00:00:00.260
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the podcast of Lotus Eaters for Thursday the 30th of January 2025.
00:00:07.400
I'm joined by Beau and Nate from MrHReviews. Hello, how are you doing?
00:00:19.100
Not bad, you haven't got a tie, so it's not brilliant.
00:00:25.040
What I love about this is people are like, wow, you've got the real zealot of a convert.
00:00:31.800
But we're going to be talking, we've got some good news, actually.
00:00:34.700
We've got some good news, because Trump has been living up to his promises.
00:00:37.280
And I'm going to really enjoy going through it all.
00:00:39.960
Then we're going to be slaughtering some sacred cows.
00:00:45.480
Although that is just a metaphor, we will be going after the odd Indian.
00:00:51.000
But this isn't going to be an Indian-focused thing, so don't worry.
00:00:53.700
No, actual cows are going to be harmed due to the making of this segment.
00:00:59.580
And the final thing is we're going to talk about how our government is deliberately and willfully blind to our problems.
00:01:06.040
It's been done, as Keir Starmer pointed out, as on purpose.
00:01:13.300
So you may realize by now that we're quite ardent Trump supporters, right?
00:01:23.260
And if you're interested in seeing how much we love Trump, go to the website, watch our inauguration special, sign up for only £5 a month.
00:01:29.440
Support us, help us keep the lights on because, of course, be monetized on YouTube, blah, blah, blah.
00:01:33.280
And we are going to start looking at how Trump has not disappointed in the slightest.
00:01:39.780
In fact, Trump has massively overperformed, right?
00:01:44.320
Everyone was like, well, he was kind of wishy-washy in his first term, a bit naive, surrounded by enemies.
00:01:54.220
And Trump has come in like the proverbial bull in the China shop.
00:01:57.260
Weird amount of cow references in this podcast already.
00:02:01.820
Yeah, I did have a really well-seared, completely bland, well-cooked steak with ketchup the other day.
00:02:12.320
But anyway, Trump has come in like the proverbial bull in the China shop.
00:02:15.060
And he's been just demolishing his enemies and doing absolutely everything he said he was going to do.
00:02:23.600
One reference I thought of was when Churchill became prime minister in 1940.
00:02:28.640
When he came in in 1940, he already knew how government and how Whitehall worked.
00:02:35.340
He'd been in and around the game for half a lifetime already.
00:02:38.800
And he, all historians sort of agree, that he grasped Whitehall by the scruff of the collar.
00:02:47.080
He wouldn't take any crap from the establishment whatsoever.
00:02:59.860
It's not really too much of criticism because he'd never been in government before in 2016.
00:03:03.540
But this time around, Trump 2.0, he knows the deal.
00:03:07.300
He knows how the game works much, much more intimately.
00:03:15.540
These are our policies and it's going to happen.
00:03:22.040
I mean, one of the first things he did was put his Churchill bust back in the White House
00:03:25.320
that Joe Biden removed because Joe Biden hates Britain.
00:03:31.380
Trump is not taking anyone's, any resistance on deportations.
00:03:38.460
I appreciate that they took back that tough talk.
00:03:41.280
But, you know, we may have tough talk from others, but it's not going to mean anything.
00:03:45.160
They're going to all take them back and they're going to like it too.
00:03:48.540
They're going to take it back and they're going to like it.
00:03:55.600
Like, I want Trump to literally say, you're going to take it, you're going to like it and that's it.
00:04:02.820
It's a classic bully Big Brother thing, isn't it?
00:04:05.940
Like, you're hitting yourself in your face with your own hands.
00:04:10.940
No, you're going to sit there and eat your broccoli and like it, you know?
00:04:13.520
It's the, it's the, breaking the global status quo, finally.
00:04:18.160
Well, the Western global status quo, finally, finally, finally, finally, finally.
00:04:31.800
Well, it's, it's a, it's actually from an Al Jazeera show.
00:04:39.380
Not sure any country can, but Mexico can't cope with like a sudden influx of millions of people.
00:04:44.200
I mean, as much as she wants to embrace them, to use her word, when they come back and make them feel welcome.
00:04:49.860
It all sounds very nice when you're listening to it.
00:04:51.760
But the reality of that is, it's just completely unsustainable.
00:04:58.980
It's like, oh, well, America was taking millions of illegals across the Mexican border every year because of Joe Biden.
00:05:03.960
So you've just validated everything about Donald Trump's deportation policy.
00:05:19.500
And in many ways, you can actually argue that because Mexico's clearly lost control of vast swathes of its own territory to the cartels,
00:05:27.700
which Trump is probably going to declare war on in the next day or two and actually lead a military invasion, smash them, which Mexico couldn't do.
00:05:43.100
It could literally be tomorrow where he like, right, the thing's going and everyone's like, what really?
00:05:48.280
Well, I'm surprised it's not happened yet because there was reports that the cartels open fired on ice and died.
00:05:54.860
Well, it's only been like eight days or something.
00:05:57.640
So I am surprised that he actually hasn't done that yet.
00:06:08.460
I'm not a pro-war neocon type hawk person, generally speaking.
00:06:13.260
But I would love to see the US military deployed on some sort of large scale against those cartels.
00:06:27.020
Also, that argument she's making, Mexico can't deal with this influx of hundreds of thousands
00:06:31.740
That's the exact same argument that patriots in Germany and France and Britain have been making.
00:06:36.320
Don't give us 700,000 new people every year, year on year.
00:06:50.540
It's hard to believe that Mexico's Mexicans can't just come home and go back to their families.
00:06:55.640
They already have people they know and related to live there.
00:07:06.800
Apparently, Trump's decision sent about the Haitians is going to be quote-unquote ruinous,
00:07:10.880
which implies that Haiti has something to lose.
00:07:18.740
Maybe this is that famous general barbecue that I've heard so much about.
00:07:22.700
But the, again, Haitian leader, it doesn't, you know, he's not president, right?
00:07:29.800
So, anyway, the point being, well, if having Haitians in your country is ruinous for Haiti,
00:07:41.620
But don't worry, because what they're thinking is, hang on a second,
00:07:44.640
we exported the worst people in our society to the United States, right?
00:07:51.060
and we've not had to worry about tens of thousands of convicted criminals for years.
00:08:03.000
So, Trump, again, as the generous god emperor that he is,
00:08:06.860
he's not just going to saddle you with all of the worst criminals.
00:08:18.000
Even that, until I saw this, it hadn't even crossed my mind that that was something that could be doing.
00:08:29.660
They're going to jail forever in a foreign island in just a tiny little prison.
00:08:41.540
Can I just say for some people, because I know we've got a fair few Zoomers in our audience,
00:08:46.820
There's been a camp there, or a military base there for a long, long, long, long, long time.
00:08:53.840
But after 9-11, when they had a bunch of actual battlefield detainees and a bunch of al-Qaeda jihadis,
00:09:03.880
It was going to be very difficult in all sorts of legal reasons to prosecute them in Manhattan or whatever.
00:09:12.060
Just held them there for years and years and years.
00:09:15.180
So, anyway, it's sort of a badass, giant holding pen.
00:09:21.320
And there was always a sort of moral conundrum with that, right?
00:09:24.580
Because the United States goes to these countries, has now used extraordinary rendition to kidnap them
00:09:31.440
and hold them without charge or without rights, without any issues, in Guantanamo Bay.
00:09:40.340
Probably shouldn't have been in Iraq in the first place, but I guess we'll talk about that another time.
00:09:45.740
Because the United States didn't come to these people,
00:09:48.620
the 10,000 criminals, convicted murderers, who have been caught and released by U.S. border forces.
00:09:58.520
It's like, no, we didn't come to your country and kidnap you and put you in a cell.
00:10:02.020
You broke into our country, and now you're being punished for it.
00:10:06.180
So, there's a different moral dimension to this.
00:10:09.020
And we're not even, we, the Trump administration,
00:10:11.820
and we're not even happy with sending you back to your country,
00:10:15.000
because you may well just come straight back again.
00:10:18.840
These are the worst people, and they're not going to stay in their own countries.
00:10:21.460
We're going to put you in some sort of legal limbo, physical and legal limbo, indefinitely.
00:10:30.320
Because they've inserted themselves into the United States.
00:10:42.700
Especially as their own governments don't want them back anyway.
00:10:45.240
So, it's just like, okay, well, we've got to do something with these criminals.
00:10:47.900
That is morally the just thing to do for the American people.
00:10:51.280
And that's everything that Trump has been doing.
00:11:01.900
Which is why he has signed in his first act of legislation,
00:11:07.900
named after, of course, the young lady who was murdered by an illegal immigrant.
00:11:12.920
Again, the Gitmo thing is exactly the right thing to do,
00:11:21.500
The Lakin-Riley Act mandates the detention of undocumented immigrants
00:11:28.520
and allows state attorney generals to sue the federal government
00:11:32.960
if they believe the states have been harmed by its failure to enforce immigration laws.
00:11:40.940
So, that means that basically future Democrat regimes
00:11:51.880
You can't just, Joe Biden, allow the border to be wide open.
00:12:03.880
He's genuinely going above and beyond with all this.
00:12:06.060
So, let's move on, because Trump has just kept, there's just a cavalcade of brilliant stuff
00:12:11.580
that's just happening in America at the moment.
00:12:14.300
The next one is, of course, Trump's foreign aid funding freeze,
00:12:28.140
that is funded by this kind of international aid.
00:12:36.060
And so you had, like, woke prats on Twitter complain about it.
00:12:40.480
The Doze bros are bragging today they've got D.I. scholarships for Burma cancelled.
00:12:44.880
Yeah, so apparently the United States is spending $45 million a year
00:12:52.860
to help young people struggling for freedom in Burma's dictatorship.
00:12:58.520
How in any way does that benefit the American people?
00:13:05.460
And God knows how much of that actually arrives
00:13:10.480
This is one of the things about all of these things.
00:13:17.220
And so much of this money is just falling through it.
00:13:38.860
one of these international migrant aid organizations
00:13:53.480
Do they not realize that's directly against Gaza's religion?
00:13:58.220
But the point is, oh yes, it's only $7 million.
00:14:04.680
What a trifling amount of money to just piss down the drain.
00:14:08.540
The point is that what you would just make is that I feel like
00:14:15.740
That money ends up in someone else's pocket somewhere.
00:14:19.700
It's power and influence for the liberal international order.
00:14:24.360
Because all of the people who run these, you know,
00:14:27.680
quangos, these international aid organizations,
00:14:37.320
They're the sort of people who watched World War Z
00:14:41.800
I'm rooting for the international scientific consensus.
00:14:45.340
It's like, shut up, you absolute liberal globalist traitors.
00:14:57.880
Aren't you supposed to, how does that make any sense?
00:15:01.720
Well, they've got to siphon off that money somehow, haven't they?
00:15:05.840
So money's got to be accounted for somewhere along the line.
00:15:10.200
And the whole thing is to create this kind of, you know,
00:15:29.680
If your enemies are not wailing and gnashing their teeth,
00:15:34.880
You're not winning if you can go on Good Morning Britain
00:15:41.060
It's winning when the former president of Kenya has to stand up and go,
00:16:09.420
U.S. taxpayers have been funding nonsense all around the world.
00:16:20.960
Why are my people's money being spaffed up the wall in no man's land?
00:16:28.480
It's so good, not to relate it too close to the U.K. or anything,
00:16:32.560
but it's so good to see someone that just comes in and goes,
00:16:41.400
Don't just run with the status quo like every other bloody leader does
00:17:00.440
why are we sending millions and millions of pounds to India
00:17:16.140
It's like, well, we could use that money for hard power, actually.
00:17:18.960
And maybe we should instead of trying to bribe people.
00:17:22.220
But anyway, we've still got more to go through.
00:17:24.440
So Trump has been clearing out the federal bureaucracy, right?
00:17:31.740
For example, if you were the lawyers who engaged in the fraudulent investigation
00:17:41.340
which investigated his mishandling of classified documents,
00:17:53.460
He's fired a bunch of lawyers who investigated these criminal cases against him
00:17:57.500
because you deserve it because you're Democrats,
00:17:59.920
even though you will try and pretend you're Democrats.
00:18:19.680
Not flat jackets, but like body armour and guns and the whole nine yards.
00:18:23.720
Didn't raid Joe Biden for exactly the same reasons.
00:18:29.260
All presidents are allowed certain amounts of this stuff.
00:18:41.100
Don't know why you thought it wasn't coming, right?
00:18:44.180
Don't know why you thought you weren't getting this treatment.
00:18:48.720
Like, for example, there's union oversight committees and administrations
00:18:56.020
Because three leaders and various labor oversight boards and committees
00:19:05.880
And the thing is that this means that a lot of them are essentially paralyzed
00:19:08.160
because the leadership teams are made up of three people.
00:19:11.400
So if you fire one person from each team, they can't do anything.
00:19:14.920
So Trump's just neutralizing all of these Democrat-run institutions.
00:19:19.760
And all three who have been fired have been like,
00:19:21.720
Well, we're exploring our legal options against the administration.
00:19:23.840
If Trump, I'd be like, I'm going to make it legal, mate.
00:19:26.400
I'm going to literally reveal the law that you would use to challenge me, okay?
00:19:31.360
And legal scholars say, well, it could reach as far as the Supreme Court.
00:19:37.620
What do you think Clarence Thomas is going to say to that?
00:19:40.560
They've got, is it six or even seven of them are conservative?
00:19:43.480
So it should be a slam dunk every single time without fail, more or less.
00:19:48.400
It's great to see, though, how savvy he is now.
00:19:52.240
That he actually knows how, or at least has got people around him that say,
00:19:55.760
if you do exactly this, this, and this in that order, then we win.
00:20:02.080
Just green light it for us, Mr. Trump, Mr. President.
00:20:10.240
Because what this is, and there's a general tone to the Democrat administration, which
00:20:21.020
And this has been something that's been persistent throughout.
00:20:23.500
You've seen the confirmation hearings, which we're not going to cover today because it's
00:20:26.280
just too much, where it's shrieking women at the implacable face of some sort of middle-aged
00:20:31.540
man who's just, you know, now I've had enough of it.
00:20:34.760
Well, sometimes they're just like, no, I'm not leaving.
00:20:42.680
She was the Inspector General of the US Department of Agriculture.
00:21:08.760
Trump has fired 17 Inspector Generals at various government agencies.
00:21:14.580
Again, it's been like nine days, something like that, ten days.
00:21:17.860
And, yeah, so people were complaining, well, how could you physically remove this woman?
00:21:28.600
But the White House just said, well, these are rogue partisan bureaucrats and they've been
00:21:37.180
At a certain point, she's just trespassing anyway.
00:21:45.000
Why are you complaining about it from her place of work?
00:21:47.960
I wouldn't care if it took, like, four big, burly male nurses to strap her to a gurney and
00:21:55.100
I love the sort of, like, defiant look in the picture.
00:21:58.520
No, you're not justified in any way, shape or form and you're being physically removed.
00:22:05.640
So, apparently, Trump is just clearing up everything leftist in the federal bureaucracy.
00:22:11.860
So, here is a memo from the Defense Intelligence Agency.
00:22:17.180
That is just like, no, we're not having any of this nonsense, right?
00:22:20.040
The DIA will pause all activities and events related to agency special emphasis programs
00:22:26.920
Special observances hosted throughout the year by the command element, directorates and special
00:22:31.560
These include observances related to the following.
00:22:44.560
In May, again, Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month.
00:22:53.680
In September and October, National Hispanic Heritage Month.
00:23:00.280
We're not doing any of this gay leftist nonsense anymore.
00:23:13.620
I wake up and my Twitter timeline is all my mutuals going...
00:23:25.640
So, in this, Donald Trump has signed an executive order aimed at restricting gender-affirming
00:23:39.000
All he can do, well, executively, is, of course, make sure that federal funding is not put
00:23:45.180
towards any groups and institutions that do this.
00:23:52.000
He called on the Health and Human Services Secretary to take all appropriate actions to
00:23:55.560
end the chemical and surgical mutilation of children.
00:23:58.600
And, of course, the Democrats were like, no, that's how we recruit.
00:24:01.700
Quote, the order directs federally-run institutions' insurance programs to exclude coverage for
00:24:09.320
treatments for gender transition for minors, and it also aims to stop medical institutions
00:24:13.060
from receiving grants, federal grants, for providing such treatments.
00:24:17.100
More than 26 states have already implemented the restrictions on gender care for children
00:24:26.080
And the BBC did have to include, well, there's a reason for this.
00:24:30.720
Last year, a review of gender identity services for under-18s in England and Wales said that
00:24:34.680
children have been let down by a lack of research and remarkably weak evidence on medical interventions
00:24:42.880
Castrating children for ideological reasons has letting them down.
00:24:50.020
Quite clear experiment that should go down as a crime against humanity.
00:24:54.740
Yeah, it's going to be remembered like lobotomizing was remembered.
00:24:57.900
I think there's one thing, just to quickly say, sticking it to the lefties institutionally,
00:25:07.220
Like, this is doing away with something that's evil.
00:25:09.840
You should say an experiment, like an evil experiment.
00:25:13.600
And he's swept it away with the stroke of a pen.
00:25:18.280
This is not just pro-Trump partisanship for the sake of it, just to gloat and dunk on
00:25:28.420
It's the same with the deportations, though, with the Lake and Riling Act.
00:25:31.620
The reason that's named is because the legal is running around killing people in America.
00:25:35.640
It's not just partisan fun in the federal bureaucracy and stuff like this, as you say.
00:25:42.780
It's the morally and ethically correct thing to have done.
00:25:45.900
And the fact that this has been allowed to carry on for so long is going to be a black
00:25:55.160
It's people who look back on this and just go, what, what?
00:25:59.840
It'll be like thalidomide or like lobotomies or like any, you know, nonsense they did in
00:26:03.860
the 19th century where you're just like, what are you doing?
00:26:08.480
Child labouring factories where they die of accidents all the time.
00:26:13.400
And we'll be like, well, yeah, but like Posey Parker was removed from every platform
00:26:19.420
Like that was the moral hysteria from the left and the amount of control.
00:26:22.760
And anyway, so the final things has been the confirmation hearings, which have been going
00:26:30.700
But again, you can see the era of the hectoring middle-aged woman is kind of coming to an end.
00:26:37.380
And actually just saying no to them is really all you have to do to win in this particular
00:26:46.480
So you can just ignore these people and everything will go fine.
00:26:51.080
So anyway, looking forward to what Trump does tomorrow, frankly.
00:26:56.960
The way to defeat Elizabeth Warren is simply to be like, you just pipe down, love.
00:27:02.220
Well, that only works if you have the executive majority.
00:27:08.880
But when you do, you don't have to listen to them.
00:27:11.120
And they are getting very angry because, again, they wouldn't be acting like this if Trump
00:27:15.600
didn't represent an existential threat to the moral order of the world that they were promoting.
00:27:22.500
They are acting like this because they know they're losing.
00:27:25.340
New Omrile says, Guantanamo Bay has been used to house illegal aliens since 1991.
00:27:38.800
I think it's the Marine Corps have got a base on that.
00:27:46.200
And that was one of the things that Tulsi Gabbard and Tom Homan said in a press thing yesterday.
00:27:57.960
But it's been there for, it's already been, we're not.
00:28:04.440
And we're not even countenancing your complaints now.
00:28:11.620
Trump's cancelling of the illegal alien smuggling NCOs, like Catholic charities,
00:28:16.020
is the biggest blow to mass migration in the Western Hemisphere.
00:28:22.640
This is not, unfortunately, a comprehensive look at what Trump has done.
00:28:29.480
It seems the American legal system is based largely on English common law.
00:28:32.300
Are we in Britain capable of creating something similar to the Lake and Rally Act?
00:28:36.340
I mean, the Parliament, the interesting thing about Parliament is,
00:28:44.220
Because we don't have a hard written constitution like the United States.
00:28:47.780
The constitute, the, the, it is a legislative and constitutive body.
00:28:52.880
So it decides what the constitution is, as it legislates.
00:28:57.360
So it could literally do anything and we do nothing instead.
00:29:00.120
All you need is a government with a half decent majority to get through what they want to get through.
00:29:15.680
The average person doesn't hate Boris, which is really annoying.
00:29:18.840
All of the activists, Conservative activists hate Boris.
00:29:21.160
I noticed when I was in Reform, there were quite a few Reformers.
00:29:24.180
The type that, like Trigonometry or that sort of type.
00:29:45.940
So, OK, I thought today might be a good day to slay some sacred cows, to talk about some
00:29:53.120
of the quote-unquote heroes that the boomer truth regime have told you are great men.
00:30:10.660
Or today is the anniversary of the great Mahatma, Mahatma Gandhi's assassination.
00:30:19.320
Well, before we go on then, you mentioned Mr. Luther King.
00:30:23.680
What possible objection could you have to his personal conduct?
00:30:29.040
If we're going to judge people by the content of their character, let's talk about his
00:30:37.920
Let's start with MLK then, because one of the things that Trump did in his objective
00:30:41.620
world, I think on the first afternoon, was sign a thing to release files about the JFK,
00:30:48.400
In the MLK one, if we talk about MLK, it was less that I think there's revelations about
00:30:53.180
the details of his assassination, but rather just all sorts of details from the FBI largely
00:31:02.260
Now, one thing I would say here to start off with is that it's embarrassing both for the
00:31:08.980
memory of Martin Luther King and his estate, his surviving family, but also for the FBI.
00:31:14.240
I can see why the FBI wouldn't want it to come out, because both parties look bad, because
00:31:37.360
If you go to the next picture, it will show it a bit of a wider shot.
00:31:50.120
I've said before, one of the most incredible...
00:31:55.340
A genuine Gothic Abbey, one of the most precious architectural jewels that Britain has got.
00:32:01.160
It's far more important than St. Paul's Cathedral, far more important than the Palace of Westminster
00:32:10.920
And they put Martin Luther King up there on that.
00:32:15.560
Because that speech, most people would know his speech.
00:32:20.000
I'm completely in agreement with the moral principle he lays out.
00:32:22.760
Well, we should indeed judge people by the content of their character.
00:32:26.260
And so, if someone was like, you know, watching a girl getting raped and laughing about it,
00:32:30.080
I might be like, hmm, I have questions about the content of the character.
00:32:38.720
That was the first thing that sprung to my mind as a man of bad character.
00:32:42.180
One thing just before we get onto it, there's a link there about a bit of Lotus Eaters content that Harry and Connor did quite a while ago.
00:32:50.400
Harry's been blowing the whistle on this for a while now.
00:32:56.700
Harry's done a really in-depth thing that we're just skimming the surface.
00:33:01.000
And Connor made a good point on there, which I completely agree with.
00:33:03.360
He says, look, the I have a dream speech is good.
00:33:15.200
If you go and listen to the Unabridged thing, it is actually quite inspiring.
00:33:19.000
But so, that's sort of the peak, the pinnacle of people's knowledge of MLK.
00:33:25.500
Once you dig below that, it starts getting murky very quickly.
00:33:30.200
So, for the first thing to say, he was a hypocrite.
00:33:32.160
Because he was supposed to be this conservative Christian, let's say, a paragon of virtue and stuff.
00:33:40.680
Now, it's been known for decades, ever since the time, really, that he slept around.
00:33:46.080
That he was a philander, he was a cheater, an adulterer.
00:33:49.680
Yeah, he had one woman that he had a baby with, almost certainly.
00:33:53.140
And whenever he travelled around the country, he'd see her all the time.
00:33:56.020
And even the official biographers, the official biographers of Martin Luther King said that
00:34:00.640
in the few years before he was killed, he had probably somewhere in the region of
00:34:07.980
We now know it's more in the region of 40 to 45.
00:34:13.900
How many mistresses and bastard children do you have, Nate?
00:34:24.360
But juggling dozens and dozens of them, that's pathological.
00:34:40.740
So, on that content of character, Nate won Martin Luther King zero.
00:34:44.640
How he wasn't riddled with venereal disease, either.
00:35:03.460
I saw a story once, just a side note, of some adult who had many different families.
00:35:07.900
And he called all the kids the same name in the different families.
00:35:13.000
But he told all his daughters Louise or something.
00:35:21.660
So here's where there's a bit of a stain on the FBI.
00:35:23.760
Like, your private life should be your private life.
00:35:27.060
If you're doing nothing illegal, why would the police or the intelligence services be?
00:35:33.860
I mean, it's horrible to be an adulterer and a cheater, but it's not actually illegal.
00:35:38.520
So why are the FBI watching him and keeping tabs and counting all his mysteries and stuff?
00:35:49.020
Again, not necessarily illegal, especially if the women are prostitutes and they've been paid for and they're consented.
00:36:16.260
Do an eyes wide shut billionaire party count as an orgy.
00:36:22.100
Anyway, there's a quote here that King looked on and laughed as the pastor of Baltimore's
00:36:29.300
Cornerstone Baptist Church allegedly raped a woman in the Willard Hotel.
00:36:33.080
I believe the Willard Hotel was in Washington, D.C.
00:36:37.900
I can see why we've got a statue of him at Westminster.
00:36:40.940
So, that's criminal and obviously degenerate and disgusting and wrong.
00:36:45.300
But also, at the same time, you've got to say, like, how did the FBI know that?
00:36:51.840
Yeah, he was a communist revolutionary, basically.
00:36:54.620
Let's move on from the actual sort of private life stuff.
00:36:57.660
Also, he was, and this has been covered by all sorts of people over the years, just,
00:37:05.520
So, on some level, he's not just a hard, like, what, what, what, there.
00:37:10.460
So, on some level, he can't be a full-blown Marxist, a full-blown sort of Maoist, Stalinist
00:37:23.120
Well, lots of his political theory is just communist.
00:37:27.920
What's interesting is that the critical race theorists have been trying to square that
00:37:34.160
Basically, they view him as having a kind of Christian communism.
00:37:38.360
There's a synthesis between Marxist dialectics and Christian faith.
00:37:43.560
And so, they definitely claim him as one of their own.
00:37:49.920
He's saying, you know, things like, you have to just, like, the structural racism of whiteness
00:38:01.380
So, people think, they only think of the, I have a dream speech.
00:38:05.560
And everyone should be, all black people should be free and treated equally.
00:38:11.240
But actually, despised white culture and civilization and wanted to see it ripped down and destroyed
00:38:18.160
But the left would say, well, we agree with that.
00:38:20.900
So, we're not going to, it's about Martin Luther King.
00:38:22.700
But as Saul Alinsky pointed out, you've got to make them live up to their own rule book.
00:38:28.680
So, what I think that what we should do is propose that anyone who has not laughed at
00:38:34.040
a woman being raped is eligible to have a statue in Wetsmith, right?
00:38:38.120
Anyone who has can't have a statue of Wetsmith.
00:38:47.160
You know, if you're like, no, I'm a communist and I think that they should.
00:38:52.340
We can just remove any statues of people who have laughed at women being raped.
00:38:55.180
Not just in the abstract, but in the room while it was happening.
00:39:08.060
Not just in Westminster, but literally above the portal of Westminster Abbey.
00:39:14.620
There's various revelations about Martin Luther King.
00:39:18.120
It's just a bit deeper and worse than we thought.
00:39:24.300
We already knew, really, that they were going above and beyond their remit.
00:39:36.680
No, the FBI are responsible for more human misery than Dr. King ever was, in my opinion.
00:39:45.200
Although it is something we have to actually calculate, right?
00:39:48.780
The amount of human misery King caused is not nothing.
00:39:56.460
So, also, on this day in 1948, I thought, why are we sort of taking a pop at some of the
00:40:04.180
On this day in 1948, Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated.
00:40:07.920
We're told that he is some sort of paragon of virtue.
00:40:12.200
Oh, there's a statue that is in Parliament Square.
00:40:15.080
That is directly in front of, there's Teflon Dave, David Cameron on the second from left
00:40:26.020
Look, we have a statue of an Indian man who did nothing wrong ever.
00:40:44.860
He's definitely not someone who interfered with any children, do you think?
00:40:54.580
Well, he used to sleep in the same bed with his niece.
00:41:04.460
The angle was that he's demonstrating how great his self-control is.
00:41:11.100
By sleeping with her and not doing anything to her.
00:41:25.080
Do we think that he demonstrated that every single night?
00:41:35.540
That entire thing is predicated on the fact that...
00:41:39.000
If you didn't have self-control, you would just crack on with your family, mate.
00:41:52.120
There was already a big statue of Gandhi in London, but they needed another one in Parliament
00:42:07.900
You don't need to prove it by sleeping in the same bed.
00:42:24.240
Take his word that he's not a groomer, I guess.
00:42:28.560
One of the headlines about Gandhi is his principle of non-aggression, non-violence.
00:42:34.280
It didn't extend to his own family because he knocked his missus about.
00:42:39.600
If she got out of line, a little bit of the old Sean Connery treatment.
00:42:43.980
If a man beats a woman, we should never have a statue of him.
00:42:56.000
I mean, it's not like he beat her black and blue, but if she got out of hand...
00:42:59.200
He openly has said, yeah, I'll have to knock her down.
00:43:05.700
How many times have you done that to your wife?
00:43:09.260
Weirdly, I've never done that to my wife either.
00:43:20.820
These are the personal jibes, which are kind of a low blow,
00:43:23.740
although absolutely not insignificant in my mind,
00:43:25.780
if you're certainly going to put statues up to people.
00:43:29.640
I mean, his doctrine of non-aggression was, to the point in my mind,
00:43:34.680
of most people's minds, unless you're a pacifist,
00:43:46.540
but the Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher's knife.
00:44:00.720
But, yeah, so the thing of non-aggression is...
00:44:07.280
If someone's been aggressive towards you, that's fine.
00:44:14.080
because he lived, obviously, through the war years.
00:44:20.000
Britain's struggle against the Nazis during World War II.
00:44:26.660
I would like you to lay down your arms that you have
00:44:34.060
You will invite Herr Hitler and Signor Mussolini
00:44:38.920
in your beautiful island with your beautiful buildings.
00:44:47.940
you will allow yourself, man, woman, and child,
00:45:27.160
I don't really want any more statues of this guy.
00:45:44.420
We've got to offer ourselves up to the fascists.
00:45:46.120
It's obviously because he just wants us to lose
00:45:57.500
there is one good thing I would say about Gandhi
00:46:04.980
I don't want to be ruled by Indians in England.
