The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters #1363

00:00:00.220 Hello and welcome to the podcast of Lotus Eaters episode 1,363. I'm your host Harry, joined today by Josh and Firaz.

00:00:09.420 Hello, hello.

00:00:10.220 And we're going to be talking about the Democrats' alternative State of the Union address. That's what I see up on screen right now. I can't wait.

00:00:18.800 Josh is going to...

00:00:19.740 Lost their minds.

00:00:21.820 Did they ever find it in the first place?

00:00:23.820 Nope.

00:00:24.960 Josh is going to tell me about how we might be able to afford houses soon.

00:00:29.000 Yes.

00:00:29.440 Are P&O cruisers going to be happy about this?

00:00:32.920 They might not, actually.

00:00:34.440 Oh my god.

00:00:36.080 It might actually be a very good thing if you don't own a house.

00:00:40.200 But, you know, basically good for me, you two, get lost.

00:00:44.680 I don't own a house.

00:00:45.980 Oh, you don't?

00:00:46.600 No.

00:00:47.160 Join the club.

00:00:48.380 Hey, my Dino box is a very great value, alright?

00:00:52.400 Okay.

00:00:53.520 I love spying on my neighbour's gardens.

00:00:57.380 Oh, that's rough, isn't it?

00:00:58.380 Yeah, yeah.

00:00:59.120 At least you got one.

00:01:00.500 Yeah, at least I got one.

00:01:02.460 And I'm going to be talking to everybody about just some updates with British politics.

00:01:07.820 Is the Gorton and Denton by-election right now the most important election of our lives

00:01:12.900 until the next one, which will then be the next new most important election of our lives?

00:01:18.320 So I'm just going to give us an update on some stuff and a clip going around of Danny Kruger

00:01:23.720 on Winston Marshall, which has generated some controversy.

00:01:27.780 Anything else that we need to announce, chaps?

00:01:30.340 No, I think we can get to it.

00:01:33.240 Watch the roundtable that we did last night talking about Restore as well, by the way,

00:01:36.860 if you're subscribed to the website.

00:01:38.600 It was an enjoyable one, even if I was very... I was so sleepy.

00:01:42.960 I could tell you were uncharacteristically quiet.

00:01:46.480 I'm sure everybody appreciated the break.

00:01:48.780 I did wonder why it was so well-balanced and polite.

00:01:53.260 Maybe I should get up at 4.30 more often for these things.

00:01:56.540 Yeah, whenever you're recording with me, could you please do that?

00:01:58.980 All right, yeah.

00:01:59.660 We'll give it a go.

00:02:00.520 Anyway.

00:02:00.880 I feel so mean jokingly saying that.

00:02:03.080 That's all right, Josh.

00:02:04.200 Whatever, you know, keeps you going day in, day out.

00:02:06.740 There mustn't be much.

00:02:07.920 Don't be a good sport about it.

00:02:09.500 That's even worse.

00:02:12.020 All right, let's get on with it then.

00:02:13.660 Killing them with kindness.

00:02:15.820 Or, in the Democrats' case, kill them with madness.

00:02:20.000 Yesterday, Trump gave his State of the Union address,

00:02:24.320 and it was, as usual, vintage Trump.

00:02:27.080 And it seems that he, again, managed to get the left to show

00:02:34.360 that they are completely out of their minds.

00:02:38.100 And it's not even debatable.

00:02:40.060 Some of them boycotted the State of the Union speech

00:02:43.500 and instead held an alternative event.

00:02:46.720 And for your sins, you are going to be compelled to watch

00:02:50.820 some of the alternative performances that the Democrats had for you.

00:02:57.080 I'm fresh out of an ice prison in Minneapolis.

00:03:02.180 I've been arrested three times by ice over absurdity,

00:03:07.200 over us being ourselves,

00:03:09.400 over me singing songs like,

00:03:12.140 Hey, Mr. Tangerine, man,

00:03:15.340 get rid of brown people for me.

00:03:17.560 I'm Ary and white.

00:03:18.940 There ain't no place I'm going to.

00:03:24.260 Still better than Bob Dylan.

00:03:25.500 You will notice the furry

00:03:29.480 wearing women's underwear

00:03:32.620 over his clothing

00:03:34.420 was attended

00:03:37.360 by sitting members of Congress

00:03:41.140 instead of actually going to

00:03:44.060 the State of the Union speech.

00:03:46.100 So what the hell is this?

00:03:47.700 Is this actually sponsored by the Democrats?

00:03:49.860 You say it was attended by some Democrats.

00:03:51.560 It's got this defiance.org thing in the background.

00:03:54.600 I thought it was only a matter of time

00:03:56.000 before he exposed himself in some way.

00:03:58.880 I'm not aware that he did on stage.

00:04:01.580 I am relatively certain that he did in the after party.

00:04:06.160 And this wasn't really all of it.

00:04:10.140 You should see Chuck Schumer's reaction.

00:04:12.540 He described the State of the Union

00:04:13.960 as Trump's state of delusion

00:04:15.720 and went on to a rather big attack

00:04:20.220 against him.

00:04:21.580 But I'm sort of wondering

00:04:22.740 which one is more delusional,

00:04:24.340 the furry in women's underwear

00:04:26.180 on top of his clothes

00:04:27.300 or Donald Trump.

00:04:28.380 And I think it's the furry.

00:04:31.200 I don't know.

00:04:31.940 I could be biased.

00:04:33.100 I could be biased.

00:04:37.560 During the State of the Union,

00:04:38.960 there were the regular chants

00:04:41.720 of USA, USA.

00:04:43.240 We know that the Americans love doing that.

00:04:45.660 But then there was somebody

00:04:47.320 who chanted something slightly different.

00:04:49.060 USA, USA, USA, USA, USA.

00:04:57.300 And she's whispering KKK

00:04:59.400 to everybody,

00:05:00.880 I never took her for a Klan.

00:05:01.840 To Han Omar.

00:05:02.460 To be honest.

00:05:03.340 They're very diverse.

00:05:04.040 You never know who's under the hood.

00:05:05.960 They used to be a little more selective.

00:05:08.780 The Klan used to be

00:05:09.620 a little more discriminatory

00:05:10.720 in who it would recruit.

00:05:11.940 But now, apparently,

00:05:13.520 they'll just take anybody these days,

00:05:15.180 goddammit.

00:05:15.800 Since introducing DEI measures,

00:05:17.660 the Ku Klux Klan

00:05:18.580 have really gone down really really it's it's david duke really sold out it's it's it's quite

00:05:24.940 terrible the most disappointing thing about that is i mean come on if you're gonna do something

00:05:29.180 like that don't be all sly and under your breath about it go just do a full throat harry says shout

00:05:35.660 kkk at the top of your lungs if you are this person in this particular situation you're

00:05:41.760 trying to be cringe just do it can we get rashida clave on cameo so that we can get her to stand

00:05:48.560 kkk i think that could work i think we could get her on cameo and get her chanting kkk it might be

00:05:56.840 probably her next business saying riz uh big chungus all sorts of nonsense on the garage line

00:06:04.300 exciting things that could happen um

00:06:09.280 i mean i mean the the visuals from it were genuinely striking

00:06:15.100 the visuals were really striking let's have another look because just

00:06:20.080 who blocked the removal of criminal aliens in many cases drug laws so this person here is actually a man

00:06:28.380 all right dressed up as a woman

00:06:32.440 this is ilhan omar and this is rashida clave and they're just sort of

00:06:39.180 yelling at trump as he's talking about crime and the problems that come with illegal migrants

00:06:46.140 and crime and they are sticking to their guns in terms of defending the

00:06:51.060 illegals and this isn't sort of all of it we had the capital police arrest ilhan omar's guest

00:06:59.300 who was there trying to just stand up and not let anybody see the proceedings and shouting and so on and

00:07:06.200 so forth it turns out that the same woman had previously been arrested

00:07:10.880 in a confrontation with ice and this is who ilhan omar decided to bring

00:07:17.560 as her guest to the state of the union speech

00:07:20.540 you kind of go well you're organizing militias now

00:07:24.980 and you're admitting it openly and then you're inviting the militias that you organize to congress

00:07:29.400 but they don't seem to see any problem with that this is the sort of baseline that they're operating

00:07:36.020 off of um you had some pretty striking visuals this is representative al green a democrat from texas

00:07:45.360 and i'm not aware of anybody having said that about him and i feel that he doth protest too much

00:07:53.880 but well this is in response to the the video that trump put out isn't it where right right right

00:08:00.180 put on apes bodies but then it wasn't actually trump that did that and also there were lots of other

00:08:07.040 things about it that nobody else picked up on which were been seen as egregious as well right

00:08:11.780 so um you know there he was uh the democrats have decided that they're so anti-trump that they were

00:08:21.520 attacking john fetterman who is a congressman who is a senator i believe from pennsylvania

00:08:28.260 for having shaken hands with trump and it fell to john fetterman to defend decorum

00:08:34.460 now famously john fetterman is a man who goes to the senate floor in a hoodie and shorts

00:08:41.400 and that's the last line of defense for decorum in the democratic party and it seems to be

00:08:48.680 telling me something that things have sort of fallen apart quite badly well when when he was

00:08:56.340 uh going up for election he shortly before suffered some sort of brain injury a very severe stroke yes

00:09:01.860 yeah and uh it's sort of telling that the man who suffered that is the most reasonable person in your

00:09:07.700 party that he's the only one that seems to have some decency left and is trying not to rock the boat

00:09:16.040 more than needs to be rocked i did notice that when he had that stroke that a lot of people were commenting

00:09:21.800 that he seemed more reasonable and well spoken after it strange things been known to happen

00:09:27.560 strange things happen this is a clip that you absolutely must watch and let's just talk about this for a second

00:09:36.200 but surely we can all agree no state can be allowed to rip children from their parents

00:09:42.200 did we get the volume up

00:09:46.040 i think that's a bit better for us

00:09:49.400 we can all agree no state can be allowed to rip children from their parents arms and transition them

00:09:55.720 to a new gender against the parents will who would believe that we've been talking about

00:10:00.440 we must ban it and we must ban it immediately

00:10:04.680 look nobody stands up these people are crazy i'm telling you they're crazy

00:10:23.080 like i said i don't think it's debatable that the democrats are crazy if you can't support the idea

00:10:28.680 that the state doesn't have the right to take away your child and transition them

00:10:34.120 you are insane and you are asking for violence i mean this isn't going to be allowed this isn't

00:10:41.480 tolerable and they just gave trump this massive win by refusing to accept the idea that the state

00:10:49.400 doesn't have the right to take away your children and give them chemicals that castrate them destroy

00:10:56.760 their bone density destroy their bone development destroy their brain development well and this is

00:11:02.760 is a medium as permanently permanent clients of the medical establishment as well as mentally deranged

00:11:11.480 well i was going to say this is after two high profile in canada and america trans shootings as

00:11:17.480 well several over the last few years but yes yeah but in the last just in the last few weeks past few

00:11:23.480 weeks two very high profile ones yes i like how it cuts to a democrat there with no one sat around him

00:11:28.840 it's just a funny bit of frank because a lot of them boycotted and um it's it's it's just complete

00:11:37.800 madness here's al-jazeera english covering the event donald trump sparked uproar during his state

00:11:45.240 of the union address after asking lawmakers to prove their loyalty to the us drawing calls out from

00:11:51.800 representative ilhan omar i again you must watch this because you have to see this because you have

00:11:58.040 to understand what is actually happening if you agree with this statement then stand up and show

00:12:06.440 your support the first duty of the american government is to protect american citizens not illegal aliens

00:12:14.520 you should be ashamed of yourself not standing up you should be ashamed of yourself that is why i'm also

00:12:33.800 asking you to end deadly sanctuary cities that protect the criminals and enact serious penalties for public officials

00:12:42.520 who blocked the removal of criminal aliens in many cases drug lords murderers all over our country

00:12:55.640 this is not subject to debate the duty of the state is first and foremost to its citizens

00:13:02.760 you basically got an excellent campaign out there that's perfect yeah they refuse to stand up in defense

00:13:10.920 of the idea that the first duty of the state is towards its citizens again i'm not trying to push a line

00:13:18.920 here but it is insane to object to this idea you can't have a government if everybody all over the world

00:13:27.880 is that government's responsibility the only way to do that is to have a totalizing global government

00:13:34.520 government under the control of a tiny group of people who represent absolutely nobody and then you

00:13:42.760 say well the alternative to this global totalitarianism is for each nation to have its own government

00:13:50.760 and you get the democrats saying no we don't support that idea what they're doing in

00:13:55.400 the chamber at all then if they don't believe in a national government why even bother good question

00:14:03.480 because they're representing constituents that aren't necessarily in the country legally that's true

00:14:09.080 and ilhan omar almost explicitly obviously like how so perhaps holding to stereotypes there and

00:14:15.080 shouting out when everyone else is trying to listen well so what else is she going to do she

00:14:19.640 i mean have you you know debates in somalia are resolved in slightly less peaceful ways

00:14:25.080 yeah i'm gonna assume make some guesswork here that a lot of these people are staying sat down just

00:14:30.520 because they're worried that it'll go against the party line yes to stand up which is worrying in

00:14:34.920 itself if that's the party line yeah but also that people like ilhan omar and some of the representatives

00:14:41.080 that have maybe hispanic communities whose their constituents are like well you know like i could stand up

00:14:48.040 but my constituents whether here legally or not are basically planning on bringing the rest of their

00:14:53.720 family over here illegally anyway so uh best play for them and that just goes to show like who these

00:14:59.720 people are all representing anyway so i mean this is the fundamental point of government if you have

00:15:06.680 a representative government you're there to represent your own people by definition legal voters

00:15:13.400 if you're there not to represent legal voters what are you there for to destroy the country to destroy

00:15:21.960 the country and that seems to be exactly what the democrats want um it's absolutely wild and then you

00:15:30.200 sort of contrast it with what bill clinton was saying 20 years ago the first duty of the american

00:15:39.000 government is to protect american citizens not illegal aliens

00:15:49.880 only in the states most heavily affected but in every place in this country are rightly disturbed by

00:15:54.200 the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country the jobs they hold might otherwise be held

00:16:01.720 by citizens or legal immigrants the public service they use impose burdens on our taxpayers

00:16:07.720 that's why our administration has moved aggressively to secure our borders more by hiring a record number

00:16:13.160 of new border guards by deporting twice as many criminal aliens as ever before by cracking down on

00:16:18.840 illegal hiring by barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens in the budget i will present to you we will

00:16:25.640 try to do more to speed the deportation of illegal aliens who are arrested for crimes to better identify

00:16:31.720 illegal aliens in the work face as recommended by the commission headed by former congresswoman barba jordan

00:16:38.600 we are a nation of immigrants but we are also a nation of laws it is wrong and ultimately self-defeating

00:16:46.600 for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years

00:16:52.600 and we must do more to stop it

00:17:06.440 bipartisan applause both parties supported this 20 years ago except that when bill bill clinton said this

00:17:13.640 he was lying well yes because the demographics of america were such at that point that even the

00:17:19.480 democratic supporters weren't happy about illegal immigration exactly so he had to pretend to be

00:17:24.920 something that he was not but it was understood by all people of some mild sanity that you had to say

00:17:33.960 that the duty of the government was towards its people and against illegal immigrants

00:17:38.440 this was accepted now they've allowed the demographic change to accelerate to such an extent that they no

00:17:44.360 longer need to wear the mask and indeed they can no longer afford to wear the mask because of their constituents

00:17:52.360 that now they can no longer defend this

00:17:55.720 so it sort of casts the whole immigration issue in a different light

00:17:59.720 this is basically this is bill clinton doing what boris johnson did in britain

00:18:05.000 pretending to be something that he wasn't allowing things to get out of control

00:18:10.040 and then now you just have to live with it there's nothing you can do about it and that's been the

00:18:15.240 playbook and this is a complete mask off moment but it discredits the entire idea of representative

00:18:21.880 democracy and it really threatens the possibility that there are no longer any democratic solutions to this

00:18:29.880 that's the risk that they're taking by removing their masks that's what they're doing and it is mad

00:18:37.480 because anybody who knows anything about civil conflict would not want this

00:18:41.320 but that's what they're pushing towards and it's just complete insanity

00:18:47.240 let's go on and see a few more things

00:18:51.400 trump honored irina zarutska and said that criminals should be in jail and that they shouldn't be

00:18:58.760 tolerated and that people shouldn't be allowed to get out of jail

00:19:02.920 20 30 times after committing violent crimes the republican side of the chamber stood up and applauded

00:19:13.000 the democratic side of the chamber did not

00:19:17.880 they their clients are very similar to that of the bolsheviks aren't they really essentially they're

00:19:24.360 they're just the worst kinds of human beings imaginable they're criminals they're they're rapists

00:19:29.880 they're murderers those people who they represent and and they're conscious of it as well and in the past

00:19:38.760 they had to pretend to be something else at least

00:19:42.840 now they no longer need to pretend

00:19:45.560 and that's why when keir starmer took power what was the first thing that he did he opened the jails

00:19:50.680 like okay thank you for that

00:19:54.200 but this is completely crazy and this is not something that you want to do to your people

00:20:00.040 but here they are they refuse to offer any kind of support

00:20:07.800 same thing they they just refuse to stand

00:20:12.040 and they are against trump on everything no matter what he says

00:20:16.280 he brags about ending wars sometimes he overplays his role

00:20:21.000 but the reaction to ending a war to a war ending ought to be applause ought to be support ought to be

00:20:27.160 this is a good thing but when he says he ended wars which you know in the case of india pakistan he

00:20:34.200 definitely played a big role and in many other cases he played a big role he's failed on ukraine

00:20:40.120 fair enough but he's he's the only reason there's a ceasefire in gaza right now

00:20:45.080 and when he says we ended wars what do they do they laugh and ignore him

00:20:53.080 i think they've just taken a blanket stance of defiance against anything and everything trump

00:20:57.560 is doing and saying completely what's his virtue signaling to their own side isn't it and the optics

00:21:03.080 are so horrendous that trump got a political prisoner under maduro released and got him back to his

00:21:11.160 family during the state of the union address very theatrical very vintage trump but that was precisely

00:21:18.440 the moment when rashid atlaib and elhan omar got sick and tired of simply heckling and literally left the

00:21:25.080 chamber i mean if you're going to oppose trump on everything at least have some political news at least

00:21:33.400 have some understanding of optics at least have some respect for the audience but that was the moment they

00:21:41.160 decided to walk out and it's just so striking that they would keep on doing these crazy things

00:21:48.280 in another vintage trump trump attacked insider trading by congress which i thought was fantastic

00:21:57.880 because we know i mean if you've invested with warren buffett or invested with nancy pelosi you would

00:22:04.280 make more money with nancy pelosi and nancy pelosi for all of her qualities is not actually smarter than

00:22:10.200 warren buffett i think that's pretty safe to say yeah you know we can say that and so he calls it out

00:22:17.800 and to their credit a lot of democrats applauded but he did manage to pick on nancy pelosi rightly so

00:22:23.880 she's one of the worst offenders she is egregious it's completely unacceptable but he did manage to

00:22:30.840 dig to to sort of hit them with that dig and here's a moment that you're gonna absolutely love

00:22:38.440 we'll balance our budget the somali pirates who ransacked minnesota remind us that there are large

00:22:46.440 parts of the world where bribery corruption and lawlessness are the norm not the exception

00:22:53.000 importing these cultures through unrestricted immigration and open borders brings those problems

00:22:58.840 right here to the usa and it is the american people who pay the price and higher medical bills car

00:23:05.320 insurance rates it's kinder than i would be yeah i mean where's the where's the lie exactly where's the

00:23:12.200 lie where's like maybe she was shedding its ear thinking about oh i remember the good old days

00:23:16.520 she was thinking of some good old piracy that she'd done she was not she's thinking about her campaign

00:23:21.960 donations and and how tim waltz managed to assemble that war fund um you see some voices on the democratic

00:23:30.440 side realizing that this is crazy and here is john fetterman saying that if you have these dancing

00:23:36.840 frogs running around i mean just look at this just look at this you have to see this i don't care if

00:23:41.720 it's a republican or democrat as a president just don't do that don't do that respect the office

00:23:47.480 regardless who's in that and now for for me it's like now when half the people in my party haven't

00:23:53.560 showed up uh and then this woman underneath was actually dancing with frogs and had some kind of

00:24:01.800 frog show as part of the counter state of the union protest thanking the french for their help in the

00:24:10.440 i don't understand what's happening here during the halftime show of the super bowl there was the

00:24:16.520 turning point usa right patriotic um uh halftime show that they did so people could switch over if

00:24:23.720 they wanted and watch that instead because the other one was like cringe like puerto rican speaking

00:24:28.600 spanish aggressively at you i don't have my wallet on me sorry right now please don't hurt me um and

00:24:35.240 people were calling that out as cringe but it's like i mean they're doing the exact same thing like

00:24:40.760 like all of this politics is is cringe i'm sorry when people behave in this way it is really cringe

00:24:46.680 fetterman seems to be mistakenly operating under an older paradigm of kind of waspish decency

00:24:54.840 and manners sylvania is a purple state yeah and so he has to make sure that the republicans in his

00:25:02.200 constituency still respect him enough to for him not to be destroyed in america in some places

00:25:08.680 you can see exemplified by someone like ilan omar you're well outside of the realm of waspish decency

00:25:14.280 and manners towards the opponent where there is a fundamental and foundational uh agreement between

00:25:21.480 everybody that there are certain rules that we all acknowledge as being true yes you don't behave

00:25:26.280 in this way you don't do these things we all want what's best for the country this is tribal politics

00:25:31.240 now that's just not the case they don't care completely to their credits some democrat supporters

00:25:36.760 saw that this was completely mad and cbs was critical of the democrats refusing to stand when trump

00:25:44.200 said that the duty of the state is towards its own citizens first i mean it might not play well with

00:25:49.160 voters there are still plenty of democrat voters i would expect again probably the more waspy types

00:25:56.520 who are like no i still care about what's best for the country i just don't believe that what the

00:26:00.120 republicans are doing is best for the country and they don't see all of the side order effects that

00:26:04.200 comes with democrat policies right and then they just see the democrats explicitly being like screw

00:26:09.720 this country ilhan omar the house democratic leader hakeem jeffries advised your caucus the democratic

00:26:17.480 members to either skip the state of the union address or sit there in silence should you have just

00:26:23.400 boycotted the address and do you think you violated the guidelines set out by your own leader

00:26:29.880 no i think it was um really unavoidable uh the president talked about protecting americans

00:26:36.680 uh and i just had to remind him that his administration was responsible um for killing

00:26:43.160 two of my constituents in minneapolis many members of your democratic party criticized their republican

00:26:49.720 counterparts when they interrupted president biden's state of the union address as a lot of us remember

00:26:54.920 do you have any regrets at all about the interaction uh we played between you and president trump just last

00:27:01.080 night i do not um and i i think uh many people um look zero regrets the far left has zero regrets they

00:27:13.080 don't actually give a damn they don't really have any respect for their constituents and the republicans

00:27:20.520 saw it as an opportunity i mean to her mind and her constituents is probably a vote winner yes i i know

00:27:27.720 minneapolis being synonymous with black lives matter and the like you know they they see her shouting

00:27:32.520 out when everyone's trying to pay attention like she's just like me exactly i mean if it's it was

00:27:38.840 probably known by the republicans going into it that there was a democratic pact that you just stay

00:27:43.400 there you sit still you don't say anything right so that played right into the hands of the republicans

00:27:50.040 giving them the opportunity for this kind of uh aesthetic slam dunk the visual slam dunk of oh then

00:27:56.280 donald trump will just say like do you love america stand up if you love america and because

00:28:00.760 they all took the pact they're all sat there like morons going i guess i don't love america then

00:28:06.360 like like genius idea maybe you should like be a bit more dynamic with these things so that you don't

00:28:11.560 give them such propaganda it's it's a totalitarian party and the republicans are grateful the speaker of

00:28:18.360 the house mike johnson was saying you know i could have thrown them out for some of their antics but i

00:28:22.600 figured you know what let them keep at it this is this is excellent campaign advertising for us uh

00:28:30.200 chuck schumer is also on the no regrets brigade he insists that you know it was trump that he should

00:28:37.480 have been ashamed of himself not the democrats for even asking the question and i'm sort of running out

00:28:44.760 of time so i won't play all of the videos but they they are worth seeing but then he lets the quiet

00:28:50.760 part out loud and he says that what he wants is naturalization of all of the illegals which kind

00:28:56.760 of explains why you're about this he's been clear about for a for a long time he's been clear about

00:29:02.440 this for a while going on about it that at least as far as i know you can find articles going back

00:29:06.520 to like 2023 where he's talking about you could probably find articles where he's talking about it

00:29:09.880 decades ago i know you've sinned but i won't punish you by making you watch this video oh cheers bro

00:29:17.080 although you should for the call out you should not you personally all of us all of us we're all

00:29:23.160 we're all sinners it felt kind of targeted yeah harry oh sorry okay all right bumped your microphone

00:29:31.240 now they're getting aggressive at me getting in my space but i won't punish you by making you watch

00:29:36.280 this but here is a collection of elected representatives and other women using your

00:29:41.880 voice school i can tell already it is ridiculous but they're actually making fun of trump for

00:29:47.480 decorating a bunch of war heroes during the state of the union speech which i mean put if you're a war

00:29:55.640 hero and you get recognized in front of a joint session of congress by the president this is probably

00:30:01.560 the biggest moment of your life you've given the country everything you've fought you've bled

00:30:08.680 and you get these cackling harpies making fun of you i remember when westboro baptist church were

00:30:15.240 picketing military funerals and it didn't make them popular no no these guys got louis through no i

00:30:21.960 don't think they will funny enough um shame but i wanted to point out that this isn't just an american

00:30:29.000 thing and i wanted to close with a clip of rupert lowe who was talking as usual a lot of sense

00:30:37.800 we hear so much of the human rights for foreign pedophiles sex pests and murderers is not giving way

00:30:45.720 members may disagree with what he said what about what is in an orderly way what about the human rights

00:30:52.280 of the british people absolute nonsense the right the right the human rights of the british people

00:30:58.200 absolute nonsense well i'll remember that when leftism is a mental illness and i'm sick of pretending

00:31:06.760 otherwise and there is they have no redeeming qualities not at the leadership level maybe there

00:31:15.400 are some misguided individuals there but at the leadership level at the level of elected members

00:31:20.920 of congress at the level of elected mps these are people who will say what about the rights of the

00:31:26.840 citizens and their reply will be what nonsense thank you i thank you leftists for making it so clear

00:31:38.040 and so transparent and ending the debate in this way i appreciate it

00:31:45.720 anyway uh quite a few rumble rants we have a bunch of rumble rants i've just noticed what's happening

00:31:52.040 trending pedo yeah it's twitter i i i don't want to know at least it's spelled correct i was gonna say

00:32:00.280 it's spelled in the british manner so good yeah so we can we can leave it there a couple of comments here

00:32:06.440 here here one from refan 80 which will not read one yep uh one from sigil stone i'm disappointed

00:32:12.920 i was waiting for trump to bring bill gates declare and now we're going to stop corruption

00:32:18.040 and do something live on tv i can't read that again stop fed please stop that posting guys

00:32:24.440 please be careful with the fed posting not only is it could it cause legal trouble for us if we read

00:32:34.520 that's a random name nancy pelosi is a ghoulish hag who sniffs adrenochrome familiar with josh is

00:32:43.400 familiar with adrenochrome is he okay thank you not that he takes it himself oh it's it's not even a

00:32:51.080 real thing as far as i'm aware it's like a fictional drug so you say so you say and magnus 87 says i'm

00:32:58.120 very glad that i can no longer be said to be engaging in hyperbole when i call the demonstrators and

00:33:02.680 degenerates shall we shall we watch the rest of that dancing no furry do you want to see more of

00:33:10.600 the dancing furry oh i'm all right underpants outside of his clothes or can we move to the next

00:33:14.600 second like a superhero yeah yeah yeah yeah all right i've got a nice palette cleanser for you all

00:33:20.200 thank you please everybody i stole my thunder you little well you could say that the youtube

00:33:25.560 segment hasn't started yet come on yeah say it for youtube i've got to be original i've got to sleep at

00:33:30.680 night harry so i can't just copy what you've done oh all right then i actually have some good news for

00:33:37.960 once and that is the housing bubble seems to be bursting or at least the signs of the early stages

00:33:43.880 of it happening seem to be going on and as many of you know sorry if this is a little bit condescending

00:33:50.440 but just to make sure everyone's on the same page here's a depiction of the housing ladder and the the

00:33:55.640 problem in much of the western world at the minute is there are too many people on this top rung um

00:34:04.440 who are unable to sell their houses this is a new development because um lots of people are stuck on

00:34:11.000 the bottom rung because of course it is a ladder and by a ladder each stage is connected to the next

00:34:17.320 and so effects at the bottom affect the top and effects at the top affect the bottom and vice versa

00:34:23.080 it is a connected chain and so if people can't get their own houses they can't get their first

00:34:29.880 apartment as it says here or flat in britain then it affects everyone else and we're starting to see

00:34:37.400 those effects because of course you need if you're in a property chain someone's going to be upgrading their

00:34:44.200 property um up to a point and then maybe there'll be someone as as it has here downsizing but usually

00:34:51.160 there's a chain of maybe even eight ten twenty people sometimes um all reliant on each other and

00:34:58.280 if you break that chain it disrupts the property market because people do need to live in a house

00:35:04.040 you can't really have that much of a gap in between where you can just choose to be homeless and so

00:35:10.120 um that means that all of these are connected and so with lots of people who have had assets had

00:35:17.880 houses and they've been very asset rich from this because of course house prices have gone up

00:35:23.560 significantly relative to inflation and lots of other assets as well and so they've been a safe

00:35:28.680 investment but of course this created a massive bubble because by investing your money in property

00:35:33.480 um you're affecting the market in a way which will uh cause a very large rebound because by investing

00:35:41.800 a lot in property and having lots of people who have money using it as an investment rather than just

00:35:47.160 a home it means that getting your first apartment or your starter home is much much more difficult so

00:35:54.440 there's been a growing number of people with property um over the years and it's sort of gone

00:36:00.120 stagnant now and what's going to happen is those people with property are going to need to sell it

00:36:06.040 at some point no matter what um whether they're downsizing whether they're upgrading um you know

00:36:11.960 whether they're moving to a different area whatever it might be they need to sell to someone and

00:36:16.360 they're not going to be able to and part of the problem is this that this is uh from 1968 to 2024 in

00:36:27.480 the united kingdom the blue line is the average home price for all property types and then the

00:36:33.720 orange one is the median annual earnings for all adults and as you can see uh the median um earnings

00:36:40.520 have gone up steadily whereas property prices have skyrocketed and of course um a significant factor

00:36:48.200 here is increasing demand through immigration we've had unprecedented population increases from that and

00:36:54.200 this is true pretty much all of the developed world all of the western world on every single graph

00:37:00.360 like this the spike always starts in the same place it does doesn't it yeah around the mid to late 90s

00:37:07.720 and it just keeps going up and even even a bloody housing crash couldn't make too much of a dent

00:37:15.160 in that in that spike no it's such a massively inflated bubble that people are in for a reality

00:37:23.320 check like you can't just accumulate property infinitely because there has to be people to buy

00:37:29.320 it there has to be people that can even afford to rent it if you're renting it out and by hoarding all

00:37:34.520 the property in a in a select group of people it's a self-defeating thing because it's going to have to return

00:37:40.840 well i would expect in britain this is part of the reason for the uh for the inheritance taxes

00:37:47.160 is that obviously a lot of that housing is not only being propped up by immigration

00:37:52.520 which is going to be a vast majority of it also a lot of the the older housing is going to be held

00:37:57.320 onto by boomers and uh gen x's and people who are starting to get on maybe they're thinking of downsizing

00:38:04.840 maybe they're going to die in their homes and eventually it will get passed on through their

00:38:09.480 children but with the inheritance taxes well they might not be able to pay all of the inheritance

00:38:14.760 taxes if those houses are worth a pretty penny you don't want to you can't have them passing on all

00:38:19.320 of that to their own family that would be immoral or something and so well you won't be able to afford

00:38:25.160 to pay your house pay for all of that so you're gonna have to put it back on the market or maybe a nice

00:38:30.120 housing developer and snap all of that up for you and then you'll have the money to pay for the

00:38:36.200 inheritance tax but all of the housing is now going to be held within an oligopoly

00:38:43.160 so even in london which is known for having the highest wages in britain you can see that wages

00:38:50.200 have not kept up with the house prices in london anyone who's ever tried to look for property in

00:38:55.000 london will know this very well and in fact even when you look at a regional breakdown here we've got

00:39:01.640 the north in blue london in red and the uk as a whole in green you can see that um there's some

00:39:09.400 sort of spike here from seemingly immigration demand um whereas in the north it's sort of static from

00:39:17.160 about 2008 with a slight increase and this is house price to earnings ratio and so it's a bit more

00:39:25.160 livable in the north but in some places where the highest paying work is it's gone up significantly

00:39:31.000 and i think that this is more merit um of people having to move for jobs increasingly this has

00:39:37.880 become you know internal migration within the united kingdom and other comparable countries has largely

00:39:45.160 pushed you know capital cities and major cities house prices spiking and that's simply because the

00:39:50.600 wages in places like the north aren't high enough you know yourself a good example of that you you've

00:39:57.160 come from the north to for work pressure close enough north to me yeah it's north to a lot of

00:40:03.160 people but from people further north the real north um yeah one of the other problems with london as

00:40:10.120 well and this is this goes for lots of different cities this goes for new york and loads of places as

00:40:14.680 well is that one of the big problems that this creates is obviously a lot of the jobs are being

00:40:19.160 taken up by immigrants and a lot of that's coming in and there's a lot of movement to the to london for

00:40:23.640 the jobs as well but there are a lot of menial jobs that don't pay very well that need to be dealt to

00:40:31.560 that need to be uh for uh filled in london anyway it's the classic like who's going to serve my pret

00:40:37.080 right and you've got immigrants and you've got young people coming in there but you can't afford

00:40:41.720 to live in london if you're just working as a barista a coffee shop even on minimum wage so either

00:40:47.320 you have to pack yourself into tiny overly expensive flats where you need five or six roommates to be

00:40:53.720 able to afford the place or as is the case with lots of immigrants you're on the social housing ladder

00:40:59.800 which again actually just sucks up more of the uh afford more of the property and makes all the rest

00:41:05.560 of it less affordable it's a complete racket no to be fair london just don't live there that's my

00:41:13.800 advice just don't live there why would you do that to yourself and of course um this is from december

00:41:19.000 of 24 um left-wingers are blaming it on uh russian money laundering um is pushing up housing prices

00:41:27.560 fooling absolutely no one because obviously um the russians aren't buying up millions of homes i think

00:41:34.120 the russian state would run out of money if they were doing this all across the developed and western

00:41:38.120 world the british establishment has a single hammer labeled russia and they everything is a nail

00:41:46.360 so as i was saying there's the same problem in the us here's um wages at the bottom median income

00:41:52.760 and median house price and in 2023 when this was published it was 5.3 times uh the meat annual you know

00:42:02.680 income annual income versus house prices so it is almost exactly the same which seems to suggest

00:42:09.560 that it is the political paradigm which the west operates under of mass migration uh basically economic

00:42:16.280 liberalism that sort of thing right and you can even have a look at oh i'm missing a link there samson

00:42:26.120 um there there's a graph which i've got from australia that samson's going to pull up

00:42:30.200 um i'll just highlight it for you this one um which shows construction costs and home prices and as you

00:42:41.000 can see construction costs have steadily increased whereas house prices they're skyrocketed which

00:42:46.840 suggests that it's not caused by that so i've tried to isolate as many factors as possible

00:42:53.000 but there's an interesting phenomenon here um here someone's saying no one would have believed

00:42:58.200 you that if back in 2013 that buying a 1 million property in zone 2 which is one of the desirable

00:43:03.240 zones in london would result in zero zero capital growth in 13 years um yet here we are so they

00:43:11.160 bought it in 2013 and it's being listed at the minute for exactly the same price that's very unusual

00:43:18.120 even given rates of inflation given the increase in property prices this suggests the trend prior

00:43:24.520 immediately prior to it but yeah everything would suggest that this figure would have gone up so

00:43:32.360 they're actually making a significant loss here on this property um after buying it in 2013 um because

00:43:39.800 the the cost of a million in 2026 is much much less significantly i mean i mean looking at that

00:43:45.480 single trend over the course of 13 years there you would expect it to if it were to continue like

00:43:50.920 that be at least around two and a half million yeah exactly and uh callum you may you may remember

00:43:57.480 him from uh lotus eaters um no it's that he was that quiet guy who would stare at you sometimes on the

00:44:02.840 podcast you remember him i guess a lot of people staring at him oh it's okay steven wolf oh yeah yeah

00:44:12.360 yeah it might have been yeah um sounds like him um but he collated lots of different examples um here

00:44:19.400 there's a property listed in 2022 um that is now being sold for a million here's one that sold for

00:44:28.200 just over two million in 2023 that's being listed for 1.2 million it just three years later so this

00:44:35.640 is a recent development very very recent this is yvette cooper this is yvette cooper in action uh people

00:44:44.040 with a lot of money are just deciding to leave well this is all in london so these house prices are

00:44:49.240 actually not that unreasonable for just a family home in london well i mean i mean a million pounds

00:44:56.920 for a home is an insane amount outside of london but it's not in london yes yeah at least in america

00:45:03.240 if you're spending that kind of money you would expect like a mcmansion that's very true but american

00:45:08.680 houses are much bigger relative to americans americans rightfully laugh at us for the what you get for

00:45:14.200 your money for houses over here it's a ripoff um even before it was inflated to this degree yeah

00:45:19.960 here's another one uh one you know basically one and a quarter million to one million here

00:45:27.400 1.3 million roughly to 1.1 yeah um another thing here that was nearly two million to

00:45:36.600 one and a quarter one and a quarter you get the the gist right there's lots and lots of examples of

00:45:42.280 people not being able to sell their houses because people don't buy them and nobody wants to live in

00:45:48.680 london if you have a family you don't want to live in london it's it's it's bad place i mean it stinks of

00:45:56.840 weed everywhere uh i remember going to some meetings at 10 a.m getting out of the tube station and the

00:46:04.440 waft of weed hits me what a stone is doing up at 10 a.m i don't know oh they're still up from the

00:46:10.280 night before yeah that'll be it so here's a a really compelling example 1995 1005 you know

00:46:18.280 yeah still a bit much for a studio flat it is um by our standards but it is london

00:46:25.000 uh 2015 2.2 million 2026 1.2 million wow so that just shows the absolute collapse in demand

00:46:34.440 opportunities abounding mm-hmm and not that anybody's going to take them because it would

00:46:39.880 mean moving to london this could in part be explained by the fact that londoners are fleeing

00:46:45.640 the city that they've ruined basically um by their voting behavior to the surrounding areas and being

00:46:53.240 from this part of the world i have special hatred against london i was gonna say get out don't don't

00:46:58.280 no if you're in london already if you're still in london stay in london just don't go to devon and

00:47:03.560 call and we'll go somewhere else or i'll get you um don't stop buying our houses you scumbags

00:47:09.960 you're horrible people um i'm sorry um regional rivalry um and then we have the daily mail here

00:47:18.520 on the 21st 75 days ago why flats are flatlining sales collapsing prices plummeting and free factors

00:47:25.080 killing the market stone dead experts untold story blah blah blah blah you know daily mail headlines

00:47:29.400 are very long but basically um this property expert is saying that the first rung on the

00:47:35.080 property ladder is broken and it means stagnation throughout which is exactly what i was saying

00:47:39.960 and i 100 agree with that um prices are actually falling particularly in london where some flat

00:47:45.160 owners are reporting losses of up to 34 on homes they bought six years ago and this is of course the

00:47:50.520 place where if there was a massive housing bubble you would see it you would see it that's where you see

00:47:55.080 it first yeah in the most expensive places but it can bring down the whole market with it of course

00:48:00.040 and i think it will yeah um it can trigger a banking crisis which everybody has been warning that you

00:48:05.720 know britain is getting closer to a banking crisis because of the usurious nature of the economy and so

00:48:12.440 we're sort of getting to that point and and and sorry just to sort of go ahead sorry the answer is

00:48:19.560 not to keep the obr and ask george osborne what he thinks of your economic plans the answer is to

00:48:25.880 take these economic plans behind the shed and end them and start anew there is going to be a crash

00:48:33.000 it's more as well like their life support to be honest well that yes although we oppose assisted

00:48:39.480 dying but in this case the assisted dying of this bubble should be accelerated i would just like for

00:48:45.400 the economy to not be entirely propped up on fake money that doesn't actually exist yeah well that's

00:48:51.320 basically how everything works so we've got a lot of work to do to undo yes thank you it carries on to

00:48:57.160 say uh the trend is similar all over the country especially flats in new build blocks shoddy

00:49:01.400 workmanship fears about cladding exorbitant service charges and the financial burden of stamp duty are just

00:49:07.320 some of the reasons why apartments are empty or occupied by people desperate to sell even at a loss

00:49:13.000 as well as the fact that people have less money obviously it means the entry-level flats in for

00:49:18.120 example parts of fulham in west london are worth less today than they were 10 years ago you could

00:49:23.240 have sold a fulham flat for 450 000 pounds in 2016 compared with 443 in 2026 whereas price of flats

00:49:32.840 nationwide grew much faster than those between january 95 and 2017 and they say quite the reverse in fact

00:49:40.360 has happened here flats have risen by as little as 11 percent in the past nine years where the price

00:49:46.680 of houses during the same period has increased by nearly 40 percent so not only is there a barrier to

00:49:53.800 get on the property ladder in the first place once you've got a flat there's also a barrier to getting

00:49:58.680 a family home which of course given the difficulties of starting a family in this day and age anyway is

00:50:04.600 only going to compound that further and there's some interesting stats here that i just couldn't

00:50:10.520 believe last year some two in every five owners of a newly built flat bought in the last 20 years

00:50:17.320 qualifies as newly built sold at a loss close to one in every five flat owners who bought an older

00:50:24.840 property in the past 20 years sold at a loss say that to me again so two in every five owners of a

00:50:31.640 newly built flat right sold at a loss whereas what only one and only half basically sold at a loss if

00:50:37.160 it was an older flat one in uh one in every five flat owners who bought an older property sold at a loss

00:50:43.880 so even if it's you know old or you still run a previous risk yeah exactly of losing money on it

00:50:52.600 which given the cost of rent at the minute because of the demand it being so high you either face being

00:50:59.320 stuck in rent slavery paying money that could be going to a mortgage realistically and in fact many

00:51:05.640 people pay more rent on the property than they would have to pay if they had a mortgage on it

00:51:10.440 in the first place in fact why wouldn't they because the landlord has to cover their costs

00:51:15.640 so it's just this absurd situation where someone could in theory afford a house but

00:51:20.120 the financialization prevents them from doing so and it's getting to the point now

00:51:25.800 where home sellers now outnumber buyers by 47 percent i think this is in the united states isn't it if

00:51:34.520 i remember putting this together um yes it is the united states and so this is just insane they almost

00:51:43.160 double buyers which is a bubble to a level that is almost incomprehensible i was about to say when

00:51:52.200 you've got that much supply versus demand what's propping up value well it's just that the economy

00:51:58.200 is so bad across the developed world that property is all you can really reliably invest in yeah

00:52:04.760 unless it's tech stocks and bitcoin you're not going to make any money elsewhere and beat inflation

00:52:10.040 a lot of it is people who are stuck in their homes because of higher rates and so a lot of these may

00:52:16.120 might be theoretical buyers theoretical sellers who would sell their home and upgrade or down downgrade

00:52:23.320 or whatever it is but they're stuck on a low rate of interest meaning that if they commit to that

00:52:29.240 transaction because what they have in the us is mostly fixed rates for the life of the mortgage whereas

00:52:34.920 in britain it's mostly variable rates and so it leads to a bunch of people staying in place when interest

00:52:43.400 rates go up so these might be theoretical sellers people who are willing to consider selling but

00:52:51.080 if they don't get the right price that allows them to deal with the higher interest rate they won't

00:52:55.400 actually sell and so the value gets stuck where it is so this trend has actually been a long time

00:53:02.120 coming here's an article from cnn in 2025 talking about a similar thing um how home sellers now outnumber

00:53:08.840 the buyers buy the largest margin in 12 years but obviously uh it's gone up significantly since

00:53:15.160 like a big spike uh since then but it had been trending this way for a long time and a reckoning is

00:53:21.080 inevitable because the economics dictate it to be so that you can't have lots of people owning assets

00:53:27.240 and not be able to sell it to anyone without the price coming down that's just economics 101

00:53:33.400 and so here we can see um that all across the country um and here's a good example here people

00:53:44.200 just aren't able to sell and here they're saying sellers now outnumber buyers by 600 000 the biggest

00:53:49.400 gap ever recorded um and here's an example from canada um canadian home prices have been falling for

00:53:59.160 nearly four years so it's already started in canada to a certain degree um only a small amount though

00:54:05.160 but it's probably likely that this is all going to happen at a slightly delayed rate all across the

00:54:11.960 developed western world and that there's just going to be a massive crash in housing prices because

00:54:18.680 if you look at them uh at the fundamentals of them there's no reason for them to be as expensive as

00:54:24.920 they are they're just a financial asset that's why they exist and i think one of the biggest signs

00:54:29.960 that is irrefutable here is that google searches for can't sell house hit an all-time high higher than

00:54:38.440 2008 higher than covid higher than anything that has ever been recorded um and you can see here there's

00:54:48.040 2020 um spikes here maybe you could say you know after lockdowns it was higher um than people may

00:54:57.480 have been get out of the area or something yeah but then it's already surpassed that and that's got no

00:55:04.600 necessarily you know short-term cause that's causing that spike like covid this seems to be an organic

00:55:11.480 popping of the bubble well yeah there's only if you can't sell your house at the price that you're asking

00:55:16.920 there's only one answer lower the price yeah and for many people they're going to be unwilling to do

00:55:22.040 that and they're either going to be stuck in place yeah people potentially yeah for the vast majority

00:55:28.120 of people the their biggest asset is their home and so if they end up selling at below the price that

00:55:34.600 they that they bought it they end up basically in debt for a house that they no longer live in

00:55:41.560 and so this crashes this has a huge cascading effect and then you have to ask yourself will

00:55:47.080 they do the stupid thing again and bail out the banking sector as they did in 2008 and build up

00:55:51.880 an even bigger bubble and even bigger political resentment if they do that decide to take the punch

00:55:57.400 and and and let the market adjust if they if they bail out the banks is the death note of our

00:56:02.680 civilization like yes if you allow them to get away with it again and proper civil war yeah yeah there's

00:56:09.720 there's no civil way of resolving that that's that's just stealing from the taxpayer yes at an

00:56:16.040 unprecedented level for something that has caused them great harm in the first place because it will

00:56:21.480 be happening at a time when the level of debt to gdp across the developed world is unprecedented and

00:56:27.720 they've been accumulating unprecedented debt since the 2008 financial crisis and then they set the you know

00:56:36.200 through gasoline on it during covid with a lot more insane borrowing even more so with the ukraine war

00:56:43.640 and now doing it again it means that currency gets devalued to an extent that is unprecedented

00:56:49.320 and then you're essentially working for peanuts you're you know there is no point in you working

00:56:55.640 you might as well yeah yeah you might as well pick up a gun and become a militia man like that's how

00:57:00.360 that transition happens again i'm not advocating any of this i'm simply saying this is you're

00:57:06.360 analytically how it works your area of expertise right yes yes you have these kinds of crises you get

00:57:12.680 to a point that's where syria got to before the 2011 war it wasn't property prices but it was a bunch

00:57:19.640 of economic factors that put you in a situation where you might as well pick up a gun i mean it is

00:57:25.000 what happened in germany during hyperinflation militias on the streets fighting one another

00:57:29.320 there you go so just a way to accelerate civil unrest and uh potential civil conflict doesn't it

00:57:36.360 exactly and then the government says well we're going to keep giving my migrants welfare and then

00:57:41.160 you go this system is no longer worth me obeying the law i'm going to take the law into my own hands

00:57:49.080 but this is what they're setting themselves up for if they conduct a bailout no i very much agree but

00:57:55.080 yes i think that prices are clearly coming down organically um simply because people can't sell

00:58:02.040 it is a law of economics it is bound to happen eventually uh there are ways of handling it that

00:58:08.600 can be more or less damaging to society but i don't have much confidence in developed countries

00:58:14.840 with their approach to economics at the minute to actually mitigate the worst excesses of this this

00:58:21.400 bubble popping popping um but it does mean that if you're trying to get on the property ladder you

00:58:26.520 can at least get one you can you maybe even get a family home if you've been saving up for one because

00:58:31.960 the prices are coming down so that's at least a positive but also as you say um if not handled

00:58:37.960 correctly it could have catastrophic consequences for the the state of the economy

00:58:45.560 oh that turned into a far more depressing segment than i intended

00:58:49.320 sorry it's gonna be like you're gonna get your first home yay

00:58:53.080 also if they bail out the banks again if this leads to a crash

00:58:56.520 you might end up having to join a street army hey at least you got something to fight for i suppose

00:59:02.520 at least you got something to do

00:59:03.720 yeah idle hands that's the problem with this there's a comment particularly for you from sigil stone

00:59:12.120 uh that's true i think you should read that one i'm not reading that

00:59:17.400 come on josh i always read i think you need to read it with conviction look straight into the camera

00:59:23.000 maybe you know like have a little fey hand going as well how do i read that harry can you explain it to

00:59:28.680 me first so i can get it i think it really has to come from the heart only you can convey it

00:59:35.720 well i'm afraid i'm going to have to have to disappoint ah well okay i appreciate the uh

00:59:44.120 the people down that's me i just want you to know that josh hates you i'm not a populist right i'm an

00:59:50.840 elitist i'm happy to let you down a gay elitist what it's true i'm not gay oh i might be taking

01:00:02.040 elitist all the kinds of directions if you say so you know we've all heard the rumors

01:00:07.160 slop your list you're gonna be using the slop siren in your tweets senior dirty click beta at least i

01:00:13.640 like women unlike someone's table baitable that long hair i don't know um can you say the same

01:00:21.400 we need to stop bullying ourselves we've got each other can we get to harry's segment please

01:00:28.360 i'm gonna read uh logan pines quickly all i want is the housing market to crash and burn to dirt

01:00:32.920 cheap rates for young men that would be nice and ramshack colotta says we're buying with a budget

01:00:37.640 of one mil in the west mids watching property prices drop like a dutch auction well i'm glad to

01:00:43.160 hear the prices are dropping i would wait for a little while to be honest uh that's a random

01:00:48.440 name as always josh's segment feels like uh micro dosing on despair i'm more of a macro doser

01:00:55.480 personally but there we go everyone this man boo says sigil stone i've seen what makes you cheer

01:01:07.560 all right so i'll try and get through this one quite quickly sorry for going on that's all right um

01:01:12.600 so it's the gorton and denton by-election going on today uh by the time the segment goes on out on

01:01:17.720 youtube we will have the results so we'll see how it goes but the two ones in the lead are labor versus

01:01:24.200 the greens who are kind of neck and neck with it and it's worth reminding everybody that the greens are

01:01:31.480 absolutely mad now they're mad in a kind of monty python so ridiculous it's funny way but it is again

01:01:41.160 worth remembering that if these people were to actually get into government they might actually

01:01:46.040 just collapse the entire country and that's something that's been reported on recently as

01:01:51.320 people were able to get green party policy documents talking about their immigration positions um which

01:01:59.080 frankly they don't really have an immigration policy they just have uh they have a red carpet that

01:02:06.040 they want to roll out for anybody and everybody who wants to come into this country i think their

01:02:10.520 policy is just they shower them with money as they step off the plane and start worshipping the

01:02:15.880 the ground in which they walk on zach polanski gets on his knees and begins praying to them and

01:02:21.080 thanking them so here's i don't know about it if it'll be praying well you know i didn't want to go that far

01:02:27.000 um so here's some of the stuff so the uh document uh the document here is from uh spring of 2023

01:02:33.560 migration green party policy page updated i wish there was a way for to get rid of the

01:02:39.400 daily mail banners here but i'll just deal with it anyway their principles the green party wants

01:02:45.000 to see a world without borders i mean there you go just just straight away okay so you're mad you're

01:02:51.880 insane you're utopian this will never work and you want to destroy the country and you will kind of

01:02:57.240 want to destroy the world as well so i kind of respect the ambition of going full legion of doom

01:03:04.360 we're insane villains look at how insane and villainous we will be yeah exactly it's it's not

01:03:10.040 utopian it's demonic yeah this is the i mean carl yesterday on the round table which you should watch

01:03:15.560 said that zach polanski is entirely sincere in being pure evil yeah and that's that's what i'm

01:03:22.040 reading here i don't think that you can read something like this without reading like

01:03:28.280 malignant intentions into it um he says it carries on saying until this happens the green party will

01:03:34.600 implement a fair and humane system of managed immigration where people can move if they wish

01:03:40.680 to do so i fail to see what the management of this looks like of course from a pure power perspective

01:03:47.160 if you are wanting to create a situation in which your party and ethnic rivals uh would not be able

01:03:54.760 to achieve a victory in the future ever again and you'd maintain a you know iron stranglehold on power

01:04:02.600 then just having it so that your party is literally the party of everybody who isn't english

01:04:08.520 yes is one of them is one of the best ways to do it literally somebody can just hop on a boat over

01:04:13.960 here and immediately vote for you and you can just maintain power that way within the electoral system

01:04:20.600 it's tried and tested it's evil but it's tried and tested it goes all the way back to aristotle

01:04:26.760 talking about how tyrants will surround themselves with foreign guard carries on green party believes

01:04:33.160 that migration is not a criminal offense under any circumstances so illegal immigration just doesn't

01:04:38.360 exist under this paradigm the green party will treat all migrants fairly and humanely and without

01:04:44.200 discrimination actually discrimination will probably be positive discrimination in that they will just be

01:04:48.760 immediately given everything that they want for being here the green party is opposed to forced

01:04:53.800 migration and forced repatriation unless standard exclusions apply now what that can be translated to

01:04:59.640 would be any sort of repatriation under any circumstances if you're illegally in this country

01:05:06.040 could also be deemed to be a forced migration as well or creating let's say a hostile environment

01:05:13.160 where people would choose to migrate out of the country themselves they could say that this is all

01:05:17.320 forcing people so just any attempt to remove people from this country the green party will oppose it's

01:05:24.680 all pretty insane and it goes on in the article to say that under the green leaders premiership all illegal

01:05:30.440 migrants would be handed a wage at the level of universal basic income so ubi for illegals with no

01:05:37.560 requirement to be either working or actively seeking work you just you just get here and just given

01:05:43.640 money it's like why would you do that for citizens if if you weren't deep probably would do that for

01:05:49.960 citizens as well you just anybody across the world including the people who are already here and just

01:05:54.920 sit on their ass doing nothing and get paid seven billion people in the like then just pay all seven

01:06:00.120 again there's the planet without requiring them to come to england there is no limitation there's

01:06:04.600 there's no limitation to any of this yeah you either have anywhere here you either have open borders

01:06:12.600 and free money or free money you can't have both because if you have open borders and free money

01:06:17.320 what you do is you have no money whatsoever left because you've given it all out to

01:06:21.160 the entire world obviously don't have either of those things both as stupid ideas i mean

01:06:25.560 read this bit of the objectives which sadly has been blocked a little bit by this border but it

01:06:29.880 actually states it in the border itself thank you very much for the daily mail uh green party seeks

01:06:35.080 to establish a system that recognizes that all migrants are treated as citizens in waiting

01:06:41.080 okay so that's the whole planet yeah the entire planet can be a citizen and they already actually

01:06:48.200 all of the one and a half billion indians and the 250 million pakistanis and 200 million indonesians

01:06:54.360 and the you see your half a billion africans you're gonna all put them in this tiny very cramped

01:07:00.440 you're using these very divisive terms like afghans somalians when really just they're they're already

01:07:08.680 british they're they're just british over there i mean i agree that they're already british they just don't

01:07:15.080 know it yet but that's because i'm a shameless imperialist yes yes they're british over there and

01:07:21.800 we're going to keep down to cairo yeah and absolutely that was uh was it rhodes or uh that

01:07:28.680 was rhodes's vision right cape down to cairo i believe right roads basically had a a global empire

01:07:35.080 where he wanted to bring the americas back into the british empire as well which is still kind of the

01:07:40.520 foundations of some conspiracies that they believe that the empire never ended and that britain and

01:07:46.920 the british are still controlling the world um which would be do you feel like you're in control of

01:07:52.120 the world take a walk through a british street and this instant do you feel like you're in control of

01:07:57.240 the world i i feel like i feel like i'm controlling my own life and i feel like i feel like roads and

01:08:02.280 people like him would not have destroyed britain to control the world but perhaps i don't think so

01:08:07.480 perhaps there's a certain elite character that i'm not getting into uh the mind of right here

01:08:12.600 but it carries on in the article as well migrant families will be accommodated in a house or flat

01:08:17.400 with exclusive use so they each get their own full flat or house to themselves it's not even that you're

01:08:23.720 just packing them into hotels circo will just commandeer the house next door to you and just be

01:08:29.960 given to a migrant which they already kind of do but it would just be even furthering that along

01:08:35.240 and lone men would each have their own room in shared accommodation but would be given their own

01:08:40.760 property if they claimed to be gay for safeguarding purposes so what i'm hearing is that if i throw my

01:08:47.880 passport into the sea come over and speak only french and pretend i'm from north africa and say

01:08:53.880 i'm a persecuted homosexual that's going to get clipped at least you wouldn't be lying about all of it

01:08:59.160 shut up um then i would be able to get a free house yes you would yeah i knew you were gonna

01:09:05.800 say that and i said it anyway i wanted to make the point so badly you you just you wanted a point so

01:09:12.760 badly oh dear josh oh i'm on a panel with a 10 year old oh dear oh dear um yesterday he was sort of

01:09:20.440 completely subdued and now he's making out the worst in him i think oh we're just we're just lads we're just

01:09:26.920 lads josh just accept it uh the proposal doesn't deny that add the illegal migrants will be allowed

01:09:33.080 to take up employment with no restriction and be provided free access to all nhs facilities they

01:09:39.080 basically already are if they can get a deliveroo app then yeah they can already take up employment

01:09:44.680 but this would just be making it more official there would be no theater i respect that the it kind

01:09:49.480 of this whole thing removes the theater yes of the system that we live under right now where

01:09:54.520 governments like labor kind of have to pretend or the conservative party had to pretend that they

01:10:00.280 weren't supporting all of this green's just like no we'll just lift the veil we're evil we hate you

01:10:07.560 we prefer brown people and we want to give them all of your money vote for us question mark and people

01:10:14.520 of gorton and denton are going well this is pretty convincing we might just vote for you uh which is

01:10:19.960 ridiculous uh immigration detention will be abolished and illegal migrants who have exhausted all asylum

01:10:28.840 appeal rights won't be deported because presumably that would be forced repatriation so again what's

01:10:33.480 even what's even the point of having an asylum system seek asylum like everybody's come in okay

01:10:40.440 the party's official immigration policy uh suggests that migrants will be free to travel to britain using

01:10:45.880 fake documents as quote penalties imposed on commercial carriers for transporting undocumented

01:10:50.840 migrants will be abolished so this is actually kind of encouraging like human trafficking as with all

01:10:59.160 kinds of policies like this this is just a huge encouragement for illegal activities elsewhere in

01:11:05.480 the world to force people into this country so that then they could they can claim all of this and

01:11:10.360 somebody could just kidnap you get you here under threat of harm or danger and say you will collect

01:11:16.440 these benefits from the government and we will collect them from you but this strain of left-wing

01:11:21.400 politics is actually perfectly happy with human trafficking because uh wasn't there i can't remember

01:11:27.880 whether it was a labor mp or someone as either labor or the greens in either a counselor or a member of

01:11:33.880 parliament was actually convicted of human trafficking at some point yes yes that sounds great

01:11:40.280 the greens it was someone with some greens appropriately yes and it was also a um irwandan

01:11:47.320 uh un judge who was caught with a slave in her house that's true as well i remember talking about

01:11:53.720 that that i mean i thank you i think we'll shut this down and the final bit that just cements

01:12:00.600 everything that we've been talking about in terms of this being a pure political strategy to maintain

01:12:05.000 power by using uh rival ethnic groups as a block against british interests polanski's plans for

01:12:11.880 britain also state that foreign students and anybody with a visa apart from a visitor's visa

01:12:17.160 would be given the right to vote in elections and referendums why would anybody get a visitor's visa

01:12:21.960 i can get my holiday paid for yeah there you go you get a holiday visa oh you can you get you're

01:12:28.040 provided with accommodation and you're provided with income regardless of work and you're already

01:12:31.800 everybody's holidays and i'm waiting exactly so like you just come over here you go

01:12:38.200 this government's already given me everything that i want and more and they want to give me even

01:12:42.440 more than that and now they're saying i can vote as well i'll just keep voting for these people and

01:12:47.800 the british people get screwed and they get actually weighed under by all of this so this

01:12:53.320 is kind of laughable and i think this is almost beautiful in crafting the worst policy i have ever

01:13:00.920 seen in my entire life this is the worst policy regarding immigration that i have ever seen and i respect

01:13:10.760 them for it because they've just gone full mask off we hate you screw you we want to steal

01:13:17.720 from you and give it to foreigners from across the world and good work well done

01:13:24.840 the fact that some people are wanting to vote for this in the first place

01:13:28.680 is insane um but who's who's really surprised at this point this is where our politics is

01:13:35.720 and that people are considering voting for this in gorton and denton today although it might probably

01:13:41.320 most likely just end up staying a labor stronghold either way so that that's that's when we're coming

01:13:47.320 up to 2029 this is what's being put forward as the party that may represent the left or at least the

01:13:54.920 extreme far left in the collapse of labor because labor are not very popular right now they've not

01:14:00.680 done much to win constituents over for the 2029 election not that they really did much for the 2024

01:14:05.880 election anyway the conservatives just lost i think that's uh putting it lightly i think the labor

01:14:11.800 party has done more to make everyone hate them in such a short space of time than even their enemies

01:14:18.280 could have done were they controlling it for them yes it's also noting as well i mean this is just

01:14:23.480 asking to be spied on this is inviting spies and other foreign agents in who might just want to blow

01:14:28.440 up the country in one way or another um so what are we looking at in terms of the opposition given that

01:14:34.200 the tories are not really making any kind of electoral rebound recently with reform being the

01:14:39.880 ones who have been leading the polls in the right wing for a long while now and also restore coming

01:14:45.080 up on the rear as well reform being the main competitors what are their policies what are they

01:14:50.520 looking at it might be good to look at something that's been going around recently that's caused a bit

01:14:54.440 of controversy uh regarding uh some of reforms migration policies because that is the big issue in this

01:15:01.320 country that everything else revolves around really that's the thing that always leads the discussion

01:15:06.680 in britain and we can go to uh one of reforms most high profile people which is danny kruger

01:15:13.000 a tory defector from september of last year who had been part of the boris johnson governments who had

01:15:19.000 been part of david cameron's government he'd been a speechwriter for david cameron he actually i believe

01:15:24.520 wrote the hugger hoodie speech no yes no that's how out of touch he is yes he wrote the it says in this

01:15:34.280 article here that he wrote the hugger hoodie speech to be clear um swirly a hoodie wedgie a hoodie

01:15:41.800 round kicker hoodie it it is in here somewhere but i'm not going to go and try and like fish through for

01:15:47.960 this but it was it was um it was something that he wrote either way uh he's been in a successive

01:15:55.080 number of conservative governments and conservative um conservative uh not cabinets necessarily but

01:16:02.360 either way he's been through a number of different senior conservative within conservatives then last

01:16:07.080 year he decided that he was going to jump ship to reform because the conservatives were no longer

01:16:11.160 electorally viable and he did voice some concerns about the way that the party had betrayed the

01:16:16.120 constituents either way you know you read through interviews like this and he's um got some good

01:16:21.720 social conservative um social conservatism behind him he's an opponent of abortion he wants to

01:16:28.280 encourage pro natalist policies etc etc there he's a christian so there are a number of policies that

01:16:35.080 he's deriving from his christian faith he's anti-assisted dying a number of things that for me are just

01:16:42.040 common sense a lot of things that are common sense so he does have his positive sides but the clip

01:16:48.520 that's been going around as of earlier on today has been from the winston marshall show and the

01:16:54.040 winston marshall show you know fair play to the guy there are always amazing clips that come out of it

01:16:59.320 of people giving some pretty questionable statements it was on the winston marshall show i think that

01:17:04.680 farage has made a number of gaffes in the past but he was asked about a passage in his 2023 book

01:17:12.920 regarding citizenship in britain and who holds the right to be able to say that they are british

01:17:18.680 who holds the inheritance of alfred and the answer given that kruger is somebody who i believe

01:17:25.080 is in the position of head of preparation for government in reform which seems like a very

01:17:30.440 informal title but that's what it's listed as uh under here saying that um he's a head of

01:17:37.240 head of preparing for government so he's the guy who's in charge of making adjustments for if they

01:17:43.480 are elected in in 2029 it's interesting to hear his views on british identity let's hear that i had

01:17:51.480 different um thoughts about the book and perhaps coming from compared to lord finkelstein and coming

01:17:58.040 maybe from the right in my um critiques here but uh although there's one thing we have in common which

01:18:03.560 i'll come to but um the the as well as the sort of case for oikophobia and uh you sort of laying out

01:18:14.760 your world view it's also an argument for civic nationalism as opposed to ethnic nationalism and um you

01:18:22.680 make that case throughout the book this is i think on the in the online right a conversation that's

01:18:30.360 been going i'm not sure it's something that necessarily has reached much further than that

01:18:34.280 but it's certainly a conversation on the on the on right right and there's one statement here which

01:18:38.120 i'm going to read which i think is perhaps the the most striking uh from your book which is

01:18:43.560 the british are bound by something quite other than blood ours is a civic not a racial nationalism

01:18:49.400 an artificial brotherhood forged by centuries of peaceful enjoyment of the common inheritance to

01:18:56.040 which all newborn citizens whether ethnic saxons or afghans are equal heirs now this strikes me

01:19:05.560 because of the inclusion of afghans there not least because i don't think afghans have been here for

01:19:10.600 centuries so afghans who have been here it would have been they're probably first generation possibly

01:19:16.760 second generation but you're suggesting that they are equal heirs to those who have been here for

01:19:23.240 1100 since earlier than england's existence even well i talk about newborn afghans being heirs to the

01:19:31.240 civilization that they're born into and that is correct and that is the value of a

01:19:37.960 genuine democracy in which the rule of law applies in which we were all equal under the law

01:19:41.720 magic soil also that i find this notion that it's a civic nation absurd because the united kingdom

01:19:51.960 is called the united kingdom because the ethnic scots the ethnic welsh and the ethnic english

01:19:59.000 wanted to be joined closer in in some examples however they wanted to keep their own distinct

01:20:06.760 nations because they were a distinct ethnicity the united kingdom is an ethnic state because

01:20:13.560 those boundaries wouldn't have existed we surely if it was a purely civic state we wouldn't have

01:20:20.200 an independent scotland an independent england we wouldn't be named the countries wouldn't be named

01:20:24.840 after the primary ethnic exactly welsh the scottish the english and if you're born in an afghan household

01:20:33.160 you're not born in an english culture or a british culture you're born in afghan culture the assumption

01:20:40.280 here is that a few years of education under katherine bilberl singh will somehow transform your identity

01:20:46.360 completely and influence you more than your parents and your home this is absurd well this is this i was

01:20:53.960 born in jordan there is nothing jordanian about me we were genuinely leaving we genuinely left lebanon because of

01:21:00.840 the war spent their first 10 years of my life nothing jordanian about me i could pull a jordanian accent

01:21:08.200 if i had to that's it that's it and the idea that it's just sort of you know you're born here therefore

01:21:15.480 you're one of us i was in libya and it was explained to me how these guys weren't actually real eastern

01:21:23.080 libyans because they only moved there 300 years ago well i mean he does elaborate in the larger

01:21:31.240 interview which is from about four weeks ago i believe uh that he means only if these people

01:21:36.280 abide by our laws and customs so he's putting some guardrails here and he's saying it's not that it's

01:21:42.120 not that they're given automatic birthright citizenship because we don't have that but that

01:21:46.280 they have the right to claim citizenship if they are born here but the language that he uses is actually

01:21:52.040 kind of worse than birthright citizenship though because he's like citizenship in the modern civic

01:21:59.800 manner is a purely legalistic thing you are given a piece of paper and a passport that says that you

01:22:05.160 are british he's actually going further and going to the kind of metaphysic of heirs to alfred yes

01:22:11.560 heirs to alfred and we're looting our ancestral claims basically and also that the the notion that they

01:22:18.040 just have to you know follow our laws and abide by our customs what if an ethnic british person breaks

01:22:24.200 the law or doesn't abide by our customs which you know happens quite often do they cease to be british

01:22:30.760 what do they become well credit to winston he does actually point this out especially given afghans are

01:22:36.680 particularly relevant given not only the social issues that they cause and their statistics and the

01:22:41.800 crime rates and such but also because robert jenrich who is also now part of the reform party

01:22:48.280 was as part of boris johnson's government responsible for bringing in thousands of afghans

01:22:54.040 without notifying the people without notifying the electorate yes tens of thousands basically

01:22:59.480 under our noses without telling us it was a very clandestine thing so winston does follow this up

01:23:05.800 and uh let's see his response to that territory there because i think just before christmas there

01:23:11.480 were three afghan asylum seekers who all commit all three of them committed terrible rape and terrible

01:23:18.520 crimes and so they weren't born here but are you suggesting that they could be british well they

01:23:25.960 could have become british citizens i don't know uh i hope not i mean we shouldn't be oh i hope not

01:23:30.920 we shouldn't be accommodating any people who arrived here illegally they shouldn't they should

01:23:34.520 immediately lose any claim to asylum on arrival by dint of the fact they broke into our country

01:23:39.400 illegally but no no these are asylum seekers because they might not be illegal they probably

01:23:44.200 were well okay i don't know how they arrived here but let's take for the sake of argument they came

01:23:48.600 legally okay yes well okay so they came here legally but if they're asylum seekers they are not naturalized

01:23:56.120 citizens and they should be treated humanely but they do not have the same rights as a brit but if

01:24:02.680 their kids were born here those kids would yes those kids would have the right to be british i think

01:24:08.440 that is right and they would be equal heirs to the saxons as of the yes but heirs in the way that you

01:24:14.680 expect your children to grow up respecting the rules of the household and honoring their parents and

01:24:21.640 ancestors okay so they're not honoring their ancestors means honoring honoring afghans in perpetuity though

01:24:28.360 doesn't it that's the thing and if they yeah these like these aren't if my son doesn't abide my by the

01:24:35.400 rules of my household he doesn't stop becoming my son the the whole thing is just sort of

01:24:41.560 it's trans citizenship is is wishy-washy it's trans it's trans identity and identity and it's basically

01:24:48.120 saying well i hope that the afghan rapists weren't british citizens but their kid but their kids could

01:24:53.880 be if they were born here this is one of those conversations where people forget that genetics

01:24:59.240 exist and in my field of psychology people have come around to the idea that genetics are the majority

01:25:05.800 influence in most things and who's to say that you know thousands and thousands of years of unbroken

01:25:12.200 chains of ancestry has shaped the english in a way to our land that our behavior is so rooted in in that

01:25:20.520 that genetic heritage that it can't be emulated by anyone if you doubted that you would have to look

01:25:27.080 at the political systems across the daughter countries of britain the united states canada new

01:25:34.040 zealand australia just just because they all have the same kind of system because they have the same

01:25:38.840 inheritance we're a bit stretched for time so i'll um cut off the conversation there and just basically

01:25:43.480 say my point uh basically being that in comparison to their primary opposition that we're being touted

01:25:49.640 for as being the main two parties come 2029 greens versus reform this is actually only one step removed

01:25:56.360 from the green position of the entire world is just british citizens in waiting and saying well

01:26:02.200 actually no that's not the case their children are i don't like that i think this is a negative

01:26:11.000 conception of british identity i don't think it's going to be good and if this is the kind of thought

01:26:16.920 process of those who are around farage i know that there has been some discussion recently of the um

01:26:23.080 secretly based farage theory which i've seen going about the problem is if these are the people

01:26:28.760 surrounding farage even if farage does have more radical instincts than he lets on these people

01:26:34.520 are going to moderate that and always push him to moderating himself rather than pushing forwards

01:26:41.560 with more radical ideas if they are to get into government and on the afghan thing just to hammer

01:26:46.920 the point home um the fact of the day from a few days ago from the center of migration control was in

01:26:52.360 2024 afghans accounted for more sexual offense convictions in england and wales than the americans germans

01:26:58.520 canadians new zealanders australians and french and japanese combined and again i don't care if

01:27:05.640 they're here legally or illegally these are still the same people whether they have a piece of paper

01:27:11.160 that says that they are british or not does not change this fact of they are of their aggregate group

01:27:18.280 behavior similarly if we're to look at things from a purely economic point of view it doesn't look great

01:27:25.480 either so the white papers policy institute who are a fantastic account who everybody should be

01:27:30.520 following at the moment uh and i did an interview with their director recently which will be coming

01:27:35.320 out very soon uh they looked into a paper released here the borderless welfare um welfare state paper done by the

01:27:44.920 university of amsterdam that looked into a lot of this uh that looked at the net financial contributions

01:27:51.480 of different groups across amsterdam and found the africans were minus 600 000 euros lifetime loss to the treasury

01:28:00.440 moroccans minus 550 000 euro loss refugees minus 625 000 euros and this is per person so this adds up to an

01:28:12.280 astronomical account amount and we see these kinds of statistics replicated everywhere across europe anywhere

01:28:19.480 that does these kinds of studies looking into the net fiscal fiscal contribution of migrants if they

01:28:26.280 are not from east asia or other parts of europe or america or australia anglo anglo countries or east

01:28:34.520 asian countries they are just ultimately a massive financial drain on your country i ever so quickly say

01:28:39.800 something i know what rest for time but i i showed uh some numbers like this that were very similar and it

01:28:46.680 was to the point where um someone like an african here who's minus 600 000 was something like six

01:28:53.240 times more in the negative than the average native person was in the positive so one african cancels out

01:28:59.640 six net native tax contributors which is just absurd that they're that much of a burden like it's

01:29:07.800 unbelievable incomprehensible that you could be that much dead weight but there we are there was also a

01:29:13.160 graph that i wanted to point to in the further on into the document which kind of here we go hammered

01:29:20.600 the point home on afghans this one which was the percentage of a population that is in that takes

01:29:29.480 benefits how much of the population of that group takes benefits contrasted against the chance of the

01:29:36.120 immigrant leaving within 10 years and you can see that there is a downwards correlation the more of any

01:29:41.160 particular group is on benefits the more likely they are to stick around and who was at the absolute

01:29:46.840 worst end of that where they take most benefits and are least likely to stick around because i mean

01:29:53.400 they entirely rely on you yep afghans afghans syrians iraqis there is no benefit whatsoever to accepting

01:30:04.440 afghans legal or illegal into your country so the fact that danny kruger decided to use them as his

01:30:12.040 exemplar is even worse because he used the worst example they do not contribute anything to your society

01:30:21.320 but rape

01:30:24.840 and this is one of the things that concerns me when you see that these are the sorts of people who surround

01:30:31.240 nigel farage when you come up to the 2029 election farage may very well have more based

01:30:37.800 instincts than he lets on but he's surrounded himself with people like danny kruger like um

01:30:44.040 like the people who undersaw the boris wave like robert jenrich like zia yusuf all of these people

01:30:50.840 who are going to push him to moderate whatever based instincts that he may have he has zia yusuf when

01:30:57.880 they made some points towards maybe they will ban the ability of people to convert churches into

01:31:03.960 mosques zia yusuf immediately came out and said oh i don't know that might be a bit extreme he is

01:31:09.160 always going to moderate this people around farage are always going to moderate this and i think

01:31:13.720 morgoth put it best saying that the mistake for reform supporters and i'm not insulting i'm not

01:31:20.200 trying to insult anybody by saying this i just think he puts it quite well is that this is not a

01:31:24.520 policy issue yes there are lots of overlaps between reform and restores policies but this

01:31:29.720 is a trust issue it doesn't matter how far right the party lurches on policy if everybody is just

01:31:35.160 assuming that they'll get shafted and backstabbed anyway which is all the more likely given that the

01:31:39.800 current the current shadow cabinet of reform includes a lot of people from the previous tory government

01:31:46.760 that did shaft everybody that oversaw the boris wave after everybody voted them in on the implicit

01:31:55.560 understanding that there was going to be a reduction in migration so this is the big concern that really

01:32:03.480 we're getting the far left but really as the opposition to them come 2029 we're getting something

01:32:10.680 that is not going to go as far as we need that we can't trust to make the necessary steps which is

01:32:16.840 why so many people are so enthusiastically supporting restore already so early on into restore being a

01:32:24.440 party and there we go let's go through a few of the uh rumble rants and do we have any video

01:32:31.400 comments that we need to go through samson he's pulling them up by the looks of it this is why it's

01:32:36.520 going to be like dozens of them uh one six one three that's all right there we go video comments

01:32:43.000 we do have a few but we can go through them samson said that we can overrun a little bit uh random

01:32:49.320 i'll allow it we went from micro dosing on despair to micro dosing on zestiness again josh doesn't

01:32:55.160 micro dose any of that he boofs that shit right fictagious ask these open borders leftists if they'd

01:33:03.080 be okay with thousands and thousands of russians coming over and voting for their interests watch

01:33:07.400 them say no that's different i don't know if they would because you've got to understand

01:33:12.840 they're retarded they would pretend that they're like oh they're fleeing putin they're refugees

01:33:17.880 are they're liberals they're just like me are they might be siberians or far east asian russians

01:33:23.480 you can't you can trust like far east asian russians can't you yeah they could be chechens

01:33:27.800 they've never done anything wrong in history exactly uh hapsification so we have a housing bubble

01:33:32.840 more migrants coming into the country and we're giving them free money and the solution is the

01:33:36.440 government is to house them and we have nine million unemployed great pretty much sums it up

01:33:41.560 and uh who is this random name guy is unironically saying that the real brits were the minorities we

01:33:47.080 oppressed along the way i hate the fact i understood every word of what you said harry this is true i

01:33:56.280 wish i didn't know these terms any uh as well the internet has poisoned us all let's get on with

01:34:02.760 the video comments folks so it looks like i might not be going back to the uk anytime soon because of

01:34:09.240 new uk laws requiring me to have a british passport due to the fact i am a british citizen despite the

01:34:15.400 fact i have an australian passport making me australian citizen what makes this worse is not only do i need

01:34:21.320 the british passport but also need an electrical passport they will do this and say we are tightening

01:34:26.760 border security yet they will allow thousands of undocumented migrants into the country this is

01:34:33.080 nothing short than money grab just turn up in a dinghy why not i'd rather an aussie at least we can

01:34:42.120 get along aussies are brits they are basically and they don't even we mean that affection they don't

01:34:47.240 even deny it unlike unlike the irish who want to have nothing to do with us while being heavily

01:34:52.200 related to us at least the aussies accept it one of us i like the others so i saw them uh putting out

01:35:00.840 a new crappy robin hood movie in the future and seems like they're going to take a very subversive take

01:35:05.880 with him but i don't think any take they have could ever be as biting as like this terrible kid show called

01:35:12.360 time squad's version of him he's just a thief who's trying to curry favor with the king

01:35:17.160 but gets no respect so they convince him that you should get steal and give to the poor they'll

01:35:21.960 respect you more which he does and then the poor immediately riot and start robbing each other

01:35:26.920 and then they start robbing robin hood too because he showed weakness basically ungrateful wretches a lot

01:35:33.080 of them i mean thank you for recognizing my game yeah is the new one that you're saying is going to be

01:35:40.200 subversive is it's going to be like robin hood steals from the rich and gives to the migrants

01:35:49.320 he wasn't a hero i thought it was going to deify the tax man actually the taxes were going for

01:35:55.400 refugees and truly subversive yet accurate robin hood for today if they wanted to go for it was like

01:36:01.560 that he is some he is a now robin hood is a tax man stealing from the middle class to give to

01:36:06.760 migrants one of my old jobs in 2020 replaced much of its staff with ai and now they're begging for

01:36:15.880 employees to come back all the stories you hear about ai becoming sentient or whatever are actually

01:36:21.880 just marketing employees to attract more investors the ai bubble is probably about to burst much like

01:36:27.720 the dot com bubble and i i say like a lot of the ai stuff when you hear them talk about it one sounds

01:36:34.920 like star trek utopian nonsense elon musk saying that oh once ai is fully up and running in 20 years

01:36:40.680 no one will have to work i mean that sounds like a mix of star trek and wally that sounds horrible

01:36:46.040 like everybody will become fat disgusting slobs and pure consumers i don't want that i would rather

01:36:51.880 smash all technology to prevent that frankly uh the other thing is that like it's just confidence

01:36:56.840 game isn't it i don't want to keep pushing the numbers up for investment so that ai will literally

01:37:04.360 pull your trousers down on a saturday night and suck your dick for you and then people clap and they

01:37:09.880 say i'm going to invest millions of dollars and nobody told me it did that okay that changes literally

01:37:15.800 ai will go shopping with your wife for you so that you don't have to how much can i invest exactly see

01:37:23.320 it is working already thank you for going back to the clay mills here the pancake day thing like

01:37:38.360 actually gave me an aneurysm that's why i was so quiet on the round table and my brain was fried

01:37:46.280 harry's northern mind is satisfied by machinery it honestly is there is something beautiful about it

01:37:52.920 oh it's fantastic there is oh red bricks and chimneys the smoke industry oh my god

01:38:01.320 you got to remember my like great great great grandfather i think on my mum's side was like

01:38:07.400 a derbyshire industrialist so ah it's in his blood penguins castle castle penguins i understand what

01:38:18.360 you're doing but what are you doing just licking a fence look how relaxed this wolverine is just

01:38:27.480 letting us back doing nothing something in a dream oh big stretch

01:38:34.520 you're pretty damn cool give him a pet the titty monkey wow this is a monkey after my own heart

01:38:41.800 you're kind of monkey i need to get that monkey news he flip-flops typical politician how would

01:38:53.320 you know harry uh random name appropriately says in josh's case he'll pull the ai's trousers down and go

01:39:00.920 to work i've done nothing to deserve this you start you started this has been you started the podcast

01:39:11.080 all right i did so this is all this is all just like payback see see how see how josh cries out in

01:39:18.520 pain as he strikes you strike you again if you're not careful behavior while you cut your hand again

01:39:24.120 that is true when we when we we used to do boxing for a while and uh i had some new gloves and the

01:39:31.560 inside was still sharp so when i hit harry in the face it cut my hand yeah sure that's the reason why

01:39:37.720 it was the glove it wasn't your jawline mogged utterly mogged cortisol rising here josh i can't

01:39:44.920 even tease you for having multiple chins either now you got too skinny for that i am putting a bit of

01:39:49.640 weight back on anyway um we've probably gone well over time at this point yeah so uh i think we're

01:39:54.600 gonna have to cut it there without reading some in some website comments well okay we let's read

01:39:59.480 one or two all right all right uh furious dan says if trump took a big drink of water mid-speech

01:40:06.200 how many democrats would die yes too few uh danny delerton says it was amazing to see elizabeth

01:40:15.000 warren of all people stand up and clap when nancy pelosi got called out for insider trading the

01:40:19.400 entire event was a showcase and how much the fabric has frayed yeah they don't have any leadership

01:40:24.920 they're confused they're stupid they all hate each other yes and the lack of leadership means that

01:40:30.760 they're all sort of being like crabs in a bucket and trying to grab each other and pull each other

01:40:35.480 down and i mean who is the figurehead for the democrat party at the moment maybe maybe maybe gavin

01:40:42.040 newsom i was gonna say newsom is like the only person who has been put forward we've got a few years

01:40:46.920 until 28 but could be aoc oh god could be aoc who knows gonna win carl's vote it's gonna be

01:40:55.800 hilarious it's going to be hilarious in any case i'm gonna read some of your comments josh of course

01:41:02.440 michael says looking at my own house hearing what the english are paying i'm grateful i live in the us

01:41:07.640 thanks for rubbing our noses in it but yes like i say you rightfully laugh at us for having tiny

01:41:12.840 over expensive houses yeah when i hear americans complaining about their property prices it's

01:41:17.080 like me hearing oh my steak is too juicy oh it's terrible

01:41:22.360 like you guys have one of the best deals in the western world and it's not to say that it's

01:41:27.480 getting worse isn't bad for you but you know you're not going to get too much sympathy from europeans

01:41:32.600 i hear americans complain about mcmansions and yeah there's a tackiness to them right

01:41:37.560 but they're so big you get so much space in them right i would kill for that many bedrooms

01:41:46.200 and a garage as well and a garden crazy yeah people forget um in america that in europe a lot of our

01:41:55.800 housing is very dense we're a densely populated continent yes and um where was it there was there was a

01:42:03.640 good comment i was trying to find i've lost it now um i'll just pick one at random uh henry ashman

01:42:09.640 says i think with london there's also a degree of impact from things like hybrid and remote work

01:42:15.560 if i only need to go into the office once a week the cost of travel to london from somewhere nicer

01:42:21.560 and more affordable suddenly becomes more viable than if i had to do it every day and i think that

01:42:25.800 is a good thing and i think that removing work out of london is a necessary step to making the country

01:42:31.720 good again not for great for property developers though i know all of the all of those big glass

01:42:36.600 high-rises might go to waste i hate them and i want them destroyed yes but if they don't get

01:42:41.400 destroyed which would destroy the investors in one way you know they might have to get turned into

01:42:45.800 housing which might also destroy other parts of the property although prices are already dropping in

01:42:50.680 london so if if i were dictator of the country if it wasn't wattle and daub stone or wood your property

01:42:57.480 would be taken down so ed milliband harnessing enoch spilling grave says uh guys how does this help

01:43:04.920 the environment that's the that's the fun part actually it doesn't well part of the part of the

01:43:11.000 policy on the actual document is kind of blocked a bit here but they're saying that uh the green

01:43:17.000 party accepts we all have a collective responsibility for the climate emergency and the uk has a duty to

01:43:22.040 support people forced to move due to changes in their home environment whether internally or from

01:43:27.160 abroad so they're trying to justify it by saying like well you know people all of these refugees

01:43:32.760 they're not fleeing like war not that many of them are fleeing war in the first place they're not coming

01:43:37.400 here for like economic advantage or anything it's because they're fleeing the climate change

01:43:43.960 so they're trying to justify it that way and saying therefore it's our problem we need to take

01:43:48.440 them in despite the fact that the uk's actual co2 emissions annually is minuscule tiny complained

01:43:54.920 to china two percent of the global migration causes a bad environment for me how about that

01:44:00.840 true but they don't classify you as important so yeah fair enough you're just an indigenous brit

01:44:06.280 one thing the green party and you have in common hey hey hey zach's not all bad

01:44:13.960 uh rees sim says currently making my way through restore britain's retaking the english castle

01:44:17.800 policy documents so far i am yet again impressed by rupert lowe harrison pitt and the restore

01:44:22.120 team's hard work it's so nice to be able to finally support a party that overwhelmingly aligns with my

01:44:26.760 values rather than having to choose which poison tastes bitter let's hope we'll soon be able to

01:44:31.960 finally be proud of our country's future and not just its past that is that is important the policy

01:44:37.480 is important but again people are actually right when they say that reform and restore have some

01:44:42.200 overlapping policy goals but it's who i actually trust to implement them rather than betray me

01:44:49.480 again and when you fill your party full of people who have already betrayed me why why am i supposed

01:44:54.920 to trust you just off the back of trust me bro it's the same kind of logic that you get with the plan

01:44:59.320 trusters i i know the people involved in restore personally and they're all very stand-up people aren't

01:45:05.320 they they're good they're polite they're hard working they're everything you want in people running a

01:45:10.040 political movement and with that that's all we've got time for today thank you for sticking with

01:45:15.720 us as we ran over time but i hope you found some value in that we'll be back again tomorrow thank

01:45:20.600 you to josh and firas take care and have a good day
