Time Text
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for Friday the 13th of November 2020.
Can't be a good date, can it?
No.
Do you reckon it's going to get called for Biden today?
It might.
It may as well.
If we're going to have a narrative of 2020, we may as well have it happen on this day at this time.
Yeah.
But hey everyone, I'm joined by Callum, and we're going to be talking about various things.
Hopefully, I think you might be able to see that we've ruined the aesthetic of the set by having these disgusting microphone...
These anti-boomer devices.
Yes, anti-boomer devices, that's correct.
I'm not happy about it, so I hope that you're all very pleased that you've ruined my project.
I can't just live with the Boomer Audio and have it looking nice now.
It has to sound good too.
Hopefully it does though.
Let's talk about the leftists getting purged.
Yeah, this has been great, hasn't it?
Kind of.
Kind of.
It's actually, I think, something of a cover for...
I think it's kind of just saving their own skin and throwing a bit of chum into the water, you know?
Jeremy Corbyn and various others being chucked to the sharks, but it's not actually going to change the problems or the direction of the real issues.
So anyway, in October, Corbyn got suspended from Labour because of the release of the anti-Semitism report, and Keir Starmer, I think, was just waiting for the opportunity.
Now, he obviously came out and said, oh, this is terrible anti-Semitism.
Whenever you turn around talking, the audio goes off.
Oh yeah, of course it does, yeah.
See, this...
Shit.
This is why this wasn't a good idea.
I was right.
Proven right already.
But anyway, Keir Starmer stood very firmly on this.
over the perceived toleration of anti-Semitism within Corbyn's socialist faction in the Labour Party.
He said former shadow chancellor and close sorry the BBC article says former shadow chancellor and close ally of Mr Corbyn John McDonnell said it seemed that the party was drifting towards a hell of a row over the use of language misinterpretation followed by overreaction.
Now John McDonnell would say that because McDonnell and Corbyn have been like peas in a pod If we can go on to the next one, please.
It's not like Corbyn and McDonnell haven't been...
I mean, I don't even know.
I almost said implicated in being communists or Marxists there, but I don't even think that's a fair description.
I mean, they seem to be openly in favour of...
Marx's work.
Corbyn described Marx in 2017 as a great economist.
John McDonnell, if we can go to the next one, please, described how to a group of CEOs, this was at a Wall Street Journal's CEO Council, where he said they need to consider Marx's analysis.
Now, I've done my fair share of reading on Marx's analysis, and I've come to the conclusion that it's total nonsense, and in fact, the only reason you would need to consider Marx's analysis is to know what not to do.
It's all based on incorrect metaphysics and incorrect reading of history, an incorrect theory of value, and an incorrect understanding of the individual person's experience of the world.
And so it's total nonsense.
And Marxism is effectively a kind of unsolved puzzle that looks really appealing, like some kind of intellectual Chinese finger trap for reasonably smart people who look at it and go, ooh, I think I could see where this could fit together.
But the whole thing is based on a bunch of incorrect presuppositions.
So you just end up getting stuck in it.
You can't get your fingers out and you'll never be able to figure it out without tossing the whole thing away.
I don't know the Wall Street Journal very well, but I imagine most of the staff and the CEO are probably open capitalists.
They can't imagine that Marxism works at this point.
Could you imagine getting lectured to by this guy?
Well, I mean, I imagine the Wall Street Journal staff, it's usually considered to be a centre-right paper, but I mean...
I find that dubious.
But I imagine that they aren't in favour of Marxism, and they have a fairly good grasp of why Marxism is nonsense themselves.
But as you say, yeah, can you imagine getting lectured by this guy, this old coot?
And, I mean, if we can see the next one, again, it's not like these...
By the way, I mean, in 2013, there was leaked footage of MacDonald calling himself a Marxist, secretly at a meeting, and once he told the BBC that he wanted to overthrow capitalism.
Just came out and said it.
It's my job to overthrow capitalism.
And then as we can see here, in 2016, when Fidel Castro died, Jeremy Corbyn had to hold back a tear, describing him as a champion of social justice and saying, Fidel Castro's death marks the passing of a huge figure of modern history, national independence and 20th century socialism.
Now, if anyone knows anything about 20th century socialism, they'll realise that literally nothing worse has ever happened to the human race.
Just on percentage of population that ended up dying is just the easiest way to summarise just how bad 20th century socialism was.
The only thing that comes close is the Mongol invasions, incidentally.
And they're not as bad.
What about the Black Death?
Is that not more?
The Black Plague?
Well, that's a natural disaster.
Oh, okay.
You're talking about human inventors.
Something that humans have done to one another.
Socialism is by far the worst thing, just on the numbers.
The next nearest thing would be the Mongols, probably the invasions of Tamerlane come close third, something like that, but it's...
There are lots of things that produce massive body counts, and communism and socialism is certainly one of them.
Praising 20th century socialism is, again, this kind of delusional aspect that the Marxists end up seeing, because they look at it and think, it's almost finished, it's almost perfect, we're nearly there, just a few more bodies.
But anyway, so if we can get to the next one, we can see how this is the similar pattern that's being reflected on the other side of the Atlantic.
This is an article describing Bernie Sanders' socialism, and they describe how he, since the 60s, has called himself a democratic socialist, which is true, but I think, again, this is Bernie Sanders being more measured because this is Bernie Sanders being more measured because he's a politician than I think his core convictions would really belie.
Because, I mean, this man has a very long history of living on communes, honeymooning in the Soviet Union and taking their propaganda at face value, saying how their palaces of culture are wonderful, the country's being so brilliantly run, people have got lots of food, and actually it's a good thing to go to bread lines because otherwise they'd be starving.
So it's not like Bernie doesn't have this long history of essentially being a communist Or being a communist simp, at least.
At the very least, he's a communist simp.
But the thing is, as well...
I think you can reasonably say that under Bernie's sort of tenure as the godfather of the socialist movement in the United States, he has kind of wet-nursed an extremely radical strain of socialism into the Democratic Party under the guise of the Squad, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayan Presley, and who was the other one?
Who's the other squad?
I don't remember either.
Yeah.
To be honest, AOC's the only one that's even rememberable.
AOC plus three.
Maybe Ilhan Omar for the fucking corruption about her.
Yeah.
And marrying her brother and things like that.
Oh, yeah.
But anyway.
But the point is, these people have openly stated radical policies.
AOC and the squad in the Green New Deal.
I mean, the Green New Deal just looks like a new version of...
What we could call a kind of socialist manifesto.
It seeks to just rewrite the entire country, rewrite the entire economy, and impose top-down state control over everything.
They've got their reasons for wanting this, of course, but then the socialists always have their reasons, and I don't care what your reasons are, get off my property, you communist bandit.
But Bernie Sanders has, since the fall of the Soviet Union, denounced the Soviet Union because, oh, that wasn't real communism, that wasn't what I wanted.
I'm for good things, not for bad things.
But it turns out that Joe Biden is following, if we can go to the next one please, Joe Biden is following the Keir Starmer playbook.
No, get out, you communist bastards.
Now, I didn't think for a second that Joe Biden was a communist himself, but I do think that it doesn't matter because essentially they're going to win a bunch of the arguments anyway.
So when Jeremy Corbyn said, oh, we may have lost the election, and they didn't just lose the election, the Labour Party got a historic landslide defeat.
But they may well actually have won a bunch of the arguments, because even if they aren't the ones pulling the levers, if the levers are being pulled for Jeremy Corbyn's policies, what's the difference?
But anyway, when it comes to this, in the recent election, the votes have not yet been finalised.
The elections have not been finalised, but it seems that the Democrats have lost a bunch of seats in the House, but they maintain their majority slimly, but they have lost the Senate.
There's a lot of blame being allocated internally within the party, and according to Politico, both Sanders and Warren, who are both, I just think we can call them radical left-wingers, have been ruled out according to Politico.
And the funny thing about this was a bit of leaked audio.
If we can go on to the next one, please.
A bit of leaked audio...
From a woman called Abigail Spanberger, who's a Democratic Virginia Congresswoman who nearly got absolutely waxed in these elections.
She only just held onto her seat by the most very narrow margins.
And she had some very...
I should have got the clip ready for us to listen to you.
The tone of her voice...
We need not ever use the word socialist or socialism ever again.
Because while people think it doesn't matter, it does matter.
We lost a lot of good members because of it.
Excoriating.
Absolutely not wrong.
She's not wrong at all.
And it was the same over here.
It was the same in the United States.
On Twitter, they may love the term socialist.
You may say, well, I've got my own special definition of socialism.
But people remember what socialism from the 20th century was like, and they don't want it.
Really, it seems that socialism is synonymous with state economic control of your life.
And who wants top-down, centralized, tyrannical authority, especially if you're, I don't know, some smallholding farmer or something, or you have a small business, or whatever it is.
This is just tyranny.
And this, presumably, is why the Cubans in Florida were so broke so hard for Trump.
And Venezuelans.
There are lots and lots of refugees from socialist regimes in Latin America who vote very heavily Republican because they want liberty.
They want the protection of private property, not the abolition of private property.
What do you reckon?
I mean, it's good news.
I did see a rumor, because I don't know what Biden's really doing with all his cabinet.
Well, he'll bring back critical race theory.
Yeah, I mean, that's the point, which is his cabinet might end up being a more traditional Democrat, but the radical ideas from the party base still trickle through.
In the same way with the Labour Party, Keir Starmer might be at the head, his cabinet's a lot more...
He's not going to defund the police.
I mean, he rightly laughed at the idea and called it nonsensical because it obviously is.
But he's not going to do anything about diversity training.
He's never going to stand up for critical race theory.
He'll never stand up for immigration because he just can't.
And he will probably just put the best face on them that he can and then get on with whatever it is the radical left want.
I just noticed we didn't put the lights on in the background there.
Ah, dang.
Do you want to do that?
Yeah, yeah, go for it.
It's just the blue button.
The circular button.
I'm sorry, this bothers me.
I spent money on those lights.
Get out of the chair.
Come on, turn on.
No, it's the dash button, the dash.
There we go.
Oh, there we go.
They're both operating...
Can you buy these?
From China online.
What the hell is this?
There we go.
Press the circle button now.
There we go.
There we go.
You'll have to edit that bit out when we put the clip up.
Oh, don't worry.
No, I do worry.
Yeah, this is the quality content people are tuning in for.
But anyway, so yeah, the...
The neoliberal faces of these parties, Keir Starmer and Joe Biden, who I imagine do actually agree on almost everything policy-wise.
I can't imagine they're going to be sat there going, oh no, we can't do this.
Think of the populists or whatever.
They're more like a front face for what will happen, but they don't particularly care, but that's the problem.
It's because they don't particularly care about the subject that it's going to continue to Going through these things.
And they'll see, oh, diversity and inclusion project.
That's fine.
Pay for that.
Pay for that.
And so critical race theory will continue proliferating through institutions.
And so this is essentially why we can't support any of these left-wing parties.
I'm not saying that it would be good or bad to do so.
Otherwise, it's just that's what you're going to get.
It's actually a lot easier now to compare the Labour or Democrats to wet Conservatives because, I mean, it is just the same thing where they put on a face of X, but in reality you just get the ideas bubbling through and they never do anything Conservative or proper with their ideology.
Yeah, just the chat.
You can see the chat, okay.
Burn off that keg belly.
Good God, man, I'm working on it.
But yeah, so that's bad news, I would suggest.
So what do you think of the...
We have the Workers' Party of Britain in the UK, George Galloway, if anyone knows him, and he's slowly siphoning off all these Corbynites, trying to get as many as possible, which, you know, have fun with that.
Yeah, enjoy.
Do you reckon we'll see something similar with the US if Joe Biden continues down the road he's going of being too neoliberal for the leftists?
Mm-hmm.
I don't know.
I think that in Britain there's probably more space for third parties and minor parties to actually impact the electorate.
It seems that UKIP, Liberal Democrats, the Green Party, and even Galloway got elected in Bradford with the Respect Party.
So it seems that these are capable of at least holding positions of office.
I don't know what's going to happen with the Democrats.
I think they'll probably get slowly frozen out.
It would make sense.
I mean, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez herself said, it doesn't make sense that me and Joe Biden are in the same party.
Well, I mean, I agree.
Go start your own party.
But at the same time, I saw the response after this election where it's like, it's no longer the squad.
It's now, I think it's the Legion I saw publicly.
Oh, is it?
Because there's a few more DSA guys or radical guys that have gone through.
Right, right.
So they're slowly building up their power base.
Right, okay, I didn't see that.
Well, there we go.
Maybe they can eventually usurp the Democrats.
But, I mean, it would have just made sense for them to start their own party, but then no one would vote for them, would they?
They would get nowhere.
Socialists always have to go by other means.
Well, yeah, I mean, if you think about it, there's nothing about socialism that has a creative impulse in it.
When do the socialists ever say, oh, we're going to build something?
They always see what other people have and want to redistribute it.
That's the point.
They assume that essentially productive capacity reaches the peak of whatever we're at right now, and they're like, right now, this is where we need to redistribute everything.
It's like, okay, but if we start removing all of the incentives to create businesses, to create wealth...
Then wealth will, you know, over a process of time, will just degrade slowly and not be replaced.
And nobody was creating, you know, innovating, creating new things.
And so the socialists have got this bizarre view of innovation and human incentives.
And none of it will ever come to pass.
And this is why their economies are terrible.
Like, just let people invent things.
Let people make things.
Let people build things.
What we're looking at here is the conservatives in the UK are tanking in the polls.
We'll get into it later with a lot of the drama today, but also with COVID and whatnot.
All Keir Starmer really has to do now is keep good face, don't have any major mess-ups, and just slide the way 40%.
He'll get himself as PM. Yeah, it's terrible.
But what do you think he'll actually do as Prime Minister with the Labour Party?
I think it'll just be a return to Blairism.
So it'll be as radical as Blair, though.
It's public face of nothing, but when it gets to it, massive reforms to completely destroy the structure.
I don't think he'll do anything that's outside of what Blair has set in motion.
I think he'll just continue the process.
So, you know, the immigration will never be controlled, and it will probably increase.
Taxes will go up, things like this.
Voting age will go down to 16.
Voting age will go down to 16 and include foreigners.
Yeah, which it already does in Scotland and Wales.
In Wales, yeah, exactly.
He'll just introduce these same things for the UK, and essentially what they're trying to do is turn the United Kingdom, and England particularly, I think, because I think the Welsh and the Scots are happy to go down that road, frankly.
But they're going to try and turn it into a sort of replica of the European Union.
This incredibly bureaucratic and centralized state that the person who gets elected into the position of ultimate power essentially is given ultimate power to reshape the society as how they choose.
I think it's terrible.
I think it's awful.
I think we're going to really regret it.
I already do regret it.
That's why I'm wondering if Joe Biden, will he get rid of the Electoral College?
Will he try to do the same things as Blair?
Well, he wouldn't say he wouldn't stuff the courts, so I think...
I mean, if he was to come out and say, I'm going to stuff the courts, I'm going to get rid of the Electoral College...
Oh, he would have got tanked.
Would it be...
No, no, if he does it after getting elected now, it's not going to be a surprise.
No, no.
He'll be like, oh, yeah, okay.
No, I would expect him to, you know.
Again, it's not being able to win in a fair competition, isn't it?
And that's what we see repeatedly about the left.
They feel the need to try and change the way that things work in order to get the result they're looking for, because the process doesn't matter.
It's the outcome that's important.
So what are we looking at here, by the way?
Oh, that's not on screen.
Ah, right, it's not on screen.
Right, okay.
We'll move on.
Yep, we can move on.
So, someone, I think it was just a question someone sent in about what's the status of Brexit at the moment?
So, that's what I've been working on to try and find out what's going on, because four years, it's time to progress.
We should probably announce these by looking at the camera.
Announce what?
Well, what the next segment we're doing is.
Oh, yeah.
Probably should, but it's fine.
I can cut it.
It'll be all right.
Yeah, but when you cut it, cut it so you look at the camera.
Okay, fine, fine, fine.
So, a lot of people have been asking about Brexit, what's the status on it, you know, so on and so forth.
So, just a quick rundown of what we've got.
So, we've got a few trade deals.
So, there's a big list on the government's website that I'll just put in the chat.
It'll be in the description of the clips, so people can find it there.
But that just lists everything we do have.
And there's a bunch of countries.
The big ones, South Korea, Japan, Switzerland.
We've already got some agreements with Iceland and Norway.
So even if the EU does something funny, we're not going to have another cod war.
We may have another scallops war, though.
That's what we're going to get into.
We can win that.
Yeah, but that only amounts for about 8% of trade.
Japan is another 2%.
Canada came out today, well, Justin Trudeau came out, and said, we'll get one done before 21.
So he's optimistic.
That would bring us up to 12% of all trade secured before that important date of us leaving the EU in officialdom.
So we have to go to WTO terms.
But 12% isn't exactly a great amount, is it?
No, it's a very small amount, but it's one of these things where there's not much the government can do there, because about 50% of our trade is with the EU anyway, you know, France, Germany.
I thought it was 45, something like that.
Yeah, a little bit lower than 50, but I'm just frowning.
And the Americans are 16%, so the rest of the countries are quite small, so you've just got to go one by one and add them up.
The funniest one was a $6 million deal with Kosovo, which made me laugh.
We'll be trading in Kosovo, you know?
But if you could put the first slide on screen, that's just a visualization of the breakdown.
So you could see Germany, France, Ireland, Netherlands, the big ones there.
You have to add them all together and you end up with about 40% is EU. Yeah.
But, of course, the big hope was with the United States that with Trump we'd get a good trade deal, and the conservatives haven't got it done.
So, thanks, guys.
Didn't Trump say that we were going to be right at the front of the queue?
Endlessly positive things.
Yes.
I mean, you could say that one.
There are a bunch of other quotes of, like, oh, this is going to be a fantastic trade deal.
Yeah, it's going to be the best.
But he's also been saying things like, absolutely, we're open on everything, anything you want, as long as you provide us with military support.
Fine.
Yeah, fine.
But then he's gone, and now my understanding is with the United States, because no one's sure who the president is, everyone's just twiddling their thumbs.
Well, technically Trump is still the president.
Yeah, but I don't believe he's in any position to authorise a trade deal, or his administration are.
Or everyone's just too busy.
He's probably got other things on his plate.
Yeah, they're doing other stuff.
So that's not going to get done before 2021.
It'll be done at some point, but not before.
So what that position leaves us in is that we've got maybe 12%, 14% if we get Canada done, which doesn't leave us at a great position.
It's not the worst, but it means we're now negotiating with the EU still and the EU coming back.
I think Barnier was in London yesterday making some memes.
Talking about a fish, wasn't he?
Yeah, so he tweeted out, I've been looking for some level playing fields with some goalposts and whatnot, because most of the stuff they're negotiating seems minor.
I got this from a BBC article listing all the problems, and I don't think we care about most of it.
The only thing that is interesting is the fishing one.
So the EU's position is that they should have access to 100% of our fishing, full free access to carry on doing what they were doing, and in return we will graciously allow you to sell fish to us.
What, so they can take our fish?
Yeah, and then we'll be allowed to sell the fish that we've just lost to them.
It's like, yeah, this doesn't seem in our interest.
But not to mention, it was a big part of the Leave campaign that we need to get our fishing rights back.
We're going to get control of our fishing rights back.
We are an island, after all.
It does make sense.
Absolutely.
So go saying, I can't capitulate on this.
We're not going to do anything on this.
So...
If they can't agree that, yeah, we are going to have our fishing rights back, then it's looking like WTO in my mind.
Okay.
Because that's a deal breaker.
If they do that, it's going to be really bad for them.
Press the ejector button, I'm fine with it.
Yeah.
And the other alternative, so that's, you know, if they get a trade deal, they do it with giving up fishing, which no one's going to like that.
Yeah.
Or they can leave with WTO, which the Breaks of Tears will like, the Remainers will moan about it, but it's what they promised.
Yeah.
But the alternative is whether or not they just pull out Theresa May and try and sell us nonsense or try and extend it again.
Right.
In which case the Conservative government and the party will probably lose all credibility for generations.
Well, it's probably a bit too late for that anyway.
Maybe.
A ship appears to have sailed.
But I mean...
A scallop ship has sailed.
Yeah.
Well, no one expected coronavirus.
Sure.
People like us are maybe upset with Boris about critical race theory and things like this, but the general public, I don't think, care.
No, of course not.
But the big selling point of the last election, and the election before that, and the election before that, was get Brexit done.
We will finish this issue.
That was the slogan.
Yeah.
So if they can't deliver on that one thing, they've lost all credibility.
No one will respect this government.
Yep.
So...
That's their three options.
And now there's a bunch of gossip.
So I'll put the Financial Times article...
Oh no, it's not giving me the right link.
I'll put it in the description of the video afterwards, don't worry.
But the gossip is about Dominic Cummings leaving today.
Confirmed.
It was confirmed, is it?
Yeah, I thought it was confirmed anyway.
So, there's two interpretations of this.
There's the interpretation from the Remainers, they're like, ha ha, he's finally getting rid of them, and the Brexiteers are upset, they're like, why are you getting rid of him?
Yeah.
But there is some reason to be calm, which is the fact that when he issued last year in January his notice for weirdos and misfits or whatever it was to come work at number 10, His reasoning was that I'm going to hire these people, and then I'm redundant.
I can leave and go do something else with my life.
I think the wording was, these people will make me largely redundant.
So, if that's what's happening, then no reason to be worried.
It's very optimistic.
Part of the plan.
Just saying what there is.
That, to me, just strikes me as being very optimistic.
Because, I mean, I think he's been getting rid of, gotten rid of.
That's the alternative.
And there is some evidence for this in Gossipland.
What does Gossipland say?
So Gossipland is that the Vote Leave people, so him and a bunch of other of his chums, who all worked with Boris's campaign, have been working with Boris ever since the election, are basically getting purged, getting rid of slowly.
And there seems to be some truth to this.
So apparently Boris's girlfriend has had a falling out with them, doesn't really like them.
Kerry Simmons, is that...
I don't have the name written down.
She's responsible.
In the Financial Times, they list her as mainly responsible for pushing climate to the agenda.
But apparently she's also a bit upset with this new...
She works with this new spokeswoman.
Apparently both of them are a bit upset that it's very macho working in the office at the moment.
Which is a weird complaint, but okay.
I'd like to know what's going on.
Yeah.
So, this new spokeswoman, so this is where the rumours come in that basically he's being gotten rid of.
Yeah.
Because he said, I want this guy to be the spokesman for Boris, who would be doing American-style press briefings.
Yep.
It'll change up.
And Boris said, no, I'm going to have this woman instead.
And this woman is not...
She's not Kayleigh McEnany, is she?
No, she doesn't sound like it.
So her qualifications are that she's a smear merchant, ex-smear merchant...
She used to work for The Guardian, BBC, and ITV. Jesus!
Why would you hire this person?
Great, okay.
We'll get rid of Dominic Cummings, base Dominic Cummings, and then hire a Guardian Easter.
Essentially, yeah.
The reason she seems to have been able to go from Guardian Easter to this position is she used to be the comms director for Rishi Sunak.
What's her name?
Aguilera Stranton.
I'll just put it in the chat because I can't pronounce the last one.
But right, okay, so the Conservatives are, well, it looks like they're buckling, right?
On everything.
Everything that's half decent.
Well, this is Boris, so it's him specifically.
So he's buckling on everything.
Yeah, the other gossip is he's getting pressure to do this, but I don't believe that at this point.
I'm sure he's getting a load of pressure, but at the end of the day, Boris, you're the Prime Minister, and you just say, no, get out.
I fire you all, you know?
You're the one who makes the decisions.
According to the Financial Times, the pressure is coming from Conservative MPs.
I don't want percentage.
Purge them!
What do you want?
You've got an 80-seat majority, man.
It's like, oh, six years of upset, well...
Yeah, you know, get out!
Jesus, man, be aggressive!
Again, like, if you'd taken the sort of Trumpian tact and been a bit, you know, popular and populist and come out and been gregarious, if I can get the word out, and just, you know, give regular press briefings, do a few, you know, like, Trump-style rallies or something, Boris could be the most popular man in the country, bar none.
And he could just come out with the common sense...
You know, generally popular positions that he ostensibly stood for when he was running.
And he could be dominating the political environment of the country.
And yet he's like a hermit, locked up in Downing Street.
Whoever hears from him?
No, you never hear from him.
I think the last time we heard from him...
Well, he gives these press briefings.
No one watches the press briefings on coronavirus.
No one watches the press briefings.
It's not what...
It's the same news every day.
By the way, some people have died of coronavirus.
Oh, it's looking bad.
Please stay safe.
Please use a mask.
It's like, yeah, okay, we are.
If you're going to tell me the same thing, I've got stuff to do.
Exactly.
I'd rather tune into Bolsonaro's view on the coronavirus pandemic.
I don't think we can air that.
No, we can't.
But that was the way to handle it.
Google Bolsonaro coronavirus and you'll get some good results.
And this is coming from a man who got stabbed on the campaign trail and then had the coronavirus afterwards.
He's not being airy about the fact that he's just like, stop being a wuss about it.
And that's kind of the opinion that we just have to have.
It's just got life, isn't it?
To some extent, yeah.
I mean, the government isn't even tracking it separately to flu now.
I don't know.
I don't know anything about coronavirus.
Okay, well that's true.
The government is tracking coronavirus and the flu in the same category now.
Okay.
So flu deaths and coronavirus deaths are just packaged together.
I can almost see the reasoning for that as well.
I bet some civil servant was like, oh, it would simplify administration.
They're basically the same thing, you know.
But the flu deaths were massively down when the coronavirus was raging.
It's like, really?
That makes me think too.
The hospitals are not overflowing.
I don't know what to tell you.
Let's get back to Brexit, because I don't know anything about this.
I do, but go on.
I don't want to comment anything silly.
So yeah, so she used to be ex-com director for Rishi Sunak, the now chancellor, and this is the main reason I think she got it, is she's married to the political editor of The Spectator.
Who's that?
Some guy, but...
Well, obviously some guy, but like...
But it's very incestuous.
Maybe a bad term, but the fact that she's, you know, comms director, bumped around all these media spheres, you know, married to a guy who runs a major right-leaning outlet.
It's like, okay, that's why you got picked for the job?
Sounds of nepotism.
Well, it's cronyism.
Yeah.
But I think, you know, we could characterize this as the cathedral sinking its tendrils into Boris even deeper.
Because, I mean, it's not like...
You know, Boris isn't some anti-immigration guy or anything like that.
He's not a UKIPA. You know, he's not someone who actually has the best interests of the country at heart.
I think he just enjoys playing Patriot on TV. You think it's that bad?
I have my fears now.
I mean, I don't see how you could...
Literally be given.
And the thing is, it's not just that he has the raw power to do all of this, right?
He does, by a massive amount.
But it's also the moral mandate that's been given.
The Brexiteers won, and then they won again, and then they won again, and then you crushed...
Corbyn.
You crushed him.
On the campaign trail with a mandate of, I'm going to be sort of like the populist, pro-British patriot who cares about the working class.
We're going to do a good job here.
Britain's a great country.
We can get out there and do it.
And then silence.
And then slowly but surely the negativity and sort of like, you know, the people who I wouldn't trust with the country's future are creeping in the background.
People who I would actually think are working in the country's best interest, like Cummings, are being removed.
And it looks like things will be returning to business as normal, and that's not good.
It was business as normal that caused all of this to happen.
You can say, oh, we'll go back to the previous paradigm.
No, we'll just get the same results.
We may as well move forward.
I'm almost going to make the leftist argument against the conservative narrative, which is like, you're just going back to the past.
The past didn't work.
It's done.
We need to get the future now.
Moreover, the past was set by Tony Blair.
Yes.
Why do we want to go back to Tony Blair's past?
You know, I'm not a reactionary.
I don't want to go backwards.
I want to go forwards into a glorious age where we have removed absolutely every trace of Tony Blair from all of British history, in fact.
Get the chisel out.
Get rid of his name off the records.
It will literally be like they did to Akhenaten, where they carve his name off of the temple walls.
Because it's terrible.
It's terrible.
It's all gone around.
Yep.
Or the country will, you know.
There's a couple more quotes from this Financial Times piece, which is, like, it's gossip, I know, but this is all central party stuff really is.
Yeah, this is insider gossip, so there's probably more truth to it than people who care to admit.
So, the quote here is from a senior Tory MP. There was also a wave of protests from senior women in the party, including Mr.
Johnson's fiancée, Carrie Simmons, who resent the macho atmosphere in number 10.
Carrie and Aguilera got one over on the boys' club.
So essentially they managed to kick out this guy that Dom wanted in charge of speaking, and now they've managed to kind of get rid of Dom, is the narrative that he's been kicked out.
Right, okay.
Well, I mean, I guess that it won't be as macho anymore, which is definitely the thing that I expect will make Brexit work.
You know, a more feminine Brexit.
That's what we need.
Like, we literally had a female Prime Minister.
It was the worst outcome possible.
Like, upset everyone, so...
I'm not saying it's because they're women, but I'm saying it's because of that outlook.
What would Jordan Peterson say about confrontation and competitiveness and things like that?
How men and women just happen to have natural tendencies towards cooperation and competition?
As an example of this matroness, I think it's the Home Office or the Treasury has had to pay out tens of thousands of pounds in a settlement with an employee that Dominic Cummings got rid of today.
And it's because she was accused of leaking information.
And he was just like, right, I'm not wasting any time.
I'm not going to bother.
I think it's you.
So give me your ID card.
Took the ID card and said, all right, yeah, you're fired.
Please escort her out of number 10.
Thanks.
But to be honest, I mean, in the high levels of government, that's kind of what I expect to happen.
Absolutely.
Like, if this is someone under you who you suspect of leaking, I mean, sure.
You're not running a nursery.
Yeah.
Like, this is the British government.
You're in charge of an entire country.
This is the highest levels of the British hierarchy in which the competition is...
Intense, presumably, yeah.
So, the fact that you're treated like that doesn't surprise me in the slightest.
No, absolutely not.
You should be on alert all the time and doing the right thing, not like, you know...
Yeah.
They didn't settle the court case, so I don't know what the legal truth of it would be, but they...
Sorry, didn't end the court case.
But they settled just because I think they were a little bit weird.
For some reason, someone in the chat is asking if you have a girlfriend.
Yeah, I do.
Go away.
And now he's in trouble just because you asked.
I know who that is, I just recognised the name.
Anyway, there's one more quote here.
Mr Johnson now twice overruled Mr Cummings on big personal issues, the appointment of Miss Stranton, and his refusal to make Mr Cain Chief of Staff.
So making that lady instead of Mr Cain.
Boris has now gone against the DOM crew twice.
All the trust is gone.
So the gossip is that this has been building for a little while.
There's also a rumour that, you remember there was a leak that we're going to have second lockdown?
And everyone was like, how did that happen?
And then there was that massive leak.
And then suddenly we're in the second lockdown right now.
Yeah, and there was that massively delayed press conference where they were re-picking it.
Didn't they actually bump it ahead of when they were supposed to be having it because the rumour got out of control?
Yeah, and then they realised they weren't ready, so they had to wait like four hours.
But the gossip is that it was Dominic who leaked that.
I bet base Dominic wasn't in favour of a second lockdown.
No, I bet he wasn't.
But I don't know how to feel about it.
I've seen some conservative websites I follow.
I went on there to see what the comments were.
And a lot of them are thinking, well, if he did leak it, stuff him.
And I get that argument of, like, you shouldn't leak things from Number 10, especially sensitive stuff.
But a part of me, the sympathiser with Edward Snowden here, is thinking, actually, maybe we should know.
Yeah, I mean, this was super important, and it gave people time to prepare.
I don't know why you have to give a...
You know, why is it special that it has to come from the Prime Minister explaining this stuff?
I mean, I don't understand it.
I'm sure someone can explain it in the comments.
I'm sure there are reasons, but at the end of the day, I mean, I'm not happy with the way that the Conservatives are going at all.
I'm severely regretting my vote.
Yeah.
I mean, you can defend yourself by saying, well, the alternative was Corbyn.
And that seemed like a valid way of viewing it, but at the end of the day, this is not what I signed up for.
I didn't sign up for lockdowns.
I didn't sign up for second lockdowns.
I didn't sign up for concerns about left-wing stuff.
I signed up for someone who's just going to absolutely destroy the left, and Boris ain't that guy.
I've got no...
There's no good news, is there?
I'm the black pill guy.
Yeah.
Like, every story I do is just like, yeah, this is messed up, this is destroyed, this is a rape gang.
I've got to get new topics.
Well, I mean, it's...
It's not looking good, frankly.
No.
Anyway, but there's one more thing to say on this.
So I laid out the options.
He can either capitulate on fishing, which is a red flag, kind of that, or he can leave with no deal, or he can do another Theresa May and give us a shite deal.
And with these rumours, so the gossip and the rumours essentially indicate that he's going to go for either the Theresa May style or capitulate on fishing.
God.
And both of those will probably destroy the party's legitimacy.
I mean, he did say, he did put forward the implication that he would go no deal if we didn't get the deal we wanted.
Yeah.
I mean, this is the point.
If he does not go New Deal, if he does not get the fishing negotiated properly, he's destroyed all his credibility.
And it's not just Boris.
I mean, you know.
Boris is just a man.
The party and that movement will be dead for two, three elections, maybe?
Great.
Because...
There's always this argument that, oh, UKIP rose on people who never voted, and then when it came to general elections, they haven't really voted, so maybe they don't matter so much.
But this last election, the energy around the fact that it was get Brexit done, good deal or no deal, endlessly.
I mean, I went out knocking on doors, and everyone I spoke to, it was the same thing.
They were either tribal conservative voters, or the ones whose minds you could flip, were always, yep, get Brexit done, and also Corbyn's a maniac, I'm not electing him.
I remember after the election, I think it was Labour activists and Corbyn himself came out and said, oh, it wasn't my personality or my character that swung it.
That was down the issues list.
It was more about Brexit.
And I was like, yeah, you're kind of right.
But when I was knocking on doors, I was literally told, talk about Boris and then talk about Corbyn.
Like, Corbyn was the second thing to bring up if they didn't like Boris.
And if all you had to do was say Corbyn's name, and people were like, no, no.
Well, this is what a bunch of the Labour activists themselves said, the MPs and their canvassers.
This came back.
I can't remember which one I'm quoting here, but I just recall watching this interview where she was just like, well, I mean, you can say what you like about, you know, your polls and stuff, but on every doorstep they said, I don't like Corbyn, I don't like Corbyn, I don't like Corbyn.
And that's why they voted Conservative.
Yeah.
But, you know, Corbynism is defeated now.
There's no risk there.
So the Conservatives can't bank on the idea of Corbynism again, so they can have an easy win.
And if they lose this, they are dead as a party, in my view, for a couple of elections.
It just strikes me as being cowardice, because Trump has genuinely shown that a patriotic popular movement is possible.
And that this can be successful, and this can triumph in the face of the establishment media being against you.
You just have to be prepared to take the fight to them.
And Boris is clearly just not prepared to take the fight to them.
He's clearly not that man.
Which is a real shame, because it would have been cute if he was.
But what do you reckon?
Let's run some, you know, just some funsies to try and make this ending a little bit better than the pure black pills.
Let's say he does go WTO and does deliver, at least on that.
And then he's got the credibility.
The party will keep the credibility, at least, on that issue.
Getting rid of, well, not getting rid of, but he resigns or leaves.
Who would you ideally want to replace him?
Would it be Priti Patel?
Would it be Sarva Javid?
You have any idea?
Well, I mean, they're the closest to someone I might agree with on the issues, but honestly, I just find the Conservatives to be...
You don't see any top talent?
No, not at all.
I see a bunch of very tightly hemmed in sheep who are being constantly nipped at by the sheepdogs of the media.
And they're constantly having their heels bitten and the rest of the sheep get them back in line.
And they carry on straight towards the shearing shed, wherever it is, that's controlled by Jeremy Corbyn.
It's like the anti-shearing party, but we just let up an inch.
Yeah, exactly.
How about you just ignore the sheepdogs or take on the sheepdogs?
Stop allowing them to nip your heels and force you into line.
God, I hate the Conservatives so much.
They're so weak.
No, they're so weak, it really annoys you.
You were just in the best position to turn around and say, shut up, media.
We're doing this.
Watch us.
Enjoy it, you know?
This is the second time in four years as well.
I mean, Theresa May, you remember, everyone says, oh...
I've seen people criticising you for saying, how could you support Theresa May when she's turned out so bad?
Literally, go back and watch the initial clips of when she was running as the candidate.
She was very strong.
Unbelievably strong.
Like, it was perfectly reasonable to expect her to do the right things.
If she just stood by her guns...
I mean, she lays out this brilliant armament.
You know, we're going to get all this done, you know, Brexit means Brexit, all this sort of stuff.
And then just, like, it just collapses in like a house of cards, and there's nothing there.
It's like, okay...
Well, that was a disappointment.
Go on then, Boris.
Show us how it's done.
If he does the same thing.
What's happening at the moment?
The thing that's important to remember is Brexit is not just about leaving the European Union.
There is an ethos underlying the thesis of Brexit that people were buying into, that Britain should be a sovereign country, it should be in control of itself, and it should be a British country.
You know, we're not a European country.
And I think if you were to ask every single person who, you know, voted for Brexit, what are you voting for?
They'd say to leave the European Union.
And then if you were to ask them a follow-up question like, you know, should Britain model itself more on British traditions or European traditions?
They'll say British traditions.
100% or almost 100%.
You know, because that's, I think, what they're really asking for.
You know, in essence, I think there's a kind of nostalgia for the kind of country Britain was and should be in the future that they're voting for there.
Yeah.
Well...
But anyway...
Let's see if Boris delivers or dies.
Speaking of voting, should we go on to the next one?
What is the next one, actually?
I haven't got to read all your notes.
It's alright.
I've got it.
I've been reading through government data all day.
Yep.
So, evidence continues to mount of election fraud in the United States.
Lots has come in.
We're not actually going to cover everything that's come in yet because there is, frankly, just too much and it's all very much up in the air at the moment.
But what I thought we'd talk about is, for example, we've got slide one up.
On the 6th of November 2020, there was a Texas social worker who was charged with 134 felony counts in an election fraud investigation.
If convicted, Kelly Brunner faces up to 10 years in prison for the alleged offences.
The state-supported living centres that she worked in serve people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and she had allegedly submitted voter registration applications for 67 residents without their signature or consent while purporting to act as their agent, this being, and she had allegedly submitted voter registration applications for 67 residents without their This being, of course, illegal.
Okay, so she got the 134 because of the number of people.
I thought she'd done it in 134 cities or something.
I was like, Jesus Christ, someone's been busy.
Just 134 times.
But yeah, so the Attorney General said that this...
He says,"...I strongly recommend the Limestone County District's Attorney's Office, Sheriff's Office and Elections Office as well as the Department of Health and Human Services for their outstanding work on this case and their commitment to ensuring a free and fair presidential election in the face of unprecedented voter fraud." So I wonder what else he knows.
If we can go on to the next one, this is an article from 2016.
In Pennsylvania, more than 100 years old and still voting.
This is the same phenomenon that's happening now.
As they say in this, hundreds of voters in recent elections in three eastern Pennsylvania counties were more than 100 years of age, with many over 110, according to the official voter registration rolls that are open to the public.
Uh...
In Philadelphia, a report called Aliens and Felons, Thousands on the Voting Roles in Philadelphia, states that election officials in Philadelphia take no proactive steps to prevent or remove alien registration, and that thousands of ineligible felons are on the rolls, election officials do nothing about it, and don't even think it's a problem.
Going back to the Pennsylvania one, if we can go to the next slide, we can actually just look at...
The voter registration rolls, and that's them there.
And as you can see, I've taken the liberty to highlight the ballot returned date field.
And if you want to just track your eyes across to the date of birth, you can see that there's people who were born in 1800 there.
Now, the first of the first 1800 is clearly a placeholder date where they don't know the date of the person.
However, you have to go through these voter rolls So these people might not be people who were born in 1800?
Oh, 1850.
Presumably like.
But if you go through this website, it takes you six pages before you find an individual who is younger than 100.
Six pages of centenarians.
And all with return ballots.
These are the default 1800 ones.
But if you go down to the bottom of the page, you'll see the...
I've seen a lot more D's than R's in that column just next to it.
Yes, there is a lot more D's and R's as well.
But this is from the data.pa.gov website.
So this is the official government data.
And you can go through, I went through six pages to find people born in 1920.
So people who are 100 and less.
So there are literally hundreds and hundreds and hundreds.
And most of the dates, it's only on this beginning page that there are 1800 and over.
Most of them are like 1910, 1912, but they're all different dates.
Is this just Pennsylvania?
This is just Pennsylvania.
So statewide, it's probably even worse.
Sorry, nationwide.
Well, it's hard to know, obviously.
But it does seem that it's a persistent problem across Pennsylvania.
What was happening in America?
Oh, sorry.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm just thinking, are these cowboys?
1800?
They probably were when they were alive.
But no, the ones that are saying 1800, I don't think you have to worry about those.
I should have taken pictures from pages 2 and 3.
Yeah, but even like 1850, 1870, you've still got a bit of a Wild West out there.
Well, yeah, of course.
But the point is, you know, it's people from like 1905, you know, 1917.
And so, like I said, it was six pages until you get someone who's younger than 100.
And many of them, in fact, most of them seem to have returned ballots as well.
So I don't know what it is about people in Pennsylvania just being really old but really still engaged with democracy.
Just for reference, I believe the oldest man alive was a Japanese man who lived to 116, and he's the oldest documented one.
Yeah, I mean, obviously this is highly suspect.
But what we're doing here is we're going through previous examples of election fraud.
We can go to the next one, please, John.
This is from January the 16th, 2020, from the Associated Press.
Where a Georgia election server showed signs of tampering in Georgia, one of those highly contested states.
Logan Lamb, a computer security expert, filed a sworn affidavit with the Atlanta Federal Court, saying he found that a forensic image of the election server central to a legal battle over the integrity of Georgia elections had showed signs that the original server had been hacked.
The server had been left exposed to the internet for at least six months, a problem the same expert discovered in 2016, which was subsequently wiped clean mid-2017 with no notice, just days after election integrity activists filed a lawsuit seeking an overhaul of what they call the state's just days after election integrity activists filed a lawsuit seeking an overhaul of what they call
State officials, however, say that they've seen no evidence that any election-related data was compromised, but they've also refused to submit an image of the server for an independent examination.
Have you seen... you mentioned Lam.
Have you seen his video on this?
No.
Edward Snowden tweeted out yesterday, so go to Edward Snowden's Twitter and you'll see it.
Really good, because he lays out how you just said they have no evidence, or at least they haven't seen any ability, whether or not there's been tampering.
He lays out how you could just do it and no one would ever know.
And he even does it in front of a bunch of students, like he has a university, he brings a couple of these voting things in.
Potentially a throwback from 2019.
Yeah, yeah, so it's long before.
So you can't say, oh, this is Trumpism, or they're trying to argue because they've lost.
No, this guy proved it before.
This is all happening before the 2020 election.
Lots of evidence that there is voter fraud already.
But he has two voting machines, and that's the university students vote which university's best, their one or their main rival.
And the main rival wins, of course, and he does the whole thing in front of them, and no one has any idea how he's done it.
And it's just like, you just put in some malware code, you can even have it as the person's interpreting it, and...
Yeah.
And from a program perspective, this is not very difficult at all.
Yeah, which is why electronic voting is a terrible idea.
It is.
We need to go back to pottery shards.
One man, one vote, in person.
Pottery shards?
That's how the Greeks did it.
Literal?
Literal shards of pottery, where they put the candidate's name on.
Oh, that's cute.
They were called ostraca, because they were used primarily for ostracism.
And so you would have people...
Well, like you blackball someone from society.
Yeah, they literally...
If someone was too popular or too powerful, they would have a vote.
And if there was a majority vote, they would ostracise them from society.
And you laugh, but wouldn't that be useful?
That was just too popular.
Oh my god, imagine the amount of people you could get rid of.
Wouldn't that just be a useful thing to have now?
Yeah.
John's got the video up.
Obviously I'm joking.
We should not be able to...
We can't hear it, but don't worry about the video for now.
But yeah, go check out Edward Snowden's Twitter, it's on there.
Yeah, but obviously we don't want to be able to simply vote to ostracise people from society.
That's why constitutionalism is superior to direct democracy.
But anyway, if we can go to the next slide, please.
This is where it starts getting spicy, because the God Emperor himself has come down from his golden throne and tweeted in block capitals, REPORT! Dominion deleted 2.7 million Trump votes nationwide.
Data analysis finds 221,000 Pennsylvania votes switched from President Trump to Biden.
940,000 Trump votes deleted.
States switched using Dominion voting systems switched 435,000 votes from Trump to Biden.
Obviously you get a little Twitter message at the bottom saying this claim about election fraud is disputed.
But at least they're not censoring his tweet in its entirety, which I guess is a step up for Twitter.
I am seeing O-A-N-N there, as in his source.
Yeah.
A little bit like...
Yeah, I don't know much...
But you see how I can use my own intuition, Twitter?
I don't have to have you label it.
Yeah, but the thing is, I'm not saying they're wrong just because of who they are.
No, but it does make me suspect.
But they are a partisan media organisation, yes.
But then, I guess we are as well, so we can't...
Well, the New York Times isn't going to publish that, are they?
Yeah, exactly.
You can give them the information, they'll be like...
It's hard to imagine what a non-partisan media organisation would look like at this point.
But anyway, if we can get to the next one, there does appear to be concerns about this, reported by...
This is a one Melissa Carone, who is a poll watcher in...
No, I can't remember where it was.
I can't remember which one she was watching, but she was a poll watcher somewhere.
And she gave a sworn affidavit as well.
And I'm going to read some of it out because, I mean, this is just her sworn testimony of what she saw regarding the Dominion vote counting systems in the state where she lives.
Can we get the next one up so people can see it?
These are quite staggering allegations.
I'll have to zoom in on that.
You might have to zoom in a bit.
But she says, At which the counter should discard the issue ballot on top of the batch and re-scan the entire batch.
I witnessed countless workers re-scanning batches without discarding them first, which resulted in ballots being counted four or five times.
At approximately midnight, I was called over to assist one of the counters with a paper jam and noticed his PC had a number of over 400 ballots scanned, which means one batch was counted over eight times.
This happened countless times while I was at the TCF Centre.
I confronted my manager, Nick Economakias, a Greek name I can't really pronounce, saying how big of a problem this was.
Nick told me he didn't want to hear that we have a big problem.
He told me that what we are here to do is assist with IT work, not run their election.
The adjudication process, from my understanding, there's supposed to be a Republican and a Democrat judging these ballots.
I overheard numerous workers talking during shift change in which 20 machines had two Democrats judging the ballots resulting in an unfair process, so no Republican.
Next I want to describe what went on during the shift change.
It was a chaotic disaster.
It took over two hours for workers to arrive at their assigned areas.
Over 30 workers were taken upstairs and told they didn't have a job for them to do.
These people were chosen to be counters, in which six workers admitted to me they had received absolutely no training at all.
Night shift workers were free to come and go as they pleased.
They could go out and smoke from the counting room.
This is illegal.
And there were boxes and stacks of ballots everywhere.
Anyone could have taken some out or brought some in and no one was watching them.
There were two vans that pulled into the garage of the counting room.
One on day shift and one on night shift.
These vans were apparently bringing food into the building because they only had enough food for not even one third of the workers, but I never saw any food coming out of these vans.
Coincidentally, it was announced on the news that Michigan had discovered there were...
Oh, she was in Michigan, sorry.
Discovered over more than 100,000 more ballots, not even two hours after the last van had left.
When a worker had a ballot that they either could not read or something had spilled on it, they would go to a table that had a blank balance on it and fill them out.
They were supposed to be filling them out exactly like the one they had received, but this was not the case at all.
The workers would sign the name of the person that the ballot belonged to, which is also illegal.
And then there was another thing...
There are a few other things.
But as you can see, this is not...
I mean, if they just scanned ballots like four or five times, then no wonder the votes seem to be so goddamn inflated.
Yeah, I mean, that might be a mistake, but it's...
I mean, we've been to a vote count for the EU elections, and the way it works in Britain is you literally just get the ballots, take them out, count it, stacks of a few hundred, and you stack them all up at the front, every party is there, everyone can see the whole thing.
Everyone can see everything.
Yeah, and it's literally done by hand, because why would you want to use a machine?
And then you can just see the stacks of ballots that have been sorted into each particular party.
Yeah.
So it's very transparent.
No one brings in any more.
Like, all of the votes get in, and then it's done, and then we all start counting.
Yeah, it's very transparent.
I mean, I never felt that there was any danger of us having the election stolen.
Yeah, but especially there was no real threat of election fraud because you could see the whole process.
I don't know why you'd use electronic counters.
Like, electronic voting is hard enough already.
I just wouldn't trust it.
Like I said, pottery shards.
That's how we're going back.
It's the only way to get fair elections.
But she's making very specific claims.
Yes.
She's saying this under oath, right?
This is a sworn testimony.
Yeah, so if she is lying, let's say, you know, there's a potential that she's some hyper Trump partisan.
Then she's going to jail.
Yeah, she can be held accountable for this.
So...
I don't know why you wouldn't take this seriously.
Yep.
And like Kayleigh McEnany said, they've got 234 of these sworn testimonies.
Giuliani had something like 90.
There are lots and lots and lots of people who are supposed to be vote counters or election watchers who are coming out with all of these testimonies and just being completely front.
I mean, she went on Fox News, she showed everyone her face, everyone knows her name.
She's not being anonymous and it's not a whistleblower sort of James O'Keefe style or something like this.
No, no, she's just come straight out and said, no, I saw all of this.
This is...
It's an illegitimate election if what we've got there is true.
There's also something to mention here, which people mentioned last time, that Tim Pauls mentioned, which is the interesting thing about all this is that Trump's, I want to say Trump's narrative, but the main narrative you hear is all about election fraud.
And yet there are things to investigate, all the rest of it.
But the lawsuits he's filing generally aren't about election fraud.
They're process-based.
They're about processes.
She's mentioning about some of the processes they're doing and them being not legal or not following the code.
I think fraud is being used in a broad sense to suggest ballots are being counted that are not legitimate.
Which is fine.
I don't mind using it in that sense.
Yeah, he thinks it's purposeful.
He's playing a bit of 5D chess, which I'm not saying is not possible.
But I think it's more likely it's being used as a broad term.
But if we can go on to the next one, please, John.
This is another interesting addition to things that have happened.
So, a Pennsylvania court, Supreme Court, has ruled that mail-in ballots could be accepted three days after the election, but the Secretary of State, Kathy Bokvar, submitted guidance that said proof identification could be provided up to six days from the ballot acceptance guideline.
This guidance was issued two days before the election, and so the court has ruled that Cathy Bokvar, in her official capacity as Secretary of the Commonwealth, lacked the statutory authority to issue the 1st of November guidance, and therefore the court has ordered, it had previously ordered, that all of the ballots where the voters had provided proof between the 10th and the 12th should be segregated until a ruling was issued, And then the ruling that has been issued is that these ballots shouldn't be counted.
So who knows how many votes, presumably for Biden, that cuts off.
But the reason this matters is because these sort of error corrections do genuinely decide elections.
If you can go to the final one please, John.
This is a story from Breitbart where the Connecticut GOP House Representative Craig Fishbean was declared the loser in his race until a town clerk found an error had caused the race to be called for his democratic opponent.
When asked, the response was, I can't answer if it was a clerical error or a computer error in the elections management system.
All I know is that we caught it yesterday and amended it.
Oh, is this the 6,000 vote glitch?
No, no, this is a different one.
That was from the other day.
Yeah, exactly.
There are lots of examples of these glitches and these error corrections.
And this is an example of it actually swinging the election as well.
So this matters.
This really does matter.
From the suggestion, it could be that we're talking about millions of ballots that are either actively fraudulent, filled in by people who are not the person voting, or through error, ended up being counted four or five times, just inflating the number that came ended up being counted four or five times, just inflating the And if they're mail-in ballots and they overwhelmingly are in favor of Biden, then what you're looking at is obvious inflation of Biden's figures.
So, I mean, I, again, still don't think this election is over.
And I don't know where we're going to be by the end of it.
It's possible that Trump can still pull it out by the fact that the literal, lawful, the legal process of going through and counting the ballots may result that he wins and that Joe Biden loses.
Yeah, I mean, it's absolutely possible.
I mean, I watched Tim Paul's stream on this, and he was saying exactly the same thing, which is that, you know, you might be able to call, I think real politics is now called Pennsylvania, but there are still ongoing lawsuits there, so don't say it's over.
Well, the dead seem to be voting in alarming numbers.
And if you go through and you have to, like, if you have to validate that the person is even alive, like, then it could well change.
All of this could change.
I just, I wanted to say, because I wonder if other, I was confused by that last slide, and I wonder if other people were confused as well, because it said Secretary of State, and I was thinking, does that mean she works for Trump's cabinet?
No, that's a local...
Secretary of the Commonwealth.
Yeah, no, no, no, but the Secretary of State for...
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Yeah, yeah.
So she's a Democratic Party as well.
Yes, yes.
I imagine...
Imagine my shock.
Yeah, that's the thing.
She doesn't work for the Trump administration.
And again, it's one of those things where, well, I mean, we asked all these Democratic elected officials, was there any cheating in the district?
No, no, no, there wasn't.
It was all hunky-dory.
It's like, well, you would say that.
I did nothing wrong.
I bet you would say that.
Who's going to say, no, no, yeah, by the way, I did it.
Yeah, exactly.
So there is plenty of evidence, again, still to suggest that there is open cheating in the US elections.
And the results are staggering, as we covered yesterday.
Why does Biden have such a huge number of votes?
I mean, like we said in the first episode, it was like, look, voter fraud can and does happen.
And it happens in every election.
It's just, is this close enough to be significant?
And the margins here are very close.
Razor thin.
Razor thin margins.
That's probably why there's so much talk around it this time.
There probably was in pretty much every election and for US president.
But it's usually overwhelming.
That's why I started with the...
Well, I say historic, but these are only going back a couple of years.
These other...
Yeah.
Examples, where it's like the Pennsylvania's, you know, long-running dead voters, the Texas workers charged with fraud, and the Georgia election server being attached to the internet and showing signs of tampering.
And these most recent allegations from people like Melissa Caron, I mean, these are really concerning things.
If I was...
If this had happened at the EU elections...
Oh, it would have been, you know, election interference, you know.
Yeah, we need a recount.
I mean, we're still going to win, but we still need a recount here because people have messed up bad.
Yeah, there'd be no question of it.
And Melissa Carone's one, where the ballots are going through multiple times, that to me is such a red flag.
And it should be so easy to check as well, because you can just search for duplicates.
Yeah, it's not hard to write code for that.
No, absolutely not.
If number has already been inputted, do not add number.
All you need to look for is the first name, second name, social security number, address, like postal code.
Just find any duplicates of that and remove the duplicates.
And if that's the case, then you could find yourself with a significantly reduced stack of votes.
Yeah.
Alright, I think we're past the hour.
Oh, I wanted to take some questions.
Yeah, well, let's do it.
We don't have a booking today, so we...
No, yeah, let's take some questions.
Like, some people were saying, oh, isn't it bad that, you know, you guys have a set time.
We don't really have a set time, it's just there's only so many hours in the day as well.
Yeah.
Like, this has to be cut up and put up by five.
Yeah.
But yeah, do you want to take some questions?
Yeah.
Do you want to get the chat on the big screen as well, just so it's easier for Carl to see?
Yeah.
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
Can I see any questions?
How's the sound quality, Jack?
Hopefully good.
Should we do the ASMR? No.
No, you brought the good mics.
Yeah, we spent the time to get some decent mics.
Shut up.
Spin quality is poor.
Not spinning enough.
Yeah, well, I'm trying not to spin.
I've been working discipline.
This is the thing.
Discipline.
So excited for the book club.
Yeah, Thomas Paine's Common Sense will be up when the website's back up.
I'm very excited for the book club.
We've got a lot of good stuff lined up.
Did you see Alex Jones on Tim Paul's show?
I saw the first hour when they were ramping up into interdimensional child blood-sucking vampires or something.
Tim's face was priceless.
Alex and Michael Malice were clearly enjoying themselves.
I was enjoying it.
Makes you think that maybe Alex Jones should start his own YouTube channel, doesn't it?
Yeah, wouldn't it be nice?
Yeah, I'm sure it'd be very popular.
Oh, God.
I mean, you've been with Alex.
He's a funny guy.
I imagine his staff have a thing where they kind of have to make sure he stays on a topic or whatever.
Is he like that in person?
Because he seemed like that on Tim's cast, where you've kind of got to manage him, because otherwise he will go off in a million directions.
Yeah, I mean, when he was there, he's the boss, so everyone was just doing what they were supposed to do.
But yeah, I mean, when you're talking to him, you have to kind of keep him grounded.
He's a nice guy.
You have those earpieces.
I'm not saying there's anything wrong.
It's actually one of the things that makes him amazing.
But you guys have those earpieces.
Did you ever have people shouting?
Because we shout at you on stream sometimes.
It's like, are you doing this wrong?
Do you have any guests lined up?
Not at the moment, because we've just launched.
Lockdown.
We will have guests when people are allowed to move out of their houses.
The tyrannical conservative government is shutting everything down.
Should election fraud count as treason?
It's a bit strong, isn't it?
Well, it depends on the country.
Because, I mean, in the US it's still the death penalty.
Over here I think it's just life in prison.
What, election fraud?
Yeah.
No, no, no, I mean treason.
Damn, man.
The Democrats are really bold.
Would life imprisonment seem right for an election fraud in the UK? I mean, those guys in Birmingham have literally taken the mickey.
I mean, maybe.
I'm not saying no.
Why the hell are you messing with elections?
There does need to be a strong deterrent.
There is a massive breach of trust there, public trust.
And if we want the system to work, we have to all have a commitment to the integrity of the system, or else we may as well just all start shooting each other in the street.
So people who are endangering and casting, you know, who are taking action that brings the election into doubt, I think you could suggest are taking part in a process that will end up in public violence.
I mean, they're literally destroying the society.
I mean, if there's not treason...
Yeah, they're actively undermining the political system in order to create illegitimate rulers.
So you can frame it in strong ways if you wanted.
I'm glad that the woman from Texas is facing 10 years in jail.
She deserves it.
Yep.
Your thoughts on 9th edition 40K? I haven't kept up with it.
Oh, I haven't.
I played 4K when it was like 3rd edition.
So I'm not familiar with the rules.
I assume you haven't kept up with the lore either.
No, not really.
Should we talk about it or not?
Just a question about the Emperor.
No, no.
Never mind.
Do you still do archery?
No, no.
I haven't got a garden anymore, really.
Could get you a little plastic one.
Do it against the wall.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What are you going to do when the Electoral College votes are certified and all of Trump's posturing has made zero changes to the results?
Well, if there's any particular evidence that there was cheating, then we might disagree with the certification, I suppose.
Yeah, but if it all goes through...
And it all seems legit.
Do the investigation.
If, yeah, it's all kosher.
Then there we go.
Congratulations, President Biden.
It's that simple.
You were really popular.
You really gripped people.
You got them out in their tens of thousands all across America.
Your final day's worth of campaigning was staggering.
Five...
Oh, no, that was Trump's, wasn't it?
Yeah.
Sorry, one speech at nine o'clock and then to bed.
Yeah, it will be a minor miracle if Joe Biden just happens to be the most popular politician in all of human history in the United States without cheating.
I think that we should take him at his word when he said that he's got the largest voter fraud organisation in history backing him up.
I don't see why we would doubt him.
So if that happens, Trump 2024 or no?
Because Trump's hinting at it.
Well, I mean, sure.
If he goes for it?
Well, who's better going to come along?
Unless Tucker is going for it.
You know what's interesting?
I think he'll be as old as Biden is now in four years.
And he'll probably still be in better shape.
Yeah.
Like, there's some great pictures of him before and after the presidency.
He's like the only president who has an age.
Who got younger.
Yeah, he's had so much fun that it's just not affected him.
Yeah, he seems to be well cut for the job, doesn't he?
I imagine business does that to you.
Yeah, he seems to be the sort of person who enjoys fighting.
BF for Dominic Cummings in the chat.
And let's hope that...
I mean, we are Trump supporters, just for anyone who is watching who didn't know that somehow.
We like Trump and we want him to win.
And I think there is more than enough evidence to cast a lot of doubt on the, especially the contested spaces, the contested states.
There's more than enough evidence to cast doubt on these things.
But it could be that in the end Trump does lose and Biden does win.
Yeah.
It is extremely close, though.
That's one of the irritating things about this election, actually.
Because I was running in my head before it finished, okay, let's say it's a Biden landslide.
It's the same as when there was a Trump victory.
The left have to seriously rethink what they're doing, because they're doing some stuff that's turning a lot of people off.
And I was thinking, if it's a Biden landslide, fair enough, the Trump campaign's got to do some rethinking.
Because if you turn off that many people, then, you know, fair enough, you've got to rethink it.
But it hasn't happened.
I mean, if he wins, it'll be by a puddle.
It won't be by a landslide or a wave.
No, it'll be by the skin of his teeth.
But honestly, I think that it is persuasive to suggest that in every other respect that Trump should have had a landslide here and that it may have been stolen.
I mean, it makes a coherent picture of why Joe Biden ended up winning so bigly, when in every other respect, it was actually looking like it was going to be a Trump landslide.
And in every other respect, it was a Trump landslide.
What do you think of Ted Cruz 2024?
I like Ted, but I don't think he's got the raw sort of charisma and magnetism that Trump has.
Like, Trump commands the stadium, right?
I don't know about Ted.
To be honest, I quite like him.
I've been watching him in the Senate, like when he had Andy Ngo over to talk about things or a few other speeches he's been giving.
He's very good.
He does absolutely get what he's talking about.
He's thought about it.
He's also very good on tech.
Like, not just criticizing Facebook and Twitter.
I wasn't talking him down, but...
Oh, yeah, you're just saying character-wise, Trump's more charismatic, which...
Trump is way more charismatic.
And, like, when Trump is talking to the stadium, it's just like he's doing a live stream, like we're doing now.
He should have turned the Super Chats on and funded his campaign.
But I don't think Ted Cruz has quite got that kind of...
Like, kind of an instinctive or rhetorical skill that Trump has.
Certainly not yet.
I'd agree with you.
I mean, maybe he will, but, like, When I said he's good on tech, I didn't just mean they're good on criticizing Facebook and all the rest of it.
He's actually one of the very early adopters of the idea that elections need to be run on data, that you need to get this sorted out.
Because it's one of the things the Democrats do incredibly well.
They're very early adopters of it.
Like the Obama campaign stormed it, apparently.
The natural bureaucratic tendencies of the left come out, yeah.
Yeah, like the first Obama campaign, my understanding is the Democrats had it all set up, so they were looking at what car you have, what mail-in you have, what TV shows you watch, all the data stuff that's pretty common today.
And the Republicans just did none of it.
They just hadn't adopted the idea.
And it was only Ted's campaign running for him getting a position that we're doing it.
Maybe he'll be good at getting them on a par with that niche stuff that you've got to get done.
Yeah.
Right, anyway, thank you everyone for watching.
Sorry at the moment the website's still down, but we are working very hard, and we'll probably be having to engage with some new people to get the website fixed, so I'm really, really sorry.
We consider it mission critical, and it's very frustrating that it's not up.
