The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters #934

00:00:00.000 Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for today the 11th of June 2024. I'm

00:00:13.500 your host Conor joined by Carl and Beau and we will be discussing how Europe Zoomers finally

00:00:17.980 have their champion Hunter Biden on trial and will or not Trump's conviction actually

00:00:23.120 matters for the 2024 election. Before we jump into any of these segments we do want to alert

00:00:28.880 you to the fact that the first edition of our Islander magazine which Rory has worked oh so

00:00:33.380 hard on has some fantastic contributions only has a week left. Am I right? I believe so yeah. Yep so

00:00:38.120 probably goes to print. Get in pre-order your copies I don't believe we will be reprinting this first

00:00:42.680 edition so you can own a timeless piece of Lotus Eaters culture from our humble little isle here

00:00:47.640 but without further ado let's jump into today's stories. Well the EU election happened and it

00:00:53.720 seems to have been a win for what the mainstream media are lamenting as being the far right. Now

00:00:58.780 any time far right is used in this segment it just means patriotic populists who don't want to see

00:01:04.280 their country swamped with unlimited hordes of third world dependents. Normal. It is normal. Yes. That's 1.00

00:01:10.640 what it means. Yes. That's a normal opinion. Anyone post-war politics basically that says far right is a

00:01:16.280 dog whistle for the 1930s Germans even in the countries that fought them so it doesn't make any

00:01:21.680 sense and we are very happy because they aren't the 1930s Germans to celebrate these patriotic populists

00:01:26.980 riding into a degree of victory and how did they secure that victory? Well it turns out

00:01:31.100 that young male zoomers who have been subjected to joblessness and homelessness and a rapid 0.88

00:01:37.460 deracination from their host culture and having no inheritance and sense of belonging went yeah we're

00:01:42.800 not we're not so keen on on mass migration actually we're going to break for the likes of 1.00

00:01:46.260 the AFD or Marine Le Pen or the Swedish Democrats and so it seems that the zoomers are finally getting 1.00

00:01:51.700 their avatars of populist patriotism on the European continent maybe maybe in the UK. So just to go over

00:01:57.520 some of the details I know Stelios mentioned some of this yesterday but I'll give a give a bit of a

00:02:01.100 brief. So the European People's Party now have 184 of the 720 seats in the European Parliament and the

00:02:07.300 two right-wing groups the sort of self-styled centre-right in the EU Parliament the European

00:02:13.560 Conservatives and Reformists that's the ECR and the populist patriots the Identity and Democracy

00:02:18.360 Group they control 131 total seats in in the chamber the members of the Renew Group so that's

00:02:23.280 the sort of Blairites within the EU they lost 23 seats McLuhan lost heavily in France we'll get the

00:02:30.580 maps up shortly and obviously others in Spain Denmark Romania and Estonia I think the Greens lost about

00:02:35.360 20 odd seats as well which was a real repudiation because they were the the main voting bloc in the

00:02:40.180 last five years and in combination with their open doors migration policy and their European Green

00:02:45.020 deal especially after the energy crisis caused by Ukraine and Germany's heavy reliance on Russian

00:02:49.940 gas it's meant that high energy bills and high house prices and cultural desolation hasn't made

00:02:56.180 them all too popular not excellent is it France's national rally took nearly a third of the votes

00:03:01.500 and this now prompted Macron to call a snap election those votes will take place if you're in France

00:03:06.760 what are you doing watching us we're English on the 30th of June and the 7th of July and that

00:03:11.080 doesn't mean that Macron himself will go because he's still president till 2027 it means that the

00:03:16.140 National Assembly and the Prime Minister will probably be swapped out for Le Pen's sort of

00:03:23.340 second in command and we'll get on to him shortly the reason that Macron is likely to lose is because

00:03:28.240 the socialists the Greens and Les Republicans have all rejected Macron's offer of coalition so he has

00:03:32.920 absolutely no allies and after the Gilets Jean protests and the I don't know if it was

00:03:38.580 unconstitutional but certainly autocratic passing of the pensions bill and increasing your retirement

00:03:44.240 age the mass riots we saw from Algerians and all sorts of other fake asylum seekers after that 1.00

00:03:49.920 teenager was shot for trying to ram cops with a police car the burning down of Notre Dame which did

00:03:56.160 they actually end up prosecuting the the guy because you you wrote an article on this a little while

00:04:00.020 ago didn't you yeah lots of other churches were also incinerated all of those things in combination

00:04:04.000 have made Macron understandably unpopular I think Le Pen responded to the snap election announcement

00:04:10.400 she said we're ready to put the country back on its feet we're ready to defend the interests of the

00:04:13.520 French people we're ready to put an end to mass immigration which helps explain why she's so 1.00

00:04:18.000 popular also Georgia Maloney who herself has been a massive disappointment her Brothers of Italy party

00:04:24.340 got more than a quarter of the vote and then obviously in Belgium as was mentioned yesterday Prime

00:04:28.960 Minister Alexander de Creu who shockingly if I remember correctly stood up for NatCon when

00:04:35.180 Brussels local police cracked down on it so even he saw sense at that point but that didn't spare him

00:04:41.220 from a massive electoral wipeout because his Flemish Liberals and Democrats party that's open VLD

00:04:45.400 fell from 17.85 in 2019 to less than 7% of the vote the populist Vlaams Belang and the New Flemish

00:04:52.480 Alliance secured 17.5 and 22% of the vote respectively and add to that like upon this count of all the

00:04:57.920 seat Germany's 15 lawmakers 10 representatives of Hungarian Viktor Orban's Fidesz party

00:05:04.140 six to Poland's Confederation party three member of Bulgaria's Revival party you've just got loads

00:05:11.300 of populist right-wing victories stacking on top of each other and that means that Ursula von der Leyen's

00:05:15.400 seat because last time she was voted in she was only voted in with a majority of one as the only

00:05:19.960 candidate who run is looking pretty in question for the first time and that's good for everyone

00:05:24.280 yeah it's interesting I tweeted AC Grayling about this yesterday do we still want to join the EU if

00:05:29.560 it's going really far right he didn't respond well this was Harrison's position on the podcast a couple

00:05:34.040 of times ago where he said ironically we need to be doing better yeah even though we all agree with

00:05:39.060 the principles of British constitutional sovereignty those powers then handed over to Boris Johnson

00:05:42.800 Michael Gove David Cameron ironically and we got limitless numbers of men apt migrants whereas now 1.00

00:05:50.680 they're getting their their populist patriots and they might actually deal with the migration problem

00:05:54.780 your jacket colors thank you for thank you for the Lotus Eaters wardrobe department for fixing that

00:06:02.520 cheers mum voice of god in my ear but um but no it wasn't inevitable that we got betrayed

00:06:07.880 after Brexit for some reason they just decided to do it be funny to quiz someone who's sort of a

00:06:13.540 staunch sort of implacable pro-EU person someone like uh Sir John Major Femi oh yeah someone like

00:06:20.860 saying so do you still want you should yeah it's an interesting question would you still want to be

00:06:25.200 part of the EU if the EU was full-blown sort of AFD or harder even more harder right than that

00:06:32.280 would you still want to be ruled by that I'll do my annual chat with Steve Ray at Conservative Party

00:06:37.540 conference yeah well how do you think the EU's going at the moment Steve yeah you still you're

00:06:41.420 still particularly pro I think it's nice to see though just in general um because there's this

00:06:46.340 idea you know that the doomers and the pessimists um always say I see people say like um there's never

00:06:54.260 been such a thing as democracy uh you can't vote your way out of this vote harder lol um it's always

00:07:00.600 been a sham it's like no no it hasn't and it isn't necessarily no we're in a bad place and it's been

00:07:06.840 heavily heavily manipulated against us for decades but it is possible to vote your way out of this

00:07:13.440 it is it's the only option we've got anyways it's that both of those things are true I don't think

00:07:18.020 it's necessarily possible to vote your way out of it entirely because of course you need mass clear

00:07:22.160 out some people with the gumption and will to do so I mean for Georgia Maloney for example massive

00:07:26.260 disappointment and has betrayed her mandate same with Boris they can just lie to get in

00:07:30.060 but also what other choice do we have right now we will paramilitaries but let's not go there

00:07:34.720 well no that's not that's not a choice for legal reasons that's not a choice no I wasn't condoning

00:07:38.840 I'm just saying um so uh but yeah not at all have to end up like Maloney like um who's the guy in

00:07:45.480 is it El Salvador Bukele yeah you could get you could get the real deal you could get a Victor

00:07:50.040 Orban but that's that's the thing like it is possible it is possible it is possible we just have

00:07:54.620 to have someone who's not a part of the uni party and that is a difficult thing to find but it's

00:07:59.900 possible and uh you know we're I think we're heading in the right direction generally yes so

00:08:03.880 we're not sure to anything PTH says look at the Bukele yeah right yeah look at the Bukele guy or

00:08:08.660 Victor Orban or um yeah it's difficult to gatekeep to make sure you don't get a Maloney but 1.00

00:08:15.920 I mean that's the whole that will probably be the whole struggle for the next 20 years or whatever

00:08:22.660 I would think yeah in Britain or not just Britain all over the world yeah um that our politics the

00:08:27.480 Overton window shifts to the right or the central right and then there's an endless battle to

00:08:31.900 defeat the the fake containment types I mean what one great thing about the EU going right wing

00:08:39.120 is that so much of our elite class just take their marching orders from whatever's happening on the

00:08:43.480 continent they look over and go oh look they're so much more enlightened than us look what they're

00:08:46.860 doing okay well now what are they doing how much more enlightened are they now oh very okay well let's

00:08:51.940 follow that lead if we have to anyway yeah well we know that this is a good thing for us because we 0.68

00:08:58.060 can see who's crying about it so Dawn Butler notorious I think it's fair to say she's a liar at this point 1.00

00:09:03.740 because she did say that she got a written letter of endorsement from Obama and that turned out to be

00:09:07.820 untrue and then she said she was profiled by the police for driving while black but she also wasn't

00:09:12.840 driving yeah so she just keeps making things up it turns out calling a politician a liar isn't really a

00:09:17.880 very substantive charge okay race grifter fine um so she said we were all warned about the rise of

00:09:23.580 the far-right and incels in all capitals incels did you not know the incel party has swept to fame

00:09:29.740 in Bulgaria what is she talking about well to be fair what we'll get on to that in a moment okay the

00:09:37.800 attack on woke feeds into this dangerous rhetoric bear in mind Nigel Thorage has just had more things

00:09:43.140 thrown at him on the campaign trail today so as you rightly pointed out they're happy to engage in 0.58

00:09:47.340 stochastic terrorism but us saying oh we might not want gay race communism thank you very much 0.99

00:09:52.300 is akin to a death threat somehow the surge in support for the far-right across Europe is a warning

00:09:56.360 for us all for Arjun reform some Tories should be nowhere near power yeah you know what if Dawn

00:10:01.920 Butler's saying that I agree with her this is a warning to you I think she should be nowhere near

00:10:05.720 Twitter given yeah it's not like she has a character limit because she's an official account

00:10:09.440 and yet somehow still manages to bastardize the grammar but there you go the thing is if she wasn't

00:10:14.400 saying things like that I'd be like okay we're going in the wrong direction guys if Dawn Butler

00:10:17.740 was like oh I'm not really that bothered actually it's uh it's okay things are going all right

00:10:21.660 actually it's not a big deal I'd be like okay guys we need to do something seriously different

00:10:25.640 yeah that's what we're doing if she's not saying this we're not winning if you don't have a hope

00:10:29.580 not hate hit piece at this point you're not on site quite so let's look at what happened in

00:10:33.560 Germany let's see if her claim has any legs basically the zoomers delivered the AFD a victory 1.00

00:10:38.420 because they've been seeing German incels rise up well actually hey look I'm on side of the German

00:10:45.200 incels yeah vote for us and we're gonna get you wives well so that's my party pledge it's actually 1.00

00:10:51.760 the party pledge of Maximilian Kraft I'm not joking look right I'm just saying it's a vote winner

00:10:58.860 so he he said um one in three young men in Germany yeah uh has never had a girlfriend yeah are you one

00:11:05.580 of them vote for us don't watch porn don't vote green go outside into the fresh air be confident

00:11:11.140 and above all don't believe you need to be nice and soft real men stand on the far right real men

00:11:15.420 are patriots that's the way to find a girlfriend this is my guy and this is this is this is why

00:11:21.400 they got 16.5 percent of the vote overall I didn't get a wife because I'm nice I mean point actual point

00:11:27.780 on the incel thing though like there is a certain point where being involuntarily celibate becomes

00:11:32.140 voluntarily celibate because the moment you adopt the incel identity you codify your own inability

00:11:37.020 to get anywhere in your own mind so reject the label and then as this man eloquently says join

00:11:42.340 the quote-unquote far right and you probably will just get married it's quite nice you know

00:11:45.580 women love the far right that is not even joking not even joking yes I mean look at all of the 0.60

00:11:51.280 women that Farage has been posing with recently just organically attracted to him there you go

00:11:55.300 so in the last EU election 2019 one in three among 16 to 24 year olds voted for the Green Party

00:12:01.120 and the AFD only got five percent of the youth vote the AFD was skeptical about Germany lowering the

00:12:06.360 voting age to 16 for the EU election in 2018 it took the matter to the court in the state of

00:12:11.320 Thuringia I can't pronounce that Thuringia and now 16 percent of them have voted for the AFD tripling

00:12:17.060 its vote share in the demographic and putting it almost on par with the Christian Democratic Union

00:12:21.680 and Christian Social Union alliance so it seems that this message has actually resonated because

00:12:26.920 those 16 to 24 year olds not having to get a house and facing bad job prospects and

00:12:32.200 particularly the young women being a target of migrant crime think anyone who's promising to deport

00:12:38.320 criminal legal foreigners I'm probably probably on board with that it turns out that the left have 1.00

00:12:42.420 kind of stepped on a ray kick so anyone can radicalize a young person because they don't know what

00:12:47.080 they don't know anything about the world and so it's like okay well you know just

00:12:51.320 promise them something well also the right are better at memes yeah and so if tiktok just becomes

00:12:57.220 a vector of meme dissemination turns out that right-wing politicians are much better than the

00:13:01.760 left-wing ones on tiktok because they're more organic and just sort of funnier yeah and they

00:13:05.440 tap into the fact that people notice trends if they just open their eyes and believe those instead

00:13:10.080 of ideology and when they notice that their entire civilization is crumbling around them and think

00:13:14.300 it might have something to do with the consensus party policy that's been in power for the last 30

00:13:18.700 odd years since before they were born they might want to change that a little bit um speaking of

00:13:23.160 the incels in sweden they were they were celebrating their victory um pretty swedish incel young women at

00:13:29.100 the front there they were they were celebrating with a certain oh really famous song on the news

00:13:34.060 don't know why the audio isn't playing for us but yes it's a it's a club club classic that the germans

00:13:42.080 have also been singing along to isn't that banned in germany i don't think it's banned in germany

00:13:46.980 though people who were dancing along to it are being prosecuted right i think that's more to do

00:13:51.280 with the fact that they sort of had a few drinks and did a prince harry and uh imitated a certain

00:13:56.140 austrian painter which is not not very wise don't don't do that very silly uh so speaking of the

00:14:01.160 waffen uh the zoom of often actually have their champion and it can be found in france and i just

00:14:05.420 want to look at the electoral map for france because oh dear see that's my point about you

00:14:11.120 can't vote your way out of things well eventually until we do yeah until you do right it depends if

00:14:16.800 they keep their promises like nick griffin saying it's all over it's no there's no point trying to

00:14:21.160 do anything in the electoral sense anymore they'll never let you do he's a cuckold for radical islam 1.00

00:14:28.900 if there's enough yeah oh yeah it's actually cringe if there's enough um if there's enough

00:14:34.240 popular support for an idea uh it's difficult to annihilate the truth yeah or what people really

00:14:42.680 feel and think you can't oh wait you can't even starling couldn't suppress it ultimately in the end

00:14:48.600 forever you just can't you do need to get around the various bureaucracies and gatekeepers like in

00:14:54.640 whitehall for example so this is the i think when people say voting doesn't fix it what

00:14:58.680 what they're trying to hammer home is voting is not enough to have the politicians either keep

00:15:02.760 their promises or enact the policies that they need to get into power yeah i get that again until

00:15:06.700 they do though until you get a trunch that are perpetuated they have got balls that will clear 0.77

00:15:11.400 out whitehall we'll just create another department and circumvent the home office eventually i think

00:15:19.080 we'll get there it's not impossible all right so for for our video listeners the the brown section

00:15:24.300 which might be might be hard to spot among all of the other victories like the social democrats

00:15:28.580 and the like is identity and democracy as they're known in france it's basically

00:15:31.540 marine le pen's national rally party national rally won 31.5 percent of the vote double that of macron

00:15:37.980 and the only seats macron got it turns out were basically in paris yeah not not not great it's

00:15:46.060 brutal that's sort of richard nixon victory isn't it yeah you'd think that's a green party map in the

00:15:51.100 uk yeah basically that's that's pretty embarrassing so zero seat seems to be an international project at

00:15:56.840 this point so as i said macron's dissolved the national assembly called a snap election so

00:16:01.080 marine le pen's second in command or rather the leader of the party because she's appointed him

00:16:05.960 in that position could be prime minister by july so who might replace gabriel atal as prime minister

00:16:12.040 if this election goes much the same way as the one that you've seen on screen now well here's jordan

00:16:17.060 badella uh he's a very interesting chap because he seems to be an avatar of the sort of radicalized

00:16:22.400 zoomer and he's good fun so he's born to an italian family in saint saint denis very much

00:16:30.080 surrounded by the sort of enriching diversity right every city has has been brought up on he's also the

00:16:36.060 product of broken home because his mom and his dad split up when he was one so these sort of boomer

00:16:41.860 lib attitudes around relationships and anti-family policies have affected him deeply so he's got a

00:16:47.380 background in this stuff he's 28 at the moment he joined the party when he was 16 became vice

00:16:52.200 president in 2019 age 23 and has been president of the national rally since 2022 so he's the second

00:16:58.000 youngest mep in eu history he also didn't spend much time at university he went to the sorbonne

00:17:03.080 study geography i believe but he just dropped out because he kept arguing with left-wing intellectuals

00:17:07.620 and thought it wasn't worth his time and anytime he's in a debate with one of macron's technocrats he's

00:17:12.980 much sharper than them so his policies include uh french first prioritizing for jobs welfare and housing

00:17:19.780 oh yeah which would be great i i would say french french only specifically for social housing and

00:17:24.940 things like that yes over in the uk reminder 72 percent of somalis in this country are on social

00:17:29.440 housing i'm so glad i have to pay for those he's a bit softer on russia as are the whole party because

00:17:34.340 i believe there's some russians that have financed marine le pen's campaign right again ukraine's

00:17:39.680 horribly corrupt russia's horribly corrupt i'm not going to lambast either of them and if someone's 0.96

00:17:44.880 going to try and negotiate from within the eu for a peace deal at this point it's probably better than

00:17:48.440 the ground war with nato so there you go of course reducing immigration opposing islam but from a 0.80

00:17:53.220 sort of republican secular perspective french is a very cringe liberal perspective but okay fair enough

00:17:58.940 a french perspective the only other perspective they've got is a sort of jewish catholic alliance

00:18:03.940 from eric zemmour's reconquest party but they aren't very prominent in the polls one criticism i do

00:18:10.580 over bardella is that he has dismissed all of zemmour's voters as irrelevant and i don't think

00:18:16.840 that's true in the slightest i think zemmour's got about eight percent of the vote if i remember

00:18:20.800 correctly insignificant yeah quite and also these are all people that are your allies and could well

00:18:26.060 be one over to your side the only thing that's different between zemmour and le pen is a protectionist

00:18:30.840 policy as well because these guys are are they're not thatcherites on the markets are they no they're

00:18:36.920 they're the complete opposite they're very state subsidy redistribution repatriating manufacturing

00:18:42.120 welfare spending whereas zemmour is very thatcherite very much so zemmour said he wants to win over the

00:18:47.980 anywhere people therefore he thinks thatcherism plus anti-islam will be victorious doesn't seem

00:18:53.300 that's the case in france as of yet and they're also quite pro israel and the reason is france's

00:18:57.920 jewish population they've always had a very large jewish population last few hundred years

00:19:01.180 it's gone down from i believe 700 000 to 400 000 in the last 10 years or so because of the mass

00:19:07.760 influx of muslim immigration it turns out correlates with the algerians coming in doesn't it yeah yeah 0.81

00:19:13.300 the massive rise in attacks on holocaust survivors and and jewish neighborhoods being firebombed turns

00:19:18.880 out it might have something to do with the diversity but the most important point is not his policies

00:19:22.840 but if i scroll down in here it's because he has the tiktok ground game i mean you've you've essentially

00:19:28.560 got loads of videos and selfies of him posing with relatively attractive young french women who

00:19:33.620 like the look of him and so he's gone at about 1.5 million followers on tiktok so like trump like

00:19:39.140 farage like the afd as we've seen right-wing politicians are winning over the zoomers because 1.00

00:19:44.300 their tiktok game is much better than most other politicians i think only aoc is probably rivaling

00:19:49.040 them in the states and even then it's a lot of astroturfing and very insincere and also the

00:19:55.580 the hilarious thing is it notes in sky news right at the bottom i know sky news is a real rag outlet

00:19:59.540 but it turns out he might have had a um anon account on twitter and might have been posting

00:20:05.220 something spicy he's always denied it but what like paul marshall yeah we could be looking at

00:20:10.460 president cunley druckberg basically which would be brilliant and hilarious so to finish this segment

00:20:16.220 just with a just with a bit of optimism i mean we're seeing all of this happen across the eu i'm glad

00:20:20.480 that young french germans belgians and the like are voting for patriotic populist party so what's

00:20:25.720 what's happening in the uk well i did this segment earlier last week and it seems to have been clips

00:20:31.660 of it edited into pro farage dark brexit meme compilations which i'm always happy to to see

00:20:37.320 and i did predict that you're going to see a sort of polling bump for young people among reform now

00:20:41.720 that fraud just stepped into the race you know what was interesting when i was doing the mep campaign

00:20:45.240 in 2019 uh there was a poll that we got that had it broken down by age and ukip was polling at 17

00:20:52.380 percent between for 18 to 24 year olds and callum just looks over me and goes look we've done our

00:20:57.320 job and it's like great point actually well turns out something similar is happening here oh really

00:21:03.340 um among 18 to 24 year olds reform are the second most popular party oh yeah now of course still quite

00:21:09.900 a distance there is there is still quite a distance but for an insurgent populist right-wing

00:21:13.840 party particularly among a very ethnically diverse and ideologized generation 10 out ahead of all of

00:21:22.180 the other parties with much more name recognition is pretty significant and they're also out ahead

00:21:27.120 with 45 to 54 and 55 to 64 it's only the boomer bribing bracket at 65 plus where labor and conservatives

00:21:34.120 are remotely close but even then 19 of them are breaking for reform but the really important one is

00:21:39.240 that 10 block there because it only took about 16 odd percent of the vote share for the afd to really

00:21:47.420 upset the balance and that was mainly driven by young people and i think as faraj's mean ground game

00:21:53.160 gets off you're going to see more people to do so and also faraj was addressing the fact that

00:21:57.640 polling averages are skewed because a lot of the time they won't put reform in they'll put it under the

00:22:03.480 other category yeah and they won't they won't do a cross sampling of everywhere like if you do

00:22:08.160 scotland and london reform are well behind but if you do every other constituency in the country

00:22:12.440 they're ahead of the conservatives so i think we're going to see more seats than expected for reform

00:22:18.900 like in the european elections not to the same scale because young people are really sick of mass 0.99

00:22:23.240 immigration it's going to be a fun one

00:22:25.740 i am looking forward to the election night to be honest

00:22:30.560 right ready go all right yeah um if i got if i got the the con okay so i thought i would talk all

00:22:42.620 about hunter biden oh good because he's a very naughty boy isn't he far from being the messiah he's

00:22:49.240 a very very naughty boy it seems i only know this because of the things that hunter biden himself has

00:22:54.260 allowed to fall into the public domain yeah against his better judgment he's so

00:22:59.760 the laptop thing the details of it so does anyone doesn't know yeah he just took his own laptop to

00:23:05.960 a repair shop and forgot about it it seems through some sort of fog of drug-addled insanity forgot

00:23:12.740 he'd taken his laptop to a repair shop that was full of i mean reaminating evidence such as videos

00:23:18.240 photos and emails but uh really he didn't want to fall into the hands of rudy julian

00:23:24.240 the trump campaign or steve bannon or steve bannon and they did yeah it's unbelievable we'll talk a

00:23:30.200 bit more about the laptop towards the end i think because this is something slightly different um

00:23:35.180 despite a good few years of wrangling now well over three years of the actual justice department

00:23:41.960 looking at mr biden hunter biden um there's two things one is um allegations of fraud tax evasion

00:23:52.860 various money issues to do with whether he either just didn't pay a certain amount of tax or where

00:23:58.520 his income his income came from so that's something different and we'll be going on trial criminal trial

00:24:03.780 in september for that right this is a completely different case well they were sort of connected

00:24:10.720 in terms of trying to do a plea deal and stuff but anyway completely different issue was he got in trouble

00:24:15.760 for lying about on documents about getting a gun really yeah i've never bought a gun in america

00:24:22.400 but i bet they ask you questions like are you an alcoholic are you a drug addict are you convicted

00:24:26.580 felon are you currently on parole there are going to be lots of questions i bet he didn't answer

00:24:31.940 honestly are you clinically insane yeah um yeah so uh gun laws in america every state is very different

00:24:38.680 but um uh up in wilmington is it it's delaware where they're from isn't it delaware is the place 0.75

00:24:45.820 um so yeah you had to sign to get just a pistol he tried to buy a 38 special little revolver

00:24:51.660 little nickel plated quite a nice little like a little pistol and um and on the thing you have to

00:24:59.460 declare that you're not a drug addict and he said i'm not now he was certainly on drugs even his own

00:25:07.560 defense team don't claim that he was clean he doesn't claim he was clean he's just saying i

00:25:11.920 wasn't actually an addict oh oh right right so we're into the fine details well look i was taking

00:25:17.420 drugs every day but i was addicted maybe that was the day where he accidentally stumbled across some

00:25:21.420 parmesan cheese rather than a crack rock and so technically he might be sober when filling out

00:25:24.760 the form of the time i was just so desperate for crack i mistook cheese for it and smoked that i mean

00:25:29.560 i'm not an addict okay well that is the thing so in his his own memoir he's talked uh fairly

00:25:37.000 candidly about his struggles with substances yeah um yeah and uh and again his own defense team or

00:25:43.280 he's not even trying to claim that he was completely clean and sober at that point um you know he was

00:25:48.780 smoking crack i believe crack or cocaine as well yeah or crack cocaine so this anyway lots of drugs yeah

00:25:55.420 yeah okay probably lots of different drugs so he bought this pistol again why he felt the need

00:26:01.560 necessarily to buy a like a 38 special cold cobra it's a nice little pistol i'm sure it's lovely

00:26:07.660 but why he suddenly needs one yeah because um it wasn't for sort of uh practice or just sport or he

00:26:14.120 liked to shoot or anything like that he never shot the gun he alleges there's no evidence he actually

00:26:18.400 ever even tried shooting it or anything like that so anyway that's not the point you're allowed to own a gun

00:26:24.660 sure it's not a problem um but yeah so he only owned it for about 11 days when his sister-in-law

00:26:32.100 his dead brother beau his wife hayley i think her name was hallie hayley isn't that the one he ended

00:26:37.760 up getting with as well well they had apparently they had a brief tumultuous tryst uh yeah i don't

00:26:45.180 want to speculate on that man of such sterling character yeah yeah but just all sorts of grief and

00:26:51.720 weirdness going on i don't want to necessarily judge him for that but it well i will actually

00:26:55.980 it's weird uh anyway moving on she found the gun like 11 days 11 days later odd just in his car

00:27:02.920 yeah she just found it she took it upon herself to just take it to the dumpsters around the back of

00:27:08.320 some local wilmington uh like stores stores and just put it in a dumpster you know i hope no one

00:27:15.780 finds this gun in the dumpster that's weird so she did that i don't know whether it was she felt

00:27:21.880 to protect him uh from himself or whatever or this guy just doesn't need access to a revolver right

00:27:28.560 now maybe that was her thinking but either way i feel like that was actually probably

00:27:33.080 maybe a crime are you allowed to do that well that's theft right well well yeah

00:27:38.740 but also it's dangerous because a kid could have found it or whoever who knows i mean it's

00:27:44.720 unlikely little kids going through dumpsters finds a 38 special i don't know sources the ammo for it

00:27:49.860 and then accidentally shoot someone or themselves could happen but unlikely but otherwise she looks

00:27:54.700 like she's arming the homeless or something it is irresponsible gun ownership whatever happened 1.00

00:27:59.920 her doing that was irresponsible on her part anyway uh the crime they're trying to get biden for

00:28:05.760 hunter biden is uh lying on that thing so he says he says look i may have been high may or may not

00:28:12.600 have been high as a kite for those 11 days but i was not an addict and that's the letter of the law

00:28:18.660 but prove i was an addict well it's in your memoirs hunter well yeah he's claiming at that point he was

00:28:24.900 he'd already sort of largely got clean although obviously not completely like he was not claiming he was

00:28:30.660 sober he's just saying i wasn't actually addicted though i'd been to various rehab things

00:28:35.740 and i'd put things in place and sure i'm still smoking but i wasn't i'm not actually an addict so i

00:28:41.480 haven't done anything wrong so it ended up boiling down to them arguing about what is the nature of

00:28:46.500 being an addict and does hunter fall into that definition well so someone who admits that they

00:28:51.240 were an addict but now i'm not an addict i just smoke it recreationally or whatever yeah uh that's an

00:28:56.360 addict that's an addict in denial right yeah and i'm not taking any counter arguments to the contrary

00:29:01.700 i'm only a crackhead on the weekends it's genuinely his i can stop drinking whenever i want yeah it's

00:29:06.200 like yeah can you anyway so i called this uh bit hunter in the dock but actually was never in the

00:29:12.800 dock oh or the witness stand rather his defense team chose not to put him on which again is very

00:29:19.560 yeah he's actually he's putting the crack pipe away as he gets on the stand no um it's very telling

00:29:26.380 because usually yeah it's not always the case it's not fair to say this is always the case but

00:29:30.680 usually the defense won't put you on because it's not in their interest to you're going to bugger up

00:29:37.480 there's too many cracks in your story or you just don't well portraits of words um yeah there's too

00:29:44.060 many uh crack rocks in your story and uh you just don't come off as credible you don't come off as

00:29:50.020 believable or or nice or anything like that well do you know that's usually why they do that do you

00:29:54.940 do you not remember the abc interview where he admitted that he shouldn't have been on the board

00:29:58.780 of burisma and if it wasn't for his surname he wouldn't have been in there i mean that's that's

00:30:03.040 another reason why you wouldn't want to be on the stand it's like well he might just come out and

00:30:06.020 admit the thing because he's actually obviously not that bright also if he if he had to be on the

00:30:12.700 witness stand would he not have been subjected to a drug test or cross-examination well oh i don't

00:30:18.160 know definitely because the the prosecuting party could have requested one and given there was that

00:30:25.980 recent case i can't remember what it was for it might have been thanksgiving where they found a

00:30:31.740 bag of cocaine smuggled into the inside of the white house oh yeah i wonder who's that was it could

00:30:36.300 have only been someone who didn't go through security clearance which means friends or family of the

00:30:40.440 biden's themselves who in the white house would be taking loads of cocaine surely jill

00:30:44.860 it could well be he isn't quite clean at the moment yeah i mean because the incident itself is back from

00:30:51.300 2018 so all the drug tests now would do is see if he's still using or whatever yeah which he probably

00:30:57.780 is but um i mean he knows about that um so yeah he wasn't called as a witness in his own defense

00:31:03.940 um which is a little bit suspicious not necessarily always but um still a bit weird um yeah so the

00:31:14.680 question is really was was he an addict now at the right now as we speak the jury are deliberating so

00:31:20.480 for a start it's a jury case and um i mean you can never can really tell what a jury are going to

00:31:26.280 decide when it's one of those things it sort of is in the lap of the gods um his defense team as you

00:31:31.920 could probably sort of imagine tried to argue that one he wasn't an addict so he should be let off

00:31:36.160 just in and of itself just on the strength of that uh but also um it's trump's fault and it's

00:31:42.700 republicans and they're they're they're weaponizing the justice department joe biden's justice department

00:31:47.740 oh yeah yeah somehow trump and the republicans have weaponized that very precise um and it's all

00:31:52.060 unfair and this this kid this poor didn't do nothing kid is uh is being is being demonized for the

00:31:58.580 crimes of his father and all that sort of thing that sort of nonsense it was actually trump 0.91

00:32:02.800 administration policy that russia the um hunter had to bang russian hookers i hear it's just just 1.00

00:32:09.640 absurd the problem is trump is just interfering with his under the table deals with china and russia

00:32:14.380 and well just before we move on to that just to finish up because i do want to talk about that as

00:32:18.700 well uh just to finish up on the gun thing he's on three different charges and federal charges uh could

00:32:24.620 potentially get 25 years even if he is found uh guilty and in my mind it's a 50 50 whether he

00:32:29.820 will be but if he is he'll probably won't get a custodial sentence the judge will probably give

00:32:35.880 him a slap on the wrists but who knows he could get a big custodial sentence i put very good money

00:32:40.820 on that he won't yeah and he might in that 50 50 whether he'll be found guilty at all the other case

00:32:46.600 in september that's some that's the big show this one's a bit of a not a joke it's federal

00:32:51.480 yeah this is sort of uh yeah yeah and a mousse bouche for the big show in september which uh because

00:32:59.320 this case was all done in a few days flat um just to mention i meant earlier earlier i mentioned about

00:33:05.100 the possibility of a plea deal what they tried to do this is like what a year ago or so or over six

00:33:12.140 months ago they tried to do some sort of deal with both these everything is being charged with all at

00:33:17.000 once one big deal with the justice department um and uh it looked like it was going to be

00:33:23.440 they were just going to basically drop the gun one drop the gun charges he's going to admit to

00:33:28.400 like sort of doing something wrong but he didn't really know he was doing anything wrong when it comes

00:33:32.200 to the money side and they were gonna it was just going to be a big massive slap on the wrist

00:33:36.920 and he certainly wouldn't get any jail time if he admitted to little things here and there

00:33:41.080 and then particularly the right-leaning establishment of fox news and trumpers and all sorts of people

00:33:48.080 most normal people with with their right mind yeah were like you can't this is that is a real

00:33:53.300 travesty of justice you can't do this that is no one would no one would get such a sweet deal

00:33:58.000 normally no one dream of anything close to that degree of sweetness in a deal being struck and

00:34:04.160 eventually even a judge i think it was a trump appointed judge um said no we're not doing that that plea

00:34:09.920 deal was ridiculous we're going to trial and so here we are uh but before i carry on just about

00:34:15.460 the brisma and russia and china and things it is interesting though isn't it to see the the cogs of

00:34:21.820 justice turn um in different countries how they deal with it and america is interesting because

00:34:27.640 you know if for example the justice department was completely a thing of the biden's this wouldn't

00:34:35.140 have happened was it would it um now they're definitely using it to weaponize against trump

00:34:42.060 yeah we'll come back in a minute and um also it's sort of the way it's always been it's it's quite

00:34:48.200 difficult throughout all of history to make the justice system completely divorced from politics

00:34:55.020 or from culture or anything it's very very very difficult almost impossible thing to do still you want

00:34:59.840 to get as close to it as you can but yeah like there's the the justice department is the fbi and

00:35:06.460 the albeit very very very slowly has brought cases against hunter biden so you can't say as lame as it

00:35:15.700 is and as long as it's taken you can't say that they're completely no but the the problem i have

00:35:20.760 though is this i don't have to like this sort of tidal force maybe where it's been very very

00:35:28.760 difficult to get to this point because the evidence against hunter biden but then so overwhelmingly

00:35:33.620 will look he's a crackhead he's taking foreign money and i you know i've i've seen some bizarre

00:35:39.920 photos of him on twitter that are definitely worthy investigation and it's taken a long time to get to 0.86

00:35:45.400 this point where a trump judge has got to be like no no we are going to do something about this

00:35:48.860 whereas when it comes to the people on the other side yes yes yes yes constant constant constant

00:35:54.580 lawfare against these people to the point where it's actually getting quite ridiculous but we'll

00:36:00.820 cover that in a minute um and so think about what's just happened with steve bannon or for example we'll

00:36:04.980 cover it we'll cover in a minute oh yeah it's just to be clear i'm not saying it's fair no no no now

00:36:09.380 they're prosecuting biden it's all good yeah exactly there's no issues with the i'm definitely not

00:36:14.920 saying that they're just you know it there's such an intrinsic bias in the justice system towards

00:36:21.840 the democrats and away from the republicans it's just so evidently not fair and so it is a miracle

00:36:27.660 that it's got to this point to be honest you are yeah they did try everything in their power for it

00:36:32.000 not to yeah didn't they yeah they did they did pull out all the stops yeah um that's quite often the

00:36:38.200 way uh you'll come up against a particular judge and all of their it's all sort of at their discretion

00:36:44.760 quite often and if you get a judge in the right mind in the right mindset i mean it's what happened

00:36:50.520 with nixon and the um and the watergate tapes and the whole watergate scandal is eventually they came

00:36:57.300 up against a judge he was actually a republican a lifelong republican but was just for the law

00:37:03.500 straight down the line sort of a thousand percent for the law and he just couldn't not bring things

00:37:09.540 to trial and could just couldn't bring himself to omit key bits of evidence and so eventually the

00:37:14.920 sort of the truth came out um again as i said in the last segment it's difficult really for the truth

00:37:20.480 not to come out largely in the end about most things after enough time has elapsed yeah i mean not

00:37:27.260 everything of course but so okay so quickly moving on then um biden has said that if hunter is convicted of

00:37:35.460 felony charges he won't pardon him uh presidential pardon when joe comes to leave office i don't i'm

00:37:42.140 not sure i don't believe it presidents quite often say they won't and then literally on their last day

00:37:46.300 in office they pardon all their buddies yeah that's that's been done bunched whole bunch of times i

00:37:51.180 won't put that past sleepy joe not in a million years assuming he lives that long yeah right yeah

00:37:55.780 i'm sure he will in his will say to kamala make sure to pardon hunter yeah on your last day um

00:38:04.680 okay so yeah just then to say the upcoming thing in september um it's that's much much more serious

00:38:11.760 because this is just sort of this gun thing it's sort of silliness and uh drug-addled antics yeah

00:38:19.000 it's a footnote right in history it's quite trivial uh yeah right and really if that haley haley

00:38:25.920 biden hadn't have dropped it in a dumpster it might not have been a thing at all yeah uh but yeah the

00:38:32.300 money stuff um it's something like he had 1.4 1.5 million dollars of income and this is going back

00:38:39.240 to the years i think 2017 2018 sort of time and uh it's alleged that he sort of failed to pay

00:38:47.040 something in the order of 100 grand's worth of tax on that and that's from what i know and i might be

00:38:52.600 wrong when the trial happens and we will find out all the details and things but i feel i think that's

00:38:57.580 fairly slam dunk black and white he just didn't pay some taxes he should have done he's gonna get

00:39:02.700 al capone does he well that's the thing so sometimes they just they just say well at the end of the

00:39:08.100 trial they're just like right you're gonna pay that like right now and there's a whole bunch of other

00:39:11.720 fees and fines and things you're gonna pay or yeah they go al capone or wesley snipes right i know we

00:39:18.480 don't want your money anymore yeah you're going to federal prison no you keep your money you're going 0.64

00:39:23.180 in the slammer i doubt they would that's what they did to wesley snipes wesley snipes owed silly

00:39:28.200 money and at the end he was found guilty and he's like okay i'll pay and they're like too late for

00:39:32.400 that wesley i don't so i don't know what they'll do with hunter um but i you know if i suspect he might

00:39:40.020 be in trouble with that secondary case it does look kind of bad for him and it's not even that sort

00:39:44.920 of where it came from so like the other barisma thing yeah i'm worried about where the money comes

00:39:48.740 from really like you know i don't care if he doesn't pay tax tax sucks because the question 0.61

00:39:53.700 is why would anyone give uh know nothing crackhead hunter biden loads of money he what's he's of no 0.53

00:40:00.300 use he's no good to anybody is he his dad was vice president right you know 10 for the big guy

00:40:05.760 the big guy they shared bank accounts i think at one point they shared a phone number or something

00:40:10.160 didn't they what wasn't uh joe biden making him give him money as well yes like just like there was a

00:40:18.040 text from complaining that his dad makes him give him money yeah it's like good god well also in

00:40:22.660 the text and this is something that should be investigated adjacent to all of the obvious drug

00:40:27.280 crimes which he's doing on camera abuse in the family because we now have ashley biden's diary

00:40:32.960 in those texts he nicknamed his own dad pedo peter and then hunter himself there were texts between him

00:40:40.160 and jill about untoward advances on his niece who was about 14 i think really so all of this is

00:40:46.700 established as evidence and nobody's interested in touching it very strange well that's the last

00:40:51.220 thing i was going to say as you alluded to there are images out there yeah of hunter biden seemingly

00:40:57.080 in compromising situations with young ladies yeah who appear to be far far far too young for the age of 0.93

00:41:06.540 consent yeah they're just out there whether the fbi and the justice department will take it upon

00:41:12.220 themselves to investigate that fully who knows yeah um yeah the fact that he's getting done for tax evasion

00:41:19.560 whatever it is well that's the thing tax fraud or yeah whatever it is you know um the crux of it is is

00:41:26.500 that joe biden himself is potentially compromised because when he's gone on record a bunch of times he

00:41:34.020 says i know nothing about my son's business deals i know nothing literally nothing about all his money

00:41:40.340 issues now that again seems already seems anecdotally seems to have been shown that's just not the case

00:41:48.740 that cannot be the case so then if um if by hunter biden has taken money from god knows who for god knows

00:41:58.100 what reason it's kind of obviously that it's to get access to the idea of pay to play getting access

00:42:04.980 to the big guy i mean it's it's fairly straightforward right it's not it's not really sort of an elaborate

00:42:12.260 web of deceit didn't it's just i mean it's really weird as well because there was a chinese company who

00:42:18.100 paid him millions there was the fact that he's on the board of burisma with no skills is obviously just a

00:42:22.580 a sort of connection but didn't like the wife of the mayor of moscow three million dollars as well

00:42:28.100 it's like what it's such a bizarre web but it's you know this is not the stuff that he's being charged

00:42:34.020 for this is not like anything none of the disgusting stuff it's the fact that oh it's tax fraud because

00:42:39.540 i mean that doesn't really come with a great deal of moral baggage right so i didn't pay his tax

00:42:44.420 i'm based okay you know like i hate taxes too libertarian hero hunter biden yeah exactly he does

00:42:51.300 loads of drugs exactly doesn't doesn't submit to gun background checks doesn't pay his taxes yeah

00:42:56.340 and so questionable in the age of consent yeah tern here so it's getting him on all the wrong charges

00:43:03.540 for my liking you know yeah yeah really is yeah i would like to see um it seems to me unless it's

00:43:11.460 proven in court that on the money side of things he's completely innocent and genuinely did nothing

00:43:16.660 wrong if that's shown then okay so be it um but i doubt that will be the case and if it's not i'd like

00:43:22.900 to see him go away for a long long time and his father disgraced and perhaps prosecuted and then

00:43:27.620 after all of that investigate the allegations of um underage sex because it seems to be there

00:43:35.940 there's there's just evidence right yeah there's photos of him i mean i guess you call them child 0.89

00:43:40.740 prostitutes god knows like i don't know trafficked kids yeah yeah exactly the correct traffic you can 0.57

00:43:46.980 show your face in public yeah and just pretend you're sort of normal or whatever it's just the 0.98

00:43:53.460 absolute corrosion of his soul is just mad and it clearly flows from the top if it's the same with

00:43:59.940 ashley biden under biden um i also heard that bo biden when he was alive worked to get a convicted

00:44:05.860 pedophile out of prison oh is that right yeah weird that i'm ashamed to share a name with the

00:44:12.820 man he even spells it the same way as i do it's very very rare yeah um but okay i guess we'll move

00:44:18.820 on from hunter biden because the the maybe i'll talk about it again later in the week or in september

00:44:23.620 when it when the other child comes up because the jurors should be returning a verdict any moment

00:44:29.060 perhaps today oh really but they're actually in deliberations right now as i understand so

00:44:35.460 we'll see i guess we will

00:44:38.740 can i pinch those yes of course technology ration coming your way thank you

00:44:43.700 uh and the mouse please okay yep go for it um yeah so um go pick up islander by the way before

00:44:51.540 we start of course one week left it's worth your time anyway so i thought we'd just begin with biden

00:44:56.580 uh joe biden this time um i mean he's just out to lunch right like we haven't got any sound but

00:45:03.140 that's okay because we can just uh observe his very strange behavior right now obviously just

00:45:11.940 confused old man i like everyone says oh joe biden has done this joe biden has done that i don't

00:45:17.300 really believe joe biden does a lot actually i i think that joe biden is far too uh just

00:45:23.940 millions oh we have some lives will be saved but uh he doesn't know what he's doing he's he's

00:45:29.620 confused man and this is not news uh again just the very bizarre things he's just

00:45:39.300 there's some celebration he's at and that's a pride thing isn't it uh no some um black community

00:45:44.980 thing i can't remember what it was now uh but just it's just so bizarre that he stood so rigid

00:45:50.420 these are these are not normal behaviors of a person who is fully compass mentis right he is

00:45:57.060 like a like a toddler yeah he's got the same stance as you've seen that video where he walks up in

00:46:02.980 front of the reporters and yeah yeah yeah he does the a child looking their parents square in the eyes

00:46:08.020 knowing they're defecating their nappy sure we'll come to that in a second but it's it's the the total

00:46:12.260 lack of apparent social skills right makes it appear that he doesn't really know where he is and what

00:46:17.140 he's doing so it's okay and like you say uh uh recent d-day uh uh ceremony in france um

00:46:26.340 as the parent of a toddler that that is a correct assessment yeah it looks like macron pulled his

00:46:32.260 finger yeah um we we have been reliably informed though that uh he did not poo himself a d-day event by

00:46:40.260 daily beast chat checked yeah i don't i don't know how they know that in fact he didn't uh i don't

00:46:48.420 we smelled ourselves yeah but uh apparently he was looking for a chair which is like okay fine but

00:46:53.460 isn't that interesting that that's the kind of headline you have to go with so yeah you know

00:46:57.540 joe bun didn't actually uh crap himself this time actually but also like unlike in front of the pope

00:47:02.180 uh sorry god yeah if if he was and camilla yeah if he was cognitive and the reporters 0.60

00:47:07.620 if he was cognitively aware he would have seen there were no chairs when he just walked up on

00:47:11.300 the stage yeah and why everyone else is standing up yeah yeah i mean it's there are okay well there

00:47:17.220 is a chair behind him actually so you know maybe but even then okay it's someone who's lacking in

00:47:24.420 spatial awareness and is unsteady and is obviously an 80 year old man who needs to be put on the front 0.99

00:47:30.900 porch in the sun uh and to watch some tv or something not in charge of a country i mean and

00:47:36.420 you listen to him talk there's just are american weapons being used right now right now inside of

00:47:40.420 russia quite an important thing and of course he says yes but that's not the thing that i think is

00:47:45.300 worth paying attention to i know for years you've resisted the idea of american weapons being used for

00:47:51.300 any sort of direct strike inside russia but we did witness this shift in recent days authorizing

00:47:58.180 american weapons for limited direct strikes are american weapons being used right now inside

00:48:04.500 russia they're authorized to be used in proximity to the border we're not authorizing strikes of 200

00:48:12.260 miles into russia we're not authorizing strikes on moscow on the kremlin it's the way he's talking

00:48:19.060 he's he's very very difficult to get what he's trying to say out like this is the guy who is

00:48:25.060 just not physically equipped for any of this i've said it before because i've done a bit about

00:48:29.460 biden's declining a couple times i think yeah it's just so obvious um yeah you mentioned it earlier

00:48:36.020 but um and it might sound like nothing but it's again very very very telling is the your gait the

00:48:42.580 way you the way you walk yeah uh not just the way you walk the way just sort of stands there as well

00:48:47.700 with a weird uh a weird posture yeah everything about it screams someone's dying yeah um not just

00:48:55.380 struggling a bit yeah somebody that's that's dying um the little baby step thing um that's sort of where

00:49:03.220 you can't really turn your neck right so you turn your whole body someone who's very infirm yeah 0.99

00:49:08.420 someone that's not long for this well you know i saw it in my own grandparents yeah i'm just thinking

00:49:12.740 michael keaton in the bat suit where they didn't build in any neck movement so they had to keep

00:49:16.100 going yeah um but we've all seen his gait right and also you've started off with a bit about uh where

00:49:24.500 he leaves a lectern after saying some words somewhere or other just one and doesn't how many times does

00:49:28.980 that have to play out yeah exactly i've seen that a half a dozen times easily yeah and these these are

00:49:33.780 all things from the last week right that's the thing these are all things from the last week because

00:49:37.940 i could have gone and got historical clips from like a year ago six months ago campaign trail all

00:49:42.820 yeah exactly all exactly the same stuff and again like this biden fumbling his sentences like you know

00:49:49.780 lost she knows so long as he was denied our freedom can never be secured what what is he saying

00:49:57.620 still america could be defined in a single word yeah exactly just the constant same problems are coming

00:50:04.660 up right and so this this is something that people have noticed right people know that there's

00:50:10.500 something wrong with biden right he's not the one really in charge and even if he is that's even worse

00:50:15.780 right there's something wrong so anyway going to the trump verdict now so trump was found guilty uh on 34

00:50:22.740 counts of uh was it uh retroactively changing uh tax records to hide payments to stormy daniels but none of

00:50:33.140 of them were felony crimes and they couldn't even agree on what the felony crime itself was and the

00:50:36.820 jury was instructed they didn't have to agree on what the crime was either yes we just need enough

00:50:41.060 of you to say yes on some and then we'll pile it all together we don't like the big bad orange man 0.96

00:50:44.660 and it was done via michael cohen who was convicted for what was it was lying to congress and i believe

00:50:50.820 it was also forging business records before yeah so convicted fraudster and liar and he broke parole

00:50:55.860 who broke parole and so it it's a quite trivial thing anyway it's like hunter biden's gun thing

00:51:04.340 it's quite trivial really uh b it seems to be very stitched together and the part of a constant

00:51:09.940 campaign of lawfare against trump and the people around trump uh and so the question is okay well is

00:51:16.020 it going to change the election uh well polls suggest no actually right so that's interesting because of

00:51:22.900 course you can tell the democrats have been really and was it uh alexander soros was coming no we've

00:51:28.260 got to tell everyone he's a convicted felon so okay tell everyone because nobody's like oh yeah

00:51:33.300 well a neutral court justice suddenly found trump guilty well i guess i can't vote for that guy then

00:51:38.260 because that's not what's happening and everyone can see that's not what not what's happening right

00:51:42.260 so rasmussen uh who uh generally pretty good did a poll uh about this and uh trump had gained one

00:51:49.060 percentage point after this so didn't do what they don't the democrats were expecting him to crater

00:51:55.620 no uh trump's at 43 now and biden's at 42 in their poll uh and they say this suggests any baggage carried

00:52:03.220 by the president has long since been baked into the public's assessment of him in other words the jury

00:52:07.700 decision wasn't news that surprised anyone no why would it be but has there ever been anyone that's been

00:52:13.140 subject to a more defamatory and aggressive media campaign than trump has there ever been anyone

00:52:19.860 who's been more investigated than donald trump i mean honestly right again if you just asked me 30

00:52:25.940 years ago oh donald trump he must have some skeletons in his closet you'd be like well yeah

00:52:30.180 you know billionaire new york playboy yeah of course he's got some skeletons in his closet

00:52:34.580 and then after all this investigation doesn't really oh well we've got what have we got him on

00:52:38.980 his tax records guys it's like okay hasn't he got a crime to his name you know like i think some of

00:52:45.860 the details for the storm of daniels thing i think it was that he got her to sign an nda yeah she did

00:52:51.060 yeah and he needed a lawyer to rub a stamp and do all the paperwork well actually so he didn't get

00:52:56.980 out to sign it he still claims and there is no paperwork to this day that shows that he had any

00:53:01.860 knowledge of this michael cohen just presented him with a series of claims that these are bad stories

00:53:07.540 that might look bad in the campaign do you want me to deal with them and he went yeah just deal with

00:53:10.660 them and he reimbursed him for legal fees so it wasn't even that he knew there was a payout it

00:53:15.300 wasn't even that's rare that's all i was going to say guilty money so the only point i was actually

00:53:20.180 going to make is that he was paying his lawyer legal fees for doing lawyering yeah and the the case

00:53:27.140 against him is that you falsely said their lawyer's fees when in fact it was hutch money or whatever

00:53:33.540 something else we're just finding it in some other way and now you're guilty on 34 counts and

00:53:38.260 and trump and most most other people particularly lawyers they're like what are you even talking

00:53:44.420 about what is this nonsense and your average person can even understand that right your average person

00:53:52.100 who might not even be predisposed towards trump yeah can see that's a stitch up same same with the

00:53:57.540 um the mugshot you know everyone can see now that shouldn't have that shouldn't have happened and

00:54:02.180 trump played it so perfectly that it came off as a bloody giant win it was his only tweet he's done

00:54:06.900 so far it was just his mugshots but it was such a good mugshot as well i can't get over it right

00:54:11.940 and so yeah most most voters have just said look this doesn't make any impact at all because this

00:54:17.460 is all downstream of you having trump derangement syndrome and not accepting him as the legitimate

00:54:23.700 opposition basically so another poll was done 55 of likely voters so there's not a factor in their

00:54:29.460 decision on who they're going to vote for so most people are just like obviously uh 28 called it a

00:54:35.140 major factor i'm going to guess they're the heavily democrat voting base that they have 17

00:54:40.740 is a minor factor so probably a portion of the independence who knows but um but it hasn't swayed

00:54:46.180 the polls in any way shape or form so it looks like everyone's minds are already made up um weirdly

00:54:51.860 and this is really going to shock you uh most people 81 percent cited the economy is the top

00:54:58.820 issue wow what a shock immigration second i believe in most polls as well uh yeah followed well followed

00:55:06.500 by uh inflation the state of democracy crime the southern border and firearms policy so just all of the

00:55:13.380 things that are real problems that real people have to deal with and not like elite um rubber stamping and

00:55:21.220 like marking of things you know so now i've got a red mark on you there there we go look at your

00:55:24.980 reputation now mr trump uh not people's problems and so obviously it hasn't swayed anyone because of

00:55:30.580 course all of these things were being improved under trump trump was making the economy work for

00:55:36.340 people he was reducing inflation he was um well maybe not the state of democracy i mean he is not i

00:55:41.540 think trump was interfering with democracy but it was driving more mental and of course he was dealing

00:55:45.620 with the border and various other problems so like all of these things i would suggest were better

00:55:50.020 under trump than under biden because biden literally got into office and started executive

00:55:54.500 order undoing all of these things that were good for people but um but then when people were asked

00:56:00.020 about personal qualities and the reason i showed all those videos again from the last week right from

00:56:05.380 the last week when when voters were asked about the personal qualities they said that trump was more

00:56:10.420 quote tough energetic effective and competent than biden he seems younger and more energized yes trump

00:56:16.500 i mean i should have got just trump riffing on a stage from the last week again because he's campaigning

00:56:22.580 and uh his teleprompter broke the other day and so he had to just talk but the thing is that's the best

00:56:27.380 of trump where he's just given like okay i've got to just fill an hour with whatever's on his mind

00:56:31.700 brilliant just just let him talk he's so much more entertaining and uh and this is why basically people are

00:56:37.780 just like well he's more energetic i mean obviously like joe biden looks like he's about to collapse

00:56:43.780 into dust um and interestingly as well like the public is in america are not in any way shape or form

00:56:51.460 persuaded by the sort of uh the media halo around biden uh he is at this point um the least popular

00:57:00.020 president in modern history at this uh 13th quarter of his uh term so uh he's at 38.7 approval rating

00:57:07.940 which so wow 38 of america think he's doing a great job that's wild who are those people i want to meet

00:57:15.220 right but what exactly is it about biden's presence you like uh but i mean this is lower than literally

00:57:20.900 everyone trump was at 46.8 obama was at 45.9 and even george hw bush was at 41.8 so biden

00:57:29.940 is just on his last legs not even joking and another interesting thing about this confluence

00:57:38.900 of events is that biden's really starting to lose the black vote as you can see he's lost about 30

00:57:44.180 of them right now the black vote for the democrats as you can see is 91 plus percent it's a it's a secure

00:57:51.220 vote for them right they know that they're getting black people to vote for them because the democrats

00:57:55.540 have operated a kind of feudal patronage network in these communities which has been entirely

00:58:00.820 destructive for these communities but they essentially turn them into dependents well it

00:58:06.100 seems that that's not uh that's not going great for them now 30 isn't the end of the world they've

00:58:11.860 still got 63 obviously but criminalizing trump i've seen lots of videos from black people

00:58:18.820 going oh he's a real n-word right you've got a og exactly right because trump trump used to be wildly

00:58:30.020 popular with blacks because he was he was always like the aspirational figure in the rap songs there

00:58:35.940 are loads of rap songs saying i'm going to be like trump rich like trump stuff rockabama himself said the

00:58:40.820 american dream is to be donald trump exactly right and the thing is and so when he ran they all had to turn

00:58:45.460 that on him right but now okay put out his mugshot where he's looking badass and you're proving that

00:58:50.580 the justice system is itself rigged and unfair which a lot of those people have been saying for

00:58:55.380 quite some time now you know since rodney king so it's just saying like i can see why and then you've

00:59:01.140 got like kanye west and stuff like that coming out in big sport like very influential people this is a

00:59:06.980 constituency the democrats need the other thing the other thing is as well is that this voter share will

00:59:12.420 largely be black men yeah and black men do not like kamala harris and one of the reasons is 0.86

00:59:18.180 but black black men do not like because she locks them up that but they also lots of them don't like 0.90

00:59:24.020 voting for black women who remind them of their mothers it's true if you've got a high single 0.99

00:59:28.820 mother culture they don't like black femininity they like actually aspirational yeah yeah black 0.95

00:59:34.180 male competency and if trump embodies those virtues then 0.97

00:59:37.540 shut your souls in the foot there dams yeah it's uh really interesting that i said before 0.54

00:59:44.100 and i was wrong um that you couldn't be president if you're a convicted felon i thought it was there's 0.99

00:59:49.780 an age limit you obviously have to be born an american citizen um and i think if you're clinically insane

00:59:55.620 you're also disqualified and i thought it was also if you're a felon but that's wrong yep that is wrong

01:00:00.980 someone has i can't remember who it was now someone actually ran for office whilst in a cell

01:00:05.620 before um so it won't actually let's say it won't stop trump from still being able to run or anything

01:00:13.060 absolutely but the thing with biden being sort of obviously sort of just physically at a glance

01:00:18.900 he's sort of decrepit but the not being able to talk thing um there's there's no way to sort of

01:00:25.460 finesse that yeah there's no way to really properly um spin all of that to say it's not a

01:00:32.580 problem and he's okay and there's nothing to see here um and what we've known for a while right before

01:00:38.740 even 2020 election we've known that he can't speak properly yeah it's mad he can't finish a sentence

01:00:45.780 without flubbing all the words and the thing is he doesn't even seem to notice that he's flubbed the

01:00:49.460 words because he'll say something and then he'll just carry on as if no no we need to know what you

01:00:54.020 were just saying there because you know the sentence has to logically connect it doesn't

01:00:57.940 seem to matter whereas trump is a superb communicator and seems to be in the best of health

01:01:02.100 um so okay what did the conviction achieve well nothing good for the democrats it seems right

01:01:09.380 doesn't seem to have actually been to their advantage i'm going to boost in the polls they

01:01:12.660 seem to be losing support of core demographics they rely upon uh not good uh what it has done is uh

01:01:19.300 made trump really vengeful which is great about time uh according to uh nbc news uh fresh office

01:01:28.180 his historic guilty verdict in new york trump's public comments including interviews both met

01:01:33.780 um have found that he's increasingly focused on the idea of retribution against his enemies if he

01:01:39.460 returns to the white house good yes you get what you deserve michael moore did call him in the 2016

01:01:45.380 election human molodov cocktail thrown at the establishment yeah well you've just lit the fuse

01:01:49.780 10 feet longer yeah yeah it's rhetoric driven by trump's obsession that joe biden and democrats have

01:01:55.140 orchestrated a series of legal problems intended to derail his presidential campaign a political

01:01:59.460 a political persecution theory that is not supported by the facts isn't it oh well that's very persuasive

01:02:08.420 and has won over no one literally the american public don't really agree with you basically was that

01:02:13.700 nbc news saying that yeah that was nbc news saying that uh and one of the ones that employed matt

01:02:19.220 lower who literally had a button in his office to lock in interns maybe yeah not the most credible

01:02:24.500 organization was it then or cnn who one of the interns was found dead in the office oh i'm not

01:02:29.940 sure there was one there was one of them where it's just it was just completely just passed over

01:02:34.420 he's just dead in the office that's weird lovely um yeah but um so then they say you know well he was

01:02:39.060 found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records uh and the biden administration had

01:02:44.500 nothing to do with the case it's like right so we're going to trade on the myth of neutral institutions

01:02:48.580 are we uh so i mean we could always go to uh house judiciary chairman jim jordan uh who has some

01:02:54.500 serious uh questions about that he uh points out that the democrats uh demonstrate their obsession with

01:03:01.380 investigating a person rather than prosecuting crime and he says that the fact that the former

01:03:05.780 senior senior biden justice department official whose previous employment consisted of leading a

01:03:11.300 wave of state litigation against trump administration policies is now leading the prosecution of biden's

01:03:16.580 chief political rival only adds to the perception that the biden justice department is politicized and

01:03:21.860 weaponized so yeah everyone can see it i mean the new york attorney general literally came out and was

01:03:27.460 like yeah i'm gonna get trump i'm gonna get trump it's like right okay neutral institution is it

01:03:32.420 nothing to do with biden is it come on it's laughable everyone can see it and this is why

01:03:37.540 none of these prosecutions are having an impact on trump's polling apart from the blacks where it's

01:03:41.940 going up that was that letitia james yes yeah saying i'm gonna get him yeah literally come out and

01:03:47.220 it's like no judge should ever be saying that about anyone right if i mean like when you're saying you

01:03:51.700 know when they got nixon's oh he's a hard rule of law guy i would love if every judge was hard

01:03:56.340 law guy but apparently they're not like that right so okay so everyone can see this is not that that's the

01:04:01.940 case uh things are actually just fine for trump when it comes to polling uh trump also raised about

01:04:08.100 400 million since the new york city uh guilty verdict since letitia james uh so 200 million uh from this

01:04:15.140 most recent conviction and then 200 million before um so okay great things are going quite well for trump

01:04:21.060 there and apparently uh former fbi employees are worried about trump getting into power because

01:04:26.820 they're worried that he's going to jail them it's like what would he be jailing you for

01:04:31.940 so what are you saying you've done something here there's a paper trail is there that's going to

01:04:35.700 lead to trump going no investigate investigate investigate jail jail jail okay maybe you shouldn't

01:04:41.060 have committed crimes yeah and if you're thinking well hang on a second trump's going to persecute his

01:04:47.460 political enemies well maybe but who's who's uh example will he be following you know steve bannon's

01:04:52.980 apparently going to jail bannon hasn't done anything bannon was in the white house for like six months

01:04:57.540 in 2017 and even then is this because he didn't show up it's it is because he failed to provide

01:05:05.620 documents and testimony to the house select committee so he's been found in contempt of a

01:05:09.940 democrat was this the january 6th select committee uh no this uh yeah no it was sorry yes yeah so the

01:05:16.180 entirely partisan completely chatting out of their backside select committee and now who who are

01:05:21.940 persecuting a bunch of um just regular american patriots for not being violent as they walked

01:05:28.260 through the house after being let in unguided tour of the capital yeah well it wasn't unguided the

01:05:33.460 police were with them oh yeah fair point literally you can see all the footage where they're walking

01:05:37.460 around so it's like right so that's that's a politically motivated witch hunt and they're complaining

01:05:41.620 that bannon has not cooperated with their witch hunt and he's been sentenced four months in prison

01:05:45.700 bannon has appealed and the judge has eventually said well look um the appeal's been rejected bannon's

01:05:51.620 going to take the supreme court and uh the judge decided no while that's happening you're going to

01:05:56.500 go to jail so okay bannon obviously sees this as highly politicized which it obviously is um and

01:06:02.820 that's not where it ends i mean there are like wisconsin attorney general is filing felony charges against

01:06:08.500 trump's attorneys so they're going after trump and all of the people around him and they have been for

01:06:12.100 ages loads of people around trump have been targeted uh because they're very very very

01:06:17.540 worried they're going to lose the next election well i think michael flynn i think it was a 2016

01:06:20.900 they went off to him with the logan act which i think only one person had been prosecuted under

01:06:24.260 since the early 19th century when it was passed i mean i'm not even going to provide a list because

01:06:28.340 the list is just too long and exhaustive um but it keeps going on so they're they're really concerned

01:06:34.180 that like uh maga's jail plan is going to be to jail a bunch of the people who have wronged them is this

01:06:39.780 the mythical project 2025 no um no no no this is uh just concerns that they have the and this

01:06:47.620 reflection of the elite class right axios so they they're worried that if trump wins in november

01:06:52.980 his supporters will push him to investigate and prosecute uh alvin bragg and various others

01:06:58.340 uh bannon told us bragg could be targeted by the 14th amendment which the equal protection amendment

01:07:03.540 and the fourth amendment outlawing unreasonable searches and seizures by the government plus a score

01:07:07.860 of other laws so yeah bannon is going to be in trump's ear going no get them get them for doing

01:07:12.740 this to you for doing this to us to do this all of us and whose fault is it going to be it's your own

01:07:18.660 fault you know like you turned it into a banana republic you were like we're going to persecute 1.00

01:07:23.540 everyone we can in the previous administration and all you've done by doing that is not impact trump

01:07:29.780 fill his war chest and start peeling off parts of your own core demographic and make it so that in

01:07:34.980 in the public's mind they just know okay this is all just political anger that's being expressed

01:07:40.900 by the democrats and to add to the list and destabilizing the republic itself that is one of

01:07:47.620 the top concerns of voters actually death wounds to the republic yeah um wounding it giving it bruises

01:07:55.620 that won't heal yeah um because i've just finished a series on epochs check that out on loadseaters.com all

01:08:03.700 about the lives and careers of marius and sulla yep and again there you've got this example of a tip for

01:08:11.060 tap forever escalating um two factions that sort of start persecuting and oppressing each other and then

01:08:21.300 violence and then massive violence and then civil war and then whole scale massacres yeah

01:08:28.260 this that's where this leads the slippery slope of the democrats yeah uh using the justice department to 0.94

01:08:35.780 to get their political enemies trump getting into office and arresting a whole bunch of people

01:08:40.660 legitimately well when it's their turn again they'll go ape yeah and then it will flip back the other way

01:08:47.620 yep and very quickly you find yourself this is how republics die yeah right this is the death this

01:08:52.740 is how republics die yeah and and if any of them had any kind of self-awareness or self-control they

01:08:58.260 would have said look it it doesn't even matter if we think we could get them on these trivial things

01:09:02.660 we shouldn't do it because no matter what we do we'll have the aspect of political persecution

01:09:08.740 and it's destabilizing to the polity itself that's the problem the problem is though but if you yeah you

01:09:16.580 it's a catch-22 situation because if you don't do anything um it's almost like a red rag to a ball

01:09:22.420 they're not going to stop the leftists won't stop no no but like if if they weren't persecuting trump

01:09:27.140 then trump would not be persecuting them okay yeah trump's a very genial guy he didn't come into office

01:09:32.500 and just start you know jailing hillary clinton's promised exactly yeah he didn't do anything he didn't

01:09:37.060 drain the swamp very much no we weirdly you can frame it that trump was actually quite responsible

01:09:42.420 with the way that he approached all of this he was actually quite mature and you know trump's a

01:09:46.980 conciliatory guy he wants people to come on board whether that was a good idea or not that's a

01:09:52.180 different question to answer in hindsight but you can't argue that trump didn't actually approach it

01:09:56.740 with a responsible attitude he actually did to his to his fault uh and this is why he ends up getting

01:10:03.940 screwed but that that was the right thing to do whereas the democrats have not done the right thing

01:10:08.260 at all at any point at any stage in this process all they do is demonize and persecute okay well

01:10:13.780 then you reap so the wind reap the whirlwind because trump i wouldn't be surprised if trump wins he does

01:10:20.820 try to drain the swamp a bit does try to jail a bunch of key people yeah they deserve it and and then

01:10:28.820 when it's their turn again yeah well i've already made the point yeah um but it is very difficult to

01:10:35.940 break that cycle in fact i can't think of an example where it has been broken yeah

01:10:42.260 so this might be an inevitable inevitable consequence of being a republic but um but i i

01:10:48.420 put i personally firmly put the blame on the democrats for this people voted for trump you

01:10:53.700 should have just sucked it up and accepted it that's what you should have done but instead you 0.78

01:10:57.940 decided to take the aggressive political route of turning your country into a banana republic that was 0.91

01:11:02.820 going to go down to the road of civil war you you chose it okay and with that on to the video

01:11:08.340 comments

01:11:09.140 so i can i can thank chat um we need it we clearly need a wardrobe director it's appropriate

01:11:24.740 there has never been a better time than now for the uk to be taken back from the blairite globalists

01:11:29.540 the tories have never been weaker like rats they flee a sinking ship but that ship has bones

01:11:34.900 populists need to seize the helm and run for office as those rats flee to reform those in 0.87

01:11:40.100 reform must loudly call out the frauds you must sabotage them if they run for office or stand against

01:11:45.540 them you have two chances to have a real populist party it'll take time but i finally see a light

01:11:51.220 ahead for the uk okay so i'm going to be talking about this i've got to pre-record my show today but

01:11:56.500 they'll be out tomorrow on what the inside plan basically is for

01:12:02.100 uh recapturing elements of the tory party slash merging slash letting reform spearhead because

01:12:07.380 there are various efforts going on part of the problem with running for office with a tory party

01:12:13.300 membership is because cchq has central control of the candidate selection as we've seen in the last 0.90

01:12:18.260 week even if you get picked for a seat you will be chucked out if they want to parachute a

01:12:21.540 safe seater spad or party chairman in um they're actively stopping campaigning now as well because

01:12:27.620 they've got no money left and nobody likes them because we're getting ratioed yeah don't don't

01:12:31.620 don't bother this election i mean one of the candidate selections already gone through but

01:12:33.780 don't bother this election you've got five five years to do so um what reform really needs to do is

01:12:38.340 shore up their candidate selection process because one they've got hope not hate vetting their candidates 0.98

01:12:42.180 and that's stupid um and two some of the candidates that have slipped past the net in a desperate bid to 0.99

01:12:47.380 fill all the seats are crap some of them are really not very i'm sure they're very nice people but 0.99

01:12:51.220 they're not great parliamentarians in terms of their caliber and i don't trust them to clear out 0.75

01:12:54.580 the institutions were they to be elected i think that's fair to say so five years ground game hopefully

01:13:01.060 there's something on the other side of it i was thinking a bit more lesser of what california refugee

01:13:06.740 was saying there yeah we need sort of an actual populist party you know my opinion i don't want

01:13:12.420 anything to come out of the ashes of the toy party i hope they die for good and the reform yeah if

01:13:18.180 they're still run by uh nige is still a containment on some level i mean we talked about how um i still 1.00

01:13:26.500 support reform for this election despite throwing some shade their way and just saying that about

01:13:30.900 nigel i still support them and wish most of their if not all their candidates success for no other

01:13:37.060 reason to destroy the tories yeah i know that's exactly for no other reason that it does drag the

01:13:42.820 overton window to the right yeah even if it's got to be pop banging nige that does it um that's still 0.94

01:13:49.140 valuable that's still absolutely valuable to try and break the the paradigm of that you can only vote

01:13:54.340 labour or or tory to break that once and for all that would be nice to see if that's what reform's

01:14:00.180 job is this time out yeah great stuff let's do that um but i think i think hopefully for 20 29 and

01:14:08.100 future just new parties that are actually populist i mean i i view farage as the tip of the spear on

01:14:13.300 this just you know he needs to punch through the consensus and he's taking the slings and arrows

01:14:18.340 literally you know rocks and whatever else they're throwing at him milkshakes um you know he's taking it

01:14:24.100 and like he was he is right he doesn't have to do this actually you know he can have a very lucrative and

01:14:29.940 fun career just being a commentator or a sort of cheerleader for trump whatever it is he could do

01:14:35.060 very very well he doesn't have to do this he you know he's like in his 60s now this is obviously a

01:14:40.500 great amount of stress he doesn't have to do this so i'm totally in support for us one of the reasons

01:14:45.860 why i will say the tory party won't completely die off but it will be gutted of all of its traitors

01:14:51.860 hopefully there'll still be some one nation safe seat is there it's just because it's far easier to

01:14:56.420 inhabit an existing infrastructure than build it from the ground up particularly if they've got the

01:15:00.660 ground game in local constituencies if they've got their party activists if they've got like

01:15:05.060 reform doesn't have all that yet and so it would actually be easier i'm not saying it's right or

01:15:09.300 wrong but easier to take that and have nigel at the helm of that and have that already in place to 0.99

01:15:16.020 rather than spend five years building up from nothing the the problem though is that it would have to

01:15:20.900 require a restructuring of the conservative party yes like the the cchq um in a party just has to be 1.00

01:15:27.300 abolished yes i mean i would be up for local parties voting for the the mp nomination themselves as

01:15:35.140 would i that then that that takes it out of the hands of the centralized apparatus who are captured by

01:15:42.180 globalists and puppeteering the party and make it so a populist insurrection in the party could happen

01:15:47.140 so i think that'd be nice i mean i don't know how great it would work out or whatever but i think

01:15:51.220 it'd be a nice thing to do yeah i'm not necessarily as interested in i mean in what's easier

01:15:58.500 sure sure i agree i mean i'm all for a new party i'd like to see small parties and independence i'd

01:16:03.220 love to see dozens and dozens of independents win but you have to understand that at scale the money

01:16:08.420 and the effort won't be in random independent candidates it will be in an organized effort and

01:16:11.540 that's true because it's easier to control and that's where the money is flowing behind the scenes

01:16:15.700 yeah i mean the future isn't written we shall see it doesn't just because it's been that way

01:16:19.620 for a long time doesn't mean it will forever remain that way um i think we are seeing times

01:16:25.700 are changing where these big monoliths of the big old parties uh i think people will in the future

01:16:34.420 vote for smaller parties without much money or organization or even independence you know when

01:16:39.860 we get down into the nitty-gritty of the reality of sectarianism yeah well they definitely that's 0.98

01:16:44.980 different right because that's what's coming though isn't it yes that's what's coming so it's like

01:16:49.860 there's a dude in my constituency who's for me he's really based or whatever it is or i'm a muslim

01:16:58.020 he's a muslim whatever it is sectarianism wherever you are on the spectrum yeah he hasn't got much money

01:17:03.860 or much infrastructure but he's the dude in our town in our in our little rural community yeah i

01:17:11.060 think that i hope that's where we're moving to um i think it's where the muslims sorry i don't hope 1.00

01:17:16.100 we're moving to sectarianism let me get we are moving to sectarianism i hope that means that at

01:17:21.700 least then actual independence of smaller parties will actually get somewhere um because if the tories are

01:17:28.580 not 100 annihilated this time but profoundly broken in 2029 if a similar thing can happen to labor

01:17:36.180 which i think it will i think they were going to go through one endless civil war for five years

01:17:39.940 um there'll be no honeymoon period and it'll be civil war immediately after that then we're 0.82

01:17:45.060 into a brave new world i think i also think that starmer could be catastrophic as well for the labor

01:17:49.460 party like he he governs like a maniac like literally like a dictator but also i think his policy proposals

01:17:56.500 are crazy and i think they're going to do damage like biden style to the country and so people

01:18:00.660 go oh god the labor party have already screwed us why have they done this like that was always the 0.93

01:18:04.180 plan there's this idea that if you have a big enough majority the actual opposition is going to be weak

01:18:11.300 as hell yeah and so your real opposition becomes your own backbenchers yeah we can see that's what's

01:18:16.740 happened with the tories this time around to some extent anyway if you get a massive massive majority

01:18:22.420 like labor set to that will definitely happen yeah their own backbenchers will be the opposite 0.94

01:18:27.220 their opposition and it will there'll be a civil war and you in in politically within the labor

01:18:32.820 parliamentary labor party i think that there's so many people in the in labor who are ambitious

01:18:39.620 way more than the tories you see how the tories have basically imploded a few times over in the last

01:18:43.460 few years i think labor they'll be sort of the the race types like butler yeah or whatever and then

01:18:49.700 there'll be like the hardline commie types and they're just going to be i think a lot of them 0.81

01:18:54.500 have left the labor but anyway we should we should carry on yeah all right next one

01:19:03.460 what did i do to deserve this oh that went

01:19:10.180 i apologize to all audio listeners

01:19:15.620 what's wrong with the k-pop k-pop k-pop's great it's the song though you got wrong

01:19:23.140 yeah you need the i'm just ken song it's the wedding what to ken is that the joke

01:19:27.780 yeah okay yeah anyway moving moving on what's the next one as a proponent of the first past the

01:19:34.420 post voting system i recognize that candidates are forced to accept that by winning they represent

01:19:39.940 having voted for or against all their constituents objectors claim that modern representatives do

01:19:45.780 not care about this duty and so the system being broken we should embrace a new paradigm such as

01:19:50.820 proportional representation fools one does not correct an issue by entrenching the corruption

01:19:56.900 proportional representation causes governments to become mediocre by creating legislation that pandas

01:20:02.500 rather than regulates yeah i've actually like i there are definitely arguments in favor of proportional

01:20:10.180 representation especially from the right as in it allows the right to get a foothold in governments

01:20:16.100 and things like that which can use to grow which we're seeing in europe um but conversely i do dislike

01:20:22.020 the kind of mediocrity and sort of plurality of the thing like you you want a government to have like

01:20:30.260 strong executive power to be able to fix problems right okay they might create a bunch of problems 0.99

01:20:35.060 but then why did you vote for those idiots in the first place but like the the severe dispersion of 0.99

01:20:41.540 what is supposed to be a sovereign executive is an issue i think i am concerned about it so the 0.99

01:20:46.500 premise of proportional representation is founded on the idea that democracy acts as a system of

01:20:50.340 checks and balances and therefore if each party doesn't control a sizable amount of of the government

01:20:56.500 then they will have to compromise and they'll have to negotiate and all that ends up doing is

01:21:00.020 watering down good policies in practice exactly yeah anyway on the last one a gentleman's observations

01:21:07.300 of swindon chapter one the oldest verifiable record of swindon was a swine dune in the doomsday book

01:21:12.100 compiled in 1086 ad for reference that's more than half a millennium before the first american

01:21:16.660 colony was founded or australia was even discovered and more than three quarters of a millennium before

01:21:20.980 italy and germany reunified and around about the same time before greece declared itself a country

01:21:25.620 the settlement of swindon is atop a hill which is now known as old town but it is since expanded

01:21:30.180 to incorporate a number of the other settlements which were also recorded independently in the

01:21:33.780 doomsday book man the first decade of the 17th century was really important like discovery of

01:21:40.580 discovery of australia first settlement of america guy fawkes ultimate patriot sadly failed and

01:21:46.820 what's happened yeah but uh swindon doubtless predates that by probably a couple hundred years as well

01:21:52.660 well i mean it's just it's going to be part of the anglo-saxer settlement i do have an epox on

01:21:59.620 the doomsday book excellent so check that out website comments i suppose yeah yeah i'll do them uh brian

01:22:07.300 says mps hate first-time buyers because a third of mps are landlords could well be true 25 of the tory's

01:22:14.180 party donors are property developers as well yeah yeah i know i know it's crazy only a third of mps

01:22:18.980 is abandoned that's interesting yeah i would have thought it'd be much more than that kevin says

01:22:24.180 about radicalizing the young and cognitive dissonance someone on x was losing their s about

01:22:28.500 the radicalization of kids because two young boys were on the march uh chanting along with the tommy

01:22:32.740 robinson crowd and two days later the same person posted a clip of a little girl on her dad's shut

01:22:36.820 shoulders chanting from the rivers to the sea uh apparently it's just being on the right side of

01:22:41.940 history yeah uh chase says the zero seats movement is absolutely a global project

01:22:46.340 in my i love that this has gone glim in my own country of canada the federal polling as of 9th of

01:22:52.020 june is as follows trudeau liberals are projected to get 74 seats down 86 since the 2021 federal

01:22:57.780 election the polar conservatives are projecting at 211 seats of 92 since the 2021 election trudeau

01:23:05.540 still has until october to october 2025 to mess things up the tidiest turning we're going to make it

01:23:11.060 you see farage reference it the other day as well yeah yeah farage it's like okay i love this meme is

01:23:15.860 really good you know well done aa it was nema right yeah it was yeah it was a good meme spoke

01:23:21.140 to him last week about it powerful magic well done um north fc zuma says i love it when my

01:23:27.940 zuma friends are like this nice crime stat has gone down in europe then you tell them to then you tell 1.00

01:23:32.980 them to actually open their eyes and look around the cities and now tell me things are improving

01:23:36.100 yeah that's another thing so it's like the weather they're like oh may was the hottest may on record

01:23:40.500 it's like no it's freezing i have to ride my bike to work every day i know it's freezing you know you 0.95

01:23:45.300 bloody liars you know like thank god like and they've been saying it about um this month as 0.96

01:23:51.220 well like there's apparently record temperatures what are you talking about yeah it's clearly not 0.96

01:23:55.140 yeah it's cold that's the thing i think this is the crux of the whole culture war the whole thing

01:24:00.900 that's being done to us over the last 20 odd years or so it all boils down to that normal adults

01:24:08.900 thinking adults hate being lied to yeah and hate being told that you're not being lied to when

01:24:17.380 you're definitely being lied to yeah that's what all this stuff boils down to really the the abuse of

01:24:23.860 expert authority is the real problem and the more disillusioned people become with the institutions

01:24:29.940 themselves and the reliability and the validity of the things that they're saying the better for

01:24:34.180 everyone is there anything more galling to an adult when you see something and someone says

01:24:40.260 you didn't just see that yeah you're like don't tell me i didn't see it i saw it and they're like

01:24:44.820 no you didn't this is why autists and comedians are on the front lines of cancel culture because

01:24:48.180 they just blurt out what they have thought to be true and funny and then run up against a wall of

01:24:52.020 wokeness this this was the thing during covert we're not on youtube now i can say this uh

01:24:56.100 obvious bollocks like everyone was like okay so some people you know i got covered you know okay but

01:25:00.660 what was it it was a flu people weren't dropping the streets you walk around everyone's literally

01:25:04.180 normal and it's like okay so some people got some flu okay what's the problem you know nothing is you

01:25:10.180 know but the if you looked on the media like boris johnson with his saggy face and the crying the

01:25:15.460 death stats on the it's like it doesn't represent reality you know we know we're being gaslit here

01:25:20.980 colin says every time i hear far right i immediately want to respond compared to what no that's not the

01:25:26.420 correct response the correct response is oh good that's that's good to know uh i'm ultra far right

01:25:32.100 fantastic finally you know um richard says europe is damned infested by socialists still small victories

01:25:40.740 on load seaters we sorted out uh collins collar collar i think you mean connor's collar yeah there's

01:25:45.140 been a running joke oh is it now i don't i don't know where it actually started right okay i didn't

01:25:49.700 know that uh right uh someone online says if hunter biden is really oh if biden is reinstalled hunter is

01:25:55.380 getting off scot-free even if that doesn't happen he's probably going to get off rich leftist

01:25:59.220 politicians are never punished yeah i don't think there's going to be any punishment upon to biden

01:26:03.380 like the substantive you know you'll probably pay a fine but then have you seen the bloody artwork

01:26:08.500 he's doing yeah where it's like he'll literally do like a child's crayon drawing half a million 0.89

01:26:13.220 dollars so this is money laundering this is money laundering probably involving some sort of pedo 0.98

01:26:17.860 network fuck's sake you know well don't bring the protesters into this 0.97

01:26:21.940 right what exactly exactly sorry i'll just bring epstein into it shall i you know like it's it's 0.96

01:26:26.740 so galling that it's all in plain sight yeah and again it just comes back down to the lies that's

01:26:32.340 one of the classic things isn't it money laundering through art yeah yeah so i'm just gonna say i'm

01:26:37.700 gonna start selling my warhammer miniatures for half a million dollars for this one i painted uh

01:26:42.900 it's not true my mine are actually quite well painted uh arizona desert rat says for those wondering

01:26:47.380 leaving a gun in a dumpster is illegal in many states it leaves the gun within reach of miners right 0.98

01:26:51.700 sounds right i don't know about delaware specifically but either way it's monumentally 0.99

01:26:54.340 stupid of course you know of the course um omar says the only way you could pull off a physical 0.98

01:26:59.940 representation of the mental gymnastics required to believe hunter is being unfairly treated 1.00

01:27:03.460 uh but trump is an irredeemable criminal uh would make you some some kind of cryptid uh

01:27:08.980 bald eagle sends a super chat saying the problem with the justice department in the us is due to

01:27:13.860 those the top running interference most of the lower rungs care about the law abolishing and rebuilding

01:27:18.340 the agencies is nearly badly well it's not even necessarily abolishing and rebuilding them if the

01:27:22.740 people in the mid tiers and the lower tiers are genuinely quite good people who do care about justice

01:27:28.900 the problem is removing the executives you know and it's literally like letitia james she's clearly 1.00

01:27:35.700 perverting the purpose of the institution it's it's evidently her i'd just like to say on that note that

01:27:41.540 that that's definitely definitely true all over the place yeah yeah that like you might be a cop

01:27:46.980 yeah mid-level cop and you've done it for 30 years and it's only the people that have been

01:27:50.900 parachuted in above you that are giving you all this lgbtq nonsense or two-tier policing protected

01:27:57.940 you've never changed you're the same and everyone around you so like a lot of the grassroots people

01:28:02.420 in reform great people yeah great great people they can't account for ties i imagine a lot

01:28:07.460 they're just trying to do the right thing it's even the same in our um in the uh civil service

01:28:13.140 well i was gonna say a lot of them are trying i know i was gonna say i know some of them caveat

01:28:17.940 the home office i know people in the home office oh yeah and they're on our side and there are

01:28:23.380 viewers and they hate all of their higher-ups so it's in a lot of the things like you know like for

01:28:29.380 example just the police defund the police in america a couple of years ago most of the normal

01:28:33.460 police rank of fire were aghast well of course they were right yeah so they still enforce lockdown

01:28:38.820 zone well yeah zoom a tear boot says hunter biden is not a crack addict he can stop anytime he feels

01:28:44.740 like it and that day ever comes it's nobody's business but his dealers which honestly it's like

01:28:52.100 yeah i can stop anytime i want i just don't want to says hunter biden when i run out yeah well even

01:28:57.700 then he can't stop that's why that's why the parmesan came into it you know i see the whole thing

01:29:02.260 it's just gross um i'll see this uh so uh so only says even before the podcast started i would say

01:29:10.340 the answer to the question asked by segment three uh is a resounding yes because it shown the

01:29:16.100 corruption to be so blatant and the politicization politicization of the judiciary so complete that

01:29:20.740 the rule of law had been completely undermined well yes in those ways but like the the does it affect

01:29:25.940 his polling does it affect his chances no and that's what they were aiming for and it completely

01:29:31.060 failed if anything it seems to have massively backfired so you know see like colbert going on

01:29:35.460 tv going like trying to play that card that they that they've engineered the guy is a convicted felon

01:29:42.100 we can't we've been a convicted felon he's a convicted felon we can't have a convicted felon

01:29:45.540 convicted felon and the black community is just finding one of us representation yeah

01:29:52.020 even the audience are like not really responding to that and the internet and most americans are just like 0.96

01:29:57.940 yeah we we're not buying that yeah come on someone online says they can kill trump if they jail him 0.93

01:30:03.220 they just want to make him pay for defying them yeah this is all about trump being a traitor to his 0.99

01:30:06.980 class ultimately um really does come down to this uh thomas says donald trump is the worst criminal

01:30:13.220 ever uh yeah well he's not really criminal shockingly uh bald eagle uh says they wanted trump to be

01:30:20.260 convicted so the democrats and rhinos can pass a bill stripping him of his secret service protection 0.85

01:30:24.980 be interesting to see if it's past not he wants to take bets i didn't hear about that yeah i've not

01:30:29.300 thought of that i didn't even think about that i thought you just get that de rigueur if you're

01:30:32.660 ex-president yeah you have to actually change the law i mean that's what he was saying yeah i mean

01:30:38.420 that was yeah i've not heard that as an impossible angle but yeah uh threadnaught says it started when

01:30:44.340 colin tomlinson interviewed liz truss and the oph uk says oh boh so now you're on board with trump

01:30:52.500 being a sulla figure maybe not with maskers but he's going to purge dc and it's like well all i can

01:30:57.780 say is what we know about sulla is he just you know did the job and everything was fine for rome

01:31:02.980 after that so uh good luck donald sulla it worked while sulla lived yeah exactly while

01:31:09.300 in fact he died a nice bloated end the end of life for a few years after that there was a good

01:31:15.940 10 12 years after sulla died before it all started kicking off again yep so killing all 0.94

01:31:23.540 your opponents will buy you a few years it means you can die fat and happy he doesn't he used to

01:31:29.460 walk around without a bodyguard yeah because i mean you know what were you going to do well as the uh

01:31:34.660 20th century taught us it's always a good idea when you send popular politicians to jail they never come

01:31:38.580 back anyway uh we'll be back tomorrow at one o'clock until then thanks gents take care and goodbye
