980 the refrain from weak leftists
01:27:02.640 is to say that illegal immigrants
01:27:04.080 can't be expelled if they do not
01:27:05.420 have documentation declaring
01:27:06.840 their country of origin
01:27:08.220 let me posit a fix to this
01:27:10.160 it doesn't matter
01:27:11.400 when they arrived with documents
01:27:12.940 or without they will have been
01:27:14.060 recorded including how they
01:27:15.380 entered the country
01:27:16.620 simply send them back from where
01:27:18.060 they set off to cross our border
01:27:19.980 in many cases this means france
01:27:21.780 which is a safe country
01:27:23.340 in fewer cases this will be a
01:27:24.660 plurality of countries most of which
01:27:26.420 are safe
01:27:27.340 substantially this will reduce the
01:27:28.800 number needing detaining
01:27:29.880 who can then be held
01:27:30.880 until they reveal the truth
01:27:31.960 of their situation
01:27:32.740 we can also just detain them
01:27:34.620 on either ascension island
01:27:35.520 or pitcan
01:27:36.080 i mean pitcan's already a prison
01:27:37.160 colony full of nonces
01:27:38.000 so they'd feel right at home
01:27:39.280 blimey
01:27:40.540 i'm not joking
01:27:41.080 most of it
01:27:41.560 like half of the island
01:27:42.720 were were pedos
01:27:44.060 so we just like
01:27:45.060 kept them on the island
01:27:46.060 as prisoners
01:27:46.740 pedo island
01:27:47.860 brass i
01:27:48.580 do it prophetic
01:27:49.840 yeah
01:27:50.320 uh we've got a couple of minutes
01:27:52.620 uh we've got some general comments
01:27:54.480 i think
01:27:54.820 some good ones here
01:27:56.000 yes go for it
01:27:56.780 uh connor
01:27:57.760 people in the live chat
01:27:58.560 demanding to know
01:27:59.240 where the ken mug has gone
01:28:00.580 uh it is
01:28:01.720 in my cupboard at home
01:28:02.840 i think i took it home for christmas
01:28:04.560 and i've left it there
01:28:05.280 selfish bastard
01:28:06.960 denying us the ken
01:28:08.100 the wigan survivalist says
01:28:09.560 any thoughts
01:28:10.160 about our dear boy
01:28:11.300 callum being detained
01:28:12.100 by uk terror police
01:28:13.400 and we did
01:28:14.040 touch on that
01:28:14.920 but um
01:28:15.640 obviously it's awful
01:28:16.540 hope callum's doing all right
01:28:17.900 i think he got all of his stuff
01:28:19.540 back at least
01:28:20.240 and he got his video footage back
01:28:21.580 they did hold it
01:28:22.300 for the maximum amount
01:28:23.380 yeah
01:28:23.740 they could
01:28:24.260 and who knows
01:28:24.940 what they rifled through
01:28:26.300 on all of his files
01:28:27.300 because he would have had
01:28:28.040 memory cards and sds
01:28:29.260 and such
01:28:29.740 did they disclose
01:28:30.380 if it was for something
01:28:31.380 he'd said
01:28:31.840 or just was it
01:28:32.560 because of his travel history
01:28:33.580 travel history
01:28:34.380 travel history
01:28:34.980 particularly regarding russia
01:28:36.640 they sound like
01:28:37.340 they were very interested
01:28:38.280 in whether he'd taken money
01:28:39.720 from anybody in russia
01:28:40.800 i'm surprised that it
01:28:41.880 wasn't about the taliban
01:28:42.900 and afghanistan
01:28:43.660 but they seem much more
01:28:44.720 interested in russia
01:28:46.040 presumably because
01:28:46.880 they're an active enemy
01:28:47.800 right
01:28:48.280 also if callum were a spy
01:28:49.940 why would he videotape
01:28:51.460 everything he did
01:28:52.460 in a country
01:28:53.120 and then post it online
01:28:54.680 to millions of people
01:28:55.780 if i were a spy
01:28:57.660 i would not do that
01:28:58.740 deep cover
01:28:59.380 he would
01:29:00.600 he would be a terrible spy
01:29:02.140 no offense callum
01:29:03.180 he does stick out a bit
01:29:04.960 doesn't he
01:29:05.440 you know
01:29:06.020 the north koreans
01:29:07.120 he certainly did in his
01:29:08.280 tourism in england video
01:29:09.760 that's true
01:29:10.820 he was a white guy
01:29:11.640 yeah
01:29:11.980 so um
01:29:14.060 also andy king says
01:29:15.320 have to dip out of

01:29:37.640 spoken like a man
01:29:39.800 who's recently

01:29:43.800 a year ago now
01:29:44.720 but isn't enough
01:29:45.440 it sticks in your head
01:29:46.780 trust me
01:29:47.380 anyway
01:29:48.040 uh one last one
01:29:49.520 henry ashman

01:29:53.840 who was friends with wizards

01:30:04.540 quickly through
01:30:05.180 uh
01:30:05.820 the
01:30:06.180 hapsification
01:30:07.240 this is actually real
01:30:08.780 hamas uses condoms
01:30:09.700 they fill it up with helium
01:30:10.520 to carry bombs and incendiary
01:30:11.720 devices to use in israel

01:30:16.500 funding both sides of the war
