The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters #930

00:00:00.000 Hello, beautiful people. Welcome to the podcast of The Load Seeders. Today is Wednesday, the 5th of June, and this is episode 930. I'm joined today by Josh and Connor.

00:00:11.880 Hello. Are you trying to sell our audience a rose at a Spanish resort?

00:00:14.980 Yeah, possibly.

00:00:16.460 Stelios is just oozing seduction today.

00:00:18.600 Hello, pretty lady. 1.00

00:00:19.800 I want to give my message of positivity to the world and make everyone happy.

00:00:24.640 Right. Today we are going to discuss the Zoomers' rising apt to vote for Farage, South Africa's historic election, and D.I. Barbie drama. 0.98

00:00:36.420 Wonderful. Oh, yes. If you do know, it is a Wednesday, so at three o'clock today, we'll have my show, Tomlinson Talks.

00:00:42.620 This afternoon I'm debating the good Dr. Nima Parvini, the academic agent, on the case for zero seats, because I love the good doctor, though I do.

00:00:49.620 He is endorsing voting Labour to destroy the Tories, and I think that that's unwise, given we can have a couple of allies to form some sort of right-wing coalition in opposition.

00:00:58.700 So stay tuned for that. If you aren't subscribed yet, let us £5 a month, and you'll be able to go post in the live chat and complain about us.

00:01:04.740 And that's going to be very interesting, because I've heard that he is one of the main defenders of the idea of zero seats.

00:01:10.740 He created the meme.

00:01:12.240 Yeah.

00:01:12.580 Yeah.

00:01:13.140 Good. Right. So let's start. The Zoomers rise up. 1.00

00:01:17.260 Yeah. So something's happening. There's a big vibe shift happening in politics this week.

00:01:22.560 So in the last week, we've had Liz Truss talk to the Lotus Eaters and not back down from speaking to us. That's been wonderful.

00:01:28.820 And then out of the ether came Nigel Farage. He's back. He's running in Clacton. He's taken over from Richard Tice as leader of Reform UK.

00:01:38.200 And it seems there's going to be a big shift in terms of overall votes and possibly translating to a few seats.

00:01:44.040 I think the most recent poll today said four. But that's not the most interesting part. The most interesting part is what kind of ground game is he running?

00:01:49.580 Because it seems to me, and we're not going to play this because it is a copyrighted song, because Eminem's Without Me, that's the real slim shade.

00:01:56.620 I really don't like Eminem.

00:01:58.000 So I'm not a big fan of Eminem. However, it is very fitting because he's done like little fan cams and things like that.

00:02:03.660 He's got a very interesting mimetic ground game that all of the other politicians just don't have.

00:02:09.340 And he also has this impish grin, which I absolutely respect because, you know, I'm also capable of it.

00:02:15.920 Well, yeah, you laugh at Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin.

00:02:18.080 Yes, exactly.

00:02:18.960 It's brilliant. And I think Farage, as he said in his announcement, he's injected some much needed jubilance into an otherwise boring and sclerotic election.

00:02:26.860 Did either of you watch that dreadful debate yesterday on ITV?

00:02:29.560 I didn't watch the debate, no. I knew what would happen.

00:02:32.200 I would have had a better time wrapping my testicles in barbed wire. It was like, which insincere bank manager do you trust to raise net migration over the next five years? 0.98

00:02:40.620 Is it red or is it blue? And they both shouted at each other and looked impotent and miserable. 0.78

00:02:44.200 Well, the whole purpose of the debate to kind of establish how people are going to vote was sort of void when everyone knows it's going to be Keir Starmer that's going to be prime minister.

00:02:53.020 It's a done deal, right?

00:02:54.600 That and also the policies are indistinct, other than Labour might be slightly more expensive.

00:02:59.020 And Rishi Sunak might do gay race communism slightly slower. 0.95

00:03:02.560 Well, I reject the politics of everyone on the podium. So it's like hearing, you know, people fighting about something I don't care about.

00:03:08.300 Yeah, quite. And that's that exact reason is why so many people were disaffected and not willing to vote in the next election.

00:03:14.220 I think Farage coming into it has meant that a lot of people, particularly radicalised young men, radicalised for the right reasons.

00:03:20.120 If you're watching this, you're probably our audience, are now more likely to go out and make a stand.

00:03:25.140 What I really cannot understand about the debate last night, I watched part of it, is how on earth can you have the ambition to become a prime minister and want to put up a former performance like that?

00:03:37.960 Well, they had zero confidence in what they were saying.

00:03:42.080 Yes, because, so Keir Starmer's strategy is to stay away from the cameras and be as vague as possible because he thinks he's a write-in candidate because the Tories have collapsed their own base.

00:03:52.620 And Rishi Sunak's strategy is to scramble, to buy off the boomers as much as possible to keep some of the safe seats. 0.99

00:03:58.620 So none of them are actually going for the floating voters because most of those aren't voting at all.

00:04:02.180 That's what Farage is picking up.

00:04:03.300 And he's right when he says there is a massive constituency that just hasn't been captured there yet.

00:04:07.880 But briefly before I go into that, something that did happen yesterday was that Farage had a milkshake thrown at him.

00:04:13.060 So I'm going to play the clip.

00:04:14.300 I will quickly mute it because the sound is...

00:04:19.560 So you see here he's walking out of the Wetherspoons and then some woman in a white tracksuit comes up and throws a presumably banana milkshake from McDonald's all over him.

00:04:27.020 Now, this woman is a single mother.

00:04:29.540 She has an OnlyFans account and she's a Corbynista.

00:04:31.880 Unlike the conspiracy theories online that even an LBC host said, this is not Emily Hewitson, who is a friend of Farage's, working to generate controversy for the thing.

00:04:42.420 If you say that, she's probably going to sue you.

00:04:44.380 Confirm that wasn't Emily.

00:04:46.440 Won't like to kiss and tell.

00:04:47.340 But anyway, point being, Farage has then made memes out of this.

00:04:50.320 Again, capitalizing on this just by going, yeah, you know, not great that Joe Brown once said you should throw battery acid in my face, but I'm not going to be stopped by some tart dousing me in a McDonald's milkshake and things like this.

00:05:05.360 And I think that's a much better way of handling things than the insecurity or tightly controlled Blairite messaging of either Starmer or Sunak.

00:05:13.660 I think it's wise.

00:05:15.020 Milkshake vibes intensifying.

00:05:16.900 Being able to take a bit of banter, you know, is necessary.

00:05:19.320 If you're a proper English person, right?

00:05:22.120 Well, I suppose it's true of the Welsh and the Scots as well.

00:05:25.200 A bit of back and forth, a bit of banter is normal.

00:05:29.240 That's how normal people talk to each other.

00:05:31.060 And the fact that politicians are so wooden and inhuman just further disaffects them.

00:05:36.120 So, you know, the disaffecting is useful in that it makes people realize that these people are not for their interest.

00:05:42.880 But Farage seems to do being normal quite well.

00:05:46.660 Well, the fact that he's at risk of being milkshaped from close proximity is awful, but it also shows that he's literally in touch with his constituency, unlike the regional managers of the UK as a sort of satellite branch of a global hegemony that Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer have morphed into.

00:06:02.800 And remember, Keir Starmer said he prefers Davos to Westminster.

00:06:05.580 Well, Nigel Farage has spent exactly one day in Clacton and he's already endeared himself to the locals to the extent where hundreds of them just come out to hear him speak as his campaign manager puts a stereo on top of his head.

00:06:14.920 That's brilliant.

00:06:15.760 I love that.

00:06:16.440 It's great.

00:06:17.100 So who was he specifically talking about in his announcement speech that said there's something happening, there's a big movement?

00:06:22.160 Well, I decided to clip it because he kept talking about, and I'll play this for a second, he kept talking about how there is something happening, there are young people up and down the country, and the reason he ran was because they were themselves saying, there's nobody to vote for and I feel betrayed if you don't run.

00:06:36.280 I don't know, I also know, just as throughout Europe there is a new phenomenon racing through politics ahead of these European elections this weekend, I promise you something is happening out there.

00:06:54.360 I've been in this game 30 years, I've fought lots of elections, I've generally got a pretty good sense of timing, something is happening out there.

00:07:02.080 So yes, I changed my mind, and you know what, I'm not ashamed of it, one little bit.

00:07:09.020 So, I think, just having encountered random people in train stations and at events, we know there are a lot of young men across the UK watching our stuff, they range from their mid-30s to even still in school.

00:07:22.860 There is something palpable about dispossession of people born since 1997, who have never known anything but Blairism, mass migration, the deprivation of job opportunities and housing, that mean they're not in tune with the liberal paradigm anymore, and they're more likely to direct their energy towards someone like Nigel Farage.

00:07:41.800 And I think there are quite a few people that he's pointing out as a kind of constituency that doesn't show up in polls, because they weren't going to vote for Rishi Sunak or Keir Starmer.

00:07:51.180 Now Farage has come along, he's galvanizing something tangible.

00:07:54.660 I think that this is absolutely the case, and I've taught for six years at university, and you could say that, you know, essentially that's teaching children that just left school.

00:08:07.060 And the men from them, they're absolutely pissed off with the indoctrination that they have, because in the past, you could say that the left had a stronger hold on them, because the narrative was only economic oppressor versus economically oppressed.

00:08:27.700 Now, there's a direct targeting of men, and they're not having it.

00:08:32.700 They're not having it, and they're absolutely pissed off with it.

00:08:35.520 Well, if in every classroom, this is, I've been saying this for a little while, I mean, I said this in trigonometry, and it resonated, so that's good.

00:08:41.820 You know, if white men have been actively demonized by all of their blue-haired feminist teachers for ages, and they hear constantly about how they're at fault for all of society's problems,

00:08:49.600 and any time they manifest competence, it's just another proof of toxic patriarchy, when millions of them don't even have a dad in the home,

00:08:57.160 then yeah, they're going to get a bit resentful of that.

00:08:58.880 And the first candidate that comes along and says, actually, you've been deprived of a cultural inheritance, job opportunities, the ability to have a family,

00:09:05.100 your ability to own a home has been indefinitely deferred at the altar of mass migration and increasing the GDP while you're getting personally poorer,

00:09:11.000 and your high street is being robbed from you, then yeah, they're going to be pretty annoyed about that.

00:09:14.720 And anyone who comes along and says, I'm going to fix that, they're going to gravitate towards them, which is encouraging.

00:09:19.240 Well, this affects us as well, right? We're sort of within this age bracket where we're getting screwed over by all of these problems as well.

00:09:26.380 We're having to live through it, and as does anyone who doesn't really, you know, have a stake in the economy,

00:09:32.080 anyone who's not in the housing market, for example, or doesn't have any feasible way of getting into it, that is this demographic, right?

00:09:39.740 Any man at 35. 0.83

00:09:41.040 Yeah.

00:09:41.660 The most common arrangement currently for anyone 18 to 35 in the UK is living at home with their parents.

00:09:45.960 So that just means that if you want to have the native British population having families, you're not going to have that.

00:09:52.260 So you're actively encouraging the worst kinds of benefits subsistence,

00:09:55.340 a disproportionate number of whom are foreign nationals in the last few years, to come over and have lots of kids.

00:09:59.940 And so you're making me pay for them while I'm trying to save for a deposit that's constantly being outpaced by inflation.

00:10:04.820 Yeah, anyone who comes along and says, I'm going to fix that, yeah, of course loads of people are going to vote for them.

00:10:08.360 That's also happening in Europe, which is very interesting.

00:10:10.360 This is obviously this year, lots of elections are happening.

00:10:12.880 I think it's France, Germany, the Dutch ones have just happened, which you did excellent coverage of.

00:10:17.860 Thank you.

00:10:18.120 The US elections are happening.

00:10:19.460 We're seeing a massive swing towards parties like the AFD or particularly towards Donald Trump among young men in America,

00:10:25.000 because they are sick of migration being the principal issue and economic mismanagement robbing them of their lives and their livelihoods.

00:10:32.280 It turns out if you treat, you know, men, young men poorly, they're not going to support you.

00:10:37.820 It's funny that, isn't it?

00:10:38.940 Yeah, for all the wittering on about democracy, they don't actually like when the vote is taken away.

00:10:42.880 There's a reason I'm here, right?

00:10:44.740 Yeah, quite.

00:10:45.680 So I'm just going to read a little bit.

00:10:46.860 In Belgium, France, Portugal, Germany and Finland, younger voters are backing anti-immigration and anti-establishment parties in numbers equal to and even exceeding older voters.

00:10:54.300 Analyses of recent elections and research of young people's political preferences suggest.

00:10:58.460 In the Netherlands, Geert Wilders, anti-immigration, far-right, Freedom Party, far-right, do one, right?

00:11:03.660 That's political.

00:11:04.040 Yeah, far-right, far-right just means that he doesn't think that all people are ultimately fundable and we can import infinity immigrants from here to the heat death of the universe.

00:11:11.660 I think, if anything, they're classical liberals more, you know, they're the sort of free market and, you know, liberalization.

00:11:18.660 Geert is opposed to Islam because he's pro-Israel, pro-gay, pro-women's rights.

00:11:23.460 He's not opposed to it in some sort of like identitarian, ethno-nationalist way.

00:11:27.700 So it's a very liberal opposition to Islam. 0.97

00:11:30.260 So, far-right, again, ludicrous.

00:11:31.600 Well, I mean, there are plenty of prominent liberals, at least, you know, in the 1990s, early 2000s, that were very outspoken about Islam, weren't they? 0.70

00:11:39.820 It's not unheard of.

00:11:40.680 Remaining one.

00:11:41.420 Yeah.

00:11:41.880 I mean, Christopher Hitchens.

00:11:43.040 Yeah, quite.

00:11:43.620 Yeah.

00:11:43.940 There you go.

00:11:44.740 So, in the Netherlands, Wilders Party won the 2023 election on a campaign that tied affordable housing to restrictions on immigration, a focus that struck a chord with young voters.

00:11:52.140 Yeah, well, if you keep importing people and raise house prices, people that can't get a house are going to be annoyed.

00:11:58.060 Shock.

00:11:58.980 In Portugal, the party, I'm not going to say far-right, Chega, which means enough in Portuguese, drew on young people's frustration with the housing crisis, among other quality of life concerns.

00:12:07.580 The analysis also points to a split.

00:12:09.040 Young women often reported support for Greens and other left-leaning parties.

00:12:12.600 Amazing what birth control will do.

00:12:14.040 Anti-immigration parties did particularly well against young men.

00:12:16.380 So, let's look to the UK, because so far, we haven't, before Farage was running, had an anti-immigration candidate.

00:12:21.420 Because Rishi Sunak has promised, as soon as Farage ran, to lower migration.

00:12:25.160 Do you know how he's going to do that?

00:12:26.560 He's going to ask the Migration Advisory Committee, the quango that increased migration in the first place, in line with, to increase GDP, mainly among students, to set an arbitrary cap. 0.92

00:12:35.620 So, the cap is probably going to be higher than the current level of net migration, but lower than it would have projected to rise by.

00:12:40.640 That's absolutely what's going to happen.

00:12:41.360 I have a quick question for Stelios.

00:12:42.780 Have you noticed anything in Greek politics following these trends?

00:12:45.340 Because I've seen a lot of trends in sort of Northwestern Europe.

00:12:48.320 Is it translating in, you know, the Mediterranean world?

00:12:51.960 I think slowly.

00:12:53.280 Slowly?

00:12:53.980 It is beginning to take hold.

00:12:56.440 But we had a, 10 years ago, we had this, but with more, you could say, further right, very hard right, and actually far right parties.

00:13:08.620 Is that the golden dawn?

00:13:09.580 Yes.

00:13:11.220 Not a political sense of the term far right.

00:13:14.660 But people are being pissed off, are being frustrated with the current government.

00:13:22.460 Sorry, do carry on.

00:13:23.380 No, no, justifiably so.

00:13:25.420 Well, now, do you remember this article from a couple of years ago now?

00:13:30.260 It was November 2022.

00:13:32.080 I wanted to draw on this because there's connective tissue between how Farage was perceived back then and by who and him running now.

00:13:37.680 So, I think this is a reasoned event that was hosted by Darren Grimes at the time.

00:13:42.120 And he invited a bunch of people, including Steve Baker, who at the time was pro-Brexit and anti-lockdown, has since become a political cuckold who's about to lose his seat, and deservedly so.

00:13:50.900 Daniel Hanan, who was a pro-Brexiteer, free marketeer, the kind that said, global Britain, basically open borders.

00:13:56.660 And Nigel Farage, and the reception Farage got was much more favourable than that for Baker and Hanan, who were essentially booed by the Zoomers that were in the audience for their migration stance and their woolly Thatcherism that's just been microwaved from the grave. 0.87

00:14:10.440 So, like Hitchens, the young men in this room think Britain has been abolished and that the Conservative Party is not Conservative at all.

00:14:15.520 Ambient British culture, whether RuPaul's Drag Race or footballers taking the knee, bristles with personalities and causes that unsettle them.

00:14:21.540 They see wokeness as a virus, infecting every aspect of British culture. That's why they love Nigel. 0.91

00:14:25.440 In 2016, he proves to them that Conservatives, real Conservatives, could beat the left-wing establishment.

00:14:30.100 To whoops, Farage promises a third coming, a return to frontline politics, which we're now seeing, if the state of the nation keeps deteriorating.

00:14:38.820 One better than Jesus.

00:14:40.760 Doubtful.

00:14:41.460 Their love for him cannot be understated.

00:14:43.200 Nigel's big, big fan is the way that they frame their questions to him.

00:14:45.760 Yet Farage, beyond his Brexit boosterism, is so unmistakably 80s.

00:14:49.300 His agenda, where it rises above being a disgruntled mood, is not theirs.

00:14:52.340 A global free-trading power.

00:14:53.980 At least half of the audience is protectionist, restrictionist, anti-globalist.

00:14:57.100 Farage calls on them to be happy warriors, but they're pessimists.

00:14:59.600 Do they want more unreconstructed libertarianism?

00:15:01.740 I doubt it.

00:15:02.380 They are not like Farage.

00:15:03.440 Thatcher's children.

00:15:04.300 They are his children.

00:15:05.220 They like Farage's positions on British identity and borders, but not markets.

00:15:09.280 They hoot their affectionate Farage.

00:15:10.860 Not for what he says about free trade, but for the way he says it.

00:15:13.760 Politics is often vibes.

00:15:15.340 Farage gave them 2016, and that year was their political awakening.

00:15:18.120 They should follow him into the deepest ditch if that was what he asked of them.

00:15:21.260 His insurgent energy is undiminished, his pugnacity undiluted, his rhetoric undaunted in the face of all his enemies.

00:15:27.580 More than any Tory in Parliament, and though they do not agree with everything he says, Farage inspires this generation of conservatives.

00:15:33.780 And that's certainly the case.

00:15:34.820 And that's why his meme game is one of his strongest assets, even if reform, and we've got our gripes with reform's policies around this table, particularly after Richard Tice's de-selection of both or stating reform party policy.

00:15:46.340 Even if reform are not enough, particularly with net zero migration.

00:15:49.440 Farage went on GB News the other night with Camilla Tomini and said 600,000 people a year.

00:15:53.220 No, we need a net outflow, if anything.

00:15:55.660 Even if they're not enough, on vibes alone, he will galvanize a young reactionary base.

00:15:59.780 He's very energetic.

00:16:03.160 That's what is really good about him.

00:16:05.520 And that's what people respond to.

00:16:09.060 Because you just look at the debate yesterday, they were just tired very much.

00:16:14.360 Yeah, well, Farage acts as if he knows he has the mandate of heaven.

00:16:17.100 Yeah.

00:16:17.820 It's true.

00:16:18.420 If you act as if you have an inevitable victory inbound, like Trump did in 2016, we will get tired of winning, then you almost believe you're on hype and everyone else will buy into it.

00:16:27.360 Fake it till you make it.

00:16:28.240 Like, it's not necessarily fake it, because I think he's actually having fun.

00:16:32.500 And that's actually good to watch.

00:16:33.400 Like, again, Nigel's not perfect, but I've enjoyed watching him for the last couple of days.

00:16:39.820 If I can feel encouraged, and I'm miserable, like, it's something.

00:16:43.280 I think it's a tentative win for people on our side of politics.

00:16:47.400 I'm still not convinced by Farage he's going to do a lot more to make me feel like I could at least partially trust him.

00:16:54.180 But it's going in the right direction.

00:16:56.640 And you're right to say that it is creating a momentum within the UK and a movement, you could even say.

00:17:03.680 Well, the people around Farage who want him involved in a post-election opposition coalition are certainly more on our side of the fence.

00:17:10.860 And so the people that are bringing those forces together, I think, will shape it more in our direction as well.

00:17:14.680 So I don't really have any reservations in saying, like, if you're in Clacton, obviously vote for Arge.

00:17:19.640 But if you want to stick it to the One Nation Conservatives, either in your constituency, vote for one of the rare exemptions for zero seats, which I'll be debating with Dr. Parvini later.

00:17:30.280 Or, I hate to say it, and some of my co-hosts will disagree with me here, but if you want to vote reform to up the vote total, just to stick it to them, it's not a bad idea.

00:17:40.880 Truthfully, now that Farage is at the helm.

00:17:43.460 Well, it was either vote reform or spoil my ballot.

00:17:46.280 So it's...

00:17:47.120 It's true.

00:17:48.040 And you can tell that they're genuinely afraid of this, because Daniel Hanan came out today in Conservative Home, which is the sort of brainchild of what the Conservative Party thinks about itself, and is himself saying,

00:17:58.460 Farage is a peddler of fantasy politics and well-adapted to our TikTok age.

00:18:01.940 And it's like, ah, you're bricking it with the fact that you can talk to Zoomers, aren't you? 0.80

00:18:06.320 You're terrified at the exact audience that booed you, which are the conference-going Tory base, which are basically your recruiting force to the next cohort of MPs.

00:18:14.000 They just bloody hate you, but they really like Nigel.

00:18:17.580 And that's good. 0.97

00:18:18.300 I like to see them quaking in their boots.

00:18:19.820 So why do they hate these guys?

00:18:21.400 Okay, well, we've now got this piece in Unheard from the other day.

00:18:26.180 Britain's young right-wing Tories actually want zero seats.

00:18:29.120 So that's good news.

00:18:31.020 Dr. Parvini's meme has caught on.

00:18:32.960 So they interviewed two people in here that are under pseudonyms, Michael and Ben.

00:18:36.360 Michael's a 24-year-old former Conservative Party activist who doesn't plan to vote in the upcoming election.

00:18:41.120 I bet you he votes Nigel now.

00:18:42.400 He told him that Richard Tice's talking points are delivered by a boomer for boomers.

00:18:47.060 It's basically a miniature version of the Tories.

00:18:48.860 All those concerns about digital currencies and woke environmental activists fall flat with us.

00:18:52.500 Because we're not thinking about Greta Thunberg.

00:18:54.000 We care about housing and jobs and what kind of country we're going to live in 30 years from now.

00:18:57.620 Ben, who's in his mid-20s and works in Westminster, suggested that young right-wing Zoomers look elsewhere for political inspiration.

00:19:02.720 A lot of these people grew up watching Peter Hitchens' videos in the mid-2010s.

00:19:05.860 They've adopted his view that the Tory party must be destroyed.

00:19:08.260 His impulse has manifested in the new rallying cry of zero seats.

00:19:10.920 The young British right calling for the Conservatives to be wiped off the electoral map.

00:19:14.720 Have they got his optimism?

00:19:17.760 What?

00:19:18.580 AAs? 0.62

00:19:19.280 No, I'm talking about Peter Hitchens.

00:19:21.220 Oh, well, they're going to go like this.

00:19:23.020 They're going to be looking down their nose at the Conservatives.

00:19:24.920 Well, I think actually Peter Hitchens coming out and saying vote Conservative because Labour will be worse has actually torched his credibility.

00:19:30.420 So there's currently a leadership vacuum for Gen Z to look to for who they should follow in this election.

00:19:36.020 And I think Nigel's hoovering it up.

00:19:37.900 So he's just offered them an opportunity to accelerate the demise of the Tories.

00:19:42.000 The Tories are actually bricking it behind the scenes.

00:19:44.360 There's now rumours of multiple reform defections.

00:19:47.440 I know who some of those people are.

00:19:49.020 If they do defect as planned, the Tories are screwed because they're high profile.

00:19:54.160 Like, we will see. 0.80

00:19:55.820 We will absolutely see.

00:19:57.560 So why?

00:19:58.460 That's a good thing to sort of round up, right?

00:20:00.720 So here's one testimony from Matt Goodwin's substack.

00:20:03.080 Matt has a very good substack.

00:20:04.120 Hopefully we'll chat to him before the election.

00:20:05.620 This is a testimony of one dispossessed Zoomer in Britain, right? 1.00

00:20:09.180 I'm just going to scroll down because it says,

00:20:11.760 I'm writing this at 3 a.m. in the morning and I have less than four hours before I need to get up and start my morning routine for work.

00:20:17.580 But once again, the neighbours who live downstairs below my flat have decided to have another all-night party.

00:20:22.320 Unlike me, they don't have to wake up for work because unlike me, they don't have to work.

00:20:25.880 They qualify for social housing.

00:20:28.020 Their rent is subsidised by the large and rising amount of council tax I am forced to pay for each month

00:20:32.280 on top of the ruinous income taxes, national insurance contributions, and student loan repayments.

00:20:36.280 The majority of the tenants in my housing block are unemployed.

00:20:38.620 I see a few of them leaving the house for work in the morning.

00:20:41.140 My interactions with them are limited to hostile glaring mixed in with the occasional attempted mugging.

00:20:45.780 On the rare occasion I have female company, I have to escort my dates to and from the bus stop to stop being sexually harassed.

00:20:51.540 What scraps of my salary the state allows me to keep are eaten up immediately by rent.

00:20:55.720 I pay almost half my income tax, post-income, to live on an ex-council estate in Zone 3 London,

00:21:02.360 with the smell of weed continually hanging in the air.

00:21:04.420 Unless I achieve an income of more than £200,000, it will simply be impossible to secure a mortgage

00:21:08.740 on a house the same size as the one my parents bought in 1989.

00:21:12.320 If I decide to have children, which you should, which you might think ought to be encouraged

00:21:17.220 given the demographic crisis facing Western nations like Britain,

00:21:19.720 I will have to contend with extortionate childcare costs or deprive my household of a second income.

00:21:24.020 The only feasible route out of this incredibly depressing situation is to leave the city I grew up in

00:21:27.940 and commute two hours both ways from a town I have no local connection to.

00:21:31.980 So my situation, where I have no friends or any family living nearby.

00:21:35.740 Even with cheaper housing, I will still have to send my kids to local schools

00:21:38.680 where they will be bombarded with relentless propaganda about how to change their gender,

00:21:42.280 acknowledge their whiteness and apologise to the British Empire.

00:21:44.500 It is certainly true that my previous generations of young people have faced more challenging circumstances.

00:21:48.940 I am not yet being asked to walk across no man's land and into a sea of barbed wire and machine guns.

00:21:53.540 Let the Tories' election announcements have their way.

00:21:55.440 They're certainly gearing you up for it.

00:21:56.980 But it is one thing being asked to suffer for a cause like liberty in Europe,

00:22:00.080 or to grimace through destitution because of a seemingly uncontrollable event like the Wall Street crash.

00:22:04.800 It is quite another to be economically enslaved to the point of infertility,

00:22:07.800 to sustain a growing population of resentful dependents.

00:22:11.680 The Zoomer has in fact learned to hate.

00:22:13.820 I couldn't have put it better myself, really.

00:22:17.100 I mean, this captures the mood of what it is to be under 30 in Britain.

00:22:22.040 Well, I imagine it's probably under 35, under 40 even.

00:22:25.340 Lots of people are struggling.

00:22:26.420 In many countries, many other countries, including now Germany and the US,

00:22:29.960 have had an actual viable right-wing candidate to rent their energy towards.

00:22:33.520 Finally, Britain has one.

00:22:34.800 And so all of that resentment, justified resentment,

00:22:37.080 towards the importing of net dependents who are swallowing up the housing stock,

00:22:41.460 spitting at you and trying to steal your Rolex,

00:22:43.820 and ruin your business.

00:22:45.260 Yeah, actually that energy's there.

00:22:47.420 Even growing up in Plymouth, where there weren't really any foreign people,

00:22:50.980 at least not that I knew of, there'd be like one or two perhaps,

00:22:55.440 there was still the resentment towards the people that were gaming the welfare system.

00:22:59.880 It's still there.

00:23:01.100 Yeah.

00:23:02.120 So it's just...

00:23:02.740 Well, there was chat culture in the early 2000s, wasn't there?

00:23:04.760 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:23:05.120 Where it was looked on to say, well, you're a scrounger, get off.

00:23:07.520 I think that's also admirable as well.

00:23:09.120 And it isn't just losing a Rolex.

00:23:11.280 It's also very low-income working class people who have children who routinely go to school,

00:23:20.140 and they are being bombarded with a message that somehow you need to atone for what you are.

00:23:25.280 Yes, quite.

00:23:25.740 I was referring mainly to the watch shop incident where the bloke was mobbed by two blokes and

00:23:30.660 took his own life, which is sad.

00:23:31.780 But you're exactly right.

00:23:32.840 It's not even luxury goods they're stealing.

00:23:34.180 They're just bullying you on the grounds of tribal ingrant preference because they have 0.99

00:23:38.680 a contempt for you for being a white Christian Englishman. 0.96

00:23:41.780 That's awful. 0.98

00:23:42.320 You shouldn't import that.

00:23:43.220 But for some reason, our global managers seem obsessed with doing so.

00:23:46.560 There's one man that's saying we shouldn't.

00:23:48.220 Now, he isn't saying we shouldn't to nearly the degree that's necessary,

00:23:50.940 because we have still a net outflow of British people under his regime.

00:23:55.300 But I think if someone's going to listen to more migration restrictions, it's probably Nigel.

00:23:59.260 So just to wrap up on this in the last little bits, I mean, this is another reason behind the resentment.

00:24:03.380 I mean, this is a great article.

00:24:04.640 I won't read much of it, but Sam Ashworth Haynes in The Telegraph, just going through

00:24:07.180 all the data about a boomerocracy.

00:24:09.160 Essentially, the housing costs in 2022 took up 24% of the income of a typical household

00:24:14.780 renting in Britain.

00:24:15.680 In 1980, a 30-year-old could only expect to spend 10% of their income on housing.

00:24:19.640 So it just shows the kind of scale that we're battling here.

00:24:22.700 I mean, the demographic realities of the election mean that because the boomers had far less kids,

00:24:28.900 because they wanted to be free and go work and engage in sexual liberation and the like,

00:24:33.060 it means that demographic realities are just the Tories have to try and bribe the boomers. 0.50

00:24:37.920 And even then, it's not working because they're all hemorrhaging over to reform.

00:24:40.720 And so now you've got essentially the end of the Conservatives, which is that the Conservatives

00:24:44.960 have treated the nation state like a gym membership for a very long time.

00:24:48.920 So it's the Uniparty, and I'm quoting Mary here, which comprises every mainstream

00:24:52.460 political representative of the zombie liberal consensus, views the British nation state

00:24:55.880 as effectively obsolete.

00:24:57.240 It's content-free.

00:24:57.760 It has no culture, no people, nothing to offer than a tourist tat, a flaccid trading

00:25:02.540 zone, and some services that might be achieved on a gym membership basis by just showing

00:25:05.760 up.

00:25:06.260 Are we a nation or not?

00:25:07.360 Aren't we a nation?

00:25:08.420 We aren't a nation when there's any question of preferential treatment based on shared history,

00:25:11.820 heritage, culture, or ancestry.

00:25:13.380 We are, though, when it's a question of coughing up to bankroll whichever set of client group

00:25:16.760 subsidies.

00:25:17.480 This iteration of the Uniparty would like to prioritise boomers or migrants.

00:25:20.760 Perhaps you think I'm being cynical, and perhaps I am, but the point is a serious one.

00:25:23.920 With Sunak's national service proposal a serious policy, designed to be implemented rather than

00:25:28.220 simply fulminated over in the press, it would be crippled from the word go by a profound

00:25:32.500 structural problem.

00:25:33.560 That is, you can't de facto abolish the nation state and then demand all the youth do national

00:25:38.560 service.

00:25:39.420 They're not interested in winning the Zoomers back. 0.99

00:25:41.220 That will be the demise of the Conservatives.

00:25:42.860 They've ultimately alienated them through mass immigration. 1.00

00:25:45.560 They've impoverished them through the pandemic and locked them up and prevented them having

00:25:48.560 relationships and friendships.

00:25:50.300 They have alienated them from their culture through mass migration. 0.93

00:25:53.460 And then they spit in their eye when they say, oh, can we please have some housing?

00:25:56.920 No, no, no, no, no.

00:25:58.000 So this is why when the One Nation Tories turn around and say this, oh, if you notice any

00:26:02.380 of these problems, you're just stoking culture wars, they're not resonating.

00:26:07.360 But Farage, he goes on TikTok and a clip of him joking about melons is seen by 1.6 million

00:26:14.400 users and liked by nearly 200,000.

00:26:17.460 Even Tom Harwood, even Albie from GB News, soft Tory wet party member.

00:26:22.280 Albie is saying he's probably going to vote for Arge.

00:26:24.540 Something is really happening here.

00:26:26.740 And it's a joy to see.

00:26:29.340 Hopefully it all works out.

00:26:33.940 Okay.

00:26:34.500 Now for something completely different.

00:26:36.660 A little bit of a Monty Python there.

00:26:38.140 But South Africa's elections, something has happened, which you might not have expected.

00:26:44.840 The ruling party, the ANC, has formed or is going to form a minority government for the

00:26:52.320 first time since the end of apartheid, which is not something to be understated.

00:26:57.300 It's a very significant thing and is also very important because South Africa is actually

00:27:01.180 playing a lot of important roles in geopolitics.

00:27:04.140 Obviously it's playing an important role via the ICJ in going after Netanyahu and Israel.

00:27:11.480 It was the one that lodged the complaint to them.

00:27:14.420 It's also aligning itself with Russia and BRICS.

00:27:17.640 And so it's a key country to keep an eye on because they're going to be shaping the direction

00:27:22.340 of world politics.

00:27:24.060 And this is obviously very important.

00:27:26.800 Obviously the ANC, the African National Congress, was the party of Nelson Mandela.

00:27:31.380 And although Nelson Mandela was a domestic terrorist and his wife advocated for murdering 0.79

00:27:36.360 white people, for some reason he's venerated. 0.94

00:27:39.480 We've got a statue of him in Parliament Square.

00:27:41.020 We do indeed.

00:27:41.860 We shouldn't.

00:27:42.240 He was a socialist and he believed in violent revolution.

00:27:46.500 I don't think that's something that should be celebrated personally.

00:27:49.180 But they've ruled since 1990 and they got 40.14%, which if we look at past elections,

00:27:59.940 so 2019 it already started going down.

00:28:03.760 You can see the percentage there, I believe, if that is the 2019 one, yes.

00:28:11.720 So that was 57.5%.

00:28:15.600 And then you go back to 2014 and this is 62.15%.

00:28:22.800 And normally, up until 2019, it didn't even drop beneath 62%.

00:28:28.100 That was the low point since Mandela.

00:28:30.780 And in fact, in between the Mandela years and 2019, that was when they're actually getting

00:28:36.340 higher.

00:28:36.740 They're almost getting towards 70% of the votes.

00:28:39.920 And the fact that it's down to 40% now is quite significant.

00:28:44.020 So you go here to 1994.

00:28:47.680 This is, of course, the Nelson Mandela election here.

00:28:50.680 That was 62.65%.

00:28:52.640 And that was the first election following the end of apartheid.

00:28:55.440 So you think it would be the high watermark, right?

00:28:57.800 Question.

00:28:58.240 Is it 62.65% of those who voted or of the voting population?

00:29:04.780 Of those who voted.

00:29:05.720 Of those who voted.

00:29:06.920 That's almost always what the statistics are for voting percentages.

00:29:10.780 Well, you can have statistics that say how many people voted.

00:29:15.020 I think it had about a 60% turnout.

00:29:17.040 So you can sort of figure it out if you want to.

00:29:19.440 But we move on now to the 2024 election.

00:29:23.140 And here we have something that's quite confusing.

00:29:26.200 It's a multi-party system.

00:29:27.740 But I'm only going to talk about the sort of main ones.

00:29:31.220 So obviously, you've got the ANC at the top, headed by Cyril Ramaphosa,

00:29:35.260 who is going to go on to be the premier of South Africa, right?

00:29:41.560 And then you have the Democratic Alliance.

00:29:44.100 And interestingly, they are second here.

00:29:47.520 And there is something about them.

00:29:49.660 This is a party led by a white guy.

00:29:52.560 And I went through and had a look at every other party.

00:29:56.040 And none of them are.

00:29:58.260 Except for that guy.

00:29:59.240 But he's on 1%.

00:30:01.940 Yes.

00:30:02.800 None of the major parties.

00:30:04.020 They're all sort of African nationalist in sort of flavour.

00:30:07.440 Except the Democratic Alliance, which is sort of liberal.

00:30:11.160 It's sort of a broad, casual, liberal party.

00:30:14.460 Sort of left liberal to sort of classical liberal.

00:30:16.440 That sort of thing.

00:30:17.800 And they did okay.

00:30:19.680 They picked up a few seats.

00:30:21.820 But they're probably not going to go into coalition.

00:30:23.780 Because the ANC need to go into coalition with someone.

00:30:26.120 And they're definitely not going to go into coalition with MK.

00:30:30.900 Because that is headed by Jacob Zuma.

00:30:33.860 Who Ramaphosa ousted from the African National Congress.

00:30:37.920 And pursued for corruption charges.

00:30:39.700 And he was imprisoned.

00:30:40.420 Which led to the 2021 riots in South Africa.

00:30:44.600 And so even the party's name comes from the paramilitary wing of the ANC.

00:30:50.900 And in fact, the ANC tried to sue him for using that name.

00:30:54.500 Saying that he wasn't allowed to do it.

00:30:56.900 And so they're not on the best of terms.

00:30:59.240 If they're trying to sue him.

00:31:00.240 And Ramaphosa tried to pursue Zuma.

00:31:04.600 Who was previously president before him.

00:31:07.820 With legal cases.

00:31:10.580 Then I doubt they're going to go into coalition.

00:31:12.680 Which leaves us with the economic freedom fighters. 0.83

00:31:17.100 And these guys are communists and black nationalists. 0.56

00:31:21.000 This is the one headed up by Malema. 0.97

00:31:24.900 Who you guys may have seen. 1.00

00:31:27.580 Basically calling for the death of white people. 1.00

00:31:29.920 He explicitly says that land should be seized from white people. 1.00

00:31:33.700 Without compensation and given to black people. 1.00

00:31:35.840 He's the one that sang kill the boa, kill the farmer at his rally. 1.00

00:31:38.780 Yeah. 0.94

00:31:39.020 And the one that the mainstream media said.

00:31:40.520 Oh, well, there's context for it.

00:31:42.340 No, you know, people are being killed in the farms.

00:31:46.360 We'll be getting on to that.

00:31:47.840 But this is a valid threat.

00:31:50.980 And it seems most likely that the ANC will go into coalition with these guys.

00:31:56.040 And there are already people in the ANC who are sympathetic towards this.

00:31:59.260 Because the ANC are socialists.

00:32:01.340 They're not.

00:32:01.880 I mean, they enshrined in their constitution.

00:32:03.900 Which I'll get on to later.

00:32:05.900 Expropriating land from white farmers without paying them. 0.97

00:32:08.240 So, it seems like there's an overlap here.

00:32:12.640 And although Ramaphosa has been sort of hesitant to go as much in that direction.

00:32:18.300 There's certainly sympathies within his own party to do that.

00:32:21.420 Is he also a communist party calling itself the Economic Freedom Fighters Party?

00:32:26.140 I know, the bitter irony, isn't it?

00:32:27.580 Yeah.

00:32:28.340 We're so in favour of freedom that we want more government control.

00:32:32.460 But let's have a little bit more of a look at some of the parties.

00:32:35.820 So, I have sort of presaged it.

00:32:37.620 I wrote an entire article.

00:32:39.500 I did a lot of research for this.

00:32:41.140 In December of 2021.

00:32:42.520 Breaking down all the riots.

00:32:44.460 So, this breaks down in great detail the rift between Zuma and Ramaphosa.

00:32:49.540 And all the rioting and why it was happening.

00:32:52.760 And it was basically lots of people who supported Zuma going out and rioting.

00:32:57.800 Because he was a political prisoner.

00:32:59.300 And they were targeting things like shopping malls.

00:33:01.720 And burning distribution centres down.

00:33:03.520 Particularly in Durban. 0.61

00:33:04.400 And targeting white people and Indians as well.

00:33:07.620 Why Indians? 1.00

00:33:08.940 Because of the colonial affect about them.

00:33:11.940 So, part of the corruption scandal is that there's three brothers known as the Gupta brothers.

00:33:19.500 Indian brothers.

00:33:21.420 Who were involved in a financial scandal.

00:33:24.280 And Indians are also quite common in South Africa.

00:33:30.140 In that Durban is, I believe, has the largest population of Indians outside of India in a city.

00:33:37.280 And that's also the place which has a major port.

00:33:40.180 And they're basically accusing them, saying, oh, Indians control too much of our country.

00:33:45.460 We don't want this to happen. 0.80

00:33:47.540 It should be Africans doing it. 1.00

00:33:49.240 So, it's a similar thing that they applied to white people.

00:33:52.800 But they're applying it to Indians as well, in effect.

00:33:56.460 So, you've also got Malema here talking about genociding four million whites living in South Africa. 0.63

00:34:04.480 And then Elon Musk, probably the most famous South African in the world, saying,

00:34:08.180 The likely future leader of South Africa calls for genocide of the four million whites who live there.

00:34:12.600 And I'm not entirely certain that he's going to be the future leader of South Africa.

00:34:18.260 I think that's a bit of a stretch.

00:34:20.140 But he may well be in a position of power.

00:34:23.560 Which is kind of scary for white South Africans, I imagine.

00:34:27.080 Question here.

00:34:27.740 If the party that won now did not win by majority vote, they will form a coalition government?

00:34:36.400 Yeah, that's right.

00:34:37.120 So, he could be one of the members of the coalition government.

00:34:42.000 Yeah.

00:34:43.540 Also, you've got DA here, which their main sort of line, which I thought was funny, is,

00:34:49.280 yeah, the Western Cape area is the part of South Africa that actually works.

00:34:54.460 What are the demographics of Western Cape?

00:34:58.880 Coincidentally, it's 16% white, which is the highest percentage in all of South Africa by province.

00:35:05.240 Right.

00:35:06.060 If you point that out, of course, that is racism.

00:35:08.360 So, that is not allowed, but also it is true.

00:35:12.220 So, yes, they're basically saying, we know how to run stuff, so vote for us.

00:35:16.120 And believe it or not, in a country that is struggling to keep the lights on and clean water,

00:35:21.240 that's quite an appealing narrative, right?

00:35:24.460 And you want functioning sewage systems? 1.00

00:35:26.640 That's because you're a racist.

00:35:28.380 Talking of functional systems, South Africa doesn't seem to be one, right, as a country, 0.87

00:35:35.540 because 32.1% of people are unemployed.

00:35:39.620 So, a third of all people in South Africa are unemployed,

00:35:43.180 which is sort of a catastrophe if you're running the economy.

00:35:48.540 It's almost like socialism doesn't work, and nor do people in socialism, apparently.

00:35:53.720 And crime has remained sort of stable, but very high.

00:35:59.200 Awfully high.

00:36:00.000 Yeah.

00:36:00.300 So, 100 is like maximum crime.

00:36:02.800 So, having things in the 70s is probably not great.

00:36:07.460 Aren't they the most economically deprived slash disequilibrated?

00:36:12.280 I can't remember which one it is on the Gini index.

00:36:13.820 They have the highest amount of economic inequality, supposedly.

00:36:18.080 But also, they have the third highest murder rate in the world.

00:36:22.020 So, yeah, that's something to bear in mind.

00:36:24.620 Also, water is becoming increasingly scarce as time goes on,

00:36:29.940 as the colonial infrastructure is breaking down, basically,

00:36:33.540 because they haven't created any more infrastructure since it was run under apartheid.

00:36:38.420 And this is a deliberate choice from the ANC.

00:36:41.900 I'll talk about it in a second when we get to the electricity access,

00:36:46.340 because it's the same story in lots of other industries as well.

00:36:49.260 But even getting clean water is becoming difficult.

00:36:53.280 Oh, I didn't mean to skip that.

00:36:55.260 You can also see just the state of the streets.

00:36:58.140 I hope the audio doesn't play on this.

00:36:59.900 It will do.

00:37:00.240 You have to quickly mute it.

00:37:01.460 Okay.

00:37:01.740 It's just a racket.

00:37:04.980 Sorry.

00:37:05.800 But you can just see that, you know,

00:37:08.220 it looks like a state in lots of city centers. 0.89

00:37:11.580 It looks disgusting. 0.62

00:37:12.600 It looks like the mouth of the Ganges.

00:37:13.960 It looks like there was a festival that no one cleaned anything and just left.

00:37:17.920 It does, except I've seen, I've played a lot of GeoGuessr,

00:37:22.220 and you can always tell when you're in a South African city, 0.92

00:37:25.820 because it looks like a dump. 0.94

00:37:28.220 I'm sorry if you're from South Africa. 0.95

00:37:30.140 It shouldn't be that way.

00:37:31.200 It could be different.

00:37:32.240 So I'm not having a go.

00:37:33.460 I'm just saying, this is what your politicians have done to you.

00:37:36.600 So I'm not looking down my nose.

00:37:38.760 And I live in Swindon, which is basically the same anyway.

00:37:42.020 So I can't judge.

00:37:44.020 I don't live here by choice.

00:37:47.440 Also, there have been rolling blackouts.

00:37:50.920 This is a common problem.

00:37:53.440 This is to such an extent that you can't really run a restaurant

00:37:56.960 because you have a blackout and your food starts to spoil.

00:38:01.520 So things like restaurants, things that rely on having consistent energy,

00:38:06.100 hospitals, for example, consistently, obviously they have backup generators,

00:38:10.600 but they're still interfering in the whole process, right?

00:38:13.740 And so if you don't have electricity, you fail to have a functioning economy.

00:38:19.720 You're actually going to end up going backwards if you don't sort this out.

00:38:23.240 And this is because in the late 90s, it was projected that there would need to be

00:38:27.160 more sort of power stations, more power generated because the population would grow.

00:38:34.440 It was already somewhat insufficient.

00:38:36.380 They needed to carry on growing it.

00:38:37.980 But the ANC refused to build new power stations unless they were built by,

00:38:42.180 and this is a direct quote, black empowered businesses.

00:38:45.580 Where have we heard this before?

00:38:47.040 This is the exact same narrative in the United States.

00:38:49.660 And where will it lead?

00:38:50.580 Oh, right, it will lead to you don't have a functioning economy. 0.78

00:38:54.420 Because what the ANC did was no one, because the cost of energy wasn't high enough

00:38:59.460 to make it profitable for these black empowered businesses to sort of muscle their way 0.98

00:39:04.000 into the industry, they didn't create any more power infrastructure 0.92

00:39:09.680 because it couldn't be owned by black people.

00:39:12.100 I think having energy is more important than who owns it. 0.99

00:39:15.060 But hey, maybe I'm just far right and evil.

00:39:18.100 Yeah, you're not a race communist.

00:39:18.940 I mean, we're about to get the same thing in the UK because Labour are about to pass

00:39:21.960 at the same time a race equality act and make the taxpayer on the hook

00:39:25.400 for a great British energy company, which is only renewable.

00:39:28.760 So not only is it going to cost three trillion quid, have zero abilities,

00:39:31.720 do backup storage and only meet 26% of demand.

00:39:34.000 It's also going to be staffed by diversity hires who probably won't have the prerequisite

00:39:37.880 training to make up mandatory quotas.

00:39:39.720 I mean, if this isn't a lesson in, you know, race socialism, basically.

00:39:46.680 Speed running a failed state.

00:39:47.860 Yeah.

00:39:48.600 It doesn't work.

00:39:49.800 Look at South Africa.

00:39:50.840 They did that since the 1990s.

00:39:53.360 It is in many metrics.

00:39:55.100 It's got worse from the apartheid government some 30 years ago.

00:39:59.020 What does that tell you about what happens?

00:40:02.680 A lot of the world has got better, right?

00:40:04.340 Even though mismanagement has been rife, you know, we don't have a lack of clean water

00:40:09.500 or electricity, although we do have power cuts in the studio sometimes.

00:40:14.140 It's not to that extent here, right?

00:40:16.500 But it will be if we embody these policies.

00:40:20.560 It's also...

00:40:21.080 Socialism.

00:40:22.420 Well, yes, of course.

00:40:23.400 Particularly race socialism. 0.88

00:40:25.120 Also, you have problems with...

00:40:27.840 Oh, here's the electricity access.

00:40:29.600 I'm sorry.

00:40:30.220 I was...

00:40:31.340 Here we go.

00:40:32.640 Oh, look at that.

00:40:33.360 Blimey!

00:40:34.600 89% and then boom, all the way down to zero.

00:40:39.840 Look at it.

00:40:40.640 It's just a dip.

00:40:42.060 And that's because they didn't build the infrastructure. 0.99

00:40:45.060 Because black people couldn't own it. 1.00

00:40:47.500 This is what happens. 0.99

00:40:49.520 This was a choice.

00:40:51.400 South Africa is bad because the ANC made it worse, right?

00:40:56.700 But anyway, talking about things getting worse.

00:40:59.240 This was a story in 2018 that this, I believe, is Ramaphosa here, saying that they wanted to amend the South African constitution to allow, make it legal to expropriate land without compensating them from white people and give it to black people.

00:41:17.500 So the Zimbabwe method. 0.97

00:41:18.820 Yeah.

00:41:19.080 That worked great for them.

00:41:20.780 Well, it hasn't worked very well because white South Africans are 77% of the population, own about 75% of the freehold farmland, which is slightly different.

00:41:31.560 You know, it's a specific category within farmland.

00:41:34.500 And the vast majority of these farms are just small scale family run farming operations, sort of self-sustaining, maybe generating a small surplus.

00:41:42.400 So they're kulakish. 1.00

00:41:43.660 Yes.

00:41:44.080 Only 2,600 farms in all of South Africa are large scale farms that produce food commercially.

00:41:52.260 Black South Africans own 25% of the land, but only produce 10% of the food.

00:41:57.240 And the ANC wants to make that 25%, 30%.

00:42:00.820 So they want an extra 5%.

00:42:02.200 And if they target the commercial farms, there is an actual chance that this is going to destabilize the food supply lines.

00:42:10.420 Of course, the 2021 riots burnt down a lot of the supply lines in places like Durban with all of the distribution centers, as well as the fact that it was disrupted from COVID.

00:42:20.180 This is going to snowball into a massive humanitarian crisis, potentially, if nothing gets done about it, because you're going to be passing, you know, land from large scale commercial things, as well as potentially taking it away from white families and depriving them of their livelihood.

00:42:41.100 And then giving it to people who are less competent at farming, to put it bluntly.

00:42:46.160 I mean, the numbers don't lie, right?

00:42:47.660 It's famines for racial justice is what they're going to achieve there.

00:42:50.700 Yes.

00:42:51.300 And it is an imposing tragedy.

00:42:53.920 And you only need to look at this.

00:42:55.840 So this is a graph from, I forgot what it's called, but it's basically like a sort of classical liberal organization.

00:43:05.180 And they were looking...

00:43:05.780 Green Market Foundation.

00:43:06.480 That's it, yeah.

00:43:07.920 Clues in the name.

00:43:09.140 So this was looking at the number of race laws in South Africa.

00:43:13.020 And you can see pre-apartheid, it sort of peaked in the 80s.

00:43:16.920 And then when it gets towards sort of 90s, it's already started dropping and it sort of bottoms out at about, what, 94, 93, something like that.

00:43:25.740 And then goes up to the point where now, in the modern day, there are more laws on race than there were in apartheid.

00:43:33.020 I mean, you want any more proof that you're self-sabotaging?

00:43:40.140 Here it is.

00:43:41.260 You've become the thing that you supposedly wanted to destroy.

00:43:43.860 In fact, you've become worse and less competent.

00:43:47.540 It was never about equality.

00:43:48.640 It was always about supremacy.

00:43:49.840 Well, it was.

00:43:50.540 And it's also worth mentioning, of course, I'd be much remiss not to mention the phenomenon of the farm murders in South Africa,

00:43:57.640 where white farmers, you know, normally white families live in rural areas where it's a lot easier for people to move in,

00:44:05.580 kill them or beat them up and tie them up and take all their stuff because there's no witnesses around.

00:44:11.580 They're living on a farm in the middle of nowhere, right? 1.00

00:44:13.660 And so the fact that white people are seeing a sort of fair game and there's a politics around expropriating land,

00:44:21.640 well, if you're a black person in South Africa, you might feel valid in taking that redistributive measure yourself rather than relying on politics. 0.89

00:44:32.380 And I think that the politics has stoked this phenomenon of murdering white people to take their stuff in South Africa, 0.97

00:44:39.220 which is horrible, obviously. 0.95

00:44:41.020 I don't even need to say it, really.

00:44:42.940 And the final problem is that of corruption.

00:44:47.900 And South Africa recently got a corruption score of 41.

00:44:52.880 So zero is absolute corruption.

00:44:56.260 Your entire economy is corruption. 0.98

00:44:58.960 You're totally corrupt. 0.97

00:45:00.700 And 100 is no corruption at all. 0.96

00:45:03.240 So a score of 41 is pretty concerning, but there's a lot of corruption.

00:45:07.400 And I think that also doesn't help that funds that are sort of allocated towards developing infrastructure,

00:45:15.040 which should have been done a long time ago, all of a sudden start disappearing and funneling away until people find out,

00:45:21.020 oh, nothing's been done.

00:45:22.520 And this is exactly the problem they face.

00:45:25.080 And if they go into coalition with the EFF, who are communists, is the problem going to get better or worse?

00:45:32.280 Well, it's going to get worse.

00:45:33.100 And the ANC in coalition with the EFF, or another socialist party that is black nationalist, 0.91

00:45:40.960 they are going to sort of starve themselves, make themselves die of thirst, 0.97

00:45:47.360 remove all of the power just out of spite towards the white man. 0.98

00:45:51.260 And this is the future that they have.

00:45:54.880 And it doesn't have to be like this, because next door to South Africa, you have Botswana.

00:46:05.320 Here you are.

00:46:06.540 If you've received an American education, it is here.

00:46:09.880 Botswana is actually used by economists as a sort of example of a country that can succeed with good policy, right?

00:46:22.020 They are capitalistic.

00:46:23.440 They've encouraged investment from abroad.

00:46:26.240 They're landlocked as well.

00:46:27.680 Yeah.

00:46:27.920 So that makes it generally harder.

00:46:29.620 Yeah.

00:46:30.100 And they've also tried to encourage entrepreneurialism.

00:46:33.820 And it's worked very well.

00:46:34.920 In fact, they're one of the per capita wealthiest countries in Africa.

00:46:40.260 At least sub-Saharan Africa anyway. 0.98

00:46:42.360 And they're doing very well.

00:46:43.780 They don't have the same problems as South Africa, even though they started from relatively similar positions.

00:46:50.660 So they don't have the same power outages and water shortages, which just shows that it's a matter of policy.

00:46:57.000 Because South Africa, if anything, started off in a better position than Botswana did, 0.99

00:47:01.440 with the infrastructure left behind from colonial times, as well as the knowledge of how to run a functional society.

00:47:08.800 And it's to the point where they can actually be quite adept at diplomacy.

00:47:14.640 So they're talking about here, this is a sort of light thing to end on.

00:47:18.860 They can threaten sending 20,000 elephants to Germany. 0.99

00:47:22.140 And in fact, we're laughing at this, saying, oh, those silly Germans, they're sticking their nose in where it doesn't belong. 1.00

00:47:27.140 Well, actually, they also threatened to send them here as well, because we wanted to introduce legislation like the Germans, 1.00

00:47:36.000 reducing, well, completely preventing, actually, the import of trophies from trophy hunting.

00:47:41.900 And they're saying, well, elephants run riot over our stuff, you know, our crops.

00:47:48.160 They target children and kill them.

00:47:50.200 It's for the welfare of Africans to keep the elephant numbers down. 0.98

00:47:53.520 They've basically tried to palm them off on whoever will take them.

00:47:57.280 And this is Botswana's problem of we've got too many elephants.

00:48:01.860 Not we don't have enough water and food to look after ourselves and electricity.

00:48:08.060 So they're Hannibal Maxing?

00:48:09.240 They are, yes.

00:48:10.100 Of a population of elephants?

00:48:12.260 Yeah, well, it shows that conservation works, because there was an industry where hunters would pay to shoot them,

00:48:17.680 and it'd be a lot of money that disincentivised the locals from doing it, because they would get a payout.

00:48:22.200 And so they could sustainably keep the population at a level that doesn't interfere with humanity.

00:48:27.020 But what I feel like I've demonstrated here is that the problems in South Africa were preventable,

00:48:31.760 they are political, and they stem from race socialism, from the ANC.

00:48:36.320 And if they go into coalition with the EFF, which seems like the most likely result, it's only going to get worse.

00:48:42.060 Right. Should we move forward?

00:48:46.660 Indeed. Here you are.

00:48:47.760 Thank you very much.

00:48:50.060 So, a scandal has taken place with a German politician that has entered into a bathroom and has taken a video of himself.

00:48:57.580 Don't worry, I'm not that cruel. I'm not going to make this segment.

00:49:02.780 Whenever you mention a bathroom and a politician, Stelios, I start to sweat nervously. What's going to happen here?

00:49:07.920 Yeah, I know some members of the audience know what I'm talking about. That's not going to be my segment.

00:49:13.620 I don't make segments of the sort.

00:49:16.140 Right.

00:49:16.400 You'd never lie to the audience, would you, Stelios?

00:49:20.800 I would absolutely never do such a thing.

00:49:23.620 Right.

00:49:24.100 So, the first and foremost duty of thinkers is the pursuit of truth.

00:49:31.840 That's why I love gossip.

00:49:33.360 And I'm going to share you a lot of the trivial gossip that happened with DEI Barbie meltdown,

00:49:40.220 and some of the things about Ibram X. Kendi, because there was an article about him, and, you know, it's really juicy.

00:49:47.820 Now, Konstantin Kissen hosted a debate that was about the Israel-Palestine conflict, and Brianna Joy Gray was there.

00:49:59.060 And after the debate, there was a sort of internet fighting between Kissen and Brianna Joy, and it's absolutely funny.

00:50:09.520 So, I want to show you some of the bits of it, and some of the funny exchanges.

00:50:14.720 Quick question.

00:50:15.800 Who?

00:50:17.200 Brianna Joy Gray.

00:50:18.360 Who is that?

00:50:19.940 She is a hostess of Bad Faith Podcast.

00:50:24.000 Is that actually the name of it?

00:50:25.440 That's actually the name.

00:50:26.920 Right.

00:50:27.500 When people tell you who they are, believe them.

00:50:29.240 I suppose.

00:50:29.600 So, to give you a kind of idea of the things she was advocating, but also the way she conducted herself on the debate, let us watch this clip.

00:50:42.660 If you have Google.

00:50:44.000 And I'm going to put this to them.

00:50:45.400 I'm going to put this question to them.

00:50:46.760 But what should Israel have done? 0.54

00:50:48.060 That there's a family that's literally living in a house that you might still have keys to, tending olive groves that were your family's line of business if they haven't cut those all down.

00:50:56.980 And so, the people who have had that experience, as you can imagine if you were in their shoes, are never going to let up wanting to have the right to return to their homes.

00:51:05.380 This is not a kind of 2,000 years ago sort of a dream.

00:51:09.720 Are there lots of Pakistanis who want to return to India?

00:51:12.000 In my lifetime, you've purged me from my literal home where I have keys to, and now it's being occupied by someone who maybe immigrated from Europe, maybe immigrated from Brooklyn, and that injustice really hits home.

00:51:23.720 On top of that, you've been denied the right to have any kind of state, a passport, an airport, a country, the kind of things that constitute a country, right?

00:51:31.320 Joe Biden is now spending your tax dollars building a port in Gaza because Gaza isn't allowed to have those kinds of basic infrastructure projects on its own.

00:51:42.000 So, what absolutely needs to be done is for there to be a right of return for the people who were purged out of Israel.

00:51:47.060 So, Brianna, just so I understand, you think that Israel's response to October 7th would have been to build Gaza an airport.

00:51:53.160 Is that right?

00:51:54.480 Is that what you think I just said?

00:51:56.420 Well, I'm just trying to understand.

00:51:57.780 You have some serious listening comprehension issues, Eli, if you think that that's what I just said.

00:52:01.860 No, I'm trying to get it.

00:52:02.980 You just gave a long, eloquent, eloquent, eloquent way.

00:52:04.080 I can slow it down for you and say it again if you're struggling to understand, Eli.

00:52:07.520 I'm not struggling to understand anything, Brianna.

00:52:09.520 I'm asking you, you were asked what Israel should have done, and you gave a long soliloquy about how Gaza doesn't have infrastructure.

00:52:15.500 As the moderator, I do agree with this.

00:52:16.880 Is that what you think Israel should have done in response to October 7th?

00:52:18.680 You haven't answered my question, which is fine.

00:52:20.900 The right of return.

00:52:22.240 I'd like to see her apply that to Britain.

00:52:24.320 I was about to say she's just made the case for the right to be a migration restrictionist because you're an indigenous European and you have an entitlement to your homeland. 0.92

00:52:35.480 But she won't because she just hates white people. 1.00

00:52:37.380 Her argument in the debate, because I watched all of it, was that Israel should become a multicultural state rather than an ethno state. 0.71

00:52:47.280 That's her whole angle in the debate. 0.98

00:52:49.980 But you see the way she conducts herself.

00:52:52.520 So, you know, she makes some points that were a bit long winding.

00:52:56.660 A person from the other side asked her, you know, is that an implication of your point?

00:53:00.920 She was, you could see she was a bit agitated.

00:53:03.740 She was gaslighting and obfuscating. 0.87

00:53:04.840 Yes. So I want to show you something else about this because she said that she made an interesting interpretation of what Hamas is about.

00:53:17.640 Let's watch this.

00:53:19.680 And when Hamas is talking about eliminating Israel, it's talking about not killing all of the Jews.

00:53:25.960 It's about eliminating the idea of a Jewish state, ending a Jewish state, ending an ethno national state and having a state more like what we have in the United States of America. 0.77

00:53:42.660 So Hamas wants liberal pluralism is genuine. 0.81

00:53:45.800 Yeah, she's famous liberals in Hamas. 1.00

00:53:48.460 Also like Dr. Evil laughing in the background there.

00:53:50.620 Yeah. 1.00

00:53:51.480 Yeah, total moron. 1.00

00:53:53.180 She hasn't read the Hamas chart. 1.00

00:53:54.320 That was like the Spider-Man laugh.

00:53:55.900 Yeah.

00:53:57.380 I'll get Israel, Spider-Man. 0.99

00:53:59.220 That's going to get clipped.

00:54:00.900 So that was the interpretation.

00:54:02.740 She made that Hamas is, for some reason, when members of Hamas say that they should eliminate Israel, that what, according to her, they mean that they want to eliminate the ethno state and not introduce a multicultural state.

00:54:20.660 That seems to me to be completely mistaken and a bit unhinged. 0.99

00:54:27.740 It was either stupid or a lie or both. 1.00

00:54:29.360 Well, anyway, so after the debate, there was some bad blood, you could say. 0.99

00:54:35.940 Konstantin Kissen has this tweet where he refers to her as DEI Barbie, and she didn't like that very much.

00:54:44.980 He writes, imagine participating in a debate about Israel and Palestine.

00:54:49.900 Imagine answering literally zero of the questions you were asked.

00:54:53.680 Imagine talking over everyone else and being disrespectful to fellow panelists and the moderator.

00:54:58.220 Imagine storming off stage afterwards, screaming that everyone is racist, telling the moderator, I'm never doing this again, and throwing the microphone at the debate organizer.

00:55:07.080 Imagine then complaining online that your abject failure is the fault of the organizers, moderator, and crowd.

00:55:12.560 Now, I must say, I do think she gave some answers, because she did say that what she stands for is for a multicultural state in Israel.

00:55:22.740 That's her answer into what should be done.

00:55:26.080 But apart from this, what do you think she took issue with from this?

00:55:31.000 I've got two things to say before we get on to that.

00:55:34.020 First of all, an African-American lady blaming everyone but herself for her own failure. 1.00

00:55:43.660 Blaming such a stereotype.

00:55:45.440 Yeah, exactly.

00:55:46.900 She's not really helping her case in that front.

00:55:49.760 And secondly, I'm surprised that Konstantin's trying to position himself as a sort of objective moderator here as well,

00:55:57.260 because doesn't he have a horse in this race as well, not to be sort of pedantic?

00:56:01.580 It's not being pedantic.

00:56:02.740 I mean, he's openly debated on the pro-Israel side on Piers Morgan's show and on his own show.

00:56:07.220 So I do think it's fair to say that he wasn't an impartial moderator.

00:56:11.260 So that is actually quite a valid concern that she could have.

00:56:14.920 Well, one thing, though, is that if you watch the debate, I think he conducted himself as best as possible.

00:56:21.940 And he was very much, he was interrupting both sides and asking both sides tough questions.

00:56:29.440 I haven't seen the interview, so fair enough.

00:56:31.160 Yeah, so it's about an hour.

00:56:32.960 It's a very, very interesting debate.

00:56:34.660 But that said, 100% objectivity is a difficult thing.

00:56:39.020 It's impossible.

00:56:39.820 Yeah, you can't do it.

00:56:40.660 Yeah.

00:56:41.060 So what do you think she took issue with from this?

00:56:47.640 I don't know.

00:56:48.680 That was my best guess.

00:56:49.660 That seemed like a reasonable argument.

00:56:52.880 She says here, truly can't get over a man shrieking DEI Barbie and claiming it had nothing to do with race.

00:56:59.400 We weren't discussing DEI.

00:57:01.000 We weren't discussing my race or women.

00:57:03.060 Just fully DEI Barbie like that's not the most identity politics pill thing to ever happen.

00:57:08.700 You know that Austin Powers scene where he can't not say mole to someone with a prominent mole on his face?

00:57:15.520 It's like that.

00:57:16.740 That's my blackness.

00:57:17.620 That's mean magic right there. 0.80

00:57:18.740 I mentioned Austin Powers.

00:57:19.920 Now she has.

00:57:20.620 She says, truly one of the more racist and unhinged moments.

00:57:25.480 Unsurprising, he's so indifferent to Palestinian life.

00:57:27.700 I knew I recognized her.

00:57:28.900 She was Bernie Sanders' press secretary in 2020.

00:57:32.080 Right.

00:57:33.160 Got it.

00:57:33.860 If you click on here, it says host of bad faith podcast.

00:57:38.880 I don't know.

00:57:39.400 Maybe you see.

00:57:40.700 I find this a bit ironic.

00:57:43.140 Me magic strikes again.

00:57:45.500 Who am I?

00:57:45.840 So here there is a very interesting exchange because she just showed this one here.

00:57:52.080 Only the DEI Barbie is upset.

00:57:54.120 And she is trashing Kissin. 1.00

00:57:57.120 And she says, this is from the neutral moderator of a debate on Israel's genocide in Gaza.

00:58:01.980 You simply cannot argue with racists.

00:58:03.780 On the ab side, they will expose themselves.

00:58:06.140 No one cares about your race, Brianna.

00:58:07.920 This isn't Harvard.

00:58:10.020 And she says, after the words, no one cares about your race.

00:58:14.660 Sir, you literally just call me DEI Barbie. 1.00

00:58:17.880 These Zionists are literally so dumb. 1.00

00:58:19.940 Again, if, and Constantine's a friend, so I'm not disparaging him to say this. 1.00

00:58:24.080 If Constantine Kissin is considered the far right, the Overton window itself is doomed.

00:58:28.960 Also, is there even a racial element to DEI Barbie?

00:58:32.480 It could mean, you know, someone who looks like Barbie.

00:58:35.460 Yes, reverse racism.

00:58:36.860 And also you support DEI.

00:58:39.060 You don't necessarily have to be like, well, you're only here because of DEI,

00:58:41.960 which I imagine is how she's taking it.

00:58:44.360 But that's not possible because Constantine himself selected the debate participants.

00:58:48.520 Constantine doesn't believe in DEI.

00:58:50.000 She believes in DEI.

00:58:51.260 So she's just thick. 1.00

00:58:53.980 So he's saying, note how she removed the substantive criticism of her

00:58:58.820 to make it appear like she is being unfairly attacked.

00:59:01.980 This is after calling me a Zionist liar yesterday for saying something hundreds of people saw with their own eyes.

00:59:07.560 He's talking about the people who were present on the debate.

00:59:10.360 And here he is drawing a circle on some comments of hers.

00:59:17.720 And he describes them as mostly peaceful DEI Barbie.

00:59:23.820 I see why she likes Hamas now. 0.99

00:59:25.980 Yeah.

00:59:26.280 Well, we have here one Jirun and Joya who is trolling DEI Barbie.

00:59:32.540 And she says, that's brilliant on so many levels.

00:59:35.020 Accurate and nuanced.

00:59:36.500 Captures the race debates, the shenanigans at Harvard, the whole misogynoir, microaggressionism,

00:59:42.160 the histrionics, DEI insanity, plus the fact they actually well demand, did demand a diverse Barbie.

00:59:48.820 Well played.

00:59:49.260 I still can't believe that misogynoir is an actual thing.

00:59:52.560 That sounds like something I'd make up to make fun of this sort of thing.

00:59:56.400 I can't believe that her last name is actually Enjoya.

00:59:59.600 Yeah.

01:00:00.400 Average Enjoya meme.

01:00:02.000 That's brilliant.

01:00:02.780 This is all just meme magic.

01:00:04.160 I follow her for many months now.

01:00:06.900 And in the beginning, I thought it was a parody account just for that.

01:00:11.360 For that.

01:00:12.260 God bless her. 1.00

01:00:12.980 For that.

01:00:13.380 But it's not.

01:00:14.680 And she's making really good points.

01:00:16.840 And Josh, I think you would definitely like her because she's a libertarian. 0.88

01:00:20.140 Oh, okay.

01:00:20.780 Few of us left.

01:00:21.660 My belief just went to...

01:00:23.720 Sorry, teasing.

01:00:24.940 Now, we are going to present you stuff from the other side in support of DEI Barbie.

01:00:31.240 I Want to Talk Now says, DEI Barbie is correct.

01:00:34.460 Blackness is a reference to being politically black in the NHJ manner.

01:00:39.740 Nicole Hannah-Jones.

01:00:40.420 What DEI Barbie is saying is, I'm a race activist.

01:00:44.000 I'm an activist for racism.

01:00:45.760 Yeah.

01:00:46.220 And Ida Bay-Wells, there is a difference between being politically black and being racially black.

01:00:51.740 Black. 0.93

01:00:52.420 I'm not defending anyone, but we all know this and should stop pretending that we don't.

01:00:57.660 That is NHJ herself. 0.99

01:01:00.320 And she was the person behind the 1619 project as well, wasn't she?

01:01:03.580 She still hasn't retracted even off the New York Times themselves said, yeah, she made a lot of stuff up.

01:01:07.960 So, what is political blackness in her... 0.96

01:01:13.260 Being a race communist. 0.90

01:01:15.020 Okay.

01:01:16.040 And supporting the policies that make some countries impoverished.

01:01:20.660 Yeah, basically, we want to turn the US into South Africa. 0.60

01:01:26.180 District 9 was a good film.

01:01:27.640 Right.

01:01:28.680 We have here something else from Scott Adams.

01:01:31.700 He has the contrarian view coming.

01:01:33.720 He says, I don't endorse the views or methods of Brianna Joy, but she won the debate in my opinion.

01:01:39.480 She did answer the big question.

01:01:41.060 She said Israel should become multicultural like the US.

01:01:45.100 To be fair, I think that Scott Adams is correct in this one.

01:01:48.700 She did have this answer and she did give an answer, however good it is.

01:01:54.360 And he carries on.

01:01:56.060 I don't endorse that view, but it's a clear answer. 0.99

01:01:58.780 It also clearly means the end of Israel as a Jewish state.

01:02:02.540 Yes, I know Israel has Arab citizens.

01:02:04.620 Can I just pause there?

01:02:06.040 I'm the complete inverse of this woman. 0.86

01:02:07.940 I'm saying like, look, if the Israelis basically want a state for Judaism,

01:02:12.660 I don't support Judaism. 1.00

01:02:14.300 I'm a Catholic and I'm not Jewish and I've never been there.

01:02:16.220 So, I don't really care about it.

01:02:17.700 I just kind of want what Israel has, which is a positive birth rate,

01:02:20.740 a Christian country and high GDP per capita.

01:02:22.580 So, if we can have that rather than this like identity liquidating,

01:02:26.880 unilateral multicultural liberalism, that'd be fantastic.

01:02:30.720 So, you're the opposite of Brianna Joy.

01:02:32.880 Yeah.

01:02:33.240 So, you would not support Bernie Sanders in 2020?

01:02:36.500 Shockingly, no.

01:02:37.620 Oh, I'm so surprised.

01:02:39.600 Right.

01:02:40.540 Okay.

01:02:41.280 And I think that this was hilarious.

01:02:44.320 And by all means, just watch the debate.

01:02:47.000 It's very interesting.

01:02:47.760 But it says a lot when people are resorting to name calling because debates are supposed

01:02:55.580 to be about arguments.

01:02:57.140 They're supposed to be about reason and not feelings.

01:03:00.360 So, when people are routinely appealing to feelings and making a performative mess out

01:03:07.940 of themselves, I don't think that this is particularly productive.

01:03:11.900 And when people are calling you out for that, well, maybe they are correct.

01:03:18.500 Connor, do you want to say something about it?

01:03:20.920 I don't think debates are about reason whatsoever.

01:03:23.780 I don't think the marketplace of ideas usually works for most people.

01:03:26.600 And it's because the other side is never going to be convinced.

01:03:29.180 And normally, the people in the audience don't go to a debate to be convinced.

01:03:32.200 They go to it for catharsis.

01:03:33.720 Like, the best example of this was the recent immigration debate that Constantine participated

01:03:36.760 in with Matt Goodwin.

01:03:37.820 All it was, was to smack around Aaron Bastani and Polly Toynbee to an audience full of Brexiteers

01:03:42.580 that were primed in advance to be opposed to mass migration.

01:03:45.360 It was basically just saying, like, look, we know we're losing our country, but if we

01:03:48.080 win the argument in this room right now, we'll feel better about ourselves for a little

01:03:51.000 while.

01:03:51.340 Most debates are just for morale boosting.

01:03:53.160 I would say there's also another element of just hearing your own position articulated

01:03:57.040 back to you in a way that is more compelling than your own ability.

01:04:01.480 So, you're also against debates in a sense?

01:04:04.040 I'm not against debates.

01:04:05.060 I think they're fun.

01:04:05.840 I enjoy them.

01:04:06.800 I always, I'm up for a debate whenever, anytime, anywhere.

01:04:10.100 They're about vibes more than they're about actual reasoned arguments.

01:04:13.080 That, I think there is no doubt about this.

01:04:15.080 But I think what is particularly good about debates is that it's not about trying to convince

01:04:19.820 the other side because you won't do this, especially in high pressure situations like

01:04:26.060 when thousands of people are watching or thousands of people will watch.

01:04:31.420 So, it's not about convincing the other two people you're talking to, but it's about making

01:04:38.600 the case, making the case about your beliefs and slowly and steadily push for your beliefs

01:04:46.860 to become a bit more widespread, a bit more acceptable if they aren't already.

01:04:53.200 So, it's not about the people you are discussing with, it's about the audience.

01:04:57.240 So, it's a debate between people on a panel, on a stage, but you're not really talking to

01:05:02.060 the people on the stage.

01:05:02.960 You're talking to the audience.

01:05:05.160 And that, I think all good debaters have that in mind.

01:05:07.840 They're having a debate with a person, so they're having a conversation with them, but

01:05:11.540 in their mind, they're thinking of the audience, first and foremost.

01:05:14.640 I think that that's how it's done properly.

01:05:17.100 I do think it's less about argumentation a lot of the time, though, and I'm not saying

01:05:20.920 that's a good thing.

01:05:21.600 I'm just saying this is how it's received, than it is about aesthetics and acting with

01:05:26.020 confidence.

01:05:26.680 The great example of this is when JFK and Nixon had their first presidential debate.

01:05:31.860 Anyone who listened to debate over radio thought that Nixon won on the strengths of

01:05:34.880 his arguments alone.

01:05:35.760 When you take away that visual element, anyone who watched it on television or was basically

01:05:38.900 in the room thought it was JFK just because he was better looking and more charismatic.

01:05:43.020 This is very true, and I think that that's correct.

01:05:46.200 I've heard this.

01:05:47.440 So there was an article in New York Times Magazine that talked about Ibram X.

01:05:52.540 Kendi's downfall.

01:05:53.880 Now, if you're following the online spaces and stuff, you know that Ibram X.

01:06:00.180 Kendi has a diminishing public image.

01:06:04.720 But it's good that the New York Times Magazine article just caught up with it.

01:06:09.380 I don't know, three, four years late?

01:06:12.880 But that's good.

01:06:14.220 We have here Steve Maguire talking about it.

01:06:17.460 How low has Ibram Kendi's stock fallen?

01:06:20.600 Boston University feels comfortable having a spokesperson throw him under the bus in a

01:06:25.200 New York Times Magazine article.

01:06:27.180 And he is highlighting, Boston University provided significant financial and administrative support

01:06:33.400 to Dr. Kendi.

01:06:34.600 And the center, Dr. Kendi, did not always accept the support.

01:06:38.340 As spokesperson wrote, in hindsight and with fuller knowledge of the organizational problems

01:06:44.480 that arose, the university should have done more to insist on additional oversight.

01:06:49.020 So he was an incompetent liability.

01:06:51.160 He had the Center for Anti-Racist Research.

01:06:55.500 And there were millions, tens of millions of money that were poured into it.

01:07:01.020 And there wasn't a particularly exceptional output.

01:07:08.140 It's almost like all signals of institutional racism and all of this sort of reinventing of

01:07:17.040 racism, if you will, it's just about resource extraction, isn't it?

01:07:20.260 It's almost like he was overemphasizing how much he was discriminated against to get more money.

01:07:25.160 Okay, we have yet another part of the text.

01:07:29.320 Several different models were discussed with Dr. Kendi, including bringing many of the projects

01:07:34.540 to completion over the next two years and lessening the impact on staff, he wrote.

01:07:40.560 However, Dr. Kendi's preference was to terminate the ongoing projects and ask the founders to

01:07:46.160 repurpose the fans for his new endeavor.

01:07:48.900 Now, I want to say something here because I have mixed feelings about it.

01:07:53.720 On one level, I think, good for him.

01:07:57.280 He managed to con them, you know, within quotation marks, because he already said what his whole

01:08:06.100 point is about.

01:08:07.300 He started with an axiom and there was literally no research to be done about it.

01:08:12.600 He said any kind of disparity of outcome is to be credited to disparity of opportunity.

01:08:19.520 So, he literally says, wherever there aren't equal outcomes, there's racism.

01:08:25.380 What's to discuss there?

01:08:27.200 This is a sort of moral point.

01:08:29.400 It's a moral axiom.

01:08:30.460 There is no empirical research that would verify this.

01:08:33.560 So, people gave him money for empirical research in order to support a proposition that isn't

01:08:43.380 capable of, isn't susceptible of being grounded by empirical data.

01:08:49.080 It's just a moral axiom, according to him.

01:08:51.220 This reminds me of that case of that girl in Bristol in the UK who set up a fake fundraiser 0.99

01:08:58.400 for Black Lives Matter and she unwittingly diverted funds away to fund tens of thousands of pounds 0.99

01:09:04.580 worth of Ubers for herself.

01:09:06.080 That's 70 grand, wasn't it? 0.98

01:09:07.280 It was ridiculous. 0.58

01:09:08.520 I was just like, where are you going? 0.91

01:09:09.960 Are you going around the country in an Uber?

01:09:12.720 What's going on?

01:09:13.420 But yeah, people like Kendi and like her, you know, they're taking money from people 0.99

01:09:19.320 who would donate it to perhaps more productive sources by their own ends, right?

01:09:24.940 And so, I'm kind of glad that these financial black holes exist because, poor choice of term,

01:09:32.500 because they soak up the money that would have otherwise done more harm.

01:09:40.060 I need to think before I speak, I think.

01:09:42.100 I think I need to think as well.

01:09:45.620 You're right over there.

01:09:46.560 Well, but the point is though that, you know, it's sheer audacity to expect research output

01:09:52.940 if you just give money for research, if you fund research.

01:09:57.160 How dare you expect research output?

01:10:00.460 My goodness.

01:10:01.460 It's almost like that's the entire structure of academia.

01:10:04.740 We have here some tweets by Christopher Rufo talking about this.

01:10:07.960 The Kendi connection.

01:10:09.240 Christina Cross, the Harvard professor, recently accused of plagiarism, was an inaugural faculty

01:10:15.180 member at Ibram Kendi's Center for Anti-Racist Research, which produced almost no work, collapsed

01:10:22.240 into infighting, and had to lay off nearly half of its stuff.

01:10:25.700 That was the research.

01:10:27.360 That was the research.

01:10:28.640 Those were the findings.

01:10:30.300 Yes.

01:10:30.580 Here is the article, and Rufo is saying, the grift is over, Henry.

01:10:39.540 You cushed in on George Floyd.

01:10:41.640 You sold some children's books.

01:10:43.440 But your ideological Ponzi scheme has been exposed.

01:10:46.300 You couldn't define racism.

01:10:47.920 Your research center imploded.

01:10:49.800 And you debunked your own theory in a single tweet.

01:10:52.420 Now, before I show you the tweet that Rufo is talking about, it's really funny to remember

01:10:59.120 the problem with defining racism.

01:11:01.780 He was giving a speech.

01:11:03.320 Everyone knows this, but, you know, let's repeat this.

01:11:06.760 And someone asked him after the speech, you know, can you define racism?

01:11:09.900 And basically, he says it's racist policies informed by racist ideas.

01:11:14.420 So this isn't particularly good as a definition.

01:11:17.380 Did he pull that from the Oxford English Dictionary?

01:11:19.200 I don't think so.

01:11:20.080 I can't wait for Matt Walsh's next documentary, What is a Racist?

01:11:24.840 Well, a racist is a racist, obviously.

01:11:26.300 Normally, when you define a term, and you are giving some sentences that are supposed

01:11:31.920 to explain that term and its meaning, they shouldn't have that term featuring on them.

01:11:39.180 So, Wokoroboros. 0.99

01:11:40.260 Yes.

01:11:42.360 And he is talking about this claim here, which says, more than where Ibram X.

01:11:47.140 As Kendi said, on the 29th of October 2021, more than a third of white students lied about

01:11:56.180 their race on college applications, and about half of these applicants lied about being Native

01:12:01.160 American.

01:12:01.640 The Elizabeth Warren method.

01:12:02.940 More than three-fourths of these students who lied about their race were accepted.

01:12:07.060 I wonder if there's an advantage to not being white implied in this tweet. 0.51

01:12:14.000 Well, if you enjoyed the gossip, I'm very pleased you did.

01:12:19.680 Right.

01:12:20.280 Let's go to the video comments.

01:12:23.860 This woman's voice is just moving. 0.92

01:12:27.220 I promise you, you will cry.

01:12:31.540 Yeah, I've been at a few services, but that does happen.

01:12:55.360 A few over-eager members of the choir try and sing the psalms on a Sunday, and you're

01:12:59.160 like, oh, not quite the right note.

01:13:02.500 Singing's not for everyone, is it?

01:13:04.260 Let's go to the next one.

01:13:07.640 It looks like I have a new customer here for my birth food.

01:13:12.180 That's a chipmunk.

01:13:14.080 Unfortunately, my squirrel friend has not been coming for some time now, but the chipmunk

01:13:19.160 is really cute, too.

01:13:24.300 This is very wholesome.

01:13:25.800 That's delightful.

01:13:26.640 Please keep us updated on this.

01:13:28.200 This is the kind of thing I watch in my spare time.

01:13:30.540 Yeah, so do I dodo videos.

01:13:33.280 I watched animal rehabilitation, where they take in wild animals that have been hurt, and

01:13:38.740 people trying to build gardens to attract wildlife to it.

01:13:42.140 I love that kind of stuff.

01:13:43.220 I have two late-night YouTube binge habits, and it's forged in fire, so knife-making, and

01:13:49.280 then the other one is like dodo videos of some gopher running up to a security camera and

01:13:53.680 obnoxiously eating vegetables in front of the farmer.

01:13:57.440 It's just things like that.

01:13:58.340 Me and my old school friends, if you say, it will kill, it will just spawn a series of

01:14:05.320 quotations that will go on for at least about a minute.

01:14:07.640 You know, there's another side I have.

01:14:09.160 I send you the debaucherous videos.

01:14:11.080 Yeah, the torture.

01:14:11.720 But there are some other people like Daisy that I send wholesome videos like that. 1.00

01:14:17.000 Right.

01:14:17.560 Okay.

01:14:17.920 Thank you for giving this.

01:14:18.380 You can apply if you want to be considered about this. 0.97

01:14:21.020 Selyos' tweets that he sends me, I think about a third of them are naked black women doing 1.00

01:14:26.100 debauched things. 0.99

01:14:28.520 I think the last one you sent me was a naked black woman on top of a car on like a motorway 1.00

01:14:34.680 or a highway.

01:14:36.060 And I was just like, what is even going on?

01:14:37.620 That just can't be safe.

01:14:38.880 Anyway, as for video comments, if you're thinking of submissions, send us more cute animal videos

01:14:43.580 or direct questions.

01:14:44.500 That's lovely.

01:14:45.280 We like those.

01:14:45.860 Let's go to the next one.

01:14:47.480 Hello, beautiful people.

01:14:51.020 What?

01:14:55.740 Thank you, Vardrigo.

01:14:58.320 Is there any context for that?

01:15:00.240 Selyos, you sounded a bit gruff there.

01:15:02.040 You sounded a bit distorted.

01:15:04.920 Well, what can I say?

01:15:07.160 Almost like a guitar.

01:15:08.700 Thank you very much.

01:15:09.900 Should we go to the comments?

01:15:11.180 There are many comments, but also donations.

01:15:14.300 Lovely.

01:15:14.700 I'll go through some.

01:15:15.460 So Henry Ashman on the website.

01:15:16.880 Whilst it's nice that Farage is getting back involved in the political front line,

01:15:20.100 it is still with reform.

01:15:22.160 He's now the leader of the party, but Tice is still involved.

01:15:24.080 And I've not seen Farage address any of the de-selections at the request of Hope Not Hate.

01:15:27.820 I'm not in the Clacton constituency, so I can't vote for Nigel.

01:15:30.220 But I also don't see any reason why I should support my local reform candidate,

01:15:32.780 because until I see otherwise, it's still fundamentally the same reform party.

01:15:35.800 So there's multiple granular levels of this.

01:15:38.040 The local reform candidates, I've met quite a few of them.

01:15:40.080 They are very on-site, and they really don't like what happened to Bo.

01:15:42.160 For example, they were supporting the question leveled at Richard Tice directly

01:15:46.500 about the de-selection of Bo and like, on behalf of Hope Not Hate,

01:15:50.320 at the New Culture Forum's annual conference.

01:15:52.220 So those people are very plugged in, and they're probably watching this,

01:15:54.680 and God bless you, I hope you do quite well.

01:15:58.160 You will not get Farage addressing Hope Not Hate unless someone like us asks him.

01:16:02.520 And there are plans for people that think the same way that we do

01:16:06.920 to ask him about this specifically, and ask for action to be taken

01:16:09.460 specifically about Hope Not Hate, because I can't just keep getting away

01:16:11.880 with smearing sitting politicians and members of the public like this.

01:16:15.160 But you won't see, I don't think, anytime soon,

01:16:18.280 you'll see an apology or a re-selection of Bo and Dan.

01:16:22.120 And I don't think Bo and Dan would want to run again anyway.

01:16:24.020 It is also worth mentioning as well, he was still, you know,

01:16:27.280 the executive or the head.

01:16:28.860 I can't remember the exact title.

01:16:30.180 Honorary president.

01:16:31.100 Yeah, exactly.

01:16:31.820 So he still held formal authority when Tice was doing this.

01:16:35.880 No, he didn't.

01:16:37.020 No?

01:16:37.220 I don't know necessarily how it worked,

01:16:40.260 but I thought that there was at least some sort of back and forth.

01:16:43.780 Not really.

01:16:44.260 I mean, so Tice didn't have final say over everything.

01:16:48.980 Isabel Oakeshott also has a lot of input because she's Tice's partner

01:16:51.480 and has a lot of say about strategy and who they pick as candidates.

01:16:55.020 Like Nigel put, I probably shouldn't say this, but I will.

01:16:58.300 Nigel put forward some candidates that Isabel personally vetoed.

01:17:01.360 And that's Nigel.

01:17:02.200 So he didn't have quite the say that everyone wanted him to.

01:17:06.300 But now that obviously he has increased their electoral chances,

01:17:09.860 leaps and bounds, over Richard as leader and running,

01:17:13.320 Richard stood aside.

01:17:14.060 And I think that is a sensible thing to do.

01:17:15.860 But put it this way, I don't see Nigel Farage doing an apology tour

01:17:19.020 for what happened to Bo.

01:17:20.380 I'm not saying that's good.

01:17:21.360 I'm just saying that's realistic.

01:17:22.920 North FC Zuma.

01:17:24.020 Farage isn't perfect and frankly,

01:17:25.340 reform's treatment of Bo is a disgrace.

01:17:27.000 But I'm going to vote for them just because it's a narrative shift

01:17:28.900 in the right direction.

01:17:30.180 At least, I hope.

01:17:31.900 Brackets, not hate.

01:17:32.860 Very clever.

01:17:33.880 Thread North for $20 on Rumble.

01:17:35.480 Thank you very much.

01:17:36.220 With Farage in charge of reform,

01:17:37.440 hopefully Bo and Dan can be reinstated.

01:17:39.440 They don't want to either, I don't think.

01:17:41.420 I don't want to speak for them.

01:17:42.520 Also, have we gotten over calling Connor Colin

01:17:45.000 or can we still have fun with it?

01:17:46.260 Was that a thing?

01:17:47.540 I haven't been reading the chat.

01:17:48.800 So if you've been having fun.

01:17:49.960 That's just playing off of them getting your name wrong

01:17:52.400 in the mainstream media, wasn't it?

01:17:53.580 Where they called you Colin.

01:17:54.580 Oh yeah, byline. 1.00

01:17:55.180 Yeah, they're a bunch of morons. 1.00

01:17:57.520 All right, Colin. 1.00

01:17:58.560 That's what we say when he comes in.

01:18:00.800 You all right, Colin?

01:18:01.600 Yeah.

01:18:02.300 I tell you, proper West Country.

01:18:04.220 1787.

01:18:05.100 In the US, the traditional Republican Party

01:18:07.700 has been killed by my generation, 33.

01:18:09.540 I'm an isolationist when it comes to international issues

01:18:11.700 and anti-large corporations.

01:18:13.460 Small business are the future.

01:18:16.960 Yes, I don't think you're going to get

01:18:19.500 any properly isolationist Republican politicians

01:18:23.460 for at least another decade.

01:18:25.580 Because even the most America first type ones 0.97

01:18:29.620 in the Freedom Caucus are still very pro-Israel.

01:18:33.460 Also, it's very difficult to maintain your world hegemony

01:18:36.320 whilst being quite isolationist in your politics.

01:18:40.100 It depends what kind of isolationism.

01:18:42.220 There are sort of blends that can work.

01:18:44.140 Soft or hard power, basically.

01:18:45.880 There's a difference between diplomacy

01:18:47.360 versus actively funneling the petrodollar

01:18:49.800 around the world as a reserve currency.

01:18:51.660 If and when the petrodollar collapses,

01:18:53.660 actually that isolationist position will be easier to make

01:18:56.780 just on the grounds of infrastructure alone.

01:18:58.540 And I think that will come in the future.

01:19:00.060 It just won't be for a long time, I'm afraid.

01:19:03.300 DE.

01:19:03.980 I'm an older millennial and can absolutely relate

01:19:06.040 to the Zoomer's concerns.

01:19:07.460 My gym actually has more of a sense of community

01:19:09.160 and belonging than the British nation state at the moment.

01:19:11.040 But that's very true, mainly because if you lift,

01:19:14.660 you're more likely to be right wing.

01:19:15.920 So therefore, you're more likely to be less resentful

01:19:17.900 and pro-social.

01:19:18.900 Do you even lift, bro?

01:19:20.540 That's the question.

01:19:21.520 If you can't answer this, you're not included.

01:19:24.380 When's the lads hour arm wrestle happening?

01:19:26.020 I think everyone in the low seat does weights, right?

01:19:29.540 Yes. 0.98

01:19:30.520 Damn right. 0.97

01:19:31.200 Bit of fighting here and there for most people as well. 0.96

01:19:33.720 Yeah, we even do it in the ring sometimes.

01:19:35.580 No.

01:19:36.420 I've seen the photo.

01:19:38.820 You know the photo I'm referring to.

01:19:40.220 What photo?

01:19:41.580 Okay, maybe...

01:19:42.720 I'll send it to you later.

01:19:44.040 The low to seat is sort of backroom bar brawling.

01:19:49.600 Thanks, Rory.

01:19:50.960 That was a really weird thing to be sent at like a Tuesday night.

01:19:54.640 Justin B.

01:19:55.680 I'm with Josh.

01:19:56.800 Vote reform or spoil my ballot.

01:19:58.300 With Farage replacing Tice,

01:19:59.560 maybe it would be worth voting reform.

01:20:01.320 If Nigel hadn't taken leadership,

01:20:02.860 Tice was doing a lot to convince me to spoil.

01:20:04.420 I think that's how a lot of people feel, frankly.

01:20:06.480 And I think that's why Nigel jumped in the race.

01:20:08.020 I think people were actually telling him on the campaign trail,

01:20:09.700 well, I'm gutted that you aren't running or letting me down.

01:20:12.180 And I think him saying that that's why he got in is sincere.

01:20:15.200 And I think that should be rewarded,

01:20:17.040 even if reform aren't perfect.

01:20:20.600 Josh?

01:20:20.960 Okay, so Henry Ashman says,

01:20:23.640 Not sure what you're on about, Josh.

01:20:25.440 The Durban Street could be anywhere in London,

01:20:27.640 Birmingham, or any major UK city these days.

01:20:30.420 That's very true.

01:20:31.480 I just wanted an opportunity to complain about Swindon.

01:20:35.180 You never miss these opportunities, do you?

01:20:37.340 I don't, yeah.

01:20:38.720 It's a thorn in my side.

01:20:40.260 Cathartic.

01:20:40.720 I grew up in such a lovely part of the world,

01:20:42.520 and now I feel like I've, you know,

01:20:44.860 in the nexus, you know,

01:20:46.220 I'm in a vortex of the seventh circle of hell bit much, actually.

01:20:50.600 I'm so glad I don't live here.

01:20:52.520 Hey, there are parts of London that are probably worse.

01:20:54.600 Not my bit.

01:20:55.780 Wiltshire's lovely, though,

01:20:56.640 so I only need to go out of the city,

01:20:58.780 out of the town,

01:20:59.560 and everywhere is beautiful again,

01:21:01.120 so it's not that bad.

01:21:03.160 Bold Eagle says on Rumble,

01:21:05.280 Glad to see South Africa is living up to the stereotype 0.94

01:21:07.320 of African nations,

01:21:08.460 build nothing and steal from those who are productive

01:21:10.280 and aren't African.

01:21:11.680 Even there is something wrong with their mindset.

01:21:14.220 Well, yes, of course.

01:21:15.860 The way you become successful

01:21:17.600 is you build something of your own, right?

01:21:19.620 You don't rely on other people.

01:21:21.960 Especially if you confiscate a complex system

01:21:25.400 from another group of people with a different culture,

01:21:27.520 and then across generations they can't maintain the system

01:21:29.440 and it starts falling apart.

01:21:30.760 Shock.

01:21:31.120 The lights start going off.

01:21:32.400 Mm-hmm.

01:21:33.100 Yeah.

01:21:34.260 Jamie Wright says,

01:21:35.040 Nice to see you talk about my home country of South Africa. 0.99

01:21:37.720 You poor git. 0.96

01:21:38.620 I wouldn't completely rule out ANCMK. 0.83

01:21:41.680 But if the MK aren't included in the coalition

01:21:44.660 and attempted Zulu secession is possible

01:21:46.740 as MK is now the ruling party of KwaZulu-Natal

01:21:49.400 and the Zulu have a much more independent mindset

01:21:52.700 than other black South Africans.

01:21:54.280 Well, that is true.

01:21:55.660 Obviously, you're probably more attuned

01:21:58.120 to South African politics than I am.

01:22:00.160 But yeah, the Zulu are a power base for Zuma 1.00

01:22:03.800 because he comes from that province.

01:22:06.420 And so they see him as their guy, right?

01:22:08.680 And that's why all of the rioting when he was arrested

01:22:11.700 was largely centred in the Zulu areas of Southeast Africa,

01:22:16.700 sort of near Durban.

01:22:18.480 And that's part of the reason why they disrupted

01:22:20.840 so many distribution centres.

01:22:22.800 But please let me know how I represented your country's politics

01:22:26.980 because we don't cover it enough, I don't think.

01:22:29.300 I'm trying to, you know, branch out.

01:22:31.180 I covered Mexico yesterday, South Africa today.

01:22:35.060 Who knows?

01:22:35.500 So maybe I'll cover Canada or Australia soon.

01:22:37.480 We did joke before we went on air

01:22:39.360 about eventually when our budget expands,

01:22:42.760 thanks to your support,

01:22:43.980 to just not just operating things and bringing guests in,

01:22:47.460 flying you out and doing Englishman reports

01:22:50.480 from the front lines of South Africa

01:22:52.240 or whichever of a failed state.

01:22:54.680 Yeah, but I don't want to go abroad.

01:22:57.320 I kind of like Britain.

01:22:59.020 This sounds like a trap, Josh Dungo. 0.95

01:23:01.880 I'm going to get killed and Conor's going to be there 0.97

01:23:05.320 laughing for the views. 1.00

01:23:07.080 You're like an idiot abroad. 1.00

01:23:08.000 You need to ask the Dungo question. 1.00

01:23:09.940 When is a gift not a gift?

01:23:12.140 When you're sent to South Africa.

01:23:13.880 Yeah, yeah.

01:23:14.360 No.

01:23:15.440 Don't accept.

01:23:16.640 Lord Nerevar says,

01:23:17.800 what do you even do about South Africa now?

01:23:20.520 I mean, it's been backsliding into anarchy for decades now.

01:23:23.640 They're going down the route of continuing slow decline

01:23:25.900 and people are actively dying now.

01:23:27.760 This is the end of empires in the micro scale.

01:23:30.140 You can run it competently.

01:23:32.660 You can turn these things around actually quite quickly

01:23:35.060 with good policy.

01:23:36.360 You know, in a couple of years perhaps,

01:23:38.320 you could have South Africa functioning again 0.53

01:23:40.360 if you approached it correctly

01:23:42.620 with the right policy mindset.

01:23:45.500 That's the kind of way I think it can be fixed.

01:23:49.160 And I think that someone like, was it DA?

01:23:52.200 I think the Democratic Alliance,

01:23:54.560 they sort of have the right mindset of,

01:23:56.700 yes, just don't persecute people 1.00

01:23:59.180 and try and get the economy working, you idiots. 1.00

01:24:01.680 Or if you're a white Christian farmer 1.00

01:24:03.440 and a threat of death, 0.89

01:24:04.900 Hungary is the only country in the world

01:24:06.700 that takes in specifically Christian refugees.

01:24:09.420 So I'd leave if I were you.

01:24:12.360 Yeah, I don't blame people for leaving South Africa.

01:24:14.900 I mean, there's a certain point

01:24:16.620 when something is perhaps too much of a danger

01:24:20.080 to your own personal safety to risk saving.

01:24:22.920 But if you are staying and trying to save it,

01:24:25.440 I commend that and I respect it.

01:24:26.940 So it's obviously your choice.

01:24:29.300 Annie Moss says,

01:24:30.440 thanks Josh for showing the end result of DEI.

01:24:32.400 No power, no water, no restaurants.

01:24:34.580 And restaurants are the reason

01:24:35.680 that we need all of the diversity.

01:24:38.640 Spectacular point.

01:24:39.660 Yeah, good point.

01:24:40.860 Kevin Fox,

01:24:41.500 Zuma wasn't corrupt.

01:24:42.480 Lots of people use public funds

01:24:43.700 to build an Olympic sized swimming pool

01:24:45.280 in their garden

01:24:46.160 on the basis that it is an emergency water tank

01:24:48.360 for the fire brigade.

01:24:49.220 Oh, African politics. 1.00

01:24:53.360 Astute as ever, Kevin.

01:24:55.020 Rue the day.

01:24:56.780 Didn't you hear having food is white supremacy

01:24:59.140 and we must do away with it at once?

01:25:01.220 Were you doing Hamza Yusuf or Jared Taylor there?

01:25:03.480 I couldn't tell.

01:25:05.280 What's the difference these days?

01:25:06.780 White people. 0.69

01:25:08.420 It's like Hank Hill. 0.94

01:25:10.680 Sorry.

01:25:13.040 I'm going to read one more comment

01:25:14.180 and then I'll move to Stelios.

01:25:15.600 Paul Neubayer,

01:25:16.740 I hope I'm pronouncing your name correctly.

01:25:18.820 I'm sorry if not.

01:25:19.740 What's one of success

01:25:20.340 is not just to capitalism

01:25:21.400 but by adopting English common law.

01:25:23.900 I mean that,

01:25:24.920 we've not even continued that anymore.

01:25:26.900 It'd be nice if we did

01:25:27.840 but it is also very important

01:25:29.340 to keeping a civil society,

01:25:31.160 not one that, you know,

01:25:32.720 expropriates land from people.

01:25:34.780 Right.

01:25:35.620 Orange juicer.

01:25:36.840 This is why I don't like Stelios.

01:25:39.340 You haven't given us the reason.

01:25:41.020 Perhaps you would like to give us

01:25:42.440 an extra comment.

01:25:44.660 Like, right.

01:25:45.980 Lord Nereva.

01:25:46.760 It's almost as if race hustlers

01:25:48.780 are fundamentally adult children

01:25:50.760 and not to be taken seriously.

01:25:52.620 It's almost as if we have been

01:25:54.680 saying this for years.

01:25:56.320 What a joke.

01:25:57.600 I absolutely agree with you.

01:25:59.280 It's just...

01:26:00.760 Bald Eagle 1787.

01:26:02.780 Thanks for the donation. 0.76

01:26:03.980 Hamas is a suicide cult. 0.88

01:26:05.540 They know they can't win 1.00

01:26:06.600 and they don't care how many die

01:26:08.080 in the process of their unobtainable goal.

01:26:10.160 The amount of cognitive dissonance

01:26:12.080 happening in her mind is astounding.

01:26:14.480 It is indeed.

01:26:15.100 It's a luxury belief.

01:26:16.240 She knows she'll never suffer

01:26:16.940 the consequences for it. 0.98

01:26:18.700 Arizona desert rat. 0.99

01:26:20.220 Where does this lady come from? 1.00

01:26:22.080 Hamas hates the US.

01:26:23.560 I don't think she implied

01:26:24.880 that Hamas loves the US 0.99

01:26:26.440 as much as that

01:26:27.440 the goal of Hamas, 0.87

01:26:29.900 according to her,

01:26:31.240 is to create

01:26:32.740 a multicultural state

01:26:35.000 and multinational state

01:26:36.720 in Israel.

01:26:38.100 Israel itself is stopping Hamas

01:26:39.720 from having pride parades,

01:26:40.960 is her opinion.

01:26:42.680 Okay.

01:26:43.280 Omar Awad.

01:26:45.260 I'm sure trying to explain

01:26:46.460 why white students

01:26:47.360 applying as POC 0.96

01:26:49.540 destroys his life's work

01:26:50.980 would be as trying

01:26:52.040 an endeavor

01:26:52.880 as explaining per capita.

01:26:54.900 Josh, you are the person

01:26:56.000 who is the per capita explainer.

01:27:00.380 I have been summoned.

01:27:02.200 Exactly.

01:27:03.740 Derek Power.

01:27:04.860 I think that debates work best

01:27:06.500 when it employs

01:27:07.440 classic dialectics

01:27:09.520 rather than the Hegelian.

01:27:10.280 Hegelian.

01:27:11.440 I know you're a big fan

01:27:12.160 of Hegel, Slelios.

01:27:13.520 I have been known to be one.

01:27:15.180 I wouldn't even read Hegel.

01:27:17.320 I wouldn't even read you.

01:27:20.880 Alexander Dake.

01:27:22.040 They always get 0.87

01:27:22.920 some insufferable leftists

01:27:24.320 to take the pro-Palestine side

01:27:25.960 in these debates.

01:27:26.920 They need to grab

01:27:28.000 right-wing anti-Israel people

01:27:29.580 who can actually argue the facts

01:27:31.540 instead of some lefty moting 0.94

01:27:33.160 of Jews equals white 0.99

01:27:35.040 and Palestinians equal brown. 1.00

01:27:37.000 Brown good and white bad. 0.90

01:27:38.600 So Palestine good 0.99

01:27:39.580 and Israel bad.

01:27:41.200 Thomas Howell,

01:27:42.460 all of the problems

01:27:43.300 you mentioned, guys,

01:27:44.220 are all interpretations

01:27:45.580 of the erosion

01:27:46.820 of high-trust society

01:27:48.060 and all of these

01:27:48.920 are still upstream

01:27:49.660 from the real problem.

01:27:51.340 Low-trust,

01:27:51.980 fiat currency manipulation,

01:27:53.480 stealing the wealth

01:27:54.200 you keep post-tax.

01:27:55.280 It's not purely

01:27:55.960 material conditions.

01:27:57.100 It's not.

01:27:58.100 Because the culture itself

01:27:59.560 has to generate

01:28:00.520 a level

01:28:01.420 that keeps

01:28:02.620 the prosperity afloat.

01:28:03.860 So the culture

01:28:04.240 is not just purely

01:28:04.880 downstream

01:28:05.280 of the money supply.

01:28:06.120 That's the inverted

01:28:07.060 way of looking at it.

01:28:07.580 One thing to say about this

01:28:08.720 because I hear this constantly

01:28:10.160 about high-trust society

01:28:11.580 and how people

01:28:12.740 trust institutions.

01:28:14.300 I think that this is

01:28:15.260 in a qualified sense

01:28:17.720 this is a bad thing.

01:28:19.460 People should be

01:28:20.560 skeptical of

01:28:21.360 some institutions

01:28:22.340 like the government.

01:28:23.420 When there is too much

01:28:24.620 deferring to the government

01:28:25.660 and people stop

01:28:26.580 paying attention to it

01:28:28.040 and trust it,

01:28:28.940 you get the world

01:28:29.620 we live in right now.

01:28:30.960 I think it's better

01:28:31.540 to be skeptical,

01:28:32.920 you know,

01:28:33.360 too much on the side

01:28:34.700 of skepticism

01:28:35.320 than to be too trusting

01:28:36.440 because then you'll have

01:28:37.200 your trust abused,

01:28:38.340 right?

01:28:38.680 But of course,

01:28:39.800 skepticism can also

01:28:40.760 lead you down,

01:28:41.540 if you're too skeptical,

01:28:43.020 down its own

01:28:45.080 questionable route.

01:28:46.000 But I think it's

01:28:46.820 less likely.

01:28:47.900 That is why they say

01:28:48.780 trust and verify.

01:28:50.220 I don't think

01:28:51.300 when he says

01:28:51.620 high-trust society

01:28:52.280 he means a trust

01:28:53.180 of institutions

01:28:53.820 and following it.

01:28:54.700 I think he means

01:28:55.300 a sort of like

01:28:55.800 neighborly high-trust society

01:28:57.020 of where you can trust

01:28:57.820 those you live around.

01:28:58.720 So like Japan 0.99

01:28:59.340 is as high-trust society

01:29:00.660 as England used to be,

01:29:01.780 for example.

01:29:02.340 It shows that

01:29:02.840 it's not just

01:29:03.560 an Anglo thing.

01:29:04.160 It is a conscious choice

01:29:05.580 and it's a cultural thing

01:29:06.540 and to erode that

01:29:07.460 high-trust society

01:29:08.060 is actually a product

01:29:09.060 of the institutions

01:29:09.800 inflicting it upon us,

01:29:10.800 you know,

01:29:11.020 an archo tyranny.

01:29:11.740 In this sense,

01:29:12.400 I absolutely agree.

01:29:13.820 Absolutely.

01:29:14.840 And Arizona Desert Rats.

01:29:16.300 So here's my question.

01:29:17.680 What gives the US

01:29:18.440 the right to impose

01:29:19.540 its own culture

01:29:20.420 on another country?

01:29:22.120 That's a question

01:29:22.880 that you should ask

01:29:24.060 people from the

01:29:25.360 US government.

01:29:27.380 The conceit of liberalism.

01:29:28.420 Right.

01:29:28.660 And I think we have

01:29:29.760 an extra minute

01:29:30.580 and Conor,

01:29:31.060 I want to ask you

01:29:31.700 something if you would like.

01:29:33.820 Okay.

01:29:34.020 So what would you say

01:29:35.220 to some people

01:29:36.200 who say,

01:29:36.880 who talk about

01:29:37.580 control the position?

01:29:39.500 In what sense?

01:29:41.520 Some of the

01:29:42.600 real hardcore pessimists

01:29:44.760 who say that,

01:29:45.420 you know,

01:29:45.880 Farage coming back

01:29:46.940 is basically

01:29:48.080 control the position

01:29:49.260 and all this

01:29:50.600 is staged.

01:29:52.680 No,

01:29:53.420 because I don't think

01:29:54.180 there's,

01:29:54.620 they've planned things

01:29:55.920 out for that long

01:29:56.820 and I don't,

01:29:58.000 I don't think Farage

01:29:58.960 is a containment man.

01:29:59.820 I think reform policy

01:30:01.200 can inadvertently

01:30:01.900 act as containment

01:30:02.640 because it set

01:30:03.320 the new migration

01:30:04.120 restriction as standard

01:30:05.140 at five to six

01:30:06.120 hundred thousand

01:30:06.520 people a year,

01:30:07.240 which is insanely high.

01:30:08.280 That's like an

01:30:08.620 invading army level.

01:30:09.900 So no,

01:30:10.600 but I think

01:30:11.200 the zoomers 1.00

01:30:12.040 surrounding Farage

01:30:12.900 are our guys

01:30:13.920 and so they're more

01:30:14.840 likely to influence

01:30:15.840 the reform campaign

01:30:16.760 and the post-election

01:30:18.200 coalition

01:30:19.920 to be

01:30:21.020 something akin

01:30:23.220 to what we would want.

01:30:24.060 Again,

01:30:24.220 like,

01:30:25.260 I'm not going to

01:30:26.080 leak sources.

01:30:26.720 I've had conversations

01:30:27.400 with these people.

01:30:28.200 Okay.

01:30:28.400 It doesn't mean

01:30:29.440 all the politicians

01:30:29.940 are great.

01:30:30.720 It means the people

01:30:31.200 trying to shape

01:30:31.900 what the politicians

01:30:32.580 fit themselves into

01:30:33.840 are certainly with us.

01:30:35.800 We know that at least

01:30:36.580 a number of reform

01:30:38.320 candidates watch our show

01:30:39.700 as well.

01:30:40.220 So do conservatives.

01:30:41.200 Yeah.

01:30:41.640 So there we go.

01:30:43.100 Okay.

01:30:43.600 So I hope you enjoyed this

01:30:45.360 and goodbye.

01:30:47.680 See you tomorrow.

01:30:48.380 Bye.

01:30:48.560 I saw this

01:30:53.000 I saw this

01:30:54.000 from the chat

01:30:54.600 and thought it was

01:30:55.140 a good question.

01:30:55.560 Oh yeah,

01:30:55.840 no worries.

01:30:56.200 Yeah,

01:30:56.300 yeah,

01:30:56.400 yeah.

01:30:59.240 That was a really

01:31:00.060 solid podcast,
