	All right, hello and welcome to the podcast of Lotus Eaters episode 947 on today the 28th of June 2024.
	You've just seen our lovely little promo there that we will be doing the election night coverage.
	Reminder again, code zero seats for 30 percent, 50 percent off three months gold tier membership and it is free for everybody.
	And today what we're going to be doing is covering the slow motion death of Joe Biden during the debate last night, how it's apparently over for Nigel Farage.
	And we're also going to be covering TikTok and the radical Zoomer Waffen.
	This is emerging.
	I've never heard that before.
	I only just heard it earlier because you've got the boomer waffen, the zoomer waffen is slowly emerging.
	And now it's the predator handshake meme.
	Yes.
	So is there anything else we'd like to say before we get started?
	Yes.
	All right, let's go.
	Okay, I thought we need to talk about old Sleepy Joe again.
	Because there was a performance yesterday evening, he was rolled out, trotted out, wheeled out.
	I think a lot of this is inverted commas, a performance.
	Fuppeteered.
	Yeah.
	So I watched the whole thing, well actually I didn't actually, I watched most of it, nearly all of it.
	I watched that sort of 80-90% of it, I watched nearly all of it.
	And I've been sort of dining out on the The reactions from both sides and it's interesting to see but I suppose just the overall impressions for anyone who perhaps haven't seen it and rely on Lotus Eaters for sort of takes and things.
	My take was that Trump's the same old Trump.
	It's the same as he's always been because he's only three years younger than Biden.
	He's 78.
	Right.
	But he's just completely loose.
	He's still funny.
	He's just exactly the same old Trump.
	Whereas Biden is worse than he was even a year ago, I would say.
	Biden literally looks like he's been exhumed.
	Yeah.
	It's really, really bad.
	Animated by malevolent spirits, perhaps?
	No, not even malevolent spirits.
	Mischievous spirits.
	No, God, that would be more interesting.
	No, but Biden looks like he's been reanimated by tired spirits, who just want to leave this mortal plane.
	And they're just sick of politics, sick of being the president.
	I mean, have you seen Tales from the Crypt?
	Right?
	He looked like the Crypt Keeper, like a boring version of the Crypt Keeper.
	The Crypt Keeper had way more energy than Joe Biden did.
	Biden sounded like he'd just come off an all-night bender, like... It's like, Biden, you had too many cigarettes last night, too much beer, you should have laid off the whiskey.
	He looks like he's literally dead on his feet.
	Like it's become evident that this what whatever whoever's puppeteering like no one thinks Biden's in charge of any of the things that are happening and whoever is doing this to Biden looks like they're being cruel to him and I've got no sympathy for Biden whatsoever.
	It's Dr Jill largely.
	I mean that's what it looks like.
	She obviously she's not the overall grand mind behind the Democratic Party or anything or the global cabal or whatever it is but in in the immediate She's obviously, she's propping him up quite physically sometimes, right?
	There's obviously some sort of small cabal around, you know, the diversity hire press secretary and, you know, various other people around him who are controlling, like, social medias, his appearances, his schedules and stuff like this, who are just using him as a puppet to push forward whatever they're trying to do.
	And it's become apparent to, I think, everyone after this debate, this is cruel.
	Yeah.
	This is not good.
	Judging by some of what's been reported and what's been said it seems that even before the debate some on the Democrat side were aware that this was not going to go well and are sort of priming themselves for perhaps a switch.
	Yeah well one thing I thought that was very telling because my take on him for quite a few months now has been not that he's struggling or suffering that's been self-evident since before 2016 or before 2020 rather but that he's actually dying I really do think he's dying.
	He seems like... I've seen people, you know, come to the end of their life and die, and it shows all the symptoms of it.
	But I feel like it's... Well, one of the things that I thought was an indication was that... Well, I was watching lots of right-leaning and left-leaning reactions to it.
	I watched John Stewart Leibovic.
	Well, John Stewart, sorry.
	You're going to have that.
	John Stewart.
	I was watching him watch.
	And when he was showing, he dunked on both Trump and Biden.
	And when he was showing some Biden clips, his own audience were like sort of sighing.
	They weren't like laughing or it wasn't just like a carefully studied silence.
	people were like sighing and you could hear people Yeah, it's beyond embarrassment.
	It's now like, yeah, this is... Sad.
	Yeah, properly sad.
	He came across like someone's granddad who's got dementia.
	Yeah, that's exactly what he is.
	Yeah, well, I don't mean entirely, but like, you know, he should be in a care home.
	Either way, it all looks terrible for America, doesn't it?
	Because whether or not you want to question how much power the president really has in the executive and such, even though we know that he was always going to be some kind of figurehead trotted out for the regime, right?
	The fact that this is the best figurehead that you could get means you're kind of a joke nation.
	Well Stellios very shortly before we came on sent me a link to a tweet from Piers Morgan who I don't follow.
	Piers Morgan just says Gavin Newsom's going to be the candidate for November this year.
	Quite possibly.
	The media reaction from the Democrats for this.
	I don't even think it's America.
	I think it's the Democrat Party and Democrat voters.
	Because the Republicans, their candidate's still perfectly lucid, still fairly nimble on his feet.
	He still seems to know exactly what he wants, where he's going, and why he's going to start firing people.
	Which is one of the parts of the debate I really enjoyed actually.
	Trump being like, look, you've had loads of failures and you haven't fired anyone.
	Why not?
	Just a quick aside on that actually.
	Trump came across as actually quite restrained.
	He actually came across as kind of sympathetic to Biden, like he was suffering.
	Like the one clip that went around, I don't know whether you got it or not, but the one clip that went around was of course Biden mumbling something and Trump just like, I don't know what he just said and I don't think he knows what he just said, but this is what we need to do.
	That was another one of my takes.
	Trump could have been way more brutal if he'd wanted to.
	And normally he isn't.
	Normally he's a lot more aggressive.
	He could have been way more brutal and sarcastic and funny, but I think now everyone really sees it.
	And the things that would have come across as really horrible and inappropriate, right?
	So Trump actually came across really well by the fact that he was just like, Well, I'm recalling all the clips that came out in 2016 of the debates that he had with Hillary Clinton, which, yeah, he went for the throat there.
	He was actively saying, I will arrest you.
	I will put you in prison when I'm in office.
	And you can't really do that with Biden because Hillary Clinton, evil as she may be, can at least string a sentence together.
	Well, she was a real opponent.
	It's like a grown man fighting a woman or a child or something.
	Yeah, you don't...
	You don't swing for the fences, right?
	You just don't do it.
	Anyway, one of the things actually, talking about physicality is another thing I've said, the way he sort of baby steps.
	Can we actually play a link that's below, a bit below Samson, the one where it says Jill is helping him?
	I think it's, if we go to this, go back.
	Just watch this.
	Look how delicate he is.
	So there's like a step.
	- Just watch this.
	Sort of look how delicate he is.
	- Oh, pfft! - So the technical problem there, okay.
	So there's like a step, I think it's one step, or maybe two.
	And I know it's only a thing, and I know when Trump had to very delicately walk down a wet ramp one time, Sure, but like... But this is not that, and it's... I estimate... But like, even walking up to the barrier, it's stable.
	Yeah.
	Just everything about his physicality.
	I think I saw Dana Carvey doing an impression where he says, you ever notice Biden will sometimes just really slowly...
	That's just one of his tics.
	It is honestly painful to watch.
	So anyway, we've got some Biden lowlights.
	Can you play that, Link?
	Because the thing was quite long.
	It was over an hour, wasn't it?
	Hour and a half.
	Hour and a half, right.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Making sure that we're able to make every single solitary person eligible for what I've been able to do with dealing with everything we have to deal with.
	See Trump's face.
	Look, if we finally beat Medicare, we're trying to find housing for black Americans.
	Finally destroying the Americans.
	The impact on the choice, the idea that they're going to...
	I'm not either proposing that everybody, they pay...
	The millionaires pay 1%.
	1%.
	So no one after...
	I've not raised the cost of Social Security for anybody.
	Three, I got my handicap when I was vice president down to a six.
	And I used to get rid of the ability of Medicare to...
	For the ability for us to be able to negotiate drug prices with the big pharma companies.
	What I'm going to do is fix the taxes.
	For example, we have a thousand trillionaires in America.
	About a billionaires in America.
	No one was hurt.
	No one Israeli was accidentally killed and it stopped.
	And I'm going to continue to move until we get the total ban on the total initiative relative to what we're going to do with more border patrol and more asylum officers.
	Anyway, I'll tell you what, sorry, just a quick thing here.
	It's Trump's expressions next to him that is really making this for me.
	You can see Trump just, he's getting bored waiting for Biden to finish rambling.
	He looks sad more than anything, to be honest.
	It's the thing of repeatedly mixing up trillions, billions, millions and thousands.
	At one point he said 15,000 jobs.
	I think he must have meant 15 million.
	I've said it before as well.
	We all know, speaking for a living essentially, that you do misspeak sometimes.
	Yeah, I've totally said completely the wrong thing, and in my mind I've got it right, and I've sort of heard myself saying it right, but then the video footage shows I said the wrong name or something.
	So it totally, totally happens, but again this is not what's happening here exactly, is it?
	It's not that.
	Over the course of an entire hour and a half with no change.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I think just a quick thing on the setup as well is interesting.
	CNN did a thing where they said, look, they're going to have a green light next to their microphone.
	They'll tell them when the microphone is actually on so they can't interrupt each other.
	Because of course, and they were thinking, well, look, if Trump has just given free reign, he's just going to go to hell for leather and Biden will start stumbling and Trump will go, what, what, what?
	And Biden will probably have a seizure and keel over, right?
	And so you can tell they were like, right, so we're going to have it so that Trump just can't really speak.
	During Biden's bit.
	But I think that really actually helped Trump because what that meant is that Biden has no distractions when he's talking and all of these... And everyone's just quietly looking at him.
	It's like, oh no.
	And it also toned Trump down.
	So he's not on the attack.
	He's not in this sort of, you know, very combative mode.
	And this just made Trump seem very quite reasonable, actually, and kind of like, Kind towards Biden and Biden look really really bad.
	And so the the times dragging on and Trump's waiting for them to talk to be able to talk and Biden's still never interrupt your opponent when they're making a mistake or making themselves look foolish And it's okay
	Another thing John Leibowitz did, which I thought was interesting, was he talked about Joe Biden's face when Trump was talking, and that again was very, very telling, because he's got the very vacant look.
	Mouth open.
	He had his mouth open.
	Yeah, and just like the vacant, truly sort of vacant look.
	He looks like he's got a very clouded mind.
	Yeah.
	That's the thing.
	It looks like it's very foggy.
	Now, having said all that, one last thing I would say is that I've seen Biden worse.
	Because he obviously has good days and bad days like anyone that suffers from actual dementia does.
	You have good days and bad days.
	Depends how much and what drugs they've pumped into him for this event.
	So I've seen him actually a bit worse.
	Out of an hour and a half odd, he was only sort of incoherent a small, like truly incoherent a small number of times.
	But still, it was pretty bad.
	And now it's not just the right-leaning news that is noticing.
	Everyone is.
	And here's an interesting tweet, where it's just sort of a, what would you say, a collage of all sorts of news outlets saying, if anyone's only listening to the audio here, a disaster for Joe Biden from Newsweek.
	Well, there's just a massive long list of all sorts of... Paul Sturgeon, Biden stepped down, the likely Democrat... From Politico, The Hill, Vox.
	All sorts of Al Jazeera, Time, all sorts of... The Democrat Media Industrial Complex.
	Yeah, yeah.
	All sorts of corporate mainstream media that should be shilling standing for Biden and they're not at all.
	To me it confuses me because I do believe that there is a good chance that Biden is going to be made to step down because clearly he is not fit to hold that office right now.
	My confusion comes from why so late?
	Why so late in the game?
	Why let him get to the point where he's embarrassing himself and the Democratic Party on the national stage?
	What, five, six months before the actual election takes place?
	Why get to this point?
	Why not airdrop in Gavin Newsom earlier if he's who they're going to pivot to?
	That's a very good question, very interesting question.
	I thought if you'd asked me this time last year, I would have said that they wouldn't run with him in 2024.
	And when they did, because he even was making, when he was directly asked the question, he wasn't sort of concrete, yes I'm definitely running, I'm the incumbent president, of course I'm running in 2024.
	He said things like, he actually said things like, if my health holds up to it and we'll see and all that sort of thing.
	So leaving some wiggle room for the party to replace him.
	And then when they didn't, That was a bit surprising to me because where we are now is obviously where it was always going to be.
	Maybe, there's two things, two answers to that, maybe it's deliberate and they're playing some sort of 3D chess, I won't call it 4D chess, they're playing some sort of chess game, some sort of checkers game with him.
	Trust the player.
	Or they just, they don't really care.
	You know, he's a completely controllable entity and that's all they want, that's all they need.
	They don't care if it's embarrassing for the United States, they don't care if it's elder abuse or anything.
	I think it's more than that.
	I don't know.
	I think Biden, frankly, is one of the nexus points of a web of corruption that underpins the entire Democrat Party and lots of nodes that form out of this like you know the connections with hunter and burisma hunter and the chinese and things like this like god only knows what hillary clinton nancy pelosi all of these i think uh biden is basically the nexus of that web
	and so if they remove him that puts everyone slightly in danger what if the next guy isn't on side actually still but how how would someone like gavin newsom not be entirely on side as as a regime creature i'm not saying the
	The other suggestion that I've heard, Bandit, about is that the Deep State has essentially resigned to the idea that Trump might get in, and is going to get in, and is essentially working to be able to control him and contain him when he does get in, so they're allowing all of this to happen just out of a sense of sort of determinism.
	That could totally be the case.
	Both of the things you've just said there could be totally the case.
	It's like the idea that, you know, someone said to Rishi Sunak, you know, we want Starmer to be the Prime Minister, so we're telling you to throw this thing, throw the election.
	The problem might be with that, like, let Biden appear crazy because we've got our plans and we've got our plans within plans with the Trump The problem I have with this kind of theory is, uh, who's they, is always the question.
	State Department?
	Yeah, but who?
	Like, names of us?
	CIA?
	Well, whoever's in charge of the State Department.
	And the whole point of the blob is that you can't attribute particular names to it, for the most part.
	Sure, but the problem is as well, is it assumes a level of competence and control that I just don't think these people actually have.
	I think that these people are as surprised by events as anyone else, and they just do their best to manage them after they have already begun.
	And I think that this is just another thing.
	I mean, I don't think if I don't think there's a plan behind, you know, the entire Democrat Party being like, yeah, we're going to stick with Biden, stick with Biden.
	And then, oh, actually, this is untenable.
	Oh, God, what are we going to do?
	Like, it was just on their faces that they didn't think it was going to be this bad.
	And Gavin Newsom actually did an interview directly after it, where he was like, no, we're going to stay behind Joe Biden.
	One bad debate doesn't make anything.
	That is what you say though, right?
	Sure, but it's not though.
	That's the thing.
	They're all like, you know...
	Well, so it's an interesting point.
	If Gavin Newsom was like, I want to be in charge of the Democrat party, now's the time.
	He'd be like, well, you know, I think we need to take care of Joe Biden.
	I'll step into that role of leadership.
	When you say who's they, a couple of things.
	One, it's sort of the permanent civil servant types at the State Department or at the Pentagon or at the White House or whatever.
	But also someone like Obama or the Clinton family.
	You know, like Obama visited Rishi.
	That was so suspicious to me when he visited Rishi off the cuff.
	I feel like, you know, the Obamas and the Clintons, Biden is their plaything.
	100%.
	He's their front man.
	But it's all a bit too puritorian.
	But then, look, they're all singing from exactly the same... They all saw what we saw.
	Wasn't there also...
	Didn't Connor say something about that one of the publications had already prepared a headline like this on the 25th?
	I mean, that could just be basically hedging your bets.
	I think it was.
	But, you know, it could suggest something more.
	I think that what they did is prepared two articles.
	Biden smashed it.
	Probably.
	And depending on how well his medication took that day.
	Because this is the sort of thing they've done in the past.
	And of course this isn't new.
	I remember when I was young, I don't know, pretty damn young, like 13 years old, maybe 14, 15 years old, and noticing, going into a newsagent one day, and noticing that all the newspapers ran the exact same picture, it might have been something about Diana or something it was the 90s I can't remember what it was but all the all the newspapers were running with the exact same image and more or less this same headline and I remember thinking oh so they must be communicating that's not coincidence not it's not by luck
	And again of course they either, there's some sort of copying off each other thing or in fact their editors literally just call each other or text each other in some sort of group or something or other.
	Can I just draw to something else one of the other links that you've got here which was This that happened as well just in the past week that's been updated where Snopes seemingly out of nowhere decided that they were going to fact check all of the old news reports that came out back in 2017 following Charlottesville and saying actually no we were fibbing a bit here.
	Yeah.
	Not even just a bit.
	He was a total liar, we knew it.
	They've always got to try and hedge it though, don't they?
	Again, for anyone only listening to the audio, it's the old story that Trump said there were very fine people on both sides of the Charlottesville thing, wasn't it?
	And that was spun into that he was calling neo-Nazis very fine people, which if anyone watches the clip, you merely need to watch the clip, that's not what he was saying.
	I mean he literally says, I'm not talking about the Neo-Nazis, they're verifying people of both sides, and so he explicitly carves them out of what he's saying.
	And of course they've lied about it for the last, what, eight years.
	And Snopes the fact-checkers.
	Now, for some reason.
	It's like when I said the Scots were like a turd that can't flush.
	I said explicitly before that, what I am about to say is with my tongue firmly stuck in my cheek.
	And then said it.
	And they just quote the Ascendancy essay.
	It's a classic thing.
	Yeah, classic thing.
	But we know also that the corporate mainstream media, they're so cynical.
	They will sit on a story for months or years.
	Pepsi steam.
	Right.
	Say they've got something in their pocket about, I don't know, something like Russell Brand.
	They'll just sit on it until it's their moment, the moment that they pick to do this stuff because they consider themselves sort of masters of the universe or whatever, or that they control the news cycle absolutely and the message and all that sort of thing.
	It is politically timed.
	They are political agents that have significant effect on the political discourse and so you're exactly right.
	They sit on these stories in order to steer things in a certain way.
	A great example, do you remember last time in 2016 where the order of Trump saying you grab women by the crutch?
	Yeah.
	And they released that sort of, what was it, a few days before the actual vote?
	Right.
	Or one week before the vote.
	And they've been sitting on it for months or years or something, or at least months they've been sitting on that.
	Yeah.
	So yeah, it's absolutely what they do.
	So, I mean, I've used up pretty much all my time here, but just to say, Trump has still got it, obviously, there was no doubt about that.
	He's the same old Trump.
	And Biden, it's looking...
	It's looking bad, isn't it?
	It's looking bad.
	I still probably wouldn't put any money, unless I've got very good odds, on him being removed.
	Let's say it's Gavin Newsom, he's the heir apparent.
	I would suspect, unless he actually dies, it will be him.
	Maybe.
	Maybe.
	I'd like to see how that turns out.
	If they do let Biden take it all the way to November, I don't think it's going to end well.
	I mean, just a quick thing to finish on.
	Like, if you'd asked me five years ago, is Biden going to get this kind of coverage from the mainstream left-wing press?
	I'd be like, no, obviously not.
	They're totally on message, 100% message discipline.
	And now it's just everyone's like, okay, look, this is just, This is over.
	There's nothing we can do about it.
	So I would say that, you know.
	And it is interesting to see that Gavin Newsom himself will say, no, no, no, we've got to stand behind the party, we've got to stand behind our president.
	One of two things is happening there.
	One, his words were genuine, and that's what he means, and therefore there's a breakdown in message or strategy between the Democratic Party and the corporate mainstream media.
	Or he's just saying, that's what you say.
	That's what you say, because often it's almost a cliche or a truism that anyone wants to be a leader, but when asked, you say no.
	um because well the hubris and arrogance and all sorts of things um so it's what it's definitely one of those two things but it does if again if i had to sort of guess i would imagine newton seemed genuine to me in that response so maybe yeah i don't think necessarily he's an american psycho isn't he yeah yeah yeah
	Also, I wouldn't be surprised though if there is some sort of breakdown in communication or they're not all exactly on the same page.
	Whatever cabals run the corporate mainstream media and the cabal that runs the Democratic Party, They're not the same thing.
	They're not the same people.
	They will have slightly different goals and ideas and tactics and all sorts of things.
	So maybe they are sort of locking horns a bit right now.
	I mean, this is all to not consider any reinforcement that could go on.
	Well, I mean, one thing that I think it's important to remember is they've got to maintain a level of plausible deniability about anything they do.
	So if Joe Biden literally comes up and dies on stage, they can't just print, Joe Biden wins election.
	And I'd love to see the spin there.
	Well, I mean, yeah, exactly.
	That's the point.
	And I think this is, we've reached that kind of event horizon on either arm.
	A full-on weekend at Bernie's.
	Well, it practically was.
	Yeah, almost.
	I know, but now we just go all the way.
	Jump that shark!
	The point is, we've realised where the event horizon is here.
	It's Biden literally being left alone to talk quietly for five minutes on his own that has got him to be like, OK, look, we can't be the Pravda for Biden anymore.
	It makes us look not credible.
	That level of plausible deniability would be completely destroyed.
	And we can't step over that boundary.
	And I think that's what we're seeing here.
	Well, one last thing for us that will bring this segment to an end.
	Can you play that very last link?
	I've just called it Jill Cringe.
	Just to leave you all on a touch of cringe.
	Watch this.
	Joe, you did such a great job.
	job you answered every question.
	Let me ask the crowd what did Trump do?
	Why?
	Biden looks like he's away with the pharaoh.
	Yeah, he's no idea what's going on there, is he?
	She is out of her mind.
	Yeah.
	She's out of her tiny mind.
	Maybe it's the quality of the picture as well, but it looks like Biden's face has been photoshopped just a few inches off of his skull.
	It looks really strange.
	Jesus.
	Right, well, I've got some bad news, chaps.
	It's over.
	It's never been more over.
	So over?
	It's so over for Nigel Farage.
	They have decided that they can't stop him on the facts, obviously, on the popular policies, on Ukraine even.
	Even though I think that was something of a slight tactical mistake and in fact he had framed it incorrectly.
	He shouldn't have said, we provoke Putin.
	What he should have said is, Putin's reaction was predictable.
	As in, we... because then he's not within sort of Putin's frame, he doesn't sound like he's on his side, right?
	But even then, that didn't destroy reform, that didn't destroy Farage's momentum, but it has now finally happened because the media and the politicians have come out and been like, you know what?
	Nigel Farage is a racist.
	There we go.
	It's just over.
	I mean, don't worry about it.
	That's the end, isn't it, when you say that?
	Exactly.
	I mean, look at a thousand people in Wareside at lunchtime to see Nigel Farage.
	No, it's over.
	Guys, guys, do you not know he's a racist?
	LBC have called him a racist.
	Well, there we go.
	And they're all like, oh my goodness, I had no idea.
	I'm going home.
	Have you included in this our old pal Narinda, her tweet about it?
	Oh my god, a picture of Nigel Farage waving at a crowd.
	I did see that.
	Do you know who else waved at crowds in photographs?
	Oh dear lord.
	But I did reply to her saying, well look, he was in a plane crash, maybe he's having trouble with his motion or something, I don't know.
	Or maybe he was just waving.
	Yeah, maybe he was just waving.
	Were there actual pyrotechnics on that stage there?
	No, we'll get into it in a second.
	He was making his WWE entrance Goldberg style.
	Before we find out just how over it is for Nigel Farage, on the 4th of July on Rumble and Lotus East.com, we're going to be doing a Zero Seats election stream where we're going to be going all night.
	We're going to have loads of great guests and sign up with code ZEROSEATS for 50% off for three months for a gold subscription and send us gold video comments.
	So literally get your camera, record a message and we'll play them on the stream.
	It's going to be great.
	Anyway, yeah, so Nigel Farage just out mad, you know, like loads of people.
	See, there are indeed a huge whistling crowd, pyrotechnics, he's pulling out the stops.
	And again, this was lunchtime on a Thursday afternoon.
	Or like 11 o'clock on a Thursday afternoon.
	This is a huge crowd.
	This is unusual for politicians to be able to draw large crowds in Britain.
	It's not like America with Trump.
	Especially in northeastern seaside towns.
	We simply don't have political rallies where there's actual enthusiasm.
	I don't think I've ever seen one in my life.
	In all honesty, that's not an exaggeration.
	I know, I know.
	Tony Blair didn't even do that.
	Yeah, right.
	Maybe the Fabian Society might be.
	But just normal people.
	Just normal working class, middle class people.
	I've never seen it before.
	I will just say one thing, because what have we got tagged in this?
	Who have we got tagged?
	We've got old Boomer Tice.
	I will say, if Nigel really wants to win over my complete trust, I don't think Tice is evil.
	I think he's fairly well-meaning.
	funding the party i i know but in i wish i wish upon the stars please drop boomer tice i don't think i see ticey i don't think tice is evil i think he's fairly well-meaning i just think he's very much a creature of the westminster bubble right and so you know i mean one of the things that you mentioned with the whole ukraine thing that farage was was talking about it was the the thing for me as a young fighting age
	male is that it gives me some some hope that oh if farage gets into any position of influence he doesn't want to send me off to die unlike all All of the other major Western leaders.
	You don't want to die for pride parades in Ukraine.
	What about gay rights and gender Harry?
	Whereas Boomer Tice whispering in his ear is maybe going, send them, send them Nigel, kill them all.
	I'm sure you won't.
	I think we'll argue that you're in a protected profession.
	See I don't want my mates to go and die either.
	Well they can be in our protection, I'll hire a lot of people.
	We need to liberate Crimea so they can have gay marriage.
	Yeah, well, I mean that is important.
	David Cameron's pitch there.
	If we don't do that, Poland will fall to Soviet, sorry, I mean Russian tank divisions.
	That's the next thing.
	I mean, we already let that happen to Poland.
	Anyway, so a poll came out yesterday from MRP that had reform winning 18 seats, which is pretty great, considering they started with, well, he might get Clacton.
	It's like, okay, well, he might get three or four seats.
	Okay.
	Well, he might get 18 seats.
	It's like, okay, well, calm down.
	There was actually another one that had them much higher on like something like 60 seats, but I'm, I think that's it.
	Optimistic.
	My prediction right now is seven.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I mean, just honestly, for me, for us being an MP... Even getting one seat is a big win.
	Seven seats, that'd be nice.
	As he points out, it's a beachhead in Parliament.
	That's good.
	Eighteen seats?
	Okay, that's pretty good.
	Starting to get there, yeah.
	And we've still got six days or so, so who knows where this goes.
	Um, but yeah, so you can see that Farage is still going up, things are still going well, nothing else has yet stopped him, and so obviously he's a racist.
	Actually, it wasn't Farage himself that was the racist, it was someone else in his party or someone canvassing for him.
	Found evidence of anti-migrant rhetoric.
	Oh no, not that thing that's in their manifesto.
	In the Reform Party, or the Labour Party, or the Conservative Party, or the SDP, or the English Democrats.
	I mean, it's not in, say, you know, the Greens or the Lib Dems, obviously, or the SNP.
	But literally every sensible party in this country that has a real shot of doing very well is anti-migrant at this point.
	Because migration has been ridiculous in Britain, and I'm not going to relitigate it.
	Um but the point is uh he anti-migrant rhetoric and homophobia.
	Oh my goodness let's we better watch this it's important.
	We've gone undercover inside Nigel Farage's Reform UK campaign in Clacton and we recorded extremely offensive language including this canvasser saying people seeking asylum should be shot.
	- You're on the place there, yeah, with guns, on the boots, target practice, just show them.
	- Racist language was repeated.
	- Right, so-- - Racist.
	I just want to be clear.
	We don't think that asylum seekers should be shot.
	They should just be sent home.
	As in, they've got into boats illegally in France, a safe country, they've broken into our country, and rather than the Royal Navy or the Coast Guard picking them up and bringing them here, they should pick them up and take them back.
	It's literally as simple.
	I will say, without condoning, that from conversations that I've had, the sentiment of put sea mines in the channel... Why isn't the Navy Dean dealing with this?
	It isn't exactly fringe.
	Yeah.
	Without condoning.
	No, no, that's totally true.
	Obviously, we don't condone the idea that we should just be shooting people coming across.
	But as you said, it's not a fringe belief.
	Lots of people around the country... Well, I tweeted we should deploy HMS Prince of Wales, our aircraft carrier.
	And 4-2 Commando, Royal Marines.
	Sure.
	Didn't say anything about machine gunning anybody.
	We'll just take their little dinghies around, drop them on the French beach.
	Yeah, we should just literally, by force, just drop them.
	The Marines are basically there to make sure no one on our side gets hurt.
	Take the RNLI out of the equation.
	If the French Navy try and stop us, then maybe 4-2 Commando can lock and load.
	Yeah, but even then that's not shooting the asylum seekers.
	Right, yeah, that's what I meant.
	That's a war with France.
	Someone's got to do the Father Ted meme.
	I hear you're a racist now.
	Someone must have already done it.
	Yeah, and so let's carry on for a bit actually.
	Here directed at the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
	Well hang on a second, Rishi Sunak's an Indian.
	That's the ultimate insult for him then, isn't it?
	Even more offensive.
	Yeah, but let's be fair, Rishi Sunak is useless.
	But yes, he used rude language to express that.
	Fascinating.
	I'm sure the voters in Clacton are all like, well, I can't believe he insulted the installed Indian Prime Minister of this country who we didn't vote for.
	Unbelievable.
	That's my vote for reform.
	Out.
	Nonsense.
	That's not homophobia.
	That's not wrong either.
	They should be politically neutral.
	They shouldn't have those on.
	Nothing wrong with that whatsoever.
	Justice should be blind.
	100%.
	It should not be politicised.
	But as you can see, she's really excited that we've revealed offensive stuff.
	Let's watch.
	We've previously revealed offensive, racist comments made by some reform candidates.
	They've since been dropped by the party.
	Farage's campaign in Clacton carefully manages media access, so we wanted to see what it's really like at the grassroots.
	Right, so they snuck in with a plant and recorded a guy saying the sort of things you'd hear in a pub.
	Okay.
	Saying things that the reform voters were already thinking.
	Just offensive as well.
	Or I find her eyebrows offensive.
	Yeah.
	But I don't care what she finds offensive.
	The thing is...
	Again, I've said this before.
	You'd be like, hey, look, this guy said this thing isn't that bad.
	And these guys say, oh, look, that guy said that thing.
	Oh, you know, there's two sides to every story on this.
	Are you saying the Streisand effect?
	No, not even just the Streisand effect.
	More when you say, look, I'm a far left base of, you know, basically a commie.
	Isn't this thing bad?
	And they're holding up literally the most base thing you've ever heard.
	I was thinking that same thing.
	Only if you think that's a bad thing.
	I'm sure there are lots of boomers in Clacton who do not think actually that's a bad thing and who actually do kind of agree with the sentiments being expressed.
	So, just saying, looking forward to the next Clacton poll.
	Yeah, I mean, from the last comment, I certainly don't like police cars driving around brandishing a flag that says that they're happy to support degenerate pride parades in the middle of the street where children can go up to half-naked men attempting to sodomize one another.
	Yeah, I don't want that.
	I don't want any support of that whatsoever from the police.
	Yeah, exactly.
	And, you know, even if you say, well, it's just because you don't like the thing.
	Okay, maybe.
	But also, there's a more objective complaint, which is the police are promoting a political position, and they should not be promoting a political position.
	So even if it wasn't just that I don't like the flag, they shouldn't have any flag on them, apart from the British flag, I suppose.
	But anyway, so who is this chap?
	There's a chap called Andrew Parker, and people very quickly notice that he is an actor.
	Hmm.
	Interesting.
	Now, I just want to be clear, that doesn't mean he can't be a legit member of Reform.
	But it does look a bit sus, since Channel 4 have already snuck in one person.
	What prevents them from sneaking in two people?
	Well, apparently not much, right?
	So, again, looks very, very sus.
	And just to go back to the guy's previous... So, I think it's worth listening to the guy's accent when he's talking, because this is interesting.
	This canvasser saying people seeking asylum should be shot.
	Get the young recruits there, yeah, with guns, on the beach, target practice.
	So he sounds like a London Cockney gangster or something, right?
	He's got a very rough, working-class accent.
	Just very interesting.
	Or Essex.
	I mean, Clacton is in Essex.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Isn't it?
	Yeah, it is, yeah.
	Yeah, yeah.
	But he's got that kind of, you know, southeastern, like, lad accent.
	You know, it's like boys' accent.
	Again, it's particular to the region.
	Anyone who knows anything about accents in the UK will know it's particular to the region.
	And so here is his acting real, actually, which is quite interesting.
	Hello, my name's Andrew Park.
	I'm an extremely experienced actor.
	I've been in plenty of films.
	I've worked with quite a lot of A-listed actors.
	I've done a lot in Palmer Studios, a lot in Warner Brothers.
	I've also been flown over to Serbia to be involved as a character in a video game.
	I've done Virgin Train adverts and many more.
	So, he doesn't exactly sound the same.
	So he sounds like he's putting on an accent.
	Whichever way.
	He does.
	He does sound the same to me.
	It sounds like the difference between a man talking at his camera in a more measured way and a man out in public trying to project his voice speaking more forcefully.
	I'm sorry, this seems way too conspiratorial to me.
	There is nothing stopping it from this guy being an actor who also has political interests and an ideology and deciding to work with reform.
	A bit far-fetched to me.
	I'm not saying that I believe or disbelieve this or anything like that.
	This is the narrative that people are promoting around this, and I just want to make this clear.
	This is just what people are saying, and I don't know.
	I don't know either way.
	I mean, Farage himself has been saying things like this, so I thought it was worth pointing out.
	So Nigel's saying it doesn't add up?
	Yeah.
	We learn he's an actor, his own website says he's well-spoken, in class when he's rough speaking.
	The whole episode doesn't add up.
	I don't know, right?
	There is no conclusive evidence either way.
	But Charlie Peters from GB News said that he'd spoken to Andrew Parker and said these theories are total rubbish.
	He claims he was goaded by the undercover reporter and he was making horrible comments in a jokey atmosphere, but absolutely rejects any suggestion that he was a paid actor set up to make the film look bad.
	Entirely possible.
	Who knows?
	From my perspective, Farage just seems to be trying to basically get some distance between himself and this guy by fanning this theory.
	But to me, reform has already been caught out platforming people who have, not to say anything bad about my company.
	Terrible fears about the Scots!
	Platforming insensitive people who would dare to say nasty things that upset shit-lib journalists.
	So, I mean, it doesn't seem anywhere out of the realm of possibility that this guy is legit.
	And I feel that this is a real reach that Nigel is trying to push that, oh, well, you know, he's nothing to do.
	Oh, it must have been a setup.
	I mean, come on, just own it.
	Just own it.
	The same way that Nigel, to be fair to him, owned when that guy a few weeks ago was caught out having said in 2022 that we should have accepted Hitler's peace offers in World War II.
	Nigel has disavowed and said he vehemently disagrees, but the people should have the right to say their opinions.
	So this just feels clumsy to me.
	I agree.
	Anyway, so...
	So Farage was doorstopped on his campaign about this, and this was his response.
	Would you apologise to the Prime Minister for the appalling racist way that one of your campaigners spoke about the United Nations?
	So racist.
	Do you apologise to the Prime Minister?
	It was horrible.
	That's not quite an apology, is it?
	You can't go.
	How much further can I go?
	Of course this is a problem.
	It's horrible.
	I don't know who this bloke is.
	Somebody I met once years ago.
	I mean, awful.
	Horrible.
	Horrible.
	Almost as bad as the Labour candidate in Clacton and his slurs on white people.
	Have you covered that?
	I'm here to focus on... That's a no.
	Why would you cover that?
	We scrutinise all of the parties and their campaigns.
	But if you are appalled by this as you say you are, why are you trying to deflect?
	- Why are you covered? - Why are you trying to deflect if you are-- - No, I know that.
	If I was in any sort of position like this, I would just simply not speak to any corporate mainstream media.
	Do you remember one time Trump was taking some questions and he was like, well who are you from?
	And they say the BBC or they say CNN.
	It's just like fake news, your fake news.
	I just wouldn't speak to them.
	I would view them as An enemy.
	The enemy.
	They are the enemy.
	I think Farage understands that.
	The thing is, I mean, he's fairly well diffused it.
	He's like, oh, that was horrible.
	They'd agree with that.
	Yeah, no, he's a master.
	I'm not saying he did anything wrong.
	I'm just saying if it were me, I'd be like, no, I'm not talking to you.
	Get away from me.
	I'll do a podcast of it.
	I'll talk about it.
	Wait for that to come out.
	I'm not going to answer your question while you hassle me in a car park.
	But why is she going any further with it?
	It's like, yeah, now what?
	Okay, well, I want to keep pressing the point to make sure that you know that I think you're a racist.
	But Farage does well here and goes on the attack because, I mean, he is completely right about the Labour candidate that they decided to run in Clacton.
	Genuinely seems to hate white people, and seems to kind of want to be fighting a kind of race war?
	And it's hard to see... His favourite drink is white man tears, isn't it?
	Yeah, he literally says that.
	His favourite drink.
	He wants to drink the tears of white people.
	I mean, like, this is directly from it, right?
	The original post read, someone had posted, going into 2020 I'm going to continue to be vocal about how to tackle racism and the fact that I drink white man tears on a regular basis, to which their candidate, which is Javan Owusu Nepal,
	uh said my favorite drink and it's like oh that's lovely thanks jason um sorry that's classic labor for you isn't it yeah so they're going to give you a kid that's in his 20s yeah who i believe is gay not that that matters but is is is a a foreign extraction where the second generation or whatever and obviously hates He has a real problem with white people.
	Our race and our values he despises.
	So isn't that classic Labour?
	And that's the person you need to vote for.
	But that's the point, right?
	So Channel 4 have to go, oh we're going to sneak people into Farage's thing.
	Oh look, I've got him saying something racist.
	The Labour candidate just comes out like, yeah I hate white people by the way, love drinking their tears.
	Now what?
	And Channel 4 are just crickets.
	It's like, sorry...
	Like, they're openly racist!
	It's not all reformers are secretly racist.
	Which one's worse?
	By your own standard, you know?
	I mean, this guy's got some wild takes, actually.
	This one bothers me so much.
	He says, I feel like I'm doing this for every black and brown person in the country, running against Nigel Farage.
	Okay, so against who, though?
	You're standing for every black and brown person in the country against The white people of Clacton?
	The white people of the country?
	Well, possibly, but I mean, he's running in Clacton, so let's narrow it a bit.
	So you've got the 96% white English Clacton, and you're like, yeah, I'm here running for every black and brown person in the country.
	So what, against the whites of Clacton, you've decided to put yourself up as a representative of the browns.
	Right.
	Why is this a race issue?
	Why can't you be like, I'm Labour versus Conservative, right?
	Because they have race on their mind.
	That's the way he looks at things.
	He said, I drink white tears.
	I don't like white people.
	I'm running for the brown people against the whites of Clackton.
	So, okay.
	How is this not racism?
	I hate being like, oh, that's racist.
	But it can't be considered to be anything else.
	And yet, oh, this guy on Nigel Farage's campaign says this.
	Could they not find a 20-something commie of colour, LGBTQ, who's disabled though?
	He looks able-bodied.
	We've not ticked all the checkboxes, come on!
	Yeah, I mean, a bit ableist, really.
	Yeah, yeah, good point.
	Good point.
	But, and so Farage, of course, pointed this out, being like, well, hang on a second, this guy's a bit racist, isn't he?
	But they don't care about that.
	Um, but Keir Starmer had a response to this, which I thought was interesting.
	He said, well, I'm shocked by the clearly racist comments made by these campaigners, but refuses to call Nigel Farage himself a racist.
	And it's like, yeah, well, I mean, have you been listening to Keir Starmer talking recently?
	He's lost the support of the Bangladeshi community.
	He's like, yeah, the Bangladeshis are going back.
	Okay.
	So interesting.
	But he hasn't disavowed his own candidate being like, I hate, I drink white man tears and stuff like that.
	He didn't distance himself from that.
	No one's like, Keir, your candidate in Clankton is saying literally he hates white people.
	Are you going to stand by that?
	Kid wasn't even asked.
	Hasn't had to disavow it, right?
	But what's interesting is not necessarily what people say, it's what people do.
	Because they've decided Clacton's a lost cause.
	We decided to put an anti-white racist up against Nigel Farage at this time and in this place, and for some reason it's going down like a lead balloon.
	Apparently, Labour just think that Clacton is unwinnable for them at this point, which is good and based, because it should be.
	He has actually been seconded to the West Midlands.
	They've exiled him.
	I mean, I've never heard of such a practice.
	But he's not campaigned.
	They can't move him because it's all locked in now.
	So even if he dies or something, he's still on the ballot, right?
	But they're just like, okay, well, there's just no point having him wander around Clacton for all these people going, no, I'm not going to cry for you, mate.
	You know, you're going thirsty today.
	You know, sorry, dehydration is going to be your problem, not mine.
	Pray for Joven.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Remember Joven.
	So he's been sent to the West Midlands to presumably campaign...
	To enact his penance.
	Yeah, to post leaflets in what I assume is a more diverse constituency.
	But yeah, they do say that Labour regard Clacton as an unwinnable seat with the party gaining just 15% of the vote in 2019.
	So yeah, I guess they were just throwing him to the wolves or something.
	Someone's got to sit there opposite Farage and get trounced.
	So good for them.
	But I think the final thing is, well, okay, you've outed Farage and his team as a racist.
	Doesn't go down well on the London dinner circuit.
	Prices red in the cheeks.
	But how do the voters in Clacton feel about it?
	Well, Politics Joe went there.
	And, I mean, let's just watch this chap.
	I'm an Englishman in England and I don't feel like I'm an Englishman in England.
	Let's have it right.
	And I'm not afraid to say so.
	What do you feel like?
	I'm fed up with it.
	I feel like a foreigner in my own country.
	That's what I feel like.
	And do you think that's fair?
	Tell me why.
	Why do you feel that way?
	Well, because we're surrounded by foreigners.
	That's why.
	Here?
	Not in Clacton!
	Why do you think everyone's moving out of London to move to Seaside Towns?
	Do you think they want to?
	Trevor Phillips, the black politician, yeah?
	He said about people moving out, moving out, moving out.
	So is he racist?
	Is he wrong?
	Do you think you've been left behind?
	100%.
	Of course we have.
	Do you know what?
	I'm quite fair, I don't care who you are, but there needs to be fairness.
	Yeah?
	Like, you know, there's no fairness here.
	We've got no voice.
	And the Reform Party are giving people like us a voice.
	You've got half of East London living in Clacton, why?
	If it was so good in East London, why aren't we all still living there?
	Why don't we all still live in East London if it's that great?
	Because it ain't great, is it?
	Is it an immigration problem?
	Well, you've been pushed out, haven't you?
	You've just been pushed out.
	You know, everyone knows.
	No one wants to talk about it.
	That's the problem.
	I want to talk about it.
	You know, you get branded a racist.
	My wife's from Calcutta, yeah?
	I've got half-caste cousins.
	You know, I'm politically correct.
	You've got to say mixed-race.
	I've been brought up the old way, you know?
	Mixed-race people is called half-caste, yeah?
	I've got black friends.
	I've got all sorts of friends.
	But as soon as you say anything... And being called a racist now is so boring.
	I'll tell you that much.
	It's boring.
	That's a perfect response.
	That's a proper Essex Quesadilla.
	It's perfect.
	It's just boring.
	You know, you're calling Nigel Farage a racist.
	Well, that's boring.
	You know, don't care.
	They don't care.
	And so you, I mean, there'll probably come a time where they probably won't vote for someone who hasn't been called a racist by you because they know that means they're opposed to you.
	Because this is my neck of the woods, really.
	I grew up right in, I grew up in Havering.
	Spent nearly all my life in Havering which is in between London and Clacton more or less not quite exactly but anyway Essex yeah so I know Essex I know the exodus from the east end of London out into Kent and Essex and places and everything he said is exactly honestly true yeah it's just that's just real 100%.
	So yeah, that's the voice of the real people.
	I agree.
	And so this is why I really don't think calling Farage a racist is actually going to hurt his chances all that much.
	Yeah, it's lost its power.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	That's actually quite a good little segue into my segment.
	Oh, is it?
	Yeah, it really is, honestly.
	But first, before I get into the meat of this segment, first I will need to remind everybody that yes, we've got the election night stream coming up next Thursday.
	We'll be running that from 7 o'clock, I believe it is, and it's free to anybody who wants to tune in, but For the time being we are running a code, a discount code for the website ZEROSEATS and if you use that you'll get 50% off of your first three months when you sign up or if you're already signed up you will upgrade to a gold subscription for half price so remember to keep that in mind and please tune in for the election night show it's going to be some really good fun isn't it it's going to be great and we've got some really special guests coming in as well not to spoil anything
	Has Dr. Nima Parveni not trademarked the zero seats thing?
	I bet he wish he had!
	Too late!
	Sorry, that's the market for you!
	You should have read your own book!
	You snooze, you lose, Nima!
	Alright, so as we discovered at the end of the last segment, people just don't really care anymore if you call them racist.
	In fact, some people, Europeans in general, are starting to go like, okay, well, if you call me racist, okay, I mean, you're standing up for your people as you identify them, your group's rights.
	Well, if politics is just a group activity now where you split yourself down racial lines, whatever, okay, we'll do the same thing.
	This is why in Germany in particular you're getting things like the Auslander Raus phenomenon.
	Which has been popping up.
	Is there a word for that?
	Is it sectarianism?
	Sectarian, tribalism, anything.
	And this is something that really doesn't actually come very naturally to us.
	It's kind of something that's been pushed on us for a long time following the Second World War when we were starting to get this dribble of immigration come in.
	People were kind of going like, oh okay, well as long as they assimilate.
	I can accept it.
	And then they didn't.
	And then you got more and more and more and more and they have even less reason to assimilate.
	The foundation stone of Boomer Truth is to work against your own interests, right?
	Exactly.
	Isn't it?
	One of the cornerstones of it anyway.
	But the thing that I'm interested in now is that the meme magic is of course real.
	We all know this.
	Meme magic basically got Trump into office in 2016.
	Meme magic got Brexit through.
	It's our daily bread here at Let's Eat Stockholm, isn't it?
	Auschlander Rausch is a wonderful meme that's spread across Germany, and the meme magic is spreading elsewhere, mainly through TikTok, of all things.
	You know, most people this time last year were complaining about TikTok, Chinese spyware, now it's being used for stuff like this.
	And Kutny Druckpott, of course, one of the great journalists, catalogers of culture of our time.
	Probably the greatest journalist of our time.
	Yep.
	Has been going through and finding things like this.
	Incredible things happening in France.
	TikTok's being flooded with right-wing content.
	Zuma has a response to those who call her racist.
	Me?
	Racist?
	Shit, okay!
	And it's going along with songs as well.
	What do you want me to answer?
	I don't care.
	This is the classic meme energy.
	You say something based with some kind of Europop or EDM going on in the background.
	Zoomers respond very well to this.
	You put a little leaflet through a Zoomer's door saying, here's all the reason.
	No, no, no, no, no, no.
	You put a leaflet with a QR code.
	They scan the QR code and it brings them to some kind of GigaChad dancing over the Empire Windrush or something like that.
	That's gonna be what wins them over.
	You also get things like this as well.
	This is an interesting one where they've taken a new viral song.
	So they've done the same thing with the Auschlander Raus, where they've taken an old dance song from the 1990s.
	And this one's called J'ai pas tiré pas, which means I won't leave, yes you will leave.
	And this particular video has 300,000 views on TikTok.
	Good riddance and don't come back.
	As you came, you will leave.
	And then...
	I won't play too much of it, because I assume the song is copyright, but you can see where the energy is going, and there's a lot of this going around.
	She had brown eyes though, so... Oh, not a real A-10 air here, no.
	Yeah, so she's, you know, be careful.
	Oh, fuck this.
	The metal bits sigh up.
	But it seems to me that what's obviously happening is the most effective campaign is to get... Attractive women to promote me.
	Attractive young women to sing along with nationalist songs.
	Who'd have thought?
	Who'd have thought?
	Just get- yep.
	By the way, I love being French.
	I love my country being what it should be.
	There you go.
	And the media has been complaining about this.
	It is really nice to see, though.
	It is really nice to see that the younger generation, it's there.
	Because, you know, we've said for a while, and I think people like- I think I first heard it was Steve Turley, or maybe even before anyone was aware of Steve Turley, but this idea that leftism
	um in sort of the 1960s and 70s and onwards that was the counterculture um that was the thing to rebel against the sort of sort of ultra-conservatism of the the world war ii era generation and that it really has flipped now oh yeah so to where right-wing politics is the new avant-garde it's the new Because you're not allowed.
	Because you're not allowed.
	You've got a bunch of, you know, aging leftists going, oh no, that's racist, that's bad, you're not allowed to say that, you're not allowed to do that.
	And if you want to be rebellious and say, no, get effed, well you've got to... Your parents and grandparents are sort of arch reds.
	Maybe.
	Crypto-communists.
	So you go, well no, I reject all of that.
	It's great.
	You have to see it.
	This is what happens in Germany when they said, OK, 16-year-olds can vote now, because they were ashamed.
	Because they just go, well, obviously, all teenagers and young people are automatically retarded, so leftist.
	and it turned out no actually they all voted for well most of them voted for the afd and the thing is like i don't know why they think this as well because the you know i remember being young i was quite clever i just didn't know anything you know but it doesn't mean i'm stupid well i think it's partly obviously it's a big factor of the sort of rebelliousness that can and the energy that can come with youth
	but also i think it's something more primal than that which is that these young people are growing up in countries where they...
	Terrible.
	Yeah, they know from their parents and their grandparents that there was a time before now when things worked, when their country was for them.
	And they're growing up in a country that isn't just opening the floodgates to foreigners who hate them and actively say they're supporting that.
	and they're persecuting you for saying otherwise.
	So these people are growing up with much more of a consciousness of what's going on around them than even I did 20 years ago when I was eight years old and going through to my teenage years as well.
	You just didn't get any of that feeling because things hadn't declined quite as badly as they had now.
	And it's in the Labour manifesto that they're going to reduce the voting age to 16.
	So hopefully they'll vote for Nigel in 29.
	Hopefully.
	But yeah, again, the dynamic of the actual boomer generation, or the generation slightly younger than the true boomer generation, It was their experience growing up, or even at us when we were young, that the young people would be lefty, that you'd idolise or you'd be interested in sort of the life of Che Guevara, for example.
	I literally had a Che Guevara poster on my bedroom wall.
	Yeah, I know, ridiculous, right?
	Wait, what happened?
	What did he do?
	What was his life like?
	Oh, wait, maybe I'll take that down.
	Yeah, I'm not a fan of this guy.
	Yeah, but so they think, I think, That whole dynamic still exists, and it just doesn't.
	If anything, it's been flipped.
	So I hope they don't wake up to it.
	It's kind of inconceivable that the young people would not think, hang on a second, why would I want to be left-wing?
	That means supporting all of the power structures that are making everything worse.
	And they hate me.
	Explicitly.
	And it's not just that they hate you.
	I mean, that's a big part of it.
	But it's also become evident that they're having their futures stolen from them.
	The current establishment is genuinely stealing their future and saying, no, you just won't have a country in the future.
	What you'll have is a multi-culti paradise that everyone will have a claim on.
	And you'll just be one voice among many.
	So why the hell would I want that?
	How is that good for anyone?
	I'm not going to get married and have kids in that.
	So good for them.
	Yeah, and there's some funny lines from this article where they say, some rhymes from this Elektra remix include, you will leave, as you came you will go, when Bardella, who I think is the head of the National Rally at the moment, who's also a Zoomer as far as I'm aware.
	He's a bit older than a Zoomer.
	Well still, close enough.
	When Bardella passes, you will return home, you will leave with your Fatma, finished in the RSA, the boat does not wait, you can pray all day, and you're starting to annoy us.
	So pretty on the nose!
	The frog began to hate.
	And this is spreading across TikTok, which is interesting.
	And there was a news report from France where Drucker himself makes a tiny little cameo.
	If I skip around here when they're saying, oh God, isn't it terrible?
	This song is so racist.
	It's evil.
	I can't believe they're supporting Bardella.
	Here's a little shot of some of the accounts who are spreading this.
	And as it goes down, it's blurred them out.
	Wait a second.
	Wait a second, who's that there?
	There's our boy!
	There he is, he's making the news.
	Most impactful journalist of the 21st century.
	So impactful, I mean, it's even passing to... Our old boy Zermor.
	This is the song.
	This is on... This is on his official Twitter account.
	I love the zoomer and boomer handshake, man.
	He just posted that.
	It's like, you know what?
	Yeah, and so far, it seems that a lot of this energy has been confined to the continent.
	A lot of it's been Germany, now France, probably other countries across the continent.
	And Britain has been quite slow in taking this up, but there is beginning To be a noticeable shift among the younger generations.
	Noticeably, this clip came out recently.
	So I saw a lot of people on the right really like hammering Aaron Bastani for these clips and I don't know why at all because he asked perfectly reasonable questions, he didn't misquote them, he didn't accuse them of anything.
	He didn't interrupt them like Politics Joe do sometimes.
	Exactly.
	And he presented their entire answers in context.
	So I think Aaron did a perfectly good job of this.
	And actually, like we're about to see, this is a real eye-opener.
	I still think Aaron's got some kind of anon account.
	Reactionary tendencies.
	I think he's got an anon account where he follows a few people.
	Well there are lots of leftists who call him Beefsteak.
	Really?
	It's the Beefsteak Nazis.
	Oh, what's that?
	Well, they're starting to disavow... The communists who joined the Nazi party were called Beefsteak Nazis.
	Oh, okay.
	So they're starting to see Mr. Fully Automated Luxury Communism.
	They call him Brown, yeah.
	Oh my God.
	They say his politics are brown because he's... He's gonna get his brown shirts on.
	Yeah.
	The stomping boots.
	But in Aaron's defence, he's a father, right?
	Yeah.
	And he's looking around at the reality of what's going on and being like, okay, the ideology makes perfect sense, I'm a communist, but...
	Look at reality.
	So anyway.
	He was explicitly against like the poppy appeal that wasn't he?
	Do you remember that?
	I mean he's probably done a load of communist stuff I really disagree with.
	But people aren't static they change.
	But I will say also these interviews are fair and well done so I'll give him credit for that.
	But let's play a bit for those of you who haven't watched.
	It's three minutes long so I'll try and just get some of the good stuff and it's interesting towards the end as well so.
	England's England.
	And sometimes I don't even want to be here.
	Why's that?
	Well, it's getting worse.
	Too many bloody foreigners.
	You look around, there's a foreigner.
	No more England.
	Might as well name it something else.
	Hell.
	Hell?
	Why Hell?
	There's too many foreigners.
	Greg's in a gay flag.
	There we go.
	Hell's too many foreigners.
	I didn't even see that flag!
	What does that mean?
	Oh, I love this as well.
	This is so interesting.
	You have homeless English people.
	Not getting housed.
	But you have immigrants that come here.
	They're illegal and they get housed.
	It's a joke.
	So just illegal... You're saying just illegal... But legal... I'm talking about... I just asked that... Just about legal migrants.
	Yeah, but even if they're legal immigrants, they still shouldn't be put over English people.
	No.
	We spend too much tax money on immigrants.
	And I think that's a joke.
	And we should worry about our own people before others.
	Do you think the political class generally are doing that then?
	No.
	I think the Conservative Party is an absolute joke and young people in this country don't have a voice and it makes me sick.
	So if you could vote lads, who would you vote for?
	Who would I vote for?
	Reform UK probably.
	I mean, can I just say as well, the most shocking thing for me is that in the middle of the street, in the middle of this interview, a clearly mixed race kid comes up and says all of this stuff.
	That was very, very surprising to me.
	But while the general tendency from what I've seen from the Meghan Markles seems to point one way, this guy obviously seems to have respect for potentially both sides of his heritage.
	So I respect that.
	Well the thing is, Aaron falls into this trap too.
	He's mixed race heritage, therefore his skin is more brown than usual.
	Therefore he can't consider himself English.
	But it's like, his mum and dad are English.
	You inherit your heritage through your lineage.
	So he is English whether he likes it or not.
	Regardless of the colour of his skin, he has an English lineage.
	It's just the way that works.
	So you have these younger people saying that, oh yeah, well I'm probably going to vote reform if I'm going to be voting, and then towards the end you start speaking to some young girls as well and asking them their opinion and what they've got to say.
	You need to get them on TikTok.
	Doesn't matter, yeah.
	Shouldn't you be singing songs?
	Oh come on, Lode.
	Samson, what's going on?
	Be patient.
	No, I'm a zoomer.
	No, I can't.
	Another rainbow in the background.
	Yeah.
	So where are they?
	Where is this again?
	Um, this is in Clacton.
	Oh, is it in Clacton again?
	Oh, okay.
	That's all right.
	He's actually in Clacton.
	And that's the thing, like the rainbow flags in the background, like good spot, you know, this woke stuff is everywhere, but it's not connecting with the people on the ground, obviously.
	The people on the ground are just like, there's too many foreigners, what are you doing?
	Either way, these girls who might be in college or school or maybe in the first years of uni, they say that all of their friends around their age, they didn't care about politics, but with this election coming... Sorry, it's in Chichester.
	Oh, Chichester, yeah.
	Their friends are starting to actually get interested and starting to get a bit more of a consciousness about this stuff, and they're all going to be voting reform.
	And he said, where are they getting these ideas from?
	What's swayed them to that side?
	And she just says, oh yeah, they're getting it all on TikTok.
	We need to get Daisy to up Notasita's TikTok game.
	She does!
	Yeah, she does.
	She does a great job.
	But the media is starting to question, why is this happening?
	Why are young people not being shitlibs like they normally are?
	Why aren't they morons?
	What's going on?
	What's happened?
	And they say, how reform seduced Gen Z. Their manifesto is like a wish list.
	What?
	Hang on!
	What do you mean?
	They won't add on to taxes?
	They're planning on sending foreign criminals back?
	What's going on?
	How do they seduce them?
	Sorry, so the essence of this complaint is that the reform manifesto sounds good.
	Yeah.
	These are good ideas that people would like.
	Oh no, well they've been seduced by the far right.
	So this is interesting.
	So it says, according to the Telegraph analysis, data from four major pollsters suggests as many as 16% of 18 to 24 year olds intend to vote reform next week.
	Now this is second place because Labour is still massively in the lead with 47%.
	But, it's stronger than Lib Dems who are 14%, it's stronger than Conservatives, so I think it went from like 13% to single digit percents.
	And the polls aren't destiny, but it definitely shows that there is a shift, especially if you go down, I think they've got a graph in here, of the change.
	Change in voting intention of voters aged 18 to 24 since the start of the election campaign.
	And all of a sudden, just since the beginning of the campaign, the only other ones who've actually made any gains are the Lib Dems.
	Reform are the ones who've made all of the gains.
	And whether or not this translates in the election, it definitely shows a change in the mindset among certain subsection.
	Do you remember a few months ago, it was a few months ago now, the actual Conservative Party, sort of youth, the young Conservatives, it was just all folded.
	They disbanded.
	Yeah, they just disbanded themselves, didn't they?
	It's over.
	And now some of those same people, people like our own Conor, and some people in and around him, have been calling for reform to make it sort of a youth chapter or something.
	Yeah, absolutely should, yeah.
	And again, we have to give it to social media campaigns done through TikTok seem to be getting a lot of traction, especially for Nigel in particular, because he just posts all sorts of wacky stuff on his TikTok.
	Well I was yeah yeah it's Jack Anderton but clearly he's got an excellent team behind him who know how to use the social media that they have access to and David Atherton's been posting stuff like even just post stuff like oh people don't want you to drink and have a good time watching the Euros you have a good time you only live once so why not just have a few beers with your mates and watch the football Simple stuff like that comes across.
	I mean, come on.
	Like, does Rishi... Does Rishi say anything like that?
	Do you think that Keir Starmer has the ability to enjoy himself on a sunny day with a beer?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Keir Starmer would be like, okay, well, you know, we need to measure out the metrics and we need to make sure that it's cleared on the spreadsheet.
	I need to present my five-year plan.
	My five-point plan for how we're going to be tackling the Euros this year.
	How we're going to have fun on the Euros night.
	Okay.
	Whereas Nigel actually, for any faults he may have, It comes across like a human being.
	Yeah, yeah.
	You wouldn't catch Niaj eating a hot dog with a knife and fork, would you?
	There's a picture of Rishi Sinhak the other day.
	He's got a pint in a pub, but it's full of water.
	It's like, why have you got a pint of water in a pub?
	That doesn't make you relatable.
	It makes you look weird.
	And then again, what really attracts Zoomers?
	Unlike the rest, I don't use script.
	I've come out of retirement, back into politics, with passion in my heart.
	Speeches with banging tracks behind them.
	That's how you get the Zoomer attention.
	Can we get some retro 16-bit graphics on it as well?
	Oh, yeah, yeah.
	You've got to put some strange filters so that people watching it go, I'm cool.
	I'm cool.
	Oh, yeah.
	And then they do this one, which is from the Young Reformers TikTok.
	So we are saying that the conservative party is one.
	It has spread so far, so wide.
	So congratulations Nima, you should have copyrighted it.
	You should have put the patent in there before.
	And like you say, it's Jack Anderton, this guy, saying the brains behind the social media blitz is 23-year-old Jack Anderton, who's been working for Farage for a number of months.
	Social media whiz has also remarked that Rishi Sunak doesn't believe in our people, our history, or our culture, especially following the D-Day thing, and has claimed that Britain has millions of people living here who hate our country.
	He's argued that immigration is stealing the future of British youth.
	So exactly mirroring what you said there.
	I wonder if and when they'll come round to the policy of that a mass re-migration needs to happen.
	Yeah, I mean they can't be far off of that.
	You know that these guys here, even these girls, and these guys at the beginning of this video here, they want to say it.
	Well, they're all but saying it.
	They want to say it.
	When you say there's too many foreigners here, the implication is they need to just go back to where they came from.
	That's the implication in the statement itself.
	Why would you say it if that wasn't what you meant?
	But yeah, that's all I really need to say on that, which is that as much as TikTok may annoy some people, it does actually have some useful propaganda and recruiting purposes.
	Who knew?
	Shall we go on to the video comments?
	Some Lotus Eaters may recall a certain talented commenter who would perform magic tricks whilst expostulating about the world.
	Cedric Purcell has not been seen here for a while, but his YouTube channel is still going strong, and his particular brand of charm and skill is entertaining to watch.
	He left us with a comment that he had proposed to his girlfriend, and I'm happy to report they are now married.
	Do give his YouTube channel a subscription.
	Oh, congratulations!
	I do love magic tricks as well.
	That's fantastic.
	In the last European elections, the Confederacy Party decided to hold a competition challenge between two candidates on the Silesian ballot.
	It was obvious that only one candidate would win a seat.
	So they've placed an unknown but claimed to be a hard-working in the party structure's candidate in the first position, and a charismatic popular candidate in the last slot.
	The plan worked, and the difference between them was tiny.
	As the partial results were published bit by bit, the difference was as low as 8 votes.
	Finally, Sosniacz has lost by 49 votes.
	My point is, if you truly believe in the Reform's victory over the Conservatives, talk to every person you can possibly convince.
	Every vote matters.
	That's totally true.
	If you're watching this, it's your job to just speak to someone you know about it.
	If you're thinking about voting Labour or Conservative, just be like, come on.
	It's time.
	I do think it is more incumbent upon particularly people like us.
	To say exactly that, have a conversation in your own family over at the breakfast table or whatever it is, at barbecues, whatever.
	It doesn't have to be, in fact it's always best if it's not adversarial and aggressive.
	No.
	But just if there's someone in your family that's just like an adamant red, just push back against them a bit, a little bit.
	By that you mean a Conservative voter?
	Something funny happened the other day which is my missus was at the pub with some of her friends and they're all you know like alternative lefty type girls and she just started explaining to them why is she's planning on voting for reform and she was actually bringing all of them over on side not even using you know radical arguments or anything just saying you know like I mean the country can only handle so much people with the infrastructure Just simple stuff like that.
	And then some random mid-30s millennial shows up out of nowhere eavesdropping on the conversation to call her a racist.
	And she turns around and her friends get her to stop arguing with him after she eventually just resorts to going, are you retarded or something?
	And it's usually quite easy, like the whole Rotten Edifice falls down quite quickly when you push on it.
	You can do the classic Socrates thing of when some commie stroke Tory party member says something that's obviously socialist.
	You can just be like, is that the case though?
	Yeah.
	And then give them a bit of rope.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And they say, you know, they say something like, you know, that, for example, all the boat people are refugees or something.
	You say, are they though?
	Why are they 90% men?
	And that's it.
	You don't have to go, no, they're not, because da-da-da-da-da, and Enoch Powell, and da-da-da-da-da.
	Yeah, yeah.
	You can just go, is it the case?
	Take some notes from Keir Polliver in, you know, say who, when, how, why.
	Yeah.
	And get them to hang themselves.
	You're absolutely right.
	Yeah.
	Like, you see people do it about Trump.
	Trump's a racist.
	Oh, well, what's the exact quote where he said something racist?
	Nigel Farage is a racist.
	Oh, is he though?
	Yeah.
	So what, what, what, give me, give me the quote and send me a link to when he said, did that and they've, the rotten edifice collapses very quickly, nearly always.
	I've got a bad feeling about what this next clip is going to be.
	I've got it.
	Yeah, I know what this is going to be.
	Go on, go on, hit us.
	And of course, for the very online, Skibbity Biden.
	Yeah. Skibbity Biden. Skibbity, skibbity Biden. Skibbity Biden.
	Joe, Joe, Joe. Skibbity, skibbity Biden.
	Hitler's language.
	Trump, Trump.
	Trump is using Hitler's language.
	Hitler's language. Trump is using Hitler's language. Skibbity, skibbity.
	Actually more coherent than the debate last night.
	I've never seen that before.
	NPCs clap and cheer.
	How much context do you want for this?
	None.
	There you go, let's move on.
	I don't think Trump speaks German either.
	That's all of them.
	Let's read some of the comments.
	Fiesta asks when Islander will be shipped out and I have been reliably informed it'll be the end of the first week of July.
	So, very soon.
	Look forward to that.
	Sam also asks, is the Gold Tier Zoom call going to be today?
	And that is indeed going to be after the podcast.
	Yeah, three o'clock.
	Luca says, who's more of a vegetable at this point?
	Joe Biden not having this sixth.
	Well, I mean, I'm going to charitably give it to Henry VI, because he's been dead for a few hundred years.
	He actually suffered from actual mutism, didn't he?
	Yeah.
	Almost semi-comatose mutism.
	Joe Biden's only been dead for a few hundred decades.
	A few dozen decades.
	Bay Stapes says, I can't actually believe they've decided to run Biden again.
	I can't even think of a way to joke about it.
	This is just sad.
	Yeah, it is kind of sad.
	That's the thing.
	It's like, it's just like, This is why Trump actually came across quite well.
	That RNC video was kind of difficult to get through.
	It reminded me of my grandfather when he was passing away, so.
	Yeah, I know.
	Which is really hard to watch.
	He should be sitting in a nursing home eating ice cream.
	Yeah.
	In Florida, so your toes don't ache.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Nira Rila sends us a super chat and says, I think the question most normies are asking themselves after the debate is, who's actually performing the duties of the president?
	Because it's certainly not Biden.
	That's the thing, everyone can see.
	Luke says, managed to catch the podcast live today, which is probably a good thing, as the YouTube gods will not allow any comments about the Trump to Biden debate, as Sleepy Joe did so badly.
	No, I think it's going to be one of those things where the dam is broken and the flood will deluge itself over the landscape, and even YouTube's like, we can't delete every comment.
	Because every comment is going to be like, I just suck.
	This Chase Ball comment's great.
	It was nice to see a refined and collected Trump.
	I do miss 2016 Trump.
	They call him poopy jokes, he pooped his diaper in front of the Pope.
	I would never have done that, everyone agrees, I have the best bowel function, maybe ever.
	Yeah, but it was nice to see Trump being quite refined and collected, actually.
	He came across in a much more respectable way while Joe Biden was just zoning out.
	Grant says, they did six days of preparation for the debate.
	I think they genuinely thought the pharmaceutical team could pull it off to keep their stuff shut in the White House for another four years.
	Sulfine says, SuperChat says they replaced him after the debates so they don't have the replacement debate him.
	I will say I don't think he's got so much of a pharmaceutical team as a morgue that's running and pumping him full of formaldehyde.
	Furious Dan says the debate couldn't have gone better for Trump.
	He was never going to convince Dem voters to vote for him, but by letting Biden crash and burn himself he's crushed their hopes instead.
	Yeah, no, I think that's totally true.
	I actually really think the CNN buzzer, like the silencing of the mic thing, actually really plagued Trump in the advantage.
	Because if he'd been constantly dogging on Biden, it would have made Biden look a lot more sympathetic.
	So they actually really did him a service there.
	Josie's Angels sends a super chat and says, here's the matter.
	Is the US economy divorced from the consumers enough from the consumers that will matter?
	Can Disney, et cetera, survive on WEF funding strategies?
	There is no way they let Trump take office.
	I think they're going to be in a position where they just can't help it.
	That's the thing, I don't think they're absolute masters of the system or anything.
	And so I think they're going to be in a position where people are just like, OK, Biden's just died.
	We're sorry.
	We're going to vote for the living candidate, even if he's Donald Trump.
	I do find it a bit funny, interesting, funny, when people say they won't let Trump into office.
	If you've forgotten, he already did.
	They already did.
	We already had it once.
	They're not that in control of the system.
	They have a lot of influence, but they're not the absolute masters.
	When the Alan Dulles-run CIA murdered JFK, when that happened, we just don't live in that world anymore, I don't think.
	Because they were, people like Alan Dulles, was a true Cold Warrior.
	He'd fought in World War, well not fought, he'd been in the intelligence service, the OSS, all through World War II.
	He was born in the very late 19th century.
	So anyway, he was dealing with what was going through his mind was war, real war.
	Where you murder people and they drop the hat.
	I hate to cut this off, but we're running out of time.
	Sorry, I apologise.
	Josie's Angels again sends another suitchat saying, a US farm supply company was called out for DEI and caved within 48 hours.
	Complete surrender.
	That's superb.
	Warlord Wututai says, the guy on Politics Joe interview actually has his finger totally on the pulse of how the native English voters are thinking and the loveys will simply dismiss him because he's not exactly Shakespeare, the cheek.
	Yeah, they love doing this.
	I'm a political expert.
	I'm going to talk to someone who is totally ignorant on the subject and ask them their opinion.
	Then I'm going to condescend to them as to why they hold that opinion.
	It's like, mate, they vote.
	It doesn't matter why they do.
	You know, you can try and humiliate them as much as you want, but they're still going to vote for Farage.
	So maybe you should learn your place.
	The Crusader says, we recorded extremely offensive yawn.
	Try saying something I haven't heard a million times before, Jono.
	I don't care if it's offensive.
	I'm glad people are taking this attitude at this point.
	Thomas, I can't read that quote.
	Faux Pas says, I thought being racist was Nigel's unique selling point.
	Moving on to the Radical Zoomers.
	Empire says, you tried to boil the frog and the frog noticed.
	Charlie says, it makes sense that 16 year olds are going right wing rather than left.
	Whether they realize it or not, the reason seems to be a combination of seeing what their country is becoming, but also because the right wing is the new counterculture.
	True.
	Omar says, as one of those mixed-race kids, I'm immune to race guilt.
	England for the English, Auslander Aus.
	Based.
	Colin says, yeah, I'm starting to get amazed at how many fellow noticers there are among my fellow zoomers.
	Even the more left-leaning ones are realising the damage mass immigration has caused.
	This is again something I've noticed.
	Even my lefty friends are starting to think, well, actually, the shit-lib paradise that I want to live in doesn't mesh well with mass immigration.
	Weird that, isn't it?
	It's so weird.
	Roman Observer says, young people want to rebel.
	They will rebel and follow the cool trend against the established suffocating left-wing culture.
	But it doesn't have to just be left-wing culture.
	There's an established suffocating right-wing culture that people like John Cleese were, you know, ribbing all through their careers.
	And now that's disappeared and John Cleese is like, okay, I've got to be the person who tells you what right from wrong is.
	I can't do that.
	I'm a clown.
	I've got no moral thought, affirmative moral thought.
	I can only critique what other people do, and that's the problem the left has.
	But let's hope this seed bears fruit.
	Yeah, I totally agree.
	For some reason, people are interested in Harry's mug.
	Well, that's because it seems that somebody in chat encouraged them to be, and so we have a few comments on my mug.
	Which isn't anyone's business.
	Harry, that mug is better than Biden's underpants after the debate last night.
	It's probably true.
	I don't think it's quite that.
	The Dragonhawk says, dear Harry, please stop using your mug to create a biohazard in Swindon.
	It's the only way that I can keep the migrants away from me.
	A health violation that should be nuked from orbit?
	No.
	Quite possible.
	Dirty Harry in the story of one Lotus Eater and his filthy mug.
	Sounds like a good film to me.
	Someone online says, if I increase my sub to gold again will it fund a new mug for Harry?
	Harry, can I see your mug?
	I don't know but it's worth a try, right?
	It's absolutely worth a try.
	Why can't we just get you a new mug?
	Well, there's an interesting story behind this.
	There's an interesting story behind this.
	Someone I think last year now, late last year, said that they were sending me in a new HP Lovecraft mug.
	Oh, okay.
	But it's never shown up.
	Oh.
	And so I'm still holding out with my heart of hearts that it wasn't just a joke, and in fact I will receive an HP Lovecraft mug that hopefully doesn't have the name of his cat on it.
	But for the time being, it still works.
	It holds liquid, it holds coffee, doesn't it?
	No one questioned the functionality of the mug.
	The disease vector.
	There is no disease in it, and if there is, I am refining my immune system.
	Every day.
	I'm vaccinating myself day in day out against all manner of diseases.
	I don't even know yet.
	The Swindon wet market basically.
	Ann says, can we get Lotus Eaters predictions for reform seats?
	I have Bo on the book 7, what say you Harry and Karl?
	How many seats do you reckon reform will get?
	I'm going to be optimistic and say 25.
	See, it really depends on how things go, right?
	Because, again, there are a couple more days and anything could change.
	And there could be like a quiet reform vote that comes out.
	Well, that's what I'm thinking is that the polls aren't everything.
	Not everybody is answering the polls.
	The polls said Brexit wasn't going to happen.
	People often lie to pollsters.
	The polls said that Trump wasn't going to get in in 2016.
	Yeah, it could be a shock.
	I mean, there was a poll the other day that had Farage on like 50 seats or something, which was like, oh my God, that would be an actual earthquake.
	Well, I've seen everything from them not actually winning any seats put in a UKIP to 187 and 90th PM in a week's time.
	So I think... I'm not saying I think it's going to happen.
	I think between five and ten is realistic.
	Yeah.
	And I'd take one.
	Yeah, I'd take one.
	I'd vote for Raj in Parliament.
	There are a lot of seats that don't have reform candidates, like my personal constituency doesn't have one.
	But I'll say fifteen.
	Alright then, that's all the time we've got, but for all of you people with Gold tier subscriptions, join us again in about 30 minutes so you can join us for the Gold tier Zoom call.
	For everybody else, remember that you can use the Zero Seats promo code to get 50% off of a Gold subscription for three months.
	And an election night stream as well.
	But anyway, we'll see you again in about half an hour.
