Time Text
Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters, episode 876 on today, Thursday the 21st of March 2024.
Nailed the date!
Standards round here.
I am your host Connor, joined by Josh and Harry.
Hello!
Hi!
We were making pagan jokes right before we came on air and this is where we're at.
Fred Durst's Pagan Fridays.
It's Thursday!
Well, yeah, who knows?
It's Thursday!
How could you, Harry?
He doesn't know what day it is.
No, no.
To the audience, they're going to have no idea what we're on about.
Hello, Loisies, out of context.
Anyway, today we're discussing the Joe Rogan Killer, a point of view you are in the UK, and South America's Caesar, which I really wish we had.
Before we jump into today's news, just a reminder, Calvin will be hosting Common Sense Crusade.
He's back today from three o'clock, so if you aren't subscribed already, £5 a month, go join that.
And if you subscribe at £30, you can send him video comments in future Oh, this is just going to be a little thing that I'm going to do to annoy all of the people who are kind enough to have tuned in to the podcast on the website.
I noticed right before we came on that I shaved this morning before I came into work and I missed just a tiny strip right there on my sideburn.
You've got one sideburn, yeah.
I've got two sideburns, but I missed a tiny little bit there.
So I kind of have a streak coming out of it.
A bit melee today.
It's a bit of a knife.
Like David Tennant in the first season of Doctor Who that he shows up in.
Just those giant mutton chops.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
That was a good look, though.
You need some mutton chops, actually.
Audience, petition Harry to get mutton chops.
But that's just for anybody who notices.
That'll annoy you throughout the podcast.
I'm sure our audio listeners really appreciate that one, Harry.
Well, I mean, it'll give them an excuse to actually look at their bloody phones, won't it?
We don't want that.
Anyway, sorry, Josh.
You had a segment planned, didn't you?
Did I?
Oh, that's nasty.
No, I don't.
Also, Josh had a haircut.
I did, yeah.
I don't like it, by the way.
Bully Josh in the comments.
Well, I don't like it either.
I think it looks fine.
Thank you.
And I'm never normally kind to you on the podcast.
Or in general.
Don't we have news to do?
Yes, sorry.
We do actually have a job to do today.
And there's this fellow who makes podcasts.
You might have heard of him called Joe Rogan.
He's one of the most listened to podcasters.
I'm sure pretty much everyone is familiar with him at this point.
And on the 1st of February, he did a podcast with Josh Dubin and Sheldon Johnson.
And the significance of this is that they were talking about Sheldon Johnson's time in prison.
He was sentenced to 50 years in prison.
I don't think he served the full time for two robberies, I think it was.
But they claim that the prison and justice system are racist against minorities.
You know, this is the same sort of thing that we've heard millions of times before.
That's not the interesting part.
It's also worth mentioning as well that they even acknowledged that it was a black judge that gave him the sentence and he had a black lawyer.
Was it Larry Elder?
No.
Wig and robe, by any chance?
Well, I don't know about that, but the fact that they're claiming, ah, the justice system is racist also, You know, most people involved in the case were black.
So, Chloe, there's some sort of internalized racism here going on.
Was it not also including the original victims were black?
I don't know.
There wasn't any information released and they didn't touch on it really.
It's not relevant to the story, so I didn't look into it, but I feel bad for the victims, obviously.
He also mentions in his podcast a few questionable things, like he says, my son got into a fight with a Chinese guy and he ran into traffic and died.
Actually, his son randomly assaulted a Chinese student, 24 year old student, and he was so scared of getting attacked because he's getting pummeled for no reason.
He tried to escape him and moved into incoming traffic.
So his son directly I think his son from the clip that I've seen sounds like he also took far more responsibility for his actions than Sheldon Johnson does throughout the interview.
Chinese guy ran into traffic and died.
Was his son a prosecutor for manslaughter?
I think he did go to prison.
I think his son from the clip that I've seen sounds like he also took far more responsibility for his actions than Sheldon Johnson does throughout the interview.
Now, I've actually watched recently a video by actual Justice Warrior who covered a little bit of this.
I like Sean.
Yeah, Sean's great.
And one of the clips that he played from this was remarkable.
It was Sheldon Johnson saying...
Outright, very clearly, I'm out of prison and I'm going to try and do good.
I said to the people who gave me parole, I can get out and I can try and do good.
Don't spoil what happens.
Alright, do you want me to save that quote for later?
I have no idea what's happening.
Whatever he says in this is fine.
He finished off by saying, you know, give me a chance to do good.
I'll try and do good.
But if that doesn't work, I can go back to doing bad.
But give me that chance.
So he outright says, yeah, if it turns out that this doesn't really work for me, I'm going to go back to being a criminal.
But let's look at the other guy as well.
As we talked briefly about Sheldon Johnson, the sort of main focus of the podcast, Josh Dubin is a lawyer.
I think he has his own consulting firm.
I think there's a thingamabob here where you can see him.
Oh, I've clicked on the wrong thing.
But nevermind, it's literally got its name in it, so you can't really go wrong.
He's got a law consulting firm, but also he's involved in other things as well.
He is the executive director of this institute, and I'm gonna read a little bit about what it does, because this is very interesting in the context of what went on to happen.
So it says the Perlmutter Center for Legal Justice at Cardozo Law trains students and lawyers in the proper use of scientific evidence focusing on the misuse of junk science in contributing to wrongful convictions and you know I do support people reversing wrongful convictions if they can prove that they were definitively innocent, right?
That's actually a noble aim.
So I'm not criticising that if it's done correctly.
And it says, in addition, the centre seeks justice for the individuals incarcerated with excessive sentences through parole work and clemency requests.
Excessive according to who?
Well, this is where it starts to get interesting.
Because of course this is where Doobin's relationship with Johnson comes in because he got given a 50 year sentence and he seems to think that that is excessive.
It carries on to say, the Perlmutter Center was established through a 15 million philanthropic donation from the Laura and Isaac Perlmutter Foundation.
Isaac Ike Perlmutter is the chairman of Marvel Entertainment.
The Funko Pop Brigade, back again!
So, yes, you know, the chairman of Marvel Entertainment is putting money to bail out potential people who are guilty and reducing the sentences of guilty criminals, right?
As well as, of course, there are people who are innocent, so it's not potentially all bad.
So, if you are paying money to go and see Marvel, such as sadly we did when we went to go see Black Panther 2, sorry to remind you of that traumatic experience, you are potentially putting money directly into this gentleman's pocket so that he can attempt to get, more likely than not, guilty criminals off of sentences.
This explains why they sympathize with Killmonger more than... Well, yeah, I suppose so.
Black Panther.
So one of the most important here is this, the Innocence Project.
So it says, the Innocence Project works to free the innocent, prevent wrongful convictions and create fair, compassionate and equitable, focus on that word, systems of justice for everyone.
Well, it's not for the victims, is it really?
Our work is guided by science and grounded in anti-racism.
And there it is.
Right.
So they presume innocence on behalf of black people.
Because they think that the crimes they committed are somehow excused by some nebulous force of racism somewhere located in the civilization.
And so they think that any harsh sentence given for a black person's crime, if they are actually guilty, should be reduced because of mitigating circumstances.
Yes.
I think that's a fair assessment.
It was society's fault.
It was white supremacy's fault that Sheldon Johnson joined the Bloods.
Yes.
And became one of their top rankings.
Here are a bunch of the people that they've exonerated.
And of course, exonerations means that they've found them to be innocent.
And there are a large number of African Americans here, but it's not just African Americans.
There are... Brandon Moon.
Yes.
Yes.
There's one white man there.
There are a few here, but basically there's a long list of, it goes all the way up to seven pages, so they've done a decent amount of work.
This is just to show the scale of what they do.
I don't doubt that some of them were genuinely innocent.
Yeah, if these are all wrongful convictions, fantastic, well done.
But I'm very suspicious given by their mission statement.
Yes, and they don't also purely work for exonerations, they also work on behalf of reducing sentences.
Exactly, yeah.
And so, I wanted to move back to Sheldon Johnson again, and here, this is a profile of him writing in his own words.
So I'm going to hear what he has to say about himself.
Before we move on to what happened after Joe Rogan's podcast.
So Sheldon Preston was born in May 6, 1975 at Mount Sinai Hospital.
His mother was from Italy and his father an African Native American, which is an unusual combination.
Both his parents were deaf-mutes.
They cannot hear or talk.
Sheldon grew up on 112th Street and 5th Avenue right Um, on the border dividing east and west sides of Harlem.
He admits growing up angry and confused he was ridiculed by his peers because his mother is white and his parents are handicapped.
As a child Sheldon believed he was adopted and did stupid things to be accepted by his peers but mostly to be heard by a mother who couldn't hear him.
Interesting turn of phrase there.
A little bit, yeah, a little bit cliche.
Also, just the interesting admission that anti-white race hatred does exist, but carry on.
And it goes on to say, most of his adolescence was spent in some institution or another.
In 1997, he was arrested.
He rejected a plea offer and proceeded to trial based upon inaccurate sentencing information provided by his attorney.
After the trial he was sentenced to 50 years for two robberies.
Sheldon voices that he had choices, choices that were clouded by rage, hate, alcohol, fear, drugs, twisted and misplaced ideologies.
Sadly it took the reality of a civil death sentence to have an epiphany that he must change.
He blames no one and accepts responsibility for the ignorance he perpetuates.
They skipped straight over the criminal offence there.
Zero details.
I mean, if he was truly sorry for it.
He was a drug dealer who threatened people who owed him money with a gun.
I think he pistol whipped one of them.
He pistol whipped a guy in the head and in the actual podcast, Doobin says, oh, it only required two stitches.
And he keeps on emphasizing this two stitches thing.
Doesn't go into details about the fact that he was a drug dealer and he was going around shaking down people.
A high-ranking member of the Bloods.
Yeah, the guy who he hit with his gun was there with his girlfriend, and I think he took them unawares, and he was there pointing at the gun.
And he had a big crew with him as well.
At the same time, and if you listen to the way that he describes the situation, he makes it sound as though it was some abstract forces just happened to injure these people.
He's saying things like, oh, you know, I was there with... and he owed me money.
I said, give me the money.
He didn't have the money.
So, you know, what happened, happened.
No, not what happened, happened.
I mean, for one, if you're a drug dealer, why are you lending stuff out and relying on trust?
That's poor drug dealing, generally speaking.
But two, you didn't have to hit someone over the head with your pistol.
That was your choice entirely.
I think people listening to the podcast and Joe himself, and Joe should know better, because Joe's a combat athlete.
He should know how dangerous any sort of physical confrontation was.
Lots of people think that, oh, you get pistol whipped, it's like it happens in some gangster movies where it just happens and someone flinks the head and they go, ow!
Yeah, you get knocked out like a Batman villain.
Yeah, no, pistol whipping is incredibly dangerous.
Anything that's a large, heavy metal object in your hand that you smack someone over the skull with has the potential to seriously injure, debilitate, or kill them.
Well, so, in the UFC, if your opponent is grounded with both gloves or his bum or both knees on the floor, you can't knee him in the face.
Because even if you don't get them in the skull, it can still cause severe brain issues, because you can rattle the brain against the skull.
So, even if this guy's just saying, oh, it's just two stitches, it's like, Joe, I haven't listened to the podcast, but Joe should have known.
Hang on, if you hit someone over the head with a heavy metallic object, the stitches alone don't always communicate the extent of the damage.
This guy may have long-term damage from this.
Well, the sad thing is the clips that Sean played were showing that Joe just went along with everything this guy was saying.
He did, yeah.
And I think when I first started watching it, I thought, oh, maybe he's being charitable and then eventually he's going to push back.
And it just seemed like he didn't.
Yeah, he went along and started to agree with him about the ideas of systemic racism.
Yeah, it's a bit ridiculous really.
I thought he would know better and I was a little bit disappointed but I think it's fair to say why he got his sentence right.
He's a gang-affiliated drug dealer who's shaking people down for money with a weapon and assaulting people There's probably a certain element of setting an example to other criminals as well in a case like this where this guy still, even in the interview, showed no real remorse for his actions, only for the consequences of his actions.
So the judge uh from the quote that sean used basically said that you're a menace to society and it's better to have you off the streets and we need to set examples for other people like you i think that someone who's that um embedded in the criminal underworld to the point where they're in and out of institutions their entire livelihood is dependent on crime well there are questions of whether that person can ever be reformed and i'm not sure what's going on in the world
I would say that there are people that are beyond saving that you shouldn't extend an olive branch to because they've proven that they can't be trusted.
I think this sort of thing is exactly The kind of thing.
I may pick up on one thing as well.
It says here, in April of 2012, Sheldon was applauded by the Albany Times Union for his lead in Macbeth.
The irony of a man stinking fame and acclaim and willing to kill and lie his way to get there and Sheldon plays him.
I've also just noticed the little headline it's highlighting down there as well.
I knew that his son had killed someone, manslaughter, by driving him into, well, assaulting him.
The guy runs into traffic, gets hit.
I didn't realize his son was 14 years old at the time.
Yeah, it changes it, doesn't it?
He was 14 years old.
I think the guy he attacked was 24.
Wasn't he an Asian guy?
He was, yeah.
Yeah, that's been known to happen in the States, hasn't it, that way round.
But yes, if someone like this, say, who's a career criminal, I think it's fair to say, and someone helps them to get out of prison early because they think that they're reformed, and then they go on to commit a crime, would you say that that person who helped get them out of prison is in some way morally culpable for... Not just morally, you should be held criminally culpable.
And it's my position.
But Josh, have you considered we found this nice picture of him smiling?
That is true.
All charges need to be dropped immediately.
However... Oh, I have done something.
What have I done?
It's alright, you just pressed video.
Oh, I'm just stupid.
There we go!
Good thing stupidity's not a crime, otherwise I'd be in prison, but... Not yet.
Here is the headline, the important reason why I'm mentioning this at all.
Ex-con turned New York criminal justice activist busted after head of prison rival found in freezer of apartment he was seen leaving in blonde wig.
I shouldn't laugh, but leaving in blonde wig?
That's some Scooby Doo stuff right there.
Everyone knows that there are many black guys with long blonde hair, right?
I'm just imagining the police arresting him.
Hold up, it was Sheldon Jones?
This was a month after his Joe Rogan appearance and he had a head of a man in a freezer.
A head of a prison rival as well.
It could well have been in his freezer when he went and did the podcast.
Potentially, yes.
I'm not entirely sure of how it lines up.
Well, if you know, if doing good doesn't work out for me, I can always go back to doing bad.
He literally said that in the interview, and Joe brushes over it.
Presumably his Innocence Project, Pearl Motor Center handler, that other guy who was there.
Josh Dubin, yeah.
Yeah, Dubin just sort of like brushes past it as well.
Maybe one of them should have spoken up and said, what does that mean?
Sorry, did you just say that if society doesn't work for you, then you might just go back to being a criminal?
Is that what you just said?
As friend of the show Count Dankula would say, in the business, we call this foreshadowing.
But yes, I think that the people funding, reducing the sentences of people like Sheldon Johnson are responsible.
We need names, right?
We need to know who these people are, because they are releasing murderers onto the streets of America Seemingly prematurely and seemingly without significant checks on whether they truly are reformed.
Obviously they're not.
I don't think he could have been.
I think he should have rotted in prison without cutting off another person's head, even if they were a prison rival.
It's bizarre.
But let's have a look at what actually happened with this head-severing incident, shall we?
It says Sheldon Johnson, a 48-year-old staffer for the public law firm Queen's Defenders, was led out on the 44th Precinct Station House in handcuffs Thursday after police made the grisly discovery.
A human torso in a blue bin and a head stashed in a freezer in the sixth floor apartment, police said.
Johnson... Look at that evil white supremacist on the right, right there.
Looks like he's been employed by the Chinese state to sanitize the streets.
He looks like he's in a Scooby-Doo ghost costume.
He actually does!
They ripped the white wig off.
Wait a minute.
It was you the whole time!
It was Old Man Johnson!
I'm laughing about a man cutting another man's head off.
I know, I know.
Says Johnson, an ex-con who turned his life around, I don't know about that, and became a well-known victims advocate, was featured in the Joe Rogan podcast and rubbed elbows with VIPs like Manhattan's District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
That's a bit... Oh yeah, Alvin Bragg, notorious for campaigning to indict Trump.
Yeah, fantastic judge of character, clearly.
Yeah, it's very embarrassing for him, I imagine.
Sources said the victim in the week's slaying, identified as a 44-year-old Colin Small, may have had beef with Johnson while both doing time at Sing Sing Prison in Westchester County.
Small Johnson?!
With me?!
This whole story's absurd!
Yeah, also Sing Sing Prison.
It's like it's a nursery rhyme or something.
So Small Johnson got some beef in prison.
In Sing Sing Prison.
Neighbours told cops the victim was heard desperately pleading with a killer shortly before two shots rang out in the apartment near Ogden Avenue, West and 162nd Street shortly after 8pm on Tuesday.
Um, the neighbors said, please don't.
The doomed man was heard saying, I have a family.
Investigators were first called to the building for a wellness check after the shots were heard and neighbors reported seeing a stranger come in and going from the apartment with cleaning supplies.
The building superintendent said he also had, um, if yeah, there he is.
If you scroll and show some pictures of him.
Did he have the plastic nose and glasses on?
I don't know, but he's got a weird, he's got like a, a very strange flat hat going on there.
But also a very noticeable... There it is!
Oh, super genius right there.
He looks like Snoop Dogg in drag there as well.
I can't... He does a little bit.
I love the fact that he was trying to be all subtle about it to the point where he was going in wearing some kind of glasses to try and hide his identity, but went in wearing what looked like a quite conspicuous purple jacket suit as well.
By the way, the guy who was murdered was called Colin Small, it wasn't Small Johnson.
Well, no, it's the surnames.
I vote that we dub this the Small Johnson incident.
Your terms are acceptable.
Sorry, you shouldn't be laughing, this is very serious.
I know, we've got to joke about it otherwise we'll cry, right?
So Charlie Kirk pointed out, oh, it's alright, I'm sabotaging the podcast here, sorry.
Here we are, I'm just going to do it like that.
So, you've already heard, this is Charlie Kirk, basically making the points that I would have made, but he beat me to it, so I'm going to credit him.
You've already heard about Sheldon Johnson, the criminal justice advocate who appeared on Joe Rogan last month, who was just arrested for murdering a man and dismembering his corpse.
He says, on Rogan's podcast, Innocence Project lawyer Josh Dubin called Sheldon a miracle and complained that he was sentenced to prison for 25 years, that's how much time he served I think, for two stitches.
In reality, Sheldon was an experienced drug dealer with a prior conviction who pistol whipped someone during an armed robbery, an attack that, contrary to the motives, can easily kill or seriously maim a person.
And he also pulls up the same thing that I noticed, and I didn't even know about the actual details of his son's case.
I just thought the way he framed that death was really cold and uncaring.
And he says, Johnson said his son got into a fight with a Chinese guy who tragically died.
In reality, his son viciously attacked a random Columbia grad student, punched him in the face and chased him into the street where a car killed him.
Despite committing murder, his son served less than two years in juvie.
A police officer testified he showed no remorse for the killing.
Two years.
The next bit as well.
Johnson's father, meanwhile, raped a seven-year-old three times, blaming the fact his wife wouldn't have sex with him due to his drug habit.
So his father... A judge gave him five years of probation.
So there's the justice system at work.
Yeah, well... All these people should be hanged.
Yeah, the ridiculousness of saying, oh, well, the justice system is racist against black people.
Well, his son murdered someone and did two years.
His father is a paedophile rapist and did No jail time.
And he seems to be a complete psychopath with no remorse.
Yeah, I wonder how this happened.
It's almost like the prison system, imprisoning these people and letting them out, doesn't work.
That they can't be reformed.
And I think it's pretty self-evident here that they can't.
There's also something else that you can take from this, which seems that some pretty bad behavior runs in this family.
Yes, I think that's safe to say.
Take whatever implication from that you'd like.
So I would like to talk a little bit more about the Innocence Project before I wrap up.
And they have been accused in the past of actually profiteering off of exonerating people, that it's seemingly making them money.
And this is a long story, which I've kind of already gone over time, so I won't go into the details of.
They more or less said that, okay, we're going to do this for charity, and then they're actually claiming money for it.
Like many charities, most of the money goes on salaries.
Yes.
And finally, just to add salt to the wound here, they tried to advocate for releasing one black guy, and they wanted to do a bait and switch with another black guy who turned out to be innocent.
They essentially got a guilty guy who actually did the crime out of prison because they thought he was innocent and then got a person who they clearly didn't care about to do 15 years in prison because of their activism.
So yes, if they actually genuinely cared about getting innocent black people out of prison, why are they doing things that get innocent black people in prison?
It seems kind of counterintuitive to my mind.
It almost seems like there's a certain profit motive here and they don't actually care about what they seemingly care about.
That seems like some awfully white supremacist standards that you're holding them to, Josh.
That's right, yeah.
Why shouldn't they?
Why shouldn't they profiteer off of, you know, criminality?
Random, innocent black people.
Yeah.
But my point being here that, yes, these people trying to release prisoners are actively responsible for the actions that they commit when they are released.
And here we have a fantastic case of within a month of him talking about how he was persecuted by the justice system, he went on to cut off someone's head.
It can't get much clearer than that, really, can it?
Fantastic.
I'm just going to switch my Elgato bit.
Jack, if you go back to the tabs, right, that should now hopefully work.
Is it going to?
We're going to do a quick test.
I think I know how to fix this.
Yay!
It works!
No, no!
No, no, it works!
If I double tap the red button, it'll come back on the Elgato.
We've done it.
We've done it.
It's all right.
It's all good.
It's all good.
We are not stupid over here at the Lotus Caesars.
Please keep playing us.
Right!
Point of view!
You are in England.
Doesn't look a whole lot like England these days, does it?
But I assure you, you are in the UK.
I just have to inform you, we do have a new state religion.
Exhibit A. A King's Cross station, this was two days ago, decided to put up a hadith on their train notice board.
So the hadith, for our audio listeners in the holy month of Ramadan, Inshallah, it says, Fajr, Maghrib, hadith of the day, the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said, all the sons of Adam are sinners, but the best of sinners are those who repent often.
It's a message of Islamic conversion.
plastered on train notice board in one of the busiest stations of London.
Really appreciate that.
Now, if you feel a bit out of sorts, because you'd expect something else from arriving in the UK, if you just got off your plane and got your train into London, don't worry, we have an ambient representation of how it is to live in London these days.
Thanks to kindly drug pub, right?
We are sorry that the 1441 American train service to North West Central is delayed by approximately 15 minutes.
This is due to a wartime bomb near the railway.
Sorry, if anyone stood around in a...
Did you say that this is due to a bomb found on the railway?
Is that what I heard?
If it wasn't, my ears just filled that in.
Either way, I'm glad that part of the ambience noise is a train being delayed.
If anyone has ever stood in a train station in London, particularly London Paddington, you will be surrounded by random babble as if you are in the rubble of the Tower of Babel.
Milling about?
Milling about train stations, yes.
People shouting into a phone on speakerphone, or having their FaceTime like that for some reason, and speaking as if they're a Greedo from Star Wars, and then Now, constant delays because the overhead lines are down, because there's a bit of rain, or because, I don't know, we've had some diverse activity near one of the railways.
Anyway, so the reason that some of this sort of stuff is happening is, of course, because of the immigration issue.
This is the reason they're trying to appease the new arrivals who don't quite like to integrate with what used to exist in the UK, but now are flexing their cultural supremacy.
So GB News decided to say to Network Rail, Oh, that's interesting.
Are you guys going to do anything for other festivals?
For example, Lent, you know, that thing that's currently going on for the state church, which is the Anglican Church, and all the other Christians, like me, Catholic, in the country.
A Network Rail spokesperson said to GB News, We value the feedback of our passengers, and while these messages were intended to celebrate the beliefs and backgrounds of some of our colleagues and passengers, we have removed them.
But for recent years, King's Cross has celebrated significant religious and secular events from all cultures, including Easter, Diwali, Passover, Ramadan, and Remembrance Day.
However, we will now review how occasions can be marked in the future.
Some of those are actually important and native to Britain.
For example, Remembrance Day honours the sacrifices of those who died in the First and Second World Wars.
Easter is the resurrection of Jesus Christ, as marked by the National Church.
Diwali?
Only celebrated by our Hindu Prime Minister.
Passover?
By Jewish citizens.
But that's not the national religion.
But it's obvious that there is a new national religion, and it's being celebrated on behalf of people who, if they don't feel assimilated, or at least celebrated, might get a bit violent and a bit stabby.
Hmm.
Now, we do have other commentators coming out and saying, well, this was a bit absurd.
I mean, like Rakib Hassan, he's a British Muslim, and he even said, look, I'd welcome Christian messages over the course of Easter at King's Cross.
A reinvigoration of mainstream Christian devotion would serve modern Britain well.
Then in the comments, Rakib goes and responds to someone saying that, oh, would you do this for Hindu, Sikhs and Jewish messages?
And he goes, 100% Buddhist as well.
No.
I'm not going to forget your policy exchange ideas, Rakib, of putting Afghanis into the homes of British people.
Yeah, that wasn't a very sensible thing to do.
Yeah, it's almost like this has consequences.
What I think Rakib wants to do, per his CapEx article as well that you wrote on this, is extinguish the pride flag from public life, and he thinks a unified front from religious organisations who are Pro-family and pro-faith will send weird, degenerate ideologies into remission.
The problem is, these faiths have contradictory principles.
People from Islamic countries are not known for doing weird and degenerate things, are they?
No, no, certainly not.
It's not like one of the leading Islamic countries, Iran, has one of the highest rates of transgenderism as a punishment for homosexuality.
Are they for rail travel, though?
Because, I mean, if...
Josh, getting down to brass tacks.
If they make the trains run on time, all I'm saying is that, you know, maybe we're wrong about Islam.
The number of delayed trains I've had, I'll convert in a heartbeat.
Let us know in the comments below how the trains run in Islamic countries where they have trains.
Well, I have seen reliably that they are always full in India.
They take over quite a lot.
Yeah, yeah, quite, quite, quite.
Anyway, so look, just because demographic change has occurred doesn't mean that we should be immediately culturally accommodating.
I think that we should actually assert Britishness and Christianity as the supreme culture because it's what predated these new arrivals and it's why they came here in the first place.
I don't think being dragged down to the lowest common denominator of the third world is a good thing to do and it's not particularly pleasant to live around.
Unfortunately our institutions don't think so and so we end up just on the baseline cultural level with circumstances like this.
Karl played this yesterday with Ed Dutton but here's a gentleman just Sitting in his lunch room, eating some pasta, and all of his Islamic colleagues are standing around going, look at this kuffar eating during Ramadan.
And they intimidate him into putting his lunch away.
Well, all of a sudden I've got a craving for a bacon sandwich, and I'm going to eat it outside of a mosque.
I'm pretty sure that's a hate crime, so I'm not going to do that.
Yeah, in Minecraft, hypothetically, Josh wouldn't do that.
Also, given what Josh has just said, don't do that if you're watching and you've got the idea.
I would say that Even if there was an argument that Lyon actually did go up from importing these sorts of people in, it's not worth it.
It's not worth it for this kind of abuse and intimidation that somebody like this rather normal-looking gentleman is getting simply for eating during a foreign holiday, which he doesn't follow.
Well, they've come into our country and they're trying to dictate terms to us.
As far as I'm concerned, that's...
The best grounds for deportation I can possibly think of.
It's like, yeah, you come to Britain as a guest and you try and tell us how to conduct ourselves.
No, I don't think so, actually.
That's very sensible policy, Josh.
Good job you're not running for reform.
You're actively hostile, and this is ethnic and religious bullying.
If we were applying standards equally, Of course, this would fall under the Equality Act, but we're not going to because it's not about equality or hypocrisy, it's always about hierarchy.
And unfortunately, the new state religion, which is Islam, has the whip hand in this circumstance, and so this polite gentleman who is actually being unilaterally accommodating to his peers, bullying, is the one who is oppressed in this circumstance.
But nobody's going to stand up for him.
Instead, we're going to stand up for all the cultural enrichment that we're going to get soon.
And this came across my timeline yesterday, A migrant was stabbed on a small boat while trying to cross the English Channel.
Now, there is a BBC article here, if we can just pull it up.
I'm just going to highlight it in the document.
Because the BBC reported this as, Man treated for stab wounds after boat arrival.
It's a man who was stabbed at some indeterminate point while crossing the channel.
That's really subversive isn't it?
That's unbelievable for the BBC.
A migrant was stabbed on a migrant boat and you know that well it destroys the narrative that they're coming here for safety doesn't it?
Because they're stabbing each other before they even get here.
He may have been stabbed in his country of origin and just staggered all the way across Europe clutching his guts, boarded the boat, arrived in Dover and Loved our NHS so much that he just wanted to be inducted into it because the BBC is going to provide details.
Oh, no, they don't.
Is that really how long the article is?
The article for audio listeners.
A man has been taken to hospital with stab wounds following the arrival of a small boat in Dover.
Kent police said it was called just after 12.50 GMT to Dover Weston docks after the vessel arrived.
The man's injuries were not described as life-threatening.
The Kent force said it was carrying out inquiries to establish where, when and how his injuries were sustained.
No details on who it was.
We don't even know from this article if the man was in the boat.
It could have just been that a migrant boarded the shores and decided to stab someone.
Maybe they didn't pay off the RNLI enough.
Who knows?
It's almost like you've pre-saged the taxi service that picked them up.
The migrant that was stabbed on a small boat here, as GB News have the information, because GB News actually filmed them as they were coming in.
The UK authorities, including a border force vessel and two lifeboats, attended the incident just before lunchtime.
The dinghy was one of eight small boats that reached the UK waters on the busiest day of channel crossing so far this year.
They're getting very bold.
Great.
TV News' Kent producer filmed as an ambulance arrived at the harbour to meet the lifeboat.
A short time later, that ambulance left the hospital under blue lights, but there was no word yet on how seriously the injured migrant is.
So it was the migrant, and it seems that he was injured, aboard the boat.
How interesting.
The remaining group of more than 60 migrants from the boat at the centre of the incident were taken on board the Dover lifeboat.
At Dover harbour, police officers were seen at the quayside checking migrants as they came off the lifeboat.
The migrants were then taken to the nearby Border Force migrant processing facility for further checks.
Border force processing.
Oh, it's alright lads, we'll just get you rubber stamped to go straight to a hotel.
No rigorous interrogation and detention for one of 60 or more potential stabbers, because we know that someone stabbed this guy, but we know they're actively stabbing people in boats.
Maybe it was a great white shark.
I mean, from this description, and it was already obvious, we don't actually have a border force.
We have ushers to guide these people into the country.
It's a welcoming committee.
And we have to pay for it.
I hope they throw them a party every single time.
I'm not sure if I'm going to get myself into trouble here, but aren't they helping the people traffickers effectively?
Yes.
They're actively encouraging it by providing them a taxi service.
And I think that's totally fair to say.
The incident happened on the day a record 450 people crossed the English Channel in eight small boats, taking advantages of an improvement in weather conditions.
Wednesday's arrivals beat the previous one-day record this year, when 401 small boat migrants arrived at the beginning of March.
See, the Conservative government is getting those numbers up.
So this is as we move into spring, when weather conditions are going to be better, when the weather is going to be warmer, it's going to be a bit easier, potentially, for them to get over the crossing so we can expect those numbers to keep ramping up as we get closer and closer to summer.
Last year we saw about a thousand people a day crossing, so this is already 4,000 people this year, so... Poseidon, bless us with tumultuous waters.
Yeah, so we know at least one of these people is a murderous criminal, right?
And absolutely nothing is being done to shake these men down and treat them under the suspicion, which warrants the fact that the other ones are also probably covering up for a murderous criminal.
And also, I've been told reliably that these people are doctors, lawyers, and engineers, that if we just set them to work, our economy will be tickety-boo.
What kind of moron brings out a sharp weapon on an inflatable boat?
Well, if he was a doctor, have we considered this might have been some form of emergency surgery gone wrong?
It's a scalpel, actually.
He's trying to rescue him.
He had emergency surgery that he, you know...
Yeah, it might be gender-affirming care, actually.
I've been reliably informed that lots of these people are LGBTQ, fleeing oppression.
So, alright, we know their character.
We keep being told, judge me not by the colour of my skin, but by the content of their character.
Well, it seems that the content of their characters is repeatedly awful, so I'm judging them accordingly.
So, we know who they are, where are they going?
Well, it turns out that the government has confirmed 100 hotels used to house asylum seekers are going to be handed back to the public by the end of March.
Brilliant!
We're getting all our hotels back!
So they're all going to be deported, right?
Ah, yeah, no.
So officials say the 100th hotel will be handed back next Friday, so a week's time and a time of recording on Thursday the 21st.
And the Home Office says the residents of all 100 hotels have been placed into other accommodations such as large purpose-built sites and the private rented sector.
That's going to be potentially even more expensive then.
The housing market, you know that rent you're competing for?
The government are now buying private renting to stick random boat migrants.
Well this is going to be part, I would assume, partially driven by that Serco contract where they're going out into neighborhoods and trying to basically outbid
Uh, private renters, private buyers, so that they can get the accommodation, stick the asylum seekers in there, meaning that you, if you live in a neighborhood in the country, um, you get no say as to who your neighbors are going to be, whereas before it might have been somebody who was contributing member of society who had the money to be able to afford to move in next to you, now it's going to be Serco airdropping asylum seekers into your previously peaceful neighborhood
Good luck with that, I hope you enjoy the all-night parties and music and shouting and all sorts that'll be going on there.
It's gonna sound like Kings Cross train station, exactly.
Have you considered the NHS needs more doctors?
I mean, they're even coming across with their own acid attack kits.
Yeah, just not to treat them though, you know.
Yeah, well this is the exact thing that we saw in the Wellingborough by-election with that elderly couple receiving a notice that the local council was trying to acquisition their house for asylum seekers.
Remember everyone, this is a choice, a deliberate choice is being made to accommodate foreigners who we know are criminals because they've committed a criminal act by breaking into the country.
At the expense, quite literally financially, but also now in terms of just living space, of the native population.
And rather than just presuming all these people came from France, because if you have no papers and they cross the channel, you must think, oh, they're French, we can just turn them back round to the French.
No, the Border Force and the RNLI are providing a taxi service for the especially stabby ones straight into a hotel or local village near you.
So the latest movements will mean there are 20,000 fewer asylum seekers in hotels now than six months ago, down from over 56,000 at the end of September 2023.
The current arrangement costs £8.2 million a day.
So this is going to be saving money, I'm sure.
No.
The housing costs under this plan is going to increase to £1.2 billion.
Well then.
So this is the National Audit Office, you know that far right organisation, that said the Home Office now expects to spend £1.2 billion on housing asylum seekers in large accommodation sites.
Around £46 million more than just using hotels.
As part of the plan to move away from the over-reliance on hotel accommodation, the complaint wasn't that they were in the hotels, the complaint was that they were here in the country, at my expense, in the bloody first place.
Alright?
Taxation is theft, just to remind you.
Especially when it's being spent on criminal foreigners.
The Home Office announced the redevelopment of a number of old military bases and other sites to provide large-scale asylum accommodation.
I'm going to pause in just reading out this article.
Old military barracks.
When we have military servicemen sleeping on the streets that aren't afforded the same privilege, having actually served this country, and then you get a bunch of criminal foreigners packed in there instead, that's just extra insult to injury.
Well, the other factor of this as well, of course, is that this is going to be spreading them out further into the countryside as well.
Air bases, RAF bases, military bases, disused ones are in the countryside.
The sorts of housing that they'll be trying to drop these people into are more likely to end up being in the countryside as well.
For all of the downsides of the hotel accommodation, you can at least say that it somewhat confines the trouble to larger urban centers where there are these hotels willing to take them in.
Now that it's going to be private rented accommodation and military bases, all of a sudden those remnants of the country that we have out there in the countryside, the villages, the smaller market towns, are going to start seeing more of these people.
And I've spoken to other people and have my own, have experienced it myself, that you're starting to see more and more foreign elements crop up in these once quiet, cozy countryside towns and villages.
Which, you know, is not good, as far as I'm concerned.
If what we've seen from the larger urban centres is anything to be taken as an example, it will mean that these places will become filthier, they will become louder, they will get more crime in them, there will be community and cultural breakdown.
All of it negative, but hey, the moral crusade that our leaders seem to have appointed to themselves might be satisfied in some obscure and absurd way.
Yeah, do you remember the Lintonal News, where the population was dwarfed by the incoming migrant population, and all they had was a local church and a little shop, and they were going to stick about 1,500 grown men next to it?
Not a concern for all of the schoolgirls who are underage according to British law, but certainly not in certain cultures and certain nations overseas who might be preyed on by these men, as we've seen time and time again.
So, just going back to this, because you've pre-staged this.
By the end of March, the department expects to have spent $213 million developing four major projects.
The Bivvy Stockholm Barge in Portland, you know, the one, the floating migrant barge, but they've suddenly all converted to Christianity, I'm sure.
Sincerely, the former RAF bases at Scampton in Lincolnshire and Wethersfield and Essex, and ex-student accommodation in Huddersfield.
So, we all remember paying for student accommodation, It was really pricey because lots of foreign students come over and buy the most expensive stuff and price native Brits out of staying in anything that isn't a flea-ridden bedsit.
It's a scam, isn't it?
I went straight into private accommodation.
I wasn't using the university's own accommodation because it was like two or three times the price.
I did the same thing.
Now, even that's going to get even more scarce for UK students.
So glad that they're doctors, lawyers, and engineers, because they're right next to the place they can train again, I suppose.
So far, just two of the sites are open, and we're only housing 900 people by the end of January, according to the Watchdog's findings.
So, to look at where they were going to put these people, Martin Daubney, friend of the show, great Sean G.B.
News, by the way, gets good guests, go and watch that, he spoke to the chair of the Fields Association, a guy called Alan McKenzie, about one of the sites.
And this is a real mask off moment about the people who actually have to live with the consequences of this stuff because we talk about immigration a lot on this show.
We talk about the criminal cases, but you don't always hear from the people who are having these people airdropped into their towns directly.
So I'm going to play you a little bit of his interview.
The chair of the Fields Association in Wethersfield, Alan McKenzie.
Alan, welcome to the show.
So, figures out today about the huge cost of housing asylum seekers in large sites such as Wethersfield, where you are a representative of astonishing numbers.
I mean, it was initially meant to cost £5 million to repurpose Wethersfield.
The true figure It's £49 million, ten times more than they originally let on, and presumably you guys still think it's the wrong idea, the wrong place.
Well, we've been saying that from the get-go.
We warned the Home Office of the difficulties of the site.
It's incredibly remote, five miles from the nearest A road, 20 miles from the nearest motorway.
The site itself is pretty old.
We told them that the main sewer pipe Overflows and adjoining land, and therefore it won't be able to be utilized properly.
We told them the water pressure there was low.
They've had to mitigate that.
The communications are terrible.
They still have problems about providing Wi-Fi for the asylum seekers on the base.
They were warned that the costs would be far, far heavier than ever they thought they possibly could be, and that's been brought to pass.
The other factor that we warned, which is just common sense for anybody who thought about it, was that the thought of housing potentially 1,700 young men on a site where they couldn't get out to do anything to any sense and purposes, was a recipe for disaster.
And lo and behold, once they reached around about 500 people, the callouts that existed from the emergency services, whether it's the police or ambulance, really got out of control, to the extent that when we met cleverly back at the end of January, And again emphasized all of these concerns which were coming home to roost.
The Home Office has at least now taken those concerns on board and issued a letter both to Scampton and in respect of Weathersfield saying that they're going to limit numbers to a regular sort of total of about 800, which is still too many because once you get that many young men together They go into groups, whether by culture, whether by country, and some tensions arise, which is exactly what was found.
So Battle Royale?
Yeah, ethnic battle royale among the bored asylum seekers.
Migrants.
Stabby migrants.
Criminal migrants.
Not to use their terminology.
People that they know have committed crimes, both violent and financial already, that they're now airdropping into quiet little towns in Essex and the Cotswolds.
And we are forced to pay for this.
Now, this isn't a serious idea, but lads, I have a cunning plan.
This, except we close off a district of London and put cameras everywhere broadcasting on the BBC 24-7, that might justify my licence fee.
Because can you imagine the entertainment We've got the island of Saint Helena, right?
Battle Royale.
style of course.
The diversity is our strength.
So if you just put all the diversity in one place, it will become a thriving utopia.
Yeah, it will become its own little Wakanda.
And couldn't we just benefit from that?
Or we would recreate Arkham City.
Or we could do a...
Either way, we profit somehow.
We've got the island of St. Helena, right?
Battle Royale.
All of you go over there, yeah.
We'll film what happens and we'll watch you build civilization because of course that's what you're here to do, It's to enrich our culture with your expertise.
It's not to, you know...
Pissing franchisers.
Yeah, and that.
Yeah, rape, pillage, murder, which has already happened.
Yep.
Yeah, it's fascinating how they come from places which are utterly uncivilized, and we expect them to build civilization here.
I suppose it's just the magic soil, but you're right, Harry, I like your idea.
Diversity is not our strength, but it's certainly our entertainment.
And speaking of diversity and entertainment, I just thought I'd end on one woman who thought that she'd arrived in the UK and then decided that actually the UK looks a lot like home and she doesn't really like it.
And maybe there's some kind of connection between the appeasement to hostile foreigners and the fact that the UK no longer looks like the UK.
Now, this clip was posted by Politics Joe, of all people.
I'm surprised that they actually let this one out because it's really revelatory.
Let's listen to her.
What politicians do in everything is doing.
I think there is a big responsibility of the Muslim community in that because we have tried to change the British.
It is totally different now.
It's nothing like Britain before.
You know, it's everybody's like doing their own thing and they want to adapt everything.
So this country's own culture has disappeared.
You know, and I think this is something that needs to come back if we want to be, you know, feeling the importance.
Because, you know, if the British society changed to another other country's, you know, rules and religious expectation and everything, then you cannot expect, you know, the Britain, you know, politicians to be British to you.
So this is what you think.
Britain has been too accommodating, almost.
Yes, it is.
And I think this multicultural, everything coming into it, has made it like the society has changed to everybody's adaptations.
Like everybody's doing their own thing.
Schools and everything, you know, they're like having different kind of holidays.
Everybody's having different kind of, you know, their own adaptations.
And I think, you know, if you go to Tower Hamlets Council and you want to speak to someone about, you know, before I would go to Council and I would see that they would expect it and they understand me.
But now they will be like, oh, in your culture it happens so adaptively.
Is she in our comments right now?
Is she a Lotus Eaters viewer?
Why did Politics Joe release these?
I don't know.
Average Camus reader, I suppose.
It's funny because I've heard other Muslims say similar things like this and if it gets to the point where even Muslims are just like, hang on a minute, we need to bring Britain back to being British again, that really speaks to the level of problem.
Well, it's interesting the reasons that she says it as well is that she likes the the politicians and the people being British towards her, which means, I would assume, a certain level of polite manners and toleration and understanding, which she knows that the sorts of people that are coming into Tower Hamlets Council, as she explained there, don't have those same standards, they don't have as she explained there, don't have those same standards, they don't have those same
They're more than eager and willing to brush aside any concerns that she has and say, well, that's just how it happens where you're from.
She associates Britishness with excellence, and the more you erase Britishness, specifically Englishness, because we are in England, in public life in favour of appeasing foreign cultures who have committed crimes in order to be here, the more standards slip and the more civilisation gets worse.
And so...
Well, I can only imagine if it had been, and I know I hate to do the oh imagine if blah blah blah, but imagine... Here lies conservatism.
Yeah, can you imagine if it was a white person, a British person, saying this?
The Politics Joe interviewer would be all over them trying to say, well those are racist talking points, you can't say that other cultures and other peoples have different values and behaviors that come more naturally to them.
Of course they're going to behave in the exact way that we would expect British people to because Britain is all just about diversity and being open to other cultures.
Yeah, well the cultures that they're coming from aren't open to other cultures and they're going to bring that culture over here.
There's a reason that they left and also there's a reason that loads of Brits aren't going to Pakistan or, you know, Eritrea or all of these... Racism.
Yeah, it's just racism, isn't it?
It's not that, you know, our culture and our country is better by many, many metrics.
Yeah, well, on Monday night's debate, and I finished with this, I suppose, on mass immigration, Aaron Bastani got up and said, oh, you wouldn't want to be a homogenous country with low immigration, would you?
Because a homogenous country is North Korea.
You know, a communist country, Aaron, from a communist outlet.
And he said, all the nations that have low immigration are Iran, Iraq, Eritrea.
You wouldn't want to be those, would you?
I wonder, Aaron, if they had low immigration and they're failed states, then there might be something about their culture and people's values that make them a failed state.
So why would we import them all here to then change Britain?
But I'm sure that just I and this woman are furthering the Great Replacement Conspiracy Theory, and I hope you enjoy your time in the UK.
Inshallah.
Alright then.
So, following bad news most of everywhere, I'd like to remind everybody that this isn't just a bad news podcast, but in fact there is occasionally good news somewhere.
Not here.
Not here.
Of course not.
That would be silly.
Somewhere there is good news, and occasionally we need reminding of that.
And I've spoken about this person before, that is, what, how do you say his name?
Naeem Bekele.
Naeem Bekele.
Bekele.
Bekele?
I think it's Bekele.
Bekele.
All right.
Is he Prime Minister or President of El Salvador?
I don't know the designations.
President of El Salvador.
In his Twitter bio there you can see he's dubbed himself Philosopher King, which is very based to be honest.
I wish that our leaders would have the kind of tongue-in-cheek self-confidence to be able to have a bit of fun like that to show themselves as being more than just disgusting, hateful people who despise the people that they're ruling over and go, yeah, I like the people that I'm ruling over.
And in fact, I'm going to have fun with it because they like me and we can have a little bit of an amusing dialogue here.
But he has been ruling El Salvador for a few years now and has made most notable news from something that you'll all be aware of, the fact that he put all of MS-13 into prison - Yeah.
Almost overnight.
And overnight, El Salvador, formerly one of the most dangerous countries in the entire world, it had one of the highest homicide rates in the entire world because it was run by MS-13, is now one of the safest countries in the entire world and is the safest country in South and Central America.
I was only going to add something quick.
Recently, there was actually a World Happiness Index survey and El Salvador ranked the highest of all South American countries, which Yeah, that's not particularly surprising to me.
As much as NGOs, human rights organizations and awful lawyers will start crying, have you considered the human rights of the violent murderers and rapists?
Normal people go, Why no, no I haven't.
It's almost like they're really easy to identify because they tattoo skulls on their faces.
Yes and I've spoken about this before but it's not as though it would be that difficult to implement similar policies in the US or even the UK where you have crime-ridden neighborhoods in parts of London.
I've pointed out with say for instance The drill gangs, the drill rappers in London who have high rates of crime amongst themselves literally have a map of their territories that you can access online.
Gang areas throughout America are very well known in the ghettos.
They're not the smartest bunch, are they?
No, it's almost like they have a certain tendency to brag about the things that they do, write songs about them, broadcast it to the world.
Show off the proceeds of their crime on their person.
They say the exact postcode they committed the crime in, which is now why drill rap lyrics- It's literally postcode.
They're admitted into criminal trials, the drill rap lyrics now.
Yes, which of course, news outlets have been saying is racist and unfair, because, Your Honour, you can't literally condemn him for admitting to his crimes in song, have you considered that he rhymed it?
Oh no.
Oh, if he did the rhyme, he couldn't have committed the crime.
Well, who needs a lawyer if I can speak in verse?
Exactly.
Through doing that in a little couplet as well, I've exonerated myself of any and all crimes that I might be charged with in the future, so please consider that as my defense, Your Honor.
But Billy Kelly has also been doing all the things that are good for the country.
I know he's been a big fan of Bitcoin ever since he was voted in on his first term and has been saying that he wanted to do things with Bitcoin.
He's made Bitcoin their legal tender in El Salvador, as far as I'm aware.
And what he's been saying is that he's decided to transfer a big chunk of his Bitcoin to a cold wallet.
And I can hear Dan He's not in the office today, but you know I can hear it from here.
And he's been storing that cold wallet in a physical vault within their national territory.
He says you can call it our first Bitcoin piggy bank.
It's not much, but it's honest work.
And he said as well, part of this plan is that he is going to be buying a single Bitcoin every single day.
Until it becomes completely unaffordable with fiat currency.
Now from what I can tell, and you might be able to explain this a bit better Josh, is that he is trying through making it legal tender and then making it unaffordable outside of El Salvador.
He's trying to make it so that they have a replacement for their own sovereign currency and something that could take the form of a physical tender in a way that gold used to.
It could be a Bitcoin standard rather than a gold standard.
Pretty much explained it spot on there as far as I'm aware.
Yeah, also this is a way to insulate themselves from the collapse of the petrodollar because the petrodollar used to be on the gold standard and then they switched to oil because America had the hegemony on oil production and then since the Trump administration, since America were an energy independent and net exporter nation of oil and liquid natural gas, the Biden administration repealed lots of those executive orders on day one, have sabotaged the American oil industry and have started doing more exports.
to China and the nations.
So now, BRICS has the monopoly on fossil fuels and BRICS is a parallel economic block.
So as soon as the petrodollar wanes with the American foreign policy influence, he has got an energy-backed currency as an alternative to the dollar to safeguard against economic collapse.
Well, do you want to know something that ties into that that's actually quite remarkable?
At the same time that this is happening, and that Bukele is working towards a true sovereign independence for El Salvador so they'll be able to sustain themselves, at the exact same time, Britain, if I get the information up here, has basically started to close its steel mills.
Yes, I've seen that.
At the exact same time, as we are drifting further and further and further into complete dependence on the international markets, which means that we have no say in the international markets because we have no leverage ourselves, increasing reliance on foreign suppliers of goods, they're actually looking to get some form of independence and be able to rely on themselves, which from a national security standpoint is what you do.
If you don't have national security, you are entirely, you're able to be victimized by any other country that has power over you.
This is what allowed America to dismantle the British Empire and take the spot as the largest and most powerful country in the world is that we, you know, over leveraged our position.
We were overly reliant on global trade.
And so when conflict arose, the Americans were able to, Yeah, just to make it clear, we don't associate Americans with the American ruling class.
We understand you hate them as much as we do.
much what happened there's no not criticizing americans now it's just the people who were in charge at the time yeah we traded palestine for the money to set up the nhs basically yeah just to make it clear we don't associate americans with the american ruling class they hate their own ruling class we understand you hate them as much as we do just as much as you yeah as which is why you're watching this podcast right now um and And this tactic is going pretty well.
So you can see in here he's got, what's that, about 5,689 Bitcoin in there.
And Bitcoin's huge at the moment, as far as I can tell.
I heard people talking about it recently, saying that it was skyrocketing.
It took a big bump, yeah.
It reached a historic peak, I think.
I don't really follow it that closely.
I think the cost of decrypting the blockchain had halved basically overnight, which means that the value of it took a large jump.
My portfolio, which is completely non-existent by the way, looks great.
As a result of this, they had a surprise profit of the Bitcoin of $406 million in regards to how much that Bitcoin is worth.
So he's got national security in mind.
He's actually making money.
If they were to look at the value of these Bitcoin, And also I believe he is doing schemes at the moment to try and get international investors to move to El Salvador so they can start profitable business in the country.
This is a really important thing actually because I think that we like to think of the role of the government as taking our money, well we don't like to but it's the way it is, that they take our money and redistribute it to other things and provide us services but actually the government could easily make the citizens money and say here you go, we've made you some money using you know A large scale ability to mobilize our economy and here you are, here's a gift.
As far as I can tell he is approaching his role as the president as that of a CEO of a company where he's trying to make sure that the people who are employed by the company are safe and well cared for and that the country is as efficient as possible, as well off as possible.
As good as possible, really, to put it simply.
Which is not something that we see over here.
Our leaders seem to see this country as an oil mine that they can run dry and then leg it with the profits.
And we're pretty close to running dry right now.
And it looks like they're looting the banks, looting all of the profits that we did have and destroying the country and leaving nothing in its wake.
So that's fantastic.
But the main thing that he's known for, of course, Is the making it safe?
Is the destruction of MS-13 making it so that they're not viable?
Making it so that they're all arrested and not treated very well in prison from all the reports that I do hear from the human rights organizations?
But you know what?
I'm not going to be shedding any tears over that when you can see that he's been bragging about it.
Statista just published the murder rates for Latin America in 2023, placing El Salvador as the lowest on the chart.
Spoiler alert!
The murder rate for 2024 is trending even lower.
And even then, this is per 100,000 per year, they have dropped to 2.4.
Blimey.
Remember as well, not just for the UK, who has the highest number of crimes committed by people of foreign extraction in Western Europe, but also the US, whose murder rate keeps going up in Democrat cities, this is always a political choice.
He actually cares about the people who he purports to represent.
And so he has chosen to clean up their country and bring them peace and prosperity like a benevolent emperor.
And our leaders have decided that actually their clientele class are the criminal foreigners and random racial grievance activists.
And instead, they're going to take the money of the hardworking indigenous population, give it to their clientele class, and then make off when the white people are either too dead or too upset to keep compliant.
I've got to say this.
I was going to say, Jamaica is obviously pretty high.
Number three is Haiti at 40.9.
I can only imagine that the statistics for 2024, when they come out, Haiti's going to rocket straight to the top of the leaderboards.
But sadly, you don't win many great prizes when you win this competition.
Free barbecue.
Yeah, how dare you to smash the name of General Barbecue.
I thought you were going to point out what sprung to mind when I saw Jamaica at the top.
But in Britain, the ethnicity that commits the most violent crime is Jamaica.
Jamaicans even.
In Britain.
Per capita, really.
Well, it would be very racist of you to draw any conclusions from that.
Moving on, because of how effective these tactics are, It seems that other populist leaders in South America and Central America are starting to take note and starting to copy the program which has been set out rather efficiently for them, which is just, oh, arrest all the criminals.
Arrest all the criminals?
You think we should arrest all the criminals and that might reduce crime?
Arrest all of the murderers and rapists and it reduces rape and murder?
Well, we'd never thought of that one before, or at least the leaders before had, because Argentine President Javier Mele, Josh's favourite, has apparently started to implement very similar policies by arresting a load of criminals.
As he considered we just need more youth clubs and pool tables.
He doesn't need the Falklands though.
No he doesn't.
Just throwing that one in there.
But once again I love the fact that with this this tactic seems to also the policy also has to include excellent promotional photos.
We've arrested all of the criminals and here's humiliating photos of them as well because I do have to say I have to say there is some logic in that, which is it lets other criminals know that we're serious, and it lets other criminals know that if they get caught as well, they will be similarly humiliated.
Do you want to be remembered as one of these numbnuts?
Yeah, these gangs operate off of fear, intimidation, and reputation.
And to have these images in the social media rage are actually an effective deterrent.
Yeah, but so I'm saying that there's a South American libertarian to fascist pipeline, which is completely undefeated.
Don't give people a reason for that.
If you were to move to Latin America, Josh, you'd be wearing a stylish uniform and cape in no time.
But that's the thing, it's not even fascism.
He has joked he's the world's coolest dictator, but he had a 92% approval rating and an 85% majority of the vote in his last election.
Which was in February, yes.
Which is a threat to democracy.
Yeah, quite exactly.
And is just a Catholic upholding the law?
Like, good guy?
You don't have to resort to fascism to actually have a nice country, it turns out.
The president does things that the population likes, gets voted in on a huge wave of appreciation.
The West, this is fascism.
All we want is to be wealthy and to lock up criminals, that's it.
But have you considered that we need to coup an Indian in?
Oh well.
Yeah, but the thing is, so he's inspired Malay, although Malay might have already been thinking about doing something like this as well, but if he did inspire him directly, he's also spreading the same message to places like America, where at the most recent CPAC, he said to an audience, he said the people of El Salvador have woken up The global elites, they hate our success and they fear yours.
No lies detected.
He said that many of the US's biggest cities were in decline and have become places where crime and drugs have become the daily norm.
How many young people have you lost on the streets of Philadelphia or San Francisco to fentanyl?
He said.
Can you imagine how we will be in the next 5, 10, 15 years?
The urge of the enthusiastic audience put up a fight because in the end, it will be worth it.
You will have your country back.
So this is a threat.
This is a clear threat to the ruling class, our leaders, that we have right now because he is presenting a way out.
You do not have to be ruled by people who hate you and want to see you hurt, who want to see you murdered, who want to see your family raped or transitioned or any number of other horrible things.
You do not have to be ruled by people who want you impoverished and in the gutter.
You can be ruled by people who actually give a damn about the country and want you to succeed.
And our leaders are terrified of that because they are not the people who want to do that.
They are not the populists.
This is why we have the populist threat that's going right now.
Because populists, like Bukele, are people who say, you don't have to live like this.
It's kind of amazing to me that they're trying to turn populist into like a dirty word because it's got, you know, it's made up of the word popular.
It's just like, we can't give the people what they want.
My goodness, they've got to be predated on and stolen from.
That's genuinely it.
Bekele represents a major threat, as you said, because, again, he is an example of why all of this is a choice.
The elite constantly position all of these socialills as an inevitability, as Tony Blair wants it, of globalization.
Debating that is as futile as debating if autumn follows the summer.
So it's always going to happen.
You might as well appoint us the managers who would steward you into the new age.
Managed decline.
Exactly.
And now Bukele is saying, no, all of this is a choice.
Your children don't have to overdose from drugs and you don't have to be shoved in front of trains by homeless people and give all your money to criminal foreigners.
Actually, I've got a nice country over here and look how quickly I turned it around.
And if you just elected leaders or had leaders whose underlings did their bidding effectively, were they in office, Properly, you would have that nice country too.
Yeah.
But once again, our leaders aren't the ones who are going to do this.
And so our leaders, so, well, the only way that this is going to get done is if we get ousted.
And who knows if we get ousted, the people who replace us might not be that fond of us seeing as we destroyed their country and had all of these horrible things happen to them.
We might even be liable for criminal charges here because of the level of corruption that exists in the West right now.
So they say, okay, this is awful, we best call this fascism, we best call this undemocratic, and get people to hate it, and maybe even throw economic sanctions their way, as Joe Biden has threatened to do to El Salvador in the past few months, because we want to nip this in the bud before we end up in prison, or worse.
But Bukele really loves playing up this image of himself because he shares all sorts of stuff on Twitter.
He even shared Carl on Twitter.
He retweeted me before, I'm very happy with this.
I was going through his Twitter and this was just shared on his page which was, Bukele-ized New York!
Bukele-ized the world!
Criminals in jail!
Bitcoin!
Cold storage!
Philosopher King!
Golden Age!
I'm coming for you, brother!
You're right, it feels like a WWE promo!
I have to agree.
Of all of the criticisms that I've seen of Bukele, the one I agree with the most is Dave the Distributist, which is that he, you know, everything he's doing is excellent, but he doesn't have the style.
Go back to the last image, actually.
Like, he just looks better in a suit.
He should be dressed like a daffy, basically.
Like Tim Curry.
He needs a cape.
It wouldn't be good for the whole fascist branding, but the Pinochet sort of look of I agree.
He needs a cape.
If you're a South American leader who's going to do stuff like this that actually benefits your public, you've got to wear a cape.
Come on, man.
But he's also saying, as well, in response to everything that's going on in Haiti right now, because Ian Miles Chong was posting about how Haiti's collapsed.
Here's all of these horrible images.
We know that people are eating each other.
He just says, we can fix it.
We'll need a UNSC resolution, the consent of the host country and all the mission expenses to be covered, but also we can fix it.
Which is him just saying to the international community, whether you want to say that such a thing really exists, he's saying, listen, this is a horrible thing that's happening.
If you actually care about people in Haiti who are being brutalized and murdered and literally eaten, if you actually want to show that you care about these people, give me the keys.
Give me the keys and I will fix it.
And you know what?
I reckon he probably would be able to.
But I like that he's kind of trying to arrange some superhero group of South and Central Americans where he's at the head of them, like a Justice League, a South American confederation that will be able to fix all of the problems down there.
And I would be in total support of that to a certain extent because all of the corruption that goes on down there, especially the cartels, If you were to have a load of leaders band together and fix the cartel problem in South America, that would solve a lot of problems for North America as well, through ferrying up illegal immigrants and ferrying up a lot of drugs.
That would solve so much.
There's also the fact that if an outside force goes into a country, they're going to be less prone to be corrupt because they are this outside entity.
They're not embedded in the culture, which allows people to be more corrupt because everyone kind of knows each other.
Everyone's got a hand in each other's pockets.
Where as if they send over presumably soldiers and police officers and the likes to restore order, well they're going to have no reason to accept this because they're on a salary they're being paid for and you know it might happen to some extent but not to the same extent as it would domestically.
I'd also trust Bekele far more than the American State Department to clear it up, because the last time the American State Department so-called went over there to spread democracy somewhere, Joe Biden's brother got house building contracts.
So I highly doubt Bekele is going to sink to the same level of corruption, because he hasn't yet.
And he's already got priors to show that he knows how to do this sort of stuff effectively.
Credit to Dave, the distributors, who I mentioned a second ago for the segment title, because he posted this saying, is this guy making a grab for Caesar of Central America?
I'm not against it.
I'm not against it at all.
But of course, as I mentioned, this is a threat to our leaders.
So they have to start spreading propaganda about how actually this is a bad thing.
If you have somebody who comes in and says that he's going to fix your problems and actually follows up on that.
If it's not just empty rhetoric, we need everybody to know that that's a bad thing and not just putting empty rhetoric forward is authoritarianism, is fascism, yada, yada, yada.
You get articles like this, the populist threat.
How Bukele in Malay undermined democratic progress in Latin America.
Remember, 83-85% of the vote on the recent popular election that happened in February, undemocratic.
Yeah.
This is just undemocratic.
And what's the reasons they give here?
They say Bukele is implementing Manojura policies without regard to the cost to human rights and constitutional order.
Boric, one of the other South and Central American leaders, represents social demands for change through democratic means, blah, blah, blah.
Unfortunately, this possibility of Morby Kelly springing up is now becoming a reality as more Latin Americans lose patience with democracies.
You mean the corruption of their native countries and their governments and political classes that haven't become more inclusive, just, or equitable.
Love that they've got to try and sprinkle DEI into it somehow.
You see, Latin Americans, they just hate that their countries aren't gayer.
They're clearly white supremacists.
That's the problem.
Recent events signal the region might be at a critical juncture between a continued democratic trajectory and erosion towards authoritarianism.
Latin Americans are increasingly fed up with their elected leaders.
This is fertile ground for authoritarianism.
So what they're actually fed up with?
What they're actually tired with is not democratic elections.
It's democratic means that these people are always going on about, which is a code word for sitting on your hands and arguing about how you can best do absolutely nothing while your country burns.
All democratic means is people shouting at one another, saying, you're not doing nothing enough.
And they stand up and say, no, I'm doing plenty of nothing.
You're not doing nothing enough.
And actually you're more racist.
Yeah, what the people want are actions.
They want actions because they speak louder than words, they speak louder than any kind of rubbish parliamentary questions, PMQs, whatever your country has.
We don't want to see your guys getting up and making a big bluster.
We want to see them actually doing useful things for the country.
Which they don't do.
You've spoken about this recently on your Tomlinson Talk Show, where you spoke about how Britain needs a Buchelian.
You were referencing this article from the Times, saying that new autocrats driving global democracy to a 20 year low.
Now they could have not made him look cool in like his own stained glass window there.
You were joking earlier.
He's got the Fred Durst backwards cap on right there.
He's about to drop some mad rhymes.
Well, actually, if he's compared to Fred Durst, maybe not mad rhymes.
Maybe mediocre rhymes.
Lackluster and mediocre rhymes, yeah.
So they talk about the Bertelsmann-Steifung latest index revealing the rise of media censorship, unfair elections, and curbs of civil protest.
So the Bertelsmann transformation index, BTI, Index, released every two years since 2005, assesses 137 countries classed as developing, largely the world's poorer nations, or transitioning, such as former communist bloc states in Europe.
Which this chart basically, it charts how close your country is to becoming a corrupt shithole like the USA.
is slowly morphing into.
The closer your country is to the U.S.
and everybody wants to copy the U.S.' 's system as it works right now, right?
That just means you're more democratic.
Unless Donald Trump is in charge, in which case all of a sudden it's a fascist totalitarian state again.
But the closer your country is to the U.S., the more democratic you are, the more your country works and locks up criminals and supports its own citizens, the less you are like the U.S., the more undemocratic you are.
That's how these rules work.
Autocratic rule and populism can be fueled by the COVID pandemic, numerous conflicts such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine, a sharp rise in food costs and economic turmoil.
So remember that when we locked you up for almost two years on dubious grounds, shall we say, that was democracy in action.
But when these people do things that you actually want them to do, that's not democracy.
So those are the rules I want everybody to be clear.
Since the survey began two decades ago, the index was not included Western democracies such as the US, the UK or France, which are considered to be consolidated democracies, broadly defined as those which were members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development prior to 1989.
They were all left out.
So they're already locked down under American hegemony, so they don't count.
We don't assess those because if we were to actually obsess them fairly and objectively, it might look great.
A lot more stabby foreigners there, yeah.
But according to this democracy, this incredibly fair metric, across the world has slipped to its lowest standing in decades, and they include El Salvador in that.
Why?
Because the self-styled world's coolest dictator declared a state of emergency, arrested gang members without trial, almost 2% of the adult population has been arrested, prompting outcry from human rights groups.
As always, imagine you're just a normie.
I know you would have to drop at least 20 IQ points, but imagine you're a normie and you're reading this with no context and you say, of the adult population, that's not missing context at all.
He's just arresting people for no reason.
He's just arresting people because it's fun to do that.
But doesn't the US have a higher percentage of the adult population incarcerated than El Salvador does?
Possibly.
I think I saw a mention somewhere of them having one of the highest prison populations in the entire world at the moment, because they've got about 80,000 people in prison right now purely from these arrests and raids.
So I wouldn't be shocked if they have a higher percentage.
But still, they leave out all the context and the reasons why, and they say violence has drastically reduced.
Yeah, it works, but there is unease at Bukele's tightening authoritarianism.
He won a second term in February despite a constitutional ban on running for consecutive terms, which if I remember correctly, their Supreme Court lifted that ban because of how popular he is, because of how effective he is, and because of the fact they probably know that whoever would replace him would probably be some kind of US or international puppet who immediately released all of the murderers and rapists, and they thought that might be bad for the country.
So people that thought the Constitution was plastic enough to persecute Donald Trump for completely spurious charges now think the Constitution is some ironclad thing that the will of the people cannot go against, especially if he actually does the things they like.
Good to know.
Yeah, exactly.
So take note, your leaders hate you, but things are going well in other parts of the world, and hopefully, sometime in the near future, we can start to have our own dictator Caesar to save us from the mess that we're in.
Let's go to the video comments.
So, with the talk of all the chavs, I assume that they're a lot like the hillbilly communities where I live.
The thing is about those communities is, say what you will about them, at least they weren't politically active.
And with the rise of the migrant communities, we're now about to see what Chad's would be like if they were politically inclined and had strong political leadership.
Yeah, they're not like hillbillies at all.
They're a consequence of the urban poor, but they're urban poor white people.
If you want a good look at Chabs, watch Eden Lake.
It's really disturbing.
And then watch mine and Harry's chat with Proper Horror Show about it.
Yeah, they are also heavily influenced by American black culture.
I would say because of the rap, they've got kind of council house rap, you could say.
And the guy there, in the background of that picture, is Plan B, who, yes.
Oh really?
In the middle, yeah.
He released actually quite a good soul album 13 years ago.
But all of his other stuff that he's released is, I don't know what the official term for it would be, it's like British rap music.
Right.
Brit-hop.
Brit-hop, yeah.
rather than Britpops.
This is the trailer for the new Dragon Age game, isn't it?
I think that was one of mine.
Oh, is it?
You're right, yeah, you are.
Of course, yeah.
I'm being stupid.
I've played hundreds of hours of that.
Jesus Christ!
Not original content, I'm just kidding.
Yeah, this is why I haven't bought any new games for absolutely ages.
Literally, the latest game that I've bought, me and my missus are going through Fogs, which is just a cute dog puzzle game on the Switch.
So, games are just crazy.
I kind of like the look of the new Dragon's Dogma.
If only because of the amazing character creator it has, I would probably make Robert Baratheon, when he's really I've been playing a remaster of Tony Hawk's 1 and 2.
It's reliving my childhood.
Can I express disappointment at the Final Fantasy VII remakes because it was the first game I ever played.
I played for two years straight as a kid and they've just been rationing content and changing the story and even though it looks beautiful it's just bloody fetch quests for like 10 hours.
I think you might trigger Jack.
Anyway on to the next one.
So Ramshackle Otter convinced me to try Wright's coal tar soap.
Unfortunately, they don't actually use real coal tar anymore in the soap, but it still works really good.
And the scent on it is completely unique.
I've had other people try it out and they say it's also really good.
I actually like using it now.
It's legitimately a really good hand soap.
So I would say England, you guys did a really good job on this one.
It's an excellent English export and I'll be proudly using it.
Thanks to the Fight Club review.
Yeah, old school soap is good.
There's lots of bad stuff in modern synthetic stuff.
The original animal fatty style stuff is great.
I just try it out.
I just use really basic soap bars, because everything that's in the shower just strips your skin and turns it into a set in dune.
You know, yeah.
Okay, on to the next one.
I just can't believe that Carl has not watched keeping up appearances.
Is it even legal to call yourself English and have not watched Keeping Up Appearances?
I love imitating Mrs. Eilerton.
Hello, it's the bookcase, it's the lady in the house speaking.
It's Violet, you know, my sister, with the big house and the permanent swimming pool.
I've not seen it.
Now that you're reminded it by saying Hyacinth, yeah, my missus loves keeping up appearances.
She used to watch it with her dad as a kid.
So I have, by proxy, watched a lot of keeping up appearances because it's on in the background.
I've never even heard of it.
Is it like upstairs, downstairs?
It is a woman whose aspiration is to be upper middle or upper class, but is actually from a family who are quite low working class and all dressing like horrible wife beaters that are all stained and dirty.
And she's constantly trying to present herself as being classier than she is.
She puts on a very fancy accent, but she's always being embarrassed by her working class family members.
So you'd probably enjoy it.
Good premise for the show, yeah.
Shaming the working classes.
That's just my... No, I'm joking.
On to the next one then.
This question is for Dan.
In your Bitcoin is Back prokonomics, you talked about market makers being bastards and taking out option holders.
I was wondering, in Minecraft, hypothetically speaking, why would market makers do this?
Are they hoping to avoid paying out on options they issued?
Or are they trying to force margin calls so that they can collect distressed assets?
Thank you for everything you do, Lotus Eaters.
Take care.
We're gonna have to save that one for Dan, I think.
I don't know how that one snuck through.
Dan, we've got some Minecraft economics questions for you to answer.
Rory's also qualified to talk about matters of Minecraft.
Yes, he talks about it a lot.
Okay, on to the next one.
Hi Lotus Eaters!
Just wanted to recommend a YouTube channel, Spiritual Enfulment, with John Butler.
You guys might already be aware of him because he is from the UK.
He has some wonderful videos on spirituality and religion.
And I learned a lot.
I like his videos a lot.
So I wanted to recommend them to you.
Have a look.
Hang on.
Is it spiritual fulfillment?
Unfoldment.
Unfoldment.
Okay.
Yes.
John V always does a really wholesome video comments.
It's almost like she sent it into the wrong podcast sometimes with some of the topics that we cover.
Well, I've subscribed to him now.
So if you're part of his marketing department, it works.
I'll have a look.
Thank you.
And then the last one.
To clarify my thoughts for the other day, what I meant to say was that we have many names for the social exertions of this beast, progressivism, social justice, etc.
We have no name to refer to this thing as a form of governance, which is its true nature.
Like I said, you can't hit a target you can't identify, and look how well it served to rightfully kill the fascists for the grave mistake of naming themselves.
It's sort of like if we were stuck in Maoist China and had words for the Thousand Flowers campaign, but not communism itself.
I think Blairism comes close, but it's meaningless to anyone outside the UK.
And as I said, finding the one true name of this beast is probably the most worthy project we could possibly pursue.
Let me know what you think.
Look, Woke Works is the best name because it's just shorthand for gay race communism.
That's exactly what it is.
I couldn't pay attention because of how cool that clip was.
Yeah, the clip itself was distracting.
I was thinking, God, I wish that was me right now.
It was exactly the same.
You can go dirt biking in the UK, we should do it sometime, it'd be great fun.
On with some of the comments.
Zeranks, Sing Sing Prison is a notorious maximum security prison in Ossing, New York.
When people around here find out someone spent time there, we know it was something very serious, and that was for $5 on Rumble, so thank you very much for that.
PhilQ, thank you for the addition of an audio-only way to listen to the live stream.
Oh, I didn't even realize that was a thing, but well done to our web devs and the backroom team.
I like this comment.
Henry Aslan says Harry's sideburns make him look like Ricky from the Trailer Park Boys, which I didn't realise until you pointed it out.
Yeah, well you know what?
There's barely a single comment agreeing with him.
Everyone just sees Bo as based.
Brilliant.
Yeah, I really hope that Reform makes the wise decision to back him as they did Lee Anderson.
I like this comment.
Henry Aslin says, Harry's sideburns make him look like Ricky from the Trailer Park Boys, which I didn't realise until you pointed it out.
Yeah, well, you know what?
I'm going to pay you $5 to pop.
Your Jordan Pee's favourite character.
Go listen to some blues music in the car and drinks of beers, yeah.
Smoke a doobie and fire guns randomly into the air.
I've not watched Trailer Park Boys for too long.
I need to go back and watch some.
We've got a couple of minutes so we may as well do some.
Well we've got another Rumble Super Chat as well from Josie Angels for $5.
Thank you very much Josie saying, has there been any reports on Muslim apostasy?
I've heard it's as high as 25% and growing.
I haven't heard the statistics on this in the UK.
I can look it up.
I do know a guy who was a former Pakistani Muslim who has since converted to Catholicism because of his wife, so I could probably DM him for sources.
So, the Unbreakable Litany says, in true Joe Rogan fashion, we should all take a minute to think about what a bear would do to Johnson.
That's fantastic.
Yeah, what about if it was a chimpanzee that put a head in a freezer?
What would happen then?
I love Joe Rogan's obsession with apes.
I think I share it to a certain extent.
I think it's because he's heavily related to them.
We have a missing link, Rogan.
I think we should probably move on to another comment.
We're almost about to run out of time.
I wonder if the MPs proposing these measures at the expense of the taxpayer are profiting from this switch to private housing.
We will never know, because they don't actually have to publish their stock portfolio, hence why lots of them, I'm sure, were very invested in the vaccine companies during lockdown, but didn't have to disclose how much money they made.
Yeah, I'll go for one or two from my segment.
Exciting time!
So that's something for the people of Nicaragua to look forward to.
has been able to force his country back into law and order.
He feels almost like more of a Sulla than a Caesar, but if Sulla had used his powers for good rather than evil, of course, if he is indeed a Caesar figure, he'll be conquering Nicaragua soon.
Exciting times, so that's something for the people of Nicaragua to look forward to.
Someone online, appreciate the understanding, lads.
Us yanks don't associate you with your government either.
Salute.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
I am not associated in any way with Rishi Sunak.
I hate the government as a concept.
No, not quite that far.
Anyway, thanks very much for joining us, gentlemen.
Thank you to my co-host as well.
Calvin will be live in just under half an hour, so go and check him out.
If you haven't subscribed to the website already, you need to before you go and do that.
We're only five quid a month and it helps us keep the lights on.
We'll be back tomorrow at one o'clock.
