	The Lotus Eaters I'm joined by Carl.
	Hello!
	And today we're going to be talking about Biden dying on his knees, also Bolsonaro's march on Congress, and what's happening with the Afghan refugees.
	Hmm.
	Now they're all going to be settled.
	Only women and children, I am sure.
	But a couple of things to mention first on the website, so some of the stuff we have going up.
	So the first thing here is Josh's article about the psychological impact of lockdowns.
	I believe this is premium, so go and check that out, because Josh's having a psychological background.
	I think he's got a master's degree in psychology.
	He can actually speak with authority to this subject.
	So it's an excellent article.
	I read it earlier.
	It was really good.
	Alright, so go and check that out.
	The next one we have up is an interview.
	I can't remember.
	I think he did this as well, which is an interview with a guy, the ActiVote app, which is something he set up.
	I'm not too familiar with that.
	I haven't seen this yet, so I can't say what's in it.
	Another thing you want to check out.
	And then the last thing to mention is the book clubs, because you want to talk about this.
	Yeah, well, because of the slight delay on me producing the book club for the Critical Race Theory doctrines, the Holy Bible of Critical Race Theory, because it's 500 pages and it's taking me some time to do, I just want to promote and recommend some of our previous book clubs because they're all fantastic and we're really proud of them.
	So if you're interested in hearing about books that you haven't got the time to read, like I do, then go check that out.
	Alrighty, without further ado, let's get into the news.
	Yeah, so Joe Biden and his Build Back Better buddies are failing.
	It's not going very well, and the resistance to what they're doing is becoming quite manifest when they're just going about their daily lives.
	And so I thought it was worth talking about.
	And you can see that Joe Biden is by far the most popular president in all of American history by the fact that across America, across college football landscape, fans in multiple stadiums have begun chanting F Joe Biden.
	If you can scroll down on this one, John, you can see it's not just like one or two.
	No, no, no.
	It's like half a dozen.
	Just keep going down.
	Keep going down.
	College football in America is a big thing, right?
	So we don't understand that because it's not.
	But you can see these full stadiums of people chanting F Joe Biden.
	Just over and over.
	Not a popular guy, it seems, and like I said, it just keeps going, right?
	So it's just one of those things where, right, this is kind of a way of taking the temperature of the nation, like a weather vane or something, right?
	So if we go to the next one, you can see that Sky News Australia here were reporting that he got heckled on his Hurricane Ida tour, which he did, and this kept going, because America at the moment, the East Coast is in the grip of Hurricane Ida, There's been massive flooding in New York and various other places.
	It's a humanitarian disaster.
	It's been bad.
	And Joe Biden finally decided to go down and deal with it, or at least speak to people, make an appearance.
	And if you can go to the next one, you get people just yelling at him in the street.
	Yelling, resign you tyrant!
	You're worthless.
	In New Jersey.
	Yeah.
	So not exactly, you know, Trump heartland or something.
	No, this is in the districts that apparently voted for him.
	He was shaking hands with locals and first responders, and people were not happy with him.
	He doesn't really care about their opinions.
	He seems to think that this is just Trump supporters.
	The only people who could oppose Joe Biden would be die-hard MAGA supporters.
	He said, none of them were shouting or complaining.
	Every one of them were thanking me as if it was something special that I were here.
	If you can get to the next one.
	I think this is one.
	Which is weird, because that's not what they were doing.
	And so he's pretending as if the people shouting weren't shouting.
	Now, it could well be that he's very old, forgot his hearing aid, and just couldn't hear the hecklers.
	Just wasn't aware of them.
	That is a possibility that I'm not going to rule out.
	But he did come and, I mean, here's an example of what one woman was yelling.
	My country is going to S and you're allowing it.
	I'm an immigrant and I'm proud of this country.
	I'd give my life for this country.
	You guys should be ashamed of yourselves.
	Hmm.
	Sounds like a typical white supremacist Trump voter.
	Later in that same speech, Biden acknowledged that he had been heckled, but claimed that those hecklers don't actually live in the area, and were upset about his position on climate change.
	Don't know why you would say that.
	like we can hear what the hecklers are saying joe the people who stand on the other side of those fences who don't live here who are yelling that we're interfering with free enterprise by doing something about climate change they don't live here they don't understand uh he apparently invoked climate change multiple times in his speech and said the scientific community had issued a code red and concluded that climate change is an existential threat to the united states That's not what they're talking about, Joe.
	That's not what they're angry about.
	And, of course, when trying to hear what Joe Biden's saying, well, good luck, because he mumbles nonsense all over the place.
	Wherever he goes, he just says something that's just gibberish.
	I mean, listen to this.
	And folks, the evidence is clear.
	Climate change poses an existential threat to our lives, to our economy, and the threat is here.
	It's not going to get any better.
	The question, can it get worse?
	We can stop it from getting worse.
	And when I talk about building back better, and Chuck is fighting for my program, our program on the Hill, When I talk about building back better, I mean you can't build to what it was before this last storm.
	You've got to build better so if the storm occurred again, there would be no damage.
	There would be.
	But that's not going to stop us, though, because if we just do that, it's just going to get worse and worse and worse, because the storms are going to get worse and worse and worse.
	And so, folks, we've got to listen to the scientists.
	And the economists and the national security experts, they all tell us this is code red.
	The nation and the world are in peril.
	That's not hyperbole.
	That is a fact.
	They've been warning us the extreme weather would get more extreme over the decade, and we're living in real time now.
	I mean, I don't know if it's going to get, like, can it be resisted then?
	Like, we're not going to build it back how it was, but we're going to build it back better, but it can't be resisted.
	I mean, the messaging is just all over the place.
	I mean, I did understand that, though.
	I mean, it was like...
	At least I could hear the words, I suppose.
	No, I did understand his train of thought.
	I mean, it was like listening to someone who doesn't speak English trying to explain the subject.
	But, I mean, it was there.
	You know, we're not going to build back like we were before.
	We have to build back with better defences against climate change because, you know, we have to resist the worst storms.
	But it's going to get worse and we can't stop it.
	Yeah, the storms are going to get worse and worse and we have to resist them.
	But then we can't stop it, which is the part of the sun worshippers who say that everything's going to hell in 12 years and we're all going to be dead.
	Yes.
	And so we're entering the stage of just contradicting gibberish.
	But anyway, so the question is, how's this affecting his polling?
	And it's not good.
	Joe Biden's polling has actually become negative now, and that's amazing, considering he is the media's golden boy and has had nothing but positive coverage from, well, left-wing and sort of, I don't know how to scroll, like neoliberal?
	Corporate media.
	Corporate media, yeah, that's a good way of putting it.
	He's had nothing but positive coverage, but I suppose that the Afghanistan debacle has shown that even they can't protect him forever.
	Now it's 49% disapprove, 45% approve.
	This was also shown by RealClearPolitics polling averages, if we can get to the next one.
	Pretty much.
	If you can scroll down, I think there's a...
	Is there a graph in here?
	Yeah, there is a graph.
	Well, there we go.
	As you can see at the bottom there, it's going into the negative.
	So the question is, how is the New York Times going to absolutely cope with this event?
	Because they have been doing everything they can to make sure that Joe Biden appears to be the glorious golden god of the United States, and he's not.
	I love this article.
	I love everything about it because it's raw copium.
	Absolute copium.
	Joe Biden's approval rating is on the downslope.
	As of Friday morning, it was 45% approval and 48% disapproval.
	You know, there is a laundry list of reasons for this.
	Not only is the United States still in the grip of a pandemic, but the Delta variant of the coronavirus has led to record infections in Florida and Texas.
	Yeah, no one's being like, Joe Biden sucks because of the coronavirus.
	No one's saying that.
	It's not in our bubbles, really, but when you go and check out CNN's comments section, you get these NPC Democrats who are like, yeah, Biden was going to cure the virus, and he hasn't.
	Maybe.
	Yeah, idiots.
	Maybe.
	I would be surprised if this was the majority.
	But anyway, so he also, at the same time, he faced a huge backlash from the press and his parts and opponents over the American withdrawal from Afghanistan.
	Now, I think this is where the majority of the reputational hit has come to Joe Biden, because there's just no covering this up.
	The, of course, the death of 13 US service members and the absolute catastrophe of arming the Taliban.
	So they're now one of the most powerful militaries in the world.
	And just allowing this to happen and pretending like everything was going according to plan.
	If that was the plan, Joe, I think that you deserve the dip in your popularity that you're experiencing.
	But anyway, so yeah, the administration quickly adjusted to the chaos, and now 124,000 people, including thousands of US citizens, have been evacuated from Afghanistan, so it's not all bad.
	Quickly adjusted to the chaos.
	I mean, there were just days and days of him giving press conferences, which meant nothing.
	Took no responses, and then, yeah, still nothing's happened on the ground, bro.
	Yeah.
	The Taliban have taken another city.
	Now they're taking Kabul.
	Now they're shooting people in the streets.
	Now they're, you know, executing pregnant women.
	Are you going to let this carry on?
	And Joe's like, yeah, so our partners in Afghanistan, yeah, it's, like I said, total cope from the New York Times.
	Taken together, though, you've got a pretty good explanation for why Biden is doing much worse with the public than he was at the beginning of the year.
	Put simply, we're still quite polarized.
	How about put simply, Joe Biden left thousands of Americans to the Taliban's tender mercies?
	How about that?
	I mean, that's something that's just unacceptable on both sides of the aisle, surely.
	You know, I've seen lots of Democrats complaining about this.
	Like, you know, verified checkmarks, Democrat activists.
	Just people like, look, that's not on.
	Like, we can't hide this.
	Yeah, this is just so obviously bad that this can't be allowed to continue.
	And Biden's done very little.
	I mean, well, that's not true.
	He's evacuated thousands of Afghanistanis.
	From Kabul, which is what everyone was asking for.
	You know, not the Americans who are left behind when the British and the Canadians were sending secret services in to get them.
	No, the special forces, sorry.
	No, it's fine.
	But anyway, so yeah, they basically complaining, oh, well, it's just political polarization.
	No, it's because you're Crap.
	You're doing a terrible, terrible job.
	And this is not even to mention the southern border and various other problems that Joe Biden is just presiding over ideologically.
	They don't care about any of these things.
	But anyway, so let's have a look at what's going on with the rest of the Build Back Better Brigade.
	The buddies who have all got together and been like, yeah, that's going to be our slogan.
	We're going to use across the world as if anyone likes it.
	Justin Trudeau is on the campaign trail because things are not going very well.
	He got booed.
	He gets booed a lot.
	People yelling F.U. Trudeau as he goes through his campaign rallies.
	If you go to the next one, there's another one heckling him, yelling you don't deserve another majority.
	Now this sort of behavior is generally quite unusual.
	Normally when politicians do their political campaigning, they don't actually get active segments of the public going to their rallies in order to boo them.
	That's a real sign that things are going badly.
	Also, when you're the Prime Minister or President and so forth and you go out, it's very stage-managed.
	It's not just some guy going out.
	They're guarded the whole way.
	They get released on their little thing to give their speech or whatever or hang out with the people who are already pre-approved or approved with them and then leave.
	But wherever Trudeau seems to go, he seems to encounter opposition.
	This one is a person just yelling, you don't deserve another majority, I hate you, basically.
	And then you get people pranking him.
	I'm going to go to the next one.
	I'm not going to play it because, again, he's swearing.
	But guys are like, oh, Justin Trudeau, can I get a photograph?
	And as Trudeau leans in, he goes, you commie F. And Trudeau's just like, right, okay, I've got to leave, which is good.
	The next one is him getting heckled again at another event with people chanting, Trudeau sucks, no vax, no pass, no vax, pass, no vax, pass.
	Of course, Trudeau's going to bring in vaccine passports.
	But look at the number of people.
	This is not small numbers of people who are appearing just at his regular stops.
	And it's getting more extreme, especially what I would consider to be by Canadian standards, because at one event in Ontario, London, Ontario, someone threw a bunch of gravel at him.
	Now, that seems small to us.
	It's not a milkshake.
	But I think it seems a bit out of character for the Canadians, doesn't it?
	It's not very polite, eh?
	I don't know.
	It just makes me think of the whole shoe meme with Bush.
	Yes.
	Yeah, except it's like, yeah, have some dirt.
	Pocket sand.
	Basically, yeah.
	So these were described as dime-sized rocks, so small rocks, and a handful of them were whizzed past the Prime Minister.
	Trudeau, at the time, dismissed the incident to reporters, saying it was little bits of gravel, it was no big deal.
	Yes, there's a fringe element in this country that is angry, that doesn't believe in science.
	Put a pin in that, because we're going to get back to Justin Trudeau's science in a minute.
	And that is lashing out with racist, misogynistic attacks.
	If you throw gravel with Justin Trudeau, it's a racist, misogynistic attack.
	He does know he's not wearing blackface right now, right?
	I mean, he may well be a black-faced woman, as John just pointed out, but he didn't publicly identify himself as a woman, at least prior to claiming this was a misogynistic attack.
	So, who knows?
	But he said he would not allow these voices whose special interest groups, those protesters...
	Ah, yes, they look like special interest groups to me.
	People with, like, handmade PPE signs going, piss off Justin.
	Yeah, they look like special interest groups.
	He says, those protesters, I don't even want to call them protesters, those anti-vaxxer mobs to dictate how this country gets through this pandemic.
	It's not people who are annoyed that you're selling Canada out and imposing a sort of tyranny on them.
	I think it might be those people.
	We'll get to what the tyranny is going to be in a minute.
	Still, Erin O'Toole, who's the leader of the Conservative Party, said he supports vaccinations, he also supports vaccine passports, and wrote on Monday that he was disgusted by the crowds throwing rocks at his political challenger.
	This is disgusting, and I condemn these actions in the strongest possible terms.
	Thanks, Conservatives.
	Yeah, well, you know, political violence should be condemned, but the point there being that, well, what's the difference between you and Justin if you're both pro-vaccine passports?
	Precisely.
	Trudeau then went out to make a statement saying, oh, this is not who we are as a country and decided to play the victim.
	Even though he'd been like, oh, it's no big deal.
	But now it's a big deal.
	You've got to pick one.
	Yeah.
	If you can go to the next one, he branded the violence, again, threw a bit of dirt at you, Justin, calm down.
	I mean, it was worse for me when I got milkshaked, you know, just saying.
	It was completely unacceptable.
	This is not who we are as a country.
	No, but it is who you are as a country to impose a two-tier system of government on the population, right?
	So the people without vaccines can't do anything, and the people with vaccines are a provost class.
	That's what you are as a country now, under your leadership.
	Very Canadian.
	Yeah, particularly Canadian.
	Totally not German.
	Yeah.
	And anyway, so he said it's totally unacceptable to be throwing things and endangering others at a political rally, especially when it's happened to me.
	He didn't say that, but that's the implication.
	So he says it's not just at political rallies this has happened.
	There are healthcare workers across the country are getting harassed and intimidated, bullied as they're going to work to keep people safe and alive.
	Store clerks, waitresses, people going about their daily lives, getting yelled and pushed around for wearing masks, for being vaccinated.
	That's not how we do things in Canada.
	That's probably an exaggeration.
	But if that's the case, why?
	Why is that happening?
	Why are deep social divisions being riven in your country because of your policies?
	In fact, let's have a look at the Canadian Prime Minister.
	His pro-science position is this.
	They are putting at risk their own kids and they're putting at risk our kids as well.
	That's why we've been unequivocal.
	If you want to get on a plane or a train in the coming months, you're going to have to be fully vaccinated so families with their kids don't have to worry that someone is going to put them in danger in the seat next to them or across the aisle.
	And we know The way to get through this as well is to make sure that people can go into non-essential businesses and feel safe that they're not going to catch COVID from someone next to them.
	Did you hear that?
	It's just a bald-faced lie.
	Like, if you get vaccinated, you won't catch COVID. It's just a lie.
	It's not true.
	Protect your kids.
	Kids aren't at risk of COVID. Okay.
	The risk is incredibly, incredibly low.
	Yeah, I mean, I saw a statistic there.
	It was 99.9967% survival rate for children.
	So it's just, it's not going to happen to you, right?
	So you can pass on COVID, even though you're vaccinated.
	It's not a risk for children.
	And in response to this demonstrable, and yeah, no effect on the lungs of kids either, as one study has shown, but the response he's going to have is, you can't get on a plane, you can't get on a train, or go into a non-essential business if you don't have a vaccine passport.
	That's absolute tyranny.
	That's awful.
	It also has nothing to do with the science.
	Nothing to do with the science.
	It's everything to do with his authoritarian control of the country.
	And so I guess it's good that Trudeau is lagging behind the Conservatives in the polls, as if that really means anything, because the Conservatives are going to do exactly the same thing, and it's not like it's a massive gap anyway.
	Of course, I personally am supporting the People's Party.
	Maxime Bernier, even though he's French, still think he's great.
	I personally think he's the best choice that Canada has, but of course, like UKIP, he's not going to win.
	He's leading the only party that is going to actually oppose vaccine passports and restore some semblance of freedom as we in the West had previously understood it.
	So I would suggest vote Maxime Bernier.
	But anyway, so, coming back to All Blighty, how's Boris doing?
	Do we have to?
	Yes, we have to.
	Boris is one of the Build Back Better buddies as well.
	Yeah.
	I know, I hate it.
	I hate it more than anything.
	But, he's...
	Well, we're not alone.
	Put simply, he has united two-thirds of the country nearly against him.
	8% don't really have an opinion, but...
	58% think he's doing badly, and only 35% think he's doing well.
	So if you have a friend who thinks Boris Johnson's doing well, feel free to call him a f***ing idiot, because he's not doing well.
	He's doing terribly about everything.
	This means that the Labour Party is making gains, even though the Labour Party are absolutely terrible as well.
	We can go to the next one, John, and scroll down.
	There's a graph in here that you can see it.
	Labour are only 6% behind the Conservatives.
	Imagine having such an amazing mandate, and you've got such an incompetent opposition who have just fended off the most radical party in decades, the most radical faction in decades.
	Like, they're so absurd.
	You can literally just take footage of them at their conference and play it to normies, and normies are like, yeah, not that.
	Anything but that.
	Yeah.
	And you could literally just have a montage of Jeremy Corbyn standing next to actual terrorists.
	Yeah.
	For his entire career.
	And people are going, he's not on our side.
	And yet, Keir Starmer, nobody knows anything about him, nobody likes him, he's got nothing to share, nothing to say, because everything he says is basically what the Conservatives are doing.
	And Labour are catching up.
	6%.
	Unbelievable.
	I don't think this has anything to do with the growth of Labour.
	It is abandoned of Conservatives from a party of Conservatism.
	Well, meant to be.
	They're not doing what people elected them to do, and it's quite self-evident.
	I mean, you can just speak in your regular lives to people who voted for Conservatives.
	Ask them how they feel about Boris now.
	Anyway, so, on the flip side, though, Trump has returned and he's going to be starting to hold rallies again.
	These rallies will doubtless be huge, well attended.
	I don't think there are going to be many Democrats there trying to heckle him.
	And his first one's going to be in Iowa, so if you're in Iowa, go and check it out.
	I'm sure it's going to be a good time.
	Trump's rallies, if nothing else, were always great fun to watch.
	And weirdly, he seems to be looking younger than ever before.
	Like, he also seems to have lost weight.
	And this is something that the internet has noticed.
	How is it that Trump has grown more vital and younger, whereas Joe Biden looks like he's about to turn to dust?
	Trump looks like he's...
	I mean, maybe this is what happens.
	You spend six months off Twitter, and look how much better he feels!
	I mean, it's also the presidency.
	Yeah, undoubtedly.
	The getting younger part is amazing.
	But he just looks good.
	Looks better than when he started, frankly, which is weird.
	So, yeah, so it's all change, hopefully, in the next couple of years.
	But, of course, I'm not accounting for things like fortification or anything like that.
	Who knows what will happen tomorrow?
	But it's interesting watching the sort of downswing of the Build Back Better Davos crew.
	Terrible phrase.
	I know, it's awful.
	But I'm glad they all use it to identify themselves, because at least you know who you're talking about.
	You know whose team they're on, right?
	They're the internationalists who want the sort of global managerial control of the entire world.
	Moving on to someone who's definitely not that by the looks of it.
	Bolsonaro.
	So the leader of Brazil, the president, is Bolsonaro.
	And I'm not a Brazilian.
	I don't know a huge amount about Brazilian politics.
	I'm a Bolsonaro fan.
	Anything I get wrong, please forgive for ignorance.
	and if there are any Brazilians in the chat who can correct things, we'll try and promote it from that.
	But otherwise, let's try and go through what the hell is going on in Brazil right now, because this footage came out, and I was looking at it this morning, which is just some aerial footage of the rallies Bolsonaro set up for Independence Day in Brazil.
	You can see Imagine now is here, saying, there appears to be the largest ever anti-communist pro-freedom, pro-Bolsonaro intifada happening in Brazil right now, and it is huge for people For anyone who can't see the screen, it's unbelievable.
	I mean, it's obviously well over 100,000 people, and it looks like a festival.
	I saw estimates of 150,000, and I don't know, it's just, I've not seen anything this big.
	We go to the next one, there's some more footage, in which you can see the sizes down the side of the beach, and you can just see swaths of people going on forever and ever and ever.
	And this is just a political rally.
	Holy hell, that's the entire thing.
	This is just like a Trump rally or something, you know?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Trump can't draw these numbers.
	No, good God.
	So, you know, if people are wondering who the hell Bolsonaro is, I thought we'd just go through this.
	God approve Brazil.
	Yeah, so Brazil's homicide rate, largest in the world, 57,000 people a year killed in homicides.
	Yeah.
	And, yeah, so pretty extreme place for crime.
	So, Bolsonaro was spending a lot of his time campaigning against crime, and the fact that Brazil was a terrible place for homicides and all the rest of it.
	So we go to the next one.
	Yes, it was not a surprise when he got stabbed whilst campaigning.
	Yeah, by a communist.
	And it kind of proved the point.
	The thing about the guy who stabbed him, he was a Socialist and Liberty Party member for a few years, and then he went out and stabbed him.
	But in the court ruling, they later determined that he was just mentally ill.
	Oh, yeah, well, he's a socialist.
	I mean, what are you going to say?
	It's very based by the judge, but this also produced some very based memes with his campaigning, because this had been brewing for a long time, Bolsonaro coming up through this sort of thing, and I thought we'd just play this clip of just based things he's done.
	It's just you don't steal, don't steal, don't practice latrocina, you don't go to hell!
	Ah, mataram 60 mil?
	Eu queria que matasse 200 mil vagabundos.
	Os senhores não estão preocupados com a segurança pública, agindo como mocinhas, como maricas.
	Um dia a polícia vai parar, e não é por salário não.
	Tem, tem família, tem esposa, ele é um cidadão.
	Se atiro no vagabundo, vou pra cadeia.
	Se não atiro, vou pro cemitério.
	Tem uma vida atrás daquela farda, e não dão bola pra essa vida.
	He hit with the intention of killing him.
	Mario plays He hit with the intention of killing him.
	I'm not worried about the riot.
	The police are worried about the riot.
	I'm a bitch like the riot.
	I'm accused of everything, but I'm worried about the riot.
	I love that line so much.
	That's the famous quote.
	And that's because the left in Brazil is so unbelievably corrupt.
	They accuse me of everything but corruption.
	Yeah.
	It's amazing.
	Bolsonaro genuinely is my spirit animal.
	That's what I'd be like if I were a politician.
	For people listening who couldn't understand the foreign, just think bass noises throughout.
	Just bass statement after bass statement.
	And he's such a fantastic anti-communist crusader.
	He has got no time for any of their bulls.
	So anyway, that's him coming in, and the reason he's talking about corruption is, of course, because his predecessor impeached for corruption.
	So this is this lady.
	And then the predecessor before that, if we go to the next one, he got kicked out for corruption.
	Lula, the communist favourite.
	You can watch, like, various communist podcasts.
	Like, oh, Lula's back!
	And it's like, yeah, why is he back?
	So if we go to the next one here, you mentioned about the Communists, their party being the Workers' Party, which is totally about social democratic politics.
	Nice red star!
	Yeah, I don't buy this for a minute, you bunch of liars.
	So it's no surprise they were all convicted for corruption.
	But then there's a bit of a weird situation.
	So the corruption Lula was charged with was a scandal in which they were misappropriating funds and all the rest of it.
	And since then, the Supreme Court overlooked his case again and decided that he didn't do nothing.
	And have quashed his charges.
	10 out of the 11 members of the Supreme Court are members of the Workers' Party.
	I'll leave that there.
	Don't know the facts of the whole thing, but it's very sus from an outsider perspective.
	Lula was convicted for corruption.
	And then the Supreme Court, he appointed 10 people to...
	10 of the people out of the 11 are his party members.
	Overturned his conviction for corruption.
	Yeah.
	Well, I'm just saying.
	I don't know the full facts, but it looks very, very sus.
	So he is apparently now allowed to rerun for his position.
	So if we scroll down, this is the opinion polling for the 2020 Brazilian general election.
	And there's a graph here of the popularity.
	You can see Lula shooting up the workers' party, overtaking Bolsonaro for the position.
	Yeah, so that's the situation.
	It's not that.
	What's he at, 37 and Bolsonaro's at 25?
	27, sorry?
	It's higher than that.
	40% for Lula, something like that.
	Well, not the very end point.
	Yeah, but either way, you know, it's a staggering amount of growth.
	Yeah, but you know what it's going to be.
	It's going to be non-stop left-wing media promotion.
	And then non-stop left-wing media condemnation of Bolsonaro.
	That's what it's going to be.
	I imagine they have a very similar problem to what we have.
	So what has the evil Bolsonaro man been up to?
	I don't know everything, but I do know some things, and some of the some things are very interesting.
	Bolsonaro accused of endorsing misinformation after issuing order against social media censorship.
	LAUGHTER Right, so he's based on social media, right?
	He was like, yeah, you shouldn't censor people on social media for doing nothing wrong, and yeah, this is misinformation.
	You have misinformation.
	So the quote from here, the president of Brazil, Bolsonaro, has been accused of enabling disinformation and hate speech after he issued a decree that, if passed, will prevent social media companies from arbitrarily removing content.
	So for protecting free speech, this has been repackaged as enabling disinformation and hate speech.
	Yeah, Bolsonaro's executive order for free speech on the internet proposes to reinforce the rights and guarantees of social media users while It's amazing.
	The measure, whose installment will be decided by the Brazilian Congress, would protect users' rights for freedom of expression and issue social media companies with a just cause requirement and user notification system prior to the removal of content.
	See, that's fantastic, right?
	And that's how things should be.
	And honestly, I think that people like Mark Zuckerberg would prefer it that way in the end, where the arbitration of who gets to use the social media thing, it just isn't in their hands.
	Because for them, it's a no-win situation.
	They censor people and get unbelievable amounts of bad PR, or they get unbelievable amounts of bad PR from the people who want other people censored.
	So it'd be easier for them to just hoist it off to a government agency.
	And they already do hoist off to someone else most of the time, which is they'll give a contract to Cognizant, which Ryan Hartwig, the whistleblower from Project Veritas, used to work at for Facebook.
	And it's a joke.
	You know, the whole situation is a joke.
	Anyway, but there's that.
	So what was the response?
	Alessandro Molon, a member of the Brazilian Socialist Party, responded by saying, What Bolsonaro is to prevent the disinformation and hate speech, he and his supporters spread from continuing to be removed from platforms...
	Who really benefits from the fake news released?
	I was like, okay.
	So this is the critics, the socialist party members.
	Okay, I'm sure they're the other side of Brazilian politics.
	I have no respect for them whatsoever, calling themselves socialists after the 20th century.
	But then the fact that he's like, yeah, they want to spread misinformation.
	It's like, you're a socialist.
	Shut up.
	Everything that disagrees with your narrative is misinformation.
	We know how this game is played.
	But also, I hate this terminology of my opponents for misinformation.
	All politics is surrounded with misinformation on every side all the time.
	The truth lies with us, the socialists.
	Yeah, we are all truth and never ever wrong.
	Only an idiot makes that claim.
	A socialist has never lied or embezzled.
	Anyway, so we go to the next one as well.
	This is something else he was up to.
	So apparently he tried to get rid of electronic voting.
	Based.
	In response to America.
	President Bolsonaro has suffered a defeat in Congress after his plan to replace the current electronic voting system in Brazil with a publicly audited system using paper trails failed.
	Accountability?
	That's not good for the socialists.
	Why would they want that?
	So he wants to return to a system of paper because you could trace it.
	And yeah, he didn't get that through Congress.
	Unbelievable.
	Hmm.
	So this has all been culminating in a whole lot of debacle with the Supreme Court.
	So apparently he has been arguing with the Supreme Court in Brazil because they have a weird system where the Supreme Court can block legislation or something or some of the stuff he wants to do.
	But also the Supreme Court has been going after activists of his.
	So he decided for Independence Day, I'm just going to hold a big old rally.
	So there should be another link here.
	This isn't the right link.
	There should be Bolsonaro marching on Congress.
	So if we can get that one up.
	So the BBC article is Brazil on Edge as Bolsonaro supporters march on Congress.
	Sorry, that's the same link, so you've obviously not put the correct one in.
	No, it should be the other one.
	Oh, they've changed the headline.
	That'll be why.
	Goddammit, BBC. So they changed the headline here.
	The police were out in force in Brazil's capital of Brasilia on Tuesday after supporters of far-right Bolsonaro called supporters of his answered to his call for a rally.
	And one of the things I find funny is the BBC referred to him as far-right in all of their articles.
	And if you ever just look up BBC Lula's name, no mention of him being far-left.
	It's always President Lula.
	Oh, just centrist, neutral.
	Couldn't be President Bolsonaro.
	No, can't be done.
	Anyway.
	So they said, Again, like the partisanship here of being like, let's celebrate the fact that he's losing.
	They don't usually do this.
	So, Mr.
	Bolsonaro has responded by lashing out at the Supreme Court's justices, not criticizing them, you know, no neutral article, no, no.
	He's lashing out at them.
	He tried to have one of them impeached after the justice launched two investigations against him.
	He has also tried to blame the Supreme Court for his government's slow response to the COVID pandemic, falsely alleging that the court prevented him from taking quick action to stop the spread of the virus.
	Yeah, I just love the BBC not giving a toss.
	BBC, the more that you make it seem like we're supposed to hate the man, the more I think, ah, he's obviously the right guy to support.
	So he gave a statement.
	As recently as Friday, President Bolsonaro called on his backers to turn out on Independence Day and give the Supreme Court justices a, quote, ultimatum.
	Oh, really?
	And to stop them from, quote, meddling.
	Quote...
	Our country can't continue to be held hostage by one or two people, he said on Tuesday in a reference to two of the justices he particularly hates.
	Critics of the president have gathered for counter-rallies, and there are fears that the two sides could clash.
	What sort of size were these counter-rallies?
	They couldn't film them from the sky.
	Let's put it that way.
	So, if we go to the next one, we have The Guardian, who, again, totally neutral, wanted to represent the truth.
	Thousands turn out for pro and anti-Bolsonaro protests on Brazil's Independence Day, with a video.
	And I've watched this video, and you can see the Bolsonaro people, as you can see in this image here.
	That's the Bolsonaro people, is it?
	The massive, street-filled, literally wall-to-wall like sardines.
	For the anti-Bolcenaro bit, they were on the ground and they were like, you know, what do you call it?
	A low angle shot you have to pull up.
	So I couldn't tell how many there were because purposely...
	Can we see it?
	Is it on there?
	You could play it if you want to shut up.
	I don't know if the audio auto-plays or something.
	Yeah, if we can skip like 30 seconds in or something like that, you can see the...
	There we go.
	That's a little bit before then.
	Go back a bit.
	Go back a bit.
	You can see the anti-Bolcenaro.
	Back a bit more.
	Yeah.
	So no drone footage, some very close-in, so it could be a couple of hundred people, and Bolsonaro clearly has tens of thousands.
	And then you have it for a couple of seconds as well.
	They're like, eh, cut the feed.
	So if we go to the next one, one of Bolsonaro's sons has been tweeting some of the images out of all this, and I found this hilarious.
	Some of the signs that were brought were, President, we want the use of armed forces.
	LAUGHTER So it's the last image on this one, where you have this little lady.
	It's so cute.
	Oh, yeah.
	We want the use of the armed forces.
	We want dictators, judges out of Supreme Court.
	Yeah.
	Based.
	There was another one below in which some lady holding a sign saying, Bolsonaro, save us from communism.
	Based.
	I love his voice.
	They know what the problem is.
	I mean, Brazil's been rife with this for decades now.
	Yeah.
	And Bolsonaro happened, he was a captain in the military.
	He was.
	I think he's still got that rank.
	Just saying, if there's someone who's going to do something.
	Yeah, so one of the other things.
	The fight is ultimately, as I understand it, between the Supreme Court and him.
	Because they're the two bodies that run Brazilian politics.
	And the Supreme Court is not like the American one.
	It's got the same name.
	It's not like they give a toss about the Constitution because it's 20 years old.
	Whatever it is.
	Most of their job is more about prosecuting people, and they've been doing a pretty corrupt job of that.
	Wow.
	Because they're the ones who went after Lula and whatnot, and therefore are the defenders of democracy, anti-corruption, gold stars.
	And then when everyone's like, yeah, Bolsonaro, the fascist dictator, he wants to kill everyone.
	And they seem to have done the Trump derangement syndrome stance, and have started doing things which are out of the whack.
	The fascist dictator who wants to make sure that people's human rights aren't infringed, arm the populace, And bring down the number of gang murders.
	What a Nazi.
	So the CEO of Getter went out to Brazil to support Bolsonaro on Independence Day and hang out with the Conservatives there.
	So this is his post on Getter.
	Such an honor to meet the First Lady of Brazil.
	So you can see him hanging out with Bolsonaro's wife there.
	By the way, next link, follow us on Getter, because we're on Getter.
	We're also verified on Getter, because Getter are good boys.
	We've got a verified check mark.
	Yeah, we did.
	Sorry, just in my mind, like, endlessly that's cursed because of the murder, isn't it?
	Yeah, anyways, but let's go to the next one so we can see him hanging out.
	And he got detained when trying to leave.
	So if you click on these images, just to show, he did hang out with Bolsonaro.
	He's got some Project Veritas merch that he's getting Bolsonaro to sign, which is really funny.
	Sign that I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees.
	Yeah, very good.
	And so the guy posting this says the CEO of Geta was detained at the airport in Brasilia, sitting on the tarmac as he tried to get on.
	Also, he's a former Trump advisor, so that's the other thing here.
	He's being interrogated by the Supreme Court anti-Bolsonaroists on the day of the massive pro-Bolsonaro rally where he met with Bolsonaro.
	So he came down, hanging with Bolsonaro, and he gets back to the airport, and they're like, come and have a word with us, Sonny Jim.
	We're here from the Supreme Court.
	Amazing.
	So we go to the next one.
	Jason's team posted on Twitter a statement from him in which he said, This afternoon my travelling party was questioned for three hours at the airport in Brasilia after having attended this weekend's CPAC Brazil conference.
	We were not accused of any wrongdoing and told that they only wanted to talk.
	We informed them that we had nothing to say and were eventually released to fly back to the United States.
	Our goal of sharing free speech around the world continues.
	Incredible.
	And if we go to Disclose TV, they confirm that, yeah, this order was apparently given by the Supreme Court, a specific judge as well, a particularly corrupt one that Bolsonaro is alleging needs to go.
	Mello was reportedly detained to testify to the federal police under investigation, blah blah blah, which is investigating the organisation of anti-democratic acts in Brazil.
	Oh, they'd know.
	Christ on a bite!
	The order came from Alexandra de Morales, a justice for the Supreme Federal Court.
	So, the specific name, Alexandra, here, we're going to keep in mind.
	If we go to the next one, you can see a picture of him.
	This egg.
	Egg of a man.
	He just looked like an egg.
	Yep.
	Anyway, so if we go to the next one, some of the stuff he's been up to, specifically, is awful.
	I mean, it just sounds terrible.
	Really?
	This is where I've got sympathies with Bolsonaro.
	I mean, again, I don't know the situation, but the situation sounds awful just reading it.
	So this is the claim from him and his supporters that the Supreme Court has been censoring their supporters, politicians, journalists who support them, comedians, average citizens.
	Seems that way.
	There was a claim of some guy who was a truck driver who was just like talking S about the Supreme Court and someone who worked for the Supreme Court overheard him.
	So they brought a prosecution against him for insulting the Supreme Court.
	I was like, okay.
	I wasn't able to confirm that, but I saw someone talking about that who's Brazilian.
	So, I mean, they don't want me.
	So this is the article, Dictatorship of the Supreme Court, Senator Reacts to Alexandria de Morales' Decision.
	Minister Alexandria de Morales of the Federal Supreme Court, STF, who ordered the website O Antagonia, the magazine...
	O Antagonista.
	O Antagonista, and the magazine Crusoe to withdraw from the air immediately.
	An article entitled, quote, So some guy, who runs a website, published an article with quotes from the president of the Supreme Court saying, they bad.
	And the Supreme Court's like, no you don't.
	Sense of that.
	Alexandra also imposed a daily fine of 100,000...
	Seashells?
	I don't know what they use.
	Yeah, probably seashells.
	100,000 seashells in case of disobedience.
	Quote, I determined that the website O Antagonista and the magazine Crusoe immediately removed from their retrospective virtual environments the article entitled My Father's Friend and subsequent posts dealing with the subject under penalty of a daily fine of 100,000 I determined that the website O Antagonista and the magazine Crusoe immediately removed from their retrospective virtual environments the article entitled My In the decision, Alexandria de Morales cites an inquiry opened by Diaz de Fluffy
	In March, that the existence of fraudulent news, fake news, slanderous denunciation, threats or infractions coated with intention to defame or injure which affect honourability and security of the Federal Supreme Court, its members, family members, and the exploration of freedom of expression.
	Okay, give it all that garbage.
	He's literally saying, they're insulting me.
	They're insulting me in the court, therefore censor them?
	If it's defamatory, why don't you bring a lawsuit against them?
	Well, he is.
	Well, no, that's not a lawsuit.
	I mean a lawsuit that says you're nicked.
	Yeah, that's a lawsuit.
	Because a lawsuit would be to go through the evidence and to have a trial, and then both sides can present their evidence and the judge can make a decision.
	Yeah, so the situation does sound terrible.
	It does sound like Bolsonaro's supporters have a point.
	The Supreme Court is tyrannical.
	They are just going after people because they don't like them.
	Because they're a bunch of commies.
	And they don't like Bolsonaro because, what is it, 10 out of 11 of them were appointed by the opposition party, who now want rid of Bolsonaro.
	It's like, well, yeah, this sounds like it could come to heads.
	And they won't have paper voting because I can sense a fortification in the near future.
	Yeah.
	So Bolsonaro's rhetoric has been getting pretty spicy.
	So let's go through this.
	This is the fun bit.
	So, I will no longer abide to orders issued by Justice Alexandre de Morales.
	Quote from Bolsonaro.
	If we go to the next one.
	So, he says, We cannot accept that only one man jeopardizes our democracy and threatens our freedom.
	Actually, his time is over.
	Get out.
	Alexandre de Morales, don't be a scoundrel.
	Stop oppressing Brazilian people.
	I speak on behalf of you all.
	We must demand that political prisoners are freed.
	Which seems to be a fair statement, because it sounds like he's creating political prisoners.
	So this is the speech he's giving at the Independence Day rally, you know, that huge crowd.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And the article says, at this point, the crowd started to chant, I authorize.
	Foreign.
	It meaning that the people was giving the authorization or an endorsement to the president to do what he said had to be done.
	I like that saying, the I authorize.
	I authorize.
	That's a very interesting...
	I like the framing as well.
	It's like, we the people consent to and authorize you.
	I spoke to a Brazilian beforehand here just to understand this.
	Apparently it's essentially like the president gets his authority from the constitution but the Supreme Court's messing that up.
	Therefore we'll just give power to the president and do what he wants kind of thing.
	So it's like shouting we the people for Trump to overthrow the corrupt government kind of thing.
	So anyway, so he says, I want to tell you all that this Presidente will no longer abide to any decision issued by the Justice Alexandria.
	The people's patience has run out.
	He, Alexandria, still has time to get out.
	Jesus Christ.
	And for us, he does not exist anymore.
	Freedom to the political prisoners.
	Stop the censorship.
	Stop the persecution to the conservatives and to those who care about Brazil.
	When President Bolsonaro ended this statement, the crowd started chanting, freedom, freedom.
	So he's literally just like, I don't recognise the Supreme Court anymore.
	Go to hell.
	So he really is going down with the rhetoric.
	Some of the other rhetoric is also great.
	So we go to the next one here.
	You have a quote from him where it says, last week he told evangelical leaders who are among his staunchest backers that, quote, I have three alternatives for my future.
	Being arrested, killed, or victory.
	And again, he took up the theme in his speech on Independence Day saying, only God will oust me.
	What?
	The question, I suppose, is, is Bolsonaro enough of a mad lad to follow through on his rhetoric?
	Go for it.
	So, there's also one more here, which is fantastic.
	So, Glenn Greenwald, who's been following the story, he's much involved with Brazilian politics and the scandal and all the rest of it.
	Is he a Bolsonaro supporter?
	I don't think so.
	He will be by the end of it.
	So he says, after Bolsonaro threatened the Supreme Court today and then vowed to disobey court orders, what's happened next?
	The Supreme Court justices are now meeting to determine their response.
	Sao Paulo's governor, others, demands of the impeachment for the first time.
	And Bolsonaro says, I'll only leave when the presidency is dead.
	I'll only leave the presidency dead.
	Yeah.
	Love it.
	When he's dead, he's going to leave.
	So, literally, I'm not leaving, no matter what happens.
	I don't recognise your authority.
	Also, we have a history of military coups in this country.
	No!
	And I just happened to have been a captain in the army.
	I don't know what's going to happen to Brazil, but as a foreigner, it damn is funny.
	Well, good luck, Brazilian bros.
	Let's hope you don't succumb to communism.
	So, coming back to the West, what's happening with the Afghan refugees?
	Well, nothing good, really, is the answer.
	So as CBS News reports, there are challenges in evacuating these hundred thousands.
	So the Biden administration, if you can believe it, because none of this was planned, though it all did go according to plan.
	The Biden administration's plan to resettle tens of thousands of Afghan refugees is facing formidable operational legal challenges.
	Since mid-August, the US has admitted approximately 24,000 Afghans evacuated from Kabul this summer ahead of the US withdrawal.
	As of Thursday morning, more than 20,000 of them are being housed at eight military sites.
	Another 39,000 evacuees remain at military bases in Europe and the Middle East.
	And resettlement agencies, and this is where it gets annoying, they're expected to receive $2,275 for each refugee.
	Sorry, how much?
	$2,275 per Afghan parolee.
	Lots of money involved.
	Lots and lots of money.
	Paid for by the American taxpayer.
	There's also a backlog of 400,000 pending applications for U.S. citizenship and immigration services, so they're being put through an incredibly busy system as it is.
	And resettlement officials have said that they've encountered enormous difficulties trying to find permanent residences for evacuated Afghans.
	Many of whom tend to relocate to communities with larger Afghan populations, including North California, Dallas area, and Northern Virginia, that have limited affordable housing.
	So they're coming into an already incredibly overcrowded place, especially in places like California and Texas as well.
	But, again, they're moving into communities with lots of other Afghanistani people, so not going to be integrating, going to be setting up their sort of ethnic enclaves.
	30,000 of them, if we go to the next one, apparently are going to be housed in U.S. military bases, because what else are they going to do, I suppose?
	They're going to do what we did, which is just put them on bases.
	There's too many.
	And, yeah, this is according to a statement by the Defence and State Departments, says Fox News.
	But what's interesting is the way that the left has responded to this, yeah, 125,000 or something like that that they've taken out, that's a lot.
	But it could be more.
	In fact, it should be more.
	Especially this is AOC's opinion.
	I believe we need to move, and the administration needs to move as quickly as possible, and expansively as possible, ensuring that we are raising the amount of refugee visas to whatever amount is necessary.
	What amount do you think is going to be necessary, Callum?
	Well, the Labour Party in Britain said 400,000 or something like that.
	They said what?
	400,000.
	The Labour Party in Britain said 400,000.
	I think it was Kim Johnson or something.
	You know, that black MP for Liverpool that's not black.
	Oh yeah, she said 400,000.
	Yeah, she's just pulling numbers out of her ass.
	Right, so she's twice as mental as AOC. Because AOC said, I would say the rock bottom is 200,000, but I think that whatever is necessary, and that needs to be expedited as soon as possible.
	There's not even that many people that worked with the US government.
	Well, that's the point, isn't it?
	It's just like, the whole country, why not?
	If there aren't even 200,000, why did you set that number?
	You don't know how many there are, but rock bottom 200,000.
	Why?
	Why?
	Why 200,000?
	Well, Tucker Carlson has a theory.
	Shall we watch?
	Let's watch his theory.
	If you've gone online recently and visited the official website of the State Department, run by Mr.
	Tony Blinken, you'd have found a list of what they call welcoming communities.
	These are places where Afghan refugees, in particular special immigration visa holders, will be settling in the United States.
	And if you look at that list long enough, you may notice something, especially if you cover politics.
	You may notice that these communities include an awful lot of swing districts and swing states all over the United States.
	It's not just Virginia.
	Isn't that interesting?
	Why not send them all to California?
	Yeah, exactly.
	A lot of those contested places that were on a knife edge for Trump that Biden just sneaked in.
	Oh, we're going to dump hundreds of thousands of Afghan refugees in these places.
	Isn't that fascinating?
	Anyway, coming back to old Blighty.
	It just really makes me think, that's all I'm saying.
	Yeah, long-term planning there.
	Yeah.
	I mean, it's not like the left aren't notorious for that as well.
	So, coming back to the UK, we're taking 20,000 Afghan refugees, apparently, under a five-year settlement plan, because, like we don't have enough of a problem with...
	I'm so sick of the Conservatives.
	What the hell is wrong with them?
	Yeah.
	It's going to get worse, in fact.
	And after this, I'll actually be recording a premium podcast about immigration into Britain.
	It's probably going to be about two hours long.
	And no, no, I'm not even joking.
	It's just going to be me as well, because I've assembled all of the relevant information and the arguments that I think people will need.
	And so that will be up hopefully at the end of the week or beginning of next week.
	And I think it'll be really worth your time.
	But this is basically a sneak preview.
	So, women, children and religious minorities will be prioritised in the UK resettlement scheme.
	Good luck with that.
	Most of the 20,000 are likely to have fled neighbouring countries, such as Pakistan, for being resettled in Britain over five years.
	And the Prime Minister added, I am going to get ready for this.
	What was wrong with Pakistan?
	Why couldn't they stay there?
	You know there's a lot wrong with Pakistan, but not for the people who live in Afghanistan.
	I hate this.
	I hate this narrative a lot.
	Oh, well the Taliban are in Pakistan too?
	Why is that?
	Yeah.
	Good question.
	Don't know if it's anything to do with religious and tribal sympathies or anything.
	Anyway, Boris Johnson said, I am proud that the UK has been able to put in place this route to help them and their families live safely in the UK. The best solution for everyone is an Afghanistan that works for all Afghans.
	That means the international community coming together to set firm political conditions for the country's future governance.
	And it means focusing our efforts on increasing the resilience of the wider region to prevent a humanitarian emergency.
	Boris, this is delusional talk.
	The Taliban, a terrorist organization, have just routed the Western forces.
	We have fled in chaos, absolute chaos.
	Thousands of Americans were left behind, and we had sent in special forces to get the Brits out.
	We are relying on the goodwill of a murderous Islamist regime in order to get the Americans to the airports.
	They have captured unbelievable amounts of...
	I don't know why you're acting like we have any future influence over what's going on here.
	It's such a deranged and detached statement.
	We don't even talk as highly of Iran's government.
	We don't talk as highly of France's government.
	I know, right?
	Which we're going to get to in a minute.
	Fair enough, but you know.
	But this is the point, right?
	This is deranged lunacy that means nothing.
	It does not connect to what's actually happening, right?
	Johnson, of course, carries on.
	He stressed the importance of not losing the gains made in Afghanistan over the last 20 years.
	Have you not been watching the news for the last two weeks?
	They're all gone.
	They're all gone.
	Hundreds of thousands of Afghans have got to flee the country because the collapse was that quick.
	As if we still have territory.
	The president of Afghanistan left with millions in a briefcase to, what was it, United Arab Emirates or something?
	I think it was Uzbekistan and then there.
	Oh, wherever.
	He fled like a coward.
	The Afghan army dissolved.
	We left it in a worse state than we found it.
	When we found it, the Northern Alliance still existed and had that territory from the Taliban.
	And now they have that territory too.
	It's unreal.
	But anyway, yeah, we don't lose those gains.
	What gains?
	They're all gods.
	You're absolutely lunatic.
	But anyway, Priti Patel said that the refugees could start a new life safely in the UK, away from tyranny and oppression they now face.
	Well, don't stop.
	Don't say that too soon, because apparently I've heard we're getting an October lockdown.
	So, you know, I doubt the Taliban are forcing people to stay in their homes.
	Just saying.
	You know, there's tyranny and oppression everywhere you go.
	So anyway, the government has launched Operation Warm Welcome.
	Because that's what really summarises the nation's mood.
	Did you see the propaganda they had on their Facebook page about this?
	No, I didn't.
	The Conservatives on their Twitter and Facebook page were like, the graphics of Operation Warm Welcome.
	Diversity is our strength, all this crap.
	Oh, Jesus Christ!
	Ratio to hell, which is good to see.
	Good, yeah, good.
	Anyway, this was written by Nezrin Malik.
	Malik, who incidentally is going to be in the...
	The more extended cut of this immigration debate that I'm going to do.
	About 10,000 refugees are currently housed in quarantine hotels across the UK, so it's costing you a fortune, basically, with little but the bags they were allowed to carry on the evacuation flights.
	The infrastructure that has met them, as any refugee, immigrant, or asylum seeker in the UK will immediately recognise, is mostly informal, voluntary, and in the long term, utterly unsustainable.
	Brilliant.
	Brilliant.
	Utterly unsustainable.
	Good to know.
	Once the evacuees are out of quarantine, they will most certainly run into housing scarcity, or I wonder why.
	Why have we got a problem with housing in the UK? Can't imagine.
	Can't imagine.
	Bureaucratic holds up some poor translation services.
	Yeah, that's because none of them are bloody translators, are they?
	They don't speak English.
	So it isn't the people who are working closely with us.
	It's a bunch of people who have no idea who they are.
	Right?
	We're going to have to pay to teach them English.
	Yes, of course we're going to have to pay to teach them English.
	All of this is going to cost us stupid amounts of money, right?
	Or we just won't.
	And then they'll form ethnic enclaves, and then ten years later we'll have to deal with that.
	Well, they can join the other ethnic enclaves, can't they?
	Yeah, I know.
	Anyway.
	It's the same process.
	Again, we've learned nothing.
	Anyway, take the decision to give high-risk Afghans...
	I don't know what the high-risk Afghans...
	I mean, you know, based.
	Well done, Nezrin.
	Resettled in the UK, indefinitely leave to remain, an open-ended immigration status that allows them to work in the UK and eventually apply for a British passport.
	Their visas will be processed and fast-tracked without fees, and they will be exempt from the usual paperwork requirements and come with exceptional banking privileges, allowing refugees to open bank accounts and enable them to work without permanent addresses.
	Brilliant.
	Why not?
	I mean, that's the recommendation from the left.
	Give them everything.
	Don't hold them to any standards.
	Why not?
	Just give them citizenship at that point.
	Anyway, moving on.
	Sky have reported that the fear is that it's going to end up in hotels in perpetuity if local councils don't take them in.
	Take them in where?
	Yeah, great.
	That's the question.
	I think my dad mentioned this when I was visiting him.
	He was talking about...
	He was watching TV, and some Labour person was like, yeah, well, you know, there's a wait for council housing.
	So where are you going to put them?
	He was like, well, you know, put them to the front of the queue, the front of the wait.
	Why?
	What do you mean?
	Like, there is no housing.
	That's the point.
	I'm like...
	So one local leader, one leader of one local authority, who is welcoming refugees to his area, said he believes that all councils should be forced to house people rather than being allowed to refuse.
	The Home Office says that so far 100 councils have agreed...
	We're going to force you to house these people.
	I don't have any houses.
	Yes.
	100 councils have agreed to house Afghans.
	However, the rest of the 343 local authorities are yet to commit.
	So, Afghanis, coming to a council estate near you.
	Your local council will indeed put them near you.
	Don't worry if you're in the next one, John.
	Steve Cowan, the leader of Hammersmith and Fulham Council in West London, which has accepted many refugees in resettlement schemes over the years, said that councils that volunteered to support new arrivals should not be expected to do so to the detriment of residents on council home waiting lists.
	Wow.
	What a conservative.
	Maybe they shouldn't be put straight to the front of the queue.
	Yeah, I think this is what I was talking about.
	Instead, the government should offer a comprehensive scheme that works across various departments to meet all their housing and other needs.
	What does that mean?
	Councils like us stand ready to assist Afghan refugees and are already doing so, but we need a government to come forward with a comprehensive scheme that joins up the approach across government departments, providing sufficient financial and organisational support.
	I hate it.
	Anyway.
	It's so expensive as well.
	Oh yeah.
	You can house these people anywhere else on Earth three times over for the same amount of money.
	Yeah.
	But anyway, this is costing us a fortune because for some reason they have to live here.
	Anyway, but hundreds of people are apparently volunteering their own homes.
	Gary Lineker, notably absent from this list.
	Various other celebrities, notably absent from this list.
	Sorry, hundreds.
	Yes.
	We've got 20,000 coming.
	998 people have signed up to be hosts with Rooms for Refugees, a Glasgow-based community housing network which has 10,000 hosts on its books.
	Another 824 people have offered up their spare rooms to Afghans via another charity, Refugees at Home.
	So, less than 2,000.
	Putting a dent in there, I guess.
	Well, then what are we going to do with the other 18,000?
	I don't know.
	The UK government has said that it will work with stakeholders, including devolved...
	I hate the term stakeholders.
	It's awful, isn't it?
	You're not a business.
	You're not a corporate entity.
	Anyway...
	So they're going to work with the stakeholders.
	Sarah Nathan, the co-founder and trustee of Refugees at Home, said the organization was training four new volunteers to deal with the influx of applications.
	Wow, four new volunteers, Callum.
	Amazing.
	This will be done in no time.
	They're having to turn away potential hosts unless they live in certain cities.
	London, Manchester, Bristol, Birmingham and Glasgow because there will always be more people wanting placements in those cities than there are willing hosts.
	While grateful to everyone who has come forward, Nathan and her colleagues say that they're saying thanks but no thanks to people in remote locations, such as halfway up a hill in Snowdonia.
	She has also turned down someone who offered to house Afghans in tents on a campsite.
	Apparently they're too good to live near the Welsh...
	Or in a little local area.
	They're too good for that.
	They need a big city for some reason.
	Don't you know I'm an Afghan?
	Can't be sleeping in a tent.
	They're way better than that.
	That's literally what the UN provides refugees in refugee camps.
	It's mad, isn't it?
	It's mad.
	She also stressed that this was supposed to be a temporary fix.
	But it's not going to be a temporary fix.
	They're going to stay permanently.
	The next one, as the BBC reports, those who worked for the UK are going to stay here forever.
	They'll be given indefinitely to remain rather than five years' residency.
	And this means more than 8,000 people are going to be eligible for that.
	Again, where they're going to live.
	If it's not going to be near Snowdonia or in a tent, I don't know.
	But also, if they're being sent to Scotland or Wales, they've automatically got the vote.
	They do.
	They do.
	That's a good point.
	And they've doubtless got access to many other social services as well.
	Anyway, Dominic Raab said he couldn't give a definitive figure for the number of people eligible to come to the UK who remain in Afghanistan.
	Could be any number of Afghans.
	Boris Johnson said the UK owed an immense debt to those who worked with the armed forces in Afghanistan.
	I am determined that we give them and their families the support they need to rebuild their lives here in the UK. I know this is an incredibly daunting time, but I hope they will take to heart the wave of support and generosity already expressed by the British public.
	Like 1,800 people have been generous.
	1,800.
	65 million at minimum people in this country.
	And barely 2,000 of them are like, yeah, we'll help.
	Take the hint.
	But anyway, Victoria Atkins, who has been appointed Afghan resettlement minister, told BBC Breakfast that Operation Warm Welcome would help them join our society.
	How much is this going to cost us, Callum?
	What do you think?
	Well, initial costs?
	Because there's long-term costs as well.
	Oh yeah, no, no.
	Initial, immediate costs.
	How much do you think?
	I don't know.
	20 million?
	No, the answer is billions, actually, if you go to the next one.
	In the year leading up to June, the British taxpayer had already shelled out 1.359 billion to support alleged asylum seekers, with many being provided free accommodation, and this figure represents a 42% increase on the previous year's spending period, which was 956 million spent on supposed refugees.
	So this is going to cost us more and more and more.
	It's going to run into the literal billions of dollars.
	Just say no.
	Yep.
	Luckily, though, they are going to be taught British values.
	I bet you're really reassured by that, aren't you?
	Oh god, is this that thing I found?
	Maybe.
	We're going to be teaching them about British values and culture.
	Afghan refugees could be taught, not will be taught, could be taught.
	Again, we're going to have to pay for all of this.
	Talk about British values including enhanced English language training so they can fully contribute to British life.
	It's part of that new integration scheme, you see, written there?
	Yep.
	It is the thing I found.
	Right.
	Well, the Times reported the government will test plans for the new integration scheme on the Afghans.
	So good.
	We'll just test this out.
	It might work.
	Who knows?
	According to the Times, the Community Secretary, Robert Jenrick, said the government is looking into how it can comprehensively introduce people to British culture, civic and political life, increasing people's knowledge and understanding of the country and its values so they can contribute fully to British life.
	Hmm.
	So this will include PACs explaining British values.
	And I remember this happening in Norway.
	And there was a...
	I can't remember the documentary's name, but they were sat down with a couple of guys in one of these classes.
	And they were all having to go through these PACs.
	And they got to a point where they were talking about, you know, rape is not allowed in Norway.
	Age of consent is 16 or 18 or whatever it is, not 13.
	And you could see some of them looking at each other and being like, why the hell are we reading this?
	And it was like, yeah, because we kept important people who thought that.
	And it was like, you know what, the correct solution.
	It's not to have to explain that to everyone who comes, but just to say no to those people...
	In Norway, in Oslo, I think it was, there was one of these events at which the woman explaining about rape got raped.
	Yeah.
	Just saying.
	These are the kind of people we're bringing in.
	The scheme would mimic countries like Italy, France and Germany.
	Ah yes, countries have been so successful with their immigration.
	The newspaper reported, where arrivals are given extensive language lessons as well as passes for museums and galleries and classes to help them integrate more fully.
	That's right, the Afghans are just going to be wandering around the British Museum going, ah, isn't Britain brilliant?
	I'm sure they will.
	Anyway, it didn't seem to be working.
	If you look at recently in Berlin, where one Afghan man, 29, decided to repeatedly stab a female gardener in the neck because he didn't like the fact that she was a woman and she was working.
	He also stabbed a 66-year-old man who saw the attack and tried to help her, and he got stabbed as well.
	Are those German values or Afghan values right there?
	Well, I mean, if they're German values, then...
	I mean, I lived in Germany for eight years.
	I didn't see any Germans stabbing women because they didn't like the fact they were working.
	And if they're Afghan values, well, the integration lessons aren't working very well, are they?
	Anyway, moving on.
	The illegal Afghans crossing the channel won't be settled.
	So if they're here in Afghanistan, you arrived in France and you crossed the channel illegally, then you won't be settled.
	Say, one of the home officer's spokesmen.
	It's like, well, that was stupid.
	You should have just gotten a plane, like all the others, right?
	Our message has been, please, please do not travel here illegally.
	That's right.
	We're reduced to begging them not to come.
	Please, please don't travel here illegally.
	You're the government.
	Just send them back.
	Yeah.
	I mean, you are the executive branch.
	Do something.
	You're the ones with the power to do something.
	Anyway, moving on.
	We're told that there have been no enforced returns.
	So, those people who have come across illegally...
	Like we've said, please don't.
	I'm not being repatriated to somewhere else.
	This isn't new or unique either.
	Every European country has this problem and has for years.
	It is just the correct solution, as Doug Lee Murray points out in The Strange Death of Europe, is to say no at the border.
	Once they are in, they're not going back.
	No.
	Even if they're found out to be fraudulent, even if they're found out to be criminals, they're not going back.
	No, as the Telegraph report, Priti Patel has been unable, unable to remove channel migrants, even to safe third countries where they could have claimed and should have claimed asylum.
	The EU, France and other EU states are refusing to take them back without new bilateral agreements to replace pre-Brexit arrangements under which migrants could be returned to the countries from which they had travelled and claimed asylum.
	So, yeah, nothing.
	I want to make that point.
	It's not entirely her fault there.
	No, it's not.
	Every immigration minister from every party across Europe has had this problem.
	Yeah.
	And staggering numbers of them are coming, of course.
	If we can go to the next one, John, you can see that the numbers are getting worse.
	So, in fact, the previous one they say is 12,500 migrants who have come to the UK so far this year.
	This you can blame on her.
	Yes.
	None of those people have been turned back or returned, and more will come.
	So, more than 10,000 made the journey in the first six months, which was more than all that came in the year before.
	And Kevin Saunders, the Chief Immigration Officer for Border Force for 16 years said, It's going to get much worse until bad weather hits the channel, which is possibly the end of September.
	You're going to see more and more migrants coming across.
	So we have resorted to relying on God to save us from the immigration.
	Literally.
	So pray for bad weather.
	Anyway.
	On the plus side though, and this is really good, at least one woman has been discovered.
	Does what?
	Well, the migrants coming across the channel, right?
	Celebration, if you can scroll down a bit, John.
	Because it was, like, the other day, a thousand people in one day crossed, and there's a woman and a child.
	That's actually real.
	It's actually a real woman and child have been discovered among the migrants.
	Like, so when they say it's women and children, as well as, you know, the men, well, there was one woman and a child.
	This is so rare that, in fact, my mind is already thinking, like, what if it's just one of those British left-wing activists?
	Yeah.
	More rare than Bigfoot.
	Again, I haven't got any scientific evidence.
	This may well be a man in a suit.
	It might be a dummy baby that they're holding.
	There is more evidence at the moment for Bigfoot than these women crossing the channel, which we'll talk about in another podcast.
	But yes, a sighting.
	In the wild, right, has appeared to have been found.
	So that's fantastic.
	Moving on, Macron appears to be facilitating this.
	So, Leigh Evans, the chairman of Facts for EU think tank, has found that actually there are French laws that essentially prevent French authorities from tracking what's happening.
	The research for Facts for EU lays bare the lip service which President Macron's French government have been paying to the growing crisis of thousands of immigrants.
	The French ban on using drones to patrol its coastal areas to catch people smugglers and illegal immigrants before they're escorted by the French Navy into British waters is simply unacceptable.
	It's illegal to track this.
	So, people started throwing drones up on the French side to film the people smugglers.
	And they banned it.
	And the French government banned that because it shows them not doing their job.
	Yes.
	Although, apparently LBC reported just before we went live, and so I haven't been able to look into this, but the thing I saw was LBC said that France has been forced to ban dinghy sales.
	This is quite old, actually.
	Well, this is a recent update.
	Have they expanded it?
	Because it was in northern France.
	This was pretty straightforward.
	Yeah, but this is a recent update that I haven't had time to look into.
	But this is what LBC are reporting, and they're usually quite credible.
	I imagine it's the expansion of the situation.
	Which didn't really work either.
	It just led to the people smugglers buying them in the south and driving them north.
	Or you could just steal them.
	Of course.
	Anyway, at least one Conservative MP has been able to speak out against this.
	What's his name?
	I can't find his name.
	Tim Hunt or something?
	Tom Hunt.
	Tom Hunt.
	Tom Hunt has said that this is not good.
	This bad.
	Finally, a conservative said it.
	Yeah.
	Shouldn't be happening.
	The number of illegal immigrants crossing the channel is impossible to defend.
	It is.
	And, yes, record numbers are trying to cross just very quickly.
	A thousand men, women, and children.
	Again, very loose.
	A thousand men, then women.
	And children.
	Can we say women?
	Woman and child.
	We have evidence for.
	We're spotted making the journey.
	So a thousand a day.
	It's gone up to a thousand a day.
	So it's going to get worse before it gets better.
	Unfortunately.
	Let's go to the video comments.
	Greetings from Auschwitz.
	Here's my daily government allowance of outside time.
	5km from my house, per mandate.
	Gyms are closed, so you do the best you can.
	Just some bodyweight stuff, mask on.
	This is my first major workout since my hernia operation.
	You can see the scar if you look close.
	4km spring interval, it's finished with blurry planks.
	How you feeling there?
	Thumbs up?
	Great stuff.
	Train hard, eat well.
	Just whipping up a quick salad, plenty of healthy things.
	Top it off with some prawns, toss in a white wine reduction.
	Perfection.
	Not sure how to finish, so here's some good boys to call on.
	I love how he's wearing a mask while doing the whole thing.
	Well, the Australian government probably makes him have to do that.
	But I see what he means by greetings from Auschwitz now.
	I think he said Auschwitz.
	Well, yes, okay, but that's because he's got an Australian accent.
	But, chap, by the way, you've got to bully Callum and come in climbing next week.
	Aus.
	Oh, yeah, Auschwitz.
	There we go.
	Good point.
	But we went climbing yesterday.
	It was good fun.
	I enjoyed it.
	Did you enjoy it?
	Yeah, it was alright.
	Good.
	Bully and Mint's coming next week.
	Be good for you.
	Good upper body workout.
	Alrighty.
	Let's go to the next one.
	That's the fast forward part of this.
	Sorry.
	I'm wearing this shirt contest.
	When SUW saw my shirt and decided to pick a fight, so which do you think is better for having stamina?
	Going to the gym or soy lattes?
	Which do you think is better for knowing how to dodge and how to throw strikes?
	Going to do martial art training or staying on Twitter 24-7?
	If you've seen the video where the pro-abortion person kicks the pro-life woman, think of that, the telegraphing, but for every strike.
	My best guess is SJWs think fighting works like in an anime or a video game where you can charge power-up into your attack, and if that SJW who tried to fight me is watching this as a hate-watcher, no, that's not how fighting works, not even close.
	It's hard to take anything seriously when it's sped up, so it's, like, high-pitched.
	Can we just try and keep your video comment to 30 seconds?
	Don't speed it up.
	Just normal comment, 30 seconds, please.
	Please.
	Okay guys, so what we're looking at here is a WWII Zeppelin hangar.
	I think it's pretty sweet.
	Hey guys, it's day three.
	Still no nonceree.
	Except one of my colleagues offered me half her sandwich at lunchtime.
	I slapped it out of her hand and jumped into the sports car and went to waitress to get my own.
	Not today, commies!
	I remember that being told as a story about Jeremy Corbyn when he first came on the scene.
	Like, some, like, puff person went on BBC and was like, well, he's the kind of man who would open his cucumber sandwiches on the train and instantly give you half.
	I was like...
	Like, trying to show that he's a dedicated socialist because he gives you half a sandwich, so correct action.
	Yeah, and that sounds like about all you're going to get from a socialist as well.
	Here's half a cucumber sandwich, make it last.
	I have taken a bite, but I'm sure you're enjoying it.
	God.
	Hey Lotus Eaters, in response to Callum's question, the sprinkler's on because I'm going to be compacting that ground.
	As you can see in my last video, the compactor's there, and this area's going to be my new house.
	Thanks.
	So yeah, I told you the man had a plan.
	I never said he didn't.
	How does compacting work?
	Because I've always, like, how much is it?
	Because I've always had this, I know it's like a childish thing because I have no idea, but I've always been really mad at not flat world.
	Like...
	I don't know how else to explain it.
	When you go a place and there's all the houses and it's all hilly and crap, I'm just like, why don't you just flatten all this?
	It's a lot of work to flatten hilly ground.
	How much?
	A lot.
	I want a number.
	Go and get a spade and try and flatten some ground.
	I'm not going to use a spade.
	I'm going to use a sprinkler and a flattener like he is.
	Okay, sure, but it's still going to take a lot of work.
	And a lot of money now.
	Just wondering.
	Regarding strategically voting for the Conservatives in Canada rather than the PPC, no, absolutely not.
	I'm not interested in Liberal Party 3.0, which is what the Conservatives are and their Liberal leader, and pretending this is some kind of improvement.
	The kind of market competition we need is the PPC who has a spine and some principles to actually threaten and kill the Conservative Party or wake it up to reality.
	Normies be damned.
	Never appeal to the lowest common denominator for improvement.
	Good message.
	Can't disagree.
	I don't know anything about Canadian politics, but it always seems to be the case around the Anglosphere that a UKIP-style thing going on would always be good.
	Keep them in line, if not overtake them, and then replace them.
	Keep going.
	Good evening, gentlemen.
	I can't help but notice, being a student of the Sand Peoples myself, that you are mispronouncing the ancient and revered name of the tradition of Batchebozi as Batubazi.
	Well, this is very Islamophobic, and I cannot let this stand.
	I will translate it into your native language to make it easier for you so that you will not repeat this offense.
	Well, we stand corrected.
	I love the memes about English pronunciation on a lot of things.
	I think I'm going to continue to be Islamophobic to the boy lovers.
	I think they deserve it.
	If that's not too much trouble.
	Can't do that yet.
	Heroically did their jobs?
	Don't care.
	You're full of it.
	I hate it.
	Get.
	Can't stand it.
	Thunk.
	Oh, f***!
	F*** this stupid ass!
	I hate it so much!
	Don't even!
	This is the worst.
	This is you dealing with the conservatives.
	Yes.
	Hey Lotus Eaters, Tony D and Little Joan here with another Legend of the Pines, our crops.
	First there's blueberries.
	Glorious two weeks in the summer.
	They're delicious.
	Cranberry season is hitting right now.
	The bogs are full of cranberries.
	A few weeks ago we ended peach season and right now we are ending tomato season.
	Jersey tomatoes are some of the most glorious you can ever eat.
	I'm going to eat this last one.
	I'd say they are our major export, but we don't share these with anyone.
	Do you keep track of vegetable seasons?
	No.
	Because I remember when I worked with my brother...
	A city dweller.
	In the kitchen there was a description of what vegetables are in season.
	I wondered if it's worth keeping in mind to get fresher vegetables or not.
	Maybe.
	It also looks the same to me.
	I have no idea.
	I use supermarkets.
	Like an absolute primitive...
	Is there actually a proper market in Swindon at all?
	Well, there are farmers markets around and stuff like that.
	You just have to go out of Swindon into the countryside around and you can find them.
	Because that was one of the divisors that's really good.
	Yeah, I tried to encourage my wife to shop there as well, but she's like, but it's too expensive.
	It's like, yeah, but A, it's better, and B, it means I'm not giving money to the people who are contributing to the innovation of our civilization, darling.
	I mean, Sainsbury's, they were literally segregating their staff.
	Yeah.
	Tesco, promoting critical race theory.
	Yeah.
	I think Asda didn't do anything yet.
	They're probably all donated.
	They're owned by Walmart.
	I just hate them all.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Ladies, yes, you sleep with whoever you want, you are a whore.
	Men, you are too.
	Whether we like it or not, sex is an incredibly intimate experience.
	An emotional connection is made, and it's a private experience that we can't replicate with anyone else.
	I think it's more than a little gross that we've devalued that.
	For someone who was adopted, I can't help but think that if my father had spent a little more time focusing on being a good father and gatekeeping his genetic material, I probably would have gotten a better mother out of the deal as well.
	What do you guys think?
	Should we be stigmatizing men as whores as well?
	Also, Callum, get yourself a house.
	Ladies like the house.
	It's almost like having cheat codes on.
	It's almost not fair.
	Yeah, I'm saving for a house.
	I got a Lysa.
	Big recommendation to anyone who has British citizenship, get a Lysa.
	Because, holy crap, is that a good a way to get money.
	You put £4,000 in, you get £1,000 free from the government.
	It's my money!
	It's a tax rebate.
	So you get some of your money back from the government that way as well.
	But anyway, what do you think about men being sluts?
	I mean, I think that men are the worst people to be gatekeeping sex.
	What do you mean?
	Well, they don't.
	In any way, shape or form.
	I mean, it's like asking the pigs to gatekeep the food.
	They just want to eat it all, all the time.
	It's like, yeah, don't give it to them.
	You know, have someone else gatekeep the thing that you think is valuable, other than the people are just going to consume all of it all the time.
	No, but do you think it's good if they're engaging in slothery?
	No, not really.
	But, like, I just don't think it's one of those things that's like...
	It just strikes me as being bizarre that you'd be like, right, okay, these guys are constantly horny and want to shag everything.
	We're going to expect them to gatekeep who has sex.
	No, it needs to go to someone else who's a bit more, like, considerate about and has more interests and concerns about sex.
	Perhaps it should go to those people who may end up getting pregnant from it, you know, who will bear the long-term consequences of it whether they like it or not.
	You know, it makes sense from a natural point of view and just from a common-sense point of view.
	I mean, don't get me wrong, don't just be a rampant slut, if you can help it, men.
	But expecting men to be the ones who are refusing sex, yeah, right.
	Sorry, I'm a bit cynical on that.
	Fair enough.
	Let's go to the next one.
	I was thinking about what Carl said about humanism being the newest sect of Christianity.
	It looks like the oppressor-oppressed framework was spliced with the ideal of Christ.
	These people are trying to emulate the sacrificial figure of Christ for the benefit of the oppressed, with which in the Christian framework makes them the embodiment of God on earth to the oppressed.
	It's interesting how deeply embedded the Christian framework is in the West, even for people who explicitly denounce it.
	Carl Callum, what do you think of this?
	What do you reckon?
	I didn't really follow it.
	Basically, he's saying that the SJWs are emulating Jesus' example of being the saviour of the oppressed by bringing the burdens on themselves, and this is them essentially trying to take on the role of God.
	And it is interesting how deeply embedded the Christian framework is in the West and in Western thinking.
	And this is another one of the things that the new atheists pretending, oh, we're not Christian, we don't rely on anything Christian.
	It's like, yeah, you all do.
	You rely on a bunch of Christian assumptions, and you're just going to have to accept it.
	Sure, they've got the idea that victimhood is a virtue, which is weird.
	And that you can adopt the sins of someone else.
	Someone else's sins can be put on your shoulders.
	It's a deeply Christian ideal.
	And you don't get these sorts of moral constructs out of non-Christian cultures.
	This is a Christian moral framework, you know, that the West has been operating under since time immemorial and to this day.
	It's just that we don't call it Christian anymore.
	We've thought of a rationalistic reason for why it can be something else.
	Like when we do a national dress or something.
	People are like, what's that for British?
	It's the suits.
	But everyone wears them, so we don't think of anything special.
	He goes to hell so you don't have to, exactly.
	Anyway, Adam says, The entire premise of Build Back Better is total cringe.
	Getting rid of Trump was literally the worst thing the elites could have done.
	Trump's economic plan was the gold standard on how to build an economy, increase the middle class, Instead of Biden shrinking the middle class and making everyone poor.
	Yes.
	Alex says, I should be voting PPC. Well done, sir.
	Problem in Canada is not the politics, though.
	That's what everyone blames.
	The problem is the media lying about the protests and calling the protesters racist, conspiracy theorists and misogynists.
	No, the problem is that those accusations hold weight, right?
	If the regular Canadians are like, I don't want to be a racist, conspiracy theorist, misogynist, then they're already sheep who are going to be led to the slaughter by the media.
	The media in Canada are all craven liars.
	Well, the media everywhere are craven liars.
	This is not a Canadian problem.
	It's a universal problem, unfortunately.
	Just see one of Viva Fry's latest videos on the egging of Maxine Bernier.
	Oh, yeah, I saw that.
	And how the media failed to report it and then diminish it if it is ever brought up.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Trudeau gets a bit of grit on his arm and it's like, oh, God, the victimhood.
	Bernier, someone smashed an egg on his face and said, oh, that's fine, don't worry about it.
	I mean, there was a guy who egged Jeremy Corbyn.
	He got charged with a crime.
	I think he was taken for assault or something.
	Yep.
	And when I'm in charge, he'll be put into the House of Lords.
	George Windsor says, just a reminder for my fellow Canadians, the PPC remains the only pro-freedom, pro-free enterprise party.
	Per Ryan Jones, PPC the based option.
	That's correct.
	Does Biden really have friends or is that a tad sensationalist?
	You got me there?
	Colleagues, shall we say then.
	SH Silver's...
	Yeah, yeah.
	Comrades.
	SH Silver says, it's not too surprising that Biden's mandate is already paper thin.
	He was just barely fortified with a weak White House and split Senate, and his own party is split between corporatist, near-libs, and fervent leftists.
	His approval is already sliding downwards before Afghanistan.
	With growing inflation and his failure to negotiate the infrastructure port barrel bill, the most his admin can do is rule through executive fiat.
	And even then, he gets shut down by the courts for blatantly unconstitutional or illegal orders, like regarding stay in Mexico and the CDC eviction moratorium.
	That's true.
	Chris says, my personal view of Bolsonaro is tainted by the deforestation of the Amazon.
	Was that just leftist propaganda?
	I'm going to guess that's probably just leftist propaganda.
	There's the other thing that every president of Brazil does this because it's not a question about climate change for a Brazilian president.
	It's a question of Brazilian economy.
	So it's silly to be like, yeah, he's bad because he's done it.
	Well, everyone else has also done it.
	If you care about the issue, then it's a different way of looking at it rather than left versus right.
	Yeah.
	Omar says, And try to protect their reputation as worthless, spineless creatures of the political system.
	As we saw in the Bolsonaro video, I love it.
	It's like a politician who cares about votes is just the same as any other scoundrel.
	You know, it's like, yeah, good.
	That's exactly the kind of attitude I like.
	I can't really vote for me.
	We're going to do the right thing.
	The political elite don't try to protect their self-image towards us, but among their peers.
	So it doesn't matter when we're disappointed time and time again by failed campaign promises to the point that it's now expected.
	Boris, he's talking about you.
	It's also why they get voted out when there's some random populist that appears out of nowhere with even a whiff of authenticity.
	Yeah, I mean, if there's one thing that you can't really accuse Bolsonaro of being, it's inauthentic.
	The man's living his principles, right?
	He's like, you know, F communists and I'll die on this.
	I got stabbed by a communist.
	I just love those gender, what is it, sex education debates with schools, where people were like, we should teach sex education in the primary schools or whatever it was.
	And he was just like, no, go have gay sex wherever you want.
	Just keep it out of the classroom.
	Go F yourself.
	Stop ambushing children.
	Scoundrels.
	He's in the debate.
	There, there.
	He's just like, F off.
	Yeah.
	Love it.
	So professional.
	Again, authenticity isn't a problem that Bolsonaro seems to have, but I'm no expert on Brazilian politics.
	Matthew says, the UK took 20k refugees over five years.
	We're currently taking in around 20k refugees a month via the English Channel as it is.
	No, no, no.
	It's not 20k refugees a month, but it will be by the end of the year.
	Will this madness ever...
	No, no.
	It's...
	Well, it's a thousand...
	Well, migration watch.
	Actually, maybe it is.
	Yeah.
	So it'll be 30,000 if it's a thousand a day.
	Sigh.
	I hate being proven wrong.
	They're not refugees.
	If they were refugees, they'd have got a refugee asylum in France.
	They're illegal immigrants.
	The only reason they can come to Britain is because they failed in France.
	Will this madness ever end, or is the English way of life done for it?
	Well, this is why you're going to want to tune in to the podcast that I'm going to record after this, because it's not good news, frankly.
	None of it's good news.
	And there's reasons why the Conservatives are doing nothing about this.
	Omar says, the thing that pisses me off about the refugees is that they aren't even prioritising the interpreters or other helpers that are at risk of retaliation on persecution of the Taliban.
	They would prefer to import random third-worlders so they can build back backwards rather than rescue our own citizens.
	Yep.
	Yunalis says, Can't wait for the next terror attack.
	Thanks, Boris.
	Yep.
	Free Will says, UK politicians promising what they cannot or will not deliver.
	The whole bunch of them are useless toothpaste midwits.
	The sun is truly setting.
	Yes, that's true.
	JJHW says, The Brexit party had its bank account closed, but any Afghan who might be a terrorist has special rights to a bank account in the UK. That's a great point.
	I should have brought that up.
	Richard Tice got his bank account closed for some reason.
	Yeah.
	Just because.
	Wrong thinker.
	Yep.
	We're all probably on the list, by the way.
	Kevin says, so let me get this straight, these people are offering accommodation to Afghans that the Afghans don't want because the location is too remote.
	It's not even that they gave the Afghans the opportunity to reject the accommodation.
	They were just like, no, no, no, that's not good enough for the precious Afghans.
	They can't be living in a tent or in some lonely house near Snowdonia.
	No, no, no, they have to be given top quality accommodation in central London.
	Don't you understand how this works?
	This might be because they've tried that before, when they did it with the Somalians, and the Somalians were like, why would I want to live in northern Sweden?
	Which is a fair point, but at the same time, Weren't you fleeing a war-torn country?
	At the same point, go and live in Somalia then.
	Yeah, but it's like, this isn't a good deal for them.
	It isn't a good deal for the people who have to house them.
	It isn't a good deal for the country at large.
	No one wins here.
	No.
	Everyone loses.
	Free will again.
	Boris is being generous on our behalf.
	If only the British government were as generous to our veterans when they fall on hard times.
	Yeah, you know, the people actually deserve some sort of gibs from the government.
	In fact, the one class of people, pretty much.
	I'd be like, yeah, if someone deserves Gibbs, it is the people who fight for the country.
	Guard us while we sleep.
	Yes.
	And obviously, as a person who grew up with a military background from my father, they're the one group of people I actually would be happy to see Gibbs to.
	Anyway, Kevin says, Good point.
	Buck Swasher says, Hi Carl, thanks for pushing keto.
	I've lost £50 in five months, turning 40 beach body ready.
	Man, that's amazing.
	£50 in five months.
	That's fantastic.
	Trying to convert that into normal?
	23 kilograms?
	It's 2.2 pounds per kilogram.
	I can't do this one.
	So it's about 20 kilograms.
	That's a lot.
	That's a lot.
	Very good.
	4.5 kilograms a month.
	That's excellent.
	Dude, we're all going to be looking buff at the beach.
	Yanala says, Boris is never going to be voted for Prime Minister ever again after he broke the party mandate after flagrantly showing it off.
	And because it's not good entirely as Labour will most likely gain from this, but he'll never be seen as a trustful person again.
	No, exactly.
	The triple pension lock is gone now.
	So it's like, okay, everything.
	Just scrap your manifesto and do what the Labour Party said to do.
	Because that's where we're at.
	That's what they're doing.
	Carlos says, guys, I've lived most of my life in Brazil and I honestly recommend you don't bring Brazilian politics into the show.
	There are no honest actors on any side.
	Everyone is nepotistic and corrupt.
	Yeah, I did try to make the point.
	I don't know much about this.
	And also, there's claims from Bolsonaro, whether you believe them is another matter.
	But the point is, when it comes to something like Brazil, it's just team politics.
	Are you either pro-communist or anti-communist?
	That's what you get.
	That's all of Latin America, isn't it?
	The American version of it, which is just like, are they commie or not?
	Yes.
	Applying sort of like, you know, Western European standards of accountability to South American politics, I think is not very sensible.
	And you're not going to get what you want.
	Bolsonaro may be dishonestly smeared, but his actual actions are as reprehensible as the smears themselves.
	Well, maybe.
	The latest scandal being a delay to vaccine purchases until a source pliable to middleman stealing came into play.
	Brazil is a mess and you're just going to get mud on you from it.
	Well, we're not saying it's not a mess.
	In fact, we are saying it's a mess.
	But at the end of the day, anything to stop communism at this point, don't care.
	Just don't care.
	I'm sick of it.
	It's everywhere.
	Don't care.
	Where's that going?
	I just happen to think Bolsonaro is particularly memeable and I like his attitude towards communists.
	Yeah, I don't know about his presidency.
	I'm sure he's corrupt.
	I'm just kidding, obviously.
	Miles says, what are your views on a political party that goes back to the solid roots of English liberalism centered around a new Magna Carta constitution enforced by the Crown so that any new bills or laws that the government tried to pass that contradict it, Her Royal Highness can more easily smack down?
	I mean, that would be lovely.
	It's not going to happen.
	X-Ray Vision says, Since Florida doctors staged a protest against treating unvaccinated COVID patients, does that now mean we can refuse treatment to anyone who doesn't follow public health guidelines, such as smokers, sunbed users and obese people, or those that deliberately put themselves in danger like gang members or extreme sportsmen?
	Yeah?
	That's the precedent that's been set.
	So, there we are.
	Now, the national health provider that you're forced to pay for might not be forced to treat you.
	Lots of people in the chat saying, Callum, go climbing.
	Climb you weakling.
	And then one person saying, stand your ground, Callum.
	Literally when climbing.
	Yeah.
	I don't know what to say.
	It's just dumb.
	It's good for you.
	And Lord Neverar says, people would be less hostile to refugees if refugees we already took would go back home when it's safe instead of staying around and claiming benefits.
	And that really is the root of the problem.
	It's not even...
	People don't want to reject legitimate refugees, but they know they're never going to leave.
	They're not just here for temporary safety.
	And put that in addition to the unbelievable numbers of immigrants that we get every year, And all the problems I'm going to talk about in this podcast is just ridiculous to ask people to bear it.
	This is the point made by Douglas Murray, and to be fair to the Conservatives, the Minister for Immigration Enforcement, whose name I forget, have both made, which is, look, assess them elsewhere.
	If true, bring them here.
	That's a simple system.
	Because again, no one's against asylum in principle.
	There are people who need to be protected, and they're going to die there, and we've got the resources to keep them safe for a while.
	Also, they'll probably be an asset to us in the long term, all the rest of it.
	But these people ain't it, bud.
	And also, they're taking up spaces for genuine refugees.
	I mean, the best example probably being the interview we did with the Conservative Council candidate, Jim Park.
	I might be getting her name wrong.
	She was the lady who fled North Korea.
	And it's like, well, there's someone who's legitimate.
	And you have this guy who's come from, like, Iran.
	And it's like, yeah, Gibbs job.
	Abdul from Afghanistan, who you don't have any information on.
	And he's not from Afghanistan.
	He's from Morocco.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And he's getting a council house.
	On that, it's time to end the show.
	So if you want more from us, go to notices.com.
	Please sign up to get access to the premium content.
	And also, that's how we keep the show running.
	But otherwise, we'll be back tomorrow at 1 o'clock.
