The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters #1183

00:00:00.080 If the mechanical world is just that mechanical, how does it become transcendent?

00:00:07.280 Galileo, Boyle, Newton and many others saw themselves as recovering this lost wisdom.

00:00:13.840 Technology had sufficiently progressed to reveal that mankind and the earth he inhabited

00:00:19.120 was not actually the centre of the universe. It threatened to upend their entire body of

00:00:24.320 cosmological knowledge. The process of distinguishing science from superstition had begun, and the great

00:00:30.960 minds of the era dedicated themselves to this work.

00:00:42.960 Podcast of The Lotus Eaters, episode 1183. I'm joined by Bo.

00:00:49.200 Karaz. And apparently we're going to be talking about the clash between Elon and the Donald.

00:00:56.000 Now, London house prices are crashing and what women in the West have to look forward to. So,

00:01:02.240 you know, look forward to that. Right. So, um, there's you.

00:01:07.120 Okay. I thought we could just talk a little bit then about The Clash of the Titans.

00:01:11.280 Oh, yes.

00:01:12.480 There's sort of epic fallout between the Donald and good King Elon.

00:01:18.080 It did escalate quite fast.

00:01:20.960 Yeah. It got real serious real quick, didn't it?

00:01:23.040 Yes.

00:01:23.360 It was funny. And it was, it was, uh, I mean, it's only been going for what, a week, maybe a bit,

00:01:27.120 a bit more than a week. Um, I'm actually glad we didn't cover it immediately.

00:01:32.080 A bit like the Zia Yusuf thing. Let it, let it sort of simmer for a few days.

00:01:35.920 I did on the Daily channel, but yeah, we're, we're, we're a bit more thoughtful here on the

00:01:39.440 podcast channel. But I mean, it was, it was like, you know, obviously there was some disagreement

00:01:44.000 over the spending. And then like in one afternoon, it went straight to, you're a pedo and you're a

00:01:49.040 Nazi.

00:01:49.440 Yeah. Yeah.

00:01:50.880 Okay.

00:01:51.760 You're a drug, druggy. The ketamine thrown in, wasn't there?

00:01:54.880 Yes. Yes. Although not by, not, not by Donald himself.

00:01:58.080 Oh, he probably briefed it to someone.

00:02:00.720 I don't know. I don't know.

00:02:02.160 Donald did the Nazi thing. Did he all, maybe that was a, the problem is as soon as something

00:02:06.800 like this happens, everybody starts making fake, fake, um, truth posts.

00:02:10.640 Yes, yes.

00:02:11.280 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:02:12.480 And then you have no idea which one is real.

00:02:14.800 Yeah.

00:02:15.280 Uh, the ketamine stuff seems to be confirmed and seems to be prescription based,

00:02:20.400 but it does have side effects, shall we say.

00:02:23.760 Um, but he's been quite successful. So if ketamine does that.

00:02:28.480 Yeah.

00:02:30.080 I mean, like maybe I should try some.

00:02:32.320 According to the Washington Post, uh, Adderall is also a mix into it.

00:02:36.560 So.

00:02:37.040 That was what M. Bankman-Fried was, Fried was on.

00:02:39.760 Is that Sam Bankman-Fried?

00:02:40.720 Uh, yes. And many others who have to focus for a pretty long time and struggle with it. And

00:02:47.280 then they end up using, uh, Adderall to help them do that.

00:02:51.680 I cannot pay attention to anything longer than about half an hour.

00:02:53.840 What is Adderall? We don't really have it in Britain. I've never, what actually is it?

00:02:58.000 Adderall is usually used to treat, uh, attention deficit disorder or attention deficit and hyperactivity

00:03:04.160 disorder.

00:03:05.440 And it's a pill.

00:03:06.560 It's a pill.

00:03:07.920 And it's also very frequently used by students who are cramming for exams and things like that.

00:03:14.640 Um, it's used by a lot of lawyers as a sort of downgraded cocaine, shall we say.

00:03:20.160 Um, so it's.

00:03:21.120 Surely lawyers can afford cocaine.

00:03:22.560 Yes, yes.

00:03:23.600 But there are other consequences.

00:03:25.520 And it seems that the consequences of Adderall are less severe than the consequences of cocaine.

00:03:29.520 Um, so you see, I mean, you know, John Kennedy was, I believe on methamphetamines, uh, and you had,

00:03:41.600 you have a history of drug use, not just from, uh, what's his name, Hunter Biden and the White House,

00:03:48.000 but there is a certain history of the use of drugs among high performing people in order to

00:03:55.520 enhance their performance and keep them going for longer.

00:03:58.160 So ketamine is not performance enhancing.

00:04:01.120 It's not supposed to be at least.

00:04:02.560 Um, but when these drugs are mixed, nobody knows what exactly the total effect is.

00:04:11.840 Right.

00:04:12.160 Um, you call the world's most powerful man a pedo.

00:04:15.680 Say again?

00:04:16.080 You call the world's most powerful man a pedo.

00:04:18.640 Hey, if you need an excuse to call the world's most powerful man a pedo, then saying I was on drugs

00:04:25.040 is probably a good one.

00:04:26.160 Yes.

00:04:26.640 So if you, if you need to climb back, if you, if you need to sort of backtrack a little bit,

00:04:31.600 then yeah.

00:04:32.800 Okay.

00:04:33.200 I was on drugs.

00:04:34.080 Sorry.

00:04:34.480 One quick note.

00:04:35.280 I will say John Kennedy was in extreme amounts of pain.

00:04:38.000 I think he's on all sorts of different drugs, but because he was wounded during the war and,

00:04:43.040 um, was actually in all sorts of pain.

00:04:46.000 Uh, but anyway, that's a side note.

00:04:47.280 That's a side note.

00:04:47.920 Um, so yeah, this, this class of retires, it all, it fell out pretty quick, didn't it?

00:04:52.880 Um, and, uh, cause we haven't talked about it on the podcast yet.

00:04:56.080 I thought it is sort of worthy of note.

00:04:57.680 Um, it's all the, uh, the mainstream media were, or there's your, was this your, it was a daily

00:05:04.000 video.

00:05:04.320 Yeah.

00:05:04.640 Your daily video, which was, I thought was very good, very interesting.

00:05:07.760 Um, but all the mainstream media sort of been commenting on it.

00:05:11.280 Um, so nice picture from the BBC.

00:05:14.960 And there's lots of, uh, there are a few different angles to sort of, uh, take into

00:05:19.520 account whether it's sort of truly just about politics, about the future of America, about the

00:05:25.600 deficit, about the economy, or whether there's sort of a personality clash, whether Elon was

00:05:32.000 always going to have left the Trump administration around this time anyway, whether it's a mountain

00:05:37.120 out of a molehill, it's not really anything, it's actually a nothing burger, or whether

00:05:40.960 it's actually a big deal or not.

00:05:43.120 There's just a few different takes on it.

00:05:45.280 So I just thought we could talk about that a little bit.

00:05:46.960 Um, so one of the things I would say, one of the first things I would say is that, um,

00:05:52.480 you've got Elon, the world's richest man, perhaps one of the richest men ever to have

00:05:57.200 lived, sort of up there with John D. Rockefeller and Crassus, um, the most followed man of all

00:06:02.560 time, right?

00:06:04.000 Yes.

00:06:04.720 Uh, more eyes on him and what he says than anyone who has ever lived.

00:06:08.800 Yes.

00:06:09.680 Um, and so.

00:06:10.400 If you ever get retweeted by him, your replies just completely blow up.

00:06:14.300 If he follows you.

00:06:15.500 Yeah.

00:06:15.720 You've made it.

00:06:18.760 Um, yeah, um, uh, but still as powerful quote unquote as Elon is, is no match in terms of

00:06:27.320 pure power for the president of the United States.

00:06:29.400 Yes.

00:06:30.600 Again, as powerful as Elon is, you go one-on-one head-to-head lock horns with the Donald whilst

00:06:35.480 he's in the big chair in the Oval Office, you're not going to win.

00:06:39.800 Although Elon did point out he's here for four years and I'm here for 40 years.

00:06:43.720 Well, that's the next thing, that's the next thing.

00:06:45.800 Elon's going to be around long after Trump's gone, not just out of office, but once Trump's

00:06:50.120 dead, I imagine Elon's going to be around for decades more.

00:06:52.760 So Elon can bide his time, if anything, wait it out.

00:06:56.600 I think they'll make up.

00:06:58.520 Well, so that was, that was one of the things you think they will, I feel like there's no

00:07:01.880 way back.

00:07:02.200 I feel like he burned all these bridges.

00:07:04.040 You bring up the Epstein stuff and whether he's deleted those tweets or not, we'll talk

00:07:07.080 about that in a moment.

00:07:07.720 Yeah.

00:07:08.760 Burning a bridge though, Trump doesn't usually forgive.

00:07:12.200 Well, sometimes he does, doesn't he?

00:07:13.320 But they kind of, they kind of need each other sometimes.

00:07:15.400 He does sometimes.

00:07:16.920 I feel like if you personally insult the man, he's like, you're out.

00:07:20.360 So he's reconciled.

00:07:21.320 Take Marco Rubio as a prime example.

00:07:23.320 Good example of when he did.

00:07:24.600 Ted Cruz, a bunch of the others who sort of tried to disrupt the 2015, 2016 campaign.

00:07:30.600 He's reconciled with the vast majority of them.

00:07:32.520 That's true.

00:07:34.840 He, and they exchanged pretty nasty insults and Ted Cruz refused to endorse him.

00:07:39.560 Uh, they still managed to make up.

00:07:42.440 I think the Epstein thing was definitely a line, shall we say, definitely a very serious

00:07:48.680 line.

00:07:49.560 But, um, what I found strange was that Trump wasn't anywhere near as vicious as he could

00:07:55.880 be.

00:07:57.320 We've seen Trump be extremely vicious and he didn't really go that far against Elon.

00:08:05.720 Well, he doesn't want to have to send his astronauts into space using Russian launchers.

00:08:10.120 Which is one complicating factor.

00:08:12.280 They both need each other, really.

00:08:14.120 I mean, well, I mean, perhaps need is a bit strong, but they're both stronger together,

00:08:19.240 aren't they?

00:08:19.640 Oh yeah.

00:08:19.960 It's, it's, it's much better having these two work together.

00:08:22.520 And actually, I mean, the, the issue that they fell out over, Trump was trying to make

00:08:26.760 the best deal he could, but Elon is right.

00:08:29.240 The US needs to drastically cut its spending.

00:08:31.880 Okay.

00:08:32.440 So let's start there.

00:08:33.560 So it started with this, this one big, beautiful bill where the debt ceiling is going to be

00:08:38.920 raised.

00:08:39.240 Elon even tweeted that it's being raised more than ever before.

00:08:42.360 Yes.

00:08:43.000 And that's something Elon despises.

00:08:45.320 Yes.

00:08:46.280 And he's right to.

00:08:47.080 And that Trump was going to lower taxes and there's arguments to be made whether that-

00:08:53.160 Oh, that's fair enough.

00:08:53.720 Whether that actually increases tax revenue or not.

00:08:57.240 Like some people think, oh, you raise taxes, you make more, the exchequer, the treasury makes

00:09:01.800 more money.

00:09:02.200 Well, not necessarily.

00:09:03.240 Over the long term, it definitely does, but not immediately.

00:09:07.560 Right.

00:09:07.880 And everything is on such a short time scale.

00:09:11.000 You've just got to get through the next bond issuance that actually the next couple of months

00:09:15.320 is kind of what matters.

00:09:16.520 Right.

00:09:17.080 That's really the fundamental problem that American politics is geared especially towards

00:09:22.600 the short term because every two years there's an election and halfway through your existing

00:09:30.360 term, you have to begin campaigning for the next one.

00:09:33.880 And this imposes a degree of short termism that is very, very destructive.

00:09:38.600 The other side of the story is that some of the math around what's happening to the deficit and what will happen as a result of this bill is suspect because it starts with the assumption that the taxes that the tax reductions that happened in Trump's first term were going to be removed anyway.

00:09:58.360 Yes.

00:09:59.360 That they would be raised back because it was a temporary reduction, whereas now they're being made permanent.

00:10:06.440 So new legislation would have to come in order to raise taxes again.

00:10:11.000 So which base do you count from?

00:10:13.640 That's one complicating factor.

00:10:15.560 The other one is the assumptions around growth.

00:10:18.400 If you succeed dramatically in cutting regulation and in reducing taxes, does the ensuing growth result in, yes, a higher total debt, but a reduction in the relative value of the debt against GDP, which is the metric that actually counts,

00:10:35.460 not the total dollar amount, but debt versus GDP.

00:10:40.020 Well, the direction of the deficit is what's key there.

00:10:42.180 And the direction of the deficit is key there, as is the amount of growth.

00:10:47.700 So the broadest point here is that they disagreed fundamentally on the direction of the U.S. economy, essentially, or what is to be done.

00:10:57.580 I mean, they both agree that you want to reduce debt, but how to go about doing it?

00:11:01.840 They're disagreeing on that.

00:11:02.880 Well, I think they might agree on that.

00:11:05.260 I think Trump came in from the point of view is, look, I can't whip Democrats.

00:11:09.520 This is the best deal that I can do.

00:11:11.380 And it's not just Democrats.

00:11:13.400 He's got a whole bunch of establishment politicians who are like, give me my pork.

00:11:18.220 Yes.

00:11:18.520 I want my pork.

00:11:19.600 Whereas Elon is like, no, I don't care.

00:11:22.140 You should have found a way to make it better.

00:11:24.420 Which was never politically viable without them reaching the threshold of 60 senators in order to defeat the filibuster.

00:11:32.020 Yes.

00:11:32.660 Although, interestingly, now the Senate is working on a version of this bill, which is going to be significantly better, and then try and send that back to the House.

00:11:41.460 There is that.

00:11:42.100 Right.

00:11:42.240 So, we'll see how this plays out.

00:11:45.180 But I think the core of the argument was, on Trump's part, political realism and priorities.

00:11:51.800 The priority being the deficit is secondary to the immigration questions and is secondary to the fulfillment of the Trump agenda.

00:12:01.740 And if these promises are fulfilled, then we're in a better position to tackle the deficit and the debt.

00:12:08.620 Whereas Trump's position was, no, we should focus on this now and to the exclusion of political reality and other priorities.

00:12:18.540 This is what it broke down to, the tech bros versus MAGA.

00:12:23.560 And you could argue that the tech bros versus MAGA was always a break that was going to happen at some point.

00:12:28.760 Because one of them is nationalist and one of them is, bring as many Indian developers as I need.

00:12:36.920 And so, that clash was inevitable.

00:12:39.440 And we saw the first shots fired over Christmas, 2024, where you had Trump, where you had Musk arguing for endless migration, essentially.

00:12:50.940 H-1B, whatever it was.

00:12:52.480 Endless H-1Bs.

00:12:54.460 Whereas the nationalist wing, the MAGA wing, was saying, hold on a second, we don't care.

00:12:59.880 You will have to train them here and pay them American salaries rather than use migration to depress wages.

00:13:05.540 You're rich enough to afford higher salaries.

00:13:09.440 Yeah, I mean, so, I suppose, again, just broadly speaking, they've got a different view of how to go about saving America, basically.

00:13:18.900 Yeah.

00:13:20.500 They're both trying to achieve the same thing.

00:13:22.100 Well, yeah, in the end.

00:13:23.460 The good point you made, I think the key point in your daily video, was that America's debt now is something about 37 trillion, I think now.

00:13:35.380 Yeah, it's about 100% of GDP.

00:13:36.720 Which is just an absurd number.

00:13:38.300 We've done content on this before.

00:13:39.800 Yeah.

00:13:39.980 It's just a crazy, crazy, insane number, sort of barely got any bearing on reality, almost.

00:13:45.940 It's such an insane number.

00:13:47.760 And that, as you said, it just, it will come to a head.

00:13:52.600 It just will come to a head.

00:13:53.540 Oh, yeah, it's a mathematical certainty.

00:13:54.420 Right.

00:13:54.900 There's the 07, 08 credit crunch.

00:13:57.300 I hate that phrase, but everyone knows what we're talking about when that happened.

00:14:00.100 And it was moved on to sort of sovereign debt.

00:14:02.200 It's moved away from sort of banks in various senses.

00:14:05.220 Yeah, there's nowhere else for it to go.

00:14:06.720 There's nowhere else for it to go.

00:14:07.740 So when it explodes in codes next time, there's no can, there's no road left to kick the can into.

00:14:16.500 So it will be really terrible next time.

00:14:18.580 And Elon, well, they're both interested in dealing with it just in different ways.

00:14:23.800 Or I feel like Elon's view is sort of a bit more immediate.

00:14:28.140 Like, we have to do extremely painful things right now.

00:14:33.600 Like, stop doing the debt ceiling thing.

00:14:36.180 Now, tighten our belts.

00:14:37.760 Well, the thing is, we don't know.

00:14:38.820 And Trump's more like, no, we can't do that.

00:14:41.460 I haven't got the numbers in the Senate, at least, to do that.

00:14:44.260 So we've got to do this instead.

00:14:45.860 We don't know when the next great financial crash is.

00:14:48.460 You said it could be a few months, could be nine years.

00:14:50.560 If it's in, let's say, it's over five years away, then, yeah, Trump's right.

00:14:55.220 Let's just make the best deal you can and edge towards it.

00:14:58.000 But if it happens in 18 months' time, we'll look back at this and we'll be like,

00:15:01.780 oh, why didn't we do what Elon said while we still have the choice to make the cuts voluntarily?

00:15:07.000 Let me tell you what the worst part is.

00:15:09.440 The worst part is that with the rioting that you're seeing, which we covered yesterday,

00:15:14.520 and with the cultural conflict that you're seeing that's sort of happening in the U.S.

00:15:19.920 between the left and the right, that ends up impacting the market's perceptions of American stability

00:15:28.880 and therefore has an impact on sentiment and debt markets.

00:15:34.440 I think bond traders are smart enough to see that they're not getting paid anyway.

00:15:38.440 Hold on.

00:15:38.960 The flip side of it, no, they all assume that they are getting paid.

00:15:41.940 The flip side of it is that if you do impose the kind of austerity that is required,

00:15:50.420 that too can trigger unrest.

00:15:52.720 But then the unrest happens in a political climate that's less favorable to the MAGA movement.

00:16:00.060 So there is a sort of, the politics and the economics move in tandem,

00:16:04.900 or there is a relationship between how they move.

00:16:08.620 And any kind of major destabilizing political event does have an impact on markets.

00:16:17.000 The question is, do you choose the political event to be one that is based on your agenda,

00:16:22.640 where you get to set the tone of the debate and decide the narrative, which is what's happened?

00:16:27.960 Or does it happen because you got into power and the first thing that you did was impose austerity,

00:16:33.820 including on your own base?

00:16:36.800 That's the other side of this debate.

00:16:41.600 And my sense is that Musk is missing that perspective.

00:16:46.520 Yeah, no, I mean, absolutely.

00:16:50.460 I don't know if the recent unrest in LA, I don't feel like Trump or Trump's team,

00:16:55.980 the White House, was sort of playing 4-5-D chess where they,

00:16:59.520 because they sent like ice guys into trying to arrest 35 people and it turned into this.

00:17:04.700 I don't think they could have seen that coming necessarily.

00:17:08.260 I've been writing that a big wave of protests is coming no matter what.

00:17:13.720 If you promise mass deportations, you must expect protests to come on the back of it.

00:17:19.360 And now the Democrats have promised that on the 14th of June,

00:17:22.520 they are going to massively escalate their protests.

00:17:25.120 I've saw that, yeah.

00:17:26.660 The thing is, these people protest and burn stuff down anyway.

00:17:30.520 It would have been something else.

00:17:32.120 But they're using it for a political purpose.

00:17:32.940 It would have been another criminal who had given himself a drug overdose in the vicinity of the police

00:17:36.740 and that would have kicked it off.

00:17:37.680 These people are just scum.

00:17:39.280 Yes, yes.

00:17:40.040 So a bit of the tweet back of all, back in the days when Elon was super pro-Trump

00:17:44.440 and there's pictures out there of Trump playing with his kids, Elon's kids.

00:17:50.240 Right.

00:17:50.640 It's like, would you have done that if you thought he was an actual pedophile,

00:17:54.320 if he was actually a sex criminal?

00:17:56.600 I've seen files, yeah.

00:17:58.020 And if you really thought he had questions to answer over sex crime,

00:18:04.260 why do you only bring that up after you've fallen out politically?

00:18:06.740 So it all rings a bit hollow.

00:18:09.260 But I do feel like, of the two, it was Elon that sort of spat his dummy out.

00:18:14.180 It was Elon that sort of, it was Elon that turned his back first.

00:18:18.140 Yes.

00:18:20.240 Which is, yeah, unfortunately, I guess he'll...

00:18:22.120 Trump was definitely trying to give Musk a good exit.

00:18:24.760 And he was definitely trying to keep the relationship as best as possible.

00:18:29.560 And he didn't escalate against Musk anywhere near as much the other way.

00:18:38.440 And you're quite right at the beginning.

00:18:39.680 Trump could have gone through his throat.

00:18:42.720 Yes.

00:18:43.360 Just in terms of tweets.

00:18:45.040 And didn't, doesn't seem to have done.

00:18:47.240 There's also the angle.

00:18:48.420 There are multiple angles if you look for them.

00:18:50.700 The angle of Tesla and EVs and taxes on EV.

00:18:56.140 You know, some people are saying that Elon's all pissed off

00:18:59.240 because Trump's basically hurting Tesla.

00:19:02.700 He's been on the record for years saying that you should get rid of the subsidies.

00:19:06.260 So that's, yeah, that's true.

00:19:08.540 Yeah.

00:19:09.220 The Guardian, obviously, all lefties really loving it.

00:19:13.360 Absolutely loving that the bromance is over.

00:19:15.860 Yeah, because it was such a dangerous team-up against them.

00:19:20.660 Yes.

00:19:21.560 I don't blame them.

00:19:22.420 I mean, both sides are guilty of it.

00:19:23.600 I'm guilty of it.

00:19:24.500 When the left suffers some sort of big defeat, you know, like Kamala losing,

00:19:28.900 you're going to rub it in a bit, right?

00:19:31.380 You're going to gloat a bit.

00:19:32.380 You're going to have a wry chuckle.

00:19:34.040 I don't really blame them for it.

00:19:35.720 It's just how the world is, isn't it?

00:19:38.640 There was one of your tweets.

00:19:41.140 It seems like now he's deleted a bunch of, Elon has deleted some of the tweets.

00:19:49.980 So some are saying, maybe it's true, that he's sort of trying to gear up for a reproach more,

00:19:56.000 whether Trump's people and Elon's people have got together and said,

00:19:58.720 look, dial this down.

00:20:00.800 Let's try and walk it back a bit.

00:20:03.200 And, you know, let's not be actual diehard enemies for the next three and a half years or whatever it is.

00:20:08.660 It makes sense for both of them to do that.

00:20:09.840 X is a very important weapon when it comes to regime change operations.

00:20:15.600 This has to be accepted as being a part of it.

00:20:18.960 And so the state needs X.

00:20:23.000 If you want to repurpose the deep state and the ability of the deep state to affect regime change,

00:20:27.240 you need Elon on side, unless you're willing to go Chinese and expropriate him or lock him up or something like that.

00:20:34.020 Yes.

00:20:35.140 So there are these realities here.

00:20:39.640 And at the same time, without government contracts,

00:20:42.740 all of Musk's other businesses, especially SpaceX, face some complications at least.

00:20:48.420 And the national security part of the establishment that uses SpaceX and the satellite network that he's building,

00:20:57.940 these guys want to make sure that Musk is on side.

00:21:02.100 Absolutely.

00:21:03.040 But they also don't particularly like Trump either.

00:21:06.680 So that there are these layers there in this debate and this conversation that are.

00:21:13.160 Absolutely.

00:21:13.880 The other angle is the space thing.

00:21:15.300 You mentioned it.

00:21:16.280 You've just mentioned it there.

00:21:17.140 Yeah, that SpaceX is, it's more than just a billionaire's play thing.

00:21:21.680 Yes.

00:21:22.100 Yes.

00:21:22.260 It's more than just like one of Elon's toys.

00:21:25.400 Yes.

00:21:26.000 Right.

00:21:26.420 It's actually being used instead of NASA to ferry material and people into space now.

00:21:33.020 You can't use the Russian Soyuz forever.

00:21:35.840 No.

00:21:36.280 Especially if they want to start putting weapons.

00:21:37.860 And there's no shuttle program.

00:21:39.020 NASA's got no shuttle program.

00:21:40.220 So if they want to start putting weapon systems up into orbit,

00:21:42.980 which we're probably very close to being at the point we want to do.

00:21:46.180 Are you going to ask the Russians to take them up for?

00:21:48.680 Yeah, right.

00:21:49.580 Yeah.

00:21:50.260 I mean, they need each other.

00:21:51.760 Then there's Starlink.

00:21:52.860 Starlink's an important thing now.

00:21:54.360 Really important.

00:21:54.900 Ukraine, war can't operate without Starlink.

00:21:56.960 Right.

00:21:57.780 I mean, the American military establishment still dominates or is GPS, right?

00:22:03.940 They still...

00:22:04.920 Which is a key thing.

00:22:07.260 But yeah, I mean, this was a funny meme, I just thought.

00:22:10.700 Which Elon posted, didn't he?

00:22:11.880 Yeah.

00:22:12.380 I could see why Elon's...

00:22:14.840 It's easy for me to say sitting here where I haven't really got a dog in the fight.

00:22:17.860 But I can see why Elon was so pissed.

00:22:20.460 Yeah.

00:22:20.600 But I don't really see why he went full-blown crazy, like bringing up Epstein and stuff.

00:22:27.840 Yeah.

00:22:28.000 Because now I don't know.

00:22:28.860 No one really knows, do they?

00:22:29.860 No one else was in the files.

00:22:30.300 Unless you were there when it was in the files.

00:22:32.200 But we do know there is clips, aren't there, of Trump and Epstein together.

00:22:36.900 Then there's a picture of Elon standing next to Ghislaine at a party.

00:22:41.280 Just because you met Jeffrey Epstein or even knew him doesn't necessarily mean you're guilty of any crime.

00:22:48.600 Loads of people that are clean knew Epstein or even went to the island.

00:22:53.320 Like Stephen Hawkins went to the island, didn't he?

00:22:56.100 He was always suspect.

00:22:56.800 One of the Weinstein brothers went for dinner or something at Epstein's house.

00:23:00.000 It doesn't necessarily mean you did any sex crime.

00:23:04.520 However...

00:23:05.120 That Stephen Hawkins was a raging sex pest.

00:23:07.700 Maybe he was, I don't know.

00:23:08.700 Yeah, who knows?

00:23:10.000 Yeah.

00:23:10.860 I mean, I doubt it, right?

00:23:12.160 That's sort of the point I'm making, I doubt it.

00:23:13.900 But, yeah, so, I mean, we're going to make the segment slightly shorter today.

00:23:20.280 But I wonder where it will go.

00:23:21.700 I mean, as an Englishman, albeit an Anglo-Englishman, my father is American.

00:23:29.220 I've got loads of cousins in America.

00:23:31.420 I still find it a little bit funny.

00:23:33.800 It's both disappointing that they've fallen out with each other.

00:23:37.140 Also, a little bit funny.

00:23:39.020 Oh, it's definitely funny.

00:23:39.980 I mean, true MAGA fans, diehard Elon fans, will be annoyed, probably be annoyed at me saying that.

00:23:45.700 It's not funny.

00:23:46.720 It's not funny.

00:23:47.500 It's deadly serious.

00:23:48.380 But it's kind of funny.

00:23:50.060 I'm a fan of both of them.

00:23:50.760 And I want them to, you know, make up.

00:23:53.900 I just feel like too many bridges have been burnt, certainly from Elon's side.

00:23:57.360 Yeah.

00:23:58.020 For them to have really make up.

00:24:00.240 I think the direction as things currently stand is that they're going to probably end up making up.

00:24:09.000 And I think that this is still within the recoverable range.

00:24:12.920 You think so?

00:24:13.500 Yeah, I think it's still within the recoverable range.

00:24:18.640 There are too many codependencies associated.

00:24:22.480 Like, they are dependent on each other in all kinds of ways.

00:24:25.840 Yeah.

00:24:26.540 No, you're right.

00:24:27.400 You're right.

00:24:28.900 So, okay.

00:24:29.620 There are lots more angles that probably could be talked about this.

00:24:32.080 And we'll sort of see how it plays out.

00:24:34.440 Yeah.

00:24:34.760 I suppose.

00:24:37.000 All right.

00:24:37.560 I'll leave it there for today.

00:24:38.740 Very good.

00:24:39.840 You want to read a couple of the comments or shall we go straight?

00:24:42.480 Oh, we'll do a couple of them.

00:24:44.920 Matty Gammon says,

00:24:46.460 Not exactly.

00:25:13.940 Not exactly.

00:25:16.120 He's less a lot.

00:25:17.940 The reason why SpaceX gets a lot of subsidies is because the government uses it a lot.

00:25:21.880 Yeah.

00:25:22.300 If you call it a subsidy.

00:25:23.480 A lot of people say,

00:25:24.160 I did a tweet when it first sort of started blowing up saying,

00:25:26.720 if I had to choose a side,

00:25:28.900 like Team Musk or Team Trump,

00:25:31.720 like it's a soap opera.

00:25:33.680 Yeah.

00:25:34.580 I said,

00:25:35.400 it was close in my mind,

00:25:36.920 but I guess I'll go for Elon.

00:25:38.680 And a lot of people on Twitter were like,

00:25:40.360 really?

00:25:41.320 You're forgetting the H1B thing?

00:25:43.700 Yeah.

00:25:44.240 But like Trump's pretty much a globalist in all sorts of ways as well.

00:25:48.380 It's not like he's.

00:25:48.920 I'd probably make the same call,

00:25:50.780 but I wouldn't like it.

00:25:51.520 I'd rather pick neither or both.

00:25:53.220 Well,

00:25:53.620 yeah,

00:25:53.840 the best answer is neither.

00:25:55.900 Definitely with Trump.

00:25:56.820 The thing is,

00:25:58.720 the guy that's sitting in the Oval Office has got real,

00:26:02.040 real power.

00:26:03.160 Yeah.

00:26:03.500 Real power.

00:26:04.600 Well,

00:26:04.780 at the end of the day,

00:26:05.640 he's got tank divisions and the Marine Corps and fast jets,

00:26:10.540 ultimately,

00:26:11.300 and nukes,

00:26:12.060 a button to do nukes.

00:26:13.260 Elon hasn't got any of that stuff.

00:26:14.880 Not that I'm saying Trump would declare war on Elon.

00:26:19.160 I'm not saying that.

00:26:20.280 Elon needs a billionaire's island shaped like a skull with a giant laser in it.

00:26:23.600 That's what I'm saying.

00:26:24.840 It needs its own strategic defense system as well,

00:26:28.060 because Trump could just nuke it if he wanted to.

00:26:33.120 Not that I'm saying he would.

00:26:34.400 I mean,

00:26:34.660 that's crazy.

00:26:35.200 I'm not saying that.

00:26:36.280 Moving to our next topic,

00:26:38.600 but before that,

00:26:39.560 I just want to mention again the documentary,

00:26:41.940 The Death of Man from Carl Benjamin,

00:26:44.120 addressing basically the decline of the importance of man in our understanding of the universe

00:26:50.440 and the rise of materialism as an explanation for the world we live in,

00:26:55.660 and more importantly,

00:26:57.060 the consequences that this has had in terms of reducing us to mere matter rather than spiritual beings connected to God.

00:27:08.940 I think it's a great documentary.

00:27:10.400 You should definitely watch it.

00:27:11.720 And that's live on the website now.

00:27:12.900 And that is live on the website now.

00:27:15.180 So please go and check it out.

00:27:17.820 The topic that I want to talk about a little bit is the situation of London's property prices.

00:27:26.440 There has been,

00:27:27.860 as anybody who's been anywhere near Britain knows,

00:27:31.840 there was an explosion in the prices of houses,

00:27:35.140 especially in London.

00:27:38.300 But now we are beginning to see that reversed.

00:27:42.840 Anybody who bought a property in London in the 90s is now a millionaire and perhaps a multimillionaire,

00:27:48.780 or even in the 80s.

00:27:51.100 In this article,

00:27:53.620 you know,

00:27:54.520 a house that was bought for 176,000 in the 90s is now 1.6 million,

00:28:02.940 an 800% increase.

00:28:04.720 God knows how normal people are meant to be affording houses or to be buying houses in London.

00:28:11.260 But we've seen this explosion as a result of cheap credit and immigration.

00:28:16.860 And high demand,

00:28:19.600 right,

00:28:19.820 ultimately.

00:28:20.720 Very,

00:28:21.100 very high demand.

00:28:21.740 High demand.

00:28:22.300 Because the economic priority for the government was constantly London and the southeast,

00:28:28.680 much less so the rest of the country.

00:28:30.680 So as deindustrialization set in,

00:28:33.140 there was much less to do in other parts of Britain.

00:28:36.540 And there were therefore less services to provide from other parts of Britain.

00:28:42.280 And so everything ended up being concentrated in London.

00:28:44.700 Well,

00:28:45.000 I mean,

00:28:45.160 I know the calculation I made when I was coming out of university is if I wanted a high paying job,

00:28:49.040 I had to go to London.

00:28:49.880 Yeah.

00:28:50.040 That's where the high paying jobs were.

00:28:51.300 Pretty much.

00:28:51.700 The problem is,

00:28:52.340 is house prices got so high is that a lot of young people started to realise,

00:28:56.380 well,

00:28:56.500 actually,

00:28:56.860 I can get a high paying job in London.

00:28:58.820 And then it's all going to go to my boomer landlord.

00:29:01.400 And I'll actually be taking less take home pay than if I just got a normal job outside of London.

00:29:07.300 Yes.

00:29:07.520 I do get why a lot of younger people are very resentful,

00:29:12.060 especially when the older generation boomer types or even slightly younger than boomer types say,

00:29:16.880 just save a bit.

00:29:19.000 I saved,

00:29:19.680 I saved for a couple of years and bought a house.

00:29:22.360 You can do that.

00:29:23.140 It's like,

00:29:23.340 no,

00:29:23.500 I can't though.

00:29:24.460 No,

00:29:24.780 no,

00:29:25.140 no,

00:29:25.880 I can't.

00:29:27.260 If you don't understand,

00:29:28.920 do they?

00:29:29.080 Yeah.

00:29:29.640 If you're on 30,

00:29:30.420 40K and you save 20,000 pounds a year,

00:29:32.880 that gets you nothing.

00:29:34.440 Yeah.

00:29:34.640 Two or three years.

00:29:35.200 Do that for 10 years.

00:29:36.300 And then you might be able to buy a deposit.

00:29:38.460 But actually,

00:29:38.960 no,

00:29:39.080 you can't because house prices have tripled in that time.

00:29:41.440 If you do that for 10 years,

00:29:43.020 you end up,

00:29:43.520 let's say with 200,000 pounds,

00:29:45.140 which would barely be enough for a deposit on a house that's worth one,

00:29:49.600 1.5 million in London.

00:29:51.000 You have to keep earning loads to afford the repayments.

00:29:55.120 And you have to keep earning loads.

00:29:56.020 And you're just locked in.

00:29:57.120 And you're locked in.

00:29:58.080 And that's what's happening to some people.

00:30:01.380 When house prices go down,

00:30:03.200 you end up in negative equity.

00:30:04.840 The amount that you've borrowed is more than the value of the house.

00:30:09.660 So when you see these prices going down,

00:30:12.080 and in some areas,

00:30:13.780 they are going down in London by 15%,

00:30:17.760 16% every year.

00:30:21.200 This is bizarre because,

00:30:22.400 you know,

00:30:22.600 I spent a long time in London and house prices just always went up.

00:30:26.020 Yep.

00:30:26.540 Like for 30 years.

00:30:28.320 Is it that bizarre?

00:30:29.120 Because we've done a bit of content before all about bubbles.

00:30:32.660 Yes.

00:30:32.980 Going back to the tulip mania.

00:30:34.880 Yeah.

00:30:35.040 But I mean,

00:30:35.380 tulip mania was like,

00:30:36.400 what,

00:30:36.560 two,

00:30:36.840 three years.

00:30:37.720 It was 30 years that London house prices.

00:30:40.120 Yeah.

00:30:40.580 Well,

00:30:40.740 it's a big bubble.

00:30:41.720 It's a big bubble.

00:30:42.680 So it's so happened that these 30 years began perhaps in 1997 with the opening.

00:30:49.680 It was,

00:30:49.960 it was actually about then.

00:30:51.180 With the explosion of demand.

00:30:53.060 Yes.

00:30:53.400 That resulted from freedom of movement.

00:30:56.080 That is a good point.

00:30:58.120 Subsequently,

00:30:58.280 immigrate,

00:30:58.840 more kinds of immigration.

00:30:59.940 And then the Boris wave was sort of the cherry on top of this very combustible mix.

00:31:07.060 I went and checked this out actually,

00:31:08.220 when you said that you were going to be doing a house price in London segment.

00:31:10.360 So I went and looked up my old house that I used to have in London.

00:31:12.860 Now I bought it in 2014 for 325.

00:31:17.560 And I sold it three years later because I just eventually thought,

00:31:20.460 what the hell am I doing in London?

00:31:21.620 I'm going to get out of London.

00:31:22.520 So I then sold it three years later and it increased by 200,000 pounds in three years.

00:31:28.000 I remember the estate agent round.

00:31:29.480 And I was like,

00:31:29.800 you what mate?

00:31:30.980 You're telling me this has gone up 200 grand in three years from 325.

00:31:36.120 Anyway,

00:31:36.560 so I looked it up this morning and it's now in the last,

00:31:39.440 whatever it is,

00:31:40.000 eight years,

00:31:40.680 there's only gained 75.

00:31:42.460 Right.

00:31:42.900 So what actually probably happened is it went way past that and then it's come down.

00:31:47.340 Yes.

00:31:47.920 So it seems to be a,

00:31:50.800 um,

00:31:52.040 a situation really where the highest priced houses are the ones that are going down the

00:31:58.960 most.

00:32:00.480 Um,

00:32:01.560 there is some precedent for us.

00:32:03.100 It's just completely overvalued.

00:32:04.040 Exactly.

00:32:04.540 It was overvalued.

00:32:06.220 So according to one expert,

00:32:08.200 there were several decades when it was a divine right that you would see five to 10% capital

00:32:13.440 growth every year on your home.

00:32:15.140 Yep.

00:32:15.380 Uh,

00:32:16.940 and now this is long over.

00:32:18.340 And the consensus of the experts is that the peak was around 2014 for some prices,

00:32:24.520 but then there's the,

00:32:26.860 the assumption that the sort of mid level of the market,

00:32:29.480 the one that's families would be interested in and we able to afford,

00:32:32.660 as opposed to just the millionaires,

00:32:34.220 uh,

00:32:35.040 that that would be at least hopefully more stable.

00:32:39.500 But I thought I'd share this clip with you,

00:32:42.840 a very short clip about what's been happening to the prices in that mid segment.

00:32:49.260 The original asking price of this flat was £450,000.

00:32:53.140 And there was a moment on the phone with the agent where he just said,

00:32:59.500 I can't,

00:32:59.940 I can't share your offer with the seller to 250.

00:33:03.400 The last time a flat sold in this building in 2016,

00:33:07.120 a small one bed,

00:33:08.140 it's all for 310,000.

00:33:09.940 So how can I explain this to my client?

00:33:11.760 I said,

00:33:12.520 look,

00:33:13.000 here's the ONS data.

00:33:14.620 The price is down 15% year on year in prime central London,

00:33:18.420 Kensington specifically.

00:33:20.260 I said,

00:33:20.440 the market is clamped.

00:33:21.460 The reason why they will accept this offer is because they got no other option.

00:33:24.400 They're on their office.

00:33:25.000 They want to get out.

00:33:25.780 It's in the stress cell.

00:33:27.780 So I put forward the offer and accepted it.

00:33:30.700 £250,000.

00:33:32.380 People cannot believe to the extent central London's clamps.

00:33:36.000 And what it marks is,

00:33:37.820 is a tipping point of where so many people out there believe that that asset is

00:33:42.820 worth a certain value.

00:33:43.920 And really it's not.

00:33:44.800 And it's only when they really come to sell it,

00:33:46.600 this guy started at £450,000 and ended up at £250,000.

00:33:49.600 This is remarkable because you would have expected that,

00:33:55.500 you know,

00:33:55.840 this would be driven by the millionaire class,

00:33:58.280 Rachel Reeves policies,

00:34:00.420 the consensus that was from the conservative government through the labor

00:34:04.600 government,

00:34:05.520 that non-DOM should be abolished,

00:34:07.840 that taxes should be put up.

00:34:09.700 The,

00:34:10.220 the actions of the previous chancellor,

00:34:13.420 what's his name?

00:34:13.960 I,

00:34:14.060 I forgot who raised the stamp duty on the upper end of the market quite

00:34:19.160 significantly.

00:34:20.340 You would,

00:34:20.780 you would have thought that this was going to sort of only affect the

00:34:25.160 richest classes.

00:34:26.420 But in reality,

00:34:27.480 what's happening in this case,

00:34:29.800 and this guy knows the stuff about real estate to say the least,

00:34:33.000 the middle and lower end of the markets are also crashing.

00:34:37.900 And then the question becomes,

00:34:39.780 well,

00:34:39.940 why do people don't want to live in London?

00:34:41.920 Because if it's a 450,000 property,

00:34:45.160 you would have expected an offer at 400,

00:34:48.180 an offer at 350,

00:34:49.960 an offer at 300,

00:34:51.220 but then the offer that was accepted was for 250,000,

00:34:54.940 which is an enormous reduction.

00:34:57.120 When,

00:34:57.340 if,

00:34:57.400 if these London house prices are getting cheaper,

00:34:59.400 you might wonder,

00:35:00.040 does,

00:35:00.260 does that make me want to come back to London?

00:35:02.020 You know,

00:35:02.180 now,

00:35:02.460 now that I can buy a million pound house,

00:35:04.140 let's say half that,

00:35:05.600 would I?

00:35:06.180 It's like,

00:35:06.400 no,

00:35:06.920 no,

00:35:07.100 because London is still an absolute cesspool of crime and

00:35:11.860 villainy.

00:35:12.380 So no,

00:35:13.520 how much you lower the prices,

00:35:15.200 I'm not going back.

00:35:16.900 So the thing is,

00:35:18.400 prices shouldn't be falling because there is so much restriction on

00:35:22.340 supply.

00:35:23.660 You have a big amount of social housing.

00:35:27.880 And according to Reuters,

00:35:30.080 fact checking it,

00:35:31.440 it's not 76% of the social housing going to foreigners.

00:35:36.880 It's only 48%.

00:35:38.380 Oh,

00:35:39.140 it's just 76% in some areas.

00:35:41.660 What are we worried about?

00:35:42.480 In some areas,

00:35:43.360 but 48% are going to foreign born people.

00:35:48.000 So,

00:35:48.380 you know,

00:35:49.140 I mean,

00:35:50.360 I feel like a mug for not having abused the system.

00:35:54.880 Unfortunately,

00:35:55.460 I wasn't raised that way.

00:35:56.860 I should have come in by boat and demanded,

00:35:59.020 you know,

00:35:59.440 five-star meals all the time.

00:36:01.760 But this is,

00:36:03.060 this is insane.

00:36:04.820 So even with the restricted supply,

00:36:07.300 you're still seeing houses crashing.

00:36:10.000 It's certainly a thing.

00:36:11.060 I mean,

00:36:11.180 I know London very well until just a few years ago,

00:36:14.320 three,

00:36:14.600 four years ago,

00:36:15.360 I lived and worked in London my whole life.

00:36:17.340 Yeah.

00:36:17.600 Somewhere like Kensington.

00:36:18.820 You mentioned Kensington.

00:36:19.800 Yeah.

00:36:20.160 Somewhere like Kensington,

00:36:21.940 somewhere like Pimlico,

00:36:24.080 very,

00:36:24.640 very exclusive,

00:36:25.380 very,

00:36:25.900 very historically,

00:36:27.040 very,

00:36:27.400 very nice places to live.

00:36:29.540 The best places to live.

00:36:31.060 Regents Park,

00:36:33.620 anywhere like that.

00:36:35.440 It was always the case that,

00:36:37.260 well,

00:36:37.540 you're paying lots and lots of money,

00:36:39.120 not just to live in a beautiful property,

00:36:41.100 but to live in a very,

00:36:44.080 very nice neighborhood.

00:36:45.280 Well,

00:36:45.500 it's just not the case then.

00:36:47.400 Now,

00:36:47.800 you go to Pimlico,

00:36:48.860 say Pimlico,

00:36:49.480 around Victoria.

00:36:51.740 You're next door to a Somali family.

00:36:54.520 Yes,

00:36:54.760 yes.

00:36:55.980 So,

00:36:56.540 I don't want to pay 1.6 million to live there.

00:36:58.760 Even in Kensington,

00:36:59.640 you walk two minutes up the road

00:37:01.120 and you're in a trashy area again.

00:37:02.640 Yes.

00:37:03.220 Yes.

00:37:03.540 And so,

00:37:05.540 in order to restrict supply of housing further,

00:37:09.420 the council at Westminster,

00:37:12.220 they were exploring ways in which to make more social housing available.

00:37:16.240 What did they decide to do?

00:37:18.040 They decided that they were going to give people who were already in social housing lifetime tenancies.

00:37:24.320 So,

00:37:26.220 they were going to subsidize.

00:37:27.800 So,

00:37:27.960 social housing is now no longer based on need.

00:37:31.960 Once you're in,

00:37:33.240 that's it.

00:37:33.740 You're part of the aristocracy and of a privileged class.

00:37:36.580 And you get to live in Westminster.

00:37:40.100 Yeah.

00:37:40.820 Forever.

00:37:42.100 At the expense of the taxpayer.

00:37:44.160 Absolutely correct.

00:37:44.820 And so,

00:37:45.440 over a decade.

00:37:45.760 I quite like the idea of turning Westminster into a hellhole though.

00:37:48.880 Fair enough.

00:37:49.540 They do deserve it.

00:37:50.820 They do deserve it.

00:37:51.640 And then you see this kind of figure

00:37:55.340 and it tells you that the economically inactive portion

00:37:59.500 of those who are living in social housing

00:38:03.240 is something,

00:38:04.260 you know,

00:38:04.820 20%,

00:38:05.540 30%,

00:38:06.140 40%,

00:38:06.820 people who aren't working in any shape,

00:38:09.720 way or form,

00:38:10.180 who are doing absolutely nothing.

00:38:12.540 And they are getting the best housing in Britain,

00:38:16.900 in the heart of London.

00:38:18.620 But now,

00:38:19.860 by doing so,

00:38:20.900 they are destroying the value of the properties

00:38:23.760 of everybody in London

00:38:25.440 who voted for this nonsense.

00:38:27.020 So,

00:38:27.440 there is a sense of poetic justice to it.

00:38:30.620 And then you want to ask,

00:38:31.820 well,

00:38:31.980 why aren't families snapping up

00:38:34.580 these properties

00:38:36.300 that are coming down in prices

00:38:38.080 in London

00:38:38.980 and moving back in?

00:38:40.420 All of a sudden,

00:38:41.240 you could live in one of the greatest cultural capitals of Europe.

00:38:44.860 House prices have gone down.

00:38:46.260 The reaction from the market should be,

00:38:48.320 well,

00:38:48.400 we're going to move in.

00:38:49.280 I would argue that one of the answers

00:38:51.720 was given to us in 2012

00:38:53.720 where it was revealed

00:38:56.360 that British people

00:38:58.180 were a minority

00:38:59.400 in London's classrooms.

00:39:01.380 Now,

00:39:01.780 this was known in 2012.

00:39:04.240 And the situation has become so bad

00:39:07.340 that one in every four schools,

00:39:10.660 closer to one in every three schools,

00:39:12.600 actually,

00:39:12.940 has a non-British

00:39:16.380 majority.

00:39:19.620 And that is especially the case

00:39:21.880 in places like London

00:39:23.020 and Birmingham

00:39:23.680 and Manchester

00:39:24.560 where

00:39:26.300 I think

00:39:28.000 that that is one explanation

00:39:29.880 as to why people aren't moving into London.

00:39:32.580 they don't want their children

00:39:34.020 to be that culturally enriched.

00:39:37.020 Yeah.

00:39:37.840 I'll tell you something else interesting as well.

00:39:39.500 If you ever look at the...

00:39:40.700 Because you might think,

00:39:41.280 okay,

00:39:41.480 I'll just stick my kid in a private school then.

00:39:43.480 Well,

00:39:43.740 if you go and look

00:39:44.500 at the first tier

00:39:46.280 of private schools in London,

00:39:48.240 almost overwhelmingly black.

00:39:49.900 Yeah.

00:39:50.100 And the reason for that

00:39:50.900 is black parents know

00:39:52.180 that no way

00:39:54.000 is my kid mixing

00:39:55.140 with those

00:39:55.740 street hoodlums.

00:39:58.040 Right.

00:39:58.500 So,

00:39:58.880 at least the first tier

00:40:00.780 of private school

00:40:01.880 is almost entirely black.

00:40:03.320 Right.

00:40:04.200 If you're looking for something

00:40:06.540 which is a bit more traditionally British,

00:40:08.700 you're going to have to pay

00:40:09.520 significantly more.

00:40:10.640 Right.

00:40:11.020 Right.

00:40:11.300 Right.

00:40:11.540 Right.

00:40:12.440 So,

00:40:13.260 basically,

00:40:14.940 you're seeing this dynamic

00:40:16.140 whereby

00:40:16.880 the capital

00:40:18.780 of Britain

00:40:19.700 is literally

00:40:21.120 falling apart.

00:40:24.220 It's colonized.

00:40:25.080 It's colonized.

00:40:26.120 It's partly

00:40:26.640 because of the

00:40:27.600 tax policies

00:40:28.640 that have been followed.

00:40:30.940 The net result

00:40:32.280 has been

00:40:32.780 at least

00:40:33.580 30,000 millionaires

00:40:34.900 leaving,

00:40:35.800 of which

00:40:36.420 11,000 left

00:40:37.860 in the last year.

00:40:39.280 Hi, Rachel Reeves.

00:40:40.080 Thank you.

00:40:41.440 And this is equivalent

00:40:42.900 to losing

00:40:43.640 one and a half

00:40:44.480 million taxpayers.

00:40:47.300 Do you want to guess

00:40:48.140 how much the tax burden

00:40:49.100 in this country

00:40:49.600 has gone up

00:40:50.080 since before COVID?

00:40:51.080 Go on.

00:40:52.400 70%.

00:40:52.880 The amount of money

00:40:55.280 that is collected

00:40:55.800 by the government.

00:40:56.500 The state used to

00:40:57.400 collect 650 billion.

00:40:59.540 It's now 1.1 trillion.

00:41:00.880 It's up 70%.

00:41:02.000 It is madness

00:41:03.140 the amount of tax.

00:41:03.960 And then you see

00:41:06.220 what it's going for

00:41:07.640 and how it's being

00:41:08.700 spent or wasted.

00:41:10.520 And then you see

00:41:11.620 that the capital

00:41:12.340 is falling apart.

00:41:13.860 And I thought

00:41:14.340 just to sort of

00:41:15.200 emphasize here,

00:41:17.080 70% of

00:41:20.040 Met Police officers

00:41:21.200 haven't arrested

00:41:22.080 anybody in a year.

00:41:23.180 Do they not have

00:41:26.120 Twitter or something?

00:41:26.920 What's going on?

00:41:27.640 It's a complete

00:41:27.980 derelict

00:41:28.300 sort of duty.

00:41:28.840 We did a segment

00:41:29.880 on this not too long ago

00:41:30.720 about specifically

00:41:31.640 car theft in London.

00:41:33.040 Yeah, the police

00:41:33.540 don't do anything.

00:41:34.720 Yeah.

00:41:35.320 They don't do anything.

00:41:36.220 They make a little number

00:41:37.460 give you a crime number

00:41:39.240 and that's it.

00:41:40.160 That's the end

00:41:40.480 of the story.

00:41:41.780 Contacting the police

00:41:42.560 is a purely

00:41:43.360 administrative process

00:41:44.560 just so you can

00:41:46.040 claim insurance

00:41:47.060 if you have it.

00:41:48.560 And if you don't

00:41:49.300 have it,

00:41:49.680 good luck.

00:41:50.080 There is no point

00:41:50.560 in contacting the police.

00:41:51.900 Or if the crime

00:41:53.160 is not against something

00:41:53.920 that is insurable,

00:41:55.300 good luck.

00:41:55.880 That's it.

00:41:57.040 I recommend this clip

00:41:58.620 from Alex Wilson

00:42:00.320 where he tries

00:42:01.140 to talk to Sadiq Khan

00:42:02.220 about the policing

00:42:03.940 and the situation

00:42:04.600 of the policing.

00:42:05.760 And he points out

00:42:06.780 that on every

00:42:07.480 single metric,

00:42:08.920 the performance

00:42:09.600 of the Met Police

00:42:10.440 has just gone

00:42:11.460 completely downhill.

00:42:13.800 And most of it

00:42:14.840 is either

00:42:15.300 needs improvement

00:42:16.000 or inadequate.

00:42:18.160 Except for one

00:42:19.500 that is I think

00:42:20.140 average

00:42:20.700 which is that

00:42:22.300 they treat people

00:42:22.980 with respect.

00:42:24.200 Now this comes

00:42:24.740 after one of the

00:42:26.420 best police officers

00:42:27.640 in Devon

00:42:28.140 was sacked

00:42:28.800 because he called

00:42:30.840 somebody he was

00:42:31.520 arresting a bitch.

00:42:35.060 So they do treat

00:42:36.240 people with respect

00:42:37.020 because if they don't

00:42:37.780 they get sacked.

00:42:38.740 Even criminals

00:42:39.440 who frankly do

00:42:40.580 deserve to be called

00:42:41.320 some names sometimes.

00:42:43.020 Shame is a powerful

00:42:44.060 motivator.

00:42:45.440 But policing in London

00:42:46.880 is collapsing.

00:42:47.540 And so when you're

00:42:49.320 looking for the answer

00:42:50.220 why is

00:42:51.040 we have an answer

00:42:52.180 as to why is

00:42:52.920 the top level

00:42:53.780 housing

00:42:55.200 becoming

00:42:57.180 cheaper.

00:42:58.460 And the answer is

00:42:59.740 Rachel Reeve's

00:43:00.420 tax policies

00:43:01.120 the end of non-dom

00:43:02.600 which was a point

00:43:03.620 of consensus

00:43:04.160 between the

00:43:04.800 conservatives

00:43:05.220 and Labour

00:43:06.180 stamp duty

00:43:08.320 things like that.

00:43:09.180 Fair enough.

00:43:10.260 But then what has

00:43:11.160 to be explained

00:43:11.740 is why are

00:43:12.580 cheaper properties

00:43:13.400 not being snapped

00:43:14.280 up by British

00:43:15.000 families wanting

00:43:15.600 to live in London.

00:43:16.240 and the answer

00:43:17.420 is because

00:43:18.460 there's no police

00:43:18.980 in London.

00:43:20.120 And because

00:43:21.040 if you send

00:43:22.380 your children

00:43:22.960 to a school

00:43:24.100 in London

00:43:24.540 they will

00:43:26.760 stand out

00:43:27.840 as being

00:43:28.640 a minority

00:43:29.540 community

00:43:30.080 that is largely

00:43:30.980 loathed by

00:43:31.820 the other community.

00:43:33.520 If they don't

00:43:34.440 get stabbed

00:43:35.040 if they don't

00:43:36.100 get on drugs

00:43:36.720 if they don't

00:43:37.480 get into

00:43:37.820 all kinds

00:43:38.460 of social

00:43:39.600 ills that have

00:43:40.240 become prevalent

00:43:40.860 in London.

00:43:41.340 Another way of

00:43:41.600 saying it is

00:43:42.140 that it's simply

00:43:42.780 not desirable.

00:43:44.300 It is simply

00:43:45.220 not desirable.

00:43:46.220 The problem

00:43:46.620 in London

00:43:47.020 have become

00:43:47.500 so severe

00:43:48.280 that Greggs

00:43:49.740 are actually

00:43:50.980 putting

00:43:52.180 sandwiches

00:43:53.300 and soda

00:43:54.580 behind the

00:43:56.300 counter

00:43:56.720 because

00:43:57.960 you see

00:43:59.460 these kinds

00:44:00.920 of incidents.

00:44:06.180 Gangsters.

00:44:06.820 Man says

00:44:10.640 yo fuck

00:44:11.160 that man's

00:44:11.600 grabbing

00:44:11.840 everything

00:44:12.180 today you

00:44:12.740 know

00:44:12.900 he's not

00:44:13.180 even playing

00:44:13.560 good.

00:44:14.640 He wants

00:44:15.080 to

00:44:15.280 he's not

00:44:15.700 done stealing.

00:44:16.240 I said

00:44:16.380 work

00:44:16.720 you man

00:44:17.000 work.

00:44:24.100 Yeah and the

00:44:24.660 criminals know

00:44:25.240 there's not a

00:44:25.640 damn thing you

00:44:26.080 can do.

00:44:26.600 Exactly.

00:44:27.280 Well they will

00:44:29.120 if you try

00:44:29.500 and stop them.

00:44:30.480 The police will

00:44:30.800 arrest you

00:44:31.400 if you try

00:44:31.800 and stop them.

00:44:33.220 By right

00:44:33.980 you should be

00:44:35.680 able to hurt

00:44:36.440 this man

00:44:37.000 very much.

00:44:38.060 Yes.

00:44:39.200 By right

00:44:39.680 you should be

00:44:40.300 able to

00:44:40.780 physically harm

00:44:41.560 him quite

00:44:42.060 severely.

00:44:42.660 And he just

00:44:43.260 knows he's

00:44:43.840 going to get

00:44:44.160 away with it.

00:44:44.880 And he knows

00:44:45.420 he's going to

00:44:45.880 get away with it.

00:44:46.760 Theft should be

00:44:47.380 punished by

00:44:48.040 the pillory.

00:44:49.520 Yes.

00:44:50.260 Flogging.

00:44:50.740 It should be

00:44:53.680 punished instantly.

00:44:54.900 Justice needs

00:44:55.460 to be seen

00:44:56.060 to be done

00:44:56.580 and people

00:44:57.020 need to be

00:44:57.460 deterred.

00:44:58.780 So we have

00:45:00.320 a situation

00:45:00.880 where one of

00:45:01.500 the most

00:45:01.720 desirable cities

00:45:02.660 in the world

00:45:03.420 is having

00:45:04.980 its property

00:45:05.700 values collapse

00:45:06.740 because there

00:45:09.380 is a collapse

00:45:09.960 in values.

00:45:11.760 Yep.

00:45:12.960 That's the

00:45:13.760 fundamental issue.

00:45:14.740 It was overpriced

00:45:15.520 to begin with

00:45:16.240 and now it's

00:45:17.640 not desirable.

00:45:18.340 I mean yeah

00:45:20.680 the price is

00:45:21.420 going to go

00:45:21.700 down then.

00:45:22.580 I've never

00:45:22.880 regretted leaving

00:45:23.660 for a minute.

00:45:24.640 Yeah.

00:45:25.340 It was overpriced

00:45:26.680 but desirable

00:45:27.320 and now they've

00:45:28.840 successfully made

00:45:30.280 it absolutely

00:45:31.300 undesirable to

00:45:32.240 be in London.

00:45:33.800 And I mean

00:45:35.920 do you see a

00:45:36.940 way out with

00:45:37.600 this crew in

00:45:38.280 charge or

00:45:38.940 tactical nukes

00:45:41.360 maybe I don't

00:45:41.840 know.

00:45:41.940 Not with this

00:45:42.400 crew in charge

00:45:43.280 no.

00:45:43.940 If there was a

00:45:44.620 if there was a

00:45:45.100 program of mass

00:45:46.100 remigration and

00:45:48.020 native Brits

00:45:48.720 took the

00:45:49.320 capital back

00:45:49.960 demographically

00:45:50.620 then then

00:45:52.940 maybe nothing's

00:45:55.420 irreversible.

00:45:57.600 For that to

00:45:58.680 happen there

00:46:00.440 needs to be a

00:46:01.320 defining of what

00:46:02.300 is British and

00:46:04.380 that is a

00:46:04.960 material and

00:46:06.140 spiritual question

00:46:07.240 and that is a

00:46:09.180 material and

00:46:10.080 spiritual question.

00:46:11.100 It's not a

00:46:11.440 purely material

00:46:12.040 one as in if

00:46:14.160 if if if it's

00:46:15.300 ethnically British

00:46:16.080 but then we're

00:46:16.660 going back to the

00:46:17.440 values of the

00:46:18.000 of the Vikings

00:46:18.800 you will see at

00:46:20.880 least some looting

00:46:21.680 as a result of

00:46:22.600 that.

00:46:25.260 So the

00:46:25.900 spiritual dimension

00:46:26.980 has to play a

00:46:27.840 role here.

00:46:28.460 I would say

00:46:28.960 go back to the

00:46:29.600 ninth century.

00:46:30.700 We could go

00:46:31.000 back to the

00:46:31.320 values of the

00:46:31.800 1950s say.

00:46:33.300 Okay fair

00:46:34.340 enough enough

00:46:34.960 to go back to

00:46:35.720 and and and

00:46:36.540 that would mean

00:46:37.000 a Christian

00:46:37.440 Britain and

00:46:39.480 and that would

00:46:40.060 necessarily imply a

00:46:41.300 Christian Britain.

00:46:42.440 Maybe we could

00:46:43.000 have a little bit

00:46:44.520 of ninth century.

00:46:45.540 Can we get back to

00:46:46.300 the day where it's

00:46:46.940 like oh these

00:46:47.860 people are causing

00:46:48.460 trouble and it's

00:46:49.140 like son get my

00:46:49.960 battle axe.

00:46:51.120 A little bit of

00:46:51.880 that.

00:46:52.360 I'll take 1996.

00:46:53.860 I'll take that.

00:46:54.860 Right fair enough.

00:46:55.680 You know when we

00:46:56.260 talk about a

00:46:56.940 demographic reversal

00:46:58.020 demographic change

00:46:58.980 and leftist

00:46:59.780 traitors say oh

00:47:01.240 what do you want

00:47:01.860 what do you want

00:47:02.700 like I say 99%

00:47:04.900 ethnic white.

00:47:06.280 I'll take that.

00:47:07.240 Let's start there.

00:47:08.200 Yeah.

00:47:09.020 They think they've

00:47:09.620 cornered you when

00:47:10.340 they try and make

00:47:11.020 you try and put a

00:47:11.600 number on it.

00:47:12.140 No I happily put a

00:47:12.780 number on it.

00:47:14.920 As close to 100%

00:47:16.260 as possible.

00:47:17.260 The trick that they

00:47:18.360 play is to make you

00:47:20.180 point out that the

00:47:21.560 British are white and

00:47:23.780 once you notice that

00:47:24.880 they are you're

00:47:25.660 automatically a racist.

00:47:27.700 I think I saw this

00:47:29.180 gentleman who goes by

00:47:30.420 the name Otto

00:47:30.960 English try to play

00:47:31.900 that try to play that

00:47:33.740 game where that guy

00:47:38.880 is sad.

00:47:39.820 That guy is sad.

00:47:40.540 I just recently

00:47:42.200 interacted with him

00:47:42.880 for the first time.

00:47:44.420 I didn't know who

00:47:46.000 he was.

00:47:46.380 I genuinely thought

00:47:47.160 he was a sort of

00:47:48.440 university student

00:47:49.980 kind of.

00:47:50.740 Or a parody account.

00:47:51.860 Or a parody you

00:47:53.360 know.

00:47:55.000 But they try to

00:47:56.520 corner you with this

00:47:57.560 admission that

00:47:58.480 Africans are black

00:48:00.520 and Europeans are

00:48:01.340 white and once you

00:48:02.820 notice that oh

00:48:04.440 dear how dare you

00:48:05.380 notice.

00:48:06.980 But you then see

00:48:08.320 well okay these

00:48:10.440 things are having

00:48:11.340 an impact on life

00:48:12.480 and we're seeing

00:48:14.540 how it's playing

00:48:15.200 out and it's not

00:48:16.280 really going very

00:48:17.280 well.

00:48:17.640 I'm happy to be

00:48:18.280 accused of being a

00:48:19.080 noticer.

00:48:19.960 Yes.

00:48:20.360 Noticing is good.

00:48:21.240 Noticing is good.

00:48:22.120 Yes.

00:48:22.400 Noticing is good.

00:48:23.200 Noticing is definitely

00:48:23.860 good.

00:48:24.180 If you haven't been

00:48:24.660 called a racist by

00:48:25.840 this point you're

00:48:26.360 doing something wrong.

00:48:27.420 Yeah.

00:48:27.860 Yeah.

00:48:28.860 Yeah.

00:48:29.420 Definitely.

00:48:30.200 Definitely.

00:48:31.240 Do you want to

00:48:31.480 pick out a couple of

00:48:32.240 things?

00:48:32.540 Sure.

00:48:33.400 Sure.

00:48:35.880 And hedonism.

00:48:36.500 I don't recommend

00:48:37.580 hedonism.

00:48:38.120 So if that means

00:48:39.280 anti-hedonism well

00:48:40.700 done.

00:48:41.880 All people of

00:48:42.920 English, Irish,

00:48:43.960 Scottish and Welsh

00:48:44.660 descent should have

00:48:45.420 the right to buy

00:48:46.060 firearms.

00:48:47.180 Currently your

00:48:47.960 gangs, military and

00:48:48.960 police have a

00:48:49.580 monopoly on force.

00:48:50.840 I do believe in a

00:48:52.000 right to self

00:48:52.440 defense and when

00:48:54.500 everybody knows

00:48:55.260 that people are

00:48:56.740 capable of defending

00:48:57.540 themselves they tend

00:48:58.620 to be more

00:49:00.580 measured in the

00:49:02.300 manner in which

00:49:03.020 they behave.

00:49:05.080 So firearms are a

00:49:06.720 great equalizer.

00:49:07.500 legal.

00:49:10.540 Particularly

00:49:10.900 Americans, they

00:49:11.720 say you've been

00:49:12.240 disarmed, you're

00:49:13.060 not even allowed to

00:49:13.660 own guns.

00:49:14.740 Yes.

00:49:15.020 I don't know how

00:49:15.500 many times they

00:49:16.400 need to say no

00:49:17.740 we can, you can

00:49:18.620 buy guns.

00:49:19.420 Can't carry them

00:49:20.100 in the street.

00:49:20.680 You can't buy

00:49:21.140 handguns.

00:49:21.760 There's a ban on

00:49:22.340 handguns.

00:49:24.000 But that's what

00:49:24.460 actually should be

00:49:25.080 able to carry them

00:49:25.560 in the street

00:49:25.980 though.

00:49:26.940 Yeah, no fair

00:49:27.580 enough, yeah.

00:49:28.420 You should or

00:49:28.940 shouldn't be?

00:49:29.700 Should.

00:49:30.300 Should.

00:49:30.860 And I want my

00:49:31.400 sword as well.

00:49:32.320 Fair enough.

00:49:33.580 Fair enough.

00:49:34.220 In both

00:49:36.200 Britain, thieves

00:49:36.980 will receive

00:49:37.560 their flogging

00:49:38.200 and pillory at

00:49:38.960 the hands of

00:49:39.520 their victims.

00:49:40.440 Yes, that's

00:49:41.220 perfectly reasonable.

00:49:42.960 That's a point of

00:49:43.880 agreement.

00:49:45.360 That's a point of

00:49:46.180 agreement, I think.

00:49:47.680 London police

00:49:48.400 stopped being

00:49:49.100 effective when

00:49:49.840 they couldn't

00:49:50.320 say, what's

00:49:51.080 all this then

00:49:51.700 anymore?

00:49:52.560 The job isn't

00:49:53.580 worth doing

00:49:54.080 without that.

00:49:55.360 Yeah.

00:49:56.460 They've

00:49:56.900 diminished a

00:49:57.400 very long way,

00:49:58.060 haven't they?

00:49:58.700 They've become

00:49:59.840 cartoonish versions

00:50:00.820 of themselves.

00:50:01.700 Yes.

00:50:04.420 I unfortunately

00:50:05.780 have had a

00:50:06.460 couple of

00:50:06.720 interactions.

00:50:07.320 They were

00:50:07.420 complete parity.

00:50:08.620 And it's

00:50:09.520 just heartbreaking.

00:50:11.440 It is.

00:50:11.880 It is.

00:50:12.220 It used to be a

00:50:13.140 threat back in

00:50:14.220 the 50s or

00:50:14.780 whatever, the

00:50:15.280 60s or

00:50:15.700 something.

00:50:16.420 Someone was

00:50:16.780 threatened, I

00:50:17.400 shall fetch a

00:50:18.120 policeman.

00:50:18.960 Yeah.

00:50:19.560 And someone

00:50:19.940 started, oh

00:50:20.640 don't do that,

00:50:21.160 I'll start

00:50:21.440 behaving myself,

00:50:22.140 I'll start

00:50:22.400 being antisocial

00:50:23.060 then, don't

00:50:23.380 do that.

00:50:23.940 Yeah.

00:50:24.600 And now, one,

00:50:26.120 you couldn't

00:50:26.580 fetch a policeman

00:50:27.420 for love nor

00:50:28.000 money.

00:50:28.500 But if you

00:50:30.000 did, it would

00:50:31.380 be some

00:50:31.740 five foot

00:50:32.220 nothing, 90

00:50:32.940 pound woman

00:50:33.520 that doesn't

00:50:34.840 do anything.

00:50:35.560 Yes.

00:50:35.760 So we have

00:50:38.000 just launched

00:50:38.500 the Death of

00:50:39.160 Man documentary

00:50:39.960 that is up

00:50:40.660 on the

00:50:41.140 website.

00:50:42.600 Carl explained

00:50:43.380 to us what

00:50:43.800 it was all

00:50:44.180 about and

00:50:45.040 did you get

00:50:46.400 it?

00:50:47.120 It's something

00:50:47.660 to do with

00:50:49.060 how materialism

00:50:50.680 and measuring

00:50:51.280 things post

00:50:52.260 enlightenment

00:50:52.860 has fundamentally

00:50:54.440 lost us

00:50:55.040 something.

00:50:55.640 Yep.

00:50:57.140 Carl explains

00:50:58.060 it better

00:50:58.320 than I

00:50:58.620 do.

00:50:58.920 So go and

00:50:59.300 watch that.

00:50:59.800 So that is

00:51:00.220 up on the

00:51:01.020 website.

00:51:01.660 Do go and

00:51:02.120 check it out.

00:51:02.660 Now, as you

00:51:04.080 are no doubt

00:51:05.100 aware, we made

00:51:05.800 some changes and

00:51:06.660 some improvements

00:51:07.300 to the website.

00:51:08.700 And probably the

00:51:09.240 biggest change and

00:51:10.220 improvement that we've

00:51:11.060 made is we have

00:51:12.320 now launched

00:51:12.980 Lotus Eaters AI.

00:51:14.180 So we've got 10,000

00:51:16.340 GPUs in the

00:51:17.640 old office, the

00:51:18.920 H1000s, whatever

00:51:20.020 they are, and it

00:51:21.160 is the most

00:51:21.660 powerful right-wing

00:51:22.880 AGI computer

00:51:23.940 system that

00:51:25.320 exists in

00:51:26.000 Britain today.

00:51:27.180 Now, what it

00:51:27.740 enables me to

00:51:28.840 do, and please

00:51:29.960 don't be alarmed,

00:51:31.140 what we're going to

00:51:31.800 do is I'm going to

00:51:32.260 run a program and

00:51:33.740 what is going to

00:51:34.280 access your

00:51:34.940 webcam, don't

00:51:35.760 worry if you've

00:51:36.100 got a VPN or

00:51:36.980 firewall, it will

00:51:37.520 just bypass

00:51:37.980 straight through

00:51:38.880 that.

00:51:39.140 It's really

00:51:39.420 powerful.

00:51:40.080 It will access

00:51:40.660 your webcam, it

00:51:42.180 will profile your

00:51:43.220 face, and then

00:51:45.120 what it will do is

00:51:46.340 it will tell you

00:51:47.060 what your future

00:51:47.760 children or

00:51:48.500 grandchildren are

00:51:49.160 going to look

00:51:49.560 like.

00:51:49.840 It's very clever,

00:51:50.960 very clever.

00:51:51.840 And we've only

00:51:52.240 trained this on

00:51:52.940 females so far, so

00:51:54.280 it can't do your

00:51:55.080 sons and grandsons,

00:51:56.300 what they're going

00:51:56.680 to look like.

00:51:57.060 But this will tell

00:51:57.760 you what your

00:51:58.260 granddaughters will

00:51:59.100 look like in

00:52:00.600 2060.

00:52:02.680 So I'm just

00:52:03.480 loading the script

00:52:04.260 now, it's just

00:52:05.460 running.

00:52:07.600 I'll wait for the

00:52:08.260 dial-up modem to

00:52:09.280 do it.

00:52:09.440 No, no, this is

00:52:10.700 hyper-advanced

00:52:11.400 stuff.

00:52:11.680 It is now

00:52:12.040 accessing your

00:52:12.840 webcam, it's

00:52:13.520 bypassing all your

00:52:14.320 security, it's

00:52:14.940 taking a picture of

00:52:15.760 your face, it's

00:52:16.920 just interpolating

00:52:17.840 now, I can see

00:52:18.420 on my screen now

00:52:19.740 the gigaflops are

00:52:21.500 flopping, and

00:52:23.400 here we go, it's

00:52:24.480 generated an

00:52:25.140 image, so

00:52:25.480 everybody's now

00:52:26.060 going to get a

00:52:26.500 personalised image

00:52:27.500 of what their

00:52:28.300 daughter or

00:52:29.300 granddaughter is

00:52:29.940 going to look

00:52:30.460 like in 2060.

00:52:32.080 Are you ready?

00:52:33.800 There we go.

00:52:35.120 Ah, there we

00:52:36.040 go.

00:52:36.740 So that is the

00:52:38.540 future of

00:52:39.960 Britain in

00:52:41.060 2063.

00:52:43.240 I hope you

00:52:43.880 like the

00:52:44.160 resemblance.

00:52:44.920 My objection

00:52:46.520 is to the

00:52:48.140 high-tech

00:52:50.100 skyscrapers in

00:52:51.000 the background.

00:52:52.040 I think it's an

00:52:52.780 either-or.

00:52:53.740 Yes, we

00:52:54.080 probably wouldn't

00:52:54.460 have that, you

00:52:54.920 probably wouldn't

00:52:55.280 have that, that's

00:52:55.740 true, but it is

00:52:56.780 AI, so it doesn't

00:52:57.460 make any mistakes.

00:52:58.060 But in Britain in

00:53:01.020 2063, the

00:53:02.440 British become a

00:53:03.400 minority.

00:53:05.760 So by then at

00:53:07.180 the latest, if

00:53:08.020 not a decade

00:53:08.540 before, we're

00:53:11.460 going to have

00:53:11.740 this, we're

00:53:13.160 going to have

00:53:13.400 the burqa.

00:53:15.140 The full burqa,

00:53:16.200 not just

00:53:16.660 niqab, but the

00:53:17.540 full burqa.

00:53:19.400 I'm glad you

00:53:20.140 said that, because

00:53:20.860 that's why I wanted

00:53:21.400 to do this segment,

00:53:22.320 is because a lot of

00:53:23.060 people don't, I

00:53:23.660 didn't know, I

00:53:24.660 think you knew, but

00:53:26.020 I didn't know

00:53:27.040 that there's, there

00:53:27.840 were subtle

00:53:28.480 distinctions, I've

00:53:29.640 got them here, and

00:53:30.460 I thought, since

00:53:31.660 this is Britain's

00:53:32.720 future, we need

00:53:34.360 to know this

00:53:34.900 stuff, so I'm

00:53:35.960 going to do a

00:53:36.380 segment on it, I'm

00:53:37.160 going to explain to

00:53:37.800 people, because

00:53:38.380 you know, your

00:53:38.800 daughters or

00:53:39.700 granddaughters or

00:53:40.380 whatever, are going

00:53:41.460 to be forced to

00:53:42.080 wear this, so you

00:53:44.380 need to know the

00:53:44.800 difference.

00:53:46.580 These are important

00:53:47.680 distinctions, yes.

00:53:48.980 Sharia police in

00:53:49.920 the streets, and

00:53:51.060 the women's are not

00:53:52.820 being modest enough,

00:53:54.460 having uncovered

00:53:55.820 hair, it's just

00:53:56.500 not allowed.

00:53:58.360 Britain's Middle

00:53:59.120 Eastern allies are

00:54:00.380 constantly complaining

00:54:01.620 to British authorities

00:54:02.700 about the amount of

00:54:03.940 extremism that is

00:54:04.900 coming out of

00:54:05.500 Britain.

00:54:06.800 Oh yeah.

00:54:07.860 So who's

00:54:08.140 complaining about

00:54:08.600 that?

00:54:09.480 Middle Eastern

00:54:10.280 Muslim majority

00:54:11.180 countries, not

00:54:12.040 Muslim majority,

00:54:12.920 overwhelmingly Muslim

00:54:14.020 countries, Saudi

00:54:16.300 Arabia and the

00:54:17.180 UAE, like, you

00:54:18.740 know, they're the

00:54:20.180 only non-Muslims

00:54:21.660 there are foreigners.

00:54:22.420 I've heard the

00:54:22.940 Saudi intelligence

00:54:23.780 minister publicly

00:54:24.960 berate the UK, it's

00:54:26.120 like, what the

00:54:26.780 hell are you people

00:54:27.560 doing?

00:54:27.920 Yes, yes, yes.

00:54:28.360 You cannot let the

00:54:29.600 Islamics run away

00:54:31.760 with it, and you

00:54:32.360 are, what are you

00:54:33.240 doing?

00:54:33.820 So it's basic

00:54:34.840 things.

00:54:35.300 In Saudi Arabia,

00:54:36.280 you're not allowed

00:54:37.100 to have a mosque,

00:54:38.640 to have a bucket

00:54:40.120 collecting money

00:54:41.060 outside the mosque.

00:54:43.180 You must do it

00:54:44.120 through the banking

00:54:44.680 system so that it

00:54:46.580 is traceable, because

00:54:48.220 they know from

00:54:49.240 experience, very good

00:54:50.760 experience, how that

00:54:52.420 money gets used, and

00:54:53.980 they want to have

00:54:54.740 some control over

00:54:55.660 it, and when big

00:54:57.060 amounts of cash are

00:54:58.240 suddenly dropped to

00:54:59.580 organizations that are

00:55:00.680 not known, you can be

00:55:02.840 sure that some of that

00:55:03.800 ends up doing things

00:55:05.500 that don't benefit you

00:55:07.600 in the long run.

00:55:09.220 In Britain, this is

00:55:10.280 absolutely not a

00:55:10.980 concern, because you

00:55:13.000 have...

00:55:13.500 We want to fund

00:55:14.060 these people for some

00:55:14.740 reason.

00:55:15.240 Yeah, or, you know,

00:55:16.460 the number of

00:55:17.580 extremists who are here

00:55:18.680 in the UK, who are

00:55:20.640 broadcasting messages

00:55:22.380 that in the Middle

00:55:24.120 East would land you

00:55:24.960 in jail.

00:55:26.120 Yeah.

00:55:27.180 So there are clerics

00:55:28.700 here in Britain who

00:55:29.500 are more extreme than

00:55:30.680 the clerics who are in

00:55:31.600 Jordan.

00:55:32.580 In Jordan, these

00:55:33.700 clerics are used and

00:55:34.820 weaponized by the

00:55:35.980 state to collect

00:55:37.620 intelligence on its

00:55:38.640 behalf and to mediate

00:55:40.060 with jihadi groups

00:55:41.060 elsewhere, so that the

00:55:43.020 West can pass messages

00:55:44.200 to these groups, and

00:55:45.980 so that there can be

00:55:46.760 some kind of diplomacy

00:55:48.940 alongside the wars.

00:55:50.920 You know?

00:55:52.060 In Britain, these guys

00:55:53.420 are just...

00:55:55.060 Yeah, they've got a

00:55:55.580 YouTube channel.

00:55:56.000 ...living on benefits.

00:55:57.340 Don't tick-tock.

00:55:58.020 ...in London, receiving

00:56:00.500 social housing.

00:56:01.900 Yes, free house, why

00:56:02.820 not?

00:56:03.300 ...and are completely

00:56:04.920 ignored.

00:56:05.560 Yes.

00:56:05.920 There are loads of

00:56:06.740 things that Islamists

00:56:07.840 do and say and think

00:56:09.120 that are banned in

00:56:10.300 Islamic countries,

00:56:11.100 including places like

00:56:11.980 Saudi Arabia.

00:56:13.140 So, for example, when

00:56:14.120 that new reform MP lady

00:56:16.260 stood up and asked

00:56:17.220 Sir Keir about banning

00:56:19.360 the burqa, and Burqa

00:56:20.920 and Keir just said,

00:56:22.860 we're not going to go

00:56:23.520 down that route.

00:56:24.060 Basically, you're not

00:56:24.540 even going to talk

00:56:25.120 about it.

00:56:25.820 You're not even going

00:56:26.340 to start having a

00:56:27.300 conversation about it.

00:56:28.580 The burqa.

00:56:29.860 Yes.

00:56:30.180 The burqa.

00:56:30.860 Which is the one

00:56:32.360 where...

00:56:33.040 That's full-blown

00:56:33.760 Taliban...

00:56:34.800 Yeah, that's the

00:56:35.320 grill and everything.

00:56:36.080 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:56:36.900 And you'd have to wear

00:56:37.660 gloves and the whole

00:56:39.180 nine yards.

00:56:40.080 Yes.

00:56:40.440 Even Saudi Arabia, I

00:56:41.720 think, is back...

00:56:42.500 There's loads and loads

00:56:43.420 of countries where that's

00:56:44.660 beyond the pale.

00:56:45.560 So, Saudi Arabia, it's

00:56:47.300 allowed, I think, in

00:56:49.200 Morocco and I think

00:56:51.040 Egypt, it's not

00:56:52.700 allowed.

00:56:53.240 And I'm not sure

00:56:54.800 about the UAE, but

00:56:56.460 you never see it in...

00:56:58.220 I'm in the UAE

00:56:59.240 regularly.

00:56:59.820 You don't see it.

00:57:02.680 So, this kind of

00:57:04.540 thing is...

00:57:06.200 Where even mesh

00:57:06.960 across the eyes...

00:57:08.100 Mesh across the

00:57:08.800 eyes, that's...

00:57:09.660 I don't remember

00:57:11.180 seeing that in...

00:57:13.460 Outside of videos

00:57:14.700 of Afghanistan

00:57:15.300 and in London.

00:57:16.440 If you can't ban

00:57:17.680 the burqa, then...

00:57:19.120 I mean, and

00:57:19.520 personally, I don't

00:57:20.120 think you should ban

00:57:20.840 any of these.

00:57:21.620 In fact, I would go

00:57:22.260 the other way.

00:57:22.700 I'd make it mandatory

00:57:23.400 for Muslims to

00:57:24.040 bear this because I

00:57:24.720 don't want it going

00:57:25.820 under the radar just

00:57:27.540 how infiltrated our

00:57:28.940 country is.

00:57:29.840 I want everybody to

00:57:31.220 see just how

00:57:33.240 infiltrated we are.

00:57:35.160 I'd like it to be

00:57:35.980 instead of banning

00:57:37.100 people that wear the

00:57:37.800 burqas, we recognise

00:57:39.020 those families that

00:57:40.900 endorse and wear a

00:57:41.960 burqa, and they're

00:57:42.820 the ones that can

00:57:43.420 be re-migrated

00:57:44.120 first.

00:57:44.720 All that, yes.

00:57:45.560 All that, all that.

00:57:46.460 That's probably quite

00:57:47.020 good.

00:57:47.160 Don't need them in

00:57:47.820 our country.

00:57:48.660 Yes.

00:57:48.920 But here's the

00:57:49.740 distinction, everybody.

00:57:50.640 A hijab is just a

00:57:51.380 bit of a scarf that

00:57:52.220 you wrap around your

00:57:52.760 head.

00:57:53.660 The burqa is the

00:57:54.520 full, you know,

00:57:55.820 you properly...

00:57:56.540 Cover your eye.

00:57:57.480 Total Darth Vader

00:57:58.260 moment, this.

00:57:59.660 The najab is almost

00:58:00.720 that, but you allow

00:58:02.540 the eyes to stick out.

00:58:03.960 Do you have to wear

00:58:04.500 gloves with a

00:58:05.120 hijab?

00:58:05.920 With a niqab, yeah.

00:58:07.100 You'd be expected to

00:58:08.220 wear gloves.

00:58:08.540 Oh, OK.

00:58:09.100 So it's just the

00:58:10.400 eyes that get a

00:58:11.100 little bit of

00:58:11.380 freedom.

00:58:11.940 And the chador is

00:58:13.380 apparently the

00:58:13.880 Iranian one, where

00:58:14.740 it's almost full

00:58:15.360 body, but you're

00:58:15.900 allowed to have a

00:58:16.340 face.

00:58:16.880 Yes.

00:58:17.500 Which is...

00:58:17.920 Now, there may

00:58:19.960 be women watching

00:58:21.080 this thinking, well,

00:58:22.740 I'm not going to do

00:58:23.320 this.

00:58:24.300 I'm not going to

00:58:24.740 make my daughter do

00:58:25.400 this.

00:58:26.580 But what I would

00:58:27.580 say is the British

00:58:28.560 have already shown

00:58:29.640 wonderful submission

00:58:30.760 when it comes to

00:58:31.780 this sort of face

00:58:32.860 coverings.

00:58:33.480 Because COVID was

00:58:34.440 only a couple of

00:58:34.980 years ago.

00:58:35.860 The government came

00:58:36.640 out and said, right,

00:58:37.740 everybody needs to

00:58:38.280 wear a mask.

00:58:38.980 And like 99% of

00:58:40.280 you were instantly,

00:58:41.480 oh, yeah, right,

00:58:41.960 then I submit.

00:58:43.480 I submit.

00:58:44.300 So do we really

00:58:45.380 think that people,

00:58:46.560 when they're told by

00:58:47.500 some future Islamic

00:58:48.280 British government

00:58:48.960 that you have to

00:58:49.800 wear this, they're

00:58:50.720 all going to be

00:58:52.140 virtuous?

00:58:52.540 No, you won't.

00:58:53.120 Here's the thing

00:58:53.640 about diverse

00:58:54.220 societies.

00:58:55.640 The most intolerant

00:58:56.920 minority wins.

00:58:58.880 This is something that

00:58:59.700 must be remembered

00:59:00.320 about diversity.

00:59:02.000 It doesn't operate

00:59:03.260 based on the

00:59:04.000 majority principle

00:59:04.840 at all.

00:59:06.240 And it doesn't

00:59:06.900 really operate based

00:59:08.160 on coalitions.

00:59:09.540 They play a role,

00:59:11.000 but they are

00:59:11.940 secondary to

00:59:13.580 force and

00:59:14.540 intolerance.

00:59:15.800 Because Islam

00:59:16.780 views itself as a

00:59:17.880 religion of

00:59:18.340 government, and

00:59:19.580 because it gives

00:59:20.380 itself the right to

00:59:21.500 govern Jews and

00:59:22.360 Christians, it is

00:59:25.300 willing to use

00:59:26.240 force, and we see

00:59:27.420 this all the time

00:59:28.420 every week now, in

00:59:30.280 some attack or the

00:59:31.160 other, in order to

00:59:33.940 gain its political

00:59:35.620 objectives, which it

00:59:37.320 believes are endorsed

00:59:38.360 by God.

00:59:39.340 So in a diverse

00:59:40.160 society, it doesn't

00:59:41.260 have to be a

00:59:42.600 majority Muslim

00:59:43.440 society for certain

00:59:44.560 things to happen.

00:59:46.240 The Muslims have to

00:59:47.140 be a large enough

00:59:47.940 minority that they

00:59:49.960 can use force more

00:59:53.780 effectively than other

00:59:55.120 groups against the

00:59:56.860 majority, and build a

00:59:58.660 coalition with some

00:59:59.720 willing others, such

01:00:00.920 as the Labour

01:00:01.340 Party, who are

01:00:03.660 willing to allow

01:00:04.540 them to have their

01:00:05.200 way.

01:00:05.880 It also helps that

01:00:07.020 they're allowed to

01:00:07.520 use violence.

01:00:08.240 So if you look back

01:00:08.860 to the Southport

01:00:09.460 riots, there was

01:00:11.140 very clear, you'd

01:00:12.100 have a line of

01:00:13.360 Islamics on one

01:00:14.460 side, a bunch of

01:00:15.540 native people on

01:00:16.600 one side.

01:00:17.620 If the native

01:00:18.460 people so much as

01:00:19.680 emptied a drink in

01:00:20.660 the general direction

01:00:21.540 of the line, they

01:00:22.740 would get swamped by

01:00:23.840 police immediately.

01:00:25.020 Meanwhile, the

01:00:25.560 Islamics behind them,

01:00:26.300 the police would have

01:00:26.760 their backs in, they'd

01:00:27.420 be throwing bricks and

01:00:28.280 stuff, and they would

01:00:28.900 be completely ignored.

01:00:30.120 So one side is

01:00:31.140 allowed to use

01:00:32.400 violence, so that

01:00:32.920 helps as well.

01:00:33.760 I've got this story.

01:00:35.060 Police reissue

01:00:36.260 terrorists' mugshot

01:00:38.080 after ISIS complained

01:00:39.840 that she wasn't

01:00:40.500 wearing a cab in it.

01:00:42.500 So the police, you

01:00:44.640 know, where's my

01:00:46.060 little mouse?

01:00:46.920 Anyway, here we go.

01:00:48.640 So that was the

01:00:49.840 initial mugshot that

01:00:50.960 went out, because

01:00:51.720 she's a terrorist, and

01:00:53.420 she was trying to get

01:00:53.860 her kids to suicide

01:00:55.000 bomb themselves.

01:00:56.380 So they put up a

01:00:57.280 mugshot, and ISIS

01:00:59.480 was like,

01:01:00.120 British police, how

01:01:01.140 dare you?

01:01:02.580 And British police

01:01:03.280 were like, oh, we

01:01:04.100 do apologise, so

01:01:05.360 they took that down

01:01:06.180 and put up that

01:01:07.260 instead.

01:01:09.760 Absurd.

01:01:10.380 This is beyond

01:01:10.720 parody.

01:01:11.180 On two or three

01:01:12.240 different levels,

01:01:13.040 absurd, of course.

01:01:14.500 One of the main

01:01:15.140 ones, not just that

01:01:15.940 the police capitulated

01:01:16.820 to it, but what's

01:01:18.060 the point of a

01:01:18.720 mugshot?

01:01:19.680 If you can't see

01:01:21.480 what they look like,

01:01:22.040 what's the point of it?

01:01:23.600 But it also brings up

01:01:24.920 what is the point of

01:01:26.480 face covering, and it's

01:01:27.540 exactly that.

01:01:28.880 Because part of the

01:01:30.020 reason that many

01:01:31.040 Muslim countries ban

01:01:32.420 this is because you

01:01:33.780 have no idea if this is

01:01:34.540 a man or a woman.

01:01:36.160 You can just use any

01:01:37.360 sort of slight,

01:01:38.780 lightweight man and

01:01:40.600 have him dress up like

01:01:41.480 this, and use him

01:01:43.260 to conduct an attack.

01:01:45.480 So, there is a

01:01:47.700 security aspect to

01:01:49.240 this.

01:01:49.720 I still think it was

01:01:50.360 very immodest of her

01:01:51.400 not to have some sort

01:01:52.760 of lace across her

01:01:53.700 eyes there.

01:01:54.360 To clearly see her

01:01:55.700 eyes there.

01:01:56.300 Yeah.

01:01:57.840 Strumpet.

01:01:58.840 Yes.

01:01:59.740 Strumpet.

01:02:00.680 Right.

01:02:01.120 So, I've got here a

01:02:02.180 quick table of Islamic

01:02:04.340 dress codes and women's

01:02:05.880 rights.

01:02:06.740 So, Afghanistan, they

01:02:07.640 like to go for the

01:02:08.240 full burqa, and no

01:02:09.560 educating those women

01:02:10.540 beyond 12.

01:02:12.000 Generous.

01:02:12.620 I mean, they educate

01:02:13.380 them up to 12.

01:02:14.340 Yeah.

01:02:14.620 Iran, it's the

01:02:16.480 hijab or the

01:02:17.760 chowder, the thing

01:02:19.120 that chose to face.

01:02:20.200 Yeah.

01:02:20.640 It can't be seen in

01:02:21.800 public, no unveiled

01:02:23.680 appearance in public,

01:02:24.900 but you were saying

01:02:25.440 to me that they can

01:02:26.400 do some jobs.

01:02:28.360 They can work, and

01:02:29.860 in Iran, there's the

01:02:30.960 whole movement around

01:02:32.420 whether or not the

01:02:34.280 state will succeed in

01:02:35.380 imposing the

01:02:36.840 hijab, with a

01:02:38.940 number of women

01:02:39.540 trying to protest

01:02:40.300 against this, mostly

01:02:41.660 failing, sometimes at

01:02:43.280 horrific cost to

01:02:44.000 themselves, some of

01:02:44.660 them getting killed

01:02:45.200 by the police.

01:02:47.860 Often just bait and

01:02:48.800 hitting with a stick in

01:02:49.740 the street by the

01:02:50.380 morality police.

01:02:51.260 Yes.

01:02:51.700 Yes.

01:02:52.260 Yes.

01:02:52.380 That's very common,

01:02:52.980 isn't it?

01:02:53.740 Yes.

01:02:54.180 It used to be a lot

01:02:54.780 more common in Saudi

01:02:55.520 Arabia.

01:02:55.980 It's stopped now.

01:02:57.420 In Saudi Arabia, under

01:02:58.420 Mohammed bin Salman,

01:02:59.580 there was the building

01:03:02.000 of the religious police,

01:03:03.000 and I remember going

01:03:04.980 there one time, and it

01:03:05.900 was close to AIDS, and

01:03:08.140 he had them put up

01:03:09.440 posters of a music

01:03:10.780 concert on the building

01:03:12.240 of the religious police

01:03:13.240 as a way of rubbing

01:03:14.860 their noses and

01:03:15.580 humiliating them.

01:03:17.380 So Saudi Arabia is

01:03:18.820 nowhere near liberal, and

01:03:20.660 the society is not

01:03:21.520 liberal, but there is a

01:03:24.220 real change that is

01:03:25.520 happening.

01:03:26.260 Yes.

01:03:26.380 So it's very liberal of

01:03:27.400 them to allow music at

01:03:28.320 all.

01:03:29.440 It was a deliberate

01:03:30.200 insult.

01:03:30.840 That was Quranic

01:03:31.860 verses or something.

01:03:32.560 Yes.

01:03:32.900 Anyway, so Saudi Arabia,

01:03:36.160 they go for the hijab,

01:03:37.940 not Burkha, Sudan, the

01:03:39.360 hijab, and so on, and

01:03:40.640 I've got that in the

01:03:41.520 right-hand column.

01:03:42.120 I won't read it all out

01:03:42.800 because we're a bit

01:03:43.100 impressed with time, but

01:03:43.900 you can read the

01:03:45.540 restrictions on women in

01:03:48.780 all of these places.

01:03:50.740 Rural Pakistan, they like

01:03:51.980 to go for the hijab or

01:03:53.080 the niqab, Somalia, UAE,

01:03:56.600 Brunel, all of those

01:03:57.280 places.

01:03:57.520 But then I also got a

01:03:58.660 table here of, because

01:04:00.060 apparently, Keir Starman

01:04:02.200 says, it is unthinkable

01:04:04.020 that we should ban this

01:04:05.760 stuff, and actually I

01:04:07.020 agree with him because I

01:04:07.740 want people to see how

01:04:08.820 bad it's getting, but

01:04:09.900 here's all the places that

01:04:11.400 have banned this stuff.

01:04:14.160 France, Belgium,

01:04:15.560 Netherlands, Austria,

01:04:16.680 Denmark, Bulgaria,

01:04:17.720 Switzerland, Sri Lanka,

01:04:18.600 they've all banned them,

01:04:20.040 but we obviously can't do

01:04:21.380 that in Britain.

01:04:22.040 That would be ridiculous.

01:04:22.720 Chad, which is a very,

01:04:23.960 very Muslim country.

01:04:24.900 Yes.

01:04:26.080 Uzbekistan, Tajikistan,

01:04:27.520 I'm also going to point

01:04:28.240 out Turkey.

01:04:29.540 Now, Turkey is a, like,

01:04:31.080 99% Muslim country and

01:04:32.540 has been for centuries.

01:04:34.300 From about 1900 onwards

01:04:36.060 under Ataturk, they banned

01:04:37.980 it in government buildings,

01:04:39.380 which effectively banned

01:04:40.360 it everywhere, because if

01:04:41.360 you're in and out of

01:04:42.220 buildings, it just becomes

01:04:43.320 impractical.

01:04:44.480 They banned it, you know,

01:04:46.040 for well over a century.

01:04:47.460 It was only because when

01:04:48.200 this new guy came in, who

01:04:50.300 is an Islamist, he lifted

01:04:53.140 the ban.

01:04:53.560 But, you know, a fully

01:04:54.960 Turkish country, sorry, a

01:04:56.580 fully Muslim country banned

01:04:58.460 this stuff for a long

01:04:59.120 time.

01:05:00.100 You know, a whole bunch

01:05:01.140 of other ones, Tunisia,

01:05:02.040 German, Italy, Latvia, but

01:05:04.440 we obviously can't.

01:05:06.520 And then I wanted to come

01:05:07.540 to my last bit of this

01:05:08.760 table, is how do you

01:05:11.100 enforce it?

01:05:12.860 Now, some of you may

01:05:15.140 think that everything I'm

01:05:16.040 about to say, because

01:05:17.040 there's a lot of beating

01:05:18.020 women up.

01:05:19.100 Now, a lot of you are

01:05:19.840 going to think that's bad.

01:05:20.980 I just want to remind

01:05:21.980 you that we live in the

01:05:23.700 UK, and if you think

01:05:25.840 that our culture is

01:05:26.940 superior, then you're a

01:05:28.360 terrorist, right?

01:05:29.180 So here's the, you

01:05:30.440 tweeted this out the

01:05:31.380 other day, but this is

01:05:32.920 the UK government, you're

01:05:34.960 a terrorist if you think

01:05:36.020 that Western culture is

01:05:38.180 in any way superior to

01:05:39.480 any other culture, which

01:05:40.640 was a third line or

01:05:41.920 something like that.

01:05:42.700 You're not allowed to

01:05:43.200 think that.

01:05:44.020 You're not allowed to

01:05:44.520 think it.

01:05:44.980 Let alone say it.

01:05:45.500 So bearing that in

01:05:46.760 mind.

01:05:47.060 Actual thought crime.

01:05:47.900 Yes.

01:05:48.180 You are not allowed to

01:05:49.180 think that our culture is

01:05:50.960 better than this, what

01:05:51.940 I'm showing you here.

01:05:52.700 And if you do think

01:05:53.500 that, you're a bloody

01:05:54.220 terrorist.

01:05:54.920 So how do we enforce

01:05:56.800 this?

01:05:57.220 Well, in Iran and

01:05:58.920 Saudi Arabia, women are

01:06:01.480 stopped, harassed and

01:06:02.300 detained.

01:06:02.880 In Afghanistan, public

01:06:04.040 lashes beatings with

01:06:05.400 batons and cables.

01:06:08.680 Iran, women jailed for

01:06:10.120 not wearing hijab

01:06:11.020 correctly.

01:06:12.300 India, sorry, Iran,

01:06:15.040 Indonesia, Malaysia,

01:06:16.200 women excluded from

01:06:17.360 jobs without hijab.

01:06:18.640 Pakistan, Yemen, rural

01:06:19.920 Afghanistan, facial

01:06:22.240 beatings, disfigurement

01:06:23.680 and honour killings.

01:06:25.280 Now, remember, if you

01:06:28.120 think that our culture is

01:06:29.440 better than this,

01:06:32.120 we're a terrorist.

01:06:32.640 Okay, government, you're

01:06:33.280 a terrorist.

01:06:33.880 Extreme right-wing

01:06:35.020 terrorism for thinking.

01:06:36.940 Yes.

01:06:37.320 So you are not allowed to

01:06:38.640 think that we are better

01:06:39.740 than this.

01:06:40.440 No.

01:06:41.820 What else have we got?

01:06:43.740 Acid attacks, common in

01:06:46.260 Pakistan, Bangladesh.

01:06:47.540 Bangladesh, economic

01:06:49.360 pressures, visa denials,

01:06:51.120 UAE and Qatar, women

01:06:52.240 without proper attire

01:06:53.140 denied jobs, access to

01:06:54.620 survey or entry to

01:06:55.580 venues.

01:06:57.720 I'm not sure about the

01:06:58.740 UAE there.

01:07:00.240 Probably in government

01:07:01.200 buildings, you'd have to

01:07:02.220 wear the abaya, but

01:07:04.560 without the hair being

01:07:05.360 covered.

01:07:06.340 Right.

01:07:06.580 Okay.

01:07:06.780 Is it not the case that

01:07:07.360 different emirates, because

01:07:08.740 UAE is a number of

01:07:09.600 emirates, right?

01:07:10.220 Yes.

01:07:10.340 Some are more...

01:07:11.060 So Abu Dhabi and

01:07:12.180 the USA are much more

01:07:13.360 lax.

01:07:14.820 Sharjah is stricter.

01:07:16.680 Yes.

01:07:17.440 But anyway, so there's a

01:07:18.460 list of horrific things

01:07:19.820 that happen to women who

01:07:20.700 don't dress correctly under

01:07:21.880 this system, and you're not

01:07:23.860 allowed to think that it's

01:07:24.780 wrong.

01:07:25.780 Otherwise, you're a

01:07:26.520 terrorist, according to the

01:07:27.720 UK government, which I keep

01:07:28.560 saying, because that's where

01:07:31.740 we are now.

01:07:32.440 Yes.

01:07:32.840 Yes.

01:07:33.160 Now, you may also be

01:07:34.120 thinking, I'll wrap up on

01:07:35.000 this, you may also be

01:07:36.060 thinking to yourself, if you're

01:07:37.680 a woman watching this, it's

01:07:39.040 like, well, I'm not doing

01:07:41.120 this.

01:07:42.260 You and whose army is

01:07:43.680 going to make me do this?

01:07:44.720 Who is going to...

01:07:45.560 You and whose army is

01:07:47.000 going to make my daughters

01:07:47.880 and granddaughters do

01:07:48.780 this?

01:07:49.320 Well, I've answered that

01:07:50.180 question as well.

01:07:52.180 This is your tweet, Faraz,

01:07:54.280 that you put out, and I

01:07:55.220 just want to show this.

01:07:57.040 You and whose army, this

01:07:58.940 army.

01:08:00.280 Let's play this.

01:08:01.320 No, we don't need the

01:08:03.160 sound.

01:08:04.760 So the army that is going

01:08:06.020 to make you do this, they

01:08:09.360 don't need to invade.

01:08:10.660 They're already here.

01:08:11.760 I've always wondered about

01:08:13.880 people who raise the gay

01:08:16.320 pride flag alongside the

01:08:18.420 Palestinian flag.

01:08:19.420 Not the brightest, are

01:08:20.180 they?

01:08:20.600 Not the brightest.

01:08:21.680 I mean...

01:08:22.200 Unbelievable.

01:08:22.920 There is a humanitarian

01:08:24.000 case to be made that what

01:08:25.700 the Israelis are doing in

01:08:26.820 Gaza is wrong.

01:08:29.500 And I personally believe at

01:08:31.940 least big parts of that

01:08:33.420 case.

01:08:33.800 But to go to this kind of

01:08:39.000 event and raise the gay

01:08:40.460 pride flag shows a level of

01:08:43.700 ignorance, willful

01:08:45.300 ignorance, bordering on,

01:08:47.840 dare I say it, willful

01:08:48.860 retardation.

01:08:49.680 That bit is a bit silly.

01:08:51.640 The point that I wanted to

01:08:52.720 focus on is the army that is

01:08:55.440 going to force you to do

01:08:56.340 this, they don't need to

01:08:57.800 invade.

01:08:58.140 They don't need to climb

01:08:59.060 over the walls.

01:09:00.020 No.

01:09:00.220 They don't need to break

01:09:01.200 their way in.

01:09:01.900 They are all ready here.

01:09:04.760 And this is...

01:09:05.500 I know this is Paris, not

01:09:06.880 London.

01:09:08.240 But, you know, how do I

01:09:09.580 bloody favour...

01:09:10.240 Well, there are clips.

01:09:10.620 I have seen clips before

01:09:11.860 in places, particularly in

01:09:14.580 East London.

01:09:15.580 Yeah.

01:09:15.860 Places like Whitechapel and

01:09:19.720 East Ham.

01:09:21.280 Places like that with very,

01:09:22.560 very strong Islamic colonies

01:09:25.220 where they already have

01:09:26.720 Iran-style morality police.

01:09:29.020 So where they will stop you

01:09:30.580 on the street sometimes and

01:09:31.720 say, sort your attire out.

01:09:34.820 And there are thousands of

01:09:36.700 them in Europe and they're

01:09:39.520 already turning out for

01:09:40.420 something like this and we're

01:09:41.940 talking about 2060 when

01:09:43.500 there's a majority.

01:09:45.300 Yeah.

01:09:46.240 No, it's...

01:09:47.320 Again, the intolerant minority

01:09:49.300 wins and this problem has a

01:09:51.960 spiritual dimension.

01:09:53.320 What is the West?

01:09:54.200 The West is Christian.

01:09:55.000 This has to be said regardless of

01:09:59.080 any sort of pushback because it's

01:10:02.940 only Christianity that can fight

01:10:05.380 this.

01:10:05.880 It's only Christianity that

01:10:07.280 successfully ever fought Islam.

01:10:09.620 Secularism has failed against

01:10:10.920 Islam every single time.

01:10:13.020 In Turkey, it's failed

01:10:14.620 catastrophically.

01:10:16.220 In Syria, it's failed.

01:10:17.500 In Iraq, it's failed.

01:10:18.680 In Egypt, it's failed.

01:10:19.720 In Tunisia, it's failed.

01:10:22.960 It's been tried.

01:10:24.440 And if we're going to treat

01:10:25.660 history as a guide or history,

01:10:27.480 at least as an experiment that

01:10:28.980 we learn from,

01:10:30.260 Yes.

01:10:31.500 Well, this is what history

01:10:32.540 teaches us.

01:10:33.480 Yes.

01:10:34.540 So we can either carry on doing

01:10:35.840 what we're doing.

01:10:36.440 We can carry on making sure that

01:10:38.400 we're not terrorists and our

01:10:40.040 daughters will be living like

01:10:40.800 that.

01:10:41.760 Right.

01:10:43.620 Some comments.

01:10:44.580 O Punk says, our culture is

01:10:46.060 vastly superior, terrorist.

01:10:47.980 You're not allowed to say

01:10:48.720 that.

01:10:50.000 It's why they come here,

01:10:51.320 because we're better than

01:10:52.040 them.

01:10:52.340 If only we could leave their

01:10:53.360 well-deserved inferiority

01:10:54.720 complex in the desert

01:10:55.700 creed by.

01:10:56.140 No, Punk, you're not allowed

01:10:57.460 to think that.

01:10:58.460 Wrong.

01:10:59.740 Anti-hedonism.

01:11:00.800 I beg you, Lotus Eaters,

01:11:02.020 learn your gun laws and how

01:11:03.360 disarmed you are.

01:11:04.800 Unless you think muzzle-loaded

01:11:06.060 revolver or bolt-action rifles

01:11:07.520 will save you, you're wrong,

01:11:09.140 rest-destorted shooting club

01:11:11.040 by law.

01:11:11.840 Yes, I appreciate it's not

01:11:12.980 ideal, but it's not like we

01:11:15.320 don't have any.

01:11:15.720 That's kind of the point

01:11:17.620 we're making, is one of

01:11:19.920 it.

01:11:20.060 Right, okay, fine.

01:11:20.800 Let's do some videos.

01:11:23.220 During World War II, one of

01:11:24.440 the problems the Allies faced

01:11:25.880 was tanks getting stuck in

01:11:27.100 the mud.

01:11:27.840 So British company, W.H.

01:11:29.480 Allen & Company Limited,

01:11:30.700 noted horses could deal with

01:11:32.080 mud easier than tractors,

01:11:33.800 and decided to investigate the

01:11:35.040 possibility of a 1,000 ton

01:11:36.840 walking vehicle.

01:11:37.880 They ended up building a

01:11:38.820 60 centimeter tall model

01:11:40.220 capable of walking over piles

01:11:41.740 of books using a Waldo system.

01:11:43.600 But the UK War Department

01:11:44.800 wasn't yet ready to abandon

01:11:46.160 their tracked tank, so the

01:11:47.380 program was halted.

01:11:48.580 However, the concept saw new

01:11:49.960 life in GE's walking truck

01:11:51.680 in the 1960s.

01:11:54.520 That's a shame.

01:11:57.340 It would have been much,

01:11:57.920 the Second World War would be

01:11:59.020 so much more steampunk if we

01:12:00.380 had that.

01:12:01.760 Next.

01:12:02.240 My wife, she still struggle in

01:12:07.940 Afghanistan, but I want very

01:12:11.180 much to go to your gym.

01:12:12.540 UK already feel like home.

01:12:14.700 I download Deliveroo and apply

01:12:17.040 for universal credit.

01:12:18.520 One boat, seven country, now I

01:12:22.400 get pillow, say live, laugh,

01:12:23.840 love.

01:12:24.060 I risk life for freedom and for

01:12:26.900 Tesco meal deal.

01:12:28.880 Three pound, you get drink also.

01:12:31.600 They give me house, money, even

01:12:34.040 hell of a subscription.

01:12:35.100 Is that real?

01:12:38.320 Are these actors?

01:12:39.860 So I don't watch TV anymore, but

01:12:41.420 is that what adverts on TV are

01:12:42.720 like these days?

01:12:43.560 It wouldn't surprise me.

01:12:44.460 Surely they're actors.

01:12:46.020 I don't know if they are.

01:12:47.320 I don't know if they're actors.

01:12:48.320 I don't know if they're actors.

01:12:48.460 I don't know if they're actors.

01:12:49.320 I don't know if they're actors.

01:12:50.320 Oh, okay.

01:12:51.940 AI, yes.

01:12:52.660 Okay.

01:12:53.360 But still, it resonates because

01:12:55.240 it's not far off the mark, right?

01:12:56.440 I wouldn't be surprised if I

01:12:57.520 turned on the TV and it was

01:12:58.580 like that at advert breaks.

01:13:00.280 My question is, where's the lie?

01:13:02.440 Yes.

01:13:02.880 Yeah, right, but it rings true

01:13:04.600 because it rings true.

01:13:06.000 Yes.

01:13:06.820 Right, what's this one?

01:13:08.020 Will the member agree that this

01:13:10.100 isn't about animal welfare?

01:13:12.100 We once saw Nazi Germany put

01:13:14.620 forward into place, into law,

01:13:17.000 similar policies.

01:13:19.520 The justification then was to

01:13:21.820 animal welfare, but in context,

01:13:24.200 this was a thin pretext for

01:13:26.360 antisemitism.

01:13:28.000 The ban was part of a broader

01:13:30.120 program to marginalize and

01:13:32.260 dehumanize Jewish people,

01:13:34.320 stripping away their rights

01:13:35.640 and religious freedoms.

01:13:38.280 What?

01:13:39.380 He's in favor of Jewish rights,

01:13:40.880 is he?

01:13:41.320 This guy is basically attacking

01:13:43.620 the ban on halal slaughter that

01:13:45.440 Rupert Lowe proposed.

01:13:47.440 Yes.

01:13:47.920 And kosher.

01:13:48.380 And you see this kind of thing

01:13:51.600 escalating all the time.

01:13:52.880 So Hamas now regularly makes a

01:13:55.280 habit of calling Israelis Nazis

01:13:58.040 and fascists.

01:13:59.720 Now, these concepts don't exist

01:14:02.040 in the Middle East.

01:14:03.380 It's a pure cultural import.

01:14:05.660 Yes.

01:14:05.920 And it's there purely because

01:14:07.880 Westerners fall for this kind

01:14:09.780 of slop.

01:14:10.460 Yes.

01:14:11.240 And now you're seeing it happen

01:14:13.220 in the British Parliament.

01:14:15.520 And the idea is constant.

01:14:18.120 I spoke about it in the segment

01:14:19.640 yesterday about labor and

01:14:21.340 Muslims.

01:14:23.160 Muslims, you see these guys

01:14:25.900 using the worst aspects of the

01:14:28.500 language of the left to push

01:14:30.720 their agenda.

01:14:31.720 And you see the leftists

01:14:33.400 clapping like seals, essentially,

01:14:36.160 in full agreement.

01:14:38.800 They're very easy to play.

01:14:39.800 I think Majid Nawaz is on record

01:14:44.200 saying that when he was part of a

01:14:48.200 terrorist movement, which I believe

01:14:50.460 he admits to, they would laugh

01:14:54.720 uncontrollably at the leftists who

01:14:59.720 fell for their shtick and the lawyers

01:15:01.940 who helped them and, and, and.

01:15:04.280 They knew that these guys' turn would

01:15:07.780 come when they took power.

01:15:10.480 I have a lot of people on my

01:15:11.700 Twitter feed reminding me that this

01:15:13.520 happened in exactly the same way

01:15:15.400 in Iran, in an alliance between

01:15:18.240 the leftists and the Islamists,

01:15:20.220 the so-called red-black alliance.

01:15:22.780 And the same exact thing is

01:15:24.780 happening now in the West near

01:15:26.100 constantly.

01:15:27.520 Oh, yeah.

01:15:27.820 And we see them using this language

01:15:29.560 incredibly cynically.

01:15:31.200 So thank you, Russian Garbage Human,

01:15:33.040 for sharing this clip.

01:15:33.900 It's very cynical.

01:15:34.460 The argument is, you know, let us do

01:15:36.140 halal slaughter, otherwise you are

01:15:37.580 a Nazi.

01:15:38.300 Yes.

01:15:39.180 Well, it ends up with, let us stone a

01:15:41.900 woman that isn't wearing the niqab

01:15:43.620 correctly, otherwise you're a Nazi.

01:15:45.780 Yes.

01:15:46.240 You're like, yes.

01:15:47.000 Just be intolerant of our

01:15:48.820 intolerance.

01:15:49.280 And then, no reason at all.

01:15:50.200 Yes.

01:15:51.020 You must be tolerant of our

01:15:52.200 intolerance.

01:15:52.700 Yes.

01:15:53.020 Yes.

01:15:53.500 Right, let's find out what's

01:15:54.260 happening with the Titanic.

01:15:57.200 And now for the strangest things

01:15:58.880 you'll find in the United States.

01:16:01.420 This is the Museum to the Titanic.

01:16:03.580 It's located in Branson, Missouri.

01:16:07.660 Now, this is an excellent little

01:16:09.020 tour, but the reason it's here is

01:16:11.420 because the second man who commanded

01:16:14.780 the dive onto the wreck was from

01:16:18.420 this local area.

01:16:19.540 And some of the artifacts in this

01:16:20.860 place are absolutely outstanding.

01:16:22.540 It's funny, though, if someone said

01:16:26.020 to me, where in the United States are

01:16:28.480 they building some sort of museum to

01:16:31.160 the Titanic?

01:16:31.820 I wouldn't have guessed Missouri.

01:16:34.860 I wouldn't have guessed Arkansas.

01:16:37.660 You know, I would.

01:16:38.680 Do those states have beautiful coastlines?

01:16:40.820 I don't know.

01:16:41.300 I mean, my most of the years.

01:16:43.820 No, sir.

01:16:44.180 That's the, you're joking, right?

01:16:45.780 That's the joke.

01:16:46.340 Missouri is in the middle.

01:16:49.780 It's like Nebraska.

01:16:50.640 Nebraska is that we're going to have

01:16:52.060 a maritime museum in Nebraska.

01:16:54.940 Yeah.

01:16:55.780 Right.

01:16:56.420 This looks pretty.

01:16:58.000 Good morning, Lotus Eaters.

01:16:59.720 I recently purchased a new camera,

01:17:01.440 so now you guys can get video hiking.

01:17:03.380 Before church on Sunday,

01:17:04.720 I decided to sneak up the

01:17:05.980 Sunrise Mine Trail.

01:17:07.820 It's a grueling climb.

01:17:09.240 4,000 feet of climbing and only

01:17:10.920 three miles going to the very top.

01:17:13.300 I'd include the ambiance of the

01:17:14.940 creaks and birds chirping.

01:17:17.580 But most of the audio is me

01:17:19.240 panting like a dog.

01:17:20.640 The forest opens to a

01:17:21.940 fern-covered alpine,

01:17:23.420 and the sunrise only added

01:17:25.000 to the beauty.

01:17:26.040 I hope you guys are doing well.

01:17:28.280 Thank you.

01:17:28.760 Thank you for that.

01:17:29.560 We just don't have anything

01:17:30.480 like that in Britain.

01:17:31.660 Yeah, that is better than

01:17:32.440 Winchester.

01:17:32.800 You've got to go to the Alps

01:17:34.180 before you get anything

01:17:35.120 remotely like that.

01:17:36.720 Yeah.

01:17:37.040 We don't have anything.

01:17:38.080 What have we got, like,

01:17:39.740 Snowden, Ben Nevis.

01:17:41.900 This is the best you've got.

01:17:43.240 Yeah.

01:17:43.560 Or in England, it's like,

01:17:44.480 what, something in the

01:17:45.000 Peak District.

01:17:45.600 It's just not...

01:17:46.640 We do have a beautiful

01:17:47.560 country, but we don't have

01:17:48.480 that.

01:17:48.740 We don't have mountains.

01:17:50.380 Big mountains, anyway.

01:17:51.640 No.

01:17:51.920 Proper mountains.

01:17:52.420 Is that all of the video

01:17:53.300 comments now, is it?

01:17:54.940 Yeah.

01:17:55.680 Right, okay.

01:17:57.460 Now, comments,

01:17:59.280 subscribers,

01:18:00.560 note that I've been very

01:18:02.280 keen to make,

01:18:02.920 because we've been a bit

01:18:03.640 light on your comments

01:18:04.560 lately,

01:18:05.100 and you are right to

01:18:06.240 criticise us for that,

01:18:07.760 so I've made sure

01:18:09.400 we've got lots of comment

01:18:10.460 time.

01:18:11.720 Do you want to do some

01:18:12.480 of your comments,

01:18:13.260 Beau?

01:18:13.940 Well, if you read them.

01:18:15.420 Right, okay.

01:18:16.840 So,

01:18:18.040 Matt D says,

01:18:20.000 I love Matt Walter's

01:18:22.000 explanation of why it's

01:18:23.620 obvious that Trump isn't

01:18:24.760 on the Epstein list.

01:18:26.500 Long story short,

01:18:27.560 the left already tried to

01:18:28.540 lock him up on a shed

01:18:29.400 load of flimsy charges,

01:18:30.520 but if there was even a

01:18:31.420 sliver of truth to any of

01:18:32.480 that,

01:18:33.460 the Democrats would have

01:18:34.300 dragged it up a hell of a

01:18:35.160 long time ago.

01:18:35.980 There's absolutely no way

01:18:36.980 whatsoever he's anywhere

01:18:37.840 near that list.

01:18:38.320 Now,

01:18:38.820 I agree,

01:18:39.680 but it's possible that

01:18:42.180 so many people on their

01:18:43.980 side are compromised as

01:18:44.960 well,

01:18:45.260 that they just...

01:18:46.340 That's what I was going

01:18:46.860 to say.

01:18:47.440 I can buy that take from

01:18:50.800 Matt D,

01:18:51.600 but you could also argue

01:18:53.280 that they're just

01:18:54.040 terrified of,

01:18:55.480 like...

01:18:56.760 Being asked about the

01:18:57.500 rest of the list.

01:18:58.160 Right,

01:18:58.580 yeah.

01:18:59.120 Clinton and the

01:19:00.140 Podestas or whatever it

01:19:01.120 is.

01:19:01.520 They just don't want to

01:19:02.360 open that can of worms

01:19:03.560 at any cost.

01:19:04.460 But it may well be,

01:19:05.260 as Matt D says as well,

01:19:07.720 it may well be.

01:19:08.420 Mason Royce says,

01:19:09.820 apparently Trump's team

01:19:11.040 cutting Elon's pick for

01:19:12.800 NASA director was the

01:19:13.740 trigger point for Elon.

01:19:14.940 It was a petty thing for

01:19:15.740 Elon to piss him off.

01:19:17.260 Yeah,

01:19:17.420 I mean,

01:19:17.520 you've got to bear in mind,

01:19:18.240 so I don't know if that

01:19:18.920 is true,

01:19:19.820 and I don't think that is

01:19:21.480 the main trigger really,

01:19:23.020 because he never really

01:19:23.680 talked about that,

01:19:25.060 but his whole life mission

01:19:27.020 is not to make money,

01:19:28.720 it's to go to Mars.

01:19:30.200 The money is just a route

01:19:31.620 for him getting them there,

01:19:32.540 so a good NASA director

01:19:34.900 is probably important to him,

01:19:36.040 but I don't agree,

01:19:37.180 but that was it.

01:19:39.060 I don't know any of the

01:19:39.680 details about that,

01:19:40.380 I'm afraid,

01:19:40.760 but it could be.

01:19:41.500 The director was some

01:19:42.720 kind of progressive lefty,

01:19:46.420 something like that,

01:19:47.820 and Trump decided that,

01:19:50.760 no,

01:19:50.920 we're not going to have

01:19:51.540 anybody anywhere in a

01:19:53.300 senior position who isn't

01:19:54.740 on board,

01:19:55.700 and that seems to have

01:19:57.300 been a contributing factor.

01:19:59.900 George Ham says,

01:20:00.560 I definitely agree with

01:20:01.640 Elon here,

01:20:02.220 you can't throw sands

01:20:03.180 in everyone's eyes

01:20:03.960 and create a department

01:20:04.940 about reducing waste,

01:20:06.480 only to reaffirm said

01:20:07.940 waste in different areas.

01:20:09.100 Trump was awful on

01:20:09.840 spending in his first time,

01:20:11.180 and even worse now,

01:20:12.440 never forget that the

01:20:13.440 lockdowns and free money

01:20:14.540 happened under Trump.

01:20:15.760 Yeah,

01:20:16.100 some of it did actually,

01:20:16.740 yeah,

01:20:17.020 yeah,

01:20:17.240 actually quite a bit did.

01:20:18.620 Yeah.

01:20:19.180 Yeah.

01:20:20.000 I mean,

01:20:20.200 that is fair,

01:20:20.760 it's,

01:20:20.980 Trump is a big spender.

01:20:25.080 Yeah.

01:20:25.840 He is.

01:20:26.180 I can see why Elon got

01:20:28.540 very,

01:20:30.200 very annoyed.

01:20:31.380 Yeah.

01:20:32.700 Yeah,

01:20:33.480 I can see why.

01:20:35.580 Go on,

01:20:36.020 Gibson says,

01:20:36.920 the problem with budgets

01:20:38.300 and party politics is it's

01:20:39.820 a team that is willing to

01:20:41.000 see reality,

01:20:42.440 make the hard choices,

01:20:43.460 and the right,

01:20:44.040 the ship,

01:20:44.440 are always associated with

01:20:45.720 the necessary pain that

01:20:46.960 follows from having lived

01:20:49.360 beyond our means for

01:20:50.380 decades.

01:20:50.920 The polity is far too

01:20:51.900 stupid for democracy.

01:20:53.020 That was actually a point

01:20:53.880 that you brought up in

01:20:54.920 response to,

01:20:55.420 I think,

01:20:55.520 my thing on Elon

01:20:56.620 and Trump,

01:20:57.880 that it's,

01:20:58.340 you tweeted out something

01:20:59.260 like,

01:20:59.720 you just can't solve

01:21:01.280 these problems in a democracy.

01:21:02.440 No.

01:21:02.880 If people can vote

01:21:04.180 money for themselves

01:21:05.240 and you have a universal

01:21:06.100 franchise that isn't

01:21:08.060 restricted by your

01:21:09.680 contribution to the

01:21:11.180 state,

01:21:12.280 then everybody votes

01:21:13.560 for money for themselves

01:21:14.380 and that becomes a

01:21:15.900 structural problem.

01:21:17.340 What would you go for?

01:21:18.960 Property requirement,

01:21:19.840 national service?

01:21:20.420 I would go for a

01:21:21.080 property requirement

01:21:21.780 and national service,

01:21:22.740 yes.

01:21:22.900 You shouldn't be,

01:21:24.600 I mean,

01:21:24.780 if you're going to

01:21:25.920 make democracy work,

01:21:26.900 it can't be a

01:21:28.160 universal franchise.

01:21:29.380 It should not be.

01:21:30.560 Yes.

01:21:31.340 Socrates and Plato,

01:21:32.620 even more Plato,

01:21:33.320 talk about this in a

01:21:34.140 great deal of detail.

01:21:34.820 Plato would say,

01:21:36.100 you should train a

01:21:38.620 certain number of

01:21:39.400 people for their whole

01:21:40.380 life and weed out

01:21:43.600 anyone that's not good

01:21:45.240 enough before you can

01:21:46.880 even think about.

01:21:47.780 That's what we used to

01:21:48.660 do.

01:21:48.880 That's what aristocracy

01:21:50.100 was.

01:21:50.520 That's what the

01:21:52.700 aristocracy was.

01:21:53.540 That was the whole

01:21:53.960 purpose of the

01:21:54.620 aristocracy.

01:21:56.300 Aristocracy solved

01:21:57.200 the problem of

01:21:58.140 nepotism and

01:21:59.540 competence.

01:22:00.620 You get the most

01:22:01.460 competent people to

01:22:02.480 marry each other and

01:22:03.420 then their nepotism

01:22:04.380 also results in at

01:22:05.640 least a modicum of

01:22:06.980 competence.

01:22:07.880 In Plato's Republic,

01:22:09.000 it talks about how it

01:22:10.360 wouldn't really be any

01:22:11.380 sort of democracy at

01:22:12.380 all,

01:22:12.600 but at the age of

01:22:13.460 about 12 or 14,

01:22:14.760 you weed out anyone

01:22:15.820 that isn't clever

01:22:17.460 enough,

01:22:17.820 essentially,

01:22:18.200 and they're manual

01:22:19.500 labourers for the

01:22:20.160 rest of their life.

01:22:21.180 You let the remainder,

01:22:22.180 a small number of

01:22:22.800 people,

01:22:23.620 go through education

01:22:24.560 and travel and then

01:22:25.780 when they're about

01:22:26.240 35,

01:22:26.920 40,

01:22:27.460 even older,

01:22:28.440 they have another

01:22:29.000 test and the vast

01:22:30.880 majority of them will

01:22:31.600 fail and they go off

01:22:32.680 and be bureaucrats

01:22:33.440 and administrators and

01:22:34.300 the tiny number that

01:22:35.240 are left get to

01:22:36.840 control policy for the

01:22:38.280 Republic.

01:22:38.760 I quite like that.

01:22:39.400 And that's it,

01:22:40.000 that's how you do it.

01:22:41.660 I quite like that.

01:22:43.020 And I quite like your

01:22:44.120 thoughts on aristocracy

01:22:45.320 as well.

01:22:46.120 You know,

01:22:46.260 it's not nepotism.

01:22:47.120 He is the most

01:22:48.500 qualified of all of my

01:22:49.440 sons in order to be

01:22:50.300 the,

01:22:50.740 you know,

01:22:51.580 the Chancellor of the

01:22:52.140 Exchequer or whatever

01:22:52.800 it is.

01:22:53.380 Very sensible.

01:22:54.100 I like that.

01:22:54.800 I like that.

01:22:57.440 Lord Nerovar says,

01:22:59.300 the Trump-Muss dispute

01:23:00.840 is sadly necessary.

01:23:02.180 As much as I enjoy

01:23:03.160 the war path Trump

01:23:04.280 is on,

01:23:05.060 he needs to be kept

01:23:05.840 in check and Vance

01:23:07.040 doesn't seem to be

01:23:07.740 the guy to do it.

01:23:08.880 It's also unfortunate

01:23:09.760 the bridge between

01:23:10.520 Trump and Muss seems

01:23:11.320 to be very much burnt

01:23:12.380 now,

01:23:13.240 hoping to be proved

01:23:14.300 wrong.

01:23:14.740 I mean,

01:23:14.900 I think that was our

01:23:15.620 sentiment as well,

01:23:16.480 wasn't it?

01:23:17.120 Do we want to do

01:23:20.500 some of yours?

01:23:22.280 Sure.

01:23:25.280 Sophie Liv says,

01:23:27.520 let's not forget

01:23:28.220 that in some countries,

01:23:29.400 mostly China,

01:23:30.200 you are not allowed

01:23:30.900 to invest in stocks.

01:23:32.380 So to invest in the

01:23:33.280 future,

01:23:33.660 they purchase property

01:23:34.540 instead,

01:23:35.040 just based on the

01:23:35.680 promise that it will

01:23:36.260 always increase in value,

01:23:37.940 even when unused,

01:23:39.280 bracket from me,

01:23:40.420 and even when the

01:23:41.500 demographics are collapsing.

01:23:42.480 England has allowed

01:23:47.860 foreigners to just

01:23:49.480 purchase property

01:23:50.160 as an investment

01:23:50.860 and that's why

01:23:51.920 a majority of London

01:23:52.760 is now Indian and

01:23:53.680 Russian owned.

01:23:54.840 Many of these properties

01:23:55.860 may be empty because

01:23:56.940 the point is the

01:23:58.040 investment with the

01:23:59.060 lack of stock options.

01:24:00.520 Yeah,

01:24:00.720 it could be.

01:24:01.040 It's true.

01:24:01.980 There's loads of

01:24:03.160 property in London

01:24:03.800 which is owned by

01:24:04.540 foreign people.

01:24:04.940 In lots of countries

01:24:06.340 in the world,

01:24:07.380 you're simply not

01:24:08.880 allowed to buy a

01:24:09.780 property or own a

01:24:11.480 business unless you're

01:24:13.360 a full-blown citizen.

01:24:14.260 It used to require

01:24:15.880 approval from the

01:24:17.080 Council of Ministers,

01:24:18.300 which is a huge

01:24:21.100 threshold.

01:24:22.720 Of course,

01:24:23.060 our enemies will just

01:24:23.740 say,

01:24:23.920 oh,

01:24:24.040 that's ethno-nationalism

01:24:25.700 or something.

01:24:26.720 It's just reasonable.

01:24:28.020 It's just reasonable.

01:24:28.740 Oh,

01:24:28.920 no,

01:24:29.140 ethno-nationalism.

01:24:29.960 The prices in central

01:24:31.360 Detroit are really cheap

01:24:32.600 too,

01:24:33.020 but no one wants to

01:24:33.800 live there.

01:24:34.740 Meanwhile,

01:24:35.240 in the suburbs of

01:24:36.320 Novi and Northville,

01:24:37.360 houses start at a

01:24:38.300 half million,

01:24:39.080 a mere 25 miles away.

01:24:41.120 London,

01:24:41.620 the new Detroit,

01:24:42.620 they used to call it

01:24:43.500 white flight,

01:24:44.080 now no one talks

01:24:45.000 about it at all.

01:24:46.040 Yeah,

01:24:46.180 that's what's happening.

01:24:47.100 It's definitely white

01:24:47.940 flight.

01:24:50.160 Binary surfer,

01:24:51.280 part of the reason

01:24:51.920 the dip in house

01:24:52.920 prices is the ability

01:24:53.940 to work from home

01:24:54.720 for many professional

01:24:55.520 careers that over-index

01:24:57.620 massively in London

01:24:58.720 and home counties.

01:25:00.740 People used to have

01:25:01.840 to physically turn up,

01:25:02.840 now you can work

01:25:03.820 mostly or entirely

01:25:04.660 from home.

01:25:05.280 Yep.

01:25:05.960 An example of this

01:25:06.860 mate of mine who

01:25:08.000 is an IT security

01:25:09.120 consultant at a big

01:25:09.980 bank,

01:25:10.560 earnings around

01:25:11.300 100k per annum,

01:25:12.600 former lifelong

01:25:14.180 Londoner that now

01:25:15.060 lives in North Devon

01:25:16.340 30 minutes from

01:25:18.140 a train station

01:25:18.980 and just goes in

01:25:20.280 once a week or so.

01:25:21.560 Yeah.

01:25:22.960 Household ownership

01:25:23.740 is good for the economy

01:25:24.660 because it frees up

01:25:25.480 your money from rentals

01:25:26.720 to go towards goods,

01:25:27.780 etc.

01:25:28.480 But boomers with

01:25:29.440 investment properties

01:25:30.220 because negative

01:25:30.940 gearing is a thing

01:25:31.920 lock young people

01:25:33.320 out of the housing market,

01:25:34.560 hence there is

01:25:35.040 resentment.

01:25:35.940 Yep.

01:25:37.280 There is a very

01:25:38.040 simple explanation,

01:25:39.120 white flight.

01:25:39.940 Yep.

01:25:40.060 People with money

01:25:41.160 do not want to live

01:25:41.940 in London anymore.

01:25:42.900 Why would you?

01:25:43.700 Given the choice,

01:25:44.340 I'd rather live

01:25:44.840 in a small town

01:25:45.520 or a village

01:25:46.060 than an area

01:25:47.140 that is only going

01:25:48.220 to get worse over time.

01:25:49.420 I made that exact

01:25:50.580 same decision,

01:25:51.560 went to a small town

01:25:52.560 and now it's becoming

01:25:53.460 more and more

01:25:53.880 like London.

01:25:55.920 Binary surfer,

01:25:56.920 still think you're voting,

01:25:58.160 still think we're voting

01:25:59.100 our way out of this,

01:26:00.300 lads?

01:26:00.580 This isn't just London,

01:26:01.680 this is the picture

01:26:02.160 in every major city

01:26:03.020 in the UK

01:26:03.440 within the decade.

01:26:05.100 So what Firas is saying

01:26:06.080 is we should send

01:26:06.780 ICE to London

01:26:07.420 to lower housing,

01:26:08.020 please.

01:26:08.880 Would you please?

01:26:09.440 Bo,

01:26:12.280 there's a couple

01:26:12.780 of comments for you.

01:26:14.800 Oh,

01:26:14.960 I think I'm the last one.

01:26:16.840 Yeah,

01:26:17.020 go on.

01:26:18.180 Oh,

01:26:18.520 there's specifically

01:26:18.960 four Bo,

01:26:19.440 are they?

01:26:19.620 Yes.

01:26:20.820 This one is

01:26:21.560 for the future of women.

01:26:23.480 Oh,

01:26:23.700 okay,

01:26:23.920 yes,

01:26:24.180 that's me.

01:26:24.500 Right.

01:26:25.700 Yes,

01:26:26.160 so Sophie Liv says,

01:26:27.260 I keep saying it,

01:26:28.600 if you're fleeing Islam

01:26:29.920 but then identify

01:26:30.960 as a Muslim

01:26:31.800 and want a mosque

01:26:32.720 to port now,

01:26:33.460 you're obviously lying,

01:26:34.360 you can't be fleeing

01:26:35.020 from Islam

01:26:35.520 and wanting to take it

01:26:36.660 with you.

01:26:37.180 Yes,

01:26:37.300 that is a bit curious.

01:26:38.100 Let me just mention

01:26:38.880 one thing.

01:26:40.060 In Germany,

01:26:40.960 the first thing

01:26:41.800 that the Syrian refugees,

01:26:44.140 migrants demanded

01:26:45.280 when nice Miss Angela Merkel

01:26:48.100 opened the border

01:26:48.900 was to get halal meat.

01:26:51.440 Once that concession was made,

01:26:53.860 they knew that the Germans

01:26:55.220 were a bunch of mugs

01:26:56.100 and they started demanding

01:26:57.920 anything and everything

01:26:58.820 and started being

01:27:00.480 absolutely horrific.

01:27:01.580 if they had been told,

01:27:03.940 no,

01:27:04.740 you will eat whatever

01:27:05.680 we offer you

01:27:06.320 and if you don't like it,

01:27:07.120 you can go back.

01:27:08.040 Yes.

01:27:08.440 I think something different

01:27:10.700 might have transpired.

01:27:12.300 Well,

01:27:12.420 the clues in the name

01:27:13.120 is,

01:27:13.420 doesn't it mean,

01:27:14.180 Islam mean submission?

01:27:15.920 Yes.

01:27:16.140 So if you continually

01:27:17.860 submit to it,

01:27:19.160 it's like they know

01:27:19.940 what to do with that.

01:27:20.720 Exactly.

01:27:21.360 You had a good tweet

01:27:22.500 about halal food.

01:27:25.260 You know?

01:27:25.720 Yes.

01:27:27.260 What was it?

01:27:28.140 I can't remember.

01:27:28.980 Something about Genghis Khan.

01:27:30.760 Oh,

01:27:31.280 yeah.

01:27:31.880 Yeah.

01:27:33.280 Yeah,

01:27:33.700 apparently Genghis Khan

01:27:34.920 did ban halal slaughter

01:27:36.860 in his empire.

01:27:38.240 Right.

01:27:38.780 So Genghis Khan,

01:27:39.720 who set fire to entire cities

01:27:41.380 who likely defied him,

01:27:43.580 he took one look at halal meat

01:27:44.760 and was like,

01:27:45.200 no,

01:27:45.400 we're not doing that.

01:27:46.120 That's a bit harsh.

01:27:47.000 A few people on Twitter

01:27:47.780 were demanding a citation for that.

01:27:50.940 I got it from...

01:27:51.680 A copy of The Guardian

01:27:52.600 dated whatever it is.

01:27:53.720 I got it from

01:27:54.720 the Fall of Civilizations podcast

01:27:56.620 who quoted

01:27:57.340 the secret history

01:27:58.400 of the Mongols.

01:27:59.300 Right.

01:27:59.400 So it's their own words.

01:28:00.840 And people thought

01:28:01.680 it was a gotcha

01:28:02.260 to say that

01:28:03.040 Mongols,

01:28:04.120 some of the

01:28:04.860 subsequent carnates

01:28:06.460 of the Mongols

01:28:07.000 became Islamic.

01:28:08.260 Yeah,

01:28:08.500 after they annihilated

01:28:09.940 Khawazmurian Shah

01:28:11.580 and raised Baghdad

01:28:13.480 and killed the Caliph.

01:28:14.500 Yeah,

01:28:14.820 some small part

01:28:15.680 of the Muslim empire

01:28:16.540 did become Muslim.

01:28:19.460 That is the most

01:28:19.500 twattiest reply possible

01:28:20.880 that you can do

01:28:21.520 on Twitter,

01:28:22.040 which is source.

01:28:23.120 I just want to slap

01:28:24.100 those people.

01:28:24.820 It's like,

01:28:25.120 oh,

01:28:25.280 I'm not your Google.

01:28:26.320 You look it up.

01:28:27.100 You look it up.

01:28:27.920 Literally,

01:28:28.440 all you need to do

01:28:29.020 this day

01:28:29.460 is type in

01:28:30.160 is this true

01:28:30.980 at Grok?

01:28:32.120 Yeah.

01:28:33.140 A fair few people

01:28:33.760 did that

01:28:34.100 and Grok just said

01:28:34.660 yeah.

01:28:37.740 So we've gone from

01:28:38.700 computer says no

01:28:39.400 to Grok says yeah?

01:28:40.460 Yeah.

01:28:41.900 Corax 80 says

01:28:42.960 it's not that the government

01:28:44.520 wants to stop our freedoms.

01:28:45.640 It's just they're jealous

01:28:46.760 of our ability to think.

01:28:48.920 They can't have people

01:28:50.160 doing things

01:28:51.080 so they can't ban it all.

01:28:52.960 They can't have people

01:28:53.500 doing things they can't do

01:28:54.660 so they ban it all.

01:28:55.600 Yes.

01:28:56.400 Yes.

01:28:56.820 Yes.

01:28:57.820 You're reading much better

01:28:59.100 than me.

01:29:02.420 Anonymy.

01:29:03.740 Am I?

01:29:04.360 I should have an MP

01:29:06.920 during PMQ ask

01:29:08.400 if Starmer

01:29:09.120 will make the burka

01:29:10.300 compulsory.

01:29:11.620 That's what I would go

01:29:12.440 in order to not be a terrorist

01:29:14.600 if you make it legal

01:29:16.360 to beat women in the street.

01:29:17.500 Yes.

01:29:18.160 That is the way

01:29:18.980 that I would go.

01:29:20.060 Make it compulsory

01:29:21.040 and then people can see

01:29:22.640 this is your future.

01:29:24.100 Do you like it?

01:29:25.380 And a federal agent

01:29:26.300 has a comment

01:29:26.860 that says

01:29:27.220 I read a book

01:29:28.300 a few years old

01:29:29.180 from someone

01:29:29.600 who encountered terrorism.

01:29:30.600 There was an account

01:29:31.120 of somebody under surveillance

01:29:32.340 going into a mosque

01:29:33.600 and leaving disguised

01:29:35.480 in a burka.

01:29:36.560 He was picked up

01:29:37.180 by his cousin

01:29:38.260 in their car

01:29:39.640 being rammed into

01:29:40.660 by terrorist police

01:29:41.620 who suspected

01:29:42.740 an imminent attack.

01:29:44.320 They were en route

01:29:44.780 to a local school

01:29:45.640 where kids were about

01:29:46.500 to be boarding on coaches

01:29:47.580 for a school trip.

01:29:49.320 In the back of the car

01:29:50.500 was explosives

01:29:51.240 and a rifle.

01:29:52.060 They were planning

01:29:52.500 to kill them.

01:29:53.440 It never made the news.

01:29:55.200 There's no reason

01:29:56.200 why we should know

01:29:56.720 about something like that.

01:29:58.120 Yeah.

01:29:58.520 You know,

01:29:58.980 a school massacre

01:29:59.720 almost happened.

01:30:01.060 You know,

01:30:01.220 why do we need to know?

01:30:02.420 Just gloss over it.

01:30:03.860 Gloss over it.

01:30:04.440 It definitely is

01:30:05.060 a historic thing

01:30:06.080 that often you get

01:30:07.700 a slight man

01:30:08.880 who hasn't got

01:30:09.920 very broad shoulders

01:30:10.800 who isn't too tall

01:30:11.620 dress him up

01:30:12.860 in a burka.

01:30:13.540 I mean,

01:30:14.480 Lawrence of Arabia

01:30:15.340 went behind enemy lines

01:30:17.140 wearing a burka.

01:30:17.580 Tommy Robinson did it once.

01:30:19.100 Tommy Robinson

01:30:20.020 says in his book

01:30:21.540 that he wore a burka once

01:30:22.900 and went into an event

01:30:24.340 by a Guardian journalist

01:30:25.680 had one of his black friends

01:30:27.980 ask if Tommy was

01:30:29.280 in the fact a racist.

01:30:31.240 The Guardianista

01:30:32.040 said yes

01:30:32.880 and then Tommy

01:30:33.620 removed his burka

01:30:34.660 and told him

01:30:35.340 actually that's my best mate

01:30:36.580 and he's black.

01:30:37.880 So what are you on about?

01:30:39.940 So it's not beyond imagination.

01:30:43.560 There's a comment from...

01:30:44.600 Maybe I should do a podcast segment

01:30:44.900 in the burka.

01:30:46.020 Maybe.

01:30:47.740 There's a comment

01:30:48.540 from Sophie Liv.

01:30:49.740 Man,

01:30:50.720 Firas was a top tier hire.

01:31:03.840 I stay away

01:31:05.560 from anything of that sort.

01:31:06.820 Yeah,
