The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters #1499

00:00:00.400 Hello everyone, welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Seaters. It is the 4th of September

00:00:07.160 2026. It's a Friday. I love Fridays, especially Friday afternoons.

00:00:12.020 I'm a fine day.

00:00:13.100 And I'm pleased to be joined by Brother Luca.

00:00:15.460 Hello there.

00:00:16.000 And Brother Nick.

00:00:16.900 Good to be here. You sound like a radio drive time DJ. It is Friday, 4th of September. Great

00:00:21.840 to be here. What are you listening to today, guys? Is that kind of vibe?

00:00:25.560 I'll take this as a compliment.

00:00:26.900 i'll play some 80s bangers while you drive down the a whatever absolutely speed wagon only bangers

00:00:32.540 here right um we are going to talk about spain's mass protests against the far left government

00:00:39.620 that is wrecking the country how the secret ivy league awoke now yes even the secret elite society

00:00:46.360 the secret secret totally well which maybe you'd expect because the ivy league universities are

00:00:50.720 but it's just kind of insane so yeah yeah and we are going to talk about a serious matter which is

00:00:55.460 the struggle over the folklands.

00:00:57.180 They're at it again, I'm afraid, folks.

00:00:59.680 Didn't learn the first time.

00:01:01.380 Right.

00:01:03.220 Let's proceed.

00:01:05.480 It's a little over a month now since the invasion of Ceuta,

00:01:09.120 where 70,000 people crossed the borders from Morocco to the Spanish exclave.

00:01:15.320 And at the time, the governor of Ceuta called for a situation of emergency to be declared,

00:01:20.400 but the far left prime minister of Spain didn't think that this was particularly an emergency

00:01:27.100 situation. He didn't think that this was something to worry about. What's the fuss about is just

00:01:31.780 70,000 people crossing the borders. Well to be fair he didn't think millions landing on the

00:01:36.980 Spanish mainland was a threat so you can forgive him for being even less concerned about something

00:01:42.040 on the other side of the Mediterranean. Yeah the only situation of emergency in Sanchez's mind was

00:01:48.060 that perhaps people in the crossing would find it difficult so he thought that his border border

00:01:54.220 patrol and border force should help them actually cross in better it's like the meme with with king

00:02:01.980 theoden and uh someone from rowan telling him don't be racist sire the orcs are about to invade

00:02:09.980 and says don't be racist let them in right so here we have the bbc uh here article protests

00:02:16.780 in Spain against government's handling of Ceuta migrant crisis it's a beautiful thing to watch

00:02:22.300 because we have mass protests across Spain and I'll show you footage it's beautiful to watch

00:02:29.180 although the occasion is obviously sad but this is life Ceuta is unrecognizable at the moment

00:02:38.940 I hope they can turn this around but this is definitely not the image of Ceuta 2025 2024

00:02:46.380 the sota of the past look at this it's like the whole beach has tents of people slipping in and

00:02:55.420 the beach is not a beach that can host people who want to swim i don't know if this is the

00:03:01.100 particularly good beach to be honest but it does look like there is decline there well it shouldn't

00:03:08.460 be on any beach yes should they this isn't normal as far as much as the spanish government wants to

00:03:15.980 say this is normal it is actually not and people are protesting across europe and across spain here

00:03:24.220 this is in brussels now this is a rally in support of the people in sauta was it was held outside the

00:03:30.620 european parliament in brussels around 500 protesters and they say mainly right-wing meps

00:03:36.700 they gathered in solidarity with a spanish autonomous city so the fact that people in brussels

00:03:43.500 are protesting what is happening on the other side of the mediterranean in uh in sauta is

00:03:52.860 something important it tells us something no i was just going to say well what affects one

00:03:59.500 affects us all especially when you have an integrated european continent with frictionless

00:04:05.740 borders traveling across it but of course as well it's just um it's insulting to the dignity of

00:04:13.240 spain as a nation and the spanish people are quite right to say to their own government that we're

00:04:19.460 not tolerating it uh the only thing that i obviously wonder about is how many of those

00:04:24.420 people who are now protesting rightly across spain are actually actually voted in this government

00:04:32.140 that currently resides over it in the first place.

00:04:34.680 And this is something that you have to take into account

00:04:37.240 when you consider what party you're going to vote for,

00:04:40.500 which is that when these crunch moments come,

00:04:43.480 whether or not these seem to be people

00:04:45.480 with a strong enough will to actually repel these threats.

00:04:51.100 We have people in Souta protesting

00:04:53.640 and saying that their life has been significantly disrupted.

00:04:58.000 Here we have Angela, a young woman from Souta,

00:05:00.380 saying that she can no longer go to the gym she doesn't feel safe here we have another small

00:05:06.140 girl breaking down in tears at a protest in madrid telling a reporter that she wants to go to school

00:05:12.480 but she's too scared i wonder why she would be too scared especially if there are thousands of

00:05:18.680 people from an alien culture who have crossed the borders are into sauta and they're just staying

00:05:25.640 their intents yes um but bear in mind the left the radical left wants this this isn't something

00:05:34.800 that they don't want they absolutely want this here we have another young woman from sauta she

00:05:39.640 says sanchez must go and they all must be deported she calls for his resignation and she doubles the

00:05:48.440 claim for deportations weird there's so many far-right women now all across europe and britain

00:05:53.980 normal women they've all gone so far right weird isn't it yeah they've all been going to the same

00:05:59.420 secret meetings or something it's like they're all watching lotus seats or something

00:06:03.900 it's worth asking what happened and uh women and you know the far right was supposed to be

00:06:10.220 the anti-woman camp but now we see more and more women saying that they do want deportations it's

00:06:17.260 almost like something happened something right but uh you know the you know who is absolutely

00:06:24.460 unaware of what has happened or is aware but doesn't want to show it it's the person holding

00:06:30.320 the most useless job in the world it's the spanish minister of inclusion right so she looks like

00:06:38.200 someone who is definitely known in online circles they always look perfect for a job don't they

00:06:44.760 Right, and she says that she's called El Masais, she isn't called Epstein, has rejected calls for migrants to be confided over health concerns following the massive influx into Ceuta.

00:07:00.200 And Alberto Núñez Felijo, the party leader of Spain's largest party, Partido Popular,

00:07:06.420 says local doctors and nurses have warned him about tuberculosis, scabies, more than 450 cases

00:07:12.920 of gastroenteritis, and some chickenpox following the arrival of tens of thousands of migrants.

00:07:19.280 But the Spanish health ministry has said that this is racist.

00:07:24.200 they rejected mass confinement as unjustified and totally disproportionate saying the risk

00:07:30.920 of increased transmission to sauto's resident population is considered low so if someone eats

00:07:36.600 a bat across the other side of the world yes that's when you have to go on a lockdown but if

00:07:42.460 someone is right on your doorstep acting this way no you you aren't allowed to be to be anxious

00:07:50.540 i love this line what is contagious is xenophobia not this list of 17th century illnesses yeah not

00:07:56.800 the syphilis and scurvy no what's contagious is the xenophobia yeah what a line to come out of

00:08:00.980 when they're telling you that like all these illnesses are well she's to be fair to her she's

00:08:05.260 doing all that she can to help spread it isn't she here we have footage footage from the protests

00:08:10.640 It's Madrid, Salamanca, Tenerife, Girona, Jaen, Alicante.

00:08:18.220 It looks like many people are finally mobilizing.

00:08:22.980 It's extraordinary, I must say.

00:08:24.900 Yes, it is.

00:08:25.780 And I'm really happy about this because they need to wake up.

00:08:30.840 It seems to me that people on the center in European countries are completely oblivious with respect to what is happening.

00:08:38.380 and they need to be shaken and they need to wake up and doubtlessly the establishment is going to

00:08:46.440 say that all this is the far right talking to you all this is the far right whispering in your ear

00:08:52.520 at night but yes it's actually happening so it was invaded by 70 000 people some of them have

00:09:01.160 crossed the border back but thousands of them remain and although the mainstream media for the

00:09:08.820 first day tried to sail with along the waves of popular anger about it the next day they started

00:09:16.340 doing the same thing again and they said well the illegal migrants need blankets for the really cold

00:09:23.460 nights at Ceuta and I checked the temperature it was 25 degrees celsius I'm sure that was freezing

00:09:30.940 and many blankets had to be sold that night.

00:09:35.100 A new asylum center for illegal migrants

00:09:37.760 is being built in front of a preschool in Ceuta.

00:09:40.840 Now, I wonder why would people in, let's say, Ceuta

00:09:44.280 wake up and say,

00:09:46.080 well, this is exactly what I dreamt of.

00:09:48.500 This is exactly what I want for my life.

00:09:51.160 I want illegal migrant centers around me.

00:09:54.940 Illegal migrant centers guarded by people

00:09:58.160 who can't even guard the borders of Ceuta.

00:10:00.340 yeah why wouldn't i want that obviously i'm being ironic but uh here not everyone is unhappy

00:10:07.160 let's look at this woman looks like an ngo enthusiast she's dancing with illegal migrants

00:10:14.320 and they are encircling her in a doing a weird dance and i'm going to ask the question how will

00:10:22.220 this story end and even if it does end well for her it doesn't end well for other people because

00:10:29.800 believe it or not, NGO people aren't the only people in the world. They aren't the only people

00:10:36.380 who have rights or have a status of being a citizen. There are other people as well. And

00:10:44.660 there are other people who are routinely falling victims to the crimes of these

00:10:49.540 disgusting policies. And the whole question I'm asking when it comes to Sanchez and the way

00:10:56.920 he has behaved during the Sauta crisis is really simple. How would a traitor act differently?

00:11:05.080 Ask yourself this, because I'm sure that if you're in Spain watching us, you are not watching us

00:11:12.180 alone. You're also watching Spanish media, and most of that time is going to be given to Spanish

00:11:17.620 mainstream media, who are going to try and tell you that this is normal, or are going to do some

00:11:23.800 micromanagement of decline, and they're trying to sort of de-escalate and tell you that this

00:11:30.060 isn't as bad as it is. But here's your chance to hear someone who will tell you that this is as

00:11:36.040 bad as it looks like. How would a traitor act differently? I'm not going to give you an answer,

00:11:41.720 but this is the question that you need to ask yourselves. Here, the police is being used to

00:11:47.300 charge against the protesters in madrid it's okay to use force against protesters in madrid

00:11:55.060 so long as they are not left-wing protesters but it's a crime against humanity to use force to

00:12:05.540 control your borders according to the far left let's look here what's going on we have reports

00:12:11.380 coming from morocco moroccan journalists are spreading on social media a call for a large

00:12:17.620 popular march on september the 20th they call for mobilization to free sauta so i don't know how

00:12:25.020 credible this is but it's something that it should be taken seriously and especially when we have

00:12:33.120 seen what happened in sauta and when we know that the people who did this don't particularly hold

00:12:39.560 spain to a high esteem or europe to a particular admiration this should be taken seriously but

00:12:47.340 sanchez doesn't take it seriously sanchez wants to to say that nothing is happening and he wants

00:12:53.120 to deflect responsibility good old radical leftist like he is it's always someone else's fault and

00:13:01.220 you know what if you um you know for want of a better way to put it if you piss off enough of

00:13:06.520 the spanish population then there are always more illegals that you can just naturalize and get to

00:13:11.620 vote for you in there yes and this is precisely what he called for what he called for because he

00:13:18.260 claimed to the world he stated in public and that means in the entire world that he wants to give

00:13:26.960 amnesty to around half a million illegal migrants well you don't give legal status to people who have

00:13:33.120 legal status so you can do the math but it ended up being much more than that and the question is

00:13:39.460 well does he have a low popularity in spain could it be the case that him wanting to bring

00:13:48.560 hundreds of thousands if not a million of illegal migrants give them legal status and give them

00:13:55.020 citizenship might have anything to do with getting their votes this is another question that you need

00:14:02.560 to ask yourself if you're watching us from spain i'm sure your mainstream media isn't going to pose

00:14:08.400 this question or at least to a sufficient degree right here we have sanchez trying to

00:14:17.660 pretend that nothing's happening so he went on holiday and there's a question why is he still

00:14:24.540 in power and there was an interesting report and i really want to thank my friend pete british

00:14:28.440 were sending it to me a few minutes before we started. It's a five-minute read. It's an article

00:14:35.020 from Euro Weekly News by Nazario Rodriguez. And I'll just read the very beginning. It says

00:14:41.740 Spanish police, say Moroccan security personnel, did not merely stand aside as Ceuta was invaded.

00:14:49.360 Their report describes uniformed officers directing people towards crossing points,

00:14:54.560 while plainclothes figures mixed into the crowd

00:14:57.960 monitored the operation

00:14:59.640 and actively guided the mass towards the borders.

00:15:02.440 That is the context in which Pedro Sanchez went on holiday.

00:15:07.020 And here it says,

00:15:08.220 the report says Moroccan agents helped guide the invasion.

00:15:12.460 But Pedro Sanchez doesn't take this report seriously.

00:15:16.320 He doesn't take it seriously.

00:15:18.700 He doesn't think that this was an emergency.

00:15:21.420 And the question is,

00:15:22.220 Well, if he didn't think it was an emergency, why did he act then?

00:15:27.860 Or why is he blaming other sides?

00:15:30.580 I'm going to talk to you about it in a minute.

00:15:32.660 Here he has an infuriating statement.

00:15:35.880 On July the 30th, our agents had to choose between momentarily ensuring the border's

00:15:40.420 watertightness or defending human life.

00:15:43.440 They chose the second.

00:15:44.840 We did what was right, the smartest and bravest thing.

00:15:48.000 They responded with humanity instead of barbarity.

00:15:50.920 Are you sure that the people who entered Ceuta are going to respond to the Spanish with humanity instead of barbarity?

00:16:00.360 There already are reports that the latter has been the case, but Sanchez is saying, well, don't listen to them.

00:16:07.520 Don't particularly listen to them. This is just a far-right hoax.

00:16:11.600 So what does this imply? This implies that he thinks that you should never guard borders.

00:16:18.060 right um this is obviously something that a friend of spain wouldn't say borders exist

00:16:27.760 throughout history to protect a country from external enemies especially for a country like

00:16:34.080 spain with an 800 year history of reconquista taking back conquered territory well perhaps

00:16:41.920 He's an ecophobe who thinks that the Reconquista was bad and that perhaps Spain would have been a bit more diverse had it not been for the Reconquista.

00:16:53.100 But now he is blaming people for what happened, which he also said wasn't particularly bad because it was defending human life.

00:17:02.840 Who is he blaming?

00:17:04.280 He is blaming Putin, Israel and the international far right.

00:17:09.160 right i wanted to address both or all of these three right so it's allegedly putin to blame

00:17:16.420 i'm not a fan of putin's russia i do think that putin's russia is a um side that wants to wage

00:17:24.640 a sort of divide and conquer war against europe but i'm sure that i don't see pedro sanchez

00:17:31.160 saying that the poland belarus border shouldn't be guarded in fact this is the only border

00:17:38.500 of the EU that it's permissible to guard, because Putin is using migration flows to

00:17:46.980 destabilize Europe. The question is, why do EU people not extend this rationale to every other

00:17:55.060 border? And it looks like this is exactly what Pedro Sánchez is doing, because he says, yes,

00:18:01.200 of course, Putin's Russia could fund migration flows whose purpose is to destabilize Europe

00:18:08.700 across other borders, such as the Morocco-Seuta border.

00:18:12.860 But the thing is, as well, even if this is true, and say, for example, Russia just went

00:18:19.580 for 5% of state spending, putting it into destabling Europe with migrant crisis and

00:18:26.740 these mass transfers of people it doesn't matter how much money they're putting into it you're the

00:18:32.520 ones letting them in you're the ones saying it's okay to come here if you just said no then it

00:18:38.700 doesn't really matter how much money in the world the russians spend on it absolutely we're in this

00:18:43.440 strange schrodinger's migrant where it's um it's both a beautiful thing and you know it's it's it's

00:18:50.260 xenophobia to not want it but it's also a weapon used by Putin I mean Javier Bardem fell into this

00:18:56.920 when he basically he said it's Israel doing it deliberately through Morocco and it's like oh so

00:19:02.260 you admit it's a bad thing like you said it was like destabilized it's like so immigration is now

00:19:06.360 bad just so we can get that on the record when our enemies are allegedly doing it right when it

00:19:12.460 comes to he's also blaming Israel we have to say that several officials from Israel made some really

00:19:18.820 bad statements when it came to this because they they have a beef with sanchez sanchez is a notorious

00:19:25.620 palestine defender but to move from sanchez is getting exactly what he wants to the spanish

00:19:33.900 deserve it it's a huge logical leap and it's an invalid one and i would say that it doesn't do

00:19:41.100 them favors and the far right of course the people who constantly claim that mass migration is

00:19:48.880 destabilizing their country and don't want it are responsible for mass migration in their country

00:19:54.700 just this this is absolutely ridiculous and he he really has no shame and again i'll ask you

00:20:01.420 if you're spanish ask yourself how would a traitor act differently all those hundreds of thousands

00:20:09.860 of spaniards yeah out in the streets in their cities protesting it they're all far right yes

00:20:15.280 i've got an answer for your traitor would be more subtle well um maybe here we have alberto

00:20:23.300 alimano writing he is a professor of eu law and a fellow a democracy fellow at harvard

00:20:30.340 founder of the good lobby anyway he's jean monet professor of eu law he wrote an article on the

00:20:37.840 guardian how the far right is tightening its grip over the eu from the inside and he says that we

00:20:44.640 face the reality that the eu is really coercive at the border and i have this picture here which

00:20:51.740 shows actually what the report the spanish report that pedro sanchez told spaniards to not take

00:20:59.920 seriously says we have people helping the illegal migrants you can see them here they have yellow

00:21:09.240 letters on their uniform they're helping people cross the borders so this isn't even debatable

00:21:16.600 this isn't an issue this isn't a question of did it happen but also absolutely happened it's not

00:21:22.260 even just related to spain of course i mean when i was on the podcast yesterday talking about italy

00:21:27.700 Just in the last year, Maloney's government allowed some 66,000 illegals to come across Mediterranean into Italy.

00:21:37.420 And she was someone who was hailed by the entire EU establishment of basically being the return of Mussolini.

00:21:44.920 And so if she's letting in 70,000, then yeah, the EU's not exactly being hardline at the border, is it?

00:21:53.020 no of course but he wants to do this in order to contaminate public discourse and every time

00:22:00.400 you for instance that you're watching us if you're in spain or any other country in europe or the west

00:22:06.060 you try to tell your friends well something is happening the burden of proof suddenly falls on

00:22:12.800 your shoulders to start saying why for instance you're not a mussolini franco advocate or whatever

00:22:18.740 instead of saying the obvious that you are ruled by someone who allowed your country to be invaded

00:22:26.380 by 70,000 people and didn't even think that he should declare a state of emergency. And instead

00:22:32.220 of actually doing something about it, he has the nerve to say happy Ceuta Day. So here's the

00:22:38.060 subtlety when it comes to addressing a Spanish crowd and saying that he wants more of it.

00:22:45.600 and he says here about illegal migration you cannot grab a human being by the arm and simply

00:22:53.100 throw them across the borders as if there were a sack of dirt you can and you should you can and

00:22:58.600 you should but also let's see how really destructive and gotham city like this mentality is let's apply

00:23:06.140 this to incarceration and the police why not do this if you if someone violates a law why not you

00:23:13.220 you put them in jail you put them in the cell the same rationale applies to it if pedro sanchez

00:23:21.700 wants to apply to borders someone crosses them illegally they have to be met with punishment

00:23:26.580 otherwise there are no laws and we have anarchy but also as well these are people who have just

00:23:31.780 stormed into your sovereign territory so you already have every understanding of what respect

00:23:37.700 they have for you and your people yeah which is none and so you have to remove them simply without

00:23:44.720 any sort you know dispassionately across back to the other border from where they came because if

00:23:50.080 you don't it's your people that are going to be worse than sacks of dirt absolutely as we've seen

00:23:55.580 with the rapes and murders and i was exactly and that's what i want to go and conclude this segment

00:24:01.940 with is that the mainstream media and the establishment in this case in spain but in

00:24:07.940 other eu countries as well they are trying to frame this in terms of an isolated case

00:24:13.940 which involves either the violation of human rights or not but the world isn't as isolated as

00:24:21.780 this thought experiment which is a fallacious and a sophisticated one suggests the war is more

00:24:27.380 interconnect the world is more interconnected and by allowing thousands of people from incompatible

00:24:34.340 cultures to increase the economic and then political power of their lobbies within western

00:24:41.540 societies especially when they hate western societies and they openly do so and they are told

00:24:47.940 to keep their culture by multiculturalists ecophobes such as pedro sanchez this is leading

00:24:55.700 to a situation that does involve the violation of human rights it involves the violation of

00:25:01.220 human rights of native europeans it involves the disruption of their lives and sadly it occasionally

00:25:07.860 leads to massive stealing uh massive uh rape on a massive scale and frequently murders and

00:25:16.740 then leads furthermore to a very disgusting and pathetic response by the establishment that says

00:25:22.820 essentially for all this you the native european in this case the native spaniard you're responsible

00:25:29.100 for this according to pedro sanchez not me you have to pay the bill you have to pay more benefits

00:25:35.180 and in fact he says this here we have santiago bascal saying that sanchez is a traitor to spain

00:25:42.720 and you know what sanchez doesn't just say that we need to pay more money as europeans for

00:25:50.540 increased spending and benefits for third worlders he says we need to give money to morocco

00:25:58.460 as a response to the invasion of seuta we need to help these countries improve their possibilities

00:26:04.660 for economic growth well um you could trade you could actually trade which is beneficial but you're

00:26:13.860 a but you're a silly radical left socialist and you wouldn't know about trade and you don't exactly

00:26:19.260 have a track record of success when it comes to economic growth. In fact, it's the opposite.

00:26:24.820 And have you also called for degrowth? I think you have. But also, when it comes to this,

00:26:31.680 when it comes to talking about economic growth, why does the Spaniard, why do the Spanish

00:26:37.500 have to pay not only for social benefits for the non-Spanish in Spain, but also pay for the

00:26:46.280 economic growth of morocco this is precisely the radical left in a nutshell they hate europe

00:26:54.740 they're going to side with anyone who hates them they don't care so long as their allies hate

00:27:02.100 european civilization they are going to ally with them all they want to do is destroy europe

00:27:08.020 yeah well it's pretty conclusive isn't it um let's read fallen firebird the suicidally liberal

00:27:19.940 judge dominated human rights obsessed oligarchy of western civilization can and will never reserve

00:27:27.200 the demographic oblivion never give up give up but voting alone cannot work that's according

00:27:33.480 to fallen firebird i want to say that i'm not that pessimistic with the demographic and also

00:27:39.460 i'm not that pessimistic with with uh with democratic action right the engaged few i say

00:27:46.440 the spanish protesters should march on government buildings and parliament is in session and he says

00:27:54.100 let's see who the spanish army and police will support and he says that an answer will be given

00:28:00.660 either way and ocic door says so if the spanish citizens take over the media stations and claim

00:28:06.780 it for the people to get the truth out would the socialists then want the private property returned

00:28:11.880 whatever helps them whatever they find politically expedient for them

00:28:16.380 the engaged few is it just me or did luca just flash a look that said

00:28:22.540 i'm about to grab my flaming sword and stand on the beach there's a look i have no idea

00:28:29.920 right she'll guard it more often let's go to the second segment ah well so today this is slightly

00:28:37.360 more in a way light-hearted than some of my recent segments but it's still incredibly frustrating and

00:28:42.240 annoying it's not actually that light-hearted it's only because we've been covering lindsey

00:28:45.440 clancy that i've said that and this is about secret societies at ivy leagues universities

00:28:50.440 and how they've become woke and we know the ivy leagues but they're no longer working for the

00:28:55.240 greater good they're no longer working for like good george w bush and his mates in a way right

00:28:59.420 this is a weird segment for me to do because who am i i'm from a northern state school and i would

00:29:04.060 never have access to these kind of things anyway so why am i lamenting the decline of secret elite

00:29:09.320 societies really it's because it's the decline of excellence and it's the decline of aspiration

00:29:14.300 into an egalitarian mush of nothingness and anti-whiteness gone i want to say though that

00:29:20.180 i really doubt that several elite societies are just focused on excellence just like if you need

00:29:25.840 the password fidelia to enter probably is not that excellent i know what you mean it's it but

00:29:31.720 it's so yes there's an element to like well it's nice to be able to just talk in private sometimes

00:29:36.140 into yeah well there's obviously flaws with secret societies that are based on yeah nepotism and

00:29:41.400 networking and so on but what i've actually they've been dismantled though by wokes it's just amazing

00:29:46.240 and by basically by women didn't want to say it but it's just amazing how quickly it all fall

00:29:50.460 apart it's not me saying it it's i'm just reading i'm reading things out on the internet um so

00:29:57.700 this tweet i got this from this tweet that went sort of virus decently of 563 000 views

00:30:03.180 this was going around admits women destroyed within a single generation so this was at the

00:30:07.620 skull and bones club at yale famously george w bush went there his dad went there and john

00:30:13.120 kerry many others and here we see the class of 1991 tapped seven female members for membership

00:30:18.200 in the next year's class causing conflict with the alumni association and this is the other thing

00:30:22.340 it's also a parallel with you know our gentlemen's clubs that have been all invaded by women it's

00:30:27.400 also parallel with that the uh the garrick yeah yeah exactly and the constant pressure to have

00:30:32.800 all your spaces invaded so the trust changed locks on the tomb and the bonesman instead met

00:30:37.000 at the manuscripts society building a mail-in vote by members decided 368 to 320 to permit

00:30:42.400 women in the society but a group of alumni led by william f buckley obtained a temporary restraining

00:30:47.080 order to block the move arguing that a formal change in bylaws was needed quite interesting

00:30:51.540 as brookley's often held up as sort of the containment gatekeeper of the right but here

00:30:55.580 he's like comes across as like upholding the old way you say that but he didn't contain it there

00:31:00.540 did he he attempted to but he failed um so other alumni such as john kerry uh spoke out in favor

00:31:06.800 of admitting women always one or two the dispute was highlighted on led story page new york times

00:31:11.800 a second alumni vote agreed to accept the class of 1992 the lawsuit was dropped 21st century in

00:31:16.780 In recent years, Skull and Bones, like other elite Yale institutions,

00:31:19.240 utterly transformed, according to Atlantic.

00:31:21.340 The society tapped its first entirely non-white class in 2020.

00:31:25.460 This is also a story very much about DEI.

00:31:27.760 Few descendants of alumni get in, and progressive activism is an asset.

00:31:31.940 The class of 2021 admitted no conservatives.

00:31:35.220 So it's kind of one of the, you know, people talk about conquest law.

00:31:38.700 One-shotted.

00:31:39.500 Yeah, absolutely one-shotted.

00:31:40.920 In 30 years.

00:31:42.020 Yeah, incredible.

00:31:42.740 and oddly enough isn't that remarkable

00:31:45.660 as well that this original

00:31:47.760 attitude by the

00:31:49.740 men who are obviously I have

00:31:51.600 no understanding of the world of secret

00:31:53.520 societies and you know

00:31:55.060 this sort of high end stuff

00:31:57.320 I'm just a lad from Scumthought

00:31:59.300 we probably had the masons where you were from

00:32:01.060 but at the same time

00:32:03.360 this level of like openness

00:32:05.620 and inclusiveness and generosity

00:32:07.440 from the men of like oh well

00:32:09.500 maybe it'd just be benevolent

00:32:11.300 Maybe it's about time to bring the women in, this, that, and the other.

00:32:14.680 Well, you find 30 years down the line,

00:32:16.540 do they feel that same sense of reciprocity to you?

00:32:19.460 Like, is that there?

00:32:20.380 Or actually, have you just now been shafted out

00:32:22.500 and this thing that was yours is now just theirs?

00:32:25.500 And, well, good luck waiting for them to extend it back the other way.

00:32:29.780 But if you knew about secret societies, would you say so?

00:32:33.740 Well, no.

00:32:35.760 And the literal answer to your joke is they never do.

00:32:37.900 Like, if George Bush were asked about it, he wouldn't even talk about it.

00:32:40.160 very very secretive about it but now it's all ruined anyway this came up partly because of a

00:32:44.680 recent article uh skull and bones is fake and gay great title how the most fable secret society's

00:32:50.340 private island reflects america's modern elites and this is in a sort of men's magazine mamora it

00:32:54.040 seems to be called obviously shooting him here but um quite interesting so what they had is this

00:32:58.820 little they had this deer island which is owned by the society this is about someone going out

00:33:04.200 to deer island because they have a friend there and just how it how it's completely destroyed so um

00:33:10.160 It talks about the alumni, and we had George W. Bush.

00:33:14.360 This was a film that was made about it, of course.

00:33:16.380 And they talk about how it's George W. Bush and all these people,

00:33:18.800 William F. Buckley, et cetera, John Kerry.

00:33:21.340 But now it's completely changed.

00:33:23.180 I'm just looking for the – and this talks about the kind of people

00:33:25.100 they used to have.

00:33:26.160 You would have someone from the Yale Daily News, a whiff and puff.

00:33:30.040 That's what they call the acapella singing group associated with Yale.

00:33:35.280 You'd have the swimming captain, and you'd have all these different types

00:33:37.400 of people, a filmmaker, political columnist.

00:33:39.020 now it's just all about wokeness all about dei so there's the deer island um i'm trying to find

00:33:45.360 this bit where it's he says that it's completely uh uh here we go i think this is it yeah so he

00:33:52.120 talks about the kind of people they used to have but he says in today's modern progressive skull

00:33:55.080 and bones intersectionality reigns over the reimagined version of exclusivity and hierarchy

00:34:00.480 the heads of the lgbtq black and muslim student clubs took over the inside track following the

00:34:05.700 2020 campus struggle session, Skull and Bones tapped an entirely non-white class, which we've

00:34:10.080 just seen, even though it used to be all about Bush and Kerry and all these people. The young

00:34:15.040 Marist members removed portraits of old white members from the walls of the tomb. We'll get

00:34:19.160 into that later as well. So they came in and they tore down the portraits. And Deer Island, he says,

00:34:26.300 reflects Skull and Bones' decline. Ruins of formerly beautiful buildings are scattered

00:34:30.080 throughout the grounds. They remind you there was once something special about this place.

00:34:33.040 men of accomplishment and aura debated grand strategies any mystique is long gone in the

00:34:37.800 internet age nowadays no kings boomers post selfies wearing kamala t-shirts on public flicker albums

00:34:43.640 as if the island is just another instagrammable mass market vacation i believe it yeah it's a

00:34:49.320 massive aura loss massive aura that's exactly it they need to euro max it back they need to

00:34:54.620 island max it what the skulls depicted as opulent is just ordinary instead of joshua jackson paul

00:34:59.700 walker dueling with pistols bio lemnest rule over trigger words so it's all falling apart they've

00:35:04.880 lost the island this is why you don't give an inch never give an inch don't give an inch women

00:35:09.740 sorry just kidding to everyone um thanks to the uh demoralization and demonization

00:35:17.300 wealthy alumni no longer feel an attachment to steward their club and island for future

00:35:21.640 generations a modest endowment supports a small seasonal staff composed mostly of members families

00:35:26.620 The island only opens for a few months in the summer

00:35:28.260 while one colourful caretaker does all the work, basically,

00:35:31.080 and you have to pay $200 a night for rubbish quality rooms.

00:35:33.740 So the alumni no longer fit in attachment to it

00:35:36.920 because, of course, it's been destroyed for them.

00:35:38.460 Yeah, of course.

00:35:38.860 Which would obviously happen.

00:35:40.140 As Henry Hill points out here,

00:35:41.940 if nothing else, refusing admittance to the children of alumni

00:35:44.400 to say nothing of the rest of the culture rupture

00:35:46.480 is going to destroy the connection to the alumni network,

00:35:49.880 which is or was the entire point of Skull and Bones.

00:35:52.380 so they stopped allowing alumni

00:35:54.960 you know and descendants

00:35:56.500 and people's sons

00:35:57.780 to obviously how W. Bush

00:36:00.280 got in there

00:36:00.880 and you go what's the point

00:36:02.120 then of this secret society

00:36:02.980 why would you want

00:36:03.740 your own children

00:36:04.700 to feel that same sense

00:36:05.980 of continuity as you

00:36:07.220 right it's much like

00:36:07.940 the House of Lords isn't it

00:36:08.920 you know whatever

00:36:09.520 you know this

00:36:11.000 they got rid of

00:36:12.220 getting rid of hereditary peers

00:36:13.400 yeah

00:36:13.700 and again you might say

00:36:14.500 why people like you and me

00:36:15.460 care so much about that

00:36:16.100 but it's like

00:36:16.500 well even if it's not us there

00:36:18.220 because we're not posh enough

00:36:18.940 I'd rather

00:36:19.440 those people were stewards

00:36:20.780 they cared a lot

00:36:21.640 it's in their family

00:36:23.100 you get rid of it

00:36:24.980 and you stick in a load

00:36:25.660 of labour hires

00:36:26.480 who were just awful

00:36:27.440 Karen's normally gone

00:36:28.480 that's their marketing though

00:36:29.740 I see

00:36:30.720 you never know

00:36:32.000 I see

00:36:32.520 so you're pro

00:36:33.240 you're pro destruction

00:36:34.280 of institutions

00:36:35.040 if I'm not in

00:36:36.700 they should have invited me

00:36:38.120 you could probably get in

00:36:39.080 because you could play

00:36:40.160 the

00:36:40.480 you know

00:36:41.240 diverse card

00:36:42.160 I'll go there

00:36:45.640 and say

00:36:45.940 hi

00:36:46.200 can I have an end pass

00:36:47.540 yeah

00:36:49.100 you might get one

00:36:50.560 um so back to the old article it's this person saying he'll never visit again because the guy

00:36:57.440 who hosted him no longer speaks to me during covert he was exiled for asking why he mandated

00:37:01.680 the jab to attend his wedding that kind of thing happens a lot of us and he's saying they went from

00:37:06.000 the bonesman went from defeating hitler to playing a silly card game about him secret hitler which we

00:37:10.960 actually played they went from building from building entire industries and silent generational

00:37:15.120 wealth they're posting about their middle management corporate job on linkedin and so

00:37:19.360 this is the just just general decline um and meet your new elite skull and bones overlords mock

00:37:26.240 accordingly more about this in well about the island you see how they lost the island

00:37:33.120 they went from having um a massive 40 acre retreat with tennis courts softball fields

00:37:40.080 rhubarb plants and goose bushes now it's ruins it's just uh stone burned out stone buildings

00:37:46.480 it's a dump so decline really and it was like the best it was like kept in good order right up until

00:37:54.720 the 90s when these changes were happening i don't exactly the the dates i'm just saying it correlates

00:38:00.500 quite strongly question if these are people who let's say have power and it's an elite club of

00:38:06.040 people who are making decisions for a long time and they have taken a series of bad decisions why

00:38:12.980 are we to feel bad about it no that well that's that's that's a that is a valid question it's the

00:38:19.360 elites yes it's a sort of neocon elite that we was not great anyway replaced by a leftist anti-white

00:38:26.060 male elite so it's like pick your elite really but it is notable at least for a change in the

00:38:31.520 elites yeah i'm not completely unambiguously like on the side of george w bush's secret society but

00:38:36.700 it's just interesting that even these aren't safe and how the how kerry et al capitulated

00:38:41.120 it's kind of interesting

00:38:42.380 how the elites

00:38:42.900 because it ties into everything

00:38:44.460 it even ties into your segment

00:38:45.520 why have elites capitulated

00:38:47.760 totally to leftism

00:38:48.940 they can't even be

00:38:50.380 one thing was the neocon

00:38:51.900 expansionist war elite

00:38:53.580 I was like

00:38:54.020 at least I knew where I stood with

00:38:55.340 they had their problems

00:38:57.200 but come back

00:38:58.500 come back Dick Cheney

00:38:59.820 all is forgiven

00:39:00.460 he can't hear you Nick

00:39:03.060 I'm afraid

00:39:03.640 but I see your point

00:39:05.400 it's definitely not

00:39:06.400 an unambiguous

00:39:06.920 yay Joe Bush is secretly

00:39:08.920 it was mocked a lot

00:39:09.800 wasn't it

00:39:10.120 by people like Michael Moore and all these lefties.

00:39:12.280 Which is funny, though.

00:39:13.000 Let's get into the meat of it,

00:39:14.440 which is this Atlantic piece from 2019,

00:39:16.660 which gets into the hypocrisy of it all

00:39:18.600 and how it works,

00:39:19.580 how you sort of seize power

00:39:21.500 while pretending that's not what you're doing.

00:39:24.280 So they had these tombs where they hang out

00:39:26.360 and these...

00:39:26.840 Is this going to be blocked?

00:39:29.220 See if you can just sort that out, Samson.

00:39:32.580 It wasn't blocked on mine.

00:39:34.140 That's right.

00:39:34.860 Just give the mouse to Samson.

00:39:36.240 He might be able to work with magic on it.

00:39:38.100 I'll read it out for my bit while we do that.

00:39:39.640 So they met in these tombs where they hang out.

00:39:42.500 They've got tombs because they're elite societies and they hang out in tombs.

00:39:45.920 It's probably where it's called Skull and Gook Bones, I guess.

00:39:48.740 And the students meet there and they decided to tear down all the portraits that were there.

00:39:55.100 So they pulled the portraits down, replaced them with homemade...

00:39:58.100 Here you go, Nick.

00:39:58.760 They pulled the portraits.

00:39:59.740 There we go.

00:40:00.440 So they pulled the...

00:40:01.360 But they're in a tomb surrounded by the oil portraits of former bonesmen, all white, all chosen by the Society's alumni board.

00:40:07.240 The current members felt overcome not by the achievements of those who had come before them

00:40:10.620 or by the possibilities that lay ahead, but instead by the organisation's long history of exclusion.

00:40:15.080 So the students did what they felt had to be done.

00:40:16.760 They pulled the portraits down and replaced them with homemade science,

00:40:19.620 criticising the society's record of keeping people of colour out of its ranks.

00:40:23.700 So classic kind of Maoist sort of stuff, kind of what you'd expect.

00:40:30.960 But there's a fundamental hypocrisy that the article semi-admits to.

00:40:35.240 I don't know how to find it, but it says,

00:40:37.240 Members of Yale's secret societies aren't entirely sure what to do with it.

00:40:41.160 They face the question roiling America's elite campuses,

00:40:44.780 taken to its logical extreme,

00:40:46.020 whether the modern social justice politics advanced by college students

00:40:48.980 can coexist with the staggering selectivity and privilege

00:40:51.920 that benefit those same students.

00:40:54.180 So it's kind of like that classic viral clip where Dinesh D'Souza was asked,

00:41:00.980 someone said to me, what about white privilege?

00:41:03.140 And he said to the guy, well, quit your position at the university

00:41:05.780 and stand out you were at an ivory university quit and he was like who is mine it's like you

00:41:11.040 guys are not going to quit the secret societies gone yeah i've done i've done this on my first

00:41:14.640 day on uni and i didn't make friends yeah yeah that was a student who started talking about he's

00:41:21.780 still there he's completely useless by the way never done any research of value or anything

00:41:27.480 he started talking about black representation i told him listen are you willing to to resign and

00:41:32.900 never apply for another job again,

00:41:34.960 or you want to have your ass safe and play with my chances.

00:41:38.520 He wanted to do the latter.

00:41:39.760 And for so much, the really angering thing about all of it,

00:41:45.660 in many cases, in the institutions and in the corporations themselves,

00:41:49.780 of course, all of this rhetoric that got spouted out about,

00:41:53.940 oh, inclusion and how we need diversity.

00:41:56.380 Well, these are people who didn't have such obstacles

00:41:59.460 back when they were getting the positions themselves,

00:42:01.900 back in the 18, back in the 1980s, back in the 1990s.

00:42:06.640 But now that they find themselves perfectly secure within their own work,

00:42:11.740 and as you say, they're not going to give away their own positions.

00:42:14.600 Good Lord, they don't mean themselves, of course.

00:42:17.160 Well, they just mean the rest of us now,

00:42:19.540 who are going to have to compete across the West,

00:42:22.460 whether it's America or in Britain or, you know, other European countries

00:42:27.000 with mass influxes of foreigners

00:42:29.980 who just automatically tick these diverse categories

00:42:33.900 from the moment that they arrive

00:42:35.640 and there's nothing you can do about it.

00:42:37.740 It doesn't matter whether or not it was your birthright

00:42:40.280 to carry on in these trades and these jobs

00:42:43.000 and these institutions as your father had

00:42:45.240 or his grandfather before them

00:42:46.820 because the new arrivals have come now

00:42:49.160 and actually the future belongs to them and not to you

00:42:52.480 is really what they're saying and it's disgusting.

00:42:54.720 But you can also say that it isn't an issue of birthright, because you could say that just because, for instance, your father did a practice, a particular profession, doesn't mean that you have the right.

00:43:04.440 But it's just also an issue of meritocracies, that most of these people are not getting the job because they deserve it.

00:43:10.840 When I say birthright, I mean more in the collective sense of the fact that these are jobs that were inherited for Englishmen or for Americans.

00:43:18.700 about pulling essentially pulling up the ladder in the yes obviously on a western scale but the

00:43:23.720 in the arts particularly it's massive like every sort of older white writer that doesn't care about

00:43:27.980 the younger ones says oh and sort of embraces wokeness yeah in comedy it's all the same all

00:43:32.300 the white people it's the same across all the arts and everything apparently the same in the

00:43:35.660 skull and bones club yeah um this is interesting part reports of alumni students schisms within

00:43:40.960 yale secret societies are nearly as old as the society themselves right but this part was

00:43:44.960 interesting though kind of like half truth opinion writers argue that left-wing students have trampled

00:43:50.340 the values that sustain societies that makes it easy to miss a much more significant shift within

00:43:54.840 these groups what's she talking about it turns out she's talking about diversity it's like it's the

00:43:59.520 same it's part of the same thing she's saying it's not the left wing that trampled it's it's actually

00:44:04.280 that um it's all about diversity it's like yeah that's that's the same they say in fact in recent

00:44:08.320 years the demographics have utterly transformed and in 2020 they had it as we said earlier it's

00:44:12.460 first entirely non-white class. She's trying to say that's something different from left-wing

00:44:16.100 values, but I don't know how she gets that. The forced diversity is, of course, a large part of

00:44:20.680 it. They've become DEI society. And it says quite clearly here that it's turned out to be an arms

00:44:28.900 race, a diversity arms race. So this has created something of a diversity arms race. People are

00:44:33.720 intentionally or not thinking, does this cohort have too many white people?

00:44:37.540 Quick, identify as trans before the other person does.

00:44:40.340 Yeah, well, there is that going on as well.

00:44:43.460 This person admits, a member of one of the classes,

00:44:46.200 admits it's definitely an undercurrent.

00:44:47.520 I would say it's an overcurrent.

00:44:49.020 I'd say that's the whole thing.

00:44:50.700 So they say how it's long gone,

00:44:52.060 that it used to be the football captain,

00:44:54.020 the student body president.

00:44:55.320 I was talking about merit, and that's all gone.

00:44:57.620 Now it's just pure diversity, as you'd expect.

00:45:00.460 I know this is everything.

00:45:01.260 I know we know all this.

00:45:02.080 It's just like funny that it's even in secret societies.

00:45:06.180 Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.

00:45:08.420 Right, so...

00:45:10.340 This is funny as well, in a grim way, the Bones class of 2021 had people from all kinds of backgrounds, one member of the class told me, but no conservatives, unless you count centrists as conservatives, which some members do.

00:45:21.720 Like Yale's student body overall, members of secret societies mostly range from far left to left of centre.

00:45:26.300 This is a, sorry, I know it's like a very normie tier point to make, but this whole people from all kinds of backgrounds, except conservatives, this just reminds me so much of the way that they portrayed like superheroes in like the Marvel universe and stuff.

00:45:42.180 And they would always, certainly after they got past the end game territory, and they started like putting in more and more diverse heroes and gay heroes and whatever the hell, you know, they decided to do when they just spun the diversity wheel that day.

00:45:55.900 uh to make them is the fact that they'd always say oh well you know stan lee who created all

00:46:01.280 these characters he always said that you know that this world of superheroes should resemble

00:46:05.900 the life outside your window and when you look outside your window you've got people of all

00:46:10.720 different races and you know sexual orientations it's like right but no bloody republicans right

00:46:16.280 right no conservatives when you look outside no right-wing people when you look outside your

00:46:21.720 window is there well i may have said aaron sorkin in a recent interview talked about the the danger

00:46:25.760 of a second blacklist because people had been a bit mean to Jimmy Kimmel

00:46:30.060 and Stephen Colbert's show has ended.

00:46:31.780 Meanwhile, you have to have a group called Friends of Abe

00:46:34.540 that meets secretly and has code words because they're conservatives

00:46:37.760 in Hollywood, and they're quite big people like John Voight

00:46:40.020 and Gary Sinise, but they have to be.

00:46:41.840 Yeah, people who have been in the industry for decades.

00:46:44.100 Yeah, but they're secret, and, of course, that's how Daily Wire

00:46:46.720 came about and so on.

00:46:48.400 Well, they were involved with that.

00:46:49.880 So this is funny.

00:46:51.220 In short, Yale secret societies are now filled with students

00:46:53.540 who, as a matter of political conviction,

00:46:55.200 consider wealth and privilege indefensible,

00:46:56.900 but who, as members of Yale's most elite clubs,

00:46:59.040 enjoy enormous advantages.

00:47:00.520 Tricky one, that, isn't it?

00:47:01.620 So they're against it, and this gets more and more ridiculous.

00:47:04.620 In 2021, Caleb Dunson, then a Yale sophomore,

00:47:08.180 published an op-ed with the title Abolish Yale.

00:47:12.220 And he says, oh, I felt bad because we were having

00:47:14.520 this opulent holiday feast.

00:47:16.160 Meanwhile, people suffered in the cold nearby, the homeless.

00:47:19.200 And of course, he wants to fix the whole world.

00:47:21.420 And he said, since we can't change Yale,

00:47:22.880 we have to tear it down today dunson is a member of one of the ancient eight societies he knows

00:47:28.020 how to look so ancient eight is the you know there's other ones other than skull and bones

00:47:31.360 if you don't get in you go to one of the other so-called ancient eight and he says funny how

00:47:35.420 once you get attacked for society it's funny how quickly you get used to invested in the

00:47:38.940 you get invested in the preservation of that society ultimately he said given that his

00:47:43.300 political views are odds with attending yale in the first place there's already a bit of

00:47:46.420 cognitive dissonance so joining a secret society wasn't such a big leap brilliant

00:47:50.060 I've already gone against all my principles

00:47:53.920 I may as well go a bit more

00:47:55.300 and he's of course black with a capital B

00:47:58.000 there thank you Atlantic

00:47:59.440 just in case you didn't know

00:48:01.200 so but the idea

00:48:03.920 they have to tear it down even before that hypocrisy

00:48:05.940 the idea they have to tear it down

00:48:07.760 because there's a homeless person

00:48:09.220 nothing's ever enough

00:48:11.000 sorry it's this whole

00:48:12.540 who's black and everything

00:48:14.980 you do know they have

00:48:16.400 very privileged aristocracies

00:48:19.480 They had them in Cuba. They had them across Africa in the decolonization period.

00:48:25.000 Like, the innate human desire against inequality and to privilege yourself or privilege your friends or privilege...

00:48:32.540 Like, fine, there are times when that is exceedingly wrong.

00:48:35.720 But generally speaking, it's not some evil thing to wish to build something civilizational.

00:48:44.660 and Yale is obviously or historically has been something very core to American civilization

00:48:51.960 as one of its universities and you don't have the right to just tear it down because you've got

00:48:57.380 something of a guilty conscience right but and why they want to tear it down it comes down to

00:49:01.300 even without his hypocrisy it comes down to egalitarianism and it's really key here the

00:49:06.080 school operates on it's really clear here the school operates under the assumption that only

00:49:09.700 a small group of remarkable people can push humanity forward so he doesn't like but to me

00:49:14.400 that's a good thing because I've never been an egalitarian. If you look at C.S. Lewis's screw

00:49:18.280 tape proposes a toast, he rails against this, the idea that, oh, I'm just as good as you,

00:49:22.760 even though clearly you're not. It's like some people are beautiful, some people are great

00:49:26.740 scholars, everyone's different. But the idea that you have to be as good as everyone and tear

00:49:30.340 everything down to the lowest common denominator, when you get rid of the idea of a remarkable

00:49:34.160 group of people pushing humanity forward, you drag all humanity down. That's the only way it's

00:49:38.380 ever gone. You have to tear it down. This is how you get random fat black women being on front of

00:49:42.860 calvin klein you just have to tear the entire standard down for everyone else i mean it's how

00:49:49.060 you get the destruction of the grammar schools which destroy social mobility for probably people

00:49:52.960 like me and you you end up instead with comprehensives everyone has to be dragged down

00:49:56.780 and yes this is what we have so i i really hate this i've always hated this

00:50:01.020 it's ultimately it's the difference between left and right it's egalitarianism versus

00:50:04.840 freedom and aspiration so here as i said he's now in there he's got over his cognitive dissonance

00:50:11.460 the most common argument current and recent members give for preserving societies is that

00:50:15.440 by opening them up to groups that have previously been excluded they can help diversify the elite

00:50:19.880 um so one of them says he was tapped by a senior who wanted to keep the latino line going

00:50:25.500 once inside uh there was another diversity metric i chose three trans people that was my specific

00:50:31.260 goal so you get in and you just immediately say right i'm gonna it's gonna be either my own

00:50:36.400 nepotism with latinos or i'm just going to do this diversity tip box stuff so as soon as i get in

00:50:42.280 there let me just get one more thing is this sets up its own aristocracy yes yes of course it just

00:50:47.820 replaces it it's an anti-aristocracy though it's like the left always puts an anti in front of

00:50:53.520 everything it does it's like imperialism but we'll call it anti-imperialism yes exactly um i'm trying

00:51:00.620 to find it racism but we'll call it anti yeah and that's why there exists in perpetual illusion of

00:51:05.100 being the opposition or the rebels people like alistair campbell still thinks he's anti-establishment

00:51:09.800 you know that that's how the left that's the delusion of the left that they run on um they

00:51:14.220 still pretend the establishments like jacob reese mogg and his types but of course it isn't

00:51:18.280 nearly all the current and recent members i spoke with said it would be better if secret societies

00:51:21.840 didn't exist at all but given that they do exist they decided they might as well join and try to

00:51:25.940 make them better it's like how convenient so in other words they stole whatever power they could

00:51:30.840 they squeeze the last drops out of

00:51:33.220 this thing that wasn't built by them

00:51:35.200 while destroying everything good about the institution

00:51:37.500 including the island

00:51:38.360 and like with basically all other institutions

00:51:41.060 so there we go

00:51:42.080 and don't lose a second sleep over any of it

00:51:44.840 no they just justify it

00:51:45.880 don't look at what it was or what it was able to uphold

00:51:48.600 or even the general maintenance of the place

00:51:51.360 from merely decades ago

00:51:53.400 and go oh wow

00:51:54.440 we've let this place go to us

00:51:56.900 does this reflect badly on us

00:51:59.820 Like, are we failing to uphold something here?

00:52:02.640 No, it doesn't matter.

00:52:03.680 Let's just keep in-shittifying it.

00:52:05.540 Yeah, this is terrible.

00:52:06.420 You're all old white men.

00:52:07.300 We'll get in, put our own mates in,

00:52:09.300 destroy it, ruin the standards,

00:52:11.040 and somehow say that we're better than you,

00:52:13.000 even though we're now benefiting from all the advantages

00:52:15.940 of something we didn't build.

00:52:17.700 And your pleas for consideration to be let back into this thing,

00:52:22.080 that was the thing that allowed us to get into it in the first place,

00:52:25.820 are, well, definitely not going to be reciprocated.

00:52:28.680 nope

00:52:29.260 right okay

00:52:32.160 do you want

00:52:33.020 yeah do you want

00:52:34.320 Nick to read

00:52:35.040 something

00:52:35.260 yeah I can

00:52:35.760 I don't know how

00:52:36.300 to move it up and

00:52:36.840 down but

00:52:37.260 oh it's

00:52:38.200 drag the mouse

00:52:39.560 right to the left

00:52:40.340 okay

00:52:40.860 take it off the

00:52:41.840 screen

00:52:42.200 okay

00:52:42.680 there you go

00:52:44.520 almost doing it

00:52:45.740 so

00:52:46.760 you're doing it

00:52:47.560 Nick

00:52:47.900 you're really

00:52:49.320 doing it

00:52:49.940 thank you

00:52:50.780 Nick should look

00:52:52.500 up the Alex Jones

00:52:53.560 documentary

00:52:54.100 oh is there one

00:52:54.980 on Skull and Boat

00:52:55.400 I mean I know

00:52:55.800 there's Bohemian

00:52:56.400 Grove

00:52:56.740 I don't know if

00:52:57.460 there's Skull

00:52:58.020 is there also

00:52:58.500 skull and bones um look there's a gap in the market for elite group that isn't fake and gay

00:53:03.420 we need to get an island a real world island of the lotus eaters imagine that um it's probably

00:53:08.560 going to happen boomers do not hesitate to collectively oh sorry this is jm denton boomers

00:53:12.440 do not hesitate to collectively punish their children to rectify supposed privileges that

00:53:16.640 they enjoy and applaud themselves for it that is correct engage few there's no right when people

00:53:21.320 outside your window because they're all in their super villain island fortresses good point good

00:53:25.520 point yeah forgot about that um all right then well time to

00:53:33.680 okay thank you all right ladies and gentlemen uh time to engage ourselves in a spot of diplomacy

00:53:40.080 because uh talk is once again focusing around the falkland islands now for those of you who

00:53:45.760 are history buffs uh you might remember that we actually saw the argies off of their attempts to

00:53:50.800 take the island back in the 1980s and to be honest with you it it gave britain as a nation

00:53:58.900 a lot of confidence at a time coming out of a particularly dark spell with uh the winter of

00:54:05.600 discontent and you know just constant blackouts things not working in the 70s and in a way you

00:54:11.660 know thatcher and you know the military going in there and save not thatcher personally like leading

00:54:17.200 the army, but you understand what I'm saying. The Falklands War presented kind of a small

00:54:22.860 bit of reclamation of some national prestige, and certainly one that had been well-winded

00:54:30.400 of after the Suez Crisis in the middle of the 1950s. And from there, it seemed that

00:54:36.820 the question was settled. Not only did we win the war, but we also, you know, as a result

00:54:43.800 of that it led to the eventual collapse of the hunter that was governing uh argentina at the

00:54:50.360 time so you're welcome for that one argentina as well and but ultimately this is something that

00:54:56.380 obviously feels uh the argentinian people feel very very strongly about i've no shame in admitting

00:55:02.660 that and from their point of view i can understand why they do but we feel it just as strongly and

00:55:09.400 not just those but the people on the falklands who i'm sure you'll cover overwhelmingly want

00:55:13.360 to be british yes of course they do um but the problem is that a lot has happened since the 1980s

00:55:21.220 and every decade that has passed by has only shown up to the international community just how

00:55:28.000 incapable and uh toothless um our leaders are for example andy burnham will go ahead with the

00:55:36.540 handover of the chagos islands to mauritius despite donald trump rejecting the deal so

00:55:41.780 we can stand up to the americans when it's against our national interest uh that that's

00:55:48.800 easily enough done and also one other thing as well is just the fact that so burnham was off

00:55:53.480 being mayor of manchester whilst all of this was being done as well and presumably as one of

00:55:58.980 starmer's uh chief political rivals was not really anywhere near the decision making or the

00:56:05.440 intelligence behind why such a deal was going along in the first place yet lo and behold

00:56:10.520 uh Andy Burnham now finds himself at the heart of the British state and has just come to the exact

00:56:18.280 same conclusion as Starmer did about what is to be done with the Chagos deals despite the fact

00:56:23.220 that everybody in Britain hates it and we have still not had an actual legitimate reason laid

00:56:29.680 out for why this decision suddenly is one that we absolutely uh in have to make and also as well

00:56:38.540 in what way it's reasonable it's like oh we keep the airbase yeah but right now we've got the airbase

00:56:42.980 and the islands so why are we giving away the rest of the islands and paying them paying them

00:56:48.660 costing us a huge amount of money no one understands unless i don't know if there's

00:56:52.160 some secret thing we don't know about other than starmer's obviously is with international law

00:56:55.940 because to the layman this is like a massive loss obviously it's an incredibly unpopular policy

00:57:00.420 there are so many things that it could be worth speculating on obviously uh chinese influence

00:57:05.420 being one of them but that's not the subject of this uh segment what is also something pressing

00:57:13.140 is the fact that the government has ordered that the army stop major training as part of plans to

00:57:18.260 save 30 million uh pounds which as um uh woodmerpool points out here that's an hour and 13 minutes of

00:57:26.640 nhs spending uh and so we have money to we have endless amounts of money to apparently splash out

00:57:33.200 on foreign aid to countries that despise us we have endless amounts of money to give to foreigners

00:57:39.300 that have just arrived here and social welfare costs that should obviously be cut but in terms

00:57:45.900 of the actual important stuff the the things that actually solidify britain's geopolitical position

00:57:52.540 around the globe well those things just get left to rot our internet international prestige is left

00:57:59.440 to just be degraded in front of everyone's eyes and we're kind of a laughingstock it's a bit much

00:58:06.940 how one day it's Putin's invading us tomorrow let's all get ready the next day it's like we

00:58:11.540 can't spend any money on our army it seems to be oh absolutely and this is not something bear in

00:58:17.200 mind as well this is not something that is unique to Britain in any way for example the EU of course

00:58:23.840 goes on all the time about the Russian threat.

00:58:27.080 But when it comes to those important preparations

00:58:30.000 that you would usually do to prepare for war,

00:58:34.680 such as strong agricultural and energy independence,

00:58:41.080 well, those sorts of things,

00:58:42.240 they constantly leave to degrade

00:58:43.660 with net zero levies and all sorts of things.

00:58:46.660 Such as do not close your nuclear reactors.

00:58:50.100 Yes.

00:58:50.640 Also, presumably you need them for energy

00:58:53.080 if you're going to fight a war yeah that was very short-sighted and also um john healy just

00:58:58.020 resigned as defense minister because he didn't have the budget he comes in as chancellor but

00:59:03.200 we've heard nothing about the defense budget you think he'd be like and here's now the money

00:59:07.240 for defense that i couldn't get as now it's just not mentioned what's what's happening with that

00:59:11.280 kemi said she'll get it to three percent if she gets in but anyway well oddly enough so and now

00:59:16.500 as a result of this but there was one thing that we um there was something that we had back in the

00:59:22.600 eighties one was the fact that we still had some degree of national confidence not just in our

00:59:28.740 ability to actually fight for the islands themselves but in the very belief that these

00:59:34.680 are actually our territories and on and i i only say this because you can see the total inverse

00:59:41.240 reaction in the in the segment you covered steleos on in seuta where you can see even though

00:59:47.840 but nominally speaking, Ceuta is a Spanish territory.

00:59:51.240 You can see that the Spanish government have absolutely no will whatsoever

00:59:55.180 to actually assert their claim over it.

00:59:58.000 And so it requires both things at once.

01:00:00.420 You must actively have the manpower to protect it,

01:00:04.240 but you must also just have the belief in protecting it itself.

01:00:08.800 And without either of those two things, the entire image collapses.

01:00:13.300 It's very disturbing that the US is so weirdly pro-Falcanist going to Argentina.

01:00:17.500 they've been saying it for a while but i do think partly if we had a better relationship with trump

01:00:21.020 but didn't have all these lefties like starmer and burnham do you think they'd really do this i think

01:00:25.740 you could if it was farage in let's say and do you reckon america would be constantly going

01:00:30.700 on about the falconers being argentinian it's because when it was reagan and thatcher you

01:00:34.780 you know with that i don't know it seemed like they had a much better relationship i decided

01:00:38.300 well yeah no quite right and obviously as well you know um reagan stood by us in that period

01:00:44.780 against the Argentinians. And now that that is fracturing as well, of course, and the

01:00:51.180 American position seems to be... well, I'll just let Trump say it.

01:00:55.820 Thank you guys. Thank you.

01:00:57.260 Are you reviewing the US position?

01:00:59.020 Just turn it up, Samson, please.

01:01:00.220 I always review every position. That's just one of many. Steve?

01:01:03.740 Do you want the UK to cut its... or increase its three...

01:01:09.260 Okay. So he talks about the fact that actually the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands is just

01:01:14.140 just being on it's on the books and it's being looked at as everything else is but one thing as

01:01:19.340 well of course he mentioned was the fact that uh the american position on this could be strengthened

01:01:24.720 if um the uk were to commit to putting its defense budget to three percent which i'm just going to

01:01:33.040 say is not an unreasonable thing to ask no it's amazing they can't sort out i mean the defense

01:01:38.160 secretary resigned over it but they haven't sorted it out no one knows what they're doing with it

01:01:42.780 Do you know? I mean, you've got this new government, Healy's Chancellor, and I haven't heard anything about it.

01:01:47.540 I've only heard Kemi saying she would hit 3%, which is speculation because she's in opposition.

01:01:51.880 So what are Labour doing about defence, per se?

01:01:55.160 But then there is another aspect to it as well, which is not just a question of British defence spending,

01:02:00.720 which is also one of, well, I'll scratch your back, you scratch mine.

01:02:04.240 And when it came down to the episode earlier on with American intervention and Israeli interventions in Iran,

01:02:12.780 which are, of course, still ongoing and still undecided.

01:02:16.680 And frankly, it's becoming a bit embarrassing

01:02:19.160 seeing America declare victory like 37 times

01:02:24.100 in the space of three months.

01:02:26.060 But nonetheless, this is also what Trump said.

01:02:28.980 I was there when they had the first war.

01:02:31.960 It was a long time ago.

01:02:32.860 Turn it up, Samson, please.

01:02:35.500 No, it's already...

01:02:36.460 You reported yourselves very well.

01:02:37.880 You took it back pretty well.

01:02:40.280 But it's a long way away.

01:02:41.700 That's a big trip

01:02:43.560 It's a long way

01:02:44.880 So

01:02:45.940 Your country's not doing well

01:02:49.240 Don't forget

01:02:50.520 You get a big percentage of your oil

01:02:52.880 From the Strait of Hormuz

01:02:54.800 And you weren't there to help me

01:02:56.880 Your country was not there to help me

01:02:59.280 The thing here to say about Trump

01:03:03.260 Is because, right, I think

01:03:04.940 The way he's going about his European allies

01:03:07.320 Is not the best one

01:03:08.740 Actually, frequently

01:03:10.480 it's really really bad especially when it comes to greenland and with this is just the whole purpose

01:03:15.840 of nato and especially when it comes to article five is that it's a defensive alliance here he

01:03:22.080 attacked iran right and i'm not i'm not a friend of the mullahs no me neither obviously i'm not

01:03:29.440 sad in that respect but this isn't something that violates any sort of treaties that already exist

01:03:38.000 when it comes when it comes to this it's again though he's gonna say his peace i think frankly

01:03:43.360 he doesn't want to destroy nato or something he wants to renegotiate the terms of of the alliance

01:03:49.600 but at the end of the day the most sad thing is to watch people not want to defend their country

01:03:56.720 and yeah uh what are the previous one kia starmer he started saying the chagos island

01:04:02.560 have to go this doesn't exactly scream strength it screams weakness and yeah people like trump

01:04:09.600 anyone really on the world stage will see weakness and will say okay let's take advantage of it

01:04:15.440 trump also hates anyone who goes against him what starmer had to do was pretty simple let him use

01:04:20.160 the bases you don't have to get that involved in iran because we weren't consulted it seemed like

01:04:24.000 it was nothing to do with us but the bases which he ended up letting him do anyway but he delayed

01:04:29.520 on that and us couldn't believe it it was a no-brainer so that's what trump's surely referring

01:04:34.000 to and he's saying you weren't there for me and it would have been so easy just to do that part

01:04:38.000 yes you don't have to get all the way involved in a in a questionable world but yes but then

01:04:42.560 what uh he's doing and they're using this rhetoric is saying britain is an islamic country that is

01:04:48.800 why they didn't help against iran so we want to have the down road doctrine and control the western

01:04:55.280 hemisphere and the falklands are in the in the western hemisphere so we don't want let's say

01:05:00.520 islam in there that's the way he's going to go as if there was ever any danger of the falklands

01:05:06.400 becoming majority muslim you know it's definitely not great the way the us treats us at the moment

01:05:11.020 either clearly but i'm just saying with someone like trump you can appease him quite easily with

01:05:15.240 a bit of flattery and a bit of like yeah you can use our bases which you're gonna is gonna happen

01:05:18.840 anyway because we're meant to be allies but it's not great but the other thing as well is that i've

01:05:23.820 not included it in the link here but also one other thing was that we had the king himself

01:05:30.020 going over to washington for the 250th anniversary um of american independence giving by his standards

01:05:39.760 a very very capable speech and the entire event was you could tell was full of a kingship and a

01:05:45.900 camaraderie that is genuinely special and irreplaceable now this is not me being under

01:05:51.900 the illusion that there is some genuine special relationship between the united kingdom and

01:05:58.000 america in terms of geopolitical allies and obviously there are times where our interests

01:06:03.440 will differ but as you mentioned was a big one of course but at the same time it really feels

01:06:11.600 like actually none of it matters whatsoever and rather than i mean don't get me wrong trump has

01:06:17.920 been he can't have made it any clearer just drill in the north sea and dispel loads and loads of

01:06:25.020 the immigrants that you've brought in it's not complicated and it is entirely the fate uh against

01:06:31.740 us and nothing against the americans that our states have refused to do this right these are

01:06:37.640 not things that are difficult like okay we'll compromise these things are a massive advantage

01:06:41.460 for our country that we refuse to do.

01:06:43.620 That are obvious.

01:06:44.520 Yeah.

01:06:44.920 Obvious.

01:06:45.660 Self-evidently so.

01:06:47.440 And this is entirely down to the failure of our state.

01:06:50.680 However, there is another aspect to all of this as well,

01:06:53.400 which is the fact that because the Americans have now gone down this route

01:06:57.740 of wavering some ambiguity over who the Falklands actually belong to,

01:07:03.140 according to them, well, this has obviously emboldened Mille,

01:07:07.000 and I know that you cover Argentinian and the economy.

01:07:11.180 Yeah, I like him insofar as he's restructuring their economy, but this is something that there's no need for him to do, and he's doing it to appease Trump.

01:07:21.080 But also as well, well, Trump has enabled him, but there is another aspect to it as well, which is that, well, obviously, he talks about the fact he's saying, well, I mean, he's using very, very crude language.

01:07:31.400 But one of the things that's talked about is the fact that the demographics of the Falklands,

01:07:38.440 it's like, well, they all voted to stay part of Britain in a referendum.

01:07:43.460 And Millet is saying, yeah, they would, because they're all ethnically British.

01:07:48.060 Which is a really good point, and certainly levels some questions about the composition of places like Birmingham and London,

01:07:57.100 because it's obvious.

01:07:58.500 anyway the point is that this has all gone on quite a lot and there's a there's another thing

01:08:04.740 as well here because you wouldn't just go to all of this effort for a bunch of rocks in the middle

01:08:10.740 of the atlantic if they actually brought no value to you there is obviously the question of the oil

01:08:15.800 firms as well and this is quite significant as well because as the bbc tell us um the sea line

01:08:22.500 oil field which is around 130 miles from the islands contains an estimated 1.7 billion barrels

01:08:29.740 of oil and in comparison the rosebank oil field 80 miles west of the shetland islands in the north

01:08:36.900 sea contains an estimated 300 million barrels so obviously there is an enormous um pressure on

01:08:45.720 there in terms of protecting british interests over the over the oil and also as well the israelis

01:08:51.920 also have um quite a hand in it as well um in terms of their shares in uh in navitas which is

01:08:59.960 a one or two firms out there uh that talks about this but mille said if we do not act swiftly

01:09:05.460 in a few months they will have the material capacity to access the oil that lies underneath

01:09:11.800 our sea something that has never happened before and so now all of a sudden there is this race

01:09:18.020 against the clock of trying to get to the islands before all of these firms actually start drilling

01:09:24.720 and after they've set themselves up there, which is another pressure that didn't exist prior.

01:09:31.780 But there is another element to all of this as well, and one that I'm afraid just simply cannot

01:09:36.700 be ignored, which is the fact that one of the... So it's a little bit complicated. On the one hand,

01:09:44.200 And I think that people, and certainly the Israelis, gravely misunderstand the British position.

01:09:51.600 The British state, from the best that I can discern it myself, is not innately anti-Israel.

01:09:58.040 The demographic situation of our country, with more and more of these foreigners being anti-Israeli,

01:10:06.760 many of them because they've come from the Middle East,

01:10:09.040 have pushed the Labour Party in particular and the Green Party because it was an open door

01:10:15.560 towards a more and more hostile position to the Israelis.

01:10:20.100 Now this is obviously not something unique to the left

01:10:22.540 and I am someone myself who has many many criticisms of Israel

01:10:26.880 but for them to merely say as I'll go on to here

01:10:30.800 when we get Netanyahu's son himself

01:10:34.180 who goes on to talk about the fact it's like

01:10:36.700 well you have a pro-Palestinian government right now and so for that dictates that we are able to

01:10:44.520 get between you and your sovereign territory because we're very chummy with Argentina which

01:10:51.020 is something that was demonstrable from the World Cup actually not that long ago but all of these

01:10:56.600 things are intersecting in such a way that it's actually more a case of the fact that Britain

01:11:02.420 didn't do its bit amongst this now triumvirate of nations that are just, you know, between America

01:11:09.420 and Israel, which is the two nations, of course, that wanted the confrontation with Iran in the

01:11:16.000 first place. And Starmer, perhaps, speculatively, one of the reasons, and it was reported so at the

01:11:24.760 time that this might have been one of them, one of the reasons he obviously didn't want to get

01:11:28.840 involved was because he didn't want to further alienate the muslim voter base that he had built

01:11:34.880 up over several decades it's shocking with the international ramifications that has had i mean

01:11:40.660 he i mean this guy's an idiot and this is disgusting and he's he's alienated everyone

01:11:44.520 in britain but the idea that israel can go around saying oh yeah britain's hostile really because

01:11:48.820 starman wanted to appease his base as you say and he made that statement about palestine being a

01:11:53.720 state whatever which was just sort of arbitrary nonsense to appease his voters lip service yeah

01:11:57.800 And they've taken it very seriously.

01:11:58.740 They still hate him.

01:11:59.820 The Palestinian supporters still hate the Labour Party

01:12:03.460 for not going far enough or for selling them out

01:12:06.220 or whatever it may be.

01:12:08.180 So the idea that the Labour Party are vehemently pro-Palestinian

01:12:14.160 is just a lie.

01:12:17.040 It is a position that they have been reluctantly dragged to.

01:12:20.940 Yeah, well, as soon as Starmer didn't get totally involved

01:12:23.040 in the Iran war, he went and told a lot of that sort

01:12:25.900 of Muslim congregation.

01:12:26.680 i can't remember what it was iftar or something like we didn't get involved they all like applauded

01:12:30.220 it was this really weird display of going and pandering his voters anyway yeah absolutely um

01:12:36.480 but anyway he went on this absolutely unhinged rant um about how britain is not britain flattened

01:12:43.400 germany during world war ii killing millions of german civilians the casualties caused by british

01:12:48.860 forces in afghanistan iraq were also much higher than those in gaza this and the other but the

01:12:53.420 entire thing just speaks of it's like look i just really get the feeling this guy hates britain

01:12:58.020 not a bit much to have a go as about the germans that we sort of we liberated you you're welcome

01:13:03.000 i mean that's like for israel to say that is it takes some balls if it really is israel saying

01:13:08.800 or if it's just netanyahu's wayward son mouthing off i don't know yeah anyway i've just seen for

01:13:13.480 time so i'll skip along a bit but all of this is to say as well that um as it comes along it's like

01:13:19.780 well the Falkland Islands belong to Argentina and as I said this is Netanyahu's son this is someone

01:13:25.140 who will have conversations within these the top echelons of Israeli circles and I've also seen

01:13:31.580 people from the Israeli state also being sympathetic to the Argentinian plea for the Falklands but

01:13:38.960 sorry you were going to no I'm just saying that they have a good relationship now with Millay

01:13:43.480 also with Trump of course they want to invest in Argentina so there is a sort of you know alliance

01:13:49.440 they are forming yeah quite um but as we have one mp uh good old rupert lowe saying well you have

01:13:56.280 enough problems to be focused on in israel netanyahu the falkland islands are british and

01:14:01.120 will remain that way a restore britain government will go to war if necessary to ensure the

01:14:06.600 sovereignty i want to say something here which uh i detect a pattern here and i'm happy to see that

01:14:12.680 many people are telling them off about this is just several officials from israel are routinely

01:14:18.980 being very aggressive in the way that they're putting forward statements which suggest and

01:14:26.420 they're they're they're based on the assumption that the government and the people is the same

01:14:31.140 thing which they're not and i'm happy to see also in the comment section people were really

01:14:38.040 criticizing him they they didn't like that and all of them were saying basically you're not doing

01:14:43.100 yourself any favors this way no you aren't exactly winning friends no and also as well and sorry let

01:14:48.560 to just say this during the sauta crisis is just yeah you hate sanchez you have a beef with sanchez

01:14:54.260 but so do so many spaniards why are you trying to suddenly portray all these spaniards as

01:15:02.120 sanchez uh appreciators in the same way here with with uh with british or in the same way so i'd be

01:15:09.180 much smarter given elections coming up to just lend support if you were israel to conservatives

01:15:14.720 or reform both of whom are incredibly pro-israel so you have a instead of saying it's britain and

01:15:18.940 britain's evil you've got a labor government that's a bit dodgy for reasons discussed but

01:15:23.560 you've got potential uh other parties so wildly pro-israel so many friends but also i just don't

01:15:30.140 buy it actually i just don't buy the idea that from the israeli position it's well you're you've

01:15:37.440 you know, sorry, what's the word I'm looking for?

01:15:41.260 You've recognized Palestine and, you know,

01:15:44.960 your government are becoming more and more Palestinian friendly.

01:15:50.900 And therefore we have decided begrudgingly to kind of, you know,

01:15:57.540 throw in our endorsement to the Argentinians.

01:15:59.840 It's like, well, well, I mean, this wouldn't be the first time

01:16:03.920 that you've funded the Argentinians against us, would it?

01:16:06.720 Right. And that was at the time when Margaret Thatcher was prime minister, who was one of the most pro-Israeli prime ministers that we've actually had.

01:16:15.980 So let's not pretend that this is all circumstantial on things that the British government have been doing in the past two years or so, when actually it's very obvious that there has always been some tension between our two governments, and that actually, like so many, it's very often that our interests diverge from one another.

01:16:37.260 um so we also get to the point that it's like okay well what does millier intend to do about

01:16:42.960 all of this well he gave a speech a presidential speech to the argentinian people and basically

01:16:48.800 includes that there's going to be sanctions targeting those directly and indirectly involved

01:16:53.080 in the oil exploration around the islands the creation of a military base on tierra del fuego

01:16:59.600 focused on the falkland islands and the creation of a national security council a new framework for

01:17:05.540 protection of critical infrastructure aerospace security and maritime security personally i think

01:17:12.020 they're bluffing but what they are definitely exposing is the unwillingness of the british

01:17:17.700 government to defend its soil exactly i don't think i don't think that millet who is right now

01:17:23.860 trying to change his country and change the economy of his country and in in many ways he's

01:17:30.020 succeeding despite uh despite let's say forecast let's say that he would instantly fail i don't

01:17:38.180 see how right now him invading wouldn't have tremendous ramifications from the international

01:17:45.780 community that would backfire it's not enough for trump or israel to tell him we are going to back

01:17:52.260 you that's not enough well this would backfire on him so i think he's bluffing and yeah i totally

01:17:59.460 get it it is annoying to see i totally get this it's a pity when you know you don't have margaret

01:18:06.580 thatcher ruling the country and someone like that far there is no i mean in this case she was she

01:18:12.260 did prove herself worthy of the of it yeah and she did also try restructure many of the of the

01:18:18.680 failings of of the economic failings of britain at the time and you have someone like starman

01:18:24.040 burnham saying okay yeah uh this is gonna cost me some money from the nhs so maybe give them away

01:18:29.360 It's hard to think of a worse person to be in charge during any military conflict than Andy Burnham.

01:18:34.760 Other than Starmer, they'd be two of the worst candidates.

01:18:38.860 So this entire thing is endlessly frustrating.

01:18:41.960 But once again, as you come down to, as we were speaking about with Ceuta Stelios,

01:18:47.200 even if there are threats made that we don't think are going to be carried out,

01:18:52.740 it is always in the best interest of any nation to take those threats somewhat seriously.

01:18:57.780 And when it comes to such a thing, of course, we see the state of the Argentinian Navy.

01:19:02.940 Now, it's not doing brilliantly.

01:19:05.060 It's ranked about 45 of the 18 navies worldwide.

01:19:08.480 And for all of the dishevelment and degradation of the British Navy,

01:19:14.020 well, in terms of beating out the Royal, sorry, the Royal Navy beating out the Arges, it definitely could.

01:19:19.380 However, of course, there is also the issue of aircraft as well.

01:19:22.920 And the Falklands are, of course, a lot closer to Argentina.

01:19:26.160 and that's kind of what this is, the claim is based on,

01:19:29.380 is the fact that, well, you know, according to some analysis,

01:19:33.360 they don't currently possess any credible power to actually threaten the Falkland Islands,

01:19:37.940 but it is interesting to see how these geopolitical alliances are shifting

01:19:43.480 and how America is obviously pulling away from us

01:19:47.520 and how, of course, Israel would sort of love nothing more, it seems,

01:19:52.240 than to also see us beaten at this in the same way

01:19:55.520 that they were gleeful about what happened in Ceuta and so there are a lot of moving pieces to

01:20:00.800 all of this and we'll obviously pay attention to it as it moves forward but in terms of the future

01:20:06.380 of the Falkland Islands I obviously believe them to be British the people upon the islands believe

01:20:12.100 them to be British they feel British and that should be good enough. I'd always back our navy

01:20:18.560 can I just add even though they're depleted they're still the best yes and they would definitely win

01:20:23.740 and who knows it could be good for the country could could focus our minds and make us see that

01:20:29.160 we need to spend on military and yeah i mean even that i i have concerns though about anyway well

01:20:35.920 i'd rather not get into it but i'm just saying we'd know we'd win if we had to if we're gonna

01:20:39.540 yeah so there you are you've been told all right um i'll just go through this oh sorry samson can

01:20:48.320 just read the rumble rants thank you uh engaged few says funny thing the closest island to deer

01:20:54.240 island is named lotus island well what a coinkydink engaged few says why is this even a question

01:20:59.520 margaret thatcher sank a battleship over this very issue yeah it was a good moment uh that's

01:21:06.720 a random name says uh they see no distinction between people and the government uh because

01:21:11.360 they see all europeans ascendants of roman empire and therefore enemies when you understand this it

01:21:16.240 makes perfect sense uh i mean it's a point to dwell on i'll um not tell me well well for the

01:21:24.560 sake of time and we've got lads are coming up as well so we do need to to end but um we have we

01:21:30.560 have time right so samson we have some videos rumor goes around i see you giving me the thumbs up

01:21:39.680 samsung there is doing his tricks operating smoothly he's a smooth operator

01:21:48.560 yes mate

01:21:53.700 this is a following question from the previous yesterday's topic of whether if nigel blew it

01:22:02.480 or not and this is a question about the nature of british politics and westminster

01:22:07.000 containment is the westminster liberal form of containment the ultimate powerful containment

01:22:14.840 system to ever devise and in democratic history is it so invincible that it can basically destroy

01:22:22.080 all domestic and foreign foes completely is it invincible i think that's a question for

01:22:29.300 carl did carl and dan do this um yeah no i was on it yesterday as well but um i wouldn't say it's

01:22:35.940 invincible it's uh it's certainly tenacious yeah um but ultimately it it creates a fog

01:22:42.980 um about society where people think a system is working honestly um and you know and organically

01:22:50.620 according to where they go but actually it's straight jacketed all the time by people that

01:22:55.980 you don't you haven't even heard of let's go to the next one one way we could speed up the

01:23:01.980 remigration process for illegal migrants coming across the Channel would be to

01:23:07.920 take them directly from being picked up on the beaches to the old hover speed

01:23:15.000 terminal. You'd need to recommission the last remaining passenger and car

01:23:20.280 transporting hovercraft that used to operate that route but that shouldn't be

01:23:24.480 too hard it's in a museum in Ramsgate. Then with the necessary migrant

01:23:29.400 reprocessing and security features at the terminal they could be swiftly loaded onto the hovercraft

01:23:34.920 and then offloaded on a french beach at the end of a 45 minute journey they could do multiple trips

01:23:42.780 every day

01:23:43.780 if i'm the expert on that you're the poll you're drafting policy it sounds like the kind of thing

01:23:53.500 Callum used to have the camp.

01:23:56.200 Yeah, let's look at Whitby.

01:24:03.480 Is there going to be dancing?

01:24:09.940 There's dancing.

01:24:10.860 it all looks so wholesome i wish i was uh i really love with me it's one of my favorite places

01:24:34.840 name okay let's go on tuesday the 1st of september i bumped into karl and we got to talking we talked

01:24:40.960 about the upcoming warhammer 40 000 to total war game and he was saying he didn't like the idea he

01:24:46.180 preferred dawn of war 4 and things like that and i said i was cautiously optimistic and i very

01:24:50.300 specifically remember using that phrase what do i see the very next day he copied my whole fucking

01:24:57.220 flow word for word bar for bar do you know what this means it means that i'm the vizier whispering

01:25:03.580 is here i'm the grima worm tongue influencing his thoughts yeah well i don't know anything

01:25:10.680 about warhammer but i do know a thing i'll tell about grima worm songs so i was saying he nicked

01:25:15.500 that okay uh this is the soph the video sophie live really wants us to play but should we

01:25:21.680 should be sophie another sketchbook showcase and i finally feel confident enough to do a lot of the

01:25:28.620 rings it is quite incredible with that much incredible law they just refuse to do it right

01:25:36.420 i mean that is not just incompetence that gotta be ignorance those are awesome that they are great

01:25:44.800 ring raves that's fantastic sophie and the gandalf was really good too yeah keep it up they're

01:25:49.880 tremendous okay let's go to the comment omar award says if a football club arranged an unannounced

01:25:59.520 game with 50 000 fans arriving without warning they'd be screaming about security food and the

01:26:05.060 burden on services and facilities absolutely and just the very idea that morocco had no knowledge

01:26:11.380 of the event is really stupid it's like there are 70 000 people just about to cross the border

01:26:19.280 and the government doesn't know.

01:26:20.940 No one buys that.

01:26:22.600 Michael Drabobo says

01:26:23.640 Pedro Sanchez is giving space

01:26:25.360 a huge, dirty Sanchez.

01:26:27.660 Sanchez.

01:26:28.480 The migrants are doing the job

01:26:29.660 Spaniards won't.

01:26:30.880 Like, vote for leftists.

01:26:33.100 Jimbo G.

01:26:34.900 Pedro Sanchez sickens me

01:26:36.200 there is nothing these communists

01:26:37.720 won't bestow upon others

01:26:39.000 to line their own pockets

01:26:40.160 in the short term.

01:26:41.420 Yes.

01:26:42.300 Lord Inquisitor Hector Rex says

01:26:44.740 not getting tuberculosis

01:26:46.220 is clearly racist.

01:26:47.540 now stay aside and stop noticing he also says stelius's secret society requires a mr freeze

01:26:54.640 pun as part of the entry absolutely that's exactly what i'm gonna do yeah for the ice breakers the

01:27:01.160 allow me to break the ice right derek lord and master of chippies the one upshot with secret

01:27:08.700 societies getting woke is not that because the woke won't ever stfe about anything those secret

01:27:15.620 societies will be more exposed i think that this was um a comment about the other segment but let

01:27:22.280 me just infiltrating your segment let me just it's like infiltrating secret societies to make

01:27:28.200 them better yeah yeah richard johnson says when this country went from 12 000 rapes in 2000 to

01:27:34.160 72 000 rapes in 2025 i can't work out what happened between 2000 and 2025 but this island looks like

01:27:42.800 it's going to get the same treatment hopefully not but the numbers are bad all across europe

01:27:48.800 and lancelot says life's a bitch not a beach where you go and swim all right okay and then

01:27:58.300 you get squatted on yeah we've got one minute so should i bomb through some of mine we can take

01:28:04.200 an extra minute to give the voice to our people so um we will annie moss says i have never given

01:28:11.160 a dime to the institutions where I got my degree and I never will. Alumni need to know that

01:28:14.600 universities are crap and not worth supporting in any way. And Nick's session illustrates that

01:28:18.600 they're universally woke and not into meritocracy. Correct. Omar, access destroyed the elite like

01:28:23.400 Obama phones destroyed the internet. It was leagues better when only giga-autists and

01:28:27.620 well-connected were allowed in. Correct. Jimbo, regarding Nick's segment, it's like the classic

01:28:32.160 meme. We demand you let us in. Okay, now we're in. You must completely change it to our beliefs.

01:28:36.240 If you don't like it, leave. Wait, you actually left and started a new thing. We demand you let

01:28:39.840 as in, correct, Lord

01:28:41.680 Hector X can't wait for the

01:28:43.780 first headline of a transman

01:28:45.520 suing to be allowed into a secret society

01:28:48.040 and he again says men cannot

01:28:49.720 have their own spaces secret or otherwise. I know

01:28:51.720 it's very annoying. And Ewan says

01:28:53.920 feminists never mentioned their invasion of

01:28:55.780 male spaces. Exactly.

01:28:57.780 Luca? Michael de Belva

01:28:59.900 says going to war without the English is like

01:29:01.900 going to war without boots.

01:29:03.600 All the most basic gear. If the English don't

01:29:05.860 want to come out for a fight, it's probably not

01:29:07.860 a good fight well to be fair we did come out for world war one and that wasn't a good fight so uh

01:29:13.940 but jimbo g says uh wonderful mafia style uh optics from uh yaya netanyahu either you participate

01:29:21.520 and support israel's agenda or it will be bad for you uh yeah that does seem to be his attitude um

01:29:27.580 and uh mother of uh hate monsters says while i suspect politicians to be spying with sobs these

01:29:33.700 days it annoys me more uh that burnham won't shut up about being a northerner yet can't manage a

01:29:39.240 simple northern uh try and try and take it or i'll fucking nut you yeah yeah quite yeah right so do

01:29:47.720 you look at do you see this on your screens women's frontal lobes and that's where that's
