The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters #1326

00:00:00.800 Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the podcast of the Low Seaters for Tuesday, the 6th of January, 2026.

00:00:07.420 Look at that, I got that right. I'm joined by Josh and Harry, and today we're going to be talking about the new containment method

00:00:13.260 of making sure that nothing is ever about us and it's always about someone else,

00:00:18.140 the return of the neocons, and the death of the socialist dream.

00:00:22.020 Just because nobody else seems to remember what day it is as well, I'd like to wish everybody a happy fifth anniversary

00:00:26.940 to the attempted overthrow of democracy.

00:00:30.000 We were almost there, boys.

00:00:33.180 Also, Happy New Year. I've not said that either.

00:00:36.820 Is that too? Right, so without further ado, let's crack on.

00:00:41.900 So I'm going to be talking about the new containment method.

00:00:44.940 Well, it's not that new, but it's new-ish for Britain, and it starts with this tweet from Keir Starmer.

00:00:51.800 I'm delighted that Allah Abd El-Fattah is back in the UK and has been reunited with his loved ones

00:00:57.820 who must be feeling profound relief.

00:01:00.000 I want to pay tribute to Allah's family and to those who have worked and campaigned for this moment.

00:01:06.120 Allah's case has been top priority for my government since we came to office.

00:01:10.260 I'm grateful to President Sisi for his decision to grant the pardon.

00:01:14.260 His name's literally Allah.

00:01:15.880 I know.

00:01:16.260 In light of the revelatory tweets that came out, this is genuinely funny.

00:01:21.240 I know.

00:01:21.700 And we will be looking at those.

00:01:23.060 It's like the sort of thing that David Brent would tweet.

00:01:25.620 It's something from The Office.

00:01:27.260 It's sort of hilarious that he put it in such flowery and pleasant...

00:01:31.920 Gervais-occupied government.

00:01:33.320 Yeah, it's kind of, isn't it, right?

00:01:35.020 Drauled by the gog.

00:01:35.960 Like, it's such an unvarnished good.

00:01:38.780 And then just scratched beneath the surface, and it's profound.

00:01:43.600 And, yeah, just profound.

00:01:46.060 Like, you just couldn't get any more crystal clear.

00:01:49.660 So, this is...

00:01:51.440 Ethn hate white people.

00:01:52.720 They don't understand sharing or community.

00:01:55.560 A blight on the earth they are.

00:01:57.180 Good thing they stopped breeding.

00:01:58.640 Tell us how you really feel.

00:02:00.540 Cheers for that.

00:02:01.220 I'm glad you're a British citizen now.

00:02:03.720 That's wonderful.

00:02:04.880 Top priority for Keir Starmer.

00:02:06.800 I know.

00:02:07.160 They have such shared interests.

00:02:10.020 Yeah, I saw that as well.

00:02:11.500 It's just sad at this point, then.

00:02:13.600 Didn't Brock confirm it?

00:02:15.360 Um, I don't look to AIs for my personal validation.

00:02:20.520 If Grok had said, yeah, no, I'm the most based, that would have been fine.

00:02:23.240 No, I still wouldn't.

00:02:24.020 I wouldn't accept it.

00:02:25.140 Grok, you're not a real person.

00:02:26.860 If you're the most based, you don't flaunt your power level.

00:02:29.520 You keep it quiet.

00:02:31.020 Subtle.

00:02:32.080 So, here's another one.

00:02:34.220 Once again, proves that humanity will not be redeemed until we commit mass death.

00:02:39.620 I don't know whether YouTube likes that word.

00:02:41.440 Genocide, I guess.

00:02:42.300 The big murder.

00:02:43.300 The big murder against all white people.

00:02:46.020 Thanks, YouTube, for making us sound like cavemen.

00:02:48.680 And he puts, some of my best friends are white.

00:02:51.960 That's kind of funny.

00:02:53.260 That's kind of funny.

00:02:54.660 I can't lie.

00:02:54.900 But at least he's showing his bonafide credentials as a proper libtard, though, right?

00:02:59.320 It's like, yeah, I hate all white people.

00:03:00.680 Some of my best friends are white.

00:03:02.000 It's like, okay, yeah.

00:03:02.500 If he was a woman, he'd probably be married to a white man.

00:03:05.700 Exactly.

00:03:06.460 Exactly.

00:03:06.940 And then this.

00:03:09.320 Oh, I only hate whites with a smiley face.

00:03:12.280 And then...

00:03:12.760 Well, that's not true.

00:03:14.100 We know you hate loads of other people that you associate with whites.

00:03:17.760 Don't worry.

00:03:18.600 We were only discussing how we'll take over your town and sexually assault your women.

00:03:23.340 Us terrorists tend to do that.

00:03:24.540 That does sound a little bit...

00:03:25.700 He's obviously joking here, but I'm feeling like he's Egyptian vorsch.

00:03:31.700 It sounds a little bit like that.

00:03:32.740 You know, he's like an edgelord, but a lefty edgelord online.

00:03:35.600 Mm-hmm.

00:03:36.660 But it's not someone who should be a priority.

00:03:39.520 No kidding.

00:03:40.340 And here's some more just to...

00:03:43.380 Well, we've already seen that one.

00:03:45.980 Just to really hammer it home.

00:03:48.120 Dear international PhD student, by the way, I'm a racist.

00:03:51.600 I don't like white people, so kiss off.

00:03:53.940 I just like, kiss off the street.

00:03:55.040 Top priority for the government quotes.

00:03:57.480 By the way, I'm a racist.

00:03:59.100 I'm getting the same energy from this as...

00:04:02.000 And I'm not making any inferences from this as AA's tweets when he's obviously really grumpy

00:04:07.780 and trying to annoy everybody.

00:04:09.440 Couldn't get the flat white at the coffee shop.

00:04:11.300 Yeah.

00:04:12.460 He's trying to antagonize, obviously.

00:04:14.720 But I imagine that the underlying hostility and...

00:04:19.100 There's a streak of truth behind all of this.

00:04:21.020 Yeah.

00:04:21.120 He's exaggerating it, but still.

00:04:23.140 And here he's saying, random shooting of white males should convince them that racism costs lives.

00:04:29.800 Which is an interesting thing to say.

00:04:32.860 And lots of people were saying, oh, we've let this crazy Islamist in.

00:04:36.280 And I don't think that's the entirety of it.

00:04:38.460 And I'll show you why I think that in a minute.

00:04:40.500 He's a leftist.

00:04:41.840 Yes.

00:04:42.100 We'll be getting to that.

00:04:42.840 Sorry.

00:04:43.040 And then he's saying, here he's talking about killing police.

00:04:49.400 Not the nicest fellow.

00:04:51.720 And then another narrative was this one where he's talking about Zionists and how he doesn't like them and wants them dead.

00:05:00.360 And I wonder which one the mainstream media is going to pick up.

00:05:03.140 I can't help but notice that he seems to be less aggressive against the Zionists.

00:05:07.460 Like, there was one of his tweets where he's like, I hope Iran makes a nuclear bomb and then bombs all the white people.

00:05:12.360 It's like, you could have said the Zionists.

00:05:14.020 I mean, he is saying there he's advocating the killing of all Zionists, including civilians.

00:05:18.200 So, F off.

00:05:19.200 I guess, yeah.

00:05:20.020 So, it seems even-handed to me.

00:05:22.240 Okay, fair enough.

00:05:23.120 At least he's not a hypocrite.

00:05:25.480 Yeah, he hates everybody equally.

00:05:28.960 Yeah, he's talking about rejoicing while U.S. soldiers are killed.

00:05:32.960 You get the idea.

00:05:33.860 He's not a nice person.

00:05:35.620 And I think Kuni Drukpa did the best summary here of his case.

00:05:39.840 A legitimate mental extremist who hates white people.

00:05:43.140 He provocatively mouthed off about Egyptian leaders with threats of violence.

00:05:46.600 And then he was put in prison multiple times because, believe it or not, threats of violence do get you arrested.

00:05:53.200 Even in Egypt.

00:05:54.060 Even in Egypt.

00:05:55.620 He's never been to Britain, but applied for citizenship in prison.

00:05:59.060 This was in 2021.

00:06:00.820 And then they give him citizenship and airlift him over and argue for his release.

00:06:08.380 And I thought this was a little bit strange, even for the Starmer government, which I have very low opinions of, obviously.

00:06:16.240 We found the man who hates white people the most in all of the world.

00:06:20.060 British citizenship, get him out of here.

00:06:22.380 Thanks, Starmer.

00:06:23.240 Normally, he's a little bit more subtle.

00:06:26.120 I know that the Southport riots was a little bit of a mask-off moment.

00:06:29.320 That was the first thing he did.

00:06:31.380 And the mask hadn't even gone off.

00:06:33.000 30 million to the mosques.

00:06:34.480 It's like, what?

00:06:34.900 But anyway, I was reading this Guardian article and then all of a sudden it clicked.

00:06:41.140 I can't remember where it is in this article.

00:06:43.300 Can we go back down?

00:06:44.340 That's the moot.

00:06:45.040 So he's a soy jack?

00:06:46.060 I was about to say, he looks so soy.

00:06:48.060 He's an Egyptian soy jack.

00:06:49.000 That's what Starmer saw in him.

00:06:51.560 But somewhere around here, it goes on writing some sort of, aha, found it.

00:06:57.940 Al-Fattah is from a family of human rights activists, became a leading voice during the Arab Spring.

00:07:02.880 He has a direct, perceptive, non-sectarian writing style that has won him awards.

00:07:09.680 And all of us, and as a bonus, by the way.

00:07:11.840 So he's a plant?

00:07:12.760 Yeah, but I love it, non-sectarian.

00:07:14.380 What?

00:07:14.480 I want everyone dead.

00:07:15.820 I also was amused by the fact that it said, he has a teenage son, Khaled, who lives in Brighton and attends a special education needs school.

00:07:23.800 I was like, oh, great.

00:07:24.780 So we've already got a dependent.

00:07:26.740 Yeah, we've got a tax sink already attached to him in the country.

00:07:31.660 But this encouraged me to do a little bit of digging.

00:07:34.760 And I was able to find that his father was a human rights lawyer.

00:07:38.680 And he met his mother while leading an underground communist student cell calling for revolution.

00:07:44.500 Oh, come on.

00:07:45.680 This is comically.

00:07:46.740 No wonder the Blairites want him in.

00:07:49.040 But you couldn't write this, right?

00:07:50.400 If you wrote that, you'd be like, yeah, that's not really very realistic.

00:07:53.060 No one has that kind of life.

00:07:54.280 So lots of people online, lots of right-wingers were saying, we can't have this guy.

00:07:58.360 He's a dangerous Islamist.

00:07:59.820 And I'm like, actually, no, that's not the vector of extremism.

00:08:02.740 He is a libtard.

00:08:05.080 That's what he is.

00:08:06.040 A communist.

00:08:06.900 Yeah.

00:08:08.160 And that's why they want him.

00:08:10.000 Because he's part of the liberal international order.

00:08:14.060 He lives in Egypt where it's not that popular.

00:08:16.520 He's an insider.

00:08:18.360 From a family of human rights activists, was a leading voice during the Arab Spring.

00:08:23.020 So he was probably getting, he was probably attached to intelligence services.

00:08:26.380 Well, I don't think he was.

00:08:27.660 Because you'd think someone who's sort of trained or attached to intelligence services would be more circumspect.

00:08:33.800 They'd show a bit more intelligence, perhaps, as well.

00:08:35.540 They possibly wouldn't be quite so brazen about the hatred of the country that they're getting aid from, right?

00:08:42.200 Wouldn't necessarily say so.

00:08:43.240 Maybe not necessarily, but I would thought that probably is the case.

00:08:47.460 But I actually think he falls into the category of foreign liberal that the regime in the early 2000s, they loved picking their foreign liberals.

00:08:55.220 They'd be like, no, the West is correct because it's universal human rights and liberalism.

00:08:59.020 And therefore, my evil benighted country is awful and I need to go and seek sanctuary there.

00:09:04.480 You've got like the Iron Hercings and stuff like that.

00:09:07.140 That category, they love them.

00:09:09.040 I imagine there was something like that, but whether he knew it or not, I wouldn't be surprised if there were back channels being used to get money to him.

00:09:15.480 That's how a lot of these services work.

00:09:17.920 Maybe.

00:09:18.300 I'm certainly not saying that they wouldn't have done.

00:09:20.400 But the reason all the politicians came out and universally were like, oh, this guy's such a hero, it's just because he was a libtard from a foreign country.

00:09:27.820 And they were like, oh, brilliant.

00:09:28.680 He demonstrates that libtardism is good.

00:09:31.460 And then they look at him and they go, he even looks like me.

00:09:34.900 He's one of us.

00:09:35.720 Yeah.

00:09:36.200 No, no, that's literally it.

00:09:37.740 I hate to say it.

00:09:39.180 And it's worth mentioning, we have been sort of raking Keir Starmer over the coals.

00:09:43.740 However, as reform rightfully points out here, this man was granted British citizenship in 2021.

00:09:50.400 By Boris Johnson's government and also Liz Truss and James Clovely, both personally intervened on his case.

00:09:56.980 I love the never trust the Tory, except for the defectors we've taken in.

00:10:01.280 Except for Nadine Doris.

00:10:02.760 Given that she has a new show and has been associated with our website, I'm going to be fair.

00:10:08.280 Has Liz Truss said anything about this since this came out?

00:10:13.720 I don't know, actually.

00:10:14.680 I don't know either.

00:10:15.520 I didn't look it up.

00:10:17.100 I still condemn her for it entirely.

00:10:18.960 But I want to know if she's said anything to walk it back a little bit at the least.

00:10:24.740 She may well have done it.

00:10:25.320 She could sort of do the Nuremberg defense of she was just following orders from Boris and I would accept that.

00:10:30.100 Well, how did that work out in Nuremberg?

00:10:32.140 I know, but I'm more forgiving.

00:10:34.780 Anyway, here is Max Tempest saying...

00:10:38.560 Oh, Liz Truss has said that he shouldn't be allowed here.

00:10:41.020 Well...

00:10:41.620 So she has walked that back.

00:10:44.100 That's good to know.

00:10:45.080 Remember, Liz Truss used to be a libtard as well.

00:10:47.700 A lot of us did.

00:10:48.940 To be honest.

00:10:49.660 Well, I wasn't a libtard.

00:10:50.380 I was going to say, you'd have never...

00:10:51.540 No, no, I would never have.

00:10:52.440 ...wanted him in the country.

00:10:53.780 No.

00:10:54.280 But, like, a lot of us were liberals and...

00:10:56.200 There are degrees of libtardation.

00:10:58.180 There are.

00:10:58.920 But Liz Truss used to be in the Lib Dems.

00:11:01.420 But she's come a long way, I think.

00:11:03.100 There is a cure.

00:11:03.960 Yeah.

00:11:04.580 So...

00:11:05.060 There is.

00:11:07.460 Max Tempest here rightfully points out that he'd had the case...

00:11:11.840 Sorry, before we go on, I've actually got a quote from Liz here.

00:11:14.700 She says,

00:11:15.020 The El Fato case shows the way the human rights NGO industrial complex has completely captured the British state.

00:11:19.560 The failure of conservative government was to not repeal the laws and replace the bureaucrats on day one.

00:11:24.300 Sorry, has Curtis Yarvin on her show?

00:11:26.940 Yeah.

00:11:27.260 One time, and she's already talking like that.

00:11:29.640 No, but...

00:11:30.360 Hey, we applaud it.

00:11:32.300 Fair point.

00:11:33.020 In this house, we applaud people advocating for the destruction of the NGO complex.

00:11:37.520 Carry on.

00:11:38.220 So, an amusing thing is that he retweeted someone who was having a go at Starmer for thanking the Egyptian president.

00:11:47.840 After Starmer had intervened for his release from prison.

00:11:52.540 That's great.

00:11:52.960 So, even though he's had all of this effort made for him, he's still ungrateful and happy to criticise him.

00:12:01.900 I'd like to invoke intersectionality here.

00:12:03.960 Starmer is at once a white person and a Zionist.

00:12:07.180 So, he is doubly hated by this chap.

00:12:09.780 True.

00:12:10.140 So, let's pivot to the mainstream media headlines because we saw this guy's tweets.

00:12:16.440 They're all pretty anti-white, weren't they?

00:12:18.520 I think that would be the headline in a free press, wouldn't it?

00:12:22.040 Hang on a minute.

00:12:22.780 We've taken a person who hates British people into Britain.

00:12:25.640 That's the last thing we wanted.

00:12:26.980 Oh, wait.

00:12:27.300 No, it's not.

00:12:27.640 But, here are the headlines.

00:12:32.380 They're either just talking about him being criticised.

00:12:36.120 And Sky News.

00:12:37.200 In a very vague way.

00:12:38.980 The Telegraph says extremist.

00:12:43.280 The Times here saying killing Zionists is...

00:12:45.880 That's not them saying.

00:12:46.880 It's the headline about what he's saying.

00:12:48.820 Killing Zionists is okay.

00:12:50.960 Are you sure this isn't masked off for the Times?

00:12:54.140 I wanted to be clear.

00:12:55.500 Please don't sue me.

00:12:56.260 That's what he is, is acutely being said.

00:12:58.660 Jeremy Corbyn gains control of the Times.

00:13:01.580 But, this is what they're going with.

00:13:04.600 They didn't talk about the fact that he clearly has some animosity towards white people who flew in and saved him from his own government.

00:13:12.600 Although, he probably wouldn't claim that it was his government.

00:13:14.880 But, still.

00:13:15.500 His own country.

00:13:17.480 And, there is much more of this.

00:13:20.840 BBC talked about it.

00:13:23.160 Only talks about him hating Zionists.

00:13:26.260 All the stuff about killing white people.

00:13:28.500 Not mentioned.

00:13:29.400 It's funny that, isn't it?

00:13:30.940 And then, here's Jenrick writing about it.

00:13:36.360 I saw you, Jack.

00:13:38.100 But, I retweeted Jenrick.

00:13:40.040 I was like, this isn't acceptable.

00:13:41.400 He hates white people.

00:13:42.320 You didn't mention it.

00:13:43.040 It's not acceptable.

00:13:43.600 And then, he started changing his tunes.

00:13:44.740 But, like, oh, he hates Jews and white people.

00:13:46.620 Yeah.

00:13:47.280 He then followed up with this.

00:13:50.000 He talks about his anti-white racism and hatred of British people.

00:13:54.160 But, this did come after that article was written.

00:13:57.520 After my tweet.

00:13:58.700 Cast the game.

00:13:59.740 I hope that it was because of you, Carl.

00:14:01.880 Yeah, me too.

00:14:02.260 That you changed this tune.

00:14:03.860 But, it's interesting.

00:14:05.180 And, of course, Richard Tice as well.

00:14:07.320 Truly appalling.

00:14:08.920 We've brought into the UK a racist anti-Semite.

00:14:12.360 What are those non-racist anti-Semites?

00:14:14.080 What are we saying?

00:14:15.260 And, he doesn't mention the anti-British.

00:14:18.880 Presumably, Tyson called himself.

00:14:20.780 He did, yeah.

00:14:21.460 Yeah, he actually did mention that, which was surprising.

00:14:24.400 Secondarily to the anti-Semitic bit.

00:14:26.100 I think Farage tends to be a little bit more tepid on calling out anti-Semitism.

00:14:31.020 Especially considering his recent revelations with his school days going,

00:14:34.420 One Jewish kid in his year.

00:14:36.340 Yeah, I feel like it's a little bit of a, perhaps not an optical good idea.

00:14:41.440 Yeah, yeah.

00:14:42.240 Reform plus three in the polls.

00:14:45.600 Seriously, he's got a sense of humour.

00:14:48.180 So, Farage did write a letter urging, to the Home Secretary,

00:14:52.860 urging to rescind his citizenship, which I think is a good idea.

00:14:56.640 Now, just do it to many, many other people.

00:14:58.580 It is setting a precedent that you can rescind people's citizenship

00:15:02.340 when it's legally granted to them.

00:15:04.400 This is good.

00:15:06.340 Although, obviously, it needs to go much further than that.

00:15:09.300 And he also referred him to counter-terrorism police.

00:15:11.980 Although, I feel like, given that he is a libtard,

00:15:15.980 I don't think he's actually that much of a terror threat.

00:15:18.440 It's just annoying that he's here.

00:15:20.140 Yeah.

00:15:21.020 I mean, to be honest with you,

00:15:22.860 can any of us say that in, like, five years' time,

00:15:24.880 after having lived in this country,

00:15:27.040 he won't do something crazy?

00:15:28.400 Living in Britain is the real radicalisation.

00:15:31.440 Well, that happens to a lot of them.

00:15:32.380 That's the point, though,

00:15:33.480 because a lot of these people are on a short fuse.

00:15:36.640 Yeah.

00:15:36.920 Something can set these people off.

00:15:38.800 Yep.

00:15:39.660 And then we've got a Conservative MP here

00:15:42.320 who campaigned for his release

00:15:43.900 and then didn't realise that he was a terrible anti-Semite.

00:15:47.860 I didn't realise.

00:15:50.780 I'm trying not to laugh.

00:15:52.220 But it really is that meme, isn't it?

00:15:53.620 Oh, we accidentally campaigned for a racist anti-Semite

00:15:56.840 to come into the country by mistake.

00:15:58.480 I accidentally ran to wins.

00:16:00.960 I accidentally let this maniac in.

00:16:03.940 But my point here is that

00:16:05.800 by making it all about anti-Semitism

00:16:07.940 and that sort of thing,

00:16:10.360 that overlooking the thing that is of more concern

00:16:13.160 to a larger portion of the population,

00:16:15.720 which, believe it or not,

00:16:17.080 the white British is still the majority

00:16:19.000 of the population in this country.

00:16:20.920 And I think it's of concern to us

00:16:22.900 that both the Conservatives and Labour

00:16:25.780 have campaigned to let in someone

00:16:27.400 who has tweeted, however serious or not,

00:16:30.660 that he wants us dead.

00:16:32.820 I feel like that's not the kind of person

00:16:34.520 we should let in, joking or not,

00:16:36.420 because it does seem like there's some sort of hostility there.

00:16:39.300 And he's sort of tweeting it.

00:16:40.800 It sort of reminded me of like an American Democrat

00:16:43.100 or something like that,

00:16:44.520 where there's obviously resentment there.

00:16:47.200 But also, he's just not our business.

00:16:49.000 You know, the Conservative Party gave him citizenship

00:16:51.680 in like 2021.

00:16:53.140 And it's like, what are you doing?

00:16:54.500 And also, if there is to be a precedent set here,

00:16:57.260 as you're suggesting,

00:16:58.220 I would much rather the precedent be set

00:17:00.040 specifically for anti-white value.

00:17:02.720 That's exactly it.

00:17:03.920 Rather than anything else,

00:17:05.320 simply because it, frankly,

00:17:07.100 applies to a much larger population

00:17:09.120 of the people who shouldn't be here.

00:17:10.800 And it's our country.

00:17:12.820 And it is our country.

00:17:13.680 It's not to say that Jewish people

00:17:15.720 shouldn't be upset at this or anything like that.

00:17:17.640 I could understand why they would be.

00:17:19.600 But pandering to a small minority of people

00:17:22.340 in Britain when he's got the most examples

00:17:25.900 of hating, you know, white people

00:17:28.220 in a white British country

00:17:30.160 is really weird.

00:17:32.200 Well, it's not that weird.

00:17:33.400 I understand why they're doing it.

00:17:34.460 They don't want to lend credence to the notion

00:17:36.060 that there are people out there

00:17:37.080 that hate white people

00:17:38.080 and we're allowing them in the country

00:17:39.500 because it undermines immigration, right?

00:17:41.520 Oh, completely.

00:17:42.200 But I have to say,

00:17:43.140 it is very funny

00:17:44.140 just how hateful this guy is.

00:17:46.280 Like, normally when you find someone

00:17:47.580 who's like,

00:17:48.020 I'm racist against X,

00:17:49.580 they're not like,

00:17:50.240 every single one of them

00:17:51.200 ever needs to be killed

00:17:52.140 repeatedly posting that.

00:17:54.020 That's actually,

00:17:55.020 I mean, especially in like 2007, 2012 Twitter.

00:17:58.460 This is Wild West Twitter.

00:18:00.100 Well, yeah, but still,

00:18:01.800 it was still like,

00:18:02.720 not that extreme, right?

00:18:04.880 That's a really, really hardline stance.

00:18:06.780 So it's like the most extreme

00:18:08.040 left-wing extremist you can find.

00:18:10.220 Literally, I want a white genocide.

00:18:11.940 No, I don't mean the destruction

00:18:12.940 of whiteness as a concept.

00:18:14.660 I mean the death of every white person.

00:18:16.620 Like, that's way out on the edge, you know?

00:18:19.460 I'm not even going to BS about this.

00:18:21.360 Yeah, yeah.

00:18:21.840 Not even many Democrats will say that.

00:18:23.780 You know what I mean?

00:18:24.360 They'll equivocate.

00:18:25.340 Not many, but some.

00:18:26.080 And say, well, whiteness is a concept

00:18:27.780 and a system of privileges and rules

00:18:29.800 and things like that.

00:18:30.420 And, you know, they won't,

00:18:31.460 they'll try and divorce it

00:18:32.400 from the people themselves.

00:18:33.420 But he's just like, no,

00:18:34.200 every single one of them in a grave.

00:18:36.060 And it's like, yeah,

00:18:36.780 it is funny that they've all got

00:18:39.080 such egg on their face from this

00:18:40.600 because it's just embarrassing for them.

00:18:42.900 You know, they look totally out of touch

00:18:44.580 with what these people are actually like.

00:18:46.660 I very much agree.

00:18:47.640 And I think that's probably

00:18:48.280 the least controversial thing

00:18:49.560 that you've ever said

00:18:50.320 is that perhaps calling for the death

00:18:52.860 to all white people

00:18:53.880 makes someone extreme just a little bit.

00:18:56.880 I've never called for the death

00:18:57.300 before anything.

00:18:58.140 Okay.

00:18:58.680 Mm-hmm.

00:18:59.480 Anyway.

00:18:59.880 So there are some interesting perspectives

00:19:01.440 on this other than the ones

00:19:02.820 that we've been talking about as well.

00:19:05.120 Oh, yeah.

00:19:05.760 The Tories said he should be deported.

00:19:07.660 Blah, blah, blah.

00:19:07.880 Maybe you shouldn't have imported.

00:19:08.780 You haven't aimed for him to come here.

00:19:11.060 I just threw that in there.

00:19:12.980 So three hours,

00:19:14.740 a few Twitter accounts

00:19:15.740 did more due diligence

00:19:17.060 on an enemy of the British people

00:19:18.640 than the civil service intelligence services

00:19:20.480 prime minister, foreign secretary,

00:19:22.320 and deputy prime minister did

00:19:23.460 over the course of years.

00:19:24.500 Well, that kind of assumes

00:19:25.420 they don't all agree with him.

00:19:26.740 Exactly what I wanted to say

00:19:27.960 is that, well, actually,

00:19:30.460 they're not that fussed.

00:19:31.840 They're embarrassed that it came out,

00:19:33.460 but were it to go under the radar,

00:19:35.220 I don't think they would have done

00:19:36.100 anything about it.

00:19:36.520 Again, it's like you mentioned

00:19:37.860 Robert Jenrick.

00:19:38.700 It's like Robert Jenrick

00:19:39.700 campaigning to get these Afghanis

00:19:41.340 into the country.

00:19:42.460 Sneaking them in.

00:19:43.440 Sneaking them in,

00:19:44.320 and then once they're in the country,

00:19:45.900 then complaining about it.

00:19:47.040 Oh, no.

00:19:47.640 There are so many Afghanis here.

00:19:49.300 Who let all of these people in?

00:19:51.160 And then you have Wren here

00:19:54.600 talking about the fact that

00:19:56.060 in a country that criminalizes tweets,

00:19:59.240 the things that he tweeted,

00:20:00.540 had we done it to a different group,

00:20:02.900 we would almost certainly be arrested.

00:20:05.800 And then he's welcomed

00:20:06.640 with a message from the prime minister.

00:20:09.040 I can hear the judge now,

00:20:10.900 like, you know,

00:20:11.740 ponderously moralizing,

00:20:13.720 this is not acceptable

00:20:14.900 in a civilized society, Josh.

00:20:16.920 How could you have tweeted this?

00:20:18.400 This endangers everything

00:20:19.980 about British values.

00:20:21.260 Like, you could see,

00:20:22.200 like, this long-winded,

00:20:24.060 therefore I give you

00:20:24.920 the maximum sentence of...

00:20:26.780 Death.

00:20:27.180 Yeah, probably.

00:20:28.280 You know.

00:20:28.820 Mercy in this country,

00:20:29.880 at this rate.

00:20:30.740 And here's another one as well.

00:20:32.740 Boris was forced to resign

00:20:33.800 over sleaze scandals,

00:20:34.740 and this government is hitting

00:20:35.480 serious national security incidents

00:20:36.920 on a monthly basis

00:20:37.840 and just keeps chugging along.

00:20:39.820 And this is an important point,

00:20:40.980 actually,

00:20:41.440 because these sorts of things

00:20:43.320 are like water off a duck's back.

00:20:44.680 Everyone hates labor.

00:20:45.860 It's not actually affecting anything.

00:20:47.780 And this notion of, like,

00:20:48.880 there'll be one more scandal

00:20:49.960 and labor will be finished.

00:20:51.340 No, actually,

00:20:51.880 they can carry on

00:20:52.740 until they're voted out.

00:20:54.440 No problem.

00:20:55.740 They don't have to do anything

00:20:57.220 if they cling on to power.

00:20:59.080 He is right, though.

00:20:59.840 The Tories are always ousted

00:21:01.600 over some sleaze scandal.

00:21:04.580 Starmer is too boring

00:21:06.020 to be directly connected.

00:21:09.200 We don't know

00:21:09.720 what the Ukrainian rent boy situation is.

00:21:11.780 That's true.

00:21:12.760 Zero investigative journalism

00:21:14.340 about that.

00:21:15.220 That's a good point.

00:21:15.960 Minimal reporting.

00:21:16.520 That slipped my mind.

00:21:17.620 Thank you.

00:21:17.980 They just loved...

00:21:18.880 Exactly, right?

00:21:19.520 And that's the point.

00:21:20.320 That's why it's done

00:21:21.260 the way that they've done it.

00:21:22.540 But there's doubtless...

00:21:23.360 The doubtless is sleaze.

00:21:24.420 It's just that the headlines are all,

00:21:26.080 well, I'm bringing in

00:21:26.760 anti-white extremists

00:21:28.360 into the country.

00:21:29.140 This is a priority

00:21:29.960 for my government.

00:21:30.980 Do you care about

00:21:31.540 the Ukrainian rent boys?

00:21:32.480 They probably don't hate white people.

00:21:34.120 You know,

00:21:34.320 they're probably not going to

00:21:35.180 overthrow the country.

00:21:36.020 They're probably paying their taxes.

00:21:37.720 They're just attacking

00:21:38.620 Keir Starmer's personal properties,

00:21:39.940 which apparently

00:21:40.340 is not really very newsworthy.

00:21:42.560 I put it in my notes

00:21:44.180 as Starmer being rake-proof.

00:21:45.780 Like, he keeps on stepping on them,

00:21:47.360 but they just do nothing to him.

00:21:50.480 Yeah, you've got to have

00:21:51.340 feeling in your face, right?

00:21:53.160 It's got to actually hurt,

00:21:54.340 but if someone's just like,

00:21:55.080 okay...

00:21:55.380 Terminator.

00:21:56.280 And like I said,

00:21:56.920 he's like a bureaucratic robot.

00:21:59.340 He really is.

00:22:00.960 And then,

00:22:01.860 I found this one amusing.

00:22:04.740 Why does the UK

00:22:05.520 love recycling

00:22:06.460 Middle Eastern rubbish

00:22:07.600 as activists?

00:22:08.260 We throw them away,

00:22:10.740 you collect them

00:22:11.620 to the point

00:22:12.180 you've become

00:22:12.560 a global hub

00:22:13.300 for extremists.

00:22:15.040 This is true.

00:22:15.820 This is how

00:22:16.300 the Islamic world

00:22:17.240 views us is

00:22:18.020 they get rid of

00:22:20.320 the people

00:22:20.940 they don't want

00:22:21.780 and we just

00:22:22.460 lap them up,

00:22:23.340 apparently.

00:22:23.500 They keep telling us this,

00:22:24.720 though.

00:22:25.340 They're pretty transparent.

00:22:26.300 He's listing it out.

00:22:27.560 Muslim Brotherhood

00:22:28.280 sympathiser,

00:22:29.160 jihadist,

00:22:29.800 glorifier,

00:22:30.520 hates white people,

00:22:31.640 hates Jews,

00:22:32.420 incites violence

00:22:33.120 against the police.

00:22:34.200 Egypt arrested him.

00:22:36.540 And our government

00:22:37.660 says,

00:22:38.360 great guy.

00:22:39.640 Well, he says

00:22:39.960 either you are

00:22:41.300 dangerously naive

00:22:42.140 or you openly

00:22:42.800 despise your own people.

00:22:44.460 Can it not be both?

00:22:47.980 Anyway.

00:22:49.100 So,

00:22:49.540 the final thing

00:22:50.200 I wanted to

00:22:50.820 sort of ponder upon

00:22:51.820 was that

00:22:52.680 if you explain this,

00:22:53.720 I was explaining this

00:22:54.760 to my parents

00:22:55.360 at Christmas

00:22:55.900 and they were like,

00:22:57.260 what on earth

00:22:57.840 are you on about,

00:22:58.540 Josh?

00:22:58.980 And then I saw this

00:23:00.040 and I was like,

00:23:00.440 oh,

00:23:00.800 it's so true.

00:23:01.880 This is the problem

00:23:02.460 with most actual

00:23:04.140 news stories

00:23:04.940 these days.

00:23:06.060 Most people

00:23:06.540 don't pay attention

00:23:07.260 to them outside

00:23:07.820 of a headline

00:23:08.440 here or there

00:23:09.120 that's filtered

00:23:09.640 through left-wing

00:23:10.580 talking points.

00:23:12.120 Then you actually

00:23:12.600 explain,

00:23:13.500 just like the step-by-step,

00:23:14.760 here's what happened

00:23:15.480 and they go,

00:23:16.080 that can't be true.

00:23:17.060 I wish it wasn't.

00:23:18.140 It would be on the news

00:23:18.980 if it were true.

00:23:20.400 Like I was explaining

00:23:21.180 to my parents

00:23:22.080 and that over Christmas,

00:23:24.440 you know,

00:23:25.240 bloated after many a meal

00:23:26.840 that,

00:23:27.640 yeah,

00:23:28.220 Keir Starmer

00:23:28.600 personally intervened

00:23:30.240 and thanked someone

00:23:31.120 that they brought in

00:23:32.080 from Egypt

00:23:32.500 who said he wanted

00:23:33.120 to genocide all white people

00:23:34.460 and it's like,

00:23:35.400 of course,

00:23:36.120 dear.

00:23:36.580 Okay,

00:23:37.120 have another mince pie.

00:23:38.220 It just sounds so ridiculous.

00:23:39.780 You can't help but laugh

00:23:40.600 because it's just so preposterous.

00:23:42.840 I know.

00:23:44.380 But he responded

00:23:45.960 to all of this

00:23:46.540 saying his words

00:23:47.280 were twisted out of meaning.

00:23:48.860 Yeah,

00:23:49.040 right,

00:23:49.300 sorry,

00:23:49.520 Jack.

00:23:49.940 Yeah,

00:23:50.220 I don't know

00:23:51.480 how else they could

00:23:52.300 mean anything.

00:23:53.720 He did apologise

00:23:54.580 but only to the Zionist things

00:23:57.180 because I imagine

00:23:57.880 he's probably a little bit

00:23:59.780 worried about his safety

00:24:00.920 but he didn't apologise

00:24:02.180 for any of the

00:24:02.680 anti-white stuff

00:24:03.480 but he made

00:24:06.180 an unequivocal

00:24:07.900 apology

00:24:08.600 for his historic tweets

00:24:10.220 and yeah,

00:24:12.380 the Guardian picked up

00:24:13.200 and he described

00:24:14.340 his tweets as hurtful

00:24:15.480 but we all know

00:24:16.860 that that's what

00:24:17.340 you actually think

00:24:18.260 and that's why

00:24:20.300 you posted them.

00:24:20.860 Your mind's not changed.

00:24:21.920 You're still

00:24:22.500 a libtard.

00:24:24.440 If this was something

00:24:24.980 that was weighing

00:24:25.400 on your conscience,

00:24:26.300 you would have apologised

00:24:27.100 for them before

00:24:27.940 they came out

00:24:28.600 and it became

00:24:28.980 an international scandal.

00:24:30.340 I'm waiting for him

00:24:31.320 to start writing

00:24:32.080 for the Guardian now.

00:24:33.440 They probably would love that

00:24:34.760 to be honest.

00:24:35.200 Yeah,

00:24:35.380 he probably has previously.

00:24:36.520 He looks like he'd fit in.

00:24:38.100 He certainly would

00:24:39.220 but the story here

00:24:40.760 isn't that

00:24:41.640 the government

00:24:42.980 would let in

00:24:43.540 someone like him.

00:24:44.580 They've let in

00:24:45.180 hundreds of them

00:24:46.020 if not thousands

00:24:46.680 if not hundreds of thousands.

00:24:48.700 It's not that

00:24:49.520 he was

00:24:50.520 an anti-Semite

00:24:51.440 it's that

00:24:51.980 when all of this

00:24:53.580 comes out

00:24:54.160 everyone's talking

00:24:55.260 about him being

00:24:56.160 anti-Semitic

00:24:56.960 when actually

00:24:57.800 the majority

00:24:58.680 of the population

00:24:59.460 is concerned

00:25:00.160 about him being

00:25:00.900 anti-white

00:25:01.540 and no one

00:25:03.200 really talked about it

00:25:04.020 no one really said

00:25:04.660 very much about it

00:25:05.580 and I think that

00:25:06.100 that's a problem

00:25:06.840 and I think that's a way

00:25:07.820 of containing

00:25:08.940 the fact that

00:25:10.280 there are

00:25:10.820 people out there

00:25:11.960 that hate white people

00:25:13.020 because it

00:25:14.140 influences people's

00:25:15.520 attitudes towards

00:25:16.180 immigration.

00:25:16.940 They can't stop

00:25:17.600 that flow.

00:25:18.740 They want those

00:25:19.520 cheap immigrants in

00:25:21.100 they want the cheap labour

00:25:22.000 and that's why

00:25:23.320 they're overlooking it.

00:25:24.880 Hi guys,

00:25:25.280 look at the most

00:25:25.680 westernised Egyptian

00:25:26.520 we've found.

00:25:27.840 Oh, yeah, brilliant.

00:25:29.720 You're too westernised.

00:25:30.700 Yeah, I think you're

00:25:31.240 exactly right.

00:25:34.320 141 Paladin says

00:25:35.320 as an American

00:25:35.840 I know you guys get

00:25:36.480 a lot of

00:25:36.760 Second Amendment comments

00:25:37.600 however now I understand

00:25:39.060 that modern civil wars

00:25:39.880 like Spain and Lebanon

00:25:40.560 I think it's critical

00:25:41.280 that you guys

00:25:41.640 prepare for the worst.

00:25:43.540 Well, I mean

00:25:44.460 I think a lot of people

00:25:45.500 are still optimistically

00:25:46.520 hoping that the worst

00:25:47.960 won't happen

00:25:48.540 and somehow

00:25:50.400 the political

00:25:51.220 environment will

00:25:53.180 shift to people

00:25:54.680 being slightly

00:25:55.280 more reasonable

00:25:56.000 I'm not saying

00:25:57.760 that's not

00:25:58.280 too optimistic

00:25:59.180 but I think

00:26:00.460 people still have

00:26:01.660 this fancy

00:26:03.380 in their head

00:26:03.900 that maybe

00:26:05.060 something can be done

00:26:05.840 and things just

00:26:07.500 aren't bad enough yet

00:26:08.240 frankly.

00:26:09.060 Also,

00:26:09.500 that's a random name

00:26:10.220 keeps calling

00:26:10.800 Josh Timu Andrew Gold

00:26:12.320 which I think

00:26:13.860 is the exact

00:26:14.840 opposite way around

00:26:15.760 I think Andrew Gold

00:26:16.520 is the Timu Josh firm

00:26:17.720 thank you very much.

00:26:18.380 Oh, that's a random name

00:26:19.440 you are woke right.

00:26:20.740 I went on Andrew Gold's

00:26:21.780 podcast yesterday

00:26:22.560 I'm glad to know

00:26:23.900 that you're shaking

00:26:24.560 your neck

00:26:26.060 That'll be out

00:26:27.020 in a minute

00:26:27.340 in a day or two

00:26:28.680 It's pretty clear

00:26:29.960 that way too many

00:26:30.820 Muslims

00:26:31.100 is a thin line

00:26:31.760 between social justice

00:26:32.520 and violence

00:26:33.000 against the innocent

00:26:33.540 Well

00:26:34.260 Explain to your stuff

00:26:35.960 stuff to your parents

00:26:37.000 over Christmas

00:26:37.420 Nice try Timu Andrew

00:26:38.920 Everyone here knows

00:26:39.960 you celebrate Hanukkah

00:26:40.800 What?

00:26:42.560 Where has this come from?

00:26:43.740 I think he's just

00:26:44.400 there posting

00:26:45.060 I see that

00:26:45.980 I appreciate it

00:26:46.800 Let's carry on

00:26:47.380 Don't worry Josh

00:26:49.540 I don't think you look

00:26:50.400 too much like Andrew Gold

00:26:51.600 I mean there are

00:26:53.160 worse people

00:26:53.640 When I met him

00:26:54.500 I said that people

00:26:55.380 thought we looked alike

00:26:56.340 so

00:26:56.760 There are some similarities

00:26:58.580 I would trust you more

00:27:00.920 to have my back

00:27:01.660 in a fight

00:27:02.240 I have punched you

00:27:03.560 before

00:27:03.900 in boxing

00:27:04.460 It's true

00:27:04.880 even though you

00:27:05.420 hurt yourself

00:27:06.040 My glove cut my hand

00:27:08.260 He keeps saying

00:27:09.660 My glove cut my hand

00:27:11.320 No something

00:27:12.780 Alright Andrew Tate

00:27:13.740 calm down

00:27:14.280 Let's carry on

00:27:15.680 Alright then

00:27:16.880 so good news everybody

00:27:18.120 the Neocons

00:27:19.040 are back in action

00:27:20.180 the swamp is back

00:27:21.520 and better than ever

00:27:23.180 and that is one of the things

00:27:24.520 that has been made

00:27:25.620 very very clear

00:27:26.360 over the past day

00:27:27.520 following the aftermath

00:27:29.220 of Venezuela

00:27:29.920 and I say aftermath

00:27:31.060 the Venezuela situation

00:27:32.600 is still very much

00:27:33.920 ongoing

00:27:34.860 very much like

00:27:36.200 what happened with Iran

00:27:37.440 in the middle of last year

00:27:38.700 it's not the sort of thing

00:27:40.180 where you just go in

00:27:41.340 you do a strike

00:27:42.220 you go in

00:27:42.940 you kidnap the president

00:27:44.680 of a country

00:27:45.440 and then it's just done

00:27:46.680 it's just over

00:27:47.700 and that's the last

00:27:48.420 you'll ever hear of it

00:27:49.160 these are ongoing

00:27:50.580 long term

00:27:52.180 geopolitical situations

00:27:53.460 that also have to see

00:27:54.740 how they develop

00:27:55.480 but it has revealed

00:27:57.460 some other things

00:27:58.400 that some people have said

00:27:59.600 have already been clear

00:28:00.360 but I think it's been

00:28:01.740 made explicit

00:28:03.460 now where the Trump

00:28:05.560 administration has gone

00:28:06.580 which is it has

00:28:07.320 completely aligned itself

00:28:08.760 with a neoconservative

00:28:10.980 global foreign policy

00:28:12.620 agenda

00:28:13.400 but first

00:28:14.000 just to update people

00:28:14.980 on what's going on

00:28:15.640 with Maduro

00:28:16.160 so Maduro is in

00:28:17.680 New York City right now

00:28:18.700 and he has pled

00:28:19.740 not guilty

00:28:20.320 after capturing

00:28:21.800 shock USA attack

00:28:23.180 on Venezuela

00:28:23.720 I don't think that's

00:28:24.720 going to work out

00:28:25.180 great for you

00:28:25.660 frankly

00:28:25.940 I imagine there

00:28:28.520 are going to be

00:28:28.940 many lefty lawyers

00:28:29.860 that want to

00:28:30.240 represent him there

00:28:31.000 it's weird that it's

00:28:31.860 in New York

00:28:32.340 isn't it

00:28:33.080 it is strange

00:28:34.480 it's also funny

00:28:35.380 that the judge

00:28:35.980 presiding over the

00:28:36.960 whole thing

00:28:37.380 is 92 years old

00:28:39.140 Jesus

00:28:40.080 hang it up

00:28:41.180 at this point

00:28:41.840 buddy

00:28:42.200 come on

00:28:42.780 the crypt keeper

00:28:43.620 has come out of

00:28:44.180 retirement

00:28:44.600 yeah

00:28:44.900 you're older

00:28:45.740 than a boomer

00:28:46.840 at 92 years old

00:28:48.180 man

00:28:48.420 maybe

00:28:48.960 like this is the

00:28:49.960 one time I'm going

00:28:50.500 to say step down

00:28:51.340 and let it go to

00:28:52.020 a boomer

00:28:52.720 a younger generation

00:28:53.920 is that unironically

00:28:54.760 silent generation

00:28:55.800 I think it might be

00:28:56.960 I think it might be

00:28:58.440 because that would be

00:28:58.980 pre-45

00:28:59.700 obviously

00:29:00.440 either way

00:29:02.240 I don't think it really

00:29:02.940 matters what

00:29:03.620 Maduro pleads

00:29:04.600 it all depends on

00:29:05.780 what kind of

00:29:06.220 backroom dealings

00:29:07.140 are going on

00:29:07.760 if he's able to

00:29:08.740 negotiate something

00:29:09.960 outside of court

00:29:11.080 and speaking of which

00:29:12.340 regarding the actual

00:29:13.320 Venezuelan incident

00:29:15.200 in the first place

00:29:16.100 I mentioned something

00:29:17.340 that a lot of people

00:29:18.100 have been thinking

00:29:18.780 over the past few days

00:29:20.040 yesterday

00:29:20.700 which is going in

00:29:21.960 with that kind of

00:29:22.600 precision strike

00:29:23.400 having no casualties

00:29:24.380 on your own side

00:29:25.480 only casualties

00:29:26.560 on the opposing side

00:29:27.640 and having it be so quick

00:29:29.080 and perfectly pulled off

00:29:31.200 especially with no

00:29:32.400 military intervention

00:29:33.320 from the opposition

00:29:34.340 seems like something

00:29:35.580 that could only really

00:29:36.500 be achieved

00:29:37.060 if you had inside help

00:29:38.420 and while it's not been

00:29:39.360 explicitly said

00:29:40.500 there was

00:29:41.500 this New York Times

00:29:42.840 article

00:29:43.460 from a couple

00:29:44.660 of days ago

00:29:45.360 titled

00:29:46.220 How Trump Fixed

00:29:47.060 on a Maduro Loyalist

00:29:48.380 as Venezuela's

00:29:49.060 New Leader

00:29:49.500 pointing out

00:29:50.660 that the Vice President

00:29:51.960 Delcy Rodriguez

00:29:53.200 had already

00:29:54.360 essentially been tapped

00:29:55.440 by US intelligence

00:29:56.680 services

00:29:57.300 as the

00:29:58.680 new leader

00:29:59.860 if the situation

00:30:01.520 of a Maduro

00:30:02.360 deposition

00:30:03.000 came to be

00:30:04.160 and it says here

00:30:05.020 weeks earlier

00:30:05.680 than the event

00:30:06.760 US officials

00:30:07.780 had already settled

00:30:08.520 on an acceptable

00:30:09.260 candidate

00:30:09.700 to replace

00:30:10.300 Mr. Maduro

00:30:10.960 at least for the

00:30:11.640 time being

00:30:12.200 the Vice President

00:30:13.180 who had impressed

00:30:13.920 Trump officials

00:30:14.600 with her management

00:30:15.600 of Venezuela's

00:30:16.400 crucial oil industry

00:30:17.640 she'd also made it

00:30:18.700 clear that she was

00:30:20.060 more willing to work

00:30:21.440 alongside the Americans

00:30:22.520 than Maduro was

00:30:23.640 and Maduro

00:30:24.400 had been

00:30:25.660 going up and

00:30:27.240 dancing

00:30:27.760 in the past week

00:30:29.620 or so

00:30:29.960 before he got

00:30:30.660 deposed

00:30:31.100 making it clear

00:30:31.980 he wasn't taking

00:30:32.700 American threats

00:30:33.480 seriously

00:30:33.960 so

00:30:34.620 it seems that

00:30:35.880 they say here

00:30:36.780 a secure

00:30:37.840 a US official

00:30:39.400 not named

00:30:40.120 in the article

00:30:40.680 said

00:30:41.300 I've been watching

00:30:42.140 her career

00:30:42.660 for a long time

00:30:43.520 so I have some

00:30:44.420 sense of who she is

00:30:45.440 and what she's about

00:30:46.240 I'm not claiming

00:30:47.160 that she's the

00:30:47.700 permanent solution

00:30:48.400 to the country's

00:30:49.020 problems

00:30:49.320 but she's certainly

00:30:50.200 someone we think

00:30:50.920 we can work with

00:30:51.800 at a much more

00:30:52.720 professional level

00:30:53.460 than we were able

00:30:54.120 to do with him

00:30:55.080 so it does seem

00:30:56.120 that at the very least

00:30:57.180 this might have been

00:30:58.200 an internal coup

00:30:59.280 backed by the US

00:31:00.680 government

00:31:01.060 so that this woman

00:31:02.100 can get in charge

00:31:02.820 and as we've said

00:31:04.000 we were saying

00:31:04.540 before we came on stream

00:31:05.680 as was mentioned

00:31:06.660 yesterday

00:31:07.140 the likelihood is

00:31:08.560 removing sanctions

00:31:09.980 working with the US

00:31:11.840 for the oil industry

00:31:13.080 in Venezuela

00:31:13.600 is probably going to

00:31:14.980 massively alleviate

00:31:16.100 a lot of Venezuela's

00:31:17.400 internal economic problems

00:31:18.720 I'll talk about that

00:31:19.300 in my segment

00:31:19.900 if that's alright

00:31:20.480 I'm not a betting man

00:31:22.220 but I would not be surprised

00:31:23.800 one bit

00:31:24.520 I'd put everything I own

00:31:26.600 on the fact that

00:31:27.420 it was so easy

00:31:28.540 because there was no

00:31:29.740 resistance in the regime

00:31:30.960 and they're just like

00:31:31.500 here you go

00:31:32.140 because obviously

00:31:33.120 things haven't worked out

00:31:34.120 in Venezuela

00:31:34.560 and it's not that hard

00:31:36.180 what are you talking about

00:31:36.960 they have socialism

00:31:37.680 sorry

00:31:39.240 but it's not that hard

00:31:42.100 to imagine the fact

00:31:43.220 that well

00:31:43.820 maybe if we could

00:31:44.600 sell our oil

00:31:45.340 we could be better off

00:31:47.140 and that's not a hard

00:31:49.580 thing to comprehend

00:31:50.320 and people are just like

00:31:51.960 well if we get rid

00:31:52.980 of Maduro

00:31:53.440 then we can do that

00:31:55.280 so

00:31:55.820 seems like a very strong

00:31:58.380 incentive to me

00:31:59.140 to turn him over

00:32:00.600 I also like food

00:32:01.700 but on that note

00:32:03.500 again

00:32:04.140 it's probably going

00:32:05.140 to massively improve

00:32:06.040 the lives of a lot

00:32:06.880 of Venezuelans

00:32:07.600 I don't think anybody

00:32:08.300 is going to contradict that

00:32:10.140 again it's important

00:32:11.240 to note that

00:32:11.900 when we see

00:32:12.800 the actions of

00:32:13.900 a large American empire

00:32:15.560 on the foreign stage

00:32:17.280 as much as it's easy

00:32:18.920 to get caught up

00:32:20.100 in the hoorah

00:32:21.140 USA

00:32:21.800 hype of the whole thing

00:32:23.280 that the action

00:32:24.260 that's being taken

00:32:25.080 for the most part

00:32:26.000 is not for you

00:32:28.220 it is for the sake

00:32:29.520 of privileged oligarchs

00:32:31.220 with their own

00:32:32.020 political and economic

00:32:33.940 agendas

00:32:34.660 typically my rule

00:32:36.080 that I like to

00:32:37.000 keep in mind

00:32:37.660 at all times

00:32:38.320 is that if something

00:32:39.380 is not done

00:32:40.140 specifically for you

00:32:41.880 any benefits

00:32:42.980 that you get from it

00:32:44.260 will be temporary

00:32:45.220 and purely incidental

00:32:47.140 and in fact

00:32:48.000 given what we know

00:32:49.020 about the corrupt

00:32:50.180 oligarchy

00:32:50.840 that runs

00:32:51.480 the western world

00:32:52.780 right now

00:32:53.360 I mean

00:32:53.620 just go back

00:32:54.460 and look at Epstein

00:32:55.280 and everybody

00:32:56.860 associated with him

00:32:58.020 typically

00:32:58.740 if you do

00:33:00.220 accrue any benefit

00:33:01.220 from it

00:33:01.920 you will be punished

00:33:03.220 for them later

00:33:03.940 Brexit

00:33:05.540 Brexit

00:33:06.580 what did we get

00:33:07.300 for Brexit

00:33:07.720 we got the Boris wave

00:33:08.680 and it's going to be

00:33:10.040 the same pattern

00:33:10.920 everywhere

00:33:11.920 and so it's important

00:33:13.200 to see

00:33:13.720 whose agenda

00:33:14.600 this is fueling

00:33:16.300 because

00:33:16.640 America will not

00:33:18.660 have deposed

00:33:19.320 Maduro for the sake

00:33:20.560 of the Venezuelan people

00:33:21.700 as Donald Trump

00:33:22.860 has made very clear

00:33:23.740 this is very much

00:33:24.540 related to oil

00:33:25.740 and hemisphere security

00:33:27.720 which could

00:33:28.300 for the short term

00:33:29.060 maybe even

00:33:29.920 for the long term

00:33:30.600 result in better

00:33:31.440 oil prices

00:33:32.120 and gas prices

00:33:32.840 for Americans

00:33:33.480 which I'm not going

00:33:34.240 to say is a bad

00:33:35.700 thing for the time

00:33:36.540 being

00:33:36.840 but this was

00:33:38.540 something that

00:33:39.340 came out yesterday

00:33:40.480 a picture of

00:33:41.800 Donald Trump

00:33:42.620 with the swamp

00:33:44.020 himself

00:33:44.920 Lindsey Graham

00:33:46.700 one of the most

00:33:48.120 notorious war hawks

00:33:49.800 in all of Washington

00:33:50.860 posing together

00:33:52.280 with a

00:33:53.140 make Iran

00:33:54.200 great again

00:33:55.060 hat

00:33:55.360 which had been

00:33:55.920 signed by Trump

00:33:56.940 very clearly

00:33:58.220 Trump

00:33:58.800 through this

00:33:59.880 and through many

00:34:00.520 of his actions

00:34:01.040 over the past year

00:34:01.820 has decided

00:34:02.900 to shake off

00:34:04.040 those people

00:34:05.060 who are part

00:34:05.620 of a non-interventionist

00:34:07.220 MAGA side

00:34:08.120 people like

00:34:09.060 Marjorie Taylor Greene

00:34:10.260 people like

00:34:11.160 Thomas Massey

00:34:11.920 who I'll speak about

00:34:12.840 in a moment

00:34:13.340 and people like

00:34:15.300 Matt Gaetz

00:34:16.160 for instance

00:34:16.960 all people

00:34:18.160 who were not

00:34:19.040 fans of the same

00:34:21.080 backers

00:34:21.700 that somebody

00:34:22.220 like Lindsey Graham

00:34:23.200 is

00:34:23.720 he's shaken them off

00:34:25.160 and he has fully

00:34:25.920 aligned himself

00:34:26.840 with the Lindsey Graham

00:34:28.580 types

00:34:29.120 and he's also

00:34:30.080 shaken off people

00:34:31.960 like Elon Musk

00:34:33.280 the past year

00:34:34.000 has been him

00:34:34.780 kind of

00:34:35.620 getting rid

00:34:36.920 of anybody

00:34:37.880 who wouldn't be

00:34:38.800 in favour

00:34:39.340 of these kinds

00:34:40.400 of actions

00:34:40.920 I thought Trump

00:34:41.680 was meant to get

00:34:42.400 rid of the swamp

00:34:43.520 creatures

00:34:43.920 not summon up

00:34:44.900 its most powerful

00:34:45.820 representative

00:34:46.500 like

00:34:47.420 it's a very

00:34:48.500 strange thing

00:34:49.340 I couldn't believe

00:34:50.140 when I saw this

00:34:50.900 I think both you

00:34:51.540 and I

00:34:51.880 picked up on it

00:34:53.000 and were talking

00:34:53.740 about it online

00:34:53.920 a lot of people

00:34:54.800 were sharing

00:34:55.380 videos of Donald

00:34:56.340 Trump circa

00:34:57.080 around 2015

00:34:58.060 and the lead up

00:34:58.800 to his initial

00:34:59.420 campaign when he

00:35:00.200 was heavily

00:35:01.320 critical of

00:35:02.160 Hillary Clinton

00:35:02.800 and Barack Obama's

00:35:03.740 involvement in

00:35:04.340 foreign intervention

00:35:05.140 pointing out the

00:35:06.400 trillions of dollars

00:35:07.300 that had been

00:35:07.800 wasted on it

00:35:08.540 and all of the

00:35:10.320 human rights abuses

00:35:11.680 the loss of American

00:35:12.640 life that came with it

00:35:13.620 and I think

00:35:15.620 what's become clear

00:35:16.700 typically now

00:35:17.760 is that

00:35:18.480 it was just a

00:35:19.960 cudgel to beat

00:35:20.720 Hillary Clinton

00:35:21.560 with at the time

00:35:23.020 and it was beneficial

00:35:24.400 for him to say

00:35:25.540 at the time

00:35:26.560 and now that he

00:35:27.440 is in charge

00:35:28.140 and thinks that

00:35:28.860 he is able to work

00:35:29.900 with these same

00:35:30.560 swamp creatures

00:35:31.260 for successful

00:35:32.880 foreign intervention

00:35:33.960 military action

00:35:34.820 that he's more than

00:35:36.320 happy to align

00:35:37.280 himself with them

00:35:38.100 especially because

00:35:38.860 they are all

00:35:39.980 taking money

00:35:40.840 from similar backers

00:35:42.060 as he is

00:35:43.100 it's funny that

00:35:43.780 his objection is

00:35:44.540 it's costing too

00:35:45.280 much and getting

00:35:45.900 too many people

00:35:46.440 killed

00:35:46.760 I'm going to do

00:35:47.520 it cheaper

00:35:47.940 and get zero

00:35:48.720 people killed

00:35:49.620 well for the time

00:35:50.620 being

00:35:50.920 for the time

00:35:51.900 being

00:35:52.160 we'll see how

00:35:52.780 it runs

00:35:53.220 in the long term

00:35:54.100 I think there's

00:35:54.620 an important

00:35:54.980 difference here

00:35:55.680 because the

00:35:56.360 Venezuela thing

00:35:57.160 they did do it

00:35:57.820 on the cheap

00:35:58.260 there's no loss

00:35:58.880 of American life

00:35:59.680 and so I've seen

00:36:00.580 lots of people say

00:36:01.340 well okay in this

00:36:02.400 instance the benefits

00:36:03.980 to America

00:36:04.560 in getting rid of

00:36:06.180 a hostile nation

00:36:07.040 close to us

00:36:07.780 was worth it

00:36:09.880 and so

00:36:10.560 I think they got rid

00:36:11.000 of the nation

00:36:11.640 you know what I mean

00:36:12.800 that's the thing

00:36:14.860 is the vice president

00:36:15.880 who it seems

00:36:16.540 that they tapped

00:36:17.140 to take over

00:36:18.020 has been wishy-washy

00:36:20.320 now that she has

00:36:21.460 been put into power

00:36:22.460 on how much she

00:36:23.920 will cooperate

00:36:24.560 with America

00:36:25.300 she initially came

00:36:26.300 out with anti-American

00:36:27.200 statements

00:36:27.640 that might have

00:36:28.620 been to placate

00:36:29.500 elements of the

00:36:30.220 government that

00:36:30.700 were still pro-Majuro

00:36:31.780 that remain

00:36:32.460 but ultimately

00:36:33.760 other than

00:36:34.760 Majuro

00:36:35.300 the infrastructure

00:36:36.860 of the Venezuelan

00:36:37.620 government

00:36:37.920 is still there

00:36:39.320 and whether or not

00:36:40.720 there are people

00:36:41.640 who are compliant

00:36:42.420 with him in power

00:36:43.680 they can still cause

00:36:45.600 if there is an

00:36:46.220 occupation as Trump

00:36:47.200 has said

00:36:47.660 a lot of headaches

00:36:49.000 it's not as

00:36:50.160 foreign intervention

00:36:51.080 even if it's in a

00:36:52.440 weak country in

00:36:53.240 South America

00:36:53.880 is not as simple

00:36:55.240 as you kidnap

00:36:56.520 the leader

00:36:57.140 put somebody you

00:36:58.360 like in charge

00:36:59.300 and then everybody

00:37:00.460 does everything

00:37:01.300 that you say

00:37:01.900 no questions ask

00:37:02.920 and everything goes

00:37:03.820 off without a hitch

00:37:04.600 I tell you what

00:37:05.120 if Trump somehow

00:37:06.080 flukes into that

00:37:07.320 being the case

00:37:08.080 though

00:37:08.320 if it did

00:37:08.940 if it did

00:37:10.140 I'll eat my words

00:37:10.960 I know right

00:37:11.640 because I'm not

00:37:12.380 saying that's

00:37:12.780 what's going to

00:37:13.160 happen

00:37:13.400 but I don't know

00:37:14.300 why but I can

00:37:14.940 kind of see it

00:37:15.840 going that way

00:37:16.580 well

00:37:17.900 you know what I

00:37:18.420 mean

00:37:18.600 if they were to

00:37:19.560 purely focus

00:37:20.760 their attention

00:37:21.540 on this

00:37:23.400 but already

00:37:24.940 they are making

00:37:25.980 making gestures

00:37:27.500 and outright

00:37:28.180 statements

00:37:28.700 that they're going

00:37:30.180 to start targeting

00:37:31.020 other countries

00:37:31.680 it's not going to

00:37:32.860 be as easy

00:37:33.720 like Iran

00:37:34.440 and Cuba

00:37:35.020 there's going to

00:37:36.180 be a lot more

00:37:36.760 defence

00:37:37.180 although

00:37:37.760 so there's a

00:37:39.400 thing about this

00:37:40.200 which is

00:37:40.900 a lot of these

00:37:41.940 sort of legacy

00:37:42.540 20th century

00:37:43.500 regimes

00:37:44.200 are kind of

00:37:45.600 ripe to fall

00:37:46.560 right

00:37:47.140 like

00:37:47.980 is Iran

00:37:48.940 ripe to fall

00:37:49.820 the IRGC

00:37:50.760 is still

00:37:51.220 very entrenched

00:37:52.640 yeah I'm not saying

00:37:53.460 they're not entrenched

00:37:54.080 but they don't have

00:37:54.900 the support of their

00:37:55.800 own population

00:37:56.820 and the IRGC

00:37:57.840 and Iran

00:37:58.920 still has

00:37:59.660 I mean that was

00:38:00.500 probably part of

00:38:01.400 the Venezuela

00:38:01.920 action

00:38:02.340 action

00:38:03.800 access to

00:38:04.780 shipping routes

00:38:05.920 and resources

00:38:07.000 that are still

00:38:07.580 important

00:38:08.080 they're not

00:38:08.600 anything

00:38:08.900 but

00:38:09.560 there's

00:38:10.520 there's a kind

00:38:11.920 of ripening

00:38:12.740 of the circumstance

00:38:13.800 which is

00:38:14.940 you know

00:38:15.220 everyone in Venezuela

00:38:16.400 hate Maduro

00:38:17.060 the Iranian

00:38:18.560 millers are not

00:38:19.080 popular

00:38:19.440 the Castro

00:38:21.400 regime in

00:38:22.260 Cuba is not

00:38:22.920 popular

00:38:23.260 like it's

00:38:24.060 becoming apparent

00:38:24.720 that actually

00:38:25.740 this was just

00:38:26.420 the wrong

00:38:26.980 side of history

00:38:28.080 right

00:38:28.760 I mean

00:38:29.360 frankly

00:38:30.580 I don't care

00:38:32.260 about the

00:38:32.660 well-being

00:38:33.180 of Iran

00:38:33.940 I'm not saying

00:38:34.920 we should

00:38:35.400 I know

00:38:37.240 I'm not saying

00:38:37.720 we should

00:38:38.040 I'm not saying

00:38:38.720 I'm of the

00:38:40.420 mind that

00:38:41.060 this kind of

00:38:42.060 direct American

00:38:43.500 force

00:38:43.920 I mean people

00:38:44.420 were saying

00:38:45.000 in the wake

00:38:45.740 of this

00:38:46.160 that it turns

00:38:46.660 out you can

00:38:47.100 just do things

00:38:48.000 great well

00:38:48.940 if you can

00:38:49.500 just do things

00:38:50.520 if that's the

00:38:51.120 lesson to take

00:38:51.740 from this

00:38:52.180 if you're not

00:38:53.060 doing certain

00:38:53.980 other things

00:38:54.760 like rounding

00:38:56.120 up all of the

00:38:56.880 illegals

00:38:57.500 in America

00:38:58.080 and shipping

00:38:58.620 them off

00:38:59.000 I have to

00:39:00.060 make the

00:39:00.900 I have to

00:39:02.040 take the

00:39:02.320 conclusion

00:39:02.740 that's a

00:39:03.620 purposeful

00:39:04.320 decision

00:39:04.820 not to do

00:39:05.880 that

00:39:06.140 but the

00:39:07.440 thing is

00:39:07.980 what I'm

00:39:08.260 trying to

00:39:08.480 say though

00:39:08.780 is that

00:39:09.380 a lot

00:39:09.980 and we'll

00:39:11.160 talk about

00:39:11.420 this in my

00:39:11.760 segment

00:39:11.940 it's clear

00:39:12.840 that the

00:39:13.240 capitalist

00:39:13.620 world order

00:39:14.180 has won

00:39:14.680 right

00:39:15.220 and so

00:39:15.940 these kind

00:39:16.480 of

00:39:16.620 anachronistic

00:39:17.480 legacy

00:39:18.240 20th century

00:39:19.000 institutions

00:39:19.500 and organizations

00:39:20.520 that are against

00:39:21.360 the capitalist

00:39:21.800 order

00:39:22.100 they just

00:39:22.700 look like

00:39:23.040 they're out

00:39:23.280 of time

00:39:23.680 like what

00:39:24.260 the hell

00:39:24.520 is an

00:39:24.780 Iranian

00:39:25.120 mullah

00:39:25.480 what are you

00:39:26.360 doing here

00:39:27.020 your own

00:39:28.980 people don't

00:39:29.520 want you

00:39:29.920 there

00:39:30.160 nobody else

00:39:31.160 wants you

00:39:31.680 there

00:39:31.860 nobody thinks

00:39:32.460 about you

00:39:32.780 you seem

00:39:33.680 archaic

00:39:34.600 and ridiculous

00:39:35.220 just like

00:39:35.900 Maduro

00:39:36.580 socialism

00:39:37.140 so this

00:39:37.700 is for

00:39:38.300 another

00:39:38.560 century

00:39:39.420 I don't

00:39:40.640 think it's

00:39:41.040 quite that

00:39:41.540 simple

00:39:41.880 I wouldn't

00:39:42.340 say the

00:39:42.680 capitalist

00:39:43.080 world order

00:39:43.780 as it

00:39:44.100 exists

00:39:44.540 right now

00:39:45.460 is necessarily

00:39:45.940 because what

00:39:46.700 you're essentially

00:39:47.080 saying there

00:39:47.700 is end of

00:39:48.180 history

00:39:48.980 no no no

00:39:50.040 no no

00:39:50.140 I'm not

00:39:50.580 because it would

00:39:51.800 be very very

00:39:52.500 easy to say

00:39:53.500 that the

00:39:54.200 political system

00:39:55.180 hang on

00:39:55.500 hang on

00:39:55.840 I'm not

00:39:56.240 saying

00:39:57.060 the capitalist

00:39:57.480 order behind

00:39:58.340 America

00:39:58.940 during the

00:39:59.540 1980s and

00:40:00.360 the fall of

00:40:00.800 the Soviet

00:40:01.180 Union

00:40:01.720 was the

00:40:03.380 right side

00:40:04.060 and it would

00:40:04.580 never face

00:40:05.180 any challenges

00:40:05.780 again and

00:40:06.400 clearly that

00:40:07.000 has not

00:40:07.320 I'm not

00:40:07.860 saying

00:40:08.160 that capitalism

00:40:09.680 or liberalism

00:40:11.000 is the eternal

00:40:11.720 model of

00:40:12.760 governance and

00:40:13.400 economics

00:40:14.160 what I'm saying

00:40:15.000 is in the

00:40:16.200 late 19th

00:40:17.360 century and

00:40:17.660 early 20th

00:40:18.180 century there

00:40:18.900 was a

00:40:19.100 competition

00:40:19.460 between

00:40:19.900 capitalism

00:40:20.480 and socialism

00:40:21.060 and fascism

00:40:22.000 which one

00:40:22.820 would be

00:40:23.260 the thing

00:40:23.820 that goes

00:40:24.920 into the

00:40:25.320 new era

00:40:26.100 and we

00:40:27.280 had that

00:40:27.980 play out

00:40:28.340 all through

00:40:28.640 the 20th

00:40:29.120 century and

00:40:30.260 those ones

00:40:31.220 lost

00:40:31.780 they lost

00:40:32.520 that competition

00:40:32.940 now I'm not

00:40:33.500 saying that

00:40:33.780 capitalism is

00:40:34.300 the last

00:40:34.760 economic

00:40:35.620 system or

00:40:36.120 political

00:40:36.360 system

00:40:36.740 it's not

00:40:38.100 it's just

00:40:38.600 it is what

00:40:39.240 is here

00:40:39.680 now

00:40:40.080 I see it

00:40:40.980 very much

00:40:41.300 like the

00:40:41.980 death of

00:40:42.420 the Greek

00:40:42.980 city-state

00:40:43.560 right

00:40:43.920 like when

00:40:44.880 Philip of

00:40:45.360 Macedon

00:40:45.860 defeats

00:40:47.260 Thebes

00:40:47.600 and Athens

00:40:48.040 it signals

00:40:50.160 very much

00:40:50.600 that city-states

00:40:51.240 are just

00:40:51.540 over

00:40:52.000 right

00:40:52.540 it's not

00:40:53.460 the end

00:40:53.660 of history

00:40:54.000 history is

00:40:54.440 obviously

00:40:54.660 still going

00:40:54.940 to carry

00:40:55.180 on the

00:40:55.420 great powers

00:40:55.820 are going

00:40:55.980 to fight

00:40:56.220 blah blah

00:40:56.500 blah

00:40:56.640 but the

00:40:57.380 Greek

00:40:57.820 idea of

00:40:58.680 oh we

00:40:59.040 can just

00:40:59.340 have our

00:40:59.680 independent

00:41:00.080 city-states

00:41:00.720 and have

00:41:01.000 an alliance

00:41:01.360 no that's

00:41:02.080 over

00:41:02.300 it's empires

00:41:02.980 now

00:41:03.260 right

00:41:03.760 and that's

00:41:04.220 what I'm

00:41:04.540 talking about

00:41:04.880 it's not

00:41:05.220 socialism

00:41:05.660 and capitalism

00:41:06.200 or you

00:41:06.920 know

00:41:07.100 islamism

00:41:07.940 and you

00:41:08.600 know

00:41:08.720 whatever the

00:41:09.080 mullers are

00:41:09.300 well I

00:41:09.560 definitely

00:41:10.000 agree that

00:41:12.700 the old

00:41:13.360 binaries

00:41:14.040 are not

00:41:14.580 they're

00:41:16.960 anachronistic

00:41:17.500 you are

00:41:18.020 right that

00:41:18.720 they are

00:41:18.920 and we're

00:41:19.080 moving into

00:41:19.520 something else

00:41:19.860 and there

00:41:20.420 will be

00:41:20.700 things after

00:41:21.300 this

00:41:21.580 it's just

00:41:21.900 right now

00:41:22.500 this is

00:41:22.900 what it

00:41:23.240 is

00:41:23.440 and this

00:41:24.060 has one

00:41:24.560 and they

00:41:24.940 just have

00:41:25.200 to come

00:41:25.380 to terms

00:41:25.680 with it

00:41:26.000 either way

00:41:27.180 so he is

00:41:28.300 making

00:41:28.680 statements

00:41:29.360 saying things

00:41:30.080 like Cuba

00:41:30.600 is ready

00:41:31.060 to fall

00:41:31.560 and here

00:41:31.980 you can

00:41:32.320 see

00:41:32.720 Lindsey Graham

00:41:34.360 at his side

00:41:35.220 salivating

00:41:36.100 probably

00:41:36.480 masturbating

00:41:37.340 out of

00:41:38.180 camera

00:41:38.540 it's the first

00:41:39.060 direction

00:41:39.380 Lindsey Graham's

00:41:40.060 had in like

00:41:40.480 30 minutes

00:41:41.000 and look at him

00:41:44.100 we can't really

00:41:45.300 hear that

00:41:45.680 Samsung

00:41:45.980 by the way

00:41:46.360 but Cuba

00:41:48.160 now

00:41:48.540 has no

00:41:49.580 income

00:41:50.020 they got all

00:41:50.620 of their

00:41:50.940 income

00:41:51.260 from Venezuela

00:41:51.980 from the

00:41:53.020 Venezuelan oil

00:41:53.820 they're not

00:41:54.160 getting any

00:41:54.620 and Cuba

00:41:56.240 literally

00:41:56.680 is ready

00:41:57.120 to fall

00:41:57.500 and you

00:41:58.460 have a lot

00:41:58.860 of great

00:41:59.300 Cuban

00:41:59.680 Americans

00:42:00.180 that are

00:42:00.600 going to be

00:42:00.840 very happy

00:42:01.380 about this

00:42:02.000 again

00:42:04.280 it's this

00:42:04.700 Cuba's

00:42:06.000 ready to

00:42:06.440 fall

00:42:06.700 like they

00:42:07.060 could just

00:42:07.380 go into

00:42:07.800 a decapitation

00:42:08.720 strike

00:42:09.160 or some

00:42:09.600 kind of

00:42:09.960 on the ground

00:42:10.340 invasion

00:42:10.720 and then

00:42:11.040 it's just

00:42:11.340 as simple

00:42:11.820 as we've

00:42:12.780 won now

00:42:13.200 like a

00:42:13.540 video game

00:42:14.280 or something

00:42:14.840 the thing

00:42:15.240 is

00:42:15.540 like I said

00:42:16.360 I got this

00:42:17.300 feeling that

00:42:17.920 this is

00:42:18.600 kind of

00:42:19.080 going to

00:42:19.280 work out

00:42:19.660 for Trump

00:42:20.140 because

00:42:21.100 I mean

00:42:22.420 maybe

00:42:22.780 let me

00:42:24.080 put my

00:42:24.660 case forward

00:42:25.140 and don't

00:42:25.580 get me

00:42:25.720 wrong

00:42:25.820 I'm happy

00:42:26.280 if

00:42:26.980 you know

00:42:27.360 if this

00:42:28.220 goes completely

00:42:28.980 the other way

00:42:29.640 I'm happy

00:42:30.380 to say

00:42:30.600 well I'm

00:42:31.040 just some

00:42:31.680 guy who

00:42:32.080 doesn't

00:42:32.320 know

00:42:32.500 right

00:42:32.720 but there's

00:42:33.660 there's

00:42:33.920 something about

00:42:34.520 the overstaying

00:42:36.260 their welcome

00:42:36.880 like the

00:42:37.460 socialists have

00:42:38.080 clearly overstayed

00:42:38.720 their welcome

00:42:39.180 right

00:42:39.440 everyone hates

00:42:40.260 them in Cuba

00:42:40.680 everyone hates

00:42:41.160 them in Venezuela

00:42:41.980 and actually

00:42:43.320 you know

00:42:44.640 everyone in the

00:42:45.460 West is just

00:42:45.960 fat and happy

00:42:46.760 which is why

00:42:47.600 we're not having

00:42:48.040 revolutions

00:42:48.560 you know

00:42:48.980 like the

00:42:49.980 people in

00:42:51.160 those countries

00:42:52.700 and the people

00:42:53.280 of Iran

00:42:53.560 like there are

00:42:55.040 a lot

00:42:55.200 there are constant

00:42:55.860 protests

00:42:56.380 and there's

00:42:56.700 currently one

00:42:57.160 going on

00:42:57.600 now

00:42:57.940 like not

00:42:59.780 an uprising

00:43:00.240 I think

00:43:00.700 is appropriate

00:43:01.600 to call it

00:43:01.960 but like

00:43:02.280 huge amounts

00:43:02.960 of civil unrest

00:43:03.520 because people

00:43:03.940 are just really

00:43:04.500 sick of this

00:43:05.240 way of

00:43:06.020 governance

00:43:06.740 these kind

00:43:07.660 of authoritarian

00:43:08.860 autocratic

00:43:09.520 methods of

00:43:10.020 governance

00:43:10.260 and so it

00:43:11.080 does kind

00:43:11.620 of feel

00:43:11.960 like the

00:43:12.320 moment is

00:43:12.700 ripening

00:43:13.060 where yeah

00:43:13.760 they'll probably

00:43:14.100 fall and

00:43:14.800 as Trump

00:43:15.940 pointed out

00:43:16.400 there are

00:43:16.720 millions of

00:43:17.380 them in

00:43:18.360 the West

00:43:18.900 who actually

00:43:19.400 would like

00:43:19.960 to go

00:43:20.360 home

00:43:20.820 right

00:43:21.540 there are

00:43:21.860 8 million

00:43:22.820 Venezuelans

00:43:23.540 currently in

00:43:24.080 exile

00:43:24.460 if 8 million

00:43:26.000 Venezuelans

00:43:26.640 go home

00:43:27.140 like I've said

00:43:27.820 for the average

00:43:28.820 Venezuelan

00:43:29.460 on the ground

00:43:30.100 it will be

00:43:31.100 interesting to see

00:43:32.000 that they will

00:43:32.420 probably have

00:43:33.120 their lives

00:43:33.640 improved

00:43:34.300 but we'll see

00:43:36.100 whether these

00:43:36.700 people end up

00:43:37.720 going back

00:43:38.540 we will

00:43:38.960 but I suspect

00:43:39.520 that millions

00:43:40.020 of Venezuelans

00:43:40.560 probably will

00:43:41.060 actually leave

00:43:41.660 America

00:43:42.100 and so

00:43:43.180 actually that

00:43:44.080 is Trump

00:43:44.580 accomplishing

00:43:45.460 something

00:43:45.760 incidentally

00:43:46.640 for us

00:43:47.760 don't get me

00:43:48.240 wrong

00:43:48.440 he's not

00:43:48.920 doing it

00:43:49.280 for us

00:43:49.800 but at least

00:43:50.620 incidentally

00:43:51.120 we'll have

00:43:51.380 some benefit

00:43:51.900 out of it

00:43:52.340 either way

00:43:53.240 carrying on

00:43:54.040 again

00:43:54.520 so

00:43:55.180 Lindsey Graham

00:43:56.980 posted about

00:43:58.020 this

00:43:58.380 another great

00:43:58.920 day with the

00:43:59.360 president of the

00:43:59.800 united states

00:44:00.320 who's brought

00:44:00.680 America back

00:44:01.440 stronger than

00:44:02.080 ever

00:44:02.400 at home

00:44:03.260 and abroad

00:44:03.940 god bless

00:44:04.500 our commander

00:44:05.000 in chief

00:44:05.360 and all the

00:44:05.700 men

00:44:06.140 who serve

00:44:07.420 under him

00:44:08.040 there's the

00:44:08.640 picture

00:44:08.900 I posted

00:44:09.760 about this

00:44:10.260 saying

00:44:10.540 this is just

00:44:11.480 open

00:44:12.480 neocon

00:44:13.680 agenda

00:44:14.260 with Iran

00:44:15.480 particularly

00:44:16.200 and people

00:44:16.780 were trying

00:44:17.120 to tell me

00:44:17.540 this isn't

00:44:17.980 2003 anymore

00:44:19.300 blah blah

00:44:19.740 blah

00:44:19.960 these aren't

00:44:20.700 the same

00:44:21.020 people

00:44:21.380 this isn't

00:44:21.760 the same

00:44:21.960 thing

00:44:22.160 I had to

00:44:23.860 point out

00:44:24.200 that this

00:44:24.480 is literally

00:44:25.040 the same

00:44:25.600 people

00:44:26.060 with the

00:44:27.440 same

00:44:27.700 agenda

00:44:28.160 and if you

00:44:29.020 go all the

00:44:29.420 way back

00:44:29.800 to 1996

00:44:30.820 plenty of

00:44:31.600 people have

00:44:32.100 written about

00:44:32.700 this

00:44:32.940 I read about

00:44:33.620 it in

00:44:33.960 Pat Buchanan

00:44:34.880 but there

00:44:35.260 are a number

00:44:35.640 of different

00:44:36.120 sources you

00:44:36.700 can read

00:44:36.980 about in

00:44:37.300 1996

00:44:37.860 there was

00:44:38.900 an Israeli

00:44:39.320 think tank

00:44:39.860 that produced

00:44:40.380 the clean

00:44:40.880 break document

00:44:41.720 which laid

00:44:42.240 out a number

00:44:42.960 of regional

00:44:43.900 rivals in the

00:44:44.860 Middle East

00:44:45.260 to Israel

00:44:46.080 with Iran

00:44:47.220 being considered

00:44:48.200 the crown

00:44:48.920 jewel

00:44:49.320 and it

00:44:49.920 was after

00:44:50.500 that

00:44:50.800 that all

00:44:51.180 of a sudden

00:44:51.640 the American

00:44:52.220 government

00:44:52.640 began to

00:44:53.260 slowly topple

00:44:54.180 each of

00:44:54.940 these countries

00:44:55.660 most recently

00:44:56.940 we had

00:44:57.480 Syria

00:44:58.000 which was

00:44:58.560 included

00:44:59.000 in that

00:44:59.360 this is

00:45:00.000 part of

00:45:00.540 the same

00:45:01.040 agenda

00:45:01.480 being pushed

00:45:02.260 by many

00:45:03.460 of the same

00:45:03.960 people

00:45:04.440 like for

00:45:05.720 instance

00:45:06.060 obviously

00:45:06.420 Netanyahu

00:45:06.880 was actually

00:45:07.380 involved in

00:45:08.040 the production

00:45:08.480 of that

00:45:09.220 document

00:45:09.820 but also

00:45:10.500 Richard

00:45:10.880 Pearl

00:45:11.300 was one

00:45:11.740 of the

00:45:11.920 main

00:45:12.080 writers

00:45:12.440 of that

00:45:12.820 who had

00:45:13.180 a lot

00:45:13.500 of say

00:45:13.900 in George

00:45:14.580 W. Bush's

00:45:15.520 administration

00:45:16.860 in 2001

00:45:18.740 there are

00:45:19.480 reports of

00:45:20.120 you know

00:45:20.680 generals

00:45:21.160 who came

00:45:21.680 in

00:45:21.940 following

00:45:23.020 the

00:45:23.620 events

00:45:24.760 of 9-11

00:45:25.460 and he

00:45:26.120 came into

00:45:26.580 a meeting

00:45:26.960 at the

00:45:27.240 Oval

00:45:27.520 Office

00:45:27.840 and Richard

00:45:28.600 Pearl

00:45:28.980 and a

00:45:29.800 number

00:45:29.960 of other

00:45:30.280 people

00:45:30.560 were sat

00:45:30.940 there

00:45:31.140 talking

00:45:31.460 about

00:45:31.740 right time

00:45:32.220 to invade

00:45:32.660 Afghanistan

00:45:33.200 and he

00:45:33.580 was like

00:45:33.860 what did

00:45:35.440 Afghanistan

00:45:35.880 have to do

00:45:36.540 with any

00:45:36.880 of this

00:45:37.300 like where

00:45:37.720 did that

00:45:38.080 come from

00:45:38.440 but they'd

00:45:38.800 already had

00:45:39.320 all of this

00:45:39.780 planned out

00:45:40.220 so this

00:45:40.560 is this

00:45:41.180 is simply

00:45:41.540 the next

00:45:42.160 step

00:45:42.720 in that

00:45:43.520 this is

00:45:43.920 the crown

00:45:44.540 jewel

00:45:45.080 of this

00:45:46.140 and if

00:45:46.640 you look

00:45:47.000 at what's

00:45:47.300 been going

00:45:47.660 on in

00:45:48.120 Syria

00:45:48.460 since

00:45:48.900 Assad

00:45:49.320 fell

00:45:49.640 I believe

00:45:51.060 they're already

00:45:51.940 starting to make

00:45:52.860 some gestures

00:45:53.500 towards Russia

00:45:54.400 and China

00:45:54.880 because the

00:45:55.520 internal

00:45:56.520 administration

00:45:57.040 of that

00:45:57.640 regime

00:45:58.120 after they

00:45:58.580 put literal

00:45:59.180 ISIS

00:45:59.660 Al Qaeda

00:46:00.180 in charge

00:46:00.680 has not

00:46:01.500 been going

00:46:01.920 great

00:46:02.340 really

00:46:02.740 it has

00:46:03.180 it has

00:46:03.600 not been

00:46:04.100 going

00:46:04.360 great

00:46:04.660 I know

00:46:05.100 I am

00:46:06.480 shocked

00:46:07.000 I am

00:46:07.700 absolutely

00:46:08.220 shocked

00:46:08.840 and there's

00:46:09.460 other footage

00:46:10.020 as well

00:46:10.460 you can see

00:46:11.020 just Lindsay

00:46:11.600 Graham

00:46:11.920 absolutely

00:46:12.600 foaming

00:46:13.120 at the

00:46:13.400 mouth

00:46:13.680 after all

00:46:14.940 of this

00:46:15.400 he really

00:46:15.900 is completing

00:46:16.420 his transformation

00:46:16.940 into an actual

00:46:17.720 pig though

00:46:18.200 isn't he

00:46:18.720 I think

00:46:19.620 that's the

00:46:20.080 case with

00:46:20.600 many of

00:46:21.140 these kind

00:46:21.560 of like

00:46:21.840 bloodthirsty

00:46:22.920 rhinos

00:46:23.760 as they

00:46:24.780 do

00:46:25.040 but

00:46:25.980 one of

00:46:26.980 the things

00:46:27.400 that

00:46:27.620 one of

00:46:28.140 the other

00:46:28.360 things that's

00:46:28.820 come out

00:46:29.060 about it

00:46:29.300 obviously

00:46:29.660 there is

00:46:30.200 still a

00:46:30.640 strain

00:46:30.960 of MAGA

00:46:31.680 there is

00:46:32.520 still a

00:46:33.100 strain

00:46:33.360 in the

00:46:33.780 Republican

00:46:34.140 Party

00:46:34.620 that

00:46:35.320 campaigned

00:46:35.960 on

00:46:36.060 anti-interventionism

00:46:37.120 that got

00:46:37.740 alongside

00:46:38.360 Trump

00:46:39.080 because of

00:46:39.980 the sorts

00:46:40.420 of discussions

00:46:40.920 that he was

00:46:41.440 having

00:46:41.820 about

00:46:42.640 interventionism

00:46:43.620 people within

00:46:45.020 the

00:46:45.640 Libertarian

00:46:47.000 Party

00:46:47.540 of America

00:46:48.740 sided with

00:46:50.080 Trump

00:46:50.500 because he

00:46:51.120 was making

00:46:51.820 himself out

00:46:52.420 to be an

00:46:53.440 anti-interventionist

00:46:54.320 and somebody

00:46:55.300 who could pull

00:46:55.960 back on Ukrainian

00:46:56.800 action in the

00:46:57.720 lead up to the

00:46:58.220 2024 election

00:46:59.780 and Trump is

00:47:00.960 actively beginning

00:47:01.880 to target those

00:47:02.740 people now

00:47:03.220 we already saw him

00:47:04.000 target Marjorie

00:47:04.920 Taylor Greene

00:47:05.660 who has now

00:47:06.520 announced her

00:47:07.080 decision that she's

00:47:07.740 going to be

00:47:08.140 leaving Congress

00:47:09.180 and now he is

00:47:10.440 actively attacking

00:47:11.820 Thomas Massey

00:47:13.040 who has been

00:47:14.460 frankly a thorn

00:47:15.380 in Trump's side

00:47:16.360 for the past

00:47:16.960 year especially

00:47:17.940 with going so

00:47:18.740 hard on not

00:47:19.800 supporting the

00:47:20.280 big beautiful

00:47:20.740 bill not

00:47:21.820 giving up on

00:47:23.140 the Epstein

00:47:23.620 files and

00:47:25.160 other things

00:47:25.800 and Trump

00:47:27.600 is now

00:47:27.980 directly attacking

00:47:29.000 him most

00:47:29.960 notably of all

00:47:31.040 making a

00:47:31.700 statement at the

00:47:32.320 bottom here

00:47:33.040 he is going

00:47:34.180 to be supporting

00:47:34.860 instead

00:47:35.700 Ed

00:47:36.580 Gal

00:47:37.120 he makes

00:47:39.240 a statement

00:47:39.800 here

00:47:40.160 unlike

00:47:40.560 lightweight

00:47:41.300 Congressman

00:47:41.920 Massey

00:47:42.380 a true

00:47:43.260 hater of

00:47:43.900 Israel

00:47:44.580 and a

00:47:45.660 totally

00:47:45.960 ineffective

00:47:46.540 loser

00:47:47.220 who has

00:47:48.060 failed us

00:47:48.520 so badly

00:47:49.220 Captain

00:47:49.980 Ed

00:47:50.340 Gal

00:47:50.600 is a

00:47:51.240 winner

00:47:51.520 who will

00:47:51.960 not let

00:47:52.480 Kentucky

00:47:53.060 down

00:47:53.900 and people

00:47:54.440 have been

00:47:54.780 pointing out

00:47:55.400 that amongst

00:47:55.900 this bigger

00:47:56.580 this larger

00:47:57.420 statement

00:47:57.860 just highlighting

00:47:59.040 down there

00:48:00.040 that Massey

00:48:01.160 who very

00:48:01.780 notably

00:48:02.220 has not

00:48:02.720 accepted

00:48:03.060 money from

00:48:03.540 APAC

00:48:04.220 unlike

00:48:06.100 somebody like

00:48:06.900 Lindsey

00:48:07.200 Graham

00:48:07.540 who by

00:48:08.040 the way

00:48:08.340 just for

00:48:08.660 everybody

00:48:08.940 to know

00:48:09.360 has accepted

00:48:09.960 over one

00:48:10.960 million dollars

00:48:11.560 from APAC

00:48:12.280 and in

00:48:12.820 2022

00:48:13.240 during his

00:48:14.120 campaign

00:48:14.640 took almost

00:48:15.740 two hundred

00:48:16.360 thousand dollars

00:48:17.100 combined from

00:48:17.880 Lockheed Martin

00:48:18.800 Northrop Gunham

00:48:20.120 and Raytheon

00:48:21.140 Thomas Massey

00:48:22.820 just a thing

00:48:23.520 he'd probably

00:48:23.980 have done it

00:48:24.360 for free

00:48:24.900 oh no

00:48:25.400 absolutely

00:48:25.860 like Ted Cruz

00:48:27.280 like Ted Cruz

00:48:28.760 these people

00:48:29.320 would all do it

00:48:30.040 for free

00:48:30.560 the money on

00:48:31.220 the side

00:48:31.640 is just the

00:48:32.180 cherry

00:48:33.020 on top

00:48:34.120 but I decided

00:48:35.700 to look a bit

00:48:36.260 more into this

00:48:37.100 Golrain man

00:48:38.220 and it had

00:48:38.720 some very

00:48:39.420 very interesting

00:48:40.240 connections

00:48:40.860 that were able

00:48:41.980 to be sussed

00:48:42.620 quite easily

00:48:43.560 through looking

00:48:44.420 into it

00:48:44.800 so there's

00:48:45.140 this article

00:48:45.700 from the

00:48:47.040 Kentucky News

00:48:48.340 that states

00:48:49.300 here

00:48:49.560 Ed Golrain

00:48:50.200 a Trump

00:48:50.640 endorsed

00:48:50.980 candidate

00:48:51.340 from Shelby

00:48:51.900 County

00:48:52.280 officially

00:48:52.680 launched

00:48:53.080 his campaign

00:48:53.620 against

00:48:54.340 Massey

00:48:54.700 Tuesday

00:48:55.040 morning

00:48:55.480 stating

00:48:56.200 I've

00:48:56.520 dedicated

00:48:56.820 my life

00:48:57.340 to serving

00:48:57.720 my country

00:48:58.220 and I'm

00:48:58.540 ready to

00:49:01.600 country

00:49:02.040 the president

00:49:02.780 didn't

00:49:03.180 I assume

00:49:03.720 he said

00:49:04.060 this after

00:49:04.520 having beaten

00:49:05.260 up that

00:49:06.440 guy in

00:49:07.080 Chicago

00:49:07.400 yeah

00:49:07.920 Jussie Smollett

00:49:08.560 the president

00:49:09.820 doesn't need

00:49:10.360 obstacles in

00:49:11.080 Congress

00:49:11.400 he needs

00:49:11.800 backup

00:49:24.040 response

00:49:24.760 the Uniparty

00:49:26.180 in DC

00:49:26.580 finally found

00:49:27.260 someone willing

00:49:27.780 to be a

00:49:28.240 rubber stamp

00:49:28.760 for globalist

00:49:29.460 billionaires

00:49:50.560 now the funding

00:49:51.560 for this Galrain

00:49:52.620 man is coming

00:49:53.680 from a political

00:49:55.180 action committee

00:49:56.280 affiliated with

00:49:57.280 Trump's team

00:49:57.920 called

00:49:58.240 MAGA

00:49:58.880 KY

00:49:59.400 Kentucky

00:50:00.080 it unloaded

00:50:01.520 1.8 million

00:50:02.780 dollars in ads

00:50:03.580 against Massey

00:50:04.380 so far

00:50:05.020 according to

00:50:05.980 the Federal

00:50:07.120 Electoral

00:50:07.720 Commission

00:50:08.600 and they had

00:50:09.300 an article

00:50:09.860 following up

00:50:10.720 on that

00:50:11.140 telling you

00:50:11.680 who is behind

00:50:12.320 this pack

00:50:12.880 and the

00:50:14.040 three main

00:50:14.860 donors behind

00:50:15.680 it

00:50:16.000 who have spent

00:50:17.240 over 1 million

00:50:18.280 dollars running

00:50:18.920 ads

00:50:19.400 are three

00:50:20.320 GOP aligned

00:50:21.480 billionaire

00:50:21.940 donors

00:50:22.480 head fund managers

00:50:23.480 Paul Singer

00:50:25.140 and John Paulson

00:50:26.520 as well as

00:50:27.200 a PAC

00:50:27.760 with ties to

00:50:28.700 Miriam Adelson

00:50:29.560 the widow

00:50:30.120 of late

00:50:30.780 Trump

00:50:31.140 mega donor

00:50:31.860 Sheldon Adelson

00:50:32.960 she I think

00:50:33.800 recently said

00:50:34.600 that she would

00:50:35.100 donate 250

00:50:36.280 million dollars

00:50:37.100 to Trump

00:50:37.540 if he ran

00:50:38.300 for a third

00:50:38.880 term

00:50:39.280 they've contributed

00:50:40.440 a total of

00:50:41.540 2 million dollars

00:50:42.520 to the pack

00:50:43.300 Paulson gave

00:50:44.380 the pack

00:50:44.920 250,000

00:50:46.340 Adelson's

00:50:47.880 Preserve America

00:50:48.700 pack offered

00:50:49.580 750 million

00:50:50.800 sorry

00:50:51.280 750,000

00:50:52.700 and Singer

00:50:53.540 gave

00:50:53.920 MAGA

00:50:54.660 KY

00:50:55.240 1 million

00:50:56.620 dollars

00:50:57.460 and I thought

00:50:58.020 this name

00:50:58.520 Paul Singer

00:50:59.120 sounded familiar

00:51:00.000 to me

00:51:00.500 so I decided

00:51:01.640 to look him

00:51:02.800 up as well

00:51:03.540 regarding some

00:51:04.440 of the stuff

00:51:04.760 that's been

00:51:05.080 going on

00:51:05.520 in Venezuela

00:51:06.560 and what it

00:51:08.080 turns out

00:51:08.760 is that he

00:51:09.540 is going to

00:51:10.160 be making

00:51:10.660 a lot

00:51:11.380 of money

00:51:12.040 in Venezuelan

00:51:13.360 oil

00:51:13.700 through the

00:51:14.700 events that

00:51:15.200 have taken

00:51:15.520 place over

00:51:15.960 the past

00:51:16.280 few days

00:51:16.760 it says

00:51:17.140 here

00:51:17.420 one of

00:51:18.040 President

00:51:18.340 Donald

00:51:18.660 Trump's

00:51:19.080 top

00:51:19.300 billionaire

00:51:19.680 donors

00:51:20.140 who has

00:51:20.500 spent the

00:51:20.900 past

00:51:21.200 several

00:51:21.560 months

00:51:21.820 backing

00:51:22.500 a push

00:51:22.980 for regime

00:51:23.600 change

00:51:23.960 in Venezuela

00:51:24.580 is about

00:51:25.520 to cash

00:51:26.040 in after

00:51:26.500 the President's

00:51:27.180 kidnapping

00:51:27.580 of the

00:51:27.920 nation's

00:51:28.340 president

00:51:28.660 while he

00:51:29.420 declined

00:51:29.740 to tell

00:51:30.160 members

00:51:30.500 of Congress

00:51:31.000 Trump has

00:51:31.640 said he

00:51:32.140 tipped off

00:51:32.620 oil executives

00:51:33.380 before the

00:51:34.480 illegal attack

00:51:35.340 there was

00:51:36.820 evidence of

00:51:38.440 insider trading

00:51:39.400 and a decent

00:51:40.200 amount of it

00:51:40.900 on things like

00:51:41.520 Polymarket

00:51:42.120 it's a question

00:51:44.520 of how long

00:51:45.840 ago he had

00:51:46.900 tipped them off

00:51:48.020 because clearly

00:51:48.980 with the strikes

00:51:49.720 on Venezuelan

00:51:50.860 boats as well

00:51:52.380 back in September

00:51:53.760 this had been

00:51:54.680 running up

00:51:55.180 for a long

00:51:55.600 time

00:51:56.000 they had

00:51:56.660 the fleet

00:51:57.180 outside of

00:51:57.940 the

00:51:58.100 yeah

00:51:58.660 exactly

00:51:59.340 I mean

00:51:59.640 they've been

00:52:00.180 sanctioning

00:52:00.660 them for

00:52:01.000 years

00:52:01.440 so it's

00:52:02.360 no wonder

00:52:02.840 that people

00:52:03.360 were aware

00:52:03.900 of it

00:52:04.220 at a large

00:52:04.920 press conference

00:52:06.340 following the

00:52:06.920 attack

00:52:07.200 he said

00:52:07.580 the US

00:52:08.020 would have

00:52:08.480 our very

00:52:09.000 large

00:52:09.360 United States

00:52:09.980 oil companies

00:52:10.620 go into

00:52:11.000 Venezuela

00:52:11.400 which he

00:52:12.180 said the

00:52:12.500 US will

00:52:12.960 run

00:52:13.280 indefinitely

00:52:14.020 and start

00:52:14.760 making money

00:52:15.340 for the

00:52:15.860 United States

00:52:16.480 and again

00:52:17.200 given the

00:52:17.760 fact that

00:52:18.120 Venezuelan

00:52:18.740 infrastructure

00:52:19.400 with the

00:52:19.840 government

00:52:20.160 other than

00:52:20.920 Majuro and

00:52:21.480 his wife

00:52:21.860 are still in

00:52:22.980 place

00:52:23.240 even if

00:52:23.640 they've got

00:52:23.900 someone more

00:52:24.400 friendly to

00:52:25.200 the United

00:52:25.560 States right

00:52:26.180 now

00:52:26.540 it still

00:52:27.600 remains to

00:52:28.100 be seen

00:52:28.560 I know

00:52:29.680 you say it

00:52:30.300 could be a

00:52:30.720 miracle

00:52:31.020 and it

00:52:31.800 could just

00:52:32.200 go across

00:52:32.680 I'm not

00:52:33.240 saying I

00:52:33.620 think it

00:52:33.900 will be

00:52:34.280 I just

00:52:34.700 have this

00:52:35.780 feeling

00:52:36.040 I think

00:52:36.400 somehow

00:52:37.160 Trump's

00:52:37.820 going to

00:52:38.020 luck his

00:52:38.400 way through

00:52:38.740 it

00:52:38.880 that it

00:52:39.100 just

00:52:39.240 happens

00:52:39.520 to

00:52:39.680 fall in

00:52:40.160 place

00:52:40.540 I'd be very

00:52:40.620 impressed

00:52:40.720 if he did

00:52:41.200 I would like

00:52:42.200 that to be

00:52:42.620 the case

00:52:43.000 because frankly

00:52:43.560 I don't want

00:52:44.100 to see more

00:52:44.580 bloodshed

00:52:44.980 I don't want

00:52:45.760 to see America

00:52:46.560 get mired down

00:52:47.560 especially in

00:52:48.300 somewhere like

00:52:48.760 South America

00:52:49.420 that's so

00:52:50.540 close to

00:52:50.980 their borders

00:52:51.480 because that

00:52:52.780 would just

00:52:53.140 mean if they

00:52:53.800 do get

00:52:54.160 mired down

00:52:54.740 a huge

00:52:55.500 caravan of

00:52:56.160 migrants

00:52:56.580 going straight

00:52:57.360 through Central

00:52:57.900 America and

00:52:58.500 Mexico up to

00:52:59.240 the southern

00:52:59.580 border again

00:53:00.300 and I'm sure

00:53:01.720 they would

00:53:02.060 camp out

00:54:07.260 it purchased

00:54:14.200 billion

00:54:14.540 dollars

00:54:15.000 a sale

00:54:15.680 that was

00:54:15.940 forced

00:54:16.360 by a

00:54:16.780 Delaware

00:54:17.300 court

00:54:17.860 after

00:54:18.360 Venezuela

00:54:18.840 defaulted

00:54:19.540 on its

00:54:19.900 bond

00:54:20.280 payments

00:54:20.800 here's an

00:54:21.420 interesting

00:54:21.740 fact about

00:54:22.420 that

00:54:22.660 the court

00:54:23.040 appointed

00:54:23.420 special

00:54:23.860 master

00:54:24.280 who forced

00:54:25.140 the sale

00:54:25.640 Robert

00:54:26.760 is a

00:54:27.720 of the

00:54:28.340 board

00:54:28.560 of

00:54:31.460 affairs

00:54:31.980 committee

00:54:32.420 APAC

00:54:33.120 literally

00:54:33.720 one of

00:54:34.160 the

00:54:34.300 directors

00:54:34.800 of

00:54:35.060 APAC

00:54:36.500 pushed

00:54:37.120 this

00:54:37.400 sale

00:54:37.660 through

00:54:38.100 and again

00:54:39.240 with this

00:54:39.820 what you've

00:54:40.100 got to

00:54:40.320 keep in

00:54:40.660 mind

00:54:40.920 is

00:54:41.260 this

00:54:41.660 will

00:54:41.880 have

00:54:42.140 been

00:54:42.460 these

00:54:43.500 investment

00:54:43.880 companies

00:54:44.340 will have

00:54:44.980 been

00:54:45.120 handpicked

00:54:45.740 handpicked

00:54:47.300 to hand

00:54:47.740 out

00:54:47.960 rewards

00:54:48.580 to

00:54:49.060 massive

00:54:49.860 donors

00:54:50.320 for the

00:54:51.140 party

00:54:51.460 we heard

00:54:51.940 how much

00:54:52.400 money he

00:54:52.840 had donated

00:54:53.380 in support

00:54:54.760 of

00:54:55.300 MAGA

00:54:56.760 and therefore

00:54:57.560 this is his

00:54:58.400 reward

00:54:58.900 for doing

00:54:59.860 so

00:55:00.280 Elliott

00:55:01.160 management

00:55:01.560 hailed the

00:55:02.120 court order

00:55:02.620 requiring the

00:55:03.220 sale in a

00:55:03.620 press release

00:55:04.120 saying it

00:55:04.520 was backed

00:55:04.960 by a group

00:55:05.500 of strategic

00:55:06.180 US

00:55:06.880 energy

00:55:07.440 investors

00:55:08.060 Singer

00:55:08.620 acquired

00:55:09.120 Citgo's

00:55:09.820 three

00:55:10.220 massive

00:55:10.720 coastal

00:55:11.520 refineries

00:55:12.240 43

00:55:12.960 oil

00:55:13.680 terminals

00:55:14.160 and more

00:55:14.880 than

00:55:15.020 4,000

00:55:15.900 gas stations

00:55:16.620 at a

00:55:17.100 major

00:55:17.540 discount

00:55:18.100 because of

00:55:18.840 its

00:55:18.960 distressed

00:55:19.460 status

00:55:20.060 advisors

00:55:20.560 to the

00:55:20.920 court

00:55:21.160 overseeing

00:55:22.080 the sale

00:55:22.440 estimated

00:55:22.980 its value

00:55:23.500 at 11

00:55:24.340 to 13

00:55:25.040 billion

00:55:25.380 dollars

00:55:25.700 while the

00:55:26.020 Venezuelan

00:55:26.460 government

00:55:26.760 themselves

00:55:27.320 estimated

00:55:28.140 it at

00:55:28.440 18

00:55:28.980 billion

00:55:29.620 dollars

00:55:30.020 after the

00:55:30.920 US abducted

00:55:31.720 Maduro

00:55:32.080 this week

00:55:32.660 Trump named

00:55:33.440 Rodriguez

00:55:33.940 as Venezuela's

00:55:34.800 interim

00:55:35.100 president

00:55:35.440 and she

00:55:36.180 was formally

00:55:36.580 sworn in

00:55:37.060 on Monday

00:55:37.420 but he

00:55:37.860 warned

00:55:38.140 that she'll

00:55:38.620 pay a

00:55:39.300 very big

00:55:39.820 price

00:55:40.180 if she

00:55:40.520 refuses

00:55:40.940 to do

00:55:41.320 what we

00:55:41.700 want

00:55:41.980 this is

00:55:42.580 good news

00:55:42.980 for Singer

00:55:43.380 who is

00:55:43.720 expected to

00:55:44.220 be one

00:55:44.500 of the

00:55:44.720 biggest

00:55:44.920 beneficiaries

00:55:45.420 of the

00:55:46.440 oil industry

00:55:47.080 controlled by

00:55:47.700 US corporations

00:55:48.400 which he

00:55:48.820 will likely

00:55:49.280 not be

00:55:49.780 subject to

00:55:50.360 crippling

00:55:50.820 sanctions

00:55:51.760 so

00:55:52.720 obviously

00:55:54.380 America has

00:55:55.520 its own

00:55:55.900 huge

00:55:56.560 geopolitical

00:55:58.580 reasons

00:55:59.500 for wanting

00:56:00.500 energy security

00:56:01.480 in the

00:56:02.040 western

00:56:02.320 hemisphere

00:56:02.860 but as

00:56:03.820 well

00:56:04.120 a lot of

00:56:05.000 this

00:56:05.300 seems to

00:56:06.080 be done

00:56:06.620 in service

00:56:07.780 of rewarding

00:56:09.020 huge

00:56:09.900 donors

00:56:10.380 huge donors

00:56:10.400 that have

00:56:11.020 been backing

00:56:11.540 the MAGA

00:56:12.480 movement

00:56:12.900 since

00:56:13.780 in the

00:56:15.440 case of

00:56:15.760 somebody like

00:56:16.240 Miriam Adelson

00:56:17.020 back in

00:56:17.860 2015

00:56:18.520 2016

00:56:19.240 but with

00:56:21.080 this guy

00:56:21.540 this seems

00:56:22.040 to be

00:56:22.660 a huge

00:56:24.160 reward

00:56:24.680 for him

00:56:25.520 he puts

00:56:26.260 in a few

00:56:27.600 tens of

00:56:28.320 million dollars

00:56:29.000 here and

00:56:29.780 there in

00:56:30.360 support of

00:56:30.840 the cause

00:56:31.220 and then he

00:56:32.060 gets a

00:56:32.540 huge payoff

00:56:33.880 so while

00:56:34.500 again

00:56:34.840 energy

00:56:35.280 security

00:56:35.880 geopolitical

00:56:36.660 concerns

00:56:37.080 are a huge

00:56:38.100 part of it

00:56:38.620 there is

00:56:39.240 also a

00:56:39.700 hefty deal

00:56:40.340 of behind

00:56:40.820 the scenes

00:56:41.280 corruption

00:56:41.860 with our

00:56:43.060 corrupt

00:56:43.380 oligarchy

00:56:44.040 that goes

00:56:44.760 with it

00:56:45.500 and that's

00:56:45.880 why I

00:56:46.340 always say

00:56:47.040 with these

00:56:47.700 things

00:56:48.080 that they

00:56:48.840 are not

00:56:49.180 necessarily

00:56:49.700 done to

00:56:50.220 benefit

00:56:50.620 you

00:56:51.340 the American

00:56:52.220 people

00:56:52.660 they'll put

00:56:53.200 on all

00:56:53.820 of the

00:56:54.520 big hype

00:56:55.580 edits

00:56:56.020 and get

00:56:57.200 a load

00:56:57.500 of accounts

00:56:58.240 who may

00:56:59.060 or may

00:56:59.320 not be

00:56:59.720 shills

00:57:00.040 to support

00:57:00.980 it for

00:57:01.400 you

00:57:01.720 but

00:57:02.440 ultimately

00:57:03.760 the people

00:57:04.720 who will

00:57:05.060 benefit

00:57:05.420 most from

00:57:06.540 this

00:57:06.840 even more

00:57:07.460 so than

00:57:07.820 the

00:57:07.940 Venezuelan

00:57:08.460 people

00:57:08.780 seem to

00:57:09.860 be

00:57:10.220 these

00:57:10.820 huge

00:57:11.600 money

00:57:11.880 investors

00:57:12.420 who get

00:57:13.100 to make

00:57:13.460 an absolute

00:57:14.100 killing

00:57:14.720 by buying

00:57:15.720 up all

00:57:16.120 of these

00:57:16.440 resources

00:57:17.040 at a

00:57:17.860 huge

00:57:18.340 discount

00:57:18.920 as reported

00:57:19.800 here

00:57:20.100 so that's

00:57:21.180 I had

00:57:21.720 some more

00:57:22.140 information

00:57:22.600 off of the

00:57:23.020 back of

00:57:23.360 this

00:57:23.540 but I

00:57:24.280 think I'll

00:57:24.680 end it

00:57:25.180 there

00:57:25.540 ok

00:57:26.540 a

00:57:28.120 hedonism

00:57:28.480 says

00:57:28.740 there was

00:57:29.080 actually

00:57:29.360 an amount

00:57:30.240 of non

00:57:30.640 insignificant

00:57:31.260 military

00:57:31.760 resistance

00:57:32.360 there's a

00:57:33.460 youtube channel

00:57:33.940 called

00:57:34.120 capi army

00:57:34.680 which goes

00:57:35.460 through a

00:57:35.700 breakdown

00:57:35.920 of the

00:57:36.120 operation

00:57:36.480 oh thank

00:57:37.120 you for

00:57:37.320 that

00:57:37.440 I'd not

00:57:37.760 seen any

00:57:38.140 reports on

00:57:38.840 military

00:57:39.380 resistance

00:57:39.940 most of

00:57:40.320 the reports

00:57:40.640 that I'd

00:57:40.960 seen said

00:57:41.500 that there

00:57:41.800 hadn't been

00:57:42.260 any

00:57:42.560 but yeah

00:57:43.840 and Luke

00:57:45.380 says don't

00:57:46.320 forget what

00:57:46.600 Trump was

00:57:46.900 able to pull

00:57:47.300 off

00:57:47.520 blowing up

00:57:48.120 the Iranian

00:57:48.440 plant and

00:57:49.380 arrest

00:57:49.880 the thinking

00:57:52.620 of fear

00:57:53.580 of some of

00:57:54.180 these people

00:57:54.560 they have

00:57:55.600 could be

00:57:55.980 waking up

00:57:56.320 the health

00:57:56.580 force

00:57:56.900 well

00:57:57.620 actually reports

00:57:58.900 reports after

00:57:59.220 that show

00:57:59.640 that again

00:58:00.180 there had

00:58:00.520 been a lot

00:58:00.980 of behind

00:58:01.400 the scenes

00:58:02.040 discussions

00:58:03.020 going on

00:58:03.840 and the

00:58:04.080 Iranians

00:58:04.560 had probably

00:58:05.100 already pulled

00:58:05.940 all of the

00:58:06.740 actual most

00:58:07.700 important resources

00:58:08.680 out of

00:58:09.680 Fordow

00:58:11.000 which was one

00:58:11.540 of the main

00:58:11.820 places that they

00:58:12.560 used the bunker

00:58:13.440 bombs on

00:58:14.040 and so

00:58:15.040 it's still up

00:58:16.580 in the air

00:58:17.080 and pretty

00:58:17.840 unlikely at this

00:58:18.640 point that they

00:58:19.180 actually did any

00:58:19.840 major significant

00:58:20.820 lasting damage

00:58:21.760 to whatever

00:58:22.540 nuclear facilities

00:58:23.940 or research

00:58:24.720 Iran had been

00:58:25.500 doing

00:58:25.900 a lot of

00:58:26.920 this tends

00:58:27.960 to be hugely

00:58:29.140 exaggerated

00:58:30.380 and emphasised

00:58:31.440 for the sake

00:58:32.020 of good media

00:58:33.320 marketing

00:58:33.760 so let's move

00:58:35.520 on

00:58:35.860 because I want

00:58:36.720 to talk about

00:58:37.120 the death

00:58:38.020 of the socialist

00:58:38.540 dream which

00:58:38.980 follows on from

00:58:39.500 what Harry's

00:58:39.900 just been talking

00:58:40.420 about

00:58:40.700 which I think

00:58:42.800 what we're

00:58:43.120 witnessing is

00:58:43.960 the victory

00:58:44.640 of the global

00:58:45.560 capitalist system

00:58:46.560 over the rivals

00:58:47.980 that it had

00:58:48.380 during the 20th

00:58:49.080 century

00:58:49.380 and I think

00:58:50.260 Venezuela is actually

00:58:51.080 a really good

00:58:51.460 example of this

00:58:52.320 now I just want

00:58:53.100 to be clear

00:58:53.460 I'm not saying

00:58:54.040 this is a good

00:58:54.660 or a bad

00:58:55.180 thing

00:58:55.480 there are

00:58:56.560 obviously going

00:58:56.940 to be lots

00:58:57.320 of opinions

00:58:57.780 on various

00:58:58.240 sides

00:58:58.660 I'm going to

00:59:00.200 try and speak

00:59:00.900 fairly neutrally

00:59:01.560 about this

00:59:01.980 but I think

00:59:02.380 this is just

00:59:03.000 something we

00:59:03.460 can confirm

00:59:04.300 has happened

00:59:05.060 obviously China

00:59:06.540 and Russia

00:59:07.020 are essentially

00:59:08.300 setting up

00:59:08.820 their own

00:59:09.400 kind of

00:59:09.680 counter

00:59:10.140 global

00:59:11.040 capitalist

00:59:11.520 system

00:59:12.000 the Americans

00:59:13.220 obviously control

00:59:13.980 the current

00:59:15.080 one that dominates

00:59:15.800 the world

00:59:16.040 at the moment

00:59:16.480 but the

00:59:17.720 alternatives

00:59:18.120 seem to have

00:59:18.680 just died

00:59:19.060 off

00:59:19.380 honestly I think

00:59:20.940 it's just

00:59:21.300 about productive

00:59:22.140 capacity

00:59:22.740 it's just

00:59:23.740 too productive

00:59:24.720 not to be

00:59:25.800 a

00:59:26.520 political

00:59:27.800 system

00:59:28.640 I was only

00:59:29.840 going to

00:59:30.080 ever so

00:59:30.400 quickly say

00:59:30.860 that the

00:59:31.240 sort of

00:59:31.500 background

00:59:31.780 of all

00:59:32.220 of this

00:59:32.500 going on

00:59:33.000 is that

00:59:33.600 there's a

00:59:34.560 sort of

00:59:34.820 cold war

00:59:35.440 going on

00:59:35.900 between the

00:59:36.420 US and

00:59:36.880 Russia and

00:59:37.320 China

00:59:37.900 but at the

00:59:39.220 minute it's

00:59:39.600 being fought

00:59:40.220 in the economy

00:59:41.380 rather than

00:59:42.180 elsewhere

00:59:42.620 and so

00:59:43.180 these are

00:59:43.620 sort of

00:59:44.460 shifting

00:59:45.140 countries

00:59:46.400 into their

00:59:47.140 spheres of

00:59:47.580 influence

00:59:48.020 so that

00:59:49.020 they can

00:59:49.500 reap the

00:59:50.100 economic

00:59:50.580 benefits

00:59:51.060 to out

00:59:51.460 compete

00:59:51.820 their

00:59:52.100 rivals

00:59:52.500 exactly

00:59:53.020 and that's

00:59:53.640 I think

00:59:54.040 a large

00:59:54.520 part of

00:59:55.020 why this

00:59:55.600 has happened

00:59:56.160 also

00:59:56.820 at the

00:59:57.460 current

00:59:57.720 time

00:59:58.240 America

00:59:58.900 still has

00:59:59.420 the greatest

00:59:59.920 amount of

01:00:00.640 power

01:00:00.980 projection

01:00:01.460 on the

01:00:02.220 world stage

01:00:02.820 China

01:00:03.560 it's still

01:00:04.360 uncertain

01:00:04.880 whether China

01:00:05.460 could even

01:00:05.860 do anything

01:00:06.420 with a

01:00:07.080 neighbour

01:00:07.320 like Taiwan

01:00:08.200 without

01:00:08.820 incurring

01:00:09.340 massive

01:00:09.820 penalties

01:00:10.280 and Russia

01:00:11.360 is bogged

01:00:12.120 down in

01:00:12.500 Ukraine

01:00:12.920 America

01:00:13.760 still has

01:00:14.600 a lot

01:00:15.120 more of a

01:00:15.580 free hand

01:00:16.120 to act

01:00:16.980 than those

01:00:17.740 countries

01:00:18.140 do

01:00:18.280 and I

01:00:18.680 think

01:00:18.900 that this

01:00:19.240 is what

01:00:19.540 the

01:00:19.700 Venezuelan

01:00:20.340 operation

01:00:21.500 was about

01:00:22.060 right

01:00:22.400 so as

01:00:23.640 you can

01:00:23.860 see

01:00:23.980 and I

01:00:25.020 think

01:00:25.260 not only

01:00:26.360 that

01:00:26.520 it's

01:00:26.840 it's

01:00:27.080 about

01:00:27.280 ideas

01:00:27.800 whose

01:00:28.040 times

01:00:28.460 have

01:00:28.780 come

01:00:29.120 and

01:00:29.380 passed

01:00:29.900 as I

01:00:30.520 was

01:00:30.600 speaking

01:00:30.820 to

01:00:30.940 you

01:00:31.020 earlier

01:00:31.200 I

01:00:31.980 think

01:00:32.240 that

01:00:32.460 the

01:00:32.740 these

01:00:33.180 legacy

01:00:33.660 ideals

01:00:34.300 and

01:00:34.780 regimes

01:00:35.260 from

01:00:35.480 the

01:00:35.600 20th

01:00:35.940 century

01:00:36.300 same

01:00:36.840 with

01:00:36.940 Iran

01:00:37.260 I

01:00:38.060 think

01:00:38.340 that

01:00:38.780 they've

01:00:39.180 just

01:00:39.420 failed

01:00:39.700 on their

01:00:40.000 own

01:00:40.180 terms

01:00:40.600 and

01:00:40.940 that's

01:00:41.180 the

01:00:41.320 real

01:00:41.500 problem

01:00:41.800 with

01:00:41.980 them

01:00:42.120 so

01:00:42.700 whether

01:00:43.300 you

01:00:43.440 like

01:00:43.660 it

01:00:43.760 or

01:00:43.860 not

01:00:44.000 the

01:00:44.140 global

01:00:44.420 capitalist

01:00:45.620 system

01:00:46.180 has as

01:00:47.520 much

01:00:47.700 corruption

01:00:48.120 and

01:00:48.700 extraneous

01:00:49.700 interest

01:00:50.160 as

01:00:50.600 you

01:00:51.020 have

01:00:51.260 covered

01:00:51.480 even

01:00:52.000 global

01:00:52.740 capitalism

01:00:53.360 has

01:00:53.820 completely

01:00:54.260 morphed

01:00:54.860 from

01:00:55.020 what it

01:00:55.260 would

01:00:55.400 have

01:00:55.500 been

01:00:55.620 at

01:00:55.720 the

01:00:55.860 20th

01:00:56.640 century

01:00:56.780 but

01:00:56.860 the

01:00:57.880 promise

01:00:58.300 was

01:00:58.860 abundance

01:00:59.460 and

01:01:00.540 it

01:01:00.860 has

01:01:01.080 delivered

01:01:01.400 where

01:01:01.620 everything

01:01:01.860 else

01:01:02.040 has

01:01:02.180 failed

01:01:02.420 right

01:01:02.920 and

01:01:03.380 so

01:01:03.540 it

01:01:03.720 makes

01:01:03.980 it

01:01:04.180 really

01:01:04.540 the

01:01:04.780 only

01:01:05.160 viable

01:01:05.800 competitor

01:01:06.380 in

01:01:06.740 town

01:01:07.000 but

01:01:07.560 I'll

01:01:07.920 show

01:01:08.240 you

01:01:08.340 what I

01:01:08.460 mean

01:01:08.580 so

01:01:08.840 as

01:01:09.260 you

01:01:09.360 can

01:01:09.480 see

01:01:09.640 from

01:01:09.920 oil

01:01:10.320 reserves

01:01:10.760 per

01:01:11.040 country

01:01:11.660 Venezuela

01:01:12.580 should

01:01:13.120 be

01:01:13.400 one

01:01:13.680 of

01:01:13.820 the

01:01:13.980 richest

01:01:14.260 countries

01:01:14.740 in

01:01:14.940 the

01:01:15.080 world

01:01:15.400 it's

01:01:16.600 got

01:01:16.720 nearly

01:01:16.920 a

01:01:17.100 fifth

01:01:17.420 of

01:01:17.640 the

01:01:17.760 world's

01:01:18.180 oil

01:01:18.540 it's

01:01:18.860 got

01:01:18.960 more

01:01:19.120 than

01:01:19.300 Saudi

01:01:19.600 Arabia

01:01:21.000 it's

01:01:21.300 got

01:01:21.420 more

01:01:21.540 than

01:01:21.620 Iran

01:01:21.860 Iraq

01:01:22.280 Kuwait

01:01:22.740 everywhere

01:01:23.080 else

01:01:23.360 right

01:01:23.600 so

01:01:24.180 by a

01:01:24.740 long

01:01:25.000 way

01:01:25.280 as

01:01:25.480 well

01:01:25.660 after

01:01:26.080 Saudi

01:01:26.380 Arabia

01:01:26.760 right

01:01:27.400 it's

01:01:27.580 got

01:01:27.720 a

01:01:27.920 huge

01:01:28.360 amount

01:01:28.620 of

01:01:28.800 oil

01:01:29.080 and

01:01:29.960 yet

01:01:30.140 it's

01:01:30.540 despite

01:01:31.420 being

01:01:31.680 a

01:01:31.860 fifth

01:01:32.140 of

01:01:32.580 the

01:01:33.060 global

01:01:33.640 resources

01:01:34.220 of

01:01:34.460 oil

01:01:34.680 it

01:01:35.160 is

01:01:35.300 less

01:01:35.580 than

01:01:35.740 1%

01:01:36.300 of

01:01:36.580 production

01:01:36.980 this

01:01:37.220 is

01:01:37.380 I'm

01:01:37.560 just

01:01:37.700 going

01:01:37.820 to

01:01:37.860 draw

01:01:37.980 this

01:01:38.120 from

01:01:38.240 an

01:01:38.340 article

01:01:38.540 from

01:01:38.820 Investopedia

01:01:39.820 afterwards

01:01:41.000 but

01:01:41.920 less than

01:01:42.680 1%

01:01:42.980 of

01:01:43.100 global

01:01:43.340 production

01:01:43.740 so

01:01:44.340 the

01:01:44.540 world

01:01:44.720 is

01:01:44.860 producing

01:01:45.260 around

01:01:45.640 100

01:01:46.160 million

01:01:46.600 barrels

01:01:47.040 of

01:01:47.220 oil

01:01:47.360 a

01:01:47.520 day

01:01:47.780 and

01:01:48.300 Venezuela

01:01:48.580 is

01:01:48.880 producing

01:01:49.240 about

01:01:49.440 950

01:01:50.300 thousand

01:01:50.760 right

01:01:51.460 that's

01:01:52.040 crazy

01:01:52.560 that is

01:01:53.500 insane

01:01:54.200 the

01:01:54.480 production

01:01:54.880 used to

01:01:55.240 be a

01:01:55.480 lot

01:01:55.600 higher

01:01:55.940 and

01:01:56.060 actually

01:01:56.400 come

01:01:56.720 to

01:01:56.920 it

01:01:57.080 in

01:01:58.980 fact

01:01:59.580 in

01:02:00.000 1997

01:02:01.060 it

01:02:01.980 was

01:02:02.080 3.5

01:02:02.880 million

01:02:03.220 barrels

01:02:03.600 a

01:02:03.760 day

01:02:03.940 now

01:02:04.840 it's

01:02:05.160 900

01:02:05.500 thousand

01:02:06.040 for

01:02:06.680 reference

01:02:07.100 America

01:02:07.540 produces

01:02:08.000 13

01:02:08.760 million

01:02:09.160 barrels

01:02:09.760 of

01:02:09.920 oil

01:02:10.060 a

01:02:10.220 day

01:02:10.400 so

01:02:11.040 much

01:02:11.700 much

01:02:11.960 higher

01:02:12.180 so

01:02:12.540 you

01:02:12.720 can

01:02:12.920 by

01:02:14.000 comparison

01:02:14.620 to

01:02:14.840 what

01:02:14.980 they

01:02:15.080 potentially

01:02:15.400 have

01:02:15.780 to

01:02:16.140 what

01:02:16.260 they're

01:02:16.420 actually

01:02:16.760 producing

01:02:17.260 compared

01:02:17.800 to what

01:02:18.060 everyone

01:02:18.260 else

01:02:18.480 has

01:02:18.820 compared

01:02:19.420 to what

01:02:19.680 everyone

01:02:19.880 else

01:02:20.060 actually

01:02:20.280 producing

01:02:20.640 you

01:02:20.800 see

01:02:20.940 that

01:02:21.100 actually

01:02:21.500 Venezuela

01:02:22.260 is

01:02:22.700 artificially

01:02:23.620 crippling

01:02:24.120 itself

01:02:24.500 right

01:02:25.000 it

01:02:25.560 shouldn't

01:02:26.000 be

01:02:26.160 like

01:02:26.400 this

01:02:26.560 and

01:02:26.820 if

01:02:26.940 it

01:02:30.000 has

01:02:33.500 more

01:02:33.860 more

01:02:34.440 of an

01:02:34.620 ability

01:02:34.960 to

01:02:35.420 pick

01:02:36.220 and

01:02:36.420 choose

01:02:36.740 who

01:02:36.920 it

01:02:37.060 wants

01:02:37.260 to

01:02:37.440 sign

01:02:37.640 exactly

01:02:38.340 the

01:02:38.560 Saudis

01:02:38.880 are a

01:02:39.080 lot

01:02:39.160 more

01:02:39.300 pragmatic

01:02:39.740 they're

01:02:40.300 like

01:02:40.440 well

01:02:40.600 look

01:02:40.820 the

01:02:41.220 Americans

01:02:41.600 might

01:02:41.840 well

01:02:42.020 be

01:02:42.220 the

01:02:42.600 great

01:02:42.800 Satan

01:02:43.200 but

01:02:44.040 they're

01:02:44.260 the

01:02:44.380 great

01:02:44.640 Satan

01:02:45.000 with

01:02:45.200 a

01:02:45.320 lot

01:02:45.420 of

01:02:45.520 money

01:02:45.780 and

01:02:46.320 they

01:02:46.440 want

01:02:46.660 something

01:02:46.860 that

01:02:47.000 we've

01:02:47.160 got

01:02:47.420 the

01:02:47.720 Saudis

01:02:48.100 are

01:02:48.240 also

01:02:48.460 a

01:02:48.600 lot

01:02:48.680 wiser

01:02:49.060 with

01:02:49.280 their

01:02:49.440 money

01:02:49.640 the

01:02:49.840 Saudis

01:02:50.180 reinvested

01:02:50.900 it

01:03:00.000 what

01:03:00.780 that

01:03:01.000 effectively

01:03:01.840 meant

01:03:02.120 is

01:03:02.360 they

01:03:02.580 started

01:03:03.140 the

01:03:03.420 ball

01:03:03.600 rolling

01:03:04.020 and

01:03:04.480 once

01:03:04.760 you

01:03:04.860 get

01:03:04.980 some

01:03:05.280 welfare

01:03:05.580 you

01:03:05.780 get

01:03:05.900 more

01:03:06.100 and

01:03:06.200 more

01:03:06.340 and

01:03:06.460 more

01:03:06.680 to

01:03:07.020 the

01:03:07.140 point

01:03:07.300 where

01:03:07.500 it's

01:03:07.700 devouring

01:03:08.300 all

01:03:08.700 of

01:03:08.820 the

01:03:08.940 oil

01:03:09.180 wealth

01:03:09.480 and

01:03:09.700 also

01:03:09.980 crippling

01:03:10.520 the

01:03:10.700 industry

01:03:11.160 that

01:03:11.540 it

01:03:11.740 relies

01:03:12.140 on

01:03:12.440 and

01:03:13.120 it

01:03:13.280 didn't

01:03:13.580 reinvest

01:03:14.040 it

01:03:14.220 so

01:03:14.580 the

01:03:15.260 Trump

01:03:15.620 administration

01:03:16.060 said

01:03:16.420 that

01:03:16.760 Venezuela

01:03:17.720 appropriated

01:03:19.500 they stole

01:03:20.160 the oil

01:03:20.600 from America

01:03:21.200 which is

01:03:21.880 kind of

01:03:22.260 true

01:03:22.460 to be

01:03:22.740 honest

01:03:23.040 it

01:03:23.180 was

01:03:23.300 back

01:03:23.600 in

01:03:23.760 what

01:03:23.900 2008

01:03:30.000 they

01:03:30.540 annexed

01:03:31.720 oil

01:03:32.040 companies

01:03:32.440 that were

01:03:33.040 partially

01:03:33.540 owned

01:03:34.100 by us

01:03:35.480 and

01:03:35.940 various

01:03:37.260 other

01:03:37.560 investors

01:03:38.200 but

01:03:39.380 basically

01:03:40.240 yeah

01:03:40.480 that's

01:03:40.840 correct

01:03:41.140 under

01:03:41.380 Chavez

01:03:41.680 they did

01:03:42.740 appropriate

01:03:43.220 a bunch

01:03:43.680 of

01:03:43.960 oil

01:03:44.300 companies

01:03:45.040 and

01:03:45.720 the

01:03:46.020 infrastructure

01:03:46.700 they were

01:03:47.060 using

01:03:47.400 to pump

01:03:47.960 oil

01:03:48.200 based on

01:03:49.420 socialist

01:03:50.160 ideology

01:03:50.680 that these

01:03:51.400 things

01:03:51.660 ought to be

01:03:52.240 nationalized

01:03:52.700 they didn't

01:03:52.980 purchase

01:03:53.340 them or

01:03:53.600 anything

01:03:53.720 like

01:03:53.900 that

01:03:54.140 and

01:03:55.600 this

01:03:56.200 drove out

01:03:57.040 expertise

01:03:57.620 these

01:03:58.460 companies

01:03:58.860 were then

01:03:59.300 staffed

01:03:59.820 with

01:04:00.060 the

01:04:00.640 Venezuelan

01:04:01.680 national oil

01:04:02.240 companies

01:04:02.520 called the

01:04:02.900 PDVSA

01:04:03.780 which

01:04:04.600 stands for

01:04:05.340 something

01:04:05.640 expanded in

01:04:06.520 Spanish

01:04:06.820 which I

01:04:07.120 can't

01:04:07.280 remember

01:04:07.500 but they

01:04:08.780 staffed

01:04:09.100 them with

01:04:09.260 apparatchiks

01:04:09.820 who of

01:04:10.140 course

01:04:10.360 are not

01:04:11.000 experts

01:04:11.720 in drilling

01:04:12.200 oil

01:04:12.540 and this

01:04:13.760 seems to

01:04:14.320 be a

01:04:15.280 very key

01:04:15.980 contributing

01:04:16.460 factor to

01:04:17.060 why the

01:04:17.420 Venezuelan

01:04:17.900 economy

01:04:18.160 has completely

01:04:18.600 collapsed

01:04:19.020 there's

01:04:19.500 actually

01:04:19.760 an

01:04:20.320 amusing

01:04:20.640 anecdote

01:04:21.040 of

01:04:21.680 because

01:04:22.960 they were

01:04:23.400 so

01:04:23.620 concerned

01:04:24.080 the

01:04:24.400 regime

01:04:25.780 in

01:04:26.060 Venezuela

01:04:26.460 about

01:04:27.500 the oil

01:04:28.240 industry

01:04:28.640 turning

01:04:29.040 against

01:04:29.440 them

01:04:29.620 because

01:04:29.840 they're

01:04:30.000 so

01:04:30.180 dependent

01:04:30.560 on it

01:04:30.860 they

01:04:31.000 hadn't

01:04:31.400 diversified

01:04:32.100 their

01:04:32.300 industries

01:04:32.800 that they

01:04:33.460 were putting

01:04:33.820 in

01:04:34.060 loyalists

01:04:34.540 just to

01:04:34.940 ensure

01:04:35.360 that they

01:04:35.720 had

01:04:35.920 political

01:04:36.260 control

01:04:36.660 over it

01:04:37.120 and there

01:04:37.700 were people

01:04:38.080 who had

01:04:38.480 absolutely

01:04:38.940 no knowledge

01:04:39.560 of the

01:04:39.840 oil industry

01:04:40.440 whatsoever

01:04:41.040 but they

01:04:41.940 were loyal

01:04:42.360 to

01:04:42.740 Chavez

01:04:43.760 or Maduro

01:04:44.500 or whoever

01:04:45.220 it was

01:04:45.760 the continuity

01:04:46.500 of that

01:04:47.040 and it's

01:04:48.200 that same

01:04:48.720 thing that

01:04:49.200 happened to

01:04:49.820 a degree

01:04:50.460 with the

01:04:51.120 Soviet Union

01:04:51.660 of putting

01:04:52.580 in people

01:04:53.280 who weren't

01:04:54.300 necessarily

01:04:54.700 appointed

01:04:55.220 because of

01:04:55.740 their expertise

01:04:56.160 noble

01:04:56.440 whereas I

01:04:56.940 was a

01:04:57.200 librarian

01:04:57.600 or something

01:04:58.080 so I'm

01:04:58.620 over to

01:04:58.920 see the

01:04:59.200 nuclear

01:04:59.420 power plant

01:04:59.840 why

01:05:00.140 what are

01:05:00.920 you doing

01:05:01.320 here

01:05:01.680 well I'm

01:05:02.580 loyal to

01:05:02.900 the party

01:05:03.240 exactly

01:05:03.720 there we

01:05:04.060 go

01:05:04.220 and that's

01:05:05.240 exactly

01:05:05.600 the issue

01:05:06.900 that has

01:05:08.000 really crippled

01:05:08.800 Venezuela

01:05:09.140 so according

01:05:11.280 to folks

01:05:11.900 economics

01:05:12.420 Venezuela

01:05:14.420 between

01:05:15.320 2014

01:05:16.080 so Maduro

01:05:16.540 came in

01:05:16.860 in 2013

01:05:17.420 between

01:05:18.140 2014

01:05:18.700 and

01:05:18.980 2021

01:05:19.560 saw a

01:05:21.080 contraction

01:05:21.720 over

01:05:21.980 their

01:05:22.180 economy

01:05:22.680 of

01:05:23.460 75%

01:05:25.480 75%

01:05:29.080 it's

01:05:29.480 insane

01:05:29.960 sort of

01:05:31.120 unprecedented

01:05:31.760 in recent

01:05:32.640 times isn't

01:05:33.220 it

01:05:33.380 I mean

01:05:33.640 obviously

01:05:34.020 hyperinflation

01:05:34.900 and this

01:05:35.200 is why

01:05:35.440 you had

01:05:35.700 mass

01:05:36.000 starvation

01:05:36.560 right

01:05:37.120 75%

01:05:40.000 in

01:05:40.340 seven

01:05:41.540 years

01:05:41.920 that is

01:05:43.140 you would

01:05:44.520 have to be

01:05:45.420 willfully

01:05:46.320 destroying

01:05:46.760 your own

01:05:47.040 economy

01:05:47.320 to get

01:05:47.720 to that

01:05:47.940 point

01:05:48.140 right

01:05:48.320 it has

01:05:48.560 to be

01:05:48.720 a

01:05:48.900 deliberate

01:05:49.260 choice

01:05:49.840 well they

01:05:50.140 went from

01:05:50.600 the richest

01:05:51.020 country

01:05:51.420 in Latin

01:05:51.980 America

01:05:52.420 in the

01:05:52.960 1980s

01:05:53.820 to a

01:05:54.360 barter

01:05:54.700 economy

01:05:55.160 yeah

01:05:55.900 where they

01:05:56.860 were hunting

01:05:57.260 down rogue

01:05:57.780 cows in

01:05:58.360 the field

01:05:58.920 um

01:05:59.760 hyperinflation

01:06:01.400 they were

01:06:01.800 do you

01:06:02.000 not remember

01:06:02.320 that video

01:06:02.680 of them

01:06:03.120 oh no

01:06:03.720 a couple

01:06:03.960 of years ago

01:06:04.340 there's a

01:06:04.600 video

01:06:04.860 of Venezuela

01:06:06.040 with rocks

01:06:06.840 who found

01:06:07.920 a cow

01:06:08.320 and they're

01:06:08.640 just bludgeoning

01:06:09.120 this cow

01:06:09.440 to death

01:06:09.840 to carve

01:06:10.560 it up

01:06:10.740 and eat

01:06:11.000 it

01:06:11.220 it got

01:06:12.300 to the

01:06:12.520 point

01:06:12.640 where people

01:06:13.000 were using

01:06:13.460 eggs as

01:06:13.960 currency

01:06:14.340 because they

01:06:14.980 lasted

01:06:15.380 longer than

01:06:16.380 their actual

01:06:16.800 paper money

01:06:17.360 yeah

01:06:17.700 so they had

01:06:18.760 hyperinflation

01:06:19.480 widespread

01:06:19.760 poverty

01:06:20.180 and an

01:06:20.660 exodus of

01:06:21.420 million

01:06:21.680 Venezuelans

01:06:22.280 and that

01:06:22.480 was a

01:06:22.820 couple

01:06:22.960 of years

01:06:23.240 ago

01:06:23.460 it's

01:06:23.900 increased

01:06:24.160 since then

01:06:24.540 and so

01:06:25.500 the

01:06:25.800 communist

01:06:26.420 argument

01:06:26.780 will be

01:06:27.200 ah but

01:06:27.680 American

01:06:28.000 sanctions

01:06:28.580 have hurt

01:06:29.780 Venezuela

01:06:30.140 and that

01:06:30.860 is true

01:06:31.760 American

01:06:32.420 sanctions

01:06:32.840 have in

01:06:33.580 part

01:06:33.940 hurt

01:06:34.260 Venezuela

01:06:34.620 however

01:06:35.600 that's

01:06:36.240 not the

01:06:36.540 whole

01:06:36.740 story

01:06:37.220 and also

01:06:38.300 my thesis

01:06:39.360 being

01:06:39.780 this system

01:06:40.740 has failed

01:06:41.080 at its own

01:06:41.460 merits

01:06:41.840 if access

01:06:43.160 to capitalist

01:06:43.980 markets

01:06:44.480 is a

01:06:45.340 prerequisite

01:06:45.940 of the

01:06:46.600 socialist

01:06:46.920 dream

01:06:47.380 then you

01:06:48.640 can't

01:06:49.240 complain

01:06:49.700 when it

01:06:50.820 doesn't

01:06:51.080 work

01:06:51.440 right

01:06:51.940 because

01:06:52.180 your

01:06:52.340 goal

01:06:52.580 is to

01:06:52.820 overthrow

01:06:53.020 capitalism

01:06:53.680 therefore

01:06:54.320 what you're

01:06:54.660 saying

01:06:55.000 is

01:06:55.340 if we

01:06:55.900 don't

01:06:56.040 have

01:06:56.200 access

01:06:56.460 to

01:06:56.620 capitalist

01:06:56.880 markets

01:06:57.280 then

01:06:57.580 because

01:06:57.920 we're being

01:06:58.880 sanctioned

01:06:59.380 then our

01:06:59.820 economy

01:07:00.080 collapses

01:07:00.460 well then

01:07:01.080 if you

01:07:01.340 abolish

01:07:01.640 capitalism

01:07:02.080 you've

01:07:02.500 guaranteed

01:07:02.800 you

01:07:03.020 the

01:07:03.280 collapse

01:07:03.540 of your

01:07:03.660 economy

01:07:04.020 so this

01:07:04.640 has already

01:07:04.960 failed

01:07:05.280 right

01:07:05.660 so it's

01:07:06.300 intrinsic

01:07:06.880 that this

01:07:07.720 is not

01:07:08.140 purely

01:07:08.680 about the

01:07:09.280 United States

01:07:10.020 it's so

01:07:10.460 frustrating

01:07:10.860 having to

01:07:11.300 have this

01:07:11.600 argument

01:07:11.960 it's just

01:07:12.400 like oh

01:07:12.940 did all

01:07:13.940 of these

01:07:14.180 communist

01:07:14.440 countries fail

01:07:15.240 or socialist

01:07:15.760 countries

01:07:16.160 fail because

01:07:16.660 they couldn't

01:07:17.080 trade

01:07:17.420 well what

01:07:17.800 is trade

01:07:18.320 yes

01:07:19.180 yeah

01:07:19.640 exactly

01:07:20.140 but anyway

01:07:22.560 according to

01:07:22.940 the Council

01:07:23.680 on Foreign

01:07:23.980 Relations

01:07:24.340 they do

01:07:24.780 say yep

01:07:25.180 it's generally

01:07:26.200 agreed that

01:07:26.580 your sanctions

01:07:27.100 hurt

01:07:27.400 so there

01:07:28.260 is

01:07:28.560 it did

01:07:30.940 contribute

01:07:31.400 to the

01:07:31.740 collapse

01:07:32.060 but it's

01:07:32.680 not the

01:07:32.960 entire

01:07:33.260 thing

01:07:33.640 because

01:07:34.300 I mean

01:07:34.600 Venezuela

01:07:34.960 itself

01:07:35.540 faced

01:07:36.060 fuel

01:07:36.460 shortages

01:07:36.940 a couple

01:07:37.340 of years

01:07:37.640 ago

01:07:37.980 Venezuela

01:07:40.160 faced

01:07:41.020 fuel

01:07:41.620 shortages

01:07:42.300 the most

01:07:42.980 oil rich

01:07:43.400 country

01:07:43.780 in

01:07:44.020 your own

01:07:45.040 domestic

01:07:45.420 production

01:07:45.920 was not

01:07:46.300 sufficient

01:07:46.680 to meet

01:07:47.120 your domestic

01:07:47.520 needs

01:07:47.900 and so

01:07:48.580 in 2019

01:07:49.400 I think

01:07:49.900 it was

01:07:50.200 Iran

01:07:51.020 sent

01:07:51.880 shipments

01:07:52.400 of oil

01:07:53.020 to Venezuela

01:07:54.080 in defiance

01:07:55.320 of the US

01:07:55.840 sanctions

01:07:56.440 like sorry

01:07:57.700 you can't

01:07:58.400 say that

01:07:58.820 it's just

01:07:59.240 the US

01:07:59.620 sanctions

01:07:59.940 are we

01:08:00.240 sure this

01:08:01.240 is anything

01:08:01.640 to do

01:08:02.000 with communism

01:08:02.580 and might

01:08:03.020 not just

01:08:03.620 be a result

01:08:04.120 of the

01:08:04.400 Latin

01:08:04.640 American

01:08:05.040 work ethic

01:08:05.740 no no

01:08:06.460 no

01:08:06.680 this is

01:08:07.080 everybody

01:08:07.380 was on

01:08:07.880 siesta

01:08:08.320 no no

01:08:08.880 no

01:08:09.020 this is

01:08:09.400 not

01:08:09.560 because

01:08:09.780 it

01:08:10.140 didn't

01:08:10.980 used

01:08:11.120 to be

01:08:11.300 this

01:08:11.500 way

01:08:11.700 go back

01:08:12.180 a few

01:08:12.400 years

01:08:12.640 they were

01:08:12.900 still

01:08:13.080 Latin

01:08:13.340 Americans

01:08:13.820 were they

01:08:16.600 blonde haired

01:08:17.160 blue eyed

01:08:17.660 Latin

01:08:17.940 Americans

01:08:18.180 no they

01:08:18.420 were not

01:08:18.820 they're a

01:08:20.260 bit further

01:08:20.680 down in

01:08:21.180 Latin

01:08:21.440 America

01:08:21.740 true

01:08:22.200 anyway

01:08:24.280 so

01:08:25.540 what happened

01:08:26.940 to Venezuela's

01:08:27.580 oil

01:08:27.760 well let's

01:08:28.380 talk about

01:08:28.700 let's look

01:08:29.520 at the

01:08:29.700 Guardian

01:08:30.020 apparently

01:08:31.940 the vast

01:08:32.520 80% of

01:08:33.400 the crude

01:08:33.860 oil that's

01:08:34.260 produced in

01:08:34.660 Venezuela

01:08:34.900 is exported

01:08:35.500 to China

01:08:36.520 and of

01:08:37.460 course

01:08:37.780 this is a

01:08:38.560 problem

01:08:38.720 now they're

01:08:39.200 exporting it

01:08:39.680 to China

01:08:39.920 because China

01:08:40.380 is the largest

01:08:40.840 investor in

01:08:42.300 Venezuela

01:08:42.600 and so

01:08:43.520 they take

01:08:44.040 shipments of

01:08:44.720 oil as

01:08:45.320 repayment for

01:08:45.940 loans which

01:08:46.580 makes perfect

01:08:47.200 sense but

01:08:48.080 all of a sudden

01:08:48.600 you can see

01:08:49.020 why Donald

01:08:49.400 Trump is

01:08:49.720 like well

01:08:49.960 hang on a

01:08:50.640 second

01:08:50.860 you know

01:08:51.640 we're not

01:08:51.900 just allowing

01:08:52.480 this you're

01:08:53.160 not just

01:08:53.440 gonna not

01:08:54.020 only are you

01:08:54.300 gonna tank

01:08:54.660 your own

01:08:54.860 oil industry

01:08:55.240 which you

01:08:56.100 know we

01:08:56.320 wanted to

01:08:56.800 buy that

01:08:57.140 oil but

01:08:58.640 also you

01:08:59.200 are now

01:08:59.520 just the

01:09:00.040 majority of

01:09:01.260 your oil is

01:09:01.640 going to

01:09:02.420 our primary

01:09:03.140 geopolitical

01:09:04.460 competitor

01:09:04.980 like sorry

01:09:06.300 no we're

01:09:07.320 not having

01:09:07.820 it and to

01:09:08.380 be honest

01:09:08.640 with you

01:09:08.980 from a

01:09:10.440 strategic

01:09:10.800 perspective

01:09:11.360 you know

01:09:12.640 as much

01:09:13.040 of course

01:09:14.200 from a

01:09:14.480 geopolitical

01:09:15.080 perspective

01:09:15.520 absolutely

01:09:16.020 you can't

01:09:17.100 say it

01:09:17.340 doesn't

01:09:17.860 you can't

01:09:18.340 say it

01:09:18.540 doesn't

01:09:18.760 make sense

01:09:19.200 right

01:09:19.440 and so

01:09:20.900 I mean

01:09:21.260 we don't

01:09:21.640 know how

01:09:21.980 much

01:09:22.340 China has

01:09:23.040 loaned

01:09:23.540 Venezuela

01:09:23.860 but it

01:09:24.600 could be

01:09:24.880 somewhere in

01:09:25.220 the region

01:09:25.480 of a hundred

01:09:25.980 billion

01:09:26.440 dollars

01:09:26.960 and basically

01:09:29.120 what this

01:09:29.580 has done

01:09:29.800 is put

01:09:30.040 the screws

01:09:30.340 on China

01:09:30.760 because China

01:09:31.460 was getting

01:09:31.840 a lot of

01:09:32.420 oil out

01:09:32.940 of this

01:09:33.240 and then

01:09:34.380 we go to

01:09:35.280 NPR

01:09:35.740 just to talk

01:09:36.240 about well

01:09:36.660 why was

01:09:37.440 Venezuela

01:09:37.780 starving

01:09:38.280 and

01:09:39.240 let's assume

01:09:41.600 you've got

01:09:41.940 complete

01:09:42.380 sanctions

01:09:42.840 on your

01:09:43.320 country

01:09:43.740 Venezuela

01:09:44.800 is on

01:09:46.040 the equator

01:09:46.580 or near

01:09:47.840 the equator

01:09:48.320 and it has

01:09:49.420 a massive

01:09:49.880 amount of

01:09:50.280 oil

01:09:50.500 right

01:09:51.060 so if

01:09:51.600 there's

01:09:51.780 one thing

01:09:52.220 you could

01:09:52.840 do

01:09:53.340 it would

01:09:54.340 be farm

01:09:54.880 food

01:09:55.380 you have

01:09:56.880 tractors

01:09:57.420 you have

01:09:57.940 oil

01:09:58.320 you have

01:09:58.960 fertile

01:09:59.480 land

01:10:00.140 there is

01:10:02.040 no reason

01:10:02.880 you should

01:10:03.260 stop

01:10:03.420 I hate

01:10:03.840 to break

01:10:04.200 something

01:10:04.540 to you

01:10:04.940 but there's

01:10:05.360 the history

01:10:06.060 between

01:10:06.500 communists

01:10:07.100 and farming

01:10:07.700 I've heard

01:10:08.660 such a thing

01:10:09.180 the greatest

01:10:09.560 enemy of

01:10:10.100 communism

01:10:10.460 is not

01:10:10.860 capitalism

01:10:11.320 it is

01:10:11.820 agriculture

01:10:12.440 it really

01:10:13.280 is

01:10:13.520 and obviously

01:10:14.800 the Chavez

01:10:15.280 and Maduro

01:10:15.840 governments

01:10:16.240 annexed farms

01:10:17.180 and just

01:10:17.560 stole farms

01:10:18.360 off people

01:10:18.760 like literally

01:10:19.540 treating them

01:10:19.920 like kulaks

01:10:20.400 I remember

01:10:21.120 when I

01:10:21.520 covered this

01:10:22.260 and there

01:10:22.660 were anecdotes

01:10:23.520 from farmers

01:10:24.160 that when

01:10:24.700 party officials

01:10:25.580 or even

01:10:26.220 Maduro

01:10:27.280 or Chavez

01:10:27.800 himself

01:10:28.320 were visiting

01:10:28.920 a farm

01:10:29.480 they would

01:10:30.100 be absolutely

01:10:30.880 terrified

01:10:31.640 because they'd

01:10:32.240 just say

01:10:32.520 oh I like

01:10:33.040 this farm

01:10:33.400 this is nice

01:10:33.900 I'll have it

01:10:34.660 there's a

01:10:35.380 there's a

01:10:35.800 documentary

01:10:36.600 of Chavez

01:10:37.060 literally doing

01:10:37.780 that

01:10:37.940 some guy's

01:10:38.420 shop

01:10:38.700 and it's

01:10:39.480 just like

01:10:39.800 you thieves

01:10:40.840 right

01:10:41.160 but anyway

01:10:41.720 so in

01:10:42.360 2021

01:10:43.080 various groups

01:10:44.940 have found

01:10:45.280 that 42%

01:10:47.320 of the

01:10:48.840 ways that

01:10:49.820 we're measuring

01:10:50.200 children from

01:10:50.900 Venezuela's poorest

01:10:51.800 neighborhoods

01:10:52.480 were stunted

01:10:53.620 or wasted

01:10:54.360 as in too short

01:10:55.540 or underweight

01:10:56.060 for their age

01:10:56.660 right

01:10:57.420 so this is

01:10:58.140 really really

01:10:59.140 bad

01:10:59.620 as NPR

01:11:01.560 notable

01:11:02.380 right wing

01:11:02.760 outlet says

01:11:03.440 Venezuela's

01:11:04.480 food crisis

01:11:04.980 was largely

01:11:05.460 brought on

01:11:06.320 by its

01:11:06.580 authoritarian

01:11:06.960 socialist

01:11:07.460 government

01:11:07.920 unlike many

01:11:08.880 other nations

01:11:09.360 plagued by

01:11:09.780 malnutrition

01:11:10.420 Venezuela is

01:11:11.280 not at war

01:11:11.760 and boasts

01:11:12.260 an abundance

01:11:12.760 of fertile

01:11:13.220 land that

01:11:13.600 could be

01:11:13.900 used to

01:11:14.200 grow food

01:11:14.600 crops

01:11:15.060 the country

01:11:15.840 also stands

01:11:16.320 atop the

01:11:16.680 world's

01:11:17.640 largest proven

01:11:18.240 oral reserves

01:11:18.860 so it's

01:11:20.020 literally

01:11:20.820 ideological

01:11:21.560 socialism

01:11:22.240 that has

01:11:22.860 starved

01:11:23.840 Venezuela

01:11:24.400 into the

01:11:25.340 point where

01:11:25.620 nearly half

01:11:26.120 of their

01:11:26.360 children are

01:11:26.980 malnourished

01:11:27.620 right

01:11:28.300 so again

01:11:29.480 we can

01:11:29.900 complain

01:11:30.300 about the

01:11:30.860 global

01:11:31.100 capitalist

01:11:31.440 system

01:11:31.880 but our

01:11:32.580 children are

01:11:33.060 obese

01:11:33.480 so

01:11:34.120 we've got

01:11:35.680 the opposite

01:11:36.160 yeah exactly

01:11:36.740 we've got

01:11:37.020 the opposite

01:11:37.320 problem

01:11:37.740 but I'd

01:11:38.600 rather obesity

01:11:39.500 than malnourishment

01:11:40.260 you know what I mean

01:11:40.960 as they carry on

01:11:43.140 years of mismanagement

01:11:44.100 and corruption

01:11:44.540 have brought on

01:11:45.020 this worst

01:11:45.320 economic meltdown

01:11:45.960 in history

01:11:46.440 price controls

01:11:47.360 seizure of farms

01:11:48.060 and factories

01:11:48.480 by the government

01:11:48.960 led to food shortages

01:11:49.760 what a shock

01:11:50.620 hyperinflation

01:11:51.560 made it impossible

01:11:52.060 to afford groceries

01:11:52.860 and to alleviate

01:11:53.920 the suffering

01:11:54.480 the government

01:11:54.920 says it hands out

01:11:55.640 food to about

01:11:56.080 7 million

01:11:56.620 Venezuelan households

01:11:57.640 okay

01:11:58.560 don't steal it

01:12:00.560 off me in the

01:12:01.020 first place

01:12:01.440 and I don't

01:12:01.860 need your

01:12:02.180 handouts

01:12:02.740 but of course

01:12:04.360 everything is just

01:12:05.160 getting worse

01:12:05.700 and worse

01:12:05.940 and worse

01:12:06.180 and all of

01:12:06.580 these factors

01:12:07.000 they give a

01:12:07.500 load of

01:12:07.800 different

01:12:08.280 things that

01:12:09.180 the government

01:12:09.480 has done

01:12:10.000 has led to

01:12:10.780 widespread

01:12:11.040 malnutrition

01:12:11.700 and then

01:12:12.500 do you remember

01:12:13.780 this

01:12:15.060 venezuelan

01:12:16.940 that's the funny

01:12:17.580 thing about

01:12:18.340 communist

01:12:18.740 dictators

01:12:19.280 is they

01:12:19.760 always tend

01:12:20.380 to be a bit

01:12:20.760 plump

01:12:21.100 oh it's

01:12:22.180 yeah

01:12:22.400 but this

01:12:23.300 he's giving

01:12:23.900 an address

01:12:24.580 on tv

01:12:25.180 in 2013

01:12:25.900 and while he

01:12:28.180 thinks he's

01:12:28.740 off camera

01:12:29.440 he sneaks

01:12:31.220 this bite of

01:12:31.720 an empanada

01:12:32.160 but the thing

01:12:32.500 is it's still

01:12:32.920 on camera

01:12:33.280 so the

01:12:33.620 and these

01:12:34.280 these broadcasts

01:12:35.020 are mandatory

01:12:35.400 for all the

01:12:35.900 television stations

01:12:36.640 so everyone

01:12:37.560 in the country

01:12:38.200 sees this

01:12:39.120 fat bastard

01:12:40.080 saying yeah

01:12:41.200 sorry you're all

01:12:41.840 starving

01:12:42.160 it's going to

01:12:42.520 be a bit

01:12:42.800 rough

01:12:43.140 what are you

01:12:46.100 doing

01:12:46.640 wait till

01:12:47.480 after the

01:12:47.980 broadcast

01:12:48.360 to have your

01:12:48.680 lunch man

01:12:49.140 it could be

01:12:49.960 similar to

01:12:50.720 I know that

01:12:51.500 people who

01:12:52.220 treat people

01:12:53.140 with anorexia

01:12:53.860 all the time

01:12:54.480 have a problem

01:12:55.320 with sort of

01:12:56.200 empathy eating

01:12:56.980 maybe he's

01:12:58.500 just seeing

01:12:59.000 starving people

01:12:59.660 in the street

01:13:00.060 so often

01:13:00.700 it's like

01:13:01.220 oh I'm so

01:13:01.660 hungry

01:13:02.060 I guess

01:13:03.060 because he

01:13:04.180 cares too

01:13:05.040 much

01:13:05.500 I'm being

01:13:06.560 tongue-in-cheek

01:13:07.040 of course

01:13:07.400 it's just

01:13:08.340 comical

01:13:09.220 how evil

01:13:10.380 Maduro is

01:13:11.520 like how

01:13:12.920 unsympathetic

01:13:13.940 you have to

01:13:14.400 be at this

01:13:15.260 point

01:13:15.520 it's just

01:13:16.200 it's just

01:13:16.600 like waving

01:13:17.340 the cash

01:13:17.980 you've just

01:13:18.340 drawn out

01:13:18.720 in front of

01:13:19.080 a homeless

01:13:19.420 person

01:13:19.780 it's like

01:13:20.040 look what

01:13:20.440 you can't

01:13:20.960 have

01:13:21.260 but you

01:13:21.540 do that

01:13:22.000 Josh

01:13:22.360 I know

01:13:22.900 but enough

01:13:23.320 about my

01:13:23.820 you know

01:13:24.420 my weekend

01:13:25.380 plans

01:13:25.620 enough about

01:13:26.060 your new

01:13:26.400 years

01:13:26.720 so I saw

01:13:28.620 this post

01:13:29.080 this is what

01:13:29.720 inspired this

01:13:30.460 really

01:13:30.720 this is

01:13:31.700 from a chap

01:13:32.840 who was

01:13:33.240 the head

01:13:34.100 of trading

01:13:34.640 in the region

01:13:35.420 of Venezuela

01:13:36.060 for an American

01:13:37.540 food company

01:13:38.060 called Cargill

01:13:38.720 right

01:13:39.000 I thought I'd

01:13:39.700 just read this

01:13:40.220 because it

01:13:40.660 just from

01:13:41.820 personal experience

01:13:42.840 trying to

01:13:44.020 get food

01:13:44.760 in the

01:13:45.320 country

01:13:45.720 you see

01:13:46.720 the kind

01:13:47.060 of corruption

01:13:47.500 right

01:13:47.740 Cargill

01:13:48.160 was

01:13:48.440 is the

01:13:48.820 leading

01:13:49.020 producer

01:13:49.360 of

01:13:49.500 critical

01:13:49.720 staple

01:13:50.020 ingredients

01:13:50.380 such as

01:13:50.720 flour

01:13:50.920 pasta

01:13:51.200 vegetable oil

01:13:51.760 and rice

01:13:52.380 in Venezuela

01:13:52.900 I'm not

01:13:53.620 saying I agree

01:13:54.460 with grabbing

01:13:54.900 the dictator

01:13:55.400 but I did

01:13:55.800 have a front

01:13:56.220 row seat

01:13:56.520 to the damage

01:13:57.000 the kleptocracy

01:13:57.620 did to

01:13:57.960 innocent people

01:13:58.580 1 the government

01:13:59.780 took over

01:14:00.340 our minute rice

01:14:01.920 facility at

01:14:02.480 gunpoint

01:14:02.940 because we

01:14:03.480 were gouging

01:14:04.200 the nation's

01:14:04.800 poor

01:14:05.020 the government

01:14:05.700 was never

01:14:06.040 able to run

01:14:06.960 the plant

01:14:07.240 and never

01:14:07.520 ran again

01:14:08.000 it was returned

01:14:08.620 years later

01:14:09.060 with no

01:14:09.340 equipment inside

01:14:10.380 2 there are

01:14:11.300 thousands of

01:14:11.900 generals in the

01:14:12.400 army each

01:14:12.940 given a slice

01:14:13.420 to the economy

01:14:13.860 to loot

01:14:14.340 a large number

01:14:15.160 of generals

01:14:15.560 made it difficult

01:14:16.120 to organize a

01:14:16.740 coup against the

01:14:17.280 regime

01:14:17.600 3 the government

01:14:19.000 opened grocery

01:14:19.680 stores and sold

01:14:20.900 staples below

01:14:21.820 the cost we sold

01:14:22.580 them to the

01:14:22.920 government

01:14:23.180 in theory they

01:14:24.320 used petrol oil

01:14:24.960 money to lower

01:14:25.480 the grocery

01:14:25.960 prices

01:14:26.400 our regular

01:14:27.260 grocery outlets

01:14:27.920 were forced out

01:14:28.560 of business

01:14:29.080 when the people

01:14:30.040 when the government

01:14:30.560 demanded we sell

01:14:31.280 them products

01:14:32.120 below cost we

01:14:32.780 simply had to

01:14:33.320 shut down

01:14:33.940 the populace

01:14:34.940 became ever more

01:14:35.720 dependent on

01:14:36.320 government handouts

01:14:36.980 p.s this is what

01:14:37.680 maduro mandami wants

01:14:39.400 4 dollars we needed

01:14:41.320 dollars to buy raw

01:14:42.180 materials like wheat

01:14:43.020 from places like

01:14:43.640 us and canada

01:14:44.320 the government

01:14:45.020 would periodically

01:14:45.680 allocate us some

01:14:46.700 dollars that could

01:14:47.600 only be spent for

01:14:48.260 raw materials and

01:14:49.000 freight eventually

01:14:49.960 only the local

01:14:50.820 companies that can

01:14:51.640 and would pay

01:14:52.160 bribes got dollar

01:14:53.160 allocations we had

01:14:54.720 several facilities

01:14:55.480 closed for a lack

01:14:56.200 of raw material

01:14:56.900 and this is a

01:14:57.860 perpetual thing

01:14:58.720 about these sort

01:14:59.400 of tyrannical

01:14:59.800 governments the

01:15:01.580 corruption becomes a

01:15:02.800 liberating factor

01:15:03.600 it was the same

01:15:04.100 thing under fascist

01:15:04.920 italy you essentially

01:15:06.060 had to bribe the

01:15:06.760 party members to get

01:15:07.720 the raw resources

01:15:08.520 and if you don't do

01:15:09.660 that you don't get

01:15:10.380 it and sorry the

01:15:11.080 rest of your economy

01:15:11.680 just dies off with

01:15:13.220 it my employees

01:15:14.380 liked working for

01:15:15.020 cargill the office

01:15:15.740 was an armed

01:15:16.140 compound with access

01:15:16.900 to a gym blah blah

01:15:17.640 blah we provided

01:15:18.580 a safe and secure

01:15:19.260 environment if only for

01:15:20.320 the working hours

01:15:20.920 employees became very

01:15:21.960 close because going

01:15:22.900 into the street with

01:15:23.900 a desperate population

01:15:24.700 was not advisable

01:15:25.740 right and then he

01:15:26.940 carries on and as

01:15:27.840 you can see right

01:15:28.520 it's just this

01:15:29.020 continual theft from

01:15:31.480 any kind of private

01:15:32.640 investment obviously

01:15:33.760 because they're

01:15:34.040 socialists and this

01:15:35.680 leads to a society

01:15:38.460 that it just describes

01:15:39.280 a society that's

01:15:40.300 deeply and institutionally

01:15:42.040 corrupt at every level

01:15:43.160 that can't get anything

01:15:44.980 done right so even if

01:15:47.200 Venezuela was you know

01:15:49.100 a war with America if

01:15:50.340 it was a capitalist

01:15:50.860 economy it would have

01:15:51.520 been just fine it would

01:15:52.800 have been just fine you

01:15:54.100 could have been

01:15:54.620 thriving it could have

01:15:55.600 been thriving right I

01:15:56.600 mean the Russians are

01:15:57.540 actually showing us

01:15:58.380 actually it can be done

01:15:59.840 right Russia is

01:16:01.580 obviously under every

01:16:02.260 sanction you could

01:16:02.800 possibly think of with

01:16:03.480 America but the Russian

01:16:04.220 economy didn't collapse

01:16:05.100 and we're all carrying the

01:16:06.540 burden of the Ukraine

01:16:07.480 war right so it's not

01:16:09.220 that this can't be done

01:16:10.220 it's just don't be in a

01:16:11.580 weird ideological socialist

01:16:12.980 about it and it can be

01:16:14.460 done anyway so then

01:16:17.100 you've got Maduro

01:16:17.660 obviously stole the

01:16:18.920 election last time I

01:16:20.060 mean there's it's very

01:16:21.180 likely he stole previous

01:16:22.880 elections as well however

01:16:24.440 he definitely stole the

01:16:26.060 last one and even the

01:16:27.420 Guardian again you

01:16:28.860 couldn't think for more

01:16:30.200 pro-Venezuelan socialism

01:16:32.740 outlet than the Guardian

01:16:34.180 even they say quote

01:16:35.860 analyses carried out by

01:16:37.340 opposition academics

01:16:38.280 media organizations have

01:16:39.480 offered strong evidence

01:16:40.340 that the Venezuelan

01:16:41.280 president lost by a

01:16:42.500 landslide to the main

01:16:43.640 opposition candidate

01:16:44.960 retired diplomat

01:16:46.340 Emundo Gonzalez

01:16:47.460 so what have we learned

01:16:49.060 here well the

01:16:49.880 tyrannical socialist

01:16:51.280 government not only did

01:16:52.740 it burn bridges that it

01:16:53.960 relied on for a large

01:16:54.900 portion of his economy

01:16:55.720 it wasn't even capable of

01:16:57.400 running its own economy

01:16:58.360 outside of those issues

01:17:00.700 properly to the point

01:17:02.300 where people were starving

01:17:03.420 and the country has been

01:17:04.320 ruined and it's worth

01:17:06.160 remembering that this is

01:17:07.480 all part of Chavez's

01:17:09.140 plan Maduro was the

01:17:10.580 continuity candidate of

01:17:12.140 Chavez and he represents

01:17:13.720 something ideological he

01:17:15.400 represents a dream right

01:17:16.980 this is what some of his

01:17:18.400 supporters told the BBC in

01:17:19.520 2019 quote

01:17:20.720 he was more than an icon

01:17:22.360 he represented hope and

01:17:24.120 still does because his

01:17:25.140 ideas were revolutionary

01:17:26.120 he was all about social

01:17:27.520 equality and justice

01:17:28.560 he opened our eyes

01:17:29.880 created a national

01:17:30.880 conscience about how

01:17:32.320 Venezuela how to take

01:17:33.380 Venezuelan politics to

01:17:34.440 the people and this

01:17:35.600 chap's wife chimes in and

01:17:36.660 says before it was all

01:17:37.980 about rich people

01:17:38.740 politically powerful

01:17:39.460 people and we had

01:17:40.600 nothing Chavez loved us

01:17:42.800 sounds a touch brainwashed

01:17:47.440 to me it sounds like you

01:17:49.140 arrived in exactly the

01:17:50.200 position that you thought

01:17:51.040 you were in before

01:17:51.740 oh my god yes it's it's

01:17:55.400 he's got his little shrine

01:17:56.560 yes he's literally got a

01:17:58.380 shrine right so it's a

01:17:59.320 political cult that has

01:18:01.820 taken over this country

01:18:02.940 absolutely ruined them and

01:18:05.360 sitting there going well we

01:18:06.500 had nothing before it was

01:18:07.420 all about the politically

01:18:08.000 powerful people and they're

01:18:09.720 sat there starving to death

01:18:10.720 with absolutely no money no

01:18:11.760 oil no prospects it's like

01:18:13.440 right so it's not about

01:18:15.080 reality it's about ideology

01:18:16.500 and this ideology has failed

01:18:18.440 on its own terms this

01:18:20.180 ideology has to be pretty

01:18:21.440 potent for you to worship

01:18:23.060 an idol of a squinting man

01:18:25.620 with a great big double

01:18:26.700 chin I was gonna say a fat

01:18:28.300 man yeah all your stuff

01:18:29.780 again weird how socialist

01:18:31.040 dictators in Latin America

01:18:32.220 get so fat and again maybe

01:18:33.360 maybe it's like you know

01:18:34.140 like Shaolin monks praising

01:18:35.460 Buddha or something when

01:18:36.480 they're like stick thin yeah

01:18:37.960 they're trying to manifest

01:18:39.080 food one grain of rice a day

01:18:40.480 how big was the grain of

01:18:42.660 rice well it was

01:18:43.720 empanada sized anyway so

01:18:46.260 the reason I'm saying all

01:18:47.460 this is that this is just

01:18:48.580 an idea whose time has

01:18:49.360 passed right and it's clear

01:18:50.500 that global capitalism has

01:18:51.960 defeated this and this has

01:18:53.640 failed on its own terms

01:18:54.460 right you you had this

01:18:56.080 dictatorship under Chavez

01:18:57.620 and under Maduro for a

01:18:59.180 long time and it just

01:19:00.360 didn't work and so Jeremy

01:19:01.640 Corbyn is the kind of last

01:19:04.260 holdout of this in Britain

01:19:05.420 and again it's just important

01:19:06.980 to note that this has just

01:19:07.940 failed on its own terms

01:19:09.320 right okay so we are all in

01:19:28.880 agreement now and it's just

01:19:30.520 it's just irrefutably obvious

01:19:32.400 that this was not the way to

01:19:35.100 get abundance right this

01:19:36.780 didn't bring about social

01:19:37.680 justice or equality what it

01:19:39.220 brought about was a corrupt

01:19:40.380 tyrannical kleptocracy that

01:19:42.620 ruined the country ruined its

01:19:43.720 international standing and

01:19:45.180 literally caused half the

01:19:46.840 children in the country to end

01:19:47.740 up malnourished and starving to

01:19:49.340 death right so you can

01:19:50.940 imagine how Jeremy Corbyn has

01:19:52.620 taken this stuff oh sorry this

01:19:54.640 is I forgot I'd included this

01:19:56.640 this is from 2013 where Jeremy

01:19:59.520 Corbyn rings Maduro's radio

01:20:01.840 shirt to congratulate him on a

01:20:03.640 job well done towards building

01:20:05.140 socialism watch it it's in

01:20:07.540 Spanish but you'll be able to

01:20:08.580 understand it

01:20:09.280 ahora tenemos una llamada me

01:20:10.860 dicen desde Londres desde

01:20:14.640 Londres tenemos una llamada de un

01:20:17.000 amigo de Venezuela en contacto con

01:20:19.760 Maduro desde Londres se trata de

01:20:22.600 Jeremy Corbyn parlamentario

01:20:25.620 británico militante y dirigente del

01:20:29.300 partido laborista en estos días

01:20:32.200 tuvimos una noticia muy triste

01:20:35.760 falleció Tony Ben a los 88 años

01:20:39.160 tenemos a Jeremy Corbyn que nos está

01:20:41.760 llamando desde Londres y a propósito

01:20:44.020 recordamos a este gran amigo de

01:20:46.400 Venezuela adelante Jeremy te

01:20:49.100 escuchamos desde Caracas Venezuela un

01:20:51.420 gran abrazo

01:20:52.800 muchísimas gracias presidente soy Jeremy

01:20:57.860 Corbyn el deputado del parlamento

01:20:59.800 británico y también un amigo muy muy

01:21:03.460 bueno de Tony Ben ahora es muy triste el

01:21:07.460 murió la semana pasada es una vida de la

01:21:12.200 lucha contra las guerras

01:21:14.360 so I'll stop it there because you can

01:21:15.900 tell that's Jeremy Corbyn's voice but

01:21:17.480 yeah he doesn't speak bad Spanish

01:21:19.740 actually he speaks very good Spanish

01:21:21.000 because his wife is Spanish

01:21:21.920 oh that'll do it

01:21:22.860 oh he doesn't do the uniburo por favor

01:21:26.140 love to her at home

01:21:27.560 here we go so he's got here where he

01:21:30.320 says and Corbyn says this we discussed

01:21:32.500 many times the problems for building

01:21:34.300 socialism and the fight against

01:21:35.600 capitalism well I'm sorry I think

01:21:37.880 you've lost that right I don't think

01:21:40.020 you've built socialism or if you have

01:21:41.580 that was real socialism there's not

01:21:42.960 really much old world socialism

01:21:45.020 anymore is there no it's vanishing

01:21:46.840 from the world exactly and again I

01:21:49.020 think the use of the old terms like

01:21:51.360 capitalism to describe whatever the

01:21:53.220 hell we've got on the and all over

01:21:55.540 the world these days they're all

01:21:57.500 anachronisms yeah I agree but

01:21:59.320 whatever it is that Corbyn is

01:22:01.380 describing capitalism like the

01:22:02.660 international system western liberal

01:22:04.820 globalism or something whatever we

01:22:06.200 want to call it they've lost right

01:22:07.920 this is an idea whose time has failed

01:22:09.780 it has passed they did not produce

01:22:11.880 abundance they did not produce a

01:22:13.500 successful democratic society they

01:22:15.180 produced the exact opposite and so

01:22:16.480 this is why I think there's something

01:22:18.520 about Trump just you know kidnapping

01:22:20.500 Maduro that's kind of I don't know

01:22:22.880 it just feels like it's just putting a

01:22:24.660 full stop at the end of a sentence

01:22:26.040 right it's just kind of yeah this is

01:22:27.700 over right you're getting global

01:22:29.020 capitalism and then you're also

01:22:31.040 going to get food right so like well

01:22:34.580 you know you can complain about as

01:22:36.220 much as you want which Jeremy Corbyn

01:22:37.380 is he he gave an emergency protest

01:22:39.560 hands off Venezuela it's over it's

01:22:42.800 over bro you look like an impotent

01:22:44.600 child all they need is one American

01:22:46.880 tourist and they'll be like wow

01:22:49.060 America must be prosperous what a very

01:22:52.480 very fat man oh yeah of course yeah

01:22:55.100 and Corbyn of course thought Maduro was

01:22:57.980 a legitimate president and he was been

01:23:00.360 removed illegally and so it's just like

01:23:02.940 look this is this is just a series of

01:23:05.260 ideas whose time have passed right it's

01:23:07.140 over this doesn't work for the modern

01:23:08.800 world the modern world is so terribly

01:23:10.220 different to the world in which this

01:23:12.680 sort of thing was conceived and the

01:23:15.160 20th century has been the long history

01:23:16.580 of the failure the long century of the

01:23:18.020 failure of socialism and this is

01:23:19.640 basically the very tail end of it right

01:23:21.940 these ideas do not work and you can

01:23:24.820 see that Corbyn's currently polling

01:23:26.000 like one percent so it's not even that

01:23:27.840 they have managed to capture the

01:23:30.060 imagination of the British public or

01:23:31.500 anything like that Corbyn looks like

01:23:33.000 a relic these people look like relics

01:23:35.560 this they're you know and I'm not

01:23:37.360 saying that I'm in favor of the global

01:23:38.980 corporate system that is going to take

01:23:40.500 over and do all these things but it's

01:23:41.900 just like the reality on the ground is

01:23:44.340 that things have changed the world has

01:23:46.080 changed and they failed to change with

01:23:48.200 them I mean it makes sense that Corbyn

01:23:50.780 would support Maduro I mean the first

01:23:52.300 thing the party did was run a phishing

01:23:54.600 email scam yeah and and not just that

01:23:57.880 but I still can't believe that's the

01:24:00.060 first thing well Corbyn ran your party

01:24:03.540 in the same sort of way that he

01:24:04.920 ideally would run the country and how

01:24:06.320 he thinks people like Maduro and

01:24:07.960 Chavez were running as well yes show

01:24:09.620 yes yes no that's exactly it and so

01:24:12.120 the whole thing is just collapsing from

01:24:13.500 the inside in exactly the same way it's

01:24:15.240 just Corbyn doesn't have access to men

01:24:16.580 with guns if you had access to men with

01:24:18.540 guns

01:24:19.040 give us your email address right now you

01:24:23.980 would give it over right let's go to the

01:24:25.620 video comments I'm not even joking

01:24:31.820 though it's so funny Corbyn's party just

01:24:35.780 failed on exactly the same model just

01:24:37.320 really really quickly it's the ideology

01:24:40.120 manifesting in every you know area of

01:24:42.640 their life it happens on their personal

01:24:44.140 you know lives as well as in their

01:24:45.740 organizations as well yeah there's a lot

01:24:49.520 of speculation about US involvement in

01:24:51.080 Venezuela right now but just as everyone

01:24:52.540 understands that Elon does half the

01:24:53.940 things he does because he's a nerd like

01:24:55.320 setting Tesla stock at $420 it's just as

01:24:57.620 clear that Donald Trump is a nerd making

01:24:58.980 references this is clearly a nod to

01:25:00.420 2013's Call of Duty Ghosts in which the

01:25:02.460 USA sends in a special forces team to

01:25:04.080 Caracas to kill a Venezuelan leader or

01:25:06.100 maybe it's a nod to cyberpunk in the

01:25:07.340 second South American war in which

01:25:08.720 Venezuela is a combatant or maybe it's a

01:25:10.860 reference to Doctor Who in the record

01:25:12.120 time in which the heroes capture the

01:25:13.360 villain

01:25:13.620 3 minutes 42 seconds

01:25:18.160 I'm not even sure it's a reference to

01:25:21.360 anything I think it's just been

01:25:22.400 something that's been long on the cards

01:25:23.820 yeah I think Americans like shock and

01:25:26.440 awe well this wasn't shock and awe though

01:25:28.720 was it well well just for surgical well

01:25:31.000 that that's the thing the efficiency and

01:25:33.100 surgical nature and then also blowing up

01:25:35.340 Chavez's Chavez's crypt or whatever it

01:25:39.160 was that's the shock and awe aspect of it

01:25:41.700 that's what you're supposed to see on the

01:25:43.080 international stage and go all right

01:25:44.700 don't mess with them is that so he

01:25:46.620 couldn't come back from the dead I can

01:25:48.600 only assume so let's go to the next one

01:25:50.980 I'd love to see that little soy boy come

01:25:53.600 up here and mess with me you all know he

01:25:56.600 ain't gonna say anything to my face

01:25:58.600 Chad he's at my bedroom door what what what do I do

01:26:07.880 I have no idea what the audio from that is from but that was I assume it's AI yeah I assume it's AI as well which is honestly political

01:26:30.780 memes is the one good thing about AI yeah genuinely it would take too long to get all that sort of stuff made

01:26:37.300 it is funny that the guy was like literally last week he was dancing on the stage like oh you can't get me bang oh I guess I got got and now he's in now he's in New York going not not guilty mate you might as well just not even put in a plea come on

01:26:53.920 also we got cranky Texan oh yeah for $10 socialism is not political or economic system it's a propaganda campaign to get massive to celebrate concentration wealth into the small hand hands of a small group of elites um no I think it's honestly about an idealistic cult I really think it's the because I mean he was done be both yeah sure it can be both but like use the cult to but I use it I think the cult is a genuine true belief like he was singing John

01:27:19.400 Lennon's Imagine the other week right yeah he's on stage seeing John Lennon's Imagine it's genuinely a set of beliefs it's a religious precept for them you know they genuinely believe it and they turn the entire country into a weird cult and it failed on its own terms uh Scotty says uh I wouldn't call for the death of a group of anything I didn't say anything I said any people right because he says well wasps mostogitos the bugs yeah yeah obviously I'm happy for the total wasp death

01:27:43.220 um throwing ticks in there they're horrible yeah total tick death also they can make you allergic to meat some in america that's right the lone star tick yeah but these are the engineered do wasps super ticks yeah wasps contribute anything important to the ecosystem they kill other insects yeah but so do spiders yeah but I was gonna say loads of things I prefer a wasp to a spider really what spiders can't hurt you I know but they're creepier spiders are fine they can't go for your neck yeah but I've never been stung by a

01:28:13.200 a wasp all you need to do it's like dinosaurs you've never been stung by a spider I've been bitten by a spider oh okay but it's not like a and you didn't even get any superpowers I didn't no wonder you're salty I know Omar says he's got cravings for flies laborers so consistently true south on every issue that's generally remarkable they haven't stumbled upon a single positive result by pure chance you almost have to assume some kind of directed malice behind the scenes as the probability of being this bad by accident is increasingly absurd yeah that is a great point I mean like if you throw enough darts at the board

01:28:43.120 you're going to hit the board you're going to hit the board eventually but labor have managed to successfully fail at every point I think it's fair to assume malice to be honest because they're they clearly hate us yeah and have said as much and import people who do so and side against us at every opportunity

01:28:59.540 d'argeny says to be fair if I were a security guard and I somehow stumbled on an armored tactical squad of special forces on my nightly rounds patrolling the president's palace I'm not resisting either I didn't see anything I called sick on that day actually I should go home

01:29:14.760 well do you want to know something funny that's even that's even more expressive of how much of like an old school tyrant it was like his personal bodyguards weren't even Venezuelan they were Cuban

01:29:25.200 of course they were and they all got killed of course they were they all got that's straight out of Aristotle yes like they will hire foreigners to protect themselves because they can't trust you

01:29:34.740 well you can't and but this is the point like it's a regime whose time has come and sorry I'm not really very sympathetic and also what's interesting is that Trump has set himself up as kind of do you know anything about the assassins the original order of assassins

01:29:47.760 right but oh what from assassins creed no from history the historic ones in the middle east yeah I can't remember the guy's name now um but the this guy sets up like this order of assassins that basically sets itself up as a kind of shadow empire above empires because what they do is literally send assassins sneak you know they literally brainwash them into some weird cult using drugs and all these sort of you know religious precepts and then they send these assassins in to people's uh to emperor's uh chambers and either assassinate them

01:30:17.580 or like stab a knife into the floor next to them or something like that shouldn't the bin but show them look you are you are actually vulnerable to us is what we're saying and so you will just pay us some tribute and just you know you'll stay away from this you'll do that or whatever it is but you we have an indirect intimidatory control of you now and that's what Donald Trump has gained because basically he's saying look I could just vanish you in the night you can end up in New York on trial if you like you know so you know what's her name shine bomb or whatever Mexico the guy from Colombia is next

01:30:47.400 just just wind your necks in basically and so he's got this kind of assassin like power there which is it's a really interesting I mean the annoying thing is um that the administration is now at the same time trying to use the extra points that they've gained from there to act belligerent again towards its own vassals and allies Denmark towards Denmark like it's like guys like engage in diplomacy yeah like we know that you're the world empire that's great you do still need allies to work with you because if you

01:31:17.380 make everything if you turn life onto hard mode for yourselves like empires stretch thin and they do fall eventually but I saw the the best cunning drugper meme about that where it's like Mads Mikkelsen just reading a paper and America is just like ha what do you think of that Denmark and he's what what hello what's Denmark ever done take that Denmark you know and the thing is you could just as well the Danish government I know they're the social democrats but in terms of how they handle immigration are generally praised as being much better than

01:31:47.360 than a lot of other central European countries so you'd think that they would be what a government that the Trump administration would be very favorable you don't need like you can there's this diplomacy thing if you want more bases on Greenland just like you could literally do like the British did with Hong Kong and lease it for 99 years and then 100 years see how things are you know you might want to lease it again in front of the 99 who knows you know but you pay the Danes a certain amount no diplomatic problems you get what you want exactly blah blah they already do that in Britain

01:32:15.360 yeah loads of American bases we're fine and it's just so bizarre California refugee says it's the same as it ever was the globalist left and the globalist right we had it in 2011 with Occupy Wall Street left and right saw the real enemy feminism killed it killed it I'm tired boss yeah but I mean on the plus side right at least something has happened right when nothing ever happens everything just remains in the same sort of torpid state but at least something has happened and the results might be good the results might be bad but at least something new will come about and will

01:32:45.340 be somewhere else in the future so that's my view on it anyway thanks for joining us folks we'll be back tomorrow so have a good day and we'll see you then
