	Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for the 7th of November 2022.
	I'm I'm joined by Harry.
	Hello!
	And today we're going to be talking about the fact that the checkmarks get the ban too.
	Midterm madness and destroying a nation is very easy.
	Almost comically easy.
	Even a child could do it.
	Anyway, we shall begin with the fact that the checkmarks are getting the ban too.
	It's good news, everyone!
	The checkmarks are also getting purged, which is fun to see, and I thought we'd enjoy.
	I know it's a bit of fluff, but I like a bit of fluff.
	Hey, I'm always happy to see our enemies suffer.
	Yeah.
	So we'll start off just with a mention, of course, of something on the website.
	So this will be Giovanni Gentili's The Doctrines of Fascism book club I did with Carl, which, you know, these people will endlessly scream about fascism.
	None of them have ever read anything that fascists have ever written about what their own thoughts are.
	And if you'd like to be more intelligent than a checkmark...
	Not hard.
	Yes, really not hard.
	Yeah, not hard, but if you'd like to beat the FO on this subject too, one hour, it's all it's worth, and go and check it out on Lois's.
	Otherwise, we shall begin, because we'll go to the first tweet here, being that Musk decided to make a statement.
	Going forward, any Twitter handles engaging in impersonation without clearly specifying parody will be permanently suspended.
	Just to clarify, I'm pretty sure this was a rule that's been on Twitter for basically forever.
	He's just enforcing it a bit more strictly now.
	So the rule was that they'd send you a warning and be like, wait, stop doing that.
	Or you.
	And you'd say, alright, fair enough.
	Or not.
	You'd put your hands up and go, alright, you caught me.
	So this is the reasoning that was given for why Milo was de-verified, which doesn't seem true.
	Who was Milo impersonating?
	He changed his, some article came out slandering him from Vice or something.
	So he changed it to the journal who did it, for a laugh.
	Yeah, I think he had parody in the title or whatever.
	He was like, I'm not doing it.
	I'm not getting rid of the joke because the joke's funny.
	And he lost his verification over that.
	That's what Twitter say.
	But I don't believe they care, at least back then.
	Whereas now, Elon's saying anyone who does that permanent suspension, no warning, go to hell because I actually want the verification to mean something.
	I'm charging money for it.
	So there's the reasoning.
	Very sad for Count Dankula, of course, being that he could never impersonate John J. Trump or another Supreme Court justice.
	So, very cringe.
	Without having to put parody in his own title, which is nice very well.
	This is the pain that comes with success.
	Yeah, I suppose so.
	But...
	Um, well, the checkmark didn't take kindly to that, because, well, they wanted to piss around and find out.
	They didn't think the rules applied to them.
	You have someone here, responding, I love how all these blue checkmarks who have been advocating greater censorship for years are suddenly citing Supreme Court cases to maintain that any removal of a fraudulent account would violate First Amendment principles.
	This being the idea that if you ban someone who is verified, um, well, if they're impersonating someone else, then bye-bye.
	Even if they're verified.
	And some leftist is like, well, this is an infringement of free speech, and it's like...
	No, actually.
	Since when did you care?
	No, but infringement isn't First Amendment law either.
	Like, if you impersonate another individual in day-to-day life, that's also a crime.
	A density theft.
	Let's go even further than that.
	I mean, it's a private company.
	They can do what they want.
	Painful bollocks.
	But that's the rules they want to live under.
	They can die under it.
	And Kathy Griffin was the first person to kill herself.
	In this example, if you scroll up here, you can see Kathy Griffin.
	Sorry to rename herself Elon Musk.
	Oh no.
	No parody in the name.
	So, um, banned.
	Just straight down.
	Swatting a fly.
	Two million followers gone.
	Why did you think you could do that?
	Why did you think you could get away with it?
	Nothing would happen.
	I mean, she got away with a lot, though, didn't she?
	Yeah.
	Well, not anymore.
	Bye-bye.
	Although, Elon responded to all this very funnily, as he always does, which he says, actually, she was suspended for impersonating a comedian.
	But if she really wants, she can have the account back for $8.
	Funnier routine than anything I've ever seen from Griffin.
	Yeah, that's also...
	Okay, that's a neat way out of it, though.
	It's like, if you get banned, just pay the eight bucks, and you can have your account back.
	Just rename your account back to what your name was.
	That's the deal.
	And if you ban it, if you break the rules again, we'll ban you again.
	You can pass another eight bucks, and we'll keep taking the eight bucks until we've got 80 million bucks every year coming in.
	But if we go to an account, which seems to be her, is her demanding to have her account back.
	Can't verify this is her, of course, but I suppose that's the point.
	I demand Elon Musk, aka Mr.
	Free Speech, reinstates my account.
	Two likes.
	He's got two million followers.
	I mean, they think that they've got such a blow against Elon if they just say that he's the free speech guy.
	Yeah.
	The First Amendment doesn't really apply.
	Sorry.
	No, but also the First Amendment doesn't protect impersonating other individuals either.
	No.
	That's what that previous Twitter argument was about.
	If you follow her over with this account, I don't know if this is her, but it seems to be.
	Like, the description is just like, yeah, banned by Eleon Moss, this is my alt.
	Could just be some shitpost, which, you know, if you are, good meme.
	I did see that George Alexopoulos has also changed his name to Kathy Griffith.
	Parody!
	Yes.
	Big capital letters, parody.
	Following the rules.
	Someone else didn't decide to follow the rules.
	I'm Tom Brady, I break the rules.
	Ethan Klein, who decided to rename himself Elon Musk.
	No parody in the name.
	But he did decide to put a parody account in his images around him in the bio, which wasn't the rules.
	So, what do you think happened when he put out this tweet saying, people are going to say the N-word on Twitter, that's a sacrifice I'm willing to accept for the cause of free speech.
	Was it that Ethan was able to get away with not holding himself to a standard he holds everybody else to?
	Like he always does.
	I mean, even this tweet is comical.
	Yeah, Elon Musk just wants to say the N-word, that's why he thinks free speech is.
	Like, Ethan, you're on camera saying N-F. Many times in a row.
	Can't say those words.
	Well, wasn't it the exact term he used to describe that word mouth butter?
	It was just so smooth, it rolled off his tongue so smoothly.
	Yeah.
	So, just shut up.
	You moron.
	Whatever.
	If you're going to get banned for trying to impersonate Elon Musk and you're going to throw out some absolutely epic dunks right before you do, you could do better than this, Ethan.
	No, you couldn't.
	Well, yeah, true.
	We've got the next one here.
	We can see people pointing out that Ethan thinks we should turn over free speech rights because some people might use a slur.
	A slur he used publicly, repeatedly.
	Also, it's the same hack that...
	Sorry, him being a hack, it's also the same bit he stole from Countdowncula as well.
	Which is totally true from actual Justice Warrior there.
	But also just the ridiculousness of being like, yeah, free speech, but swear words?
	What are you, a Nazi?
	Well, you might have to say nasty things under a free speech situation.
	I mean, not sure about this anymore, guys.
	Profanity is protected speech under the First Amendment.
	Ethan Klein, who also constantly, whenever people say about how anti-free speech he is, brings up the, I protected free speech back in the YouTube days.
	Come on.
	Spoken about that.
	But if we go to the next one here, you can see a suspended account because he's gone.
	He's banned.
	Bye-bye.
	And nothing of value was lost.
	No, the more meaningful point is, why did any of these people do it?
	There's a few others as well.
	But why did Kathy Griffin and Ethan think they could just do this and nothing would happen?
	It's because they're used to being on top.
	They're used to having no consequences applied to them.
	And even if they did, Ethan would just call up his best friend Susan at YouTube and have it fixed.
	Whereas now, no.
	No, the lords and ladies situation in which you have to be a privileged elite to even have the fact that you are the person you say you are on Twitter.com is gone.
	Your club is dead.
	It's over.
	But instead, the rarefied checkmark means literally nothing except that you are who you say you are.
	Sorry, are we pulling down the Twitter aristocracy?
	Is that what's going on, right?
	Viva la revolution!
	100%.
	That's exactly what the system was before.
	I'm happy for it.
	The entire system before was, you could get in the club if you were the right kind of person, and if you weren't, you couldn't.
	You just couldn't.
	And now it's, are you who you say you are?
	Premier at Bucks to prove it?
	Alright, have a good day.
	Like every other service on Earth that isn't running an aristocracy for some goddamn reason.
	We'll get onto it in the next segment as well, but there seems to be a lot of evidence to suggest that people who had checkmarks might have already paid for them in the past.
	$15,000?
	Yes, roughly $15,000, but $8 is just way too little, because now the little guy can get verified as well.
	If we go to the next link here, you can see his podcast account.
	He's whining about it on here, which is actually a ban evasion.
	So also this should be purview for a ban as the rules are written.
	So there's that.
	I'm sure he can justify it by saying, oh, the intern runs it or something.
	No, because when we ran the account for Carl when running for the Southwest in the EU elections, we were banned.
	Carl had no access to the account.
	We never gave him the password.
	We wouldn't even tell him the password because we were like, no, you'll get banned.
	And they banned me and John from running the account.
	It was like, it literally had nothing to do with the person who was banned.
	Brilliant.
	Other than we were covering the campaign we were running, but too bad.
	So, no.
	The rules are applying as they apply.
	Or at least should do.
	There's also a guy who impersonated Andy Ngo, who decided to put out the yeah, I did that Atomwaffen S from his account.
	This is some leftist reporter.
	Oh, the Intercept.
	He's banned now.
	So, bye-bye.
	Again, people who thought this wouldn't happen to them.
	They would break the rules, nothing would happen.
	Well, now he's banned.
	Permanently.
	Goodbye.
	He effed around and certainly he found out.
	Yeah.
	And the thing is, all of this, let's say, drama or whatever, this is all circling only in political circles, because you must remember, the Lords and Ladies aristocracy of the verified checkmarks and the power Twitter had was not the mass user base.
	It was the fact that they had a monopoly on political arena talking.
	The fact that all the MPs, all the congressmen, All the senators, all the government departments were all on Twitter.com.
	They weren't exactly going to make an account on Gab anytime soon, not only because of their political prejudices, but because they also liked it being an exclusive club and were happy to go along with that situation.
	And now that monopoly on Twitter.com seems to have died.
	I suppose we'll see how it all goes forward, but that is a reality, which I'm very interested in, because, yeah, your club is over.
	None of the MPs or senators or anything have noticed any of this, nor do they care.
	They're just in it for the ride.
	Just soul-crushing politicians.
	I've seen a lot of blue checkmarks and a lot of lefty people that I know going on to one called Tribal and other such places.
	This is the activist base, which, yeah, there'll be some split there, but no one cares.
	Because the de facto reality of where is the power is amongst those institutions, which the right has learned that lesson.
	This is just a description of what is.
	Just the right learned this lesson from being banned from twitter.com, and then had to go to other places.
	And one of the things, you know, they built success.
	I mean, Gabba's a success, Getter is a success.
	But one of the things they are missing, and they know they're missing, is that institutional foot in the door.
	The fact that they don't have every lord from the House of Lords, or The fact that they don't have the actual government tapping them on the shoulder, asking them to influence things.
	Essentially giving them free money.
	Like, it is a disadvantage that the right activists have who have been banned, whereas the left activists have never had this before.
	Now they're learning it the hard way, so that's good to know.
	We go forward as well, we can see this one, which some guy's whining about the fact that, as he says here, one of the peasants, I was like, yeah, that's how you talk about us, attempting to sign up for the new paid influencer checkmark, a conspiracy theory influencer QAnon John.
	It's like...
	Okay.
	Alright.
	Literally, so what?
	Like, sure.
	I don't believe in any of the QAnon stuff.
	Okay, fine.
	You still don't have to listen to the guy.
	But he's saying he is who he is.
	I believe him.
	He's paid the eight bucks.
	Count checks out on the credit card.
	What, you think he's not who he is?
	You got any evidence for that?
	No, you're just upset.
	You're just upset he's getting into the club.
	And speaking of which, the media have decided to be very upset about all of this.
	We have Vice posting some coke.
	Being verified on Twitter actually sucks.
	You don't want it.
	Don't sign up for it.
	No, it's terrible.
	Please don't.
	I like being in my club.
	Well, I mean, as the verified checkmark generally indicates previously, it won't anymore, potentially, but it generally indicated alignment with people I hate, and also possibly just an IQ check.
	Yeah, it must have sucked, because everybody knows you're a moron.
	This is some person at Vice, some rando, who is whining about it.
	And their perspective actually is somewhat true, I imagine, for them and in their life, because they are just a random nobody at Vice.
	They write, Twitter verification also bestows a kind of negative visibility on the platform.
	There are obvious requirements for getting verified.
	There aren't.
	It's just that being cool or important or official has gradually stopped being one of them.
	Wait, being cool?
	Yeah, but this is the point.
	What does that have to do with any of the others?
	Her complaint is that once upon a time, back when Twitter would verify people like Milo, because he was who he said he was, and therefore give him the checkmark, he gives a crap, that system changed, and instead it was an exclusive club of the boring establishment shills.
	Or as she liked to think of it, the cool kids.
	Well, she thought of it in those previous terms, where it was actually just anyone who was doing a thing and could show you their ID. That's how the system used to work.
	And then Twitter deleted that system and said, we'll be verifying who we wish, which became people they like.
	And yeah, when she joined, it was like that.
	It was crap.
	It was just the club.
	She joined the cool kids club.
	It's mortifying to admit it, but I envisioned the blue check as an entrance to an elite club where I'd rub virtual elbows with actually famous people.
	No, instead you've got an activist club of elitists.
	You've got the boring people who are not interesting, but instead are there because we're all friends.
	That's literally all it is.
	I like that she admits the reasoning for most people wanting the blue check mark.
	Instead, it turned my timeline into effing LinkedIn.
	Yeah, it did.
	Again, that's all it became.
	It had nothing to do with reality, about who's who.
	It just had to do with networking.
	I think I put my tiny violin down somewhere.
	I must have misplaced it.
	I wanted to be verified like Rihanna.
	I could have been a star!
	Now I'm verified like a local news reporter in Wisconsin begging for permission to use someone's photo of an open candy bar for a story about fentanyl.
	Yeah, you are a just know-nothing reporter.
	You're not interesting.
	You are a nobody, correct.
	The guy in Wisconsin is actually doing good work for his community there, in the example you give.
	He's asked for permission to use a photo for a story about fentanyl destroying his neighbourhood.
	Whereas you, why not vice?
	You're utterly worthless compared to this, you know, Wisconsin reporter you're making up in your head, as if he's lower than you.
	Like, no, he's much better than you.
	You're garbage, of all things.
	But it's also an accurate description of the system, how it's worked, because why the hell is Lord Miles not verified?
	And we all know it's him.
	Yeah.
	He blew up.
	He was a major figure.
	And for one, he doxxed himself.
	Yes.
	If that isn't enough for verification, what is?
	But it's the point of, I know Lord Miles has made several applications of the verification system as well.
	It's definitely him.
	There's no question about that.
	He also blew up at the time of the Afghan takeover.
	That was probably the peak of when he was floating around in all the news stories.
	And, well, that's a perfect time to verify him so everyone knows it's the right guy and not some parody account or someone impersonating him.
	And he never got one.
	But yeah, it's literally a club of people they like.
	They don't like Lord Miles because he says things they don't like doing.
	Anyway, we'll move forward because we have Elon making some further updates on all of this.
	Twitter needs to become the far most accurate source of information about the world.
	That's our mission.
	500,000 likes.
	Jack gets upset about that.
	Accurate to who?
	He's like, well, reality.
	Not subjective.
	Truth, because that doesn't mean anything.
	Not whoever's just paying you at the time, Jack.
	No, and instead it should be a community notes feature, as he calls it, instead of Birdwatch, because Birdwatch sounds creepy and it does sound creepy.
	That's what it was called before.
	That's true.
	Big brother is watching.
	Anyway.
	Big bird is watching.
	Yeah.
	Giant yellow chicken looming overhead.
	If you go to the next one here and scroll up, we see a guy who gets very, very upset about this.
	He's very, very upset that Elon wants to make the reality reality and says, and to do this, I'll let anyone who gives me money appear to be a legitimate source of news rather than just ensuring all legitimate sources of news are confirmed to be who they say they are.
	Yeah, and Elon's perfect response.
	You represent the problem.
	Journalists who think they are the only source of legitimate information.
	That's the big lie.
	Yeah.
	You guys are horrible.
	You took this new age system of the internet, let's say, specifically Twitter.com and just being a platform where information is spread, and this is a revolution in all of humanity.
	I can't pinpoint enough.
	If you want to look at the history of information exchange, the internet and social media is really something.
	The fact that literally anyone can share information and it can be read by everyone on the planet for the cost of an internet connection.
	You think about trying to do that when you've got a printing press.
	It is completely insane.
	Just completely revolutionise the way that we communicate with one another, and not always for the best.
	But it also allows literally us to fact-check each other in real time, see if something's true, also access to all information without any gatekeepers keeping us out of what's true, and that's a problem.
	Why?
	Because we're the ones who are meant to tell you what's true.
	That's our job as the press.
	That's their opinion of themselves.
	This is a checkmark here.
	Yeah, you are the problem.
	Elon is exactly right.
	And if we go forward, we can see just the memes of this.
	Rachel Maddow, when Twitter verification can be brought for 20 bucks, people won't know who should listen to.
	This is how democracy dies!
	Democracy is when you listen to the approved source only.
	I mean, like, you literally sound like Bashar al-Assad telling us that the only approved source is the government source, the establishment source.
	That's the only way you can get information.
	If they say it's not true, it's not true.
	Don't believe your lying eyes.
	Pretty sure Thomas Jefferson has a relevant quote to this, but, yeah, something about free and open press, ah, who cares?
	Whatever, some old dead white man.
	Oh, yeah, he probably owned slaves as well.
	I mean, he did, to be fair.
	We go to the next one here.
	We're going to see mass Twitter layoffs before the US midterms could be a misinformation disaster.
	Warn the Guardian.
	Oh no.
	Our information might be freely exchanged.
	You can't control it.
	Like the Pope.
	Yeah, you guys are literally the historical censors of our time.
	You are the ones freaking out.
	The printing press has been invented and just anyone can print books now!
	Yeah, they can.
	Well, and what happens if the book has something wrong in it?
	Currently we're having them plebs writing no books now, can we?
	What if there's anti-Catholic books being written?
	Yeah, there will be.
	There'll be Bibles in English.
	Get used to it.
	Don't know what else to say.
	And also, if we go to the next one, we have the news that, of course, the check marks are finally being dished out.
	For some lads, apparently it's only available in the United States, and the process is slow, because, well, you also had to downsize the company, didn't you?
	Well, you fired, like, 75% of the whole staff.
	Ah, feels good.
	Oh, Jesus Christ, I think the table just lifted an inch or two.
	It's getting even better, though.
	It's not just 75% of the staff.
	We go to India, 90% of all the ill Indians.
	Hello for twitter.com.
	You can see the next link here.
	You can see 90% of Twitter employees in India.
	Got it.
	That's right, he's just removed all customer service phone companies.
	That's what he's done.
	He's just fired all of them.
	I don't know how much these Indians were getting paid.
	Presumably if they're at the customer service level, it probably wasn't worth it.
	Don't worry, there'll be like three million other companies in that country that they can go join instead.
	But India does have a huge tech industry, and if they are hiring engineers in India that you don't need, well, goodbye.
	Don't need you.
	Bye-bye.
	And in which case, learn to dig.
	Or code or something.
	Well, not code.
	Learn to dig.
	Learning to code is not going to help them.
	How long is that going to take?
	Get shoveled, start digging.
	That's something that was beneath them, remember?
	They were going to do anything like that.
	Anyway, if we go to the next one here, we'll see that there is some news in here, some checkmark.
	Elon Musk has fired Twitter's entire accessibility division.
	What?
	Those people whose job it is to think about the blind, deaf, and visually impaired people who use Twitter.
	Now, I'm not being funny, but I... I thought how, when I first read this, if you're blind and deaf, do you use Twitter?
	Or blind or deaf?
	I suppose if you're deaf, it's not that hard.
	You just read it, but...
	If you're blind...
	Well, if you're blind, maybe there's, like, a special feature where it does, like, text-to-speech for you, but can you imagine the nightmare of scrolling through each of the tweets shouting at you?
	He gives us an example.
	There's a lady, she, like, hovers her finger over her phone until it vibrates the right way, and then says what she's hovering over.
	And she gets on, and she can, like, hover over the tweets, and it'll read it.
	It's really convoluted, to say the least, about how to get that up.
	If you can go what I was talking about.
	I mean, I'm not...
	$8 is $8.
	If you go back to what I was talking about, we can see the person showing it, which is that you have the accessibility examples he gives.
	Well, I mean, I'm not entirely against providing accessibility options to people with disabilities the same as...
	The same with video games.
	Yeah, but that's the thing.
	You've got a thousand users and you've got to spend 200 grand a year.
	Yeah, that's the thing.
	Now he's running it like a business and aiming to not lose money like Twitter has been doing constantly since it started.
	Yeah, you've got to have to take these cost-benefit analysis into account.
	Yeah, actual money matters.
	And if we go to the next one here, we can see that there is some other news, which is apparently they want some of those back as well, like the employees who left, which is that they've got 3,500 they fired, this Bloomberg article says.
	They gave them three-month severance each.
	Not bad.
	That's really good.
	Especially, that's three months that you can just look for another job in, you know, Silicon Valley.
	Incredibly generous.
	Elon Musk says it's 50% more than was legally required for them as well.
	Oh, that's all right of him.
	Yeah.
	And then saying that some of them apparently were fired in error but might be called back.
	I don't know one number there.
	It's probably not a lot, frankly.
	Well, I saw the emails going around and I imagine it was probably something that was automated on a certain side.
	There was two emails, one saying, like, sorry, your job's been affected by this.
	Sorry, your job...
	And then the ones saying, happily, your job has not been affected by this.
	So I imagine there might have been some wires crossed and some emails got sent to the wrong people.
	Maybe.
	But they say in here that it's just about Android and iOS stuff as well, so I doubt it even matters.
	But there we are.
	The verified check marks are getting taste of their own medicine, which is you're getting banned for breaking the rules.
	Except you actually broke the rules, unlike the writers who never broke the rules, so enjoy it.
	Just saying, what is this?
	What is this?
	$8 is $8.
	Elijah Schaefer breaking as the new Twitter blue is rolling out.
	Some users are upset when selecting your sex option in the profile that only has male, female, and other.
	If users selects others, a seek mental help pop-up box appears and the app makes them auto-follow.
	Ha ha!
	Is that true?
	That doesn't sound true.
	I hope that's true.
	That just sounds like fake news.
	I really want that to be true.
	There's no way they do that.
	Somebody in the comments verify that for us.
	Please try and change your sex on Twitter.
	Alright then, let's move on.
	To midterm madness.
	That's right, the midterms are coming up Tomorrow, we're broadcasting this on Monday, the 7th, and the midterm elections will be going on on Tuesday, the 8th of November in America.
	And we, in the rest of the Western world, hold our breath together to wait to see whose lead our countries will be following.
	Because England, Canada, everywhere else, we all just look to America to see what they're doing.
	And there are some big things...
	It's a perk of being the global hegemon.
	It really is, isn't it?
	And some of the big, big topics that people are...
	is women's rights.
	Women's rights and abortions are what people are most afraid of, and it seems that that's what most people are using to try and...
	Not the economy?
	Money?
	Well, on the left, I should say.
	On the right, inflation and the economy and other such things that are important to people's day-to-day life.
	Independence also?
	Money?
	Yeah, yeah.
	All of these things are very important to the right, but to the Democrat base and to most of the left, they are being told that if they don't vote left, if they don't vote Democrat, then women's rights are in danger and Roe v.
	Wade will stay overturned, whereas the Democrats desperately want to get Roe v.
	Wade back in place.
	And to do so...
	Along with fear-mongering, the Democrats are going for the Kuma voter base, as we'll cover as we carry on.
	And as such, it's very relevant to point out that the new freemium article that's available for free for all of our viewers, you don't have to have a premium subscription to view this now, for the next week, is Thomas' old article he got back in January called Why Feminists Won't Talk About OnlyFans, where he's discussing the phenomenon where it's all women's rights...
	...sexual agency and such like that, but they really refuse to properly address OnlyFans, although I do think that in the time since this article has been published, that's changed just a little bit, because now a lot of feminists, a lot of people saying that they're feminists, are saying about how OnlyFans is a very, very good thing.
	As well as that, I also wanted to promote a recent contemplation that you do need to be a premium subscriber to access, which is The Psychology and Morality of Pornography...
	Where Josh and Connor more so had a debate about whether porn should be legal or illegal in the first place.
	And there were some very intelligent and interesting points made on both sides.
	But let's get into it now.
	So, even in the BBC over here, we have articles talking about what are the US midterms and talking about what happens if the Republicans win.
	And they say if the Democrats hang on, this is the...
	This is the stakes of this.
	What were you saying?
	Go on.
	You remember during Brexit, when they were like, yeah, we'll run out of sandwiches, we'll all get super gonorrhea.
	If Brexit happens, do you remember those articles?
	Yeah, no, I remember those articles.
	Parts of England will start to sink randomly.
	A meteor will just smash into the United States.
	That's right, without the weight of all of the immigrants holding England down, it'll float off.
	It's not going to run out of sandwiches.
	Oh yeah, but run out of sperm as well, that was one.
	What?!
	We've run out of Danish sperm.
	That was a real article about Brexit.
	I've got more than enough of that for the country, don't worry.
	Apparently not, according to the BBC. Oh, they've not met me just yet, have they?
	Alright, so, if the Democrats hang on, President Biden will be able to keep going along with his plans on climate change, expanding government-run healthcare programmes, and protecting abortion rights and tightening gun control.
	So all the bad things...
	To translate this to a writer's position, if Democrats hang on, Biden will implement all of the bad things.
	If the Republicans take control of either chamber, they'll effectively grind that agenda to a halt.
	They'll also be able to control investigative committees so they could end the inquiry into January 6th, and...
	We start wasting everyone's time.
	Yeah, we could save people money, protect the rights of the unborn, all this sort of stuff, and leftists there at the side screeching and weeping.
	But my abortion rights!
	They might also launch new investigations into topics like the Chinese business dealings of Hunter Biden, all the sudden withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan.
	So, actual interesting things that are...
	Hang on.
	The capital, no money was wasted.
	Nothing really interesting that happens.
	Whereas with Afghanistan, you left billions of dollars of equipment for the Taliban.
	Why exactly?
	And you're taking bribes from China.
	Why exactly?
	Come on, man.
	That was last year, man.
	Come on, let me just get my ice cream.
	You sound weirdly Texan.
	I don't know.
	He's American.
	Joe Biden doesn't even know what state he comes from, so...
	Of the 435 seats in the House, most are safely held by either party, with just 30 currently a toss-up between the two suburban areas around key cities like Pennsylvania, California, Ohio and North Carolina are going to be the clinchers for this.
	And in the Senate, it now looks like four of the 35 seats being contested realistically could go either way.
	Pivotal races here are Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania.
	So from what I'm aware right now, the Democrats have the majority, but it's quite an almost even split, and it's similar in the House.
	So this could really tip things over to a Republican House, which could allow them to make some good headways.
	But that's all dependent on whether, you know, Republicans are actually going to muster the political will to do things, because, you know, we had things like Roe v.
	Wade being overturned earlier this year, which was a great step in the right direction, but...
	Whether the rest of them who aren't Clarence Thomas will go ahead with anything, we'll see.
	But there is a bit of a sign for tomorrow that's kind of spooky, which is that tomorrow will be a blood moon, so perhaps there will be some trickery in the air, perhaps unexpected things will happen.
	Tony D and old Joan here.
	Yep, and we get all of the usual whining from all of the typical people.
	For instance, Robert Reich, I always find it funny that that's his surname, going on to The Guardian to write an article explaining how much of an NPC he is.
	The results of the midterms may determine if American democracy endures.
	Where he states, in elections before this one, he gives you a nice list of his NPC credentials.
	I've worried about Republicans taking over and implementing their policy preferences.
	Against political rights in the dark days of Senator Joe McCarthy.
	Oh dear.
	Against civil rights in the late 50s and early 60s.
	Against Medicare in the 1960s.
	For small government in the 1970s and tax cuts in the 80s.
	A balanced budget in the 1990s.
	He's saying all of this is a bad thing if you want smaller government, smaller taxes and a balanced budget.
	This is all terrible.
	This is all bad news.
	Against universal healthcare in the 90s and 2000s, and against LGBTQ rights in the 2010s, I support the current thing.
	And today, I'm not particularly worried about Republicans' policy preferences.
	Today, I'm worried about the survival of our democracy.
	So we've got an absolute home run.
	That's a...
	That's an absolute ringer right there.
	Every single NPC checklist that you could fill out, he's been there.
	Every single time.
	The only thing he doesn't mention is apartheid, but I'm sure if he had the space, I'm sure if he had the word count, he'd get it in there somehow.
	I don't know who chooses their name, but to have Mr.
	Empire over here, tell us about how much he loves democracy.
	Mr.
	Reich.
	Yeah.
	It's beautiful, isn't it?
	Ich bin Hans Reich.
	Okay.
	That's great.
	But there was something that made me do a little double take when I found that CNN had released an article where they were actually fact-checking Biden.
	Now, the guy who wrote this, Daniel Dale, I looked up his name on the website, and it turns out he's done lots of fact-checking of Trump's former speeches and such.
	So maybe to give the appearance of, you know, impartiality, he decided that, OK, I should probably actually fact-check Biden.
	And my God, he found everything wrong with everything Biden said.
	So I'm quite pleased to see that, including Biden at a Democratic fundraiser saying that, on our watch for the first time in 10 years, seniors are going to get the biggest increase in their Social Security checks they've ever gotten.
	But Biden's boasts leave out such critical context that they are highly misleading.
	He hasn't explained that the increase in Social Security payments for 2023, 8.7%, is unusually big, simply because the inflation rate has been unusually big.
	Because there's a law from the 1970s that say that the two of them need to go hand in hand.
	It's the cost of living adjustment.
	So Biden's a liar, or at least highly misleading.
	Actually, you have to thank Nixon for that.
	Yeah, we do have to thank Nixon for that one.
	And Biden said in Florida on Tuesday at MyWatch for the first time in 10 years seniors are getting an increase in their social security checks and he says this is just ridiculous because there's been a cost of living increase every year since 2017.
	So CNN actually pointing out that yes, Biden does in fact lie.
	CNN has been very eager to hide other things related to the Biden family but at least they're coming out and saying this just in time for the midterms.
	And when we actually look at the Line-up of usual suspects.
	Yeah, the line-up of candidates for the midterms.
	We can see that the Dems are not sending their best.
	Thank you for choosing to pause this on me pulling a soy face, John.
	I really appreciate that.
	But here's where Josh and I covered John Fetterman, which we deemed a Dem worse than Biden.
	This is not to just forgive all of the Republicans that these Democrats are going to be going against, because Dr.
	Mehmet Oz...
	Who John Fetterman is up against in his midterm election, is not a particularly fantastic candidate.
	He's barely right-wing at all.
	I would say he's more like a mid-2000s Democrat, but he's still better than a man who can barely formulate sentences, which is...
	Strong disagree.
	All right, okay.
	I'm on team Differently Abled for this one.
	Oh, I'm sorry, I'm just...
	I think Congress should be made up of the actually, you know, mentally impaired...
	I mean, if the Democrats had anything to do with it, they absolutely would be.
	I want this to be the face of the Democrats for the next ten years.
	Would this be more honest politics?
	This would just be honest politics.
	They're all retards, and now it's just more obvious.
	I mean, you know, it's a tactical victory, is all I'm saying.
	Yeah, I suppose so.
	I mean, John Fetterman is a man who has had a stroke in the past year, and it's very, very clearly affected his cognitive abilities and his orating skills, and yet the Democrats have still been pushing him against...
	Still good enough for us!
	Yep.
	That is what's happened.
	I mean, look at our president.
	There you go.
	They're like, well, if we've got Biden in charge, I mean, at the end of the day, it just makes him easier to control for whoever's actually pulling the string.
	He makes Biden look good.
	Is that what the strategy is?
	That might be.
	That might be.
	And like I said, the Dems are going all in on the Cooma voter base because this is how you win votes from Reddit, ladies and gentlemen.
	For instance, New York congressional candidate made a porn video in order to show how sex positive he was in his campaign.
	Now this man, Representative Gerald Nadler, which sounds almost suspiciously close to Diddler.
	I've seen what he looks like.
	Yeah, he looks like Mr.
	Clean.
	He is a Democrat, he's a member of the Democrat Party, but he is running as an independent.
	He made a porn video and posted it on...
	Wait, uh...
	Oh, no, he's running to unseat Gerald Nadler.
	Oh, right, okay.
	Have you seen Gerald Nadler before?
	No, I haven't.
	He's the guy who said Antifa was a myth.
	He's, like, 70, quite fat, really not attractive...
	I'm sure there's videos of him floating around on the internet if you went far enough to look.
	The man who actually made the porn video was Mike Itkiss, a self-described liberal independent candidate, and Josh told me that he's...
	Josh and Connor, not Jonner, we don't have any staff called Jonner.
	Josh and Connor told me that apparently he is actually a Democrat.
	He's just running as an independent candidate.
	He uploaded the video titled, Bucket List Bonanza...
	Bucket list bonanza to Pornhub over the summer with a porn performer called Nicole Sage and told the city and state that he made the video as a conversation piece.
	You know, when you're near to a lovely fancy dinner party and you really needed a conversation piece to start and you go, hey everybody, I'll get the projector up.
	Would you like to see what I've been working on over the summer?
	It certainly would get some conversations started.
	This is how far we've fallen.
	This is how far the West has fallen.
	He also said that simply talking about the issue of sex positivity wouldn't show others just how committed he is to the issue.
	Sorry, is this political though?
	I'm pretty sure he just wanted to have sex with this porn star.
	Porn's legal in the United States.
	It's like the capital of it for the planet.
	All the productions are done there.
	They're all jumping over themselves to try and show not just that these things are legal, but they're encouraging these things as well.
	We want men and women to prostitute themselves from a very young age in this country now.
	That's the message.
	You want to be a politician, so what policy are you going to change?
	Well, nothing.
	It's already legal.
	Well, it's just...
	Sorry, on the face of it.
	It makes no damn sense.
	They'll probably start subsidising OnlyFans, Callum.
	That's what he's doing.
	And realistically speaking, all I see this as is a subversion and transgression of normative standards within society that's been going on since the 1960s, and this is just pushing it all the way even further.
	When you allow sexual permissiveness to the degree that we have, there's no surprise that all of a sudden the politicians are going to start showing up on Pornhub Really, is it?
	Because this isn't the only example.
	This isn't the only example of this.
	But he said, if I would just talk about it, it wouldn't demonstrate my commitment to the issue.
	And the fact that I actually did it was a huge learning experience.
	A huge learning experience.
	My learning experience got everywhere.
	And it actually influenced...
	Too far, I bet there is a lot to learn if you're doing porn.
	Maybe?
	Make good porn, I imagine, is quite hard.
	I don't...
	I'm not going to continue that.
	And it actually influenced items on my platform, he said.
	And I can only imagine that he was just thinking, I just really needed to show how hard my commitment to this subject was.
	And how I'm just willing to plough through the BS and just do it because I have a deep, deep love for my platform is the kind of way that I would have spun it if I were him.
	But he's not the only porn star running Because we've also got this woman who gained notoriety the other week when she posted her tweets thread saying about how we need to institute a right to sex.
	This Alexandra Hunt.
	Would you mind just googling her name and telling us the results that come up on this?
	Because this article is, I'm a former stripper running for Congress.
	I refuse to be ashamed.
	This is a post from the Huffington Post.
	Her name, Alexandra Hunt.
	Are you seeing any unusual results coming up?
	I'm not clicking on the images.
	Yeah, I bet you're not.
	Yeah.
	Because she's got an OnlyFans.
	She's got an OnlyFans that shows that when you type in her name on Google or any other search engine and just scroll down, you will find it there.
	Supposedly, according to Connor, who covered her phrasing, who spoke about her on a podcast segment the other day, she put in 35,000 of her own money that she made through OnlyFans to fund her congressional campaign.
	This...
	I don't know how, because that picture there is one of the only good ones I'm seeing.
	Callum's not impressed.
	He wouldn't pay for this.
	No, he wouldn't pay money for this.
	I mean, that's the funny thing as well, is that when I googled her name, it came up with the link for her OnlyFans, and then directly underneath, leaks!
	It's like...
	Seriously.
	We need higher level of politicians.
	This is not what you think of.
	Some former stripper OnlyFans, Paul, is not what you should think of when you think of a statesman.
	Well, no, not necessarily.
	I mean, it could be logically consistent if there's actually something to be done.
	So I remember Brandy Love, for example.
	She's a porn star who, like, her kids left home and then she got into porn, so she waited until it was all dust and dunder.
	Let's do that.
	But then she got into the Republican Party and she's a libertarian and the reason she's in politics on that side is because she wants to ensure that her freedom to be able to do her job still is protected and not clamped down on.
	But to be a demon to run for it is just all kinds of weird.
	Literally the platform of censorship.
	One, I wouldn't support that Brandy Love being a part of the Republican Party, personally.
	But this is purely about...
	They want to censor wholesome, virtuous things, and they want to encourage and enable and push on younger and younger age people.
	As we see, we've covered it plenty of times, sexual degeneracy.
	So just having a whore run for Congress is perfectly in line with the Democrat platform, as far as I can tell.
	And there's more examples of this if we go to the next one, this New York Post article.
	We all remember this lovely lady.
	Most of us can't remember what she looks like from the front.
	Do you not remember this?
	No.
	The Democratic Rhode Island State Senator Tiara Mack was ripped for a video of herself twerking that she posted on her official district TikTok page.
	So if you were just going through TikTok, why would you, for one?
	But if you were just going through TikTok and were wondering, oh, what's my local state senator up to?
	And tapped on this, you'd get an Eiffel.
	You would get an Eiffel.
	And it was on the 4th of July as well.
	This is her celebrating American independence.
	And off camera, you can hear somebody apparently saying, that ass, that ass, that ass!
	At which point she turns around to the camera and says, Vote Senator Mack!
	The state senator advertised the clip as a promised senator thirst trap at Block Island with a little devil face.
	Would you vote for this woman?
	Well, what strikes me is none of this is even good.
	Like, even within the frame of like, oh, let's do something lewd for the campaign.
	Even in terms of whores, your standards are low.
	No, but like, think of Maloney, for example, in Italy.
	Like, she did something a little bit lewd.
	It's nothing like this, obviously.
	Did she?
	Like, her name means melons, and obviously melons is like boobs, and it's just funny.
	Oh, yeah.
	So she made like one Instagram post where she just had some melons and went, yeah, vote Maloney.
	LAUGHTER That's just funny, though.
	That's a pun.
	But that's the thing.
	It's a little bit lewd.
	There's a reference to sex in that way.
	But this is just like, look at my ass.
	What?
	Vote for me and you'll see even more of my ass.
	Which is gross.
	I mean, seriously, though.
	Actually, no.
	Could this be counterproductive?
	Because if you're the Kuma class, right...
	And you actively want to see more of this woman's arse.
	Wouldn't you hope that her campaign is unsuccessful so she shakes it even more for the next campaign?
	She's trapped in the...
	She's trapped in the kuma cycle.
	Only fans poverty.
	Yeah.
	It's so ridiculous.
	It racked up more than 70,000 views with one admirer saying, I need to see more politicians doing this.
	So, we've got Redditors.
	Donald Trump, when?
	Involved.
	No!
	The Golden God, the God Emperor has returned!
	Mac was unrepentant, keeping up the clip and replying to critics, and even posting a video claiming that her twerk had been a powerful illustration of bodily autonomy.
	Conversations about my body twerking upside down are directly correlated to the conversation that's happening in the United States right now after the overturning of Roe v.
	Wade.
	So yes, she did it to promote bodily autonomy and therefore abortions, meaning that her twerking was a twerk in support of Roe v.
	Wade.
	So if you're going to try and make the argument that Roe v.
	Wade and allowing on-demand permissive abortions and a culture that comes with that does not encourage female degeneracy...
	Not doing a great job.
	There's another point.
	I think you should see Chad just sort of making the point that in Italy also horse got elected.
	Like, a lot of Ferrari got elected, for example.
	And there is something true in the fact that there's a difference here.
	Because, like, when the Italians are sex-positive, as that term is used, there's at least something classy about it in a way that just isn't in any of these examples.
	There's at least a gentlemanliness about it in Italy, perhaps.
	Not ironically, though.
	Like, what's happening in these examples is just gross.
	Yeah.
	It's not even like, haha, yeah, sex, or even just like, you know, the female form or any of that crap kind of philosophical bullshit.
	It's just, look at my ass.
	Not even trying.
	Not even trying.
	Look at my ass.
	Vote for me.
	There you go.
	That's all it was.
	But moving on from that particular topic, like I said, it looks like abortion is going to be a clincher for a lot of people because they talk about social media being a massive way that a lot of these politicians are advertising themselves.
	As we saw through Tiara Mack there in her unusual campaigning, where they said a recent Harvard poll suggested access to abortions was among young voters' top concerns ahead of the midterms.
	It also indicated that most of those surveyed viewed the recent Supreme Court decision to end the automatic right to an abortion as a negative move.
	Because we know that a lot of kids go on TikTok and they get their political opinions there, and they are very often...
	Subject to left-wing propaganda, but at the end of the day, that's not really any different from traditional media like television and radio.
	For instance, I shared this the other day, which I found simultaneously shocking and hilarious, which was Matt Walsh sharing a clip from an NBC show, New Amsterdam, portraying the overturning of Roe v.
	Wade, and he says it's honestly one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life, an unintentional parody, where these men, these hard-faced fathers...
	With big love in their eyes, look over at their daughters as they realise that Roe v Wade has been overturned and think, she can't be a whore now.
	I didn't see it that way.
	I saw this clip as them like, you can no longer abort your baby, and then they've, it's like a time travel thing where it's like the baby they aborted is now born and with them, and they're like, oh my, oh no, I have to raise this child now!
	Oh no, I'm a father, no!
	Yeah, that's how I saw this clip.
	Oh, that man dropping his cup as a baby materialises next to him.
	So overturning Roe v.
	Wade was not just now, it's for all time, including the previous times.
	Yeah, but it's a Netflix documentary and he looks around and there's a girl or something and he's like, oh no.
	The daughter I aborted isn't aborted.
	The children, like zombies, begin approaching them, daddy.
	Yeah, yeah.
	That's a good reading of that.
	I like that.
	I like that.
	But this is where it goes a bit less into parody and more into just the awful state of affairs that our culture is in right now because very, very controversially, the other day, NPR aired pro-abortion propaganda that featured audio of a vacuum NPR aired pro-abortion propaganda that featured audio of a vacuum aspirator device sucking out a woman's unborn twin babies on their program, the morning edition.
	The audio of this is floating around on Twitter.
	What the fuck?
	Yep.
	This was a pro-abortion thing.
	Imagine working at NPR, and an intern comes to you and goes, I've got an idea for a show.
	I've got the audio, guys.
	No.
	I refuse to listen to this.
	I will never listen to this.
	There is nothing you could pay me to make me listen to this, because I think I would go...
	Violently insane if I heard this.
	But from the article, the talking about it...
	A Michigan-based radio host, Kate Wells, glibly narrated an 11-minute segment detailing the time she spent at the Northland Family Planning Clinic outside of Detroit.
	So, once again, this is all in favour of abortion, all in favour of pushing abortion.
	It's just normal.
	Normalise it.
	They always say that there's a reason that you don't see abortions...
	On television.
	Because if you saw what went on, people would be much more inclined to go against it.
	So I can only hope that if anything positive comes from this, that it is an optical nightmare, a disaster that completely backfires in their face.
	Because I could not imagine listening to someone have an abortion and come out of it thinking, yeah, that's the thing that we all need to have more of.
	You know, the woman, as Wells describes, has two little girls at home, but was pregnant with twins.
	When she told her three-year-old daughter that she was going to abort the twins, the child replied, maybe another time.
	And the child may not recognise it right now, but I can't imagine that's going to do any good for the kid's mental health when you just think to yourself, when you realise, when you're old enough to realise, well, I guess I'm lucky I'm alive, because my mum could have just decided, nah, can't be bothered.
	Your life is conditional under these circumstances.
	She paints the abortion clinic with these descriptions.
	In the Northland waiting room, there are these inspirational quotes on the walls like, Good women get abortions.
	Another one says, A lot of beautiful, wise women have been here before and are here today.
	So this is just awful propaganda.
	And on Twitter, live action president Lila Rose said, this is what hell sounds like, because shockingly, there was a bit of backlash against this.
	March for Life president Gian F. Mancini said, my prayer is often that the truth about abortion is brought into the light, but nothing prepared me for what this audio recording of an abortion would sound like.
	And there's a few other people, like Michael Knowles and others, saying that this was absolutely disgustingly, This was initially shared by Greg Price, I saw sharing this.
	This is what got a lot of traction.
	Like I said, if you have listened to this, if you could stomach it, I'm sorry that you went through that, because there's no way I'm going to listen to that, because I think it would upset me.
	The rest of everything was kind of going over a bit of the Twitter stuff, but I think we've covered that enough in the segment before this.
	So, yeah, midterm madness.
	Make sure you go out and vote tomorrow, and vote for the right choice, which is inevitably, as always, not the leftist choice.
	What manager hears that as a proposal and thinks, yeah, we'll do that?
	There's going to be groundbreaking radio.
	We're going to be right up there with Orson Welles on the War of the Worlds, you know?
	Maybe it's a 4D chess move.
	They're actually all pro-choice.
	Sorry, pro-life.
	I can't think of something more likely to make people pro-life than visual or audio of an abortion.
	Destroying a nation is actually rather easy, and we're going to go through how it's happening in real time, because we're living it.
	And we'll start off just with a segment called Is Tony Blair Based?
	This was a premium hangout we did on Low Seeders, me and Carl.
	Funnily enough, no.
	There you go.
	How did you get an hour out of that when that was all you needed to say?
	No, it wasn't, because you need to go through and see what he's done to this country, so do go and enjoy that.
	But most recently, I saw his party were actually proposing that they need to give reparations to victims of climate change, like the British taxpayer.
	We need to have our money stolen from us, and have it sent off to God knows where, probably into the politicians' own bank accounts, rather than actually going into it.
	Yeah, no, I think reparations for the British people first, for what you have done to this country, then we'll have any other conversation.
	All the reparations I need is deporting.
	Mass deportation.
	Deport, deport, deport.
	I think the British people deserve actual cash money for what's been done to them, because if we go to the first one here, it's not just the UK, of course.
	I just wanted to mention here, Lord Miles recently went to the Mexican-American border, and he did this video.
	This is horrific, actually.
	I'm sorry, I just like the name illegally crossing the Mexican border.
	I assume that was very easy to do.
	I don't know if you can play on this.
	There should have been a timestamp on this.
	Just hit play, just show the place.
	Which is, before he crossed the border, he's in the American side.
	And there's this cemetery here that has been put up by the authorities.
	And it's literally just filled with corpses of people who died crossing the border.
	And a lot of them are kids.
	The parents dragged their kids across this river, which is not safe in the slightest, just because they wanted money.
	They don't want security, otherwise you would have stopped at any other point.
	And there's just loads of dead kids and dead dads and mums and randos.
	And the bodies are all fresh as well.
	You can see the crosses are made with PVC piping.
	Yeah, they look very recent.
	He goes through the dates and it's just like, yeah, no, this is a couple months ago, a couple months ago, a little baby here, a couple months ago.
	Just all of them.
	And I didn't know this was a reality.
	Is this local man the one basically tending to this graveyard as well?
	I don't remember what his role was, but he's showing miles around.
	As you can see here, there's John Doe who's dead, and then baby John Doe, I think, next to it.
	There we are.
	So you can pause it there.
	It's just the point of the evil.
	That is, well, not enforcing your border.
	Because if you don't, you end up with this.
	You end up with people breaking in via routes, which are incredibly dangerous, just because they want to.
	They want access, so they're willing to risk their kids' lives.
	Parent of the year for these people.
	Anyway.
	But if we go to the ONS, the Office for National Statistics in the UK, they have some good news, everyone.
	They're willing to celebrate that one in six people in England and Wales are foreigners.
	Cool.
	Thanks for that.
	That's a weird thing to celebrate, but whatever.
	I mean, I go outside, I can see it already, but, you know, nice to have the official numbers.
	Hi here.
	But we also have many a meme, obviously, being born from, well, this deal.
	This is the funniest one I saw from No Context Brits.
	Romanian arrived in the UK on Friday, stole on Saturday, and jailed on Monday.
	Chilled on Sunday.
	What else is he going to do on Sunday?
	God's Day.
	The Romanian meme is real.
	Literally turns up and next day stealing stuff.
	Okay, and there's many an ethnic group which are taking advantage of the way we operate ourselves, but we won't go into those at the moment, because we're just looking at the pure numbers, which is not about foreign people for anyone who's watching who's confused about such things.
	It's not about an individual foreign person being bad or anything of the sort.
	It's the pure numbers, because remember, it's a numbers game.
	It's not, oh, I hate foreign food.
	It's, well, do I really want more than 50% of where I live to be foreign?
	As in, no one there is English.
	I thought, like, part of the reason I moved out of Reading was to get out of there and move to England.
	Not been successful.
	Ah, shame.
	And the number of places where that will be successful is continuously depleting.
	As we can see here, just the data from 1851 till now.
	This is the foreign-born population.
	0.6% in 1851.
	Remember, history is a whitewash from Doctor Who.
	No, it wasn't.
	1901, 1.5.
	1951, 4.2.
	2001, 8.3.
	2011, 12.7.
	And now 1 in 6.
	Hmm.
	Sorry, what was the Doctor Who thing saying history was a whitewash?
	I've forgotten that.
	Oh, there's an episode of one of the new ones where...
	Oh, I've not watched the new stuff.
	They're back in the 1800s and his companion goes, ooh, there's loads of black people around here.
	I didn't know that.
	And he's like, yes, history is a whitewash.
	I was like...
	Bollocks.
	Just made up bollocks.
	Piss!
	It's just not true.
	It's just the people at the BBC invented their own fiction.
	I think half the people at the BBC need to be charged for treason.
	It's just what you're doing.
	You're trying to propagate those people on things that aren't real.
	Anyway, this dude has the stats, of course, as mentioned.
	We've moved forward.
	There's some worry with the Conservatives, as you see here.
	The Telegraph reports that Tory MPs are worried about a new party being formed over migration because the numbers are out.
	You've had 10 years...
	Sorry, 12 years...
	Fix this.
	You didn't.
	So, go to hell.
	You made it worse.
	Yeah, literally.
	And we also have to remember that immigrants built Britain.
	Remember this narrative?
	Indeed, after the war, the immigrants we will have here, they built the country.
	Do you remember how, um, what's his name?
	Book Break Man.
	I've forgotten his name.
	Tariq Nasheed.
	You know he's got this foundational black America thing.
	Is this foundational black England?
	Is this what this is?
	Well, it's not nothing to do with race.
	That's the other thing to mention, for people who might not understand the difference.
	Foreigners, funnily enough, come in all races.
	I've had a few people I've spoken to about this.
	Not get this.
	I didn't think no one would get this, but yeah.
	Funnily enough, Germans.
	Same race as the English, but not the same ethnic group.
	So, still foreigners.
	And we can see the numbers here.
	As you can see, in the last 10 years, 42% were foreigners in the UK. 10 years before that makes it 27%.
	So, go back to the 90s, and you're already at over 75% of the foreigners here.
	You look at those who came to rebuild Britain after the war, 1%.
	You have?
	Or 1951?
	Yeah, you want to include the 60s?
	Sure, that makes up to 3%.
	Nothing.
	Nada.
	Not even significant.
	I didn't put it in here, but I don't know if you can go back on this image, John, and click on the quote tweet.
	Because I want to go through, I should have added it, which is just the Conservative Party's manifesto as well.
	So, no, if you go to the tweet we were on, and then go to the quote tweet in there, then if you go to that thread and scroll down, we can find the Conservative Party manifestos as well.
	Because the change is just amazing.
	I don't know if you know this, but if you just go back and look at the promises...
	No, I've not looked at their manifestos.
	They're old ones, at least.
	But you just track, like, the past.
	So if we click on the fourth one first, let's do that, because then we can go back in time and check out the past.
	Because we have here, this is Boris's manifesto, saying there will be fewer lower-skilled immigrants, and overall numbers will come down, and we will ensure that British people are always in control of immigration.
	That was three years ago.
	Sorry.
	That didn't happen.
	That didn't work out, did it?
	But if we go, we'll go back.
	Just one image.
	So if you go left, we can see, I think this is in 2017.
	Controlled, sustainable migration with net migration down to tens of thousands.
	A hard cap that was never implemented.
	Where did they get the idea from?
	If we go back one more, we can go back.
	I think this is 2015.
	A hard cap of tens of thousands, not hundreds of thousands.
	It didn't implement it in 2015.
	It was seven years to implement that.
	They didn't do that.
	It turns out it was longer than that.
	We go back again.
	This is 2010?
	This is 2010.
	Alright, alright, okay.
	So we will take steps to take net migration back to levels of the 1990s.
	Tens of thousands, not hundreds of thousands.
	That's 12 years you had to implement a simple cap that failed.
	They keep just rephrasing the same promise and not doing it.
	You were elected.
	Each one of these manifestos, the only reason I'm showing you is because they actually won the election on these manifestos, and they just didn't do it.
	Thanks, guys.
	And if you go out of this, the tweet below that is actually, I've just put the Labour manifestos over the years.
	The Labour manifesto in 2010 is actually more right-wing than what we have now.
	Which is amazing.
	Control immigration through our Australian-style points-based system.
	That's what we implemented.
	The current Labour party thinks that's fascism.
	But they also say, ensuring that growth returns, we see rising levels of employment and wages, not rising immigration and requiring newcomers to earn citizenship and its entitlements it brings.
	That's a Labour that's saying we want to support domestic Labour.
	Yeah.
	Oh Christ!
	We understand people's concerns about immigration and whether it will undermine their wages, job prospects, or put pressure on public services or housing.
	Sounds like you, Kip.
	It is UKIP. It legit does.
	And we have acted.
	Asylum claims are now down to the levels of the early 1990s.
	Well, they're not anymore.
	And we will use our new Australian points-style system to ensure that the growth returns.
	We see rising employment, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	Not the unworkable Tory quota, as they call it.
	Which was never implemented.
	I mean, I guess they were right that it was unworkable, because they didn't even bother.
	Well, it was workable, they just didn't bother.
	But if you go back, you can also see the manifestos the Tories did lose on, and even there, it's just like, you can track the past, which is amazing.
	We have, what is it, 2005, where they say, yeah, we need to bring it down.
	And then before then, I just noticed that they never talk about migration, because it was never an issue.
	It wasn't a problem.
	No, it's a new thing.
	Anyway, sorry, complete sidetrack for a history lesson, but we'll go to Swindon's future, because it's where I live, so I'm biased.
	There you have it.
	We graphed this from the available data of people born in the UK. I like your choice of colour scheme here.
	Something happened in the 1990s.
	We have no idea.
	Something happened.
	The browning of Swindon.
	Well, it's got nothing to do with browning.
	It's got nothing to do with people's race.
	It's entirely to do with whether you're foreign-born, which, again, comes from every race.
	But we can see here just since 2021, that's where we are, and then tracking it to where it'll be less than 50% of people in Swindon are born in the UK, which would...
	It'd be weird.
	I mean, if you continue this graph, it's 50% in 2060.
	If you continue this graph, I think it's by 2080.
	Nobody in Swindon is born in the UK, which would be hilarious, to say the least.
	What a mad world.
	Everything is just Heathrow.
	I wouldn't even say that it's out of the realm of possibility if we carry on the way we are.
	No, it should be funny.
	If you go to the next one here, we can see we also left off a story of just local investigations.
	We called up the hotels, and they just hung up.
	As soon as I mentioned, can I ask you some questions?
	Very open.
	Why don't we just check in on those folks, because I'm still pissed.
	Callum's coming back for more.
	No, I'm still storming.
	He's ready for a rough and tumble is.
	We'll get to this one, because I noticed, because again, I have to walk past this place like four times a day.
	And get glared at by the migrants.
	These illegal aliens, I can see in the windows, these guys in this place, they got, what is that, two new pairs of shoes?
	That's at least two boxes.
	On the front, they've actually put up paper so you can't see into the hotel because they're very transparent.
	One of the guys mentioned that apparently they were there when that fell down and behind it was just a huge pile of shoes from Adidas, Nike, etc.
	Funny that.
	Interestingly enough, when we first moved to Swindon, my missus was working at a hotel that's on the outskirts of town, and they had an entire section of the hotel, which is a very fancy hotel, very classy, high-end hotel, that was just blocked off so that they could house all of the asylum seekers and migrants.
	And do you know what they did all day?
	Drink and cause trouble!
	I'm surprised.
	And then spend all, you know, ironically enough, well, unsurprisingly, they also spent a lot of money on shoes.
	The next one here is a quick question.
	How do you pay for that?
	Because you can't.
	Because if you're legally working within the system, which you've illegally already broken into, so I don't know why we'd expect you to follow the law.
	But if you were following the law, you're getting £40.85 per week, per person, to pay for your food and toiletries.
	And how much money are you saving a week to spend on new shoes?
	Not to mention, how much are you saving a week to spend on new bikes?
	Because if you go to the next one here, I was just walking past last night, I noticed that this hotel, these bikes aren't always there, but all of a sudden, all these bikes were there at the end of a Sunday.
	Eleven bikes.
	Also, Just Eat, coincidentally, isn't hiring any new people?
	I checked.
	Just looking at what the career options were like.
	What was the last time you ordered food and had an English person drop it off for you?
	Mine was a long time ago.
	Well, I lived in Amesbury.
	Also, I do think you're being a bit charitable to just assume that they're going out...
	Buying bikes?
	No, delivering food.
	Yeah, that's the other thing, which is, you know, best are just delivering food.
	Worst, yeah, there are other opportunities in Swindon, to say the least.
	Also, if you scroll down on this, we can see the only statement from the MP is that these people should be paying tax.
	I think you might know more than me, so I'd like to know more.
	Because if you complain that they're not paying tax, then you know they're all illegally working.
	They're all competing for British jobs, which they're not allowed to do legally, because they're meant to be claiming asylum.
	Remember?
	That war they're fleeing from, which, yeah, they totally are.
	Anyway, if we move forward, we can also just check out how many bike thefts there are just in the local area.
	11 over the last four months.
	Convenient number.
	Really interesting.
	It was three the same period a year ago in the area.
	That's in just a small area of Sweden as well.
	And just how many exactly bikes was it again?
	It was 11 bikes outside of the hotel, wasn't it?
	Yeah.
	Anyway, move forward, we'll go to the next one, because you might think, well, you know, you have to have proof of identity to work in the UK. Companies have to check it.
	Well, we have evidence that they're just faking it.
	So this is some Swindon account for the police, noting that, very sorry to whoever was ordering their food from a well-known food delivery app.
	Unfortunately, the driver had no license, no valid insurance, and a defective tire, was also wanted by immigration.
	Interesting, that's a guy who's driving a car, so he's doing very well for himself, someone who has...
	No right to be here, in the slightest.
	Also drives around with no license or insurance.
	So if he kills someone, too bad.
	If he breaks up your car, too bad.
	Oh, I love justice.
	Anyway, so there's that.
	And, well, these guys, who I suspect, if they're working, can probably also get around that check pretty quickly as well.
	And probably someone's organizing that for them.
	If we go to the next one as well, let's check in with the whole country, shall we?
	That's just where we are.
	We have the fact that 1 in 180 Albanians lives in the UK currently awaiting an asylum application.
	0.5% of all Albania living in England's hotels for free.
	There's a reason for this though.
	All Albanian men are gay.
	Really?
	It's a weird argument.
	We'll get the next one here.
	Okay, have we got practical evidence of this?
	Well, apparently they're all coming here because they're gay, and Albania, being a Muslim country, being gay is a sin.
	Yes, they're being persecuted for being gay, which is why 1-2%.
	They couldn't stop anywhere along the way.
	Where else could they go?
	I mean, France, which is a demonstrably gayer country than England, still kicked them out.
	Bosnia, still a lot of Muslims.
	Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, Germany, then to Belgium.
	Germany's definitely gayer than England.
	No, but it's also just like all Albanian men are gay, but also being gay is a sin in Albania.
	Like, reel me that.
	It wouldn't make any sense.
	Obviously, it's also just untrue.
	We've got the next one here.
	We have Saturday news about life, because life is not pretty.
	Teenage boy raped at a hotel housing refugees in London.
	Right.
	Another alleged sexual assault against a child is said to have taken place in the same facility in Waltham Forest.
	So there's two.
	In another incident, September, a 17-year-old boy was charged with one count of sexually touching a child at the age of 13.
	And if I remember correctly, who was it that Diane Abbott blamed this on?
	Tories made him rape.
	It was an amazing argument.
	But it's not the only place where this sort of thing is taking place.
	Question you've got to ask...
	What are these people claiming asylum from?
	Homophobic persecution, obviously.
	Justice.
	Like...
	Call me suspicious, but I think a rapist might be trying to run away from previous rapes he's committed.
	I think he might have a history of this, even if he's doing it...
	Just the fact that he's doing it so openly.
	I mean, a child rapist as well, so literally even worse.
	We go to the next one here.
	We can see some news.
	This is in Derbyshire.
	400 migrants staying at a hotel have been accused of mugging, sexual harassment...
	Of women and girls dealing drugs and defecating in a public park.
	So, the residents have set up a 24-hour security patrol to deal with that.
	Things are going well.
	At least the residents have tried to do something, I suppose.
	We've got the next one here.
	We have an interview from GB News who decided to go down and ask this chap somewhere in Berkshire.
	He has some very interesting things to say.
	Let's check in with someone who has to live the horrible, horrible life of such people.
	Let's play the first clip.
	You stay at that hotel?
	How is it?
	No.
	Why not?
	We're living in one room, two people.
	Okay.
	What's the room like?
	It's a small room.
	They've never been cleaning the room at all.
	No one's cleaning the room at all.
	We're just living like animals.
	Okay.
	And so, are you both sharing a bad?
	Yes.
	Then clean the room.
	I was going to say, you can clean the room.
	Also, one room between two people.
	I mean, you guys are living like animals.
	You expect, oh, we're packed in like sardines.
	20 people to a single bedroom room.
	No, two people.
	Me and another guy stay in a hotel room.
	We're living like animals because no one comes and cleans up after us.
	Sorry, mate.
	If you're an asylum seeker, I imagine you've probably experienced worse conditions on the way, right?
	No, no, no.
	You're the only people in that room.
	If you're living like animals, guess who's to blame?
	But you're the one who are making the place like an animal pigsty, if that's your complaint.
	I just can't get over.
	You would stand there and be like, no one comes and cleans up after me.
	What are you, a child?
	No, you're not.
	You may be claiming it on your asylum application, I don't know, but we'll see.
	We'll go to the next clip, in which he tells us about the horrible, horrible food he's given.
	What's the food like?
	We just survive.
	What kind of stuff do you eat?
	What we give, we just eat.
	We live about more than 45 people here.
	45 people?
	Yeah.
	So we just eat what we give us.
	All of them, we don't like food at all.
	You don't like the food?
	We don't like the food at all.
	What kind of food is it?
	It's some rice or chicken, morning time, cornflakes.
	What kind of food do you want?
	Well, food is a medicine.
	If you don't eat food like a medicine, the time you come eat medicine like a food.
	So diet is important for human beings.
	I'm just...
	What an ungrateful twat.
	I eat rice, chicken, and cornflakes, as the examples he gave us.
	And then when asked what he actually wants, he goes, uh, food, some medicine, uh, you need to be good diet.
	Means nothing.
	What's wrong with, like, chicken and rice are often parts of a good diet.
	When you hear about the UK in any foreign land, you know what they usually say is about how good our food is, how playful it is, how it's amazing anywhere in the...
	Yeah, he knew.
	The entire bloody world knows about our opinions.
	It's a meme.
	It's a global meme.
	I would at least hope that it would keep people away.
	Leave me and my stodgy food to myself.
	He's complaining about our preferences for food.
	If you want spicy foods, go back to wherever you came from.
	Well, he tells us where he's come from, which is not a war.
	Let's play the last clip.
	How long have you been staying there?
	I'm the whole England.
	I'm living eight years, the whole England.
	So you've been in England eight years?
	Eight years, yeah.
	And where are you from?
	I'm from Ethiopia.
	Ethiopia, okay.
	How did you get here?
	I come from Cali.
	You came across the channel?
	What was that like?
	I come here normally 2015.
	And so what...
	I don't know now what the situation look like.
	So, if you came in 2015, how come you're still staying in a hotel?
	And it's taken that long?
	Can I ask why you wanted to come to England?
	Well, I've been in one year, about two years in the military.
	In Ethiopia?
	Yes.
	And I ran out from the military, I come here.
	So, are you seeking asylum?
	Yeah.
	From what?
	Because I'm not safe if I go back home.
	Why?
	So why?
	Yeah, just explain why you're not safe.
	It's a war.
	I was fighting for the political groups in Ethiopia.
	So I'm wanted if I go over there.
	That's why I come here.
	He's lying.
	Well, yeah, I don't believe him.
	When he came here, there was no war in Ethiopia.
	There hadn't been for 15 years.
	He's just lying.
	So he did military service and then decided, I want a big piece of that British pie.
	Well, I might be wrong, but I believe there is national service in Ethiopia.
	So he presumably did his national service and then just decided he'd become a beggar.
	And he got to us, and we were stupid enough to take him in, because we're that dumb.
	He's like, oh yeah, foreign beggars, give them anything.
	Oh, poor baby.
	A beggar who was in the British Army, get over yourself, mate.
	That's just how our system works.
	And he's arguing, presumably, that there's a war there now.
	It wasn't when you came here.
	It wasn't for years before you came here.
	It wasn't for years after you came here.
	You just felt like it.
	Go to hell.
	Go to hell.
	Why are we taking military-age beggars?
	Sorry, people who have served in the military as well.
	And now he has the gall to complain about the fact that, oh, I've only got one room between two people.
	I get fed all this chicken and rice.
	Oh, it's just not good enough.
	I was fighting for political groups.
	Why am I not in the...
	Considering there was no war, what political groups were you fighting for?
	Are you telling us you were a terrorist?
	I don't know what else to make of that statement.
	There's no war, but you were fighting for some political group.
	Maybe he made some spicy jokes on Ethiopian Twitter.
	Who knows?
	I was fighting for Al-Qaeda, and then I have to leave.
	I voiced support for Elon Musk.
	I don't know, but none of that makes sense.
	None of your time frame makes sense if you fling any kind of war, so that's just you lying.
	Your English skills are good enough to tell the truth, and...
	No.
	That's what we're dealing with.
	Literal.
	I see people in the chat saying, Gibbs, ironically.
	There are plenty of beggars in the UK who are there for drug reasons or mental health, blah blah blah.
	You could help them.
	You could solve that if you were the government.
	And instead, you would just take foreign beggars because...
	Why?
	I would so much rather see our public money going to our own people.
	We have the next link here.
	We can see some more news, though, about how grateful these people are.
	Riot police were called into an immigration removal centre in Heathrow as detainees left their rooms and entered the courtyard armed with weapons such as knives during a power cut.
	Yeah, anyway, they could work in our NHS, I reckon.
	Just doctors and nurses.
	Yeah, it's really easy to destroy country.
	Literally, this is all you have to do.
	Go to the next one here.
	We have The Sun, who are breaking the story.
	Afghan migrant, sorry, illegal beggar, who moved to the UK after raping and murdering a girl 13 in Vienna to be extradited back to Austria.
	Where he is to be...
	So he raped and murdered a girl in Austria.
	Sorry, a child.
	And then went, well, I've got to claim asylum from the Austrian government by getting into England.
	And England went, poor baby, poor baby.
	Those Austrians, they might arrest him for rape and murder.
	Yeah, we know what those Austrians are capable of, lads.
	I don't know how you say it.
	Rusuli Zabud Abdullah is accused of killing Leon Wola, 13, after she was found wrapped in a roll of carpet that was spotted, dumped under a tree in the centre of the city in 2020.
	Wrapped up the corpse and dumped it in the centre of the city.
	He gained access to the country illegally.
	Oh, really?
	I'm shocked.
	Using a fake name to slip past immigration officials in Dover.
	Yeah, that's all it takes, literally.
	What's your name?
	Peter Griffin.
	Oh, come on in, Peter Griffin.
	Really?
	That's what the security checks consist of.
	What's your name?
	Well, you wouldn't lie.
	It's Intel Table.
	Yep.
	Cool guy, Intel.
	Before being put up by the government in an Ibis hotel in Whitechapel in East London.
	Fun fact, Whitechapel is where Jack the Ripper's from.
	Leon was reportedly raped and brutally attacked by four Afghan men before being left to die in a street in June 2016, 2020.
	So it's not just him, there were three other guys, all Afghans, who were fleeing...
	The Taliban?
	This presume?
	They were fleeing, what, being murdered and raped, perhaps?
	So they went and murdered and raped European children.
	The only logical response.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Right.
	And they have no reason to be in the UK. We'll go to the next one here.
	I just want to show you.
	What are these people doing?
	These are guys I met in Serbia.
	They are completely safe.
	If they're looking for safety, they've got it.
	They said to me they're safe, but they're not looking for safety.
	They're looking for money.
	They all said they either wanted to come to Germany, France, or Landan.
	And yeah, they're going to come and be our neighbours.
	And guess what?
	Well, I don't think they have the best of intentions, to say the least.
	And we can verify that just for the people you're letting in.
	And your security checks consist of...
	What's your name?
	That's it.
	Fantastic.
	What a beautiful system.
	It really is that easy to destroy a country, and the West is feeling it.
	Go to the video comments.
	I am a fan of reciprocity.
	If Albanians are trying to colonize Great Britain, well, Britain should start colonizing Albania like a more extreme Lord Miles.
	I mean, it looks quite nice.
	Yeah, well the Italians gave it a go.
	First thing we should do is recognise Kosovo as part of Serbia.
	Just small things like that.
	Unless you're actually going to deal with this problem, we're not going to support you in any way whatsoever.
	So, that's my recommendation.
	But yeah, colonising Albania?
	Not a terrible idea.
	Just colonise half the world again, why not?
	Yeah, they're doing it to us.
	Let's go to the next one.
	What I really hate about this migrant narrative is that by the end of the day, it is our own kindness and decency that is being used against us.
	Everyone in the West wants to be nice and want to do good and that is what is being exploited.
	Meanwhile, those coming in from the East clearly doesn't have the same consideration and yet we are being told that we are bad guys for literally being the nicest, most open human beings in human history.
	Anyway, here's Freya thinking she's a lap dog.
	Have a nice weekend, everybody!
	Thank you for the white pill with the dog there.
	I agree with what you're saying.
	Honestly, this is kind of why I'm going fully cultural relativist at this point.
	Our cultural standards are great, but they apply to us because experience has shown you can't just import people over in mass numbers and just expect them to adopt our cultural standards.
	I don't think it's nice.
	I hugely disagree with that.
	I think it's probably the most naive people in all of Earth's history who would think this is normal or good.
	You have to be unbelievably naive to think that this will just be fine.
	Well, yeah, that's part of why I'm saying the cultural relativism.
	We can be nice to each other and expect reciprocity there.
	If we're nice to these people, they take advantage of us, tell us that we're evil, and don't hold themselves to our standards anyway, so...
	But you have to think foreigners aren't human as well.
	You have to think they're basically angels.
	Yeah, that's the problem.
	Everyone knows, like, pick local ten beggars from wherever you live, and would you bring them into your house?
	Just tomorrow night, have them all then.
	No.
	No, you're not an idiot.
	But pick ten foreign beggars, and as a country, we're like, yeah, bring them in.
	What could go wrong?
	Security checks?
	What's your name?
	Abdullah.
	Oh, yeah, come on in.
	Not going to be bad, are you?
	No.
	Oh, even better.
	Well, he said no on the form.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, but he did kill a bunch of kids.
	Yeah, but he said no on the form.
	What could I have done?
	The computer said no.
	You could have just not let him in.
	Anyway, but, yeah, sorry.
	Just, I'm very blackpilled, but good to see you, Freya, and you.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Regarding your No Nut November segment yesterday on the 3rd of November, I take umbrage at the experts claiming that a month abstinence from masturbation will have a negative effect on your prostate health,
	chiefly because there is It sounds silly, but there is very good evidence that regular orgasm actually decreases the risk of prostate cancer over a lifetime.
	Alright, I don't know anything about it, other than there's a Bigfoot in the background with his video comment, which makes me scared.
	Did you see it?
	No, I didn't see the Bigfoot back there, actually, but we do have Tony D and Little Joan to tell us more about spooky happenings and going-ons.
	Tell us about the Red Sun.
	Tony D and Little Joan with another Lotus Eater white pill.
	From the Lotus Eater subreddit, JewelerNervous4325 sent me this link to a BBC article, Stolen Police Medal Found by Northampton Magnet Fishermen.
	This belonged to an 82-year-old former police officer who retired after 32 years at the age of 54.
	He never thought he'd see the medal again, and the fisherman found it and returned it to him.
	So Jeffrey Barron now has his medal back.
	Good on you, fisherman.
	That's wonderful.
	That's a lovely little story.
	Thank you for that, Tony.
	Do we have any more?
	We do.
	I have a bit of trivia for you all about China.
	There is currently four Chinas in the world, which are the People's Republic of China, which is mostly the mainland, the Republic of China, located in Taiwan, and the special administration regions of Hong Kong and Macau, both of which have their own governments.
	The latter two will be eventually absorbed into the mainland within a few decades, whilst Taiwan's position is uncertain.
	Yeah.
	Interesting.
	I really hope China just collapses again.
	Fingers crossed.
	Their economy's terrible.
	Yeah, I am actually quite stoked about their zero COVID policy.
	The fact that they've just destroyed the country and they're continuing to do it.
	Yeah, if they want to just keep destroying themselves, absolutely go for it.
	You know they've stopped exporting rice and fertiliser because of it.
	Really, have they?
	Like, their economy is really...
	I was gonna say, I bet that made up quite a lot of their main exports.
	Well, it doesn't make a lot of money in terms of the economy.
	Like, the cat they export makes the money.
	But it means that the rice market is just collapsing and the prices are going up, which means any country that is highly dependent on imports of food...
	It's really looking at, like, famine levels now, because not only did you have Ukraine go offline, and then Russia are taken offline by Western sanctions, and now the Chinese are offline.
	Bloody hell.
	Yeah, if you live in North Sudan, or anywhere like that...
	Please don't come here.
	Please don't come here.
	Go to China.
	I've heard they're very welcoming to outsiders.
	It's almost a certainty, and the thing is, for us in the West, that the impact on that is not only, yeah, food prices will go up, but we'll be able to afford food, not starve.
	That's the point.
	But that will almost certainly cause instability, huge increases in migration again, and we currently don't have a system of stopping people.
	We don't enforce our borders.
	We haven't for years.
	All we have to do is go back to doing it.
	It's not that hard.
	I'm happy to erect an electrified fence But all of this is going to get worse and worse.
	More of the public are going to get more and more woken up by it.
	Like, those fears from those Tory MPs that there'll be a party on migration, I really don't think it's unwarranted.
	No, I think it should be the number one issue that all political parties address.
	Because at the end of the day, it's the survival of our own civilisation.
	Petty political differences over taxes and all that sort of stuff can come after.
	Yep.
	They can all come after, but we're so...
	You have to have a civilization to argue about.
	Yeah.
	We're so bogged down in the weeds that it's just never going to get done.
	Like you say, you know, wake everybody up, but if there is instability that causes massive migration, oh, fantastic, right on the 11th hour, everybody wakes up just in time to notice that the country collapses.
	I'm not making an argument.
	I'm saying that's what's going...
	No, I know that you're not making an argument.
	I know that that's...
	It's just depressing to think about.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, springtime should be the peak of this year's lack of food, so look forward to it.
	Great.
	Anyway, on the written comments, so Baron von Vorhoek says, Truly they are scum.
	Yeah, I agree.
	I'm not sure if you'll cover it in this segment, but the exclusive club allegedly cost 15 grand under the table.
	They aren't just mad that you can join the club, they're ass mad that you can do it for a fraction of the cost.
	That's very true.
	Sophie Sev is so ironic because I do think women's rights are under more severe threats than ever, but it's not because the conservatives are abortion.
	This is the wrong segment.
	It's literally the trans agenda trying to erase the concept of women and would erase any women's rights.
	On top of the trans agenda, we have a Muslim agenda, which is not very women's right either.
	So yeah, basic women are under threat, just not from conservatives, the other guys, the others.
	Reference to your segment there.
	Kevin M says, in other news, Twitter checkmarks, and the other Twitter, find out Twitter has rules, and violating them gets you banned.
	I love the rules.
	Change also applies to these cretins.
	Yeah, I suppose I'll leave it there, because we're all on the same page, I think, which is, um, eh, deserve it.
	So, we'll go to the midterms.
	Yeah, you know, you get what you deserve.
	I'm glad that you didn't hear it either.
	Like I said, I know that a few people, I think Michael Knowles, Matt Walsh, Greg Price, a bunch of the people who were sharing it around, have probably listened to it.
	I refuse to.
	I don't think I could put myself through that.
	That would be traumatizing and genuinely awful.
	Colin P. The use of the phrase, our democracy, is a flag in the first place.
	Yeah, it's NPC lingo.
	It's just part of the daily service updates that they get.
	Captain Charlie the Beagle.
	It amazes me that ten years ago, a sec tape or OnlyFans would be seen as a scandal that would get you taken off the ticket.
	That's true, actually.
	Bill Clinton nowadays for the whole Monica Lewinsky scandal would be getting a celebration.
	See how sex positive Bill Clinton is.
	He just supports women's bodily autonomy.
	He supported the bodily autonomy of Monica Lewinsky to give him a handy under the table, you know?
	You don't have to imagine it, Cal.
	They would actually make that argument.
	They absolutely would.
	That's the ridiculous thing.
	But of course, the Dems managed to make out a scandal, something that's a good thing.
	I agree, they do need to present a united front.
	I think it would probably...
	It would probably be best to have Trump 2024, maybe with DeSantis, I don't know if you'd want him on there, so that DeSantis can later run off his own ticket, maybe in, I don't know, 2028 or something.
	You don't want DeSantis going against Trump.
	I think that would just be stupid.
	That would be Republican infighting that would not be useful for anyone.
	Rajchek was right.
	He says, pro tip!
	Anytime you're doing something you might regret being filmed, a sex tape for example, shout your own name in the next election year.
	That way you can...
	When you're finishing...
	Oh, that way you can just claim it was a campaign strategy to gather the independent vote.
	Any reporting on the subject is free campaign advertising.
	Oh yeah, that's a tax write-off then as well.
	Yeah, yeah, that's...
	It was a business expense.
	My sex was a business expense.
	Yeah, fair play.
	Baron Von Warhawks.
	Oh crap, that's actually a great idea.
	No, if you're self-employed, like, whatever you're doing, let's say you're tiling, or whatever, right?
	This does sound like the intro to a porn.
	So, tax year's coming, and you owe, I don't know, like...
	You need to replace your tiles, baby.
	Yeah, you film a porn video with your wife, and you film it, and you, I don't know, charge yourself whatever your profits are, so you don't pay any tax.
	Gee...
	All you have to do is expose yourself publicly online.
	You don't have to publish it, but the project went wrong.
	Oh yeah, yeah, there was some creative disagreement behind the scenes.
	It was an investment that was made.
	I wanted to do some things she just wasn't comfortable with.
	Yeah, the project didn't come out, we wanted it, so we didn't publish it, but we still spent all this money on it.
	That's not a bad idea.
	Wait, do you even have to produce it in that case?
	You can just say that you did?
	You've probably got to buy a camera or two, it doesn't look a bit...
	Well, yeah, but if you just own the cameras, it doesn't mean you actually have to film anything.
	You want some free cameras?
	You owe some tax?
	Yeah.
	There you go.
	Barron Von Wark says, From what I see, the Democrats are panicking about a massive loss in the midterms, but it's going to be very weird if they don't get the massive loss they expect.
	Personally, I believe a red wave when I see it.
	I smell fortification.
	As do I. Colin P. If the Republicans do win, they should keep the January 6th investigation and expand it to expose things such as exactly why it took so long for any prosecutions.
	Good point.
	X, Y, and Z. To your point about which ideology will the Anglosphere follow, we have to remember the outside influence of the media and the deep state.
	Yes.
	And one more from here.
	Sophie Peterson says this is a horror movie.
	You are describing a horror movie.
	Please stop.
	No, people need to know, sadly, because this is just how far...
	Broadcasters like NPR are willing to go.
	They start off saying that we want to expose journalistic truth and yada, yada, yada, and they end up broadcasting live abortions.
	So, just how it goes.
	Let's go on to your next comments.
	Someone's saying, what if the IRS demand the tape?
	It was lost in storage.
	That's a good point, actually.
	Imagine if you do it as just a joke and then all of a sudden you get a full release the tapes campaign against you.
	There was a flood of whatever.
	Yeah, the tapes were destroyed.
	It happens.
	I only had it on a hard drive and the hardware got destroyed.
	It's a terrible shame.
	We rented the hard drive.
	You do what the Russians did.
	Do you remember that?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Was it the Russians?
	I know.
	So the Qatari World Cup's coming up.
	The Qatari's got that by bribery, obviously.
	But the Russian bid was really funny.
	So they rented some computers, as you do.
	And filmed some stuff with Putin?
	No, no.
	They then ran their entire bribery campaign through the rented computers.
	That's where all the documents were.
	And then after the bidding was done and they lost, they sent all the rented computers back to the company...
	And the company had mysteriously destroyed all their computers.
	Oh, what a surprise!
	They just didn't, yeah.
	Shame.
	Oh, we just needed an upgrade, just need to get this old stock out of the way.
	Don't do that anymore.
	Anyway, Ewan Baker says, let the feminist refugees are welcome here.
	Go clean them.
	Oh, that's evil.
	Yeah, no, that's inviting some bad stuff.
	Let the male feminists do that.
	I'm not even that evil.
	No, I'm not evil.
	Callum Dayton says, I'd like to say my younger brother dropped out of Dundee University last year because he was having to share a small student apartment meant for one person with two other people, one bed, one sofa, and they had to take turns sleeping on the floor, and he was lucky enough to be gotten an apartment in the first place.
	He just had enough of things and dropped out.
	Yeah, there are much worse conditions than having to share a hotel room with another man.
	Yeah, and if it really is that bad, you know, you can just go home.
	Yes.
	There you go.
	If it's so bad, eight years in such monstrous conditions.
	Okay, go home.
	Only chicken and rice.
	The British, they don't even spice their chicken.
	I'm like, yes, I know.
	Just to keep you out.
	Gravy, that's all.
	Yes, now you're speaking my language.
	Callum Dayton.
	Freewell2112 says, Our nation is just not being destroyed, but humiliated by the people who should be protecting it.
	Whilst we are hosting thousands of people from around the world, tens of thousands, yeah.
	Forgetting.
	Actually, I think it's up to 100,000 now.
	I think it is 250,000, I don't remember it.
	What, current asylum seekers currently in the system?
	In aggregate, yeah.
	That includes Ukraine and Hong Kong, which are the ones you actually want.
	Sorry, what was it?
	Having to ask taxpayers to pay for it all if they want to pay for this.
	Now there is talk that they ought to be paying poorer nations reparations for our part in causing global warming.
	I wonder if China will be paying those reparations too.
	I suspect not.
	Meanwhile, former politicians are about to star in I'm a celebrity cabinet minister twat, get me out of here, eat my testicles.
	I tried to read that sentence.
	I'm a former cabinet minister celebrity twat, comma, eat my testicles.
	Anyway.
	Yeah, yeah, it's funny.
	This is why large corporations want mass migration.
	Yeah, this is the thing.
	Look at the effects.
	Regardless of what the purposes were, the ideological motives, these things are not unimportant, sure.
	But what is more important are the effects.
	Who's benefiting from this?
	The people benefiting from this are the people running those hotels, and presumably now the companies are hiring these people.
	And there's that organisation, Serco, who's arranged all of the hotel stuff there, making a killing off of it.
	What was it, £2 billion got a contract?
	Left-wing politicians who want the votes.
	The only people losing from this are the people who live here.
	We're the ones being screwed over.
	Well, sadly, the Tories, you know, aren't losing from this either because people will just vote for them anyway.
	Although it seems that a lot of Tory voters are looking to just abstain from voting in the future.
	And we've looked at the figures.
	Kevin Fox also just...
	Do we have to?
	I really don't want to, actually.
	I say it again.
	If masturbation can reduce your chances of dying of prostate cancer, I am immortal!
	Enjoying your time in Thailand, Kevin?
	Anyway, we're out of time.
	If you'd like more from us, losdays.com.
	Otherwise, we'll be back tomorrow at 1 o'clock.
