The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters #1318

00:00:00.000 Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters episode 1318 for Tuesday the 16th of

00:00:06.640 December 2025. I'm your host Luca joined today by Josh. Hello there. And a somewhat ill Dan so

00:00:13.360 be kind to him give him feelings of warmth and comments. I'm doing the Hillary Clinton

00:00:17.820 powering through. Yes he is he is an absolute trooper and today we're going to be talking all

00:00:23.440 about how the European elites seem to be have some big plans coming our way. We're then

00:00:29.980 going to be talking about how actually young men don't really deserve those plans and we don't

00:00:35.940 really deserve to be put in the meat grinder of war for their interests and then we're going to

00:00:41.420 respond to some quite strange news which is that apparently South America seems to be getting

00:00:46.960 sensible. It is yes. All of a sudden. I missed the memo about talking about war and I'm just like yeah

00:00:52.720 Latin America. Yeah so we're going to talk about pure chaos on our continent and then the most 1.00

00:00:59.560 unexpected continent basically cleaning its room and getting its act together. I'm quite surprised 1.00

00:01:05.500 that Peruvian politics in particular is basically like free helicopter rides or communism. Nothing

00:01:11.220 in between. That's all there is. Well we'll look forward to that. All right so as we all know the

00:01:18.480 war between Ukraine and Russia continues and we're now a very very long way away from the Donald Trump

00:01:27.040 oh when I become president again we're going to end the war on day one territory. There's been many

00:01:34.260 many times now countless times really where you know peace negotiations have come and gone and broken

00:01:40.020 down and oh will they won't they. But it seems that the interests on both sides to prolong the war

00:01:46.720 and keep it going are very very strong and it seems that they seem to be winning out every single

00:01:52.980 time. So there was a recent conference in Berlin that Trump and the Americans attended along with

00:02:00.700 European allies and I suppose we ought to just listen to what Trump had to say about this particular

00:02:05.880 meeting quickly. I had a long talk with President Zelensky. Also I spoke with the heads of Germany,

00:02:13.520 Italy, NATO, Finland, France, the United Kingdom, Poland, Norway, Denmark, and the Netherlands. We had

00:02:22.340 very long and very good talks and again I think things are going along pretty well and I think we're

00:02:32.520 closer now and they they will tell you that they're closer now. We had numerous conversations with President

00:02:39.300 Putin of Russia and I think we're closer now than we have been ever. What incentive is it? So as you can

00:02:46.460 see very convincing stuff. Now the thing about this all is that of course as well as Trump and Washington

00:02:54.760 and also our European wonderful European leaders all basically saying that obviously the pursuit of

00:03:02.620 peace is the highest ideal and everyone's working towards it. That's presumably why they scupper every

00:03:08.780 peace plan that comes along. With the utmost effort it does seem to be the case that whilst this goes

00:03:14.020 on the actual war talk, the rhetoric around war seems to escalate with every passing week. There is also

00:03:21.540 an incentive here for America in particular to drag its feet along the peace process. Not only is it

00:03:28.080 obviously not as much of a security issue because it's not close to their borders, at least the sort of

00:03:35.020 Ukrainian front. Obviously Russia is not that far away. But also their mineral deal that they did I

00:03:41.320 think is very significant and the fact that lots of the minerals, the most sought after ones, are in the

00:03:48.020 territory now controlled by Russia sort of suggests that well if we just fund them enough and give them 0.55

00:03:54.880 a little push we can push them out of the area where we can get all of our minerals, do a peace deal,

00:04:00.440 you know solidify those borders and ensure maybe our minerals will be close to the border. But that also

00:04:06.740 is good because then we can have boots on the ground supervising the mineral extraction for the United States

00:04:12.440 without formally you know garrisoning the border and so it will look like Putin's being unreasonable when he objects.

00:04:18.740 So there's there's there's a situation here whereby the United States can benefit financially

00:04:25.040 whilst also helping antagonize future conflict if they want to.

00:04:29.040 What you're talking about there is Schrodinger's Ukraine and we hear both narratives equally.

00:04:36.040 The first one is the one that you've just said. We just need a little push and the Ukrainians will win. 1.00

00:04:40.040 Just a little push, a little nudge, the Ukrainians are going to win. And the other narrative that we hear simultaneously is that Russian troop transports will be turning up on the borders of Britain

00:04:50.340 two weeks from now if we don't you know commit every possible resource to their defence. So which is it?

00:04:57.340 Well it can't be both and I would contest that it's neither to be honest.

00:05:01.340 Right. But as far as the European leaders are going obviously we saw very recently that France is going to bring back a voluntary conscription

00:05:11.640 which I think is a bit of a contradiction in terms.

00:05:14.640 It's impossible to have those two things.

00:05:16.640 What? Is that like a consensual rape or something? How does this work?

00:05:20.840 Voluntary slavery is another potential way of looking at it.

00:05:25.140 Well despite the fact that France is the second best armed military currently in Europe behind Poland it has about 200,000 troops with about 45,000 in reserve.

00:05:35.940 They are Frenchmen though.

00:05:36.940 The size of their actual boots on the ground army.

00:05:40.440 Yes.

00:05:41.140 You know the continent's always done well on that front.

00:05:43.740 They have, they have and we just keep letting them get away with it.

00:05:47.440 But anyway, the point is as well that they are pushing for basically 18, 19 year olds, and this will feed very well into your segment Dan,

00:05:55.240 into a state of basically just getting conscripted into the army, having a little trial run, see how you find it.

00:06:03.240 But really they are hoping to find about 50,000 new participants by the age, sorry, by the year of 2035.

00:06:13.040 And so 50,000 men, an extra 50,000 levied over the space of the next 10 years.

00:06:20.040 But of course, and this is a question that we are going to keep coming back to, we will find throughout this segment.

00:06:25.040 What on earth do we expect the state of France to look like by the year 2035, right?

00:06:33.040 Not very French.

00:06:34.040 Given everything that they're going through.

00:06:36.040 Presumably the rest of France will look like Paris looks like today.

00:06:39.040 Right.

00:06:40.040 And so you have to ask your question, will they, will they manage to fulfill that quota?

00:06:46.040 And why on earth do they actually expect young French men to actually fight for that state?

00:06:52.040 I think they're in an even worse situation in terms of getting people to participate than even we are.

00:06:59.040 Obviously they've got a larger standing army, but their demographic situation is worse.

00:07:04.040 Their financial situation is worse.

00:07:06.040 And all the factors disincentivizing people from joining are worse there.

00:07:12.040 Yeah, absolutely.

00:07:13.040 And so let's listen to Rut of the NATO just talking.

00:07:19.040 I know I pronounced it wrong, but I don't care.

00:07:21.040 Yeah.

00:07:22.040 We need to be ready because at the end of this first quarter of the 21st century, conflicts

00:07:33.040 are no longer fought at arm's length.

00:07:37.040 Conflict is at our door.

00:07:41.040 Russia has brought war back to Europe. 0.97

00:07:44.040 We must be prepared for the scale of war our grandparents and great grandparents endured.

00:07:51.040 Imagine it.

00:07:53.040 A conflict reaching every home, every workplace.

00:07:58.040 Destruction, mass mobilization, millions displaced.

00:08:03.040 Widespread suffering and extreme losses.

00:08:07.040 It is a terrible thought.

00:08:08.040 But if you...

00:08:10.040 Now, I just want to stop it there because, and perhaps it's my lack of imagination, I concede,

00:08:16.040 but short of a full nuclear exchange, I just can't envision a future that he's actually suggesting here.

00:08:23.040 What boots on door to door?

00:08:25.040 What?

00:08:26.040 So the Russian army that has not been able to even advance through the entirety of Ukraine over the past four years is going to go city to city, nation to nation across Europe.

00:08:37.040 I don't know.

00:08:38.040 I got something different from that.

00:08:40.040 When he was saying there's going to be conflict going from door to door disruption all across Europe.

00:08:44.040 I was thinking, yeah, we do have that actually.

00:08:47.040 It's not the Russians though. 0.98

00:08:48.040 No.

00:08:49.040 It's the people they imported. 1.00

00:08:50.040 Yes.

00:08:51.040 Yes.

00:08:52.040 But apart from that, I agree with him.

00:08:54.040 It's a very strange irony, isn't it, that the European Union that seems to claim that unity in Europe is the greatest possible ideal is that actually through their policies, they have managed to unite Europe against them.

00:09:10.040 Yes.

00:09:11.040 And everyone actually despises their technocracy, their total seeming hatred and disgust for the actual heritage of Europe itself. 0.98

00:09:20.040 It's just the standard thing that the elites do is every 80 years, they want to engineer a situation where white boys kill other white boys. 0.98

00:09:27.040 Hmm. 0.99

00:09:28.040 Yeah.

00:09:29.040 Yeah, absolutely.

00:09:30.040 And then, of course, we had it not only from the EU, but our own country as well, which sort of straddles that territory still.

00:09:37.040 But from our very own MI, newly appointed MI6 director.

00:09:42.040 We all continue to face the menace of an aggressive expansionist and revisionist Russia seeking to subjugate Ukraine and harass NATO. 0.69

00:09:53.040 I find it harrowing that hundreds of thousands have died with the toll mounting every day because of Putin's historical distortions and his compromised desire for respect.

00:10:05.040 He is dragging out negotiations and shifting the cost of war onto his own population.

00:10:12.040 But Putin should be in no doubt. Our support is enduring alongside the...

00:10:20.040 So, really, the long and short of it is that we have our propaganda here in Europe, the Russians have their propaganda over in Russia, and ultimately no one's really willing to concede.

00:10:31.040 When she talks about him scuppering peace talks, it's as if one of our very own Prime Ministers, Boris Johnson, just didn't exist in the most open bit of knowledge about the war that we possibly have.

00:10:43.040 There's a lot of open line going on in that the actual real situation is that Western powers, particularly Western Europe and the United States, have been pushing to scupper peace talks from early on in the conflict onwards, pretty much,

00:10:59.040 because they want an ongoing proxy war with Russia, because not only are there financial incentives there, but also the institutions are still geared up to deal with Russia as an antagonistic enemy, all the way back from the Cold War, particularly the intelligence agencies, which she represents.

00:11:16.040 Sorry, before you move on to the next link, excuse me if I could do just a little bit of noticing.

00:11:21.040 Oh, please.

00:11:22.040 When her name popped up, I thought, I'll Google that, see what comes up. Turns out that her grandfather was a Nazi collaborator.

00:11:31.040 Yes, he was.

00:11:32.040 And she is 25% ethnically Ukrainian.

00:11:35.040 I heard that today as well.

00:11:36.040 Interesting.

00:11:37.040 I'm sure it bears no sway whatsoever.

00:11:41.040 No, no, of course not.

00:11:42.040 No sway whatsoever.

00:11:43.040 But thank you for pointing it out.

00:11:45.040 We do encourage noticing.

00:11:47.040 Nosing down again.

00:11:48.040 And then we get to Sir Richard Knighton, the Chief of Defence.

00:11:53.040 And he gave a speech yesterday as well, saying,

00:11:55.040 The situation is more dangerous than I have ever known during my career.

00:12:00.040 And the price of peace is rising.

00:12:02.040 Our response needs to be beyond simply strengthening our armed forces.

00:12:06.040 It needs to be a whole of nation response.

00:12:10.040 He goes on to say,

00:12:12.040 I find myself in the position that none of my predecessors during my career have faced,

00:12:17.040 looking at the prospect of the largest sustained increase in defence spending since the end of the Cold War.

00:12:22.040 And this, deterrence is also about our resilience as a nation to these threats.

00:12:27.040 It's about how we make ourselves a harder target and harness all of our national power,

00:12:32.040 from universities to energy infrastructure and manufacturing industry.

00:12:37.040 What manufacturing industry?

00:12:39.040 He's listing off the things that have been decimated.

00:12:41.040 Right.

00:12:42.040 The ones that we outsourced China.

00:12:43.040 Yes.

00:12:44.040 All of these things that we've systematically just dismantled and destroyed and sold off for decades.

00:12:49.040 Can I do my little thing on him as well while we're here?

00:12:52.040 Do you want to scroll up to his picture?

00:12:53.040 Yep.

00:12:54.040 He hasn't got his full medal regalia on there.

00:12:57.040 I'll just point out, this chap who is saying that we need to sacrifice our son and daughters,

00:13:02.040 he's never seen active combat.

00:13:04.040 Oh, really?

00:13:05.040 All of those medals, fancy rank, 0.94

00:13:08.040 commitment to send our sons off to die,

00:13:11.040 he's never been in active combat.

00:13:13.040 Not once in his entire career.

00:13:15.040 And little chance of him going there now, I imagine, either.

00:13:18.040 No, him and his drinks cabinet might get to within a couple of hundred miles of the front line, possibly.

00:13:24.040 Yeah.

00:13:25.040 It really is the Blackadder joke.

00:13:27.040 You know, Captain Darwin and I will be right behind you,

00:13:29.040 and it's like about 35 miles behind you.

00:13:31.040 Yeah.

00:13:32.040 You know.

00:13:33.040 Do you know what some of this could be?

00:13:35.040 And I don't know whether this is just worth bearing in mind,

00:13:39.040 I don't necessarily think this is the case,

00:13:41.040 but something to bear in mind when all of this talk is going on,

00:13:43.040 is that before you sign a peace deal,

00:13:45.040 normally it's a good idea to assert your willingness to ramp up efforts

00:13:49.040 and show you've still got some steam in the tank,

00:13:52.040 to try and get as much out of the negotiations as possible.

00:13:55.040 And if they are pushing for renewed peace negotiations,

00:13:58.040 this sort of thing will happen.

00:14:00.040 They'll be saying, yeah, we're going to send boots on the ground,

00:14:02.040 it's going to be war, open war,

00:14:04.040 and then all of a sudden there'll be peace, potentially.

00:14:06.040 You know, as in that's the framework.

00:14:08.040 I'm not necessarily saying it's going to play out like that,

00:14:10.040 but it's worth bearing in mind when we see these sorts of things

00:14:13.040 that could be a possibility.

00:14:15.040 And what's going on behind the scenes,

00:14:17.040 you sort of have to infer it, but it's always difficult to tell.

00:14:20.040 But it is also possible that it's just them being insane

00:14:24.040 and compelling us to go to a war that is not in our interest.

00:14:27.040 There is another angle as well.

00:14:29.040 You know, Europe has basically been stealing Russian assets for years now,

00:14:32.040 confiscating them.

00:14:34.040 Yeah, we're just about to come to that actually.

00:14:35.040 Oh, okay. I'll be quiet then as we get to that.

00:14:37.040 Yeah, no, but please give us your thoughts on that when we get to it.

00:14:40.040 One thing to say to your point, Josh, as well, is that,

00:14:43.040 although I agree with you in the reasoning as to, you know,

00:14:46.040 a bit of chest puffing and, you know, a bit of peacocking

00:14:48.040 and trying to show your strength,

00:14:50.040 the point is that that only, of course, works

00:14:52.040 if the enemy believes in the strength of its opponent.

00:14:56.040 And as we've just covered here,

00:14:58.040 systematically all of these things don't work anymore.

00:15:01.040 The universities have become ideological training camps for progressives

00:15:06.040 who don't really understand the first thing about reality

00:15:09.040 or war or strength or power or politics for that matter.

00:15:14.040 Energy infrastructure has been totally crippled by green levies

00:15:18.040 and basically having the highest energy costs in Europe.

00:15:22.040 Our manufacturing industry doesn't exist from my own town of Scunthorpe,

00:15:27.040 which is now just a steel works as a museum piece

00:15:30.040 and the harkening back to the industry that we once used to have.

00:15:34.040 We can't even create our own steel from scratch anymore without importing the raw materials from abroad.

00:15:41.040 So when we're caught in that, I don't entirely see how we're going to be able to build all of the munitions and things that we'll need for that war.

00:15:49.040 And what's more as well, do I even really need to talk about the NHS and how well that does to look after our sick and wounded and the fakers as well?

00:15:58.040 Plus, of course, if the Russian army wanted into Britain, all they'd have to do is turn up at Calais and affect an Algerian accent.

00:16:04.040 Yeah. Yeah. And the fact that our leaders happen to be the most gullible, dribbling people that we could ever wish for.

00:16:14.040 And I know we like...

00:16:16.040 I saw Samson. Yeah, I was careful.

00:16:19.040 I know that we like to criticize how much we mothball our military and how it's not really prepared for war.

00:16:27.040 But I do think that this notion of, you know, the Russians will sweep through Europe and there's nothing we can do about it is a bit ridiculous

00:16:35.040 because even with the current state of European standing armies, there's enough people there that could put up a considerable fight and enough political will.

00:16:46.040 And also, were the Russians to all of a sudden decide to invade Europe for some insane reason,

00:16:52.040 the United States would at least be sending equipment over at the very least, which they're already doing for Ukraine,

00:16:59.040 to help other European countries and carry on the proxy war.

00:17:03.040 And so this notion that, you know, we're not prepared and they could, the Russians could take over, 0.90

00:17:09.040 I think is a scare tactic to get people involved in the military as well as support greater military spending

00:17:15.040 and potentially higher taxes and things like that.

00:17:18.040 But even if Russia do walk away with all of this new territory and whatever peace deal eventually ends up happening,

00:17:24.040 it's not going to be that a peace deal is signed and then it's the immediate fresh campaign into the rest of Europe again.

00:17:32.040 It will be years and years of consolidating on the gains that they've actually made.

00:17:38.040 Also, Putin, you know, he's spent a lot of political capital on this conflict.

00:17:43.040 And we've got to remember that the Russian people are actually human beings.

00:17:47.040 They don't want their sons and daughters, well, mainly sons, dying in a conflict.

00:17:51.040 And if he starts another one, they're going to be pretty upset about it.

00:17:55.040 I'll just read from this bit as well, where it says, it's about our defence and resilience being a higher national priority for us all.

00:18:02.040 An all in mentality, which to me is just really quite tone deaf.

00:18:08.040 But for the sake of time, I'll push on with this.

00:18:11.040 So to come to what you were saying, Dan, about the freezing of Russian assets as well.

00:18:15.040 So the EU have recently just decided via an emergency clause, Article 122 of the EU treaty,

00:18:24.040 which is specifically so that basically countries in the East, such as the Orban government, couldn't veto this.

00:18:32.040 It only required a majority.

00:18:34.040 After explicitly giving Hungary a veto, they then just rewrote the law to take it away.

00:18:39.040 Yeah. And so they've basically used this legislation to seize billions, hundreds of billions of pounds in Russian assets,

00:18:50.040 mostly through, what was it, Euro...

00:18:54.040 EuroClear.

00:18:55.040 That's it, EuroClear, where the majority of that money is, and also through individual private banks scattered across Europe.

00:19:03.040 But yes, the majority of it is through EuroClear.

00:19:06.040 And apparently the EU have created certain safeguards and shields so that the Russian government can't...

00:19:13.040 Well, basically, so that if the Russian government seeks to retaliate with this lawsuit, as they intend to,

00:19:18.040 then EuroClear and the rest of them will be entirely compensated for damage.

00:19:24.040 But there is also just a sheer question of market stability and the total seizure of these assets.

00:19:31.040 You'll all understand all of this much more deeply than I will, Dan, no doubt.

00:19:35.040 But it seems like, again, just posturing and total suicide to do this.

00:19:41.040 Well, I mean, we didn't even do it to the Germans in World War II. 0.60

00:19:44.040 Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

00:19:46.040 Yeah, that just about cuts to it.

00:19:48.040 And so Orban here says,

00:19:50.040 Bypassing Hungary and raping European law in broad daylight, 0.93

00:19:54.040 the Brazilians are making moves to seize frozen Russian assets.

00:19:58.040 People from Brussels, not Brazilians, by the way.

00:20:00.040 Yeah. Yeah. What are they doing there?

00:20:02.040 A declaration of war.

00:20:04.040 Meanwhile, they demand 135 billion more from member states to fuel the conflict.

00:20:11.040 Hungary will not play along with this twisted Brazilian scheme. 0.99

00:20:15.040 And to be honest with you, irrespective of what Orban's loyalties are to Russia or any other such influences,

00:20:22.040 this just does seem to be the sensible option.

00:20:26.040 The one that might actually engender some feelings of peace between the two rivals.

00:20:33.040 Well, he's just talking about the cost of it.

00:20:34.040 And it seems to be motivated by that because it is costly for European countries at a time when money isn't exactly easy to come by.

00:20:43.040 So it's a compelling argument, even if, you know, he might be making it for other reasons.

00:20:48.040 Yeah.

00:20:49.040 And then obviously we get to actual maneuverings as well.

00:20:52.040 Now, don't panic.

00:20:53.040 This isn't an article from 1939.

00:20:56.040 This is German troops to dig trenches on Poland's borders.

00:21:01.040 And so we have this thing.

00:21:03.040 Festival memories kicking in for the third time.

00:21:05.040 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:21:06.040 So because obviously you have Belarus on the Polish border, which is allied with Russia.

00:21:11.040 And so from next April, soldiers will focus on defensive pioneering activities,

00:21:16.040 such as establishing positions, constructing trench systems, laying barbed wire or erecting tank barriers.

00:21:24.040 And it also goes on to point out that Mr. Mears said that Europe had to prepare for the growing threat from Russia without United States support.

00:21:36.040 He added the decades of the Pax Americana are largely over for us in Europe and Germany.

00:21:42.040 It no longer exists as we knew it.

00:21:44.040 The Americans are now very, very aggressively pursuing their own interests. 0.70

00:21:49.040 And that can only mean one thing, that we, too, must now pursue our own interests.

00:21:55.040 And it also points out as well that all the time that this is going on and the old guards, the technocrats, you know,

00:22:03.040 Macron, Mertz, Ursula von der Leyen, all these sorts of people are obviously playing this grand game of European strategy.

00:22:11.040 Trump is meeting and kind of collecting politicians from the emerging right wing parties in Europe as well.

00:22:20.040 Well, when they say we must aggressively pursue our own interests, if you if by are, you mean a very small globalist elite.

00:22:28.040 Yes.

00:22:29.040 And I believe them.

00:22:30.040 Yes.

00:22:31.040 For the rules based order that they so just psychopathically believe in.

00:22:37.040 And then we get to, of course, just the United States is national security strategy.

00:22:44.040 Now, this was published recently, and there are just two particular paragraphs that I want to read from it, which is that it is the core interest of the United States to negotiate an expeditious

00:22:54.040 secession of hostilities in Ukraine in order to stabilize European economies, prevent unintended escalation or expansion of the war and reestablish strategic ability stability with Russia,

00:23:06.040 as well as to enable the post hostilities reconstruction of Ukraine to enable its survival as a viable state.

00:23:13.040 The Ukraine war has had the perverse effect of increasing Europe's, especially Germany's external dependencies.

00:23:21.040 Today, German chemical companies are building some of the world's largest processing plants in China using Russian gas that they cannot obtain at home.

00:23:30.040 And the Trump administration finds itself at odds with European officials who hold unrealistic expectations for the war.

00:23:40.040 Perched in unstable minority governments, many of which trample on basic principles of democracy to suppress opposition,

00:23:47.040 a large European majority wants peace, yet that desire is not translated into policy in large measure because of those government subversion of democratic processes.

00:23:58.040 This is strategically important to the United States precisely because European states cannot reform themselves if they are trapped in political crisis.

00:24:08.040 I couldn't have put it better myself.

00:24:09.040 I couldn't have put it better myself.

00:24:10.040 No, it's very, very well said.

00:24:13.040 And I think it brings about the point that are all of these escalating, this escalating rhetoric from the European leaders,

00:24:22.040 is it simply them realizing the hour of day and that the United States is basically positioning their replacements, the next generation of European politicians?

00:24:35.040 And so they're simply trying to get away as fast as they possibly can with escalating things.

00:24:41.040 Now, I respect the fact that when I say all this out loud, it sounds very, very cynical.

00:24:46.040 However, as we get into your segment, Dan...

00:24:49.040 I'm going to be a lot more cynical.

00:24:50.040 The larger point is that there is nothing that they would do.

00:24:54.040 There is no evil, no treason, no betrayal that would surprise me anymore.

00:24:58.040 They do not care for the value of your life.

00:25:00.040 There's a brilliant rumble rant that somebody's stuck in, Siglestone is stuck in.

00:25:03.040 Somehow it just doesn't ring the same.

00:25:05.040 Imagine soldiers jumping over the trench wall screaming for the international rules-based order.

00:25:10.040 I was just going to say that these people definitely do not care about the human cost or the economic cost to ordinary people.

00:25:19.040 Many elites view ordinary people with a level of contempt that is impossible to even fathom.

00:25:28.040 Like, they don't care about you.

00:25:30.040 It's just resources to extract your numbers on a spreadsheet to them.

00:25:34.040 They don't care about the fact you've got a life.

00:25:36.040 So I can entirely believe that they're happy to escalate things for their own self-interest.

00:25:41.040 Yes.

00:25:42.040 Regardless of the cost of human life or, you know, the cost of it to the economy.

00:25:47.040 So, I mean, that's my personal feelings on the matter.

00:25:51.040 And as we have here as well, again, just a sentence that typifies the entire thing.

00:25:56.040 President of Finland, Stubb, says Russia is the number one threat for Europe and actually the Western world.

00:26:03.040 And as we'll point out, though I'm not going to pretend that I think that Russia has warm feelings or a good disposition towards us in any way,

00:26:12.040 I would suggest that actually the number one threat to Europe is most certainly from within. 0.98

00:26:18.040 I'll just read through the rumble rants.

00:26:21.040 It says, yes, exactly.

00:26:23.040 As you said, with Sigil Stone's comment, Luke, Saint 91 says, no offense.

00:26:29.040 I feel like if the Russians invaded Britain, it'd be like when the Aztec war, sorry, Spanish war with the Aztecs and the vessel tribes joined the Spanish. 0.93

00:26:37.040 I get the feeling most natives would side with them.

00:26:40.040 I'd be surprised.

00:26:43.040 Some would, some would.

00:26:45.040 I think more than the establishment would consider would definitely do that.

00:26:50.040 I quite like vodka. 0.85

00:26:51.040 I don't like gay race communism, so I'm sold. 1.00

00:26:53.040 Right. 0.99

00:26:54.040 Yeah.

00:26:55.040 Might do good for your cold as well.

00:26:57.040 Yes. 0.99

00:26:58.040 Cranky Texan says, empires must eat or die. 0.99

00:27:01.040 Russia is too tasty a morsel to leave on the table. 0.99

00:27:06.040 Another cannibalistic comment. 0.99

00:27:08.040 Yes.

00:27:09.040 I disavow cannibalism.

00:27:11.040 Luke says, I feel like Europe doesn't want Trump to succeed at this peace deal because it will make him right and they are wrong, which I think will destroy their entire liberal order.

00:27:21.040 Luke also says, good day.

00:27:23.040 I hope you're all well.

00:27:24.040 If you ever get a chance, I'd love to have you guys review Senator Pauline Hanson's parody movie, a super progressive movie coming out on Australia Day.

00:27:34.040 Well, I will check that out, Luke.

00:27:36.040 Thank you for bringing that to my attention.

00:27:38.040 Sounds like a good laugh.

00:27:39.040 Exile29 says, you can't defend a country without national unity.

00:27:43.040 We'd be done within a week.

00:27:45.040 Sky News did a podcast called The War Game.

00:27:47.040 If you want to know how badly we'd fare, download that ad.

00:27:52.040 That's not a sponsor.

00:27:54.040 And for 141, Paladin says, Enoch Powell surprised Margaret Thatcher when he said that he would fight for a communist government in Britain if it invaded.

00:28:03.040 Yes, but obviously that was based on the principle that the population of that homogenous British country would be full of Englishmen.

00:28:12.040 Your dedication is to your people.

00:28:14.040 Yes.

00:28:15.040 And not an ideology first and foremost.

00:28:17.040 That is the right and proper way of doing things.

00:28:20.040 Right.

00:28:21.040 Anyway, over to you, Dan.

00:28:23.040 Okay.

00:28:24.040 So I'm going to pick up on a particular thread of what you were just talking about in your segment, the comments by Mark Ruttle.

00:28:31.040 So I just want to narrow it down on one particular point of that.

00:28:35.040 Russia has brought war back to Europe and we must be prepared for a scale of war our grandparents and great grandparents endured. 0.55

00:28:44.040 Now, Mark here was born in 1967.

00:28:47.040 So what grandparents and great grandparents is he talking about?

00:28:50.040 Well, he's obviously talking about the people who fought in World War One, World War Two.

00:28:54.040 Now, let's put some numbers on that.

00:28:56.040 In World War One, 700,000 native British men died.

00:29:00.040 In World War Two, it was a little bit under 400,000.

00:29:05.040 Now, you scale those numbers up to today's UK population.

00:29:08.040 What you're looking at is he is promising us white British deaths around half a million to a million. 0.70

00:29:15.040 And of course, weapons are much more deadly in this day and age.

00:29:18.040 So the potential for casualties is actually much higher.

00:29:22.040 Well, drones.

00:29:23.040 Yeah.

00:29:24.040 Drones are coming to that.

00:29:25.040 Absolutely.

00:29:26.040 Yeah.

00:29:27.040 So the range is perhaps wider, depending on how we would do.

00:29:29.040 Possibly.

00:29:30.040 But it could be much more fatal than these past two countries.

00:29:33.040 Well, let's just let's just go with one million for now.

00:29:36.040 And I take your point.

00:29:37.040 It could be more than that.

00:29:38.040 Let's just go. 1.00

00:29:39.040 If they managed to kill off one million white British in the age range of 18 to 30. 0.98

00:29:44.040 Well, that age range is already 65 percent native British and killing off a million of them will get us to 50 50. 1.00

00:29:51.040 So, I mean, this is a big element of what's going on, whether they admit it or not.

00:29:55.040 It is everything that they do is finding a way to accelerate ethnic replacement. 0.77

00:30:01.040 Now, maybe this isn't, but I'd be surprised if this wasn't serving exactly the same purpose as absolutely everything else they do.

00:30:08.040 They got, they, you know, they say, you know, the arm chief, again, you showed this on your segment, Richard Knighton.

00:30:14.040 I mean, the key bit is when he says we must be ready to sacrifice our sons.

00:30:19.040 Hmm.

00:30:20.040 That's what he's talking about.

00:30:22.040 We must be ready to sacrifice our sons.

00:30:25.040 I won't play the video because you've you did it on your segment to be covering the same ground.

00:30:31.040 But, you know, he actually says sons and daughters, but they're not going to be sending young women out there.

00:30:35.040 No, they're not.

00:30:36.040 It's what he's saying is, I imagine the daughters will become very traditional all of a sudden.

00:30:41.040 Well, he's just outright saying we have to be prepared to sacrifice a million of our sons.

00:30:46.040 And now when I say it's going to be overwhelmingly white British sons who are dying, let me play you a few clips that kind of illustrate my point. 0.73

00:30:55.040 And there's loads of these you'll find on on social media.

00:30:59.040 Samson, do you want to play this for this video for us?

00:31:03.040 If a war was to break out, would you fight for this country?

00:31:07.040 Absolutely no way.

00:31:10.040 Oh, no, no way. Why not?

00:31:12.040 Because this ain't my country. I might be a British citizen, but I'm here just to live and be at peace.

00:31:20.040 I'm not here to fight no one else's battles, you know what I mean?

00:31:23.040 If it means I can't live peacefully, I might just stick it out of there, you know what I'm saying?

00:31:28.040 So, brother, I'm going to play devil's advocate with you.

00:31:30.040 So some people might say, you know, you've been raised here.

00:31:34.040 You know, you've got the fruits of the country.

00:31:36.040 Maybe you should defend it.

00:31:38.040 What would you say to them?

00:31:39.040 Tell that to your maje, bro. Your maje grew up here, too.

00:31:42.040 Like, your family grew up here.

00:31:44.040 You tell your family to go to the war, innit?

00:31:46.040 Me and my family are taking the first plane out of there.

00:31:51.040 Out of there.

00:31:53.040 Go on.

00:31:54.040 Right.

00:31:55.040 I've got some maje.

00:31:57.040 I have no idea.

00:31:58.040 Some urban slang.

00:32:00.040 But this is one point that is to be made.

00:32:03.040 That if war were to break out, the diversity would flee Britain's shores like that. 1.00

00:32:10.040 If you think that they even attempt to sign them up.

00:32:13.040 They might even make them exempt.

00:32:15.040 Yeah.

00:32:16.040 I mean, everything has gone against the young white men of this country. 0.53

00:32:20.040 So I don't see why this would necessarily be anything.

00:32:22.040 Yeah, that's true.

00:32:23.040 Just to hammer home the point, I'll play another one.

00:32:25.040 If UK was to go to war, would you join the military?

00:32:27.040 Yeah.

00:32:28.040 I'm not from the country, so no.

00:32:30.040 First of all, I'm not a UK citizen.

00:32:33.040 I'm an immigrant.

00:32:34.040 I'm...

00:32:35.040 Welsh? 0.84

00:32:36.040 No.

00:32:37.040 We're Irish.

00:32:38.040 We don't like the UK military.

00:32:39.040 No, thank you.

00:32:40.040 Where are you from?

00:32:41.040 Brazil.

00:32:42.040 Do you live here?

00:32:43.040 Yes.

00:32:44.040 Would you go to war for this country?

00:32:45.040 No.

00:32:46.040 I'm Pakistani, sir.

00:32:47.040 Are you a resident?

00:32:48.040 I'm a resident.

00:32:49.040 I'll go to Haiti. 0.93

00:32:50.040 You guys live in the UK?

00:32:51.040 Yeah.

00:32:52.040 Would you join the military?

00:32:53.040 No.

00:32:54.040 I'm not from this country.

00:32:55.040 If they say it's compulsory, what would you do?

00:32:56.040 I'll just go back to my country.

00:32:57.040 I'll just go back to my country.

00:32:58.040 I'll just go back to my country.

00:32:59.040 What I'm saying.

00:33:00.040 And this sort of psychology just permeates everything that they do.

00:33:05.040 You know, it's why they don't care and it's why they don't look after their own neighbourhoods. 1.00

00:33:09.040 It's why I don't let them just go to... go to shit. 1.00

00:33:12.040 It's awful. 1.00

00:33:13.040 Well, they're rootless and therefore they're not going back to our country.

00:33:15.040 Yeah.

00:33:16.040 I'll do one more again just to stress the point.

00:33:18.040 He tells you that you're going to war.

00:33:19.040 What are you going to tell him?

00:33:20.040 I'm going to tell him to just like...

00:33:22.040 Just like, bro, you fizz.

00:33:24.040 Like, for starters, you feel I'm going to war?

00:33:27.040 Yeah.

00:33:28.040 Like, you started.

00:33:29.040 Like, what?

00:33:30.040 Come on now.

00:33:31.040 Use your brain.

00:33:32.040 I know.

00:33:33.040 Why you not going to go to war?

00:33:34.040 I ain't going to war.

00:33:35.040 Cause it's like, bro.

00:33:36.040 It's England.

00:33:37.040 Why am I fighting for a country I don't like?

00:33:39.040 Are you not English?

00:33:40.040 Nah.

00:33:41.040 Where are you from then?

00:33:42.040 Yeah.

00:33:43.040 I'm from Jamaica and Africa, innit?

00:33:45.040 So, mummy needs to ship me to Niger.

00:33:47.040 So I need to be safe.

00:33:48.040 I need to be safe.

00:33:49.040 Don't worry.

00:33:51.040 We'll be shipping...

00:33:52.040 I agree with the kids.

00:33:53.040 Yeah.

00:33:54.040 We'll be shipping them all back and they'll be safe in their own home countries eventually. 1.00

00:33:57.040 But you see my point.

00:33:58.040 They're calling for a World War One level conflict.

00:34:01.040 It's going to be young white British men who die in it. 0.99

00:34:04.040 That's what it's going to be.

00:34:05.040 It's just going to be faster ethnic replacement all over again. 0.97

00:34:08.040 This is what they always do.

00:34:09.040 And what is that death going to look like?

00:34:11.040 I don't know if this has come across cleanly.

00:34:14.040 You...

00:34:15.040 Samson, can you see if you can play this?

00:34:17.040 Let's get this sound running.

00:34:21.040 Maybe it doesn't work.

00:34:22.040 There should be...

00:34:23.040 You might have to take it out of dark mode possibly to see the button.

00:34:26.040 But basically what we got here...

00:34:28.040 There we go.

00:34:29.040 Press that little icon there.

00:34:30.040 No, no.

00:34:31.040 Go down.

00:34:32.040 Press the sound icon.

00:34:37.040 Okay.

00:34:38.040 This may not be working.

00:34:39.040 You may need to hit the sound icon thing again.

00:34:42.040 Okay.

00:34:43.040 Well, this is basically...

00:34:44.040 It's in the reading links if you want to see it.

00:34:46.040 But basically what it is, it's playing the sound of drones.

00:34:51.040 It's the sound that you hear.

00:34:53.040 And then the article is about basically, you know, young men who have come out of this

00:35:00.040 describing what it's like to be in these conflicts.

00:35:03.040 And you just hear this sort of sound a bit like a moped, a bit like a mosquito in the distance.

00:35:07.040 And then it buzzes around for quite a while.

00:35:10.040 And you can't see it.

00:35:11.040 You don't know what's going on.

00:35:12.040 You just hear this moped sound in the distance and then you die.

00:35:16.040 Or you're horrifically injured.

00:35:18.040 I've got a version of this article here that's got some pictures we might be able to access.

00:35:23.040 Let's see if I can get down to them.

00:35:25.040 So this is...

00:35:26.040 There we go.

00:35:27.040 So this young man from Ukraine.

00:35:29.040 There he was before.

00:35:31.040 And he describes in the article how, you know, he heard this sound, this buzzing sound in the background.

00:35:39.040 And next thing he knows, there's a blinding white light, a flash, a bang.

00:35:46.040 And the next thing he knows, he's being grabbed by his comrades who are yelling at him.

00:35:52.040 Your arms are gone.

00:35:53.040 Your eyes are gone.

00:35:55.040 It's awful.

00:35:57.040 He's lucky to have survived as well because most people don't survive.

00:36:03.040 No, they don't.

00:36:04.040 Explodes near them.

00:36:05.040 Very deadly.

00:36:06.040 All the casualties in Ukraine are from drones.

00:36:09.040 So this is what you're telling me, the British elite.

00:36:12.040 You're telling me that we have spent the last 30 years furiously outsourcing every job that we can find, every manufacturing job that we can find, we've outsourced to China.

00:36:23.040 Their manufacturing capability is an order of magnitude greater than our ability to manufacture things.

00:36:30.040 All of those drones being deployed in Ukraine are coming out of China.

00:36:34.040 And we've just spent the last 30 years building them up.

00:36:37.040 So we want to go to war in Russia. 0.88

00:36:40.040 We want to send our boys into a bloody Russian winter backed by China who can churn out drones at least 20 to 30 to 1 at the rate that we can so that they can face this. 0.98

00:36:52.040 That's what this talk actually leads to.

00:36:54.040 It's our boys coming back looking like that if they come back at all.

00:36:58.040 So they can face that after spending the first few decades of their life being made second class citizens in their own home, disinherited from every birthright that should have been theirs.

00:37:08.040 I think this is a good moment to point out that there's no way in hell that I would ever fight for the country as it is.

00:37:15.040 No, I'd certainly get thrown in jail.

00:37:16.040 Yeah, yeah.

00:37:17.040 At the very least.

00:37:18.040 Our enemies are in Westminster, they're not abroad.

00:37:21.040 There's no way that people would do this with the way the country is at the minute. 1.00

00:37:28.040 I'm just saying to the audience, if you know any of these idiots who are getting gun-ho, and I bet you these idiots, they're like Julie Hartley Brewer, they know they're not going to go themselves. 1.00

00:37:36.040 That's what's going to happen to our young boys if we send them into this situation. 1.00

00:37:40.040 If they're lucky.

00:37:41.040 Into this drone warfare where the Russians have had the last four years to perfect this. 0.89

00:37:46.040 The Chinese have had the last four years to perfect these drones and they can churn them out at a significantly higher rate than us. 0.98

00:37:53.040 And the other thing that I was thinking of, you know, I don't want to overstress my point or anything.

00:37:58.040 But if anyone is familiar with the law of 40k, Battle of Isvan Free.

00:38:05.040 Now, our elite, they know all about us.

00:38:09.040 They know which of us are compliant.

00:38:10.040 They monitor our social media.

00:38:12.040 They know which of us got jabbed or not.

00:38:15.040 Is it really a stretch to think that they have identified which of us are the most problematic and they'll be sticking us in the bits that they want to get rid of?

00:38:24.040 Wouldn't surprise me entirely.

00:38:26.040 And what's going to be waiting?

00:38:28.040 Why are we doing this?

00:38:30.040 As Morgoth dryly notes here, this issue is surely to boost those recruitment numbers.

00:38:36.040 Foreign criminals, the Telegraph reports, and illegal immigrants to receive gold star NHS dental services.

00:38:43.040 Despite three quarters of UK adults not having access to similar treatment.

00:38:47.040 And as Morgoth points out, every young English lad can't wait to face the Russians to defend an immigrant gold star dental plan that he can't get himself. 0.62

00:38:58.040 And every day, just every day, there's another story like that.

00:39:01.040 Oh, it's not just the dental plan.

00:39:02.040 Yeah.

00:39:03.040 Just every day.

00:39:04.040 Absolutely, absolutely everything.

00:39:06.040 Let's just remind ourselves of what the bloody RAF said.

00:39:08.040 The RAF, you know, they finally got in trouble for, you know, their diversity targets.

00:39:14.040 What did they say? 0.97

00:39:15.040 When people tried to join the RAF, you know, they were told they didn't want useless white males. 0.99

00:39:20.040 RAF wouldn't exist without the white males. 0.99

00:39:23.040 No. 0.96

00:39:24.040 And this is the thing.

00:39:25.040 When piloting a fast jet was a prestige job, but you didn't face much prospect of actually being sent anywhere to die.

00:39:32.040 Yeah. 1.00

00:39:33.040 White men are useless white men. 1.00

00:39:35.040 The moment it looks like we might actually be needed to, you know, to sacrifice a million bodies, suddenly they want the white men. 1.00

00:39:45.040 Yeah. 0.91

00:39:46.040 Yeah.

00:39:47.040 And what's going to be happening when you're away?

00:39:49.040 You know, this is a, you know, again, I just, I just picked this pretty much at random for my feed.

00:39:55.040 I could have picked any other day.

00:39:57.040 I could have picked another story, but I picked this one.

00:39:59.040 You know, this German guy, he describes how an Arab man grabbed his 12 year old little sister at a gas station and tried to run off with her.

00:40:10.040 And he, and luckily he was there and he, he was able to get her back.

00:40:15.040 But of course, if this all goes through, because this conscription narrative, it isn't just coming to the UK.

00:40:21.040 It's coming to basically every, everywhere in Europe simultaneously.

00:40:26.040 They all went out, the Germans, the, I mean, all of them, they all went out to their population and said, yeah, we're going to be doing this conscription. 1.00

00:40:34.040 And that 12 year old girl would have been dragged away if, you know, if, if this chap here had been deployed to the front line.

00:40:40.040 Yeah.

00:40:42.040 What else is going to be happening when you're away?

00:40:44.040 This is going to continue.

00:40:46.040 The sound of the third world right there. 0.94

00:41:07.040 But that's not going to stop. That's not even going to slow down.

00:41:12.040 No.

00:41:13.040 When all the, when all the white British boys are sent abroad. 0.57

00:41:16.040 The thing is as well, right, for the longest time, I thought about just what the elites are doing to us.

00:41:21.040 And, you know, you just think back to, to like Rome and the Roman Republic.

00:41:25.040 And it's like, okay, well, you know, back then, how did the majority, how did the ordinary everyday people, how were they able to manipulate their elites into doing what the plebs wanted to, you know? 0.97

00:41:36.040 And in the early, you know, decades of Rome that you'd have the secession of the plebs where they just leave and be like, no, you know, 1.00

00:41:43.040 they need us in order for just everything to function.

00:41:46.040 And they just go and sit on the hill and wait for the elites to go, all right, we'll, we'll give you some concessions.

00:41:51.040 And I thought, well, why don't we just do all that in this country?

00:41:55.040 But it wouldn't have worked.

00:41:56.040 Because actually, there was nothing, you know, manufacturing, just everything, you know, nursing, dental care, all of it, just the bus drivers.

00:42:03.040 They lived off the land then.

00:42:04.040 They just replace you. 0.83

00:42:05.040 If you just back out, they just replace you with these people.

00:42:10.040 Oh, they're going to replace us anyway.

00:42:11.040 It's just a question of the speed they're doing.

00:42:13.040 Right.

00:42:14.040 But the thing is, this, this war is the one time that they can't replace us. 0.85

00:42:20.040 Because these guys, they're going to be getting their gold star dental plan and their way with your 12 year old sister.

00:42:25.040 Yeah.

00:42:26.040 When you're gone.

00:42:27.040 You know, they're going to be getting all the perks while you're gone.

00:42:30.040 And you're going to get droned.

00:42:32.040 And you're going to get droned. 0.95

00:42:34.040 The shocking map of Britain that reels the true scale of the sex crimes by illegal migrants. 0.99

00:42:40.040 Right.

00:42:41.040 The only reason that these maps aren't worse than they are is because there's still enough white British men here to stop it. 1.00

00:42:47.040 Hmm.

00:42:48.040 Once they're all packed off and those boats keep flowing, you know, what exactly do we think is going to happen here?

00:42:54.040 And, and, and, and, and I'm just going to say, I'm just absolutely furious about this.

00:42:59.040 Yeah.

00:43:00.040 I, this is a betrayal beyond any level of betrayal that we've seen so far.

00:43:05.040 And we've had a lot of it.

00:43:07.040 And I'm telling you, if you're a young man who gets faced with this in a year or two, don't go.

00:43:13.040 No.

00:43:14.040 Just, just tell them, fine, put me in prison.

00:43:15.040 Yeah.

00:43:16.040 Just do that. 0.66

00:43:17.040 At least you'll live and you're not fighting for a country that hates you once you're replaced, once you're basically dead.

00:43:22.040 If they want to conscript anyone, it should be the older generations. 1.00

00:43:25.040 You know, the, the, the support for the Ukraine war.

00:43:28.040 The boomers of the Ukraine flanks. 0.99

00:43:29.040 Yeah.

00:43:30.040 Yeah.

00:43:31.040 The support for the Ukraine war is, is highest amongst the boomers.

00:43:34.040 So send them.

00:43:35.040 I don't think it'll work, but you know, just find, just find everybody who's put a Ukraine flag up in their garden, who, who nods along to Julie Hartley Brewer on the radio, or has a Ukraine flag in their bio, pick them, send them off.

00:43:48.040 Send them off.

00:43:49.040 But I mean, that won't work.

00:43:50.040 Cause I can tell you I'm, I'm only 46 and I, and I, and I watched this thing on, um, Netflix the other day about Marine bootcamp turned out to be a queer coming of age story because it was on Netflix.

00:44:00.040 I don't know why, but anyway, um, so I was, I was watching this thing and, um, you know, they do a thing where it's 3am.

00:44:06.040 The drill sergeant comes in, he shouts and all the guys, he leap out of bed.

00:44:10.040 They stand to attention.

00:44:11.040 I'm just thinking bloody hell. 0.92

00:44:12.040 Can you imagine if they did that with a bunch of 46 year olds?

00:44:14.040 I mean, the drill sergeant would be there for a while before people woke up and then they'd be clambering out of bed and stretching their backs.

00:44:22.040 I mean, and then he would get angry and demand.

00:44:24.040 They do pushups.

00:44:25.040 I mean, I might be doing the first 20, but I'm doing the rest of my knees after that.

00:44:28.040 And if, and if he wants to yell at me, I'm just not going to be intimidated by some 29 year old drill instructor.

00:44:33.040 I'm just gonna be like, Oh, go away.

00:44:35.040 Let's not forget as well that, uh, the army have just recently just gotten rid of most of red tape restricting, uh, people with AIDS and HIV, uh, from the military as well.

00:44:45.040 Again, because of the absolutely shambolic recruitment numbers.

00:44:49.040 And so they are just poking them from absolutely.

00:44:52.040 The police abolish the requirement, um, that you don't have a criminal record and the security services MI6 and MI5 have abolished the requirement that you have at least one British parent.

00:45:02.040 What are we doing here?

00:45:03.040 Yeah.

00:45:04.040 What are we doing here?

00:45:05.040 But, but they, but they do need white men when they want to send them into a Russian winter. 0.84

00:45:09.040 Yep.

00:45:10.040 Um, I mean, which, which, which led to this, this, this good for.

00:45:14.040 Yeah, I saw this.

00:45:15.040 Ila Jan chap, who's some EU apparatchik, you know, he put out, what, what do you prefer?

00:45:20.040 World War three or Europeans under the slavery of Putin?

00:45:23.040 And everybody said, yeah, we take the Putin option. 0.57

00:45:25.040 Thank you very much.

00:45:26.040 What difference does it make to me that I walked down Regent Street and instead of seeing pride flags the whole way down, I see Russian flags.

00:45:33.040 I mean, okay.

00:45:36.040 Okay.

00:45:37.040 I mean, I imagine that Russian boots on the ground would probably protect your daughters better as well.

00:45:41.040 Yes.

00:45:42.040 Than what the British state currently does.

00:45:43.040 I mean, would it be like being a slave and exchanging masters, really?

00:45:48.040 Yeah.

00:45:49.040 At worst, because in Britain we are treated like slaves.

00:45:53.040 We're, we're, we're tax cattle that exist only to prop up the, you know, the managerial class. 0.97

00:46:00.040 The only difference is, is, is the reason I'd probably prefer being Putin's slave than gay race communist slave is because Putin's is a masculine regime. 0.88

00:46:08.040 And that means, you know, where the lines are, you know, if you criticize Putin, you're going to get a knock on the door. 0.96

00:46:13.040 I don't know what's going to trigger my knock at the door.

00:46:16.040 We're going to have a couple of female police officers turn up. 1.00

00:46:19.040 And, and, and actually we had this from, uh, was it Northern variant?

00:46:21.040 The guy who came in a little while ago, he had a, he had a 3am visit from the police or something you tweeted.

00:46:27.040 They wouldn't tell him what you've tweeted something.

00:46:30.040 We're not going to tell you what.

00:46:31.040 Yeah.

00:46:32.040 And that's going to get you a 3am police visit.

00:46:34.040 We're going to knock on your door.

00:46:35.040 We're going to force our way in.

00:46:36.040 We're going to take all your electronic devices.

00:46:37.040 We're going to take down the police station.

00:46:38.040 We're not going to tell you why though.

00:46:39.040 It's literally Kafka-esque.

00:46:41.040 Yes.

00:46:42.040 You've been arrested and you don't even know why you've been arrested.

00:46:44.040 At least if we were living under Putin's regime, I would probably know where the lines are.

00:46:48.040 And I could be like, okay, fair enough.

00:46:50.040 At least I know where I am now.

00:46:51.040 It's just not-

00:46:52.040 Can't do that under the current regime.

00:46:53.040 Yeah.

00:46:54.040 It's more honest.

00:46:55.040 You just know where you are.

00:46:56.040 Yeah.

00:46:57.040 Bit, bit of, um, bit of Julie Hartley Brewer.

00:46:59.040 Um.

00:47:00.040 Oh, do we have to? 0.91

00:47:01.040 Disgusting creature, but, uh, but fine. 0.93

00:47:03.040 You know, we, we, we listen to what she has to say. 0.94

00:47:05.040 Yeah.

00:47:06.040 And, and just look at the end.

00:47:07.040 At the end of this video, I just want you to notice how giddy with excitement she is.

00:47:12.040 Mm.

00:47:13.040 At the prospect of this war.

00:47:14.040 Uh, in France, you know, in Finland, there are actually lots of other countries around

00:47:17.040 Europe are now moving to this way.

00:47:18.040 Do we need to actually, you know, actually have a, you know, national service of some

00:47:23.040 kind?

00:47:24.040 We need to get our young people trained up ready.

00:47:26.040 So if, you know, if and when they are called to arms, because a lot of people just say

00:47:31.040 we're both warmongers.

00:47:32.040 Well, yeah, I, I, I quite agree.

00:47:35.040 Uh, I think we need-

00:47:36.040 I hope he's agreeing to the bit of-

00:47:37.040 Yeah, I hope.

00:47:38.040 Yeah.

00:47:39.040 Because, because they are.

00:47:40.040 We need to have plans for it.

00:47:41.040 We don't need it now.

00:47:42.040 Um, the national, the strategic reserve, the veterans, they're all keen to get involved.

00:47:47.040 Absolutely.

00:47:48.040 We have to look at our European, you know, people like the Finns and the Swedes, you know, 0.94

00:47:52.040 where they do, everybody is trained and they can put a lot of people on the ground, but

00:47:55.040 they're a lot, a lot closer to the threat than we are.

00:47:58.040 I think we just need plans because if it all does go badly and the worst case scenario

00:48:03.040 that we do-

00:48:04.040 I'll quickly point out, I have never in my lifetime seen the government draw up a set

00:48:08.040 of plans that they didn't then act upon.

00:48:10.040 If you do get involved in a conflict in Europe, then yeah, I'm afraid we'll all be involved.

00:48:15.040 So we need plans rather than just trying to ignore it that we have done since the end

00:48:19.040 of the Cold War.

00:48:20.040 And we have been ignoring it.

00:48:21.040 I apologize to be ignoring it.

00:48:22.040 But one of the reasons they've done that is because it's quite convenient not to have

00:48:26.040 to spend a huge chunk of our national income on defence and spending it on, you know, nurses

00:48:31.040 or free this, free that, a bit more welfare, everybody.

00:48:34.040 That's what people prefer, isn't it?

00:48:37.040 Well, one can see, and certainly I'm sure the present government would say that's what

00:48:41.040 they were voted in on.

00:48:43.040 But unfortunately, the situation is rapidly changing.

00:48:46.040 And if we spend all the money, all the government money on welfare and other things, then we will

00:48:52.040 not have a defence to be able to carry on in the way that people would like to live in

00:48:57.040 this country.

00:48:58.040 I wonder if we could solve a lot of this with, like, hey, no more, no more welfare for

00:49:02.040 anyone on the age of 30.

00:49:03.040 Look how excited she gets.

00:49:04.040 You're joining the military.

00:49:05.040 That might focus minds in lots of different ways, eh?

00:49:08.040 Quivering with anticipation.

00:49:11.040 Where did that come from?

00:49:14.040 For this, basically. 0.95

00:49:17.040 Again, it's been 80 years since we've had an army of white boys killing another army of 0.99

00:49:22.040 white boys. 0.99

00:49:23.040 Let's do it again.

00:49:24.040 Oh, they love it.

00:49:25.040 They do.

00:49:26.040 They love it.

00:49:27.040 Yeah.

00:49:28.040 Can't wait to get it going again. 1.00

00:49:29.040 And I just want to say to the British elite, fuck you. 1.00

00:49:33.040 Absolutely. 1.00

00:49:34.040 Fuck you. 1.00

00:49:35.040 This is beyond anything that you've looked at doing before. 1.00

00:49:39.040 And I think the burden really falls upon, I mean, first of all, young men don't go 1.00

00:49:43.040 along with this.

00:49:44.040 Secondly, to the 40 and 50 year old dads, if they try and do this, we have to go down to

00:49:49.040 Westminster and we have to tackle the real enemy because this is completely and utterly

00:49:55.040 unacceptable.

00:49:56.040 It's just ethnic replacement for globalist fantasies.

00:49:59.040 And I'm not letting them do it again.

00:50:01.040 Not.

00:50:02.040 No.

00:50:03.040 Anyway, rant's over.

00:50:04.040 No.

00:50:05.040 Well, well said, Dan.

00:50:06.040 Do you want me to, yeah, I'll go through these.

00:50:08.040 Luke91 says, on the bright side, any survivors coming back will no longer have the sensibilities,

00:50:18.040 but are blood loss, so, yeah, I mean, I don't think anyone would have the energy after that.

00:50:25.040 Sigilstone says, can't have a secession of the plebs when the elites are trying to get

00:50:29.040 rid of you. 0.93

00:50:30.040 That's what they want.

00:50:31.040 Yeah, well, yeah, exactly.

00:50:32.040 Hence the point I was trying to make.

00:50:35.040 Exiles29 says, this is what I was saying about national unity before.

00:50:39.040 It's pointless asking people to defend our heritage and culture if they're here to subvert

00:50:44.040 it.

00:50:45.040 Luke also says, if they're trying to pull this S, you're going to get an armed revolt and

00:50:53.040 a new government, don't mean it in a fed posty way, is just saying that is naturally what

00:50:58.040 will happen if they try and force the issue.

00:51:01.040 He also says, I'm sorry, conscription isn't going to work nowadays.

00:51:05.040 The young generation are pissed off and you're arming them and teaching them how to use them. 0.83

00:51:11.040 You might as well surrender and hand the reins to them.

00:51:14.040 All right.

00:51:15.040 It means anything but that.

00:51:16.040 And let's say they do pull it off.

00:51:18.040 Let's say they manage to send four or five million young white British men off to conflict. 0.57

00:51:24.040 And, you know.

00:51:25.040 And they beat Russia in the way that Hitler or Napoleon never could. 0.77

00:51:29.040 Well, first of all, history of soldiers, you don't win.

00:51:32.040 Yeah.

00:51:33.040 Invading Russia. 0.83

00:51:34.040 At times the charm, I guess.

00:51:36.040 You know, when less than a million of, when one million less than the, whatever, five

00:51:41.040 million.

00:51:42.040 So when four million of them come back and they're completely inured to violence, what

00:51:45.040 are they going to do?

00:51:46.040 When they get back and they hear the stories about their sisters and their daughters being

00:51:50.040 raped while they're away and the government who sent them out, what is, what, how long 0.96

00:51:55.040 does the government really think it's going to last?

00:51:57.040 It's basically arming its own replacement there, isn't it?

00:52:02.040 That's why I don't think that they're going to go through this sort of thing is that one,

00:52:07.040 they won't be able to get away with it.

00:52:09.040 And two, if they do, they'll be sowing the seeds of their own destruction.

00:52:13.040 And they can't be so naive as to not see that right.

00:52:17.040 It seems to me that their destruction or, you know, their fall, their decline is kind

00:52:22.040 of a foregone conclusion at this point.

00:52:24.040 They just, they're losing power more and more every single day.

00:52:28.040 The question is how many more of us, just regular people, regular Europeans, are going

00:52:33.040 to get hurt and dragged down with them along the way?

00:52:37.040 It need not be any if we do.

00:52:39.040 Well, I know.

00:52:40.040 And that's, all of this is just one massive unforced error.

00:52:45.040 May I have the podcasting utility?

00:52:48.040 Seems like a reasonable request.

00:52:50.040 You're going to do it hands-free.

00:52:52.040 There you go.

00:52:54.040 Use the force, Josh.

00:52:55.040 Thankfully, I have some good news.

00:52:57.040 And that is that even though Europe and parts of America are perhaps not the best,

00:53:03.040 Latin America is on a trend of things seemingly getting better.

00:53:07.040 And in fact, they seem to be rejecting socialism.

00:53:10.040 So on the left hand side here, this was 2023 and red represents the left wing and blue represents

00:53:18.040 the right wing, which is the colors in the rest of the world, except the United States,

00:53:22.040 which is very confusing.

00:53:23.040 Thank you for that.

00:53:24.040 Swapping them around.

00:53:25.040 And then this is the state of Latin America going into 2026, which is considerably different.

00:53:34.040 Obviously, the United States, you know, is not part of it and that makes it look better.

00:53:39.040 Brazil actually voted right wing, but they had their coup and Lula was able to get through

00:53:43.040 with deep state Biden backing.

00:53:45.040 So that way, that bit should be blue as well.

00:53:47.040 We will be talking about the Brazilians, but they are set to have an election in October

00:53:51.040 of next year.

00:53:53.040 Be interesting how...

00:53:55.040 Well, now the opposition's in jail.

00:53:57.040 I wonder how that's going to go.

00:53:58.040 Yes, but they do have a promising new sort of replacement for Bolsonaro.

00:54:04.040 But what we're going to be talking about mainly is the election in Chile, which I found very

00:54:12.040 interesting.

00:54:13.040 So here's the BBC saying Chile elects far right Jose Antonio Cast as next president.

00:54:21.040 Good start.

00:54:22.040 Mm hmm.

00:54:23.040 And one thing that I found interesting before I carry on is this quote that the some absolute

00:54:30.040 mad lad called Max Struber.

00:54:33.040 I wonder how he got to South America said.

00:54:37.040 I can't find it in the actual article, but I've got it here somewhere.

00:54:41.040 Maybe you can you can find it while I'm reading it, Samson.

00:54:44.040 But he says it may sound harsh to say it, but we need the government to continue Pinochet's

00:54:48.040 work.

00:54:49.040 Human rights abuses existed.

00:54:51.040 That's true.

00:54:52.040 But as a government, it was good.

00:54:53.040 We used to have peace and tranquility, which...

00:54:56.040 Ah, thank you, Samson.

00:54:57.040 If they're going to borrow anything from Pinochet, it should be the uniforms.

00:55:01.040 Oh, the uniforms were fantastic, weren't they?

00:55:03.040 His drip was tier one.

00:55:06.040 Yeah.

00:55:07.040 I don't so much support the torture and the murder, but the uniforms were cool.

00:55:12.040 Should never have let go of the cape.

00:55:14.040 It was a magnificent piece of...

00:55:16.040 If anyone doesn't know what I'm talking about, look up Pinochet's uniforms.

00:55:19.040 Yeah.

00:55:20.040 And also, if you're not familiar with Pinochet, what he did was he took lots of communists

00:55:24.040 on free helicopter rides.

00:55:26.040 He was a very generous leader and they had so much fun that they never came back.

00:55:31.040 And it's estimated that 2,000 lucky communists took this helicopter ride.

00:55:36.040 Yeah, but they're communists and it's free.

00:55:39.040 Mm-hmm.

00:55:40.040 What's not to like?

00:55:41.040 They didn't have to pay for it, did they?

00:55:42.040 Nope.

00:55:43.040 No.

00:55:44.040 So, one of the interesting things that this caste fellow said in 2017 was this.

00:55:51.040 He assures that if Pinochet were alive, he would clearly vote for me, which is something

00:55:58.040 I'm surprised he said, but I respect him for doing it.

00:56:02.040 Well, apparently that was a vote winner.

00:56:04.040 Mm-hmm.

00:56:05.040 I must be the one who recognizes the most and has the least complexes with the military

00:56:10.040 government, he says.

00:56:12.040 So, he's basically like, I'm pretty sure his brother worked as a minister in the government,

00:56:17.040 which might be part of it.

00:56:18.040 Mm-hmm.

00:56:19.040 So, it seems to be in the family.

00:56:21.040 And in fact, this guy, here he is in 1988, featuring in a pro Pinochet ad in Chile.

00:56:29.040 There he is.

00:56:30.040 And one thing you might have noticed about him, here's another picture of him with his

00:56:37.040 large family, is that he's got blonde hair and blue eyes, which doesn't happen that often,

00:56:43.040 and a German surname, which is interesting.

00:56:46.040 He's also a devout Catholic, and he's a father of nine there, as you can see.

00:56:52.040 Hot man.

00:56:53.040 And why might it be that there's a man in South America that has blonde hair and blue eyes?

00:57:00.040 This is not going to go the way I think it's going to go.

00:57:02.040 What are you doing here, Josh?

00:57:04.040 Chilean president candidate's father was a member of the Nazi party.

00:57:07.040 Oh, it's exactly the way I thought it was going to go.

00:57:09.040 I see you.

00:57:10.040 Yes.

00:57:11.040 Double-double-crossed me there.

00:57:13.040 Don't second-guess me.

00:57:14.040 Don't you dare second-guess me.

00:57:17.040 Sometimes it is what you think it is.

00:57:19.040 Right.

00:57:20.040 Okay.

00:57:21.040 Apparently, in the 1940s, when he was serving in the military, he joined the Nazi party,

00:57:27.040 which, stranger things have happened.

00:57:29.040 Well, yeah.

00:57:30.040 When you're a German in Germany fighting in Germany's war.

00:57:35.040 Yeah.

00:57:36.040 Isn't there in Argentina an entirely, like, German town that's stuck in the 1940s?

00:57:42.040 And it's just got German regalia everywhere, German customs.

00:57:45.040 It's totally...

00:57:46.040 It's just a time-frozen German town. 0.62

00:57:48.040 Right.

00:57:49.040 Somewhere in Argentina today.

00:57:50.040 It sounds about right, yeah.

00:57:52.040 Yeah.

00:57:53.040 I mean, they've still got, in the United States, from hundreds of years ago, towns that still

00:57:57.040 speak German as their main language.

00:58:00.040 Right.

00:58:01.040 Like, a different form of German, obviously, than the modern German.

00:58:03.040 Yeah.

00:58:04.040 But there are people that move to places and don't really, ironically enough, integrate.

00:58:09.040 Yeah, they don't integrate.

00:58:10.040 Yeah, they don't integrate.

00:58:11.040 I mean, I wouldn't read too much into this, personally.

00:58:13.040 You know, I mean, you know, descendants of Nazis can really turn up in the most unlikely

00:58:18.040 of occupations.

00:58:19.040 Head of MI6.

00:58:20.040 Yeah, head of MI6, they can...

00:58:22.040 Yeah, and also, it's not actually fair to hold someone, you know, accountable for

00:58:27.040 the sins of their father.

00:58:28.040 No.

00:58:29.040 And, of course, he was also just a German in Germany at the time.

00:58:33.040 It's not necessarily like he was, you know, part of the SS or something.

00:58:37.040 And it is worth mentioning, as well, that his father and mother migrated to Chile in 1950

00:58:44.040 and 51, respectively.

00:58:46.040 So, it wasn't, like, immediately after the war.

00:58:49.040 So, they weren't fleeing, like, Nuremberg or anything like that.

00:58:52.040 Yeah.

00:58:53.040 So, his grandfather isn't that German.

00:58:55.040 Yeah, he's not all the way.

00:58:58.040 And also, the amusing thing is, his family made, I'm including this purely, it has no bearing

00:59:04.040 on actual news or geopolitics, but just for my own amusement.

00:59:08.040 They made a living, his parents, by opening a sausage factory, which is possibly the most

00:59:13.040 German thing I've ever heard.

00:59:16.040 Oh, that's...

00:59:17.040 Meme magic is real.

00:59:18.040 Right next to the cabbage factory.

00:59:21.040 And, yes, as I mentioned, his brother was a minister during Pinochet's dictatorship.

00:59:26.040 But all of this is just interesting to me.

00:59:29.040 I'm mentioning it not because I think it actually should inform anything.

00:59:32.040 It's just sort of something that I found that amused me.

00:59:36.040 So, it is worth mentioning that some things haven't translated down the familial line,

00:59:45.040 because he's quite pro-Israel, a bit like Millet, in a sense.

00:59:48.040 Yeah.

00:59:49.040 He's sort of a Millet-like figure, which probably is why Millet, when he won, he congratulated

00:59:54.040 him, in that he's sort of economically a bit liberal.

00:59:59.040 He wants to cozy up to the United States.

01:00:02.040 He's socially conservative, but pro-Israel, despite being Catholic.

01:00:08.040 And here's the Jerusalem Post admitting that he's pro-Israel.

01:00:13.040 So, I feel like if there were a problem here, they would probably be the ones to be whinging

01:00:18.040 about it.

01:00:19.040 And he's also supposedly supportive of Netanyahu.

01:00:22.040 There's a comment to be made here, but I don't feel I can get away with it, so I'm

01:00:25.040 not going to make it.

01:00:26.040 Oh, it's okay.

01:00:27.040 I've been making that one in my mind.

01:00:28.040 I can see you're feeling better then.

01:00:30.040 Yes.

01:00:31.040 And we can also move on to this.

01:00:35.040 So, this headline is, on same-sex marriage, he says, basically, even though I don't like

01:00:43.040 it, if parliament votes in favour, it will become law.

01:00:47.040 And he's also anti-abortion and euthanasia.

01:00:50.040 So, he's actually...

01:00:51.040 As you'd expect from a Catholic. 0.94

01:00:52.040 An actual consistent Catholic, yes.

01:00:54.040 The Israel stuff's a bit weird, if I'm being honest.

01:00:57.040 It's like, hang on a minute, you know, how does that gel with your Catholicism?

01:01:03.040 But, you know, it's...

01:01:05.040 You can't have everything, can you?

01:01:07.040 I don't know why Latin American leaders even have an opinion on a Middle Eastern conflict.

01:01:11.040 You're so far away from it.

01:01:12.040 It has no implications to you, whatsoever.

01:01:15.040 It is really weird.

01:01:17.040 But that's a different conversation, I think.

01:01:22.040 And another thing is this, that I thought was quite surprising.

01:01:26.040 This was a good promise.

01:01:27.040 He says, basically, if I can just quickly translate this, but the gist of it is, if I told you

01:01:35.040 that within the first month I would erase all the graffiti, I might not be able to fulfil

01:01:40.040 it unless all neighbours help us.

01:01:43.040 He's basically saying, if everyone buys a can of paint.

01:01:45.040 So, he's basically trying to say, we can clean up the country.

01:01:48.040 Yeah.

01:01:49.040 Let's make it look nice.

01:01:50.040 Which is something that I'd actually like to see more of in politicians.

01:01:53.040 Just saying, this is ugly.

01:01:56.040 Let's stop it.

01:01:57.040 We can.

01:01:58.040 It is the right way of doing it.

01:01:59.040 I mean, this country could be cleaned up very fast if everybody got behind it.

01:02:03.040 Oh, very easily. 0.96

01:02:04.040 Well, I mean, it's just, it's ridiculous.

01:02:06.040 I was just walking into work today and walking past that new grand bus terminal that they spent,

01:02:12.040 you know, two and a half years making and is the least-

01:02:15.040 Many millions of pounds.

01:02:16.040 The least impressive thing I've ever seen.

01:02:18.040 And it's already just scattered with graffiti.

01:02:20.040 Oh.

01:02:21.040 Of course it is.

01:02:22.040 Of course.

01:02:23.040 Well, to be fair, if we sufficiently oppress the underclasses as they rightly should be, 1.00

01:02:28.040 as well as deporting all the foreigners, none of this would happen. 0.99

01:02:31.040 It's basically our own native scumbags and foreigners doing it. 1.00

01:02:35.040 Yep. 1.00

01:02:36.040 It is not normal people.

01:02:39.040 And it's worth mentioning that on this platform, he won all regions in Chile.

01:02:45.040 Total victory.

01:02:46.040 So, yes.

01:02:48.040 From top to bottom, he won it all, which I thought was interesting.

01:02:52.040 And also, you can see that people are quite excited about it, because I'm going to try

01:02:57.040 and play this without sound.

01:02:59.040 You can get it into that sweet spot where it auto-plays Samson.

01:03:02.040 We can listen to it without it blasting noise in our ears.

01:03:05.040 But basically, it will just show you the size of the crowds.

01:03:08.040 It's worth mentioning that in this part of the world, there's still...

01:03:12.040 Ah, thank you.

01:03:14.040 Okay, it's not actually noise.

01:03:16.040 You can see that they're still somewhat enamored with politics, because look at that turnout.

01:03:21.040 Mm.

01:03:22.040 Yeah, it's obviously someone they actually believe in, that they believe will make change.

01:03:27.040 Yeah.

01:03:28.040 And this might not necessarily be uncharacteristic of Latin American politics.

01:03:33.040 I've not necessarily kept track of it.

01:03:35.040 But it's just the point of contrasting this against countries in Europe, where you don't

01:03:39.040 get anything like this.

01:03:40.040 We're so disenchanted with our political system that no one really cares after an election.

01:03:46.040 You won't get big crowds like this, will you?

01:03:48.040 This didn't happen when Keir Starmer became Prime Minister.

01:03:51.040 Mm-hmm.

01:03:52.040 Didn't happen when Rishi Sunak became Prime Minister.

01:03:54.040 It goes to show how easy it is to make democracy something that people can get genuinely excited

01:04:00.040 about.

01:04:01.040 All you need to do...

01:04:02.040 Like a Bukele. 0.99

01:04:03.040 Yeah.

01:04:04.040 All you need to do is just give them something that actually represents them, and people

01:04:09.040 will fall straight into the democracy mindset.

01:04:12.040 But they can't.

01:04:13.040 They've pushed it to the point where everybody is just rejecting democracy wholesale because

01:04:17.040 they can't stop twisting it.

01:04:19.040 Yeah, they treat it as like broken test subjects.

01:04:22.040 Because in European politics, you have just every flavour of neoliberalism you want, but

01:04:28.040 anything outside of these boundaries, that's verboten.

01:04:31.040 You're not allowed that.

01:04:32.040 Yep.

01:04:33.040 But it is worth mentioning that the comparison to Bukele is appropriate because he's basically 0.91

01:04:38.040 talking about, we need to imprison all the criminals, we need to crack down on crime.

01:04:43.040 Chile, of course, you know, it's still in Latin America, but it's one of the less plagued

01:04:50.040 by these sorts of crimes as the likes of say, Colombia or Honduras or places in that part

01:04:57.040 of the world.

01:04:58.040 But they still have a problem with it.

01:05:00.040 The Chilean, I don't think they have good coke growing plateaus, do they? 0.99

01:05:05.040 A bit too high up, I imagine.

01:05:06.040 Yes.

01:05:07.040 Very good wine.

01:05:08.040 I love, top tip.

01:05:10.040 Buy Chilean wine.

01:05:11.040 I always do.

01:05:12.040 I always do.

01:05:13.040 It's very good.

01:05:14.040 Any price point, because of that mountain air, best wine.

01:05:16.040 I agree.

01:05:17.040 It's always quite affordable and quite nice, isn't it?

01:05:21.040 Yeah.

01:05:22.040 And compared to some of its other things, like quite often you can get a really high markup

01:05:26.040 on French and Italian, particularly red wine, which is my favourite.

01:05:31.040 Sorry, you're getting me on my pet topic here.

01:05:33.040 Yep.

01:05:34.040 There's a reason I've got this all right.

01:05:36.040 As long as you're not a rosé man, we're fine. 1.00

01:05:39.040 Oh, blimey.

01:05:40.040 Blimey and uniforms.

01:05:41.040 Don't worry.

01:05:42.040 That's living the dream.

01:05:45.040 Just wear the uniform and sip wine.

01:05:47.040 But it's worth mentioning that he wants to go very hard.

01:05:50.040 He wants to actually fortify the borders.

01:05:53.040 Apparently they've had a problem with Venezuelans.

01:05:55.040 They've got some 300,000.

01:05:57.040 And he's just like, yeah, we're just going to get rid of them all.

01:05:59.040 They're causing problems.

01:06:00.040 We don't want them.

01:06:01.040 You can just mass deport people.

01:06:03.040 Yeah, he's talking about mass deporting illegals.

01:06:05.040 And I don't think they have the same problems with mass legal migration that we might have.

01:06:12.040 And so the illegal problem is actually probably one of the main concerns,

01:06:15.040 although I could be wrong about that.

01:06:16.040 But I wasn't able to find anything to suggest anything to the contrary.

01:06:21.040 Well, to be fair, if you're going to get a dinghy into Chile,

01:06:24.040 you're going to need to start in Australia or Indonesia.

01:06:27.040 And that's quite a boat trip.

01:06:29.040 It's basically a lion's share of the Pacific.

01:06:31.040 Yes.

01:06:32.040 It's about a third of the planet.

01:06:34.040 And who really wants to live at Tierra del Fuego?

01:06:37.040 Yes.

01:06:38.040 Isn't that pretty close to Argentina as well?

01:06:41.040 Yeah.

01:06:42.040 If not, I think they have parts of it near it.

01:06:45.040 But anyway, the point being is that he's being quite tough on illegal immigration and crime

01:06:50.040 and things like that, and people are going to like it and it's going to work

01:06:53.040 because it works for Bekele, it works for other Latin American countries,

01:06:57.040 that if you just crack down on crime, corruption, illegal migration, keep borders, have sensible economic policies

01:07:04.040 where you're not shelling out on welfare like Venezuela.

01:07:07.040 You know, Venezuela, of course, at one point was the richest country in all of South America

01:07:12.040 and it fritted its money away on welfare and now it's one of the poorest.

01:07:16.040 There's a lesson in there.

01:07:18.040 The largest proven oil reserves in the world, greater than Saudi Arabia.

01:07:21.040 Yep.

01:07:22.040 It could have been, you know, a utopia, you know, heaven on earth.

01:07:26.040 They got so rich they thought they could afford socialism.

01:07:29.040 They couldn't.

01:07:30.040 Yep.

01:07:31.040 No one can afford it because it doesn't work.

01:07:33.040 And it's also worth mentioning this guy.

01:07:37.040 So he is Renan Santos.

01:07:39.040 I'm probably mispronouncing that.

01:07:41.040 I speak better French than Spanish.

01:07:43.040 And he promises to become Bekele for Brazil and lock up all the gangs, which in Brazil is even bolder.

01:07:51.040 He says decline isn't inevitable.

01:07:53.040 Brazil can be fixed. 0.97

01:07:54.040 And he seems to be like the heir to Bolasinaro in Brazil.

01:07:58.040 And of course, they've got this upcoming election in October.

01:08:02.040 And I don't think Lula is particularly popular at the minute.

01:08:07.040 And also the Workers' Party, obviously not particularly popular with the United States.

01:08:14.040 But by the fact that it's a Marxist organization, a bit difficult.

01:08:18.040 And you want to be on good terms with the United States because if you're a student of history,

01:08:22.040 they have a history of meddling in Latin America.

01:08:25.040 Yeah.

01:08:26.040 And it makes things a little bit difficult when you're antagonistic to the incumbent government.

01:08:32.040 And so if Brazil is smart, it will try and cozy up to the United States.

01:08:38.040 Hopefully, this guy doesn't have weird opinions about Middle Eastern conflicts that have nothing to do with him and does a good job if he does get in.

01:08:47.040 But it seems like if Brazil goes as well in 26, then the vast share of Latin America has all of a sudden become quite sensible is going to be quite well governed.

01:08:59.040 And a lot of the problems will slowly disappear.

01:09:02.040 And we might actually see Latin America have a sort of golden age if things continue on the trajectory.

01:09:08.040 But of course, that's assuming everything carries on the same as it is at the minute.

01:09:12.040 And of course, that is always quite a naive prediction.

01:09:15.040 But things seem to be trending that way.

01:09:17.040 The days of socialism plaguing the continent seem to be over.

01:09:23.040 Wouldn't that be nice?

01:09:25.040 It would indeed.

01:09:27.040 We have the video comments.

01:09:29.040 They still have the deal with Canada in that case, don't they?

01:09:31.040 But, you know.

01:09:32.040 You got the mouse?

01:09:33.040 Oh, okay.

01:09:34.040 Central Stone says, if Chile starts firing up the helicopters, I will know.

01:09:39.040 I guess.

01:09:40.040 Well, then live stream it.

01:09:42.040 Huh?

01:09:43.040 They will live stream it.

01:09:44.040 That's what I want to know.

01:09:45.040 Oh, that's fascinating stuff.

01:09:46.040 The internet.

01:09:47.040 I'm sure that things will go viral quite quickly.

01:09:49.040 Back in a minute.

01:09:50.040 All right, sure.

01:09:51.040 Dan's blowing his nose quickly.

01:09:53.040 Yes.

01:09:54.040 And...

01:09:55.040 I don't...

01:09:56.040 Yes, okay.

01:09:57.040 It looks like you're going for a wee in the corner.

01:09:59.040 It did.

01:10:00.040 You were being so, like, sly about it.

01:10:02.040 It's actually going out the room.

01:10:04.040 Uh, sorry.

01:10:05.040 Uh, it says, yes, uh, helicopters, uh, something, uh, helicopters, German towns, Amish, bad example. 1.00

01:10:13.040 Yes, agreed, Central Stone.

01:10:16.040 All right.

01:10:17.040 We'll, uh, have a go through the video comments, Samson.

01:10:20.040 We'll just wait for Dan to come back.

01:10:22.040 Sounds like there's an elephant outside.

01:10:23.040 I'm sure Dan won't want to miss a thing.

01:10:25.040 I saw this and it made me laugh already.

01:10:27.040 Oh, I've not seen this yet, so...

01:10:29.040 This, um, someone edited it, um, on Twitter, and thank you for showing me it again.

01:10:35.040 Mm.

01:10:36.040 Ah, I love it when...

01:10:38.040 Oh, he's on round two.

01:10:40.040 I wish...

01:10:41.040 Sorry, ladies and gentlemen.

01:10:42.040 There appears to be a small baby elephant outside the door.

01:10:45.040 Okay.

01:10:46.040 I can't hear you, Samson.

01:10:47.040 I think we're back in business.

01:10:48.040 All right.

01:10:49.040 Okay.

01:10:50.040 I can't hear you, Samson.

01:10:51.040 I think we're back in business.

01:10:52.040 All right.

01:10:53.040 I think he's talking to Dan.

01:10:54.040 Oh, it's all right.

01:10:55.040 One moment, Joe.

01:10:56.040 He's back in the studio, everyone.

01:10:57.040 We've, uh, we've saved all of the video comments for you, Dan.

01:10:59.040 We didn't want you to miss a thing.

01:11:01.040 It was really cold, and, um, halfway through your segment, my nose blocked up entirely.

01:11:05.040 Mm.

01:11:06.040 And, um, I was then, and you, and you were talking sort of consistently, and I thought,

01:11:10.040 I, I can't breathe unless I, unless I sit there with my mouth open.

01:11:13.040 All right, now it's fine. 0.99

01:11:14.040 And I'll, I'll look like a, I'll look like a moron on the YouTube, just sat there with 1.00

01:11:18.040 my mouth open. 0.99

01:11:19.040 So I kept trying to think, oh, is there something I can say so I can breathe a little bit and

01:11:22.040 get some oxygen back?

01:11:24.040 So anyway, I went out and blew my news, blow my nose, and, uh, Bo comes out of Studio 2 to

01:11:28.040 tell me off, because he's trying to record in there, and all you could hear was his trumpeting

01:11:32.040 noise. 0.99

01:11:33.040 Well shit, it's still on. 1.00

01:11:35.040 We're still alive. 1.00

01:11:36.040 We're still here, Dan.

01:11:38.040 All right, video comments, Samson.

01:11:40.040 So it's, they're always coming up with, no, it's not the.

01:11:44.040 Uneth.

01:11:45.040 No, it's not.

01:11:46.040 Concubi.

01:11:47.040 No, it's not.

01:11:48.040 Mongolia.

01:11:49.040 It's actually really complicated. 0.99

01:11:50.040 No, it fucking isn't at all. 0.98

01:11:52.040 Uneth. 0.99

01:11:53.040 Running society.

01:11:54.040 Concubi. 1.00

01:11:55.040 Need to shut the fuck up. 1.00

01:11:56.040 Mongolia. 1.00

01:11:57.040 Need to be imprisoned for the most part.

01:12:00.040 And we would live in paradise.

01:12:02.040 Under the mandate of heaven.

01:12:04.040 It's literally that simple.

01:12:06.040 I saw this yesterday, and I was chuffed.

01:12:10.040 Yeah.

01:12:11.040 This is actually such a good reading of Chinese history as well.

01:12:14.040 All of Chinese problems are caused by eunuchs, so basically people, dickless people, all 1.00

01:12:20.040 us, women, and the Mongolians. 0.89

01:12:23.040 Like, those three factions caused 90% of the problems.

01:12:27.040 I'm sure there's basically just a variation on this meme for every country.

01:12:32.040 Every single, and you should make them, ladies and gentlemen.

01:12:36.040 It's basically the same thing today, isn't it?

01:12:38.040 At eunuchs. 1.00

01:12:39.040 Next year, 1940s.

01:12:40.040 What now?

01:12:41.040 Um.

01:12:42.040 Okay.

01:12:43.040 Okay.

01:12:44.040 Okay.

01:12:45.040 Rumor.

01:12:46.040 30 seconds isn't great for getting the nuance across.

01:12:48.040 I don't actually blame students for this.

01:12:50.040 There's an obvious drive to keep people in education as long as possible to really hammer

01:12:55.040 in the leftist propaganda, even if that means wasting billions in taxpayer money.

01:12:59.040 Excellent value for them, not really for us.

01:13:02.040 Yeah, I agree.

01:13:03.040 I was very disheartened when I looked at my student loan repayments, and I was just like,

01:13:09.040 I must have taken out a big chunk of it, and I realized I'd just been paying off the interest

01:13:13.040 the whole time.

01:13:14.040 And I was just like, oh God.

01:13:15.040 Right.

01:13:16.040 Just do me in.

01:13:17.040 What?

01:13:18.040 Four years of university as well. 1.00

01:13:19.040 And I even paid a decent amount of it out of my own pocket for some stupid reason. 0.99

01:13:24.040 Um. 0.97

01:13:25.040 And even then, I'm back where I started again.

01:13:29.040 After five years of repayments.

01:13:31.040 That's bloody disheartening.

01:13:33.040 Yeah.

01:13:34.040 Well, rope's cheap these days.

01:13:35.040 Um.

01:13:36.040 Joking, by the way.

01:13:37.040 All right.

01:13:38.040 Next.

01:13:39.040 I can't find many details about Sarah Johnson, which may be for the best.

01:13:44.040 I recommend buying this book if you want to discover the absolute worst way to write.

01:13:48.040 This is not an analysis so much as a fervent call for revolution that browbeats the reader

01:13:53.040 with repetition of its core claims.

01:13:55.040 Wealth is unequally distributed, big business has too much power in politics, and multiple

01:13:59.040 other injustices, all seemingly correct but claimed without evidence, that can only

01:14:04.040 be corrected by a communist uprising.

01:14:07.040 Yes.

01:14:08.040 That is the clarion call of this book.

01:14:11.040 That's just as good a point as when I watched this video comment last week.

01:14:15.040 Yes.

01:14:16.040 I do promise, ladies and gentlemen, there are some sensible Johnsons out there, I assure 1.00

01:14:21.040 you.

01:14:22.040 Right.

01:14:23.040 It's going to get taken out of context.

01:14:31.040 Bro, gang signs as the police.

01:14:33.040 That's really going to enamour you to the public there.

01:14:37.040 Oh, we need people who look like us to police our communities so we can do it all with consent.

01:14:45.040 Or you can just have them on side.

01:14:47.040 I like that argument because I'm just like, well, I need people to look like me, otherwise 1.00

01:14:51.040 I don't consent to your government.

01:14:52.040 So I only want white men and no one else governing this country. 0.91

01:14:57.040 Okay. 0.83

01:14:58.040 If those are your terms, fine.

01:15:00.040 He told me you killed him.

01:15:01.040 Yeah.

01:15:02.040 That's the other thing I wanted to talk to you about.

01:15:03.040 You know, buddy, your father, well, he's on the naughty list.

01:15:17.040 No!

01:15:18.040 No!

01:15:19.040 No!

01:15:20.040 No!

01:15:25.040 That was excellent.

01:15:26.040 Oh, Anakin.

01:15:28.040 Very funny.

01:15:29.040 Two of the written comments, I suppose.

01:15:32.040 All right.

01:15:33.040 We've gone through those.

01:15:34.040 Okay, so from my segment, we've got Henry Ashman says, there needs to be some sort of

01:15:41.040 skin in the game doctrines for MPs and military leaders around conscription.

01:15:46.040 Everyone calling for conscripts should be forced to either serve themselves or provide a young 0.66

01:15:52.040 direct blood relative to serve in their stead.

01:15:55.040 They should all be placed at the front line with no special protections.

01:15:59.040 Let's see how Starmer and co. feel about the idea of war.

01:16:02.040 If it's them or their children facing down the murder drones and missile strikes.

01:16:07.040 Yeah, of course.

01:16:08.040 The thing is, war has never been like that.

01:16:10.040 It's always been the exact opposite.

01:16:12.040 Every war has always been the opposite of that. 0.88

01:16:14.040 Russian Garbage Human says, 1.00

01:16:17.040 Slabs kill enough slabs as it is. 1.00

01:16:19.040 I'm tired of Brother Wars. 0.57

01:16:20.040 Yeah, absolutely we are as well.

01:16:24.040 Ed Miliband harnessing Enoch's spinning grave says,

01:16:28.040 Europe is still not recovered from the slaughter of the Great War.

01:16:31.040 The most moral, principled, and self-sacrificing men were killed first.

01:16:36.040 The best of a whole generation is sacrificed on the altar of what exactly?

01:16:41.040 Yeah, and what's more as well,

01:16:42.040 Well, the thing to remember about the Great War as well is up against the whole total myth and propaganda of, you know, lions led by donkeys.

01:16:52.040 You know, the proportion of aristocrats and just, you know, upper class men who died in World War One was also absolutely vast.

01:17:02.040 The sheer numbers, it was more than I think had been killed since the 15th century.

01:17:07.040 It was a huge number.

01:17:09.040 And so this whole idea of, you know, they just sent in the young to die, sorry, the poor to die.

01:17:14.040 Well, yes, but, you know, they bled alongside us.

01:17:17.040 Uh, Henry Ashwin says,

01:17:19.040 Putin is dragging out the war and putting the cost onto his people.

01:17:23.040 So, we have to do the same on our side, question mark.

01:17:27.040 Uh, yeah, good, good question.

01:17:29.040 Uh, Brian Tomlinson says,

01:17:31.040 Those brave European leaders antagonizing Russia won't look so happy when the first bomb drops on our capital cities.

01:17:37.040 Uh, yeah. 0.98

01:17:39.040 Uh, Russian Garbage Human says, 0.99

01:17:41.040 I want the migrant invasion reframed as a Russian invasion as they are undocumented. 1.00

01:17:47.040 Uh, they could be Russian soldiers.

01:17:49.040 Uh, maybe then they'll do something.

01:17:51.040 Yeah, maybe.

01:17:52.040 I mean, Russia does have a large Muslim population.

01:17:56.040 I mean, who's to know?

01:17:58.040 And, uh, Derek Power, master of chippies said,

01:18:01.040 Said it before and we'll say it again.

01:18:03.040 Having someone die for another country is no different than subscribing to an OnlyFans account.

01:18:09.040 Yeah.

01:18:10.040 And on, uh, conscript our young men.

01:18:12.040 Oh, I like this. I can breathe now.

01:18:14.040 Um, uh, Ed Miliband harnessing Enoch spinning grave says,

01:18:19.040 A tip for young men and women who don't want to be conscripted.

01:18:22.040 Go to your local recruitment center and say you want to join up.

01:18:25.040 When they take you to interview and ask why,

01:18:27.040 give the most heinous answer you possibly can.

01:18:30.040 For example, I want to be sent to the Middle East and, insert, fed post. 0.65

01:18:35.040 You will be blacklisted from then on.

01:18:37.040 Um, yes.

01:18:38.040 I don't think so.

01:18:39.040 I think all the more reason to get him rid of.

01:18:42.040 Uh, yes, possibly.

01:18:44.040 Oh, my, my, my reference to Istvan 3.

01:18:46.040 I should explain that briefly.

01:18:47.040 Oh yes.

01:18:48.040 Go on then.

01:18:49.040 So, so in, in, in 40k law, the Imperial legions are getting ready to rebel against the Empire.

01:18:55.040 And within their own ranks, they have loyalists that aren't going to go along with the rebellion.

01:19:00.040 So they dispatch them all on this basically suicide battle and then sort of airstrike them as well, just to make sure they basically kill off their own troops.

01:19:07.040 And that's the thing I'm thinking is like, I don't want to say it too overtly because people might think, oh, you're stretching there, Dan.

01:19:13.040 They know everything about us.

01:19:15.040 They know which of us got vaxxed and they know which of us, you know, what we say online.

01:19:19.040 Is it really a stretch to think that they take all the base lads and they put them in the, in the drone corridor or whatever it is to take them out?

01:19:28.040 Like minority report, they know before they even do anything. 1.00

01:19:32.040 Well, there, there are lots of examples throughout history of problem units being put on in the sort of meat grinder sections of combat.

01:19:39.040 So it would make strategic sense for them to do that sort of thing.

01:19:43.040 Like if they're not necessarily ineffective, but if, if you're good at fighting, but also a problem, then it's the perfect situation for them.

01:19:55.040 Sophie Liff says, there were people who didn't want to fight for their own countries.

01:19:59.040 What delusion made people think they would fight for ours?

01:20:02.040 Yeah. And I mean, yeah, she's talking about the, the new Britons who, who clearly don't want to fight.

01:20:07.040 To be clear, I would fight for my country, but that's not an offer.

01:20:10.040 No.

01:20:11.040 I'm being told that, you know, we need to go and fight.

01:20:13.040 Well, our young boys need to go.

01:20:14.040 Well, you two, basically, you, you need to go and fight for the globalists order.

01:20:18.040 Yeah. Being, being told to go and fight for your country by people who don't believe in countries.

01:20:23.040 Yeah.

01:20:24.040 As ideas.

01:20:25.040 I mean, fighting for our country would not involve us leaving the country.

01:20:28.040 Hmm.

01:20:29.040 Ed Miliband harnessing Enoch's spinning grave says,

01:20:35.040 I honestly think Orwell's explanation for perpetual war in 1984 is accurate.

01:20:40.040 The bloodshed and waste is the point.

01:20:42.040 The masses cannot be allowed to rise above their stations.

01:20:45.040 The grass must be mowed when they pose a threat to the elite surplus wealth also poses a threat,

01:20:50.040 which is why they keep us impoverished through taxes, immigration, foreign aid conflict, and the NHS.

01:20:56.040 Yes.

01:20:57.040 Fuzzy Toaster says, no, they won't conscript us.

01:21:01.040 They risk us becoming armed on mass.

01:21:04.040 I mean, there was another reading of what's going on at the moment is that the defense budgets have been cut so to the bone that they can't fund their existing resources.

01:21:14.040 So they drum up talk like this every now and again to try and get a little bit more budget squeezed out.

01:21:18.040 And it's actually just regime talking to regime.

01:21:20.040 But I think you have to take them at their word when they're trying to say they're trying to kill a million of us.

01:21:25.040 Well, when it's European wide, I think that is a sort of point against that because normally that is the case that they're trying to drum up more funding.

01:21:35.040 But the entirety of Europe doing it at the same time, they're not all just, you know, coincidentally, spontaneously doing this.

01:21:44.040 There's going to be some degree of coordination.

01:21:48.040 I always have trouble with his name.

01:21:50.040 Is it Dribelbis? 0.98

01:21:51.040 Michael Dribelbis?

01:21:52.040 That's how I've been saying it.

01:21:53.040 For months, I was saying Dribelbis, but that can't be right.

01:21:56.040 That's not right, no.

01:21:57.040 I think you're much closer.

01:21:59.040 Seems like the one video shows all the people who should be deported now hate Britain, get the F out.

01:22:05.040 Yeah.

01:22:06.040 I mean, the one potential upside from it is if it looks like it actually is coming, maybe they will all leave.

01:22:11.040 I'm sure they would.

01:22:12.040 Well, yeah.

01:22:13.040 And as soon as we've done the fighting, they'll come right back.

01:22:15.040 Well, yes.

01:22:16.040 Well, as soon as they start to realize that the ones that stayed are not getting drafted, they'll be like, oh, yeah, it's all right.

01:22:22.040 Yeah, it's just the problem people they want to get rid of, as usual.

01:22:26.040 Jumbo G says a war would suddenly solve the housing crisis and pensions and corrupt globalist politicians facing justice.

01:22:35.040 I mean, actually, if it would make the pension crisis far, far worse, because you'd just end up with even fewer young people working.

01:22:41.040 You know, that diagram of Nick 30 and he's supporting everybody.

01:22:46.040 I mean, there'd just be fewer Nicks.

01:22:48.040 We need a sort of dad's army situation.

01:22:50.040 Just get all the old codgers out and not necessarily on the front lines, but, you know, just involved. 0.97

01:22:57.040 I know you are.

01:22:59.040 Colin P says, and of course, a war in Europe will somehow mean an increased number of non-European migrants across the channel.

01:23:07.040 Yeah, that will go nuts this whole time.

01:23:10.040 And Baron Von Warhawk says, we cannot afford a castle or a horse. 0.99

01:23:15.040 A princess is a lesbian girlboss. 1.00

01:23:17.040 The king has turned his back on his people. 0.99

01:23:20.040 The dukes have taken away our swords. 0.89

01:23:21.040 The show is filled with brigands and barbarians. 0.97

01:23:24.040 Why would we fight the Russian dragon, then?

01:23:27.040 Indeed.

01:23:29.040 Right.

01:23:30.040 Okay.

01:23:31.040 Dreadnought Logan says he sounds like your typical man from Bavaria pre-Monden Germany, or is that modern?

01:23:40.040 I think he should say modern.

01:23:42.040 Okay.

01:23:43.040 Yeah.

01:23:44.040 It is quite amusing, isn't it?

01:23:46.040 Dirty Belter. 1.00

01:23:47.040 Dan, if you want a laugh regarding Brazil, look up the Confederados.

01:23:51.040 And we've got-

01:23:53.040 Yeah, just look at doing it new.

01:23:55.040 Yeah, I'll just-

01:23:56.040 The honourable mention is, have you seen the trailer for the new Animal Farm film, Seth Rogen playing a comedy Napoleon?

01:24:03.040 I did see it, and it was one of the worst pieces of media I think I've ever seen in a trailer.

01:24:07.040 It's got such contempt for its original material.

01:24:10.040 It's, you know, I've got nothing against America, but it's heavily Americanised. 1.00

01:24:16.040 It's sort of got that-

01:24:18.040 It's not even necessarily all of American culture, an aspect of it that seems very alien to me as a Brit.

01:24:24.040 The sort of Pixar Disney-isation of, it doesn't take itself too seriously.

01:24:30.040 It's got silly, child-friendly jokes in it everywhere.

01:24:34.040 And it's, you know, Animal Farm's meant to be a lesson about Stalinism. 0.99

01:24:39.040 And if you cheapen it to the point where you've got Seth Rogen making jokes about having a fat pig arse, it sort of undermines the tone of the entire novel, doesn't it? 0.97

01:24:51.040 Because it's meant to be scary and totalitarian. 0.98

01:24:55.040 And also in the trailer, the pigs are like working with the humans, which I don't think they're taking a secretly based arc there.

01:25:03.040 They're trying to basically say this is evil capitalism, humans bad, animals good, you know, be vegetarian and hate capitalism.

01:25:14.040 That's what I got from the trailer.

01:25:15.040 It could be a misrepresentation because there are some interesting names involved.

01:25:20.040 But and also suppose that it comes from a studio that made some some based films.

01:25:26.040 So interesting, I am.

01:25:28.040 Well, as far as I was concerned, it just didn't need a remake because that original 19 was a 54 film, the the animated 2D one is just definitive.

01:25:39.040 I remember having that on VHS as a kid.

01:25:41.040 And, you know, I mean, very young, too young to understand the Russian Revolution or communism or anything, but just being absolutely engrossed in it, you know, for the emotional weight of the story and everything.

01:25:54.040 And so maybe that was the beginning of my based arc watching Animal Farm at the age of five.

01:26:00.040 That's how it all started.

01:26:01.040 So apparently the Confederados, after the American Civil War, a whole bunch of Confederates escaped to South America and they set up, just like the Germans did, little Confederate towns.

01:26:12.040 OK.

01:26:13.040 Where they where they kind of do, you know, Civil War reenactments, except, of course, the South winds and stuff like that.

01:26:19.040 And they dress up in best side finally winds.

01:26:21.040 Yeah, I know.

01:26:22.040 This is fascinating.

01:26:23.040 I mean, are we when the online harms bill really ratchets up?

01:26:28.040 I mean, are we going to have to create a Lotus Eaters town in Argentina and just do the podcast every day?

01:26:33.040 Welcome to the town of the Lotus Eaters. 0.98

01:26:35.040 I don't.

01:26:36.040 I feel like as Brits going to Argentina is not very canon, is it?

01:26:40.040 Just go to the West Falklands.

01:26:42.040 I'd rather go to Chile, you know, nice wine, cool uniforms, mountain air.

01:26:48.040 You know, we're actually turning up.

01:26:50.040 Yeah.

01:26:51.040 Close to the sea as well.

01:26:52.040 We can get our, you know.

01:26:54.040 Have we had some additional comments come through?

01:26:56.040 We have.

01:26:57.040 Yes.

01:26:58.040 Cranky Texans says they don't want us fighting for our countries.

01:27:01.040 They want us to die to pave the way for what's next.

01:27:05.040 That is true.

01:27:06.040 The thing is as well, obviously, you know, you can see so far, you can see all of the pieces being put in place and the path that they're trying to lay out before us.

01:27:17.040 But when it does get into total, a state of actual war, so much of that just becomes, you don't know what's going to happen one day or the next or what can change a week to a month.

01:27:27.040 You know, all of these known quantities become totally unknown variables.

01:27:32.040 You know, what if there is some sort of Napoleon, like, you know, adventure where all of a sudden some, you know, dashing brigand in the British army actually ends up being a bit of a leader and then marches the army back to Britain, Napoleon style.

01:27:49.040 I mean, yeah, I'm just fantasizing at this point, but they it's they've no idea what's going to happen.

01:27:55.040 And what's more as well, they've proved time and time again that they're of a far lesser caliber of statesmen that we even had.

01:28:04.040 I mean, I was going to go say World War Two, but even the Bully thought that the Falklands war.

01:28:09.040 I mean, they're lower quality than the 1970s Labour government, let alone, let alone them.

01:28:15.040 Well, even by the 70s, you know, 60s and 70s, a lot of those, you know, like Harold McMillan in the late 50s, early 60s, he was a World War One veteran.

01:28:24.040 You know, he's prime minister, but he'd actually seen conflict.

01:28:27.040 He'd bled out in on the battlefields of World War One.

01:28:31.040 You know, we just don't have that anymore.

01:28:33.040 I'm not saying you have to be a soldier to be a politician.

01:28:37.040 But what I am saying is that they are entirely detached from what it will mean.

01:28:42.040 One thing people don't necessarily realize is that being a politician in this day and age is actually lower status than it used to be.

01:28:49.040 And there are lots of other things in the economy that are higher status that are upstream of politics.

01:28:55.040 You know, the people that actually earn the money that elect the politicians.

01:28:59.040 If you're an elite that actually wants influence, it's better to be one of them than one of the lackeys that do your bidding.

01:29:05.040 So most of the people who are very highly competent don't go into politics because why would they? 0.99

01:29:11.040 It was someone else's bitch, basically. 1.00

01:29:14.040 Yeah, start a business and then get taxed to death on that business by the politicians. 0.99

01:29:19.040 You do some creative accounting and base it in other countries and operate transnationally.

01:29:24.040 Then you're on to something.

01:29:26.040 Aye.

01:29:27.040 Anyway, well, that's all we've got time for today, ladies and gentlemen.

01:29:30.040 We hope that you've enjoyed the show coming into the last week now before breaking up for Christmas.

01:29:35.040 And that's all going to be good fun.

01:29:38.040 So enjoy the rest of your day and we look forward to seeing you at 1pm tomorrow.

01:29:43.040 Until then.
