00:00:00.100 Hello, and welcome to the podcast of The Lotus Eaters, episode 1,518 for Thursday, the 1st of October, 2026.
00:00:08.780 We're almost to the end of the year, boys. What an event for one it's been.
00:00:13.120 Yep, yep. It's gone quickly.
00:00:14.700 It has. It has.
00:00:16.360 Anyway, today, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to be telling you all about how women in America are destroying the justice system. 0.96
00:00:23.400 We're then going to be talking about France's permanent revolution. 0.98
00:00:26.780 and then we're going to be having a good old-fashioned game 0.78
00:00:30.240 of Chinese whispers
00:00:31.440 because there are lots of things about to talk about
00:00:34.840 when it comes to Chinese influence in Britain.
00:00:38.180 So, yes, do stick around for that.
00:00:40.940 Announcements, I just want to draw attention once more
00:00:43.160 to the fact that Samson, Bo, and I had a wonderful,
00:00:46.620 I've had a great three-part conversation
00:00:49.160 all about Bernard Cornwell's Sharps Tiger,
00:00:52.680 chronologically the first novel in the Sharps series
00:00:55.920 with him as a young private in the army
00:00:58.740 at the Siege of Syringapotam with Colonel Arthur Wellesley.
00:01:03.620 And it was just great.
00:01:04.840 I mean, you've just got three guys really passionate 1.00
00:01:07.040 about Britain, Empire, and Sharp just shooting the shit. 0.99
00:01:11.760 And I don't know what to tell you. 0.99
00:01:12.620 People really enjoy it, so go tune in.
00:01:15.640 With all that said, then, Firas, over to you, sir.
00:01:18.880 Sorry, before you start your segment,
00:01:20.520 Samson, can you make sure the builders aren't using power tools
00:01:22.820 while we're recording? Thanks.
00:01:24.740 Just noticed that, myself.
00:01:25.920 OK.
00:01:26.920 OK.
00:01:27.920 Thank you.
00:01:28.920 Very good.
00:01:29.920 Sorry.
00:01:30.920 A lot of maintenance going on, ladies and gentlemen.
00:01:33.920 You will see the fruits of it when it's all finished.
00:01:36.920 But yeah, could be a bit longer yet.
00:01:40.920 But it's coming along nicely.
00:01:42.920 It is.
00:01:43.920 It is.
00:01:44.920 All right.
00:01:45.920 So let's start with what happened. 1.00
00:01:47.920 And before we draw the inevitable conclusion that every day we find more proof that women 1.00
00:01:53.920 have been given too many rights and shouldn't be involved in the justice system. In Tennessee, 1.00
00:02:01.460 a death row inmate called Krista Pike survived her attempted execution. She had specifically
00:02:09.260 asked for an all-female execution team. She had been on death row for 30 something years. 1.00
00:02:16.320 She had asked for it. And they said yes and did it. And they said yes. And it seems that they did
00:02:20.900 and there were a bunch of things that went wrong.
00:02:25.260 The witnesses at the execution said
00:02:28.440 that they'd never seen anything like it,
00:02:30.360 even though some of them were journalists who had been-
00:02:32.260 Some sort of Houdini trick.
00:02:34.100 Yes, quite a number of executions.
00:02:36.520 She received two injections
00:02:38.740 and apparently all that happened
00:02:43.080 was that she fell asleep and snored very loudly.
00:02:47.380 It's not quite the same as death, is it?
00:02:49.160 Not quite the same. Not quite the same.
00:02:51.800 It always says sleep and death are sisters or something, but they're not quite the same.
00:02:55.940 So she survived an execution, a bit like Hakesville.
00:02:59.100 Right, yeah, yeah. 0.87
00:03:00.320 You can't kill her. She's unkillable. 1.00
00:03:03.160 One AP journalist says, I would say that Pike appeared noticeably awake as the execution began,
00:03:11.380 which is unusual because they're typically drugged.
00:03:13.820 The blinds were closed for the first time to the execution chamber at 746.
00:03:17.680 They open again at 7.49, her mouth fell open, the curtain closed for the final time at 8.06
00:03:25.080 and she could be heard loudly snoring, clearly very alive in the chamber until the media witnesses
00:03:32.200 were told to leave the area at 8.53. So over the course of an hour, it just didn't happen.
00:03:40.300 I'm picturing quite an elaborate scenario with like people standing there behind a glass window
00:03:47.120 and there's curtains being drawn and undrawn
00:03:49.240 and I imagine there's some sort of gurney or hospital table she's on 0.98
00:03:53.400 and there's doctors around, women doctors, and they're injecting her 0.87
00:03:56.900 and the whole thing's actually a shambles and she doesn't die. 0.55
00:04:00.440 Yeah, this is not like just one lone woman switching the syringes out.
00:04:06.100 This seems to be an entire conspiracy.
00:04:08.640 Well, we don't know that.
00:04:09.980 We don't know if it was that the drugs were old and went bad
00:04:13.560 because they chemically dissolve
00:04:15.840 and because the more reputable drug companies
00:04:19.120 sometimes refuse to sell drugs for executions.
00:04:22.280 We don't know exactly what happened.
00:04:24.360 I'm not going to speculate on it.
00:04:25.600 Fair enough.
00:04:26.320 Do you know what I've always thought is odd, though?
00:04:28.900 The way the death by lethal injection thing
00:04:31.640 seems to me overly elaborate.
00:04:33.420 There's certain drugs that you could inject into you
00:04:36.500 and within moments it will stop your heart
00:04:38.280 or make you brain dead very, very, very quickly,
00:04:40.880 a thousand times over, no problem.
00:04:42.740 Those sorts of chemicals and drugs exist.
00:04:44.560 Oh, dude, Socrates.
00:04:46.080 Right, yeah, just hemlock.
00:04:47.960 But no, there's a thing where they knock you out,
00:04:50.200 like a general anaesthetic,
00:04:51.440 then it paralyzes your diaphragm or something,
00:04:53.420 and you relatively slowly suffocate.
00:04:56.960 It all seems, and there's another,
00:04:58.220 and there's three injections, I don't know.
00:04:59.620 It all seems overly elaborate.
00:05:00.880 If you're going to do it that way, 0.97
00:05:03.220 give them something that kills you pretty quick. 0.97
00:05:05.540 That's one thing. 1.00
00:05:06.520 The other thing is that nothing beats hanging
00:05:08.460 as an execution method.
00:05:10.060 Oh, yeah.
00:05:10.720 Because it leads to the neck.
00:05:12.180 instantly breaking, and that sort of paralyzes all sensation, and you die. So the most efficient,
00:05:20.200 least painful way of killing someone, you're going to kill someone for a horrible crime that they did, 0.98
00:05:25.660 they can expect a little bit of pain. There is this issue of misplaced compassion, which I'm
00:05:30.180 going to get to, and which we will discuss. Now, as usual, there is a massive campaign to sort of
00:05:36.980 spare her life and this campaign had been going on for some time and saying that she wasn't
00:05:42.980 responsible for her actions because she had lived a terrible life. Undoubtedly, in her case, she seems
00:05:49.420 to have had a rough life. Sure. But it's worth first starting with what she did and with her 0.64
00:05:56.920 victim and with the family of her victim at what they want and then thinking about where should
00:06:04.120 our compassion be because we're living in an age where compassion is given to the murderer and to
00:06:09.120 the criminal but is not given to the victim and their families and that's the fundamental issue
00:06:15.080 here interesting so i don't actually know what she did i know she murdered another woman when
00:06:18.660 she was young when they were both young in what the 90s but i don't know any of the details of
00:06:22.740 what actually went down well the details are genuinely horrible oh okay all right uh the
00:06:28.600 details are absolutely horrific. So Krista Gail Pike, student at the Job Corps Center at the time
00:06:35.280 in Knoxville, Tennessee, told her friend, Kim Iloilo, who was also a student, that she wanted
00:06:43.120 to kill that person by name, her victim, Colleen Slammer, because she had felt mean that day.
00:06:51.600 So the day before killing Colleen, she told a friend that she planned on killing her.
00:06:58.320 So it was obviously premeditated.
00:07:01.020 Then they, she and two accomplices
00:07:05.900 lure the victim somewhere out of the way
00:07:09.240 and proceed to torture her for 30 minutes to an hour. 1.00
00:07:13.460 Oh, good grief. 1.00
00:07:15.220 They hit her with a knife. 0.89
00:07:17.020 They hit her with a miniature cleaver
00:07:18.460 and they smashed her head with a large piece of asphalt
00:07:22.940 to the extent that her skull fractured
00:07:26.500 into multiple pieces.
00:07:27.540 Because she had just felt mean.
00:07:30.520 She felt mean, and apparently she was worried
00:07:33.960 that the victim was trying to steal her boyfriend.
00:07:39.280 That's her explanation of it.
00:07:41.720 So they...
00:07:43.440 And after she killed her, 0.88
00:07:46.620 she took a piece of her skull as a souvenir. 0.64
00:07:50.560 Hmm.
00:07:52.220 She took a piece of her skull as a souvenir.
00:07:55.060 That is a little bit serial killer territory.
00:07:57.040 Yeah, it's a trophy.
00:07:58.820 Yes.
00:07:59.560 And she explained to the same friend that she had cut the victim's throat six times,
00:08:04.760 beaten her, thrown asphalt at her head.
00:08:08.040 She said that the victim had begged them, her and her accomplices, to stop.
00:08:14.300 But she didn't stop because she kept on talking.
00:08:18.000 And then there's a full confession given to the police afterwards
00:08:21.860 in which she describes what she did.
00:08:24.740 and there's no clear evidence of remorse at the time.
00:08:32.240 She said that after she smashed a piece of asphalt
00:08:37.900 against the victim's head,
00:08:39.140 she then took smaller pieces 1.00
00:08:41.720 and kept on throwing them at her, 1.00
00:08:44.080 hit her with a meat cleaver 0.92
00:08:46.080 and cut a pentagram into her 0.98
00:08:49.120 because her and her friends at the time
00:08:51.980 had been into Satanism
00:08:54.560 and had necklaces with pentagrams on them.
00:08:59.660 And her accomplice was referred to by his friends
00:09:03.020 as baby Satan.
00:09:06.600 And the next day she kept the piece of skull with her
00:09:10.600 and her friend asked her
00:09:16.440 if she still had that piece of skull.
00:09:18.160 And she said it was in her pocket
00:09:19.920 and said, yes, I'm eating breakfast with it.
00:09:24.560 So let's sort of start there before we start with the compassion that is unduly given to this woman. 0.66
00:09:32.180 She then told another friend that she had done this and that she had the victim's blood and brains pouring out with the horror that she has inflicted.
00:09:47.360 The police interview is considerably more harrowing because she goes into detail about how the victim was begging that they would leave her alone, how she was trying to bargain for her life, how she tried to get up and run away a few times and then they caught her and dragged her back and kept on killing her.
00:10:05.040 And the crime scene ended up being an area of 100 feet by 60 feet.
00:10:11.300 So the poor victim was dragged around a pretty large area as she was trying to escape.
00:10:18.640 And her blood and brains were pretty much scattered everywhere.
00:10:21.760 This is harrowing.
00:10:22.880 This is genuinely harrowing.
00:10:24.560 This is genuinely harrowing.
00:10:26.060 But we are seeing yet again women intervening and saying that actually because the murderer had had a difficult life, she should be pardoned and really she shouldn't be executed and really she's in fact the victim of her circumstances, which is what led her to being killed.
00:10:49.440 You know, there are many, many people out there in the world who have really traumatic and quite difficult upbringings who actually don't go on to become torturous, sadistic maniacs who take people's schools as trophies.
00:11:05.260 You kind of preempted one of my points because the murderer has a half-sister and her half-sister went on to start a family, become a good mother, live a good life and be at peace with herself.
00:11:21.420 And she says in her testimony in court, look, I've managed to find peace and I've managed to basically set up a decent family and do what I'm required to do.
00:11:31.720 um the policeman on the scene first thought that the corpse of the victim was in fact an animal
00:11:39.800 because it had been so badly mutilated it was only when he uh noticed the victim's uh
00:11:49.040 upper body that he realized that this was actually a human being that's like jack the ripper yeah
00:11:55.160 territory this is how brutal it was and she'd committed this crime with two accomplices one
00:12:00.500 of them who helped her with the beating and with the killing, and the other who stood as a lookout.
00:12:06.180 One of them was her boyfriend at the time, who we can see here, I think.
00:12:13.300 Not too worried then about losing him to another woman, if your boyfriend's going to be complicit
00:12:19.980 in this barbarity. Yeah, his name is Tadaril Ship, and the other one, the friend, is called
00:12:27.220 Shadola Peterson. And Ship was 17 at the time of the murder. And so the death penalty could not be
00:12:37.800 considered an option for his trial. But by all accounts, from the confession that she made to
00:12:43.740 the police, she did the bulk of the work. He participated, and he certainly hit the victim
00:12:53.280 a bunch of times and stabbed her,
00:12:55.300 but the idea itself
00:12:57.420 and luring the victim
00:12:59.720 and the whole setup was her.
00:13:02.680 And then after the murder,
00:13:04.560 the next day while the police were,
00:13:06.180 while investigating,
00:13:07.160 or a couple of days
00:13:07.760 after the body was investigated,
00:13:09.800 the killer shows up with a couple,
00:13:12.600 with a few friends to the police line
00:13:15.200 and starts asking a bunch of questions
00:13:18.100 and seems to be in a giddy state
00:13:19.940 and seems to be quite excited
00:13:23.040 and laughing and giggling about this thing.
00:13:27.020 Now, to be totally fair,
00:13:28.540 she has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
00:13:31.740 And I think here, one of the,
00:13:34.600 if we could zoom in on this one,
00:13:36.660 one of the psychologists that saw her
00:13:39.020 claims that she had some evidence of brain damage
00:13:43.640 from an early age due to the circumstances of her birth
00:13:48.580 and things like that.
00:13:49.780 She was born prematurely.
00:13:51.020 But what is being presented here is a particular type of morality, which is that if you are suffering, it is only logical that you go ahead and inflict as much suffering as possible on random innocent people around you.
00:14:08.960 And it comes with a purely mechanical understanding
00:14:11.620 of human beings that robs them of any kind of agency.
00:14:16.160 The claim underlying the sympathy posts that we see here 0.89
00:14:22.080 about what kind of rough life that she had.
00:14:24.900 This post seems to exaggerate some of the things
00:14:27.520 that have happened to her, but what is not in dispute
00:14:30.780 is that she was neglected as a child.
00:14:32.720 She's from a family of alcoholics. 1.00
00:14:35.100 She might've been raped. 0.99
00:14:37.200 she's had a rough childhood. She's had a rough life. Horrible. There is no denying that. But 0.99
00:14:43.580 what's claimed by her supporters is that that, therefore, naturally leads to these outcomes,
00:14:52.600 to a sadistic session of torture and murder that was premeditated and that should go essentially
00:15:00.000 unpunished. And also, as well, you're basically just enabling it for anyone else who might have
00:15:04.920 these unfortunate conditions that actually, if you are diagnosed with bipolar disorder or any
00:15:10.200 other case, you know, they might give excuse for, you have an extra layer of defence in the law
00:15:16.400 if you ever wished, for whatever reason, to do something particularly terrible.
00:15:21.160 And you could go from that to argue that anybody with a mental illness is excused, 0.91
00:15:26.480 And that also all sadistic murderers or all murderers or all criminals are inherently mentally ill, either because they're low IQ and therefore they're borderline retarded or because they've had a rough upbringing and so on. 0.94
00:15:45.240 This denies human beings any kind of moral agency. 0.90
00:15:48.580 And even though this doctor explains a long litany of issues with her upbringing, the defense's own psychiatrist who examined her after the murder in 1995 said that, yes, she was bipolar, but there is no brain damage there.
00:16:09.660 she knows right from wrong, she is cogent, she is intelligent, she is a fully formed moral agent
00:16:19.720 and therefore she doesn't have any kind of insanity plea. The defense never once went for
00:16:28.020 any kind of insanity plea or any kind of claim that she didn't know what she was doing and she
00:16:35.060 didn't know right from wrong. Now, some of her defenders are saying, well, she was in a manic
00:16:40.940 episode, and that's why she tortured and murdered someone. But that leaves the question, well,
00:16:48.000 if you're too unwell to know that you can't murder people, what society should do with you
00:16:57.180 for purely consequentialist reasons is take you out of society permanently.
00:17:01.640 yeah this is what they're missing this is what this whole thing is is uh this is what's wrong
00:17:08.140 with this argument you can't deny the victim's justice out of compassion with the criminal
00:17:14.600 this is inherently an unhinged moral system and it doesn't get you anywhere
00:17:21.220 i don't really care what her what her upbringing was i don't care if she can't be trusted it's not
00:17:29.560 She can't be trusted, as you said.
00:17:32.060 Immediate proof that she had moral agency 0.99
00:17:35.480 in the fact that her half-sister had the same exact upbringing
00:17:39.940 but proceeded to build a normal life.
00:17:43.200 Quite often, if you have a brutal upbringing,
00:17:45.380 it could, should make you more empathetic towards that sort of thing.
00:17:50.580 And with...
00:17:51.420 It would make you more compassionate to your fellow human being.
00:17:55.240 Arguably, yes.
00:17:56.200 and so the claim here is that morality plays no role in deciding punishment and that really if
00:18:06.340 you've suffered then it's only right that you lash out it's justified morality plays a hand in
00:18:11.360 deciding law exactly and what they're trying to undermine completely is any notion of rule of law
00:18:19.460 and this is just one of the doctors who looked at her and tried to be a little bit more sympathetic
00:18:23.720 Now, what I want to bring in here is the perspective of the family and what they think.
00:18:31.460 And you see the mother of the victim, the mother of Colleen Slemmer, talking about her.
00:18:36.740 And I just want to spend a minute looking at this.
00:18:40.180 Oh, it's just muted.
00:18:41.540 ...a few days, but it's also important to report about her victim, Colleen Slemmer.
00:18:46.420 She was born on September 20th of 1975 in Orange Park, Florida.
00:18:50.260 According to Dateline's true crime podcast called True Crime Weekly, she grew up with her mother, Mae Martinez, her stepfather, and her younger sister.
00:18:59.740 Her teachers described her as really sweet, quiet, and mild-mannered.
00:19:04.140 Others described her as kind, with a genuine instinct for helping people.
00:19:09.120 Colleen didn't like doing things. She babysat. She loved anything to do with kids, you know.
00:19:16.040 And I think it was part of me because I had daycare for 40 years.
00:19:19.000 One of Colleen's biggest passions was computers. It's why she enrolled in Job Corps at 19 years old, to take a federal training program for computing. Her mother says she didn't want to go, but Colleen was independent and had made her decision. She left her hometown on Halloween of 1994, and that was the last time her family came to school.
00:19:40.000 so basically this by all accounts perfectly nice very sweet girl with dreams and ambitions
00:19:47.660 gets brutally murdered because no clear reasons i mean it seems that she didn't get on well
00:19:56.460 with the murderer uh okay that's how is that a defense how is that a defense for murder i don't
00:20:05.200 understand. Her mother still insists that the only right thing to do is to execute Krista Pike 0.99
00:20:17.220 because she's a murderer, because this is the only way to bring about justice. Every time I think
00:20:23.740 about it, I think about what her mother says. I think about Colleen feeling that pain and trying
00:20:29.260 to get up and run, Martinez told the Associated Press. She traveled to NSE, maybe now finally we
00:20:36.420 have justice. It may not bring my daughter back, but it might save another person from getting
00:20:42.220 killed because she will do it again. Now, in case you doubt that, what's her name, Krista Pike is
00:20:51.800 genuinely evil she says that she feels a kinship with lindsey clancy the woman who murdered three
00:21:00.680 of her children it's a slam dunk right there isn't it i mean back there you go uh she says that uh
00:21:10.360 she blames her mentor mental health even though her defense didn't go for a mental health defense
00:21:18.040 at all as well as racism oh yeah because her boyfriend at the time was black her accomplice 0.77
00:21:25.420 in the murder was black that is why she is being put to death i feel a kinship with lindsey pike
00:21:33.400 told the times of london um sorry when you go to the the allegation of racism because the boyfriend 0.92
00:21:41.100 and an assisting murderer was black. 0.71
00:21:43.420 Yes. 0.95
00:21:44.360 What is the actual through line,
00:21:47.240 like, to the end of that logic? 1.00
00:21:48.580 If they're black, you're allowed to just murder. 1.00
00:21:52.140 You're just allowed to because you're black, 1.00
00:21:54.080 and any attempt to stop you will be racist. 0.99
00:21:57.540 So she says,
00:21:58.940 we are both females who got into trouble 1.00
00:22:00.700 because of uniquely female issues.
00:22:04.280 And she is pleased that Clancy received a mistrial 0.88
00:22:08.220 because science about brain development has evolved.
00:22:13.360 It's evolved, it's clearly evolved in the wrong way
00:22:15.960 because it reduces us to purely mechanical beings
00:22:19.300 with no moral agency.
00:22:20.820 And if we are purely mechanical beings
00:22:22.560 with no moral agency,
00:22:23.960 what exactly is stopping her from killing again
00:22:26.420 when she sympathizes with a literal child murderer?
00:22:30.740 But also as well, this entire spin on it,
00:22:34.580 we are both females who got into trouble
00:22:37.060 because of uniquely female issues. 0.99
00:22:39.180 It's like, right, and you're also people who are finding 0.97
00:22:41.640 a remarkable and overwhelming, like, ridiculous, 0.79
00:22:45.720 insulting amount of sympathy because you're women as well. 0.96
00:22:49.220 Yes. 0.99
00:22:49.540 In a way that a man would simply never receive.
00:22:52.100 Exactly. Exactly. Exactly.
00:22:54.180 It'd just be case closed, you did it.
00:22:56.580 Completely. 1.00
00:22:57.160 So as well as being a psychopath, she's also completely shameless. 1.00
00:23:00.840 Yes. 1.00
00:23:03.200 Yes, exactly.
00:23:04.380 One understands the pressure points, though, doesn't she,
00:23:06.460 in a society that she can just sort of like,
00:23:09.500 oh, if I just prick this on the ground. 1.00
00:23:11.060 Which shows that she is a manipulative bitch 1.00
00:23:12.840 and that is how she got her first victim killed. 1.00
00:23:17.380 Now, I thought that I would sort of end this
00:23:20.160 with one of the speeches of Fulton Sheen,
00:23:24.800 who has now been sainted on false compassion.
00:23:30.820 Maybe it'll sort of awaken some people.
00:23:36.460 Is a pity that is shown not to the mugged, but to the mugger.
00:23:50.320 Not to the family of the murdered, but to the murderer. 1.00
00:23:53.940 Not to the woman who was r***ed, but to the r***ist. 1.00
00:23:57.280 Not to the poor girl who's given a shot of dope, 1.00
00:24:00.800 but to the rich boy who happens to come from a fine family.
00:24:03.660 There are some judges, some in some of our courts.
00:24:07.820 There are some social workers, not all. 0.53
00:24:10.780 There are sobsisters. 0.63
00:24:12.780 There are the social slobberers who insist on compassion
00:24:17.040 being shown to the muggers, to the dope fiends,
00:24:21.080 to the throat slashers, to the beatniks, 1.00
00:24:24.940 to the prostitutes, to the homosexuals, to the punks, 0.99
00:24:29.560 so that today the decent man is practically off the reservation. 0.99
00:24:34.960 This is the false compassion.
00:24:36.860 False compassion.
00:24:39.060 And then you see a piece sort of writing up some of his thoughts there
00:24:44.140 on false compassion and how evil false compassion is.
00:24:47.220 And that is exactly what we are seeing here.
00:24:49.940 This is false compassion to someone who doesn't deserve it,
00:24:52.900 who thinks that you can just murder because of hormones
00:24:56.400 or mental health or unique female issues 1.00
00:25:01.500 or whatever it is. 1.00
00:25:02.960 This is someone who tortured a girl to death
00:25:06.380 while she begged for her life. 0.80
00:25:09.540 And while torturing her and killing her, 0.97
00:25:11.880 she paused a couple of times 0.98
00:25:13.540 and then continued with it.
00:25:17.960 And now she says that she's sympathetic to child killers.
00:25:22.000 And women are writing sob stories 0.99
00:25:24.920 about how actually she's the victim here 1.00
00:25:27.800 because she had a rough life.
00:25:31.400 But they will show no compassion
00:25:33.040 for a woman who goes through the same circumstances
00:25:35.320 and ends up leading a good life
00:25:37.520 like her half-sister did.
00:25:40.320 These people are sort of ignored
00:25:42.800 and any kind of moral agency is completely ignored. 0.99
00:25:46.740 No, hang her. 0.99
00:25:48.980 And that's that. 1.00
00:25:50.160 Sorry, is she still alive?
00:25:52.180 She's still alive. 0.55
00:25:53.260 She's been taken to hospital now.
00:25:54.920 and but the sentence has already happened right so presumably it just gets done properly we don't
00:26:02.340 know we don't know right we don't know what happens next but the the worst thing is that
00:26:10.280 she is getting sympathy instead of okay everybody has a rough life maybe you've had it worse than
00:26:17.620 most but you're still a moral agent and you're still capable of knowing right from wrong and
00:26:23.240 clearly you haven't learned right from wrong yet because you're literally sympathizing with a
00:26:27.880 child killer well we'd hope that they do go back and finish the job yeah uh sigil stone says the
00:26:39.640 campaign to make execution humane is absolutely demonic we should never have stopped just 1.00
00:26:44.940 shooting them. And of course, yes, yes. Exodus 22, 18, justice, mercy for the wicked is cruelty 0.98
00:26:58.680 to the just, I believe, or something like that. 141, Paladin, I live in Washington state. The
00:27:05.680 previous governor, Jay Inslee, pardoned rapists and murderers and shook their hands personally.
00:27:10.840 so that makes him worse than them that makes him considerably worse than them because he's
00:27:18.080 encouraging them and others to continue doing these things this is much worse than than false
00:27:25.120 compassion although there's an element of that in there this is actual moral incitement to murder
00:27:31.880 and rape that's what you're seeing out of logan says out of all of the things happening in this
00:27:37.960 world why did you choose to ruin my morning with this a white pill would have been better oh you're 0.93
00:27:42.800 gonna have a rough show today man sorry and that's a random name with a predictable comment guys i
00:27:48.600 can fix her you cannot random name you cannot he knows he can't but he's uh let's just dark humor
00:27:55.060 obviously yeah yeah i know all right uh to my milk tray and a couple of roses she'll be good
00:28:01.880 Yeah. Sorry, can we translate this from frog into English just before I begin?
00:28:10.300 Very good.
00:28:12.280 Maybe. Okay, great. Thank you.
00:28:16.100 All right, ladies and gentlemen, as we all well know, the French are renowned for their rioting. 0.71
00:28:23.400 However, this is not something, this is far from the Yellow Vest protests that we obviously had that seemed to go on forever. 0.96
00:28:31.880 in recent years. This is a riot of the youth because, you know, it's French tradition and
00:28:38.720 they like to start them early, I suppose. But this is over the question of particularly secondary
00:28:45.620 schools across France. And as you can see here reported, back to school, still missing teachers
00:28:52.680 in 53% of middle and high schools, according to the first secondary school union. So I suppose I
00:29:00.100 would like to just begin by talking about the fact that some of the things that the students
00:29:05.000 have actually been protesting do seem to be legitimate. I've been through many an article
00:29:12.000 at this point and for years and years there are problems and issues that they are raising
00:29:16.980 that have been in the conversation about French education for quite a long time now and yet none
00:29:25.120 of these problems actually seem to be fixed. Wait, wait, because this is the first I'm hearing of
00:29:29.900 this entirely you started to say this morning in the office what it was about and i was like wait
00:29:33.840 save it for the right for the show so i can learn in real time so i didn't even know that so that's
00:29:40.240 half of secondary school teachers are just not turning up no no no there are gaps in the number
00:29:47.220 of staff oh what do you see including teachers okay they're just understaffed schools okay i got
00:29:53.740 it and this half of schools are understaffed okay okay this should be taken with a grain of salt
00:29:58.480 because this is the union speaking yes it is and the union needs more members because that is how
00:30:04.200 unions perpetuate themselves absolutely either way it's sort of suggesting people don't really
00:30:09.020 want to be secondary school teachers in france is that is that sort of what it is well there is
00:30:13.480 some of that as well of course the fact that the numbers are um you know not being filled they're
00:30:18.720 struggling to recruit yeah yeah okay all right um all right got it also as well you can see here
00:30:24.560 that in some cases as well, the classrooms are now being entirely overcrowded as well.
00:30:31.640 Now, this is remarkable because, of course, though the population of France has increased,
00:30:38.860 for example, while France's overall population has grown by about 15% since the mid-1990s, 0.92
00:30:45.480 largely due to immigration, of course, because they obviously have terrible birth rates amongst
00:30:50.840 the actual French people, the secondary school population has remained genuinely, generally flat
00:30:57.800 in those years since. And yet you find that the schools are now being overcrowded. And this is,
00:31:04.780 of course, something else that the students aren't happy with. Not only because when they get there
00:31:08.860 in the summer, as I'll come to as well. Sorry, that one's in frog too. I should have got these
00:31:14.780 straightened out into proper English beforehand. Apologies. But also as well, the fact that many
00:31:20.500 of them are in dilapidation. A lot of them are just, you know, because I went to a school that
00:31:25.860 had just clearly not seen the lick of paint since the 1980s. And it sounds like this is something
00:31:31.620 that a lot of French secondary schools are going through as well. So not only are the complaints
00:31:36.080 about rats and moulds, this is obviously not everywhere, but in the particular ones where
00:31:40.300 they're focusing on, where these schools that have become powder kegs for it, there is clearly
00:31:46.480 some issues being raised by the students about the actual conditions under which they're studying.
00:31:53.600 However, like any of those things, we find ourselves in a position where there might be
00:31:59.940 justified grievances. And as you say, Firas, as well, especially with the unions being those who
00:32:06.640 are pushing for this beforehand, well, when are the unions not ever going to advocate for more
00:32:12.480 money more gibbs especially when many of these uh secondary school populations are increasingly of
00:32:20.620 those of um uh foreign heritage and don't particularly care about the good of france
00:32:28.480 but more just about extracting the state for all it can possibly give them let's just make a slight
00:32:34.300 point about classroom sizes found it interesting there's lots and lots of uh left-leaning
00:32:40.020 teachers in my family loads of them most of them actually they used to when i was younger in the
00:32:47.320 80s and in the 90s i remember growing up and constantly complaining about class sizes
00:32:51.460 it was always classes oh it's going up to 22 on average straight up to 23 oh it's terrible 24 25
00:32:58.740 it's unworkable of course being lefties they just ignore the immigration problem just won't talk
00:33:05.880 about it and now last 10-15 years just never hear a peep out of them about class sizes
00:33:10.360 they just stop talking about it interesting stop complaining about it
00:33:14.300 well there's another point in there as well isn't it just if they talk about their cognitive
00:33:20.080 dissonance maybe they'll have to deal with it but no no just won't yeah just ignore that now
00:33:24.020 don't worry about that anymore yeah yeah yeah okay isn't that isn't that telling though of
00:33:29.940 the type of like self-censorship that a lot of lefties do, the things they would normally moan
00:33:36.280 about and care about because it's at odds with their ideology. They just ignore it and just
00:33:40.320 pretend it's not a thing now. So in public schools in Britain, which are private schools,
00:33:46.600 don't ask me why that distinction happens, versus state schools. So in private schools in Britain,
00:33:53.680 the taboo subject is the number of Chinese and Indian students. Because in a lot of these elite
00:33:59.620 schools, as the fees have gone up, as everything has sort of become more expensive, the people who 0.94
00:34:05.640 can afford to send their kids there are, for the most part, Chinese and Indian billionaires and
00:34:11.360 other assorted third world billionaires, which means that these schools now are minority white 0.71
00:34:18.500 for the most part, which is just crazy. And there's a larger discussion here, not just about
00:34:26.840 those recent immigrant populations that have actually come into the schools. But even before
00:34:31.980 that, because, for example, my education growing up in Scunthorpe was basically homogenous. And I'm
00:34:38.000 not going to pretend that it was like the height of Edwardian standards. You know, as soon as a
00:34:43.800 teacher comes into class, everyone just is immediately silent, diligent. No, I mean,
00:34:48.140 there were times where the class was just an absolute rabble. And this comes with the general 0.81
00:34:53.520 degradation of respect for teachers themselves, for the classroom, for what you learn,
00:35:00.160 for education, and obviously as well surrounding this is the larger societal
00:35:05.040 way that we view these things, where now education is not a responsibility to the future
00:35:11.300 in order to help maintain a civilization. It's actually just kind of this chore that you get
00:35:17.380 burdened with for the beginning of your life. And can we just get it over as quick as possible?
00:35:23.520 And behavior in the classrooms is just not what it would have been even 50 years ago.
00:35:27.760 No.
00:35:28.420 And this is across the board.
00:35:30.220 However.
00:35:30.800 And there is a general collapse in authority.
00:35:32.960 Right.
00:35:33.220 There is a general collapse in respect for authority and in respect for standards, not just in the younger generation, but all across.
00:35:41.240 Absolutely.
00:35:42.020 Yeah.
00:35:42.300 And so, for example, to second your point as well, Bo, when they talk about the fact it's like, well, you know, there's 39 students per class.
00:35:49.540 How can we possibly maintain any sort of order?
00:35:52.560 It's like, well, I'm sure they could double that in China.
00:35:55.640 And yet the students wouldn't all of a sudden just kick up a massive fuss in the middle of the class and start burning Shanghai.
00:36:04.200 However, here we are.
00:36:06.400 So, as we can see, French teens clash with police as high school protests intensify.
00:36:12.420 The protests began in the region around Paris, where educational authorities reported blockades at some 10 schools on Tuesday.
00:36:19.880 and it has now spread, as it's said, to other cities nationwide.
00:36:24.340 Now, for reference, this has now probably touched around 356 schools.
00:36:29.820 What?
00:36:30.380 Just yesterday.
00:36:31.840 What?
00:36:32.280 Yes.
00:36:32.880 Wait, so the kids, the teens, are setting up barricades
00:36:36.160 and fighting police in over 300 schools?
00:36:39.120 Is that what you're telling me?
00:36:39.740 With the cooperation and protection of the union's far-left teachers
00:36:44.640 and all those who are obviously protecting them.
00:36:47.760 Still, that's remarkable. 0.89
00:36:48.520 well the kids the teens are doing it so are they algerian teens oh we'll get a sub-saharan
00:36:55.820 african team we'll get to the footage we'll get to the okay all right yeah okay sorry ferris you
00:37:01.580 yeah and it's it seems uh i think it's spread to vienna and brussels as well now yeah you were
00:37:06.760 just telling that before it came on i think it's spread to it's it's become an international thing
00:37:11.660 now um hey 625 uh people were detained just yesterday alone and it was 440 the day before
00:37:22.500 that so already in two days over a thousand people have been detained and hundreds have
00:37:27.220 been injured and when i say injured i i mean anything from getting an empty bottle thrown
00:37:34.100 at your head, to having your wrist crippled by a fireworks explosion, to, and I've not shown it,
00:37:42.400 but people being set on fire, which is something that I also saw in footage, and we'll get to one
00:37:49.740 of those examples later on. So as you can see here, the French Prime Minister warns against
00:37:55.040 escalation of school protests after 164 were arrested, as the BBC reported about four days
00:38:02.560 ago now and it says that um well the movement in um high schools or french word i can't pronounce
00:38:10.380 attended by students age 15 to 18 for their final three years of secondary education in france has
00:38:16.340 angered the government since last week high school students had staged protests outside
00:38:20.860 their schools over grievances including timetables class sizes a shortage of teachers overheated
00:38:28.220 classrooms in the wake of recent heat waves. And according to the education minister, 400 schools
00:38:34.700 were affected by the protest on Tuesday out of some 3,700 across the country. So when you look
00:38:42.500 at that ratio as well, it is huge. It is a genuinely large proportion of them. And some 40
00:38:50.720 were blockaded and 44 faced attempted blockade and 10 people were wounded. This is at the time
00:38:58.600 when they were reporting all of this. Obviously, you have here the Secretary for Education talking
00:39:06.040 about the fact that, well, we're willing to listen to high school students examining their demands,
00:39:11.300 providing responses. That's the purpose of the dialogue we're initiating. I've asked principals
00:39:16.340 to convene starting this week, wherever necessary. The high school, sorry, the high school life
00:39:22.400 councils and rectus to convene within 48 hours. The academic high school life councils might have
00:39:28.380 been a translation error there. But nonetheless, you can see there's this kind of meager, meek
00:39:36.460 attempt to reestablish order from within the French government. But ultimately, they find
00:39:42.080 themselves in a bind, because on the one hand, they're in an impossible position. You have people
00:39:47.740 below the age of 18 just going about causing untold damage to all sorts of cities, whether
00:39:56.060 it be Paris or Nantes or any other kind, and across many of the city suburbs. So they don't
00:40:05.200 want to be seen to have police strong-arming who are children at the end of the day. However,
00:40:13.840 the lack of ability to actually wrestle with these people is meaning that all of these cities are
00:40:19.660 going up in flames. And this is exacerbated when you can see absolute traitors like Jean-Luc
00:40:26.720 Mélenchon saying, we, the unsubmissive, are proud to stand at the gates of high schools to defend
00:40:31.700 our children from police brutality parents activists mobilized to stand in the way so
00:40:38.360 actually what police brutality well that i have again i have seen the odd clip of a policeman
00:40:45.920 going a bit hard on them but at the same time what do you expect like how do you setting schools
00:40:51.440 on fire right uh they're beating up teachers left and right they are now burning down buildings and 0.58
00:40:59.320 generally rioting and this has become an insurrection by foreign youths against the
00:41:05.440 state yes so that's what i was gonna ask yeah is this really is this the foreign kids yes
00:41:13.520 the violence yes the violence all right violence yes and this is coming a couple of days after
00:41:21.220 the pope visited france and almost a million people turned up on the streets obviously there
00:41:27.920 there were no riots, there were no beatings, there were no attacks on the police, nothing was burnt
00:41:33.820 down. It went as peacefully as you would imagine. So this is quickly becoming a religious and racial
00:41:41.620 issue, as are all things in a diverse society. A sectarian nightmare. That racial, religious, 0.98
00:41:48.340 ethnic, tribal sectarian nightmare. Diversity is our strength, as the experiences of the 1.00
00:41:53.520 balkans and of lebanon prove but because of this because of the dimension of the problem it means
00:41:59.140 that the french state is never going to actually honestly address it well not under a macron
00:42:05.020 government yeah this is just a french student thing oh i get it so it's teens it's about schools
00:42:11.340 right it's not about any of that it's not about any of that got it okay teen takeover
00:42:15.700 teen takeover at a national scale in france right and spreading to other parts of europe
00:42:22.800 okay and this is hardly beginning to get it and this is hardly surprising as well when you consider
00:42:28.880 the proportion of those who will be now in the school from foreign backgrounds as well
00:42:34.780 you know also i was thinking i haven't seen hide nor hair of this in the british print media over
00:42:40.540 the last two three days obviously yeah and i was thinking for a moment i was thinking that's
00:42:46.600 interesting i wonder why not of course not they're gonna they're gonna any honest accounting of it
00:42:52.060 shows that this is an insurrection by migrant youth. There are some legitimate grievances 0.98
00:42:57.540 behind everything. But again, as with the previous case, not your having a grievance
00:43:04.460 doesn't justify you behaving like an animal. It goes on to say, in one school in the Paris
00:43:10.640 suburbs, teachers formed a line around protesting students in the bid to protect them from the
00:43:15.420 police. Some 300,000 people took part in the marches across the country, according to the
00:43:22.600 unions, including 30,000 people in Paris alone, according to police estimates. The anger is
00:43:30.300 immense. I warn the government it must be addressed and the demands and revise the draft
00:43:38.380 budget, which is dangerous for the country and is driving us straight into the wall of recession
00:43:43.700 at 200 kilometers an hour, the head of the hardline CGT union, Sophie Binet, told BFMTV.
00:43:53.980 So now we get to obviously the paradox of all of this, because the entire guise that all of this
00:44:00.040 begins under is we're not getting the funding that is required in order to have a comfortable
00:44:06.540 education. And also as well, resources are just too scarce. And so what we're going to do
00:44:12.920 is go out and cause untold amounts of criminal damage
00:44:17.520 to burden the French state and its resources.
00:44:21.000 So it's going to have to pay for the repairs
00:44:23.840 of the damage that we've committed.
00:44:25.960 You can see here outside the Nelson Mandela High School
00:44:29.900 in Nantes, because why wouldn't there be one
00:44:32.160 named after Nelson Mandela in France,
00:44:34.940 just being on fire?
00:44:37.360 Well, that's very on theme for Nelson Mandela.
00:44:39.200 Well, you know, I was thinking that.
00:44:40.840 Maybe if you were wearing a tire.
00:44:41.860 honouring his memory um see here um sorry um visgrad have been doing a lot
00:44:48.640 rather bolstering your point beau about the character of these people and perhaps the
00:45:01.060 backgrounds that they come from uh you can see here as well they also set fire to san madren
00:45:06.480 church during their attack
00:45:08.820 against the Jean Gallier
00:45:10.560 de Kalesburg
00:45:12.680 High School in Strasbourg
00:45:14.480 earlier on.
00:45:20.420 So the school isn't going great, let's burn it to the ground?
00:45:24.280 Or 0.96
00:45:24.800 let's burn a church to the ground?
00:45:27.040 Yeah, and they also saw
00:45:28.440 footage of statues of the
00:45:30.780 Virgin Mary being torn down as well
00:45:33.000 because... 0.99
00:45:34.560 Demons hate Our Lady.
00:45:36.480 But also as well, it's like the Pope comes to France and again, I don't see the youth of France really holding to France's Catholic heritage in many degrees. 1.00
00:45:53.060 Perhaps because they don't come from, sorry, Gombo. 1.00
00:45:56.180 Oh, right. 1.00
00:45:57.040 Sorry. 0.92
00:45:57.500 Obviously because they're not Catholic.
00:45:58.900 Yeah.
00:45:59.300 They're from North Africa or sub-Saharan Africa. 0.97
00:46:01.200 But I'm not Catholic, but I don't feel any desire whatsoever
00:46:06.860 to go and burn down churches or brutalise any sort of statues
00:46:12.680 to sit front door and façade of the Leonardo da Vinci high school
00:46:16.560 in Ribot having been set on fire.
00:46:22.940 Right. Okay.
00:46:25.220 And as you can see as well, nice cheeky...
00:46:28.620 This is not to do with education reform.
00:46:32.820 It's got nothing to do with that.
00:46:33.640 I don't care if they're in their teenage years.
00:46:35.760 It's nothing to do with that.
00:46:37.440 This is sectarianism along racial, religious, ethnic and tribal lines.
00:46:43.820 That's what this is.
00:46:44.420 They hate France.
00:46:45.340 It's an excuse.
00:46:46.140 They hate France. 0.74
00:46:47.200 They're trying to burn it down. 0.94
00:46:48.620 It's as simple as that.
00:46:49.420 Which is why.
00:46:49.900 I'm not interested in hearing any more about it's to do with school reform,
00:46:53.360 that their books are a bit mouldy or something.
00:46:55.260 Nonsense.
00:46:55.580 You don't just burn down your school because the books are a bit old and mouldy or something.
00:47:00.940 But that is why Mélenchon is defending them, because he too wants to destroy France. 0.82
00:47:07.100 This is the Islamo-Marxist alliance all over again. 0.99
00:47:11.580 And as usual, if the Muslims win, the Marxists will be lined up against the wall and shot. 1.00
00:47:18.020 Right. Well, also as well, these are his future voters. 0.99
00:47:21.380 So why are you not going to give them everything that they demand?
00:47:24.740 when they form a mob.
00:47:27.220 High school revolts steered by the far left
00:47:29.700 and Mélenchon's party gaining momentum in Bordeaux.
00:47:33.360 They claim to lack resources in their schools
00:47:35.520 but set fire to their own establishment and urban furniture.
00:47:38.520 And honestly, you just look at the skyline here.
00:47:45.100 Wow.
00:47:46.840 Huh.
00:47:49.360 Yeah, that's...
00:47:51.860 Oh, it's just mental.
00:47:54.540 The scenes coming out of France are absolutely mental.
00:47:58.200 Again, I won't keep going through them.
00:48:00.000 You more than get the idea.
00:48:01.620 But as well, you keep finding the footage of all these people.
00:48:04.500 And you can just tell these are the people who just have any bloody excuse to indulge in the worst fancies of arson and violence.
00:48:15.080 the principal of the victor hugo high school in marseille his deputy the general secretary and
00:48:22.300 the team leader were assaulted and drenched in gasoline um they were planning on setting them
00:48:28.240 on fire basically yes and they escaped with their lives by and by some luck yes and you could sort
00:48:34.060 of see the the image here that sort of tells you a little bit about their identities all in black
00:48:40.340 all hooded all with their hoodies up just they don't look ethnically northwest european no
00:48:46.800 no there'll be algerian and moroccan and and it's from way up in belgium all the way down to marseille
00:48:52.840 so the whole length and breadth of france the entire length of france well it seems that it's
00:48:57.380 happening in austria as well i i think i saw it it happening in vienna uh and vienna i think the
00:49:03.440 majority of school students are not Austrian now, in Vienna itself. So, yeah, it's a total disaster
00:49:11.020 for Europe. It's a European, it's a Europe-wide disaster.
00:49:16.840 And you see it here as well. It's like Saint-Denis, right? And Saint-Denis as well. I remember 0.99
00:49:22.600 all those years ago, reading Douglas Murray's Strange Death of Europe, and Douglas at the time
00:49:29.120 specifically picked out Saint-Denis
00:49:31.480 as one of the worst examples of replacement in France.
00:49:36.080 Yeah, it's a hellhole. 1.00
00:49:37.460 It's like 90% foreign. 1.00
00:49:39.540 Yeah, I've been there.
00:49:40.960 Because isn't that where the old kings are buried as well?
00:49:44.020 There is the Saint-Denis Abbey, yeah.
00:49:48.260 Yeah.
00:49:49.300 And now it's been lost.
00:49:53.340 Lost to the replacement.
00:49:54.800 And you said, after blocking their university,
00:49:56.640 the students of Paris-Aid converging en masse towards Bartholdi High School
00:50:02.500 to support the pupils in the face of repression,
00:50:05.080 Say's permanent revolution themselves,
00:50:09.760 who are obviously, you can tell the glee with which they report on all of this,
00:50:14.880 because who doesn't want constant permanent revolution 0.99
00:50:19.320 at the hands of the third world? 0.99
00:50:22.680 Yep.
00:50:22.860 But what sane Frenchmen could reject such a prospect for their future?
00:50:28.300 It's funny, I've been talking, not funny, ha-ha, of course, funny, interesting, funny of note. 0.63
00:50:32.820 I've been talking about a sectarian nightmare along racial, religious, ethnic and tribal lines for quite a few years now,
00:50:38.960 almost like a mantra, especially on state of politics. 0.65
00:50:41.720 State of politics.
00:50:42.780 And I thought it would be a while off yet.
00:50:45.880 I thought it might actually happen in the 2060s or something.
00:50:51.500 I know.
00:50:51.880 that skyline was remarkable to me you could see across the skyline multiple things going off all
00:50:57.540 at once okay well that they but it's the establishment who have created of course
00:51:04.600 it is yeah permissiveness what's macron gonna say about this pretend it's not happening pretend
00:51:10.920 it's just kids who are concerned that their classrooms are a bit hot yeah yeah in a heat
00:51:16.060 wave but also as well you get you know whether it's the interior minister or the education
00:51:21.020 Secretary or the Prime Minister or Macron as president and saying, oh, well, you know,
00:51:26.020 we understand that you have some grievances, but we don't want this violence. It's like, you fool. 0.99
00:51:31.580 The reason they do this in the first place is because they have no respect for you whatsoever. 0.99
00:51:37.200 And also as well, they know they're going to broadly get away from it. Because if they do
00:51:41.780 it in enough numbers, you simply can't stop them all. And you have here...
00:51:45.880 But unless you start shooting people. 0.95
00:51:47.080 Well, yeah. 0.97
00:51:48.000 When you start shooting people, 1.00
00:51:50.140 the Turks will start supplying drones 0.97
00:51:52.080 to the rioters in Massey. 0.82
00:51:54.060 Right.
00:51:54.360 And I'm not even joking about this.
00:51:55.660 Europe is going to head towards
00:51:56.880 a nightmarish civil war scenario.
00:52:00.140 If this continues,
00:52:01.360 you might as well get it over with sooner rather than later.
00:52:04.040 You see here, outrage in France.
00:52:06.020 There's Bali... 1.00
00:52:07.940 Bagayoko.
00:52:09.100 Thank you.
00:52:10.100 Thank you.
00:52:10.540 I was in danger there.
00:52:11.860 Anyway, the far left mayor
00:52:13.840 of the country's most infamous no-go zone
00:52:16.080 in Saint-Denis, joined student rioters who were attacking a high school in the area.
00:52:20.540 He could be seen laughing with them, giving high fives and jumping up and down.
00:52:24.880 Mayor of obviously over 150,000 people, which is over 90% immigrants.
00:52:29.840 And you just see him here.
00:52:32.160 Party! Party! Party! Party! Party!
00:52:36.660 What? That's the mayor of Saint-Denis?
00:52:39.200 Yes.
00:52:41.480 That is a conquered nation.
00:52:43.300 Yes.
00:52:44.140 This is a man they elect to be their representative.
00:52:47.660 And he joins the rioters and helps set things on fire, of course.
00:52:51.180 Yeah.
00:52:52.820 He's carried and cheered by high school students
00:52:56.200 who are demanding more resources from the government.
00:52:59.520 I don't think it's about the resources to these guys.
00:53:03.640 I just call me sceptical.
00:53:05.980 I don't think it is.
00:53:07.560 So let's be brutally honest here.
00:53:09.340 Oh, please do. 1.00
00:53:10.800 This is the black and brown kids going berserk. 1.00
00:53:14.060 Yes. 1.00
00:53:14.920 And trying to burn France down, destroy France. 0.75
00:53:17.200 Yes.
00:53:17.560 That's what's happening here.
00:53:18.920 Correct.
00:53:20.120 That's the flat out.
00:53:22.580 That's okay.
00:53:23.860 That's important. 1.00
00:53:24.960 The third world become the third world. 1.00
00:53:27.080 However, this woman of clearly African, Middle Eastern origin is here to say, well, you have to. 1.00
00:53:33.880 Going to go with Moroccan. 1.00
00:53:34.920 Yeah, right. 0.99
00:53:35.400 You have to give us infinite money and protect our classrooms because we are literally the future doctors and engineers.
00:53:44.120 The line that she did the meme, as all of this is going on, it's like, I don't think anyone involved in this are the future doctors and engineers, actually.
00:53:55.260 You don't seem to have much care for, certainly not for architecture or engineering or stability of Paris's buildings.
00:54:03.640 And very little by way of caring for human life as well, as far as I've seen with teachers being kicked and harassed and chased away.
00:54:14.660 And as I say, people set on fire as well.
00:54:17.480 So I'm not really willing to indulge this.
00:54:20.700 Now, she individually might have aspirations towards one of these things, maybe, but I'm not willing to extend that to everyone out there on the streets.
00:54:31.860 um yeah what's macron said yeah well now we have macron um who says no to violence of any kind
00:54:39.960 and nothing legitimizes it i hear and understand the anxieties sometimes the anger that our young
00:54:46.540 our young people may have whether it be about climate technological developments and geopolitical
00:54:54.780 situations so not about funding of secondary schools and just other stuff which tribe is
00:55:03.460 tribal sectarianism because nothing to do with the the climate what they're complaining about
00:55:09.780 at the heart of it is you are trying to make us french it doesn't work we won't but but within 0.65
00:55:19.160 this as well that's we will burn the place down before we accept anything along those lines 0.94
00:55:23.620 But this is within, you can tell, the second and third generations who have come here.
00:55:30.960 Yes.
00:55:31.260 Because obviously one time a day, I'm not saying in many cases, but in some, it would have been the case that you as a foreigner, purposely choosing to move to France or Britain or Germany, wherever it might be, you may well have moved there because you do actually believe in the stability, prosperity and high culture that those countries produce.
00:55:53.620 But once you start just having your own ghettos and just living within your own particular sectarian culture and you're bringing up new kids as well who have not been brought into it, they are just feeling the resentment of, well, hang on, I'm not like the host population and I've been born here against my will and I feel far more loyalty to wherever my parents left.
00:56:20.160 And so they've got this huge chip of resentment on their shoulders. 0.63
00:56:23.620 Especially when they've been steeped in the narrative, marinated in the narrative that they're a bit of leftism and globalism, that they're the victims.
00:56:31.800 France and native French are the evildoers, colonialists, etc, etc, etc. 0.89
00:56:37.480 And they're within their right, like punch a Nazi, you're morally allowed to punch a Nazi. 0.99
00:56:41.140 You're morally allowed to just beat up someone who says the N-word. 0.97
00:56:44.720 It's okay to burn down your school because it's French, because it's a French school. 1.00
00:56:49.500 Burn it down. 1.00
00:56:50.640 Remember what happens at every World Cup.
00:56:53.620 Yeah. Remember who they saw. I mean, the cricket test. What was that? The cricket test or whatever it was. Right. Well, yeah. Where did who do they side with?
00:57:03.100 And because they're being led by a far leftist like Mélenchon, who has absolutely no theory of mind whatsoever for what the right actually believes and thinks that if Marine Le Pen becomes president, which she's likely to do, then we're basically going to be going back to Mussolini-style tactics on the streets, right?
00:57:27.300 This is what they believe.
00:57:29.340 But it will have to happen. 1.00
00:57:30.740 Like, well, all remigration. The state will have imposing remigration requires a good 10 years of authoritarianism. That has to be admitted. It requires a good 10 years of very robust authoritarianism.
00:57:47.480 And so, you know, they are willing into being their own nightmares by pursuing these policies, by saying we want open door immigration, we want multiculturalism, we want this, we want that.
00:58:02.100 Like the end result of what they've pushed is going to have to be authoritarian or collapse.
00:58:08.360 And they are so evil that they would prefer to have civilizational collapse rather than a remedy.
00:58:15.500 But the thing is as well, they already advocate for authoritarian themselves. They just do it against a host population. It becomes we continue to live in a more authoritarian version of our countries. And yet the foreigners who came in because of the two-tier societies that are being created by this sick multicultural experiment are continually allowed to express themselves in a far more anarchistic sort of way.
00:58:41.880 And so it's not that we're not already on the path to authoritarianism. 1.00
00:58:46.840 It's just that it's an authoritarianism that is designed to enable their worst behavior.
00:58:53.380 And exactly as you were saying in your segment as well, Firas, about these people just coming in to defend the indefensible as well, it just continues to go on as things get worse.
00:59:06.440 So you have Le Pen here saying we've always denounced it.
00:59:09.600 The France of the forgotten is the cruis, the cantile and the ad,
00:59:13.420 not the suburbs where billions from the urban policy have been poured,
00:59:17.660 pouring for years.
00:59:19.020 And so there is obviously an understanding from her that, yeah,
00:59:22.880 these people shouldn't be here and are obviously here against our will
00:59:26.600 and are a detriment to the good of France.
00:59:29.660 How far she will go in actually addressing this, I don't know. 1.00
00:59:32.960 I was going to say, I just hope with everything I've got, she doesn't do a Maloney. 0.70
00:59:38.800 She doesn't do a Boris Johnson. 1.00
00:59:40.540 Get into power and just betray all of those ideas and principles. 1.00
00:59:45.400 Even what Trump did with re-migration.
00:59:49.640 It's going to need to go a lot further than Trump.
00:59:51.420 It's going to need to be a lot, lot more than Boris or Maloney and even more than Trump.
00:59:57.040 I hope she does.
00:59:58.380 I hope for France.
01:00:00.040 Well, if it doesn't, France doesn't survive this century. It's that simple, in any meaningful sense. Bardella as well has been saying a lot, but for the sake of time, I'll just go to here where he says, here's where the so-called revolution promised by Mélenchon leads.
01:00:17.920 This morning, we were once again witnessing fires in educational institutions across France, along with violence against educational staff and law enforcement.
01:00:26.980 I propose that the bill for the damages, which will amount to millions of euros, be split between the families of the arsonists and the party that incited them to chaos, which is Mélenchon's party. 0.82
01:00:39.940 The France and the Miss. 0.54
01:00:40.600 Yes. This seditious party, which leads certain young people down the terrible dead end, must be called to account for its responsibilities. It won't be, of course, because of the repressive tolerance that the French state lives under. But like I say, I don't know when this is going to peter out. This might go on for weeks, for all we know. 0.92
01:01:03.440 Think about it this way. If they burn down enough schools, there won't be anywhere for the students to go. If there is nowhere for the students to go, this will be a self-perpetuating fire. As they burn more schools, they basically can't be corralled into what is essentially daycare. And if they can't be in daycare, they will be rioting everywhere.
01:01:26.440 So this is the actual danger here, that this can spread in a way that nobody has accounted for, which sort of puts the idiocy of war with Russia aside, which puts the idiocy of open door migration aside. 0.98
01:01:39.880 Like, you've been invaded, and the invaders' youths are now taking over huge swathes of territory. 0.97
01:01:47.960 They will start by burning down the schools, but if in a district, like we saw, I think, from Bordeaux, you have 15, 20, 30 schools burnt,
01:01:57.420 well, that's several thousand students who have nowhere to go, who have no jobs, who will be subsiding on looting.
01:02:06.560 And therefore, the fire becomes self-perpetuating.
01:02:09.300 Yes. This is the beginning of something genuinely dangerous and genuinely atrocious.
01:02:14.620 And when you hear Macron saying, oh, nothing justifies violence, even geopolitics,
01:02:19.720 go die in a ditch quietly and let someone who can rule actually rule. 0.71
01:02:24.340 They don't care. Yeah. I don't think after all of this, some people who were considering 1.00
01:02:30.280 possibly, you know, dipping their toe in the ring of teaching are going to be doing it when they
01:02:35.680 see that the classrooms are going to be, um, you know, attended by these fine youths.
01:02:40.900 Yeah. So there we are. Um, all right. I'll just go through, uh, rumble ramps quickly.
01:02:49.480 Um, uh, we've got, um, uh, Peluso of Malice says, um, when I look at what the French do, 0.88
01:02:56.700 when, um, they have self-determination, the only conclusion I can come to is a division 0.62
01:03:01.780 that I don't know if I can read, but funny.
01:03:05.900 You also can't read that one.
01:03:08.060 Yeah, okay, right.
01:03:09.880 Logan Pine says, oh God.
01:03:12.540 Can I read anything?
01:03:13.440 Out of these intellectual crimes,
01:03:16.360 because of all of the ideologies that have destroyed Europe, 0.95
01:03:20.200 find their origin in this sick city called Paris.
01:03:24.820 You speak French?
01:03:26.100 Yeah.
01:03:26.580 Read French even.
01:03:28.920 Fair point. 0.90
01:03:29.860 That one I can't read, thanks.
01:03:31.300 That's a random name.
01:03:32.240 We've got a number of T's.
01:03:33.500 Your father is a wise man.
01:03:35.400 We've got a number of T's and C's,
01:03:36.920 terms and conditions on YouTube.
01:03:38.220 Yeah.
01:03:38.580 There's just certain things we can't say
01:03:39.860 unless we want the channel...
01:03:41.860 Demonetised.
01:03:43.080 Demonetised and yeeted.
01:03:44.540 You all know this.
01:03:45.100 And you guys know this.
01:03:47.080 You all know this.
01:03:48.100 We mentioned it enough.
01:03:49.260 Thank you for the £1 super chats you're doing
01:03:51.440 that we can't read out.
01:03:53.520 I mean, keep going if you like.
01:03:57.300 Yeah.
01:03:58.080 But engage for you as well.
01:03:59.820 Thank you for the $5.
01:04:01.280 I'm talking about whether or not this will be dealt with quietly.
01:04:04.480 Anyway, for the sake of time then, Beau, let's have your segment, sir.
01:04:08.360 If we can move over, Samson.
01:04:10.480 Okay, gentlemen, let's talk about the Chinese Communist Party 0.85
01:04:14.500 and their seemingly never-ending attempts at espionage against Great Britain. 0.99
01:04:20.520 Well, we make it so easy for them.
01:04:22.120 Am I being paranoid?
01:04:23.220 Am I making it up?
01:04:24.060 Is that a far-right fantasy or is it a matter of fact, a matter of record?
01:04:28.660 It's a matter of record. 0.56
01:04:29.620 Okay, it really does seem to be the case that the Chinese government, the Chinese Communist Party, the authoritarian one-party communists have got a real bee in their bonnet against not just Britain, the Five Ayers, right? 0.56
01:04:45.420 There's sort of one big intelligence service in a way, the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand. 0.80
01:04:54.940 For years and years, decades, they've been the Five Ayers. 0.95
01:04:57.900 They exchange, well, to what extent exactly they give each other 0.99
01:05:02.020 all the different information and the chatter
01:05:03.840 and the intelligence sharing things, but nonetheless.
01:05:07.080 Now, we are, they are, in a Cold War
01:05:10.840 with the Chinese intelligence services.
01:05:13.000 Is that a fair thing to say?
01:05:14.360 Do you think?
01:05:15.760 Again, I'm not sort of exaggerating that, you don't think?
01:05:18.140 I'm not sort of blown out of all proportion.
01:05:20.720 I'm not being paranoid.
01:05:22.460 No, and it is the fault of Western governments 0.95
01:05:25.460 that the Chinese have been that successful.
01:05:26.960 and that's a different conversation yes okay but so i mean well so before i get into the details i
01:05:33.020 mean just there's one headline here this is just one really this is just one more data point to
01:05:37.000 throw on top of a much bigger story but it's in the new cycle yesterday and today china funding
01:05:42.820 uk research and sending it to beijing spies mi5 warns just a quick overview is that there's all
01:05:49.240 sorts of universities in britain that are working for chinese front companies that are really it's
01:05:54.600 really the Chinese intelligence services. So they're getting our universities to work on things
01:05:59.320 like AI and stenography and all sorts of things that they then use against us. The cheek of that.
01:06:05.920 Okay, anyway, carry on. Sorry, that's a natural consequence of two things.
01:06:09.780 Free movement of people and free movement of capital. If Chinese capital can set itself up 0.94
01:06:14.980 in Britain and say, well, actually, I'm a British company now, when the owners are Chinese and the
01:06:20.600 financing is Chinese. Well, there's nothing legally stopping a British company from sponsoring
01:06:25.780 research in a British university. It goes back to that company. Of course, that company, because
01:06:30.940 it's mandated by law to cooperate with Chinese intelligence services, it will naturally send
01:06:36.580 the research on to China. When's the last time we ever heard about a British university
01:06:42.360 rejecting money from foreigners, whether it be students or Chinese, whatever it may be?
01:06:49.780 In this instance, it's an organisation called the China General Technology Research Institute, which just gives funding to all different universities, including Cambridge, for their researchers to do things into espionage and intelligence services type things like AI and cyber warfare and all sorts of stuff. 0.66
01:07:10.300 It's cutting edge research, the best research will come out of places like Britain, Canada, the United States and Australia for China to then use against us.
01:07:18.660 Iranian drones are developed with technology that was researched by Iranians in British
01:07:26.740 universities. And I just wanted to correct something you said. The Chinese Communist
01:07:31.740 Party is not communist. It's nationalist. This is the bit that people keep on ignoring.
01:07:37.240 Everybody is a nationalist. Everybody deep down is a nationalist. This is the most important thing.
01:07:45.340 they're acting not out of global communism they're acting out of national self-interest
01:07:50.300 okay okay fair enough i mean it is more complicated than that though isn't it because
01:07:55.680 the economic models are well are what serves the chinese nation well yeah not really
01:08:01.800 they're not maoist anymore are they they're not marxist leninist really anymore are they
01:08:07.480 much much as xi jinping insists still anyways one party system based loosely around a maoist
01:08:14.340 version that's based loosely around marxist leninism all right anyway they're one party
01:08:19.480 autocracy say that can't we with winning the poos sitting at the top pretending he's a benevolent
01:08:24.600 sort of yes good man we can all work together can't we your prosperity is our prosperity isn't
01:08:29.440 it wars and cold wars are bad for business aren't they well stop doing endless amounts of espionage 0.98
01:08:35.160 against us then you cheeky bastard all right so this is just one one more example and this is 0.93
01:08:41.640 coming from mi5 this is not just the bbc making up or me making up this is coming from mi5 mi5 0.97
01:08:46.780 is saying that um if the universities don't stop doing it they'll be liable for prosecution
01:08:52.340 particularly particularly cambridge and not just there's a hundred of them but i support that i
01:08:57.900 mean has has cambridge got any sort of history or previous with being sympathetic towards leftism 0.92
01:09:05.580 communism or our enemies in any way is there any to be is there any fair the chinese won't be
01:09:11.840 sending a jason arday like the chinese professors that will be sent to do research in cambridge
01:09:17.560 won't be people like jason arday or rather they get the chinese are just like how we're supposed
01:09:24.960 to learn anything from this exactly or rather like the cambridge five in the soviet era for
01:09:31.580 the Soviets they get people that are genuinely British well-educated well-educated British
01:09:38.680 public school boys that have gone to Cambridge and then that have got leftist sympathies and 0.83
01:09:45.020 then they subvert them it's not that you send a Chinese person to Cambridge you can do that as
01:09:48.660 well no you get one of us one of our traitors to work for you that's it's more that really
01:09:54.900 yep and MI5 saying stop it look we see what you're doing stop it though because you're
01:10:00.960 actually undermining our national security now at this point.
01:10:05.760 I mean, the article goes on.
01:10:07.100 There's lots and lots of...
01:10:08.020 It's not just the BBC, the mail. 1.00
01:10:11.500 MI5 warns Cambridge and other universities to stop working with China
01:10:16.120 on key technologies or face prosecution for helping expires.
01:10:21.320 Sorry, there's a camera in the way.
01:10:22.220 I'll go to this one, actually.
01:10:23.540 All right.
01:10:24.200 The Times reporting the same thing.
01:10:26.820 British University Research funded by Chinese spies, 0.99
01:10:29.740 all of them 1.00
01:10:31.740 ITV News
01:10:32.840 okay
01:10:34.200 and
01:10:35.700 this recently
01:10:37.220 actual spies
01:10:39.320 for the first time
01:10:40.220 I think the Guardian says
01:10:41.880 there's two men
01:10:43.520 first in British history
01:10:45.020 to be found guilty
01:10:45.860 of spying for China
01:10:46.660 these are Chinese people 1.00
01:10:47.780 come over to Britain 1.00
01:10:48.500 spy on
01:10:49.620 Hong Kong dissidents
01:10:51.520 that live in Britain 0.99
01:10:52.560 okay
01:10:55.760 why would you not
01:10:56.660 just simply take it
01:10:57.820 as a given
01:10:58.460 that especially as well, right?
01:11:00.800 Because I remember distinctly
01:11:02.020 my time at university.
01:11:03.800 There were a lot of Chinese students there 1.00
01:11:06.300 and they all kept to themselves. 1.00
01:11:08.460 Yep. 0.80
01:11:09.600 They refused to integrate
01:11:11.340 with anyone else on campus whatsoever.
01:11:13.920 Oh, it's like their allegiances
01:11:14.960 were racial, religious, tribal.
01:11:18.240 Yes.
01:11:18.620 Yeah, yeah.
01:11:18.940 Oh.
01:11:19.600 Very strange.
01:11:20.240 Huh.
01:11:20.920 You remember that?
01:11:21.540 That's a turn up for the books.
01:11:22.520 Who would have flunk it?
01:11:24.120 What was that event?
01:11:25.000 I can't even remember now
01:11:26.360 the exact nature of it,
01:11:27.720 but there was something in St Pancras train station recently
01:11:30.980 where some British person was, someone in chat,
01:11:35.940 if you remember this exactly, let me know.
01:11:38.640 But some British person was doing some sort of performance
01:11:41.760 or speaking about something, and some random Chinese foreigner
01:11:45.840 just came in and said, you're not allowed to do that.
01:11:49.220 That offends China or our party or whatever it might have been.
01:11:54.320 I think I have a vague recollection.
01:11:55.680 I cannot remember.
01:11:56.960 It feels maybe towards the end of last year.
01:11:59.580 Sorry, I'm derailing you.
01:12:00.980 But this behavior is commonplace.
01:12:05.720 Yeah.
01:12:06.400 Yeah.
01:12:07.660 They have a police network wherever there is a Chinese diaspora 0.99
01:12:12.540 because the Chinese state views itself as responsible
01:12:15.820 for all Chinese people everywhere. 0.51
01:12:18.300 And so that includes policing them in the West. 0.97
01:12:23.400 The examples just go on and on.
01:12:24.800 You might remember this from a few weeks ago, a few weeks back.
01:12:27.300 These two, their trial actually collapsed.
01:12:29.360 But they were obviously doing espionage activities on behalf of China
01:12:32.740 in our, deep in our establishment.
01:12:37.260 Again, these are not Chinese men, are they? 1.00
01:12:39.480 They're owls. 1.00
01:12:40.640 They're owls. 0.99
01:12:41.140 They're traitors that were born and raised here. 0.99
01:12:45.520 Yeah, the same thing. 0.95
01:12:46.700 That trial collapsed.
01:12:49.860 It just goes on and on and on and on.
01:12:52.480 The amount of espionage that China was doing.
01:12:54.400 Now, still, you remember this guy?
01:12:56.320 Remember this guy who's the husband of a Labour MP?
01:12:59.620 And he was a Chinese spy, basically.
01:13:02.540 Just goes on and on, on and on, same dude.
01:13:07.420 Even where?
01:13:08.600 It's not Jack Hadfield, it's someone else.
01:13:12.100 Yeah, it just goes, there's no end to this stuff, right?
01:13:16.160 And people still use the argument.
01:13:17.920 They say, but China's never hurt me.
01:13:20.260 What's China ever done to me and my family?
01:13:23.260 To those people, I say you need to wake up. 0.98
01:13:26.320 You need to stop being ridiculously naive. 0.94
01:13:29.060 There is a power struggle. 0.96
01:13:30.520 Farash, you backed me up on this, I would have thought.
01:13:32.200 We haven't talked about it beforehand,
01:13:33.220 but I would imagine you'd agree with this.
01:13:34.880 Yes.
01:13:36.140 There is, on the grandest scale,
01:13:38.540 a power struggle between the United States 0.80
01:13:41.100 and the wider Anglosphere, the West, and China. 0.65
01:13:45.660 The Cold Walls, the Soviets, and the United States. 0.82
01:13:49.160 Russia are still on that chessboard.
01:13:51.560 they don't the kremlin and putin certainly does not answer to washington or brussels or beijing
01:13:59.660 or london or anything it's his own agent it's his own flag but the power struggle of the 21st century
01:14:05.520 is between the united states and china and us as the special relationship the anglosphere whatever
01:14:13.620 you want to call it even though from time to time the special relationship seems non-existent
01:14:17.660 nonetheless China view us as America's number one lapdog yes and so we anything that undermines or
01:14:25.380 hurts us undermine and hurts the United States by proxy but and so they are doing and they are doing
01:14:32.600 an incredible amount of espionage against us from a hundred different vectors all at once
01:14:37.840 our industry our business our politics our intelligence services our military there's a
01:14:44.880 story the other day wasn't there that they were they some of our own military drones we were using
01:14:49.180 to to uh basically uh watch and evaluate our own military exercises the chinese had got that and
01:14:55.860 they were beaming it back to their own what because they now there is big emphasis on
01:15:01.840 military technology being developed without any chinese components but there are two problems 0.60
01:15:07.960 with this which is one of them is that the chinese have gotten so far ahead in manufacturing that
01:15:13.500 it's very difficult to source things without them.
01:15:15.880 And the second one is that a lot of the components
01:15:18.740 that come from Asia are already compromised by China. 0.81
01:15:22.260 And so what we are getting to is an age 0.88
01:15:24.340 where there is no alternative to nationalism 0.92
01:15:26.820 because the Russians will act in their own national interest, 0.99
01:15:29.260 the Chinese, the Muslims will act 0.65
01:15:31.400 in the interest of other Muslims,
01:15:32.880 the Indians will act in their interest, et cetera, et cetera. 0.99
01:15:35.960 The longer you have this retarded liberalism, 0.99
01:15:39.320 the more you cripple yourselves for the future struggle. 0.98
01:15:43.500 And also, as well, this is obviously not merely a matter of every nation within its means, like, you know, if it has the potential to.
01:15:51.600 Like, no one thinks that Panama is aspiring to be a world power because it would just never happen.
01:15:56.020 But if a nation has that potential within its size, within its population, its infrastructure, it is always obviously going to aspire to ascendancy.
01:16:04.900 Yes.
01:16:05.080 But this is not just a case of that.
01:16:07.160 This is deeply personal to the Chinese as well.
01:16:10.980 this is about revenge yes for the century of humiliation and you see that in British were 0.83
01:16:17.060 champions right yeah and the opium walls and you see them now smuggling through fentanyl yes into 0.57
01:16:24.520 America and throughout the west as well getting our populations hooked on these debilitating
01:16:30.100 life-destroying drugs it was the century of humiliation where I mean Lord Elgin the son of
01:16:37.700 the Lord Elgin of the Elgin Marbles fame,
01:16:40.360 burnt down big chunks of Beijing in the 19th century.
01:16:43.260 Yeah.
01:16:43.480 Yeah, they do see it as a type of intergenerational revenge.
01:16:47.640 And all the time saying, no, we're your greatest partner.
01:16:50.280 We invest loads in you.
01:16:51.580 We just want to trade.
01:16:52.460 Yeah, it's just about business, bro.
01:16:54.460 We're not trying to undermine your very way of sight,
01:16:56.380 your politics, your military.
01:16:58.360 Yes, they are.
01:16:59.060 Yes, they are.
01:16:59.480 And just remember that every bit and component involved in green energy
01:17:05.000 is coming from China.
01:17:06.660 And so when Labour says, oh, we want a green grid and we want to go with green energy and all of that, they are directly putting British money in Chinese pockets.
01:17:16.160 That's exactly what they're doing.
01:17:17.380 When they talk about the Chagos deal and handing over the Chagos Islands to whatever it is, Mauritius, they are basically handing over a key strategic military base to the Chinese.
01:17:31.820 So Labour in all of this are acting essentially as agents of China.
01:17:35.960 The Democrats in the United States, same thing.
01:17:39.280 Mitch McConnell in the United States,
01:17:41.120 obviously his wife is deeply connected to Chinese officialdom. 0.97
01:17:45.600 The Chinese are acting purely out of national self-interest, 0.98
01:17:49.140 whereas the West is still in this liberal retardation phase. 0.99
01:17:53.440 Yeah, and the Chagos thing plays into the whole angle, 0.99
01:17:55.800 the whole broader argument about how our political establishment
01:18:00.920 has been co-opted.
01:18:05.300 Completely.
01:18:05.960 by the Chinese, the super embassy story for some bizarre reason,
01:18:10.040 giving them an insanely large super embassy,
01:18:12.960 which sits directly above all sorts of very, very sensitive fiber optic lines
01:18:18.760 and communication lines coming from the city.
01:18:20.660 Why would you do that?
01:18:22.660 Why would our government allow such a thing if it hadn't,
01:18:26.120 if it wasn't co-opted?
01:18:29.200 Yeah.
01:18:30.100 And so just the broadest thing here,
01:18:32.320 I think anyone who has got any inkling that the West,
01:18:41.660 first and foremost, the United States,
01:18:43.260 but the United States, all of the United States' allies,
01:18:45.700 are not in a Cold War with China, are deluding themselves.
01:18:49.120 Yes.
01:18:49.620 We absolutely are, 100%.
01:18:52.980 And like the Cold War with the Soviets,
01:18:57.480 it's global in reach.
01:19:00.420 It's everywhere.
01:19:00.920 There's nowhere on the earth where it won't effect.
01:19:04.480 Two giant camps vying for influence, spheres of influence.
01:19:09.580 Right.
01:19:10.220 And anything that you can take, you take.
01:19:12.880 And anything that the other side's got that you can undermine or take, you try to.
01:19:16.620 Yes.
01:19:16.980 And, well, we are on the American side of that ledger, firmly.
01:19:21.400 Yeah. 0.95
01:19:22.360 And so if China can undermine or ruin us, they will. 0.97
01:19:25.660 And also as well, if I may just say, because we have spent decades gutting out our own identity and our own sense of self as well, this means that when things such as global pandemics come along, we immediately adopt Chinese solutions to them. 0.95
01:19:43.460 And all of a sudden, the entire world finds itself in lockdown. 0.62
01:19:47.540 Yeah. 1.00
01:19:48.040 Because that's what the Chinese did. 1.00
01:19:49.700 And that's where it began. 1.00
01:19:50.820 So we'll just do that, too.
01:19:52.140 And, of course, as well, all of the people, whether it be like, who was it at the time, Jeremy Hunt, who was just like, oh, I admire the Chinese social credit system or I admire the way that the Chinese do this.
01:20:03.400 George Osborne with all of his links to Chinese business.
01:20:06.340 On and on it goes. 0.97
01:20:07.220 How compromised our elites are.
01:20:09.880 Compromised, yeah.
01:20:10.580 You remember when Joe Biden, I think it was in his first week for a few months of being president.
01:20:14.880 Someone asked him a question in a press conference and he said he did that strange whispering thing.
01:20:20.320 and so it gives it loads of gravitas but it's just weird just makes him look weird right it's
01:20:24.980 like they're not the enemy guys they're not our enemy guys the enemy are the people it's like 0.99
01:20:31.400 you crazy old geriatric son of a bitch yes they are of course they are of course they are in 0.99
01:20:37.460 bows britain i would sever diplomatic ties with china no take your investment somewhere else we'll 1.00
01:20:41.720 find investment somewhere else we'll do without it and we don't need your investment if it means
01:20:45.720 are going to endlessly try and undermine us.
01:20:49.040 No, no, you can take your embassy back.
01:20:51.180 We can't have an embassy in Beijing.
01:20:52.900 Fine, fine.
01:20:53.900 We won't then.
01:20:54.780 We won't then.
01:20:55.640 You cannot be trusted.
01:20:57.160 You're not to be trusted. 0.90
01:20:58.400 You're an enemy to be feared, actually. 1.00
01:21:02.220 We don't have to be strategic partners with the Chinese. 1.00
01:21:05.320 I don't understand the whole... 1.00
01:21:06.780 Don't have to be. 0.96
01:21:07.600 I don't understand why Chinese investments 1.00
01:21:09.140 would be tolerated
01:21:09.940 or why British companies
01:21:11.160 would be allowed to invest in China.
01:21:12.600 Yeah, yeah.
01:21:13.840 Both of these things are incomprehensible.
01:21:14.920 I'd have a reset with the CCP, 100%.
01:21:18.120 100%.
01:21:19.320 Go Cold War on it.
01:21:20.940 No, no, you're clearly an enemy trying to attack us.
01:21:24.820 It might not be with kinetic weapons yet,
01:21:27.120 but obviously you're an enemy.
01:21:29.540 Obviously so.
01:21:30.560 And we're supposed to pretend we don't see it.
01:21:32.760 We're supposed to pretend you're not and go,
01:21:34.300 okay, yeah, yeah, have a big embassy.
01:21:36.160 No.
01:21:36.940 And this broke just before we started coming,
01:21:39.260 came on air, just literally like a minute or two
01:21:42.400 before we went live for this live stream, this broke in Reuters. Chinese refiners suspend October
01:21:49.580 fuel exports. One cancels cargoes, so to say. Basically, thanks to the Americans and the
01:21:58.720 energy crisis in the Middle East, it's now every man for himself. And so the Chinese are making 1.00
01:22:03.480 sure that they bring down their own domestic energy prices, given that they get access to
01:22:08.320 Russian oil as much as they want and that they have incredible refining capacity, meaning that
01:22:14.240 they're starving out the West and East Asia of things like diesel and gasoline and jet fuel and
01:22:23.160 shipping fuel and all of that stuff. So they come out on top. Everybody loses in this game. They 0.98
01:22:28.920 come out on top. And the Americans are thinking about imposing a ban on diesel exports, which
01:22:34.240 would leave europe basically with no sources of diesel because europe has decided to go green
01:22:39.720 so going back to the french riots that means that everybody riots because there are very real fuel 0.93
01:22:47.360 shortages and these trigger insane waves of inflation so the chinese act purely out of 0.77
01:22:54.600 national interest it's only the west that acts consistently against its own national interest 0.94
01:23:02.040 as you can see from the iran war as you can see from green energy as you can see from immigration
01:23:06.700 as you can see from the anti-family policies etc etc etc etc okay okay there you go china 0.88
01:23:15.860 not to be trusted all right all right a couple of super chats then 0.81
01:23:21.020 people still think i'm mad for saying things like that like i've got a weird irrational chip on my
01:23:27.940 shoulder no no no i don't think so so much evidence staring people in the face mate okay 0.94
01:23:35.300 the hapsification says uh the easiest the chinese flip our gut the easiest the chinese flip our 0.65
01:23:42.400 guys is very simple either by bribery or honey pots and the honey pots are usually the easiest 0.99
01:23:47.940 method white guys with a heavy asian fetish we're looking at you yeah story as old as time actually
01:23:55.920 isn't it uh that's a random name says this week a bunch of chinese people were protesting near a 0.94
01:24:01.060 chinese building in toronto i mean and some ccp goon came out and told the women he can legally
01:24:09.040 shoot her because they're on chinese soil yeah i saw that actually i did not see you're standing 0.87
01:24:15.160 on chinese soil right now so if i want to just gun you down in cold blood i will yeah i saw that 0.99
01:24:20.160 yeah vick tager says did you know the team responsible for the lethal injection were all
01:24:25.100 women i think we did yeah just letting you know it's a little factoid that's a random name again
01:24:29.860 says if our governments were full of traitors what would be different yeah exactly exactly
01:24:34.620 and logan 17 pine says uh something that you should never forget is that the cop is communist 0.78
01:24:42.460 first and foremost oh sorry the ccp the ccp sorry i read that as cop the ccp is communist first and 0.76
01:24:48.820 foremost they may mask it with nationalism but remember so did starlin fair point it would
01:24:54.120 actually be a good long-form conversation to actually dig down into that yeah sure like to
01:25:00.040 what extent is the modern 2026 ccp how is it communist anymore but it's not it's not classically
01:25:09.140 it's not classically nationalist in a bunch of ways it's mercantilist it's mercantilist it's
01:25:14.900 very nationalist it's imperialistic there's lots of different words you could use aren't there yes
01:25:19.100 it'll be a good long-form conversation we should do it happily okay happily all right
01:25:23.960 should we do some of the video shall we of the videos we got today
01:25:27.300 on the subject of effective altruism i saw how you guys were talking about bill gates sending
01:25:35.620 mosquito nets down to africa which i was against on malfusian grounds but it turns out my gut
01:25:41.620 instincts were correct for other reasons so it turns out the africans weren't even using them
01:25:46.080 for their intended purpose they were using the nets to actually fish out all the baby fish in
01:25:50.960 their rivers because their nets could never get the little fish and they wound up basically wiping
01:25:55.420 out their fish populations meaning that they have even more famines going on even my instincts 1.00
01:26:01.860 couldn't predict how craven they could be yeah that's that's retarded it's also tiresome i heard 1.00
01:26:08.820 an old adage you know there's well you know there's the old axiom uh give a man a fish and 0.99
01:26:13.840 feed his family for a day, give him a fishing rod
01:26:15.660 and he can feed his family forever, or whatever it is.
01:26:18.240 But I heard a comedy, it was a stand-up bit,
01:26:20.080 it was literally a comedy stand-up bit,
01:26:21.560 where they said, give a man a fish
01:26:23.020 and he can feed his family for a day,
01:26:25.620 give him a fishing net and he'll completely destroy
01:26:29.780 the fish ecosystem in his local pond or something.
01:26:33.400 He'll catch all the fish in the pond
01:26:35.140 until there's no fish left, something like that.
01:26:37.860 And exactly...
01:26:38.860 There it is.
01:26:39.500 And that's not the Chinese fish, by the way,
01:26:41.260 on a separate note. 0.97
01:26:42.420 like chinese fishing fleets are just destroying fisheries globally anyway china virus too let's go
01:26:49.160 during the so-called pandemic a friend suggested that a group of us enroll on a course at the
01:26:53.580 university of alberta was offering for free on canadian indigenous studies i completed the course
01:26:58.840 but chose not to pay for the certificate needless to say the course devolved into radicalism calls
01:27:04.240 to action and attempts to generate a cadre of protesters from its enrollees i left an excoriating
01:27:10.360 review however the first few lessons were actually highly informative and in the next few video
01:27:15.700 comments i will divulge what i think is permanent learning on the interaction of indigenous and
01:27:20.580 settlers good okay interesting i'll look forward to it yeah remember i am i am part of the iroquois
01:27:29.040 nation myself my chieftain according to one of my two dna results i've got more i've got more
01:27:38.260 Native American Indian 0.98
01:27:39.140 than Elizabeth Warren. 1.00
01:27:41.620 Such a low bar.
01:27:42.920 Yeah, yeah.
01:27:43.660 It was a tiny smidge.
01:27:45.420 And the other DNA had nothing.
01:27:47.100 So it's probably noise
01:27:48.000 in the DNA.
01:27:49.740 But who knows? 0.99
01:27:50.560 Mohawk died himself. 0.99
01:27:51.760 Yeah, it was the Mohawks. 0.99
01:27:52.880 It was exactly, yeah,
01:27:54.380 it was the Mohawks 0.53
01:27:54.980 of the Iroquois nation. 0.95
01:27:56.080 Yeah, so.
01:27:58.700 All right.
01:27:59.260 And I'm Mexican as well, apparently. 0.93
01:28:02.860 I'm not. 1.00
01:28:04.540 That really is. 0.99
01:28:05.420 to swap his midlife crisis for an identity crisis fuck ferraris i just want to be a citizen of 0.99
01:28:12.800 everywhere foe the global nomad i wasn't by the way i've got very very very very british 0.99
01:28:21.800 in all seriousness in all honesty yeah i know i know but we're going to clip the other part
01:28:26.520 and just put that out there it's funny i think it's funny giant solar farm i remember when this
01:28:32.960 used to be cattle you used to be able to see cows and feed them through here sometimes
01:28:39.440 now is it not only have you got it in this field well you've got it in this field too
01:28:45.520 the more time goes on the more i feel like a woodite now this is so much better than a solar farm
01:28:53.440 nice cow
01:29:02.960 yeah it's mental just seeing all these solar farms go up everywhere do you feel like
01:29:08.540 if you're going to buy into the paradigm of it at all which i don't but if you were
01:29:13.980 okay at least offshore wind farms in in britain all right okay no because it because it is very
01:29:22.660 windy yeah but solar farms and they're not reliable i'm saying i don't buy into it i'm
01:29:27.340 saying if you were to but solar farms in britain isn't it famously overcast and cloudy and not
01:29:34.940 sunny in britain we never nearly the whole year round isn't it famously the case that it's not a
01:29:41.120 sunny part of the world yeah okay solar panels right yeah sure cool uh i'll tell you what we're
01:29:48.500 coming up to half past you just do a comment or two each from our segment uh sure why not uh
01:29:55.280 Sophie Liv says, before saying anything else,
01:29:58.320 Fidesz is right, abolish the 19th Amendment 1.00
01:30:00.400 and remove women from all seats of power. 1.00
01:30:03.500 The fertility rate is too low. 1.00
01:30:05.060 They have a job at home. 0.99
01:30:07.640 And Michael Rebelba says,
01:30:09.120 compassion to the guilty is torture for the innocent.
01:30:11.440 Yeah, absolutely, absolutely.
01:30:13.640 And yes, it does remind,
01:30:15.440 it is actually, as someone points out,
01:30:17.280 it is insane that these people
01:30:18.620 who constantly advocate mercy
01:30:21.500 to clearly guilty parties 0.69
01:30:23.060 are always insane supporters of abortion.
01:30:27.780 Yeah, this is true.
01:30:29.160 It's odd, isn't it?
01:30:30.340 Yeah.
01:30:31.580 Absolute banger here from Thane Scotty of Swindon.
01:30:34.420 It says, this is fantastic news.
01:30:36.400 France is burning. 0.92
01:30:37.360 90% of the population is diverse 1.00
01:30:39.220 and we're tearing down existing institutions. 0.99
01:30:41.860 By the way, The Camp of the Saints is a horribly racist novel
01:30:44.780 and how dare you ever bring it up?
01:30:46.980 Yeah, it really does feel like that.
01:30:48.540 And HM Butterknife Permit Registry says, 0.98
01:30:51.420 The French are revolting hasn't been news for 960 years at this point. 1.00
01:30:56.480 Good one. 1.00
01:30:57.460 Good one.
01:30:58.540 And I can read one or two from yours, Beau, as well.
01:31:02.720 Yeah, sure.
01:31:05.680 Fiorius Dan says, 0.91
01:31:07.100 Remember the time China set up fake police stations in Canada
01:31:10.460 to monitor and blackmail Chinese immigrants?
01:31:13.940 It was a huge story a while back. 1.00
01:31:16.000 Yes.
01:31:16.620 When was this?
01:31:17.300 That got memory hold real quick, didn't it?
01:31:19.580 They still have them.
01:31:21.080 Do they?
01:31:22.200 I'll bet you they are still surveying their population.
01:31:26.020 Remember, Vancouver is a Chinese city.
01:31:30.080 Well, a bunch of Indians as well.
01:31:31.840 Let's not forget them.
01:31:32.960 But big chunks of Vancouver are Chinese. 1.00
01:31:36.640 So it's crazy. 1.00
01:31:38.520 Right.
01:31:39.420 And honorable mention, Sam Westing just says,
01:31:43.420 as you've mentioned Chronicles, Luke,
01:31:45.180 I can't remember if I've asked you this before,
01:31:47.380 would you ever consider doing a Chronicles
01:31:49.240 about Redwall.
01:31:50.920 I don't know if you've asked me,
01:31:52.460 but yes, I would.
01:31:53.300 I'll get round to that at some point.
01:31:55.660 All right, then.
