00:07:34.800And it is definitely going to affect him in the parliamentary elections next year.
00:07:41.740We have people from another party, the Confederazione Party, warning police officers that trying to aid the attempt to overthrow constitutional bodies will result in a big punishment.
00:07:59.280Most probably, they say it could be up to 20 years in prison.
00:08:02.000In some cases, it probably could be a bit more.
00:08:06.560But it's definitely something that will give the benefit of the doubt to several people
00:08:13.500who are going to wonder whether they should obey the president or the prime minister.
00:08:19.320I mean, usually when you attempt a coup and it fails, it doesn't end well for you.
00:08:24.500So we have several people backing Donald Tusk, primarily the European Commission.
00:08:32.000the EU Commission. Right? They have reiterated that Poland's parliament must have the right
00:08:38.100to appoint new judges, lending support to Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk in an escalating
00:08:43.420confrontation over the country's constitutional tribunal. Luckily, they aren't the only people
00:08:49.120who have a say over the matter. We have here a Polish Secretary of State. He is appointed by
00:08:55.840Karol Nowrowski in the presidential chancellery. He's not an ally of Donald Tusk. He says,
00:09:01.760even lawyers who are close to the Tusk government say that there is absolutely no legal basis for
00:09:06.540such behavior. And we have here, generally speaking, an ally of Donald Tusk, Premislav
00:09:12.840Rosati, the head of the National Baric Council, questioning and criticizing the actions of the
00:09:18.500usurper Korovin Piotrowska in the Constitutional Tribunal. She is an ally of Tusk within the...
00:09:23.760Just to clarify what happened, Tusk's allies tried to say that the president of the Constitutional Tribunal was no longer president, removed him and the number two guy, and then claimed that this lady, however you pronounce her name, Corwin Pietruska, is in fact the new head of the Constitutional Tribunal.
00:09:46.440So this is this sort of big escalation that happened.
00:09:51.640and then the police surround the constitutional court and they lock it up. And then the president,
00:09:57.440along with the previous or current, depending on how you look at it, head of the constitutional
00:10:02.640court, they barge in and they tell them, no, that's not happening. Stop it. Yes.
00:10:08.660Backed by a big wave of protests. We are going to talk about it. We're going to talk to you about
00:10:13.280the two narratives about what happened, both the side of the president and the side of the
00:10:18.960prime minister. Right. We have here from the Law and Justice Party calling for a vote of no
00:10:27.540confidence in the same, that is the Polish parliament. Now, the president cannot veto the
00:10:32.540person of the prime minister, but the parliament can with a vote of no confidence. Nevertheless,
00:10:38.840the president has important veto powers with respect to the agenda of the prime minister
00:10:44.140that can trigger a parliamentary crisis for the prime minister. Right. So we have the statement
00:10:51.060by the president of the Republic of Poland, Karol Nowrowski, who is saying that the acts of Donald
00:10:58.960Tusk were essentially a coup. We have two radically different narratives about what happened.
00:11:06.240According to the president, Karol Nowrowski, the constitutional tribunal is a lawful and
00:11:12.700constitutional body, and the judges there are valid. According to the side of the Polish
00:11:19.080Prime Minister Donald Tusk, it is to an extent unlawful. And they're saying that there are some
00:11:25.560judges in there that were illegally appointed, unconstitutionally appointed, and they call them
00:11:31.340the stand-in judges or the standby judges. And they said that these actions were sort of necessary
00:11:38.420in order to engage in the militant democracy of Tusk
00:11:43.120and in order to restore the rule of law
00:12:22.120that Donald Tusk was elected in the middle of 2023
00:12:27.500and the Polish president was elected in 2025.
00:12:32.160So from the middle of 2023 to 2025, the Polish people saw that there was sort of a shift, if you'd like it, but they said that they are going to vote for a conservative president.
00:12:50.260which suggests that the Polish people who are sovereign do want to have a president that is
00:12:57.260conservative and will use the presidential powers in order to promote a conservative agenda.
00:13:04.200Right. So we have now the statement, as I showed you, Donald Tusk said, either you will lead them
00:13:13.860out after a year of parliament, or they will lead us out of the European Union.
00:13:18.760Right. Now, it is interesting that Donald Tusk was elected in 2023. And this is a statement
00:13:28.380and an action that took place in October the 30th of 2026. So you would expect that he would
00:13:37.180probably try to act before. Now, there's a counter argument there that the judges are
00:13:42.520supposed to be 15. Some of the judges, the tenures of these judges, because it's a nine-year
00:13:48.340position and it can be renewable, we're bound to end. And he was waiting for this. But, you know,
00:13:54.340it's a fair thing to say that this is a constitutional crisis that goes back many
00:13:59.420years. It didn't happen right now. This is a constitutional crisis that has to do to a very
00:14:04.200large extent with what Donald Tusk there says, the European Union and the terms of Poland's
00:14:11.780membership to the union. Right. And he says, here's something interesting, says Dmitry Medvedev,
00:14:19.020former president of Russia, stated that coup d'etat took place in Poland and the Tusk's
00:14:23.760liberals, Brussels protege, are oppressing the conservatives from the Law and Justice Party,
00:14:28.620and everything is clear. So I want to take issue with this because it seems to me that
00:14:35.520several key members of the EU are essentially, in a way, infatuated with Putin's Russia.
00:14:43.260Like we see this with the Poland-Belarus border. It is supposed to be the only border of the
00:14:50.700European Union from which the European Union destabilized and can be destabilized by huge
00:14:56.760migration flows. And when it comes to every other border, the same rhetoric that the EU is applying
00:15:02.620to that border constitutes far-right racist extremist.
00:15:06.900And the question is, why do they think that it is only, for instance, Putin's Russia that
00:15:11.060could wage hybrid warfare to destabilize the European Union and Europe only from that border?
00:16:24.260So here we have the two perspectives. According to the president's side, this is an illegal coup. The president is using his constitutionally provided for veto powers in order to block the judges that Donald Tusk wants to appoint there.
00:16:44.040And Donald Tusk's side says that this starts in 2015 with a very problematic action of the Law and Justice Party with respect to judges.
00:18:07.400And essentially, it says that lately Donald Tusk has put forward some judges and has voted for some judges by parliament.
00:18:17.680And Karol Nowrowski is saying no to them.
00:18:20.760So the argument of the pro-Tusk side is that the president cannot indefinitely veto judges who have been elected by the Polish parliament from a constitutional and under a constitutionally respectful manner.
00:18:37.440What's the worry about these judges in particular? Just that they are more aligned with Tusk's side and that they are liberal?
00:18:43.660Right. Here is where we go to some big picture considerations.
00:19:00.800In 2015, and moved swiftly to appoint judges to the court to gain a majority there because the court has the power to decide on the legality of legislation.
00:19:10.200Leading European courts, the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union,
00:19:15.900subsequently ruled the PIS majority had elected three of the judges improperly because they were
00:19:22.880duplicating positions that have been validly filled by the previous parliament. And they say
00:19:27.580that the European courts ruled Poland's constitutional court was no longer an independent
00:19:32.580and impartial tribunal, and Tusk's government has used those rulings as a basis to stop publishing
00:19:39.020the tribunal's rulings. So what we have here is a very years-long battle with respect to the
00:19:45.820relationship between Polish courts and European courts. And I want to say something to friends
00:19:55.080who are watching us from Poland. To a very large extent, they know much more about us
00:20:00.920when it comes to Poland, but we can tell them something about the ECHR. And I really want to
00:20:08.180mention something about the ECHR here. Where is the document? Here. So the ECHR is constantly,
00:20:17.980I have some case studies. Where are they? So this could be considered what? An attempt by the ECHR
00:20:26.020to gain sovereignty over Polish courts in the same way that they have influence in British courts.
00:20:30.980And we have several case studies. So for instance, here, safeguarding the rule of law in European
00:20:36.480Union, euruleoflaw.eu, you can find a number of court rulings where these two clash. And I'm
00:20:44.700going to give you two case studies, because I think they are important, and they show roughly
00:20:51.200what the ultimate goal of Donald Tusk is. And I'm not going to bore you with details, but I think
00:20:59.340that they're important. So, ending constitutional resistance, the CGEU's rejection of ultra-virus
00:21:06.720review and national identity doctrines. In its judgment in Commission versus Poland,
00:21:12.900C-448-23, the Court of Justice of the European Union confronted head-on the Polish
00:21:18.340Constitutional Tribunates, PCT, attempts to exert a national constitutional control
00:21:28.320So this directly says that EU law is going to be supreme, okay?
00:21:33.120And here we have another case where it is interesting for two reasons.
00:21:37.980First, they're saying that the Polish court was, in a way, evil or bad for banning abortion.
00:21:47.400And they are interestingly citing my favorite article from the ECHR, Article 8.
00:21:53.660I'll show you in a bit why and why I am phrasing it here.
00:21:57.300We're all very familiar with article 8 right now.
00:22:00.300Yes, I'll tell you why, because this is an article that is really close to my heart
00:22:04.320and is basically Schrodinger's article.
00:22:07.860Right, so they're saying here in a landmark judgment in the case of ML versus Poland
00:22:12.020concerning restrictions on access to legal abortion in Poland,
00:22:16.460the European Court of Human Rights confirmed a violation of the right to private and family life.
00:22:21.440So EU law organization want to say we are supreme. Polish law is subordinate to EU law. And essentially, that means that activist judges who have the final authority in the EU to interpret the ECHR are allegedly going to run the show in Poland.
00:22:46.340and rulings of the Polish courts can be blocked by appealing to the ECHR.
00:22:54.020And they're saying here that, for instance, the Article 8 clause of the ECHR was violated by Poland's ruling.
00:23:02.380Therefore, this is a constitutional tribunal that we don't like particularly.
00:24:33.200far-right article of the ECHR, because it is precisely what the people that the EU Commission
00:24:39.560regularly is dismissing as far-right radicals are essentially appealing to. They're not saying
00:24:45.980I'm appealing to Article 8, Close 2 of the ECHR, but they're essentially saying that when it comes
00:24:52.580to foreigners, the right to remain is not unconditional. Theoretically. When it comes to
00:24:59.020When it comes to promoting abortion, the EU Commission and the ECHR is saying, let's hide behind Article 8 in order to encroach upon the Polish Constitutional Tribunal.
00:25:12.800When it comes to people not getting deported, who are violent criminals, they have done their sentence here, which is often very relaxed.
00:25:21.820They resist deportation. Why? Because their lawyers appeal to the very article that says
00:25:29.080that they should be deported. Why? Ultimately, this means that it is an institution that is
00:25:36.460basically captured by activists, by radical left activists. So the EU is trying to cultivate this
00:25:43.980narrative according to which there are problems with the Polish Constitutional Tribunal, and it
00:25:49.900is a politically captured institution. To whatever extent this is the case, I'll leave it up to
00:25:56.560people more capable than I am to determine. But when it comes to the EU and the ECHR,
00:26:04.340it's important to ask occasionally, who are you to say this? Because when the ECHR says essentially
00:26:13.860that the right to remain in a country isn't unconditional.
00:26:19.380And the very people entrusted with the authority to interpret this
00:26:22.240are essentially using this and twisting this
00:26:24.880in order to say that only criminals have human rights
00:26:27.900and therefore they shouldn't be deported in the EU
00:26:30.940and in European countries, also in the UK.
00:26:34.160That should pose and give us a doubt about
00:26:36.880who are those people who are trying to run EU, the UK, and also Poland
00:26:42.980from what it looks like. So at the end of the day, that is something that people should be
00:26:48.340mindful of. And when it comes to the constitution of the Republic of Poland of 1997, I'll just
00:26:55.000mention from here, the president is citing some articles. I'll just give you what these articles
00:27:03.060are. Article 128, where it says that it designates the president as the supreme representative
00:27:12.800of the Polish state and the guarantor of continuity, state sovereignty, and the observance of the
00:29:37.800Because I would imagine that this was probably written, expressed for the purposes of fitting into the EU regime.
00:29:44.060Yes, but the issue is, though, that it isn't just, in a way, if one thing is black and white, but the opposite is also black and white, we have a constitutional dreadlock.
00:29:54.520So in a way, the Constitution does give also the president the right to veto.
00:30:01.500There are people who are trying to say that, in a way, people outside of Poland are imposing, let's say, different categories on Polish politics.1.00
00:30:15.160Donald Tusk doesn't exactly have the pro-migration stance of Sanchez.
00:30:20.380But you could also say that there are issues there. Why would he want to make people who are in charge of interpreting the EU ECHR law right now power over Polish courts? That's a major thing.
00:30:39.440And also there is the other issue of Poland as a society.
00:30:43.980Maybe someone who would want in the future to implement a very anti-conservative agenda would try to appear more conservative in order to fish votes from the sort of Polish center.
00:30:56.580So it's, I hope you can, you found this informative.0.65
00:33:44.840It gets really bad because you need 60 votes to impeach.
00:33:47.820And the Republicans who have always disliked Trump and resent his control over the party might figure out, well, you know, it's between our electoral prospects and continuing to back this guy.
00:36:01.180I think of myself as a Christian of hate Christianity and I always get drawn back into it because nowhere else and no other political philosophy and no other economic theory do I find anything as truly radical or revolutionary as the teaching of that barefoot rabbi, which I think, as you mentioned, look alike, you know, the teachings of the Buddha and from great mystical traditions.
00:36:21.540But I can't find anything wherever I look that is really quite the same in version of values that I think we need.
00:36:27.500Then why does he say he hates Christianity?
00:36:30.420Well, because he likes the inversion of value.
00:36:33.220He wants to use Christianity as a subversive force.0.75
00:36:36.120And then he talks about a non-binary God, I guess.
00:36:40.700You can say he dislikes the superstructure of the institution of Christianity,0.87
00:36:46.720as in the church, I suppose, while he still likes the text and the religious teachings.
00:36:51.260But Tallarico says no to abortion and no to euthanasia and, unfortunately, yes to immigration.
00:41:04.760The blacks didn't vote for him. The Hispanics voted two thirds against him. All of the other ethnic groups in the United States mostly voted against him. Yes, more so in 2024 than in previous rounds. Yes, he improved some of his demographic trends, but he won by virtue of the white vote.
00:41:25.260And what happened, the reason that now the Democrats look like they're going to win this, unfortunately, is because he didn't deliver to his core constituency.
00:41:38.980Everybody else, as you say, is playing identity politics.
00:41:42.660I have to say it is playing identity politics.
00:41:47.100Ilhan Omar, all of these people are focused primarily on their own identity group.
00:41:53.560The only people who are failing to deliver for their group are the so-called right.
00:41:59.600Let me give you a really quick example.
00:42:02.340And I don't want to derail your segment.
00:42:04.200But for instance, when it comes to the Michigan race, right, with Abdullah El-Sayed from the Democrats and Mike Rogers.
00:42:10.960So there is one rhetoric that says, well, Mike Rogers should stop doing the fear campaign and should give a positive view like I will deport Abdullah El-Sayed.
00:42:22.080I've had this conversation here on this panel.
00:42:24.660But from another perspective, people who would think of identity politics and would say there is zero reason for me to ever want Abdul El-Sayed to become the senator of Michigan are already backing Mike Rogers.
00:42:39.540So from his perspective, he'd say, I do have their support, so we'll have to water down my rhetoric a bit in order to convince those in the middle who are the swing voters.
00:42:51.220And yes, there are people in the U.S. who are, a few of them, who are Republicans who are saying, who are more of the Fuentes type and to say, don't go and vote, like Carlson.
00:48:32.900Well, to offer some counter-arguments to everything put forward,
00:48:36.300regarding corruption, the counter-argument could be put forward
00:48:40.520that the Democrats are just as bad, or even worse,
00:48:45.900just think to Hunter Biden, think to the entire career
00:48:49.080of the Clintons themselves, particularly Hillary.
00:48:52.820Similarly, you can say regarding the Ukraine war,
00:48:55.560that the Democrats would have just continued to support it as is anyway,
00:48:58.740as they were under the Biden administration.
00:49:00.600and then uh with the the big one would be uh the argument that perhaps the iran war wouldn't have
00:49:07.320broken out under the democrats but then at the same time if trump was working off of the back of
00:49:13.340what israel was already planning to do and the likelihood that there was an establishment within
00:49:17.720the american deep state in the foreign policy side the state department that were already probably
00:49:22.220gunning for something like that anyway that it could have broken out anyway but that is
00:49:26.500a counterfactual. That's a hypothetical. Think about it this way. If Trump had taken the Epstein
00:49:33.140files and said to the Israelis, I am going to skewer you over the Epstein files, and I am going
00:49:41.000to absolutely destroy you if you do anything that I don't want, and I'm going to release everything0.97
00:49:48.100that is in the files, unredacted, lock up people like Howard Lutnick, like Loder, like all kinds
00:49:55.240of others who were mentioned in the file, like Larry Fink, left and right, and there's going to
00:50:00.360be arrests, and there's going to be indictments, and people are going to suffer enormously for
00:50:06.040their role in the Epstein files. They would not have been in a position to pressure him on anything
00:50:11.000whatsoever. Instead, what Trump did was say, no, the Epstein files are a democratic hoax.
00:50:17.740Well, they weren't a hoax. It was real. We had Macron coordinating with the Epstein networks.
00:50:22.380We had the Emiratis, the Qataris, the Saudis, everybody coordinating with the FC network.0.82
00:50:28.280Well, there's the other parts where they did, well, half of them, three million of however so many files did end up getting released anyway.
00:50:36.740But the hemming and whoring and the deflections to begin with made it seem like they were doing it under duress rather than freely.
00:50:44.240Exactly. The assassination attempts against Trump, we still don't understand what happened.
00:50:50.640Nobody really knows what happened with the assassination attempts.
00:51:43.160So the problem was that he had a mandate to make this kind of radical change.
00:51:51.340Instead, this is a presidency that's kind of limping along.
00:51:55.420And now he's going to enter a lame duck period where he's being constantly prosecuted by the Democrats for everything that he has done legally and illegally,
00:52:06.040including the stuff that was done by Hunter Biden,
00:52:10.360where similar stuff was done by Hunter Biden,
00:52:34.160And then add to that the Iran war and what it's done to gas prices, they are now at, what, 4.4 to the gallon?
00:52:43.080I mean, in England, people wish that they would have this kind of gas price.
00:52:47.180But in the United States, this is a 50% increase from where they were when Trump first got into office.
00:52:54.580Currently across the country in the UK, diesel prices, which is tragically what I drive, are up to consistently across the country, two pound per litre.
01:08:44.280The fact that, you know, I can't send my kids on a short bike ride on their own because God knows what might happen.
01:08:52.160The fact that you constantly have to be present at every step, whereas growing up, you know, we were just allowed to roam endlessly, freely, because it was a functioning society.
01:09:07.980So you can't garden your way out of this.
01:09:11.720although I do also encourage people at the same time yeah do things that will put you into a more
01:09:19.500positive and productive state of mind just don't think that it's going to solve the broader problems
01:09:25.620that we're all facing now regarding what he's saying about Riku what do we know about Riku
01:09:32.360well Connor has done a number of segments in the past and continues to speak about them this is a
01:09:36.860post from almost two years ago now, but this shows how long we've known about this. But at the same
01:09:43.220time, there's still a lot that's guarded about them. They are a department in the home office.
01:09:48.800The head ran psyops out of Baghdad during the Iraq war. That's a former MI6 agent, now deceased,
01:09:55.900Charles Farr. And then he returned to centrally plan UK government and media responses to Muslim
01:10:01.680terror attacks. They also put critics of Islam and immigration on a watch list. That's right,
01:10:06.860Riku are the group that branded reading Tolkien, watching the thick of it, enjoying the works of
01:10:13.380C.S. Lewis as potential warning signs of far-right activism. And we've just got loads of information0.97
01:10:20.700about them these days, while at the same time their methods and what they do outside of some
01:10:26.260of these first-hand accounts that are starting to leak out in the best ways that they can without
01:10:32.480putting themselves in legal trouble. And I hope nothing that I have said here could put Pilps in0.94
01:10:38.640that kind of trouble because honestly, that guy does deserve some peace. Outside of that, what we
01:10:45.780know about them and how they work is still rather clandestine. So just going into some detail from
01:10:51.020this Daily Mail article from earlier on this year, their techniques range from planting stories
01:10:56.760in the media, using undercover operatives to lay flowers at the scene of terror attacks and
01:11:02.360even in one case, sending pop groups to sing anti-extremist songs in Muslim schools. I'm sure0.90
01:11:08.400that's going to work. Their full name is the Research Information and Communications Unit.
01:11:13.100They are 22 strong in their staffing. Started in 2007 by Charles Farr, former MI6 officer,
