Hello, and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters episode 1335 on today, Monday.
00:00:08.780
Welcome to the week, folks. I'm your host, Harry, joined by Carl and Firaz.
00:00:14.480
A few shoutouts to start off with. First of all, we have the new-based goth mugs, which have just arrived.
00:00:21.360
These are the ones that we've had sent to the office specially, and they are sultry and fantastic,
00:00:26.380
so pick yourself one up off of the website if you would like one.
00:00:31.100
We also have Islander, still available, but while stocks last, for £14.99, again, on the merch website.
00:00:38.700
This is possibly my favourite issue yet, so it's well worth picking yourself up one.
00:00:44.920
Also, special thanks to our Gold Tier subscriber, Jan Havi, who sent us in, I believe, a load of Ferrero Rocher,
00:00:52.360
and this, which I did get working before we started, but now can't seem to wrap my head back around.
00:00:59.640
What it's supposed to be is like a wine glass where, when you twirl around it...
00:01:06.980
I don't know if your microphone's going to be picking that up,
00:01:10.180
but if I run this along the edge, it sings like a wine glass.
00:01:17.120
So, this is surely, for all of the autists in the office, of which there are many,
00:01:26.940
Thanks for destroying our productivity, Jan Havi.
00:01:29.560
Last thing before we get into the news, which is going to be in a moment,
00:01:34.100
is just Firaz is doing a live RealPolitik after the podcast at 3 o'clock,
00:01:41.280
Understanding the Atlantic Ocean as America's marionostrum,
00:01:46.800
that basically all of Trump's strategy is about consolidating over the Atlantic
00:01:51.080
to facilitate a conflict with China should one break out, basically.
00:01:58.260
Well, if you're interested in that, and even if you're not, watch it anyway,
00:02:01.960
because you're subscribed to the website, get your money's worth,
00:02:14.520
you're going to be talking about the Insurrection Act?
00:02:22.600
You're going to be talking about a certain LARPing night out
00:02:26.900
for a bunch of our favourite red pill, manosphered neo-Nazi?
00:02:38.760
And I've taken the perilous journey into Candace Owens' mind.
00:02:46.880
Yeah, we've gone very strange places this podcast.
00:02:56.580
So, I'm sure you've been seeing the news from Minnesota,
00:03:00.780
the Minneapolis police have pretty much given up.
00:03:05.040
They're allowing people to go around the streets
00:03:49.520
There was an incident where somebody had his camera stolen
00:03:54.620
and that the police tell him to pretty much get lost.
00:04:00.860
And this is coming at the direction of the governor
00:04:12.960
It's very clear that Waltz was coming up to the line.
00:04:17.540
Where he was threatening to use the state guard
00:04:36.260
But still, with the fact that he's taken himself
00:04:46.580
Well, but he is up to his ears by the look of things
00:04:49.900
in the fraud rings that the Somalis are engaged in.
00:05:12.920
supposedly shared all kinds of secrets to the Chinese.
00:05:17.700
But he's been calling on ICE to leave the state.
00:05:22.880
And he's been calling on no immigration enforcement,
00:05:36.760
that there shouldn't be immigration enforcement
00:05:41.800
Now, when you look at the questions that this imposes,
00:06:02.600
because they have a client group that they benefit from?
00:06:07.340
And is it the case that every time somebody opens the border,
00:06:12.140
that's it, their feet have touched American soil
00:06:17.620
and therefore no further enforcement of the law is permissible?
00:06:23.000
because, I mean, this, it seems to just be deranged
00:06:34.340
We can't be seen to be cooperating in any way, shape, or form
00:06:40.360
But that means, I mean, I saw Trump had posted,
00:06:50.980
look, we're on our way to catch a child rapist and deport him.
00:06:56.080
And, you know, to the screeching, libtard women.
00:07:00.020
Why are you trying to prevent us from doing this?
00:07:03.580
And part of the question that that brings up also is,
00:07:17.540
And it's starting to take on the sort of aspect of,
00:07:20.860
like, feudal lords rebelling against the king, right?
00:07:28.860
than the elected president of the United States?
00:07:39.600
or what the constitution of the United States says?
00:07:45.760
On paper, Trump should have more authority than them.
00:07:54.240
if not to be able to just block these measures entirely,
00:07:57.840
they are able to make it a hell of a lot more difficult.
00:08:03.500
And is Trump going to actually stamp his authority on this?
00:08:16.140
Whenever the president considers that unlawful obstructions,
00:08:24.340
make it impractical to enforce the law of the United States
00:08:27.660
in any state by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings,
00:08:32.020
he may call into service such of the militia of any state,
00:08:50.240
And the issue is, if you refuse to enforce federal law,
00:09:11.580
this is particularly important in America as well
00:09:34.500
against the authority of the United States itself.
00:16:20.060
is the question that he's actually asking there.
00:16:55.760
And you see the politics of envy and resentment.
00:17:03.060
And it's not like these guys are in rags or anything.
00:17:20.000
Yeah, they're better off than all of these people.
00:17:37.060
called Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act.
00:17:54.480
interferes with anybody going to a place of worship,
00:18:01.160
and can be tossed in jail and so on and so forth.
00:18:26.300
like it genuinely is a form of human sacrifice.
00:18:37.880
That's literally the rationale they have for abortion.
00:18:54.720
Apparently he was one of the ringleaders in this.
00:19:00.060
that people are running away traumatized from church
00:19:13.020
Just FYI, this guy, Don Lemon's from Louisiana.
00:19:16.560
Like, he's probably not used to the temperature there, right?
00:19:30.000
other than apparently organizing activists these days anyway?
00:24:00.680
And so if he is playing his hand intelligently,
01:22:47.840
essentially the an expressed desire a repressed
01:23:35.760
and i i want to like the boys but i had to stop after like season three
01:23:43.800
it was just becoming such obvious shit lib propaganda i just couldn't bother i mean it's
01:23:48.480
a seth rogan eric kripke show of course it's gonna be just a reminder this is available on
01:23:52.800
the website and and you know i'm and i'm fine that i can cope with that you know you okay yeah
01:23:57.660
you do the the normal libtard stuff but like homelander was at least an interesting character
01:24:03.040
right now it's about essentially destroying homelander's cool as the evil villain well
01:24:09.260
yeah because you liked you liked the show for the wrong reasons i did yeah so they have to ruin the
01:24:15.020
show now exactly exactly that's exactly what it is uh and it's it's kind of sad you know see what put
01:24:20.980
me off season three was that one of the opening scenes was a tiny man in another man's penis yeah
01:24:25.700
i wasn't a fan uh just the the sheer level of gross out in that show just was way too much for me and
01:24:31.500
the plot and characters uh weren't in incentive enough for it
01:24:35.360
we've got positive feedback from our writing at long last oh good was it the representation of a
01:24:43.140
person coming to terms of their death uh no was it the ambiguous nature of humanity choosing between
01:24:48.800
revenge and mercy when placed in a newfound position of power no the historical comedy involving a fist
01:24:54.400
fight with the grim reaper nope nor the horror short set in swindon no then what was it
01:25:01.500
and off the cuff story about stand-ins for jeremy corbyn and zara sultana being seized by our
01:25:06.260
company wordsmith productions as a reference to the capture of nicholas maduro well get to right in
01:25:12.660
then there you go um and we've got the uh yeah on the website we've got a few more minutes
01:25:22.780
uh someone online says ice has been doing early morning rays because no leftist can get out of bed
01:25:27.400
before noon so they don't encounter treasonous mobs ha ha uh hector says harmeet dylan is already
01:25:33.800
going after the church people she gets shit done who's harmeet dylan she's uh i think an assistant
01:25:40.000
attorney general or something like that oh what in minnesota or uh no federal level trump right
01:25:44.860
i mean it'd have to be federal wouldn't it yeah roman observer says a strange assumption from the
01:25:49.980
lefty protesters church equals law abiding ice supporters yes that's exactly right yeah probably
01:25:56.080
more likely than not um dylan he says are these uh these the far right radical talking heads not
01:26:04.380
only am i unimpressed but i think we might truly be cooked if these are who the far right is sending
01:26:08.740
uh yeah oh i mean one of the purposes of promoting a lot of those guys is to frankly clown jacket
01:26:14.800
dissidents uh it's going to make it uncool one of the things that drew people to uh dissident
01:26:21.220
anti-establishment politics in the past was that it was cool yep if people see all of that they're
01:26:26.820
going to go this is lame man and how is it any different to the cringe leftists that have been
01:26:32.640
promoted everywhere anyway yeah uh george says while i find nightclubs incredibly cringe this event
01:26:39.360
upsetting all the right people is a positive the thing is i don't even see any lefties upset about this
01:26:44.080
yeah i haven't either that's the thing like the venue's like oh yes of course we disavow this
01:26:48.200
blah blah yeah yeah exactly but you know they haven't even been banned from the club
01:26:52.480
if they got banned from the club okay makes sense but they would say oh no we're just against this
01:26:58.060
and it'll go away tomorrow and nothing will have changed and it'll be like okay what was the point
01:27:02.080
of that um henry says the whole night out feels like someone tried to film a live action south park
01:27:07.520
episode kind of and again it's like there's something really cringe about it because like
01:27:12.740
yeah i mean you go to a club of your mates you get drunk you you hang out and you have a good
01:27:16.940
time fine you know that's fine that's that's fine but it's also performative and they're also sober
01:27:23.480
and so nothing actually unusual or random is happening or funny you know anything like that
01:27:28.120
so it looks stilted lord inquisitor hexer rex has a request which i believe we should try to honor
01:27:33.260
uh i want the lotus eaters to remake this night out but it's all catholic hymns and them drinking fine
01:27:39.040
liquor and we can do it but we won't film it exactly because there's no way you're gonna get
01:27:45.840
me on camera just for an entire night out yeah yeah i'd never let that happen hosep says imagine
01:27:52.540
being a normie woman going to a club and a bunch of spastics are there
01:28:01.940
you go to a club and there's couples of the police heil hitler comes out the speaker just like what
01:28:14.380
oh uh cumbering kulak says candace i suggest you have a look at jimmy dole's videos about
01:28:22.520
clipping websites well i don't watch much candace uh i do find this massive coordinated media attack
01:28:27.620
on her suspicious uh she has legit questions about charlie the thing is you weren't clipping were you
01:28:32.480
no i i've i've seen the clips and then i went to her channel to watch some of the more recent videos
01:28:37.720
that she'd done speaking about it and uh i understand that you're saying that she's at she
01:28:42.660
has legit questions about charlie kirk's death i think she has asked those questions yeah i think
01:28:48.440
the threads that she is following now are not leading anywhere well the the thing is in the end
01:28:53.860
of the comment it says do better let's just don't be scared truth doesn't fear interrogation
01:28:57.180
if she's a gobshite then she will demonstrate that on her own the thing is i think that she has
01:29:02.100
demonstrated that that's the problem yeah like it's like i i i was as charitable to candace as
01:29:07.380
anyone right because i mean they're i don't i don't hate candace no not at all and and but
01:29:12.160
also like there are weird things that happen in any sort of controversial event like that you get
01:29:17.840
various angles there's all these interpretations but the thing is like you say you weren't following
01:29:22.540
the clips you watched the the things and it's not okay but there's nothing here and i and i do think
01:29:27.960
that she is right to question the behavior of some people especially some close to charlie
01:29:34.340
immediately following his death and say listen this is not how you react when you're grieving this is
01:29:40.400
not a normal behavior like we all remember trump immediately following charlie kirk's death now
01:29:44.660
charlie kirk had met trump a number of times was friends friends with him and was involved with him
01:29:50.620
closely he worked with the white house and donald trump couldn't wait to get off the subject and
01:29:55.480
promote what the golf uh the golf course that he was having built or something wasn't it there was
01:30:00.640
a load of weird behavior but all of these extra threads that she's brought up are just
01:30:06.400
clogging the through line that could be found and i think frankly she's over complicating it if she's
01:30:13.240
sincerely trying to look into this i think she needs to take a break not worry so much about hundreds of
01:30:19.880
thousands of people potentially trolling her by sending her false leads and she needs to clear her
01:30:25.460
mind a little bit get off it for a moment and then come back with a clear perspective and frankly i think
01:30:30.700
that are saying that we've been paid seven thousand dollars uh for this uh very funny uh i would i would
01:30:38.180
i would wish we don't i don't get paid seven grand per segment i can tell you that but the the point
01:30:45.700
is i think she has demonstrated that's the issue but um i think we're out of time yeah i think that's
01:30:50.620
all the time that we've got for right now so uh thank you very much for watching make sure to try
01:30:56.340
tune into realpolitik at three o'clock for subscribers on the website only pick up a mug
