Good afternoon, folks. Welcome to the podcast of the Low Seaters for Friday the 20th of February
00:00:04.360
2025. I am joined by Nick and Beau, and today we're going to be talking about the future
00:00:10.740
bifurcation of British politics. I think it's actually all sort of collapsing down into the
00:00:14.880
same thing. Then we're going to be looking at who is actually running the country as
00:00:18.640
in the literal mechanisms of government. What kind of people are pulling those? Not great
00:00:23.440
ones. And aliens are real. According to Barack Obama. Not white words. Well, I mean, I guess
00:00:33.360
I mean, who would know other than presidents, I guess, you know. But anyway, so this is going
00:00:39.840
to be a fun one this afternoon. And after the podcast, we are doing Alt Media Parliament on
00:00:45.720
the Lads Hour. So basically, we're going to be choosing our ideal government with the media
00:00:49.940
figures that we're familiar with. Personally, I'm rooting for Katie Hopkins as head of Ofcom.
00:00:55.180
I hope the panel will agree with me on that. Because it'd be funny. But that's at three
00:01:00.300
o'clock on the website. So of course, come and join us then. Anyway, without further ado,
00:01:04.960
let us begin. So we've got a couple of different things that have happened recently. I'm just
00:01:10.280
going to just get that to a further point so you can see. So we've got an aristocratic
00:01:16.280
man on his farm who I think has the general political disposition of Sir Arthur Wellesley,
00:01:23.860
the Duke of Wellington, right? Am I wrong? Not really, right? He's got that kind of like
00:01:31.140
hard, old Tory, shire Tory opinion, which is law and order, you know, people in their place
00:01:38.520
and everything going as it should be going, as is tradition.
00:01:42.000
And the government get out of my farm, get out of my business and stop messing with my
00:01:47.720
life. When you said Wellesley, I immediately thought, has Reaper fought any battles in
00:01:51.740
India? But no, I know what you're saying now. I get what you're saying in Spain.
00:01:56.380
He easily could. Yeah, I was saying that on a stream last night. He's an old Tory. This
00:02:00.780
is the thing. He's not that extreme or anything. People are trying to paint it like this.
00:02:03.960
He's actually this old Tory. What our leaders have done to us is extreme. But now, you know,
00:02:08.320
the solutions are slightly robust for the average Brit, which is people have to be sent home
00:02:13.060
and things like this, you know, or not, you know, more robust than we've had to be in
00:02:16.280
the past. But it's because things, extreme things have been done to us. If you look at
00:02:19.840
Rupert, he's just an old Tory going, stay out of my business. Yeah. Old school Britain.
00:02:24.180
Yeah, because there's currently an attempt on the wet lib right. So conservatives, unheard,
00:02:31.760
those sort of types. And of course, reform are trying to call Rupert a neo-Nazi. And he
00:02:38.900
started to announce by it. It's like, no, I mean, nothing about this screams 20th century
00:02:43.660
Germanism. What it screams is 19th century Britishism. As in, this is the kind of, yeah,
00:02:50.140
we'll go and fight Napoleon. You could exactly hear him saying, well, we'll have to go and
00:02:53.740
fight Napoleon then. Well, you know, we'll have to give me an army, send me to Portugal, you
00:02:57.600
know, I'll sort this out. You could see exactly that sort of, those sort of words coming out
00:03:01.880
of his mouth, not, you know, 20th century fascist rhetoric, because we just haven't heard
00:03:09.320
any of that from Rupert. We're not going to. The forces of reaction, I wear that badge
00:03:13.260
proudly. Oh, yeah. Quite often, nativist, nationalist, right of centre leaning politics is a reaction
00:03:20.180
to how crazy the left have gone throughout history I'm talking about. Correct. And so Rupert
00:03:24.980
and restore is a reaction to what's been done to us, isn't it? Yeah. It's pretty straightforwardly
00:03:31.020
that. But what I like about these sort of political, and this is essentially a campaign
00:03:35.720
ad, what I like about these things is it gives the parties an opportunity to present themselves
00:03:40.420
in the best possible light, in the way that they think of themselves. And Rupert was just
00:03:44.460
on his farm saying, look, this is going to be tough, this is going to be difficult, it's going
00:03:48.420
to be painful, but it must be done for the future of the country to keep it in line with
00:03:53.220
the past of the country, in order to reverse the radical Blairite revolution that has taken
00:03:58.600
place, as David Starkey and Peter Hitchens call it, which I think is correct, and to restore
00:04:04.400
it to something that is recognisably Britain and authentically British. Compared to this,
00:04:10.480
we have this campaign ad from Zach Polanski. Now, I found this absolutely fascinating. I'm going
00:04:17.040
to do a full screen just so we can see in detail. Look, I get it. This set he has chosen. Now,
00:04:23.980
as someone who runs a podcast, I've had to make a few sets in my day, and you think about
00:04:30.100
what's in the background of the set, and you think about the aesthetic you're trying to put
00:04:34.680
across, you think about what you're trying to tell people. And for some reason, Zach Polanski
00:04:38.380
has chosen a 1970s council estate living room. Well, maybe not council estate. That's a very
00:04:45.240
nice fireplace, right? So... To be honest, it's my grandma's house in the 1980s when they lived
00:04:50.080
in Northampton. I actually got nostalgic. I was like, I remember houses like that. Yeah.
00:04:53.520
And this is a very deliberate choice, right? Yeah, yeah. And he also says, you know, you just
00:04:57.340
want to watch Corrie. And I was like, you've never watched Corrie. You don't know what Corrie
00:05:01.660
is. And you've never been in a house like that. You're broadcasting from my gran's house
00:05:05.280
in the 80s and pretending to appeal to working class people. My granddad was a very work
00:05:09.840
class bloke who'd be like, do you watch Emmerdale Farm, Nicky? I'm like, oh no, sorry, I haven't
00:05:13.520
seen it, granddad. He'd think I was like a posh snob because I wouldn't watch Emmerdale
00:05:16.800
Farm or whatever. And it's like that. It's like your programs, and he's trying to appeal
00:05:21.280
to that. But my granddad would also see through this guy in a second, because he's never appealing
00:05:25.860
to the working class. Well, this is what I want to talk about. This sort of inauthenticity
00:05:28.660
of the set, which I find really interesting. I mean, that carpet is way too loud,
00:05:33.240
right? Nobody actually had a carpet that loud back in the 1980s. Outside of a pub.
00:05:37.700
Yeah, outside of a pub. Yeah, no, that's exactly right. And because the carpet is designed to
00:05:41.460
hide mess. So the same reason they have the very loud bus covers on the bus seats and trains
00:05:49.060
is to hide stains, right? But no one in their actual house would have had a carpet like that.
00:05:53.920
That's a very posh fireplace. I mean, you know, very expensive looking fireplace. But then there's
00:05:58.680
the placement of the objects. Look how regular they are around in the background. Like a stack
00:06:04.500
of papers with the glasses, and then about a foot, and then the clock in the middle, and then about
00:06:09.020
another foot and another clock for some reason. And then you've got the T's on the table behind
00:06:14.080
him, but it's behind him, so you can't access it. So it's very clearly a prop. And then you've
00:06:18.240
got a very weird, like, what is that, 1950s radio? Yeah, the radio is metal. But again,
00:06:22.880
very clean, very undamaged, but perfectly spaced between just a random bowl. And then the thing
00:06:29.540
they're sitting on, the little table that's sat on, it's just kind of, there's, it's been
00:06:33.820
arranged. Yeah, that table got me nostalgic, those folding tables. Yeah, yeah, of course.
00:06:38.080
But it's all, yeah, very much. Whose glasses are those as well? Because he's not, they're not his.
00:06:41.580
Yeah, exactly. He doesn't wear glasses. So the whole thing just, it felt very arranged,
00:06:46.400
right? And so I was looking at the right, okay, it's artificial, and it is trying to
00:06:51.700
invoke a nostalgic past. He is actually trying to evoke a kind of British traditionalism in
00:06:58.780
this. Whereas with Rupert, he unconsciously evoked it by being authentic. He was on his
00:07:05.480
farm. Yeah. He was telling you straight, this is going to be difficult, but we've got to do
00:07:10.020
it. Whereas Zach Polanski is artificially trying to invoke a past that actually no longer exists.
00:07:15.100
This is not a world that exists anymore. This isn't anyone's real experience. Like the
00:07:18.680
average Zoomer watching this is just like, what is this? You know, this doesn't look like
00:07:23.460
the council estate I was raised on or whatever, right? And so it's interesting how they're
00:07:27.420
both appealing to traditional British aesthetics, but only one is doing it authentically. The
00:07:32.980
other is doing it very artificially. And Zach Polanski is hardly the sort of person we
00:07:37.440
would think of as a sort of authentic British person anyway. But anyway.
00:07:42.600
Hang on. I will say one thing though. It's smart to get him sat down if you've seen him
00:07:46.380
running. I have. Him running is one of the most insane things I've ever seen. I've not
00:07:51.520
seen that. It's really uncoordinated. He was the last pick for football at school.
00:07:55.560
Yeah. Right. Right. I've never seen a human run like that. Literally, it should disqualify
00:07:59.680
him from office on its own. If you've seen Keir Starmer try to punch a punching bag, it's
00:08:04.000
like a hundred times worse than that. It's insane. It's mad. It's not. It's not. Have
00:08:09.280
you ever seen anything like it? No. I mean, literally no. Maybe like Forrest Gump the first
00:08:13.880
day he got those things taken off his legs. But that would be generous. But then he starts
00:08:16.800
running properly. He starts running really well. Yeah. It's like Forrest Gump with the
00:08:20.360
leg things on still. You're like, have you got leg braces? It's insane. Anyway, we'll watch
00:08:25.080
this because it's not very long and it's a very interesting thing. If you want me to pause
00:08:28.000
any point, let me know. Look, I get it. We all hate party broadcasts. We just want to
00:08:32.060
watch Corrie or whatever's on next. But I just want to take a moment to ask you to remember
00:08:36.860
something the government want you to forget. They want you to forget that right now we
00:08:42.100
are living in rip-off Britain. There was a time when bills weren't just going up and
00:08:46.840
up and up and our public services actually worked. That what's happening right now, it's
00:08:51.880
not normal. It's not extreme or obscene to ask for something better. We're paying for
00:08:57.540
it after all. But right now they're getting exactly what they want, which is for you to
00:09:02.320
think that change is not possible. That it has to be this way. But it does not have to
00:09:08.000
be this way. Billionaires own far too many of our politicians.
00:09:13.340
I thought he was going to say immigrants. Everything you'd said up until that point,
00:09:16.960
yeah, the immigrants are a bit of an issue, aren't they, Zach?
00:09:19.480
You want to talk about what's normal? You're not normal, Zach.
00:09:22.820
Yeah, that's true. You're not actually very representative of the majority of the people in this country.
00:09:26.600
One thing that's quite interesting is he says it's not extreme to us. It's similar to the right. He's
00:09:30.940
saying it's not extreme to notice this. Exactly. Let me finish this and we'll explore that more.
00:09:36.140
And every day we're seeing how far that rock goes. People at the heart of government leaking secrets.
00:09:42.520
And the Labour government is crumbling. But we've got Nigel Farage. He's trying to paint reform
00:09:48.560
as some sort of alternative. But reform and Labour both accept money from oil and gas companies,
00:09:55.740
arms trade companies, private healthcare and gambling companies. That means they work for them
00:10:01.140
and not you. But the Green Party, we're offering hope and a plan. We're going to take back what's
00:10:08.300
ours from the people who have taken what's ours. Because for decades now, they have been making a
00:10:14.680
killing from selling it back to us. We need to end rip off Britain. One, we're going to lower bills.
00:10:22.300
We'll get past these pledges. But that's actually a really interesting...
00:10:27.440
I was with him when he said, you know, they're taking money and foreign money, blah, blah. But
00:10:31.660
then when he said, we're getting it back to you, it went a bit bane at the end for me. The people,
00:10:35.820
you know, you're just going to mug the bitch and try and give it to them.
00:10:39.480
But also, it's ours. Who's our? Like, sorry, I know who the Green Party constituency is. And I
00:10:47.180
don't really feel like I'm in that first person plural.
00:10:49.040
Right. It was also the pretense that he's one of the people as well, which he isn't. And
00:10:52.780
then, yeah, the ours in the Green Party is Muslims.
00:10:56.000
But also, people don't just hate the rich. They hate being exploited. And that's being
00:11:00.300
done in various different ways. It's, you know, it's not just a rich person. But anyway,
00:11:04.540
so I found that very interesting how essentially, and this is what sparked it. A friend of mine
00:11:09.700
called Terradone3000 on Twitter had posted this. And it's just very interesting how Rupert Lowe,
00:11:15.080
we must crush parasitic Britain. We need to end a rip-off Britain. Right. So the two ends of the
00:11:21.300
spectrum, the left and the right, have both understood that there is a problem with the
00:11:25.980
centre. Right. The centre is the issue. It is destroying the country. And so I think that this,
00:11:33.100
as we are witnessing, and I've said this in previous podcasts, we're witnessing a collapse
00:11:36.800
of the centre at the moment. Labour and the Tories are just done. And Farage has decided,
00:11:40.200
I'm going to jump onto the sinking Tory ship. That's weird. Don't know why you'd do that.
00:11:45.760
Don't know why you'd come out and allow Robert Jemmerich to be like, yeah, we're going to keep
00:11:48.640
the Bank of England independent. We're going to have the Office of Budget Responsibility
00:11:51.320
overseeing everything right. So you're in the quangocracy and you're fine with all of that.
00:11:55.200
Totally weird, but OK. You are going to fuel all the people. They'll clip that and say,
00:11:59.300
see, they're just like, restores the new your party, restores the new Greens.
00:12:03.140
Well, we're the right-wing party outside of the Blair Act consensus. That's the thing.
00:12:06.660
And so, I mean, he is the left-wing party outside of the Blair Act consensus. But the issue is the
00:12:12.700
Blair Act consensus itself is what has destroyed the country, because you literally couldn't point
00:12:17.140
to any other political paradigm that might be responsible. And everyone can see that that's
00:12:22.720
the problem. So whether you think it's billionaires, and in a way, there is an argument there. OK,
00:12:29.360
yeah, I don't. I mean, Rupert Lone, the interview I did with him yesterday, said, well, I don't want
00:12:33.080
the country being bought by BlackRock. Of course he doesn't. He's a high Tory. You know, of course
00:12:37.400
he doesn't want the country being bought by BlackRock. He also doesn't want millions of
00:12:41.400
foreign parasites coming in and taking our welfare. Now, Zach Polanski is completely in favour of that.
00:12:47.240
So I actually think that Rupert Lowe has both of these aspects of the problem covered, whereas
00:12:52.940
Zach Polanski sees one aspect but openly encourages the other aspect. So I just don't think the Greens
00:12:58.840
could solve the problem, because they're ideologically blind to it, whether they like.
00:13:03.220
The key difference is Rupert's like, stay off my land, whereas Zach would get onto his farm,
00:13:07.840
sack the whole place, turn it into a commune of some sort. Send him to a gulag, yeah. But just as a
00:13:13.420
quick aside on this, Zach Polanski is bonkers, actually. This is genuinely funny from Sky News.
00:13:22.580
Is the beauty of being an opposition party that isn't going to be in government that you can
00:13:28.580
say what you like, and you don't necessarily have to make the sums that up?
00:13:32.140
Well, I think it'd be really irresponsible to do that. And that's exactly why the Green
00:13:35.120
Party have always put forward a costed manifesto at any general election. It's also why I always
00:13:39.940
want to answer questions honestly about the wealth taxes, and why I think we should have
00:13:43.500
a conversation about the fact that the real wealth creators in this country are cleaners,
00:13:47.420
teachers, nurses, the people who keep our economy moving.
00:13:52.540
I know. I said, like, I've got a degree in English, literally, and even I know that's absolute,
00:14:02.820
It doesn't mean they're bad people, but they're not creating wealth.
00:14:06.080
Entrepreneurs create wealth by taking massive risk and employing people.
00:14:09.000
Exactly. What he's describing there is the service side of the economy, which is where
00:14:13.400
the wealth goes after it's been spent, because you want the services that are provided by these
00:14:22.200
Everyone is. Whenever you earn your money, they're the people you employ with that money.
00:14:25.800
And that's fine. That's normal. It's completely fine.
00:14:28.300
But you can see that Zach Palancey just does not understand the way the world works.
00:14:32.480
I was going to say, it's classic leftist economic theory, i.e. not understanding properly.
00:14:39.580
That capitalism is the problem. The idea of having a profit motive, that that's the problem.
00:14:46.060
Well, he doesn't understand how wealth is created. That's what he's revealed here.
00:14:49.880
It's like, the real wealth creators are people who don't create wealth.
00:14:53.160
Okay. I mean, that's fine that you've picked a constituency, at least one constituency,
00:14:59.940
I mean, and then you've got like brilliant, brilliant takes like this, right?
00:15:03.980
And, but I think you're going to particularly enjoy this one.
00:15:07.200
So how, how do I, as Vladimir Putin, benefit from this?
00:15:11.060
Why should I give away any of my nuclear weapons?
00:15:17.560
That any kind of time that anyone can obliterate someone,
00:15:21.200
the other person can obliterate the other person too.
00:15:23.140
And if you really want to protect your population,
00:15:25.440
the best thing we could do is all denuclearize.
00:15:33.860
What ends up happening is everyone has mutual assured destruction
00:15:38.100
Which is why we're currently broadcasting this from heaven.
00:15:47.360
neither one does it in order not to enact the retribution
00:16:07.180
And it has actually worked remarkably well, really,
00:16:13.500
It's because game theory does tell us the exact opposite
00:16:20.560
and there are loads of experiments to show this,
00:16:23.020
that if both parties just don't take the action,
00:16:40.100
because the Muslim vote has just flocked to the Greens,
00:16:56.700
what's going to happen to all the non-Muslim Greens?
00:17:09.040
do you know this is not going to end well for you?
00:17:16.420
It's not the Libs that are going to win that one.
00:17:25.440
might not actually be representative of his own party,
00:17:51.780
And there are a bunch of radical student retards
00:17:58.600
it actually is the time to make a left-wing economic case.
00:18:13.080
someone like the SDP has a serious programme on this
00:18:22.180
because there's not much appetite for Thatcherism right now
00:19:03.440
Because this is their candidate for Gordon and,
01:02:53.760
all right so a few things say about that before we talk about it is that one
01:02:58.880
well i think it's being viewed from a long way away first of all it looks like it's moving very
01:03:03.540
very fast across the surface of the ocean but that could be parallax well that's the thing
01:03:08.700
the whole perspective of it is odd and there's this this the thing of parallax isn't it with
01:03:12.080
different uh i mean like someone like thunderfoot blunderfoot um says that that's obviously a bird
01:03:19.380
that's obviously just a bird flying and you must be out of your mind to think it's anything from
01:03:25.060
another world i mean maybe maybe maybe not i think pilots will be used to seeing birds right i don't
01:03:31.540
think it's a bird but i'm not saying it's a thing from another world right depends if china counts
01:03:35.920
as another world um so chinese weapons is the one is the most disturbing so as much as i want to
01:03:41.620
believe i still maintain i need something even better than even that yeah i need something better
01:03:46.620
than just commander favor saying he saw it i'm afraid i mean i've i've i've written like watched
01:03:52.120
podcasts on practically every ufo encounter you can imagine right and the roswell one was honestly
01:03:59.000
one of the most persuasive because some farmer came out and was like oh look there's a big trail of
01:04:03.520
debris here picked up a bunch of the piece of metal and just like that you know they bent and they
01:04:07.640
were springy and you know you could fold them up and then they just spring back perfectly in shape
01:04:11.740
it's like okay we don't have materials that can do that actually so he's got like all these weird
01:04:15.040
materials and he's like oh yeah and i saw these bodies i was like and then the military just turned
01:04:18.020
up and the thing is initially it was reported in the papers because it was in like 1947 or something
01:04:22.960
and then suddenly the narrative changes completely and it's like no nothing happened it was a weather
01:04:27.460
balloon and so it's just like right how do you feel about the it's humans in the future who
01:04:32.080
evolved i like time traveling i i they're more persuasive than it's someone from the other side of
01:04:37.020
the galaxy frankly that's quite persuasive um so not aliens no well you know they're future humans
01:04:43.680
who've learned time travel and that's why they've got bigger brains and big fingers and stuff like
01:04:47.000
that that's why they're not hostile yeah yeah then i have one of the three i've forgotten this popped
01:04:51.360
out my head so carry on and i'll remember there's lots of arguments to say why it isn't visitors from
01:04:57.520
another star system and there are plenty and plenty of arguments for that but i just remain open-minded
01:05:02.760
to it the thing is that the united states government has again over the last few i mean look this is back
01:05:07.600
from 2023 number of just a number of articles i've got here that just um they just they're doing
01:05:13.520
like some sort of slow burn disclosure it seems say what about the idea they're in a different realm
01:05:19.020
like the clockwork elves you can't work elves i don't know what clockwork is you know about the
01:05:23.780
clockwork elves yeah you're not seeing the clockwork elves i don't know that alex jones thing yeah
01:05:27.720
yeah yeah maybe we'll take dmt which i would never would just oh right they see the clockwork elves
01:05:33.360
yeah there's different levels there's these higher ones there's the higher ones and then there's the
01:05:37.280
lower ones which are the clockwork elves who are not maybe like that nice and you see them you don't
01:05:41.080
really want to see them not very friendly no and but people see them lots of different people have
01:05:44.900
seen them on dmt so they're they're real but they're just in a different dimension we can't access
01:05:48.720
normally right okay i'm i'm not into drug use no i would like to visit joe rogan and and do dmt in a
01:05:56.720
flotation tank with him and share that experience that would be nice joe hit me up i'd love to do that
01:06:01.760
that's on my bucket list what if you saw the clockwork elves uh i don't know but you mentioned
01:06:06.680
david ike didn't you that like the interdimensional lizard people i didn't mention david ike i thought
01:06:11.140
i mentioned okay all right but the thing is is that the actual federal government like the ufo
01:06:16.300
transparency hearings they've had and the the whole uh yeah uh all right and there's this the the
01:06:24.820
concept really of the disclosure project or disclosure movement um that the thing is a lot of
01:06:30.980
extremely credible very very very high level people over many many years people that are like
01:06:37.780
admirals have come out and people like barack obama have come out and said yeah it's there's
01:06:43.900
stuff out there and we don't know what it is it's not necessarily from another star system
01:06:46.820
but there's stuff in our skies and the oceans and we've got no idea what it is that's a matter of
01:06:52.240
record yes i mean the these what's really interesting about they have these ufo conferences
01:06:57.000
around they've been having them for decades yeah robert williams goes to them and then yeah and
01:07:00.940
yeah and so did dan akroyd he was a massive one of these and it's but they're really boring and
01:07:05.900
they're really badly recorded because so you know it's in some you know a big room you know like a
01:07:11.900
ballroom hall or something and you'll get some very normal looking guy and he'll come up and say
01:07:17.380
hello my name is commander david smith and i have a degree in molecular biology i have a degree in
01:07:24.500
nuclear physics and a phd in experimental physics i was an airplane pilot for 30 years and i saw this
01:07:30.520
this this this this this this it's really really boring and everyone give polite golf claps and
01:07:35.480
that's it and it's like is he a non-credible witness am i going like oh there's oh look he's
01:07:40.260
a raving lunatic what is it about ufo people and bad recordings yeah i can't just get it's like
01:07:44.500
hunting you know but it's but these these these conferences i've watched loads of them they go for
01:07:50.000
hours and they're really boring but they're that boring if you watch fascinating usually no no
01:07:55.480
they're really boring and but but but it's because i'm not bored by the content right i'm interested in
01:08:01.860
knowing okay what was this you know pilot's exact experience what was this navy you know i commanded
01:08:07.500
it i was in the admiral of the fleet or whatever and this is what i saw it's like okay you know the
01:08:11.980
way they present the information is very boring but the information itself i'm trying to actually
01:08:15.120
figure out why i shouldn't take these people seriously because they are very well credentialed
01:08:19.760
that's what tucker said he goes i've known some serious military people they tell me it's
01:08:23.300
real he's described some things they've seen so when tucker said that i was like all right more
01:08:28.460
evidence i'm fairly convinced the weird thing is it doesn't make that much difference to your life
01:08:32.040
i watched bob lazar i was like that's real that doesn't mean anything you still just carry on
01:08:35.540
now immigration problem still gotta go to work on monday pay my taxes kind of weird it doesn't
01:08:40.780
change lately yeah well what choice have you got really though i mean exactly i mean what i love
01:08:46.840
about this though adherence to the disclosure movement have variously predicted that barack
01:08:49.860
obama hillary clinton joe biden donald trump or pope lee are on the verge of initiating disclosure
01:08:53.860
well you can change that wikipedia page to they have correctly predicted that obama and trump
01:09:00.920
have initiated disclosure because i mean literally obama and trump are just like yeah aliens are real
01:09:06.120
like chalk this up as a win that to me yeah yeah has disclosure happened it sounds like it's kind
01:09:13.780
of happened hasn't it that's what they're saying yeah obama and trump big mistake yeah maybe a slight
01:09:21.400
tangent but to me i don't know if you watch near-death experiences to me they're far more
01:09:24.780
important because if it seems as though people they're completely their brain dead their body's
01:09:29.500
been shut down for you know like 47 minutes they but they can move around they can go they go to
01:09:35.100
heaven quite a lot of them they can see their own body things like near-death experiences are
01:09:38.980
unbelievable like the the amount of data and so many people have similar experiences they have life
01:09:43.460
reviews where they go through their whole life and things they did right and wrong and there's so many
01:09:47.260
similar accounts of people who couldn't possibly have brain activity and they're so similar to me
01:09:52.920
that's like it's not just cranks i was like this is this is a serious thing and presumably some people
01:09:58.080
had this experience in the past but no way near as because of technology we can actually find out oh
01:10:02.740
you're dead but you carry on to me that's the most significant thing but everyone's obsessed
01:10:06.940
with aliens but to me that's more stupid because if that's true then your spirit carries on after
01:10:11.100
death that's pretty big deal well one argument i would have a segment on it yeah there's so many
01:10:16.800
arguments to be made why we haven't been visited by uh advanced civilizations from other star systems
01:10:22.920
okay there's loads like loads of it that even the footage we've got it's just a bird and it's just
01:10:28.240
the odd parallax effect and but there is a couple of arguments sort of broader maybe more meta
01:10:33.560
arguments the idea that if the universe if the cosmos is infinite that that it becomes a mathematical
01:10:39.620
certainty that there are advanced civilizations somewhere else even possibly quite possibly in
01:10:44.660
our own galaxy certainly in other galaxies and then another argument which gives i put a lot of weight
01:10:50.660
in is that throughout human history or at least recorded human civilization people have always
01:10:57.160
thought that there's nothing sort of much beyond them you know you get aboriginal peoples and they
01:11:02.600
often think they're the only people in the world until they're until they shown that they're not
01:11:08.440
and that we think that there's there's no other continents in the world until we find out there
01:11:12.900
are and it's filled with people whenever our horizons broaden before strike rather before our horizons
01:11:18.720
broaden we think we're alone and then whenever they broaden we realize we're not
01:11:23.080
just take that to like a cosmic level onto a galactic or intergalactic level
01:11:28.260
i don't know i still i still do just need some full completely undeniable evidence you want to see
01:11:36.300
one of the little blokes well i'm going to need to yeah i'm going to need to we're going to have to
01:11:40.740
hang around the deep south more or around groom lake so the nevada yeah there's that's a great point
01:11:47.760
actually there are maps of ufo sightings because if this was the was the case why would it be
01:11:52.720
culturally specific right so you you have maps of ufo sightings and they begin in a particular time
01:11:58.980
period and in particular places so you've got like areas of the world that just never get any ufo
01:12:04.860
sightings and have never had them and area the areas of the world that do have them it's very
01:12:09.600
culturally tuned to modernity right you have loads in phoenix arizona yeah and none in siberia
01:12:14.740
or something exactly exactly i've seen him and so actually it takes on the aspect of a kind of
01:12:21.700
modern mythology rather than necessarily a true phenomenon right and i mean you know you're
01:12:28.820
relying on the eyewitness reports of people who literally don't know anything a lot of the time
01:12:32.320
so it's just like okay i mean like the eyewitness testimony to go back to fravor again the eyewitness
01:12:38.260
testimony of that it's hard to discount i'm not saying just say he's just a liar he's doing i'm not
01:12:42.620
saying but some people do it's like he's just lying you can't he's just making up for clout
01:12:47.820
to be famous i don't think so nothing indicates that nothing right here's my question but it's
01:12:54.020
more of a lazar question how desperate to see aliens are you would you accept them molesting you with the
01:13:00.120
probe and everything but then you got proof but you've been probed i would have to accept that
01:13:06.760
wouldn't i like how much do you want to see them oh oh i see what you're saying is it worth it
01:13:11.940
no no i'll go on living as i am thank you are you really going to tell people yeah i got probed by
01:13:17.640
aliens though so if that happens to me i'm like i think i'm just going to keep that to myself yeah
01:13:21.720
it's not you know right yeah i just don't i just don't want to be that's why that's why you don't
01:13:26.480
see them in england we're too sensible we go oh that's probably nothing i probably just there are
01:13:30.140
what is he saying are there but less than the american deep south rendersham forest examples yeah
01:13:34.460
rendersham forest is my theory is it would happen less because one like like scrooge would just say
01:13:39.160
that you're probably just a bit of undigested potato or something you dismiss it and then the other
01:13:43.660
thing would probably say is oh i'm not telling i know about that probe because i'm english and then
01:13:47.660
the problem i have with all this is you get into okay the implications are kind of catastrophic
01:13:52.720
because suddenly it's like okay well oh aliens exist well then they're going to have their own
01:13:57.200
philosophies religions or maybe they're the same thing but there's also going to be some sort of
01:14:01.820
intergalactic politics that go on there's going to be all sorts of levels of uh understanding of
01:14:09.120
the universe that we don't understand but will have in the same way that the amazonian aboriginals
01:14:14.360
are impacted by our technology well that's going to happen to us and we're going to be struggling
01:14:18.880
with whatever new discoveries we have they're going to just completely change everything i'm just like
01:14:24.260
oh man you're worried that they're going to be leftists with like i'm not i'm not worried about
01:14:27.900
i i no no no i'm not worried about that at all i'm i'm worried that we will learn something from
01:14:33.000
them that basically uh just destroys our civilization frankly it ruins everything like
01:14:37.860
or that maybe i don't know it could be it could be literally anything but i am a bit worried of just
01:14:45.300
oh here's like actually like when like with the people in the new new world like they they know
01:14:51.500
how things are and then suddenly the spanish conquistadors turn up well everything changes then it's
01:14:55.820
right so actually you're in the middle of a great power game of international empires that are far
01:15:01.340
more powerful than you and everything's about to change and maybe millions of you die so like
01:15:06.380
i just don't really want to discover aliens for the pragmatic reasons it may it may well not go
01:15:11.740
well i mean i've watched films i've just paid my taxes man i don't want aliens not this
01:15:17.020
in the history of human civilization the weaker of the powers it never works out very well for them
01:15:24.540
exactly well there's the idea the fermi paradox we look out onto the cosmos unless we've got the
01:15:28.420
intergalactic what if they're stronger what if they're rubbish aliens they somehow visit us but
01:15:31.860
they're kind of literally the italians of the we've got better technology we're the ethiopians and we
01:15:36.320
just beat them yeah well they come from a much bigger planet with much higher gravity so they're
01:15:40.480
only that big yeah um yeah like the fermi paradox we look out on the cosmos and it appears to be empty
01:15:46.660
yes what explains that really and there's a number there's a dozens of different explanations for
01:15:50.860
that one might be the one i sort of think is that there's like the zoo hypothesis that they see us
01:15:56.880
and they deliberately keep us just in our own little cage and just observe us because that's
01:16:01.480
the best for them and us i mean honestly that's the most optimistic right yeah right because there
01:16:06.700
are the really dark versions like the dark forest hypothesis right yeah anyone who sends out signals
01:16:12.200
into space just gets eaten by the tyranids or something and it's just like so everyone just shuts
01:16:16.380
up and make sure they don't keep broadcasting their location to other people so it's just like okay
01:16:21.180
i mean it could be that we've already got a 60 70 year bubble of radio going out from the earth
01:16:27.020
so that's already might literally be on its way now and obama's like yeah aliens are real i haven't
01:16:32.500
seen it's all because people became godless that's the problem they're looking for meaning in the in
01:16:35.620
the wrong places it's kind of annoying to me because it's like you haven't solved these much bigger
01:16:39.960
these much more important questions whether god is real not whether aliens are real it's it's
01:16:43.760
secondary to me but hey i suppose it would change everything that's great but i just don't want
01:16:47.400
aliens man i can tolerate god being real yeah aliens no thanks i'm just an evidence guy if
01:16:52.280
there's no evidence i'll remain skeptical and won't go on record saying i think aliens from other
01:16:58.020
worlds have definitely visited us i'm not going to say that well when there is clip that now and it
01:17:01.820
looks like but if and when there is when you're probed i will accept you will admit it yeah right
01:17:07.440
all i'm saying is i want this wikipedia page updated so you've got all of these people and also
01:17:12.620
donald trump and barack obama if i'm saying it was a big mistake so funny he shouldn't have said
01:17:16.840
there's big mistake state secrets i feel like i do i am kind of of the theory that because the way
01:17:21.900
the president always changes as soon as they get in okay partly it's the reality of power but i do
01:17:25.520
think they get the conversation and they they're shown horrific things or just crazy things they're
01:17:30.840
showing the aliens they're showing everything like bill hicks said yeah like exactly like bill hicks
01:17:34.440
said i wasn't going to say exactly what i'm thinking he's like that's what i think happens and so
01:17:38.020
that's why trump gets in we'll get the jfk files and they show him it and he goes
01:17:41.200
like bill hicks always has a different angle you haven't seen they show them the aliens they go
01:17:45.620
but you can't talk about it because of x y and so well i told a little anecdote this morning i'll say
01:17:50.100
again about um jimmy carter in the 70s he became president and he said i want to see everything that
01:17:55.640
there is to know about area 51 and aliens and everything and the pentagon said uh you need you
01:18:00.680
haven't got as president you haven't got clearance to do that you need to apply for the clearance so he
01:18:04.820
did and and they turned him down he was refused clearance it says no yeah to the president they
01:18:11.280
probably knew he wasn't going to be in very long car um but that is shocking yeah because it's the
01:18:15.300
permanent government as david hick does say it's the permanent bureaucracy of the deep state yeah
01:18:19.280
they're like oh we've seen loads of presidents come and go that's weird there you go obama says
01:18:25.440
aliens are real take it or leave it let's go to the video comments just i just don't want man i just
01:18:33.100
don't want aliens they probably won't come at swindon and no i'm not saying they're going to
01:18:38.540
come swindon but then you say that why not they're going to go anywhere else but it's no it's it's
01:18:42.860
going to there's going to be an internet cult that based around them you're going to get
01:18:46.300
sexualization of aliens then you're going to get all sorts of weird i just i'm not for it let's go
01:18:52.040
further to tuesday's section on the very welcome collapse of beyond meat and harry's observations of
01:18:58.580
his wife's improvements since she gave up vegetarianism i'd like to go one step further
01:19:03.040
a friend of mine said that he was vegetarian not because he objects to meat but rather to
01:19:07.880
the slaughter of animals he claimed he'd be happy eating lab-grown meat then he said something that
01:19:13.380
shocked me he said he'd quite happily eat human meat if it were lab-grown i think vegetarians have
01:19:18.740
such twisted morals that they're actually evil well that's disgusting but how would it be human if it
01:19:25.140
was lab-grown if it starts from human cells and then they clone it or something that's horrible
01:19:30.140
it's disgusting sick it's an odd conclusion to come to isn't it i'm against lab-grown meat of
01:19:35.640
all kinds but especially human but this is the problem if you have sort of like a monodimensional
01:19:39.240
moral compass right this is the sole measure of right and wrong and therefore well as long as it
01:19:44.340
wasn't slain i can eat it so if you lab-grow a bunch of human meat well it wasn't slain it's like okay but
01:19:50.420
there are other things to consider here sorry when it comes to vegetarianism i lived as a vegetarian for a
01:19:57.080
few years when in my late teens because i was just on my high horse and then eventually i came to terms
01:20:01.940
with the fact that i'm quite selfish and brutal as a human being and i like bacon and so some pigs
01:20:08.380
have got a dire for me to have bacon and gammon and whatever so so be it i mean just we used to know
01:20:14.160
that we had dominions with it dominion over the animals it was all there in the bible but now we've
01:20:18.020
abandoned it also well i'm just going really hardcore because you guys are such atheists i've just
01:20:22.500
decided to go hardcore because i'm sick of it um you know what these people always end up hating
01:20:28.220
humans like vegans they're always like who would about the animals but they never care about abortion
01:20:32.020
they love abortion right yeah so it's not just like this neutral maybe that guy was it quite
01:20:35.940
rational like ultra rational a lot of them just hate humans and love animals for me being a meat
01:20:40.580
eater is basically nietzschean it's like no i'm confirming that i'm at the top of the food chain here
01:20:44.920
unapologetically yeah unapologetically no i'm going to kill the animal i'm going to eat the animal
01:20:49.080
because i am the human and it is not that is basically the same as what i said but in a
01:20:53.480
slightly more brutally expressed way that's the minion over the animals is that's what it is yeah
01:20:57.680
but this uh but the um the issue with nietzsche is a bit more um complex but anyway my love of
01:21:05.100

01:21:11.600
hierarchy yeah it's also yeah you're right it's what happens in nature yeah yeah and to prove that
01:21:15.840
we're at the top of the hierarchy i get it you guys are all psychos is what i'm realizing
01:21:19.060
dan said he's high on the dark triad and you guys sound like leech and psychopaths it's only when
01:21:24.340
it comes to hunting buffalo or something like we've got to hunt the animals i mean even the
01:21:29.500
american indians ate them didn't it was as long as they like used every part of the buffalo or
01:21:32.980
whatever it's part of the circle of life and all that but they were hippies good for you i mean i
01:21:37.480

01:22:47.160
i i didn't consent to okay these cats right i see you're cut cucked to cats well my wife brings

01:23:17.920
and she hates it i like dogs as well you know i like i like dogs are the kings not cats i do like i'm
01:23:24.220
more like a cat it's not really true to be honest well they're just i just much prefer a dog i think
01:23:28.780
they're just good good good people whereas cats are just yeah right i'm not saying cats are good
01:23:32.660
cats are definitely evil um but they are again there's something kind of aristocratic about the
01:23:37.280
cats they have a really high opinion of themselves i certainly live more like a cat because they're
01:23:41.500
loners but i have the loyalty of a dog so i prefer i've preferred loyalty of a dog i do like kind
01:23:46.800
nice cats i don't like cats that like won't let you walk up the stairs yeah or cats that look at you
01:23:52.000
like if i was 200 pounds i would kill you and eat you right now i don't like that i don't want that
01:23:56.360
in my house every cat is like that if you were some are affectionate and they yeah and they wouldn't
01:24:01.360
kill a mouse if they could someone like that aren't they no and they'd all kill their owners if they
01:24:05.600
could all those cat ladies yeah if if you were mouse sized your cat would just kill you it'd play
01:24:10.000
with you kill you i'm sorry you've got six of them in your house i know i know you could team up
01:24:14.560
i know as most dogs they've got to learn that i'm the one who's bigger that's nice most domestic
01:24:18.480
dogs are ultra loyal and affectionate aren't they mostly so uh what's not to love about them exactly
01:24:24.000
i think you could struggle if six cats went for you at once you could struggle to fight them off
01:24:27.440
you'd definitely incur some you'd incur some damage at very least i'd be scratched and bleeding
01:24:32.500
doubtless right but you like you've got a cat weighs a couple of pounds yeah you'd be bashing
01:24:37.060
them yeah you'd win i'm not saying you'd lose you could snap their back easily you could just crush
01:24:40.780
them with your hand like they're not not chinese they're not big strong animals but they've just got
01:24:45.840
sharp claws which is annoying but once you're bleeding a few times okay well you know you've
01:24:49.280
got to get it done right um turn and pull this one yeah exactly you know and i don't want to do that
01:24:54.400
obviously so my cat didn't want to do any of this yeah it's calm just bloodbath wife comes home
01:24:59.600
and my cats have laid a trap for me and they're all coordinating they start leaping at me for it'll be
01:25:05.920
quite a surprise but i'm like oh no i knew this day was coming right i don't reach it you wanted this
01:25:11.520
because she brought them home yeah exactly i knew this day was coming and all i'm saying is
01:25:15.980
psychologically i prepared for it and i didn't want this to be the i didn't hesitate for a second
01:25:21.260
i prepared for it they started it they drew first blood cats what are you doing i've always been so
01:25:27.780

01:26:04.400
thanks mum facebook rupert has got massive reach on facebook so the argument that no one knows who
01:26:13.060
rupert lo is no one's ever heard of purely online phenomenon they tell me but the thing is boomers
01:26:18.640

01:26:25.260
uh ai slop is one shotting them but so is rupert lo's farm video yeah farm video yeah let's go to the next
01:27:05.160
Very. And beautiful windows and light coming in. Amazing.
01:27:07.960
I'm still hung up on why I now have to kill all of my cats.
01:27:13.100
A bit nervous about getting home tonight, to be honest.
01:27:16.940
I wanted to sample other Heinlein works and so read Time Enough for Love.
01:27:20.660
A man born in the late 1800s has lived for thousands of years and become tired of life.
01:27:25.900
His family have him, in the 1001 night style, tell his stories to restore his interest in living.
01:27:31.680
He is the progenitor of a huge family across the galaxy where ultra-long life requires science advanced to the point where inbreeding is controlled at the genetic level.
01:27:39.720
Eventually he desires to go back in time to see his first family.
01:27:45.360
It is here the story deals with themes of love most intricately and, unfortunately, most incestuously.
01:27:53.240
I was about to read it until that last sentence.
01:27:56.920
I listen to the audio book whilst playing computer games.
01:28:01.060
I've listened to four or five or six different Heinlein books.
01:28:07.800
I just read C.S. Lewis's Ransom Tudgy, but I'm going to read this now.
01:28:17.000
So, last week, the Prime Minister of Australia invited the Israeli president to come over
01:28:22.500
to hand these condolences to the victims of the Bondi attack.
01:28:26.260
It would shock absolutely no one that the pro-Palestinian protest came in mass.
01:28:31.640
And despite being allowed to march provided the route that the authorities gave them,
01:28:36.440
they rejected this outright and tried to overwhelm police.
01:28:39.840
Which, of course, led to the police having no choice but to brutally crush down on the protesters.
01:28:46.080
Honestly, everybody in Australia is just sick of these pro-Palestinian protesters.
01:28:53.020
Can you be thoroughly against them and not be pro-Netanyahu?
01:29:06.120
Speaking of lab-growing meat, have you ever noticed that they don't tell you what kind
01:29:13.400
If aliens invaded, we'd call them AI-generated?
01:29:22.680
Morgoth proven once more correct about his thesis on woke North Korea.
01:29:28.200
So, Morgoth was like, it looks like the rest of the world is probably going to abandon woke,
01:29:31.080
and yet we will be stuck with Keir Starmer and his ultra-woke government, like some kind
01:29:35.220
of woke North Korea, and yeah, it's essentially coming around, actually.
01:29:40.460
People outside of Britain can join Restore Britain.
01:29:48.520
You don't want allegations of foreign influence and things like this.
01:29:54.540
So, if you are a native, join, but if you are a well-wisher, just keep raising awareness.
01:30:03.160
Apparently, RazorFist spoke about me on stream.
01:30:07.340
CrankTexan says, Trojan horse is a great metaphor for the Greens.
01:30:13.580
Yeah, I mean, it literally is like a Trojan horse party.
01:30:22.240
After what's been done to our countries, our peoples, and how much of our children's
01:30:24.720
features have been given away to hostile foreigners, how can we not look back in anger?
01:30:30.200
Well, if I'm to be governed by a gap-toothed retard, I'd rather it be Frankie MacDonald
01:30:40.640
But, yeah, the sentiment is we don't want Zach Polanski.
01:30:44.800
I'm an orthodox Jew and genuinely think about voting Restore.
01:30:47.460
It's worth it to pay more for imported kosher meat if England is saved.
01:30:53.800
So, join us in half an hour for Lads Hour, where we're going to be having the ideal cabinet
01:30:59.180
made up of all of the people we like on social media.
