The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters #1295

00:00:00.000 hello and welcome to the podcast of the lotus eaters episode 1295 i'm your host harry

00:00:06.640 joined today by josh hello birass and our old friend jezza free wi-fi and free palestine that's

00:00:15.660 this podcast's new slogan and thank you to jamie for sending in this delightful jump scare that

00:00:23.280 we got in the post and also socialist monopoly where winning is for capitalists dan's gonna take

00:00:31.080 he's in the room with us right now well actually that makes sense you are old friends of his

00:00:36.740 but um dan's gonna take his look over this and see if we can turn it into a lads hour i'm sure it

00:00:45.620 won't be that difficult it's already a parody so thank you to jamie for sending that in we know

00:00:50.160 that you're the guy who also sent in swindon monopoly and uh other than that today we're

00:00:54.760 going to be talking about a uh how the flags are driving them insane i'm going to be talking about

00:01:00.240 con ink crashing and burning and seething while they're at it and fear as is going to tell us

00:01:05.520 why usury is a sin against god and uh other than that after the podcast today at three o'clock for

00:01:11.260 our premium subscribers on the website we have a round table about how they don't get lord of the

00:01:16.840 rings how nobody gets lord of the rings this was your idea so you're the one trying to draw more

00:01:22.120 blood out of the lord of the rings stone i'm not drawing blood out of it i'm polishing it and

00:01:27.080 refining it i'm interested to see why nobody gets lord of the rings well it's mostly the left because

00:01:33.040 i've already done a podcast segment about nick fuente's not getting it and i'm going to give it

00:01:37.460 an honorable mention right at the end if we have time but i don't want to go over and rehash the same

00:01:41.660 stuff but it's basically going over how the left is just like this is our stuff and it very much

00:01:47.040 isn't and my basic argument isn't that it's also the rights it's that there are multiple different

00:01:52.180 layers of messaging and it is not intended to necessarily be a political thing well let's not

00:01:58.280 spoil the whole thing josh so tune in plenty of examples tune in for that at three o'clock if you

00:02:03.620 subscribe to the website and with that let's get into it then should we get jeremy corbyn's face out

00:02:08.980 of here first no i think it's a good motivator it's scary it's terrifying it's like he's heckling

00:02:15.460 me he's trying he wants to give you a kiss josh he's going pucker up yeah i'd rather have a vampire

00:02:23.100 an actual vampire pucker up mr firm let's see if you live up to your name you'd never ask oh dear

00:02:30.460 there you go that shut you up didn't it anyway that's getting clipped my box doesn't work

00:02:36.960 your box is working on this screen so you need to move the mouse to there how long have i been

00:02:42.640 working here anyway i'm the only body only person who ever seems to understand any of this by the

00:02:49.060 way um anyway i should probably get on with my segment now must you yes so the flags are driving

00:02:57.480 the left crazy in britain at the minute and their attempts to co-opt it lasted all of about five

00:03:03.080 minutes before they defaulted back to kind and decided that their race is sexist who knows you

00:03:09.320 know everything every epithet under the sun and uh obviously this didn't work because no one believed

00:03:14.960 them no one thought that the lib dems who will wave the european union's flag over their own

00:03:20.380 constantly would all of a sudden be like yes this is this is our flag now and uh it didn't stick

00:03:26.640 and it's interesting that people were saying well you know they've co-opted it now it's taking the

00:03:31.100 steam out of the sails but actually what has happened is this lasted a very short time it

00:03:35.640 didn't work and then they're back to their usual tricks and in fact they've they've amped it up more

00:03:40.920 than before so this latest story is what i wanted to talk about mainly saint george's flags are creating

00:03:47.200 no-go zones for nhs staff health bosses warn and of course i covered not too long ago um the no-go zone

00:03:54.860 that is white chapel yes and that's an actual you know police confirmed no-go zone because ukip planned

00:04:00.940 a demonstration there the police said it's too dangerous and you can't go there and therefore

00:04:06.760 the the lawful right to protest wherever you so wish i mean it was applied for um legally and i think

00:04:14.380 it was approved and then denied um that's probably the first time in most people's living memory where

00:04:21.040 that's been denied and so that's quite a significant thing and now it's being turned around uh to say

00:04:27.620 that the saint george's flag is creating a no-go zone for nhs staff because uh well the subheading

00:04:35.180 of this article is a trust leader hails the bravery of black and asian health care workers they didn't

00:04:41.120 capitalize black that's a mark against you there sky asian asian yes capitalized those health care

00:04:47.080 workers for continuing to treat patients in areas designed to exclude them almost as if i do find

00:04:53.260 it very strange that apparently the very presence of the saint george's cross generates a magical barrier

00:05:00.760 that actively pains them to go through many people from africa do believe in that sort of thing right

00:05:08.480 sadly yes and most of them are working for the nhs that's true and uh i did find it funny it's like

00:05:14.420 can we have a moment to pause and applaud the bravery of our black and asian health care workers

00:05:19.560 for having to be near our national flag it's like you came to this country what did you expect i mean

00:05:26.160 it is our national flag it's not like back home you don't fly your own flags and many of you are very

00:05:31.400 nationalistic about your own countries but i'm going to read a little bit from this article because

00:05:35.200 it's a sort of gold mine of uh sensationalizing really i think so it says the flying of saint george's

00:05:43.400 flags across the country are creating no-go zones basically rehashing the title several nhs trust

00:05:48.280 chief executives who of course uh very much partisan of the left right because their entire existence is

00:05:56.080 predicated on please throw more money our way because that goes directly into our pockets therefore

00:06:01.860 we want the most left-wing people who's gonna who are going to fund the nhs as much as humanly

00:06:06.760 possible and be less critical of us i think under the new regime everybody who ever said something

00:06:13.700 like that must make an oath of loyalty affirming basic things like actually men can't become women

00:06:20.040 um all people aren't equal britain is the homeland of the british things of that nature that are designed

00:06:27.180 primarily to trigger them and then be held accountable to that oath i uh i think this kind of imposition on

00:06:34.780 them would be would be very welcome otherwise just sack them all anybody who says something like that

00:06:39.000 because of course you've got the the hippocratic oath for the people actually doing the medical work

00:06:44.020 these chief executives basically pencil pushers aren't they they're not actually doing any health care

00:06:49.120 work well usually they're not even oath with the with the new euthanasia laws that's gone

00:06:53.640 i know yeah well um that's pretty much gone so yeah it's it's an insane claim to begin with but please

00:07:01.800 continue they these uh chief executives and leaders have said staff feel intimidated by the national

00:07:07.880 symbols interesting they use the term national symbol there very interesting because that's sort

00:07:12.600 of revealing your hand a little bit there isn't it including when they make home visits the findings

00:07:16.540 follow a survey conducted among senior managers so again more people that have the same sort of

00:07:21.240 incentives 45 of whom were extremely concerned about discrimination towards staff but were they

00:07:27.680 would they have answered that way um beforehand that's a very open-ended statement let's flip this

00:07:32.760 on its head imagine how terrified those poor englishmen are going to be when they've got a home visit

00:07:38.880 coming and then a foreigner walks through their door and they were expecting health care that is true

00:07:45.220 and we're just past halloween but that's a spooky story and speaking the bare minimum of english if

00:07:53.280 any english at all there was this story recently about a guy who basically took his wife's job as a

00:08:00.280 nurse and would sort of do her shifts and nobody asked him any questions about it i assume because

00:08:06.340 they were afraid of looking racist yes yes exactly and you you see the endless qualifications fraud that

00:08:14.340 comes out of places like nigeria and india and pakistan and you kind of go well

00:08:18.120 am i getting treatment here or is somebody with zero medical information showing up at my door

00:08:26.680 it's terrifying really that our health care is that is forced upon us with the nhs we're forced

00:08:32.400 to pay for it we don't can't opt out of it is then administered by people whose competence you can't

00:08:38.100 really truly assess until you're already in in an unfortunate situation as well as which it's assessed

00:08:45.160 very uncritically yes we should look at these things as can you trust these qualifications

00:08:49.560 there should be some sort of test to prove competence if you can't um trust it at face value

00:08:55.420 but none of that exists i could argument argue a way in which you can judge and assess their quality

00:09:01.980 at a glance but i don't want to be charged with a hate crime i wonder what that could be harry

00:09:08.440 there are signals a french a friend's child went to the nhs and they had to try i think 11 times

00:09:15.960 before they could do a uh draw a bit of blood it's terrible like even a lay person has a better chance

00:09:24.160 at doing that than those odds it's ridiculous but it carries on to say um a trust leader said

00:09:32.240 anonymously that there were safety issues around how they work in community and nurses regularly

00:09:35.880 visit patients in the homes he said you're going in on your own you're locking the door behind you

00:09:41.300 i've been in homes with people who have been convicted of sex offenses and we go in and provide

00:09:46.360 care to them which uh are you just scrolling down on here okay so that's not really relevant to the flag

00:09:54.420 issue unless of course the implication is that only sex offenders are flying the saint george's flag

00:09:59.920 but i suppose it's just demonstrating that they're they're going into an environment that could be

00:10:04.500 uncomfortable well they're trying to draw an equivalence here they're saying that if you

00:10:08.920 are a patriotic englishman who has a flag up near your home we view you as being as dangerous as

00:10:16.600 potential of a risk as a sex offender which is incredibly insulting it's not just insulting it's

00:10:23.060 hysterical and it's actively hostile it's a flag of our country this is the kind of behavior that a

00:10:31.060 lot of people across the world display which is a lack of objective feeling where they will just see

00:10:37.900 the signifiers of the out group in this case that being our flag and respond in the most neurotic

00:10:44.480 hysterical shrieking manner possible and that's what we're getting here and they do it so that they

00:10:50.060 can try and get gibbs off of us it's very true it is all about resource extraction there's much

00:10:56.000 research out there psychological research that suggests that people signal basically this

00:11:02.260 virtuous victimhood uh to elicit non-reciprocal resource transfer people understand that the more

00:11:08.520 you scream that you're a victim and but you've done nothing to deserve it the more people give you

00:11:12.980 stuff and uh only in some societies that's in other societies if they see you as a victim then they sort

00:11:18.840 of double down and and and you saw that with with the incidents with with with girls who were asking

00:11:24.220 for help and then oh you've been raped let's do it again so um only in certain societies it only works

00:11:31.620 one way and it's designed to only work one way because of the way the christian culture works

00:11:37.100 it is very much across the sort of christian western world isn't it so it carries on to say

00:11:43.080 we saw during that time when the flags went up our staff who are a large minority of black and asian

00:11:48.340 staff feeling deliberately intimidated well that's just their feelings it doesn't make it real does it

00:11:53.420 it felt like flags were up creating no-go zones that's what it felt like to them you add on top

00:11:58.680 of that the real autonomous working that the real bravery of working in people's homes with an

00:12:04.240 environment where it feels like it's an area that's designed to exclude them do you know what

00:12:08.560 feels like an area that's designed to exclude me minority areas how about that how about london i

00:12:14.200 don't really feel like i belong there how about parts of you know bradford or birmingham places that

00:12:18.960 should be uh white majority but they're not anymore they don't belong necessarily at least

00:12:25.640 in practice to the white british anymore i challenge them to do the same for palestinian flags

00:12:33.080 but nobody ever asks white people if they feel intimidated by palestinian flags

00:12:38.340 also i feel i sense a bit of a threat i i do sense a little bit of a threat in this which is that

00:12:45.900 the the implicate well the the statement is you displaying your national pride is creating a

00:12:52.860 hostile work environment for our staff implying that if you continue to do such a thing they're

00:12:59.280 just not going to send staff to you anymore so yeah if you if you have a saint george's flag up in

00:13:05.320 your area um the eventual conclusion will be that the nhs isn't going to send health care to you

00:13:13.020 which is wild and uh what i did find very interesting is that lots of the media pretty

00:13:22.280 much reported on this in a near identical way this was pointed out by uh this person here uh in response

00:13:28.080 to myself and it was a very interesting observation that i wasn't able to pick up um that they all use

00:13:35.580 the no-go zone thing they all talk about saint george's flag specifically and it all just seems to come

00:13:42.160 from a common point of origin doesn't it it's interesting they all basically report it all in

00:13:47.380 the same way isn't it sort of suggests something is going on and it's co-opting the language that

00:13:52.640 we've been using about ethnic enclaves for a long time it is and and i think that there's some very

00:13:57.960 deliberate things going on there are people who understand the situation that seem to be uh writing

00:14:04.200 the the template for these articles it could just be that um reuters has written an article that i

00:14:10.160 wasn't able to find that was the original source because sometimes that is the source of how they

00:14:15.120 they all have the same thing but not always like uh when when the southport riots are going on i was

00:14:22.300 going to use yeah uh that's had the fingerprints of an intel op you know about as obviously as in

00:14:30.020 living memory and and not to sound too conspiratorial but it's weird when everything has the same exact

00:14:36.380 framing language and although they've got different pictures it's basically saying the same thing

00:14:42.360 that's weird to me is it a raiku op or riku or however you pronounce it probably i don't know it's

00:14:49.140 you could sort of see the subtle difference the daily mail and the telegraph say that it's a claim

00:14:54.080 whereas the others the the independent the guardian and sky news say that it's a fact essentially

00:14:59.620 um so up there it's they warn and then uh in in the telegraph in the daily mail it's a claim

00:15:09.060 so it sort of leaves it open to to questioning at least because it is a stupid claim of course yeah

00:15:15.480 and it is a very unequal and one-sided claim again they would never do that about the palestinian

00:15:20.360 flags they would never do that about an area where you see hundreds of women's and burkas in the streets

00:15:25.400 but they would do it when it comes to the english flags 100 so this is this sort of narrative has

00:15:34.280 carried on talking about making people uneasy here's a labor mp who definitely doesn't have a

00:15:40.160 personal incentive jivan sandher i think i don't know um might as well be called john smith yeah and

00:15:47.600 um yeah he i'm not going to play this because it's a long video but he's saying okay i understand people

00:15:52.200 patriotic but it's making people uncomfortable which is weird and then there's just this people

00:15:58.920 feel unwelcome over england flag flying and then there's this guy looking very stern saying that he

00:16:04.680 took down flags raised in his neighborhood um after local residents said they made them feel unwelcome

00:16:10.860 i wonder why that is if only there was something about him uh that made it feel unwelcoming it's almost

00:16:18.620 like you recognize that you don't really belong here you're not part of the country and it's

00:16:23.420 something against you is this supposed to make me feel bad for this guy no i don't feel bad it makes

00:16:28.180 me hate him is this supposed to be um just reinforcing to me that i live in an occupied country

00:16:35.080 yes it goes to arrogance of it is really breathtaking the arrogance of it the entitlement of it is quite

00:16:43.940 breathtaking i mean here's how i think about it being a middle eastern you're not thinking of

00:16:49.340 someone from the middle east these guys could just as easily be working in dubai in dubai all of the

00:16:55.820 indians all of the pakistanis uh they stopped issuing videos to pakistanis but anyway are made to put up

00:17:03.960 the uae flag on their national day and they deck their buses and they deck pretty much everything that

00:17:11.340 they have with the uae flag and the emiratis are actually maybe 10 of the total population of the

00:17:17.980 country so everybody's made to celebrate it and if somebody says i don't feel welcome because of the

00:17:23.420 uae flag in two minutes they'll be on an airplane back to wherever they came from and that's what we

00:17:29.380 should be doing as well and and that is what happens this is what they accept in an authoritarian

00:17:35.280 society and they fully accept it and they say nothing about it but where they feel that there

00:17:41.040 is uh some give they where they feel that there is space to push they do it and so there is a level

00:17:47.880 of hypocrisy and dishonesty there because you know that if they got a better paying job in the uae

00:17:52.880 they'd move there and you know that they would be singing from the right hymn sheet and they wouldn't

00:17:59.000 be deviating from the official line in any way but here where they feel that they can exploit this kind of

00:18:04.860 leftist narrative they just go all in and it says something if you had any pride you wouldn't do it in

00:18:13.660 one place or the other and you would have a consistent position across both if you had any

00:18:18.700 respect you would say hey it's their country let them do whatever they want but they have neither

00:18:23.460 integrity nor respect and it shows 100 and another example here is this one and this one was quite

00:18:32.800 egregious there's a lot of detail um but because i'm a bit pressed for time i'm going to sort of

00:18:37.440 skip over some of it but the headline is council pulls down large number of flags after racist park

00:18:43.160 attack and of course the implication here is that the flags were the thing that you know they captured

00:18:49.140 the minds of people and made them attack someone and of course the the people who attacked them are

00:18:54.960 the people responsible and it says in the article that they were carrying around flags the men

00:18:59.040 in some sort of racist attack but then they went around and took down the flags and this equivalent

00:19:05.480 seems a bit strange and then they basically argued that um the incident at canoe lake which is the

00:19:12.740 lake here in the thumbnail this is in portsmouth i believe um is very specific and therefore we have

00:19:18.020 decided to remove the flags from this location which seems a strange response until you realize that

00:19:24.780 this is the decision of the local council and the leader of the local council is a liberal democrat

00:19:30.020 then all of a sudden it makes sense and then uh there are other ones as well um well you showed me

00:19:38.020 a picture at the beginning of this segment of the lib dem twitter account celebrating the flag

00:19:44.120 saying that the flags were basically a sign of multiculturalism this was almost like it was a

00:19:49.200 cynical pr move that didn't work and they've got defaulted back to their usual rhetoric because

00:19:55.120 they realized it didn't work politicians lie this is only a reason to keep pushing the issue

00:20:00.540 this is a reason to keep pushing to put up more flags and to just keep challenging them

00:20:05.200 so this is a very interesting one because this involves a councillor for your party

00:20:11.460 so jeremy corbyn no i thought it was your party

00:20:14.540 it was my party i knew it i knew it you're in collusion it was me all along

00:20:20.880 no um so he went up to people putting up flags and started filming them and confronting them

00:20:28.580 and he even admits listen i got a little bit angry but they um got angry in return and then he acted

00:20:35.320 as if like oh these people were awful they're intimidating me they were aggressive they're not

00:20:39.260 even from round here they had liverpool accents but they weren't from this specific local area

00:20:43.860 i'm willing to bet that that's exactly what happened in the previous incident

00:20:47.040 that the guy said something and then they said something back

00:20:49.860 i wouldn't be surprised yeah i think that's a lot more plausible than they were walking around

00:20:54.860 with a bunch of flags saw a random guy and started uh started verbally abusing him

00:20:59.080 because it's not in it's sort of english nature to just randomly start beating someone up

00:21:05.140 tell you what it sounds like sounds like this is MAGA country son

00:21:09.780 it's the same energy as that isn't it yeah jussie smollett oh i think you're playing you're

00:21:15.320 ripping from his playbook there and also apparently according to this some of the flags had racist

00:21:20.200 slogans on they don't name any of the slogans so you can't judge for yourself you've just got to

00:21:24.420 um take it upon them apparently also they were criticizing uh liverpool's only black mp

00:21:31.840 um which might be why it was racist i don't know why um this guy's from a bad mp uh it's a lady but

00:21:39.580 um i wouldn't be surprised do you have her name um it's here somewhere where is it uh

00:21:46.000 sorry it's really spread about here isn't it these terrible articles there's more advertising yeah i think

00:21:55.040 it was up there uh perhaps go up was that kim something kim johnson is that uh might be wait wait

00:22:02.320 go back down it says it says johnson mp councillor gibbons said there were various messages on the

00:22:06.720 flags including one saying stop the boats and another calling for the removal of kim johnson

00:22:10.960 the mp for liverpool riverside which does not cover the area in question so i would assume if

00:22:16.780 there's a black woman mp that's was kim johnson attending the reparations conference a couple of

00:22:22.040 weeks ago i'm not entirely sure but that would be one thing to look into but the idea that you know

00:22:28.360 they just had racist flags um it was the saint george's flag it had racist slogans we're not going

00:22:33.600 to tell you exactly what it was but the flag's racist it's just trying to reinforce that notion

00:22:38.080 isn't it and of course the guy who's uh saying this sort of thing councillor gibbons is about as

00:22:44.200 left-wing as you can get in british politics and so you're not exactly uh getting a reliable

00:22:49.340 narration of events and even he admits listen i did sort of provoke this situation so it's ridiculous

00:22:55.720 um also york council is removing the flags amid rise in racist incidents so this is really the

00:23:02.240 narrative they're pushing and um here was a video uploaded by flag force of epilepsy warning yes sorry

00:23:09.020 um of them flashing lights into people's eyes um who they were basically filming this group of people

00:23:16.800 who aren't official they're sort of unmarked vans going around at night cutting down the flags with

00:23:22.180 balaclavas on and everything and they claimed that they were employed by york council which all seemed

00:23:28.260 a bit shady to me i don't know what exactly is going on here but um they were very defensive when

00:23:33.900 he just went up and asked them what they're doing granted he was filming them which does people put

00:23:39.140 people's back up against the wall a little bit but even so there's no need for this sort of thing is

00:23:43.580 there um because in the video he's just asking them what they're up to and that it seems a little

00:23:50.300 bit extreme and um there was also uh of course people going around in droves cutting down the

00:23:57.020 flags the guy doing the soy faces is mocking them by the way yeah he does parody yeah he's a comedian

00:24:03.600 um but yeah there were just groups of people standing around the flagpoles and clapping going from flag

00:24:09.660 post to flag post applauding and uh that's what they're doing suicidal behavior just let me just

00:24:17.520 let me russian i know you're probably in the chat right now are you pulling this face i hope so we've

00:24:25.040 got you up on screen and um this video also went around quite a lot of of two blokes um taking down

00:24:33.880 a flag and i'm going to play a little bit of it even though we're pressed for time because it's

00:24:37.980 important putting them up there please you can report it to the council sorry report it to the

00:24:44.440 council i'm asking you we've had donations in the street i don't care oh that's fine you're entitled to

00:24:52.620 your opinion yeah it'll be odd though if we just leave this one out sorry it'll be the odd one out

00:24:57.900 if we leave this one out everyone else do do they everybody yeah you've asked everybody in the

00:25:03.860 street yeah not everybody we've had donations in the street if you don't like it there's a correct

00:25:08.080 channels to go for you can ring the police you can ring the council and you can go through it that

00:25:11.060 way or cut it down yourself or cut it down yourself okay and that's theft and i've got that on camera

00:25:15.780 you're admitting it so it will be reported to the police what will theft under section one

00:25:20.160 it basically carries on like this and that they sort of

00:25:24.440 it goes on and on a bit like that but it's not very um tense you know he explains to him

00:25:32.940 listen if you want it removed you can do these things although you know it's a bit of an

00:25:37.440 uncomfortable situation because it is right outside of his house however it is a bit weird

00:25:41.740 that he's so angry about it immediately um yeah if somebody were putting up a flag outside of my house

00:25:48.920 i'd be like oh cheers mate thanks saves me the effort that's that's true and it might just be

00:25:54.140 the boomer thing um i was thinking about this is like another explanation it might be that he's got

00:25:58.480 nothing against the flag but because he hasn't been the person to put it up he takes exception to it

00:26:03.520 this is sort of a very boomer english mindset where if he hasn't done it it annoys him i i've encountered

00:26:10.780 a lot of people of his sort of age that are a little bit like that so you know but i didn't see the

00:26:15.580 intimidation part no they weren't really into why is this being reported as intimidation then

00:26:20.480 well because the account reporting it has socialist in the bio ah yes okay

00:26:25.920 so this has been jumped on it's like isn't this awful but it could have been a lot worse actually

00:26:33.060 and although it's not the most pretty thing in the world they said they did explain to him

00:26:38.620 um this is how you do it they didn't swear they didn't shout though they still remained calm

00:26:43.360 and i understand you know it's it's not the prettiest thing but it's not a big deal but

00:26:49.940 they're trying to make a big deal out of it because they want to make the flags taboo don't

00:26:53.260 they here's another one here imagine posting this and thinking you're anything but a gang of bullies

00:26:57.700 gary neville was spot on hateful individuals but they they weren't hateful actually it was a little

00:27:03.420 bit apologetic at times even though he was very angry in return they all got the memo did they

00:27:09.400 and then uh here's a uh an english islamic convert talking about it i despise the british

00:27:16.480 far right not just on an ideological level either but the fact that they compare uh and comprise

00:27:22.920 largely of nasty bullies they didn't really bully him in fact they said sorry we'll be out of your

00:27:28.220 way in a couple of minutes did this guy read anything about islam before converting apparently

00:27:32.560 not um they abuse people not only people of different skin color but anyone who doesn't

00:27:38.000 agree with their hate driven agenda these guys don't care about british people nor do you um that's

00:27:43.760 why you betrayed us uh they are just vile thugs and anarchists who want to burn down society and rule

00:27:48.480 over its ashes i think that's uh not true obviously this this guy's got an agenda he works for five

00:27:56.080 pillars i think yeah so he's a scumbag basically yes five five pillars is about as subversive as it

00:28:03.120 gets and then there was this video being shared i think this account might actually be a troll account

00:28:07.900 either that or they're crazy but i think they're actually maybe even a satire account because it's

00:28:13.400 got an ai profile picture and they post the most deranged things but it's just lots of people

00:28:17.400 protesting outside of a migrant hotel and uh sort of warning it has a a woman crying which can be

00:28:24.380 annoying i'm gonna mute that if only you could do that in real life um so they're trying to claim

00:28:34.880 that the flags whoops um no i do actually have sympathy um obviously um not for this person

00:28:44.660 though because it's absurd it's an absurd reaction to just start bursting out into tears maybe because

00:28:48.820 either one this is a video created and it's fake to drum up sympathy who knows if the audio is

00:28:54.840 actually genuine two maybe in their home country when people are angry about people invading their

00:28:59.780 country they burst into the hotel and do harm to them and therefore that's what they expect is going

00:29:04.980 to happen here and it doesn't because we're british and we're a lot more law-abiding than whichever

00:29:09.620 country this lady has come from but it hurt a rational reaction doesn't mean you should be

00:29:15.620 scared of the flag this account that it's posted on go go down the the little watermark on the

00:29:20.600 instagram video is she she they i was also of world views right bbc watermark as well i don't know

00:29:29.440 who's stealing from who there um and then finally i wanted to end on this that it's driven them so mad

00:29:35.940 that people are now attacking poppy sellers in the street this was in wales and they were flying

00:29:43.100 flags for remembrance so remembrance flags and uh things of that nature it wasn't even national flags

00:29:50.840 necessarily and uh someone went up to them um mr goldsworthy 60 told the telegraph this gentleman

00:30:00.420 came up to us and said you're all reform racists and you can f off to people raising money for

00:30:06.960 remember that's what they were fighting for so that 100 years down the line their descendants

00:30:12.740 could be insulted for trying to remember them so it was the lest we forget flags uh the white ensign

00:30:19.920 and flags for the army and royal air force alongside union flags and the welsh flag um so it wasn't even

00:30:27.320 the saint george's flag that got this reaction and uh yes obviously uh they have doubled back down

00:30:34.700 on their usual ideological direction i suppose and it is driving them mad obviously this wasn't

00:30:42.680 happening before where they're attacking people selling poppies it's got to be playing havoc with

00:30:48.200 their psyche because they they perceive it as parts of the country being claimed and although there's an

00:30:54.220 element of it it doesn't mean you can't go there and it's the same as when they said to us oh you know

00:30:59.500 having lots of immigrants in an area doesn't make it a no-go zone well if it works that way then it

00:31:04.660 works that way for us as well but it is absurd and i think that the more they react like this the

00:31:09.400 more it exposes the absurdity of their beliefs do you imagine that in white chapel they do much

00:31:16.320 remembering of the english men who sacrificed themselves over 100 years ago no they certainly

00:31:21.880 do not i mean why would they sorry that went on a little bit long that's all right we'll go through

00:31:26.620 the uh video con well so sorry the super chats and everything so uh i'll go through rumble first

00:31:33.400 random name we've been blessed with the three most based lotus eaters also the reason i want you to

00:31:37.600 cover halo is because of the similarity between some of the aliens and our diverse brethren yes this has

00:31:43.500 been pointed out and it's also been pointed out i don't know how accurate it is that halo is a very

00:31:48.960 like christian story um especially given the naming conventions it uses palm put and then everyone

00:31:56.280 clapped canon ending to every anti-flaggers stories about being intimidated by flags fact check true

00:32:01.540 hapsification we know they're lying they know that they are lying and they even know that we know that

00:32:07.020 they know that we are sorry i'm getting tripped it's a tongue twister we also know that they know we

00:32:12.420 know they are lying too hapsification again uh says we're at soviet style hyper realism now yes

00:32:19.300 youtube iron bean well we know you're definitely not nazis despite what some say their stuff ran on time

00:32:26.020 oof well in that case i uh i i technically it wasn't it mussolini who was a fascist not a nazi

00:32:37.660 there's a difference a good wizard is never late nor early he is always exactly on time when he

00:32:44.740 intends to be normal man question for ben shapiro why am i not entitled to a home why is it that i

00:32:51.260 can stay why is it that i can't stay close to my roots why must conservatives always run and never

00:32:56.640 fight and abandon the things that matter to the horde neocons are dinos and i would assume also rhinos

00:33:02.380 well it depends on on who you are and what means whether you're entitled to a home because i can

00:33:07.960 guarantee this there are certain people that ben shapiro would say laid claim to a home

00:33:13.120 a few thousand years ago now and he would never say that they should run and leave

00:33:18.380 uh von louis wait till the one piece pirate flag comes out to play i want to see more pirate flags

00:33:25.380 generally actually himley o gloin flag movement has even started here in germany which makes some

00:33:30.320 people worried for whatever reason no idea what those are octador best of luck in germany are they

00:33:36.100 claiming to be vampires allergic to crosses probably i'm gonna start you i approve yes i approve of that

00:33:43.940 message uk's demographics are as dire as new zealand's top three surnames at birth in new zealand

00:33:49.300 were smith wilson and brown in 2014 as of 2014 they're sorry 2024 they are sing kerr and smith

00:33:55.580 at least smith's still up there smith wilson's and browns and wongs have gone to australia's 10

00:34:01.420 of new zealand residents are there jeremy corbin according to kyle vernon walks into a bank he yells

00:34:07.960 this is a robbery and he plainly walks out i understood that one yeah with new zealand i mean in

00:34:16.360 ireland it's like mohammed uh because they're so uninventive that they all just call themselves and

00:34:22.900 their children mohammed uh like sing kerr and smith that's a bit worrying because i imagine i can't

00:34:28.680 imagine i don't know the exact population of new zealand i don't imagine it's huge so it's very

00:34:33.720 easy it's quite swept up by that it's also a nice country with lots of beautiful countryside as well

00:34:38.860 is the lord of the rings rightly highlights yes for englishmen the gamification alone

00:34:44.460 yes so yesterday i spoke about the many missteps that conservative inc and maga have been taking

00:34:54.380 recently and asked i think the very pertinent question of who maga is for who they are working

00:35:00.500 on behalf of what all of their goals are aimed towards what they're working towards sadly i missed

00:35:07.340 this amazing clip yesterday that came out about five minutes before the podcast started because

00:35:14.340 obviously there were the problems with trump's statements on h1b visas there were trump's problems

00:35:19.240 with his statements on chinese students there were trump's problems with announcing that he might be

00:35:24.940 doing 50-year mortgages which is definitely just to help you dear citizen onto the jobs ladder and not

00:35:30.800 make the banks even more money off of exorbitant interest payments over the course of the extra 20 years

00:35:36.880 that you'll be paying on top of the 30-year mortgage that's already available basically to expand the

00:35:42.220 franchise of money lenders isn't it yeah pretty much all it is that's not in the public's interest

00:35:50.220 pretty much but there's a lot of other problems going on in the country right now outside of what

00:35:54.680 trump has been saying and one of the problems has been that his biggest cheerleaders are becoming

00:36:00.980 more and more desperate when they're trying to excuse and explain away the things that he said

00:36:06.460 yesterday i saw a lot of people pointing to the old cases of the good czar bad boy are excuses that

00:36:14.200 were used in czarist russia if the czar ever made a problem if he ever made a mistake it wasn't his

00:36:20.680 fault he's got our best interests in mind it's his bad advisors they're the ones that we should be

00:36:26.960 blaming if only we can get the good advisors on his side then our country will be great and prosperous

00:36:32.880 again i've seen that deployed a lot because every single time he says something wrong everybody goes

00:36:38.360 who's trump getting his information from who's he listening to this week i can't believe he's making

00:36:43.440 all these mistakes if only he would listen to steven miller if only steven miller were in charge of all

00:36:49.200 of trump's decision making then america would truly be great again but perhaps perhaps it's just that

00:36:56.720 trump has bad judgment for advisors well being a good leader also means knowing who to listen to

00:37:02.900 doesn't it and who has the best advice the most important attribute i would agree or perhaps this

00:37:08.560 is just trump's genuine vision of america and what america should be like when he's running it

00:37:16.260 and then this clip comes out and i've not really seen anybody try to defend this because frankly

00:37:23.540 you can't what is the administration position on these visas

00:37:28.440 now we're going to keep using our visa programs we're just going to make sure that they have

00:37:33.820 integrity that we're actually doing the vetting of the individuals who come

00:37:37.480 oh it's the internet working the internet's not gone down again has it harry

00:37:43.640 please i'm going to reload this page i'm going to reload this page and hope okay white house is

00:37:50.520 shutting it down all right yeah we're getting digital strikes from tel aviv no um that's a joke

00:37:58.000 it's from washington oh no the internet's not gone down has it harry

00:38:02.680 oh no they know shut it down it happened it happened we finally got hit

00:38:16.580 if you are watching live right now if we are still live this happened

00:38:22.660 the internet went down about an hour before the podcast was supposed to start but we thought

00:38:30.220 we'd solved it i thought pete solved it

00:38:32.880 apparently we're still live

00:38:37.980 okay i was about to start a game of socialist monopoly to pass the time but okay i'll try

00:38:44.220 yeah media couldn't be played i'll try and go through as best i can oh no i don't let's not

00:38:50.020 try and rely on the video clip okay she basically says uh that they're moving forward with all of the

00:38:55.800 visa programs green cards all that and then she says this but also more people are becoming naturalized

00:39:02.920 under this admin than ever before more people are becoming citizens that's insane that's not what

00:39:11.600 people voted for is it well i was about to ask have you got your got what i voted for award yet

00:39:16.380 because i've got i've got like truckload of fell for it again awards that i can hand out if you'd like

00:39:21.480 that because i don't remember anybody voting for this nobody voted for this and it's ridiculous to try

00:39:29.040 and argue that this is what it was for harry we are still live right

00:39:32.720 okay we're still live can't use links let me see will they load if i okay okay all right so i can

00:39:44.920 still go through the links i'll just describe them to you so you know in there've been some pretty

00:39:51.640 catastrophic problems with the messaging and then you know the big champions of maga who didn't start

00:39:58.120 off as champions of maga in fact they turned out to be very very anti-maga when the movement first

00:40:03.440 started 10 years ago but then flipped when donald trump started doing some very particular things

00:40:10.000 like moving a particular embassy to a particular city that nobody expected him to people like ben

00:40:15.180 shapiro all of a sudden very pro donald trump and on a recent interview with trigonometry he got into

00:40:21.480 a lot of trouble for suggesting when talking about the state of new york and the recent election of

00:40:28.000 mam danny who we are not fans of on this podcast we are very critical of mam danny he is going to

00:40:34.680 run the city further into the ground than it already is but at the very least paid lip service to the

00:40:40.500 kind of ideas that new yorkers are upset with the cost of living the unaffordability of the city

00:40:46.160 ben shapiro comes out with this compelling counter message if you're a young person you can't afford to

00:40:54.900 live here then maybe you shouldn't live here that kind of dismissive attitude that kind of

00:41:03.140 characterized say the old school neocon 90s style conservative which made everybody hate them in

00:41:11.640 the first place i absolutely despise this sort of argument that you know you should abandon where

00:41:17.060 you're rooted where your your family and and all of your loved ones are presumably and go away in the

00:41:24.080 pursuit of work as an ends in and of itself the reason that everybody in lebanon hates lebanese

00:41:29.920 politicians is because they made lebanon's biggest export to become people people are lebanon's biggest

00:41:37.360 export because the politicians are so bloody awful because nobody can live there because it's

00:41:42.440 uninhabitable because because because and to sort of say that with a straight face is absolutely

00:41:49.380 insane um and there is the obvious double standard but again as you said josh the lack of respect for

00:41:58.580 rootedness and belonging the lack of love for your country the lack of love for where your ancestors are

00:42:05.380 where your ancestors are from it's crazy and coming out and saying it this way uh he tries to defend it

00:42:12.660 in his own weird way as he always does but it just shows a level of disconnect that is breathtaking

00:42:20.340 well furthermore there were a lot of people when i posted about this that were trying to defend it

00:42:26.800 saying well he's actually right though you don't have a right or entitlement to live somewhere if you

00:42:32.820 can't afford to and you can say on a purely economic basis perhaps but it is ignoring

00:42:39.500 many of the reasons why new york has ended up in this position when new york as we've seen from the

00:42:46.940 recent mam danny elections is being flooded with immigrants who then immediately go on to vote for

00:42:53.260 a third worldist muslim anti-white mayor and wants to bring in even more it's a sanctuary city they bring

00:43:00.860 in all of these people put even more pressure on the housing within new york which because of a

00:43:06.780 host of different reasons is already facing enough pressure that raises prices and inflates housing

00:43:13.640 prices he ignores all of that and then again ignores the fact that it's the same problem on a national

00:43:21.800 level in a place like england if you move somewhere else you're not solving the problem you're kicking

00:43:27.240 the can down the road the kind of ideology that motivates these people to invite the entire world

00:43:34.440 especially the third world into a city like new york is totalizing and universalizing it doesn't see

00:43:40.500 anywhere outside of its remit it doesn't recognize borders so you may move somewhere else where perhaps

00:43:48.500 the demographics are a bit better maybe the housing prices are a little bit better maybe there are still

00:43:53.820 job opportunities because all of your jobs haven't been outsourced or already given to foreigners

00:43:57.860 or all of your money isn't being taxed away to give to those foreigners yes what 10 years down the line

00:44:03.940 same things coming over there yep this this is the ideology of eternal retreat this is the loser ideology

00:44:13.020 that has characterized the moderate right for 30 40 50 years and is why they have lost

00:44:21.040 all of these cultural battles every single time and the thing that makes it sting all the more is ben

00:44:26.880 shapiro is wealthy enough that he's isolated from any of the consequences similar to the elite is doing

00:44:32.000 this sort of thing in that he can retreat to a place that's walled and maybe you know i think i think

00:44:38.100 he's in florida south florida in a very in an area where he feels he belongs yeah and so it's sort of

00:44:46.800 like uh well i'm gonna be rooted but uh maybe not you it's home for me and not for thee yes and uh after

00:44:54.500 this complete pr disaster he then following donald trump coming out saying well we're going to need

00:45:01.580 the h1bs comes out in support of h1bs making the vivek ramazwamy economic argument saying can this play

00:45:14.180 can this play there are in fact certain positions in the united states that require a level of

00:45:18.640 expertise that may not be reachable in the numbers that are currently being churned out by american

00:45:23.080 universities that is a shortcoming of our educational system and it is a problem and so you can say we

00:45:28.520 should up our game educate i agree we should absolutely up our game educationally but in the

00:45:33.260 meantime if you do not bring in the labor supply particularly to tech tech will go find the labor

00:45:38.940 supply and so what you will end up with is an office that was employing 30 americans and three h1b

00:45:43.800 people if the costs grow too high simply moving to another country where they hire 30 indians and

00:45:51.360 zero americans right this is so so you can't have a nation you can't have a job because otherwise tech

00:46:01.040 bros might outsource everything anyway so instead of outsourcing over there you need them to outsource

00:46:06.300 the labor force over here either way your pay goes down your opportunity goes away you have to

00:46:13.480 move out because you get crowded out of your own neighborhood and your own city i agree with is

00:46:17.700 this a sustainable argument the thing is sorry josh just all right go ahead uh what dismisses is the

00:46:24.060 actual problem which is the financialization of capital and the ability of capital to migrate

00:46:29.600 anywhere that it wants to go you want to try to impose some restriction on the ability of strategic

00:46:35.600 companies to move out of the country and you have to have a regulatory answer that says actually if

00:46:41.420 you're oracle or microsoft or x or whatever big technology employer you don't get to outsource

00:46:47.760 jobs otherwise you lose all access to this market so this is a solvable problem it's not that uh the

00:46:55.100 laws of economics dictate that no no no no no matter what capital can move you can stop capital from

00:47:01.220 moving and you can restrict it and you can impose conditions on it rather than allowing this insanity

00:47:07.640 to continue and you can make it become more efficient and labor becomes better paid and in

00:47:14.320 the age of ai defending h1b visas for low-level technology jobs is just so mentally stupid further

00:47:22.200 he he does go on to try and make the old libertarian argument that if you were to um restrict the

00:47:28.820 movement of labor so that you can pay your own american workers more and so it can be jobs set aside for

00:47:35.520 american workers well this is going to be pushing up the price of products and therefore everybody's going

00:47:40.200 to be paying more and on your idea of the financialation of labor the question then becomes

00:47:45.880 does this does this economic model still work when you're talking about pure service and pure

00:47:51.640 technological products that you're selling where there is no real there's not as much of a cost to

00:47:58.500 distribution and also and i i hate to maybe this is going to make me sound like a socialist

00:48:03.660 right okay maybe this is going to make me sound like a commie i have never understood in the age of

00:48:09.980 corporate ceos who can jump from one business to another potentially collapse the business and then

00:48:16.640 jump straight to another business where they become a ceo or a high-ranking executive or jump into

00:48:22.380 government regulation why is that okay say that you do set those side jobs aside for americans and pay

00:48:28.920 them a bit more why can't those bosses who are already multi-millionaire multi-billionaires

00:48:35.040 why can't they just take a minor hit to their own pay packet to be able to set that money aside

00:48:42.420 for the workers anyway this isn't like a mom and pop store from the 1840s where they're opening up

00:48:50.120 another shop so they've got major profit like really slim profit margins so they genuinely can't afford it

00:48:57.200 and they're taking on huge risk and if everything goes under their lives are destroyed we're talking

00:49:02.080 about huge corporations here who are subsidized if you look into the actual ai business bubble

00:49:08.040 it is a bubble a lot of the funding is coming from open ai to fund companies like oracle like chat gpt

00:49:16.580 it's a huge bubble where they're all financing one another back and forth just that the federal

00:49:22.340 reserve is actively intervening in the stock market to boost the share prices of these companies

00:49:28.260 and keep the founders ridiculously wealthy and make them even wealthier so there is active intervention

00:49:34.400 on the part of the government to prop up the share prices of these companies and to constantly save

00:49:39.340 them they're getting a steady stream of bailout money through the federal through the federal reserve

00:49:45.200 sprinting press so it's a propped up fake bubble for a fake economy yes anyway so like why so why

00:49:52.880 can't you choose to employ americans in a fake economy anyway if the whole thing's fake and gay already

00:49:59.060 why do you then also have to have demographic replacement on top of it this was what i was going

00:50:03.760 to say is that um they they treat h1b visas as if they're a sort of inevitability the only solution

00:50:10.060 when actually there are other solutions available uh you can create government incentives so so for

00:50:17.140 example if you um sponsor americans going through college um you can get tax cuts there are lots of

00:50:24.220 different things you can do to incentivize them training and hiring internally and in fact um there's

00:50:31.340 much more leeway with that and it's much better to keep these tech jobs in the u.s using policy and

00:50:37.760 incentives because that's also a long-term strategy rather than just importing more and more people

00:50:43.040 um i don't understand why you wouldn't choose that anyway even with ideology because it's such a

00:50:49.820 this financial capital has zero loyalty financial capital has zero loyalty zero belonging zero love

00:50:56.300 it doesn't come from a place where it actually wants anything good for the workers it just looks at

00:51:02.340 quarterly reports and share prices and that's all it can ever think about so the model itself is

00:51:09.440 fundamentally broken and it has to be fixed to become less financial to become more national

00:51:14.420 and that requires aggressive government action against oligarchs and this is this is the only way

00:51:21.560 there is no other way other than to sort of attack the oligarchs and tell them listen you move you

00:51:26.020 might find yourself falling out of a six-story window one day huh be careful but anyway that clip

00:51:33.060 was part of a larger podcast that ben shapiro did 25 minutes of which are posted onto twitter here

00:51:39.020 called fast facts where he's trying to recontextualize himself and explain himself and

00:51:43.520 say that his words are being taken out of context of course to further explain the h1b stuff he uses the

00:51:49.900 example of werner von braun as an example is a good case of brain drain from other con countries

00:51:57.620 for the benefit of the u.s completely ignoring the huge difference in quality between one-off german

00:52:07.140 geniuses like actual scientific geniuses and a load of foreigners from the third and second world who

00:52:15.980 are mainly just here to crowd out american workers on entry-level tech jobs and then he tries also to

00:52:21.840 contextualize his statement on new york and say well let's play the full clip and then you listen to the

00:52:27.820 full clip and you go that changes nothing it it changes nothing all it is is extra waffle on top of

00:52:35.820 the actual substantive like content of the statement that he made and when you're talking about h1b again

00:52:42.920 let's look at the actual arguments against it like this that you kindly sent me uh this clip from palmer

00:52:50.480 lucky head of anduril which is a defense contract company in the u.s uh letting slip a little bit

00:52:56.780 about the h1b visa program in california when he was still working there in silicon valley

00:53:02.560 there was a little bit of a debate on that uh what not too long ago correct if you do like the skilled

00:53:08.440 immigration versus not so that's true the difference there is that h1b is are about whether

00:53:14.020 or not they're like it's on theory of course there's so much h1b abuse you would not believe

00:53:18.680 what i saw when i was in silicon valley it's it is insane it's it's obviously a program to try and

00:53:23.720 replace u.s workers with basically slave labor that can't ever escape it's like h1b abuse is crazy

00:53:29.800 so just for context here palmer lucky invented uh oculus which is a vr uh thing that you is now

00:53:38.920 here the meta quest used it before yeah i haven't um and if and now he's building all kinds of advanced

00:53:48.060 drones and missiles and crazy technology for the usa to prepare for a war with china so in terms of

00:53:54.940 genius this guy isn't at elon musk's level but he is much much better than a bill gates or a larry

00:54:02.200 ellison let's put it this way in terms of actual engineering capability and and genius and if he's

00:54:08.180 the one saying this is being abused to bring about slave labor because when you're on h1b visa you're

00:54:13.640 sort of stuck there indefinitely until maybe maybe your children get uh american citizenship i believe

00:54:20.180 on h1b you're reliant on the company that you're working for essentially vouching for you to remain

00:54:26.220 in the country exactly i do wonder whether one of the internal arguments given to trump for this

00:54:31.180 is that well the chinese have deliberately suppressed their wages to undercut american manufacturing

00:54:36.400 we've got to do this to to compete with the chinese and beat the chinese which while at the

00:54:42.620 same time Chinese they would have done so already of course i very much agree and similarly at the

00:54:47.720 same time as we're having to beat i saw the clip of rudy giuliani earlier today talking about the

00:54:53.500 chinese defense capabilities how they're manufacturing all of this new defense technology

00:54:58.660 that could pose a threat to the u.s and the response to that is always going to be so you want

00:55:03.280 half a million chinese students in the country learning the skills to out compete you that they'll

00:55:08.680 take back to china a lot of the rhetoric coming from maga is inconsistent with is incoherent and the

00:55:15.040 second part of that is that the chinese weapons manufacturing now is moving massively towards

00:55:20.940 automation and robotics and not indian labor if this was going to be a source of success they would

00:55:28.060 have tried it but they don't try that they even reject high skilled visas in china they like it's

00:55:33.760 really unpopular so if this is happening if this competition is happening in the age of robotics

00:55:40.100 the last thing that you need is more labor you need more capital cheap labor is the enemy of

00:55:44.840 innovation anyway exactly a point that you know howell made very clearly and that's been known since

00:55:50.600 you know forever uh but returning to h1b there are the other arguments against it uh which is just

00:55:59.260 that um this is a very interesting article by matt forney on his substack the visa files saying indians

00:56:06.920 are waging a war on america and nobody is doing anything about it which is highlighting the um abuse

00:56:13.160 of the h1b visa system by primarily indians we've already looked late last year at how they make up

00:56:19.700 the vast majority of people using that visa scheme and he cites an example here which was a whistleblower

00:56:26.720 an insider at fidelity investments saying that the whistleblower reports that while indian candidates

00:56:32.500 would perform decently in their interviews they would suddenly become incompetent when they actually

00:56:38.220 started working for fidelity examples given include senior and principal engineers who couldn't perform

00:56:44.120 basic tasks like merging a pull request or sending a message in understandable english message attached

00:56:49.940 below for example the whistleblower reports having to walk through and do tickets for senior engineers

00:56:57.660 because they have no clue how to do them on their own despite claiming years of full stack experience

00:57:04.200 on their resumes the whistleblower believes that indians are taking over ntt and the company is a front

00:57:11.080 to flood canada and the u.s with indians you saw the other scandal where i think some indian executives

00:57:19.420 who are making the indians who they hired pay them money in exchange for employing them

00:57:25.740 and like it's it's a different culture guys it's not a culture of excellence it's not a culture of

00:57:32.600 integrity it's not going to work and i'll go on and just read out these next two paragraphs as well

00:57:38.000 because they're quite uh informative matt forney says here i can confirm that indians fake their

00:57:43.520 credentials through my own experience for many years i worked as a college essay ghostwriter for various

00:57:49.580 firms ghostwriters effectively help college students cheat by writing their essays and other coursework for

00:57:55.180 them usually via the legal loophole that the essays are for study purposes and what the clients do with them

00:58:01.340 is out of the firm's control the majority of ghostwriting clients are foreign students in american

00:58:06.200 canadian british or australian universities usually from india pakistan china the middle east or africa and there's

00:58:13.080 china again i've seen this at university where there were there were chinese students that could barely speak a word of english

00:58:19.540 and all of a sudden they'd be getting really good grades i'm like how on earth are you doing that on a

00:58:24.040 master's course incredibly complicated well before chat gpt it would have been guys making money out of

00:58:29.160 it like these ghostwriters i've seen them advertised i even had um people approaching me after i graduated

00:58:34.820 actively seeking me out to do this because i'm my grades i know more than one phd graduate in britain

00:58:43.540 from top universities who cannot write three paragraphs but they have phds impressive that must

00:58:52.100 have been some really great work to be able to get around the essays incredible work yeah but uh he

00:58:56.640 carries on saying these people are either too lazy to do their own work or incapable of doing it due to

00:59:01.140 their poor english i've ghostwritten everything from computer code to legal papers to lab work for

00:59:06.700 nursing students these are the people who are going to be looking after you under their totally legit

00:59:12.180 qualifications and universities tolerate this despite most universities mandating suspension or

00:59:17.860 expulsion for plagiarism because they either fear being accused of racism or can't afford to lose the

00:59:23.300 students tuition money and this is what donald trump is trying to prop up with over half a million

00:59:28.700 foreign students particularly chinese students coming in to prop up an incredibly corrupt university scheme

00:59:34.980 in america he goes on to say the industry no longer exists due to the rise of chat gpt and other llms

00:59:41.320 that can do it for them if you've ever wondered why nothing seems to work anymore indians are likely

00:59:47.000 the cause something as simple as calling to fix your bank to fix a false fraud alert which took maybe

00:59:52.220 five minutes a decade ago is now a protracted struggle where you get put on hold repeatedly for

00:59:57.340 half hour while the indian customer service agent repeatedly confers with her manager because she's

01:00:02.780 incapable of thinking outside of the script given to her i experienced my this myself working in a call

01:00:08.560 center 10 years ago we were the like english branch of it doing insurance claims but if you had customer

01:00:14.760 service problem you transferred it to the customer service call center which was in india and i was on

01:00:21.040 hold more often than not for potentially up to an hour before as the person on the other side was rude

01:00:28.120 was trying to do everything that they could to avoid taking the call or just trying to put it off

01:00:34.940 as long as possible by needing to speak to the manager so i can confirm that this is exactly what

01:00:39.640 happens indian truck drivers with fraudulently obtained cdls have caused numerous crashes injuries

01:00:44.920 and deaths such as the recent case of har jinder singh indians have colonized entire industries in

01:00:50.580 america through fraud and gaming the system the patel motel cartel being a prominent example

01:00:56.100 that's a fun rabbit hole to dive down that we might have to at some point there's even considerable

01:01:01.120 evidence that the indian scam calls and emails are the result of indian contractors stealing

01:01:05.580 americans private information as many banks and other financial institutions rely on contractors or

01:01:11.260 have outright offshored sensitive operations to india so is this a great idea to be advocating for

01:01:18.920 h1b's just because donald trump says they're a great idea no no there's so much evidence against it

01:01:25.980 but a reminder though that ben shapiro in the past has shown that he loves the idea of ethnic handouts

01:01:33.040 for palantir as long as they're you know for his group that's that's always interesting as glenn

01:01:41.000 greenwald pointed out here going back to uh 2023 when following the 7th of october palantir said

01:01:47.340 we're launching an initiative for students who because of anti-semitism fear for their safety

01:01:51.500 welcome to join palantir setting aside 180 positions for them immediately ben shapiro love this

01:01:56.820 love this should those jobs be outsourced to h1b's ben or should they just be specifically set aside

01:02:06.040 for you if so what's the argument against setting them aside for americans who are experiencing all

01:02:13.780 of the downsides all of the downsides of the financialized economy

01:02:17.680 will he address that no no i i very much doubt it and then if we go on to the indian stuff just

01:02:25.900 very very quickly i know we've been going on for a little bit uh there's the um there's the dinesh

01:02:31.160 d'Souza issue which is uh related to something that you were covering earlier on this week which is

01:02:37.160 the tyler oliviera situation where he went to the poop festival and uh was going to make a documentary

01:02:44.380 on it but got threatened and doxed by indians who were threatening him did release it in the end he

01:02:49.880 did end up releasing it uh they were making weird schizo posts this this guy like skin-suiting emmanuel

01:02:57.480 kant uh saying that oh he's got his sister's got an only fans and an indian boyfriend that he's so

01:03:03.740 scared of so he did this to try and humiliate the indian what the fuck are you talking about

01:03:08.860 this is all made up yeah this was all made up they've got this weird obsession if you get them

01:03:13.380 angry at you on twitter of just like bringing up only fans for some reason i assume because they're

01:03:20.580 obsessed with it and they're all subscribed to it i think lots of people have come to that

01:03:24.380 conclusion as well yeah and uh and then out of nowhere out of nowhere after oliviera reported on this

01:03:32.020 and said that you know i am going to actually release the documentary in the end dinesh d'souza

01:03:37.340 just comes out of nowhere it comes out of nowhere nobody said that he had to do this and says how

01:03:45.220 about commenting on this festival seems like the future belongs to the poop throwers dinesh

01:03:50.360 i thought you were all all about like colorblind meritocracy bro like if you're all just if color

01:03:57.640 doesn't matter if race and religion and everything else doesn't matter why are you so proud of this

01:04:03.500 graph of median household income by ethnic group why are you so like so clearly offended by this

01:04:10.860 documentary being made in the first place that's so strange dinesh it's it's almost like when push

01:04:16.060 comes to shove people side with their in-group even if they claim that they don't have one what a weird

01:04:22.160 thing to defend yeah it's they always come out as blood and soil nationalists for their own group

01:04:28.580 yeah but but but he's he's positioned himself as a christian and all of that stuff and presumably

01:04:34.740 a pagan festival of this sort would be as offensive to him as it would be to any other decent christian

01:04:40.200 why are you throwing shit at each other it's disgusting yeah so to come out and defend this kind

01:04:47.260 of thing is just so weird and then he came out as well defending the h1b thing which i'm sure

01:04:54.140 i'm sure he has no personal reason why you would do just meritocracy saying oh many people our

01:05:00.280 education system sucks it's all indoctrination no real learning standards have plummeted true

01:05:04.620 those same people is trump seriously saying our graduates are not the best in the world and can do

01:05:09.020 any job you can think of yeah but when it comes to like tech jobs and actually technically demanding

01:05:13.960 stuff uh then americans by which i primarily mean white americans who actually have to earn those

01:05:21.260 positions in university and can't get away with outsourcing all of their grade and learning to

01:05:27.120 ghostwriters and chat gpt probably are still some of the best in the entire world and also again have

01:05:34.220 been crowded out in the first place there are so many young white american men who have the qualifications

01:05:39.320 and the ability who just aren't allowed to it's a bit hyperbolic because american education is still

01:05:44.100 incredibly good when you like when you address it all by race a different picture comes out

01:05:48.480 yeah and uh he said that you need to do william f bookley's rule keep a big tent but exclude

01:05:55.620 bigots anti-semites and lunatics and that's both morally sound and politically wise keep losing folks

01:06:02.580 coming to you from the guy who cancelled sam francis back in the 90s who happily dogpiled on pat buchanan

01:06:10.540 alongside william f bookley just keep doing that thing that you keep doing that means that you lose

01:06:16.960 people are sick of it people are tired of it which is why can't go into the whole thing right now

01:06:22.320 it's almost two hours long took a carlson's rebuttal to all of this against mark levin and against ben

01:06:29.400 shapiro was masterful and i recommend that you watch this but you see this and you see the

01:06:35.660 diminishing audience share that people like dinesh d'souza and ben shapiro have shapiro i believe is

01:06:41.920 losing about 10 000 subscribers on his youtube channels every week now you can see that con inc is

01:06:49.340 not only struggling to get a straight message that appeals to people in the current climate they are

01:06:55.840 actively tanking their reputations they are crashing and burning and i for one i'm happy to see the rise

01:07:02.260 of a more populist right that cares about people and is trying to embody the spirit that maga started

01:07:10.380 with before it was co-opted by zionist interests before it was co-opted by tech bros and before it

01:07:17.660 was co-opted away from the american people and what they need and what they deserve

01:07:22.520 excellent absolutely excellent thank you let's go on to uh sorry that took a while again but i was

01:07:29.300 afraid that we'd been struck it deserved being discussed in detail um let's i'll go through

01:07:35.600 super chats very quickly because a lot of people have been very very generous uh on youtube gen zed

01:07:40.600 from liberal to far right by the right-wing coalition talks about the fact that today's conservative

01:07:44.080 basically just liberals and it looks like the new well when when buckley took over the movement that's

01:07:49.200 literally what it became that's what he was put in place by the cia to do um and it looks like the

01:07:56.200 new right-wing movement of gen zed is going to be quite interesting certainly easy e unions have

01:08:00.700 blocked technical innovation in american industry meaning we don't have the skills to re-industrialize

01:08:04.460 without importing talent to train americans been out of the game for too long part of it but there is

01:08:09.880 still plenty of talent in america that could take on these problems patcher the unions you could break

01:08:14.600 the unions you could break the unions but their union bosses you could investigate them you can

01:08:18.660 rico them you can do all kinds of things to them uh one need to ask oneself why big business

01:08:23.660 religious charities democratic activists neocons and libertarian think tanks which disagree on

01:08:28.020 every other issue can agree on one thing mass immigration great question good day i think ben

01:08:33.040 shapira is part of an old age and he's trying to hold on as the right has moved for on from him he

01:08:37.380 reminds me of people who are just trying to turn things back a decade or two true chinese students in

01:08:41.880 my engineering program were infamous for this they'd submit work unrelated to the project we'd

01:08:46.540 redo their work so we didn't get expelled for plagiarism which kept them enrolled yeah the

01:08:51.240 whole thing's a scam on rumble indian culture is not to become an expert in a given field but to get

01:08:56.660 the qualification they will study the practice questions to pass the test in place of actual

01:09:00.160 knowledge i don't think that's unique to india as well i think that's pretty common across all of

01:09:04.800 those different nationalities elements of that even in britain to an extent i think all of those

01:09:09.620 people that fawny was talking about the pakistanis the afghans the africans the chinese that's what

01:09:14.300 all of them do um wesley made in america doesn't necessarily mean made by americans sad a drunk

01:09:20.360 changeling do the boomers not want to live near their grandkids do they want to grow old and die a

01:09:24.560 thousand miles away from their children do they not understand the consequences of what they are

01:09:28.480 asking for um possibly some of them thankfully my own boomer parents were not eager to be away from

01:09:34.340 their granddaughter so i don't have that problem do you want to get up fear eyes's segment so what i

01:09:42.320 want to talk about is student loans in britain particularly but the same message applies to

01:09:47.760 america and the message is this student loans are usury they are a sin against the youth they are a sin

01:09:56.080 against god they should not even exist what they are doing is trapping young men and women into

01:10:03.440 debt slavery sometimes for up to 30 years and it's absolutely awful um in britain student loans

01:10:10.300 started in the uh 1990-1991 academic year there have been around 8 million people there are right

01:10:17.620 now i think around 8 million people who are still paying off student debt and in england there is 1.6

01:10:24.480 million every year or in all of britain actually in india in england it's 1.4 million uh with all of the

01:10:30.440 other countries it's 1.6 million every year adding student debt and entering into this program and

01:10:38.060 borrowing anybody can apply even if you have an ilr even if you're not a citizen you can apply if you're

01:10:44.200 a refugee or if you are if you have protected status you can apply and get a loan uh and you can

01:10:49.580 borrow both for your tuition fees and for your maintenance that is your personal expenses 21 billion

01:10:56.220 pounds every year are issued in new debt to students and the total amount now is almost 270

01:11:02.560 billion pounds so it's pretty much disastrous uh the interest rates on these things are atrocious

01:11:08.880 between 7.3 percent up to 8 percent in in august 2024 uh the lowest level is 4.3 percent and that's a

01:11:19.260 pretty high interest rate all things considered on average in england student students end up with

01:11:26.100 53 000 pounds in debt by the time that they graduate uh this is the highest in the four nations the lowest

01:11:33.040 is in scotland uh at 18 000 pounds a year 18 000 pounds total debt and the way that it works is that

01:11:41.340 university fees are capped at 9 000 pounds 9 250 pounds a year the rest is essentially subsidized and

01:11:48.420 subsidized either by loans or by immigration they also make an exception for tuition for oxford and

01:11:54.820 cambridge as well yes you can charge higher there which is interesting of course the loan repayment

01:12:02.120 period is 30 to 40 years 30 to 40 years and students start paying if their income exceeds 21 000 pounds

01:12:12.480 in some cases considerably lower than the median income and uh 25 000 pounds if they haven't got

01:12:20.320 gone for a graduate degree they normally pay nine percent of their income meaning that the marginal tax

01:12:27.300 rate becomes as high as 60 percent if you're lucky enough to earn that much uh meaning that essentially

01:12:34.460 three out of every five days in a working week you're just working for the government i know this

01:12:40.380 well i have done that myself yeah it's awful it is awful now government figures i won't go through

01:12:47.420 the links because we're short on time so trust me bro uh government figures say that only 56 percent

01:12:55.840 of students are actually expected to pay their loans in full by the time the 30 years are up or the 40

01:13:00.900 years are up if they've reached 30 to 40 years and they haven't repaid then it's sort of written off

01:13:07.880 and subsidized by the government i i had a very unfortunate situation recently where i looked at

01:13:13.580 my student loan repayments thinking i must have taken away a massive chunk of these by now surely

01:13:19.340 you know it's been about five years or so and i've seen all of these large deductions from each pay slip

01:13:25.880 each month you know it's a considerable amount of money and then i look at it and i've just been paying

01:13:30.040 off the interest the entire time and it's exactly where i started when i left university so all i've

01:13:36.700 done is it's not moved yes so in in theory that's going to remain the same unless i earn astronomical

01:13:43.480 sums uh the same until it and even then and even then even then earning astronomical sums will only

01:13:50.940 maybe start to break out of the interest pay and there's an additional aspect to this that i think

01:13:55.960 gets overlooked is that these loans are also assessed based on parental income so i got the

01:14:00.960 lowest loan i could have possibly got because of my parents income at the time because unfortunately

01:14:07.000 they retired only a few years after i finished university and it meant that i was getting about

01:14:12.940 half of what everyone else was getting which is seems kind of good but in actuality no one's paying

01:14:19.960 off anyway so it doesn't really matter so all it was doing was punishing my parents for being

01:14:24.700 successful punishing me uh and so i had to work 20 hours a week to pay my rent and pay for food

01:14:31.060 whilst other students could sit on their asses quite often not do their dishes in my shared house as well

01:14:36.620 and left me to do it so i was having to do university work um additional work outside of work so sometimes

01:14:44.640 i'd be awake for 48 hours before i actually got some sleep because i had to go to my studies i'd work a

01:14:51.860 job in a bar that would stay open basically all night because that's the only job i could do that

01:14:56.580 would match my university hours and therefore i'd be doing 48 hour shifts of university work

01:15:03.320 and work and then going home and doing housework as well that is inhumane in my opinion listen so if

01:15:10.860 you want to understand why the youth are radicalized speak to mr josh firma here if you're going to

01:15:16.620 university and your and your flatmates don't clean up after themselves don't touch their dishes only

01:15:22.420 clean yours disgusting that's just what you got to do now of the 56 percent of students who are

01:15:29.780 expected to fully repay their loans they will only fully repay by year 31 so it's a sort of permanent

01:15:39.820 burden that you're stuck with and the other 44 who aren't expected to repay their loans well everything

01:15:47.740 that they get extra pay that's going to sort of go into loan payments and they're never going to make

01:15:53.500 it anyway and they're never actually going to make it anyway so it's an insane burden that students are

01:16:00.480 being put under just want to show you a couple of graphs here um the loans are much higher than

01:16:06.560 repayments and interest is climbing at an insane rate making this ridiculously unaffordable

01:16:13.960 um now under the labor government students are going to start paying pretty much when they hit

01:16:22.300 the minimum wage pretty much when they hit the minimum wage so the idea that this is some kind of

01:16:27.760 subsidy uh that helps poorer students rise up the socioeconomic ladder absolute nonsense absolute

01:16:34.560 nonsense all it is that as they go above the minimum wage they start paying a ridiculously high

01:16:40.600 marginal tax rate because nine percent of their income will be taken to pay their loans yeah again

01:16:46.120 all this means the fact that your net most so many people are never going to pay off their loans

01:16:50.900 all that means every single wage every single uh payment that you get from your wages at the end of

01:16:56.960 each month is going to have that student loan debt taken out of it and that's never going to go away

01:17:02.040 until 30 40 50 years down the line when they write it off so that's always money that is being taken

01:17:07.240 from you exactly exactly um so if you graduate with 50k in debt you as nick explains to us uh you won't

01:17:17.380 be able to get a job that pays you anywhere near enough you will be effectively under a 60 percent

01:17:23.180 50 to 60 percent marginal tax rate because everything else every all of the unproductives are being

01:17:29.380 subsidized by the british government wonderful and foreigners are being imported to be subsidized

01:17:34.280 absolutely great idea and then you get your phone stolen it's almost by government yes it is very much

01:17:41.600 by the by design and if you think your chances improve by going to a top quality university

01:17:47.380 ha ha no no no they they do not in a this is according to the times they did some freedom

01:17:55.400 of information act requests to investigate this question and they find in a typical year 57 000

01:18:01.860 graduates of the 24 universities that are referred to as the russell group that that is the top

01:18:07.780 universities uh typically start paying back their loans now this number has dropped to 44 000

01:18:14.340 so big drops in the number of students who are finding the kinds of jobs who will enable them to pay

01:18:21.520 and if they ever find jobs well they're going to be taxed into oblivion it i i went to a russell group

01:18:28.800 uni and it was a brutal job market even pre-covid yes like it people don't realize when you come out the

01:18:38.060 other side that no one actually cares that you've been to university nobody it doesn't really matter

01:18:42.800 not just that with a lot of the analysts that i was training the first two years of training them

01:18:48.620 involved undoing the brain damage caused by university education making them see the world

01:18:56.300 as it actually is because i was training analysts political analysts security analysts etc

01:19:00.860 and the assumptions that they came out with with the university degree were just

01:19:06.480 so stupid and it took two years to just sort of clean that up at least and get them to think straight

01:19:13.860 so it's not actually a help it's a hindrance uh at least in my field at the university of oxford

01:19:21.300 the the times continues the number of graduates starting repayments within two years of their degree

01:19:26.520 university dropped 31 percent at cambridge it dropped 29 between 2019 and 2024 so the students who are

01:19:37.400 borrowing money to go to elite universities aren't able to repay their debts they will end up being

01:19:44.060 employed at a lot less than what their degrees are presumed to be worth and if they manage to climb up

01:19:51.460 the income ladder they are going to be taxed for it into oblivion add to it that women are a lot less

01:19:59.060 likely to repay in full so one government study that i have here uh is saying that only 10 percent

01:20:05.780 of women are expected to repay their loans in full only 10 percent compared to 36 percent of men this is

01:20:14.780 based on previous figures so it's really horrific that 90 percent of women when they graduate from

01:20:22.540 university and presumably are looking at whether or not to start a family find themselves carrying an

01:20:27.980 insane amount of debt at that and if you're a man you have to ask yourself well given the marriage market

01:20:34.940 and how easily marriages are breaking down do i want to marry somebody who is going to saddle me with

01:20:40.300 a debt and then take half of what i have like if i save this woman from her debts is this in fact a good

01:20:47.880 investment under the existing marriage and divorce laws in britain big question it's funny you say this

01:20:55.240 because most of the women i know in my life that are doing very well for themselves didn't go to

01:20:59.640 university and in fact uh actually keeping a lot more of their paycheck than people who are very educated

01:21:05.880 got some of the best educations money can buy but you know stuck maybe living in london yep

01:21:11.940 basically slumming it living paycheck to paycheck even though they're in a high paying job just because

01:21:17.400 the cost of living the university tuition you're basically a slave to the system yeah it's it's the system

01:21:23.940 designed to keep you poor there are all of these different thresholds in england whether they be a

01:21:28.880 student loan threshold or a tax threshold where it all is trying to even you out yes it's

01:21:35.760 trying to keep you at the same level of pay so you get a little bit of a pay bump absolutely wonderful

01:21:40.600 but the tax might change a little bit maybe you've knocked yourself into a different threshold within

01:21:46.320 the student loan repayments and it deducts just a little bit more so maybe maybe you get an extra

01:21:52.300 three grand a year amazing but actually that will translate to 30 40 50 pounds tops each month

01:22:02.120 it's it's it's it's a disgusting system and then you have to ask yourself what's the effect of this

01:22:07.100 on fertility so somebody in the united states took the time to study the impact of different kinds of

01:22:13.800 debt uh and to see what these do to women's fertility and obviously when they have uh student loans

01:22:23.980 that is associated with a decline in the likelihood of transitioning to parenthood especially at high

01:22:29.920 levels of indebtedness so that means if you're in england and you go to a good university and

01:22:34.740 therefore end up with a high level of indebtedness you then become much less likely to form a family

01:22:40.900 to marry to have children to do the things that make life worthwhile and what is the solution to

01:22:47.760 that well obviously more immigration that's the only solution to a declining fertility rate it's not

01:22:53.100 that immigration is causing it because a lot of jobs are becoming a lot less lucrative because of the

01:22:59.660 competition for starter positions because of the competition for uh wages and given that immigrants like

01:23:06.160 me will accept lower pay um the answer is to everything let's bring in more immigration

01:23:12.800 and let's bring in their dependents unless they immediately go on and well and we'll immediately

01:23:18.280 subsidize them exactly so to sub to keep the system where university fees are capped uh 400 000

01:23:27.200 students are coming into britain every year and that puts them on a pathway to go into the job market to

01:23:35.540 uh become citizens to again demographically change the country and crowd out the native population that's

01:23:42.780 pretty much what's happening and what this shows is that the whole education system is broken

01:23:49.540 what should be happening instead is the 10 top students should be regardless of their income

01:23:56.560 should be getting something like full scholarships to go and study stem universities that rely on importing

01:24:04.000 people to remain functional should close and yes the market should set the price for for degrees

01:24:09.660 and there should be a lot less people going into education if you're getting a degree in i don't know

01:24:15.240 spanish what exactly are your job prospects here if you're getting a degree in english literature

01:24:22.080 what exactly are you or modern arts that's my favorite modern arts if you get a degree in modern art

01:24:28.480 what you're getting basically is a pathway to working for starbucks that's where you're going to end up

01:24:36.500 with a degree in modern art and what are you doing in exchange you are basically selling your future

01:24:44.580 selling your soul making yourself into a dead slave forever and it is very much a sacrifice to moloch

01:24:55.460 you are sacrificing your children your future to get a piece of paper that increasingly means absolutely

01:25:03.260 nothing because you're competing with the whole planet for the value of this of this piece of paper

01:25:09.480 usually is a sin for a reason there is a reason why god says don't do it it's a transfer of wealth

01:25:16.580 from the poor to the rich from the young to the old that's exactly what's happening with student loans

01:25:22.640 it's a horrible thing and it's destroying fertility and it's destroying the youth's lives

01:25:28.260 and it's making them into debt slaves whose only purpose is to repay what they owe um stop doing it

01:25:35.700 end this whole program

01:25:36.800 couldn't be clearer than that we'll go through the uh rumble rants very quickly do we have any

01:25:43.340 video comments harry because we do also have the discussion on lord of the rings after this

01:25:48.580 so we've got a couple of rumble rants random name those 48 hours of work just sound like white

01:25:53.260 male privilege josh um drunk changeling says sargon leaves for a day and the podcast reverts to

01:25:59.100 africa time we know 30 minutes have passed when the segment ends hey listen all right we were struck

01:26:03.820 by foreign powers halfway through my segment very early into it actually so give me give me some

01:26:09.420 leeway all right flavius magnus the world is like this and the boomers ask why zoomers are radicalized

01:26:15.360 left or right that's always an excellent point exactly and blood for the blood god doing the same thing

01:26:20.260 he did yesterday sends in 200 saying more bim uh more beer money for the back thank you thank you

01:26:27.980 very much kind that'll go straight to me thank you very much and on youtube dreadnought logan says my

01:26:34.280 brother is 32 in 130 grand in loans and no degree yeah i i it makes my head spin when i see the amount

01:26:42.880 of debt that universities in america are getting people into because the tuition fees it's absurd it's a

01:26:50.100 it's disgusting i think i'm one of the few people that actually became radically right-wing from going

01:26:54.500 to university yeah well you were also on a based course by the sounds i was yeah have you ever heard

01:26:59.780 of charles murray in this book the bell curve there's some interesting graphs in there given free pdfs of

01:27:05.900 amazing

01:27:06.700 i quite like this new word being bandied about hrification however i'm not sure you grasp its

01:27:15.760 full implications a colleague once confided that hr with the enemy to be thwarted at all costs

01:27:21.340 i agreed because they were trying desperately to put a positive spin on the woeful mismanagement of the

01:27:25.880 company supposedly hr exists to use the resources of the company to develop the talent of its employees

01:27:31.640 in fact they exist to protect the company from its employees realize this and you'll be better

01:27:37.620 able to understand what the hrification of anything means i wholeheartedly agree it it should be obvious

01:27:44.540 like when you get called into a hr meeting is it for your benefit or is it for the company's never your

01:27:50.540 benefit is it it's worth doing a deep dive on a segment into the hr hiring manager oh awful human

01:28:00.200 beings never found them useful harry might not like how scrooge can dive through money but compared

01:28:07.840 to scrooge's other escapades that's actually quite tame scrooge discovered his money diving talent when

01:28:13.680 some iraqis tried to kill him by pushing him onto train cars full of money but what really catapulted

01:28:19.280 scrooge's wealth was that he bought up everything on wall street during the market crash of 29 i gotta

01:28:24.940 say though the comic artists were spot on with their rendition of protesters

01:28:29.280 i did not know the comic books had a law reason for why he can dive through solid money that's

01:28:37.340 did you complain about that as well because i did as well i said he would break his neck

01:28:42.360 apparently the writers already thought of this and they're like no he's just magic

01:28:46.960 it's just his magic money skills i saw a video comment on tuesday and the thing i picked up on

01:28:51.980 was how can he dive into money he'll break his neck yeah we mentioned it yesterday and uh well i think

01:28:57.180 everybody pointed it out because of the old family guy cut away a gag where peter tries to do it and

01:29:01.880 then just breaks all of his bones when he smashes into the metal

01:29:04.960 hey low seaters i'm in richmond um do i even need to say anything

01:29:13.520 the beautiful castle at richmond wonderfully preserved norman architecture

01:29:20.240 and this is the view from the top of the tower you can see a bunch of the rest of the castle walls

01:29:26.000 all down there and the river swale around there and the town of richmond itself with a lot of

01:29:32.640 puppies on the church there that's just fantastic my drew's blood is boiling and i want to throw

01:29:40.160 things at people besieging me it's funny you say that because i went to warwick castle not too long

01:29:45.620 ago and i got to the top and then looked down from the battlements and then my ancestral memory kicked

01:29:50.320 in was like i really want a long bow to see how yeah start picking people off are you it just was

01:29:57.520 it it was weird it was like i sort of saw red but in a good way are you sure the french and you didn't

01:30:02.840 want to pass wind in everybody's general direct i don't have any french oh yeah i forgot we confirmed

01:30:08.860 that actually so you're all right for now i've got one point ancestry to i'm entirely britonic

01:30:15.200 except for the 1.2 german that's all right that's all right i'll make the trains run on time

01:30:21.480 you're not italian to be fair they can't make anything run on time these days

01:30:47.020 luca i'm pretty sure luca and i will agree but it might still happen who knows it might still happen

01:30:51.880 just for the fun of it so it's a fight that i'd want to see given their different builds you know
