The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters #1260

00:00:00.000 good afternoon and welcome to the podcast lotus eaters episode 1260 i'm your host harry joined

00:00:08.380 today by firas and josh hello because we really just cannot get rid of this man and today we're

00:00:15.640 going to be like bed bugs except only more irritating and um we're going to be discussing

00:00:21.460 the dallas ice shooting where he got three consecutive missed your target awards uh

00:00:27.980 firas is going to be telling us how trump is using ukraine as a battering ram against europe

00:00:33.620 and i'm going to talk about the troubles that are happening in argentina now that malays economic 0.99

00:00:39.800 policies are coming up against the cold hard reality of electoral democratic politics i'm

00:00:45.380 looking forward to hearing about that because i've not heard anything about it i've been doing a lot

00:00:50.300 of reading on it over the past two days and it is um is it is quite worrying but i'll be interested to

00:00:56.100 hear your take on it given that you were an early supporter of mille as well as a military and

00:01:01.460 economics type i like did make sure to get a little falklands jab in there when he was at the un

00:01:06.740 i know because of course he did anyone anyone who brings up the falklands is my enemy sore losers

00:01:13.100 friendship with mille ended anyway with that we'll discuss all that as we get to it let's go straight

00:01:19.740 to the news so as many of you might have heard there was a shooting at an ice facility in dallas

00:01:27.180 and i think so far it had killed two um of the people that he shot as well as himself so a third i think

00:01:35.380 um it's not exactly uh clear how many people have died yet because there's also someone in critical

00:01:42.260 condition it only happened yesterday and so i'm going to go off of um a lot of what the official

00:01:47.460 sources have said as well as tying this into what we know already from previous cases and patterns

00:01:55.460 and things like that as well as the fact that i've done a little bit of research based on some of the

00:02:00.620 local news reports about where it exactly took place how it took place and the character of the

00:02:06.780 person who did it so this is what cash patel says the fbi director um he wasn't asking for gift cards

00:02:13.980 he said um this morning just before 7 a.m local time an individual fired multiple rounds at a

00:02:18.760 dallas texas ice facility killing one wounding several others before taking his own life fbi dhs

00:02:24.660 atf are on the ground with dallas pd and state authorities while the investigation is ongoing an

00:02:29.260 initial review of the evidence shows an ideological motive behind the attack see photo below which um

00:02:34.680 says anti-ice carved on it i mean it's a bit lazy it is yeah it could have come up with something a

00:02:41.420 bit creative with a blue pen i was gonna say it looks like a biro yeah ballpoint pen since when

00:02:47.980 did it become all the rage for every single one of these types of shootings to have some kind of

00:02:53.200 carved bullets left on the scene giving you an idea of what these people believed in because i know it

00:02:59.480 happened with tyler robinson it happened with the shooting in minnesota at the catholic school

00:03:05.060 um it's happened with wasn't there also bullet uh carvings in the bullets of the guy who tried to

00:03:10.740 kill trump last year maybe i can't necessarily remember yeah samson says yes confirming yes since

00:03:17.400 when did they all get the memo that said you have to tell people exactly what you believe on the

00:03:23.560 bullets just have a manifesto just release a youtube turn to tradition or something it seems like a very

00:03:30.680 strange thing and it also i would imagine gives a lot of people conspiracy ammunition ironically um so

00:03:38.120 that they can say that oh well you know this is starting to look more like a fed thing than a

00:03:42.900 shooter thing yeah i wouldn't necessarily discount the notion that young people are susceptible to trends 1.00

00:03:48.460 i mean that's a pretty powerful force and particularly if you're stupid enough to do these sorts of 0.99

00:03:53.260 things i think you're probably more likely to be susceptible to copying other people but if you're 0.99

00:03:57.580 going to blow your own brains out once you've done this you want to have a bit more of a powerful

00:04:01.420 message or slogan than anti-ice that's the that's what's bothering me it's not even f ice it's not

00:04:07.600 sort of something substantial save the migrants or you know save julio yeah against fascism sounds

00:04:14.440 like the kind of spray i'd keep in my car you know anti-ice you know right on the windshield

00:04:19.260 um it's not the best slogan um but it carries on to say um these despicable politically motivated

00:04:25.440 attacks against law enforcement are not a one-off we are only miles from uh was that prairie land

00:04:31.800 um texas where just two months ago an individual ambushed a separate ice facility targeting their

00:04:37.020 officers so obviously this is part of a wider thing right um it has to end and the fbi and our

00:04:41.860 partners will investigate blah blah blah blah blah and it says thankfully no law enforcement

00:04:46.000 personnel were injured um please pray for the injured and deceased and then there was some more

00:04:51.980 information released here from homeland security and it says this morning a deranged gunman attacked

00:04:58.020 u.s immigration and customs enforcement um in dallas from a nearby rooftop the shooter fired

00:05:03.140 indiscriminately at the ice building as well as at a van in the sally port where the victims were shot

00:05:08.820 and i'll be able to um pull up so i've done some digging on google street view to figure out what

00:05:15.760 actually happened can i pause there for a course um if he fired indiscriminately injured three people

00:05:23.860 and killed two of them there is a bit of a contradiction there

00:05:28.720 indiscriminate shooters are famous for missing you know you see that all the time in in black mass 0.99

00:05:36.720 shootings where 20 bullets are fired one person's injured or hit and so i don't know killing two out

00:05:44.380 three suggests precision also if it was anti-ice the idea of firing indiscriminately and the two

00:05:51.600 of the people that you managed to shoot who died are detainees supposedly the people that you're 0.86

00:05:58.020 trying to save or fight on behalf of you would imagine that you would want to fire a bit more in

00:06:04.780 a targeted way i think it was their way of saying that he wasn't a very good shot that's my interpretation

00:06:09.860 and we'll have some more evidence for this uh soon enough uh when i get to it it says um three

00:06:14.900 detainees were shot two are deceased and the other is in a critical condition the government was found

00:06:19.520 with a self-inflicted gun wound um in other words through the head i've seen the pictures don't look

00:06:24.440 them up they're horrible um we can confirm the shell casings were found with anti-ice messages on them

00:06:29.700 this was an attack on ice law enforcement he just wasn't a very good shot apparently so there are some

00:06:35.700 additional um details that have been gathered from his brother who confirmed that at the time he was

00:06:41.640 unemployed and he also confirmed that he was a bad shot um which i think is two important things to

00:06:48.540 the case one that um clearly he just didn't hit the targets he wanted and i think the being unemployed

00:06:56.180 might be a big motivator in why he did this and then took his own life as in he'd given up seemingly

00:07:03.640 and it was a sort of act of maybe depression or something i don't know because his brother also

00:07:08.060 says that he didn't even realize that this guy was political which is an interesting claim and we will

00:07:13.620 look at some contradictory evidence to that maybe he's trying to protect himself in saying well we

00:07:20.940 didn't even have any idea he never talked about politics and so he's got no culpability if that is

00:07:25.920 true my immediate assumption would be the guy knows that there is a popular anti-ice trend and so

00:07:34.100 decides to try and give himself a bit of a more meaningful death by jumping on the bandwagon

00:07:40.400 that's if it's true that he wasn't a political girl yeah because he also mentioned that he was

00:07:44.660 looking to move back with his parents soon and it's one of those things where if someone is actually

00:07:50.560 depressed maybe they're keeping it to themselves till the very end because that's unfortunately

00:07:55.940 something that people do um however that's just one interpretation and we don't have enough

00:08:00.900 information yet to necessarily come to a conclusion but let's have a look at the actual facility itself

00:08:07.120 so i was able to find the the facility here um this is the front of it um so it doesn't look

00:08:14.620 necessarily you know as secure as you might hope if you're working there um this i think is the

00:08:21.400 sally port this is the sort of entrance in and out and if we go um to an aerial view here um you can

00:08:28.160 see we were viewing it from this part here where i've got my mouse along there from the front and then

00:08:33.140 there's this little road area here into this car park which i believe is the only entrance i presume

00:08:39.800 the sally port is either this here um or one of these two doors i'm not quite sure how it works i

00:08:46.340 wasn't able to find that out but my guess would be that the vehicle came in with two detainees either

00:08:52.820 through here or was parked here or here to get to the other part um and that was when he shot and

00:09:00.100 the place where he shot from is this building here um and so he had an overview of the rear of the

00:09:07.400 building and i would presume that it was somewhere around here that he shot them because that's where

00:09:14.840 most of the footage i've seen of the police attention was um and if it were here one would

00:09:20.780 presume he would be a little bit more accurate because that's you know an easy shot very close

00:09:25.940 distance yeah exactly um especially if he had a sniper rifle yeah almost be too close um

00:09:31.460 but um this is the building street view of it so it looks relatively easy if you hop the fence climb

00:09:39.420 the lad you know the stairs sorry and hop on the roof there that's not something too difficult to do

00:09:44.960 there might be another way up but um you can see from the street view here right behind you is the ice

00:09:52.800 facility here so you've got an incredibly clear view of the entire car park yeah and this brings up

00:09:59.820 something that i wanted to talk about briefly is that it's very striking if i go back to oh sorry

00:10:07.820 go to the aerial view here this is basically in what downtown dallas here seems like if if there are

00:10:15.560 attacks on these facilities a very poor place to have it because there are so many um firing points

00:10:21.720 basically and of course these facilities were built without this in mind necessarily um however

00:10:28.740 i would think that it would be a good time to start moving these facilities away from dense urban

00:10:35.560 areas with rooftop views if this is happening dense urban areas that are statistically the most likely

00:10:40.880 to have liberal leaning people exactly and so i would hope that one of the things that the trump

00:10:47.340 administration is going to do moving forward is try and move these out of these urban areas to

00:10:52.100 somewhere a bit more remote with a bit more um security around because of course you know ideally

00:10:58.080 you would want to treat it a little bit like a military base wouldn't you yeah with with these

00:11:02.400 sorts of things going on and have maybe even armed guards at the front that would signify that they're

00:11:08.380 losing control and surrendering the cities you think from an insurgency perspective the first thing

00:11:12.740 you do is to sort of move them out then cut their logistics then target them okay so it will be

00:11:18.560 quite terrible they should instead double down and make sure that the area is properly secured and that

00:11:24.600 everybody who does this is appropriately punished including his entire network i'm not against that i mean

00:11:30.860 there's a if you think about these things from an insurgency perspective

00:11:35.140 the response is to impose control on the cities whether they like it or not well i think that

00:11:44.100 that should be done regardless ice shootings aside i think that they've yes uh been running wild either

00:11:50.360 way but um there has uh been a huge police response here's a little video of all of the police that turned

00:11:57.480 up um despite the fact that the the culprit shot himself and was no longer a threat um but i suppose

00:12:05.080 it's a good sign that it's being taken seriously i suppose um there is something that can be taken

00:12:10.340 from it um and there have been lots of theories about what actually happened what went wrong because

00:12:16.120 obviously if you're anti-ice and you don't shoot any of the people working for ice and instead shoot

00:12:21.800 the people they're detaining uh that sort of indicates that you might have made a mistake and the

00:12:27.180 prevailing one at the minute is that he tries to do a terror attack on ice misses the agents and hits the

00:12:34.120 illegals instead realizes and uh self-deletes as that that is a safer youtube term i imagine he was

00:12:41.420 already planning on self-deleting it's entirely possible yeah although it would make it kind of funny

00:12:46.480 if it was just he was so bad at it well he was no i know i can i can tell and in fact i've got to say

00:12:55.180 sigil stone i appreciate the rumble rant saying that no actually if you think about it he was a

00:13:00.180 based patriot and was an amazing shot i can't read the rest of that though because while it's funny

00:13:04.980 we don't want to encourage anybody no um so apparently his name was joshua jan and his date

00:13:12.780 of birth was um the 30th i always get 30th of april that's it it's the wrong way around 1996

00:13:19.700 yes the americans do it that way yeah i disprove i also like writing out the date in full i feel like

00:13:25.880 it feels proper what happened on the on the 9th of november they always go on about the 9th of

00:13:32.960 november very unremarkable state ah i get it but um anyway um some people have been doing background

00:13:40.240 checks on the guy and here's a screenshot of some sort of profile and what he has here is a communist

00:13:48.620 styled picture looks like a you know ak style assault rifle yeah the full works um it's got the

00:13:57.420 right day to birth as well as fairview texas so he was local seems like the right one you know with

00:14:04.040 these sorts of things you're not entirely certain but this is what is circulating that's what people

00:14:08.040 are saying as well as the fact that he had a previous conviction for dealing cannabis apparently

00:14:15.840 so that sort of ties up quite nicely i think and uh then we have this um this is a picture of the guy

00:14:27.260 um interesting phenomenon that a lot of these left-wing shooters have problems with their chins

00:14:32.060 um just throwing this out there is a little tidbit of my my sort of scientist thinking cap

00:14:37.740 it suggests um an imbalance in in utero testosterone exposure oh is this where they have the long chin

00:14:45.360 because uh what's his name i i only know the rude name that i probably shouldn't say that the one

00:14:51.940 that shot trump's ear i know who you're on about brooks wasn't it thomas crooks yes that is

00:14:57.120 um he had a weird chin um that other guy who shot charlie kirk he has a weird chin it's just

00:15:03.800 just a little thing i've noticed the transgender shooter at the catholic um kids school as well

00:15:09.760 had a similar long chin physiognomy so let's go on to um who people are trying to blame for this other

00:15:17.240 than obviously him himself who you know is entirely to blame for his own actions um the left has been

00:15:23.880 trying to blame the right again um jd vant said the obsessive attacks on law enforcement particularly

00:15:28.260 ice must stop i'm praying for everyone hurt in this attack and for their families perfectly normal as far

00:15:33.500 as i'm concerned and then this fella says the vice president is not a reliable source of information

00:15:38.540 this is now the fifth or sixth time he's posted a political take contradicted by facts from his own

00:15:44.080 law enforcement agencies and as we've seen from the actual facts released by the law enforcement

00:15:49.400 agencies that's not true because they're trying to position um them as you know a right winger again

00:15:56.580 aren't they that's what's going on at least this guy's uh this guy's statement matches up with his

00:16:01.380 twitter bio though there is a certain well he also he explains himself very well well the funny thing

00:16:09.480 is uh i think he gets that from jd vance ah okay i'm enjoying this i also saw jd vance edit um post

00:16:18.040 one of the memes of him with a bold head i saw that as well that was excellent um although i did think

00:16:24.980 maybe you shouldn't be doing that as vice president but it was funny and it made me laugh um i mean 0.97

00:16:29.760 donald trump built up a huge amount of his brand by shit posting on twitter that's true that is sort 0.96

00:16:35.740 of what it's good for isn't it but he's he's pointing out that he had anti-ice messaging carved 0.98

00:16:39.880 on the bullets uh what did i get wrong can't read that word and then um this is interesting lots of

00:16:45.740 people have been going after gavin newsom because he said the night before it happened this happened i

00:16:51.540 i think about 6 45 6 50 in the morning the following day of him saying this um that's happening

00:16:59.680 in the united states of america masked men jumping out of unmarked cars people disappearing no due

00:17:05.500 process no oversight zero accountability happening in united states of america today people ask well 0.88

00:17:11.560 is authoritarianism you're being hyperbolic we're being hyperbolic if you're a black and brown 1.00

00:17:16.840 community it's here in this country you get the idea of what he was saying right and obviously

00:17:22.360 this is a form of stochastic terrorism i i'm remit to say these sorts of things because i think

00:17:28.340 you know often the burden of proof is very difficult to actually prove itself but in this instance you

00:17:35.300 know he's saying these people are snatching innocent people up we need to stop them and then people are

00:17:40.640 going to take it very literally whereas he's doing it for political point scoring not just i mean this

00:17:46.620 is this is what's creating the environment for this violence this is what's granting this

00:17:52.600 violence political legitimacy yes it's being cast as a sort of just response to an unjust act

00:17:58.480 whereas the idea of deporting someone who is there illegally has no injustice in it plus there is no

00:18:06.320 due process the only question is are you an american citizen do you have a valid visa if the answer

00:18:12.500 to that is no get out there's no further process to engage in because the rights of a citizen are

00:18:18.680 fundamentally different from the rights of a non-citizen otherwise you don't have a country 1.00

00:18:22.660 exactly uh i'd argue that should be the case for sort of three generations of migration you know that

00:18:28.240 it shouldn't be you get a passport here you now you're a full participant in the political process

00:18:32.980 it should be even stricter than that so these guys are trying to create a false grievance but they

00:18:41.480 always do this the whole history of the left is based on the manufacturing of false grievances or on

00:18:48.680 the trumping up of manageable genuine grievances well the real motivation here is that they want to

00:18:56.080 import new voters don't they yes and he relies on them to stay in office and he knows that a proper

00:19:01.880 crackdown on illegal voting would change the politics of california fundamentally and he knows

00:19:07.600 the only way he gets to win a possible presidential run is if this cohort is fully backing him so he's

00:19:15.040 working for foreign clients to begin with and when you look at the complete lack of security in

00:19:20.840 california and the policy that sort of allows the cartels to run amok on a border state you have to ask

00:19:27.480 yourself are these people getting paid by the cartels so his whole presentation of this uh very

00:19:36.200 clever rhetorically disgusting in terms of facts and truth and morality and morality yeah and just to put

00:19:43.280 a bow on it we've discussed it a lot uh laying it out in the following of um charlie kirk's murder 0.92

00:19:48.340 which is the the rhetorical game goes you've been taught from a young age to believe that the nazis are

00:19:56.300 the worst thing that's ever happened any sort of authoritarian or right-wing government is

00:20:01.460 literally hitler all over again in all of the movies you see that murdering people who are called 0.60

00:20:07.440 nazis is a morally good thing therefore if anything that is authoritarian i.e hitler i.e nazi they are 0.98

00:20:15.760 right-wing equals nazi equals it's okay to kill them exactly that's how we go and the question is what 1.00

00:20:21.500 did you do when the nazis came to power daddy and the answer is i killed them and that's how they 0.99

00:20:26.540 convince themselves that they're good people they sort of try to manufacture their that story in the 0.98

00:20:31.280 in their heads and sort of push it forward to justify their violence and uh newsom gets even worse

00:20:37.300 because this was only three days ago before um this attack on the ice facility um he says to ice

00:20:44.640 unmask what are you afraid of and of course what they're afraid of is people shooting them yes is is

00:20:51.120 i think a perfectly legitimate thing to be afraid of and especially when they're doing a public service

00:20:56.900 and what they do one very effective insurgency tactic is to target law enforcement when they are

00:21:02.700 not protected when they are not uh in uniform and on the job and in the company of other armed men

00:21:08.480 so when they're unarmed when when is that well at home so if you dox them you then make it easier 0.99

00:21:14.760 for this kind of thing to happen and newsom knows this these are not stupid people that we're dealing 0.92

00:21:19.980 with they all know this because they all support antifa who will go around in masks for years exactly

00:21:25.520 he never said to antifa and mask so of course he didn't yeah and uh they also um yeah he passed a law

00:21:37.160 law that made california the first state in the nation to prohibit federal law enforcement officers

00:21:41.940 including ice from hiding their identities so he knows what he's doing yeah playing a dangerous game

00:21:46.900 very i think people are right to rake him over the coals for it and another person that is not

00:21:53.360 particularly popular at the minute is jimmy kimmel um and shall i torture you all with a little bit i'm

00:22:00.500 not going to play all of it because i respect your sanity but just a little bit i just want to say

00:22:05.580 thank god for president trump and the heroes at ice for protecting us from these bloodthirsty

00:22:10.720 fruit stand vendors spreading their dangerous pineapple chunks and mangoes with a squirt of

00:22:16.460 lime all over the city of course this was before the actual event happened but he's contributed to

00:22:21.640 this perception that these are innocent people that are not to be feared uh when the reality is very

00:22:27.620 very different if you look at the crime statistics these are dangerous people these are cartel members

00:22:32.480 these are murderers these are sex offenders these are not good you know some of them i presume are

00:22:37.740 good people to quote donald trump but brilliant yeah it's just incredibly dishonest rhetoric that 0.68

00:22:44.600 he's engaging in there even if it is that this guy has somehow managed to get across the border

00:22:49.700 using a coyote and hasn't become involved in some kind of human or drug trafficking problem

00:22:55.220 which would be remarkable given the way that these people operate if he is just a guy i just want to

00:23:01.540 run a stand on a street corner selling ice cream great do it in mexico you're not allowed to break

00:23:08.060 into somebody's country so that you can do that also you do get american tourists in mexico there are

00:23:13.460 tourist traps where and and this is known pretty widely that americans do like ice cream you'll make

00:23:19.120 a pretty penny stay in mexico not just that a cash business by definition is wonderful if you're in

00:23:28.240 the drug trade so you want some people operating cash businesses and that allows you to then hide

00:23:35.400 the proceeds of crime so the idea that oh there's nothing wrong with it it's the same as in this

00:23:41.080 country with with the barbershops and the sweet shops oh why do you hate barbers well because they're

00:23:46.060 obviously laundering money and so cash businesses in general they have this problem they don't have it

00:23:53.380 in a safe ordered homogenous society but they obviously have it in a society that's being 0.96

00:23:59.620 infiltrated by foreign criminal enterprises so this pretends that oh he's just selling fruit like you

00:24:05.240 don't know what you're talking about you're just trying to minimize an issue that you possibly do

00:24:09.320 understand and if you don't understand it your intervention is destructive um and if you do you're

00:24:15.820 just malicious so here's another one um ilhan omar this is from a little while ago but not too long

00:24:24.680 ago really um oh no it's not it's um it's in response yeah two days ago this is vile and beyond

00:24:31.420 cruel abolish ice um ice agents held five-year-old autistic girl outside a massachusetts home to pressure

00:24:36.360 her father to surrender to authorities last week um even if that was true i think that's a perfectly

00:24:42.120 good negotiation tactic if he's it sounds like he's holed up with a weapon if they're trying to

00:24:49.260 coax him out of the house and encouraging him to surrender to authorities um and uh actually they

00:24:57.380 retracted the story and it wasn't true which um just shows that she didn't actually do any digging

00:25:03.160 uh video shows ice with five-year-old girl what agents are tempted to arrest her correction an earlier

00:25:07.420 version of this article mischaracterize the activities of ice agents in the video so what's

00:25:11.440 going on here as well is that the democrats are sharing misinformation it's funny that isn't it

00:25:16.580 it almost goes both ways they're accusing ice of kidnapping and blackmail of a child and it turns

00:25:22.680 out to be completely fake everybody sees the original story nobody sees the correction it's a very old

00:25:27.540 game that they play it's it's been done for such a long time exactly and uh here's lots of examples

00:25:36.360 here are people on reddit calling for violence this isn't shut down unlike um people who just post

00:25:43.540 right-wing things get downvoted or banned on this platform very selectively curated to have to

00:25:48.880 reinforce as strong a left-wing bias as possible all of these comments are calling for basically

00:25:54.040 violence but um despite this being against the platform's uh rules they're not removed um

00:26:00.420 and there are lots of people saying it's a random act of violence as well this is the new line that

00:26:07.380 seems to be trotted out there are lots of examples here of you know and they're saying oh these mago 0.81

00:26:12.740 influences are quiet and they're trying to blame um the right for these sorts of things it's a load of 0.95

00:26:19.780 rubbish isn't it it's not true um or they're trying to say that krasenstein a white male again 0.91

00:26:27.180 i thought you're a white male krasenstein apparently not and uh would you be so quick 0.98

00:26:34.800 to jump to characteristics like that disgusting and uh finally lots of people have been pointing 0.94

00:26:42.060 out the pattern here uh it's only been two weeks there's been an attempted bombing of fox news truck

00:26:46.960 uh shooting at sky meadow country club vandalism of charlie's memorials shots fired at abc over

00:26:52.040 kimmel's cancellation uh debate assault at tennessee state uni and they point out that it's nearly

00:26:57.740 every other day um sobiac's also been pointing out that there is a clear pattern of left-wing

00:27:03.080 violence here of lots and lots of examples in just the past week or so this is all within the last month

00:27:09.200 yeah the last 30 days all of this has happened so the the thing is trump needs to be doing something

00:27:16.460 about this he definitely does and i think that needs to be a very forceful response from the state

00:27:21.660 because it doesn't take that many people to overthrow a weak government well designating

00:27:27.180 antifa as terrorists is at least a small start but also it's somewhat symbolic because they don't

00:27:32.060 actually all it does is allow the state to go after people funding them yes but they don't actually

00:27:37.180 really need that much external funding because the way their organized organization operates is that

00:27:42.660 it's a bunch of people that are already sympathetic to this sort of ideology in the first place

00:27:46.520 and they just use the rubric of antifa to meet up and operate as a semi-autonomous cells it is yeah

00:27:52.100 semi-autonomous sort of anarchistic in in nature almost they organize like they have like facebook

00:27:58.600 groups and i mean the fbi reddit channels yeah and reddit channels they have discord servers yeah and

00:28:04.000 they can be made harder for even if they're on telegram the fbi loves infiltrating right-wing

00:28:08.660 telegram channels like why is it so hard for them to do this why have we not already seen the el

00:28:13.920 salvador style videos of them cracking down on these people and they already have palantir with

00:28:19.460 the ability to watch all of these communications networks yeah if you're already giving these

00:28:23.720 contracts to palantir so there is a question as to why isn't there a more concerted law enforcement

00:28:30.800 effort to properly shut them down if you try to organize a nazi chat group on x i'll bet you that 0.74

00:28:37.920 you're gone in minutes not that i've ever tried but if you were to try if this is all just

00:28:42.840 hypothetical isn't it it's it is hypothetical it's also true if you try to do that on reddit on

00:28:48.600 discord or any of these uh sort of different platforms you get shut down immediately and the

00:28:53.480 ai and the algorithms are sort of trained to do that it can be done in the other direction it must

00:28:59.280 be done in the other direction all we got instead is selling tiktok to people who will make sure that

00:29:04.200 it's more pro-israel so there has to be action by the state proper action otherwise you're complicit in

00:29:11.040 those guys yeah they need to be mass arresting people exactly because there are so many people

00:29:15.320 willing to be violent in the u.s and it's that so many ticking time bombs that need to be diffused

00:29:19.960 immediately we know they're violent yeah they are constantly being violent and they say they want to

00:29:25.040 be more violent and even the ones that aren't engaging in the violence tacitly support it so not

00:29:31.200 even tacitly overtly they post videos of themselves cheering it yeah that's true as well yeah so um

00:29:38.000 matt walsh had a very good perspective on it but i'm over time so i didn't want to uh go over that

00:29:43.240 and the final thing i wanted to mention is uh i recently got monetized on youtube if you could

00:29:46.960 watch some of my videos that'd be very helpful but um to sort of conclude there obviously needs to be

00:29:52.400 some very definitive action here as we've discussed trump needs to do far far more than he's done already

00:29:58.600 to crack down on these sorts of violent behaviors and it is for the safety and the good of american

00:30:05.880 citizens there is no moral cause for a president to use the presidential powers than that yes all

00:30:12.780 right may i have a mouse and i will go through the rumble rants and super chat that ran on a little

00:30:16.940 bit no that's fine that's fine i mean i can't judge my segments always run over um busted brian on rumble

00:30:24.700 the ammo text starts with luigi mangione given his memetic status some believe the bullets are

00:30:30.220 copycatism the story that says indiscriminate because he shot into an unmarked van with no

00:30:35.440 visibility thank you for clearing that up for me uh both those pieces of information zeno king i

00:30:40.900 recommend anyone who wants to learn more about what's happening in the u.s read fry the brain by

00:31:01.100 people will still like be likely to vote for him if he is the democratic candidate given the

00:31:06.160 population makeup of california uh that's the sad fact of the matter uh bald eagle the biggest issue

00:31:13.360 with the antifa funding is that u.s allies quote unquote are funding them like germany and the

00:31:18.180 canadian governments do through various ngos and aid organizations sigil stone don't worry guys the

00:31:24.220 left-wing violence will be brought to heel once bondi gets through the epstein files on her desk 1.00

00:31:28.460 so sometime around the end of this administration in 2028 sometime around the end eventual heat death

00:31:34.640 of the universe yeah one of these days on youtube chronicles asks so is josh now back as a permanent

00:32:41.700 saying he wasn't firing indiscriminately but blind he fired into the van assuming ice was inside but

00:32:46.220 instead detainees were so like a normal communist he erased the people he claimed to be saving

00:32:51.000 it is one of the great facts of uh well rules of the universe isn't it sigil stones also said josh

00:32:57.060 said i'll be back and drove a car through my front door his terminator maxing is getting out of hand

00:33:01.820 that's why they call me the firminator so uh let's talk a little bit about what's happening with ukraine

00:33:09.160 and the telegraph has a piece here claiming that the ukrainians are turning the table on russia because they

00:33:15.820 checked one major breakthrough that the that the russian forces recently did as they were surrounding

00:33:22.860 two of the big cities that sort of form the linchpin of ukraine's defense um so if you were to sort of

00:33:30.960 look at a map here this is the pokrovsk area this is one of the linchpins of ukraine's defense

00:33:37.040 the russians advanced here and it seems the ukrainians are trying to surround them and cut them off

00:33:43.400 um which is kind of important kind of not that important that's been done since even world war

00:33:50.440 one hasn't it exactly exactly whereas in reality if you look here in the kharkiv region the russians

00:33:56.280 are doing a pretty important advance towards uh kupyansk and they are working their way towards the city

00:34:04.500 of liman after which they'll target isium and the objective would be to collapse the ukrainian front

00:34:10.920 line so instead of being told about the details of the big picture we're being told that oh they've

00:34:17.680 the ukrainians have pushed back one offensive here and that means that they are actually winning now

00:34:23.060 and the tables are being turned um fake news essentially uh or at best very very instant news

00:34:30.760 big spin yes let's let's exaggerate this one little positive bit of news that we've got to paint the

00:34:37.340 whole thing is positive exactly and now uh trump is saying that after getting to fully know and

00:34:44.020 understand the ukraine russia military and economic situation the economic trouble it's causing russia

00:34:50.440 also not true ukraine with the support of the eu can fight and win all of ukraine back in its original

00:34:57.880 form so we had trump earlier saying that crimea is an on-starter let's freeze the conflict where it is

00:35:04.960 and accept that the russians have taken four ukrainian provinces leave it a little bit in

00:35:09.040 dispute now he's saying no no the ukrainians can throw back russia fully what happened to the trump

00:35:15.580 who was telling zelensky off earlier this year that everybody was celebrating over it's quite finally

00:35:20.380 and isn't it finally we've got a leader who's going to push back and tell zelensky where he can stick

00:35:25.160 it and let them know that america doesn't get involved in these things what happened what's happening

00:35:29.260 with the mineral deal did that just fall through i thought there was going to be some kind of

00:35:33.340 zelensky signed it at the end of the day and he's in the process of selling ukraine to blackrock

00:35:39.680 and to other big investment banks who are going to be really the only beneficiaries of a ukrainian

00:35:45.340 victory um but this is now happening and we are now so we're all excited for esg and dei in ukraine

00:35:53.380 yes the end of this yes right some victory for ukraine right you had koleba the former foreign

00:35:58.880 minister of ukraine saying that they're going to have to bring in people from bangladesh india

00:36:02.980 vietnam to help restore ukraine to greatness because this is what ukraine always was

00:36:08.860 they're going to do rebuild issues rebuild you know toilet infrastructure i don't i don't know

00:36:13.440 about that personally i i don't see the expertise coming from those parts you didn't know that

00:36:18.140 bangladesh has a long history of russian orthodoxy and this is always what it has been and that's 0.92

00:36:23.060 it's always been the builder of ukraine really i never heard your grasp of history is so so i know

00:36:29.260 i'm sorry it's quite remarkable that on a long enough time scale some shorter some longer

00:36:35.140 when since the 20th century you win a war potentially in this case you win a war with

00:36:40.720 america on your side all of a sudden you have to open up your borders yeah to all sorts of third world 1.00

00:36:48.320 population you win a war you lose your country yeah why does that have to be part of the deal

00:36:52.540 yeah that's that's that's a very good question that's a really good question uh anyway he goes

00:36:58.740 on to call russia a paper tiger and says that they're running out of gasoline also just not true

00:37:04.960 got massive um reserves i i i don't understand the logic behind it but here we are uh ukraine on a

00:37:13.820 on a long timeline they will be able to get back their country in its original form and maybe go 1.00

00:37:19.360 further that's an explicit threat then isn't it if you're going to continue supporting them going

00:37:25.120 further that means an invasion of russia yes at at which point like if the thing is the russians

00:37:32.120 can't lose this because if they thought they they were losing they'd go nuclear and so it's just not

00:37:37.340 going to happen that the russians are going to lose this conflict it's just that it is going to be

00:37:42.280 that the cost to the west and to ukraine will be made higher and it seems here that what trump is

00:37:48.440 really doing is trying to put europe in an even bigger bind when it comes to ukraine and keep the

00:37:57.440 war going while making the europeans pay for the equipment the only thing that seems to have changed

00:38:03.800 is that the american aid will fall and it will turn into weapons sales from the american military

00:38:11.460 industrial complex that will be funded by european taxpayers british taxpayers among others wealth

00:38:18.700 transfer from europe to america with the insistence that the europeans buy a lot more american energy

00:38:26.920 so here's trump going off in the uh united nations

00:38:30.460 and look where we are right now in just a short period of time the only question now is how many

00:38:37.020 more lives will be needlessly lost on both sides china and india are the primary funders of the 1.00

00:38:44.680 ongoing war by continuing to purchase russian oil but inexcusably even nato countries have not

00:38:51.560 cut off much russian energy and russian energy products which as you know i found out about two

00:38:59.300 weeks ago and i wasn't happy think of it they're funding the war against themselves who the hell ever 0.61

00:39:07.460 heard of that one so the thing is that um the americans are still buying uranium from russia

00:39:16.940 they haven't stopped doing that and that um european economies are in the process of uh collapsing

00:39:28.380 and people who are cheering this are just sort of you know cheering trump blindly for whatever he does

00:39:35.680 but uh the u.s is saying that it can replace all russian oil and gas in europe big problem with that

00:39:42.860 russian gas and oil is pipelined meaning that it comes in at a fraction of the cost

00:39:48.400 and coal coal obviously not being pipelined but closer distance lower shipping costs much cheaper

00:39:54.900 shame about that nordstrom explosion we never did that we never really did get to the bottom of that

00:39:59.540 who really did that um and sort of see who might benefit from it though yeah yeah yeah obviously russia

00:40:07.260 blowing up their own pipeline which gave us more incentive to engage in peace talks with them

00:40:12.320 um so anyway uh the americans are saying they can replace all of the russian oil and gas

00:40:21.280 which is not true and what has been happening is that for the last two or three years

00:40:30.600 there has been talk of how german industry in particular is collapsing this is from 2023

00:40:40.020 where everybody in the know has understood that the german manufacturing sector must have cheap

00:40:50.240 russian energy especially gas if it is going to function and it doesn't help that the germans 1.00

00:40:55.940 in their green stupidity decided to shut down nuclear it really doesn't help but 0.98

00:41:01.540 um instead they're trying to do solar and wind which can't be used for industry because they're 0.99

00:41:10.200 completely unreliable and which are insanely expensive because many of the industries in in

00:41:17.300 germany like they excel in things like chemical industries where if you interrupt the process then you

00:41:22.420 ruin the process pretty much have to start again in some cases you obviously i'm no expert i'm a

00:41:27.300 psychologist not a chemist right still i know enough that it's not an ideal so for the chemicals

00:41:32.380 industry is a disaster for the auto industry is a disaster usually energy is 10 15 of your costs in

00:41:40.260 manufacturing and so when it goes up by 30 or 40 given how slim the profit margin is to begin with

00:41:46.920 it's a disaster so manufacturing is extremely sensitive to energy prices and you see this story being

00:41:57.360 repeated in 2004 europe is de-industrializing this is economic suicide this is fords right this isn't

00:42:05.040 some uh left-wing pro russian uh thing this isn't some right-wing alternative media this is fords this is

00:42:12.060 about as mainstream as it gets you see this being constantly repeated i think this is the international

00:42:18.820 banker again escalating de-industrialization problem january 2025 and just and just a hundred years ago

00:42:27.080 germany was like the industrial heartland of all of europe pretty much yeah and it still is yeah and it still

00:42:33.380 is and now we have headlines about rust belt on the rhine whereas what the americans are saying is that

00:42:41.340 look we can operate north stream what the russians are saying is that look we can we can start exporting

00:42:46.620 energy to you we can save you economically you don't have to do this but obviously there is a

00:42:52.660 price and the price is ukraine and if you think of the context of of the of this escalation you know

00:42:58.700 you can see it on my real politics show the reason for this is because nato expanded to the black

00:43:04.780 sea and expanded expanded to the baltic sea meaning that it surrounded russia's ports and that's why

00:43:11.320 when ukraine first kicked off the first thing the russians did was save crimea why because sevastopol is

00:43:16.620 where the russian navy is based i mean it's why there was the crimean war against britain exactly

00:43:22.440 in the 19th century exactly exactly so this has consistently been a theme of nato expanding and saying

00:43:30.100 russia is reacting unreasonably and now what's happening is that the americans are saying to

00:43:37.340 the europeans if you want to stay in this war you have to buy all of your energy from us which the

00:43:43.680 americans can't provide in full contrary to what they're saying they don't have enough spare capacity

00:43:48.500 and you have to buy all of your weapons from us and then what's left for europeans welfare for

00:43:57.500 foreigners but then what else so the americans are basically using ukraine to batter europe

00:44:04.340 in part because european leaders are so delusional that they insist on fighting russia

00:44:10.360 if they had told zelensky look you know this war is lost nobody wins the land war against russia on its

00:44:19.260 own borders um things would be much better for europe economically and it could turn to the actual threat

00:44:26.800 which is the collapsing and changing demographics of europe but they don't want to think about that

00:44:32.240 instead they want to collapse the demographics of ukraine and replace it with bangladeshis and

00:44:36.880 indians and nigerians and what have you and this isn't in the interest of united states citizens either 1.00

00:44:42.540 because i can imagine that if they're exporting a decent proportion of their domestically produced

00:44:47.860 energy then that's going to push the energy price in america up as well and it's already gone up

00:44:54.600 if if basically russian gas successfully gets closed off to the west all it means is that

00:45:02.100 everybody in the west is paying even more for energy that's all it means and we already have

00:45:08.040 enough problems with price rises with energy anyway exactly which has been just destroying

00:45:12.340 domestic uh domestic economies like think think if you're in england or anywhere in the west right

00:45:18.540 now how many shops just by people who are local to your town have shut down recently purely because

00:45:24.520 energy prices have skyrocketed meaning they can't afford that it's also going to have unparalleled

00:45:30.320 permanent economic destructive potential as well because the people who can absorb the cost of the

00:45:36.540 increasing energy are already well established so what it's going to fundamentally do is transfer more

00:45:40.760 wealth to the existing elite from ordinary people exactly exactly exactly exactly um so what's

00:45:49.700 happening as a result of all of this is that even in uh north rhine westphalia the afd is gaining ground

00:45:57.460 quickly the spd which was traditionally the the main power there is sort of had their vote chair collapse

00:46:03.920 and slowly we're heading towards a situation where the attempts to continuously isolate the afd

00:46:13.920 and keep them out of government in any way are becoming less and less realistic unless the cdu which

00:46:21.040 is the traditional conservatives ally with the greens who are a bunch of lunatic communists i think that 0.60

00:46:29.160 would be a difficult move i wouldn't put it past them though they would they would do it these people

00:46:35.220 ever ever since 45 germany especially has been just told that you must do anything to stop the

00:46:43.500 quote-unquote far right yes you're actually liberals the afd is a liberal party a reminder it's led by a

00:46:51.740 lesbian whose partner is sri lankan this is not the far right guys like for me this is very lefty

00:46:58.880 uh and i think for anybody saying this is quite progressive so the idea that the afd is far right

00:47:05.360 just you know like if i was to rule germany one day that would not be tolerated um but anyway so the

00:47:14.480 the result of all of this is that the people who are rising are the afd and according to uh deutsche

00:47:25.680 vela these are putin's best friends

00:47:29.200 are they i think they're interested interested in peace yeah they've been more interested in peace

00:47:37.940 which theoretically meloni was at some point reconciling with russia so we have to remember

00:47:42.760 these people lie all the time zelensky was elected as the candidate who would figure out a peace with the 0.81

00:47:48.080 russians we have to remember these people lie all the time and really relying on a lesbian to save you 1.00

00:47:55.540 is not very sage shall we say um but what's being done by the americans is that they are sort of

00:48:04.800 pushing into power people who would one day properly turn nationalistic and if europe is ever going to be

00:48:12.980 independent from the united states well it has to have a good relationship with russia because europe

00:48:18.820 is surrounded by two giants the united states on one side the russians on the other and the muslim world

00:48:23.860 which just wants to destroy it so the only people to partner with are the americans who are

00:48:28.900 mainly interested in the financial interests of black rock and the military industrial complex

00:48:33.540 and the russians who might give you a slightly better deal some cheap energy and buy manufactured

00:48:40.140 products from you it is important to note as well though that both of both of those giants that were

00:48:45.900 surrounded by have a vested interest in keeping europe weak yes because you're a strong europe uh

00:48:53.420 could uh pose a big problem to both of them are at the minute aren't they really yeah but the the

00:48:58.620 thing to remember is this the russians will never have an interest in the islamization of europe 0.76

00:49:04.220 because they have muslims in central asia and in turkey who are a very real threat to them 1.00

00:49:10.140 they've got a larger muslim population in russia than anywhere else in europe exactly and they

00:49:16.700 have the historic memory of having to fight wars to liberate bulgaria and romania and the balkans

00:49:22.540 from the muslim yoke which is something that the united states never actually helped with the only 1.00

00:49:29.100 time it intervened in that conflict was to help the muslims in bosnia and in kosovo so that kind of

00:49:35.820 historic memory matters a little bit was that the part where wesley clark said that the uh europe of

00:49:41.340 the future will not consist of ethno states and it has to be a big multicultural melting pot yeah that

00:49:47.020 was that was a fun part that was wonderful wasn't it i mean that i'm very glad that we went through

00:49:52.060 that experiment um it's it's been excellent for the mediterranean for europe etc but just in case you

00:49:59.340 have any delusions about the ability of the ukrainians to win the war you just want to look at their

00:50:08.060 regular recruitment style which just involves snatching people from the streets and forcing them into vans

00:50:19.580 they just go around grabbing civilians who want nothing to do with the war beating them

00:50:25.900 and forcing them to go into unmarked vans so that they can go to the front line and this keeps on

00:50:33.180 happening uh there are one and a half million men running away from mobilization and every time they

00:50:40.940 think that peace is more likely that sort of encourages them not to go into the meat grinder and

00:50:47.260 die on the front line and you see i'm sorry i know this is a horrific video but you have to see it

00:50:52.540 it um they rammed the car of this guy while he's traveling with his daughters to try to pull him out

00:51:06.060 and send him to the front line this is the extent of the desperation of ukraine for manpower

00:51:14.780 and anybody who says that it's in their interest to sort of look at that poor girl crossing herself and

00:51:20.220 praying anybody who says it's the interest of ukraine to continue with this war to import bomalians 0.99

00:51:28.940 i'm sorry what this is their own police and this is their own police this is their own police so

00:51:37.420 this is just evil and it should be said and we should just stop pretending that the ukrainians are going to 1.00

00:51:44.540 win this war and stop pretending that if they win a good it will be a good outcome for europe or for

00:51:51.900 ukraine or for russia uh the russians are christian brothers we can reconcile with them europe has always

00:51:58.860 figured out ways to live with russia in some form of peace it can be done again 0.96

00:52:02.940 shall we look at a couple of the comments yes it looks like we've got some rather uh contentious

00:52:09.740 ones with people who would disagree with us so let's go happy to hear that uh would you like me

00:52:14.860 to read through them yeah go ahead so on rumble um i'll go down to the ones first that were from the

00:52:20.300 other segment uh so that's a random name jokingly said how did you know that josh is in his underwear

00:52:26.540 when he's preparing his segments well that's because it's a safe bet sigil stone uh trump's

00:52:32.060 probably turned around on ukraine because he signed the minerals deal found out that those minerals 0.97

00:52:36.060 um are in the territory russia took and realized he'd look like a dumbass not getting any money back 0.76

00:52:41.740 well this was something that i pointed out around the time when everybody was discussing the initial

00:52:45.660 drafts of the minerals deal and you saw maps showing that all of the actually valuable minerals

00:52:50.940 were in the territory that russia took and i asked well how will this work given that everything

00:52:55.980 valuable is he going to have to come up with a separate deal with russia at the time i was told

00:53:00.460 to not ask any questions and just be happy that progress was being made yeah so um as ever hindsight

00:53:07.020 has proven me uh reasonable in asking these questions at the very least uh busted brian says

00:53:11.980 it isn't logical fear as it's emotional putin's refusal to negotiate on trump's timeline in terms has

00:53:17.180 insulted his ego so now he has reversed his position not because it's true but because he's angry

00:53:22.060 armitage says it's calling europe's bluff this is in regards to trump's statement of the un you want

00:53:28.060 the war to end do it stop funding russia if you can afford to yeah maybe yeah but as you pointed out

00:53:34.780 as well america as well as buying um what was it plutonium uranium yeah from russia so it seems that

00:53:41.260 there's a conflict there in terms of who has to give in to who yeah matt g hammond is this trump's way of

00:53:47.100 getting the us out of nato nato i don't know man i'm sick and tired of sort of figuring out 5d chess

00:53:54.380 moves that trump is supposedly making i don't know nato is the us anyway exactly yeah hapsification the

00:54:00.540 us and russia called the eu and europe in general's bluff this is the beginning of the end of the silly 0.55

00:54:04.380 post-world war ii european experiment in its systems change is coming the managerialists hate it yeah if

00:54:10.460 you are right that it's the end of the post-world war ii multicultural europe i'm all for it yeah i 0.91

00:54:16.540 hope you're right yeah uh sigil stone of course we need to keep europe soft a strong europe sets itself

00:54:22.300 on fire and russia and the u.s inevitably uh get drawn into it um i i i disagree i think from a u.s and

00:54:31.020 russian perspective a strong a strong europe united um with a lot of nationalist governments who would be

00:54:38.460 willing to work with one another would pose probably the greatest threat to their own

00:54:43.740 international power that they could ever experience far more than anything that china could do 0.94

00:54:48.620 um hence why uh america and russia helped set fire to europe in the past i won't say yeah the the u.s

00:54:57.180 government has consistently worked against european interests for as long as it's existed

00:55:01.820 is it the u.s government always behaves in its own self-interest regardless of what the rest of the

00:55:07.180 world wants and this was all put in place a lot of it was uh kind of got the ball rolling in the

00:55:12.300 post-world war one order yes like people say world war ii all of this started really at the end of

00:55:17.500 world war one and uh you can just go back to statements that were made by members of um of wilson's

00:55:23.820 uh cap um like administration and in the time period between the wars and you can see that there was an

00:55:30.380 old world new world split emerging where the u.s was starting to see an industrialized soviet russia

00:55:38.060 as more of an ally in the new world even just go and see what some of fdr's administration administration

00:55:43.980 were saying about how they would be able to guide the world together following the end of the second

00:55:49.100 world war and think how well did that go did the u.s end up sending and russia end up setting the world

00:55:54.780 on fire i would argue at least partially yeah that's a random name i love how trump's comments

00:55:59.980 about this war were so retarded that everyone in the chat is coming up with any explanation to make 0.95

00:56:03.740 it make sense well congratulations you've cottoned on to the secret of donald trump's success over the 0.97

00:56:09.980 past 10 years which has been say any random shit and people will make up an excuse for why it makes 0.69

00:56:16.140 sense uh on youtube i'm a weird pineapple and chili pizza people person good for you thank you 0.83

00:56:22.380 sounds like a nice pizza though and you're making me hungry uh oh come on pineapple on pizza is a

00:56:26.300 crime i tend not to go for it but i could eat it not that fussy all right marks i'm gonna get us off

00:56:32.460 the pineapple on pizza sorry too contentious back to the ukraine war my stomach is turning uh stripe

00:56:38.140 added ideal and other countries specific banking options but they need to be turned on at settings

00:56:42.460 payments payment methods mino cc okay thank you um so the choice for ukraine is to become russia or barat

00:56:50.300 that's not a great that's not a great choice for them sadly russia man russia any day of the week

00:56:55.100 are you serious uh speaking as an american i'm very proud that we continue to be a very reliable

00:57:00.060 source of really interesting content true well you are like the most powerful country in the world so

00:57:05.100 it only makes sense we're all provinces in the empire at the end of the day yeah uh and again whenever

00:57:10.060 we're critical of america on the world stage we're not being we're not trying to hurt the feelings of

00:57:17.260 american people we know that they're of you we appreciate you there are loads of good american

00:57:22.460 people out there um like countless great american people and i'm really looking forward to visiting

00:57:27.500 the country for the first time next year it should be a great chant a great opportunity

00:57:32.140 dave says i love trump's bluster but this is one instance where it can be fatal his instinct is to

00:57:36.620 oversell his position no matter how weak a hand he's holding this can be fun but in a military

00:57:40.620 situation yeah it can be dangerous trump has done exactly what i expected he would seek peace if that

00:57:46.060 fails blame someone which was most likely russia and then double down on ukraine given his penchant

00:57:50.460 for geopolitics and history i'd love to hear faraz chat about the donbass war with our good friends

00:57:55.820 charlie and furious good work lads thank you thank you yeah and uh finally saint petersburg under

00:58:02.220 nato control by the end of 2026 that would be interesting i would be very surprised i think there

00:58:09.660 would be a lot of death and fire and bloodshed involved in such a thing quite but anyway let's

00:58:15.340 move on to um cheerier subjects which is what happens uh when politics gets in the way of economic

00:58:23.180 recovery so over the past few years um javier malay has become quite a notorious and popular figure

00:58:30.700 among the right he's very mimetic he went around with his chainsaw there were quite a few segments

00:58:36.060 on this podcast itself particularly with josh celebrating the kind of progress and change

00:58:41.420 that he was looking to make in argentina even before he was elected near the end of 2023 because

00:58:47.900 argentina it only takes five minutes of looking into argentina's history over the past hundred

00:58:53.180 years to understand this place has been one disaster after another more time spent under military

00:58:59.500 dictatorship than under any kind of elected government uh the most imf bailouts of any

00:59:06.220 country which has taken up according to some graphs that i have seen one third of all imf bailouts

00:59:13.020 since the imf was established and it's just a very difficult kind of problem to solve at one point

00:59:20.860 it was actually projected to be a superpower yes in like the 1980s i think it was if i'm right off the top

00:59:26.700 of my head because they've they've got the ability to have a very good economy actually and it is

00:59:32.940 purely through economic mismanagement that this has happened yes and uh malay seems to offer a counter

00:59:39.660 to that and a possible solution a uh long-time economist a free market libertarian anarcho-capitalist

00:59:46.460 by his own statements he came out of nowhere from us in the west although i'm aware that in argentina

00:59:52.220 he was already well established as a firebrand economist who went on lots of talk shows had

00:59:57.500 lots of talking points we saw lots of clips of him calling out what he was referring to in the 0.96

01:00:01.820 subtitles i don't know if this is an accurate description as uh shit leftards and saying how 0.97

01:00:07.980 they destroy everything so they need to be destroyed and initially after he was elected he 0.59

01:00:13.740 had some really great results we saw that he was shutting down a lot of unnecessary government

01:00:18.620 waste uh there are a number of videos that you can always check out about how the economy was

01:00:23.180 starting to turn around it went from uh for instance having a huge deficit to suddenly by the

01:00:29.100 end of 2024 as a result of economic um economic policies that he had put in that really cut spending

01:00:36.380 fired by thousands of government employees they'd gone from a massive deficit to actually having

01:00:42.060 a fiscal surplus for the first time in 123 years argentina had monthly inflation that was overwhelming

01:00:50.780 the country's finances you can see that the december of 2023 monthly inflation was 25.5 percent and on a

01:00:59.580 yearly basis that was reaching almost 300 percent now it had been brought by november of 2024 down to

01:01:05.580 2.4 percent so a lot of success a lot of success but then earlier on this year they have to go for

01:01:14.860 another new deal with the imf which was helped uh helped in its brokerage by donald trump and the us and

01:01:23.420 the secretary of the treasury um scott besant and it's it said that it was another 20 billion dollar imf

01:01:32.220 loan malay addressed the nation saying today we're breaking the cycle of disillusionment and

01:01:36.460 disenchantment and beginning to move forward for the first time and this article goes on to say that

01:01:41.500 since its first package in 1958 argentina had been the recipient of more imf programs than any other

01:01:47.100 country a record 23 deals amounting to 177 billion dollars in loans but due to the conditions of the

01:01:56.140 loans themselves policies inflationary pressures and a lot of other problems they did little to

01:02:02.220 boost the economy so it's often been a band-aid that has not actually done anything to help them

01:02:07.980 and again despite this there was a lot of new uh opportunity in argentina the inflation and everything

01:02:16.300 going down but of course with essentially a policy of austerity this caused a lot of division

01:02:23.900 within the country a lot of problems were starting to hit the people who had been his base for the

01:02:30.060 2023 election and that would be the lower middle and working classes who were most often hit by

01:02:36.780 problems like inflation well when you're trying to right the ship of an economy it can lead to peaks and

01:02:44.380 valleys for a lot of people things can go great and then they can go down and argentina has been

01:02:50.140 particularly susceptible to boom and bust cycles in the past so a lot of people starting to feel a

01:02:56.220 bit more of a hit than they were expecting off of austerity policies and this ended up losing them

01:03:04.780 a very important regional election on the 7th of september so earlier on this month in the buenos

01:03:11.660 aires province which was seen as a bit of a bellwether for the 26th of october midterm elections

01:03:17.660 that are coming up and what happened was this immediately caused problems for the country so

01:03:24.700 it says here in this article his party suffered a stinging defeat at the hands of the center-left

01:03:30.300 peronist movement in elections to the legislator of buenos aires province that was seen as a litmus test

01:03:35.900 of malays popularity he goes into midterms under a corruption cloud as well so this is another problem 0.79

01:03:42.060 to add to it following allegations that his sister and right-hand woman carina malay received a cut

01:03:48.300 on state medicine contracts for the disabled in a sign of the anger among many argentines over his

01:03:53.660 policies millenia's sister were pelted with stones on the campaign trail outside buenos aires in late 0.99

01:03:59.740 august with skirmishes breaking out among supporters and opponents so what this has meant is that falling

01:04:06.220 popularity people finding uh a lot to be annoyed about especially with corruption is malay's party 0.99

01:04:13.180 did not have a majority in argentina argentinian government as such there were coalitions having

01:04:20.460 to be formed so that he could get legislation through their government well now that it's looking like

01:04:26.460 the people are turning on him those coalition parties are starting to ally themselves again with

01:04:32.780 the left-wing parties meaning that it's going to be very very difficult for him to get any of the

01:04:37.260 further economic reforms put through that he needs to if he still wants to continue writing the ship

01:04:42.460 of the argentinian economy so as a result sadly taking the economic policies that he knows would work

01:04:50.540 and have been shown to have actual financial benefits to the country in the long term in doing things

01:04:58.380 like producing a financial surplus and reducing inflation have met the have hit the wall of

01:05:06.860 politics which is that in a democratic society you need to maintain popularity to be able to do what

01:05:13.580 you want therefore everything turns into short turns into short-term thinking the way i like to

01:05:19.820 characterize the economics of these sorts of situations where as i've spent an inordinate amount of

01:05:24.780 time thinking about how we can wean down the state because i think most western governments and even

01:05:30.140 you know latin american ones are massively oversized and it's sort of like um you're dealing with an

01:05:35.260 obese person you're trying to get them to run a marathon right ideally you want them to be their 1.00

01:05:40.060 body to be as efficient as possible but the process from getting them to be obese to being you know

01:05:45.020 fighting fit is going to be very very painful it's not going to be very nice for that individual and

01:05:49.980 they're going to dislike you for it exactly and so it makes democracy particularly bad if you

01:05:56.140 really want to fix a country democracy works at a time of prosperity when there is a broad national

01:06:01.260 consensus when half the country wants gibbs and you know the economy is breaking down you can't

01:06:09.660 fix it in a democratic manner and you also can't really blame people when they're hard up financially

01:06:16.300 to thinking in short-term ways because they're thinking of their survival rather than long-term

01:06:20.940 investments and so the people on the ground are thinking in very different terms to the government

01:06:25.900 which is not always good yes yeah so as a result of having run headfirst into politics he's having

01:06:33.660 to make political decisions rather than economic decisions which means that he is having to boost social

01:06:39.900 spending now and he said in a televised speech that the worst is over as he unveiled a draft

01:06:45.580 2026 budget eight days after his party was trounced in the provincial buenos aires elections he carried

01:06:53.020 on saying the effort all argentines are making is worth it we understand that many have not yet felt

01:06:58.220 it in their material reality he carried on to say that rome wasn't built in a day but he did say that his

01:07:04.380 dedication to spending cuts and balancing the budget was non-negotiable despite that again so what he said

01:07:13.100 was in these new budgets that he would increase pension spending by five percent health care by 17

01:07:19.020 education by eight percent and disability pensions by five percent above inflation so he is making a bit

01:07:26.220 of a turnaround on some of those economic policies of austerity and frugal spending that were going to

01:07:33.740 help continue to help argentina as well as that other problems have meant that he has now gone into

01:07:40.460 negotiations very advanced negotiations supposedly over another loan from the us because already

01:07:47.260 that 20 billion dollar loan from the imf has already i think had about 14 billion cut into it

01:07:55.420 because they have huge debt repayments that they need to make every single year so in this article

01:08:02.940 it says that there was a an interview with mille where he said that we understood that this year was

01:08:07.500 going to be very complicated we'd already started developing strategies to cover payments for

01:08:11.820 argentina next year which are 4 billion us dollars in january and 4.5 billion dollars in july so we've

01:08:20.780 been working those negation negotiations take time but it's until it's conformed we're not making any

01:08:25.740 announcements we're working hard we're very advanced it's a matter of time too so he's trying to remain

01:08:29.900 optimistic but that's almost 9 billion dollars need to be paid by the middle of next year when they

01:08:36.380 already have a very very low level of us dollar reserves left in their central bank so if i if i had

01:08:44.780 a time machine i really would go back and find the works of john maynard canes and just burn them all

01:08:51.260 because look at the destruction that it's done exactly the western world you know there's this deficit

01:08:56.780 spending borrow now exactly pay back later but i'll be dead later it's a disaster it's such short

01:09:03.100 term thinking it's that this country has permanently been in a debt trap as in what happens with these

01:09:09.980 interest carrying loans to states that are made at these ridiculous rates if you're the guy issuing

01:09:17.020 the loan especially the united states you have an interest in them going bankrupt because instead of

01:09:22.860 receiving currency you receive real assets and so the idea here is to be able to control the natural

01:09:29.180 resources of argentina more effectively and to strengthen the united states grip on latin america

01:09:37.260 using debt as an instrument using usury as an instrument so it's always been bad for countries to

01:09:42.620 borrow big amounts especially bad when you borrow them from a superpower because the superpower will tie

01:09:48.940 political concessions and concessions to its own oligarchs to you receiving softer terms on debts

01:09:57.500 and the longer you remain in debt the more pliant you become the more your society is destroyed

01:10:04.140 so the reason i mean why is argentina so bad because it doesn't see the imf as an enemy

01:10:09.900 it should see the people lending it money as enemies because they have a bigger interest in bankrupting it

01:10:16.620 and then surrounding it and then trying to extract whatever exports it has

01:10:21.580 and transferring them to themselves well it's the 21st century's equivalent of imperialism isn't it

01:10:27.020 it is that imperialism that's what it is but imperialism was more noble and more dignified

01:10:33.020 because it didn't come but it was more honest as well honest it was very clear what was happening

01:10:37.900 to you when you were in when you were an imperial province of an empire we actually had a vested interest

01:10:42.860 in improving the country we colonized that's why because it built up your military yeah so being

01:10:48.300 told that you know you're being saved economically is is a complete lie being told look man you lost a

01:10:55.900 war and here are the concessions that you have to make okay you you see the problem immediately and

01:11:01.660 you can deal with it as opposed to what happens when you have this kind of debt imperialism which is

01:11:06.380 that it hides behind the shadows and manipulates you into thinking that it has your own economic best

01:11:10.940 interest at heart well certainly i mean scott besant on monday put out this short thread saying that

01:11:16.540 the us is considered considers argentina one of their most important allies in latin america because

01:11:22.380 obviously a lot of the regimes in south america are not friendly towards the us milay is very friendly

01:11:29.500 towards the us sees donald trump as somebody that he wants to style himself after therefore they want

01:11:35.500 to keep them they want to keep malay in charge so they're saying that uh one way that they might

01:11:41.180 help the they give options saying uh these are not limited to but these are some of the options swap

01:11:46.860 lines direct currency purchases purchases of us dollar denominated government debt from the treasury's

01:11:52.780 exchange stabilization fund which is i think where this 20 billion dollar loan may be coming from

01:11:58.620 another thing which is being stated is that the us in doing so will purchase uh foreign loans foreign

01:12:06.700 government bonds from the argentinian government to the tune of about 20 billion dollars but again like

01:12:12.540 you say the whole point of a bond is it is debt the argentinian government will at some point have to

01:12:18.860 face down repaying that again so this like always happens with debt-based government schemes will be

01:12:26.300 kicking the can down the line and somebody will have to pick it up again if malay's lucky it will 1.00

01:12:32.140 be him having to renegotiate terms when those debt repayments come in if not it might have to be some

01:12:38.540 other socialist style argentinian government who are not going to be as friendly towards the trump

01:12:43.500 regime his main rivals the paranists were the people that created this crisis in the first place 1.00

01:12:48.140 so they're not going to fix it are they no they certainly won't uh but what's what's some of the

01:12:52.940 other reasons why all of this has happened well this is quite a decent financial times article

01:12:57.980 they say the result that being the provincial election one of the reasons that this caused so

01:13:03.660 much trouble in the first place was that it hit markets already nervous about the corruption scandal

01:13:09.740 which is emerging around malay's sister and it signified the breakdown of his alliances with the

01:13:15.740 centrist opposition and a series of erratic monetary policy moves including interest rate increases

01:13:22.380 that boosted the peso but sapped economic activity one other thing that they've been trying to do one

01:13:27.260 of the reasons that they've got such low reserves of us dollars is they've been trying to balance their

01:13:33.580 own exchange rate to keep the peso unnaturally high which has supposedly been making it more expensive

01:13:39.660 for foreign investment and businesses to come into the country in the way that they were hoping they

01:13:45.180 would come in to try and help the country's economy the peso plent plunged almost 10 percent in a

01:13:50.380 fortnight hitting the bottom of an exchange rate band adopted in april with the imf loan that was

01:13:56.460 part of the agreement that their peso could only reach certain levels fears mounted among local

01:14:02.380 investors that the government would have to obtain the band and abandon the band and devalue the peso

01:14:08.940 compounding demand for dollars and accelerating the run on the currency the central bank spent 1.1

01:14:15.980 billion dollars in three days last week to try and keep the peso propped up the dollar sales in turn

01:14:22.780 unnerved bondholders who fretted the government was burning through scarce hard currency reserves that

01:14:27.740 it may eventually need to repay the debts sending bond prices plummeting the central bank's foreign

01:14:33.020 currency reserves stand at just five billion dollars according to local financial broker gma capital the

01:14:39.820 government has missed imf targets on rebuilding reserves as it delayed buying dollars to avoid

01:14:45.340 dragging down the peso so there are a lot of problems that are all piling up on top of one another

01:14:51.900 and this provincial election has kind of toppled all of the dominoes at once they've all hit a boiling

01:15:00.540 point at once where this could be a huge problem and if investors who came into the country following

01:15:07.180 javier malay's election seeing that it might be in a place where you know it's business friendly now

01:15:12.300 think well he's not going to last at the next election he's not going to all of his all of his

01:15:17.180 policies are going to get overturned at the midterms if people if the government won't put them through

01:15:23.660 and if they'll override his vetoes on their increased spending increased tax they're all going to pull out

01:15:30.620 and all foreign investment is going to pull out of the country and it's going to collapse again

01:15:33.980 and then what happens well if we look at argentinian history presumably the military coups again which

01:15:41.260 just is something that happens every like 15 years or so in argentina yeah i think this whole democracy

01:15:47.500 nonsense has to stop at some point yeah if this is especially when it comes to proportional representation

01:15:52.540 especially toxic is proportional representation it's just destructive yeah but again negotiations are

01:15:59.420 ongoing donald trump has put his full weight of a full endorsement behind javier malay at the un

01:16:07.100 so he did that uh they're negotiating so we'll see what ends up being the end result of those international

01:16:13.180 loan negotiations but what is the one thing that a um argentinian president who's currently facing

01:16:20.940 unpopularity what is the one thing that he can do to try and get some kind of popular support behind him

01:16:27.260 well he can lay claim to the forklands again stop it i hope he fails you lost every single time you have

01:16:38.940 lost on this so sort your own finances out however you can and leave the forklands alone all right this

01:16:47.980 is your last warning we don't want to have to do it again we've only got better and stronger since

01:16:52.940 last time and you've only got weaker so like your your economy is already about to collapse the

01:16:59.100 question that you have to ask yourself is does someone like keir starmer have the political will

01:17:03.820 to defend the falklands i don't want to let him know about anything like that so we just maintain a

01:17:09.340 strong front for us all right at this at this rate a bunch of lads in a few dinghies can just drive

01:17:14.620 over there and and then fight off the the people with water pistols because that's all the argentines can

01:17:20.140 afford yeah anyway so that's that we'll go through the super chats and then get on to the video

01:17:25.740 comments so bald eagle the problem with the demand for pesos is that drug cartels want pesos and the

01:17:30.540 single reason why demand is so high it's so bad the us had to put a cap on us dollars being used to get

01:17:35.980 pesos no surprise mexican pace i don't know whether they're the same or whether that i imagine the

01:17:41.260 argentinian would be different than the mexican right i think it's the argentinian they might have

01:17:46.700 the same name yes it might be currencies yeah uh that's a random name i have modernity fatigue

01:17:51.740 democracy fatigue and international banking exhaustion it's also tiresome tell me about it

01:17:56.460 hapsification argentinians are addicted to peronism and going through withdrawal symptoms sadly the only

01:18:01.580 real solution is systems and societal collapse is required for malays system to work again i think 1.00

01:18:08.140 i don't necessarily think collapse would be required just people being able to bear the brunt of uh

01:18:13.740 short-term pain for long-term gains to actually get out of the end of it but democracy democracy

01:18:18.860 is not built for that democracy is the exact opposite of that is the short-term thinking man's

01:18:24.620 government exactly uh that's um sigil stone us should just buy out argentina completely at this

01:18:32.620 point they're never going to solve this on their own i've malay would probably be actually quite

01:18:37.020 amenable to that solution yeah uh most people don't want to think for themselves that's why our

01:18:41.420 democracy trademarked is awful because the candidate the best appeals to people basest instincts and

01:18:45.580 desires usually wins yeah it's lowest common denominator government uh bald eagle so all 0.88

01:18:51.020 we're hearing is that the losers and leeches in society are wanting free gibbs again and the media 0.82

01:18:55.340 are trying to restore the very thing that destroyed their country in the first place welcome to the 1.00

01:19:00.380 world unfortunately yeah yeah we've got a few more coming since i started talking here bald eagle yes

01:19:06.060 josh they are different but pesos are easier to exchange with other pesos than us dollars i thought

01:19:10.780 that would probably be the case but thank you for clearing it up and uh sigil stone again bald the

01:19:15.340 peso is for the south of the american border what the euro is for you thanks for clearing that up a

01:19:19.820 bit what a cheap currency exchange yeah scott's eye guy kia would probably just give them the 0.92

01:19:24.300 forklands and pay them for it yeah yes yeah by the way if if i ever come to power right i am going to

01:19:31.660 take the uh what's it called those islands that we gave to mauritius i'm going to take them back by

01:19:36.220 force what they're going to do yeah sorry we paid you for them so uh actually you owe us money as

01:19:41.100 well after we take them yeah you're you are right what are you going to do what like naval force does

01:19:45.500 mauritius we can just take our aircraft carriers and drive them slowly past their country and the 1.00

01:19:50.380 wave will just engulf the whole thing uh that's a that's old school diplomacy there just just sail the

01:19:57.980 big gunboat over and let them make their own decision exactly tom rat um gentlemen the solution to this

01:20:05.740 nail all of the west's problems is heinleinianism i need to actually read his books i'm not there's

01:20:13.340 two comments from mark fractional reserve banking allows the banks to use 90 of your capital to

01:20:18.140 create loans you take the risk the banks take interest 100k loans 70 75k interest yeah that's

01:20:24.220 the like banking is a huge destructive force in society and i'm surprised we're not talking about

01:20:30.220 it more if i had my way we wouldn't even have banks i'd just have you know a chest buried somewhere

01:20:36.620 like a squirrel that's the devonshire and you talking right there it's the pirate he'd have a

01:20:42.860 map with a big x on it you'd never be able to decipher it because i'd have lots of misleading rock

01:20:48.220 piles oh okay my keller money is used to make your children dead slaves exactly many of these types of

01:20:54.540 control systems next to fractional reserve banking exactly that's exactly right it's so refreshing to

01:20:59.500 all of our audience know yeah it's wonderful uh democracy just doesn't mix well with fiat money

01:21:05.020 to be fair so i won't say this is inevitably doomed to the bottom of the iq curve argentina hopefully

01:21:09.580 doesn't have to go cold turkey i would say fiat money in general doesn't work i hate fiat money yeah

01:21:15.580 it's ridiculous the only people it works for is whoever is providing the fiat money which is

01:21:20.940 undercutting everybody else's so the u.s federal reserve even they're screwing over americans

01:21:27.420 it's wealth extraction plain and simple yeah uh principled uncertainty says i'm getting tired of

01:21:32.940 other people's problems let's sort out here first then work outwards yeah we're on an international

01:21:38.460 stage though so sadly everybody's problems is everybody else's because we're forced into that

01:21:43.100 way we're all provinces of one empire oh would you look at that funny segue

01:21:51.500 wow governor's island looks so insignificant from up here hey immigrants beat it country's full 1.00

01:22:00.460 okay folks you heard the lady back into the hole we'll try canada 0.92

01:22:09.820 simpsons used to be so good yeah did you see rupert lowe's deportations video i think i did

01:22:16.460 yeah i caught the jurassic park yeah exactly i did exactly absolutely brilliant absolutely

01:22:21.820 brilliant fantastic good that he's got a sense of humor that it's nice to actually see that in

01:22:26.220 politics rupert lowe obviously jd vance recently actually have a sense of humor and they're not

01:22:31.500 as necessary yeah exactly and when rupert came in to see uh came into our office he was cracking jokes

01:22:36.540 he was a nice guy glad to hear it yeah i've not yet met him oh yeah you haven't have you no yeah

01:22:43.020 fair he's not missing out much i'm sorry brilliant that's a low blow brilliant that's

01:22:51.820 fantastic was that the only video comment that we've got i think so all right uh let's go through

01:22:56.860 the uh the website comments yeah josh firm setting fire to a warehouse in swindon i wouldn't do that

01:23:02.780 because they're economically productive didn't somewhere set on fire last night um there was a

01:23:06.860 big fire it was huge oh it was in penn hill so don't worry oh okay i'm sure you didn't set fire

01:23:13.660 to anything no it was just uh an area with dense social housing i would never do that um that's a

01:23:20.460 joke by the way um just to be entirely clear um he says a guy shut up an ice facility must be one of 0.62

01:23:26.300 those crazy right wingers just like the guy who shot charlie kirk everyone knows the right hate them 0.76

01:23:30.220 um yeah kevin fox says and to think only a few days ago the leftist libtards uh was screaming in 0.98

01:23:37.420 anguish because an ice agent grabbed some politician by the waist and threw her across the ground because

01:23:42.140 she was blocking an ice vehicle still far more egregious than one of their own killing migrants

01:23:46.940 instead of the ice agents he was after that's a very good point yeah um martin r i don't know um

01:23:54.940 i think his face looks perfectly normal reminds me of a young john belushi maybe i mean he's he's

01:24:00.060 one of the less egregious ones but you know it's my obligation to mock these people i think some of

01:24:05.100 these recent shooters are a lot less uh dysgenic than some of the others that's just encouraging them

01:24:11.260 you are right that they've got the long chin thing though i know it's a sort of a bit of low

01:24:15.260 hanging fruit as an observation and political analysis but i can't help but point it out somebody

01:24:20.220 needs to keep an eye on wwe superstar edge like you keep an eye on him that's like a mcdonald style

01:24:28.940 joke yeah anyway um read a few from the crane segment we've got plenty of time we can okay i'll

01:24:37.260 do it i'll do a couple more been highlighted here okay um martin r says i don't know i think oh no i

01:24:43.020 just read that one didn't i stupid um safely live says more correctly ice officers are afraid of getting

01:24:47.900 doxxed and see their wife children and parents getting killed and that's completely valid fear 1.00

01:24:52.940 absolutely and derrick power um the master of chippies that's quite a title fruit stands are

01:24:59.820 the us's equivalent of turkish barber shops that's probably a sense yeah exactly what also you've got 0.64

01:25:05.820 no quality control at a fruit stand do you no as as much as i'm a sort of sucker for

01:25:11.580 um transnational corporations at least if you go to a supermarket or a store as you might call it in

01:25:18.300 america you know what you're going to get yep kevin fox says oh the irony nato can only help ukraine

01:25:25.580 with more weapons and tax and tanks by turning back on russian gas supplies that power the factories

01:25:33.260 that make the stuff yes exactly exactly probably it's almost like the whole thing is just a way of

01:25:39.580 making money from taxpayers isn't it it's all one big cycle pretty much uh jimbo g interesting timing

01:25:46.060 as ursula of ursula of underlying announces an eu ministry of truth she did she did they're losing

01:25:52.620 control and are getting desperate yeah yeah uh nicholas where i can't believe we left the empire for this 0.75

01:26:00.060 shit arizona desert rat says as far as i can tell we haven't been doing much drilling in the us so i 0.95

01:26:05.820 doubt we have much oil and gas to spare for europe yeah they're trying to get the prices up that are 0.80

01:26:10.780 paid by the europeans that way there will be more drilling in the united states because they're not

01:26:16.140 going to be as obsessed about the environment as as they are in europe whereas trump is telling

01:26:22.140 starmer about the only country that he likes in europe which seems to be britain uh drill baby drill

01:26:27.100 which means go for the shale shale energy that exists here and go for the north sea energy and that's

01:26:31.740 good advice and that's very good advice we've also got antarctica as well which has a lot of

01:26:36.700 oil reserves up there the part that we've claimed we could be going up there and and we could

01:26:41.020 be cussing down oil prices to unprecedented lows if we're actually serious about it and and there's

01:26:46.620 some offshore off the falklands that's true that's why one of the main reasons they want it in the first

01:26:51.820 place i don't understand why donald trump likes keir starmer so much though it's all i don't think he does

01:26:57.980 man the number of times that he insults him to his face while telling him that he likes him is 0.99

01:27:01.500 quite funny true like i i i really like you everybody around you is an idiot i really like 1.00

01:27:06.780 you all your policies are stupid i really like you what are you doing with your life 1.00

01:27:10.540 um have you considered suicide uh like he doesn't say that no but you know the subtext 1.00

01:27:17.580 the subtexts no he likes great that would be a real dominant move if he actually said that to his

01:27:25.020 face brings in like a samurai sword just places it there i heard you ban ninja swords so i've given

01:27:30.220 you one last one to take yourself out a loaded revolver go behind the right guard

01:27:37.100 someone online i think our ukrainian policy should be leave them to their own devices europe can do

01:27:42.060 whatever they want but we don't have to care correct correct if only uh and lord inquisitor

01:27:47.980 hector rex first we had bows britain now we have firas's germany what country would josh and harry

01:27:53.100 like to reform in their image zimbabwe sorry i'll take scotland and and enforce english manners on them

01:28:01.900 and english ways but also you know half of me is scottish so they can't depose me because i've got

01:28:07.420 blood claims there you go you could probably trace your clan back oh yeah i've already done it

01:28:13.260 but i'd make them great i'm not going to just entirely torment them but i do a little bit of

01:28:17.820 tormenting because they're so resentful to the english well by taking their heroin away i'm going

01:28:22.940 to take your heroin away and i'm going to teach you to be healthy see this vegetable you're going to 0.93

01:28:26.700 start eating them brutal they're going to fry it first but okay yeah my grandparents were terrible

01:28:31.820 for that by the way it's not it's not like a stereotype it is true it's just a true stereotype

01:28:39.900 all right henry ashman given the default position in argentina when things are bad at home is to kick

01:28:44.620 off about the falklands i would reinforce the naval forces within the south atlantic although knowing

01:28:49.180 kirstama he'll likely give the islands to argentina for free and offer to pay off their national debt to

01:28:54.220 sweeten the deal there are many comments like this and sadly yeah probably that's the most likely

01:28:59.180 option uh ashman again this is just yet another example of nations having a tantrum when things

01:29:04.700 get worse before they get better i can think of quite a few other cases including the liz trust

01:29:08.460 premiership where people cannot expect uh excellent accept challenging times to reset the system before

01:29:14.940 things can get better yeah again it's short-termism kevin fox pretty sure it'd be a bad idea for harry to

01:29:20.620 put his employment deals on his esta form when he fills it out all it all it will take is a demo prat to

01:29:27.420 check his form and he'll be allowed in and fast-tracked to gitmo listen if callum can get

01:29:33.500 into america is getting back into england is honestly what i'm most worried about i did that

01:29:38.220 recently and i was genuinely worried just like are they going to stop me at the border and everything

01:29:42.140 was fine there you go there you go i think we'll be all right derrick power british invade argentina and

01:29:47.980 renames it greater forklands that's a great idea yeah yeah they're at their weakest under a different

01:29:54.220 government perhaps under the firmocracy it would happen that's no we're gonna workshop names that's

01:30:02.300 a terrible name erectatorship no and with that i think we've run out of time folks so thank you

01:30:09.900 very very much for joining us thanks to everybody who donated and we'll see you again tomorrow where

01:30:15.260 josh will not be here he's gonna kill me

01:30:24.220 thank you

01:30:54.220 You
