	The Conservative Party's unending desire for treason has led to your people's future being shrouded in darkness.
	With nothing left to satiate its hunger for treachery, it has turned to the one thing it has yet to destroy.
	The Conservative Party itself.
	Many thought it impossible.
	After persisting through so much deceit and duplicity, it seemed like nothing could bring about its demise.
	But now, with the support of so many, the Conservative Party brand is broken, reduced to a runaway train, with no brakes and zero seats.
	After nearly 200 years, when the clock strikes 10 on Thursday the 4th of July, the traitorous project known as the Conservative and Unionist Party of the United Kingdom will finally come to an end.
	The greatest enemy of your people will be vanquished forever.
	And the best place to watch this truly historic moment unfold is on lotuseaters.com.
	Hello everyone and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters, episode 945 for today.
	Wednesday the 26th of June, 2021.
	I'm oh so looking forward to that election night.
	Oh, it brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it?
	It certainly will to Rishi Sunak's.
	I just want to know, who is going around Downing Street getting really high quality footage of Rishi Sunak stimming to himself and fidgeting awkwardly?
	Spad, who is probably paid much better than we are.
	Oh, fair play.
	Depressing reality.
	Anyway, I'm your host Connor, joined by Josh and Harry.
	We haven't done this sort of set-up for a long while.
	No, we haven't.
	No, it's not been this line-up for ages.
	Yeah, anyway, to cheer you up, we're going to discuss some really fun stories today.
	The freeing of Julian Assange, how CNN aren't even hiding their bias ahead of the Trump-Biden presidential debate, and hope-not-hate-doxing, friend of the show, raw-egg nationalist, I suppose.
	No.
	And author for Islander Magazine which if you haven't picked up yet too late you're far too late and I'm sorry to say you're gay.
	Like many on the dissident right in fact.
	Exactly.
	That's true.
	I've got a small announcement.
	You fit right in.
	I've got a small announcement.
	Three o'clock today.
	I mean we haven't got it up on screen but it's on the website.
	My Show, Thomson Talks.
	I'll be chatting to Mary Harrington about the election so we're good friends.
	It's going to be a good laugh.
	Join us there if you haven't subscribed already.
	Do so before.
	Without further ado Josh, take it away.
	So, the morning of the 12th of July 2007, you're in Iraq.
	Here you are, you're in the Amin district of Baghdad in Iraq to be precise, which is all the way down here on this eastern side.
	So, Two Apache helicopters, much like this one, flying overhead.
	And around 9.50am there is a group of men, about 20 men, moving through the streets.
	The Apache crew, manned by American soldiers, of course, mistakenly identifies camera equipment carried by two Reuters journalists, Namir Noor Eldin, I think, and Saeed Chma.
	I don't know how to pronounce their second names, but I'm just going to refer to them by their first names now.
	But they interpret this camera equipment as weapons.
	So because of this, the Apache crew requests and receives permission to engage the group, believing they are insurgents.
	This is at 9.53 so three minutes after spotting this group of people.
	A minute later the Apache crew opens fire on the group with their 30 millimeter cannons killing several people immediately.
	So Namir, one of the Reuters journalists, tries to lie on the ground to avoid getting hit but The Apache spots him and blasts him with the cannons killing him.
	Saeed tries to run away but the gunner follows him as he's running and guns him down as well and he lies there injured.
	So this is 9.54 about six minutes later about 10 a.m.
	Van arrives to the scene and the men inside try to assist the wounded Saeed.
	The helicopter crew believe these rescuers are insurgents and they gun them down as well after getting permission to engage.
	About 10.01am, the helicopter fires on the van.
	This kills more men and also injures two children inside.
	So, after the attack, American ground forces arrive at the scene, to investigate of course, and they secure the area and they discover the wounded children in the van and they provide medical assistance and evacuate them.
	And then moving on to the 5th of April 2010, WikiLeaks released a video of this event showing all of this, entitled it Collateral Murder, which is what it was.
	They didn't intend to, you know, murder journalists that were there to document the conflict in Iraq.
	This was a mistake and This actually came from a disillusioned intelligence analyst, then going by Bradley Manning, now goes by Chelsea Manning, different story, but they were given a 35 year prison sentence and
	That I believe got pardoned by Obama, so they only served a small amount of it, which is also important because it informs the Julian Assange case, of course, the founder of WikiLeaks, the website which released it.
	And things like this, these sorts of things that governments want to keep from citizens, This is very, very important stuff, isn't it?
	Because Reuters had been trying to get access to the footage via Freedom of Information request since the incident happened in 2007 and they had not succeeded because, of course, the military didn't want to willingly publish their mistakes.
	And so this releasing actually helped the, you know, the families of the victims get a bit of closure as to what happened, as well as proper investigations into this happening.
	However, even with pressure from Reuters and the press, because of course it was a massive scandal, the military concluded that the actions of the soldiers were in accordance with the law of armed conflict and its own rules of engagement, which is not true really.
	Websites like WikiLeaks publish secret government documents to expose Government crimes, I think it's fair to say.
	I think it's uncontroversial to call this a crime.
	These are journalists.
	They didn't correctly identify weapons.
	That was camera equipment.
	None of the people seemed to be armed, in fact.
	Well, I suppose you can make the argument that if they were documenting the war crimes of the Iraq War, it would be a weapon against the American government.
	That is true, yeah.
	It's not caused them to fire on them, but there's a bitter irony there.
	Yeah, but the war in Iraq, which of course Britain was a part of as well, and many other countries as well, saw over 100,000 civilian casualties.
	And of course this wasn't all the US military, of course.
	There was an opposing side as well, which was probably far more indiscriminate.
	And of course there were cases as well of Australians and British soldiers Killing civilians too.
	But it is important to look at the cases and not bury them so we can improve upon that right because ideally you want war to be conducted as cleanly as possible.
	Of course it's not necessarily a perfect target to aspire to but one should still aspire to meet it.
	And I thought it'd be important to talk about who is Julian Assange and why did he set up WikiLeaks?
	Why is it important that this sort of work can be done without being pursued by the US government?
	Because that's what has ultimately happened to him.
	So he's an Australian citizen, he was born in 1971, he founded WikiLeaks in 2006 and in around April of 2010, as I touched on, they released this video of this helicopter which killed 11 Iraqi civilians and then Moving on, another month Wikileaks released 91,000 documents on the Afghanistan war and then shortly after this Assange, I believe, was living in Sweden.
	Swedish prosecutors issued and then withdrew, I'm not entirely sure why, An arrest warrant for Assange over a sexual assault allegation and we're going to revisit this later on down the line because it's quite often brought up in this case but I think there is a certain amount where you can separate the WikiLeaks work where it's other people submitting stuff to the website he created and Assange, the man, right?
	These are two separate entities and you can appreciate the work That goes on WikiLeaks without necessarily having to approve of the person.
	And so for some reason they reopened the investigation again in September of 2010 which prompts Assange to move to the UK and then WikiLeaks in October released 400,000 classified Iraq war files and then thousands of US diplomatic cables.
	I think that this might be the thing that really sealed the deal for the US going after them, right?
	The Swedish court again orders for Assange's arrest and he is arrested in the UK but freed on bail.
	He then breaks the conditions of his bail and the UK court in 2011 orders Assange to be extradited to Sweden which he appeals.
	He then gets asylum in an Ecuadorian embassy in London.
	The Ecuadorians wanted to basically put their middle finger up to the Americans It's just like, Americans are annoyed at this guy, so we're going to protect him as a sort of bargaining chip for our own needs.
	I think that's why they got involved here.
	But this was June of 2012.
	The Swedish court again wishes to uphold the arrest warrant in July of 2014, so he's been taking sort of asylum, if you will, in the embassy in London, the Ecuadorian embassy.
	He was there for a total of, I think, seven years.
	Some of the allegations were dropped in August of 2015 due to statute of limitations but there's still an investigation remaining.
	In October of 2015 the UK police and their 24-hour guard outside the embassy but they say they will still arrest him if he leaves and then moving on to May 2017
	The Swedish prosecutors discontinued the investigation into the embassy stay and then in April of 2019, this is where a lot of things start kicking off, he is arrested after he has his embassy stay revoked and there's lots of speculation as to why this happened.
	One of the more interesting ones was he was kind of difficult to stay with.
	Wasn't it rumoured that he refused to shower and therefore just smelled terrible?
	Yes.
	I've heard a similar thing.
	I can't confirm it but there are other people who have corroborated that account that he's, you know, not a fan of showering.
	So, you know, it's a bit unfortunate, isn't it?
	But it carries on.
	So he's sentenced for 50 weeks in prison for skipping bail in the UK and the Swedish prosecutors reopen investigation.
	However, he was sent to Belmarsh prison which
	is this, and this is infamous in the UK, he was also held there in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day, and he actually ended up serving 62 months rather than 50 weeks, and Belmarsh Prison is known for housing people like Abu Hamza, the Islamic hate preacher if you will, the Lee Rigby killers, the people who beheaded an English soldier, Charles Bronson, famed for the
	Tom Hardy movie about him and worst of all Tommy Robinson has been there as well.
	So yes this is a very infamous prison, it's known as one of the strictest and one of the most harsh in terms of conditions and so in June of 2019 the US formally requests Assange's extradition to face hacking and espionage charges.
	It's interesting that it took this long isn't it?
	It's curious but November of 2019, the Swedish prosecutors drop the investigation due to insufficient evidence, and then it carries on into 2020.
	The UK courts begin the extradition hearings, delayed by Covid, and then a UK judge rules against extradition to the US due to his mental health, which if you've been in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day for 62 months, one can imagine that's a very legitimate thing he's not putting on.
	So UK High Court then grants US permission to appeal this decision and then the UK High Court rules that the US assurances of fair treatment are sufficient to guarantee his extradition because that's one of the conditions for the UK to extradite someone to another country is that they're going to be tried in a humane fashion.
	And then the UK Supreme Court denies Assange's appeal against this and then in June of 2022
	The extradition again and then May of 23, Australian Prime Minister, I believe Anthony Albanese at that point, calls for his release because the Australians, of course him being an Australian national, were quite big on seeing him released because of course Australian citizenship would mean less if Australian citizens can be tried by foreign governments for conducting what amounts to journalism, right?
	The High Court said he cannot appeal his extradition after the intervention by the Australian Prime Minister and then it goes to February of this year, 2024.
	His lawyers launch a final legal bid to stop this extradition.
	It's their final attempts to be able to get away with it and then in March of 2024, the UK High Court requested further assurances from US authorities, which they could have given.
	They could have said, listen, we'll put these measures into effect that will guarantee that he has fair treatment.
	But they didn't do that, which is interesting.
	That seems like a choice by my mind for them not to do this.
	So by May of 2024, A UK judge allowed a new appeal on free speech grounds and that his citizenship of Australia complicates the jurisdictional authority of the United States' attempts to prosecute him.
	And then in June, you know, the start of this month, the US Justice Department proposed a deal which allowed Assange to walk free in exchange for a guilty plea on the Espionage Act charge.
	So yesterday, the 25th of June, He took an Australian private jet, because he's not allowed to fly commercially because of his alleged crimes, to Saipan, which is the capital of the Northern Mariana Islands, which is technically a US territory, but not mainland United States, of course, because he feared retribution from the authorities.
	And that is where he pled guilty to one charge of breaching the Espionage Act rather than the original 18 charges he faced.
	Because of the time he spent in Belmarsh Prison and the harsh treatment he faced, which is difficult to justify because he was a journalist, he wasn't a physical danger to people as many of the denizens of Belmarsh Prison normally are, They said that he will not face any jail time and after he pleads guilty he can be a free man.
	So he flew on to Canberra, the capital of Australia, and met his family, for the first time in a long time I imagine, and is supposedly able to live his life again.
	But this isn't necessarily the victory that it looks like because the condition of him being free was still that he had to plead guilty of reporting on the United States.
	Breaking laws, you know, killing innocent people, killing journalists and so this isn't necessarily the victory that it looks like because there are conditions to his freedom and he's still looking to get pardoned as well and here's WikiLeaks posting about him touching down in Australia and it's, you know, freedom flight and all that sort of stuff but I don't think it's quite as positive as that.
	So let's have a quick look at this sexual assault case.
	Ever so briefly the Telegraph did an article about the book that Anna Arden wrote, one of the accusers, there were two, and I'm just going to read a little bit from this because I'm going to read it directly, but one because I don't want to be Victim of, you know, a libel lawsuit, not alleging anything, but this is what it says.
	The book adds details to the accusations that led prosecutors to arrest Mr Assange in absentia following accusations of unlawful coercion and sexual harassment that Assange held her down roughly after they agreed to have consensual sex and then deliberately sabotaged a condom so he could ejaculate into her.
	When she first met him in their flat, Mr Assange Greets her, holding on to one of her bras.
	I've been looking through your underwear drawer, he says.
	I saw the size of this and thought, this is a woman I'd like to meet.
	And if this is true, of course, um, this is pretty creepy, um, immoral behavior, in my opinion.
	Um, but it carries on to say, in these days, um, in the days he stayed there, sorry, he never showers.
	So by the last day, the flat smells strongly of unwashed body, of dried in sweat, and there are turds floating in the toilet.
	Um, in this lady's flat.
	But apparently, after this event went on, she went to a party with him and tweeted about how much of a nice time she's having.
	This is my point of confusion.
	If he really is that disgusting, and there seems to be corroborating accounts suggesting that he doesn't shower, why would you consensually have sex with him?
	Funny enough, that's the next part of this article.
	Part of what makes Miss Arden's account interesting is that she includes new details that some say may give ammunition to her doubters.
	She was already considering sleeping with Mr Assange even before he made a clumsy pass, she says, partly because of his celebrity and partly to irritate her ex.
	And then this is a direct quote, it might be a pretty fun thing and no big deal to score with Julian Assange, she remembers thinking.
	Right.
	So she's thinking that after he's come with her underwear, saying that he's rooted through her underwear troll?
	Before.
	Before?
	And that was just the part that sealed the deal?
	Mm-hmm.
	Oh, okay.
	Apparently so.
	Apparently so.
	I have questions.
	Also, I will say from this account, it doesn't follow to me that simply because a man doesn't shower very often that he wouldn't know to flush the toilet.
	There's an element of Taking it the extra mile there.
	But of course, that's conjecture, speculation, subjective opinion on my part.
	Of course, but there were accounts from the Ecuadorian embassy that he was... Lacking in the personal hygiene department?
	He was interested in preserving water supplies, let's just say that.
	And after Josh's own heart.
	Excuse me, I shower every day.
	But I think one of the key questions here is why did this happen now?
	Obviously this has been going on since 2010, but Why has it taken 14 years and why specifically now?
	So the more sort of perfunctory explanation would be the involvement from the Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese of the Labour Party.
	He played a key part and there were lots of Australians that were very central in pushing for his freedom and obviously I, you know, give credit and you know he is a member of the Labour Party as well so It's rare for me to give credit but yeah, fair play on this matter, I think I agree with them and lots of the Australian campaigners that also were involved.
	Also that High Court decision in London which allowed Assange to appeal against being extradited to the US one final time, that was very central and I think it also Matches prevailing public opinion that most people actually supported his right to publish these documents and to expose these crimes.
	But from a more cynical perspective, and me being a cynical man, the one that I agree with more, The US has demonstrated that they can persecute journalists for publishing damaging information about them because he's been hounded since he published that in 2010.
	He's been having to live in an Ecuadorian embassy, he's having to travel around the world, he had to spend time in solitary confinement in one of the harshest prisons in Britain.
	These are not pleasant things, this will make journalists think twice before publishing this sort of thing and so they've already sort of achieved their aims already and There's also the fact that the information that Assange published and what Assange says could be regarded as damaging Biden's campaign and in the run-up to the November US election if they brought him to the US and tried him in the US that would be running alongside the US election and therefore that wouldn't look good for them because he'll be saying lots of damaging things about the Democrats.
	And Biden, and the Clintons, and Obama, and all of those sorts of people.
	The Trump camp for some time has said they will pardon Assange, so I understand that it was at the Libertarian Convention that Trump decided to gatecrash and steal the show at, that he said he would after he was questioned about it backstage by Tim Pool, but months before that His son Don Jr.
	had committed, I believe it was on Tim's show as well, to pardoning Assange because he had revealed such important and damning evidence about the Iraq War and the dubious actions of the Clintons on the world stage.
	So I think that only benefits the Trump campaign.
	I think by taking that off the table as something Trump can promise to do, the Biden administration thinks this is a low-cost way of ensuring he doesn't get voters on this one issue.
	And was it either you or Dan that said one of the terms of his plea deal was that he takes down the Clinton emails?
	That has been suggested.
	So I've seen screenshots circulating this morning, I remember it being reclipped by Aggregate Account and Wokeness, that on the WikiLeaks site I think lots of the Clinton emails are only accessible now via the archive.
	Many of the files have been removed and so there has been suggestion, not confirmation, suggestion, that part of the plea deal was to remove certain files from WikiLeaks.
	Yeah, so it is too early yet to be able to know for sure whether that has actually happened.
	So I don't want to, you know, give you misinformation and all that stuff.
	I hate that word now, by the way.
	It's been ruined.
	But there are some interesting things that are still present on there.
	So this is a screenshot from this.
	Oh, if I can move that out of the way.
	But Yes, WikiLeaks does run on donations, but this is an exchange from the 1st of February 2008 titled, Nyet means Nyet, Russians NATO enlargement red lines, and it's talking about something that Nigel Farage in the UK was talking about recently actually, and got in a lot of trouble for.
	Um, so this is very interesting.
	So it says, Ukraine and Georgia's NATO aspirations not only touch a raw nerve in Russia, they engender serious concerns about the consequences for stability in the region.
	Not only does Russia perceive encirclement and efforts to undermine Russia's influence in the region, but it also fears Unpredictable and uncontrolled consequences which would seriously affect Russian security interests.
	Experts tell us that Russia is particularly worried that the strong divisions in Ukraine over NATO membership with much of the ethnic Russian community against membership could lead to a major split involving violence or at worst civil war.
	In that eventuality Russia would have to decide whether to intervene, a decision Russia does not want to have to face.
	So that's interesting in and of itself but what's more interesting is who it came from.
	So this came from the now current director of the CIA, William J Burns, who then was the US ambassador to Russia.
	So that suggests that actually the US has been aware that this was a fault line since at least 2008.
	Well one of the ones that Farage has been referring to in lots of critics of the Ukraine war was the conversation between Mikhail Gorbachev and the then Secretary of State of the United States in 1994 when he said we won't move one inch further to the Russian border.
	I believe before the end of his life Gorbachev then said well this isn't on record there was no such conversation whereas the actual Secretary of State himself has said it.
	And so it seems to be this, the 1994 promise, in the Russian mind that America, through the expansion of EU and NATO membership, has reneged on that commitment, and therefore this is the justification that Putin and the like are giving for waging war in Ukraine.
	Yes, and these sorts of things being released to the public seems to back up this sort of assertion, doesn't it?
	Which lots of people have been getting in trouble for in the Western world, but actually does seem to be true based on these communications which have been confirmed as genuine.
	So now I've sort of laid it out all out on the table, what do you guys think of the whole case, the whole scenario?
	Have you got any particular thoughts about The persecution of Assange, you know, should we be defending him?
	Did he do good work?
	That sort of thing.
	I'm happy to have this information be more transparent, considering I think the Iraq and Afghanistan-like wars were utterly illegitimate and very shady.
	I think this isn't all the skeletons in the Clintons' closets.
	Especially with their affiliation with Jeffrey Epstein.
	I also would be interested to see what's going to happen with Edward Snowden, because obviously he's tied up in all this.
	The complicated part for regime optics is if they pardon Assange but not Snowden, because Snowden's currently in Russia, then it looks like they have an unwavering commitment to this kind of transparency.
	And I think even the Trump camp is going to get tripped up on that one.
	So I think that will be a trip wire they have to negotiate in the next few years.
	Well, you know me.
	I believe that we're ruled and I believe the evidence shows that we're ruled by an international criminal cabal and anything that hurts them or makes them sweat a little bit is a positive as far as I'm concerned.
	What happened to Assange is not something I'd really looked into so I'm very glad that you went through the case and what happened to him.
	I think it's terrible and I think the persecution, while understandable from a defensive perspective, was Awful, unnecessary, but for what it was trying to do it sent the message.
	And while I'm very very glad that he's now free, obviously what he went through is going to be sticking in the back of any journalist's mind who has integrity when they go to release anything that could put them in hot water.
	I think that that is a very important summary of this.
	I think this is going to actually set a sort of bar for prosecution of journalists the Western world over and it's actually quite a worrying thing.
	Sure he's free but at what cost?
	Right.
	Cracking on with the next part then.
	Sorry that went on so long.
	Don't apologise, it was very informative.
	We enjoy having you company, Josh.
	You've been here since the start and the audience enjoy watching you as well, don't sweat it.
	You make it sound like he's the guy who showed up last to the barbecue and he's feeling a bit awkward.
	He's there in the corner.
	No, Josh, we're grateful you're here.
	It's alright.
	Come on, join in.
	I bring the drinks to a barbecue.
	Well, I never want my friends to be apologetic for their presence, so there you go.
	Anyway, speaking of people who aren't our friends, well, I know that the media is obviously discredited as being unbiased at this point, there's no such thing as objective coverage, we're just more honest about our biases than the mainstream, but they really aren't doing a very good job of hiding it, are they?
	If you're confused what I'm referring to, on Thursday, this will be the 27th of June, 2024, The United States will see its first 24 election presidential debate and this will be hosted by none other than CNN, the most infamously antagonistic outlet to President Trump throughout the last nine years that he's been involved in presidential politics now.
	There's a rundown here from the New York Times which just provided an easy round-up, but the debate's hosted in Atlanta.
	It's starting at 9pm Eastern Time, so that's 2am UK time for us here in England, so we'll be watching that on catch-up, probably somewhere on Rumble or the like, because CNN has said that they'll be posting clips.
	So anything that looks particularly good for Trump I don't think they'll be clipping and promoting anywhere and of course they'll probably region lock it so we'll have to get it somewhere more reputable.
	What's quite interesting as well... So if they're only going to be posting stuff that's good for Biden and not Trump surely they'll just not broadcast any of it?
	Well, yeah, you would think that.
	So what's interesting as well is that Tim Pool via YouTube, YouTube via CNN, has received a warning saying that CNN is threatening any social channels, so YouTube and the like, that provide commentary on the debate stating they will not allow the use outside of CNN and obviously all of the other networks they're allowing to concurrently run it for free.
	Presumed commentary just means playing the video clip and reacting to it, right?
	No, just any talking about it.
	You're not allowed to do it live.
	So what's happened here and this is the reason I've brought this up for us as well because of course we've got totally bogus YouTube strikes before with complete ridiculous violations of their arbitrary code of conduct.
	If you put up clips of you talking about the clips, it will probably be taken down.
	Then you can contest it because talking about a presidential election is the epitome of fair use.
	But you want to beware of a bogus strike.
	But if you're live streaming it live on YouTube, they'll just take the stream down.
	And there's no point contesting it because the stream will be deleted.
	So just a warning to our content creator friends out there in case you're watching.
	Now, the most dastardly part about this debate, though, is that the two moderators are Jake Tappup and Dana Bash.
	If you're not familiar with them, they're two of CNN's primetime hosts.
	And I've got some clips of them later on to show just how terrible of a job I'm predicting they're going to do.
	But ahead of this, why would they need to run such damage control for Biden?
	As you suggested, well, the opinion polls aren't looking excellent.
	Let's recognize this comment for what it is, a longstanding anti-Semitic trope that CNN has tried something.
	Oh, we're already going straight there, aren't we?
	Yeah, well, there we go.
	Oh, no.
	I think the Elgato decided to screw up.
	Spoilers.
	But, um, how prophetic.
	Well, alright, here we go.
	So here are the general election polls, according to RealClearPolitics, and, ah.
	Ah, Trump is trouncing Biden by at least a point in the polling averages.
	Funny that, considering Biden was the most popular president of all time, including among black Americans in the middle of Detroit, more so than Obama.
	Very strange.
	I suppose 2024 will just be another Satan-secure election.
	Anyway, so let's look at the Biden approval rating, because I'm sure that that's just glowing.
	That might provide some insight into why Trump is leading him.
	Ah, Yeah, not great.
	I mean, his disapproval rating is currently at 55.6%.
	His approval rating is at 40.6%.
	So, if the polls have been believed, Biden's going to get a 1980s Reagan election-style spanking.
	Yeah.
	So, might be a reason why CNN are anxious to run interference.
	They've done a pre-debate write-up, and these are the issues that apparently everyone's concerned about.
	So this is due to Pew Research.
	So, you know, sort of gold standard opinion polling.
	Strengthen the economy is the chief concern of most voters.
	Defending against terrorism, as you've already covered, the southern border being utterly porous and allowing over a million people in every year.
	Turns out they're coming from, what is it, Tajikistan?
	Yes, that's right.
	Yeah, where there's a lot of terrorism, it turns out.
	Yeah, it's sort of Afghanistan, Tajikistan, all of those countries in that area are involved with ISIS-K in some measure.
	Do you want to know something fun that Biden's doing to deal with immigration, which as we can see is 57% on how many of these respondents said we want him to deal with immigration?
	Well Biden's decided that what he's going to do is allow undocumented spouses, undocumented spouses, to not have to worry about deportation, so presumably they'll just be given citizenship.
	So if you manage to sneak over the border and get married to anyone, to an Elvis impersonator maybe, Anyone.
	You're safe.
	You're alright.
	And they're predicting that's about 500,000 new Americans.
	Passport Bros voting for Biden en masse.
	I mean, again, lots of these issues are involved with immigration.
	Reducing the availability of illegal drugs.
	There's loads of fentanyl being trafficked over the southern border, particularly by the Chinese, who are now inexplicably flying over to the southern border and smuggling themselves across.
	Or reducing crime, for example.
	Reducing healthcare costs, which leads to a welfare burden.
	quite interesting that this is a very you know good list if you will if i had to sort of rank the priorities that u.s had to tackle with this is actually quite a a good ranking isn't it which is interesting for an opinion poll particularly on cnn well it's being hosted by cnn but obviously it came from pew oh okay so it does seem to suggest though that voters are actually quite aware of the problems in america which is important right
	Well hence the terrible approval ratings for Biden, the positive approval ratings for Trump.
	The other interesting graphs they've got in this article, considering the economy is the top concern for Biden, it's not really looking good when you look at, oh I don't know, inflation.
	So if you look there, Trump it turns out in 2019-2020 was actually a deflationary force.
	Prices were coming down because cheap and available and abundant energy that the Americas were exporting, good employment, decent business rates and the like.
	And then after 2020, oh look there, there's January 2021 when Biden is inaugurated and something happens where it skyrockets To 9% up there.
	I'm going to have to tip my fedora ever so slightly and say that Trump reduced the rate of inflation but he didn't actually deflate it because it didn't pass zero.
	Yes, he's a deflationary force on the rate of inflation but yes, valid point.
	But now the new normal itself is set with Joe Biden at 3.3% so if he's touting the fact that inflation's come down it's now sort of flatlining at at a steady rate of 3.3%.
	That doesn't mean prices are going down.
	That means things are just increasing slower than they were in 2021 and 2022, when Biden printed all of that money to pay for stimulus checks and the so-called Inflation Reduction Act.
	Just to confirm, the CPI doesn't take into account food, does it?
	I don't know about the United States.
	In this country, I know it doesn't take into account energy bills, house prices, and certain goods of food.
	Okay, yeah.
	I was wondering if it's the same in America, then.
	Their housing situation is slightly less worse, but it's worsening as well because of illegal migration as well.
	And then the other interesting one that's in here is unemployment.
	You know, it's there.
	There's a massive spike that Biden obviously says Trump unemployment is a record high.
	That's because of lockdowns.
	That's mainly because of Democrat states prolonging their lockdowns for a very long time.
	But then, as we can see, unemployment is actually ticking back up.
	And it's higher than it was during the Trump years.
	And now it's sitting at 4%.
	It's almost like all of those damaging regulations to the economy, sabotaging America's energy independence, importing millions of dependents, hasn't done great things for the job market.
	And if people are voting for the economy, I don't think it's going to go too well for Biden.
	So, America at a pretty fateful crossroads.
	So, let's think.
	CNN, are they going to conduct a Impartial?
	Dignified debate?
	Or are they going to absolutely lose their minds whenever someone suggests to the contrary?
	So this is...
	Caroline Leavitt, who's a Trump spokeswoman, she went on CNN, this was Monday, and Casey Hunt, who is the anchor here, invited her on to have a chat about what Trump's going to say during the debate, and the conversation lasted all of about 90 seconds.
	I'm just going to let this play out because you're not going to believe the level of blatant bias on display.
	... themselves as professionals as they have covered campaigns and interviewed candidates from all sides of the aisle.
	I'll also say that if you talk to analysts of debates previous that if you're attacking the moderators you're usually losing.
	So I really want to focus in on what these two men are going to do and say when they stand on the stage.
	Now we have a little bit of what Donald Trump, your boss, has said in trying to set expectations for this debate.
	I want to play some of a series of his comments and then We'll talk about it.
	Watch.
	Maybe I'm better off losing the debate.
	I'll make sure he says I'll lose the debate on purpose.
	Maybe I'll do something like that.
	I assume he's going to be somebody that will be a worthy debater.
	Should I be tough and nasty and just say you're the worst president in history?
	Or should I be nice and calm and let him speak?
	So he's basically saying there, well, will I let Joe Biden win?
	It does seem as though many Republicans have set the bar very low in terms of arguing that Joe Biden is basically senile.
	Now you have people like Doug Burgum coming out and saying, well, President Biden is very accomplished, trying to set expectations in a different place.
	What do you expect from Joe Biden?
	Well, first of all, it would take someone five minutes to Google Jake Tapper, Donald Trump, to see that Jake Tapper has consistently... Ma'am, we're going to stop this interview if you're going to keep attacking my colleagues.
	Ma'am, I'm going to stop this interview if you continue to attack my colleagues.
	I would like to talk about Joe Biden and Donald Trump, who you work for.
	Yes.
	If you are here to speak on his behalf, I am willing to have this conversation.
	I am stating facts that your colleagues have stated in the past.
	Now, as for this debate, the expectation for... Okay, I'm sorry guys, we're going to come back out to the panel.
	Caroline, thank you very much for your time.
	You are welcome to come back at any point.
	She is welcome to come back and speak about Donald Trump, and Donald Trump will have equal time to Joe Biden when they both join us now at next, early, later this week in Atlanta for this debate.
	Our thanks to Caroline.
	She looks like she's about to burst into tears.
	Show of great strength and confidence from her right there.
	I mean, good God.
	Although, I do agree that, yeah, the way to win the debate, don't say a word and let Biden go off the cuff for an hour and a half.
	Yeah, the more syllables he gets out, the faster his IV of stimulants runs out, and so he'll just be saying BADACAF CARE for the first 30 minutes.
	It's gonna be like a Norm Macdonald stand-up isn't it?
	Like on a talk show where it's just gonna be a great big long shaggy dog story as they're called.
	No one knows what's going on.
	To be fair, do you reckon if you let Biden speak unmedicated off the cuff for long enough he would end up accidentally just spilling state secrets?
	I think he'll revert back to sort of like 60s to 80s Joe Biden and saying exactly what he thinks of corn pop.
	And that wouldn't be good for the black voting demographic, let's be honest.
	But I think this was really interesting.
	Oh let it happen, that would be an event!
	Yeah, well he already did say that if you don't vote for Joe Biden you ain't black, so I think he sort of crossed that trip wire a little bit.
	I thought this was quite an interesting clip, not just because we all know that these media institutions are horrifically biased and are mouthpieces for the regime, the warmongering establishment that infects both parties, as we've seen with the recent WikiLeaks case,
	But I thought this was really interesting because she is so bad at her job, she's on the precipice of falling into tears, because if anyone's sat in a newsroom before, anytime, and I couldn't do broadcast TV for this reason, anytime you're a presenter, you've got a little earpiece, and it's actually back to the production booth, so you can, between breaks, talk about what's next in the news bulletin, how long you've got until you're introing the next show, etc.
	But sometimes overzealous producers who want a control over what is said on the show will be shouting in your ear and telling you to hurry up and move on and I think she was getting a bollocking from the people who are working at the news desk saying shut this down quickly because we don't want to ahead of the debate be seen as horrifically biased and tampering with the election.
	I think that she was buckling under pressure because she was getting shouted at by some producer who's going control the narrative quickly kick her off the air etc and it just makes it look Even worse than it already needed to.
	I think it's pretty embarrassing.
	Now, so, she decides to come out and, uh... Let's recognize this comment.
	Oh, just doing it again.
	Something's happening, there's a ghost in the machine, and she sabotages you on the stream.
	It's like busting through the wall like the Kool-Aid man.
	So she decides to defend her conduct here, and she says, you come on my show, you respect my colleagues, period, I don't care what side of the aisle you stand on.
	Sure you don't.
	As my track record clearly shows.
	That's interesting.
	You don't care about what side of the aisle you stand on as your track record clearly shows.
	Well, let's see her track record, shall we?
	There was a response to this, of course, because this became a little bit of a scandal in the US political sphere.
	And the Politico got a statement from both parties.
	In a statement to Politico, leave it, the Trump spokeswoman said that the debate will be a 3v1 fight, of course.
	CNN cutting my microphone off for bringing up a debate moderator's history of anti-Trump lies just proves our point that President Trump will not be treated fairly in Thursday's debate.
	Yes, but yet President Trump is still willing to go into this 3v1 fight to bring his winning message to the American people and he will win.
	CNN did their boring retort saying that Bash and Tapper are well-respected veteran journalists and have extensive experience moderating major political debates.
	There are no two people better equipped to co-moderate a substantial and fact-based discussion and we look forward to the debate on June the 27th in Atlanta.
	CNN evaluates themselves conclude we're brilliant.
	Yeah, quite.
	I did some evaluation of my own and I don't think they're quite vidiant.
	So again, remember Casey Hunt's words.
	As my track record shows, she doesn't care what side of the aisle you stand on.
	Unless you're Rand Paul, in which case she's kind of gleeful that a near-lethal attack was done against you.
	Let's just play this old clip.
	New details today on the incident that left Senator Rand Paul with six broken ribs.
	This might be one of my favorite stories, although of course we don't want it.
	Clearly Senator Paul is still struggling.
	Paul's neighbor Renee Boucher is accused of beating the senator and GQ reports that lawn care issues may well have been at the heart.
	You can tell she immediately regretted saying that.
	She was like, oh, that slipped out.
	The mask slipped.
	Absolutely.
	And then she couldn't even walk it back properly.
	Obviously, we don't want to anyway.
	It's like the distancing itself was forced.
	The I'm really glad he was harmed was organic.
	If you want the details on this story, it was pretty horrific, actually.
	So Rand Paul's neighbor.
	He took the man to court.
	He was awarded $375,000 in punitive damages, $200,000 for pain and suffering and $7,834 for medical expenses after Rene Bouchot, 60, tackled Paul in November of 2017 over what he alleges was a dispute concerning Senator Paul's lawnmower blowing leaves onto his grass.
	So that's a rational response.
	He got into a debate with Rand Paul about property rights.
	And decided to tackle him to the ground and break his ribs, yeah?
	Yeah, well, he couldn't win legitimately, that's for sure.
	No, no, like most of Rand Paul's Senate colleagues.
	Rand Paul responded, We need to send a clear message that violence is not the answer.
	Any time, anywhere, we can hold different views, whether it's politics, religion or day-to-day matters.
	Butcher himself said the attack was not politically motivated.
	The court denied his appeal.
	This was the same attack Rand Paul suffered that, I believe it was Nancy Pelosi's daughter celebrated in a tweet and then quickly deleted as well.
	So, If there's any doubt that the Democrat machine wishes harm on the patriotic populist Republicans like Rand Paul or Donald Trump or Matt Gaetz, there shouldn't be because they would sooner see you dead than happy.
	Just remember this bit.
	Now, it's not just Paul as well.
	This whole climate of attacks has been inflicted on Paul Stauffer.
	And this is actually a story that's quite close to my heart because the guy that ended up helping save him is one of my good friends Chris from university, which is very, very strange.
	But Rand Paul Stauffer was nearly stabbed to death last year.
	This is Phil Todd, He was stabbed outside a Mexican restaurant in March 2023 by Glenn Neal, who was arrested by police and charged with assault and attempt to kill.
	Neal had just been let out of prison, one day prior to the stabbing.
	Neal was previously sentenced to 12 years and four months in prison in 2011 for forcing a woman into prostitution and threatening to kidnap or injure a person.
	Neal told officers he heard a voice telling him that someone was going to get him right before he launched the attack, according to court documents obtained by the AP.
	The attacker is, as expected, a New York Post euphemism.
	Now, of course, she, the Casey Hunt, didn't wish this attack on Phil, but her station was celebrating the 2020 riots as a summer of love, as Chris Cuomo had said, show me in the constitution where it said riots need to be peaceful, and so all of the defunding the police and open prison policies that flowed thereon have let nut cases like this out on the street.
	Not excellent, is it?
	It doesn't seem politically motivated, but it's still enabled by the kind of politics spread by CNN.
	Well, I think the political motivation, like you're pointing out there, is that you allow these incredibly lax laws to happen basically with the hopes that the people who are getting let out of prison eventually sow chaos, which will mainly affect your enemies, because your enemies are law-abiding people who maybe aren't on the same rung of the social ladder as you to live in gated communities where you can avoid all Exactly this.
	This is classic anarcho-tyranny as I've covered on my show on the website with excellent author Oron McIntyre and friend of the show.
	There's a quote here from Chris actually who helped him out and he said, We were just suddenly lunged at by the guy who was hiding behind the wall and he started stabbing Todd.
	Out of nowhere, he didn't ask for anything, he didn't say anything, he just started stabbing him.
	Phil was a close friend, an absolute champ and he was able to run despite being stabbed in the head, having a skull fracture and brain bleeding and a punctured lung.
	So it just shows the resilience of people working in Paul's office compared to their wet Democrat counterparts.
	So Senator Paul?
	Almost killed.
	Staffer?
	Almost killed.
	Yet Casey Hunt seems to be celebrating that climate, or at least enabling it with her politics.
	So what about the two moderators themselves?
	Okay, so Casey Hunt trying to run damage control for this.
	She's got egg on her face.
	It could be possible that Jake Tapper and Dana Bash are very impartial, they're going to give Trump a fair hearing, I mean, they're Pulitzer Prize winning journalists after all.
	I have my doubts though, because as Jack Posobiec has compiled, here's Jake Tapper's thoughts on President Trump.
	The dehumanizing rhetoric of Adolf Hitler is once again alive and well on a national political stage.
	This time, of course, in the United States.
	Donald Trump, a couple times over the weekend, referred to immigrants from South America, Africa, and Asia.
	He did not mention Europe.
	South America, Africa, and Asia as, quote, poisoning the blood of our country, which It's not hyperbole.
	That does very directly echo Adolf Hitler's language before World War II.
	If you were to open up a copy of Hitler's Mein Kampf, you would find the Nazi leader describing the mixing of non-Germans with Germans as poisoning.
	There's really no other way to say it.
	Donald Trump's language mirrors this directly.
	Yeah, I have my doubts that he's going to be super fair to Trump there.
	It's just, again... When are those network broadcasts from?
	Is this from this...?
	2023.
	Oh, 2023.
	Okay, right.
	- 2023. - Oh, 2023.
	But, okay, right.
	But there was four years of Trump presidency And I don't... maybe the press hid it.
	Maybe CNN was on his side during that, but I don't remember any grand Mexican genocides or anything.
	He might have been just slow on constructing the death camps.
	Maybe it's that.
	That's what the wall was supposed to be.
	An enormous meat grinder as they try and get through.
	I don't remember the immigration crisis in mid-century Germany either.
	Where are the parallels exactly?
	Aren't they different things?
	Here's the parallels.
	Adolf Hitler say meanie words, Big Bad Trump also say meanie words.
	That's very profound, thank you Harry.
	Therefore, exact same.
	Yeah, I think there's a marginal difference in policy from expelling illegal immigrants trying to break into the country and preventing any Jews from leaving the country because you want to kill them.
	Also, slightly insulting again my I don't like playing the intersectional game but it's just a nonsense accusation when Trump has Jewish grandchildren.
	It's just so boring and tiresome.
	I always forget that.
	That's really- Jerry Kushner's his son-in-law.
	I think he was the most pro-Israel president of our lifetimes.
	Criticize him for that if you like.
	Even Rabbi Shmuley loves Trump because of how pro-Israel he was and Rabbi Shmuley is an absolute nutjob.
	Please don't sue me.
	He is very fond of accusing people of Being like Adolf Hitler, yeah.
	So the fact that he hasn't levelled that charge at Trump, I suppose, speaks volumes.
	But okay, maybe Dana Bash is going to be fairer.
	Maybe there's a good cop, bad cop here.
	You certainly haven't been listening to a preface of what she's going to be saying throughout this podcast with all the tech issues, but I'll just let her speak for herself.
	for what it is, a longstanding anti-Semitic trope that the true allegiance for Jews is to their religion rather than their country.
	It was used in Nazi Germany to justify the arrests, persecutions and mass killings, attempted extermination of the Jewish people.
	And Trump has been pushing this trope for years.
	He talks about the blood of America is being poisoned.
	Echoing the same exact language used in Nazi Germany.
	That's the most coherent sentence Biden's ever given.
	Do you remember that scene at the beginning of Austin Powers when he's unfrozen and he can't control the volume of his voice?
	That's what Biden reminded me of.
	I actually got that same thought, yeah.
	I just, I'm so exhausted and bored by the constant invocation of Godwin's law.
	By Godwin himself, he wrote an article in the Washington Post accusing Donald Trump of being like Adolf Hitler, so it's just a farcical.
	Not everything is directly comparable to the moustache man from the 1930s in Germany.
	There are remarkable differences and actually having a preference for your own culture, country, countrymen and history does not mean you're going to resurrect the guard towers of Auschwitz.
	So the CNN debate is going to be an absolute farce.
	I look forward to the clips.
	I look forward to Trump trouncing them again like he did at the town hall and I hope this doesn't wash with the American people who are facing horrendous immigration and inflation rates.
	So, Tapper and Bash, by the way, sounds like a weird caveman double axe, doesn't it?
	Sounds like a really bad body cop movie.
	It does, yeah.
	I just like the idea that anything that the Nazis ever did, automatically, if you do it, you're also evil.
	Like, what, you want to build a motorway system?
	Nazi.
	Do you know that they planted flowers in factories?
	Same exact same thing.
	Yeah, great minds.
	If you want affordable housing, you're literally Hitler.
	I mean, you could throw that one easily, couldn't you?
	You want to control inflation?
	They're not going to trot that one out are they?
	No, well in that way we can't compare them at all.
	Anyway, so the left has been trying their hardest, their damnedest, to try and collect some scouts recently.
	There's been a few doxings.
	There's been the hope not hate reports about some of our own members.
	Some of you, which mainly just to be honest, used you sat there while I said things as the ammunition to be.
	They really couldn't smear me with much.
	I'm pretty reasonable chap.
	He sits next to Harry Robinson, evil, far right fascist, while he says perfectly reasonable things and doesn't disagree with him.
	God forbid that we create voting blocs with their own national interest at heart.
	It's not like we've been actively importing fifth columns into Britain to do that.
	Well now they've got you.
	We'll wait until the second report comes out, Conor, they've got you now.
	Fantastic, I'll print that out and wipe my arse with it as well.
	Yeah, so there was also the recent doxing of Loméz, who turned out to just be a good, normal person, as most of the people on our side do, to be perfectly honest.
	And there's been a recent one, which is RawEggNationalist, friend of the show, who has actually written for Islander Magazine, which again, if you've not got a copy pre-ordered yet, you're already too late, you're far too homosexual for it, or maybe not homosexual enough.
	We're still out on that one.
	We're trying to figure it out.
	Weird marketing strategy, but okay.
	Whichever floats your boat, really.
	You like bumming?
	Buy our magazine.
	You don't like bumming?
	Maybe also buy our magazine and see what you find in there.
	Yeah, and there's been lots of this.
	You can go back and Rorag Nationalist is mentioned in stuff like this from the SPLC, another reputable source of objective journalism and objective information.
	NGOs the world over look to the SPLC and say, that's what we want to be.
	When this one back in the day, 2022, white nationalist book publishers revealed that is Antelope Hill.
	Since 2020, Antelope Hill.
	Have we worked with them?
	I don't know.
	I don't think so.
	Well, they published Miles' book.
	They published Roreg Nationalist's book.
	They also published books from people like Scott Howard, who did the Transgender Industrial Complex, which is a really useful resource for anybody who wants to understand where the money is going in that big industry.
	But they also, because there is a market for it, because it's really difficult to find those books for anybody curious about, you know, learning about history anywhere, they also are one of the few places, as they point out here, that publishes books and tracts and speeches by Nazis and fascists.
	So publishing the Obviously means that you agree with everything that is said in it, which is why Amazon is one of the greatest collectors of Nazi fiction ever, and why they are.
	Jeff Bezos is clearly Hitler 2.0.
	I was just about to say that.
	It's also worth mentioning it's not the only thing they publish as well.
	You know, they publish lots of things.
	Zeroing in on one thing.
	It's the same as Amazon, really.
	It's just like, oh, well, you've published Mein Kampf, Amazon.
	What's going on, Bezos?
	Penguin Random House published Matt Goodwin, Jordan Peterson, and Communist Manifesto all together.
	I'm sure that's a coherent belief system.
	Yeah, they've just got a really complex ideology.
	You just don't, you don't get it yet.
	But he's mentioned in here, they also mentioned that again, you can get Antelope Hill books using Amazon.
	So again, I guess Amazon is also in on this neo-Nazi conspiracy that Antelope Hill is, they're like the tentacles, they've got their claws everywhere across the world.
	They doxxed the people behind this.
	I can't say what the beliefs of these people are, whether they do agree with some of the books or not that they publish.
	Interestingly, one in this article is described as calling herself a tradcath, so I don't know if that exactly lines up with Adolf Hitler's belief systems.
	No, not considering his treatment of the Catholic priests off the Reichskonkordat.
	I mean, that should be enough to put any patriotic Catholic off of wanting to larp as a 1930s German.
	No, but of course what the main thing is is that they love to go about and they love to track down anonymous people, anonymous individuals, anonymous businesses, because of course in some states in America you don't have to give all of your information over if you want to just be a book publisher, especially if the books that you're publishing go against the political grain, but they just want to get your name out there so that preferably you can be shunted from society.
	Well it's intimidation tactics, isn't it?
	Of course.
	They're just trying to disincentivise people sharing things that they don't like.
	Because it's not necessarily about the books they're actually naming, it's about the contemporary politics ones that are being written, ultimately.
	They also don't give their exact addresses, but they give the towns in which they live.
	So it's like, oh, if you just prowl around on any given day, local Antifa chapter, you might just run into them and have a polite conversation about their publishing.
	Also, here's a photograph of them as well.
	You know, that's- it's these scummy tactics that they always use and then they try and hide behind some kind of veil of journalistic integrity.
	No, no, no.
	As a seeker of truth, it was my job to try and ruin this person's life who just wanted to publish a few books I disagree with.
	And again, Roarick Nationalist is mentioned in here.
	There's a lot of soy raging going on about some appearances that he did, for instance, in the Return of Masculinity Tucker Carlson documentary that he did with Fox News.
	Which, to be fair, does include some very amusing images like this one.
	But to be fair, if you look at this man, he is living his best life.
	Who are we to say no to this?
	To be fair, let's be honest, right?
	If this guy had a rainbow flag painted on his chest, Rolling Stone would be celebrating this guy.
	They'd be making murals of him, but it's the fact that he's saying, hey, you can be a manly man.
	Also, Tanya Paul.
	This is me anytime I post an absolute banger and turn them the notifications off and just leave it.
	This isn't more of a meme, to be honest, but you can feel the seething when they mention raw egg nationalists' involvement in this, because of course, raw egg nationalists, he has some funny dietary advice that I've never tried myself, but you know, if you want to go and try and if he wants to advocate it, fair play, you've absolutely got the right to, where they complain that, oh, he complains about soy globalism, and apparently the solution is chugging a lot of raw eggs.
	Maybe, maybe not.
	I don't know, try it yourself.
	Try drinking soy milk for your hormonal balance if you're a man, that's for sure.
	The End of Men provides insight into the kind of online spaces and characters from which Carlson and his team are sourcing their grievance fodder.
	Interestingly enough as well, Carlson recently did an interview with Steve Saylor, so you can tell that this is kind of where Carlson was ramping up for in Fox News, so it's a shame that he couldn't do it with them, but to be fair he's got probably a bigger platform now through his Twitter videos and YouTube channel, doesn't he?
	One account stands out amongst the rest, RawEggNationalist, who describes the enemy as soy globalism which seeks to control communities by sickening them through food.
	Well, as you just referenced there...
	No lies detected.
	Well, I mean, even the microplastics that are present in many of our foods, um, eventually break down and produce... Don't remind me of the microplastics, Josh.
	That's been on my mind.
	...produce estrogen.
	I've been avoiding drinking plastic.
	It's filtered water.
	That's my life.
	I've been doing this for ages.
	I don't drink tap water, no plastic underwear, uh, any, hay fever medication actually lowers your testosterone as well.
	That's something you released a while ago.
	Yeah.
	Harry, I did think you were looking... It took an empty histamine before this!
	I can tell your tits are growing.
	And as I mentioned, Lomez was doxxed recently as well, and Wren actually had a substack about this.
	What was I doing?
	This is the least unattractive Guardian Jonas, according to Wren, and he mentions in here, one funny how our guys keep turning out to be handsome, successful chads, and our enemies, who aren't forced to hide their appearance or any other aspect of themselves, are hideous crepuscular goblins, isn't it?
	But he also goes on to mention what the tactics are in this and how the Guardian article which went on to expose Lomaz as being a normal person, how dare he, went through this incredible list of all of the journalistic tactics I went through.
	He was court records.
	I went through all of these civil council records to find him.
	When Ren points out that probably what actually happened is that you got some backdoor on some social media or company who gave you his email address or something like that.
	Did you watch Lomas' episode with Orin McIntyre?
	No, I didn't.
	He has investigating whether or not it was someone like Saurabh Amari who leaked his identity after he posted the infamous Longhouse article.
	article to First Things, because apparently about a week before this was posted, there were whispers around the First Things office of his identity.
	Really?
	Well, that just goes to show how deep these people are on the inside, and also again, how invested these people are in actually revealing their identities.
	And right off the heels of that, we get this.
	From Hope Not Hate, Roar Egg Nationalist himself has been exposed.
	Now, Ren himself has gone on to confirm some of the information in here, so I'm not going to dance around his name or anything like that, so please understand I'm not doing this to disrespect him.
	But it is interesting, the response and what's going on here, and the information that's been revealed.
	They're absolutely raging about the fact that he's a far-right bodybuilder who champions masculinity.
	They mentioned the soy globalist quote that he gave for Tucker Carlson and they quote it in full where he says, The globalists want you to be fat, sick, depressed and isolated.
	The better to control you and milk you for as much economic value as they can before they kill you.
	That's soy globalism in a nutshell.
	Now, Hope Not Hate have an incredible and big, wrinkly-brained answer to this, a counter-argument, okay?
	You ready for it?
	But, if everyone's fat, ill and depressed, they won't work as much, and they won't make as much money for globalists milking them for economic value.
	Pensions.
	That's untrue, because Hope Not Hate gets large amounts of subsidies from the Home Office, and having seen the employees of Hope Not Hate, like Nick Lowles or Matthew Collins, yeah, you are fat, dysgenic-looking freaks.
	Yeah.
	And then there's also the fact that goes unaddressed by hope not hate that all money in a fiat system like we live in is fake.
	All of our money is fake, all of it is a debt farm for central banks and all of the politicians who support them, and when you've got things like potential universal incomes coming into places like Scotland, well yeah, if the money's fake, and the purpose of putting it out is just so that you can get it paid back to you in interest anyway, then circulating the money, get people to stop working, give them money so they'll keep buying your random shit that you're selling them, yeah, if you're fat, Depressed.
	Gooning.
	Gooning.
	Low impulse control.
	That's an even better farm for all this.
	You're a model consumer, aren't you?
	Yeah, exactly.
	So that's... These people obviously don't really know how to contend with the arguments, which is why what they do is they turn around and say, well, I'll just reveal your identity and get you beaten up in the street instead.
	Potentially, not saying that that's what they're actually doing.
	I don't know if I would be held liable for that, but that certainly could be a result of revealing somebody's identity.
	So, it turns out that Rorik Nationalist is a guy called Charles Cornish Dale, a former academic in his mid-thirties who studied history at Cambridge and Oxford and lives with his mum in a small village in South Dorset.
	Now, they say he lives with his mum, they don't actually really confirm anything, but they say it appears like he lives at his childhood home.
	Yeah.
	oh, the house price is inflated by mass migration for anyone 18 to 35 is still with their parents.
	So not shocking.
	Two, he's a regime dissident.
	So it's actually hard to get the kind of sponsorship money that hope not hate get from the conservative home office.
	And three, we also don't know any details about his mum.
	She could be unwell, yeah.
	That's what I'm saying.
	I haven't asked, I've spoken to Ren this week because I said, trustworthy physiognomy, you're fine, bro.
	But I didn't pry into his private life because I have some dignity.
	But if she is unwell, he will be caring for her, you sick freaks.
	Yeah, there's a lot of points to be made about that.
	And they also post this one picture of him, which I'll be getting back to because they point out here we could only find out one photo of Cornish Dale online taken in 2009.
	Excuse me, when an essay he wrote for his undergraduate degree got an honourable mention from the Royal Historical Society's History Today Pride.
	So, I mean, that's pretty impressive that he was being recognised like that.
	And if he's in his mid-30s, 15 years ago, maybe late teenager, maybe early 20s.
	So that's pretty impressive for that kind of age to be being recognised in that way.
	It's also worth mentioning as well that when you're at university you can't exactly have a bodybuilder's diet, right?
	You know, it's difficult to have food.
	It certainly was for me.
	You can be in shape and he doesn't exactly look like... I mean, judging by his face back then he doesn't look like he was out of shape or anything.
	No, of course not.
	But by the time you're in your mid-thirties, you've got a lot of time to build on a lot of muscle by that point, because there's some criticisms of all of this and some attacks on Rorik Nashless' character, which has been going on from the right, which we will be addressing in a moment, which wants to say that he's a fraud and he's not actually a big, muscly man.
	Also, he doesn't even have blonde hair and blue eyes and pale, pale skin, so he's a fraud.
	Did you see him post-physique?
	Yes, I did see him post physique.
	He's in great shape.
	I mean, once again, he's advocating that you can live the sort of lifestyle that can get you a natural physique, a natural bodybuilding physique from the 50s, and it seems to be what he has.
	But anyway, they say at the bottom of this article, Hope Not Hate decided to name Cornish Dale as the man behind the pseudonym due to his growing reach and increasingly extreme rhetoric, because as you can see here, he posts memes saying, hey, why don't we lock up prisoners?
	Hey, why don't we?
	Oh wait, no, there was this one as well, which was quite funny.
	You know, typical American white nationalist.
	Yes.
	Mexican.
	They're always Mexican.
	He reposted this because obviously he must be a Nazi, not because this is always a hilarious thing to find.
	And also, don't you understand?
	I love those memes.
	He posts Jimmy Dore memes.
	I didn't realize this was Jimmy Dore.
	I didn't either for a long time.
	It weirds me out that some guy at a petrol station must have spotted Jimmy Dore filling up his car and took a photo.
	Smoking a cigarette as well.
	It looks like Lawrence Fox dressed as Hunter Biden.
	He does look like the midpoint of an 80s thriller film where you're being tracked down by the killer robot.
	He looks like John Connor.
	There could be killer robots here, Harry.
	I hate killer robots.
	He looks a bit like Kyle Reese from the first Terminator picture.
	Which is fair, you know, that's a compliment Jimmy, you can take that one.
	But they carry on saying, anyone is free to create an account anonymously on Twitter and some will be able to reach as far into the mainstream media as most named commentators as Cornishdale has boasted.
	But!
	But, while we grant you have the right to do that, I, Nick Lowles, am a screeching soy boy who disagrees with all of your opinions and realize that I am not a masculine man, I am a weak, pathetic potato man, and therefore I must try to ruin your life.
	It's unacceptable to use that platform to incite hatred and violent rhetoric, unless it's our hatred and our violent rhetoric, against others.
	So, you know, typical smear job, typical... Well, the thing is, actually, it's not even really much of a smear job, because...
	Other than saying, OMG, he posts memes and he also publishes books that say, hey, why don't you get into shape?
	They can't really do anything to make him sound like anything other than a decent and intelligent bloke.
	Same with me.
	These smear pieces just don't land anymore.
	It's pathetic.
	And that's the interesting point, is that there was a recent article published by the Atlantic, the far-right's new badge of honor, extremist influencers no longer need to preserve their anonymity at all costs, where they're complaining.
	They're complaining that we keep doxing them, they keep turning out to be pretty handsome, normal guys, often with families or family commitments, which are quite wholesome.
	Why can't we have power over them anymore?
	And also, they're realizing that the bigger these accounts are, So, Raw Egg Nationalist, I think, has, what, over 200,000 subscribers?
	By the point they reach that size, if you reveal their identity, they actually already have enough clout to fall back on.
	It doesn't have to ruin their lives, they've already got enough supporters that they'll go, oh, okay, we know who you are now, keep up the good work.
	And in fact, it can actually help to boost their profile.
	So I think the left is probably going to start read adjusting their tactics for these larger accounts.
	But of course, that doesn't stop doxing from being a very serious issue for smaller profile people who are much more vulnerable.
	It is worth mentioning that Hope Not Hate's faff about the interview you did with Liz Truss, that just helped get more attention to us.
	It didn't actually damage us in any way and in fact, you know, it probably helped make it the in thing in the news for a little while didn't it?
	Well the news actively misrepresented it as did multiple Labour candidates because they were briefed incorrectly by Hope Not Hate so they should be apologising and retracting for that but in terms of actual revenue or people having their curiosity piqued by just listening to what Liz said for herself rather than reading the Hope Not Hate write-up yeah no it didn't damage that at all it's now the most popular video on the website so thanks Hope Not Hate for paying a subscription we know you're watching get down the gym you're hideous
	So either Hope Not Hate are actually our secret biggest supporters, and want to boost us, or they're applying these tactics that used to work and realising that they just don't.
	So the funny thing is, they would have paid money to get behind the paywall to watch, so they were, if they refer to us as hate, they are explicitly funding hate.
	It's a tax rebate because the Home Office keep giving them hundreds of thousands.
	That's true, yeah.
	Now are we ready for the dumb stuff?
	Yeah, go on then.
	Are we ready for the brain-melting, drool-inducing rubbish that's been going on as a result of this?
	Is this all the groip posting I've been seeing all over?
	Yeah, it's the groipers.
	It's the groipers.
	Now, I'm gonna temper this first one by saying...
	Keith Woods, I actually quite like.
	He's done some really great work when it comes to the Irish nationalism, pointing out some of the stuff to do with Irish hate speech laws, which you have used in the past when you've spoken about it.
	Yeah.
	And he also did a recent interview with Lauren Chen on her channel, which was quite interesting as well.
	But this is stupid.
	This is stupid.
	RawEggNationalist posted this picture confirming his identity, because this is a picture that Roar Egg Nationalist posted of himself on his Twitter.
	As you can see, he's grown quite a bit from the 15-year-old photo that they were using in the Hope Not Hate article, this one here.
	So you can see, obviously, you know, pretty normal-looking young man there.
	Now...
	The meme war ages us all.
	Yeah the meme war does but I think he's weathered it quite well and he's also wearing baggy clothes which meant that a lot of people went OMG he's not actually ripped like he said he was.
	It's a bit rich coming from Hadith Woods because he's got He's got elbow physiognomy.
	Have you seen him?
	Like, he's all sinew.
	He's all skin and bones.
	Also, yeah, about the whole A-10 Aryan thing.
	Yeah, you cavort with Islamists just because you have an obsession with Jews.
	You don't need to take that Hobson's Choice, my friend.
	It's pathetic.
	But, I mean, the thing with this is that there's a certain level of dishonesty going into these kinds of critiques, especially with that whole real A-10 Aryan men of spirit thing.
	And also, there is the one criticism, this is the same guy who published modelling photos of a transvestite in his Man's World magazine, by the way.
	Now I'm not going to say that that was entirely as Royd Nationalist says but when he addressed it he said that it was a photo that was recommended to him by some assistant or somebody else and he just went along with it because he didn't know who was in the picture.
	That transvestite in question hangs around the red scare scene which is very popular in New York so the kind of people that it's a sort of nexus for the racist art hose and this sort of stuff and so someone passed it along and didn't give him the correct information it ended up there he's not trying to program you.
	Yeah.
	But again, people have picked up on all of this and started posting this.
	15-year-old photo of him, not acknowledging that it's a 15-year-old photo, superimposed over this old tweet of his where he says, you will never be a real A10 Aryan.
	And this was in response to a tweet that was made where somebody pointed out that this woman with brown eyes had some cosmetic surgery to take them really blue, so he posted a copypasta.
	And the copypasta is making fun of the iChart meme, which is not actually serious.
	It's having fun with it, right?
	It's having fun with it, but now they're treating it like he was pretending to be an A10 Aryan all the time.
	And don't you understand?
	He might actually... He might be Libyan!
	He's an immigrant from Libya!
	Reading comprehension might be a skill that I understand that Mexicans on Mexican groipers haven't got around with yet.
	What is being said here is that his mum grew up in Libya, she's not North African, had to leave when Gaddafi came to power.
	Now the context for this is that his grandfather was in the RAF stationed over there, because Gaddafi kicked him all out, right?
	These people have dishonestly said, well he's obviously a Libyan immigrant then, also Jewish.
	Also, he's just... Was it you that made this comparison, first of all?
	It's like, Fuentes' fans, no matter what you think of the man, act like Julius Streicher, the lowest IQ member of the Nazi upper brass.
	It's really funny when you read accounts of, say, Nuremberg, and you read that Julius Streicher was noting down in his personal diary the whole that he was seething looking at everybody in the stands just going, this person must be Jewish, this person must be Jewish, this must... He was wrong about every Every single one of them.
	All of the prosecutors.
	My prosecutor, he must be Jewish.
	Wrong.
	The judge must be Jewish.
	Wrong.
	That's what these people act like.
	And it's either because they think that Gaddafi expelled Jews.
	He also expelled the Brits.
	Or, I saw the other one was that back in November, Wren said, hey, just because you may not be a supporter of the Israeli government and Netanyahu's cabinet, doesn't mean you have to be a foaming at the mouth supporter of Hamas.
	Yeah, you don't.
	These people took that very personally, okay?
	And also then there's just the fact that people are saying, OMG he's swarthy so he must be foreign, right?
	Josh is our resident expert.
	Yeah, I've had my genetics tested.
	I'm disproportionately British.
	The most The most foreign thing I have in me is like Norwegian, I've got a little bit of German, and a touch of French.
	Just very small percentages.
	But the vast majority of it is British Isles, right?
	And you're from Devon?
	Yes.
	His middle name, and I'm not saying that means he's from that part of the world, he is Cornish, so it might well be that he's just- That's it?
	His name's Cornish Dale.
	Oh right, I thought you said my middle name is Cornish.
	Yeah, so it might well be that he's from the same region as you are.
	Also, this is a Scottish man.
	Scottish men can even look like this.
	Tom Jones?
	Average Welsh woman.
	People thought was Mexican after watching Zorro.
	Understandable, but we can just be very swarthy.
	My dad is actually really swarthy.
	I got my mother's complexion, but my dad when he tans looks Indian.
	So is my granddad actually.
	He's where I got my Welsh DNA from.
	I've got a story to tell you.
	So in year seven, my first year of secondary school, one of my old time friends who I'm still friends with to this day, when he first met me, as we met in secondary school, I'd been on holiday to Spain for two weeks and I tan very well and he genuinely thought I was Indian.
	I've seen the Taliban Josh photo.
	Oh yeah, I think I've seen that one as well.
	Terrorist Josh is a real thing.
	Act nice, he may post it.
	No chance.
	And thankfully the most interesting thing that came from this whole thing, here's Josh's dad I assume.
	Spitting image, yeah.
	Is that Tom Rousell, Survivor of the Jive, put up a big post, a thread, talking about dark British people because it's a thing that it seems that Americans don't really know because they just assume we're in Northwest Europe, that we all kind of look like me or you.
	Americans just think in abstract racial categories.
	White, black, etc.
	But there's a lot of diversity over here, ironically enough, before we invited the diversity over.
	And you can see this from, here is Tom Jones.
	Average Welshman.
	So if you're interested in that, go check it out.
	And give Rorik Nationalists some support, because whether or not he's trying to make hay of all of this, it still must be a very stressful experience to have your identity revealed when you don't want it to be.
	But at least it's not working quite as well as they hoped it would.
	And with that, video comments, please.
	Please enjoy this picture of these bears canoeing while I share this completely random and unnecessary piece of info.
	Apparently a day on Venus is longer than a year.
	It takes 243 Earth days for Venus to rotate, but only 224 days for it to complete a revolution around the sun.
	I read that in a kid's Facebook and thought it was interesting.
	They're on their way to a date with a feminist, I assume.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I imagine it doesn't rotate as quickly because it's... does it not have as much mass?
	I don't know.
	Is it denser?
	I don't know.
	We need a physicist here.
	I'm a psychologist.
	I can just tell you how it makes me feel.
	Yeah, I'm... It makes me feel confused.
	I'm bad with astrology.
	No, I enjoyed that fact.
	Thank you.
	It's difficult to convey what it was like growing up in the 1980s in the UK, particularly how I could find out about the world through the media of the time.
	It seemed like there was a permanent fog obscuring the world and limiting what could be defined as the truth.
	I was never happy with portrayals of the Chernobyl accident, then or since, as they always had something that just didn't add up.
	Step forward to today and the younger generation are finally dissipating that fog.
	YouTuber That Chernobyl Guy has a masterful series of videos analysing what went on and setting the record straight.
	That sounds pretty interesting.
	Yeah, if you could tell us, you know, sort of some basic notes on what deviates from the common narrative.
	I've not actually looked into it.
	I've not even seen the 2019 series, is it?
	Was it 2019?
	Yes, it was.
	At the time, I found that really annoying because I'm watching a show set in Russia, except they've all got really thick British accents.
	I know it's something you kind of have to work around and go with the show on, but I found that really distracting.
	It's global default, isn't it?
	I just found it really weird looking at young Alistair Stewart there, considering he's so old he's got dementia now.
	Poor sod.
	Anyway, on to the next one.
	Hey guys, I have an idea for a video but I need a lot of people chanting zero seats to the tune of We Will Rock You By Queen.
	Oh no.
	So do you think you could get a whole lot of people to do that and send it up as video comments? - Yes.
	Should we do it now?
	You could probably get it done with AI.
	That's true.
	Zero seats.
	No, no, no.
	Stop trying to make fetch happen.
	Zero seats!
	Zero seats!
	That could give you something to work with.
	On with the next one.
	A Gentleman's Observations of Swindon, Chapter 8.
	The hill upon which Swindon now resides was quarried for Purbeck stone since the Roman occupation, a practice which we know continued under the Goddards and then until 1951, when the Oakers Quarry was closed and notified as a SSSI.
	The growth of Swindon increased the quarrying efforts, and this in turn saw the implementation of turnpikes on roads flowing in and out of Swindon between 1750 and 1770.
	Additionally, the right to scrape and sweep the roads was auctioned to townspeople who could sell what they cleaned, such as manure, for a profit.
	This practice continued until at least 1846.
	Well, I'm glad that Lotuses is upholding the tradition of selling shit out of Swindon.
	That was quick.
	Fair play.
	Thank you.
	Interesting as ever.
	On with the next one.
	One, the power of two, the power of many.
	And this goes on for a long time.
	One, the power of two, the power of many.
	What do you feel?
	I've never wanted a bear to come along so much. .
	Thank you for the inside track into Kathleen Kennedy's writer's room.
	See, if you were to deal with a problem like that like a normal person, a man, you would just punch a hole in your wall and move on.
	Mmm, drinking monstrosity, yeah.
	Alright, next one.
	This is what happens when you sit in a forest and do shrooms.
	We have working theories that various souls who have come before you have put on the table and many of them think it has to do with the dead that are just clogging the astrals and shutting off the escape routes and therefore the upward flow is shutting down but other people think other things and we don't know.
	I think I've had that exact conversation with Rory in a smoking section of a bar at Conservative Party Conference.
	Well, you never know what they're passing around there.
	Except for STDs.
	And SPADs.
	If you want to send me to investigate, I'm more than happy.
	Would you be willing to have that happen on camera, Josh?
	I would never want anybody to film me in that sort of state.
	I don't know what they're doing.
	It's like they're trying to pass a drainpipe.
	And then Dominic Samuels did that on the Channel 4 show because they took like a conservative and a leftist out to the Netherlands to do shrooms together and then she took one and then she started selling CBD gummies and became a Hare Krishna and just quit.
	So you might not want to do it for your livelihood.
	That's true.
	Yeah, I think they were trying to keep the drop goblins away.
	they're from Zimbabwe maybe right anyway they were Rhodesian but they had to get sent back over him Kevin Fox so Stelios been let back on X yet in 24 hours suspended X suspended Stelios Dave Atherton and Visigrad yeah I think Dave Atherton is back afternoon I think Visigrad is back I I think Stelios was taken out as part of the bot purge.
	Stelios isn't a bot just because he's Greek?
	I wonder if it's the handle in the username.
	They have a certain algorithm that says if you've got a first name, some numbers, and then some letters, it flags you as a bot.
	Oh, is that Stelios' handle?
	It's like Panayiotou90ST.
	That's because his name is like the Greek equivalent of John Smith, isn't it?
	Panayiotou is quite a common name in Greece, according to Stelios, because it's the same surname that George Michael has, his actual birth surname, Panayiotou.
	Didn't know that.
	Fair play.
	There we go.
	So Stelios don't know when George Michael was Greek.
	Yeah, and gay.
	and gay but you repeat yourself yeah no we don't know what's happening the status account yet obviously we haven't got a line on elon musk would that we were hopefully when they hit the switch and realize they've banned too many people who aren't bots he'll be brought back but we hope so north fc zoomer this is definitely the lads podcast lineup that's that's that's very true We should do this more often, it's good fun.
	It's just hectic scheduling everyone around here.
	Joel Ballum, nothing to do with the podcast, just a good news story for once.
	I'm a long time fan, I wish to announce the birth of my daughter, first born on Monday.
	Congratulations my friend.
	Victory is a demographic war.
	Hard, but it's definitely worth it.
	Wish you all the best.
	Josh, do you have a segment?
	George Happ says, isn't it interesting that the way they took down Assange is with a fake rape allegation, the easiest thing to weaponise against men.
	I saw an interesting theory that his release is a sign of the diminishing influence of the US on the world stage, which is possible.
	We have to stipulate that it isn't necessarily a fake allegation, just in case the woman who alleged it is very litigious.
	We reserve judgement on that one.
	Yeah well she did also say that Julian Assange is a very good man at the same time.
	There are questions.
	Yeah it's weird like she's saying he's a good person and very fun to be around but he crossed my boundaries so she doesn't even seem that bent up about it even by her own sort of words in her book.
	But there is something to be made from it.
	Potentially.
	I would not allege anything, gentlemen.
	Not very wise.
	Bleach Demon says the Assange situation is one where the transparency is more of a facade to further entrench the power of the establishment.
	I have a very difficult time not seeing Assange as an asset of anti-Western influences.
	Yeah, but I hate that proposition of any time you criticise the establishment government for doing horrible things abroad, you're a Putin apologist, you're emboldening dictators, you're spreading Russian propaganda.
	It's like, no, actually our governments do equivalent things.
	It doesn't mean I have to like that government, it also means that the Clintons are, and the Obamas have indiscriminately murdered people with drones.
	I mean, I would argue that our governments are the greatest anti-Western forces in the entire world.
	So Kevin Fox says it won't make the military any more careful in their behaviour, it will just make the journalists and the public less likely to report issues.
	Which is almost certainly true, yes.
	I also like that name, Harry eating a KFC bargain bucket all by himself.
	Like what's his face from Brazil?
	I've forgotten his name all of a sudden.
	Bolsonaro!
	Or perhaps George Lucas sat by himself eating KFC.
	Two greats.
	Have you spotted me in public?
	I'm not saying it's never happened.
	Once more problem, I am inside your home.
	Many such cases.
	Anyway, um, on to your- Yeah, can you scroll down slightly, Samson, just so I can- I can read mine, please.
	Oh, we've got some superchats!
	Fantastic!
	$5 from the Threadnaught.
	Our political opponent was viciously attacked, and this is one of my favorite things to have ever happened.
	An actual, literal fascist.
	Well, yes, it's not- Fascists had better dress sense.
	True.
	I mean, it's not just a domain that is select to fascists, though.
	It's pretty much all... Communists did it all the time.
	Exactly.
	It's anyone who doesn't believe that the sanctity of life is inviolable is happy to use violence to achieve their political ends.
	Violence against the innocent, anyway.
	Lars Peter Simonson.
	There was a time when Catholics couldn't hold certain positions in the UK due to suspicions about their loyalty.
	It is not specifically an anti-Semitic position.
