The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters #1490

00:00:00.120 Hello, everyone. Welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters.

00:00:04.320 Today, this beautiful day is a Monday, 24th of August, 2026,

00:00:09.140 and this is episode number 1490.

00:00:13.620 I'm pleased to be joined today by Brother Luca.

00:00:15.720 Hello. Thank you, Brother Stelios. Always good to be here.

00:00:18.840 Same. I'm really looking forward to this.

00:00:21.520 And we're going to discuss mayhem, carnage, destruction.

00:00:26.400 Not necessarily in that order.

00:00:27.800 yeah we are gonna have three segments about jason or day i'm joking we're not gonna i saw the chat

00:00:36.180 that you said you don't want us to talk about this again right so we are going to discuss how

00:00:43.340 the government basically admits that multiculturalism is a train wreck well yeah i mean the

00:00:49.860 evidence is pretty damning at this point yeah and how rape is wrong uh we're gonna talk about

00:00:55.980 albertan independence and the partition of canada yeah uh and the woke one versus woke two

00:01:02.940 controversy which is a really annoying controversy i'd say it's not really a controversy in my mind

00:01:08.540 but a lot of people are talking about it and i think it's worth mentioning it

00:01:12.260 because i'm sure that you are going to have uh come across conversations using the two terms

00:01:18.980 and yeah it's important to anchor us back to reality right we have islander number six

00:01:26.500 1499 the sixth issue of our great magazine and remember that friday the 28th of august

00:01:37.240 probably when it's gonna yeah stocks are gonna run out it's been selling really well and obviously

00:01:41.620 it's a limited run of the magazine we're all very proud of the essays in it and rory's artwork and

00:01:47.420 it's wonderful to support physical media and honestly as well one thing we've had a you know

00:01:53.540 above average i think people have reaching out and complimenting us for this particular article

00:01:58.180 and that particular article so people have been really happy with it and we're really grateful

00:02:02.580 for all those comments because they mean a lot right and it has um great articles inside one

00:02:09.740 interview from rory of the economist michael hadson and also i will say this again because

00:02:15.840 brother luca i believe in you all right i think your article about some wise gamji is absolutely

00:02:22.320 great oh thank you it's very kind and i'm really looking forward somewhere it made someone cry

00:02:26.640 so and i think that was meant as a compliment in a good or a bad way in a good way so

00:02:32.640 right okay didn't mean to now also let's bear in mind this is only 14.99 what's happening here oh

00:02:39.600 sorry that's me yeah okay okay let's just move forward we also have a real politic about uh

00:02:47.440 schmidt and liberalism with for us and ronald dodson no it's not going to be for us and me

00:02:53.680 on the on the boxing ring about liberalism and we have something extra yeah okay we're on our

00:03:00.480 fourth and final week of uh mining rory's exploration of child harold's pilgrimage by

00:03:06.640 lord byron and in the final canto this is byron in 1818 walking around florence and venice and rome

00:03:14.400 uh contemplating his own life and legacy and the legacy of civilizations as well

00:03:19.840 and so there's a lot of themes that we hear on the more small c conservative or traditionalist

00:03:26.000 side of the aisle that we think about in terms of the span of civil civilizations which i think

00:03:32.400 comes across very very keenly and with a great amount of wisdom in byron's work so um if you're

00:03:38.720 interested then rory and i have now got a four-part series the longest series on chronicles discussing

00:03:44.880 this particular piece of literature so do go check it out awesome thank you very much right

00:03:51.200 so let's see what the next link is about right okay so brother luca i have to mention that the

00:03:59.920 government is issuing some leaflets that give guidelines to conduct to good conduct

00:04:08.880 especially what is expected of asylum seekers yes incidentally though it is worth noting that

00:04:15.700 the government never felt the need to put such leaflets together as kind of a moral guideline

00:04:22.380 for all of the Ukrainian asylum seekers that turned up in Britain right they didn't need

00:04:28.080 explanations for how to treat women and how to uh you know be safe and maybe engender some trust

00:04:35.020 with the public um but i guess uh people from different places are in fact different well

00:04:41.760 they absolutely are different and it's really interesting discussing this because there's 0.53

00:04:46.340 obviously the line well this is stupid of course but i think there is something extra to see here 0.98

00:04:53.100 and i'm sure people will have heard by now the sort of dismissal of it as just stupid but 0.86

00:04:59.660 it's worth pondering what lies behind it so i want to start with some of the data we can find here

00:05:07.740 by a casual scroll on the house of commons library the uk parliament website so it says here asylum

00:05:16.700 faq asylum seekers in the uk common questions in 2025 that was published last year 16th of

00:05:24.700 september 2025 right so why are people who arrive by small boat allowed to stay in the uk

00:05:32.860 almost everyone arriving in a small boat claims asylum under uk law which reflects the un refugee

00:05:40.140 convention someone with a pending asylum case cannot be sent back to their home country so

00:05:46.620 all one has to do to claim to stay in the country for until further notice is to arrive in the

00:05:55.340 country yes and then you can just make up any bs claim that you want i mean that woman who was um

00:06:02.200 on lbc the other day calling in she just said yeah there was this guy i was you know working

00:06:07.280 with who was one of these asylum seekers uh you know claim claim to be gay and uh two months later

00:06:13.840 evidence to the contrary presented itself but once you just make the claim what you said how do you

00:06:18.660 it's just your word against theirs and unfortunately the entire industry at this point and it and it is

00:06:24.900 an industry uh i just determined to keep all of this going because there are a lot of you know

00:06:30.220 invested interest in its continuing absolutely right so it says there if the person's claim

00:06:36.500 is accepted they are granted refugee status or humanitarian protection status which gives them

00:06:41.880 legal residence in the uk if the asylum claim is refused the person can legally be removed

00:06:48.160 uh here is where we will have to talk about that in practice removal may be difficult if their home

00:06:56.280 country does not cooperate so we have the uk government saying essentially that if you arrive

00:07:03.300 in the uk um your country has the your country of origin essentially has the final stay so if you

00:07:13.940 come let's say from pakistan and you fail to claim your asylum claim is refused but pakistan says no

00:07:22.260 basically pakistan comes and revokes the asylum claims verdict says we don't we don't even want

00:07:29.020 her own people back actually yes so it doesn't matter what happens in words what happens in

00:07:35.780 practice is essentially pakistan gets to say if someone with an asylum whose asylum claim

00:07:42.940 from pakistan is refused can stay in the uk or not so um and this leads to a new reality where

00:07:53.340 a new situation where essentially the dangers of multiculturalism can't be hidden any longer

00:07:59.700 because it's one thing to issue to say well everything is great only the far right is talking

00:08:08.660 about the the cultural differences to such an extent far right leading the way in moral discourse

00:08:16.340 as usual we recently had guidelines from the uk government that mentioned the concern with cultural

00:08:25.140 differences and cultural preservationism as a form of online extremism and here we see the leaflet

00:08:32.820 from the uk government essentially echoing this so-called online extremism and obviously it's not

00:08:39.700 extremism but this shows a lot so what are they saying here they have asylum seekers being told

00:08:47.060 that rape and harassment are illegal in the uk a new home office booklet so

00:08:54.580 well they're entirely aware of the public grievances with all of this it's you know

00:09:00.020 some people think that we're shouting very very loudly but they can't actually hear us they

00:09:04.100 understand our our problems and our grievances with the current system very very well i mean

00:09:09.140 I mean, this is reflected in the fact that Keir Starmer gave the Island of Strangers speech.

00:09:14.220 This is also reflected in the fact that Dame Sarah Khan, who has been, you know, a creature of the British establishment for much of a professional life, you know, points towards the fact that the rise for demands for re-migration or people who are at least sympathetic to it is rising as well.

00:09:32.380 and the fact that the public buying larger absolutely um you know that well they just

00:09:38.380 find this entire affair with the illegals just monstrous and want them gone so they're very

00:09:43.460 aware of the problems um but they're going to meet you for a compromise which is well maybe 0.84

00:09:48.280 we'll give them some leaflets and that'll calm everything down no i suspect it won't you mentioned

00:09:54.480 the the l word leaflet and we are going to talk about this but look at look at this first of all

00:10:00.260 this image that strikes us first you know visually it says it is illegal to harass people

00:10:07.380 the uk everyone has the right to feel safe in public you must never make sexual comments to

00:10:14.340 strangers even as a compliment approach someone repeatedly if they're not interested

00:10:19.860 follow someone or block their path right let's dig a bit deeper into this nine page leaflet

00:10:30.260 page one out of nine understanding behaviors and expectations in the uk right we will talk a lot

00:10:37.840 about this word expectations because i'm sure that people in the government they really don't

00:10:44.100 have a mirror right because the first thing they should ask themselves is what sort of expectations

00:10:53.060 arise in the minds of those who are contemplating committing hideous acts when they see how 0.98

00:11:02.660 the British government is acting when it comes to major crime of multicultural, stemming

00:11:11.240 from multiculturalist policies?

00:11:12.640 What sort of expectations are created in their minds if they're told, well, the government

00:11:18.920 may refuse your asylum claim but if your country of origin doesn't want you back you will essentially

00:11:26.060 stay it means that they don't want to enforce any law essentially right let's go to page two page

00:11:32.640 two is table of contacts we have interesting subject here living in the uk gender equality

00:11:40.300 domestic abuse sex and consent respect in public and getting help right living in the uk

00:11:48.420 you are in the uk because you are seeking asylum we understand that coming to a new country can

00:11:54.460 be difficult and the laws and customs may here be different from your home country right so that's

00:12:01.080 an admission here it it doesn't sound particularly climactic because it isn't and we are talking

00:12:07.500 about it but they are talking openly about the issue of cultural differences which raises the

00:12:17.140 question what are some cultural discontinuities that make coexistence impossible and therefore

00:12:25.580 meriting action so that's an interesting question let's talk about gender equality so what do you

00:12:32.100 think luca is this what's important to to tell people about gender equality in the uk well i

00:12:40.180 mean well i mean apart from the fact that we're living in like this gynocentric uh system well

00:12:47.480 i mean honestly just the fact that i would just say that the the the whole issue of gender equality

00:12:55.360 is not something that you would have even bought into in britain merely a few decades ago in terms

00:13:01.460 of like what a woman's role is in society what a man's role is in society um and this is something

00:13:08.040 that has evolved very, very organically out of a lot of intellectual thought, you know, in the West

00:13:15.160 to suggest that someone can step into British society from sub-Saharan Africa and just adopt

00:13:24.840 these things in their own lifetime, just in every sense. I mean, it's just ridiculous. 0.98

00:13:31.020 And that's interesting because it moves from assimilationism to multiculturalism afterwards.

00:13:38.040 Because this is assimilationist language, this is the language of you have to come here, you have to abide by laws and rules, otherwise you're going back home, except if your country says no.

00:13:50.600 But this is the language of assimilationism.

00:13:54.180 But in practice, multiculturalism says something different.

00:13:59.380 It says do not assimilate, keep your culture, hence multiculturalism, a multitude of culturalism.

00:14:06.960 So this is something really, it annoys me, and I'm sure it annoys you even more.

00:14:14.160 Oh, to no end.

00:14:14.680 Because it annoys me to come, to see the government saying, well, assimilate and integrate, but also, no, keep your culture, but also if you commit crime, it's a failure of integration on the part of the host population and the taxpayer.

00:14:32.800 well but also it comes down to the thing where it's saying okay you either assimilate or you 0.89

00:14:37.520 have multiculturalism it's like option three don't come yeah we just actually don't want you

00:14:43.840 here in the first place you're not our problem to manage and you shouldn't have come all the way 1.00

00:14:49.120 across europe right so i don't know maybe i need some uh freshening up of my um understanding of 1.00

00:14:56.320 the expectations of what i can do here i'm sure you don't as here so women can work and earn their

00:15:02.320 money study and go to school or university travel freely choose who they marry or choose not to marry 0.99

00:15:08.480 make their own decisions about their lives what is expected of you you can't stop a woman from 0.73

00:15:14.960 working or studying control what a woman wears or where she goes stop a woman from seeing friends

00:15:20.720 or family make decisions for a woman without her agreement the thing is right but if your culture 0.66

00:15:25.760 says you should do this what's going to happen there well the thing is as well we know that 0.93

00:15:32.020 those sorts of things happen in the uk right now because of numerous foreign diasporas that have

00:15:39.440 come into the country and so by the british government saying this is the standard to which 1.00

00:15:43.860 we hold our society so well you're not doing a very good job of that then are you yeah given

00:15:50.680 that there are entire blocks out there that don't allow for these things and i'm not even

00:15:55.320 like making any sort of claim about um you know because obviously our society has uh problems of

00:16:03.540 its own in terms of how the fact that you know all of its institutions just basically run off

00:16:09.100 of like feminist uh modeling and presuppositions about the world uh so we definitely have problems

00:16:15.520 there as well but if this is the the litmus test for whether or not someone can come to britain

00:16:24.640 and be in some ways you know an assimilable citizen then by that logic we already have

00:16:31.280 millions of people here who don't and aren't domestic abuse what is expected of you you're

00:16:37.520 expected to treat your family partner and family with respect let them make their own choices

00:16:43.360 never physically or verbally abuse or control them this is particularly interesting because

00:16:48.240 respect is essentially a a trans cultural concept the question is how do you understand respect so

00:16:57.280 just the very the very felt necessity to include the word respect implies that they actually think

00:17:05.200 that there are cultures out there that tell you to not respect others and that's who they're

00:17:10.880 target yes but but also as well sometimes you enter a situation where giving respect to some

00:17:16.240 person kind of implies that you have to withhold respect from someone else yeah um and this is

00:17:23.440 exactly what we find in this in the government's attempt your successive government's attempts to

00:17:28.880 respect the claims of the asylum seekers they're withholding any respect for from the british 0.99

00:17:35.280 public who have said time and time again we just want you to stop the boats we don't want them in 1.00

00:17:39.760 hotels we don't want them put in our streets we just want them gone want them all deported this

00:17:44.960 is why reform are doing well this is why restore rises because this rhetoric cuts through and

00:17:51.300 speaks to a genuine anxiety in the public and yet sex and consent consent means both people freely

00:18:01.480 agree to sex or sexual contact yeah two people must agree here not just one both people must say

00:18:09.240 yes freely without threat or pressure someone can change their mind at any time even if they said

00:18:16.800 yes before so if you hear oops wrong hole maybe at some point you have to stop i don't know maybe

00:18:24.080 you need to you need to be told some really you know basic 101 stuff stuff if someone is asleep

00:18:32.640 drunk or unable to respond they cannot consent complicated stuff for the somalian mind

00:18:40.060 honestly it's just you know you know i'm getting annoyed here i i'm cautious a bit about time okay

00:18:48.120 respect in public yeah obviously yeah but on the one hand i'm saying why on earth are they doing

00:18:54.600 this the people who are disposed to act this way are not going to be prevented from leaflets no a

00:19:02.220 leaflet is not going to yes theoretical on the other hand and i'm not saying this to support

00:19:11.060 the government here but i want to you know to to further the discussion a bit is that

00:19:18.900 you don't make laws for those who are disposed to be law-abiding no of course not you make laws

00:19:26.020 for those who are disposed to break the law so obviously to those who are disposed to

00:19:32.840 abide by the laws any sort of you know very obvious rules are going to be to sound yeah

00:19:40.700 captain obvious where he was here why are you talking to me about it obviously but this is

00:19:46.360 something that is to function as a deterrent to those who are disposed to break the law but

00:19:52.560 I want to say here and I mean I have so many links and I don't think I have

00:19:57.580 Obvious come on. They had they really had to say this keeping children safe in the UK

00:20:02.800 What is child abuse do not engage in child abuse who needs to hear this? 1.00

00:20:08.280 Obviously people who come from cultures that are completely incompatible with Western cultures 1.00

00:20:14.240 but the point is here that 0.99

00:20:16.240 that if it is about expectations and incentives,

00:20:21.960 the government does say,

00:20:23.700 well, I am gonna treat you as someone

00:20:27.760 who is a responsible adult and is listening to words.

00:20:32.720 But on the other hand, what are they doing

00:20:34.300 to the people who violate this, these rules?

00:20:38.020 Because that's exactly where the test is.

00:20:40.320 The proof is in the pudding.

00:20:41.880 You are a serious nation and a serious government.

00:20:45.760 That's actually a government and a state issue, it's not a national issue.

00:20:49.900 You're a serious government if you enforce the law, and you enforce the law when people break the law.

00:20:57.100 So if you hand out these leaflets to asylum seekers, and you don't use force in order to punish those who violate these simple rules,

00:21:09.840 and you don't get the point across, forcefully if need be, that these rules are non-negotiable

00:21:17.200 and you aren't going to get crazy activists talking about, you know, the human rights of

00:21:24.240 rapists and mass murderers. Unless the state does this, all this is nonsense. All this is an image 0.96

00:21:32.580 of weakness. So this is step one and a step two is required. Unless step two is shown in action

00:21:40.600 where you show someone who is disposed to break the law that you are going to chase them and you

00:21:48.180 won't allow them to get away with it, yeah, they will take this as a message of weakness and they

00:21:53.600 will say, well, yeah, I have an incentive to break the law. Well, I mean, the entire thing, I mean,

00:21:58.720 the leafleting in particular, is just the perfect sort of, oh, let's just look like we're doing

00:22:04.960 something without actually doing something strategy. You can just say, oh, well, we put

00:22:09.540 together this leaflet, right, and so the next time that one of our British girls is raped,

00:22:14.320 what's the government supposed to do? Say, oh, well, I guess he just didn't read the leaflet.

00:22:19.340 I mean, when you say it out loud, it's utterly pathetic. 0.94

00:22:22.480 absolutely unless they actually carry through and crack down on crime all this is just 0.58

00:22:30.380 micromanagement of decline but the crime is breaking into the country in the first place

00:22:35.480 yes and so they all have to go yeah here the center for migration control says rather than

00:22:41.820 publishing leaflets the government should end its efforts to block the publication of migrant

00:22:46.280 crime statistics clearly know that the country is facing a big problem why would they put the

00:22:52.060 leaflet out but are going to court the plot to block the public from finding out truth and here

00:22:59.100 we have the greens talking about there is no evidence that violence against women and girls

00:23:04.220 is higher among migrants and people seeking asylum rather than the general population why are all

00:23:10.700 leftists then protesting blocking and they're blocking the publication of these crime statistics

00:23:18.380 if crime statistics actually showed that several migrant communities

00:23:26.780 weren't overrepresented in violent crimes they would publish it yesterday and they would say look 0.81

00:23:33.980 the far right is wrong the right the center right the center is wrong these communities are

00:23:40.940 underrepresented in crimes they would say and they would publish the data but they're blocking

00:23:47.100 the publication of the data because the truth is inconvenient for them well in the same way that if

00:23:51.580 they were they would be more than happy to you know have a transparency of data when it comes to

00:23:57.260 like economics or stuff like that if they were to say oh these particular ethnic groups are um

00:24:03.500 underrated or aren't earning as much in society then it's really important that we have this 0.61

00:24:08.380 ethnic breakup you know of the data so that we can address the real problems when it comes to crime 0.98

00:24:14.780 don't want anything to do with it because yeah we all know what it looks like yeah and we have to

00:24:20.540 basically remember remind people that fire wasn't discovered right now so when it comes to rules

00:24:31.820 the most important thing about rules is communicating the message the rules are going to be enforced

00:24:38.220 and i want to show you one thing here about the echr right this is the european convention of

00:24:44.540 human rights and we are going to talk about article 8 and this is the article that is

00:24:50.220 very frequently appealed to when people are saying that deportations should not

00:24:59.420 happen they say right to respect for private and family life it has two clauses now i want to read

00:25:05.740 you from this and tell me what you think about this forget that it's the echr okay for a moment

00:25:11.980 so claim number one clause number one everyone has the right to respect for his private and family

00:25:17.100 life his home and his correspondence clause number two there shall be no interference by a public

00:25:24.700 authority with the exercise of this right except such as is in accordance with the law and is

00:25:32.700 necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security public safety or the economic

00:25:40.220 well-being of the country for the prevention of disorder or crime for the prevention of health

00:25:46.140 or more for the protection of health or morals or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of

00:25:52.300 others how does this sound well it's not too convincing given the history of what the eu

00:26:00.700 in particular has been doing to its respective countries, and Britain as well for that matter,

00:26:06.700 seeing as we're still governed by the ECHR. No, the entire thing's a joke, obviously. If you were

00:26:12.540 to bring in mass immigration from the third world, that naturally puts your family at greater danger, 1.00

00:26:19.100 the public safety at greater danger, national security at greater danger. We've also seen 1.00

00:26:24.220 what it's done to the economy as well, creating an entire parasitic class of welfare sponges

00:26:30.460 and you know obviously crime and disorder kind of speaks for itself given the subject we're 0.96

00:26:37.080 talking about so it's ridiculous. So when they put the word accept here they're indicating

00:26:44.180 that they do not that the ECHR does not recognize any such thing as an unconditional right to remain

00:26:51.760 in a country but the issue is that they do not act according to the spirit of this law

00:26:59.920 frequently when we have headlines such as albanian criminals deportation halted because son doesn't

00:27:06.780 like foreign chicken nuggets and this is by the lbc not exactly a far-right network and let's see

00:27:13.540 here also nigerian avoids deportation because supporting gay rights puts him at risk why on

00:27:21.160 earth do we care about this why on earth so if someone says well i can't be deported because i

00:27:28.520 support gay rights and they're gonna harm me in the in my country of origin the proper response 0.63

00:27:35.420 should be well not my problem this is your problem um this should have been a an extra incentive for 0.98

00:27:44.280 you to not violate the law what they're gonna do to you back in your country of origin is no concern

00:27:50.460 of mine. Right, so this is what I'm saying is in accordance with the spirit of Article 8 from the

00:27:58.280 ECHR clause number two. This is the ECHR that the UK government frequently, not just Starmer's and

00:28:08.000 Ante Burnham's government, frequently appeals to. And yeah, it's completely in line with the spirit

00:28:15.100 of the echr but just like the issue is not with the echr as such but with the people entrusted to

00:28:24.380 interpret and adjudicate based on the echr this whole charade and leafleting where it says well

00:28:32.700 do not rape do not be disrespectful do not tell women what to do do not sexually abuse people

00:28:41.420 So, yeah, all of this is nothing unless the message is communicated that there will actually

00:28:50.060 be consequences.

00:28:51.700 But also, may I just say one more thing with regards to this, which is when you look at

00:28:57.780 this here, this is just a government admitting that it understands the character of the people 0.95

00:29:03.420 it's letting into the country, and yet it is still letting them into the country. 0.99

00:29:07.600 It looks at your daughter or your sister or your wife or just your grandfather, in the case of a horrible story that we had coming out of, I believe it was London, just last week, in terms of some old poor sod who was wandering home drunk from the pub. 0.99

00:29:26.440 They look at all of that.

00:29:27.880 They know the character of these people, and they are every single time just saying that the safety of your family, of their future, is just up to chance.

00:29:36.560 so it's just up to chance and and if it goes wrong too bad because they're gonna keep coming

00:29:43.440 right let's move to let me read some of the comments sure i had so many links and the time

00:29:51.000 yeah it always does it always does right so let me just do a fed post check 0.72

00:29:57.320 the hapsification says these within quotation marks asylum seekers are incapable of understanding 0.94

00:30:07.180 mathematical 3d shapes are not able to conceptually imagine these shapes spin in their 1.00

00:30:13.540 head they expect him they expect them to understand consent and based apes as the old 0.51

00:30:20.620 sorry yeah let me see yeah okay man wrote because they don't know whether they aren't supposed to 0.98

00:30:29.020 logic if they don't know they aren't supposed to why do they drag women into bushes to hide

00:30:34.960 why do they show knowledge of guilt well yeah yes um o chik door says this sounds too reliant

00:30:44.140 on magic words to affect change obviously and sigil stone 17 says so how does the don't be

00:30:51.840 abusey booklet work when one the the migrants who are prone to abuse can read english and

00:31:01.760 they can't read in the first place yeah i was thinking that but um oh well just more money to

00:31:08.040 spend on language translators, eh? All right, can we go to my segment, Samson? Thank you.

00:31:15.440 All right, ladies and gentlemen, so before we begin, I just want to let you know that we're

00:31:20.080 probably in our last week now of selling our limited edition run of Islander 6. Now, obviously,

00:31:26.260 we've been making these for quite some time now, and it's been a genuine pleasure of mine to

00:31:30.800 contribute to every single one of them with my ongoing Tolkien series, Marshals of Middle-Earth.

00:31:37.300 And in this one, I'm looking at Samwise Gamgee.

00:31:40.960 And one of the reasons why I chose Samwise Gamgee was because the theme of this particular issue was what needs to be done.

00:31:47.600 And Samwise Gamgee represents the ordinary man's idea of what needs to be done, right?

00:31:54.140 He's not remarkably wealthy. He doesn't have a great deal of power.

00:31:57.800 He is just like you or me.

00:31:59.760 You know, he just comes from a very ordinary background.

00:32:01.940 he looks at the state of the things that he loves and he just decides that it's on him to just put

00:32:07.740 one foot in front of the other and persevere and that's what we're all doing here in one way or

00:32:13.580 another you know as we see our own societies falling into decay and abuse and as well as

00:32:19.920 this one essay that I've got on Sam relating it to our modern times as well we also have some other

00:32:25.380 great essays in this particular one so do get your copy whilst you can because once it's gone

00:32:32.400 it is gone I'm afraid and if you want to get it again you'll probably be paying $500 on eBay so

00:32:38.240 do go and get it now. Now in terms of what needs to be done as well this is not just me talking

00:32:44.840 about the magazine this is something that people across the west are trying to figure out how to

00:32:50.400 do when they see the fact that their own governments are clearly not on their own side.

00:32:55.920 Now, we have an ongoing story in this country, here in Britain, all about the little village

00:33:01.360 of Piddington, which voted, as you can see here, 96% in favour of an independence ballot

00:33:07.320 to leave the United Kingdom over plans for an illegal immigrant base, you know, nearby.

00:33:14.440 And as a village, on the one hand, it's like, well, I mean, this is quite an inventive way to draw attention to the abuse, right? It's a really good way to generate media publicity. You know, obviously, not a lot that they can do to actually declare independence normally involves two wars going together.

00:33:35.540 and I don't suspect that the people of Piddington

00:33:38.400 have particularly many people in reserve.

00:33:41.400 But nonetheless, you can see that the fact

00:33:44.000 that they have even been forced into a position,

00:33:46.940 I mean, this reveals so much about the nature

00:33:49.540 between government and those on the ground

00:33:52.440 who are living with the government's decision.

00:33:55.620 Now, Canada decided to take this one step further

00:33:59.680 and they're much more ambitious than we are, you see,

00:34:02.220 Because where we're looking at the separatism of villages, they're looking at the separatism of Alberta, the entire province of Alberta.

00:34:13.780 Now, this is something, the Albertan relationship with the federal government is something that has definitely fluctuated over the many decades that they've obviously been together.

00:34:26.280 They had a real problem with one another in the 1930s, also in the 70s and 80s under Pierre Trudeau.

00:34:33.740 And it seems that they're also running into them now as well.

00:34:37.220 Now, just to talk about a little bit of background, there is currently a trade war going on between the United States and Canada.

00:34:45.040 and obviously you won't forget that when trump came back into power um you know for his second

00:34:53.100 term there was a lot of gloviating and chest beating about the fact that well canada is going

00:34:58.700 to become the 51st state there was also yeah right but not only that it it basically pushed

00:35:05.560 mark harney into government now this is not me suggesting that poliver would have been any great

00:35:11.960 savior from what i could see with my very limited knowledge he looked like a man who was kind of

00:35:18.840 trapped in the same mentality as our own conservative party um you know he didn't really

00:35:25.420 understand the need to reverse the mass immigration that trudeau had brought into the country he just

00:35:31.300 talked about lowering it uh on the economy he may well have been more sensible also from a western

00:35:37.420 perspective he would have been much more friendly to trump yes than to china whereas mark carney is

00:35:43.740 the exact opposite yeah i mean mark carney for those who don't know is a a total western elite

00:35:50.680 establishment stooge um you know he was at the top of the bank of england uh whilst brexit was

00:35:56.600 going on he was anti-brexit and now he found himself kind of being deployed through his

00:36:03.020 connections you know to the deep state into this position where he could become prime minister of

00:36:08.280 canada um but obviously this is going to this trade war is going to have a huge if it continues

00:36:14.940 on the trajectory it's going it's going to have a huge effect on the lives of both you know

00:36:19.580 americans and canadians on either side of the border but for the canadians this has resulted

00:36:24.740 in 50 tariffs on 20 billion dollars worth of canadian goods and carney has said that he's

00:36:32.120 going to match that dollar for dollar. The problem that you have of course is the fact that in terms

00:36:37.320 of a province like Alberta it may not surprise you to hear that some provinces of Canada put

00:36:45.240 more into the economy than they actually take out whereas other provinces take out more than

00:36:51.280 they actually put in. Well I've been to Alberta and I know that they're one of the I think they're

00:36:56.860 the most productive province it's where most of the economy is i may be wrong maybe that was in

00:37:03.740 the past but that's my impression yeah but um but this is totally different to say for example the

00:37:10.220 question of because we had uh just over a decade now of course the question of scottish independence

00:37:15.900 here in the united kingdom now i mean so much has happened since then but at the time

00:37:21.740 you know the british government spent more money on scotland than scotland put into the economy

00:37:28.140 right it was england that was actually um the economic powerhouse of the union uh and a lot

00:37:35.740 of the scottish plans for um how they would sustain themselves in this fictionalized uh

00:37:44.620 form of independence was very much intertwined with their ability to you know pour out oil and gas

00:37:51.660 Since the SNP went super, super woke and decided that it was all for, you know, green credentials and green renewables, obviously that plan fell away.

00:38:01.800 So how Scotland would do that, I'm not sure.

00:38:05.160 Canada, on the other hand, has another angle on this.

00:38:08.460 And I want to go through.

00:38:10.740 So there are going to be on October the 19th, there's going to be a series of questions put to the people of Alberta.

00:38:20.000 referendum or just question well it's it's it's actually even stranger than that because it's a

00:38:26.720 referendum on whether or not they want a referendum okay okay so there are it's a bit meta there's a

00:38:34.980 few layers here to it but um as you can see here from this one the referendum question to be put

00:38:40.940 to the electors and to which an elector who votes in the referendum must respond by selecting one

00:38:46.000 of the options shall be should Alberta remain a province of Canada or should the government of

00:38:51.880 Alberta commence the legal process required under the Canadian constitution to hold a binding

00:38:58.700 provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada. All cut and dry,

00:39:06.420 nothing ambiguous there. But there are going to be other questions with it as well and you can see

00:39:12.180 here that such questions will include, do you support the government of Alberta taking

00:39:16.820 increased control over immigration for the purposes of decreasing immigration to more

00:39:22.840 sustainable levels, prioritising economic migration and giving Albertans first priority

00:39:28.800 on new employment opportunities? Do you support the government of Alberta introducing a law

00:39:34.860 mandating that only Canadian citizens, permanent residents and individuals with an Albertan

00:39:40.360 approved immigration status will be eligible for financially funded programs such as health care,

00:39:46.380 education or social services. I'll tell you what, what a radical idea. Assuming that all Canadian

00:39:52.800 citizens in section C and permanent residents continue to qualify for social support programs

00:39:59.780 as they do now, do you support the government of Alberta introducing a law requiring all

00:40:05.180 individuals with a non-permanent legal immigration status to reside in alberta for at least 12 months

00:40:10.880 before qualifying for any provincial funded social support programs i won't go on but you can see

00:40:16.540 that yeah go on no right so i have several questions here because i have several friends

00:40:22.740 who are really for it okay especially from friends you met out in alberta and in alberta and

00:40:28.920 and online and almost all of them want this okay because they're incredibly demoralized when it

00:40:35.700 comes to canada and the progressives right um so i have several conflicting views about this

00:40:45.080 because on the one hand i think that you know we we frequently see this we frequently see for

00:40:51.000 instance in spain where we have there is a thing who is is it catalonia yeah who is the

00:40:56.860 a particularly rich part that wants independence yes they love it yeah and they don't and the

00:41:02.860 others don't let them and i'm generally speaking against the idea of giving away land

00:41:09.060 most civilizations are to be honest it's also a huge huge l a huge defeat for a for a nation to

00:41:20.380 lose lands, especially when it's your own people who want to do otherwise.

00:41:26.380 And maybe if they want to do it, maybe they want the help of the US, they would

00:41:34.060 need the help of the US.

00:41:35.260 But generally speaking, you know, it's sad and it's difficult for me to say and I

00:41:40.260 don't want people to put too much on it.

00:41:43.820 But on the one hand, I think it's sad and that the response should be, well, no,

00:41:49.460 let's all take our country back. Let's take Canada back. But on

00:41:53.580 the other hand, I do appreciate that they are for decades,

00:41:57.020 really demoralized. And at some point, maybe, maybe, you know,

00:42:00.800 someone becomes a bit more demoralized and or realistic, it

00:42:05.060 could be realism instead of demoralization, and say, Well,

00:42:08.540 no, the others are completely fubar. They're beyond

00:42:14.600 redemption, Canada, and we need to take our own house into 0.99

00:42:19.040 account. Well, this is usually what it comes to, isn't it? Two irreconcilable directions of travel

00:42:24.120 just pitted against each other. Because, again, to draw it back to something I have a bit more

00:42:30.060 knowledge on, which is obviously the relationship between England and Scotland, the disposition of

00:42:36.020 many Scots is more left-leaning slash progressive than the English are. And they, I mean, for those

00:42:43.640 particularly in the snp they see someone like david cameron as incredibly right wing right and

00:42:50.660 all of this sort of stuff but but they they have their hearts set on progressivism and they're not

00:42:55.700 getting it quick enough and so they see in that case separatism as you know an acceleration

00:43:01.880 towards you know their autonomy so they can go away and do their you know ridiculous plans we

00:43:07.300 have the total inversion of that here what we have is an incredibly progressive technocratic

00:43:12.680 central government that the people of Alberta, those who are certainly in favour of independence,

00:43:19.740 don't want to get dragged along with, particularly when you see the people of Alberta being,

00:43:26.420 as I say, contributing so much to the Canadian economy, and this is being spent on places that

00:43:33.440 there's this equalisation of them. So their money is getting spent on Quebec, which is not putting

00:43:41.040 out as much into the economy um and also as well the fact that they're very disgruntled as you can

00:43:46.980 see here by this set of questions with the levels of immigration particularly into canada in the

00:43:52.660 past uh years under justin trudeau which was absolute betrayal and frankly the fact that

00:43:59.360 polyver wasn't standing on a you know um a platform of reversing it in the same way that

00:44:05.220 it would be sensible for you know restore britain as they do to say no we're going to reverse a

00:44:09.880 Boris wave, right? This is something really important because, once again, it's all connected

00:44:14.960 and it's not just about the actual heritage Canadians. It's also, of course, the logistical

00:44:21.020 and the pragmatic thing as well. And one of the things that we'll go to is that we'll see, in fact,

00:44:25.860 this is a little out of order, but we'll just go here now and make a point of saying, as of July

00:44:32.500 the 1st, 2025, Alberta's population topped 5 million. This was an increase of 120-ish thousand

00:44:40.040 new residents over the 2024 mid-year population. Alberta had the highest population growth rate

00:44:46.480 across the country, significantly above Canada's 0.9%. It's notable that with the exception of the

00:44:53.320 Northwest Territories, all provinces and regions experienced slower growth, and net permanent

00:44:59.140 immigration was the primary contributor to population growth, accounting for 43% of the

00:45:05.440 provincial absolute growth, while net inter-providential, provincial, sorry, migration, net non-permanent

00:45:14.260 residents and natural increase contributes roughly 23%. So down it goes. But the point is, of course,

00:45:21.220 if you are from an immigrant background, you're obviously going to, your first impulse is going 0.96

00:45:26.260 to be to move to the richer parts of Canada, the nicer parts of Canada. Now, obviously, Ontario 0.94

00:45:32.980 had the highest number of them. But again, Alberta didn't ask for this. They didn't want this. They

00:45:40.440 didn't want to see their own youth suddenly having to compete for housing and jobs and all of the

00:45:47.700 problems that it puts along their way. And so there are, you know, several reasons for that.

00:45:53.140 And, of course, Alberta has, you know, quite high bargaining chips when it comes to its own autonomy with the cases of oil and gas.

00:46:03.260 Now, for the sake of time, I will just run through the key takeaways as Canada Action present them here,

00:46:08.520 which is that Alberta accounts for over 90% of Canada's oil production and approximately 60% of its natural gas production,

00:46:17.520 making the province the undisputed heart of the nation's energy sector in 2024.

00:46:23.140 Alberta's total oil and gas production averaged approximately 6.7 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, up over 50% from its 2010 levels and a new all-time record.

00:46:38.120 And also as well the fact that this puts Canada in a place where, along with places like Venezuela and Saudi Arabia and Iran, it's able to compete incredibly competitively in the business of oil and gas.

00:46:54.260 Now, so they have things that the Canadian government would be fools to lose, certainly through the neglect of the Albertan people.

00:47:05.680 That's why they will probably try their best to prevent this from happening. And what we will see probably a severe, censorious crackdown of people calling for this. And I mean, to a degree, you do get it that it is opening a can of worms.

00:47:23.580 But we are not talking about, you know, the average village that gets an influx of, hey, we're going to send you 2,000 illegal migrants there because we have too many on this village over here.

00:47:37.300 And, you know, the villagers protest. 0.98

00:47:40.680 We're talking about arguably the industrial heart of Canada, definitely the energy production province.

00:47:49.980 Yeah, but I know.

00:47:51.720 The thing is that I see all of the struggle and the problems that the legal hurdles that would be created for this and how the international community would try to prevent this from a general perspective.

00:48:08.060 Oh, of course. And, you know, look, sometimes I'm obviously in favour of every component of a nation sticking together. Sometimes I think separatism is quite based. I mean, you know, on one hand, I was a Brexiteer and I wanted to break away from, you know, the political union of the European Union. And, you know, in Star Wars, Count Dooku obviously did nothing wrong.

00:48:32.180 But when it comes to questions like this, of course, there is a very real danger here that the fracturing of Canada would be a way for the Americans to obviously wedge themselves in and into this Canadian sector and use it as a ramp for whatever plans are bluster, Trump said.

00:48:54.600 There is a concern here about an overwhelming amount of American influence going into Alberta and being used as a bridgehead further into the rest of the country as well.

00:49:05.900 And why do I worry about that? Well, I worry about that because I, in a romantic sense, I like both nations and I want both nations to continue as they are and just sort out the problems that obviously lay between them.

00:49:21.400 But a lot of the pro-separation arguments are coming from people who are naturally, in their politics, very, very sympathetic to the MAGA movement. And it's not hard to see a situation where if independence was, I mean, apparently there have already been people who are high up in the independence movement, have already been meeting with Washington.

00:49:45.240 Now, that's not me saying that they're going to become the 51st state overnight. But there is something that obviously the Canadian government would have to consider in a very real sense. But as I say, I'm very sympathetic to many of the arguments I actually hear from people.

00:50:04.840 So take, for example, this chap here who was called Christopher Scott.

00:50:10.900 Now, Christopher, it goes through this article and it talks about the fact that as he walked around his cafe refilling coffee and delivering baskets of gravy-laden pouting,

00:50:21.300 Christopher Scott wears his politics on his shirt, Free Alberta, and he goes on to point out as well that the cafe patron stops Scott and shakes his hands.

00:50:32.120 nice to meet you with fans one says uh and scott who founded the pro-separatist group let's talk

00:50:38.780 alberta uh hopes enough of those fans will vote in an upcoming referendum that could set alberta

00:50:44.900 on the path to independence and he says the fact uh the facts point to an independent alberta being

00:50:50.340 far superior uh than what we're experiencing right now uh he spent two decades working in

00:50:56.360 the oil industry before buying the cafe in 2019 only to be ordered to close the following year

00:51:02.340 due to covid pandemic and to kept the cafe open despite the public health orders from the canadian

00:51:09.060 government and it became a rallying point for albertans who opposed the pandemic restrictions

00:51:14.120 which obviously as we remember were some of the most excessive the most draconian i mean

00:51:20.760 there's no other way to put it justin trudeau behaved like an absolute monster

00:51:25.700 when that was going on uh and he was put in jail for a short stint as a result of this and so yeah

00:51:33.600 i absolutely understand the rebellion in this man's heart i really do the other thing i've

00:51:39.020 heard from people in canada and people who have lived there in the past is that the overwhelming

00:51:43.920 majority of people are just completely oblivious to how uh the canadian liberals are destroying

00:51:51.740 canada i know well it's a huge country so i suspect for some you know this all use travels fast yeah

00:51:59.820 i i you know what correct yeah um so if we go on as well it's like well where do we actually stand

00:52:07.100 on this what uh what what is the likelihood seeming to be now this is uh i believe this

00:52:13.420 one was yeah this is back from 2025 um but it goes on to say well a lot of people have certainly

00:52:20.140 heard about it right this is something that is very much in the mind of albertan citizens right

00:52:26.140 they're very aware it's going on and they're actually very very engaged with it right as you

00:52:31.500 can see here 21 following it very closely 35 pretty closely um many have heard about it but

00:52:39.180 aren't particularly following it very closely but only six percent have said that they've not heard

00:52:43.660 about it at all that's in alberta yes this is in alberta so and then we get to the point it's like

00:52:51.100 well what is the likelihood of it actually happening and one of the things that i found

00:52:56.820 particularly funny about this uh was that um people from outside alberta in the polls i was

00:53:04.940 looking at found it more likely to happen than the actual albertans who were campaigning for it

00:53:11.020 But nonetheless, as I say, it is quite a rare thing because normally independence movements come from the left, right?

00:53:21.240 I mean, that's certainly the case when the example you brought up with the Catalonians in Spain.

00:53:28.340 It's a very left-wing movement. It's basically spearheaded by, well, I mean, it's a very communist place, Catalonia.

00:53:36.480 But anyway, the point is, from this side, these are people who are looking at the state of their progressive government and everything that it did in the lockdowns, they can see that things aren't changing, the mass immigration continues, Alberta continues to get short shrift, and so obviously they're looking for ways to approach this.

00:53:58.100 and we go into this part here where it goes on to say that well to better understand where things

00:54:04.980 stand abacus oh sorry that's the wrong one i'm reading from uh goes on to point out joseph heath

00:54:10.980 a political philosopher at the university of toronto said that davis's uh positioning fits

00:54:16.600 with in the long history of separatism on alberta's populist right starting uh starting with

00:54:23.360 the social credit movement in the 20s and 30s and saying that the root of it had it in such

00:54:28.840 and the movement which sought to free individuals from oppressive economic systems via the issuance

00:54:34.560 of universal-based kingdoms rose to prominence in Alberta and elsewhere in Western Canada

00:54:40.040 during the Great Depression. But obviously we're nearly 100 years on from this and it's being

00:54:47.260 animated by very very different principles now i think essentially uh these separatist movements

00:54:54.840 first of all i'm generalizing here obviously each separatist movement is distinct but

00:55:00.280 there are also dangers there that people who try to play divide and conquer against you

00:55:05.340 are trying to infiltrate them and push them forward but on the other hand and i do

00:55:13.020 sympathize with with the albertans here is that you can also have people in your government

00:55:19.580 who are completely against your nation and they are trying to play divide and conquer

00:55:25.240 within your own nation so it's really sad that this has uh come to this i i i genuinely do just

00:55:32.060 see the entire thing as a real tragedy because as i say i don't want to see the partitioning of

00:55:37.460 canada actually um now right now it seems that the independent support holds at about 30 of course

00:55:44.700 this is just called according to particular polls and um canadians listening will know better than

00:55:50.780 me uh how legitimate their polling is um but even if that okay so 70 by a wide margin want to stay

00:56:00.040 and don't want the referendum on it etc etc but to have 30 percent of your population

00:56:07.980 actually feeling like no we don't want a relationship a political relationship with

00:56:16.080 the canadian government i mean it's pretty big it's really it speaks to a lot of discontent

00:56:22.100 it is big and it shows that there is right there is uh you know an important uh level of discontent

00:56:29.620 there but uh it's not like 50 so if if if support if the polls are accurate and support is 30 it's

00:56:39.300 still pretty low but if you were carny you would want to be giving alberta some concessions you

00:56:46.940 would want to be really negotiating with them of course to to figure out a way forward because

00:56:52.700 you know if it's 30 now and this has come from a very you know what if i were carny i wouldn't try

00:56:58.660 to to do that i would try basically to to to crush the movement somehow oh well normally because

00:57:06.980 yeah but normally crushing movements kind of engenders i'm not saying that this is what

00:57:11.860 happened i'm saying if i were in carny positions because if you have a 30 percent speaking for

00:57:18.420 something in alberta and you act as if they own alberta they have already won essentially so he

00:57:27.300 He is in a, it's not like 90% of Albertans want this or 70% and he is way more interested

00:57:35.800 in doing this and appearing as if he's meeting them halfway.

00:57:40.860 Sure.

00:57:41.440 He has the argument to say now that I don't have to meet you halfway.

00:57:45.820 Yeah.

00:57:46.480 And I'm not saying that this should happen.

00:57:47.920 I'm saying how I would think if I were in his position.

00:57:51.540 Well, I mean, to be fair to you, that's exactly how the British state has dealt with the Scottish

00:57:56.760 uh question obviously since their referendum just know had it once like you're illegitimate now

00:58:03.100 we're not that's how people think in these positions well for obvious reasons uh but so

00:58:08.840 for the sake of time we'll just quickly conclude with this because i do want to go through the

00:58:13.260 fact of the matter is we still have two months to go uh before the referendum on whether or not

00:58:18.500 there should be a referendum is held um but it is very interesting to to hear them speak here so

00:58:24.980 So Donna Kennedy-Glantz, who's writing this article, she says,

00:58:29.340 I remain one of those flag-waving Canadian first Albertans who intends to vote option one on October the 19th,

00:58:37.500 that Alberta should remain a province of Canada.

00:58:40.000 Yet because of voices like Keith Wilson's, who advocates option two, I am far from complacent about that outcome.

00:58:47.220 Polls continue to show separatists in the minority, but their campaign is organised, professionally executed,

00:58:54.360 and focused on converting the undecided.

00:58:57.540 Wilson is co-founder of the grassroots Let Alberta Decide campaign,

00:59:01.860 a registered third-party advertiser with a $607,000 spending limit.

00:59:12.120 He says the group has raised approximately $425,000 so far, with an average donation of about $100.

00:59:27.360 And he describes it as a digital-first operation that's heavily invested in AI-driven targeting,

00:59:33.140 delivering distinct messaging to different groups, a middle-aged couple earning $400,000 a year,

00:59:38.580 the 22 year old struggling with his rent and car insurance and so it seems to be a very very

00:59:46.020 modern form of campaigning you know obviously hinging upon ai technology as well and also as

00:59:52.980 well something that as he says isn't so much being run on the distinction of the party lines as well

00:59:59.780 says it's an interesting experiment as to whether or not a major political decision can be affected

01:00:05.460 outside of party structures so obviously we'll continue to follow this i'm obviously not going to

01:00:12.100 come down on one side of all the other that's for the canadians to um to obviously decide i have

01:00:18.660 sympathies of both persuasions but uh yeah interesting times ahead and i do hope that

01:00:25.780 the canadians can figure out something that's best for all um do you want to read some of them

01:00:32.900 carefully after a no i'm just gonna go for it i'm just gonna uh sigil stone two dollars says

01:00:39.660 the u.s should have canada as we originally should have even if uh we take it piece by piece

01:00:45.780 we're winning the war of 1812 after all socket lime is very funny uh but they told you no and

01:00:52.180 you should respect their answer no means no yeah said in the first segment uh that's a random name

01:00:57.980 says the reason alberta has to pay for poorer quote-unquote provinces like quebec isn't because

01:01:03.080 quebec is actually poorer we're sitting on the mountain of resources but environmental laws

01:01:08.020 prevent us from using them well yeah yeah and that's the other thing as well obviously the

01:01:13.220 albertans are really irritated by a lot of the net zero legislation that's been uh forced on them

01:01:19.820 he also says um british columbia is canada's comifornia alberta is canada's texas and quebec

01:01:27.820 is canada's state of new york florida about 40 percent of canada's economy is just government

01:01:33.680 jobs the government is impoverishing us yes same here man same here he also says the two quebec

01:01:39.980 independence referendums make quebec no longer be the richest province because lots of big

01:01:45.300 businesses left for ontario be careful what you wish for alberta and for one dollar jdk

01:01:52.880 uh moody uh says i've been a fan fan of carne since his speech at davos hyper realist statesman

01:01:59.760 who is doing a fine job diversifying the economy well we all have our opinions i just want to say

01:02:06.080 quickly for those of you watching us that i've been to canada in calgary which is in alberta

01:02:13.040 and it was very very very amazing i was very happy there right so we are going to talk about

01:02:20.800 the woke one versus woke two controversy this debate that several people in the progressive

01:02:27.840 sphere are talking about and we will talk about whether it makes sense or not and whether it's

01:02:36.560 pure tactics or whether there is some merit and substance behind it but before we do that

01:02:42.320 we have islander number six the sixth issue of our great magazine and definitely purchase it

01:02:50.640 this is only 14.99 and this is the most probably the last week we are selling it i've been told

01:02:59.440 i've been reliably told as i said that friday is going to be the last day where we are going to

01:03:04.880 sell it so definitely buy it now and i've heard that uh previous issues of islander are really

01:03:12.720 uh tough to find and really expensive to find elsewhere oh yeah because they're aging like

01:03:18.160 fine wine they do not like vinegar if you remember the pop fiction reference so yeah they definitely

01:03:25.920 purchase it now because it's going to be much difficult to purchase it later right let's go to

01:03:31.520 woke one and woke two so Luca this is AOC I know who she is nice to meet you yes and I must say

01:03:43.300 because you know I'm I have the Mediterranean factor yeah yeah so I can get away with saying

01:03:49.360 some things right that she does look a bit revamped yeah well I mean she's been through a lot hasn't

01:03:57.580 she she's i mean we're at the point now where she's been i mean she was there in woke one of

01:04:02.060 course um and we've had one yes so what about second woke but um i mean it'll be i mean there's

01:04:08.440 been all sorts i haven't really kept up an awful lot i must confess over recent years but i know

01:04:13.740 there was talk about her making presidential runs and her being the next generation of a democratic

01:04:18.800 party so i'll be interested as you take me through this segment right on how she's been you know 0.96

01:04:24.940 reforming her image right so definitely uh there has been an attempt to reboost her image and 0.93

01:04:31.540 present her as one of the major contendants for the for the presidency in in the future if not

01:04:38.680 2028 not uh not long after that she's still young yes so in this abc news interview she said

01:04:48.960 essentially she repeated the words of another activist friend of hers woke one was crazy

01:04:55.660 and she tried to get some distance from woke one but yes i will say that in some cases she's trying

01:05:05.540 to um she's trying to lead us astray with her looks but in this case she isn't succeeding

01:05:14.580 cannot be tempted yeah cannot surrender yeah so i see samson's mannerisms behind the camera i'm

01:05:22.260 staring at right oh hey man you're right right so good man okay he gives us a thumbs up so i will

01:05:28.220 say that she does claim that there's difference between woke one and woke t and it's interesting

01:05:35.140 to see what she means by this because she says in this interview that in the past she made some

01:05:42.820 comments about defunding the police and that she went a bit too far well obviously as a community

01:05:50.400 the whole country went too far you do want to have the police to persecute your political opponents 0.62

01:05:55.360 yeah commies need police too right it's like saying yeah we'll abolish the press but yeah of 0.75

01:06:01.740 course we want pravda right okay um she said something of the sort and she refused to endorse

01:06:09.920 francesca hong francesca hong lost the democratic primaries to the moderate democrat i think she

01:06:18.640 was in wisconsin we did a segment about her two weeks ago the segment was called the sinister 1.00

01:06:23.780 agenda francesca hong this was a mental asian woman who talked about basically what cautioning 0.99

01:06:30.560 her own mixed race child yes against whiteness she wanted to cancel thanksgiving and also said 1.00

01:06:38.360 that she is in proximity to whiteness

01:06:41.660 because she has a white husband

01:06:43.260 and their offspring is half white.

01:06:46.780 So she said this and yeah.

01:06:49.100 So AOC didn't endorse her.

01:06:52.880 She lost.

01:06:53.860 But she did campaign with Abdullah El-Sayed in Michigan.

01:06:58.340 Oh yeah.

01:06:59.000 And he won the Democratic primaries.

01:07:01.180 So we will talk a bit about Abdullah El-Sayed

01:07:04.220 and whether AOC's attempt...

01:07:06.560 Strong American means.

01:07:07.440 aoc's attempt to draw a wedge between woke one and woke two actually has any merit or not so

01:07:13.540 here is this guy chi ose who said woke one was crazy and he shows a picture of tanzanian

01:07:24.040 can you remind me of her name nancy pelosi yeah tanzanian nancy pelosi bending the knee

01:07:31.320 here and this is that one one was crazy and this sort of initiated a discussion in woke circles

01:07:38.140 i've heard that this is um older than 2026 that this dates back to 2024 and discussions within

01:07:47.260 left-wing circles post trump victory right so let's see here what does woke one even mean this

01:07:55.180 This is Mother Jones by Alex Ngaien, reported by her as Democrats seek to define a new era

01:08:01.780 of progressive politics, the struggling to reconcile the rhetoric of the recent past.

01:08:08.240 And here we have AOC campaigning for Abdul El Sayed.

01:08:12.340 Abdul for US Senate.

01:08:14.560 Right.

01:08:15.560 So, AOC invoked the term Woke One during her Sunday interview on ABC News this week to

01:08:22.560 refer to rhetoric many progressive circles used during some of the social movements of

01:08:28.420 the late 2010s, but instead of engaging with them in a 2026 context, she dismissed them

01:08:35.560 as ideas of the past.

01:08:37.900 If you missed it, the New York Congresswoman backed away from some of her previously stated

01:08:42.500 positions, such as defunding the police, in her interview with ABC News' Jonathan Carl.

01:08:49.200 said that many lawmakers and activists only used that rhetoric during the pandemic there was a huge

01:08:54.720 opening of the overton window sorry can i just stop at that there was a huge opening of the

01:09:00.000 overton window yeah but normally the reason that you push the overton window is because you want

01:09:06.180 to put it in people's minds that you're nudging them towards some you know end objective and so

01:09:14.400 like oh we were just saying defund the police to move the overton window yeah towards defunding

01:09:20.440 the police yes like obviously so the question is here why is she doing this is she doing this

01:09:26.260 because she wants to have a sort of um universal appeal among the democrats because that would 0.98

01:09:33.740 make sense because she would simultaneously flirt with a moderate vote but also with the

01:09:41.380 dsa vote where here she's seen with campaigning for abdul el sayed and she does have this sort of 0.84

01:09:50.180 fiery um presence and she does try to portray herself as the new phase for progressivism

01:10:00.180 so it's a way for her saying that well i'm gonna boost my appeal to not just have the vote of the

01:10:10.260 DSA and the people who vote for Abdullah el-Sayed, but also for the moderates. So

01:10:14.980 it seems to me, and I will say this out in the open, that there is no distinction between woke

01:10:20.100 one and woke two. It's all an issue of tactic. It's all an issue of saying, well, yeah, there

01:10:26.700 were some of these radicals there, and yeah, they did. I want their vote, so I'm not going to

01:10:35.360 disavow them but also i want the vote of the non-radicals because in some cases they're 0.98

01:10:40.800 winning such as in in wisconsin where the moderate democrat won the lunatic democrat so it seems to

01:10:50.860 me that she is trying to to appeal play both camps yeah there is no distinction there in wokeness i 0.89

01:11:00.100 didn't suspect that she spent the past few years de-radicalizing herself out of commie politics i

01:11:07.300 i just assumed yeah as it seems here she's perhaps just willing to um lie a little easier

01:11:15.020 than she used to um so there's an interesting asymmetrical relationship here because she

01:11:21.240 hasn't disavowed the dsa but some members of the dsa that is the democrat socialists of america have

01:11:28.560 taken their distance from them they say ocasio cortez is no longer endorsed by the democratic

01:11:35.180 socialists of america's national political committee so that's the issue with the very

01:11:42.100 radicals unless you give them salt and water they say you're a traitor so they portray

01:11:46.960 right now ase as a sort of hitler-like figure so that is the case but on the other hand i think

01:11:56.020 she is smarter than them and that doesn't mean that she is less dangerous than them yeah obviously

01:12:02.920 the lunatics are incredibly dangerous and i don't think that you know the moderate democrats are

01:12:09.520 as bad as the extremist democrats but i think she is trying to play both sides here and that

01:12:17.060 there are dangers there because in if this is what she does she's unleashing something that 0.99

01:12:24.900 is going to bite her in the future.

01:12:28.980 And to be fair, it already has been unleashed 0.98

01:12:32.260 because the Democrats right now

01:12:34.200 have people like Abdul El-Sayed, Francesca Hong,

01:12:37.440 gaining 40% of their votes in Democratic primaries,

01:12:43.720 which means that maybe she does this right now,

01:12:47.980 that in the future, if current trends continue,

01:12:52.260 I mean, Trump is doing some things about migration,

01:12:54.900 um carl had a really great segment last week about it but if the general left-wing tendencies

01:13:01.980 continue this 40 percent can become a 50 or 60 percent in the future and then aoc will say

01:13:08.960 if she goes for the let's say the 2032 presidency nominee she could say well yeah i didn't disavow

01:13:17.140 dsa well and also as well it'll be it'll be used as like a vindic vindication for the politics

01:13:25.460 it'll be used to say ah well you know the people came around the people of america finally came

01:13:30.660 around and came to the senses and decided that they wanted socialism right it's not because

01:13:35.300 you've swapped out the populations you know so that the recent arrivals have more hands on

01:13:40.980 on the direction of the political system.

01:13:43.480 But also, I don't know what your impression is,

01:13:46.700 but my impression is not that the Democrats

01:13:49.720 are getting less radical.

01:13:51.440 My impression is that the Democrats

01:13:53.680 have essentially lost their party to the radicals,

01:13:57.260 and they just haven't understood it yet.

01:14:01.140 Well, the old neocons are dying off at this point

01:14:03.880 from both sides, from both parties,

01:14:05.940 the Democrats and the Republicans.

01:14:07.540 And so we are going to get to the point

01:14:10.000 the next 10 years where there is the the younger generation are going to start stepping in to fill

01:14:16.380 those positions but right so here we see AOC campaigning with Bernie Sanders and Zoran Mamdani

01:14:23.760 I don't know if if the Democrats 10 years ago would would think that they would have a candidate

01:14:29.400 like Mamdani for a mayor of New York City and also if you check the kind of rhetoric their

01:14:36.420 their rhetoric it's not any less radical than woke one no it's again the same race baiting nonsense

01:14:42.440 that talks constantly about human rights for refugees and criminals and constantly says well

01:14:49.180 yeah but someone has to pay the bill and that is for americans to do so the american taxpayer

01:14:54.120 white americans yeah white americans also who would have thought that new york city the financial

01:15:01.060 capital of the world would have a would elect a openly communist mayor who also said online 0.83

01:15:10.980 in another podcast that he doesn't identify as american but this is how he's gonna fool

01:15:20.420 the liberals there is nothing non-radical about this so the whole kind that aoc is playing here

01:15:28.640 holding his hand while he said that while he openly said that this is how i'm gonna fool

01:15:35.560 people like aoc and bernie saunders her and bernie saunders holding hands with momdani who won

01:15:43.520 the mayor's position of nyc it doesn't show doesn't show that the radicals are losing

01:15:51.040 in democrat circles no not at all no they're they're going to keep going and they're going to

01:15:56.720 keep stacking up wins i've no doubt one another person who is campaigning for zohar and mamdani

01:16:03.620 and joined bernie saunders and aoc in campaigning for zohar and mamdani is hassan piker ah the dog

01:16:11.600 shocker yeah who has made several claims such as that he has zero patriotic feeling about america

01:16:19.300 or that america deserved 9-11 they should be departed back to turkey right i will say this

01:16:25.180 because i want to uh tell you exactly what happened here in this audience he did say

01:16:31.260 that no america did not deserve the 9-11 and he got booed and i think that this is particularly

01:16:41.520 in bad form and that's to put it very lightly he started singing we're charlie kirk at the fear

01:16:50.400 in live tour which doesn't in a way communicate any sort of woke to or the new face of the

01:17:00.220 progressives being a bit more sensible than the old ones all we we see is that basically there 0.59

01:17:07.400 isn't a blm at the moment burning the country the us that that's all the difference right let's say

01:17:15.400 hear the new republic let me talk about the new republic article here who tells aoc well actually

01:17:24.780 aoc woke one did a lot of good things for this country oh yeah go on then congresswoman's remarks

01:17:30.900 sunday ignored that things like me too and black lives matters were positive positive developments

01:17:36.280 but it's clear why she said what she did and they having a long rant about aoc because that she

01:17:43.560 isn't expressing herself in as radical a manner as they want her to and they say but 2014-2020

01:17:51.240 wasn't just about the changing language or super far-fetched proposal. That was the time when

01:17:56.760 America finally started punishing powerful men who sexually abused their employees and police

01:18:01.960 officers who killed citizens. The protests after the killings of George Floyd and other unarmed

01:18:07.820 citizens and african americans were entirely justified and long overdue and they got millions

01:18:13.980 of white people on the streets and deeply invested in the cause of racial justice the black lives

01:18:19.700 matter and me too movements were much needed reckonings and how america dealt with issues of

01:18:24.680 race and gender this activism resulted in economic policy change too governments and private

01:18:30.960 foundations canceled medicare and student debt in part because of the growing focus during that

01:18:36.420 time on racial income and wealth gaps. Well that's one way of looking at it. There are other

01:18:45.100 interpretations as well which is that a bunch of race grifters basically got hold of the mind of 0.88

01:18:52.860 America and instituted a cultural revolution across society so that those very race grifters

01:19:00.880 at the top of it could buy mansions and swig champagne and gloat about how they're basically 1.00

01:19:06.200 swindled the entirety of society and let's not forget and i'll raise them here on the on the

01:19:13.600 me too issue and how it's important to punish those who you know to punish those guilty of

01:19:21.800 grotesque sexual abuse who is the one who repeatedly what's which side is the side that

01:19:29.740 repeatedly calls for the punishment of those who engage in this behavior and which side which is

01:19:38.340 the side that constantly tries to say well yeah okay you are guilty of it we put you behind bars

01:19:43.760 but we're going to do afterwards everything we can to make sure that you're going to get as light a

01:19:50.460 treatment as possible and we're going to talk about restorative justice and all this nonsense

01:19:54.800 but also as well there's no addressing of the fact in there that all of this stuff that they're

01:19:59.080 gloating about led to the second election of trump right that he actually got elected again

01:20:05.320 people were so sick of it under biden and if i may just say one more thing as well on the on the

01:20:10.920 question of me too it talks about this in terms of like oh well those you know really powerful

01:20:16.400 executives and everything it's like yeah okay fine like harvey weinstein and everything and

01:20:21.040 hollywood always been a cesspit of corruption and villainy etc but there are the second order

01:20:26.680 consequences that it inflicted on the rest of society and the dynamics between men and women

01:20:33.320 and one of the things that we saw is that it had an enormously negative impact on men just

01:20:40.200 approaching women yeah in the dating market in the office in all across all strands of society

01:20:48.440 yeah sorry no let's say let's say the the obvious thing here when they they talk about this in a

01:20:55.400 very virtue signaling way defunding the police isn't exactly doing wonders for safety no and

01:21:01.960 the fact that they now take distance from the statement means that they understand what they

01:21:06.760 did but they did it because they wanted to virtue signal and in their heart they still want it just

01:21:13.160 optically they've decided it's not for the best but i will say that i will gladly admit that woke

01:21:20.920 one gave us body cams you know what i'll give you that yeah right so let's move forward here we have

01:21:28.520 several i'm cautious a bit about time we have several articles here talking about what aoc

01:21:33.720 allegedly gets right and what she gets wrong about woke one from a left-wing perspective

01:21:39.560 but i'll just tell you what i think about it we're not too rushed for time i mean it's not like

01:21:44.520 fear us has to be oh okay great awesome awesome awesome okay so i think it's a good opportunity

01:21:51.960 to talk about you know what wokeness is and why um personally i think it's not gonna go away anytime

01:21:59.560 soon because there is constantly a attempt there is a constant attempt especially when it comes to

01:22:07.800 progressive circles to talk about change and talk about novelty but what they're doing isn't novel

01:22:13.560 at all. So they constantly try to portray this, you know, we have entered the new phase of

01:22:21.100 progressive politics. All of that's a lie. It's the same thing. It's the same thing. It's just

01:22:26.860 the people are a bit different and the population mix is a bit different. And we have the second

01:22:32.940 Trump presidency now that the same movement is reacting to. So yeah, there's nothing new about

01:22:39.700 the woke movement, the woke number two movement. The whole religious approach to questions such as

01:22:49.800 race, gender, equality is still present. Remember that this is the wife of Tim Walz who said

01:22:58.420 about the BLM riots that she kept windows open to smell the burning tires during the riots because

01:23:06.920 she felt like that was such a touchstone of what was happening oh i want to inhale this this great 0.88

01:23:12.840 smoke no she's just unhinged and everything all of the corruption that waltz has been in um 0.54

01:23:19.560 obviously embroiled in as well with the somalians in minnesota is just repellent right so let's

01:23:27.560 before i show you the last links which i think illustrate how for instance in the uk

01:23:33.000 wokeness is far from gone let's start a bit with what it is right there is the whole thing with a

01:23:40.740 sort of slang term that started in black circles meant you know being alert to racial and white

01:23:48.100 supremacy but essentially the weight has been weaponized it's a way to be to push grievance

01:23:57.780 politics and grievance narratives in politics and separate the population in a hierarchy of

01:24:06.080 oppressor and oppressed groups and then among the oppressed groups form a hierarchy by the 0.88

01:24:12.480 intersectional calculus aka um not aka in other words if you're a black trans lesbian you're the 0.55

01:24:20.580 most entitled being in the history of the universe they are quite entitled aren't they 0.76

01:24:25.560 Yeah, but the whole thing is that, well, if you're a woman, you're oppressed. If you're black, you're oppressed. But if you're a black man, you're less oppressed than a black woman. So blackness and woman-ness are merging together. 0.62

01:24:42.840 And if you add then, you know, sexuality, if you're gay, you're more oppressed than straight. 0.70

01:24:48.820 And if you're also allegedly not the gender you were born in, you are even more oppressed.

01:24:56.160 And it's cumulative. And it's a way of playing oppression Olympics.

01:25:00.400 And the ideological framework for it provides a social capital that is very, very enticing to a particular type of person in society who doesn't perhaps have a great deal going for them and might decide to adopt one of these new woke identities, whether it be non-binary or trans or whatever it may be, in order to gain social credit amongst their compatriots.

01:25:29.180 Absolutely. And one of the reasons why I constantly said that wokeness isn't going away, when people were saying that the woke will be put away, is that if you look at the function of wokeness, it's the perfect tool to dominate spaces, whether workplace, whether in the workplace, in one's workplace, or in one's capacity as a citizen in the public sphere.

01:25:53.620 because if you have and you really need no diversity you can have a hundred percent white

01:25:59.660 spaces that can be ruined by workness because if you have subjective rules such as do not offend

01:26:08.720 people or do not be racist or do not be uh whatever there are no publicly accessible

01:26:16.800 criteria to to establish whether a rule has been violated or not it's like you never know whether

01:26:26.200 the person who says they're offended is wrong or is lying if all you have is just the situation

01:26:32.160 so it's the perfect tool to dominate a space whether as an employer or as a hr manager or

01:26:40.960 hr lady or as someone who is in charge of the news or has great political power so it it's

01:26:48.660 really such an such a powerful tool for for people to throw away so i don't think it's going to go

01:26:54.960 anywhere well no and um and also as well even if people are on the left are less verbal about it

01:27:02.320 now which i i do think on some level visually and verbally it has been toned toned down somewhat

01:27:10.020 certainly in britain but it's still baked within the institutions the entire premises

01:27:18.020 of woke ideology is still baked into how our society governs itself now and until those

01:27:25.420 things are addressed and reversed we're going to find i mean i mean what are these people really

01:27:30.800 really rebelling against at this point right so other than just tearing it all down i will give

01:27:37.740 you an example and i want to build on what you said before about social credit and when it comes

01:27:45.240 to adopting identities for the sake of saying that you're a victim and gaining status and being even 0.71

01:27:50.800 more entitled yes and if you're white the only unless of course you're like gay or non-binary

01:27:55.900 or whatever it is which obviously don't know if i'm allowed to say what i was going to say anyway

01:28:00.980 the point is if you're if but if you're white the only way that you can accrue social credit within

01:28:06.640 the logic of the movement is to become an ally for it and make yourself subservient 0.96

01:28:12.720 yeah to the wishes of the minorities become a cuck to just believe yeah just believe and not 0.93

01:28:19.280 just believe but also proudly announce how guilty you are in proximity to whiteness but when it 0.98

01:28:25.920 comes to the victimhood mentality that is being fostered when you are brainwashed that you're a

01:28:32.640 victim and you're trained to see racism everywhere and oppression and tyranny everywhere you are

01:28:40.800 allowed in a sense to use violence because almost everyone will say that you are allowed

01:28:46.880 to use violence when you are in self-defense so if you erect an ideology that constantly tells

01:28:53.360 people well you are in constant mode of self-defense essentially you're telling them

01:28:59.200 they are allowed to use violence yeah that's why the whole extremist extremist rhetoric of like

01:29:05.640 trans genocide yeah and all these sorts of things yeah uh no sorry disagreeing with one person's

01:29:13.540 self-conception or a part of one person's self-conception is not the same thing as

01:29:19.520 wanting them to be killed just take off the dress and put your own clothes back on right and i'll

01:29:24.500 just give you a recent example by the vigil for Jason Arday. Well, he was exposed for being a 0.92

01:29:34.640 serious fraudster, serial fraudster and fabulist. And Diane Abbott and Simon Woolley and other

01:29:43.620 people joined to say how he was lynched and assassinated by the mob. So you can't be

01:29:49.080 criticized. And we had the people you mentioned before. We had Bastani essentially apologizing

01:29:54.780 for telling the truth and other people in Novara media for telling the truth. And one thing to say

01:29:59.760 is that this won't go away in the U.S. anytime soon. And I want to remind people of the fact

01:30:08.820 that Trump did win. But bear in mind that his victory was not a landslide victory. That wasn't

01:30:16.500 a reagan versus monday victory or a nexon victory where they basically got almost every state he had

01:30:24.120 an iconic campaign trump i mean trump 47 right he had an iconic campaign against one of the 0.97

01:30:32.000 stupidest campaigns of all time oh it was died kamala harris's campaign where she couldn't even 0.95

01:30:38.520 read from a teleprompter white dudes for harris and still that wasn't such a uh landslide victory 0.99

01:30:46.100 it was what 20 she got 20 220 seats far too many far too many so wokeness is far from dead and

01:30:54.980 every person trying to tell you that it is and that the excesses of it have been a thing of the

01:31:01.540 past is essentially either lying to you or victim of their propaganda right let's read the comments

01:31:09.300 and go to the videos let me do a quick sigil stone 17 test thankfully the socialist movement in the 0.99

01:31:21.720 u.s is doomed to fail because its leaders don't actually believe their own bullshit they're just 1.00

01:31:27.000 grifters and the true believers are too stupid to lead okay that that was an okay post do we have 1.00

01:31:33.440 any do we have any videos i'm just uh samsonius i'll give you the mouse there you go it's yours 1.00

01:31:42.280 i'll back off i know when i'm beaten

01:31:47.480 one moment chat yeah no worries yeah yeah okay it's it's good when we take a few extra minutes

01:31:58.180 to listen to our people take time chill take time and listen to brothers and sisters steadier way of

01:32:04.600 life okay okay well after today's massive blackpilling i figured i'd submit a shiba inu

01:32:14.220 video yes as you may not be able to tell from her pause she's decided today was a good day

01:32:21.780 to go digging outside under the deck 0.97

01:32:29.620 she knows what she needs to do what a lovely dog she's so adorable thanks

01:32:35.740 Michael thank you for that wholesome video always love seeing pets and

01:32:39.700 animals I wish I could have one it's the only thing now that I'm really missing

01:32:45.100 Let's see.

01:32:50.100 This is Whippy.

01:32:51.100 It is. 0.95

01:32:52.100 Scampage!

01:32:53.100 Aw, mate, this is-

01:32:54.100 There's Captain Cook.

01:32:56.100 To get into the town, so I told

01:33:00.100 How I will drink!

01:33:03.100 seriously i miss it so much luca and chat you have to give me extra points and extra points

01:33:25.100 of love because i understood that's whitby yeah i just knew immediately without even looking at

01:33:29.460 the abbey yeah very very special place and i'm glad you had a good time there bonsall great the

01:33:35.600 funny thing is about the rda case is that he was guaranteed to land on his feet in the end

01:33:40.280 it's just that you know the left didn't want in front and center in the media anymore but they

01:33:45.380 would have given him some sort of six-figure salary uh sinecure ship at some ngo or charity

01:33:51.380 for diversity and it doesn't do anything the problem is he was such a fragile and egotistical

01:33:56.300 person that the idea of losing a little bit of status and not having people speak as glowingly

01:34:01.600 of him basically meant he'd rather choose death yeah there's something i think there's some a

01:34:08.700 really good point in that and also as well because of how enticing it was for the progressives to

01:34:14.860 make him into because it was about the narrative wasn't it it was about this guy who'd allegedly

01:34:20.680 not spoken until he was 11 etc etc all the way up to cambridge professor and it's like

01:34:25.880 and so him getting fired a result of perfect legitimate criticisms of his character well

01:34:32.400 that that wasn't supposed to happen in the story yes of course yeah but also his the work he had

01:34:40.940 the power was just exactly what you'd expect yeah and quite right as well i mean all those people

01:34:47.240 there uh protesting at the vigil and everything yeah these are people who would have just helped

01:34:51.640 him unconditionally if it had still been alive they would have helped him get into some other

01:34:56.680 profession that he was entirely unworthy of uh but yeah he couldn't take it next video mecca monday

01:35:05.240 it's tuesday a lot of those duck-billed platitudes we like to quote are actually trimmed down to

01:35:11.460 create the opposite of their original meaning the customer is always right is missing the final words

01:35:17.040 in the matters of taste similarly imitation is a most sincere form of flattery that mediocrity

01:35:24.260 can pay to greatness funny how language gets twisted to suit a narrative very well said

01:35:30.160 yeah well said uh quite true oh more go on then

01:35:34.480 Oh

01:36:02.560 Isn't that funny?

01:36:04.480 why aren't you laughing

01:36:05.820 yeah absolutely disgusting it is but you know what it's it's it's a bit uh trolling the audience

01:36:13.880 well yeah but we we did troll the audience a bit because you started saying i hope we don't see a

01:36:20.760 segment about jason or day and we did mention just that this is a week you you met you just

01:36:27.360 couldn't help you i just wanted to give you some homework right let's look at this okay

01:36:31.640 Sophie says I just love gimmigrants. I mean I'd be interested to see how many you have in Denmark because hopefully your country is a bit more sensible about that. 1.00

01:36:50.640 Well shit. 0.99

01:37:01.640 I much prefer your drawings to the protests, Sophie. 0.99

01:37:05.600 Yeah, that's not exactly a controversial statement.

01:37:08.300 No, but, oh, good Lord.

01:37:10.500 Well, I'm very sorry you're having to endure that.

01:37:13.240 Let's go to this one.

01:37:15.160 Something I notice about Christian denominations and Muslim groups 1.00

01:37:19.000 is that Christian groups will often go to great lengths 1.00

01:37:21.800 to apologize for every real or imagined evil

01:37:24.500 they might have committed in the past. 1.00

01:37:26.400 Muslim groups, they apologize for nothing. 0.99

01:37:28.780 and you'll see this in movies as well where you know the christian church will often be portrayed 1.00

01:37:35.080 as a den of hypocrisy and evil and the priests as pedophiles but muslims you'll never see a mosque 0.88

01:37:42.320 ever portrayed as a den of evil in a hollywood movie and imams are never portrayed as bad people 0.98

01:37:48.280 i think there's a lesson in that yeah and it's very interesting as well where there are exceptions

01:37:55.520 to the rule and you do see like random muslim voices coming out and disavowing any of this

01:38:01.220 stuff the point is that behind the actual organizations and institutions that the muslims 0.88

01:38:07.920 have set up across europe usually they don't they're very quiet on all of it and they're 0.99

01:38:13.020 obviously implicitly you know well it's all part of the conquest isn't it let's go to the next one

01:38:19.180 Freedom Festival Drone Show in Scotia, New York.

01:38:26.180 I'm coming to America.

01:38:29.180 I'm coming to America.

01:38:33.180 I'm coming to America.

01:38:37.180 I'm coming to America.

01:38:40.180 I'm coming to America.

01:38:43.180 I'm coming to America.

01:38:49.180 sorry i absolutely love neil diamond such a great singer looks like a great time great let's go to

01:38:56.140 the comments sophie live i'll be extra careful please take back this rapist no what did they

01:39:05.780 think was gonna happen here those leaflets just gave me no no square were flashbacks when i first

01:39:13.440 saw them derek power lord and master of chippies the one nice thing i can say about the pamphlets 0.89

01:39:21.180 you can finally tell the feminists see we're educating men about not raping and yes that's

01:39:28.360 damning with faint praise lord inquisitor hector x if the crimes were disproportionate

01:39:35.140 sorry, disproportionate, the leaflets wouldn't be necessary. Lancelot, sir, we've seen another 0.97

01:39:43.920 rise in rapes and murders, but we've distributed a pamphlet. A pamphlet, sir? A strongly worded

01:39:51.240 pamphlet. It was quite lovely. It had pictures and everything. This is so obvious, it's so

01:39:57.640 obviously the case that some useless employee wanted to say, well, yeah, I'm taking money,

01:40:05.140 And I am doing work, I just had this leaflet.

01:40:09.220 Arizona Desert Rat, I believe these were leaflets distributed during World War II

01:40:13.380 amongst U.S. soldiers, telling them that the U.K. was desegregated for the most part.

01:40:18.000 However, I'm sure the U.S. Army wasn't very tolerant of soldiers running around raping locals. 0.91

01:40:23.960 And Nick Taylor says, I'm surprised the government thinks these savages can read. 0.95

01:40:30.240 Yeah, me too.

01:40:31.100 Well, as I say, I think it's just so they can, oh, look, we tried.

01:40:34.840 We tried to do this thing.

01:40:36.400 From my segment, Alex Ogle says,

01:40:38.700 Luca Stelios, you need to look into how federalism is set up in Canada.

01:40:44.080 The provinces have much greater latitude to self-govern than the states

01:40:48.780 and anything that is set up in the UK.

01:40:51.000 Provinces even tariff each other to control markets internal to Canada.

01:40:56.280 That's how sclerotic the country is.

01:41:00.720 Well, it's very interesting, Alex.

01:41:01.920 Thank you for telling me, and I'll look into it more.

01:41:05.080 Starmer's fiery but mostly peaceful backdoor.

01:41:08.920 Great name.

01:41:10.280 Says, did Luca really just refer to Scottish independence as the Scottish question, 0.86

01:41:15.420 unfathomably based and long shanks built?

01:41:17.460 Well, thank you very much. 1.00

01:41:18.480 Thought you wouldn't notice.
