00:00:40.780 um don't you make a mistake by not buying the islander six there you go so um something against

00:00:48.500 the front cover Nate

00:00:49.420 or do you just like

00:00:50.480 seeing it yourself

00:00:51.400 there you go

00:00:55.560 yes it's very nice

00:00:57.280 it says Islander on the back

00:00:58.360 what's wrong 0.99

00:00:58.880 yeah it does

00:01:00.420 Islander magazine

00:01:01.140 there you go

00:01:01.640 yeah fair enough

00:01:03.200 have you never perused

00:01:05.100 Rory's rear

00:01:05.860 no

00:01:08.360 okay

00:01:09.760 that was weird

00:01:10.600 missing out

00:01:11.140 yes alright

00:01:12.260 okay so

00:01:13.060 in drawers of Rory's rear

00:01:15.460 take note

00:01:17.420 what is this show today

00:01:20.300 let's have some fun

00:01:23.500 the dream team is on

00:01:24.580 why not

00:01:25.240 it's almost Friday

00:01:26.560 close enough

00:01:27.300 and it's hot

00:01:28.100 so I guess

00:01:30.600 if you have anything else to say

00:01:32.260 should we just do some work

00:01:33.200 do some segments

00:01:34.500 I think segments

00:01:35.420 I should do a top button

00:01:36.760 I should do that as well

00:01:37.940 so I was doing my taxis

00:01:40.340 just before the show came on

00:01:41.660 so I was a bit distracted

00:01:42.440 and didn't get my act again

00:01:43.740 I'm not doing my top button

00:01:44.840 I'm gonna

00:01:45.420 alright

00:01:45.860 there you go

00:01:47.140 they cool

00:01:47.900 sure enough

00:01:48.480 tats

00:01:49.020 um

00:01:50.460 there we go

00:01:52.200 alright

00:01:52.600 so I thought

00:01:54.780 we might talk about

00:01:55.540 the literal

00:01:56.560 replacement 0.85

00:01:57.260 of British young people 1.00

00:01:58.900 which is a shame 1.00

00:01:59.840 because

00:02:00.460 you know

00:02:01.040 they're not all bad

00:02:01.680 some of them are right

00:02:03.120 I don't classify

00:02:04.000 as young anymore

00:02:04.840 I've reached a new age bracket

00:02:06.420 you're over 30 now

00:02:07.220 I'm 30 now

00:02:08.080 yeah you're a bit old

00:02:09.260 yeah

00:02:09.780 you're definitely over 30

00:02:11.400 aren't you Nate

00:02:11.820 yeah the grey

00:02:12.800 in my beard

00:02:13.660 and hair

00:02:14.160 yeah that gives it

00:02:14.780 I'm young at heart

00:02:16.860 i'll give me that uh before we talk about that um by the islander there we go uh and also

00:02:24.940 um there is also merch that you can buy um which therefore means you should oh actually that one's

00:02:31.280 quite nice i like that we've got some great shirts on there yes and mugs they're very summery aren't

00:02:36.980 they yeah i like that yeah yeah so get so get a magazine and some some merch um no what i was

00:02:43.440 going to get into is so andy burnham is particularly concerned with um neat at the moment what is that

00:02:51.680 acronym not in education employment and training i think yes sample well there's more than one of

00:02:59.240 them oh quite a lot of them no fair fair fair yes yeah i didn't know if that was part of the actual

00:03:04.160 no it's just the plural yeah fair yeah um as as opposed to belongs to a neat yeah i think that

00:03:11.080 would be an apostrophe wouldn't it i don't know i don't know i didn't really pay attention in

00:03:14.560 english it was boring um but yes so yeah a long article here where basically he he's trying to

00:03:20.880 tell us oh look he's wearing he's wearing high vis that must mean he's in touch with the people

00:03:25.640 uh and he's adjusting his glasses so there's a lovely little character bit there as well so

00:03:30.840 anyway point is um this has now become a top government priority getting well not getting

00:03:36.880 rid of the neats you know what would help that what's that then important people yes it would

00:03:43.000 um i may come to that as a okay as a potential solution but you sort of beat me to it there

00:03:50.300 sorry so yeah we got we got to do something about the the neats um i'm i will say i'm sorry to

00:03:55.080 interrupt i'm so i'm surprised it says with more than one million young people only only just more

00:04:00.020 than one million that actually seems surprisingly low by comparison to what i thought it would be

00:04:04.980 oh there's there's all there's all sorts of different classifications and wiggle words they

00:04:09.760 use to reclassify people so they don't go into this box they go into this box instead like yeah

00:04:14.940 the economic inactivity and needs and statistically and needs filed under unemployed or economically

00:04:21.080 inactive yes now which one are they i know they're under one of them well both of those yes

00:04:27.880 oh both of them okay all right in that case there's i'll definitely you have you have to be

00:04:33.120 unemployed in order to be economically unactive so yeah well no it's you get slotted into economically

00:04:37.840 unactive yes uh if you haven't been looking for work for two weeks oh actually i mean the

00:04:43.360 definition is a bit tighter than that um i think i've got it further down oh yeah go on but um

00:04:48.740 yeah so because i come i show you a report a bit later that goes into this uh but it is actually

00:04:56.120 quite difficult to get classified as a need so oh so actually it being more than one million people

00:05:02.140 is actually quite bad then yes it's actually quite an achievement it's impressive oh yeah

00:05:06.260 they've done well i've been proud of that so i mean you get you get kicked out of your neat ship

00:05:11.960 if you've done an apprenticeship enrolled in education uh if on like it's some kind of dukedom

00:05:18.280 that you're awarded by the crown we are stripping you of the rank of neat yeah indeed uh on uh on a

00:05:25.040 government employment or training program working towards a qualification so it doesn't catch people 0.56

00:05:30.020 who are just like in between A-levels in university

00:05:32.320 or anything like that.

00:05:33.140 Right, right, okay.

00:05:33.900 Or have received job-related training

00:05:36.580 or education in the previous month.

00:05:39.660 So, yeah, it's actually quite restrictive

00:05:43.200 to get on it in the first place.

00:05:44.760 It's quite an achievement, yeah.

00:05:46.180 Yes, but I mean, I share your point.

00:05:48.300 I mean, it could go a lot higher.

00:05:51.520 I mean, to give you an example,

00:05:53.060 and it doesn't map neatly with disability,

00:05:56.120 even though there is a big overlap in the um in the venn diagram there what's that

00:06:03.200 sorry it doesn't no it doesn't overlap neatly but i mean i mean i'll give you this for example

00:06:08.340 let's consider two 18 year olds as a thought experiment um they're both 18 they're living

00:06:13.880 with parents one of them also uh has is doing 25 hours a week um at minimum wage which is about

00:06:22.140 right for an 18 year old the labor isn't worth much 25 hours is a reasonable amount of hours to

00:06:26.720 get in your first job minimum wage for those guys is 10 pounds 85 an hour so that means they got a

00:06:33.720 take-home pay of about 1 140 pounds a month okay bear that in mind um let's consider a a second

00:06:42.720 individual um same age living parents as well uh but rather than pursuing the route the the work

00:06:48.880 route they've decided to watch all those youtube videos and tiktok videos and how you can get

00:06:53.280 yourself signed off with anxiety ah one of them give give you a give you a comparison put some

00:06:59.100 real graft in yes well you do have to do a bit of work actually because you've got to be able to

00:07:03.300 fake it convincingly and you can't and you need to watch several youtube videos or top tiktok

00:07:07.940 and there's lots of them explaining how to do this i was quite surprised when i looked into it

00:07:12.240 because i was expecting to see um what is it like um people look like green voters doing these

00:07:19.580 videos actually a lot of them are like lawyers and specialists people working for charities

00:07:25.560 with suits on explaining how you can get yourself anxietied off but anyway i'll run through that

00:07:31.220 so universal credit and lcwra which is which is not an acronym that trips off the tongue but that

00:07:38.580 is limited capacity for work and work-related activity so you get those that's 555 pounds 86

00:07:47.340 a month then if you get yourself on the pip and there's loads of videos on that as well

00:07:51.700 standard hip daily living 332 pounds 37 you know that um sorry just to throw it out there pip

00:08:01.260 claimants have doubled since 2019 well when i yes i mean when i deliver you the full set of numbers

00:08:08.020 You'll wonder why it's only doubled.

00:08:10.040 I would expect that a lot of people have gone,

00:08:12.400 oh, I had COVID.

00:08:13.820 Now I've got long COVID.

00:08:15.220 Give me money.

00:08:15.820 Yes, or anxiety or depression or whatever it is.

00:08:17.920 Yeah.

00:08:18.580 Because that was the thing that really shot up after COVID.

00:08:21.760 It was like, oh, I don't have to work.

00:08:23.740 And then how can I maintain this?

00:08:25.480 And then if you get the standard mobility pip,

00:08:28.340 that's another £131.30.

00:08:30.980 So anyway, bear in mind before I said the guy who works

00:08:34.160 is getting £1,140.

00:08:35.380 40 the guy who doesn't is getting 1020 yeah so there's not really much in it apart from the fact

00:08:43.320 that you save 25 hours a week and isn't there an overlap where you could claim like housing benefit

00:08:49.920 as well well this this example is an 18 year old living at home right i did anticipate you might

00:08:55.600 want to know that so so then i looked at okay really want to know how much i'm being ripped

00:08:59.700 off but well you're gonna find out anyway two 24 year olds both of them single they're now

00:09:06.140 renting a one bed flat we also find out what happens if one of them um together drops a baby

00:09:12.000 no i didn't do that okay because they probably get a lot more money off that i i know someone 0.69

00:09:17.620 who's a bit of a neat and she get she's got a child and she gets a lot of money a lot of money

00:09:24.280 well i mean i wasn't i wasn't trying to push this or anything i wasn't trying to you know design the

00:09:28.640 most advantageous situation i just i just looked at you know a fairly standard situation i think i

00:09:34.540 like to think that you're working off the back of my live presentation at the live show i actually

00:09:39.460 forgot what that was about i kind of blanked out a bit it was it was about how it's uh it's actually

00:09:45.000 more advantageous as a young man or woman who cares about their country to just take advantage

00:09:50.580 of the system well in not recommending okay in which case i have subconsciously either stirred

00:09:56.660 it from the depth of my memory or just accidentally recreated your segment that's all right then

00:10:00.500 just remember folks the unemployed have higher testosterone levels because they're not dying of

00:10:05.880 chronic stress they can sleep in all day and take naps whenever they want there is that uh so anyway

00:10:12.860 two 24 year olds uh no they've now got a one bedroom flat uh and let's assume that the 24

00:10:19.240 year old he's still working minimum wage but he's had an uplift but he's got an extra 10 hours a

00:10:23.280 week now, which seems reasonable. A few years work experience, getting a few more hours.

00:10:27.860 So person A is now getting £12.60 an hour. Gross pay, £1,911. Income tax, £145. Well,

00:10:39.300 there was a little bit of tax on the previous example of the guy working, but it was

00:10:42.520 almost nothing. National insurance, £65. Take-home pay, £1,700. And then I had to make

00:10:51.380 a wild assumption on rent because it varies so much over the country but let's say half of that

00:10:56.200 so 850 pounds a month in rent so he's he's got to take home a disposable income of 850 pounds a

00:11:03.980 month so let's compare it to somebody who who pursued the other path you just thought you know 0.97

00:11:10.740 i'm gonna go i'm gonna go with the signed off stuff i'm gonna be a scumbag yes well you say 0.97

00:11:15.940 scumbag but i mean it is the economically sensible decision yeah this is the this is the rational 0.98

00:11:20.980 minded route to take for a young man in this country if you are hate it no no i won't hear 1.00

00:11:27.060 it absolute scumbag right you're either you're either getting you're either getting raped by 1.00

00:11:31.120 the government or other people are getting raped by the government on your behalf i'd rather have 1.00

00:11:35.560 some self-respect you'd rather get raped by the government rather have some self-respect well 0.99

00:11:39.420 let me give you work i do work sadly i'm getting raped by the government for these guys 0.99

00:11:45.480 and foreigners yeah but we're all mugs here aren't we so probably most of the people watching this 0.92

00:11:50.220 as well so anyway it's signed off person so again uh 24 in their flat all right so uh universal

00:11:56.860 credit standard allowance 339 um the oh that bloody acronym again what is it limit capacity

00:12:03.440 for work and work-related activity element 217 pounds enhanced daily living pip 497 pounds

00:12:11.680 enhanced mobility pip, £347.

00:12:15.220 How has it got enhanced now?

00:12:18.740 Is it like levelled up?

00:12:21.440 I don't know.

00:12:23.460 I did pull out the numbers this morning,

00:12:25.540 but I didn't memorise every aspect of it.

00:12:27.980 No, no, I just find it funny that by the age of 24,

00:12:31.380 they've figured out how to game the system even more.

00:12:34.740 Well, they've had a chance to watch a few more TikTok videos

00:12:36.920 explaining how it's done.

00:12:38.700 So total cash to the claimant is now £1,400.

00:12:42.120 So you are now £550 a month better off by going down the non-work route.

00:12:50.020 And also, I should add to that, you get a council tax reduction,

00:12:54.880 which is often 100% council tax reduction.

00:12:58.000 What?

00:12:59.200 Yes.

00:13:00.240 You can't expect these people to pay their own council tax.

00:13:03.760 Free prescriptions, dental and optical help, no commuting costs.

00:13:07.780 free prescriptions yes i haven't finished the list yet no no no lunches at work and 150 hours

00:13:16.520 a month free time extra on top as well as the 550 pounds assuming that you don't need a prescription

00:13:23.260 that month when it goes up another 20 quid or whatever it is so so yes there's that um

00:13:28.860 the system works i see nothing wrong with these incentives well and and as as alison is pointing

00:13:35.740 out here one in four britons um is now disabled is i mean is that what we see when we walk down

00:13:42.300 the high street one of four people are disabled i mean presumably they're disabled in a way that

00:13:45.260 you can't possibly which high street really how diversified is the high street because a lot of 0.94

00:13:49.900 them look disabled you talk about mental disability all sorts right well that's the thing we often 0.88

00:13:55.900 can't tell they walk among us but we don't know um now oh yeah um yes so yeah i dug out the numbers

00:14:05.260 behind this that she was referring to and it is apparently from a family resource survey 2023-24

00:14:11.480 and in that 16.8 million people in the uk 25 of the population were classified as disabled

00:14:19.100 go back 10 years earlier and that figure was 11.9 million or 19 so basically an extra

00:14:26.680 five million people have become disabled in the last decade well we did import 0.98

00:14:31.500 dysgenics so well we did there's quite a high point well yes that is that is true but it's 0.63

00:14:38.640 it's also if if you look at where it kind of goes up in the chart it's basically covid

00:14:42.840 people people's mental health apparently broke down then which also coincides with the surge

00:14:49.880 of people putting out tiktok videos explaining how to get signed off with anxiety people had a

00:14:55.540 lot of time during covid to watch tiktok well they did yes so we've gone from 19 of the population

00:15:01.240 to 25 i i would have thought the 19 number is a bit roping myself but okay fair enough

00:15:06.580 um anyway so then what i'm coming to is this um the neats thing young people not in employment

00:15:13.060 education or training um anyway i i'll save you having to go through the whole thing because

00:15:18.860 it'd be a bit boring um but yeah so 1 million 12 000 people 16 to 24 were on neats which is 13.5

00:15:28.080 percent of the entire age group roughly one in seven um and that rose by 89 000 in one year and

00:15:34.860 55 000 in a single quarter and it seems um men are more neat than women because 55 percent of

00:15:42.400 them are men and 45 percent are women there's something about education and employment which

00:15:47.020 is more favorable to women we don't know what could be i could be anything who knows hr it could

00:15:54.100 be that could be that anyway um oh yeah then i was going to tell you about how actually it is

00:15:59.960 didn't have the ethnic breakdown oh no god not not not in british statistics they wouldn't do that

00:16:05.380 yeah they wouldn't they wouldn't give you that yeah then i was going to give you the uh the the

00:16:10.120 fact that it is actually quite strict but you managed to weed all that out of me a little bit

00:16:13.360 earlier um and and and also i can't clearly delineate what the disability overlap there is

00:16:22.460 right so i presented them both because otherwise i'll get somebody in the comments grumbling oh

00:16:27.060 you didn't think of this it's like i probably bloody did think of it didn't it but i've got

00:16:30.220 20 minutes to do a segment and therefore i'm not i can't put in every possible thought that could 0.52

00:16:34.420 occur on a subject so bugger off i can tell you've been doing your taxes today yes you're in a much

00:16:40.560 more disagreeable less jovial mood than you typically are well it's partly my fault for 0.52

00:16:46.600 leaving it until like two days before the deadline but i like you're you're cutting that far is it

00:16:51.000 make it tax digital well i have to do it by end of day or something and i kind of left it till this

00:16:56.980 morning but this explains so much i'm trying to starve the beast as much as possible by delaying

00:17:03.860 the payment um so there is that anyway right um oh yeah so so where i was going to go next is uh

00:17:10.600 this article uh this study that has been put together um have you seen this 27 young um non

00:17:20.100 eu migrant so so third world has basically hired for every young brit since 2020 analysis reveals

00:17:28.400 uh and and the key bit of this uh if i couldn't find it if not i caught where the bloody hell is

00:17:36.660 not even that long there with me ladies and gentlemen as i oh here we go whilst the number

00:17:42.340 of under 25 is not in employment education or training neat surged by almost 200 000 in that

00:17:48.640 same amount of time by the rest of it oh no hang on this is the bit i wanted oh there we go right 0.99

00:17:53.780 between december 2024 and december 25 the number of non third worlders um on payroll increased

00:18:03.340 by 33 200 while the number of uk while the number of natives fell by 32 200 so they're basically 0.96

00:18:12.300 the same number so we just replacing people yes so so so so while you know many natives are being

00:18:20.900 um basically getting so despondent they either actually have anxiety or they decide that it's 0.76

00:18:27.320 worth torching their future prospects by pretending to have anxiety and quite literally yeah over that

00:18:34.640 over that year period 33 000 africans got jobs uh while 32 000 natives who had jobs before

00:18:43.700 um got chucked out of them i mean literal direct replacement yeah i mean hate that

00:18:53.000 i mean you just can't you can't get it any more on the nose than that it is a it is almost exactly 0.97

00:18:59.520 a one-in-win-out for third worlders which is unfortunate um i will quickly touch on what you 0.84

00:19:09.380 could have had i won't go in this i mean this probably deserves a segment all by itself i would

00:19:14.300 say um i think so yeah it definitely definitely worth going uh going worth into this but um and

00:19:20.680 maybe i'll play it with the sound off but just so you can get a uh it will make you angry yes

00:19:26.580 there we go i managed to turn the sound off right anyway so um while you've been getting

00:19:38.100 chucked out of jobs and you can't get homes in training or or whatever else here's the life you 0.99

00:19:44.240 could have had this is a uh a bunch of third worlders basically being given a four-bedroom 1.00

00:19:48.720 house no no rejecting the four-bedroom house and given a five-bedroom house instead they said no to 0.99

00:19:54.520 this they said oh they said no to this didn't meet their standards oh well okay yeah man yeah

00:20:01.180 it's even worse than you thought right again might deserve a segment i think i think that

00:20:06.500 probably does deserve a segment all on its own okay so i was looking at that and thinking well

00:20:10.900 that's fantastic you're getting that for free um yeah i wasn't good enough for him mate right

00:20:16.120 do any of them work if somebody were to do a whole segment on this i mean how could they i

00:20:22.100 mean did you see the size of the husband i mean clearly he's starving arms like that the man's

00:20:29.020 not eating a meal in months i assume but this is this is what you could have had and if if we can 0.77

00:20:35.880 just give it to some random third worlders who've turned up why can't we give this to a young

00:20:41.260 christian couple who've just got married well why can we i'd like a five bedroom please 1.00

00:20:46.080 well you're not rejecting the fall as well are you well i mean you know i've got higher standards

00:20:51.620 than that Dan

00:20:52.260 you've got to have

00:20:52.700 some self respect

00:20:53.640 if we had given

00:20:55.160 this to like

00:20:56.400 Connor or something

00:20:57.240 when he got married

00:20:58.060 he would end up

00:20:59.300 having like

00:20:59.680 six to eight children

00:21:00.700 I think a lot of us

00:21:02.460 would help his wife

00:21:03.380 yes

00:21:03.740 I mean he's only

00:21:05.000 been married a year

00:21:05.620 and he's already got two

00:21:06.460 well I mean

00:21:07.500 he wasn't aiming for two

00:21:08.800 that was just

00:21:09.380 something that happened

00:21:10.260 well

00:21:10.480 yes 1.00

00:21:11.760 poor bastards 1.00

00:21:12.740 starting on hard mode there 1.00

00:21:14.100 yes

00:21:14.960 but I mean

00:21:15.860 you know

00:21:16.240 this is what

00:21:17.680 you could have had

00:21:18.540 if we hadn't got

00:21:19.640 our mixed up

00:21:20.280 bloody priorities 0.68

00:21:21.080 I mean, I'll just mention this. UK, our tax receipts, how much the government is collecting in tax every year, is $1.12 trillion.

00:21:33.620 Let's just round it up to $1.1 trillion collected in taxes every year.

00:21:39.760 Government spending, $1.37 trillion.

00:21:44.560 So for every pound that is collected in tax, the government spends £1.23.

00:21:51.080 then they call that a false economy sounds like a lot of borrowing to me um yes i mean there are

00:21:58.640 some other minor income such as um interest on student loans oh yeah they do get some rents on

00:22:07.080 some of the social housing um but yeah boring boring is basically the difference i think the

00:22:13.420 deficits what are typically like 200 to 300 billion per year yes that seems to stay yes i

00:22:20.520 I mean, we often have months when it's like 30 to 50 billion

00:22:23.160 we borrow in a month.

00:22:24.920 It's just mental.

00:22:27.220 But the point is, I mean, clearly,

00:22:29.780 when Andy Burnham comes to try and fix his NEAT problem,

00:22:34.160 he's going to be view it in isolation as a separate thing

00:22:39.220 and then wonder how he can spend more government money on fixing it.

00:22:44.060 Yeah.

00:22:44.620 The problem is not that the government is not spending enough.

00:22:47.880 No.

00:22:48.240 It's the fact that his priorities are wrong.

00:22:49.580 I mean, I perused what the government's, I just went around its websites and the Labour Party sites just to see what it is that they claim that they are trying to achieve, what their priorities are.

00:23:04.000 Because I thought, I won't do, I mean, I've only got, like I say, a short segment.

00:23:07.420 I'm not going to do a whole set of policies because I haven't got time to get it done.

00:23:11.800 But I can at least look at the priorities that they have and just say, are these the right priorities?

00:23:17.680 So in every case, and this whole bloody thing took me,

00:23:20.660 well, gathering this list took a little while,

00:23:23.360 but coming up with a better priority took me two seconds every time.

00:23:27.400 Instead of growing real GDP, grow GDP per capita of natives.

00:23:32.400 Instead of focusing on average wages, focus on disposable incomes.

00:23:36.980 Instead of trying to raise the total population, increase native fertility.

00:23:41.540 Instead of targeting jobs, that was one of the departments,

00:23:44.680 i think i was was that dependent department of work and pensions their their priority is is

00:23:48.900 improving jobs or proving total number of jobs employ the increase the employment rate for

00:23:54.100 natives that youth clubs comes up a lot in press statements it should be a proportion of young

00:24:00.080 people entering work net migration should be the net benefit of any immigrant or guest workers i've

00:24:06.100 got a better one for youth clubs right i've got a better one uh pubs opened per capita there needs

00:24:13.260 more pubs happening across the country i'll edit that one later yeah to make it about pubs i mean

00:24:19.760 just simple things like this is it's um you know a priority is to spend i mean i found that on the

00:24:26.120 on some labor website nhs budget increases that is the priority clearly it should be health outcomes

00:24:33.160 well yeah considering they are some of the worst in the developed world um in all their literature

00:24:39.540 they're talking about welfare increases it should be minimizing welfare duration and this is what I

00:24:44.860 mean every single thing that I looked at that that is a priority is a thing that they are trying to

00:24:50.260 focus on a thing that they're trying to deliver on it's the wrong priority so I mean before we

00:24:54.980 even get into policies and tax rates and all the rest of it you just got to have the right set of

00:24:59.040 priorities and number of homes promises that's that's what concessive governments have done

00:25:03.920 is they've promised an ever higher number of homes and then just not delivered it the priority should

00:25:08.240 be lowering the median age of first home ownership and everything else will follow from that

00:25:12.220 lowering child poverty should be lowering the age um that should be an average age of um marriage

00:25:18.260 and first birth i mean all of these are evidently better priorities um burnham's been talking a lot

00:25:25.960 about um um you know grants um for stress businesses and industries without thinking

00:25:31.960 about okay well how did they get stressed in the first place what why are these reduction in was

00:25:36.960 at rent and rates for pubs and stuff.

00:25:38.340 Yes, yes.

00:25:39.220 Prime example, actually. 1.00

00:25:40.240 You raised them, you fool. 1.00

00:25:41.480 Yes. 1.00

00:25:41.880 Not him specifically, but the Labour Party.

00:25:43.680 So what?

00:25:45.000 You know, their debt meeting the fiscal rules,

00:25:48.400 it should be debt per working citizen.

00:25:50.380 I mean, in all of this,

00:25:51.740 it's just the wrong priorities over and over.

00:25:54.940 And I think where we're going to get to before long,

00:25:56.560 it's just going to be that Nick, 30,

00:26:02.400 at some point he's just going to give up.

00:26:05.340 Well, you're seeing more and more people just...

00:26:06.660 Wait, what's that he's pushing up?

00:26:07.780 That's not a boulder.

00:26:10.160 It looks pretty heavy to me.

00:26:11.520 I mean, it looks heavier than a boulder,

00:26:13.300 some might argue.

00:26:14.740 Eventually, his arms are going to give up.

00:26:16.560 I mean, he's got mighty thighs by the look of it,

00:26:18.760 but they can only power on for so long.

00:26:20.720 Yes, before he just thinks, you know,

00:26:22.620 this isn't bloody worth it.

00:26:24.700 And with that, let's see if they have.

00:26:28.900 Got some very generous rumble rants from people.

00:26:31.280 Thank you very much, everybody who donates.

00:26:33.980 Never figure out how to make the mouse appear down there.

00:26:36.660 You move over to the left.

00:26:38.560 Go left.

00:26:39.580 Oh, it's the left.

00:26:40.260 You would think it's down, wouldn't you?

00:26:42.160 Yeah, you would, actually.

00:26:43.640 Siglestone says,

00:26:44.500 you are on this council.

00:26:46.680 We do not grant you the rank of racist.

00:26:49.120 This is outrageous.

00:26:50.300 It's unfair.

00:26:51.020 How can you be terminally online and not be a racist?

00:26:53.600 Take a seat, young neat.

00:26:56.620 I mean, that's semi-connected to what I was talking about.

00:26:58.760 It's quite creative, though.

00:27:00.840 That's a random name.

00:27:01.580 He says, is that somebody who gets cash for their baby,

00:27:06.560 your significant other, Harry?

00:27:08.020 I wish.

00:27:09.920 I wish.

00:27:12.260 Ocludor says, to keep the lotus eaters out of the neat category.

00:27:16.780 Thank you for your donation, my friend.

00:27:19.320 Yeah, very nice $5 from Hawk on a Wire.

00:27:24.460 It recently came out here in the US

00:27:28.080 that 105.8 million Americans aged 16 or older are... 1.00

00:27:34.080 Is that MILFs? 0.97

00:27:35.700 NILFs.

00:27:36.120 NILFs. 0.77

00:27:37.600 There's 100 million MILFs over here just waiting for you, Dan.

00:27:41.580 What's a NILF? 0.86

00:27:43.040 Straight over.

00:27:46.540 Not in the Labour force.

00:27:49.240 Oh, okay.

00:27:49.760 There were some caveats.

00:27:50.700 Okay, so basically the same thing.

00:27:52.140 Just to put that in perspective,

00:27:53.500 I believe the population of America currently,

00:27:56.000 officially the official figures stand at something like what 330 to 350 million people

00:28:01.860 that's like almost that's really bad that's almost a third of the entire population apparently who

00:28:06.860 knows yes what percentage of the actual 16 or over working population that would be

00:28:11.640 yes that's quite remarkable what but why did they go with nilvs i mean that's very easy to get maybe

00:28:18.640 that was something else maybe that was one especially especially the n in front of it

00:28:21.840 but then you think no that's that can't be right maybe it was one of trump's reforms yes

00:28:25.720 we need more nilfs

00:28:28.200 someone misheard what he was asking for

00:28:31.040 I need to come up with a better end though

00:28:35.440 I won't know 1.00

00:28:37.140 the hapsification 1.00

00:28:38.780 I've seen it first time when I worked in a warehouse 1.00

00:28:41.080 migrants from Pakistan and Nigeria 1.00

00:28:42.800 on those dodgy student schemes 1.00

00:28:45.140 been in the country about

00:28:46.960 six months to a year doing long hours

00:28:48.780 yeah exactly

00:28:50.460 can we get nate's segment up please samson i hope you're gonna be talking about something

00:28:58.820 interesting right well before we talk about something interesting you should read something

00:29:03.780 interesting islander oh yes there you go there's lots of great articles in here i have been told

00:29:10.320 it's very good you've not read them yet i don't i don't no one's given me a copy so you can have

00:29:16.520 that one yeah you can have read it over the weekend uh relevant for what we were just talking

00:29:21.160 about there's the michael hudson interview that rory conducted about debt which is very interesting

00:29:25.500 that people should read interesting right well anyway let's um let's move on and talk about

00:29:32.120 uh individuals that we need to deport basically so we're gonna be here for hours i know i know

00:29:40.360 well basically we could do this live just walking down swindon high street that one that one that

00:29:45.380 did it was on the train today um saw this oh that's that video from earlier in the live podcast

00:29:53.820 um listen to it this time aren't you yeah so basically this this came across my timeline

00:29:58.760 and i i couldn't quite believe what i was seeing and judging by the fact that this has been shared

00:30:06.800 multiple times by multiple people not just me loads loads of people have been sharing this

00:30:10.860 i think it's really caught people's attention off like they they're sort of caught off guard

00:30:16.500 by the brazenness of this family so i'll shut up and we'll just kind of watch it um and then we're

00:30:23.240 going to do a deep dive on this family because i did and i kind of i kind of hate this country a

00:30:29.520 lot more so you're going to hate it too i'm due with us our new home new builds four bedroom

00:30:36.580 social housing property we've been offered. This is us going around to check and make sure there

00:30:41.400 are no safety concerns before we accept this property and move in. The garden was quite a

00:30:45.860 good size retention. The front, we had a few safety concerns. We don't proceed to go up to the rooms

00:30:51.180 and check everything. This is a four-bedroom property, new built, like I said, for a family

00:30:55.760 of eight with four children. We need a property that has enough space for adaptation like stair

00:31:00.800 lift, grab race, and other medical equipment to be fitted in. So unfortunately, this property will

00:31:05.520 not meet our household need and medical need.

00:31:07.720 So we turn it down and we offer a second property.

00:31:10.500 The second property is a five-bedroom property.

00:31:13.320 We did the same check with the garden, quite a good size.

00:31:16.000 We love it.

00:31:16.420 When we proceed inside, look around and everything, like I said,

00:31:20.980 is something that we really, really like.

00:31:23.380 This can be medically adapted with the adaptation that we need in the property

00:31:27.060 to make life easy for myself and my special needs children.

00:31:31.180 I carry on.

00:31:31.980 This property was not given to me by my local council.

00:31:34.540 So I have been on my local council register for six years.

00:31:38.620 I was never given a property.

00:31:40.260 Anytime I am being offered a property, I'm thrown into ASD, private rent.

00:31:44.860 With shitty landlord, I've seen the most, the damp. 0.72

00:31:47.160 This has caused me stress, affected my mental health. 0.97

00:31:49.560 So I took my time to my own house to go find my property.

00:31:52.220 If I have known this scheme earlier, I would even dwell on my local council.

00:31:55.840 So please, if you're waiting, go search.

00:31:58.220 I found this property through Right Move On,

00:32:00.840 intermittent renting through Berforshire Progment Housing Association.

00:32:04.120 There are other housing associations who advertise their properties on Rightmonds, Zopla and other renting websites.

00:32:11.140 Make sure you meet the eligibility check, you know.

00:32:14.880 They have a key worker scheme, rent to buy, share ownership.

00:32:17.840 Also check affordability checks.

00:32:21.400 So, was all of that in English?

00:32:23.240 Because I got maybe 15-20% of it?

00:32:25.860 Yeah, that got more and more difficult as it went on, to be honest.

00:32:28.660 my basic takeaway from that is that she got on some private scheme through right move housing

00:32:35.260 association a housing association private scheme through right move that was about intermittent

00:32:40.740 rent that's the socialized aspect of it so presumably what she has to pay rent once

00:32:44.880 every three months at a discount or something yeah they don't work oh this this is still

00:32:50.120 subsidized yeah the only bit that i got was was something like she'd been asking for a free house

00:32:56.660 for six years and she was pissed off that they hadn't council yeah and they were pissed off that

00:33:00.880 she hadn't been given a free house in six years well we'll get to that this isn't the first house

00:33:06.160 well of course it's not it's just it's no it's it's not that she hadn't been given a free house

00:33:10.640 from what i could tell is that the free houses she'd been given by the council weren't very nice

00:33:15.440 so like all entrepreneurs she moved on to the private sector who were able to give her something

00:33:21.320 much nicer and more efficient oh it's a happy story well yeah it's a it's a story of market

00:33:26.460 success really yeah housing associations still subsidized by the council everything is subsidized

00:33:32.040 by the council so obviously that's probably boiling your piss right now isn't it really

00:33:39.440 well i mean everyone yeah that's very very frustrating because you could barely string

00:33:43.140 a bloody sentence you say it's brazen she put that on her own tiktok oh there's so much more

00:33:48.220 and then posted it with advice to other foreigners at the end 1.00

00:33:52.600 of how to do the same thing,

00:33:54.560 at which point I'm going to have to ask you,

00:33:56.140 I've just noticed there's a lot of TikTok links in this segment.

00:34:01.360 I'm sorry. 1.00

00:34:02.240 How flooded with foreigners telling each other how to get free houses is TikTok? 1.00

00:34:08.620 This is just her TikTok. 1.00

00:34:10.860 This is the TikTok.

00:34:11.380 I have done a deep dive on this family,

00:34:14.820 and they need to be deported.

00:34:16.660 And that's a new build as well.

00:34:17.760 Those are new builds.

00:34:18.820 When they talk about building new housing stock to alleviate trouble with the country. 1.00

00:34:23.900 It doesn't go to indigenous people. 0.97

00:34:25.000 No, it's just going to these people.

00:34:26.340 And also, imagine all of the families.

00:34:28.120 Like somebody's just managed to get themselves enough money.

00:34:31.700 I'm going to get a five-bedroom house in a lovely new neighborhood.

00:34:35.700 I'm going to be able to...

00:34:36.420 And a week later.

00:34:37.060 And a week later, these show up.

00:34:38.560 That gaggle of Nigerians show up. 1.00

00:34:40.660 And they're getting it... 1.00

00:34:41.260 With their two autistic bloody kids. 1.00

00:34:43.640 Brilliant. 1.00

00:34:44.080 In your deep dive, did you discover what it is that these people have 0.89

00:34:48.460 that our government had to go to Nigeria and say, 0.57

00:34:50.780 yeah, we really need you to come over here and have a free house?

00:34:53.820 Yes. 1.00

00:34:55.200 So a layabout family in Nigeria. 1.00

00:34:58.340 Yep. 1.00

00:34:58.680 But for some reason we need you and you need to come to this country 1.00

00:35:02.440 and we need to give you a house. 0.99

00:35:03.920 Well, pretty much, yeah.

00:35:04.820 So let's have a look then.

00:35:06.320 So that's actually not their first house, by the way.

00:35:08.220 Of course.

00:35:09.480 Oh, here you go.

00:35:10.400 Look, here's their other one.

00:35:12.060 We're home into a five bedroom property guys and I can't wait to bring you guys content. So at the moment my partner and I, all we've been doing is just grabbing our stuff from the old house and dumping them here and there's a lot of cleaning and work to be done here. As you can see this is a beautiful garden, beautiful garage, lovely bathrooms and toilet. We have four bedrooms up and one bedroom down. I can't wait to set up this place and decorate it how I want it to be for my family and I can't wait to bring you content.

00:35:39.340 so watch out for our family videos we love the official movie home into a five bedroom

00:35:44.220 that was less than a year ago right that was less than a year ago okay so i misunderstood

00:35:51.820 the previous video i got the impression that she was saying she she was waiting six years to get a

00:35:56.900 house but no she was waiting six years to get a house that met her specifications and that huge

00:36:04.720 house yeah with a front garden big back garden garage yeah yeah yeah i mean that looks bigger

00:36:13.060 than my first house i've got to i've got to clarify is bigger than my house yeah i've got

00:36:17.260 to clarify for the americans uh in england this is a big house yeah this is probably like i don't

00:36:23.280 know your back garden shed in america this is a big house in england okay yeah yeah so so there's

00:36:31.300 that that's obviously quite annoying um

00:36:34.720 are you hating everything yet i'm just wait there's more oh what's this

00:36:44.400 in a queue entering disneyland oh my god look at the view so beautiful so we finally got down from

00:36:53.040 our car and then the first thing anyway pause that i just want i just want to show you what

00:36:59.040 we're paying so we're paying for nigerians to go to disneyland paris and have free houses and have

00:37:04.360 free houses i can't the rage is gonna build up casual trip to disneyland nope it's but in paris

00:37:10.720 that's a that's a fair amount of money i mean and at least it's the french one but i mean still i

00:37:16.780 did see that and i did think is that florida and i was gonna get even i was gonna flip my table i

00:37:21.940 was gonna get really angry but no no no it's paris at least it's not so i have to update my earlier

00:37:26.700 question rather than our government going to nigeria and spotting this obese couple um with 0.77

00:37:32.680 mongoloid kids and saying we really need you in britain to have a free house yeah it's that plus 0.99

00:37:38.460 also we need to fund your trips to disneyland yeah oh and i'll get i mean it just gets so much 1.00

00:37:44.220 worse and what do you think that 200 billion of extra borrowing is going towards well yes

00:37:48.940 yeah so anyway um they've got six children what on earth is this oh so this is titled

00:37:56.880 how our sixth child was made they've got six yep we're paying for this

00:38:05.420 is this gdp oh is she pregnant here oh i thought she was just very fat

00:38:10.960 oh no she is very fat as well oh no it's a bit like my earlier on my segment you can be both at

00:38:16.460 the same time yeah yes is this gdp why has he got a do rag on i don't know is this gdp is this what

00:38:24.760 What are we doing?

00:38:26.320 What is this?

00:38:27.160 But again, I'm going to keep coming back to this.

00:38:30.140 Our government went to Nigeria, saw those two,

00:38:32.980 and were like, yes, we need you.

00:38:35.280 Yeah.

00:38:36.020 Because, I don't know, human rights or something.

00:38:38.860 But they don't work.

00:38:41.400 So we need you to come and claim benefits in Britain.

00:38:46.640 For what reason?

00:38:48.160 Why does our government do this? 1.00

00:38:49.620 Why do we let Albanian drug dealers in the country? 1.00

00:38:52.300 Why do we let Pakistani mongoloids in the country? 1.00

00:38:54.680 I guarantee part of this is... 1.00

00:38:56.080 Bowning their cousins. 1.00

00:38:56.840 I mean, why? 0.95

00:38:57.460 Is it part of this?

00:38:58.020 It's a humiliation ritual.

00:38:59.020 Yeah, it's ritual humiliation. 0.99

00:39:03.080 Yeah, I've been trying to come to the Lotus Eaters

00:39:06.960 with fun segments.

00:39:08.460 Yesterday I came with Gary's Economics,

00:39:10.240 which I thought was quite comical, 1.00

00:39:11.160 but unfortunately I did have to black people today. 1.00

00:39:16.940 If you black me, I will never talk to you again. 1.00

00:39:20.760 In Photoshop. 1.00

00:39:21.960 Anyway.

00:39:22.180 anyway um but yeah so just we'll just keep this going this this uh black pill we'll just keep

00:39:30.020 this going um i titled this one in my segment um you can't hate it enough be prepared to want to

00:39:37.540 just do awful things to this person this baby i am carrying i don't know if i'm going to give

00:39:45.300 bear to an elephant or the apple.

00:39:47.540 Man, the craving is too much.

00:39:49.740 Now, all I do crave for

00:39:51.300 is Nando's,

00:39:53.020 Macrodonuts, and now, you know, KFC.

00:39:55.400 This time around, I am not ready to share.

00:39:58.120 My children are back.

00:39:59.140 I better start eating before I get home.

00:40:02.060 Mmm.

00:40:03.300 Mmm. 0.54

00:40:05.540 Give me my chicken!

00:40:07.700 Anyway, that annoyed me

00:40:09.480 a lot, so I wanted to include it in this segment

00:40:11.220 for you to be annoyed as well.

00:40:11.900 Did she just say as well, like, I'm going to have to scoff

00:40:15.060 all of this before i get home because otherwise my kids are going to want some this is just i can

00:40:20.080 barely understand her this is just a bucket for me so i only understand the word ready you know

00:40:26.360 i didn't understand any other words that she said yeah i just it just annoyed i mean i can infer

00:40:31.060 what's going on here is that she's got a bucket of fried chicken and she doesn't want to share it 0.84

00:40:36.920 with is that not a stereotype the smallest person i did a harmful stereotype she's literally she's 1.00

00:40:42.420 I think that's what a massive bucket of...

00:40:45.220 He's not racist, he's...

00:40:47.440 On the screen.

00:40:49.160 Where's the watermelon TikTok?

00:40:50.800 Just get it over with.

00:40:52.180 Wow, no.

00:40:52.880 Oh, no, I didn't.

00:40:55.760 But, I mean, that is a lot of chicken.

00:40:58.360 Yeah.

00:40:58.800 But just two and a half people...

00:41:00.020 Well, I say two and a half.

00:41:00.980 You can't actually count...

00:41:02.320 You're going to have to count each of them as one and a half.

00:41:05.040 So maybe it's three and a half.

00:41:07.060 But for three and a half people, that's a lot of chicken.

00:41:09.520 Right.

00:41:09.800 Okay, so just two and a half people.

00:41:11.040 Yeah, she said that the pregnancy,

00:41:12.420 Yeah, is the pregnancy...

00:41:15.040 I think this is baby number five,

00:41:18.040 judging by the date.

00:41:20.160 That was 2024.

00:41:21.340 Again, I just asked you,

00:41:22.640 is this GDP? 1.00

00:41:24.040 Why are we paying for random Africans 1.00

00:41:25.960 that can barely speak English 1.00

00:41:27.360 to come to England 1.00

00:41:28.540 and stuff their fat faces 0.99

00:41:30.560 with fried chicken? 0.60

00:41:31.960 And get houses and go to Disneyland.

00:41:34.940 Yeah, why?

00:41:35.600 She bought a bucket of chicken, 0.99

00:41:36.720 so that's some GDP ticked up right there. 1.00

00:41:39.460 Yeah, but that was bought by...

00:41:42.420 Me.

00:41:42.800 People like us paying taxes.

00:41:44.760 See, on the spreadsheet though, Dan, it's all the line going up.

00:41:49.800 I think somebody did a segment earlier saying that total GDP was not the right measure.

00:41:55.660 Well, I mean, you're going to have to tell Whitehall that.

00:41:58.140 Well, just to move forward a little bit.

00:42:02.760 Oh, God.

00:42:04.000 Yeah, sorry.

00:42:05.060 but so if you thought that this family was you know because of course a lot of this is trying to

00:42:13.720 guys guys come on don't be rude look we've got to look at the screen for this segment all right

00:42:19.180 i'm just gonna look you directly in the eye for the next five minutes or however so long it takes

00:42:24.380 you could unzip your flies at this point and i will not stop staring at you

00:42:30.040 i would rather look at that right so you guys might assume that we're bringing in

00:42:40.900 random nigerians because of gdp and replacement of uh individuals to help you know the sort of

00:42:48.140 population right yes now what if just hear me out what if those random nigerians are giving birth 0.95

00:42:57.080 to dysgenics 1.00

00:42:59.360 with high mutagen load

00:43:01.840 that will never be 0.67

00:43:04.740 a productive member of society.

00:43:06.400 Because look,

00:43:07.220 here you go,

00:43:07.760 what are the odds?

00:43:10.660 Today,

00:43:11.400 I am going to teach

00:43:13.160 my autistic children here.

00:43:15.360 These are my two

00:43:16.260 autistic children.

00:43:18.320 Two autistic children.

00:43:19.640 She hit the jackpot. 0.75

00:43:20.800 We hit the jackpot. 1.00

00:43:22.380 We hit the jackpot.

00:43:23.680 We let in Nigerians

00:43:25.300 with two autistic children.

00:43:26.840 what are the odds

00:43:27.780 what are the odds

00:43:29.340 they're going to be

00:43:30.000 so useful moving

00:43:31.080 forwards aren't they

00:43:31.860 they're not going to

00:43:32.160 be autistic in the

00:43:32.980 way that Elon Musk 0.63

00:43:33.820 is or Rain Man

00:43:34.820 or anything like that

00:43:35.800 no it's going to be

00:43:37.440 licking the window

00:43:38.000 kind isn't it

00:43:38.700 well no they're 1.00

00:43:39.340 going to be autistic 0.59

00:43:40.160 Rain Man autistic

00:43:41.180 but not the parts

00:43:42.080 where he's really

00:43:42.620 smart the parts

00:43:43.440 where he's like

00:43:43.940 screaming and

00:43:44.640 hitting himself in 0.86

00:43:45.360 the face 0.83

00:43:45.760 yeah yeah

00:43:47.280 anyway so we'll

00:43:48.260 move past that one

00:43:49.360 thank god

00:43:49.900 but you know what

00:43:51.660 it's not much better 0.88

00:43:54.440 if her children 1.00

00:43:55.300 are autistic

00:43:56.780 and obviously not great members of society. 1.00

00:43:59.160 Maybe she is, because she did pass her GCSEs.

00:44:03.000 So let's see what she got.

00:44:05.160 Hey, yo.

00:44:06.600 I passed at my big age, yeah?

00:44:08.440 38.

00:44:09.140 She has got my first GCSE result.

00:44:11.540 And I passed, and I passed, and I passed.

00:44:14.960 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:44:16.480 Anyway.

00:44:17.000 Ah!

00:44:18.880 Okay, cut.

00:44:21.500 So 38, she's 38, she said there.

00:44:25.080 she passed her gcse's at 38 do you think that is going to be a useful part of society 0.93

00:44:33.120 i know this i know the segment sucks i'm sorry why the whole thing sucks i'm sorry 0.70

00:44:40.640 why is she even bothering i mean i don't know if if it's free probably yeah because why not 0.81

00:44:47.960 well she got because it was probably for free that is that's my only assumption to pass the

00:44:53.280 time while waiting to be given an even larger house than the one you'd previously been given

00:44:57.540 yeah the one that she rejected because she was like it wasn't good enough because she but because 1.00

00:45:02.080 remember what she needed was a stair lift so again our government is going to nigeria 0.95

00:45:07.480 identifying fat people that it can bring here to have retarded kids and also while you're here 0.98

00:45:15.840 you'll get some houses and you can do a gcse while you're awake which by the way all the 0.96

00:45:20.880 natives do when they're like 16 yep and you're literally twice that no more than that more than 1.00

00:45:28.060 twice that yep yeah i mean yeah i'm sorry it's not it's i mean as you've gone through it has 1.00

00:45:35.780 not become clearer to me why our government decided yes that is what we need what maybe

00:45:41.480 maybe they integrate on a cultural level then so i've i've presaged that you may

00:45:47.920 have sort of thought this through and gone,

00:45:50.640 I don't see the benefit.

00:45:51.960 So maybe you're asking if they integrate on a cultural level?

00:45:57.120 I doubt it.

00:45:58.780 Okay, I'll ask that.

00:46:00.300 Well, they at least understand.

00:46:03.520 Europe, especially in UK here, and those who are in already,

00:46:08.020 what you should get it clear is that the law in Europe

00:46:11.180 were different.

00:46:12.360 In South Africa, if you go and then pursue somebody's daughter

00:46:16.700 and the age you use the work of the devil and they will let it go or the community will back

00:46:21.380 you and they say oh no no no so basically what i've just i'll um i'll um i understood the bit

00:46:29.240 about it's not africa i'll translate i'll translate okay how did you translate it

00:46:35.440 grok no no uh so i'll translate basically what she's saying is it isn't africa agreed you can't

00:46:45.400 touch kiddies here even though in Africa the literally what she says the community will back

00:46:52.380 you up that doesn't work in Europe so I will still repeat why are we bringing in random Nigerians 0.97

00:47:00.640 so just just be clear she's saying that in Africa you can molest kids and the community will back 0.96

00:47:06.580 you up oh yeah yes but but what happens when we keep on bringing people over like her so what 0.54

00:47:14.000 our future is molesting kids 1.00

00:47:16.060 rather than being something 0.98

00:47:17.480 that happens all the time.

00:47:17.740 And the community will approve of it, yeah.

00:47:20.460 So the future of Britain

00:47:21.460 is we just get to the point 0.84

00:47:22.560 where molesting kids is just normal. 1.00

00:47:26.800 From her and her culture. 0.99

00:47:28.340 Because she's from a place

00:47:29.700 where it is normal.

00:47:31.040 Yeah.

00:47:31.660 And we've, for some reason,

00:47:33.000 bringing over with them

00:47:33.800 as many of them as possible

00:47:35.240 and giving them free houses.

00:47:37.660 But, so semi-culturally integrating?

00:47:43.060 Are we going to give that a pass or no?

00:47:45.500 I mean, I suppose you acknowledge that you're not supposed to do this thing here.

00:47:50.080 That's fair.

00:47:50.900 I didn't hear any sort of moral condemnation of that you shouldn't do these things.

00:47:55.300 No.

00:47:55.520 That you can't get away with it here.

00:47:57.520 Yeah, that is true.

00:47:58.200 That is true. 1.00

00:47:59.080 Well, no, she's not culturally integrated because apparently they can't even go to the movie theatre 0.99

00:48:04.920 without turning their bloody phones on and shining it on everyone. 0.59

00:48:12.120 Literally, cinema, phone screen flash on. 0.77

00:48:15.740 Oh, I'm just...

00:48:16.200 Filming the film.

00:48:17.700 I just want to leave that on repeat

00:48:18.900 because that boiled my piss as well, to be honest.

00:48:21.320 Nate, now, last segment,

00:48:23.600 you told me that you want to be a self-respecting man,

00:48:27.380 make your own way in life.

00:48:29.240 My question to you right now is...

00:48:32.900 How much do I hate myself for paying tax?

00:48:35.000 Why should I carry on paying tax to fund this

00:48:38.900 as opposed to becoming a neat...

00:48:41.400 so what you could do tax for myself what you could do is you could do that whilst earning as

00:48:46.800 much money as possible saving it and getting out of the country government don't want me saving

00:48:50.740 money they don't like me saving money i mean i'm not i'm in a lot of debt to ensure that i don't

00:48:55.880 like the government make sure that the systems are set up so you make decisions when you're

00:49:00.420 young and stupid so you get in a lot of debt so you can never save money true i don't know what 0.99

00:49:06.080 to tell you mate 1.00

00:49:06.660 the humiliation ritual

00:49:08.640 is quite insane 0.99

00:49:09.480 I hate this family 0.99

00:49:10.600 they shouldn't be here 0.98

00:49:12.140 at all

00:49:13.800 and I mean that's it really

00:49:17.360 this whole segment's inspired

00:49:18.400 just because I hate the family

00:49:19.620 that's it

00:49:20.960 get on my country please

00:49:22.780 alright 0.97

00:49:25.220 yeah sorry

00:50:42.460 you woke up in too good a mood and you needed to level yourself out clearly yeah yeah yeah yeah

00:50:47.680 clearly and then i just i just couldn't quite believe what i was seeing every tiktok was

00:50:53.680 somehow worse than the other i just i didn't think it would get worse but yeah it just got worse

00:50:59.180 uh sigil stone says i don't care how much black people want equality uh we're not gonna 0.96

00:51:04.820 grape 40 000 of that every year yeah that's fair at least they're safe i guess from that

00:51:10.120 not nilfs then no that is what you use you can take that one if you want speaking of which this 0.90

00:51:44.100 yeah true so true go back and watch the uh contemplations that josh and i did on studies

00:51:51.240 into stereotype accuracy and how they're basically all correct that should be a nice eye-opening one

00:51:56.860 for you uh now samson could you get my segment up please going to be a little bit of a change

00:52:03.580 of pace for this one where i'm not going to be talking about the british system at all i'm not

00:52:07.580 going to be talking about benefits, nor am I going to be talking about third world foreigners,

00:52:12.560 but there is one thing that unites all of us in this office, that unites all of these segments

00:52:17.020 together, and that is Islander and how you should buy it. We are so unified by it. If you do not yet

00:52:23.520 have a copy of Islander 6, you're not part of the club, so if you want to get into the club,

00:52:28.200 buy it right now. You can get it through the Lotus Eater's website for the cheap, cheap price

00:52:32.080 of £14.99, and then if you feel like it, you can also bob onto the rest of the merch

00:52:37.160 and get yourself a mug or a shirt or something there you go jobs are good so oh samson i added

00:52:43.800 an extra segment an extra link at the top here would you mind just dropping that one in

00:52:47.680 just wanted to remind everybody of um right love this of something that happened in the before

00:52:53.940 times during the year of our lord 2021 to remind every bit everybody how the establishment that we

00:53:02.080 live under right now is very mental but just how outwardly mental things were back during the height

00:53:08.640 of covid the vaccine you're not dancing

00:53:24.360 i remember so clearly having to live through two three years of this the first time around

00:53:32.600 yes why does it look like they're humping the syringe there i never noticed that before

00:53:39.440 on earth yes uh that goes that goes on for another minute literally the only thing i

00:53:46.000 enjoyed about covid is that i'd be walking along um near where i live and people would just throw

00:53:53.240 themselves out of my way as i was coming like i'm sort of some sort of capricious medieval warlord

00:53:57.820 i like that one aspect of it you liked that people seemed as though they were paying tribute

00:54:02.320 to you yeah i mean one one one girl i mean she quite injured herself by throwing herself into

00:54:06.940 a hedge really yes fantastic i don't know why but i mean i i enjoyed that bit but all the rest of it

00:54:14.240 was nonsense perhaps you looked particularly infectious maybe that must have been what it is

00:54:19.060 I'd like to remind everybody that this was, that's Stephen Colbert, right?

00:54:22.740 That's the one, all of these people are completely interchangeable to me.

00:54:25.860 I was going to say.

00:54:26.400 I think that that one is Stephen Colbert.

00:54:28.580 Correct me in the rumble rents, actually, if I am wrong.

00:54:33.360 And also tell me that I'm right in the rumble rents if I'm right.

00:54:36.140 Send money either way.

00:54:38.060 But this was like massive propaganda for a long time

00:54:43.080 because people were locked away.

00:54:44.480 People forget now because it was so long ago.

00:54:46.480 and i think people have actively tried i forget nothing well a lot of people have tried to forget

00:54:51.640 covid from their mind because it was basically just like a black hole in people's lives that's

00:54:55.800 left quite a lasting mark on a lot of people so i posted a quick thing on twitter the other day

00:55:01.420 and said why have no movies been made and it got like two million retweets or something this is

00:55:06.300 something people have noticed it's just memory hold i think even films afterwards do their best

00:55:11.800 to not mention that COVID was even something that happened.

00:55:14.800 So it has been attempted to be memory-holed,

00:55:16.860 and you've got to remember with this,

00:55:18.560 anti-memory-holing right now,

00:55:20.260 this was, like I say, massive propaganda.

00:55:22.960 Writers were paid to write this.

00:55:26.440 Dance costumers were paid to design these costumes

00:55:30.060 and build them.

00:55:32.460 Choreographers were presumably paid

00:55:34.520 to choreograph this whole thing,

00:55:37.080 even for a few minutes.

00:55:37.900 the animators were paid to animate this whole thing and then Stephen Colbert probably took

00:55:44.440 home what like a million dollars per episode or however much he gets paid for this sort of thing

00:55:48.520 this was a multi-million dollar production sponsored by Pfizer if I remember correctly

00:55:54.820 to get you to take a vaccine which frankly most people below the age of 65 did not need to take

00:56:03.380 all for the sake of letting you outside for a disease that most of you were not in any danger

00:56:11.580 from in the first place. It was mental. It was absolutely mental. And it was mental that so

00:56:16.360 many people went along with it for so long. But one of the chief architects that everybody should

00:56:20.980 remember was Dr. Anthony Fauci, who has been grilled a number of times by a variety of faces

00:56:27.440 in congress uh this one for instance is 2024 on his involvement in the potential origins of it

00:56:34.140 whether he was taking money from large big pharma companies for promoting lockdowns and promoting

00:56:39.640 their vaccines and working hand in hand with them basically we want to know how this happened

00:56:44.580 and who was making money off of i just want him flayed well with a screwdriver i don't think the

00:56:50.740 american system has has an option for flaying uh maybe you want to get in touch with the white i 0.77

00:56:57.600 will settle for catapulting him against a wall in a comedic fashion but whatever harm can possibly

00:57:03.680 come to this man i want to happen uh i do not endorse that message youtube if you're watching

00:57:08.660 this we might you might not get that message on youtube uh but you know he's been questioned um

00:57:14.660 this was uh back in 2024 uh he said that it was completely preposterous that he was trying to

00:57:20.000 hide information about the virus's origins. In a declassified report, US intelligence agencies

00:57:26.020 said that they found no direct evidence that the COVID-19 broke out from a Chinese laboratory

00:57:30.760 because there was the Wuhan lab, the Wuhan lab theory. I'm not going to pretend that I know

00:57:35.400 exactly where all of it came from, but it was interesting that everybody started to repeat

00:57:41.020 the Wuhan lab theory when it became socially acceptable to. And how did we know that it was

00:57:45.180 socially acceptable to repeat the Wuhan lab theory. Well, Jon Stewart went on one of those

00:57:49.800 other talking head comedy programs and shouted that it was probably coming from the Wuhan lab

00:57:55.320 where it originated, well, next to the Chinese wet market where it came out from the Wuhan lab

00:58:00.540 that was studying coronaviruses. It seems like a logical step. And interestingly, because of the

00:58:09.200 fact that presumably a lot of people could go to prison or face other sort of catapult related

00:58:15.160 consequences uh as a result of all of this um when biden left office he pardoned a bunch of people

00:58:22.440 which was one of those interesting little things where he pardoned a lot of his family members

00:58:26.560 including hunter biden hunter biden who has recently appeared i believe on a podcast with

00:58:31.780 nick fuentes and he's trying to revamp his whole image he's trying to come across no no see i'm a

00:58:39.060 a friend of the working man, see?

00:58:41.620 And a friend of the Jew as well.

00:58:43.400 Oh, yes, yeah, obviously.

00:58:44.920 It's a big part of it.

00:58:45.820 But it's like, you're the son of Joe Biden,

00:58:49.780 a political dynasty. 0.95

00:58:51.240 And a notorious crackhead as well. 0.98

00:58:52.640 Notorious crackhead. 0.90

00:58:53.660 He was posting pictures of himself in his crack dens 0.99

00:58:56.420 with Chinese prostitutes going, 0.99

00:58:58.120 do I look like a member of the elite class to you? 0.99

00:59:01.100 Yes, actually, because this is what I imagine.

00:59:02.580 That's exactly what I have in mind.

00:59:04.020 Yeah, that's what you all do on the weekend. 1.00

00:59:06.240 Surely you hole up in motels with Chinese prostitutes. 1.00

00:59:09.060 doing crack cocaine with them. But that's interesting. But Fauci was among all of these 1.00

00:59:15.160 people who was preemptively pardoned because Joe Biden said, who knows who actually told him that

00:59:22.680 this is what he was going to say, that they were going to be witch hunted and there was going to

00:59:28.860 be a lot of people coming after them. And so he pardoned Anthony Fauci as part of it from what he

00:59:35.020 called unjustified, politically motivated prosecutions to come. But the pardons did not

00:59:40.760 and do not shield the officials from congressional investigations. Recipients could be subject to

00:59:45.380 probes from a Republican-led Congress that require them to testify and provide other materials.

00:59:50.660 And as well, Trump at the same time, immediately after that, said, well, if you've been pardoned,

00:59:55.340 you don't need taxpayer-funded security, so you're not going to be getting any of that.

00:59:59.680 and uh but then everybody forgets as well that donald trump back when he left office in 2021

01:00:06.140 because donald trump in 2020 was the guy who led operation warp speed uh gave presidential

01:00:12.180 commendations to people like anthony fauci and also general mark milley people who are now his

01:00:18.840 absolute enemies and donald trump says that actually this didn't come from me it came from 0.94

01:00:24.160 somebody else took him a worryingly long time to realize this was a loser yeah he was he was

01:00:30.560 backing the the vax for ages even even when he started his re-election campaign he was still

01:00:36.220 trying to brag about it and he and he had to stand there on stage i remember when people be cheering

01:00:40.760 all the way through and then he'd say and i got the vax done and then all of a sudden oh he still

01:00:44.620 brags about yeah a whole bunch of people start booing him it took him ages to figure out that

01:00:48.860 he was on the wrong track about it when he gets the opportunity to uh which is somewhat

01:00:53.580 contradictory to his now adamant anti-Fauci stance that he takes, given that Fauci was one of the

01:01:00.960 people. Oh, look, Jared Kushner got an accommodation as well. Jared Kushner, who brings so much value

01:01:06.620 to American and international politics. But Anthony Fauci has been subject to these

01:01:13.380 congressional hearings, and there is a new one going on right now. And in answer to the questions

01:01:18.780 that Anthony Fauci has been facing, his answers may surprise you, but this comes off of the back

01:01:24.760 of Rand Paul, Republican Senator for Kentucky. We're all very familiar with Rand Paul. He's

01:01:32.020 been after him for a while. He is leading a congressional hearing as chairman, looking

01:01:37.020 into the origins of COVID-19 and whether there was any sort of misallocation of resources,

01:01:43.540 behind-the-scenes trading going on, etc.

01:01:46.420 Just general all-purpose corruption involved in lockdowns

01:01:50.040 and the response to COVID.

01:01:51.920 But as part of this, he got Fauci's unredacted diaries released,

01:01:58.600 which is quite an interesting attack,

01:02:00.640 which showed throughout them that Fauci basically hated Trump from the start

01:02:04.700 and thought that he was a publicity-hungry man-child,

01:02:08.240 and Trump, for what it's worth, also hated Fauci from the start as well.

01:02:12.080 so it's interesting like you probably shouldn't have given him a presidential commendation then

01:02:16.140 but I understand politics is complicated and sometimes you have to work with people that you

01:02:20.020 personally uh despise but uh uh the hearings uh Fauci has been compelled to appear at even though

01:02:28.000 he received the pardon uh Paul has said that he has made sure he will make sure that Fauci answers

01:02:33.120 for his dangerous decisions and the consequences that they had for millions and it goes on in this

01:02:37.860 Guardian article to point out, despite the fact that the Guardian article is broadly on the side

01:02:43.740 of Fauci and wants to highlight all of the attacks against Trump that he does have, it also does

01:02:49.700 highlight that in the right-wing press, I'm going to assume New York Post, places like that, coverage

01:02:54.920 of the Fauci diaries has focused on his notes about his rise to global fame amid the COVID response,

01:03:00.120 particularly about meeting celebrities or appearing on TV and in the press. The singer Joan Boas,

01:03:05.020 Is that how you pronounce it? Joan Bez?

01:03:07.220 And actors Julia Roberts and Sean Penn are among names prominently noted.

01:03:11.420 Fauci does seem to have been proud of his new sound celebrity.

01:03:14.600 On 13th of July 2020, his relationship with Trump rapidly souring.

01:03:18.900 He turned to his diary and wrote,

01:03:20.700 major show of support for me for multiple and varied sectors. 0.90

01:03:24.300 Most people expressing outrage that the Trump administration would be so bumbling and incompetent

01:03:29.980 to try to discredit, his own words here,

01:03:32.780 the most credible scientist in the world.

01:03:37.580 What a megalomania.

01:03:38.660 So it did go a little bit to his head.

01:03:40.900 It did go a little bit to his head.

01:03:42.860 I remember when he said he was the science or something like that.

01:03:46.800 Do you remember that?

01:03:47.980 That does sound like something of a villain's spectra.

01:03:50.740 It was something like, if you question me, you're questioning science.

01:03:53.180 Yeah, yeah.

01:03:54.060 Something like that.

01:03:54.600 If you don't vote for Joe Biden, you don't believe in science.

01:03:57.960 And then Joe Biden comes out from the side and goes,

01:03:59.700 and you're also not black yes that's that's a bit i was remembering insane i mean to be fair i didn't

01:04:06.200 vote for joe biden and i'm not black so i suppose that part of it is at least semi-true so i mean

01:04:10.600 the obvious the obvious truth behind all of this is that clearly the administration overreacted to

01:04:17.960 what turned out to be not a particularly damaging virus for majority of people for older people

01:04:23.960 worry and concern was legitimate and warranted much like the flu yes yes and and isn't it funny

01:04:30.080 that the number of flu cases went down by the same number of covid cases i did find that quite

01:04:34.860 interesting is that is odd and and flu that's quite damaging to all people yeah it is also

01:04:39.460 very damaging to old people it is odd yeah but then they locked it down came up with operation

01:04:44.880 warp speed fauci was getting a huge ego kick off the whole thing making loads of money i would

01:04:52.340 assume speculatively that he was probably also doing some back behind the scenes deals with

01:04:58.040 people covering up for his friends who were involved in all of this in ways that looked

01:05:02.660 bad and were corrupt uh and then joe biden at the end of his term went well we don't want you going

01:05:08.720 to prison because if you have to go to prison you'll have to tell on all of my friends you know

01:05:13.120 what he did to the puppies i remember the puppy stuff well i won't say it because it's utterly

01:05:17.880 utterly horrendous

01:05:19.100 he tortures dogs as well

01:05:20.840 it's pretty mental

01:05:22.160 it's mental to just go back

01:05:24.200 and think that so many people

01:05:25.560 have forgotten about all of this

01:05:26.820 or at least try and memory hole it

01:05:28.680 in their own recollection

01:05:29.600 yeah Australia literally had

01:05:30.980 Covid camps

01:05:31.840 oh I remember that

01:05:33.300 remember that

01:05:33.700 wasn't it that Claire Lemon woman

01:05:35.660 the Quillette woman

01:05:36.680 was also going to them 1.00

01:05:37.980 and going like

01:05:38.660 actually going to the camps

01:05:40.040 is fantastic

01:05:40.820 I love the camps

01:05:41.860 I can sunbathe at the camps

01:05:43.100 New York City

01:05:43.800 was it the mayor

01:05:44.580 or something like that

01:05:45.300 or the senator

01:05:46.660 was offering people a burger, a free burger.

01:05:49.740 Oh, yeah.

01:05:50.480 Remember that?

01:05:50.960 Oh, yeah, I remember that.

01:05:51.720 I remember somebody offering a donut

01:05:52.640 if you got yourself clutched on.

01:05:55.940 Yeah, it was a very mental time.

01:05:58.520 Actually insane. 0.99

01:05:59.280 These people are actually insane. 0.88

01:06:00.860 In response, because of the, you know, he's going out, 0.89

01:06:03.600 and sorry, it's not a congressional hearing,

01:06:05.720 it's a Senate hearing in the Senate testimony.

01:06:09.160 Apologies for that.

01:06:10.680 Your American system is just too divided and mental 0.98

01:06:13.220 for my tiny British brain to understand, 0.98

01:06:15.060 So feel free to be angry at me in the comments if you want.

01:06:18.520 But we did get, frankly, kind of, you know, for all my criticisms of Trump,

01:06:23.220 sometimes he still comes out with a hilarious gem.

01:06:26.260 And he came out on Truth Social and just threw this one out there.

01:06:29.920 Many more people died of COVID under the Biden administration than under the Trump administration.

01:06:34.800 Operation Warp Speed was a capital letter spectacular success.

01:06:39.000 In fact, many say one of the most successful things ever done by an American president.

01:06:44.600 I overrode Fauci on this

01:06:46.600 his ideas were crazy

01:06:48.520 also I said from the beginning

01:06:50.100 that the virus came from

01:06:51.100 the Wuhan laboratory in China

01:06:52.700 Fauci strongly disagreed

01:06:54.620 always trying to protect China

01:06:56.940 I mean I've got to 0.96

01:06:58.520 I've got to admit

01:06:59.360 I mean I disagree with the

01:07:01.140 spectacular success

01:07:02.500 most successful thing ever

01:07:03.640 but just the brazen show of like

01:07:06.080 this is the best thing

01:07:07.540 that anybody has ever done

01:07:08.900 is pure Trumpian classic

01:07:10.280 that feels like something

01:07:11.380 that will come back to bite him

01:07:12.680 when the evidence is out

01:07:13.740 oh yes of course but it is a hilariously worded truth social so i i'll admit that but what's

01:07:20.060 going on with the senate hearing now what's actually happening what are the answers that

01:07:24.500 where are the secrets are we uncovering the corruption folks are we finally getting the

01:07:30.260 answers that we've been desperate for after five or six years of waiting no no therefore

01:07:38.120 Although it pains me to do so because of the respect I have for the legislative branch

01:07:46.100 of government and my decades-long record of cooperating with Congress, under the advice

01:07:54.080 of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution to

01:08:00.980 refrain from answering your questions.

01:08:03.600 Thank you.

01:08:05.660 What?

01:08:08.120 now the fifth isn't that the right of non-self-incrimination yeah why would his

01:08:15.440 answers incriminate him well i mean he's already received the pardon so there is a they are going

01:08:20.380 to potentially ran paul is potentially going to do a vote in uh the senate uh sorry a vote in

01:08:26.740 congress next week uh to hold him in contempt because there's a legal gray area here can you

01:08:33.640 plead the fifth if you've already received the pardon because what it actually comes across like

01:08:37.900 is well you're just trying to not tattle on all of your friends yeah clearly that's what it's

01:08:41.960 going to be is there's loads of corruption going on here and if you give straight answers to the

01:08:46.980 questions that have been asked then a load of other people who don't have presidential pardons

01:08:52.200 are going to go down for it and that could be damaging for you and that could be damaging for

01:08:56.080 them and you've all got vested interests in all of this i watched uh i watched some of this and

01:09:00.720 it was the most maddening thing ever because it's even to the point where he refuses to answer what

01:09:06.460 the fifth amendment is it just pleads the fifth on someone saying so what what are you pleading

01:09:12.700 then what is the fifth amendment jokes on you how can i answer your questions if i can't speak

01:09:16.940 english yeah well there you go uh he was sorry do you have the clip of his lawyer being thrown out

01:09:24.820 i don't have that clip i know that he um he came out to give advice to him and ran paul just kicks

01:09:30.220 him out the whole the whole thing sadly uh because of how futile and useless it's turning out it's

01:09:36.640 it's just it's just a bit of theater yeah unless prosecutions and consequences come off this then

01:09:45.280 it's just something more for the gallery for the peanut gallery it's red meat it's just red meat

01:09:50.740 right of people i mean he was i mean the questions that he was asked are legitimately interesting

01:09:54.920 questions that i would like the answers to like rand paul asked him did the national institutes

01:09:59.100 for health ever fund gain of function research on monkeypox uh and he said um i have fifth

01:10:06.400 amendment i plead the fifth ask another question did the nih ever conduct research for or in

01:10:13.940 coordination with any element of the intelligence community the cia that's um a very interesting

01:10:19.920 question plead the fifth dr fauci would you at least like to answer one question and let us know

01:10:26.100 whether or not you've changed your mind on whether there or not

01:10:28.340 the benefits of gain-of-function research outweigh the risks.

01:10:31.980 I apologise, sir. I plead the fifth.

01:10:35.120 He did this over 100 times.

01:10:38.300 Didn't Steve Bannon go to jail for not answering Congress's questions properly or something?

01:10:44.360 Yeah, but this is a Senate hearing.

01:10:46.700 Well, I mean, he might still be held as contempt of US Congress,

01:10:50.680 but that's going to initiate a whole other part of this

01:10:54.620 where they're going to start asking the legal questions of

01:10:57.300 if you've already received the pardon,

01:10:59.540 do you actually get to plead the fifth or not?

01:11:01.640 And it's going to take a load of time for legal experts to wade in,

01:11:04.820 decide what the actual answer to that is.

01:11:07.380 So we're not getting answers.

01:11:08.940 I don't think anything's going to come from this at all

01:11:11.480 because no one is going to want to vote in favour of undoing pardons in future.

01:11:18.020 They're not going to want to do that

01:11:19.020 because their self-preservation skills will kick in

01:11:22.640 for their own scummy behaviour in future.

01:11:25.120 I mean, I wouldn't be surprised when Trump leaves his second term

01:11:28.640 if he gives a load of, like, last-minute presidential pardons

01:11:31.340 on his last day as well.

01:11:33.740 It should be to the owner of a certain catapult.

01:11:38.860 But, you know, what we do get from it

01:11:40.780 are lots of clips of Fauci pleading the fifth

01:11:43.040 and lots of clips like this.

01:11:45.440 It was about six years ago today

01:11:47.060 that I decided I'm going to give up my businesses,

01:11:50.780 sell them all, run for office, run through the United States Senate.

01:11:55.520 Here I am sitting in front of you six years later saying, 1.00

01:11:58.240 who the fuck do you think you were for doing that? 1.00

01:12:02.920 It is a total disgrace what you did to this country. 1.00

01:12:07.100 And if my Democrat colleagues are standing there defending you,

01:12:09.720 I hope the voters of the United States of America watch the clips of every one of you

01:12:15.340 doting on a guy who was more interested in being a celebrity than saving american people

01:12:22.020 i will make it my mission to make certain that every single one of those republic

01:12:29.660 democrats who did that will see that clip over and over and over again

01:12:36.220 and then nothing happened it's you you get your nice posturing what the f do you think that you

01:12:46.440 were doing republicans they just never ever have follow through and because take january 6th the

01:12:52.260 amount of people that went to solitary confinement for four years as a result of january the 5th

01:12:57.920 trump comes in and yeah january 6th trump comes in and yeah okay he names antifa a terrorist

01:13:04.400 organization doesn't do a damn thing why aren't they all in solitary confinement why aren't they

01:13:08.760 all at least in jail yes like republicans just never do anything i i know that nobody likes to

01:13:16.820 refer to a particular political group but shall we say that in the 1930s there was a time when a

01:13:24.520 large political and municipal building burned down and a particular political party used it as just

01:13:31.560 an excuse to make their opposition illegal and you don't have to go that far you don't have to

01:13:40.220 be that totalitarian republicans doing anything at all ever but when you get when you get adequate

01:13:46.140 opportunities you can at least shut down the violent terrorist arms of your opponents

01:13:51.320 you think wouldn't you they just come on never do a damn thing you can do something well what

01:13:57.280 and uh how many of their enemies are in jail who are inconvenienced in any bloody way not enough

01:14:04.500 and you get you get stuff like this well but you get the clips of josh josh hawley dressing him

01:14:09.520 down as well you get multiple clips of fauci pleading the fifth his lawyer getting kicked out

01:14:14.360 and then people say dressing him down but ultimately fauci just has to sit there have a

01:14:21.260 day of his time wasted go i plead the fifth and then they all go and they see if they can hold

01:14:27.260 him in contempt of US Congress next week, which starts a whole new, you know, horse and pony show.

01:14:35.460 Because, again, ultimately what's going on is that there was a lot of corruption.

01:14:40.200 He's protecting his corrupt friends in the government, in big business, and in big pharma,

01:14:46.020 and until you see actual arrests made of people who profited off of this, who prolonged it,

01:14:52.180 who caused people real life harm off of the back of it, just wheeling him out in front of Congress

01:14:58.040 or the Senate every so often so that you can shout at him. Doesn't do anything. So it is funny

01:15:04.340 that he's just pled the fifth over and over and over again a hundred times. Like he could just

01:15:09.460 wheel out a little recording of himself and just press that. I pressed the fifth button

01:15:14.140 over and over and over again. But ultimately that's all this is, a little bit of a clown show. 0.95

01:15:20.120 So, sorry to spoil anybody's hopes there.

01:15:24.920 I don't see anything coming of this.

01:15:27.420 Maybe the next time, though, lads. Maybe next time.

01:15:30.520 All right, got two rumble rants for that one.

01:15:33.440 Sigil Stone, Dr. Fauci, with a slur in it,

01:15:37.480 should be given the same treatment he mandated by official policy 0.81

01:15:40.380 for all of those beagles. 1.00

01:15:43.040 Habsification, hundreds or thousands of illegal migrants

01:15:46.020 have just stormed to the border and just broke into Spain's enclave of Cueto.

01:15:49.560 that's troubling news that's very troubling there's a video of it i've not seen that one yet

01:15:54.600 a lot of people uh sorry i bumped the microphone sigil stone tell republicans it'll help a certain

01:16:00.920 country on the eastern mediterranean coach and watch them haul ass to accomplish all kinds of

01:16:04.800 things i don't think they'd go that far for lebanon i mean come on logan i think you're confusing

01:16:09.960 fixing a car for a bottom it takes time to fix a massive mess well yeah it takes time but i don't

01:16:18.460 see where they're going with it other than just like shouting at Fauci for a few for a few days

01:16:24.160 I don't see I don't see where they're going I don't see the long-term plan here but I'd be I'd

01:16:29.120 be happy to be proven wrong people do need to face consequences COVID was an insane time a lot of

01:16:34.980 people got hurt a lot of people made money off of people getting hurt and I've not seen anywhere

01:16:40.360 near the level of consequences that there should have been I mean I like that guy I mean the guy

01:16:44.960 previously you said uh we sold my businesses and i went into congress because of this i mean it's

01:16:49.120 the same for me i mean that's the reason why i'm in podcasting now is because it pissed me off so

01:16:52.980 much that i just had had to get in the game and and all i want my number one political priority

01:17:01.240 is is holding to account everybody who's involved and punishing them in the most creative statistic

01:17:07.840 way i possibly can all right hmm uh should we have some video comments so let's be clear about

01:17:16.920 this um the way casting in the odyssey is actually a trick that i think christopher

01:17:23.860 is in on of odyssey and quality um basically starting with elliot page um he's cast as someone

01:17:34.060 who allows the great deception of the Trojan horse

01:17:38.460 not being what it says it is to be accepted

01:17:41.320 by the Trojan society leading to its downfall. 1.00

01:17:46.460 That's a fair point, actually. 1.00

01:17:48.700 Yeah.

01:17:49.320 Gee.

01:17:50.680 I didn't watch it.

01:17:52.140 It's not very good.

01:17:53.640 I don't like Christopher Nolan films anymore.

01:17:56.140 So Andy Burnham is the new UK Prime Minister as of 10 days ago.

01:18:00.160 But honestly, I don't see him being much better than Keir Starmer

01:18:03.180 as both blokes share the same ideology,

01:18:05.760 just with different ways of delivering it.

01:18:07.580 This is just a desperate last-ditch move by Labour

01:18:09.900 to save themselves from total collapse.

01:18:12.460 Same story playing out in Victoria, Australia.

01:18:15.300 They've ditched former Premier Jacinta Allen for Ben Carroll,

01:18:18.860 trying to prop up their collapsing support

01:18:20.680 before the state election in late November.

01:18:23.060 Classic Labour move, swap the face, keep the failing agenda. 0.99

01:18:28.140 Ben Carroll looks like a lesbian. 1.00

01:18:29.840 is that really the new 1.00

01:18:32.780 yeah I mean good points

01:18:35.500 but

01:18:35.760 that guy looked weird

01:18:38.240 any more on

01:18:40.820 the video

01:18:42.040 we're just through to the written comments

01:18:45.040 oh the written comments, oh we actually get time to do

01:18:47.360 some today, I know right, which is good

01:18:49.020 almost 10 minutes, yes

01:18:50.780 well I'll read a couple then

01:18:52.480 Henry Ashman says

01:18:54.880 the welfare benefits are mad if you think about

01:18:57.440 it like other forms of care

01:18:59.400 Imagine if hospitals ended up with people staying in hospital beds forever

01:19:02.880 and Burnham suggested just building more beds

01:19:05.040 instead of getting to the point where they no longer needed to be in hospital.

01:19:09.920 Yes, it is. It is mad.

01:19:13.300 He also says, so many disabilities are reported,

01:19:17.180 are all determined by self-report surveys.

01:19:20.920 Yeah, well, that's why there's been a rise in anxiety,

01:19:22.980 because you can't disprove it.

01:19:25.900 Somebody turns up and says they're anxious to their doctor.

01:19:28.120 I mean, what are the doctors going to do?

01:19:30.640 Like shine a stethoscope in their ear or something?

01:19:32.800 I remember the old trick was a bad back.

01:19:34.760 Do you remember that?

01:19:35.640 No.

01:19:36.260 That was the old trick people used to claim.

01:19:38.500 Or at least that was one of the sort of like in the popular zeitgeist.

01:19:42.280 People knew that on the dole,

01:19:44.660 individuals that were signed off long-term sick,

01:19:47.200 a lot of it was just back.

01:19:48.760 Because you can't prove or disprove it.

01:19:52.320 Or at least that was the thinking.

01:19:54.140 I mean, that way I'm talking like 20 years ago.

01:19:56.500 Yes, it's got easier since then.

01:19:58.980 Yeah, clearly.

01:20:01.220 Michael Dribelbis says,

01:20:03.780 this is sadly why the US doesn't have an NHS, 0.98

01:20:07.720 too many system surfers and benefit parasites, 0.81

01:20:10.080 and roughly half the US doesn't see it as a problem. 0.95

01:20:13.060 Well, that solution is more taxed.

01:20:14.900 Yeah.

01:20:15.940 I mean, I remember a time in this country when,

01:20:18.640 I mean, all of the exploits that are being used today,

01:20:20.780 most of them existed back then,

01:20:22.360 but we just had a population that didn't think to do that.

01:20:25.020 Yeah.

01:20:25.340 So it was fine.

01:20:25.820 also the incentives were such that it was still better for most people to actually work and

01:20:32.280 contribute and do something productive with their lives yeah incentives are just completely upside 0.98

01:20:36.240 down these days yeah i mean an example of this is is the um what are they the snum was it somalians 0.98

01:20:43.760 doing the early leering centers yeah yeah but those exploits have probably existed for years 0.99

01:20:48.680 but when you start getting a lot of somalians it's like well why wouldn't we do this yeah

01:20:52.540 uh nick taylor says uh dan's segment is giving me anxiety there you go you can you can get was it 1.00

01:20:59.760 1 400 a month then not to do any work so congratulations you've just added to the tax

01:21:05.320 bill dan all right uh some for my segment uh henry says worth remembering that new build social

01:21:13.820 housing has been incorporated into all new build developments as part of an affordable housing

01:21:18.660 requirement this also includes priority rentals for key workers such as the nhs and social care

01:21:23.740 staff who are also new to the country i'm in a new build and you can see these people everywhere

01:21:29.400 yeah only if the new build estate is of a certain size it's actually only if it's of a certain size

01:21:36.360 so so if it's if it passes a certain threshold you have to include those houses in it yeah yeah

01:21:42.900 yeah so but yeah i mean i was i was thinking this earlier and i think i've posted something about

01:21:48.340 words to the effect anyway i don't see where the incentive is anymore for indigenous british people

01:21:55.260 to buy property like i understand obviously getting on the housing ladder and the benefit

01:21:58.740 of them you know their future etc but where's the equity if you're going to buy a place and 1.00

01:22:05.660 the risk is in like a year just some random african or pakistani is going to be moved in 1.00

01:22:11.920 next door to you and cause your life a living hell yeah i wouldn't touch new build estates 1.00

01:22:15.700 for that reason that's what i mean well and they'd probably also actually reduce the house prices

01:22:20.820 i mean your equity as well yeah your equity will be damaged it will be destroyed um it's awful

01:22:25.940 absolutely awful um wolf grillington great name so i was pretty sure the constant screaming in

01:22:31.900 my mind just increased in volume a little mate i'm so sorry for that segment first time yeah

01:22:37.480 uh jimbo g says the worst part about the africans getting free stuff is that they have been trained

01:22:43.980 to buyer institutions that this has been owed to them remember the guy on the beach screaming i 0.71

01:22:48.880 want my house i want my money uh and then the scenes from spain today are horrifying it's not

01:22:54.600 looking good like all that story from yesterday where a sudanese guy was trying to get into a

01:22:59.260 primary school with a machete and petrol yeah uh because he wanted to make a statement i mean god

01:23:04.760 knows what he would have done if he got in probably butchered a whole bunch of kids but

01:23:07.540 it's and it's because he felt he was entitled to more yeah and this was a way to get attention

01:23:13.060 yeah yeah i mean what are we doing well yeah i mean i've said this before is that it's a it's a

01:23:20.600 a type of psychosis or a mass hatred or whatever you want just evil to bring a whole bunch of

01:23:27.000 people into a country tell them they're oppressed give them the right to vote and then weaponize

01:23:33.760 every single arm of the state in their favor like and then allow them to come to a majority

01:23:40.700 of population size what do you think is going to happen to the indigenous people and what do you

01:23:45.220 actually think is going to happen that nigerian woman in in your segment um i mean throughout

01:23:49.800 the popping and clicking and i i could i could just about make out one bit where she was saying

01:23:54.780 oh yeah you can get away with molesting kids in africa but you you can't really get away with it

01:23:59.320 here it's just like well why why do we want people like that oh i i had some fun uh recently for part

01:24:05.880 of a video that i've been researching looking into attitudes towards this sort of thing in

01:24:10.920 senegal which is obviously in west africa near nigeria um they only just made rape an actual

01:24:18.060 crime in 2020 uh and part of this was as a response because due to covid lockdowns they

01:24:25.720 sent all of the young girls home who all immediately started getting raped by their

01:24:31.040 older family members brilliant and then they may have made it a crime but the attitudes are still

01:24:37.580 the same and the attitudes of the officials are still the same so nobody even cares and what i

01:24:41.800 was reading was saying that uh amongst many senegalese they see raping a girl as a compliment

01:24:48.520 to her and again this is just next door neighbors with um close enough to next door neighbors with 0.73

01:24:55.060 nigeria so like why do we want like outside of all the other reasons why would we want these 0.71

01:25:00.140 people in the country oh i hate it so much uh and lastly henry says i'm eternally reminded that i 0.92

01:25:05.920 effectively work for the government at least three days a week thanks to all the various taxes

01:25:10.180 nate is just showing me where that money is going i might go throw up yeah i am sorry i've been

01:25:15.900 trying to bring like fun segments lately but soz and uh henry ashman again the i am the science

01:25:27.040 comment really got to me so much of the science is arguing disagreeing and tearing apart the studies

01:25:31.440 that's what makes science robust and strong we went from masks aren't needed to you need masks

01:25:38.060 to actually masks don't do that much over the space of a few months rather than saying based

01:25:41.920 on the latest research here's our best understanding the political advisors just said

01:25:46.480 this is the truth it always has been and if it's even if it's contradicted last week or

01:25:51.620 contradicted again next week it was like 1984 again completely mad time do you remember i know

01:25:56.700 that there was all of those clips going around um at the time of him progressively week on week

01:26:02.180 going it's it's 99.9 effective it's 98 effective it's 95 effective 90 85 80 70 you know it keeps

01:26:11.440 going down and down and down and what that just means is like you could say like oh well you never

01:26:16.660 know the true efficacy before it gets released to the public no that just means that it wasn't

01:26:20.280 tested properly yeah uh it was rushed out the door why why was it illegal for a time on platforms

01:26:27.640 for people to say well clearly this has been rushed it normally takes a lot longer to produce

01:26:32.900 a vaccine than what we see here i used to get into a lot of arguments over covid because i just

01:26:37.160 refused to wear a mask ever and i'll go around shops and then invariably somebody would try and

01:26:41.180 pick a fight with me someone was telling me that oh we have to all act like we've all got it he's 0.97

01:26:46.960 like well if we've all got it i can't give it to you then can i use stupid cow it's just just you 0.92

01:26:51.640 could do you you could double my dosage yeah i'm just saying i'm glad i honestly say i never wore 0.95

01:26:57.800 a mask once never point blank refused and i remember getting into some shops and they were

01:27:03.420 like where's your mask i'm like you got anxiety i might be i might be exempt mate i'm not a 0.92

01:27:09.740 fucking moron go away what's your exemption i'm like you can't ask that i didn't i didn't get a 0.96

01:27:14.940 mask i just got um a red bandana and just like hung it around my face like i was some kind of 1.00

01:27:21.180 highway robber for a little bit and i remember people telling me off saying like you should be

01:27:25.520 wearing a mask not that and it's like this is thicker than a mask this covers more of my face 0.80

01:27:31.960 than a mask what the hell are you on about performative effing nonsense for two and a half 0.97

01:27:38.280 years it was in if you told people they needed to carry around a 12 inch rubber dildo everywhere 0.98

01:27:43.880 they went to avoid getting they would have done it if you told them to dress up like a big bird

01:27:47.380 they would have done at least that would have been funnier they would have done they would 0.99

01:27:49.780 have done anything i mean i i can't get over just how bloody stupid and i think it is 19 out of 20 1.00

01:27:57.320 people are 19 out of 20 people are just brain dead morons well i mean sophie live here says 0.99

01:28:04.240 i'll have you know guys that i died three times from covid and you should trust the science 0.99

01:28:08.440 and Cumbrian Kulak
