The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters

00:00:00.000 hello and welcome to the podcast of the lotus eaters episode 984 i'm harry joined by josh

00:00:15.900 hello and today is the 22nd of august 2024 if you're wondering why we're giggling

00:00:20.080 because as he was counting us down samson was dying into the microphone so prayers for samson

00:00:25.660 yep thoughts and prayers for samson he might be dead by the end of this podcast but no fear

00:00:30.260 we can carry things on without him it's absolutely fine can we i can all right have some confidence in

00:00:37.820 yourself josh yes harry anyway today we're going to be talking about sweden's remigration plan and

00:00:46.160 you've got some revelations about it that i've not heard many other people speak about so that should

00:00:50.560 be interesting i'm going to be talking about how the dnc is a complete freak show yes i know

00:00:54.900 you all could have guessed anyway but let's take a deeper look and also we'll look at gamergate 2.0

00:00:59.680 the woke hag edition yes and this one is uh thanks to samson by the way uh he sent me loads of

00:01:06.400 rest in peace yes yeah rip um the late samson uh sent me loads of links for that segment so thank

00:01:14.100 you to him so it's not really your segment is it i put it together i've got a narrative thread and a

00:01:18.540 perspective thank you very much yeah all right excuses excuses all right half a job josh

00:01:22.900 anyway let's go on with it sure so everyone knows that sweden um hasn't got the best political

00:01:31.680 reputation amongst the right and uh i've got an article here from the 17th of november 2017

00:01:37.520 uh from the bbc a failed swedish flag hoax shows the decline of the extremist 4chan message board

00:01:43.680 obviously lots of things wrong with that headline also the notion that 4chan has declined since 2017

00:01:50.400 it's just wrong but they tried to to change fool people into believing there was a push to change

00:01:57.080 the swedish flag to the islamic crescent 4chan has managed to fool things of people of more ridiculous

00:02:03.400 things that is true and this petition is kind of hilarious um please consider changing offensive

00:02:11.360 national flag sweden has improved time to improve our flag with a diverse group of people holding the

00:02:17.140 the new swedish flag the same colors but with a a crescent moon familiar image on it but you know

00:02:24.320 in right-wing spheres and online sweden is often used as a bit of a political punching bag because of what

00:02:32.400 they have inflicted on what was a nice country you know swedish people lovely people they can create a

00:02:38.720 nice civilization and uh that has gone downhill and uh what has changed well uh migration mainly so 0.98

00:02:48.160 sweden has actually done a lot of good things recently so they're floating lots of ideas i don't

00:02:53.360 know whether they're going to necessarily follow through with some of this but we're just going to

00:02:56.320 go through some of this quickly it's not necessarily the focus so sweden may start paying foreign-born

00:03:02.480 swedish passport holders a thousand us dollars obviously they're not paying them in dollars but the

00:03:07.520 equivalent of for leaving sweden which i think is a good idea i think more countries should do

00:03:13.200 this just hey i know you've got our passport but you're not from here we'll give you some money to

00:03:18.640 get lost it's like in the trailer park boys where he says i'll give you five dollars to f off 0.97

00:03:23.680 um basically that and i think that that will work i mean it's kind of annoying that taxpayers have to

00:03:30.380 pay for it well there's there's two things with this one is that the headline says includes a word that

00:03:36.280 i've not seen many other people include a lot of people were saying that this was already a done

00:03:40.500 deal but it says may so they've not started doing it they are considering doing it yes the other thing

00:03:46.420 that's a worry with something like this is that it will only get a few very short-term opportunists

00:03:53.040 taking the taking this measure and then what is there to prevent these people from coming back

00:03:58.320 because yes you can offer them one thousand dollars in the short term and a few of them might take it

00:04:03.040 you'll get maybe a very small percentage of the bottom of bottom rung people who just really want

00:04:08.080 their money right now um i think a lot of people are going to stay in sweden anyway just because of

00:04:15.080 the fact that sweden as a country offers much higher living standards from anywhere else they may go

00:04:19.840 and also them leaving sweden here's a third thing does not necessarily mean that they're going back to

00:04:25.640 their home country it may just mean that they go across the border to norway that's true what's to

00:04:32.160 prevent them from just migrating across each european country and if each european country

00:04:37.460 offers a similar scheme at some point hop around yeah they can hop around collecting money and if

00:04:42.640 there's nothing to stop them coming back well then it you're just funding them even more if this is to

00:04:47.240 be done there's got to be lots of caveats like you've got to get renounce your passport you've got

00:04:51.400 you can't move to any other neighboring european country so it needs to be a pan-european thing basically

00:04:56.180 which i don't see happening um for it to work properly but i like the sentiment i think that

00:05:02.380 were this the norm in europe perhaps where it's like you're you're leaving europe pack your bags

00:05:09.500 going back to i don't know africa the middle east somewhere like that uh there's also this one as

00:05:15.060 well which i'm amazed isn't a law already this is obviously the guardian whinging about it but

00:05:19.820 the the general idea is doctors social workers and librarians librarians don't know why i can't say

00:05:25.940 that word are among those in sweden who have sounded the alarm over a proposal being explored by a

00:05:30.880 government appointed committee that would force public sector workers to report undocumented people

00:05:35.620 to authorities for why this is not the law already just you should inform the authorities if you think

00:05:43.400 there are illegals trying to use public services that should be the law already yeah if you are 1.00

00:05:49.620 a public service worker who knows and can be proven to know that there are undocumented people

00:05:56.100 claiming benefits claiming all sorts of things and you don't you should not only be fired you should

00:06:02.520 be charged and fined works for me i mean if you're working for the public in the public interest there

00:06:08.760 are certain standards you have to uphold and if you're you know not serving the taxpayer and you're

00:06:14.920 serving foreigners who are in your country legally probably likely criminals because they move to 1.00

00:06:20.480 your country in a criminal way then you're not helping anyone you're helping your own political

00:06:26.200 ideology normally i would imagine so there's also this one as well whereby this is september of 2023

00:06:34.220 it's worth mentioning because although the moderates are in charge they're a minority government and

00:06:40.940 they're sort of in coalition with the right and so the moderates have been dragged a little bit rightwards

00:06:44.900 to placate that aspect of the coalition as i understand it i don't really follow swedish politics too closely

00:06:50.600 so if you are swedish please do correct me in the comments if that's not the case um but here

00:06:56.400 and i'm directly quoting here work permits will only be made available to those labour um immigrants

00:07:02.220 in sweden who earn a salary of at least 80 percent of the swedish median salary which is a start

00:07:08.300 it's a start still too low it should if you're going to be having these people it should be about

00:07:13.380 i would say 120 percent well where they're clearly an asset right well yes you would want them to be

00:07:19.940 clearly an asset and clearly capable of actually being a net tax gain the country because this is

00:07:27.640 what the economist found when they did the was it denmark that they were looking at we'll be looking

00:07:32.420 at some danish data soon yes and they were saying that with particular populations of migrants

00:07:37.780 particularly the menats middle eastern north african pakistani and turkish in no part of

00:07:43.900 their lifespan are they an average net contributor to tax they are always a drain the perfect example

00:07:49.280 of that in britain are somalis where they're disproportionately represented in crime social

00:07:55.900 claimants yeah social housing all of the things you don't want people in your country to be doing

00:08:01.980 they're disproportionately overrepresented so i would say it would be pretty safe to say

00:08:07.100 actually no no somalis please they're not contributing um you know donald trump did the

00:08:13.920 muslim ban for terrorism why can't we do other things like that also that we've got this as well

00:08:20.720 if why is it not scrolling down wait there we go well i've got the power of mouse

00:08:27.480 so sweden to make tougher rules for family reunification is that the one make it hard yes

00:08:36.760 that's right so the government is this is a direct quote again is exploring options of introducing

00:08:43.340 further dna testing to confirm the identity of people because people are lying about their place

00:08:48.280 of origin and they're testing their dna because actually we have pretty good ethnic dna mapping we

00:08:53.120 can tell where someone is from pretty reliably based on their dna and this would particularly

00:08:57.960 apply to cases where the family relationship cannot be established by paperwork alone particularly when

00:09:02.280 it comes to children so basically the the sort of family chain of one person gets their foot in the

00:09:08.560 door and then about 20 people are living under the same roof all a family apparently just lots and

00:09:14.940 lots of cousins we get that a lot in britain as well living above barbershops that's right yeah

00:09:20.280 and uh here we have another one which is also not scrolling down for some reason

00:09:25.660 um this is part of the political pact with the right as they're saying um

00:09:30.960 and uh here we go this is an interesting part this is something that's been doing the rounds

00:09:37.780 online quite a few people talking about this and we'll go over who has been saying this

00:09:41.740 um people leaving sweden will exceed immigrants in 2024 so this is touted as a success of well sweden's 0.90

00:09:49.300 done all these things to deter migrants and now actually they're leaving more than they're coming 0.91

00:09:54.640 here this is great and uh it's perhaps not what it seems well i noticed that this is a dw article

00:10:01.220 who are not as far as i'm aware on our side and so that this might be some kind of fear-mongering

00:10:07.780 article on their part because of course they're going to be on the side of no we need to get as many

00:10:12.120 in as possible you presaged my next point here we've got the guardian here from open hearts to

00:10:18.020 closed borders behind sweden's negative net um immigration figures and it talks about asylum

00:10:23.700 seekers and hate and oh they they had a warm heart to the the downtrodden and now they're evil and mean

00:10:30.100 and far bright you get the idea we've heard it there's no reference to countries like sweden now 0.85

00:10:35.120 becoming the rape capital of europe yes we will be talking about that as well so i'm just guessing all

00:10:40.900 of the points stop being so knowledgeable harry um so here we have a graph of basically a measure of

00:10:49.200 how prejudiced people are i suppose if this is how you would measure it i think it's a relatively

00:10:53.460 reasonable measure um who would you not want to have as a neighbor and it says immigrants slash 1.00

00:11:00.120 foreign workers sweden is right at the bottom with three percent and then you've got iran at the top

00:11:05.220 there with 42 percent and russia 32 percent japan china greece morocco uh you know and all the way

00:11:12.340 down at three percent sweden but a lot of the countries are at like 40 30 perhaps even higher

00:11:17.960 than reported there some of them and then people of a different race sweden is at one percent would

00:11:24.480 not want them as a neighbor so i think it's safe to say that sweden is about as un-racist or

00:11:31.460 un-prejudiced however you want to frame it do you know it's humanly possible right you know when

00:11:35.220 this survey was taken uh there's a date at the bottom there isn't a date at the bottom it just

00:11:40.500 gives the source because i wonder if this is a relatively old survey it may well might have

00:11:46.900 changed since then it the time doesn't although of course that you know you can still vote for

00:11:51.840 anti-immigration policies without expressing those kinds of views i'm not making that point the point

00:11:56.100 i'm making is that this basically has allowed sweden to be taken advantage of they at one point

00:12:02.100 had attitudes like this it doesn't matter what time it is really it's is previous to all of this stuff

00:12:06.760 being passed i think but i feel like my understanding of the situation at least should i say is that sweden

00:12:14.840 was very very welcoming they're very open in a sort of naive european sense of well we're friendly with

00:12:21.120 you know other european countries why not open the door to more people but then they realize oh wait

00:12:26.700 actually european people are perhaps a lot less likely to commit crime than other people and we can

00:12:34.020 see that from this sort of thing so they've got the second highest crime rate um gun crime rate in

00:12:41.800 europe after albania which of course exports criminals that is their main export and this is from gang

00:12:47.360 violence uh mainly yes i think it must be all those viking clans so look at that albania um 1.00

00:12:54.680 bloody hell on our sandwiches uh bosnia and herzegovnia between sweden i said that the wrong

00:13:00.480 way around but you get the idea sweden seems like an anomaly in the top three there because it's sort

00:13:04.940 of uh you know balkan countries adriatic countries that you might expect it from muslim countries and then

00:13:12.420 also northern ireland which has some history yeah well there's a lot of uh firearms around that part

00:13:20.220 of the world aren't there and so it's also worth mentioning this isn't in the guardian article 55

00:13:25.580 people were shot dead in 2023 um in sweden and between norway finland and denmark combined there

00:13:34.280 were six and uh sweden only has an official population and i say official of 10.5 million

00:13:40.920 so it's quite a small population relative to say united states is or uh the uk and relative to how

00:13:49.840 big the country is as well although i'm sure they're all condensed in a few population centers it's weighted

00:13:54.580 heavily down the southern side isn't it and so you can get figures like this number of homicides in

00:14:01.020 sweden and you can see a general trend towards it increasing if you were to draw a line from 2013

00:14:06.940 to 2023 over that 10 year span there's an obvious trend here isn't there and of course what is the

00:14:14.920 main shift in swedish culture well there are less swedes is what's happening and now there is more crime 1.00

00:14:21.520 so there's obviously a problem here and of course there is uh the much sought after swedish crime data

00:14:28.860 that breaks it down by rough um ethnicity here and i've so here we have the african countries um

00:14:37.680 obviously disproportionately represented as they are in all european countries and also you've got

00:14:43.640 um that's south and i think south america here central america and then you see us and canada

00:14:50.220 these are all overrepresented relative to the native population and i think that's the you know countries

00:14:56.620 within the eu and then look at what is the difference between the darker and the lighter line

00:15:02.260 so it explains it here so darker color shows the native borns were two foreign born parents and

00:15:08.040 by second generations while the lighter color shows foreign borns

00:15:12.220 so whether they're you know second generation or first generation so most of them the second

00:15:17.820 generation are actually more likely to be violent yes they're not integrating they're doing the 0.99

00:15:21.800 opposite in fact they're becoming more violent uh not less except for central asian for some reason 0.98

00:15:27.820 uh just one anomaly but also you've got more data here um which um this is only foreign borns

00:15:35.840 and uh this is talking about various adjustments i think it's for age sex and disposable income and

00:15:44.220 education and you can still see that africa uh central asian uh i think it's west asian so and then

00:15:53.780 yeah south american lots of them are overrepresented relative to european countries and uh an easier

00:16:01.300 body of data that has been translated into english is the danish data which reflects similar things um

00:16:08.920 i think that in the swedish data obviously there's a greater overrepresentation of africans but there

00:16:15.360 was still a massive overrepresentation for middle eastern countries and that's reflected in neighboring

00:16:20.240 denmark as well with i'm quite surprised that kuwait tops it there and these are not this data is not

00:16:26.660 adjusted for age or sex but kuwait tunisia lebanon somalia jordan uganda morocco iraq algeria those are the

00:16:34.740 some of the top countries um you've also got ethiopia in there but then you you start looking

00:16:41.320 at these darker blue countries these are the the western countries all down here so orange is africa 0.63

00:16:48.020 um red is the menapt thing but japan is right at the bottom with it is no barely barely registering any

00:16:56.980 figures whatsoever yeah united kingdom france finland all sort of grouped together all these european

00:17:02.700 countries croatia for some reason off next to brazil but you know russia and they've got even

00:17:07.840 got data for the soviet union there so they've even got old data included here so this is hang

00:17:13.540 on a minute 2010 to 2021 um and they've got the soviet union what's going on here um maybe it's just

00:17:20.140 their country of origin so they came from the former soviet union but um you get the idea right i was

00:17:27.320 going to say because it's got yugoslavia up at the top as well it does yeah so i'm guessing it's

00:17:32.220 people who'd moved there that still claim that ethnicity but you get the point um that in

00:17:39.500 scandinavian countries this this trend is mirrored and across all of europe really because this mirrors

00:17:44.700 the same sort of trends that we get in the uk as well and sweden's crime rate is now the highest in

00:17:51.680 northern europe just overall and so this was uh i think yes 2023 or 2023 there's a camera in the way

00:18:00.540 so i have to shift around you can ask me i've got a nice clear view we're very professional here and

00:18:06.660 uh let's actually talk about the reality because of course we've obviously outlined the problem we've

00:18:12.260 outlined some of the things that they're doing and this notion that they they're now re-migrating

00:18:17.080 foreign-born people do they have an actually net negative migration no um so here's an article that

00:18:24.840 talks about it um it is in swedish but i have translated it into english and uh i'm going to

00:18:30.520 read a little bit from it um the fact that sweden had a net emigration um between january and may does

00:18:37.080 not necessarily mean that there were more emigrants than immigrants in those months

00:18:40.460 um statistics sweden's press officer johan claris told the the same yes uh the reason is that since

00:18:48.240 last summer the swedish tax agency has been cleaning it up its population register in order to de-register

00:18:53.220 people who are incorrectly registered in the country something the minister of migration also

00:18:57.560 addressed during his press conference so this totals um 18,695 people and um if i scroll up here

00:19:08.640 where has it gone we can have a look there's a nice little graph here looking at each quarters

00:19:14.260 i think each month it seems like those figures could account for this because that um that people

00:19:21.940 the number of people being struck off the register is from june of last year to you know and they're

00:19:27.560 being included in emigration figures i'm assuming so it might be relatively close and it does seem to

00:19:34.720 have disincentivized asylum seekers and because they're making it harder and potential immigration as well

00:19:40.340 but the problem's still not solved people certainly aren't leaving um at rates that are being claimed

00:19:46.460 that much we can say for certain but it seems to me that there's a rather significant number of people

00:19:52.020 being struck off and that is what is accounting for this in the in the first place and it's difficult

00:19:57.340 to know exactly because you need a better breakdown of the data and i can't access that in english

00:20:02.520 but um lots and lots of people actually talked about this as yes this is a great victory this is

00:20:08.020 proof that these policies work um and i'm going to name and shame them um but you know many of these

00:20:14.500 people i like so it's no no bad feelings but uh it's understandable if you didn't end up going to

00:20:20.500 a very specific swedish website that had those kinds of figures and that information when most of

00:20:24.740 the english language coverage of it has been on the leftist side fear-mongering saying typically

00:20:31.060 because of course the leftist perspective is not we need to help these people it's we need to just

00:20:35.900 stuff them all in as quickly as possible so we can utterly destroy the culture of this country because 0.98

00:20:42.720 that's the underlying reason for it so they're just fear-mongering so they can try and get more

00:20:48.400 immigrants in as quickly as possible exactly so here we have national conservative talking about this

00:20:54.600 um saying now there's net immigration and it's not true so because we at loadseaters do our

00:21:01.020 research we can we can report on fake news even better than the bbc because i think they talked

00:21:05.640 about it as well paul joseph watson um did uh steve laws did uh zoom historian did um peter sweden did

00:21:14.240 he's even got sweden in his name and uh also some outlets that i quite like did as well the publica did

00:21:20.540 um the european conservative did although they did issue a retraction so they said well hang on a

00:21:27.900 minute not so fast uh actually it's a cleanup of the population register i do think to try to um

00:21:36.580 steel man some of these positions obviously some of the information that they were reporting on

00:21:41.120 turns out not to have been quite as positive as they first thought the very fact that sweden is

00:21:46.540 making these moves putting these ideas out into the public is in and of itself a positive move i was

00:21:54.040 about to say that exact thing you've you've read my mind for like the millionth time now today

00:21:58.860 so we're just on the same wavelength but overall i think actually you know sweden's doing a relatively

00:22:05.080 good job of moving in a good direction and sort of leading europe in a way to sorting out these

00:22:10.800 problems because there's no doubt that sweden is suffering the most from mass immigration out of a lot 1.00

00:22:15.420 of european countries looking at the crime rate and you know swedes are very civil civilized people

00:22:21.040 this wouldn't be the native swedes necessarily although i don't doubt that the presence of

00:22:25.800 foreign criminals encourages swedes to join in at a higher rate sort of the broken window effect if you 1.00

00:22:32.100 will so hopefully there is some more tangible uh sort of movements towards remigration i would like to

00:22:40.500 see that and i think that some of the policies being floated although none of them i feel like uh

00:22:46.080 sort of that will definitely work that's great that's going to really help the country they're

00:22:50.380 all signaling a good direction and of course it could be a similar situation where you know you've

00:22:55.880 got the conservative party in the uk where they signaled about well we're sending people to rwanda

00:23:00.200 to process them and getting rid of them well it's all just a pr ploy maybe things will amount to that

00:23:06.740 but i don't know but i think certainly keeping an eye on what's going on in sweden um is going to be

00:23:12.000 very important because i think once one european country does something it makes it acceptable for

00:23:17.320 other european countries to do it we saw it in covid follow through yes and we saw it in covid we saw it

00:23:22.940 in lots of other um different policy decisions and so i think that that's how a lot of european

00:23:28.920 politics functions it's sort of there's a prime mover and then all of a sudden it's a bit more

00:23:33.900 acceptable to do these things and hopefully sweden sort of spearheads this because they have the most

00:23:39.120 to gain from solving these problems all right mouse would you like the mouse as well yes go on then

00:23:48.760 that was like a really cursed um thing of uh you know the touch of god thank you oh 0.99

00:24:03.620 i've just given the editors so many stupid faces 0.99

00:24:06.580 oh i'm waiting for lotus eaters out of context hello one moment we've got to have a little pepsi break 0.99

00:24:17.240 sponsor us if you'd like don't like we're gonna get sponsored by pepsi

00:24:23.280 pepsi have decided that they're taking a radical new direction with their branding

00:24:27.720 hey coca-cola can make fanta for the mid-century germans yeah pepsi's new catchphrase they have to go

00:24:35.600 home of every pepsi we send a migrant home i'll make it happen 1.00

00:24:42.960 anyway all right so uh surprise surprise you don't need me to tell you this but the dnc the democratic

00:24:51.860 national convention happening right as we speak in chicago i think today is the last day is a

00:24:58.540 rousing success no it's a complete freak show that's right everybody who's going to be attending

00:25:04.900 has already attended has given a speech is supporting it monetarily seems to have something

00:25:10.820 wrong in the head no way i never would have guessed this i know i know so i thought i'd go over a little

00:25:17.500 bit of the information of what's been going on i um uh want to point out obviously stelios covered a 0.67

00:25:24.600 bit of it on tuesday some of the ridiculousness i wanted to go over a little bit of the ridiculous

00:25:28.280 ness and then some of the new news coverage of what's been happening and some of the speeches

00:25:33.460 they've been given so first just to confirm everything yes harris is the official nominee now

00:25:38.820 she was um she was nominated after about two weeks since biden dropped out so she is the ticket

00:25:45.860 as is walls i don't know if we'd said that explicitly on the podcast so i wanted to make

00:25:50.540 sure that it is said explicitly just in case you've been hiding under a rock here yeah that yes harris is

00:25:56.640 the nominee and there is um some criticism of what might what her policies might look like what kamala

00:26:04.320 harris's america might look like because there is a rebrand going on right now of the campaign the

00:26:12.640 way that they had to pivot and say that no we're not doing joe biden anymore we're doing kamala harris

00:26:17.560 is interesting because now they're trying to make kamala harris both look competent intense and serious 1.00

00:26:23.340 while also being cool hip relatable personable a person that you could run into in the street and

00:26:32.140 get along with and have a normal conversation with and not a shrieking awful harpy have you mentioned

00:26:39.300 the fact that um there was a report i believe it was leaked to the press of lots of democrats were

00:26:46.200 encouraging kamala not to release her policies until after the election i'd not seen that i thought

00:26:53.280 you were going to talk about some of the reports that were coming from within her own campaign and

00:26:56.720 within her own offices that she'd worked out while she was in the vice presidency of people saying that

00:27:01.380 she was an absolute nightmare to work with swore at everybody constantly was incredibly rude and 1.00

00:27:06.740 difficult to get along with i could never see that i mean not our kamala no way not not not our kamala

00:27:13.660 no way not our harris no the way he said that um no i've i've not been made aware of that to be fair

00:27:22.860 what are her policies uh well she stole one from donald trump didn't she no tax on tips yes because i've 0.99

00:27:32.060 seen some criticism from the economist of what her foreign policy and what her economic policies

00:27:37.580 might be that say that they threaten to be even worse than joe biden's economic policies what's

00:27:43.980 she doing just going around torching factories deliberately how could it be worse possibly

00:27:49.900 stealing change from the homeless that's not gonna i know that would win me that would win your vote i

00:27:55.660 know it would improve the economy yeah but she is saying that she's going to be tough on the border

00:28:00.260 she's uh there was a recent advert at the beginning of august saying fixing the border is tough and so

00:28:05.940 is kamala harris which completely ignores that while she was border czar she let in 10 million 0.96

00:28:11.940 illegal aliens that's no small number is it i mean it it i mean there was two million in the entire time

00:28:18.500 of of trump's presidency and she also uh which is the exact same number as kamala harris's known

00:28:25.940 getaways so i presume these are people they may have picked up and then they somehow managed to

00:28:31.620 evade being put back america's a big country yes but one of the things that's really funny to me so

00:28:39.280 obviously she's trying to be tough she's trying to be serious she's going to be the president that 1.00

00:28:43.200 america needs to get it back on track she's going to be the president that the country needs to make 1.00

00:28:48.560 them um serious on the geopolitical landscape again which is what we were told that joe biden was going to

00:28:54.960 be but then he came out and was a dribbling senile old man so i don't know how that affected america's

00:29:01.600 international standing along with the afghanistan disaster of course well i suppose it does show

00:29:06.980 that no matter who's in office the government still runs mysteriously it's almost like the president is

00:29:11.520 not that powerful he is still president let's not forget that's true what's he doing they've

00:29:16.820 basically admitted by having him drop out of the race that he's not fit for the presidency

00:29:21.100 so he's still president why is that he's feeling a lot of diapers in his spare time

00:29:28.320 that's what keeps the economy going is uh joe biden cleanup so they've been posting weird videos

00:29:35.000 like this and yeah i'm gonna i'm gonna say the weird word because yes these people do come across

00:29:39.700 them it's very strange because their whole tactic has been trying to call um jd vance and donald trump

00:29:47.080 and all of the people around them as being weird and trying to turn the conversation around and say

00:29:53.080 that oh these are the weirdos who are trying to put politics in your living room these are the weirdos

00:29:57.480 who are trying to well of course it's projection because i mean look look at this this is the sort

00:30:02.980 of videos that they're putting up oh doritos acquired i got

00:30:05.720 now there's there's nothing inherently wrong with something like this well yeah they're pretending to

00:30:21.280 be friends they're pretending to be normal people going to a supermarket and passing each other crisps

00:30:26.460 but it's the fact that it's so phony it's so fake it's so disingenuous that these are just

00:30:34.020 normal people we're just normal just like you we could be friends with you look at how normal and

00:30:39.880 cool we are comes across as well again fake i think that also going for that style of campaign just

00:30:46.860 doesn't work because as you can see in the background wherever they go they have a massive

00:30:51.240 security detail you you can't walk into a room and the atmosphere not change if you come with

00:30:58.500 a bunch of suited and armed people yeah yeah and they've done it before this is this is basically

00:31:05.160 a repeat of videos that they've done so this seems to be a specific tactic they're going for to try and

00:31:11.540 make themselves look normal but this one's even worse because i mean you can see the entourage and

00:31:17.140 people filming them going we like eating snacks just like you do hello fellow americans aren't we

00:31:23.720 normal are you going to be voting for us we've got doritos do you like doritos too well then you better

00:31:29.880 vote harris i like your favorite seed oil snack same as you vote for me again it comes across as fake

00:31:37.960 corporate phony whatever you want to describe it as but it's very strange to me but that's politics

00:31:43.720 all politics is fake it's all people who probably hate you in secret trying to be your friend

00:31:49.260 and get and then you know once they've got your vote they'll stab you in trust your gut as they

00:31:54.000 always do this is one of the most hilarious things i've ever seen which is the vice presidential nominee

00:31:58.740 tim waltz talking about how the democrats are going to get politics out of your living room

00:32:04.200 some of us who have less hair and are old enough can remember when you could go to thanksgiving

00:32:10.280 watch a stealer's game with your relatives and not complain about politics the whole time

00:32:18.060 not be on each other's neck because you shared a commitment to democracy a commitment to personal

00:32:24.840 freedom a commitment to public education a commitment to infrastructure who's not committed

00:32:31.660 to infrastructure it's very strange these talking points like you'd be sat at the dinner table

00:32:37.140 talking about your commitment to infrastructure together and your commitment to democracy like

00:32:42.600 they're all sat around the dinner table and obviously a typical american conversation is you're all

00:32:46.840 discussing the um particularities of democracy in america by alexia de toqueville that was the

00:32:52.500 average they're eating your you know your thanksgiving dinner and you're just like so big fan of the

00:32:59.400 sanitation system in the city it's lovely isn't it oh i love it it's great i love that the toilets flush

00:33:04.840 do you remember when the toilets didn't flush oh it was a nightmare thank god for the democrats under

00:33:09.000 the nasty republicans the toilets never flushed it was basically new deli down here and um yeah it's

00:33:15.960 very ironic and very strange again that that sort of talking point would be coming from a democrat these 0.98

00:33:22.480 are the people who have been flooding your country with illegal immigrants for years at this point these

00:33:27.720 are the people that are very eager for your dinner table to be filled with conversation of how your son is

00:33:32.520 about to be your daughter about how your son thinks that he might like pps actually uh all these sorts

00:33:38.580 of strange uncomfortable conversations in schools more generally pushing politics in schools how your

00:33:44.000 son has come back from school and he's six years old but he went into the local library at the school

00:33:48.400 and found a picture of people performing fellatio on one another these are the people who wanted to put

00:33:54.300 that in but they're trying to flip it around and pretend that they're the normal ones that this is

00:33:59.020 just how politics has always worked in the country it's the same tactic that schmidt and other people

00:34:03.820 have pointed out that in the democratic conversation they want to present some subjects as being

00:34:08.840 settled so that they're beyond the touch of normal conversation in in politics almost nothing is ever

00:34:15.580 settled that's sort of the real politic of it is that nothing is sacrosanct in politics everything is

00:34:22.700 subject to change which is one of the problems of politics really isn't it well it's all about the

00:34:27.120 competing vision of uh how you should how you should live your life the governance of a particular

00:34:32.820 area and that the base of it can descend into violence essentially two existential threats to

00:34:40.420 one another facing off committing violence to try and assert their vision of the world and so politics

00:34:46.120 is basically the polite facade that you pop on top of that and this whole method is saying no no no we've

00:34:52.640 settled this put it aside this you don't want to talk about this at the dinner table with your weird

00:34:57.460 uncle do you so don't worry about it we've got it guys but again these are the people who want your

00:35:02.960 son to know that it's okay for him to chop his winky off because at seven years old he's more than 0.99

00:35:07.640 capable of knowing whether he's a girl or a boy and waltz himself is a strange figure because he seems to 0.56

00:35:13.240 be somewhat of a compulsive liar now i've seen him make a lot of claims that people of fact checks about

00:35:18.120 very small things here and there that don't seem to matter as much but the big one that i've seen

00:35:22.840 people point out that i didn't know when i was talking about waltz before was that he has been

00:35:28.060 accused of stolen valor through his claims regarding to his military career so he served in the national

00:35:34.940 army guard for 24 years but he retired from his artillery battalion and abandoned more than 500 men

00:35:40.000 under his command two months before it deployed to iraq in 2005 now from reports that i've seen who spoke

00:35:46.140 to the people who were under his command at the time it was a bit of a what the hell moment when

00:35:52.920 they were all about to be deployed and he's like anyway guys bye see ya hope you don't get blown up

00:35:58.940 yeah that's the last thing you want in someone ruling you know over what ruling over no commanding

00:36:06.440 sorry 500 people so i mean i'm kind of glad for the people he was commanding that he wasn't there

00:36:12.760 because if he's craven then it's better for everyone he not be involved but he should also

00:36:18.720 never be able to escape that reputation if that's what he wanted to do especially because there has

00:36:23.920 been a lot of misreporting and as they say in here him misspeaking during his first run for statewide

00:36:30.740 office in 2018 when he claimed that he'd carried weapons of war in war and he'd earlier implied during

00:36:36.060 his congressional races that he deployed to a combat zone such as afghanistan when in fact he had

00:36:41.640 deployed to italy briefly as part of operation enduring freedom before leaving the national guard

00:36:46.460 so he has done some service but not the service that he was implying he wasn't i know italy can

00:36:52.540 be a bit dangerous sometimes if you especially if you're driving but it's not a war zone maybe it was

00:36:59.080 when he was there who knows i don't know i'm not an expert on geopolitics so yeah that's very strange

00:37:04.840 should immediately mean that a lot of people don't trust him because if he's willing to

00:37:08.980 lie by omission lie by ignorance then that's not a great sign but then again he is a politician

00:37:15.460 there's also this incredible rolling stone tweet that they put out that's the genius work of this

00:37:22.340 one small bit of harris waltz merch the camouflage hat reclaims the rural and southern identity that

00:37:28.700 mainstream democrats have long ignored with this one woman in a waltz harris camouflage hat so more hats 0.89

00:37:36.180 equals more votes isn't that a relative of kamala harris is that was it her niece or something like

00:37:43.220 that it kind of she has the weird um artsy girl tattoos that her relative had i don't know but if it

00:37:51.680 is a member of the harris family it makes it funnier that that's the but it says that dems are finally

00:37:56.300 embracing country music fans what by having a camouflage hat by having a single camouflage

00:38:01.660 hat on sale i uh i've listened to a fair amount of country music i don't remember many country

00:38:07.020 musicians wearing democrat party camo hats again if you want to talk about southern identity i mean

00:38:12.760 these are the same sorts of people along with many other mainstream democrats who were cheering on

00:38:18.520 pulling down robert lee statues probably very very happy to have you harassed for having a

00:38:24.700 confederate flag outside of your house or on your window or something but they got camouflage hat

00:38:31.480 hmm come on they got camouflage hat can you say no can you say no yes yes you can say no and the

00:38:39.520 only tactic that they really have against somebody like jd vance is calling him weird for pictures

00:38:44.660 like this he's weird jd vance poses with the three high school girls in a boys restroom as they pretend

00:38:50.720 to use the urinals as he plays out the democrats vision of america right here women at the urinals 1.00

00:38:57.360 while a man watches on yeah he does look a bit goofy and a bit funny in this picture but this is i mean

00:39:03.440 he's in high school yeah this is what they can do so tim waltz basically lies about his uh military

00:39:10.960 record jd vance has fun with girls in high school now there has been some theories that they might just be

00:39:17.380 jealous that jd vance evidently knew women in high school and was friends with them which many

00:39:22.140 democrat voters can't say that they had the same they usually like to become them they like to become

00:39:28.260 the women you are correct uh but then again that also is part of the sting because they're thinking 0.99

00:39:32.680 god that could have been me standing at that urinal so that the whole weird tactic that whole campaign

00:39:39.220 where they're trying to call him weird which was started by waltz really comes across as untrue

00:39:44.180 disingenuous mainly because i mean they're freaks they're dysgenic weirdos

00:39:52.780 these are lyrics to creep by radiohead it's the new extreme version that i'm going to be writing

00:40:00.740 and covering but let's go over to the dnc right now so one of the things that stelios reported on

00:40:05.700 earlier on this week is that planned parenthood were providing free vasectomies

00:40:10.400 and abortion abortion pills during the democrat national convention and the pop-up care aligns

00:40:16.320 with kamala harris's adamant abortion platform democrat nominee is in favor of legalizing abortion

00:40:21.760 nationwide so completely disregarding states rights putting it as part of the constitution probably

00:40:27.340 signing it into the bill of rights previously calling it a fundamental freedom in an ns msnbc interview

00:40:35.240 now i'm somebody who thinks that abortion is demonic i think you are killing children i know

00:40:40.460 that not everybody agrees with me on that but i also have to be pragmatic and um and uh yeah

00:40:47.800 pragmatic when i say things like this which is don't interrupt your enemies when they're making a

00:40:52.380 mistake on some level wokeism leftism is a uh a genetic phenomenon shall we say so if these people want

00:41:02.940 to take themselves out of the gene pool as sad and as awful as i think it is i'm not going to stop

00:41:09.380 them because there is nothing that i could do to stop them anyway obviously it's evil that these

00:41:13.820 children are being hurt in the process of doing so but there's nothing that i can do to help those

00:41:18.860 children and these women being evil enough to do that means that maybe they shouldn't be having 1.00

00:41:28.300 children in the first place and you can tell how evil this whole thing is because they've got this

00:41:32.900 abortion truck where apparently 25 have already been performed and that was as of yesterday morning

00:41:38.500 so there'll have been more probably double that since then but i think actually james kirkpatrick has

00:41:43.580 an excellent tweet in regards to this because uh let's see jack posobeck went around asking these

00:41:50.500 people how many abortions have you had today this woman screeches about it and you know we on the right 1.00

00:41:55.400 we turn around and we say haha we really showed them but let's be honest here as james says the

00:42:00.160 attempt to shame these people or reveal true beliefs to them doesn't work i uh he says good clickbait but

00:42:06.700 i guarantee she felt virtuous and high status afterwards the only way you can actually challenge 0.99

00:42:10.620 their self-image is a deadpan response like i think it's good people like you kill their kids now

00:42:15.700 that's a bit too nasty for me it's not for me i i know not for you but for me now when it's people who 0.97

00:42:21.600 are saying i'm never going to have children you shouldn't have children children are evil children

00:42:26.300 are bad i will be turning to them and this is something i've thought for a while now and saying

00:42:31.080 good you shouldn't have children you'd be a terrible mother you'd be a terrible father you would neglect 0.97

00:42:37.200 your children you'd raise them to believe in the sick disgusting things that you do and it's better 0.96

00:42:42.020 off that you completely take yourself out of the gene pool well when it comes to the welfare of

00:42:46.280 children i think speaking very bluntly to people who might potentially be parents who aren't suited to it

00:42:51.460 and just say yeah i don't think you're good enough to be a parent it's a brutal thing it's very cutting i

00:42:56.120 think it cuts at a sort of almost biological level because mysteriously that's you know one of the

00:43:02.260 things we're you know deeply programmed to do and so saying these things might be unpleasant but i think

00:43:08.120 we should start saying them that yes if you believe in this insanity if you believe in all of this

00:43:15.320 nonsense that you can do and you know you can change biology by merely thinking then yeah you

00:43:22.240 shouldn't be a parent absolutely and and if you advocate and support abortion for everybody if you

00:43:27.360 think that killing your unborn children is a good thing then yes i wish that you hadn't got pregnant in 1.00

00:43:33.940 the first place because you shouldn't have been having children maybe you should have just been more 0.91

00:43:38.300 careful what's happened is tragic um but it's best that you don't pass your beliefs on to others

00:43:43.880 of course then you get to the other problem which is a lot of these women are probably in care roles 1.00

00:43:48.220 probably in teaching roles and at that point you get to the discussion of well you shouldn't be

00:43:52.960 influencing other people's children to believe those things stay away from my kids yeah and that

00:43:57.600 should be the policy generally yeah and that's a that's a policy question right there uh carrying on

00:44:03.320 there is the comedy coming from here including these women who start the national anthem just a little 0.99

00:44:09.800 bit too early and that leads to this they're not great singers in the first place apologies

00:44:16.200 you can hear in the back the track starting 0.79

00:44:24.520 i haven't even got a knife i'm gonna go full van gogh and cut off both ears 0.57

00:44:39.140 you're gonna go double van gogh that's right times two uh so yeah i don't think they forgot the lyrics

00:44:46.060 but they did start too early so very funny funny that people who hate america can't even sing their

00:44:52.940 own national anthem i'm not all that surprised if i'm honest there were these people standing

00:44:57.580 around outside the democrat national convention who basically said yes we want we want the great

00:45:02.860 replacement if it could happen right now it'd be amazing my choice in my perfect world every

00:45:08.920 republican is out of the country and all the immigrants come in that's what i want it's never 1.00

00:45:13.260 gonna happen that's what i want but we're all immigrants we all came from somewhere else

00:45:16.140 what's what's the qualifying for all the immigrants who's all the immigrants this is

00:45:25.360 the whole world this is that opinion that people put forward that basically everybody's an undocumented

00:45:30.960 undocumented american somewhere down the line everybody's just an american in waiting the

00:45:36.800 country's big enough to take the entire population if you crush them down into tiny particles and put

00:45:43.000 them in an enormous blender then america can actually fit trillions more people inside of it

00:45:48.680 so we should invite everybody the second you an ai the second that martians arrive if the aliens

00:45:54.520 finally descend as they supposedly did in mexico but everybody ignores that because it was obvious bs

00:45:59.780 um the second the aliens arrive well congratulations you're an american except for the republicans then we

00:46:07.180 can have boundaries on what does and doesn't mean american the way things are going in britain i might have

00:46:12.120 to cross the southern border at this right you probably have more luck than trying to apply

00:46:18.020 legally then again maybe not maybe not there were people going up and giving speeches repeating the

00:46:24.960 bleach lie that during donald trump's presidency during the covid period that he said that people

00:46:30.400 should inject bleach so that they could cure themselves of covid that's nothing that donald trump said

00:46:35.700 but these people lie and a lot of the speeches seem to be harping just on donald trump there doesn't seem to

00:46:41.860 be much discussion of how america is going to be better under the democrats just saying that 0.99

00:46:46.880 donald trump will literally come to your house and murder you and inject you with bleach into your 0.99

00:46:51.880 eyeballs so vote for us because we're normal we eat doritos just like you yeah well guess what 0.99

00:46:57.900 donald trump eats mcdonald's far more american far more american people saying that donald trump

00:47:04.760 would be able to weaponize the department of justice more projection this woman giving a little um 1.00

00:47:11.160 poem should we listen to the poem sure go on then we gather at this hollowed place because we believe

00:47:21.280 in the american dream yeah we face a race that tests if this country we cherish shall perish from the earth 0.98

00:47:31.460 and if our earth shall perish from this country it falls to us to ensure that we do not fall

00:47:41.480 for a people that cannot stand together cannot stand at i'm sure it sounded great when she was 1.00

00:47:49.560 practicing it in the mirror is didn't she mean hallowed not hollowed hallowed and yes what does

00:47:56.500 the earth and if our earth shall perish from this country like the united states is soil disappears

00:48:04.900 overnight the united states is going to untether from the planet and floats off into space borderlands

00:48:12.560 too where there's a city levitates you know bioshock infinite perhaps yeah maybe maybe i mean

00:48:18.580 i don't know takes off into the skies they're not sending their best no i think i think we can all

00:48:24.200 except they're not sending their best although this isn't to say that trust me i saw some of the

00:48:27.800 clips coming from the rnc there was a lot of cringe coming from there as well american big american

00:48:34.820 political conventions are non-stop cringe fests and it doesn't matter which side of the aisle that 0.99

00:48:41.040 you're on you are not immune to it and it's the same over here as well whenever you get the big

00:48:46.960 labor meeting each year which i'm sad i don't think that we had any edit of it this year we didn't

00:48:52.560 know no they're they're always horrifying and cringeworthy favorite moment was when they said

00:48:58.100 comrade chair and they pan to a guy in a wheelchair that never failed to tickle me oh here's here's my

00:49:06.500 favorite one though here's my favorite one this this funny looking gentleman here we go as a redditor

00:49:14.040 gamer gamer entrepreneur and swifty from the free state of colorado

00:49:20.700 i'm excited by kamala harris's vision for protecting and expanding our personal freedom internet freedom

00:49:30.500 and economic freedom democrats welcome weird but we're not weirdos telling families who can and can't

00:49:40.160 have kids who to marry or how to live our lives these project 2025 people like trump and vance are not

00:49:50.480 just weird they're dangerous they want to take us backwards but we aren't going back like ever ever ever

00:50:00.320 i wouldn't let him near my children

00:50:04.320 as a redditor i even got the the taylor swift reference but that is the lamest thing for a man

00:50:13.380 of his age to reference what about connor's age that too connor's gonna have to revoke his swifty card

00:50:23.980 after that one so he's a redditor gamer and a swifty so someone should be checking his hard drive

00:50:33.260 anyway what's the reporting been saying about this well oprah oprah winfrey who i still don't

00:50:40.240 understand the appeal of oprah i don't understand why she is such an icon in america but she gave a

00:50:45.560 speech there and she described herself as a political independent who always votes her values

00:50:51.740 her values it just so happens that they're always democratic aren't they yeah it just so happens

00:50:56.480 they always tow the democrat party line according to the washington post

00:51:01.420 winfrey offered a largely apolitical speech

00:51:05.860 and you can't talk about politics in an apolitical way so the washington post is towing the line with

00:51:13.360 this new democratic party line of we're normal we talk about the things that are normal our policies

00:51:19.180 are completely business as usual it's the republicans that are the extremists whereas

00:51:24.520 the republicans um oftentimes outside of and maybe even including trump are as always still democrats

00:51:32.880 five years ago that's how these things always operate i was very critical of the rnc how they

00:51:37.960 had an only fans model get up and give a speech i don't think that the republicans if they want to

00:51:43.220 actually stand for any values should be promoting things like that i also don't like that i've been

00:51:47.180 seeing clips of donald trump saying that when he's in presidency they're going to increase legal

00:51:52.320 immigration to rates never before seen he's going to pull back the illegal immigration protect the

00:51:58.100 borders but also increase legal immigration i don't think that's good i think again that's

00:52:03.420 demographic replacement through a different means that the democrats do it so i don't think the

00:52:08.660 republicans are entirely without criticism i think they should be heavily criticized for a lot of

00:52:13.720 what they do um but seriously the democrats are awful you're not going to get any better and it will 0.99

00:52:19.920 in fact be worse under the democrats especially given that these are the people who are insane 0.97

00:52:25.440 revolutionaries who want to upend your life and change everything about the way that you are able

00:52:31.040 to live your life and then present it like it's always been the normal thing but uh winfrey carried on

00:52:37.700 to say that she was um calling for joy and decency and emphasized common sense over nonsense let us

00:52:44.820 choose the sweet promise of tomorrow over the bitter return to yesterday we won't go back we won't be

00:52:50.740 set back pushed back bullied back kicked back we're not going back and she described at times of having

00:52:55.940 been on the receiving end of racism sexism and income inequality oh income inequality one of the

00:53:03.820 richest women to ever live whose wealth and luxury would put european kings and queens to shame and 1.00

00:53:13.320 even potentially her political influence through her media career um says that she's been the victim

00:53:18.920 of income inequality this is what we mean when we say that these people come across as disingenuous

00:53:23.120 liars nobody is going to be convinced by win oprah winfrey getting up and so well actually no i'm wrong

00:53:29.660 i'm sure plenty of absolute retards are convinced by oprah winfrey saying i saying i've been through 0.99

00:53:36.540 hard times i know what it's like to not get paid as much as my male colleagues she says dabbing her

00:53:42.400 tears with hundred dollar bills sat on a pile of gold bars i like as well that she used the word joy

00:53:48.100 which has been used by all of the left-wing press in everything and she's also clearly picked up that

00:53:56.480 memo as well it's probably that gender euphoria that they're supposedly experiencing when they 1.00

00:54:00.500 take that first hit of testosterone and if you could you know throw some my way need some gains

00:54:05.900 anyway and they also had the continuing worship of black women as is the democrats real party mantra

00:54:12.620 which is we love our black women they had michelle obama who recently if i drew a picture of her that 1.00

00:54:19.400 was 100 accurate i would get arrested for in the uk just just to say that uh she was standing before

00:54:27.440 an adoring crowd and uh she was uh referencing the parallels between her black american story and

00:54:34.280 kamala's person of color immigrant story now it seems that the new york times has decided to pull

00:54:39.500 back on her being a black american quite american quite as much because donald trump's been quite

00:54:43.640 effective at going i thought she was indian a few years ago she was saying she was indian she was

00:54:48.340 campaigning on being indian but now she's black which one is it kamala uh she said her mother is

00:54:54.660 like mine and they say if you trust michelle you can trust kamala so i can't trust kamala then 0.95

00:55:00.340 that was that was the gist most of us will never be afforded the grace of falling forward we'll never

00:55:07.480 benefit from the affirmative action of generational wealth like donald trump

00:55:11.540 black americans complaining about not having access to affirmative action are you kidding me 0.54

00:55:18.660 also so the former first lady of the country one of the most influential people in democratic party 1.00

00:55:26.620 politics part of the family that was one of the big linchpins is why biden isn't running for this

00:55:31.540 next campaign says that oh i'm so oppressed also it just sounds pathetic to the rest of the world i know

00:55:38.440 this is an outside perspective but black americans have one of the highest standards of living in the 0.57

00:55:43.900 world so when you're talking about being all this poor impoverished thing no you're not um you're just

00:55:51.380 resentful of people that have more than you which is a human thing but also stop whining

00:55:56.200 yeah and on on the stop whining point that's all i had to go on so uh democrats please stop whining 0.95

00:56:02.620 nobody thinks you're normal you're all a bunch of freaks stop it on the topic of freaks here we have 0.52

00:56:09.680 a selection oh we got rumble rants oh yeah we'll go through a few of these oh that was such a good 0.94

00:56:14.800 segue i've been blue balls keep that keep that in your head so five dollars thank you very much

00:56:19.820 threadnaught says i like to say your kind shouldn't be allowed to breed anyway

00:56:23.360 two dollars bald eagle 1787 says her new tax policy is class warfare they want to tax unrealized 1.00

00:56:32.640 gains on capital gains on top of an increasing the tax on unrealized gains if that gets passed

00:56:38.700 the u.s will become a third world country so how many times is that same dollar being taxed again

00:56:44.660 and again and again yeah that's ridiculous of course you're going to push people who are part of

00:56:50.140 businesses and corporations even though i'm not a fan of big business or corporations but my god 0.75

00:56:54.380 you're going to push them away jack street jones did anybody see lc drunk harris she reminds me of

00:57:00.420 chandler bing's girlfriend janice litman gorelnik i didn't see drunk harris also i've i've only watched

00:57:07.120 friends two or three times so that is a very deep reference for me and threadnaught for five dollars

00:57:12.220 again says congratulations harry on the exorcism i don't know i didn't know josh was able to perform one 0.95

00:57:18.200 it's a little known fact i can also shoot electricity from my fingers oh well you are an evil

00:57:23.900 sith lord after all so that makes sense also i was thinking before you start you should probably

00:57:27.900 actually get the mouse back oh thank you harry it's a great honor josh

00:57:31.440 reverse exorcism no you took the demon back you gave it back to me there we go

00:57:42.780 so there's been an epidemic of ugly women in video games and here i have a collage of lots of 1.00

00:57:50.460 prominent examples i didn't make this this has been going around online and uh you can just see some of

00:57:55.800 the the strange things that have been inserted into video games to push basically diversity equity and

00:58:02.080 inclusion and i don't know where in that ugliness comes into it but apparently you can't have attractive

00:58:08.420 women anymore they all have to look weird it's the hatred of beauty as a as a principle and also 1.00

00:58:13.800 most of the people pushing these this dei will themselves be horribly ugly women yes so they 1.00

00:58:20.000 can't have women in the games that they're making that are more attractive than them it's that old 1.00

00:58:25.500 chestnut isn't it of stabbing the more attractive one in the back yep even if they're not real even if

00:58:30.540 the models that they use for these games are normal attractive looking women looking at some of those 1.00

00:58:36.520 examples to make them ugly so we've covered assassin's creed recently uh in fact me and harry did

00:58:43.740 harry and i and uh yes it offended lots of japanese people and i i wanted to compare i'd forgotten about

00:58:52.600 this thumbnail that's it assassin's creed tower rome um anyway there's a game that um has succeeded

00:59:03.180 where assassin's creed and lots of other games have failed black myth wukong which is a chinese made 1.00

00:59:08.220 game had 2.3 million almost 2.4 million concurrent players on steam in a 24 hour period one and a half

00:59:18.560 million playing as of two hours ago yes this is the steam charts here this is a pretty huge release

00:59:25.100 for a game that has sort of came from the outside it was i'd never heard of this before i didn't even

00:59:30.440 realize it was trying all of a sudden on my youtube recommended there was just a load of people

00:59:34.520 normal let's play gamers playing this game yeah and it does look like fun it reminds me a little

00:59:41.340 bit of sekiro because it's being touted as like a souls like but i don't think that's quite right

00:59:45.660 it's a bit more is my favorite along with bloodborne so that's a good comparison and it's very well

00:59:51.300 received as well and people have been comparing it to assassin's creed with this one

00:59:56.980 i can finally return to monkey it's just like yes the men would rather play the game with the

01:00:06.400 monkey man uh it doesn't matter necessarily who the character is if the game is good they'll play it

01:00:11.060 and of course the game's based on chinese mythology and is you know tries to come up with some interesting

01:00:16.980 adaptations of it doesn't try and push political messaging it's just supposedly a fun game i haven't

01:00:23.420 played it yet i'm going to wait until it goes on sale it is very interesting to me that after the

01:00:27.120 complete disaster that was the cultural revolution china trying to actively destroy any connection to 0.98

01:00:32.540 its cultural past since then there's been a definite attempt by the government to reclaim that

01:00:37.840 cultural past and pay respect to it well they realized that you need some sort of animating

01:00:42.640 principles to keep people bound together and they're selectively picking parts of their past

01:00:47.140 and overlooking others that might undermine the ccp line so they're sort of cherry picking it um

01:00:53.380 which isn't ideal but it's still better than what our government does which is cherry pick all of the

01:00:58.380 worst parts of the history and then only focus on that yeah and misrepresent it so um it's worth

01:01:06.040 mentioning this tweet from ian miles chungus probably one of the few tweets that he hasn't stolen

01:01:11.320 and actually wrote about because he was originally a video games journalist um where he is summarizing

01:01:18.280 picture is the big chungus bugs bunny with chung's face that's exactly what i was going for 1.00

01:01:24.940 but yes um he steals tweets um

01:01:27.980 he's talking about sweet baby inc which isn't a shell company of jeffrey epstein but a company

01:01:35.200 which as he says is responsible for a lot of dei and wokeness infecting video games today

01:01:40.480 and uh this is one of his few tweets they're actually good uh they're a dei sensitivity

01:01:45.120 reader consultancy group that ensures your game is very woke and these studios are now shutting down

01:01:50.000 because of it as gamers are rejecting this cancer um they're responsible for the woke disaster that

01:01:55.920 are saints row spider-man 2 gotham knights for spoken and making angraboda black in god of war

01:02:02.700 ragnarok which i still haven't played even though um i played the first one not playing ragnarok

01:02:08.540 yeah that one was very good i still haven't completed it because i'm terrible at completing

01:02:13.000 games still haven't completed elden ring you still you still haven't completed el to be fair i've not

01:02:19.000 played shadow of the tree yet nor have i i'm playing through it again for like the very mixed response

01:02:24.520 to it i'm thinking of going back through witcher 3 again you know i've been debating that as well

01:02:28.760 because they had the the graphical remaster recently didn't they yeah chat you can clear me up on this

01:02:34.280 i know that they're remaking the very first witcher game and they're also doing witcher 4 and they've

01:02:39.980 said that witcher 4 will be coming out first the remake will be coming out afterwards i'm worried

01:02:45.380 because i remember back in 2015 witcher 3 got in trouble with all of the usual suspects because it had

01:02:51.760 no representation of people of color it's big shock that a polish game made by polish people about 1.00

01:02:57.840 polish history and polish folklore would include no people of color but i'm worried that they will 1.00

01:03:05.520 now pivot around and try to push it in it could happen all they could say go play you know cg cd

01:03:12.140 project red could say go play cyberpunk that's a game for you you can modify your face in that game

01:03:17.320 to look like a freak they perfect they could do that but please please somebody in the chat i need

01:03:22.440 cope please tell me they're not going to do that to witcher 1 and witcher 4 please but anyway

01:03:28.980 carrying on with chungus's tweet um they push woke nonsense disjointed writing and basically

01:03:33.340 responsible for injecting dei into every recent high profile high profile video game through the

01:03:39.060 inclusion of progress pride flags and blm art and messaging um so yes that's actually quite a good

01:03:44.520 summary of what they do i still love the suicide squad supports trans rights 1.00

01:03:48.900 oh okay all right interesting messaging there even you know mainstream press has picked up on this

01:03:57.340 company and people pushing back against it so they're talking about alan wake 2 which we'll touch

01:04:02.940 on later but um it is worth mentioning that this chinese game that's come from a mobile developer

01:04:09.780 that's never made a pc or console game um that has sort of been a bit trad um has got more

01:04:16.720 concurrent players than all of the the sweet baby ink games combined jeez by a significant margin as

01:04:25.140 well even then suicide squad killed the justice league made by rocksteady formerly a very well

01:04:31.440 respected company made one of the best video game uh superhero trilogies ever in the batman arkham

01:04:37.280 still the all-time peak is only 13 and a half thousand remarkable drop it is yes and uh it's also

01:04:46.680 worth mentioning as well um warner bros um discovery reports game division saw 41 decline in revenue a

01:04:54.600 suicide uh squad killed the justice league has lost over 98 of its players the hemorrhaging players

01:05:01.680 because they're woke no one wants politics shoved down their throats they just want to play good games

01:05:06.920 that's that's it you know that's what game agate was about listen reddit reddit gamers are not the

01:05:12.840 audience they're very loud on reddit they don't buy things they don't support things certainly not

01:05:18.600 deodorant no it's definitely not cream no this is the problem the comics book industry industry ran into

01:05:24.980 is that it suddenly got taken over by wokists and it was entirely pivoted to cater to wokists same with

01:05:33.320 the mcu and other things the problem is those people they post about it on social media they

01:05:38.320 say omg i'm so glad that they support my values they don't actually buy anything they don't support you

01:05:42.940 no they don't also activision blizzard of course responsible for lots of big games

01:05:47.500 have lots and lots of uh interesting initiatives here's a really long list but just to give you a

01:05:53.320 flavor of a few um this is a quote dei are woven into the fabric of all our efforts serving as the

01:05:59.340 cornerstone of our planning process um and they've got a an inclusion strategy map and all sorts of

01:06:05.640 stuff uh yeah ai voice chat moderation to enforce dei compliance with players you've got this long

01:06:12.300 list it's in the reading list if you want to read it all but there are lots and lots of things lots

01:06:16.540 of western well you know blizzard i think is not necessarily western but you know lots of western

01:06:23.500 adjacent countries are doing and it's not really helping and what is happening is that these asian 1.00

01:06:31.740 countries um south korea japan and china are pushing back against the wokeness because it's not nearly as

01:06:39.020 prevalent over there and installing sort of trad values see here on the left a korean made game with

01:06:45.660 an attractive female in armor and on the right an american made game which is concord

01:06:51.820 um i think the one on the left is descendant look at that tank look at that thing look at that

01:06:59.980 beast that absolute unit there's nothing feminine about that whoa nelson mandela needs me

01:07:09.660 and then deep coat right there here's another one mecca break which i think is a chinese game

01:07:17.300 on the left and then on the right these are this is the sort of trad versus soy asian death match 0.51

01:07:24.180 here you knew how bad things really are that's great see i i've said oh well samson approves of

01:07:32.580 mecca break samson is simping for mecca break i wonder why you are simping he said he's he's

01:07:39.460 played it for the gameplay he's been playing it for with one hand um poor samson not very well and

01:07:45.460 he's twisting the knife there um i've spoken about the whole facial thing um over the past year or so

01:07:51.540 since the original trailer for what is it fable 4 came out and they had the reveal of the main

01:07:56.500 character who's hideously ugly and i think it's down to two things one is yes there is definitely an

01:08:02.660 effort to make these female characters in particular uglier and uglier you can just see that in the change 1.00

01:08:07.860 between what is it um horizon forbidden dawn and the sequel where they actively went out of their

01:08:12.900 way to make the main character uglier in the sequel than she was in the original and she wasn't even 1.00

01:08:17.780 attractive in the original i do also think that part of it is down to the fact that some companies

01:08:24.260 really don't use this new facial capture technician technology very well the way that they'll translate

01:08:30.820 character people's faces from the model to the video game because sometimes even people like what

01:08:36.260 was it richard iowadi in the fable 4 trailer looks weird looks like a weird version and i think that's

01:08:42.660 not down to budgetary issues i think that's down to the fact that these people are hiring people who

01:08:46.340 aren't good at their jobs because it'll be dei hires that's true but it is worth mentioning you know

01:08:52.100 as a caveat some companies like square enix and capcom which are sort of captured by the western esg

01:08:58.020 dei thing or bridge these days as it's known uh they're susceptible to this as well so not all uh

01:09:05.860 asian games are created the same yeah i mean they're japanese companies but they also have western

01:09:10.900 divisions so what you'll see is that a lot of these games that have these features in them will be from

01:09:14.980 the western divisions so here's another comparison between mechabreak and concord here is the the

01:09:24.660 all-time player count uh over 10 000 there all-time peak yesterday and then all-time peak for 20 days

01:09:34.580 ago 2388 that's not very many turns out people don't want weird uh units you know i don't understand

01:09:44.340 what even they're going for here it's just a freak show they're going for big muscle woman 1.00

01:09:50.260 and the funny thing is there was a survey done by capcom that is quite revealing uh this is their

01:09:57.940 audience count other under male that's true but uh to look over the camera here male 82 female in a

01:10:07.460 significant minority there so it's almost like your audience might have to shape how you make your game

01:10:13.460 well the funny the one funny thing is is with this as well the the as far as i can tell the actual

01:10:18.660 attempts to try and make it more marketable for women have not worked most women do not play video 1.00

01:10:24.740 games and the women probably included in those figures were probably already playing video games 1.00

01:10:29.460 before there was a push to try and make them more accessible to these women and are probably just as 0.99

01:10:34.100 annoyed that hey i just want to play video games because they're fun i don't want this politics pushed

01:10:39.620 in my face most women i know that play video games actually play good video games as well like red dead 1.00

01:10:46.100 or i don't know elden ring or things like that right yeah so here's what people want in their

01:10:52.900 audience exhilarating gameplay in the world is ranked number one and in japan unique and attractive

01:10:58.580 characters is number one however that's still second for the world and exhilarating gameplay is second

01:11:05.300 for japan so they just swapped around attractive characters only won by seven points that's true it was

01:11:11.060 rigged it was a neck and neck battle there but people want unique and attractive characters people

01:11:16.900 want their characters to be attractive uh and uh also the favorite character yes dante from devil may

01:11:24.820 cry and the favorite title is also devil may cry 5 amazing game everyone should play everybody should

01:11:31.300 play all of the devil may cry games except for the second one the second one's terrible but yes it is

01:11:38.180 being pushed in spite of what the audience want because dante they're not a weird amorphous black 1.00

01:11:46.020 woman unit mini fridge mega fridge actually he is a man that looks kind of cool that's that's what 0.85

01:11:54.020 people want in video games he's also fun and wears a silly hat and dances and eats pizza he's he's a ninja

01:12:00.420 turtle basically essentially that's what happens if you take the shell off the turtles mm-hmm so let's look

01:12:06.260 at some more examples of western games being lame because it's funny to see them fail uh so here is

01:12:12.500 this is from star wars outlaws uh that is the model that was motion captured and here is what the

01:12:19.220 character looks like in the actual game i'd be insulted very attractive lady on the left undeniable 1.00

01:12:27.700 freak on the right just that's a plastic surgery box on the right there it looks like someone's made

01:12:34.580 a weird sort of um clay version and given her a massive you know how in team america they had

01:12:42.020 matt damon and they made the clay model and it melted in the oven which is why they made him down

01:12:47.540 syndrome in that film that's what's happened there melted clay down syndrome model did they put this in

01:12:53.540 the contract is it part of the small print that by the way will make you hideous because if so i wouldn't

01:12:58.580 sign on no it's sort of unfortunate they had such a nice thing to work with and they went with that

01:13:06.260 yeah that's got to be on purpose and uh the good news is that ubisoft who i think most people who

01:13:12.100 actually care about good video games and art more generally are glad to see the back of they were of

01:13:17.380 course responsible for putting tyrone in assassin's creed and also star wars outlaws being weird and

01:13:24.020 strange and uh yes they've they've started cutting devs um from four was 45 from american offices uh

01:13:32.740 whatever they're cutting devs that's the main thing and also samson called my attention to dustborne

01:13:40.820 and uh oh god i saw this i'm gonna torture you all i'm i'm very sorry but uh here is a clip from the game

01:13:48.660 you bastard such gripping gameplay this is a horrible layout for this as well because it's difficult

01:14:09.300 to tell which symbol is actually closest to the market but you've also got to look at the whole 0.97

01:14:14.580 screen rather than the guitar hero style yeah well yeah because it's off center of the screen so

01:14:21.460 you can't really pay attention to what's happening in the same way i am actively trying to talk over

01:14:27.620 this to try and save our audience wait until the song's over this music is also dreadful yeah rock rock

01:14:38.180 look at these weirdos no one thinks this is cool everyone looks it looks like a port oh yeah you

01:14:46.740 make a living doing this you always have to have a fatty as well we're a bit rusty and it's been

01:14:52.260 a long day yeah sure thing by the way that song could be considered offensive in the republic

01:14:58.180 this isn't pacifica people here don't like politics with their entertainment

01:15:01.940 it's a fair point where the dust board oh that's the opening of the game that's the title card drop

01:15:12.500 right there oh doesn't it make you want to play more are you excited fellow gamers just after the

01:15:18.260 man in uniform puts them down for being lame and there's there's no rebuttal whatsoever with

01:15:24.820 this bone even in their fantasies they're still downtrodden do you get to play as this as the

01:15:31.620 state destroying these people because then i would play the game if you're playing a totalitarian

01:15:37.460 state cracking down on freaks oppressing on cringe leftists that's a game i'd play it's it's worth 0.87

01:15:44.340 mentioning the game released recently and uh look at the play account who's gonna play it 18 in game

01:15:54.500 who are the developers of this game who's funny you say that uh let's have a look at some of the

01:16:00.820 the funding norwegian film institute uh co-funded by the creative european media program of the

01:16:09.060 european union it's quantic dream

01:16:18.260 this is an eu funded game this is that's that's why the bad guys say and get the politics out of our

01:16:27.540 entertainment because obviously there is political money behind this pushing this stuff let me just

01:16:33.940 double check this quantic dream yeah okay yeah the detroit become you they're the heavy rain this is the

01:16:41.460 david cage company i mean they were never amazing games to begin with but it's a bit of a left of

01:16:49.060 field turn isn't it carry on i've blown your mind here there are also other examples so uh you may

01:16:57.380 remember pokemon go from all those years ago i remember the summer of 2016 yes and they changed

01:17:05.540 the character models to make them more inclusive but less feminine so they made them hulking great 0.84

01:17:12.820 creatures yes from on the left to on the right weird sort of thomas the tank engine style faces now

01:17:21.380 so on the left feminine girly and then that the difference just hulking great mass weird face 1.00

01:17:30.420 from the sort of japanese girly yes i remember now actually there was a few posts a few months ago when

01:17:37.380 this first went on of people posting their pokemon go avatars going what did they do to me so from

01:17:45.140 this to this i don't even know that's like a purpley skin tone i don't even know whether that's that can

01:17:51.860 happen in nature but if you're about to die if you maybe this person's being suffocated by that

01:17:57.780 turtleneck maybe so there's another example here um this is a game made in 2004 um i can't see the

01:18:06.580 best bit because the camera's in the way um but very different representation

01:18:14.020 uh good god i was aware of vampire the masquerade bloodlines it's one of those games that i want to

01:18:19.300 play it's one of those games that people say is you have to mod it a lot to play it properly but it's

01:18:24.260 one of those underappreciated gems of its time and i knew they were remaking it see this is what i'm

01:18:30.100 worried about with witcher 3 oh sorry with the with witcher 1 remake what is wrong with this feminine 0.95

01:18:36.100 are they going to do this to tris she's going to become a hulking great she'll be a hulking great 0.99

01:18:43.140 mass so oh i just heard discord there that's prophetic but real ones go for yennefer anyway well of

01:18:52.020 course but you don't get yennefer in the first game that's true yeah yeah it's tris up until the

01:18:56.100 third game and then you can neg her as is appropriate and get with yennefer i found that it was very

01:19:03.220 jarring to have american accents in a sort of medieval setting so purely on that prejudice alone

01:19:08.420 well it works with some characters because the characters with american accents tend to be

01:19:12.260 gerald the other witches and some of his close friends and everybody else has european accents

01:19:18.420 that's true to be fair and uh finally ready at dawn that the final female character they created before 1.00

01:19:26.660 closing looks like this ready at dawn by the way um made some of the earlier god of war games and

01:19:32.340 okami where you play as a wolf nice i remember okami yeah it looked like a really cool game i never

01:19:37.780 played it but i looked good played it back in the day was that not um ps2 wasn't it yeah no it's ps2

01:19:43.620 was that not uh i thought they were a japanese country of company i've forgotten the name of them

01:19:48.580 now but they turned into platinum studios so wait that company also morphed into ready at dawn

01:19:54.820 mm-hmm but yeah they went down and their final character before they did was this thing i'm not

01:20:01.540 sure what it's meant they did a we port of okami it it looks kind of like uh a middle-aged man's trying

01:20:08.500 to look like a teenage girl but hey you get the idea right and uh yes it's good to see that there

01:20:15.060 there are consequences for these games they're just not being picked up they're not being played

01:20:19.220 we're hurting people in their wallets the good games are getting played and it's nice to see a

01:20:24.500 bit of meritocracy at least in video games where you can't get it elsewhere so well done to those

01:20:30.100 who actually do their due diligence and research games make sure they're good and buy the ones that

01:20:37.140 aren't trying to force things down your throats it seems to be working the bad studios are laying off

01:20:43.300 all of their developers more or less and the good ones are succeeding so there's a good carrot and

01:20:48.580 stick here to actually get ourselves some good media and it's video games are still a sort of safe haven

01:20:54.420 from all of the nonsense that is infected the rest of the world and hopefully it remains you have to be

01:20:59.140 very selective just to clear it up clover studio developed the original okami and also they developed 0.83

01:21:05.940 one of the best games ever made god hand which is stupid and ridiculous but fun very very fun

01:21:12.260 headed by the guy who did resident evil 4 as well yeah nice fact to end on yeah there you go 0.96

01:21:17.220 and we've got a bunch of super chats yeah so uh blimey look at all these okay don't worry we will

01:21:25.940 have time for comments we'll we'll be able to overrun right samson yeah all right lovely we have

01:21:32.820 we've got approval from samson so democrats have nothing to run on so they push these ideologies to

01:21:38.900 cause division it's all very marxian and maoism if i'm not mistaken blackrock is now pushing these

01:21:43.780 ideologies into japanese anime i wouldn't be surprised um that's more your domain i think um

01:21:50.900 i feel bad for today's youth that missed out on classics such as halo and instead must suffer

01:21:54.900 through slop like femgroid adventures dustborn femgroid adventures um they um they are just compare the 0.75

01:22:04.900 dev team pictures uh now and the witcher trilogy dev team oh dear i i've not i've been looking for it

01:22:13.060 quickly while i've been on this and i can't find the pictures if you can tell me which uh it's probably

01:22:19.940 on their twitter account isn't it so i'm gonna be so depressed also i used to work in triple a gaming

01:22:25.780 and have now gone full indie to escape the commie infesting the industry uh hoping to release uh

01:22:32.180 before the year's end expect some lotus eaters easter eggs all right that's cool cool well thank you um

01:22:38.580 so is that tank from earlier going to be sent to ukraine in an aid package it looks like she could

01:22:43.220 possibly break through the front lines on her own possibly uh reuben langdon uh was the va for dante

01:22:50.980 and was fired over his statements about being peaceful and respectful to right-wing groups or

01:22:54.740 trump supporters oh yeah i do not remember that aware of this yeah yeah yeah i i vaguely had that

01:23:01.700 in the back of my mind if so that's really depressing because he's been the voice of dante and as far as i'm

01:23:07.460 aware the motion capture capture as well ever since the third game and even was the voice of

01:23:13.380 him during the anime that they did in the late 2000s so saying to be respectful and peaceful so

01:23:20.420 if he was gets you fired if he was fired over that i was not aware of this what if they do a devil may

01:23:26.900 cry 6 what are they going to completely change the voice actor completely change the va and the motion

01:23:32.580 capture that means it's not going to be dante anymore and that's going to be really depressing for me

01:23:38.020 okay we suppose we've got video comments oh apparently he's been blacklisted from street fighter

01:23:45.780 dear dear all right

01:23:50.820 what's going on what the hell was that 0.50

01:23:52.500 gentlemen's observations of swindon chapter 23 in 2014 the housing stage of tadpole gardens built on

01:23:57.220 the site of the former tadpole farm was opened to the public and in 2017 the parish of blunts and

01:24:01.380 st andrew was divided into the eastern parish of bluntsdon and the western parish of st andrews

01:24:05.300 in 2021 mill lane was closed as a road accessible only by cyclists and pedestrians the following

01:24:10.260 year the first section of west which will known as the orchards began construction in east swindon

01:24:14.100 a greenfield development known as new eastern villages is underway with its eastern boundary

01:24:17.860 being the river cole and its plan including an extension of south marston and a new area to

01:24:21.700 be known as ruber the expansion of swindon is one of those concerning things that eventually swindon

01:24:28.180 will just take over all of the uk like a sort of cancerous tumor no it'll be it'll become part of

01:24:33.220 greater london that's true it will be consumed it will be swallowed up by reading which will be

01:24:38.260 swallowed up by london it'll be just a great big belt of city that you've got no choice but

01:24:43.940 to cross yeah on yesterday's podcast harry miller made an important point that cannot be stressed

01:24:52.420 enough when the police are encouraged and promoted based on ratting out their own for wrong think

01:24:59.460 it erodes that sense of camaraderie and brotherhood that is so necessary for law enforcement and for the

01:25:05.780 military without it the stress becomes maddening and you really have to know that the guy beside you

01:25:12.100 has your back more political humor tomorrow no i i did think that was a prescient point as well

01:25:20.820 yeah again my my friend who's a police officer in stoke and staffordshire area he's leaving partially

01:25:26.900 because of that stuff lots of police officers i know uh very upset about the way policing's going

01:25:34.660 well he's upset about that as well and um apparently i'm only one uh one degree of separation away from

01:25:41.540 that guy who was the put your weapons in the mosque video and uh yeah they're pushing out all the good 1.00

01:25:48.340 officers and replacing them with those types given the present kerfuffle in ukraine i think it's worth

01:25:54.180 remembering the historical context after the second world war stalin very deliberately redrew the eastern

01:25:59.060 bloc's new borders specifically to engineer in an ethnic conflict so that any regional power that 0.53

01:26:04.180 might challenge moscow would forever be marred by local ethnic conflict and where this conflict cannot

01:26:08.820 be engineered stalin simply imported a vast russian population to forcibly create it i say this to

01:26:14.180 elucidate our present situation and given that recent emergence of the 39 number is with the utmost dread

01:26:19.940 i say that yugoslavia is our future and that's a very good point yes i think it was what 1954 i think

01:26:29.540 um the crimea came under ukrainian administration it's interesting isn't it the one bit of uh silver

01:26:37.780 lining that i can take from that in the in uh is that in the end it didn't work in in the end

01:26:43.380 the soviet union still collapsed and um these countries asserted themselves of course then nato

01:26:49.700 came in and bombed them and said you're not allowed to do that but either way a lot about the combine

01:26:55.940 from half-life recently and how they are very similar to the current uk government stop me if this sounds

01:27:01.540 familiar they are a government of human quizlings serving alien masters and are basically strip mining 1.00

01:27:08.020 the planet to send off world while at the same time sterilizing and poisoning the the human 0.73

01:27:13.780 population that remains then they have wall-to-wall propaganda of well-groomed well-spoken administrator

01:27:19.940 types telling us that this is all fine you're crazy for thinking this is bad and the aliens are here

01:27:25.620 to help us and we should be grateful for all they've done i see i see no parallels between our this

01:27:33.620 and our present situation i i hope that's sarcasm i really like the half-life games as well they're

01:27:40.500 very um sort of interesting games and i always had a lot of fun with them i played a bit of the second

01:27:46.500 one in the orange box back on ps3 but mainly played portal on that good game played the hell out of that

01:27:54.820 in keeping with my pain and torture posting the following is a calf and foot stretch

01:28:04.500 that's fantastic if you spend your life sitting down or in your shoes if you do this at least one

01:28:11.940 minute every day your feet your calves will be softer you will walk straighter and your stride will be

01:28:19.220 longer

01:28:19.700 i still like those ripping guitar solos going on onto those relax to the shred no i do i think that's

01:28:34.100 actually quite helpful because i've been doing a lot of walking while i've been away and my feet

01:28:38.660 still killing me from it so i might actually have to do that one thank you yeah

01:28:44.580 well we should have seen this coming as far back as the u.s patriot act western governments have been

01:28:52.100 emboldened to ratchet down on enemies of the state and now we have kier stalin the two-tier queer who 0.96

01:29:00.020 has decided that anyone that speaks against him is an enemy of the state and then meanwhile in the us we

01:29:05.940 have our up-and-coming commissar kamala who will do exactly the same thing andrew tate has an advantage 0.98

01:29:13.140 he at least is a muslim

01:29:18.260 that is true

01:29:18.820 uh keir starmer if you're watching this right now please know that some of those insults were

01:29:24.020 from an american and we do not necessarily support them although you probably will try and extradite 0.94

01:29:29.060 them you tyrannical dick well that was josh that was all josh please don't arrest me um should we go 0.96

01:29:36.020 through nothing to lose yeah should we go through some of the written comments sure 0.98

01:29:39.860 so uh furpar says uh dangeld worked well in history yeah basically saying paying them off doesn't work

01:29:46.820 yeah um justin b says paying the dangeld never works oh we got a theme here all you do is attract

01:29:52.180 more people to come to collect the geld um harry's car aka the shag wagon so sweden went from being

01:30:01.060 fully accepting of migrants uh to be glad they're leaving all in the space of a decade i wonder what 1.00

01:30:06.100 could have happened to possibly cause such a drastic change of mind yes uh it's amazing what a lot a long

01:30:13.220 history of crime can do to a country so if you live says here in denmark you are not allowed to

01:30:18.660 access public services unless you've been working as a net taxpayer for 10 years that is great isn't

01:30:23.700 it i wish we had that we wouldn't have half the immigrants in this country otherwise um yeah 1.00

01:30:28.500 there's a reason all the illegal um immigrants have skipped denmark and gone straight to sweden 1.00

01:30:32.900 and yeah sweden looks to us for inspiration for this yes denmark is like a sort of beacon

01:30:38.900 for migration isn't it great data great policies um based ape says business idea get on a dinghy to

01:30:45.380 sweden get a passport from lefty cucks except a thousand euros give it back leave get on a dinghy

01:30:51.700 for sweden repeat if i'm ever in financial trouble then that's what i'm doing it's like a glitch in a

01:30:58.020 video game isn't it infinite money glitch found irl infinite sweden glitch

01:31:02.820 um brian tomlinson says young male islamist enters the eu socialists give them eu passports

01:31:09.860 sakia wants free movement with the eu for under 30s young male islamist heads to the uk more young 0.63

01:31:16.020 english girls and children are stabbed and murdered yes that is basically the blueprint for it yeah if 0.98

01:31:21.380 that is what ends up happening i don't think that's a situation that will that will go on forever

01:31:27.700 eventually old customs reassert themselves that's what i'll leave it that uh arizona desert rat on 0.99

01:31:36.420 my segment says don't know about the uk but stolen valor is taken pretty seriously in the us some

01:31:40.980 states even have laws against stolen valor what stolen valor that's lying about your military services

01:31:45.620 for clout probably appropriate but also there are lots of places in america that offer discounts for

01:31:51.540 veterans and things like that and so there's an incentive to be dishonest and therefore they have to

01:31:56.020 have these harsh things and of course in america it is held up a lot higher than in a lot of other

01:32:01.300 countries particularly in europe yeah well of course there is a great deal of honor in all cultures that

01:32:06.180 comes with being a soldier particularly a soldier who's actually seen frontline combat absolutely

01:32:11.060 who have braved some of the worst experiences that humanity has to offer so therefore if you are 0.98

01:32:16.500 faking that then yes shame on you you should be punished harry's car again saying the dnc is a freak

01:32:22.420 show the labor conference party conference is also a freak show but which is better there's only one 0.91

01:32:27.300 way to find out fight harry hill commenting on our podcast now arizona desert rat again says one i

01:32:35.540 don't think the hyena laugh will help the us on the world political stage well you don't you don't think 1.00

01:32:40.340 kamala harris is going to be able to navigate tricky geopolitical situations i don't know two 1.00

01:32:46.660 technically the vp doesn't really have any power or duties but harris has been an epic failure with the

01:32:51.380 southern border why would anyone have a kind of confidence in her because they're paid to 1.00

01:32:56.100 and who seriously likes corn nuts bleh kevin fox someone suggested for a drinking game something

01:33:02.420 you guys should do for tomorrow's lads hour watch the dnc speeches and take a shot of tequila every

01:33:07.060 time someone mentions donald trump i'd be surprised if you all lasted 40 minutes yeah this is what i was

01:33:12.020 watching seeing all the clips that get put up and then clicking on a few of the speeches themselves

01:33:16.420 obviously some of her only five minutes and the only thing most of these people were talking about 0.98

01:33:21.220 was donald trump's going to rape and murder you donald trump's going to personally come to your 0.99

01:33:25.220 house and he's going to strangle your cat in front of your baby's eyes and then traumatize you all you 1.00

01:33:30.420 wouldn't vote for that would you so vote for us instead what are we going to offer we're not donald

01:33:36.580 trump yeah it'll be worse than that we won't come around your house and stangle your cat we'll just 1.00

01:33:41.380 come around your house and chop your son's dick off and tell you that it's for a good if it's for his own 0.99

01:33:45.700 benefit it's worth mentioning there's a quick comment that's come in oh yeah saying in the uk we have the 1.00

01:33:50.900 walter mitty hunting club shaming the stolen valor people that's true oh good just calling them waltz 0.99

01:33:56.260 oh it's normally what people do i think excellent omar awad in the same way a literal representation

01:34:01.540 of the average man and his two and a half kids doesn't exist i think the democrats don't have

01:34:05.540 an audience they have an agenda and a playbook but you can't focus test for the average voter

01:34:10.420 and be authentic if you campaign for every demographic you aren't capturing any demographic

01:34:15.140 trump works best in front of an audience because he plays to them not at them that's that's a good point

01:34:19.620 well it's the same with with things like music isn't it if you make music to be popular

01:34:23.860 it it doesn't have legs it'll be forgotten you know if you're making music for everyone then

01:34:28.980 it's music for no one the same thing with politics if you if you're trying to appeal to everyone you're

01:34:35.140 not appealing to anyone yeah furious dan psa do not take the bait do not scramble to defend yourself

01:34:41.620 from the democrats ridiculous accusations only remind them that the border is defenseless the

01:34:45.460 uh defenseless the economy is in shambles schools want to groom kids and it is all their fault do 0.83

01:34:49.620 not dance to their tune and similarly again tell them i'm so i'm so glad that you're not breeding

01:34:56.340 i'm so glad please carry on if you can go to your friends tell them they shouldn't breed either 0.99

01:35:01.140 that'd be even better anyway let's go to the last set of comments az desert rat says if a girl 1.00

01:35:07.300 slash woman wants to play a game she wants to play a good game not a lame game and for the most part

01:35:11.860 they don't have a huge investment in uh whether or not the main character is male or female that's

01:35:16.500 true it doesn't really matter as much i think there's more of a strong preference amongst males

01:35:21.700 but then if we're going to play a female character we want them to be hot that's basically it isn't it 0.99

01:35:27.460 yeah if you're going to be staring at the backside of a character for a long time over the course of

01:35:31.860 eight plus hours you want it to be a nice backside just to say threadnaught sent two dollars in saying 0.90

01:35:37.940 i once got accused of stolen valor on facebook after i posted the navy seal copypasta that was 0.99

01:35:43.380 funny good man i love that copypasta um you say what you little shit it gets used so much it's so 0.97

01:35:51.060 good warlord wututai says uh the infestation of video games with identity politics will prove to 0.99

01:35:57.060 be a massive mistake by the left as it has radicalized thousands of young men who otherwise

01:36:01.540 would not have been radicalized also great episode today lads well done oh that's very nice thank you

01:36:06.180 uh sophie live says the thing also is um the video games women play are often different than 1.00

01:36:12.340 what men play women are more likely to play jrpgs farm simulators and comfy games while fps are 99.9

01:36:20.260 men well i think that it's very sort of twitchy and quick and it's sort of based on reaction times it

01:36:25.860 is yeah and also fps is it's just completely male isn't it well except modern call of duties that have

01:36:31.780 women in which are lame but hey hey female black disabled nazis are a historical fact okay don't 1.00

01:36:37.940 look it up it's a fact oh well they're getting shot all the same zelda is the only game franchise i 0.99

01:36:44.180 know where the gender split seems to be 50 50 and yeah i play games which are free is one of the best

01:36:48.580 games ever made and the next one is going to be a disaster uh oh yeah somebody else has said down

01:36:53.540 here justin b don't pin your hopes on the witch's future cdpr have confirmed they'll be updating the

01:36:58.180 witcher one remake for modern audiences another buzzword describing something that doesn't exist

01:37:03.620 who are modern audiences a lot yeah modern audiences means sort of uh you know put a woman

01:37:10.580 in it and make it gay from south park i mean i could understand that they would probably take out 0.56

01:37:15.700 the sex cards that you got in the first game where you sleep with particular women and then you get

01:37:20.820 a saucy card of them um i can understand that they probably weren't going to be bringing that back

01:37:26.660 but they're going to ruin everything else aren't they and they also say what else what and what

01:37:30.820 they have been saying in interviews does not bode well for four either second i saw that they were

01:37:35.140 having siri as the main character in the fourth one rather than gerald again i know that gerald's

01:37:42.260 story is done by the end of blood and wine it's literally a heartfelt and lot and send off to the

01:37:48.260 character um but i thought to myself oh they're gonna make her a girl boss aren't they which is not 0.99

01:37:53.860 really what she was in the third game yeah well she was sort of struggling to survive i liked that

01:37:59.380 dynamic of it it didn't seem false she was sort of magical but they also sort of pose the well you've

01:38:06.980 been trained by people who are still better with a sword than you yeah she was overpowered yeah but

01:38:12.260 it made sense with the law and it was done right because she didn't really know how to control her

01:38:18.260 powers she was emotional she wasn't prepared to use them so that added a nice dynamic that meant she

01:38:23.380 wasn't just a mary sue yes exactly uh michael uh says bring back tabletop actual role-playing games

01:38:30.900 uh will generate characters with dice to make real cyberpunk adventures with a band called

01:38:35.300 the dustborne as a serious hardcore death metal band that sounds a lot more appealing than the

01:38:40.340 actual dust yeah that's for sure to be honest dustborne's not a bad name for a band no it's a shame

01:38:45.060 that it's associated with that now if it's like a a sort of heavy desert psych band that sounds like a

01:38:51.380 great band if it sounds like caius that's yes that's a good name for that style and uh harry dante

01:38:58.900 cosplay when i have considered it in the past i need to get back into shape and get my abs back but when

01:39:05.300 i do i will be doing a halloween cosplay i could cause i made that thank you cosplay this quite accurately

01:39:15.300 right now but when i've got my abs back i'm definitely doing a dmc3 dante cosplay and uh

01:39:23.300 the final thing uh tom gordon uh for horizon zero dawn she looked well enough like the actress but

01:39:29.300 for the sequel horizon forbidden west they uh they deliberately made her way more ugly and put the lgbtqia 0.99

01:39:36.820 plus plus plus plus flag uh in as a tribal war paint tribal war paint that would be like if ubisoft

01:39:43.620 had taken farm far cry primal and done the same thing oh i'm gonna make this ancient cave painting

01:39:49.060 rainbow flag it's amazing they had all these colored paints back then i know and uh with that

01:39:55.540 i think we've gone over well enough and we've read through plenty of your comments thank you very much

01:39:59.540 for commenting we actually really enjoy uh the interactions with you you've got some great things

01:40:03.620 to say and thank you for dashing all of my hopes on the witcher 1 remake and witcher 4 because if

01:40:09.300 anything it just is one less thing to be excited about and there's one thing i hate more there's

01:40:14.580 there's nothing i hate more than getting on the hype train and being disappointed so thank you for
