00:00:30.500 It's quiet.

00:00:31.320 Right, and today we're going to be talking about,

00:00:33.440 we're all going to be talking about the hope not hatification of the cabinet.

00:00:36.740 Oh, it's even worse than that.

00:00:37.720 Yes.

00:00:39.640 Oh, I'm going to be talking about, yes, how, you know,

00:00:43.300 that tipping point thing where it all just gets worse from here.

00:00:46.620 It's now. 0.99

00:00:48.900 And, oh, Iran.

00:00:52.060 The ongoing war in Persia, yeah.

00:00:53.520 Yeah, I'd forgotten about that.

00:00:54.800 But apparently that's still a thing.

00:00:56.260 Still a thing, yeah.

00:00:57.260 We told you it's going to be wrapped up in two weeks.

00:00:59.280 Yeah.

00:01:00.000 Right, okay, fair enough.

00:01:01.240 All right.

00:01:01.960 Oh, yes, and it says here,

00:01:04.640 mention Comics Corner.

00:01:06.220 Yes, we did tease it a few weeks ago,

00:01:08.480 Harry and I, but it is back.

00:01:10.060 We decided to finally do the Watchmen episode

00:01:11.540 that we've been waiting for ages for.

00:01:12.940 Spoiler alert, we don't like Watchmen very much.

00:01:14.720 We think it ruined the comics industry.

00:01:16.200 So we've got a very long, 0.97

00:01:17.320 slightly autistic video coming out about that. 0.62

00:01:18.820 If you want some levity 0.56

00:01:19.560 after the incredibly depressing topics

00:01:21.820 that we're going to cover.

00:01:22.700 So that's out at three o'clock today

00:01:23.700 for all subscribers on Lotus Season.

00:01:25.520 You're talking about the comic, not the film?

00:01:26.840 both

00:01:27.240 oh I see

00:01:28.060 the film's great

00:01:28.840 so

00:01:29.400 I like the film actually

00:01:30.920 yeah I thought that was alright

00:01:31.760 so

00:01:32.980 and

00:01:33.580 everyone should watch

00:01:35.220 the Bo Show

00:01:35.840 at 8am

00:01:36.640 every morning

00:01:37.220 I think everybody already does

00:01:39.280 but just in case

00:01:40.220 you're one of the few

00:01:40.980 watch it

00:01:42.060 yeah that's very good

00:01:43.540 and it's over to you sir

00:01:45.940 excellent

00:01:46.740 well Britain is a

00:01:49.860 island full of

00:01:51.480 at this point 1.00

00:01:52.200 foreign freaks 1.00

00:01:53.280 sex pests 1.00

00:01:54.180 and killers 0.99

00:01:54.860 and that's thanks

00:01:56.180 to the Conservative government and Keir Starmer, and it's about to get a lot worse under Andy

00:01:59.660 Burnham. So I suppose it's appropriate that the latest edition of Islander has, like a doomsday

00:02:03.940 clock, Big Ben's or the Elizabeth Towers clockface at five minutes to midnight. And you can get this

00:02:09.520 limited edition copy of Islander over at lotuseaters.com. Buy it before copies run out.

00:02:15.440 If you don't know what I'm referring to, yesterday, Shabana Mahmood and Wes Riesing

00:02:20.180 caught on a hot mic laughing about the new Justice Secretary's plan to release in September

00:02:25.360 6,000 criminals

00:02:27.760 early from prison. That's after

00:02:29.480 two rounds of over 1,000 each time

00:02:31.800 that happened under Starmer, and this

00:02:33.700 includes a couple, this is being

00:02:35.640 urgently reviewed by Burnham, we are assured, but this

00:02:37.620 includes a couple who

00:02:39.560 dragged a police officer behind their car to death.

00:02:42.080 Shall we listen to what they think?

00:02:55.360 Yeah, they think it's hilarious they want to unleash more violent criminals on your neighbourhood.

00:03:00.600 Absolutely gut-busting.

00:03:01.600 How are you supposed to feel if your loved one was a victim of one of these people

00:03:06.440 and they're just being let out?

00:03:08.200 Well, you're meant to feel the exact same way as the government wants you to,

00:03:12.480 which is you're not meant to talk about it.

00:03:13.740 Because at the same time, the outgoing Justice Secretary, David Lammy,

00:03:17.100 Britain's very own mastermind, has been trying to block a friend of the show,

00:03:21.120 Rob Bates and the Centre for Migration Control's Freedom of Information requests

00:03:23.880 into the crimes committed by foreigners by nationality and type.

00:03:28.440 Despite having multiple...

00:03:30.360 I think they took it to court and they said,

00:03:32.960 oh, the Ministry of Justice doesn't want to do this

00:03:34.420 because it could disclose private information of criminals

00:03:36.920 and it'd be really expensive to compile the data.

00:03:39.560 The court said, well, no, that's a silly excuse.

00:03:41.720 You have to do that, I'm afraid.

00:03:42.980 They're still blocking it.

00:03:43.900 They're still refusing to release the data.

00:03:45.720 Because they know what it's going to show.

00:03:47.100 That clip you played a moment ago,

00:03:49.280 how could these ghouls be laugh-cackling about it?

00:03:53.140 They're defending it.

00:03:53.720 How could they be?

00:03:54.820 Because it's funny to them.

00:03:56.000 Well, I know, I know.

00:03:57.720 So, Lammy's been replaced by a guy called Alex Norris,

00:04:00.140 who has no legal expertise or experience.

00:04:02.460 But I suppose you don't really need any experience

00:04:04.920 in just letting criminals out.

00:04:06.200 I mean, honestly, Larry the Cat would make a better,

00:04:08.440 you know, than whatever, you know,

00:04:10.080 Yeah.

00:04:11.320 Shabana Mahmood and West Streeting responded to this clip

00:04:13.100 because you'd expect it to be pretty damning, right?

00:04:15.820 She said,

00:04:16.740 Shabana,

00:04:17.140 I think everyone can see there was no ill intent

00:04:18.780 behind this ribbing of the new Lord Chancellor.

00:04:20.980 No ill intent behind Shabana Mahmood 1.00

00:04:23.760 cackling like the Wicked Witch of the West 1.00

00:04:25.400 at the prospect of 6,000 criminals,

00:04:27.540 including people convicted of manslaughter,

00:04:29.180 sex offences, theft,

00:04:31.460 being let out early.

00:04:33.680 No ill intent.

00:04:35.260 I mean, there's nothing but ill intent

00:04:36.500 coming from this government, 0.78

00:04:37.700 considering she's just instituted new safe and legal routes 0.60

00:04:40.020 for a bunch of Palestinians to come over, 0.99

00:04:42.080 sponsored by the taxpayer.

00:04:43.260 Sure, they won't hold any grudge against us.

00:04:45.160 Wes Streeting, as well, did the same thing.

00:04:46.580 I hope everyone can see there was no ill intent.

00:04:48.300 sounds remarkably rehearsed.

00:04:51.340 Their apologies, non-apologous.

00:04:52.520 Somebody got a text message from the Cabinet Office saying,

00:04:56.740 put out a tweet saying that,

00:04:58.200 I hope nobody understands there's any ill intent here.

00:05:00.920 Yeah.

00:05:01.180 And they just took it literally.

00:05:02.300 Yes.

00:05:02.760 So Shabana Mahmood has remained as Home Secretary

00:05:04.380 under Andy Burnham,

00:05:05.240 so she can continue to bring people in 0.73

00:05:07.000 via safe and legal routes.

00:05:08.560 Wes Streeting's been made Defence Secretary,

00:05:10.340 and we'll mention that later.

00:05:12.240 But these aren't even the worst appointments.

00:05:13.540 These are just sort of the front-facing salesmen

00:05:15.460 for the policies that the state wants to do already, right?

00:05:18.300 Let's look at who's in Burnham's Downing Street that very few people are paying attention to.

00:05:22.200 So this account has compiled a very good thread, and I've done some research myself into these

00:05:27.340 figures that I'm just going to ad-lib as we go through. But these particular figures,

00:05:32.480 pictured with Zoran Mamdani here when he was campaigning, curiously enough,

00:05:36.220 are now working through Andy Burnham in Downing Street. The guy circled in red here is Ali

00:05:40.820 Milani, good British name. He was a Labour candidate in 2019. He produced Andy Burnham's

00:05:45.700 digital content for the Makerfield campaigns, you know, when he was walking along the road to

00:05:48.660 Elbow and Oasis. That was this guy. He also chairs the Labour Muslim network. He's now working

00:05:54.440 directly in Downing Street for Burnham. I think there's a photo of him, actually. Oh no, that's

00:05:59.960 his wonderful article. There he is, stood outside Downing Street just the other day. He did write

00:06:05.820 this article last year in the midst of the grooming gang scandal being covered up by the

00:06:09.280 Labour government for the Middle East. I quote, grooming gangs, this vile racist campaign puts

00:06:13.160 Muslims in serious danger. Muslims are true victims of industrial-scale child rape, 1.00

00:06:18.460 covered up by his parents. Yes, 12-year-old gets raped by 30 men 1.00

00:06:21.580 over the course of a year. Muslims most affected. Yeah. I mean, it does track, because while, 0.99

00:06:28.200 you know, he's the chair of the Labour Muslim Network, Labour Muslim Network has said,

00:06:31.560 asking Muslims to disavow Hamas is rooted in Islamophobia. So, you know, murderous,

00:06:37.040 rapist, terrorist organisation. If you say, oh, they're a bit dodgy, aren't they? You're an 1.00

00:06:40.740 Islamophobe. He's also agitating to strengthen the government's definition of Islamophobia,

00:06:45.380 because remember they published their anti-Muslim hatred definition that says,

00:06:47.880 if you don't want Muslims in public life or you don't want them financed by the taxpayer, 0.77

00:06:51.180 that's Islamophobic. Well, he actually complained that there was no mention of race or racism in

00:06:55.820 the definition, and so he wants to put that back in, presumably to make it an aggravating

00:06:59.400 offence for public order offences, right? Because if you have a statutory definition,

00:07:03.180 then it can be statutory guidance and you can be locked up for saying things that offend Muslims.

00:07:06.500 This is just a fifth columnist. There's no other definition for it.

00:07:10.840 Well, quite literally, because he was flying all around the world.

00:07:13.840 I think there's a photo of him in here with AOC and the rest of the squad, actually.

00:07:18.760 So he's just been flying around the world with Mamdani, the Progressive International Alliance,

00:07:22.500 another theme that pops up in Burnham's inner circle.

00:07:25.880 He also then attended the Iftar, the Labour Iftar, very recently as well,

00:07:32.080 with Lucy Powell, who is now the new education secretary,

00:07:35.100 who previously said the grooming gangs were a racist dog whistle

00:07:38.040 and a little trumpet. 0.98

00:07:39.680 So clearly just working on behalf of his religion 0.81

00:07:42.880 and also against white people

00:07:45.240 with a broader coalition of the marginalised, the oppressed.

00:07:49.340 Also said 9-11 was a false flag.

00:07:51.660 A bit contentious, so there you go.

00:07:55.420 Also, there's another woman working with him. 0.74

00:07:58.120 It's the woman in the hijab here. 0.96

00:08:01.300 This is...

00:08:02.420 Where is she gone? 0.97

00:08:05.100 Yeah, this is Samaya Afzal.

00:08:07.600 She's best friends with Zahra Sultana and Naz Shah.

00:08:11.840 She of, quote, retweeting the Owen Jones parody account

00:08:15.000 that says, shut your mouth for the good of diversity, fame.

00:08:17.580 She's worked with the Muslim Council of Britain.

00:08:19.320 Oh, and then the other guy was working with the Muslim Association of Britain,

00:08:22.860 both of which in a 2015 government report

00:08:24.620 were apparently set up and run by the Muslim Brotherhood.

00:08:27.600 What are these people doing in our government? 0.99

00:08:30.060 Or in our country.

00:08:31.020 Yeah.

00:08:31.720 What are they doing here?

00:08:33.000 Yeah.

00:08:35.000 Yeah.

00:08:35.100 Well, ruling us.

00:08:37.880 Ruining us, yeah. 0.99

00:08:39.380 She was also agitating for a Palestinian refugee pathway into Britain, 0.99

00:08:42.820 which, of course, Shaman Mahmood is currently introducing. 0.99

00:08:46.380 So in case you were worried about it getting better, don't worry.

00:08:50.000 It gets a whole lot worse because there's a list in Politico

00:08:52.500 of who Burnham's new staff appointments are.

00:08:55.200 So at the top is James Pernall.

00:08:56.780 James Pernall, the former Blair minister.

00:08:59.000 He was also a Labour shadow minister, I believe.

00:09:00.500 He was also an executive at the BBC.

00:09:01.700 and he's now going to be at the top of Burnham's team. He's already been discussing transition

00:09:07.580 talks. Not that kind of transition, though, you know, looking at Andy Burnham, you'd be forgiven

00:09:11.140 for making that mistake. He's been discussing that with Cabinet Secretary Dame Antonio Romeo,

00:09:16.040 the Queen of Woke herself, who is the most senior civil servant in the land and was pictured with

00:09:20.420 Burnham, I think, at either today or yesterday's meeting as well. Then there's Graham Cook. He's

00:09:24.320 going to be the director of Number 10's policy unit. He's already been an advisor in Downing

00:09:27.460 Street, so they're keeping on Starmer's people. Harvey Redgrave, who's the unit's current chief,

00:09:32.000 will stay on in a new Home Affairs and Justice Special Advisor role, so he's the one that's

00:09:36.740 supervising immigration and the release of the prisoners, so we know who to blame for that.

00:09:41.960 Then there's Hayden Munro. Hayden Munro won't be a name that sticks out to people in this country,

00:09:46.320 but they will in New Zealand politics, because Hayden has been a former campaign director for

00:09:51.600 Jacinda Ardern. So again, we've got the International Progressive Network, Zora Mandani

00:09:56.400 and America and the squad, Jacinda Rardin. We had labour activists flying out during the last US

00:10:02.500 election to try and campaign for Kamala Harris, for example. These people are part of one big

00:10:06.780 well-financed club that's governing our countries in all the same way, and we're all getting the 0.99

00:10:10.460 same consequences, which is mass immigration, economic ruin, and the denial of our identity 0.97

00:10:15.060 and our claim to our own country. And these people are being rewarded for it. I'm going to skip over 0.99

00:10:19.340 one name, because we'll come back to him in a moment, Mr. Matthew McGregor. I'll go straight

00:10:22.320 to Sarah Brown. 0.90

00:10:23.280 She's been working

00:10:24.300 for Sadiq Khan

00:10:25.040 for the last five years

00:10:25.860 and Sadiq Khan's

00:10:26.880 just been made,

00:10:27.340 of course,

00:10:27.700 a lord.

00:10:28.600 So he's now Lord,

00:10:29.760 Mayor,

00:10:30.260 Sir Sadiq Khan,

00:10:32.000 being rewarded

00:10:32.440 for his treachery.

00:10:33.440 I liked it better

00:10:34.320 when he was in Saudi Arabia

00:10:35.740 chucking coins at the cube

00:10:37.280 or whatever else

00:10:37.860 he was doing.

00:10:38.600 She's now going to be

00:10:39.220 Burnham's Director

00:10:39.760 of Communications

00:10:40.340 so we can expect

00:10:41.440 to be gaslit.

00:10:42.640 Then there's...

00:10:42.980 They might as well

00:10:43.400 make him an Archbishop 0.95

00:10:44.240 and a Wizard as well

00:10:45.140 because, I mean,

00:10:45.600 he's got all the other titles.

00:10:46.560 He occasionally dresses

00:10:47.360 like one.

00:10:48.300 So, yeah.

00:10:49.140 Dress for the job you want,

00:10:50.240 I suppose. 0.97

00:10:50.640 And then there's a woman detailed in Politics Home here called Alison Phillips.

00:10:54.800 Now, for those who are keen Daily Mirror readers,

00:10:57.520 you might know Alison Phillips as the editor of the Daily Mirror from 2018 to 2024.

00:11:01.460 Of course, that was a publication that, you know,

00:11:02.680 Alistair Campbell used to famously write for.

00:11:04.460 So they're just like Labour's personal spin unit.

00:11:08.840 So we can't expect much truth out of her.

00:11:11.320 She also replaced Jonathan Ashworth,

00:11:12.980 another name that will come up later because he's just been recycled as a cabinet minister,

00:11:16.700 in 2025 as the executive of Think Labour.

00:11:20.220 Think Labour, you might think, is a new think tank,

00:11:21.980 but it turns out it's Labour Together,

00:11:23.620 which is Morgan McSweeney's outfit,

00:11:25.620 which got Keir Starmer delivered into government

00:11:27.600 with the help of Peter Mandelson.

00:11:30.220 Didn't they actually break some laws as well?

00:11:32.520 So you're thinking of Josh Simons,

00:11:34.340 who was the head of Labour Together,

00:11:35.760 who stood down in Makerfield to allow Andy Burnham to run.

00:11:38.120 Josh Simons reportedly asked Special Branch

00:11:39.960 to spy on journalists that were writing negative stories

00:11:42.040 about Labour Together.

00:11:43.380 So Labour Together, Peter Mandelson,

00:11:46.520 Josh Simons, Andy Burnham,

00:11:48.680 And one thing they don't mention here

00:11:50.560 is on her appointment on Companies House,

00:11:52.960 she turns out to have been an executive

00:11:54.780 at Hope Not Hate.

00:11:57.520 Right, then.

00:11:59.100 Yeah, she only resigned 0.50

00:12:00.200 blimmy about a week ago. 0.98

00:12:03.540 Oh.

00:12:04.400 Yeah.

00:12:05.380 She also endorsed Nick Lowell's book.

00:12:07.140 It's on Amazon.

00:12:08.260 She says of the tactics

00:12:09.840 that Nick Lowell's wants to use

00:12:10.940 to fight the far right,

00:12:11.880 hello, it's us.

00:12:13.300 She said,

00:12:14.060 there are few people

00:12:14.740 who understand better than Nick Lowell's

00:12:16.460 what is going on

00:12:17.060 with the well-organised groups that seek to undermine our social fabric,

00:12:20.020 and crucially, he discusses what must be done about it.

00:12:23.420 Now, Hope Not Hate, as has been named in a Swedish government report

00:12:26.260 on counter-terror in Antifa, by the way,

00:12:27.940 Hope Not Hate essentially exists as a doxing website

00:12:30.980 to put targets on people's backs.

00:12:34.240 Well, the ultimate outcome they want is the Ann Widdicombe murder. 0.87

00:12:36.380 Yeah, funny that.

00:12:37.680 As I mentioned later, they deleted and archived their page on Ann Widdicombe.

00:12:42.420 Yes.

00:12:42.700 I wonder, and this is pure speculation,

00:12:44.480 I wonder if that's because it turned up in the search history of the killer.

00:12:47.060 and also it had done its job

00:12:49.760 when hope not hate

00:12:51.120 put a target on someone's back

00:12:52.620 at the very very least

00:12:54.640 they want to ruin you

00:12:55.900 so you can never get a job again

00:12:57.540 but they would hope 0.97

00:12:59.040 that you'd get Anne Widdicombed

00:13:00.360 they absolutely hope that

00:13:02.460 of course they do

00:13:03.320 that's their real hope

00:13:05.080 Douglas Murray wrote a story

00:13:06.140 before where they

00:13:07.040 wrote an article

00:13:08.000 on a friend of his

00:13:08.860 about Islamophobia

00:13:09.640 and a jihadist 0.90

00:13:10.280 tried to kill him

00:13:10.920 and then they contacted Douglas

00:13:12.320 and said

00:13:12.880 if you don't write

00:13:13.800 negative things about us

00:13:14.640 we won't put you

00:13:15.100 on our state of hate report

00:13:16.300 So they know what they're doing.

00:13:17.220 It's just moral blackmail to put you in the crosshairs

00:13:19.180 of some febrile-minded communist or jihadist

00:13:22.760 who they will defend till their dying days

00:13:25.600 because if you say, well, they shouldn't be in the country

00:13:27.560 or they should be in prison, they'll just call you a racist

00:13:29.140 and try and put you on their radar.

00:13:31.920 She's not the only one, by the way.

00:13:33.260 The person who also promoted Nick Lowell's book on his substack,

00:13:36.680 which positively twos of people read, is Mr. Matthew McGregor.

00:13:40.000 Now, Matthew McGregor is mentioned in this Politics Home article.

00:13:43.500 it's also mentioned in the previous Politico article, Matthew McGregor has been hired as

00:13:49.880 Burnham's director of political strategy. So the entire operation is going to be run according to

00:13:54.420 what Matthew McGregor thinks. He is the chief executive of the 38 Degrees campaign, which

00:13:59.980 regularly attends Carol Vorderman's events in London, according to Charlotte Gill, and has

00:14:03.880 also funded the Good Law Project. Remember, what was her awful name? Gina Miller, the one that

00:14:08.580 tried to sabotage the Brexit deal? Yeah, that's her organisation. They're constantly agitating for, 0.90

00:14:12.880 puberty blockers be given to children as well. He was also a senior executive in Hope Not Hate

00:14:17.580 and worked on Barack Obama's 2012 re-election campaign. He also, according to this reporting

00:14:23.900 in The Spectator, he's also involved in another charity which agitates to prevent for the stripping

00:14:30.760 of citizenship from ISIS brides. So as Noah Hoffman reports here, he is appointed to the

00:14:38.600 board of the charity reprieve has been there since april 2022 it aggressively lobbies the uk

00:14:43.480 government to abolish citizenship stripping and it says the practice is brutal and harmful and says

00:14:50.440 this uk policy is fundamentally racist only people with foreign ties can have their citizenship taken

00:14:56.000 away duh obviously actually well the only the only example that i can think of is that british guy

00:15:04.700 who was a policeman, who moved to Russia,

00:15:07.020 married a girl there.

00:15:08.040 He has a Russian wife. 0.89

00:15:08.800 Yeah, and they stripped citizenship from him.

00:15:11.000 So actually, no, they are stripping citizenship 0.68

00:15:13.080 from the native people, not the fifth column. 0.89

00:15:16.180 Yes.

00:15:17.400 I mean, he has foreign ties,

00:15:19.080 but in the sense that we're talking about,

00:15:20.740 yeah, he's a British guy.

00:15:21.980 They're complaining that the power has been used

00:15:24.560 almost exclusively against British Muslims,

00:15:26.940 mainly of South Asian, Middle Eastern,

00:15:29.600 and African heritage. 0.66

00:15:30.620 So you can tell them apart then.

00:15:32.700 They also boast of fighting to help our clients in northeast Syria to regain their citizenship. 0.85

00:15:37.960 So all the ISIS defectors that are milling about with Shemima Begum in the middle of the desert, 0.83

00:15:42.780 they're the ones that have been silently working to bring them back.

00:15:44.680 And some of them have been brought back, according to the people that interviewed Shemima Begum before.

00:15:48.100 And they're trying to challenge the toxic narrative that women detained in Syria are ISIS brides.

00:15:52.980 Well, they married ISIS fighters and they would party to the beheadings and had their children. 0.96

00:15:57.640 So I think ISIS bride is a pretty accurate descriptor.

00:16:01.000 But this is the guy that Andy Burnham wants to put as his chief executive. 0.99

00:16:04.660 And the reason is, I would wager,

00:16:06.380 is because he led the campaign against the Brexit party in 2019 for Hope Not Hate.

00:16:10.560 So he was the one that was tasked with fighting Farage personally.

00:16:14.600 So this guy is going to be in charge of 10 Downing Street.

00:16:18.160 This guy's going to be in charge of 10 Downing Street after,

00:16:20.660 as we've already mentioned, Hope Not Hate removed their page on Ann Widdicombe

00:16:23.780 after her murder being hit 21 times in the head with a hammer wielded by a communist.

00:16:29.060 And after, as well, Starmer's government...

00:16:30.860 Just quickly on the Brexit thing.

00:16:31.920 I mean, they didn't really need to do anything

00:16:33.720 because Farage sabotaged it himself.

00:16:36.540 Yes, but they were particularly vexed

00:16:39.000 because they had a pretty clean sweep at the MEP elections.

00:16:42.840 Well, yeah, but, I mean, come the general election,

00:16:45.400 Farage did it for them.

00:16:46.700 Yeah, which is why it was an absolutely appalling mistake

00:16:49.160 to, you know, work with Hope Not Hate

00:16:50.720 to deselect some candidates in 2024.

00:16:52.640 Remind me, lads, who were those candidates?

00:16:55.560 I can't remember now.

00:16:56.200 Think of a couple, can't we?

00:16:57.200 I can't remember anything.

00:16:58.300 names particularly but yeah i guess i guess they've been chucked into the oubliette of

00:17:03.020 political obscurity by hope not hate and richard tice himself uh very silly thing to do gents

00:17:07.420 it's also after in the latter days of starma's premiership remember that the uk government wants

00:17:12.560 to annex the youtube algorithm and determine who is authoritative so now the government that's

00:17:16.960 doing that is now run entirely by hope not hate operatives they're not the only one though um i

00:17:21.320 just want to point out that mr mcgregor is um particularly vexed about anti-semitism and he

00:17:27.240 did a series of podcasts and the like with Ruth Smeeth, who we've discussed before, Bo. Many people

00:17:32.540 won't know who Ruth Smeeth is, but she is a senior Labour baroness. Back in 2016, she gave the

00:17:38.840 following interview to Sky News and detailed that she is, before getting elected, been involved in

00:17:45.520 running Hope Not Hate and has seen politicians for decades use vile, hateful political rhetoric,

00:17:50.100 the BNP, now UKIP, you've just been talking about Donald Trump in the States. So evil hate-filled

00:17:54.580 rhetoric hasn't gone away. So, you know, our American partners are going to find this new

00:17:57.480 government pretty much impossible to work with because everybody from Mandy Burnham to Ruth

00:18:02.220 Smith to Hope Not Hate themselves have had it out for Donald Trump. And so God knows how they're

00:18:07.400 going to negotiate, especially with Ed Miliband as foreign secretary as well, who just, you know,

00:18:11.780 spurts out about Trump at every available opportunity. Ruth Smith is the worst.

00:18:17.180 Why is that? She's the worst. A true sort of foreign agent or something. 1.00

00:18:21.600 How dare you accuse a woman of being a foreign agent who, according to her own Wikipedia page, worked as the Director of Public Affairs and Campaigns at the Britain-Israel Communications and Research Centre, also worked for the Community Security Trust and for the Board of Deputies of British Jews.

00:18:35.940 Oh, and was also named in a 2009 US communique as a trusted source to strictly protect, because she leaked details that Gordon Brown might call an early election to US intelligence.

00:18:45.120 Hmm. Hmm. Hmm.

00:18:47.260 I couldn't possibly say that she'd been working with foreign countries there,

00:18:51.600 especially with an agenda that, you know, doesn't quite serve our interests.

00:18:54.820 Burnham seems to have surrounded himself with a cabal of truly subversive traitors. 0.98

00:19:00.800 Wretched communists. 0.99

00:19:02.020 Yeah. 0.99

00:19:02.520 You need at least 9 out of 10 on your subversion or traitor stat

00:19:06.580 in order to get in with Burnham's team.

00:19:08.520 Well, I think she's got 10 out of 10

00:19:09.640 because Ruth Smith was deputy director of Hope Not Hate from 2010 to 2015

00:19:12.780 and then a trustee of its charitable trust until July 2024.

00:19:17.260 She was then replaced, when she stepped down, by Gemma Levine, who is the chief operating officer of Morgan McSweeney's Center for Countering Digital Hate.

00:19:25.860 If you remember, Center for Countering Digital Hate, especially for our American viewers and those in the Trump administration, it's headed up by this guy.

00:19:33.320 This is Imran Ahmed, who the State Department attempted to remove his permanent resident status last year and deport him.

00:19:42.420 He's fighting it through the US courts.

00:19:43.780 Right, based.

00:19:44.580 Yeah, unfortunately he's still stuck there because a British national, although obviously he's not British, can use the US legal system to force US government to keep him in the US despite him trying to undermine US free speech and democracy.

00:19:58.380 And if you think that's a heavy charge, I mean, the Centre for Countering Digital Hate did work expressly to, quote, kill Musk's ex in the run-up to the last US election using Senator Amy Klobuchar's...

00:20:09.980 That's all the child protection stuff is now.

00:20:12.120 We must protect children from, you know, online.

00:20:15.060 It's all just a subversive way of getting rid of Twitter.

00:20:17.140 Yeah, well, you know what?

00:20:18.500 I'll pick up on that in a minute,

00:20:19.420 because Hope and Hay have been very concerned

00:20:21.500 about protecting children online,

00:20:22.820 but the people they've asked to do it

00:20:24.140 haven't exactly been protecting children online.

00:20:26.260 I can imagine.

00:20:28.260 Anyway, back to Smith.

00:20:30.620 Turns out that Keir Starmer decided to appoint her

00:20:32.680 a government whip responsible for maintaining

00:20:34.900 Labour Party discipline among House of Lords.

00:20:36.980 So she has a very, very, very senior role.

00:20:39.980 And then she was appointed the Parliamentary Secretary for the Cabinet Office by Keir Starmer.

00:20:45.740 So she is one of the most senior figures in Cabinet.

00:20:48.000 So if we go down, they're on the website, just down here.

00:20:51.000 There she is, Baroness Anderson, formerly Smith, of Stoke-on-Trent,

00:20:54.180 accompanied by the Right Honourable Hamish Falconer.

00:20:56.460 Yes, son of Lord Falconer, Blair's lawyer, friend of Peter Mandelson, obsessed with assisted life.

00:21:02.560 Yes, the Iraq War is completely legal because reasons.

00:21:05.940 Yeah, so basically, Bruce Smith, hope not hate, scion.

00:21:09.980 is one of the most senior figures in the Cabinet, 0.87

00:21:11.980 alongside Andy Burnham's Director of Political Operations,

00:21:15.800 Matthew McGregor, who is one of the most senior figures in Hope Not Hate.

00:21:18.380 Oh, and the other woman as well, who is a senior figure in Hope Not Hate.

00:21:22.180 Oh, and funnily enough as well, is she on here?

00:21:25.060 Where is her?

00:21:26.240 Well, Anna Turley, I think she was on the website this morning, actually. 0.76

00:21:28.580 She might have been removed.

00:21:31.400 She was in the Cabinet as well.

00:21:34.120 And Anna Turley, if you look at it, yeah.

00:21:37.040 member of Hope Not Hate

00:21:38.260 Charitable Trust

00:21:39.200 and Hope Not Hate Limited

00:21:40.060 I think she's been

00:21:40.520 shuffled around

00:21:40.980 as of this morning

00:21:41.480 but still

00:21:41.760 very senior

00:21:42.400 was just in there

00:21:43.040 oh and by the way 0.99

00:21:43.860 in terms of her role

00:21:45.880 Ruth Smeeth role

00:21:46.840 do you know who

00:21:47.660 she was preceded by

00:21:48.500 by any chance?

00:21:50.140 oh it was Josh Simons

00:21:50.800 of Lake Together

00:21:52.100 who stood down

00:21:52.820 and let Burnham run

00:21:54.000 oh okay

00:21:54.460 we're seeing the same

00:21:55.120 sort of people

00:21:55.540 just sort of

00:21:55.960 rotate out roles here

00:21:56.840 so it's clearly a

00:21:57.780 the Starmer put in charge

00:21:59.160 of the ID card project

00:22:00.420 for a while

00:22:00.940 yeah

00:22:01.260 weird that

00:22:02.340 very incestuous

00:22:03.120 patronage network

00:22:03.840 going on here

00:22:04.380 but there's an 1.00

00:22:05.300 additionally incestuous one

00:22:06.220 and I'm going to

00:22:06.760 sort of tread on some contentious ground here. It's not just Hope Not Hate that these figures

00:22:11.340 are involved with. Hope Not Hate seems inextricably connected, not just with the Home Office and the

00:22:16.300 intelligence services, but also Jewish labour. And Jewish labour is, of course, the vehicle that 0.98

00:22:21.220 Keir Starmer used to unseat Jeremy Corbyn on the accusations of anti-Semitism. And it seems to me

00:22:26.140 like these are absolutely reprehensible people with a penchant for hiring violent thugs like

00:22:30.900 Matthew Collins over at Hope Not Hate, who praised Stalin's Red Army in 2013 and also admitted to

00:22:35.780 attacking and hospitalising Asian women with a hammer. No, I don't know about you. Yeah,

00:22:39.680 live on breakfast television. There's a clip out there. It's in my most recent video on my channel.

00:22:43.800 I don't know about you, but I have never been in a Nazi party, then literally a member of the

00:22:48.700 Communist Party, praised the genocidal dictator and attacked women with a hammer. But he has, 0.72

00:22:53.880 and hope not hate, which is now being rewarded by the current and previous government,

00:22:57.880 thinks that he is a respectable person to determine what is and isn't radical.

00:23:02.440 So respectable, in fact, that Stephen Graham

00:23:04.660 started to play him in a documentary.

00:23:07.160 Hmm.

00:23:08.040 Yeah.

00:23:08.680 But if we look at this,

00:23:10.180 the reason I bring this up

00:23:11.120 is because Ruth Smith was actually running Jewish Labour

00:23:13.140 for a while with Mike Katz.

00:23:14.900 Mike Katz, who was given a peerage by Keir Starmer,

00:23:17.680 I think, in 2025 as well.

00:23:18.840 So again, they're rewarding the same people.

00:23:21.420 She was elected the parliamentary chair

00:23:23.280 of the Jewish Labour movement from April to November 2019,

00:23:25.960 when she, of course, lost her seat in the election.

00:23:28.720 Margaret Hodge, who is a name that people might remember,

00:23:30.940 I think she's been appointed, was it Starmer's like one of his anti-corruption people or something?

00:23:35.540 She was elected as Labour MP's, she was the Labour MP for Barking and Dagenham,

00:23:39.980 elected with the assistance of Hope Not Hate.

00:23:41.480 She was elected as Ruth Smeese VP.

00:23:43.540 And then somewhere on here, there is a list of names.

00:23:47.600 If we try and look for the policy officer.

00:23:50.100 Oh, the policy officer elected was Liron Velleman.

00:23:52.740 Does that name ring a bell to anyone?

00:23:54.560 Oh, is that the actual convicted sexophile?

00:23:57.220 Right.

00:23:57.620 Who worked for Hope Not Hate.

00:23:59.020 Right.

00:24:00.220 Didn't get any jail time, though.

00:24:01.860 No?

00:24:02.220 Weird that.

00:24:02.940 Purely suspended sentence,

00:24:03.920 despite being...

00:24:04.300 So what's his job now?

00:24:06.060 Don't know what his job is now,

00:24:07.500 but he was a Labour councillor

00:24:08.780 who campaigned with Keir Starmer

00:24:10.020 and Sadiq Khan at last election,

00:24:11.480 and he was working for Hope Not Hate,

00:24:13.120 and I think he was on the board

00:24:13.900 of a synagogue as well,

00:24:15.140 and he represented Hope Not Hate in 2022

00:24:17.700 for the Online Safety Act

00:24:19.020 to talk about how to keep children safe online.

00:24:20.760 Speaking to, I think it was Lucy Powell,

00:24:22.080 funnily enough.

00:24:23.140 Staying away from men like that?

00:24:25.080 You'd think so, but...

00:24:26.540 But no, it's going to be shutting down...

00:24:28.780 Meanwhile, he was... I can't remember what it was.

00:24:30.820 Was he actually texting some nine-year-old or something, wasn't it?

00:24:33.580 A 13-year-old caught in a police sting and he sent explicit images.

00:24:37.080 Right.

00:24:37.900 But he was working for Ruth Smith and Hope Not Hate,

00:24:41.360 who have now been rewarded to the most senior positions

00:24:43.820 in the Cabinet under Andy Burnham.

00:24:45.860 He's also not the only reprobate involved, 0.98

00:24:47.940 because when the Jewish Labour movement were hosting events

00:24:51.480 in the aftermath of Starmer's ousting,

00:24:53.540 there's Margaret Hodge at the front, there's Mike Katz,

00:24:55.320 and, of course, there's Ruth Smith.

00:24:56.960 This was their big conference in 2020.

00:24:58.780 And one of their events, hosted in conversation with Gabriel Pogrand, who authored the book on Jeremy Corbyn's tenure, was in conversation with Lord Peter Mandelson in an event titled, and I am not making this up, Bedtime Horror Stories.

00:25:13.960 best friend of the world's most famous pedophile

00:25:17.340 Jeffrey Epstein was doing

00:25:19.240 events for Jewish Labour

00:25:20.180 who at the time were employing Liron Velleman

00:25:23.060 the now convicted pedophile

00:25:24.620 and now Andy Burnham is

00:25:27.120 allowing people from Hope Not Hate

00:25:28.380 previously sent to counter-digital hate

00:25:30.620 and Labour Together, Morgan McSweeney's outfit

00:25:32.820 into government after McSweeney had to resign

00:25:35.200 in disgrace

00:25:37.040 over his association with Peter Mandelson

00:25:38.520 they're just playing musical chairs with the same people

00:25:41.060 that's all it is

00:25:42.300 So it's actually, yeah, it's going to get worse,

00:25:44.760 but it's also just some of the same people.

00:25:46.740 But the final one I wanted to mention in connection with Mandelson

00:25:50.100 is, of course, Wes Streeting, who we mentioned earlier.

00:25:53.000 Because Wes Streeting is now the Secretary of State for Defence,

00:25:56.800 despite previously working for Stonewall.

00:25:59.900 Maybe he just wants to get closer to the lads in uniform.

00:26:02.300 Who knows?

00:26:03.460 I mean, it's mad that he's the Secretary of State for Defence 0.98

00:26:06.920 when he can't even defend his own buttocks. 0.98

00:26:09.900 Yeah. 0.98

00:26:10.260 I couldn't have put it better myself.

00:26:13.200 I think Jonathan Reynolds has been given a new job, by the way.

00:26:16.240 He's now Secretary of State for...

00:26:18.320 Oh, no.

00:26:18.920 Has he been moved?

00:26:19.900 No.

00:26:20.280 He is Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade,

00:26:22.740 despite never having run a business.

00:26:23.940 I wanted to mention this because Reynolds is also the former head of Labour Friends of Israel.

00:26:27.640 So again...

00:26:28.280 Is he the one that said he can barely read?

00:26:30.940 He said he had dyslexia and can't really read.

00:26:32.760 Was that him? 1.00

00:26:33.240 I can't remember, but I would believe it.

00:26:35.040 And I'm not raising this just to be edgy or anything. 0.59

00:26:37.160 I'm just saying these people have used anti-Semitism as a kind of deflector shield

00:26:40.480 to deflect away from their horrible politics and their quite reprehensible behaviour.

00:26:44.820 Like, sorry, I don't care if your first priority is anti-Semitism 0.99

00:26:47.300 when you're a communist who employs paedophiles. 0.98

00:26:49.620 Like, no, weirdly enough. 0.97

00:26:51.220 And I wanted to bring this up just because,

00:26:53.800 obviously, we know that West Streeting is very connected to Peter Mandelson.

00:26:57.700 I mean, he didn't stop bloody texting him, running speeches past him, everything.

00:27:01.600 Sort of his protege, wasn't he?

00:27:03.080 Yeah.

00:27:03.540 Party.

00:27:03.860 I wanted to bring this up because, obviously, your segment's going to be about Iran war.

00:27:07.160 later, and things are seemingly escalating again. Andy Burnham has said he's going to continue the

00:27:12.720 policy that Starmer sort of snuck through later on of allowing the US to use Britain's bases for

00:27:18.340 purely defensive strikes. But as things escalate, well, who have we got in charge? We've got people

00:27:23.820 from Hope Not Hate, people from Centre for Countering Digital Hate, but we've also got now

00:27:27.520 as our Defence Secretary, Wes Streeting, a close friend of Peter Mandelson. And so that's plugged

00:27:34.080 into what seems like, via Bruce Smith and Labour Friends of Israel and Jewish Labour movement,

00:27:38.540 essentially a foreign influence network. So now we've got someone who is a node in that network

00:27:42.960 sitting atop our defence policy, under the jurisdiction of Andy Burnham and Hope Not Hate.

00:27:47.700 So as we're about to enter a wartime scenario, as they're unleashing thousands of criminals,

00:27:52.720 as immigration continues to get worse, and as they're about to take control of social media

00:27:56.240 and annex the YouTube algorithm, we're run by these people. So pray for us all, it's about to 0.99

00:28:02.320 it a whole lot worse.

00:28:04.180 Thanks for that, the good people of Makerfield.

00:28:06.140 Well done. Top work.

00:28:09.540 Anyway, we've got some rumble

00:28:10.300 rants. Sorry about that depressing segment. God forbid you ever

00:28:12.300 vote for anyone other than a Labour candidate

00:28:14.360 in your entire existence as a

00:28:16.280 constituency.

00:28:18.200 Dan, do you want to do a couple of rumble rants?

00:28:21.440 Yeah, if you want to.

00:28:22.740 Okay, alright, I'll do it then.

00:28:24.040 That's a random name for $1. The 2029 election

00:28:26.360 will be your last chance to take your country back.

00:28:28.540 He says peacefully. Godspeed, gentlemen.

00:28:30.600 We cannot be fed posting here.

00:28:31.720 We do not live in a free country.

00:28:34.520 Parties better make the most of the opportunity then.

00:28:36.640 He also says, when we win, stochastic terrorism 0.98

00:28:39.600 should be made a retroactive crime 0.99

00:28:40.900 and everyone committed such offences

00:28:42.700 should be made an example of.

00:28:44.020 It's kind of hard to criminalise,

00:28:45.280 but I would say that Hope Not Hate

00:28:46.360 needs to be prescribed as a terrorist organisation.

00:28:48.480 Because they are.

00:28:49.400 They are just, they know what they're doing.

00:28:51.800 And that should be a policy

00:28:52.880 that should be taken up by any of their opponents,

00:28:54.280 to be honest.

00:28:56.880 Oshigdor, bless you, $2.

00:28:58.340 Need to popularise the term Anglophobia. 1.00

00:29:01.160 True. 0.84

00:29:02.220 Scott,

00:29:03.140 Cyguy,

00:29:03.760 for $5,

00:29:04.440 thank you.

00:29:04.860 UK is an island.

00:29:05.740 Would be an awful shame

00:29:06.660 if things go south.

00:29:08.560 If the first things

00:29:09.580 that went out

00:29:10.320 as all escape routes,

00:29:11.200 they're stuck with their consequences,

00:29:12.420 I would not endorse,

00:29:13.540 of course.

00:29:14.040 Yeah,

00:29:14.180 but we'd be stuck here too

00:29:15.160 because unless I am

00:29:16.420 exiled,

00:29:17.780 I don't plan on leaving,

00:29:18.860 so please don't,

00:29:20.200 you know,

00:29:20.880 fantasize about destruction

00:29:22.020 of our island

00:29:22.400 because we all live here.

00:29:23.520 And then Sigilstone,

00:29:24.840 for $2,

00:29:25.500 this segment needs to be shut down.

00:29:26.740 Well,

00:29:26.900 it will be

00:29:27.280 if the government

00:29:27.640 has anything to say about it.

00:29:29.020 It will be.

00:29:29.720 Take it away, Dan.

00:29:31.020 Excellent.

00:29:32.320 There we go.

00:29:33.000 We've got the stuff.

00:29:33.980 Right.

00:29:34.720 So, I mean, thank you for that, Connor.

00:29:36.980 You're showing us how it's going to get worse.

00:29:39.100 I'm now going to up the tempo and tell you how we've kind of reached the point of no return.

00:29:43.980 July 2026, I discovered in an ONS report, is basically the point where, from now on,

00:29:52.220 deaths are going to exceed births.

00:29:54.940 Right.

00:29:55.340 that only happened in one year as far as i know on record and that was during covid yes well now

00:30:01.800 it's a permanent trend from july 2026 onwards that's a permanent trend which basically means

00:30:07.820 if you think that the population replacement has been fast to date it's about to get considerably

00:30:13.880 faster because now at least before we had a stock of native population that was relatively large

00:30:19.760 even though the number of immigrants is going up now the stock of natives is going to be declining

00:30:23.960 ever faster and it's also an inverted demographic pyramid yes oh very much so very much so so i

00:30:29.480 mean before i uh before i terrify you with that too much the ons report um good news we have a

00:30:34.460 new islander out so buy that which is a very collectible item and that will hopefully cheer

00:30:39.780 you up a bit but i will take you now to the ons report so um good god what's happened here samson

00:30:46.140 could we have that in not not black it's weird there's a there's a dark mode yes we don't want

00:30:52.760 dark there we go it's dark enough as it is in this country um yeah right what i what i need is

00:30:58.660 section three let's find that

00:31:03.160 ladies and gentlemen there we go content right um component population change uh so the population

00:31:14.820 of the uk is projected to increase uh two million uh over the next 10 years yeah that's that's

00:31:20.800 mainly because so many people are leaving giving up and leaving um it still accounts for another

00:31:25.900 seven million people immigrate so the boris wave that's going to happen all over again

00:31:30.620 and by the way that seven million extra people coming to the uk over the next 10 years

00:31:35.880 that is a drastically revised down estimate which assumes that the top end of all shabana

00:31:43.580 Mahmood's immigration reforms actually work and none of it gets reversed ever. So the most

00:31:50.400 optimistic possible scenario is another Boris wave coming in. I, cynical that I am, think that

00:31:57.120 the indefinitely to remain extensions are just a marketing ploy to get it over the line with the

00:32:01.360 public because the real policy is actually contained in that Fabian document that she

00:32:05.560 got inspired from, which is the new safe and legal routes for indefinite numbers of refugees and her

00:32:10.700 ethnic kin and co-religionists from the third world so we'll be shocked if it gets rewound

00:32:15.300 anyway but it's not going to be less than seven million so it could it could be considered so

00:32:19.600 we're going to get at least one boris wave in addition to the one that we've already had

00:32:24.120 um if not two or three if we're not somewhat so mystic about that well yeah the boris wave

00:32:29.120 six million in six years so yes comparable numbers yeah yeah so it's going to happen again

00:32:33.260 at least once um here we go uh 6.4 million people will be born and 6.8 million people will die

00:32:39.980 and so if you net all of these out the 7 million coming in and the 5 million uh giving up and just

00:32:46.340 leaving the country all of the population growth from this point on all of it is going to be 0.86

00:32:52.740 immigrants it's going to be third world as that that is going to be the literally the only reason 1.00

00:32:58.120 the population goes up from this point and also concerning those births as well at the moment 0.99

00:33:04.020 only 53 percent of all live births in britain are white british and so that number oh yes that

00:33:09.880 number goes below 50 by 2031 yeah so that means that in addition to the population growth being

00:33:15.900 predominantly from immigration um the additional population replacement level is going to be half

00:33:23.580 not british as well yes yes so that's all of that added together would spell disaster for our 0.97

00:33:31.500 demographic oh yeah so i mean that's a disaster that's the key point i'm making in this from

00:33:37.640 this aren't demographics destiny but from this point forward if you so you think you're sitting

00:33:43.880 at home and you think that the population replacement has been fast over the last 10 years

00:33:48.480 it's going to get faster now because the because the native population is dying off much faster

00:33:54.260 than they're being born and so whatever you think if you think the last 10 years was bad it's going

00:33:59.060 to get so much worse over the next 10 years because of because of these two factors with

00:34:02.920 what you've just talked about with the with the foreign-born births and this is that the stock 1.00

00:34:08.080 of existing people which is basically because the large boom of generation they're going to be

00:34:12.380 dying or faster it's going to happen really quickly from here on in and there's going to

00:34:16.260 be at least one more bobbets wave this this is very crude to say but three quarters of all new

00:34:21.440 people in britain are going to be non-british yes yeah next 10 years are going to be absolutely

00:34:29.040 absolutely transformation why do you think then when steve edgington put it to nigel if he's

00:34:33.200 concerned about demographic decline or replacement nigel immediately said no i think it's contradictory

00:34:38.900 because in 2021 he came out and responded to the census by saying it's an atrocious that leicester

00:34:44.380 luton bradford manchester birmingham and london are all minority white and that's when sajid

00:34:48.280 javid said so what and then he seems to have reversed his position yeah um but the thing is

00:34:54.060 his voters don't resist their position.

00:34:55.660 Well, I mean, the problem with Nigel Farage

00:34:57.140 is that for him, as a boomer liberal,

00:35:00.660 the worst possible thing you can be called is a racist.

00:35:03.240 And he would rather lose his country

00:35:04.460 than be called a racist.

00:35:05.340 I don't think that's true, actually.

00:35:06.680 Well, why does he keep saying it again and again?

00:35:08.940 The reason I say that is because

00:35:10.360 they've recently put out this massive 5,000-word substack 1.00

00:35:12.940 on his name, which I assume a team of very competent Zoomers

00:35:16.480 wrote, he obviously signed off on it,

00:35:18.560 which is expressly about the decline

00:35:20.200 of white British demographic

00:35:21.540 and how, because they're in demographic decline,

00:35:23.920 as well as in a legal straitjacket,

00:35:26.040 like the murder of Henry Novak,

00:35:27.640 that they're going to become a mistreated minority.

00:35:29.500 Now, we were saying this to you off air, 1.00

00:35:31.520 it's all well and good having it written out,

00:35:32.980 but if you don't say it on camera, it doesn't mean anything.

00:35:34.760 So he needs to come out and clarify his position very quick,

00:35:36.960 because I'll tell you what...

00:35:37.700 The thing is, he has clarified...

00:35:38.760 He's come out a number of times on camera,

00:35:40.560 giving interviews,

00:35:41.120 and he's clarified his position and says he doesn't care.

00:35:43.840 Yeah, and he's written it contradictory.

00:35:45.680 I mean, we can point to the occasional article

00:35:48.200 which has gone out in his name,

00:35:49.380 probably written by somebody else,

00:35:50.760 which alludes to the fact that he does recognise it as an issue.

00:35:53.620 But every time it's actually put to him in person, he says, no, I don't care.

00:35:57.720 It doesn't matter.

00:35:58.680 If you tally it up, it's probably like three to two, don't care to care.

00:36:01.980 So, I mean, he's definitely got a credibility deficit on this.

00:36:05.060 I mean, it needs to be shouted from the rooftops 100% of the time.

00:36:09.380 Everything else is downstream of that, surely, our demographic replacement.

00:36:13.420 Isn't everything else down, isn't that the only existential question of our time?

00:36:17.780 I'm glad you asked, actually, because, no, there's more.

00:36:20.640 The implications of this are worse than you first might think.

00:36:23.080 But yeah, I'll just point out, it says it clearly here,

00:36:27.460 net migration is projected to be the only source of population growth

00:36:31.040 in the UK over the next 25 years,

00:36:33.000 as deaths are expected to seed burst by 2.5 million.

00:36:36.080 So the population change is going to be remarkable from here on.

00:36:38.860 Just to say, this can be combated by the fix everything button 0.52

00:36:42.460 of mass re-migration.

00:36:44.080 Yes, and a few other things.

00:36:46.320 It is possible for countries to forcibly mass re-migrate people

00:36:51.160 throughout history.

00:36:52.000 In fact, today, a couple of different places around the world,

00:36:55.120 today, programs like that are going on,

00:36:58.520 and throughout history, many, many, many examples of it.

00:37:00.640 You just need the political will to actually do it.

00:37:04.080 So we could avoid complete demographic... 0.61

00:37:07.620 India and Pakistan can manage to pull off, you know, re-migration. 0.65

00:37:13.260 I mean, Pakistan has presumably got a Pakistani Home Secretary 1.00

00:37:16.300 just like we have, but they can do it and we can't, 1.00

00:37:18.300 so I'm not entirely sure why that is.

00:37:19.820 We also don't need indefinite population growth.

00:37:22.000 This idea that we need to cram ourselves,

00:37:24.040 turn into a grain silo for the detritus of the throne.

00:37:26.680 So I'll tell you what, I'll show you what I'm coming to

00:37:29.320 because, I mean, actually, if we are going to have the social contract,

00:37:35.220 the post-war social contract that we do have,

00:37:37.440 yes, we do need permanent population growth.

00:37:39.780 Yeah.

00:37:40.200 So we need to change that.

00:37:42.480 Samson, can you make it big?

00:37:45.180 Our technical wizard is going to...

00:37:46.540 Drink first.

00:37:47.120 There we go.

00:37:48.660 Right.

00:37:49.280 So this is...

00:37:50.180 Yes, don't...

00:37:51.220 That wasn't scripted.

00:37:52.000 yes so the point of no return has been reached let me take you for what i'm meaning so so these

00:37:57.200 are the these are the follow-on implications from what i've been showing you so far britain

00:38:02.100 has stopped replacing itself native replacement is the system now that's all it is um the

00:38:07.980 replacement accelerator the immigration age trap basically immigrants age as well so it doesn't

00:38:14.840 actually so immigration doesn't actually bail you out of the problem of a declining birth rate 1.00

00:38:19.460 all it does is postpone it a few years and then makes your problem bigger when those immigrants

00:38:23.960 that you brought in to give you the population growth also retire it doesn't it doesn't save

00:38:28.680 anything uh the upside down population pyramid which is what you what you um correctly identified

00:38:34.040 there the welfare state has entered its terminal mathematics on the system that we have it is

00:38:41.920 mathematically impossible for the british state not to go bankrupt now it just it just cannot be

00:38:47.220 done if if you are the british state and you want to you want to destroy this country literally from

00:38:52.240 from july 2026 onwards all you need to do is nothing just maintain the status quo and it will

00:38:57.740 collapse it's a mathematical certainty um gdp can rise where the country get poor because we're 1.00

00:39:03.760 bringing in immigrants because they make an immediate contribution on day one if they're 0.99

00:39:08.940 if they're paying taxes assume we even get ones who come in and have jobs yeah if but that's what

00:39:14.200 the ons numbers are based on because the ons basically assume that anybody that comes in

00:39:19.000 will be exactly as productive as an existing british person despite their own modeling

00:39:24.000 admitting that only whites are net tax contributors yes despite that but at the moment they so they

00:39:30.080 compartmentalize that over there and another part that does the um the obr projections that says

00:39:36.160 every new immigrant is exactly as productive as a brit so i even on that basis um because all i'm

00:39:43.200 doing i'm not making any projection all i'm doing is taking the implications of their own numbers

00:39:47.140 and their own logic what will happen is gdp will rise while the country gets poorer so the the

00:39:52.960 government will keep getting able to announce oh look gdp's gone up by 0.1 0.03 or whatever it is

00:39:59.540 yeah uh but gdp per head will keep rising and the other thing is britain is just completely

00:40:05.960 rejected pro-natalism so i mean i whizzed through this i mean comment wherever you see fit chaps

00:40:11.100 but oh no bugger how do i do this make it big again samson it's got it's flopped i think there

00:40:17.520 we go it's it's big again right um yeah so i mean i've just laid out some of the key stuff

00:40:23.780 yeah immigration is the only reason the country grows now

00:40:27.040 i agree with uh morgoth when he said you can just finish the sentence there yeah yeah i agree with

00:40:36.820 across the board on all things now where he says um i would happily uh accept a reduction in gdp

00:40:47.420 um a stagnant or even uh an economy in recession uh true austerity 1930s style early 1950s late

00:40:58.500 1940s style austerity if it meant we got our country back and our demographics weren't

00:41:05.200 staring down the barrel of annihilation i would happily accept that well i don't care about

00:41:10.600 the figure going up i don't care about that i care about not being exterminated i care about

00:41:16.640 not becoming a hated and marginalized minority in my one and only ancestral homeland i'm very

00:41:21.520 glad you said that because um we're going to get that anyway and i come to that to be fair though

00:41:29.120 again reverting to the more hopeful narrative you know far be me to be the optimist on the panel but

00:41:33.520 Well, fortunately, yeah, even though we would all have the courage to eat gruel in the dark 1.00

00:41:37.860 to prevent our children from becoming minorities, we actually don't have to. 1.00

00:41:40.340 Because the moment you just get rid of these people, we save so much money. 1.00

00:41:45.040 Like, I know the post-war settlement runs on inflated GDP figures,

00:41:49.540 then endless borrowing that can never be paid back. 0.89

00:41:53.080 However, the actual fiscal spending that is done on the immigrants themselves, 0.91

00:41:57.740 that is just completely wasteful.

00:42:00.200 Sure, we'd still have to fix the system.

00:42:01.400 But the billions we spaff with, I think it's like 15.3 billion on universal credit on just foreign national owned households alone a year.

00:42:09.720 So I think that it is a necessary precondition, but not a sufficient one. 0.67

00:42:13.520 Yes, agreed.

00:42:14.080 The rest of the welfare state has ballooned so much, especially after COVID.

00:42:18.060 There's a number of factors there.

00:42:19.300 The biggest bills are the NHS, pensions and welfare. 1.00

00:42:23.420 NHS, because of this effect, that basically we're going to get so many more old people. 1.00

00:42:27.600 In fact, I'll go on to the next slide. 1.00

00:42:28.940 Can I just say one more thing?

00:42:29.700 Yes.

00:42:29.860 i care less really about gdp and the state of the economy i care far less about that

00:42:41.600 than the fabric of our society that we end up in a position because it's not just that the money

00:42:49.040 runs out it's not just it's not merely that we become a hated and marginalized minority in our

00:42:55.060 one ancestral homeland when it really is the reality of it is a sectarian nightmare because

00:43:03.060 we haven't we haven't even been talking about the mass rapes and murders have we 0.74

00:43:05.740 that's what it'd be it'll be like Yugoslavia in the 1990s it'll be how white people are treated 0.78

00:43:11.380 in South Africa or were treated in Zimbabwe it will be a sectarian Lebanon will be we will be 0.80

00:43:18.580 subjected to endless horrors along racial religious and tribal lines that's what i care 0.99

00:43:25.380 about above all else really to try and prevent that i don't care about the gdp in compared to 0.61

00:43:31.900 that you're absolutely you're absolutely right but the point i'm making is with all of this

00:43:37.960 i'm not even going there i'm not even making any assumptions on top of what the government's own

00:43:44.200 figures show i'm just saying on the government's own figures and their own logic it is a disastrous

00:43:50.420 outcome before you even have the stuff that you're quite right to say and you're absolutely right but

00:43:56.200 even if you just take their own numbers it is still going to take us down um so burnham and

00:44:02.640 his cabinet are laughing it up yeah and they find it funny like hysterical clowns and they find it

00:44:07.580 funny so on the second one native replacement is now the system um another key point the

00:44:15.140 replacement accelerator so native replacement massively accelerates from this month onwards

00:44:19.920 because this is the month where births are massively exceeded by deaths but it just it

00:44:25.820 just becomes a permanent feature from now on big boomer generation that stock of native british

00:44:31.160 people, it declines quite fast from here. So yeah, it's an accelerator. Actually, another

00:44:39.000 line there, the share of births involving at least one foreign-born parent is already

00:44:43.800 40%. 0.78

00:44:44.660 And of course, foreign-born, if you add on top of that second-generation immigrants who 0.94

00:44:52.660 themselves will only have children with other second-generation immigrants, then again, 1.00

00:44:59.940 you get to the tipping point of 50%

00:45:02.020 of white British births by

00:45:03.740 2031. Well it's what Hope Not Hate

00:45:05.800 wants is what the Runnymede Trust wanted

00:45:07.560 isn't it? Lisa Nandy winning

00:45:09.580 the Runnymede Trust explicitly wants

00:45:12.000 not just a multicultural but a

00:45:13.740 multi-ethnic Britain. Boris Johnson

00:45:15.740 said that the solution to the Boris wave

00:45:17.700 in the Daily Mail was miscegenation

00:45:19.260 a state-sponsored campaign of miscegenation 0.98

00:45:21.520 he was demented. Danny Kruger 0.86

00:45:23.820 didn't he run an organisation with that

00:45:25.620 other woman

00:45:26.300 where it was front and centre on their website

00:45:29.720 about multi-racial, multi-ethnic Britain.

00:45:34.220 I don't know.

00:45:35.420 Well, I don't watch TV,

00:45:36.400 but I understand every advert is that.

00:45:40.260 That's just not reflected in most people's preferences.

00:45:43.620 Most people, almost 90%,

00:45:45.460 find people of the same ethnicity attractive.

00:45:49.120 I mean, let me know in the comments.

00:45:50.120 Dave Kruger did say, didn't he,

00:45:51.460 that foreign people,

00:45:54.000 if they've been here for five years or whatever,

00:45:55.420 they're as British as we are.

00:45:56.720 He said second-generation Afghans

00:45:58.400 are the heirs to Alfred the Great and Queen Victoria

00:46:02.120 as much as Anglo-Saxons, which is just palpably...

00:46:04.260 It's just so-so.

00:46:06.000 But my understanding is...

00:46:07.200 It's suicidal, isn't it?

00:46:07.960 It's a suicidal view of the world.

00:46:09.880 Yeah.

00:46:10.260 I mean, let me know in the comments,

00:46:11.180 but isn't every TV advert today basically advertising 0.92

00:46:13.940 a white woman getting with a black guy? 0.91

00:46:16.680 Oh, and also here's some coffee or something. 0.95

00:46:18.120 I've seen a lot of white guys with black women recently,

00:46:20.380 like eBay adverts and things like that as well. 0.91

00:46:22.140 Right, okay.

00:46:23.340 They've started changing it up.

00:46:24.740 Right, fair enough. 1.00

00:46:25.440 Either way, as long as you don't have evil Nazi white babies, 0.99

00:46:27.940 that's the main thing isn't it that's the main i can't have those yeah um number four the 0.99

00:46:32.060 immigration age trap so so so basically the the way that i mean this this has been coming down

00:46:36.980 the track track for a while because demographics are actually fairly easy to make predictions on

00:46:41.200 because you get a 20-year lead time for anyone coming into the workforce so it's not like these

00:46:46.800 numbers are a surprise to anyone i mean this rns report for them they think it's just a perfectly

00:46:51.360 standard you know oh let's just do the next deterioration this year so the implications

00:46:54.940 that you have to think through.

00:46:56.120 But none of this is a surprise.

00:46:57.940 And so governments have known for a while 1.00

00:46:59.780 that the immigration solution is a trap 1.00

00:47:05.000 because immigrants get old too. 1.00

00:47:09.680 Well, those of them don't work. 1.00

00:47:10.920 So two figures are propped to mind

00:47:13.360 that come from the OBR themselves.

00:47:16.480 They said your average refugee,

00:47:19.440 presuming that some of them do work,

00:47:21.240 will rack up a housing cost bill of 4.9%

00:47:24.940 billion a year. And that is the lowest possible estimate. But again, that's presuming that some

00:47:28.660 of them do work, which they overwhelmingly don't. And then the other number was, if you take a low

00:47:33.820 wage migrant, 95% of which the Boris wave were, because a very small minority were primary skilled

00:47:41.780 worker applicants who weren't paid by the taxpayer, I think it's about 5%. If you take a low wage

00:47:46.660 migrant and they arrive from age 25, and by the time of the age of average death, 81, they're 1.00

00:47:54.420 going to cost the taxpayer at least £465,000 each. And that's not counting additional medical 0.99

00:47:59.400 treatment. That's not counting their children. That's not counting if they came here before

00:48:02.680 25. And that's presuming, again, that they work. So I actually ran those numbers yesterday and I

00:48:06.620 worked out what if a 20-year-old third worlder comes here and they max out all the benefits. 1.00

00:48:12.220 They take benefits, they get all the disability allowances, they make use of the NHS, they have 1.00

00:48:16.560 four children and they make use of the NHS and they go through school. And the total cost of

00:48:21.200 uk taxpayer was was 3.2 million if they if they max everything out and those people are coming

00:48:27.420 here there are examples like that there are people who are maxing out all all of this stuff

00:48:31.020 meanwhile we can barely afford the repayments the interest on our loans yeah oh in the interest

00:48:39.180 bill meanwhile our economy is stagnant at 0.1 0.2 whatever the interest bill is now going from 110

00:48:46.300 billion to 137

00:48:48.320 billion. So that's just paying off

00:48:50.240 a credit card. And don't we have a fiscal

00:48:52.300 deficit? Wasn't the last one 134 billion?

00:48:54.860 Yeah, that'd be going up as well.

00:48:55.980 I remember conspicuously when the government

00:48:58.320 got into power, they were complaining about a 22 billion pound

00:49:00.280 black hole they found down the back

00:49:02.260 of the sofa or something. Now it's

00:49:04.320 what, 134 billion quid they've come up

00:49:06.280 short? Yep. We can afford

00:49:08.020 a massive rise in foreign aid though to

00:49:10.040 100 and, what was it, we gave

00:49:12.160 153 million to Pakistan 0.98

00:49:13.900 while we're trying to deport Pakistani rapists. 0.98

00:49:16.560 Yeah, we didn't connect them to.

00:49:17.440 And our support for Ukraine is rock solid.

00:49:20.260 Yeah.

00:49:21.000 100% as long as it takes. 1.00

00:49:23.160 Well, I mean, they're replacing the ethnic Ukrainians as well. 0.97

00:49:25.560 So they've got the same mission, presumably. 0.97

00:49:27.520 But this is your point, Connor, the upside down country. 0.99

00:49:30.000 So losing children and accumulating elderly people. 0.79

00:49:33.840 So by 2034, they're projected to be 1.6 million fewer children. 0.81

00:49:38.100 And that is quite significant.

00:49:39.380 A lot of schools are going to close.

00:49:41.440 A lot of play parks are going to be empty.

00:49:43.380 Well, and also those schools that are still open, looking at Charlie Cole's excellent work for, I know the office isn't a fan of them, Pimlico Journal, in the last week, he looked at the demographic data from 2003 to now, and he found that white British school children as a percentage share of classrooms has fallen to, I think it's 59% in state schools and 57% for private schools.

00:50:03.940 Yeah, and again, I'm not even making that point on here, because I'm just using their numbers.

00:50:08.620 So this is all children. By 2034, there's going to be 1.6 million fewer children, 1.8 million pensioners. 0.76

00:50:14.540 The number of people aged over 85 roughly doubles.

00:50:17.940 So just walking around this country in 2034, you're going to see children are going to become quite rare, 1.00

00:50:24.340 old people are going to become very common. 0.98

00:50:26.340 And also public spaces, and this is a completely incidental point to the economics, I don't want to derail, 1.00

00:50:30.520 but public spaces are going to become much worse because for as much as we do like to you know 0.59

00:50:35.500 bully the boomers for how costly they are um we do love our boomers folks boomers make up the bulk 0.77

00:50:40.260 of not just retirees of course but volunteers and so the the people i help out with like a little 0.88

00:50:47.020 garden that we had our wedding photos taken as beautiful little public space in there and i'm

00:50:51.460 the only young guy that can you know wheel the wheelbarrows about and carry the heavy things

00:50:54.820 Everyone else is about, bar one, over the age of about 50.

00:50:58.860 Yeah, exactly.

00:51:00.380 Volunteering groups are almost exclusively,

00:51:02.120 I mean, apart from you in your case.

00:51:03.220 Churches, charity shops, community gardens,

00:51:06.200 they're all just going to get worse.

00:51:07.240 Nobody's going to be picking the litter up.

00:51:09.120 Have you ever seen the film Children of Men?

00:51:11.920 I know of it.

00:51:12.900 It's starting to get like that.

00:51:13.960 Based on a PDG.

00:51:14.760 2034 is like that, yeah.

00:51:16.360 Look.

00:51:17.140 I mean, I haven't even got to the worst of it yet.

00:51:18.800 So this is the point I made.

00:51:21.080 The welfare state has entered its terminal in mathematics 1.00

00:51:22.980 because the welfare state requires more young people 0.98

00:51:27.440 and fewer old people.

00:51:29.060 That's how it's set up 1.00

00:51:29.880 because basically the reason why we have

00:51:31.100 this welfare state system and this pension system

00:51:34.300 is all post-war thinking that said,

00:51:36.480 okay, well, we've got very few old people and they're poor

00:51:38.880 and we've got loads of young people. 1.00

00:51:40.460 Look at all these baby boomers. 1.00

00:51:41.720 We've literally had a baby boomer. 1.00

00:51:42.960 We've got loads. 0.80

00:51:43.800 Therefore, let's set up a welfare system,

00:51:45.720 a pension system and an NHS system 0.99

00:51:47.860 which assumes there will always be more young people

00:51:51.020 than old people.

00:51:51.660 It was also a bunch of socialists that wanted it in the 40s and then Churchill decided to adopt it as well.

00:51:56.160 Yes, I mean, all of that. But that means, mathematically, the British state will collapse unless it changes something.

00:52:03.460 Unless it starts making serious changes now, there's no question that the British state will collapse at some point.

00:52:14.000 And I'll put a date on it later on.

00:52:15.740 seven this is the point i made gdp per head is going to stagnate but if they maintain if they

00:52:23.380 keep doing a boris wave every 10 years uh and and that is the absolute minimum they do is one boris

00:52:29.140 wave every 10 years but as we've already talked about it's likely to be at least two boris waves

00:52:33.460 but it's definitely going to be one boris wave every 10 years then the and the obr numbers

00:52:39.680 actually hold up which we also know a fantasy then the government expects to be able to report

00:52:44.720 economic growth of our GDP per head is falling and you've got to remember in all of this is that

00:52:51.840 as a country we've just rejected pro-natalism because it takes 20 years to get a child up into

00:52:58.200 the workforce and every government is like why should I care about what happens in 20 years time

00:53:03.800 I need to get re-elected in five years and what's going to help me in five years or maybe if I get 1.00

00:53:08.880 some migrants they can pay some taxes in five years but why would I encourage anybody to have 1.00

00:53:14.180 children especially if they expedite their enfranchisement either under the british 1.00

00:53:17.400 nationality act that allows commonwealth citizens to vote or they give them my alarm

00:53:20.960 expedient path to citizenship and they just vote for you because you're giving them money

00:53:24.480 yeah so so the implications of the so something as simple as an ons statement saying oh yeah by

00:53:29.700 the way um yeah deaths exceed births it might seem innocuous at first it might seem like oh

00:53:34.920 that's that's an interesting number but the implications of this are incredibly powerful

00:53:39.220 when you start looking through it um oh bugger i've done it again um samson it's gone link

00:53:45.400 limp can you make it big make it big do the work there we go that's exactly what we needed

00:53:52.420 right so um people are going to say well okay well when is this going to crash

00:53:57.520 and the answer is i don't have a bloody clue it could be next week uh it could be 2040 but if i

00:54:04.680 had to put a central estimate on it i'd say 2035 the big crash is coming so for whoever inherits

00:54:11.460 the next government yes they've got a fiscal time bomb awaiting them and so making making

00:54:17.740 promises on present economic presumptions for example the ability to maintain the triple lock

00:54:22.940 is just a fool's errand oh the triple lock is just unaffordable it's just completely unaffordable

00:54:27.360 uh and so i've laid out here you know i i've i've put down 2035 i'd be surprised if it's longer than

00:54:33.400 that it could be shorter than that but here's a realistic timetable for what it uh you know what

00:54:38.100 this would actually look like and it would be in the early 2030s markets no longer believe rates

00:54:42.380 start to spike there's some sort of trigger i don't know what it is a war a pandemic some other

00:54:48.180 things some something will happen um and in early 25 i'm saying i thought nothing ever happens though

00:54:53.920 well some something will i'm predicting something will happen i don't know what it is each each time

00:54:59.480 these crises have a different trigger event that gets recorded in history as the thing something

00:55:03.440 will happen guilt yields will spike and sterling will fall simultaneously the bank of england will

00:55:08.300 be pushed into a situation defending the pound or financing the government um you'll probably try and

00:55:13.320 finance the government for a while and then just realize it can't do it the pound is being turned

00:55:17.400 into toilet paper and our energy supplies are getting cut off our food supplies are getting

00:55:21.500 cut off and there will have to be an emergency budget pensions will have to go lower ages on

00:55:27.340 pensions grow high dramatic spending cuts nhs rationing rationing all services removed

00:55:31.860 and either um you know we formally default on our debt and just say yeah that that those trillions

00:55:39.400 they're never getting paid back we could do that or we default on the post-war social contract one

00:55:45.620 of those is a mathematical certainty maybe both or both yeah or both more likely both actually

00:55:53.340 um and what it looks like on the other side is economically um england or britain will look

00:56:01.260 like poland did 20 years ago and that's the optimistic case uh the less optimistic cases

00:56:06.580 we look like pakistan well that's more likely one yes it's the reason poland looked like poland 20

00:56:11.920 years ago is because it's for the polish people and we have pakistanis and somalis well i thought

00:56:15.520 of that or what if we got a government with uh the bulls to re-migrate the 10 maybe 20 million 0.77

00:56:22.420 people that are here that shouldn't be close the borders not one more visa and then cut spending

00:56:28.500 massively until the books are balanced funny you said that what about that because because that

00:56:34.420 that that did occur to me oh okay how how to prevent it now i've color coded this to make it

00:56:41.820 easy um but and this is not by far not the most radical thing is not is not what bows britain

00:56:49.980 would do what i tried to do here is something which the um liberal state that we have could

00:56:55.800 potentially get its head around i mean i don't think labor would actually do this but rupert

00:57:01.640 lo might and we'd like to think that nigel farage would do would do some of this stuff so i mean

00:57:07.020 we'll see now convert all of the migrants into guest workers with with net contributions as a

00:57:13.260 minimum that's that seems to be zeer yusuf's idea already and if they fail to then what then you

00:57:20.100 deport them yeah you just go yeah if you're not a net contributor you're gone okay yeah so all i'm

00:57:24.500 saying there is basically just just do what the the arab states do what the uae does that's what

00:57:29.360 they've modeled their guest worker visa on it's a it's a minimum threshold it's a temporary worker

00:57:33.520 visa that needs to be um reimbursed the complete abolition of ilr and they can just deport you

00:57:37.900 any time and you have a lifelong inability to access welfare benefits yeah because that way 1.00

00:57:44.200 you can say okay well fine I mean I you know I know a lot of migrants are just absolute waste 1.00

00:57:50.060 but some of them actually do good stuff some of them do actually work for the NHS or do some 1.00

00:57:53.680 other stuff we can say fine okay well you can work here but the moment you hit retirement age

00:57:58.120 you're gone the moment you lose a job you're gone just just do what a normal country does 0.64

00:58:02.920 like the UAE does at the moment so I mean that's fairly easy and also tax remittances 0.85

00:58:08.220 Yes, and tax remittances.

00:58:10.000 The ones in purple...

00:58:11.000 I would end remittances.

00:58:12.720 Well, you're just sending wealth out of our country.

00:58:14.600 Yeah, it's hard to do logistically, though.

00:58:17.260 With capital controls, that would be tricky.

00:58:18.760 Because it's just basically like banks' transfers.

00:58:20.380 You can still do that, right?

00:58:23.120 And people will do it with crypto.

00:58:25.240 Yeah, that's all right.

00:58:25.960 There'll be ways around it still.

00:58:27.460 So it's easier to tax it than it is to try and abolish it,

00:58:30.640 which we just got around anyway.

00:58:32.120 So, yeah.

00:58:32.720 um the things in purple all of these are things that i believe are a certainty to happen

00:58:41.160 or electoral poison yes but you either wait for the crisis and then you do all the things in

00:58:47.880 purple or be bold now or yeah or you can control it now and do it and so what i'm saying are things

00:58:53.000 like radically cut welfare entitlement i mean it's ridiculous that apparently was it 25 of the

00:58:58.040 uk population are now apparently disabled working age population yeah working age population 0.88

00:59:02.280 one in four people is apparently disabled bollocks bollocks so radically cut welfare 0.98

00:59:07.940 entitlement um increased pension age and lower repayments and obviously the triple lock is gone 1.00

00:59:13.380 the pension when it came in was set at something like five years higher than life expectancy

00:59:19.220 and it was a very low amount it needs to go back to something like that um nhs fees because the

00:59:26.560 because that's the big free welfare pensions and nhs they are the big free spending items

00:59:30.680 and and i completely sympathize with people who say oh you just need to uh deport all of the 0.80

00:59:35.640 um immigrants on welfare honestly you you could do all of that and it doesn't dent it you know

00:59:40.640 you have to tackle the big three you're more prosperous but you're only going to delay the 1.00

00:59:44.780 collapse yes yeah it'll make you make you feel better to an extent but you have to tackle the

00:59:49.060 big three there's no way around that uh cutting on essential vanity spending like i say all of

00:59:53.360 those will happen after the crash or a government can can decide okay no actually i want to take

01:00:00.160 charge of this process and i want to do it myself now the way that i want to do it and smooth it in

01:00:04.620 anything that could be plausibly categorized by soft power of someone like jeremy hunt

01:00:08.780 you don't need to spend money on it yes it's a boondoggle yes all of that um and then i've got

01:00:15.340 the golden stuff at the bottom which is how to pay for it no this this this is actually i i don't i

01:00:20.900 don't think and unless we get like a rupert low government next week burnham calls an election

01:00:26.860 we get we get this next week i think the the going down into the crash is almost inevitable

01:00:31.900 it's almost baked in at this point but can you turn it around can you come up the other side

01:00:36.240 you know you've all seen movies where the plane or the glide or the spaceship or whatever the

01:00:40.180 hell it is it's going down like that and then at the last minute it swerves up and it you know it's

01:00:44.720 fine you need to do the things at the bottom massive energy build out massive home build out

01:00:48.980 planning rules scrap so that needs to be things like instead of oh we want a nuclear power station

01:00:54.120 so we can have cheap energy but we need to spend 30 years in planning and consultation the secretary

01:00:59.740 of state just says yeah i'm approved it that's it it's done we're working with the south koreans

01:01:03.540 and the japanese on small modular reactors we'll have one together in 10 years and we'll use a

01:01:06.800 tariff to fund it yeah i've approved that site that site and that side and and then because i've said

01:01:11.680 it no question you're not having a consultation you're not having appeals you're not having any

01:01:17.200 of it it's just getting done and the same with home building um massive home building if we're

01:01:22.880 going to make homes cheap for young people fund cheap homes for new parents um so a number of

01:01:29.480 ways you could do that but it could be okay well if you're if you're under 30 and you've got a kid

01:01:34.240 on the way or you've got small children um you qualify for an incredibly cheap loan or just 35

01:01:40.280 years scrap stamp duty stop stop uh get rid of the countryside town planning act that was passed all

01:01:45.220 of that in the 30s that made you build only little dino boxes and health and safety regs and all that

01:01:49.180 and then stop with the human battery farms that are being knocked up everywhere with giant flats

01:01:52.780 instead. Build actual

01:01:54.900 family homes instead. I mean, I would look

01:01:56.800 at everything you can do for basically

01:01:58.600 for new parents. This is, I mean,

01:02:01.040 weirdly enough though, this is the

01:02:02.340 easiest stuff to do.

01:02:04.860 When you get into government, if you 1.00

01:02:07.060 remove, if you liquidate the quangos 0.98

01:02:08.980 and you sack a bunch of civil servants, which

01:02:10.940 to be fair to reform,

01:02:13.040 critical though we are of them,

01:02:14.360 that is their express policy and they've already drafted the bills to do that

01:02:17.020 so they're going to do that, then this is the

01:02:18.860 nuts and bolts stuff that any department can do.

01:02:20.560 All of my stuff at the bottom is basically removing government getting in its own way.

01:02:24.080 Yeah, exactly.

01:02:25.080 It's just taking their own rulebook away. 0.96

01:02:27.120 I would encourage intergenerational families as the main pension.

01:02:29.840 So rather than relying on, okay, well, you're going to retire 0.93

01:02:33.420 and then you're going to live in a massive five-bed house,

01:02:35.880 and then your grandchildren will come and visit you from their little box flat,

01:02:40.040 as you talked about.

01:02:40.680 You can live in bedroom five on the ground floor with your kids and grandkids.

01:02:45.420 Yes.

01:02:46.160 Encourage intergenerational families.

01:02:47.640 Again, a whole bunch of ways you could do that.

01:02:49.060 you could say to the old people um we make it very tax advantageous and very appealing for you 0.99

01:02:54.940 to gift your house over to your children and you can live with them and and also the other thing 0.99

01:02:59.460 is is is you've already mentioned you've you've um seen seen ahead a lot of this that i've been

01:03:04.740 talking about stop building those little dino boxes go back to building family homes it's one

01:03:09.320 that one of the most insane regulations that i keep seeing are the tiny windows they've made it

01:03:12.960 so that you could those are energy regs yeah yeah but it's also the health and safety regulation to

01:03:18.180 say a single elderly woman living on her own should be able to open this window and not fall 0.99

01:03:21.860 out of it even on the ground floor and that's why there are hideous tiny sparse little windows all 1.00

01:03:26.640 over these new dino boxes so just scrap all of that yeah but what we need is we need intergenerational 0.98

01:03:32.540 families to be the pension not living on your own in a massive house it's that is ridiculous

01:03:40.780 and also just remove most of the anti-business regulation again everything in gold as you as

01:03:45.680 you'll correctly say the government could do it very easily because you don't you don't need to 0.71

01:03:51.900 do anything i mean okay the massive energy builder if you just remove your rules the koreans will

01:03:57.340 come over and build the power stations for you it means we get to do more business with the koreans

01:04:00.560 and the japanese which are countries we actually like yes you do some sort of great repeal act

01:04:04.620 where you do it all in one act just with a stroke of a pen climate change act bin it off yep 300

01:04:10.960 odd MPs. One act. Boom. Done. So David Cameron talked about doing that in 2010 and then bottled

01:04:16.680 it when he came in. They've already started drafting them. So the Prosperity Institute

01:04:19.700 has already got draft bills on its website. They get rid of a bunch of hate speech legislation.

01:04:23.280 It doesn't go as far as the free speech bill that you actually, I think, spoke about on your

01:04:26.180 Brokonomics episode. They should adopt that instead. Getting rid of the Equality Act,

01:04:29.640 the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act, which puts civil service code into law and basically 1.00

01:04:33.080 means that quangos and civil servants run the government. That's going to go. They're already 1.00

01:04:36.360 drafting the actual bills that you could just pass on day one. So people are thinking about this.

01:04:39.960 so then i'm just going to end it here now but i will just say look this gives us two futures

01:04:45.840 the stuff in purple is going to happen anyway so if you do the stuff in purple but you don't do

01:04:51.760 the stuff in blue basically we're going to go into that crash and we're just going to stay there

01:04:56.420 we're just going to be pakistan forever if the stuff in purple happens anyway or better yet is

01:05:01.600 that you do it at your own pace as you want to over the next 10 years and you do the stuff at 0.93

01:05:07.620 the bottom um i think the 2040s could be a golden age so i can see us coming out the other side of

01:05:14.760 this really nicely if we do what's necessary but if we don't do what's necessary we become a colony 0.67

01:05:20.980 of pakistan wait a bit there there's a couple of rumble rants do you want to do these down

01:05:26.740 as they pertain to your segment there's a bunch actually oh good right um i might have to skip

01:05:32.800 the cheapest ones but i'll do um z tonto britain needs britain demands dan tub mp

01:05:39.320 chancellor the exchequer um you know if i don't really want to be an mp but if if asked i suppose

01:05:45.540 i would uh he also says i purchased a new copy of ireland a good man and my success with the

01:05:50.080 opposite immediately increased yes it is like axe body spray or no what do they call it in this

01:05:54.380 kind of links links body spray it's basically that just wafted around and fanny sticks um

01:06:01.220 that's a random name says uh look how we're treated when we're majority uh look how whites

01:06:06.200 are treated when they are minority rhodesia south africa uh 2029 would be the election

01:06:11.020 that defines this century yes well i'm saying you got until 2035 before it's just terminal

01:06:16.000 um but yes 2029 would be by far the best option um based ape says uh let's crash the country

01:06:24.840 intentionally disavow yeah these will flee when there's nothing left to steal yeah the problem 0.83

01:06:30.460 with the south africanism is is that south africa just keeps getting more south africa and that

01:06:34.620 also presumes a level of like self-consciousness that you have for these people and they don't they

01:06:40.660 they will live they will live in the ruins of your civilization like an elephant graveyard and 0.95

01:06:43.820 they won't think twice about it yeah it's still way better than rural bangladesh yes the ruins 0.79

01:06:48.800 of england is still way better than that so yeah i'm not an accelerationist i i don't agree with

01:06:53.320 that there are still liberals in south africa and that's random name says our illegitimate

01:06:57.920 illegitimate rulers have ensured that our nations are dependent on external entities for food

01:07:03.320 electricity etc yeah so that's my point about when gilts crash and sterling crashes you've basically

01:07:10.560 got no choice at that point because otherwise we won't get the power and food coming in so

01:07:14.860 they've made us dependent but that's also that's also kind of giving us our out at some future

01:07:20.160 point all right okay get uh should we get the yeah samson change the slides mind yeah okay

01:07:30.600 all right sir bear me one second all right gentlemen i believe we do need to talk about

01:07:39.280 the ongoing war in persia as we haven't talked about it that much i'd forgotten about it yeah

01:07:45.020 there's been a bit of sort of iran war fatigue hasn't there i noticed two three weeks ago making

01:07:51.600 content as i do for a living on here and state of politics notice that the videos don't people

01:07:56.880 don't really seem to be clicking on them as much as they used to they don't seem to care they're a

01:08:00.780 bit yeah actual fatigue with the cycles of with the irgc the iranian regime and and it's funny

01:08:08.540 because i never got bored of the iraq war the first one and the second one proper war when

01:08:13.140 in the second war it's like because there wasn't constant running commentary and cameras everywhere

01:08:18.580 and it wasn't like the 24-hour news cycle yes and and the and the ukraine war i got bored of that in

01:08:23.880 a year and then this i kind of got bored of it in about three months it's getting a bit like when

01:08:27.860 the crusty crab is open 24 hours and nobody has a break and they bring a bell every time there's

01:08:32.600 another consecutive day and everyone is just exhausted of it not working well in the last

01:08:38.620 11 days or so everything does seem to have changed you know there's the nothing ever happens crew

01:08:44.700 or uh trump always chickens out what do they call that was taco taco there's a taco crew

01:08:50.360 well about 11 days ago trump did decide to sort of take the gloves off again he to give him credit

01:08:57.700 it does seem like he's tried to do nearly everything he can wasn't there to force

01:09:03.940 there's a memorandum of understanding.

01:09:07.120 Which was a prerequisite to a peace deal,

01:09:08.860 but basically nobody agreed on the memorandum

01:09:10.780 and nobody understood it, so therefore it's not right.

01:09:12.480 So basically they exchanged emails and that was it,

01:09:14.980 and then it's back to war, is it?

01:09:15.920 There was a series of conditions that both sides represented

01:09:19.340 the other as agreeing with, but the conditions weren't the same.

01:09:22.300 So the Uranians said that the Americans had agreed

01:09:24.360 to allow them to enrich uranium, basically past the point

01:09:27.340 that they would need for domestic nuclear power,

01:09:30.660 and that they would call a ceasefire in Lebanon,

01:09:32.820 which Israel was never going to retreat to,

01:09:34.300 and that they would have complete control

01:09:35.500 over the Strait of Hormuz

01:09:36.280 and they could levy a toll.

01:09:38.600 And Israel was just going to back off a bit. 0.53

01:09:40.840 Yeah, and that was the first condition.

01:09:42.460 And of course, that was immediately violated 0.80

01:09:43.920 because the Israelis started bombing Lebanon again.

01:09:45.720 So you were never going to get...

01:09:46.780 If you have another theatre in the conflict

01:09:48.460 having a ceasefire as a prerequisite

01:09:51.780 to the ceasefire in another conflict,

01:09:53.940 then it's unlikely that's ever going to be secured.

01:09:56.480 So there's three main sticking points.

01:09:57.780 There was the whole Lebanon proxy thing, Hezbollah.

01:10:01.360 there was the Straits of Hormuz

01:10:03.560 where the United States and Israel

01:10:05.920 are insisting, particularly the United States and the Donald

01:10:07.760 and the State Department, insisting that it

01:10:09.960 be free and open for all

01:10:11.720 movement of maritime traffic

01:10:13.620 as it was before the war started

01:10:15.060 and Iran are just insisting that

01:10:17.860 that's not going to be the case going forward

01:10:19.220 because now that America have shown

01:10:21.820 that they can't force Iran to keep the

01:10:23.800 strait open and so they've said well hang on a minute

01:10:25.900 if we can stick mines in it and

01:10:27.780 fly cheap drones at the ships and therefore

01:10:29.740 make money doing it why wouldn't we and that seems so obvious if you if don't think if you're an

01:10:34.680 american don't think about it as an american think about it if you were an iranian why would you ever

01:10:38.760 give that up well yeah iran are now just sort of absolutely insisting that they have complete

01:10:43.780 sovereignty over the straits so the first one the whole proxy issue second one the straits issue

01:10:50.320 and the third one nuclear weapons whether iran will give up their right to what they say is

01:10:58.600 their rights to enrich uranium to a weapons-grade degree.

01:11:02.840 I mean, it's been on the table for years,

01:11:04.660 and I do mean years and years and years,

01:11:05.860 that Russia said, look, Iran,

01:11:07.580 if you need enriched uranium for hospital machinery and such,

01:11:12.220 are you nowhere near 90%, sort of 30%, 40%,

01:11:14.760 we'll just give you that.

01:11:15.620 We've got a whole industry that does that.

01:11:17.080 If that's what you really need it for,

01:11:18.580 we'll just sell that to you, the IAEA or whoever can watch it all,

01:11:23.000 and problem solved, right?

01:11:24.380 Right, guys?

01:11:25.280 and iran voice said no we in we insist on the right to enrich uranium to whatever degree we

01:11:31.340 please and again from their perspective i can't blame them because there isn't a war in north

01:11:35.420 korea well also yes and also now they've got the additional incentive because they think that the

01:11:42.080 americans don't have the power to stop them from doing it but they do know that america and israel

01:11:46.480 has nukes and that they have the intent to try and stop them from doing it so the only um sufficient

01:11:50.780 safeguard against a regime change war which it was marketed from as from the very opening of the

01:11:56.220 war would be a nuclear weapon and this means then that nuclear proliferation is going to be more

01:12:01.000 likely in the region especially considering as well the israelis are now eyeing out the turks

01:12:04.720 and so it means a bunch of like other states might turn around to i don't know like pakistan

01:12:08.960 and say oh can we buy one off the shelf from you maybe maybe so the three big sticking points are

01:12:14.120 the question of the proxies, the question of the straight

01:12:17.480 and the question of nukes.

01:12:20.660 Okay, so that memorandum of understanding was doomed to fail, I think.

01:12:28.380 Well, and it has now because about 11 days ago,

01:12:31.000 despite all the carrots and sticks that Trump and Hexeth and Rubio have tried,

01:12:36.940 both carrot and stick, it all seems to have failed

01:12:39.680 and they've gone back to bombing each other.

01:12:42.320 So last night was the 11th straight night in a row where they're exchanging ordnance.

01:12:49.280 There's been a few deaths from US service people, some in Jordan, for example, some in Kuwait, I believe.

01:12:59.140 Iran has been hitting Kuwait and Bahrain particularly hard.

01:13:03.120 And America has been, well, CENTCOM has been bombing all over Iran for 11 days straight. 0.81

01:13:09.160 And there doesn't seem to be any let up on it.

01:13:10.740 trump sort of saying making noises like oh no this is this is it now i can't trust them i don't trust

01:13:16.000 them they're psychos uh and so okay that's what's happening now so the war is back on it's almost at

01:13:22.660 the intensity that it was back in march at the beginning didn't didn't trump suggest as well

01:13:27.420 that he might be willing to target civilian infrastructure well that has begun yes that has

01:13:31.200 begun so last few nights they're bombing some bridges and things so the the great threat is

01:13:36.280 of course attacking not just the energy infrastructure in the region but it's also

01:13:40.000 like the Gulf's desalination plants, which make the region habitable

01:13:43.580 because if you don't have fresh drinking water, you can't live in a desert. 0.99

01:13:46.260 Well, Iran's already been doing that to its neighbours. 0.85

01:13:49.440 Just a few days ago, they hit a Kuwaiti desalination plant.

01:13:53.100 They've done it to Bahrain and what's the other really big island there

01:14:00.180 just off of Saudi?

01:14:03.460 Qatar.

01:14:06.140 So...

01:14:06.660 I sense they're still holding back a lot, though.

01:14:08.840 I mean, on both sides.

01:14:09.620 Yeah, they are.

01:14:10.560 The US could take out their entire power supply

01:14:13.840 and they haven't done it. 0.74

01:14:14.860 And Iran could take out all of the region's desalination plants

01:14:18.200 and they haven't done it.

01:14:19.500 So it's kind of a weird war where they're just like

01:14:22.460 punching each other, but only a bit.

01:14:24.760 One thing I'd say about that, I think you're right,

01:14:26.500 both sides are still holding back to some degree.

01:14:28.040 On the Iranian side, we don't know,

01:14:30.360 we don't seem to know exactly how big their stockpiles still are.

01:14:34.840 We were told within a few days in early March

01:14:37.960 that they haven't really got anything left.

01:14:40.020 That's just not the case, is it?

01:14:41.260 It's just not the case.

01:14:42.080 All I know is that all the propaganda that I've been told

01:14:45.080 from the Allies' side has turned out to be wrong.

01:14:48.000 And if the Americans wanted to take the gloves off

01:14:50.160 and drop tactical nukes or something, they could do that, couldn't they?

01:14:53.480 If they wanted to mobilise armoured divisions like 2003,

01:14:58.580 get the big red one going, drop all their airborne divisions inside Iran, 0.64

01:15:03.940 They wanted to do day and night air campaigns 24-7 against Iran. 0.87

01:15:12.940 They could do that, right? 0.98

01:15:13.620 They could take the gloves off and do that.

01:15:15.340 Are you possessed by the ghost of Lindsey Graham right now?

01:15:17.500 I'm not saying that's what I want.

01:15:19.280 I'm saying that's what America could do.

01:15:20.740 That is an option, isn't it?

01:15:21.940 If the planners in the Pentagon somehow decided they did have an appetite

01:15:25.520 for a 2003-style invasion, America's got the materiel.

01:15:30.300 That's what I'm trying to say.

01:15:31.220 If they wanted to.

01:15:32.660 I'm not saying I want that.

01:15:34.360 Just building on Dan's point that both sides are still,

01:15:37.080 haven't taken the gloves off entirely.

01:15:39.680 But, okay, so over the last 11 nights,

01:15:43.520 America has been bombing all parts of Iran, really.

01:15:49.260 And so the war is back on. 0.91

01:15:50.540 I just think it's worth bringing to people's attention

01:15:52.540 because a lot of people, because of that fatigue I talked about,

01:15:56.000 are just not really seem to be paying much attention to it.

01:15:58.920 i mean this is actually from oh this is a financial times article um just saying that uh that it's

01:16:07.220 all going on and uh there's all sorts of uh you know trump warns iran will pay many times over

01:16:13.440 for deaths of u.s soldiers every time one or two or three u.s personnel are killed um trump says

01:16:22.000 they're going to hit them harder and harder and harder.

01:16:25.440 Right.

01:16:26.160 Whether, you know, it boils down to this, doesn't it? 0.63

01:16:30.920 Can the Iranian regime hold on longer than, like,

01:16:36.020 what, Trump's entire remaining presidency? 0.88

01:16:39.240 Can they hold on for another two years?

01:16:42.240 Probably. 0.93

01:16:42.540 Short of the Donald and Hegseth doing a full invasion

01:16:46.820 and tank divisions rolling into Tehran,

01:16:50.100 doing thunder runs through the middle of Tehran.

01:16:52.060 Short of that, can they hold on that long? 0.76

01:16:54.240 We've seen what their appetite for punishment is like in the Iran-Iraq war. 0.81

01:16:57.880 They can take a hell of a lot of punishment. 0.84

01:16:59.780 It does seem to be their strategy, doesn't it?

01:17:01.680 They will keep punching back and ignore the amount of punishment they're taking.

01:17:07.280 Somehow ignore it.

01:17:10.120 Now, this is from CENTCOM.

01:17:11.640 Maybe we could turn the...

01:17:13.580 We'll just have this on in the background while we're talking.

01:17:16.000 um yeah so america are spending a lot of money on it so far um hegseth went uh in front of a

01:17:25.160 committee just the other day and saying that so far the bill is something like 37 and a half

01:17:29.380 billion dollars what do you think that costs that plane i don't know i don't know what it is if it

01:17:34.400 was a if that was a somebody in the chat if i had to guess i don't know does that cost 300 million

01:17:40.260 something like that off the top of my head well and then what is it what does an iranian drone

01:17:44.560 cost like a few grand yeah maybe maybe 30 grand if it's a bit fancy so you can see the imbalance

01:17:50.460 but yeah u.s has got more money and they've got more jets but 300 million against 30 grand

01:17:56.740 despite that imbalance despite that iran is it is heavily degraded there's no doubt about that

01:18:05.240 its economy is a complete joke it was how it was suffering from hyperinflation before this even

01:18:10.880 started so iran's economy and military is not much and america has got near bottomless pockets

01:18:20.900 it has got an insane amount of material the u.s navy alone will dominate all the other world's

01:18:27.880 navies the u.s air force just the the flying wing of the u.s marine corps is gigantic yeah they've

01:18:34.640 got they've got a big military but i mean it is cost that's my point the asymmetry in the cost

01:18:39.520 is enormous and in political cost because they have to deal about that's the main thing yes

01:18:43.540 and presidential elections whereas i think the actual money cost to america i mean 30 billion

01:18:49.380 no the asymmetry in the willingness to take casualties is also that is that and also their

01:18:54.940 equipment can be a liability in just in terms of size deployment maneuverability as you say

01:19:00.660 compared to the drones because i think what was it you know you uh us abraham lincoln in the early

01:19:04.460 days of the war had to be had to be taken offline or taken away for repairs and they said it was

01:19:11.340 like a fire in the laundry room or something yeah really you don't believe that fire and no okay i

01:19:17.480 don't well a fire in the laundry room did that much damage at the start of the war when it's

01:19:21.220 basically a giant floating target i'm very skeptical especially with the communications

01:19:24.600 about the uh what was it downed helicopter and they claimed they had to get and and and after

01:19:28.940 that the uh the naval group basically pulled back and maintained a a really wide distance it's like

01:19:34.280 yeah was it really long it's a giant target to be pelted with loads of drones i think churchill said

01:19:39.620 the first casualty in war is the truth yeah i think that's an axiom that's actually goes back

01:19:44.380 to the ancient world one way or another you could rephrase it um but um yeah the i do think it's

01:19:50.840 less about money because america has got near near bottomless pockets it's it's budget its

01:19:58.080 military budget is insane insane um uh but it's about the political will can trump i suppose it

01:20:07.860 boils down to this i suppose it really does boil down to this um can uh the united states remove

01:20:16.380 the iranian regime with just an air campaign or do they will they have to have boots on the ground

01:20:23.760 at some point to do it.

01:20:25.480 Well, your historian, has there ever been a case

01:20:27.920 of an air campaign alone winning a war?

01:20:30.760 Which one?

01:20:31.480 Yeah, well, you might need a few special forces

01:20:33.500 in the final reckoning.

01:20:34.980 But yeah, I mean, Afghanistan in 2001

01:20:36.720 was largely just an air campaign.

01:20:38.720 The war against Serbia, it was. 0.54

01:20:41.500 It was.

01:20:42.140 There's a small number of guys in the end, 0.97

01:20:44.220 but Afghanistan and Iran are a completely different kettle of fish.

01:20:48.740 Lots of soldiers were deployed on the ground in Afghanistan.

01:20:51.440 Well, afterwards, to occupy it, yeah.

01:20:53.760 you're talking about the initial shock and awe campaign

01:20:57.800 the war against serbia in the 90s was largely a nato air campaign

01:21:01.960 it's not an air campaign but it is bombardment a bombing of zanzibar i've

01:21:05.440 got him to surrender within 40 minutes yeah it's a good example yeah but of

01:21:09.700 course but of course iran is a giant prospect

01:21:15.560 it's a giant prospect i'm only playing devil's advocate because i would agree

01:21:19.860 that no you can't change that regime without boots on the ground

01:21:22.400 so it's only for a moment we were talking about this before we came on it doesn't seem likely

01:21:26.720 i'm fundamentally far more pessimistic than you are that a boots on the ground campaign can be

01:21:32.240 won because my point of view is that ron is a fortress made out of mountains lots of mountain

01:21:36.720 passes they have been preparing for 40 years they will have their dugout positions they know what

01:21:42.620 they're going to do and america lost lots of people in the scattered bits of the hills of

01:21:48.220 iraq when you're trying to invade a country like iran i think they would have to be willing to lose

01:21:53.720 a horrendous amount of people and the amount of people they would need to be prepared to lose is

01:21:58.820 well above their political ability to lose people just talking hypothetically because at the moment

01:22:03.420 the pentagon hasn't got an appetite for boots on the ground i would actually argue against that

01:22:06.880 i would say the one thing that the united states military does brilliantly is dominating a

01:22:13.240 battlefield in the first instance that it does that to an unbelievable degree i think they can

01:22:18.440 dominate southern iran but getting to tehran getting going thousands of miles through mountains

01:22:23.080 to tehran i think that is a hell of a job i think apache gunships pick off anything they want without

01:22:28.540 any return and i think they've had 40 years to build their dug-in positions and the the apaches

01:22:33.280 won't see them really yeah i think you're highly mistaken sir if you've got mountains and you've

01:22:38.800 had 40 years to prepare your positions it's not going to be like afghanistan with a dude on a hill

01:22:45.220 just going spraying like that and apache comes over basically is though no i think i think i

01:22:51.320 think they will have dug out position they have been preparing for it for 40 years an f22 versus

01:22:56.480 a dug out position it's no contest but they're not going to put them on google maps they're not

01:23:00.680 going to say where they are i don't know i know i severely doubt if you look at 2003 um every

01:23:09.200 everything failed to stop that armored advance in 2003 everything yeah it wasn't just a billiard

01:23:17.560 ball style a ball style i just think you underestimate it's not that um the united

01:23:24.380 states are particularly good at winning hearts and minds or winning the peace or an occupation 0.66

01:23:27.620 but in killing you on the battlefield they're unbelievably efficient at that unbelievably

01:23:36.240 the second there's a heat signature of a human that's it you're gone it's but anyway it's all

01:23:42.700 hypothetical because apparently there's no appetite on the ground i can't remember what

01:23:46.880 the casualties in iraq were but they were still reasonably high and i just think it would be much

01:23:51.120 much higher than iran just to split the difference um occupation would probably fail but what i think

01:23:55.840 both saying is they could turn it into a disorganized statelet whether or not that would

01:23:59.720 be a great idea to leave in such a thing that doesn't open the straight and four moves either

01:24:04.140 because okay now you've got um local warlords well they're just closing straight and then the

01:24:08.100 other the other sea sea passage i forget what it's called but it's also just been shut down

01:24:12.460 by the houthis as well and dab whatever it is bless you um and so now that might be another

01:24:16.860 another uh bab al-mandab that's that's it yeah um it might be another theater in the war which

01:24:24.060 might suck the Saudis in as well so maybe i mean all of it all of that discussion there is all a

01:24:29.300 bit uh speculative speculative because it seems that uh the white house the state department and 0.86

01:24:35.760 the pentagon aren't going to put boots on the ground i think you'd be insane maybe maybe but

01:24:42.640 they don't seem to want to do that so can the iranian regime just hold on for like a couple

01:24:47.820 of years and then there'll be a new president and then who knows what at that point it might

01:24:52.640 be a president it might be rubio himself who knows who's like yeah no we're continuing this

01:24:56.900 for as long as it takes all that stuff that might be aoc and she's like just stops everything i mean

01:25:02.760 there's lots of american wars where that happens new guy comes in and they change tax yeah right

01:25:06.840 yeah also perhaps this could be very naive obviously because rubio is uh has been an

01:25:12.380 ardent zionist but i would be surprised if he did actually continue it because his team are very much

01:25:16.520 against it and if you remember in the early days of the war he was the one that came out and said 0.79

01:25:19.600 look we didn't really want to do this but we got dragged into it because the israelis

01:25:22.400 And then in the leaked briefing of the original plan that was pitched to Trump by Netanyahu

01:25:30.640 in person, and then the head of Mossad zooming in, it was the director of the CIA, J.D. 0.99

01:25:35.720 Vaughn and Rubio, who all turned to the president and said, sorry, Mr. President, this is bullshit. 0.98

01:25:39.720 Like, they're giving you too rosier picture. They said that the Iraqi Kurds are going to 0.98

01:25:43.320 invade from the north, that the people are going to rise up, and they're going to celebrate

01:25:46.960 us as liberators. It's not going to happen. So I would be surprised if any of the presidential

01:25:52.160 candidates were gung-ho on this other than Ted Cruz. You mentioned Rubio might not be

01:25:58.020 prepared. I think J.D. Vance as well, wasn't he? Very, very lukewarm. He was one of the ones that

01:26:03.080 he's on record at this point. And I really don't think he's going to be Ted Cruz at the next

01:26:06.820 election. No, but he's going to be the only one on stage arguing for it. But Vance placed himself

01:26:11.780 strategically in the peace process so that he didn't have to own the war, essentially. Because

01:26:16.860 Trump launched it and Vance, knowing that he's the VP, would have to own it as the apologist

01:26:21.540 for the president. But if he were to secure the Memorandum of Understanding translating

01:26:24.660 into a peace deal, which is why he kept going to Switzerland, Qatar, all these places, then

01:26:28.180 he would be able to claim victory for it on the presidential stage. And unfortunately

01:26:30.740 for him, that's fallen through. 0.83

01:26:32.220 The thing is, unless you go to the Israelis first and get them to sign a Memorandum of 0.85

01:26:35.960 Understanding, there's no point then going to the Iranians. 0.91

01:26:39.540 This is what, this is, everyone should go and subscribe to Rory's Substack, author of

01:26:43.520 Islander, but also excellent Substack, because he's written two very interesting pieces on

01:26:46.900 basically the function of Tucker Carlson in all of this. And he thinks that Tucker Carlson's

01:26:50.000 proximity to the likes of JD Vance, Peter Thiel, and Joe Kent, and the CIA connections, represents

01:26:54.600 a kind of intelligence counter gang that's feeding him sources, which is trying to judo-flip the

01:26:59.020 Iran war into renegotiating relationships with Israel. So withdrawing the special memorandum

01:27:05.760 that gives them funding, turning them essentially into a stationary aircraft carrier in the region

01:27:10.020 rather than their sort of primary focus, so they can shift away to China, to other priorities.

01:27:14.420 And I wouldn't be shocked if that's the case. If they're saying, essentially, look, they go to

01:27:18.260 Trump would say, Mr. President, we've tried and tried and tried to make peace here, but Israel 0.76

01:27:21.220 is the liability here because it's not coming to the table, it's not holding off on Lebanon to give 0.95

01:27:24.920 us... This is like Trump last year in the 12-day war, when he came out to the press and he said,

01:27:29.940 Israel and Iran don't know what the F they're doing. So I wouldn't be shocked if essentially

01:27:33.120 Vance's faction is trying to do that, is trying to pin this on the Israelis to renegotiate American

01:27:38.560 foreign policy away from... I mean, alternatively, they've got a massive air force base in Oman,

01:27:45.260 just expand that and just say to Israel, 0.60

01:27:47.500 yeah, you're on your own now.

01:27:48.260 And that's why they're friendly with the Qataris.

01:27:49.780 Tarkov's friendly with the Qataris.

01:27:51.620 Trump took a jet from the Qataris.

01:27:52.940 They're trying to butter up other regional partners.

01:27:55.140 Yeah.

01:27:55.560 They don't actually need Israel. 0.98

01:27:57.420 So there's loads more to say, 0.97

01:27:58.520 but we've basically run out of time there.

01:28:00.360 One last thing I'll quickly mention is the last big,

01:28:04.920 what do they call it?

01:28:05.880 The pickaxe mountain.

01:28:08.820 Yes.

01:28:09.060 Pickaxe mountain where the US are saying that Iran

01:28:12.600 are going to try and restart or have even restarted their centrifuges

01:28:16.800 and America needs to attack Pickaxe Mountain soon.

01:28:21.220 So what am I looking at here? What is that?

01:28:22.580 That is, I believe, Pickaxe Mountain,

01:28:24.360 the facility deep, deep under that mountain.

01:28:26.720 I can't get a sense of scale on this.

01:28:28.460 Yeah, it's difficult to, isn't it?

01:28:29.380 Is that a building or something or what?

01:28:30.840 I think that's just like a road, isn't it?

01:28:32.300 These are just roads.

01:28:33.360 Oh, is that a road?

01:28:34.140 It's like apparently a massive underground facility.

01:28:37.300 It'd be a sprawling complex.

01:28:38.840 Underground and deep, deep, deep underground.

01:28:41.260 Like the one at Fordo 0.99

01:28:42.120 they hit with the bunker buster.

01:28:43.080 Much deeper than that

01:28:44.100 where even bunker busters

01:28:45.060 won't get the job done.

01:28:46.140 Apparently that's the idea.

01:28:47.540 This is my point.

01:28:48.520 They're dug in,

01:28:49.300 40 years to dig in 1.00

01:28:50.600 and a little Apache. 1.00

01:28:52.000 You can't fly your little Apache down there

01:28:53.880 like Luke Skywalker 1.00

01:28:54.900 who will go... 1.00

01:28:55.940 You'd need more than an Apache 0.58

01:28:57.560 but you could use tactical nukes 0.86

01:29:00.260 if you wanted to.

01:29:01.220 Carpet bomb in the same spot

01:29:02.280 with 100 tactical nukes.

01:29:03.620 That would do the job, wouldn't it?

01:29:04.820 If they wanted to do that. 1.00

01:29:06.220 And then the old Pakistan 1.00

01:29:07.400 and Pakistan wanted India.

01:29:08.640 and this this also assumes that iran and every other potential enemy of the u.s doesn't have

01:29:16.060 thousands of sleeper cells that they got in across the southern border when joe biden left

01:29:20.620 the southern border and here and here yeah i just thought it was worth bringing to people's attention

01:29:25.820 that the war in persia is totally back on right now day 23 give it up for day 23

01:29:32.680 yeah it was meant to be

01:29:34.960 four or five weeks

01:29:35.620 we're now five months in

01:29:36.920 with no end

01:29:38.120 apparently in sight

01:29:39.140 so

01:29:39.700 as much as Mr. Trump

01:29:41.080 wanted to avoid

01:29:41.960 a forever war

01:29:42.840 yeah

01:29:44.660 he's plunged himself

01:29:45.560 into it hasn't he

01:29:46.100 both sides seem

01:29:46.900 completely intractable

01:29:48.220 in their like

01:29:48.840 red line demands

01:29:50.060 about nuclear enrichment

01:29:51.840 the Straits of Hormuz

01:29:52.640 and the proxies

01:29:53.600 in the region

01:29:54.160 okay there you go

01:29:56.500 that's the news

01:29:57.140 right

01:29:58.120 got any comments you like

01:29:59.080 comments

01:29:59.580 haven't got much time

01:30:00.960 but

01:30:01.200 it's alright

01:30:01.420 I guess we can run over

01:30:02.420 for a little bit okay busted britain says as a uf u.s air force veteran specifically a weapons

01:30:08.200 specialist for the strike eagle what is that an f-16 the strike eagle f-15 f-16 um dan is grossly

01:30:15.160 underestimating our ordinance grossly in all caps i am aware that you can blow stuff up that's that's

01:30:21.660 not my i'm not disputing that you can't blow stuff up what i'm what i'm saying is is that 0.56

01:30:26.220 i just i just don't think it's going to be anywhere as near as easy as iraq i really don't

01:30:31.600 think it is oh i'd agree with you that it wouldn't be as easy as europe and winning the peace is

01:30:37.340 another question once picking out humans and military material on any given identified a

01:30:43.140 target i acknowledge that they can blow it up i'm not disputing that bit okay logan 17 pion says i

01:30:49.800 frankly don't care about the persian cats i'm far more concerned about the new evidence of china

01:30:54.140 allowing 20 million uh voters info and their actions into the 2020 election yeah and we did

01:30:59.400 Has anyone done a segment on that at Load Seaters recently?

01:31:01.980 That was Trump's speech recently, wasn't it?

01:31:03.740 Yeah, yeah.

01:31:04.160 I think I covered it on Monday on the Beau show,

01:31:06.360 Breakfast with Beau, 8am daily, tune in.

01:31:09.720 Someone should do a segment on that, shouldn't they?

01:31:12.080 Should we do some website comments?

01:31:13.600 Yes.

01:31:14.120 Considering they're paying us?

01:31:15.320 Yes, absolutely.

01:31:16.240 We need those people.

01:31:17.180 Do we want to do ones for each of our own segment,

01:31:19.000 or do you want to do them?

01:31:19.880 Yeah, we'll do a couple from yours.

01:31:21.520 Okay.

01:31:21.760 A couple of mine.

01:31:22.620 Yes, Alex Ogle.

01:31:24.060 It's all very well pointing out how corrupt Andy Burnham is

01:31:26.680 and the vile clique he's assembling around himself,

01:31:28.480 but how long do you think it will take if at all for the british public to wake up and realize i

01:31:32.420 still see far too many of the public blithely believing everything the bbc puts out i think

01:31:36.140 the burn and bounce is going to be largely a mirage when he has to start owning the consequences

01:31:42.080 of the system that he's supported and uh so it's just a it's just a matter of time until he's

01:31:46.600 unseated what what the focus should be put on is bullying the next party of government to do the

01:31:50.620 things that are necessary so they can fix all the problems that they've inherited and also the ones

01:31:54.960 that are awaiting them as you're pointing out in your segment, Dan.

01:31:57.860 I would agree there, though, and isn't it surprising,

01:32:00.680 most normies you know, probably,

01:32:03.800 do blithely swallow whatever the BBC says.

01:32:07.040 They're not really interested in getting their news from many other sources

01:32:09.600 and whatever the BBC says is like, oh, yeah, that's reality,

01:32:12.460 that's correct and unbiased information.

01:32:13.980 I guess so, I don't know many of them personally,

01:32:16.860 but Makerfield is the perfect example of that.

01:32:19.100 It's not a national bellwether, but there are still people that are just like,

01:32:21.460 oh, our Andy's on our side.

01:32:22.900 for god's sake go watch goggle box please take up knitting do something else um one one more for

01:32:28.160 my segment then uh i will go with uh luke i wonder how many people convicted of civil unrest after

01:32:35.400 southport will be released early by number 10 um absolutely not and in fact the reason they did the

01:32:39.860 early release rounds in the first place was so they could look up more of them so expect more

01:32:43.880 people to be locked up for speech offenses so they can make room for them exactly yeah i'll do a

01:32:49.500 couple of mine uh long time no see something something five dollar say uh it gets worse when

01:32:56.900 89 of companies were surveyed and they flat out refused to hire gen z boomer managers only want

01:33:02.700 to hire boomer employees for the experience i'm not even gen z but i can understand uh this is

01:33:08.440 going to cause problems in the future they're not going to last 10 years well yeah but all the

01:33:11.560 boomers are retiring so it reminds me of um claire fox did an event at unheard after tucker interviewed

01:33:18.280 nick fuentes and she said oh i see all these radical young men around in politics um how do

01:33:22.520 we the older people make sure that they don't get into the institutions and infiltrate them just like

01:33:26.620 the young leftists did in corporations so who said that claire fox baroness claire fox you know 0.55

01:33:31.180 spiked claire fox so yeah because of course the the thing we need is more boomer gatekeeping

01:33:35.660 yeah because yeah it's it's the african saying if you if if young men can't participate in the

01:33:41.320 village they'll burn it down just to fill its warmth that kind of thing yeah uh more boomer

01:33:45.000 Bashing from long...

01:33:45.840 Oh, he's the same guy again.

01:33:47.400 Dan, the issue with...

01:33:48.220 But he's a gold, so he can get two comments.

01:33:50.420 Dan, the issue with an intergenerational home

01:33:52.440 is it means the boomer has to give up soul control

01:33:54.500 of something which means a lot to them.

01:33:57.860 Unironically, they're a war against the young

01:33:59.180 and they don't want it.

01:34:01.200 Yeah.

01:34:02.280 I mean, if you've been so fantastically productive

01:34:04.460 over your whole life

01:34:05.620 that you can then spend 40 years in a five-bedroom house,

01:34:08.300 then good for you.

01:34:09.560 But in other cases,

01:34:10.620 I do think we need to move to intergenerational families 0.77

01:34:13.280 like everywhere else in the world 0.99

01:34:14.940 and all of history has done

01:34:16.420 as opposed to a massive pension-based system

01:34:20.560 which we can't afford

01:34:21.460 and triple locks and all that kind of stuff.

01:34:24.540 And maybe one more.

01:34:26.460 Let's have a look.

01:34:27.880 Justin Phillips says,

01:34:28.780 for down the section,

01:34:29.380 our government pretty much runs

01:34:30.480 on a system of inertia.

01:34:31.780 No decisions that's made is for now.

01:34:34.020 All things seem to be for 2030.

01:34:37.160 Yes.

01:34:38.600 They think they can just run

01:34:39.880 the status quo forever.

01:34:41.160 It won't work.

01:34:43.420 Okay, for my segment,

01:34:44.580 And Jimbo G says, another foreign war, another generation of British Muslims radicalised against us. 0.99

01:34:51.920 At least Starmer kept the wolf from the door for now. 1.00

01:34:56.360 Well, he just brought more of them in.

01:34:57.900 Yeah.

01:34:59.340 I don't think Starmer should be given any credit for that, to be honest.

01:35:04.280 And Baron Von Warhawk says, did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is? 0.59

01:35:09.380 Insanity is doing the exact same thing over and over and expecting crap to change. 0.95

01:35:13.460 That is crazy. 0.99

01:35:14.580 The Iran war in a nutshell.

01:35:18.380 One side tries to make a peace deal.

01:35:20.500 Israel sabotages it.

01:35:22.300 Fighting starts up again.

01:35:23.520 Repeat until Trump gets thrown out of office. 0.61

01:35:25.880 Well, there's a good comment from Binary Surfer,

01:35:27.460 who's also a gold tier subscriber.

01:35:30.120 Okay.

01:35:31.420 That's terrible.

01:35:32.520 I read the first few letters of it.

01:35:35.860 Binary Surfer says, Dan is correct.

01:35:37.340 Yes.

01:35:37.760 The problem with the mountains is that all the slower stuff,

01:35:40.420 like apaches can uh like apaches that can do genuine hard close air support cannot fly with

01:35:47.420 any real ammunition or fuel load at those altitudes it's not just apaches though they've got

01:35:52.760 okay all right um all about the warhawk the a10 uh warhawk sorry the a10 warhawk that can fly

01:35:59.120 any altitude you like what about that also air power can hammer stuff flat but it cannot hold

01:36:04.640 ground especially in low loiter time terrain the u.s would have to commit in excess of half a million

01:36:10.720 combat troops thus at least the same to support troops same as the support troops e.g. mechanics

01:36:16.480 aircrew cooks etc and be willing to lose 10 to 20 percent of those yeah that's that's what i'm

01:36:21.840 saying that's that's that's yeah that's broadly what i was thinking i mean i don't disagree in

01:36:27.660 theory in principle with the sort of the sentiment there i just don't think anything like that like

01:36:31.940 Half a million, no.

01:36:33.000 Wouldn't need that many.

01:36:33.980 I think the...

01:36:34.840 Wouldn't need that many.

01:36:35.400 10% to 20% losses.

01:36:36.560 No way.

01:36:37.380 They would lose a few dozen men, probably.

01:36:40.200 What, in Iran?

01:36:41.340 A fortress made out of mountains?

01:36:43.500 If you look at Gulf War I,

01:36:45.140 they lost, like, hardly any people.

01:36:46.700 They lost more people to friendly fighters.

01:36:48.200 You look at Gulf War...

01:36:49.720 Okay.

01:36:51.320 All right.

01:36:52.220 I hate it when mum and dad fight.

01:36:53.500 It's like this thing where it's better to...

01:36:56.800 Our back and forth about whether it's better to go to Mars or Venus.

01:37:02.500 Yes.

01:37:02.960 You've got it in your mind that Venus is an effective thing.

01:37:04.900 That's insane.

01:37:05.760 That's an insane take of it.

01:37:07.040 Venus is way close to the sun, therefore completely inhospitable.

01:37:09.880 Well, it's atmosphere.

01:37:10.540 You don't land on the surface.

01:37:11.740 Cloud cities.

01:37:13.000 Don't worry about the atmosphere is sulfuric acid.

01:37:15.320 I will send you.

01:37:16.320 Don't worry about that.

01:37:16.840 No, I'll send you the forest.

01:37:17.160 The temperatures will melt like iron.

01:37:19.140 Don't worry about that.

01:37:19.960 It will build cloud cities.

01:37:21.760 Because the atmospheric density is so high,

01:37:24.840 it's actually really easy to have cloud cities.

01:37:27.340 It's surprisingly easy because there's so much buoyancy.

01:37:29.820 and you've got an atmosphere if on mars you can't engineer any of that the whole thing goes

01:37:35.620 whereas on venus you get a puncher in the side and it's like okay i'll put it on the list of

01:37:39.680 things to prepare tomorrow the atmospheric density is important the pressure the density

01:37:44.500 the atmosphere makes it really easy to float there there's loads of useful resources you can

01:37:49.300 crack um fuel and water and a whole bunch of other stuff from the atmosphere honestly i'll send you

01:37:53.940 i'll send you the link to the podcast episode you're skeptical but honestly i'm 100 right i'm

01:38:00.280 100 and i actually and actually i did that episode and i got a climate a planetary scientist email me

01:38:06.240 afterwards to say yeah you're exactly right exactly right thousands of years into the future maybe

01:38:10.800 when we've got a whole new technology to do nearly everything you've just said it's you can't build

01:38:15.400 cloud cities at the moment dan yeah that's the point it's it's not it doesn't rely on some

01:38:19.760 rely on some future tech you basically just need normal atmosphere in a large container that's it

01:38:24.800 because of the atmospheric density people are imagining that you need massive thrusters like

01:38:29.380 this isn't the thing all right anyway no because it's above the cloud layer

01:38:32.780 anyway um we are massively going over because we are rehashing um an important issue which i'm which

01:38:41.820 now you've fired me up about it i'm going to do another segment about no venus no comments no

01:38:47.060 but Venus is not too bloody hot

01:38:48.440 at the level that I'm talking about.

01:38:50.200 Never let it be said

01:38:50.840 we don't monetize autism

01:38:51.860 over at lotusseeds.com.

01:38:53.840 I sat down one weekend

01:38:54.980 and worked out how you would do it.

01:38:59.160 Anyway.

01:39:00.960 Yes, okay.

01:39:01.920 Peak Week West is...

01:39:03.520 No, past Peak West is right.

01:39:05.480 Down is right for once.

01:39:06.340 What do we mean for once?

01:39:08.280 Actually, sod it.

01:39:09.140 No.

01:39:09.200 You're hosting.

01:39:09.940 You need to close the show out.

01:39:11.440 But people are annoying me,

01:39:12.960 so I can't let it go,

01:39:14.240 but I'm going to have to

01:39:15.100 because time has come.

01:39:16.820 So, somebody else has annoyed me in the comments now.

01:39:21.220 Right, I'm going to stop reading the comments and say goodbye.

01:39:23.600 Goodbye.
