	Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for today, the 24th of July I'm your host, Connor, joined by Carl, and Fox News contributor and New York Post euphemism headline enjoyer, Rorik Nationalist.
	How are you, sir?
	Hello, it's great to be here.
	Yeah, well, thank you for making your on-screen debut with us.
	For those who don't know, you were doxxed by Hope Not Hate recently.
	We'll get into that shortly, but I instantly sent you a DM saying, don't worry, trustworthy physiognomy, you're welcome on any time.
	I appreciate it.
	I really do.
	Yep, fantastic.
	So today we'll be discussing whether or not Joe Biden is still alive, because we have to ask that question, how Kamala Mania is entirely astroturfed, and how liberals are losing their mind over J.D.
	Vance.
	It's very American heavy today, but if you haven't noticed, a lot's going on over there and not much over here.
	So, something that is going on over here, though, if you are subscribed to the website, for as little as £5 a month, you'll be able to watch my show on Wednesday afternoon.
	Today I'm talking about the competency crisis in relation to the recent hearings with now-resigned Director of the Secret Service, Kimberley Cheetle, and I'll also be talking to Dr Warren Farrell about his new book, From Rolemate to Soulmate, about the upcoming ARC conference, what he thinks about the US general election, all that good stuff.
	Live, you're welcome to go see it if you are subscribed.
	But before we jump into today's news stories, we've got your links up here.
	There's your Twitter, you'll notice known for your pseudonym, your handle, and obviously for Man's World Magazine.
	You were gracious enough to bring in a print copy, and it is high quality, so I recommend people go out and get their copy after you've bought Islander, of course, which you've already written for as well.
	But you've done this article.
	And this was detailing your doxxing.
	So do you mind giving us a little rundown of how Hope Not Hate and some other nefarious forces outed you?
	Yeah, of course.
	So the piece starts off actually with an anecdote about a recent visit to a farm shop.
	So I go to a variety of different farm shops in my locality, one of which sells raw milk.
	And I went there a couple of weeks ago and the owner, or the person running the shop, came over to me and said, oh, Charlie, Charlie, come look at this.
	And he puts an email in my hand from a business insider, Jones, saying, I have reason to believe that a chap who goes by the moniker Raw Egg Nationalist shops at your farm shop.
	And could you give me his name?
	I won't tell anybody.
	I won't tell anybody that you've given me his name.
	So I had this little scare.
	And I thought, oh well, you know, they've come close.
	They've come very close, but they haven't got me yet.
	And then, two weeks later...
	This Hope Not Hate expose on me, expose as they called it cutely, drops and my identity is revealed, my physical form is revealed to the world and so this piece basically is about the fact that I think Hope Not Hate doxxed me with the help of the government in some way.
	It's about this thing called parallel construction which is A journalistic technique, it's a technique used by the intelligence services, by law enforcement as well, when they get information in a dirty way, basically.
	When they get information from sources, when they break in and steal something, when they hack a computer, they invent a credible story to explain how they got the information legally.
	And that's basically what Hope Not Hate did.
	So they said in this expose, oh yes, we found some old posts, we found an old text message that Rorik Nationalist posted and we managed to decipher his name from it and they said some other stuff as well.
	They said that I posted some pictures of my garden and somehow that contributed to their... I mean, I posted a picture of my squat rack on my patio with no sky, nothing, you know, no identifiable features, just a squat rack on a patio and they're saying that that was...
	But that was how they found me.
	So the piece really is just about the fact that actually Western governments, intelligence services are trying to disrupt the right.
	They're trying to disrupt the popular right.
	And I think what they're probably doing is colluding with activist organizations like Hope Not Hate to To dox people.
	They're giving them tip-offs, they're providing them with information so they can do these exposés and make right-wingers like me afraid for my life and afraid maybe for my family's life.
	We covered a little while ago how the Home Office is giving Hope Not Hate through various organisations like the Paul Hamlin Foundation but also just direct subsidies of hundreds of thousands of pounds every year.
	What I found quite interesting is a parallel case to yours was the Lomas case.
	Yes.
	Jonathan Kieperman, who was outed by a disgusting looking Guardian journalist as being a handsome father and an excellent academic.
	Oh no!
	What a shame!
	I know.
	Any such cases?
	Quite, yeah.
	Every time they out one of our guys, it turns out that they just look better than them.
	Congratulations, I suppose.
	Thank you.
	Didn't you find out that Bellingcat was involved in his one as well?
	Aren't they just basically a CIA front?
	Yes, they are.
	So Jason Wilson, the mutant who dots Loméz, I mean, he's a nasty, nasty chap.
	He really is a confirmed case of physiognomy being a good guide to the contents of a person's soul, if indeed he actually has one.
	But yeah, he works.
	I mean, he's Antifa.
	He's hand in glove with Antifa.
	He's from Portland, Oregon, and he's worked for Bellingcat.
	I mean, he parades that around, you know.
	That's no secret and yes I mean this the parallel construction in the in the Jonathan Keeperman case was much more elaborate and so the the Guardian docs was you know three three thousand words maybe and there was like a thousand words about how he picked up the trail from company records and old blog posts and all that sort of stuff but fundamentally I think again it's a parallel construction so there were rumors that a certain
	Intrigue on the American right certain A conservative figure who likes to engage in Machiavellian behaviour had been going around in New York.
	Are we thinking of the same person who might or might not write for Compact?
	Who might or might not run Compact, yeah.
	Yeah, because the reason I say that is because my friend Nina Power, who's guested here before, has just been kicked out of her editorial position for a completely bogus libel lawsuit over that as well.
	So that particular individual is not in my good books either.
	Yeah, he's... I'm told he's not a very nice chap.
	He's a real schemer.
	And anyway, he was going around asking for Lomez by name.
	Which was obviously a way of saying, look, I know your name, and guess what?
	When you least expect it, I'm going to write one of my famous concerned centrist pieces for Compact, exposing you.
	Anyway, it turns out that Loméz was given right of reply.
	So this was all to do with an article that Loméz wrote for First Things called The Longhouse, which is...
	It's about a concept that's taken from Bronze Age mindset and Lomé's elaborated on it and it ruffled a lot of feathers because First Things is a reputable journal and reputable journals shouldn't be hosting anonymous right wing figures.
	And so this chap, this Ellis Islander, decided that what he would do was try and ruin Jonathan's life and publish this expose.
	But he was turned off doing so by somebody at First Things, I think, who said, look, if you publish this, we will give him a right of reply in the magazine.
	So the suggestion is that maybe what he did was he just handed off that information to Jason Wilson.
	But then the other suggestion, which I make in the essay, is that actually it's just another form of parallel construction.
	Maybe a government contact gave Jonathan Keeperman's name to Jason Wilson.
	But either way, the broad thesis of the piece is just that.
	Governments are colluding with radical organisations to keep a lid on the populist right, basically.
	Well, I wish you the best of luck with securing information from Hope Not Hate as to how they doxxed you.
	And until that happens, I suppose let's jump into today's stories with a very relevant question.
	Is Joe Biden still alive?
	We've reached that point in the presidential election cycle where he has dropped out, mysteriously, but during the dropping out process didn't appear on camera, and so raised a lot of questions as to the state of his health and his mental acumen.
	Now, spoiler alert, as of constructing this segment, he has been pictured in person We can't guarantee he'll last till the end of it.
	No, no.
	But he is alive.
	But I'm just going to go over the so-called conspiracy theory that led people to ask the credible question as to whether or not we were in a death of Stalin style situation.
	So the headline that came out of this was of course from regime mouthpiece the New York Times, the far right spreading baseless claims about Biden's whereabouts.
	Many conspiracy theorists and far-right commentators, hello, are spreading doubts that President Biden is alive after he posted a letter on Sunday resigning from the presidential campaign.
	The theory is baseless.
	Mr Biden, who learned he had COVID on July 17th, has been in isolation since, called into a campaign event for Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday.
	We'll get to that.
	And the two exchange praise and playful banter.
	The theory adds to a torrent of falsehoods and misleading posts by right-wing influencers that have spread since Mr Biden's announcement.
	They have falsely denigrated Democrats for conducting a coup against primary voters by removing Mr Biden and have attacked Ms Harris with a deluge of sexist and racist remarks.
	How is it not a coup?
	I don't know for days George Clooney senior democrats sitting congressmen and donors were saying Joe drop out we're pulling all the funds we don't trust you Joe didn't want to drop out Joe's family certainly didn't want to drop out because they got comfy at the White House and so they exerted pressure until he dropped out But the allegation that he posted something to his social media is obviously false as well.
	So by not, obviously did not, A, write that letter, and B, post it himself.
	Why wasn't there a headed paper?
	It was Corinne Jean-Pierre who runs his Twitter account.
	It absolutely is.
	So Diversity Hire deposed her own boss, and he hasn't yet given any on-camera statements about how he feels about it.
	She's not going to be behind it.
	It'll be Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, and a few other of the sort of powerful Democrats who have just got around and said, look, we're just getting you out, Joe.
	But the thing is, this opens a whole raft of uncomfortable questions.
	Okay, so Joe Biden is not mentally fit to run for a second shot at the presidency, but for the next five months, he is still the commander-in-chief.
	He can still declare war on Iran.
	Exactly.
	Well, if someone declares war on America, he's neither got to be... He seems to have given up the duties for doing that.
	Well, that's the point.
	Then who's in charge?
	We have some names.
	We don't have all the names, I think.
	Exactly.
	So it's pretty concerning as the ambassadors of a democracy to depose the most popular elected president of all time.
	Might cast that into doubt, but hey-ho, I'm not a conspiracy theorist.
	Anyway, so let's set up the timeline for what actually happened here that led people to question it.
	So here's the information we got from a conspiracy outlet, the Wall Street Journal.
	This is Biden testing positive for COVID in an appearing Las Vegas campaign event.
	I'm just going to let that play in the background on mute because He was seen, this is the last time, he was seen on camera, right before he got into the car, and then failed to show up at the campaign event in Las Vegas, where one of his ambassadors stood up and said, Joe Biden has tested positive for Covid and so can't be with us.
	There's more life in the mummies at the British Museum.
	I'm not even joking, how do you feel?
	Like, he looks like he's about to collapse.
	Well, the rumour is that he slipped and hit his head.
	Really?
	I didn't even hear that.
	Yeah, the rumour is that he slipped and hit his head and had a stroke.
	Well, so we have more details from this, and so we also turn to conspiracy outlet the BBC, which is actually true, considering they just spread made-up nonsense about you.
	This is from a White House correspondent that was following Biden around on the campaign trail, and again, if it wasn't a coup, Regime-friendly outfit the BBC writing in this style should raise some eyebrows.
	They say, on Tuesday, I watched him energize a packed convention hall with a speech to the African-American civil rights group, the NAACP.
	I'm sure he gave similar energetic addresses to Robert Byrd's funeral as well.
	But the next morning, things began to spin out of control.
	The end of the road was the original Lindo Mico Can restaurant in Las Vegas, Nevada.
	This was one of those highly orchestrated campaign stops where the president mingles with voters.
	The press was ushered inside to capture the president's entrance.
	As the door swung open, I was struck by how pale he looked, and how much slower he seemed than the day before as he shook hands with diners.
	We shouted questions about the growing list of Democrats questioning his fitness to run.
	He didn't answer.
	Then we were hustled back to the press vans while he did a radio interview inside.
	We waited, and waited, and it was by now obvious that something was wrong.
	Suddenly, an email dropped from a BBC colleague to say the host of his next speech venue had announced on stage Mr Biden had tested positive for Covid.
	As I tried to approach the White House staffer to find out what was going on, I was abruptly ordered to get back in my van and told we were leaving.
	The motorcade began rolling and we were speeding our way through the suburbs of Las Vegas, destination unknown.
	The campaign was changing course.
	Suddenly, amid flashing lights and police outriders, the airport came into view.
	The President was going home to Delaware to recover from Covid.
	The campaign trip was over.
	On the tarmac, we had asked him one last time about waning Democrat support.
	This time he answered back, I'm doing well.
	It wasn't quite what we had asked, not really.
	Perhaps he misheard us, or perhaps he meant he believed he could survive it.
	It turns out he couldn't.
	And that's brutal.
	But that was the last time anyone had seen Joe Biden, boarding a plane due for Delaware on the 17th of July.
	So, where's Joe?
	Well, the next time people heard from him was on the 21st when he dropped out via this letter.
	Heard from him.
	And this letter, other people have done a signature comparison.
	It looks slightly different in that it usually doesn't underline his signature.
	There are also other things in it.
	Like, for example, the N at the end of Biden.
	Like, we covered this on Monday and Beau pointed out that he's looking like Guy Fawkes after he was tortured.
	Yeah.
	That kind of signature.
	It's just, it's not his signature.
	The thing is just written differently.
	The R is different as well.
	The R indeed is different.
	There's also no presidential seal.
	This is entirely personal and it's a screenshot of a pre-typed page.
	And it's not like the last time the sitting president dropped out or running for a second term, which was Lyndaby Johnson.
	He gave an impromptu 25-minute press conference detailing all the reasons why.
	The least you'd expect, really.
	Well, this is world historical.
	I mean, he is the figurehead of the global American empire, whether or not he still knows that.
	And so you would expect him to set the tone as to who his success is going to be, the reasons why he can't continue, and address all his donors and supporters.
	He did not give a single video appearance until being spotted boarding a plane last night.
	Yes.
	In an incredibly feeble state.
	And Jill Biden, I think, responded to the letter with a heart emoji, I think.
	Did she?
	Yes, she did.
	But he says, I'll speak to the nation later this week in more detail about my decision.
	That's apparently going to be tonight, isn't it?
	So I look forward to that.
	Yeah, I wonder if he just goes rogue and turns around to show the blade in his back, plunged by Brutus, you know?
	So, just mysterious, you know, got people asking questions.
	Why haven't we heard from the President, if he's completely healthy, as his physician says?
	This is from the White House doctor, Kevin O'Connor.
	Nice shout-out to Pfizer there, the manufacturer of Pax Lovid, so good that they're still getting guns.
	He's taken 11 doses of Pax Lovid, apparently.
	Is it like Mr Burns, where if he tries to counteract one illness, the rest of the architecture of his body just dilapidates.
	He's got to be careful about how much he recalibrates.
	This was July the 22nd, right?
	This was after five days after he disappeared on that plane and no one had heard for him.
	So he's healthy.
	Is he as well as he claims?
	This is according to Charlie Kirk where he says, I got a weird lead on a story that people should look into, and he got a call from a source close to Las Vegas Metro.
	The official story was that Biden's trip was cut short last week due to Covid.
	However, according to this source, The US Secret Service informed Las Vegas Metro there was an emergency situation involving Joe Biden and to close necessary streets so that the President of the United States could be transported immediately to University Medical, which they began to do in earnest.
	Mysteriously, there was a stand down order and the Secret Service informed...
	Right, so this is the fell over and had a stroke theory.
	Yes.
	Now, Laura Loomer had reported much the same on July 6th, that there'd been an earlier medical issue on Air Force One.
	which they presumed meant fly him back east ASAP.
	Apparently the rumour mill in the police department was that Joe Biden was dying or possibly dead.
	So this is the fell over and had a stroke theory.
	Yes.
	Now, Laura Loomer had reported much the same on July 6th, that there'd been an earlier medical issue on Air Force One.
	I will stress, this is Laura Loomer.
	So do take with a pillar of salt.
	She's not been right on everything, let's put it that way, but we're seeing lots of stories.
	Lots and lots of stories here that attest to the fact that Joe Biden's health is, well, as bad as everyone with a set of eyeballs on a video phone seems to suggest.
	So it's not implausible.
	Then a piece of evidence got added by a senior White House correspondent at the Daily Mail.
	So Charlie Kirk here is quote retweeting his own post, which responds to a tip-off email From someone claiming to have retired from the Las Vegas Metro and have sources there.
	And he's got texts from the fact that Las Vegas Metro police officers were making plans to take into UMC trauma, that they were meant to shut down the route and the route got redirected.
	So Joe Biden was destined for one hospital very quickly.
	He then says that Emily Goodin, senior White House correspondent for the Daily Mail from July 17th, documented the flight time from Las Vegas to Dover, Delaware, near where Biden lives, was 3 hours 48 minutes.
	So that's extremely fast, and it flew so fast that the plane seems to have shook.
	So they took off urgently, with haste.
	Why were they so panicked?
	Interesting question.
	So let's look at the route from Dover Where is that?
	Well, if we zoom out a little bit, that's where, it's right near John Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore.
	So it's plausible they could have landed in Dover, Delaware, near Biden's house, and then, obviously to throw people off the scent, if they were really sending him to a hospital because something more severe than just going home to rest from COVID was going on, they could have driven to John Hopkins within less than two hours.
	Or flown in by helicopter.
	Yes, possibly, quite.
	I don't know if anyone spotted that taking off, but it would be interesting to ask.
	So here's another thing as well.
	So the dossier from Jordan Shatnell decided to talk to some of those officers and people, I believe he got some secret service sources as well, that were there on July the 17th.
	And he has confirmed that officers working within the president's detail described Wednesday as chaotic from the very start.
	Biden was way behind his schedule before the incidents.
	Several sources said things went really haywire at the restaurants.
	That might have been where he slipped over and hit his head.
	Suddenly, when he was supposed to be scheduled to deliver the Unidos US speech, all hell broke loose.
	Several law enforcement officers on duty say they were informed over the radio that the president was dealing with an unspecified medical emergency.
	So not COVID, which they would have known.
	This was sent out on encrypted police airwaves as if something akin to a five-alarm fire had broken out.
	So, serious emergency.
	Our sources estimate it was easily hundreds of Las Vegas metropolitan officers and employees who heard the broadcast live.
	So curious media shouldn't have a problem reporting any follow-ups to this story, which makes you question why haven't they?
	If the BBC were saying that the campaign stop was very crowd-managed, if they had New York Times reporting earlier in the attempt to pressure Biden out that a lot of his interviews were pre-scripted and all the radio stations have been delivered the same question, for example that one black radio host on a local radio station that had been sacked for taking questions from the campaign, Is there a top-down mandated conspiracy of silence of reporting the actual nature of this medical emergency?
	Doesn't sound good, but there you go.
	According to law enforcement sources, the President's motorcade was initially planning on heading to University Medical Center.
	When researching for this story, we found the local NBC affiliate, KSNV, had confirmed last week that UMC was on standby after being alerted about a possible medical issue with President Biden Wednesday afternoon when visiting Southern Nevada.
	But the president's team decided not to bring him to the hospital.
	The plans changed in rapid succession once more.
	It was then relayed over to on-duty officers on the president's detail they would need to clear an express route to Harry Reid International Airport, which is where they flew from the airport space to the Dover, Delaware place.
	Several of the officers we spoke to said this was indeed being reported and acting on as a full-blown medical emergency.
	So all of this might get you concerned for Biden's health, but that doesn't necessarily mean that he's dead and gone, right?
	Sure.
	Well, then people sort of get really concerned when...
	Yeah.
	I was going to bring this up, actually, just in case you didn't have it.
	Yeah, I'll just play the clip.
	Yeah, go on.
	Kamala Harris did a campaign event in Delaware, so just down the road from Joe, and Joe apparently made an appearance over a call, not video call.
	Phoned in, allegedly.
	Yeah, allegedly, according to a slip of the tongue from Kamala Harris.
	It is so good to hear our president's voice.
	Joe, I know you're still on the call, and we've been talking every day.
	You probably, you guys heard it from Doug's voice.
	We love Joe and Jill.
	We really do.
	They truly are like family to us.
	And we do everybody here loves.
	Did she nearly say recording?
	She very nearly said recording.
	That's correct.
	Also, look, if he's got COVID, you know, every time we've seen him at debates or giving a speech, he always coughs into his hand.
	If his mic's live, and he's got COVID, why was he not coughing throughout the duration of this entire campaign event?
	But also, it's entirely possible to train an AI to simply change someone's voice to sound like someone else now.
	Or to use 11 labs from the abundant amount of video footage we've got of Biden to say exactly what.
	Mystery Grove, when he speaks on his podcast, he uses a Joe Biden voice.
	And it's totally, totally... Oh, it's incredible.
	Yeah, there's no distinguishing it from the real thing.
	I mean, the COVID diagnosis thing is interesting as well, because if you think... So he's diagnosed with COVID at what?
	In the late afternoon, that sort of time.
	So has he been showing no symptoms through the day?
	Has he not been coughing?
	Were the other people in the restaurant that he met with at the campaign event told to isolate as well?
	Yeah, it just seems so sudden.
	It's, you know, I mean...
	It's more likely, surely, that Joe Biden would have woken up with a cough and they would have said, look, you've obviously got some kind of respiratory problem going on.
	It may be COVID.
	You're going to need to take a test.
	Are we really supposed to believe that it just suddenly came on when he was out in this restaurant?
	It's the regime-approved reason.
	Of course.
	There's a distinct, I'd say, sort of lack of curiosity or response around it.
	Okay, so are other people isolating now?
	Do the families, like you say, need to know?
	No, no, no, no.
	He's just got COVID, and that's the story.
	So don't worry about it.
	It's not in isolation.
	How many weeks ago was the debate, two?
	What, between Trump and Biden?
	Yes.
	Was it only two?
	It was three, I think.
	Yeah, it feels like a lifetime ago.
	What was the excuse there why he wasn't all put together mentally?
	They didn't really have one.
	No, they said he had a cold.
	Yes, they did.
	So, did they not test him then?
	Why are they testing him three times?
	Is it long COVID?
	Is it COVID so long that everyone he's come into contact with in the last three weeks now has to isolate?
	Definitely feels like an excuse.
	You can see now that lots of people might have some questions as to whether or not Joe Biden's still around.
	I think they're probably valid.
	And this is why people like Representative Lauren Bobert said, a letter from a doctor is not proof of life.
	For the third time today, I'm asking Joe Biden to provide the American people with proof of life.
	It's true.
	From a sitting congressperson.
	Yeah.
	We're kind of in a weird space if we're even asking that question.
	We need to talk about his brother as well.
	Yes, please do.
	So Frank Biden spoke to, I reported on this for InfoWars, so I work at The Weeknd as a reporter for InfoWars, and Frank Biden spoke to CBS, he gave them a prepared series of answers to some questions which they read out, and he said, I'm going to enjoy what little time I have left with my brother.
	Which isn't something you say about somebody who is in the best of health.
	Well, perhaps he has information that would lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton and he knows he doesn't have much time left.
	But the funny thing is then, of course, the rest of the Biden family came out and said, look, Frank is a drunk.
	Don't believe anything.
	Don't believe anything Frank says.
	And he's been on the source again.
	So, yeah.
	So we can believe Hunter Biden, literal crackhead, but not a man who happens to like a few gin and tonics in the afternoon about whether or not his brother's going to die.
	Okay.
	All right.
	No, I think I'm not a conspiracy theorist.
	This all seems fine to me.
	Another thing not to be a conspiracy theorist about is that as Biden had disappeared from public view, he signed over certain executive functions to members of his cabinet.
	So that contradicts what the doctor said, that he was performing his presidential duties as usual.
	No, apparently he's not.
	Yes.
	So this is to do with the Rebuilding of Economic Prosperity and Opportunity for Ukrainians Act.
	So to do with Ukraine funding.
	Well, that has to carry on as usual.
	Well, of course, there was the joke that as soon as Biden had got COVID and then dropped out of the race that Zelensky had like 57 missed phone calls and was going, are we still good for my payments?
	Are we all fine?
	Well, it's the Great American Slush Fund, isn't it now?
	So, Afghanistan is done, now we've got Ukraine.
	The Slush Fund money has to continue.
	Yeah, so this is putting Antony Blinken and Janet Yellen, Secretary of State and Treasury Secretary, in charge of what money is being allocated to Ukraine.
	I assume this is just the allocation of the funds that have already been voted on by Congress, and not an executive order that they can bypass Congress if they want to give them more money.
	Please correct me on that in the comments.
	But if there's a war that America is currently involved in, and I mean, not that Congress has declared any of the wars that America's been involved in the last how many years, but at least the commander of the military is meant to be directing their strategic involvement in this.
	If he's now no longer handling that, why, if he's in perfect health?
	I mean, people were just going, are they prepping to offhand power to other people because Joe Biden just isn't around to take power anymore?
	I mean, there's no way that they would puppeteer his corpse around and pretend he isn't dead, right?
	He's isolating with COVID and for some reason the internet isn't working in the isolation bunker.
	Yeah, he hasn't taken the post-it note off of his camera.
	But we have to ask as well, you know, how long can you isolate from COVID, realistically?
	I mean, it gives him a window of maybe... I mean, when I had COVID and I had it quite bad, It took me two weeks to get over it.
	So let's say he's got two weeks because he's a very old man.
	What then?
	I mean, they have to wheel him out.
	He's also had multiple boosters, so he shouldn't need to isolate for that long, should he?
	No.
	Very odd.
	Very strange.
	They're limited in how long they can milk this.
	Well, you say that, but then people were thinking, would they really do this to Joe?
	He's been a party loyalist for ages.
	He's the president, for God's sake.
	And then they remember Dianne Feinstein.
	Who was basically dead.
	So for those who don't remember, Senator Dianne Feinstein, I think she was the oldest sitting senator from California.
	She got shingles, reportedly.
	It looks like she's had a stroke as a result of that, considering she couldn't use one side of her face.
	She took a leave of absence from March to May 2023, but didn't resign her Senate seat.
	She told reporters that she had been here and been voting when she came back, so she obviously didn't remember that she took time off.
	She was still wheeled in for a vote on the Defence Appropriations Act, Ukraine funding.
	Funny that, because they needed to get it over the line because Congressional Republicans had already tried to block it, so they were afraid that Senate Republicans were also going to try and prevent it after Mike Johnson had become the Speaker of the House.
	She then granted power of attorney to her daughter in July 2023.
	So less than two months later, she needed power of attorney.
	She was hospitalized after falling at her home in San Francisco in August, and she died on September 29th.
	Feinstein's office had signed her resignation letter before she'd given power of attorney, and she was interviewed about it, and she didn't know they'd put it out.
	They resigned on her behalf.
	So just saying, that Joe Biden resignation letter's starting to look a little bit weird when he still hasn't commented on it.
	Or, for example, remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg?
	Yeah, I was gonna bring her up.
	Ruth Bader Ginsburg falling asleep at the State of the Union address, they knew she had cancer as of February 2020 and they didn't tell the public, and they reported her dying wish as not wanting to have her replacement appointed until a new president had been installed.
	They are not above using their long-standing colleagues as corpses to fill seats until a suitable replacement can be allocated.
	People have seen this for years, and hence the conspiracy theories that Biden's corporeal form may now be the only thing being used.
	But fear not!
	Joe Biden is alive!
	He's looking miserable and grumpy.
	We're not going to go into the, again, conspiracy theories that this could be a Uday Hussain-style body double situation.
	It's absolutely not the case.
	Joe Biden is here in Dover, Delaware, incapable of properly answering reporters' questions and looking very confused and angry.
	I suppose we'll learn just how happy he is about being deposed at tonight's presidential address.
	But the fact that we were even asking whether or not he was dead shows you the American Republic isn't in a very healthy state.
	And here's another thing.
	Do we actually know whether the presidential address is going to be pre-recorded or will it be live?
	Because it may very well be a pre-recorded video.
	In which case, when was it filmed?
	Quite.
	Worrying stuff.
	Well, let's move on to stuff that isn't worrying.
	Are we going to have to do rumble rants in between?
	Oh yeah, no, good point.
	Let's do rumble rants.
	The Last Russian says, IT expert Matthew Sabia says there is a 98% possibility the White House used a popular AI voice clone tool for Biden's call with Kamala.
	I can see a link to Don Luker there, though, and he doesn't put up the most reputable sources.
	Sure, I agree that he's a suspect poster.
	But it's not out of the realm of... Well, for a joke video ages ago, I did a David Attenborough one.
	Where I literally just got an AI off the internet.
	Totally free.
	We did Rishi Sunaks for the election stress.
	Yeah, and they're unbelievably good.
	Yeah, Conley Drucker did that wonderful call to arms from Peter Hitchens, if you remember, where he renounced his quietism and called on the young men of Britain to rise up and overthrow the government.
	You have to admire the quality of AI at this point, when it's doing voices at the very least.
	And Caleb Knight says, so on a scale of flat earth to communism in woke movements, how much do we believe that Biden had an accident?
	Also, there is a two to three Biden theory, which?
	I don't know if I believe the whole body double chin.
	I think that's a little bit outlandish.
	It's not impossible, but I doubt it.
	Yeah.
	Do I believe that he might have had a possible stroke?
	I mean, the guy did have a plate put in his brain because he had brain issues right before running as president.
	So, yeah, it's not out of the realm of possibility.
	Anyway, let's move on to something far more wholesome and uplifting, which is the obvious astroturfing of Kamala Harris.
	Because I've really been enjoying this.
	Because one thing that's been very amusing to me is the media reaction.
	Kamala Harris, oh they love Kamala.
	I'm jumping out of my seat over here watching this.
	People have been thirsting for this!
	And I'll just say this, you know, I'm with Tim.
	Tim, I'm jumping out of my seat higher than you, my brother.
	of Richter's grid and saying, "Yes, Kamala Harris is wonderful." Let's watch. - I'm jumping out of my seat over here watching this.
	I think people have been thirsting for this. - And I'll just say this, you know, and I'm with Tim, I'm, Tim, I'm jumping out of my seat higher than you, my brother.
	I'm just gonna say that. - It was a twinkle in her eye.
	It was a kick in her step that, you know, when you're vice president, you know, I don't, you're not loose.
	You can't, you know, there's somebody above you.
	There's somebody you don't want to overshadow them.
	And this was quite the coming out.
	And I got chills when she said, Donald Trump, I know your type.
	I was blown away.
	I was like, I kind of fell in love with him.
	I thought she was smart, engaging, she's funny, feisty, you twinkle in your eye, punch you in the gut.
	I mean, everything you kind of want.
	I just thought it was a great, great opening act.
	She looked completely comfortable tonight.
	With the words she was speaking, they felt organic and genuine.
	I will say, I am sure that Kamala Harris is an expert on flavours of men.
	Moving on.
	So, what I love about this, they're like, oh yeah, Kamala's great.
	We've always loved Kamala.
	I mean, we can only go back four years and see that people didn't always love Kamala, actually.
	In the 2020 Democratic presidential primary, she dropped out 3.5% support.
	Not popular.
	She was a surprise pick when Joe Biden did pick her, because everyone was like, why would you choose her?
	Well, we know why he chose her.
	Oh, go on.
	Well, to George Floyd.
	Oh, well.
	Obviously.
	Sorry, yeah.
	Yeah.
	But then you could have gone for Cory Booker.
	No, he said, I'm going to pick a black woman.
	Oh, yeah.
	Explicitly, I'm going to pick a black woman.
	That's right.
	He did say exactly that.
	Which, I suppose, given Cory Booker's probable weekend exploits, he would have been eligible.
	But the thing is, they know her campaign sucked, right?
	They well and truly knew.
	I mean, as you see from NBC News, well, I mean, her 2020 campaign was a mess, but this time it could be a lot different.
	Well, it's going to have to be, because obviously she's not a popular choice, but we'll get to that in a second.
	But, I mean, you've got lots of people inside the Democratic Party, such as Maria Cardona, who's a member of the DNC's rules panel, Saying, well, I know there are people working behind the scenes who think she may not be the best one suited to take us to victory.
	This is what Tim was saying to us when we were out in the States.
	They want to do a secret ballot of the superdelegates.
	They can just pick whoever they like.
	And that may not be Kamala Harris.
	Well, she apparently has enough delegates, she got them in 24 hours, to secure her nomination.
	But it's worth mentioning Barack Obama's statement that he issued when Biden dropped out because Barack Obama issued a statement on Medium.
	I don't know if you saw it.
	I didn't see it.
	He wrote a long statement on Medium, about a thousand words, and he praised Joe Biden for being a hero and, you know, one of the most consequential presidents of our era.
	That's one way to put it.
	Yeah.
	And then he said, Um, in the coming, we're going to, something like in the coming weeks, you know, this is an unprecedented time, we're going to create a process to select, he actually said create a process to select the best possible candidate.
	So, superdelegates, maybe not, I think it might actually be something else, and that obviously is, I think, the clearest sign that Michelle Obama, Big Mike, is going to Gird her loins and step into the arena finally.
	I think the argument against Michelle being in there is that, I think it's a compelling one, is that no noise has been made running up to it because lots of people have been pressuring her to run.
	I'm predicting it, but she hasn't made any marketing overtures to put herself back in the public consciousness.
	It's not like when she published Becoming, she didn't install herself in the Senate seat like Hillary Clinton did.
	So there is some dubiousness about whether or not she will be picked or it'll be another of their patsy candidates.
	But you could imagine it being like a sort of exclusive merch drop, if you will.
	You know, it's like Michelle Obama's dropping for the presidency.
	I don't really see it happening though because the stars are definitely aligning behind Kamala.
	They're all very much on board.
	That generates its own kind of hype rather than being a gradual insertion of Michelle Obama.
	I don't really see it happening, though, because the stars are definitely aligning behind Kamala.
	They're all very much on board.
	This is a big thing now, and it's got momentum, I think is the way that they would frame it.
	Geromentum, formally.
	But as Maria here points out, if this process is seen as full-on inorganic tactics that is led by senior people in the Democrat party, there will be a civil war in the party, the likes of which will not survive.
	Because though on the outside it looks, oh well everyone just agrees it's Kamala now and it's just somehow a universal perspective as if Kamala took a bullet at a campaign rally or something.
	No, actually, there are loads of factions inside, like AOC has been coming out and saying, well, no, who said this?
	And we'll get into more fractures in the coalition shortly.
	But the point that they're making in this article is that, well, look, actually, what Harris is just going to do is inherit Biden's campaign, the staffers on the ground.
	A lot of the higher ups probably will actually retire to the background.
	But all of the staffers that make up the machine of the Democrat Party, well, they'll just be activated for Kamala.
	She can take the money as well because it was marketed as the Biden-Harris campaign.
	As long as one of them is still in it, they can...
	Exactly.
	And I think this is actually maybe an argument against Michelle being picked.
	This take could age like milk.
	It might well be that they know that Trump is going to win and so they don't want to waste their big beasts on it.
	They were happy to waste Biden.
	They're happy to waste Kamala because she's very unpopular.
	100%.
	And so this is just an exercise in generating money for their clientele classes and their consulting firms to then pocket it and go, Oh, shucks.
	2028 it is.
	Yeah, and Kamala will then fail up into some lovely job that keeps her secure for the rest of her life, and she'll do speaking tours, she'll get 20 grand, 30 grand a speech and stuff like that, as if anyone would pay any money to listen to her speak.
	I mean I think it depends on the kind of milk we're talking about though because as I know only too well raw milk ages much better than pasteurised milk.
	It actually makes yoghurt if you leave it long enough under the right conditions but I mean I think one of the fundamental things to remember about Kamala Harris is that she is a black woman and they can't I don't think they can replace her with anybody but a black woman they just they couldn't pull that off like now that she's in position it's a bad bad look.
	The thing is, is she a black woman?
	Because she's, like, I've seen a lot of black activists on Twitter saying, like, she ain't one of us because she's not coded black.
	And her father was a Jamaican, so not a black American.
	Her mother was an Indian, so obviously not a black American.
	And obviously she didn't grow up in that culture.
	And so, and she's a cop, as they famously put in 2020.
	She's got wine on energy.
	Yeah, she's not coded as a part of their community.
	And so when they're like, oh, she's a black woman, it's like, yeah, it's a bit inauthentic, isn't it?
	Everyone can see that.
	But anyway, what I love is the way that they've had to try and announce this campaign.
	Chuck Schumer's entry for this was just amazing.
	It was just, I mean, it's worse than Jeb Bush.
	So now that the process has played out, From the grassroots bottom up.
	We are here today to throw our support behind Vice President Kamala Harris.
	I'm clapping.
	You don't have to.
	I was reliably informed by Chuck Schumer that if you upset the intelligence services they have six waves of Sunday of getting back at you and I can't help but thinking that this is like the scenario that Solzhenitsyn spoke about.
	The first person to stop clapping Stalin was whisked away by the NKVD.
	I think he's going to do the whole thing to that whole crowd.
	See, I didn't even get that.
	I mean the very nature of what he said though, oh it came from the grassroots up.
	No it didn't.
	Everyone can see that it didn't.
	What this is, is one of the people who is, you know, the sort of backbone of this cabal that controls the Democrat Party, he knows the fixes in.
	He's like, you don't have to clap.
	It doesn't matter whether you clap or not.
	I've already made this happen.
	Policing doesn't matter.
	Exactly.
	This is all done and dusted.
	So now I'm just coming out and just giving the sort of formality of saying, oh yeah, well, we've, you know, through democratic mandate, we've chosen Kamala.
	Don't worry about clapping.
	It's all done.
	And then the sort of The activist classes just sort of start falling into line.
	See, Kamala Harris, Gen Z meme queen, says Politico.
	What are you talking about?
	Oh, sorry, has this literally happened in the last five minutes, has it?
	Right, OK, well, breaking news.
	There are TikToks all over TikTok about Kamala Harris being a meme queen.
	This is not true.
	I mean, it is now, but like five minutes ago, this was not true.
	Maybe they cackling like Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin.
	But look, I mean, we know what Andrew Tate did with TikTok, right?
	Where he got all of the War Room members to share videos that he had made or to make videos and share them.
	I mean, there's absolutely no reason not to believe that there are Democrat people making all of these memes, distributing them, you know, buying clicks in China or India or Nigeria or wherever.
	Who's that Gen Z kid?
	Harry Sissons.
	That's it.
	Yeah, insufferable homosexual.
	Exactly, the paid agents, many such cases.
	But yeah, they're 100% going to be making the memes and posting them and then, like you say, paying for clicks.
	Because I mean, some people have been posting, look, there's this one video of her dancing that's got a million likes on it.
	And people are like, oh no, a million likes?
	Look, A, I'm not surprised even if there were authentically a million retarded feminists on TikTok.
	I believe it, right?
	Nothing's changed.
	That's obviously going to be the case.
	They're not the majority of the voter base.
	Trump's got 20 times those numbers.
	Exactly.
	This is not anything to worry about.
	In fact, it's interesting how they have no choice but to make One of the least inspiring people in the world, their center of gravity, because, and we'll come to this in a minute in fact, because Van Jones, TikTok has helped Harris go from cringe to cool.
	Right, OK, yeah, I agree.
	Two days ago she was cringe.
	Everyone thought she was cringe.
	And now it's like, right, we've got to astroturf this up.
	Quick, get the memes, get the TikToks out.
	And the thing is, they've done this before.
	We've been here before.
	This is exactly the same campaign mechanism that was run for the Hillary Clinton campaign, which, of course, failed.
	This doesn't work.
	And let's have a comparison of the two candidates here.
	Clinton, whether you love her or hate her, at least has gravitas.
	She was a stateswoman.
	She had actually done things.
	She actually knew what she was talking about.
	She knew the intricacies of the way the system worked.
	She was a powerful person.
	Kamala Harris is embarrassing.
	Clinton is competent and evil.
	Harris is stupid and evil.
	I don't even know if Harris is evil.
	I think she's evil.
	I think she's a bit of a grifter, to be honest.
	Same thing.
	I think she's just been along for the ride because it gets her to cool parties, it pays well, it means she's connected and she's got a sort of place to be.
	I mean, what affirmative agenda does Kamala Harris come out with?
	I'm so glad we went through a little history lesson.
	Let's do that a little more.
	In 1864... I'd like you to answer the question.
	Mr. Vice President, I'm speaking.
	It's just been very embarrassing watching people trying to be like, oh, God, you know, she's so mother.
	It's like she's not a mother, actually.
	She's a stepmother to an insane Palestinian liberation activist.
	Yeah.
	And, I mean, again, none of this is...
	I'm so glad we went through a little history lesson.
	Let's do that a little more.
	In 1864...
	Well, I'd like you to answer the question.
	Mr. Vice President, I'm speaking.
	I'm speaking.
	In 18...
	Again, that's not authoritative.
	Queen of the Longhouse.
	Insufferable.
	But it's not, it's not authoritative at all, right?
	Because she's dipping her head.
	She's expecting him to consent to being quiet so she can talk.
	She's not speaking over him.
	None of this is authentic.
	She's not so mother.
	Like, you know, my wife, my wife wants the kids to shut up.
	She doesn't go, I'm speaking.
	I'm saying, no, no, no, no, not at all.
	Right?
	It's nothing like that.
	And, of course, then we get the fiction of the polls.
	She's got an 11 point lead over Trump!
	No, it's the other way around.
	That's a good point.
	No, but this isn't the only poll that they've been bringing out, of course.
	They've been saying it's much closer than that, like two points.
	But the polls they've been using have been massively oversampling Democrats.
	There was one where she had a two-point lead.
	I actually got the wrong link here.
	The two-point lead, but they're 13% oversampled Democrats in this poll.
	And it's like, if you have to get that much advantage and she only gets a two-point lead, you must know that you've got a dying candidate here, right?
	And so everyone can see they're lying.
	And Elon Musk is just, I mean, he's a full-on Republican campaigner at this point.
	Where he's like, look, three weeks ago, they told you Biden was sharp as a tack.
	Two days ago, he had to resign at gunpoint as Democrat nominee.
	Staff weren't enforced.
	Now they say Kamala is the best thing ever.
	Everyone can see this is a lie.
	Everyone can see this is a total fraud that is being perpetuated.
	And so I thought we'd look at her first rally.
	Now, this is interesting.
	This is the demographic makeup of her first rally.
	So it seems that she has a strange coalition here.
	Of woke boomers, swifties, but not very many minorities.
	I feel attacked.
	Just saying.
	And of course- The one black woman in there looks bored out of her damn mind.
	Right?
	Like, it's a very white crowd.
	I mean, look at this sort of, you know, person screaming down at the front there.
	The woke soy boys.
	the swifties and a bunch of woke boomers it's like what kind of coalition is this this was also in a school gym yeah it was yeah apparently with 3 000 stadium yeah it wasn't a stadium but i mean it's better than joe biden can do so good for him and so i thought i'd just take the twist to try and find out okay what is a kamala harris supporter Why would someone support Kamala Harris?
	And it turns out that 2013 feminism is back on the menu.
	Sweetie, I'm not voting for her because she's a woman.
	I'm voting for her because she wants me to have the same rights as a man.
	Oh, God, it's this coalition again.
	But they didn't win before.
	There are also a bunch of awfuls who are just, again, I don't really believe it.
	Post the photo.
	I just think you know you've got nowhere else to go.
	Maybe you're ugly.
	Sure, but they've just got nowhere else to go at this point.
	Fellow white ladies, get over it.
	Whatever it is, get past it.
	We're going to elect a black woman president, and I promise you it's going to be amazing.
	You can feel the desperation, right?
	You can feel the desperation.
	Look, we actually have no choice here.
	It's been decided for us that it's going to be Kamala.
	Did you have the curious point about Nikki Haley supporters throwing all their money?
	I put that on Monday, which is weird.
	The Nikki Haley PAC supporting Kamala as well.
	It's like average Republican.
	But yeah, so you've got the Orphals, the Insane 2013 feminists and then childless boomers, which is really interesting like this this person's Accountancy forgot to have kids right?
	Okay a bit late now 79,000 likes on this, you know, yes, we're boomers.
	Yes.
	We're voting for Kamala Harris.
	It's like right so Archetypal.
	Archetypal.
	Yeah, exactly.
	That's why I've used these ones.
	There are just some archetypal people who are being, again, 124,000 likes on this one.
	Those other people are definitely the denizens of Martha's Vineyard that sent all of the illegal immigrants that Ron Santa sent up their back.
	Yeah.
	They absolutely have an Airbnb that they rent out to worsen the property market for people my age.
	The American version of a Lib Dem voter.
	Yeah, that's right.
	And so, again, people have no investment in the future, people who are resentful against the average American family and who just want it for themselves.
	It's a coalition of grasping, selfish people.
	But we've had an endorsement from the Groypers as well.
	Have we?
	Yeah, Nick Fuentes has said that she has big milf energy, I think.
	Yeah, there was a clip that was posted if you search for Nick Fuentes milf energy.
	That's interesting, but I actually am not soliciting the opinions of a known homosexual on who has milf energy.
	I don't care.
	He's obsessed with getting another black president though.
	Then he said Candace Owens would make an amazing president just because of the Daily Wire spat.
	To be fair, I'd probably quite enjoy Candace Owens as president.
	As Stephen Crowder once said, she speaks like a woman who's about to get her boyfriend involved in a bar fight that he didn't start.
	Yeah, I know.
	I enjoy Candace.
	I wouldn't put her in charge of the nuclear button.
	I'm not saying I agree with everything she does.
	I just like the way she doesn't take any of their narrative seriously.
	And I like the way she delivers it.
	Anyway, so what's interesting is he lost Black Lives Matter.
	Or she lost Black Lives Matter.
	Completely on the strength of the lack of democracy in the party, which, I mean, fair enough.
	But again, I also saw a lot of activists saying, well, look, she's not black, actually.
	She doesn't represent us.
	She did put a lot of black guys in jail.
	She did raise money for Black Lives Matter to release criminals.
	She said the riots shouldn't stop.
	She did say the riots shouldn't stop.
	But they don't appear to be on board because, as I say, we do not live in a dictatorship.
	Who was the rapist who went to stab the police officers and got shot around the time of the George Floyd incident?
	Jacob something?
	Because she went to his hospital bed and visited him.
	Yeah, so he had a restraining order out against him from a woman who he'd had kids with.
	He showed up, he'd previously digitally raped her.
	Hands, not online.
	And she'd called the police to implement the restraining order.
	He went back to the car to grab a knife and the police shot him for not complying.
	And he didn't die.
	And Kamala Harris went and visited him in hospital, knowing his past.
	Oh, yeah, I do remember this.
	I can't remember his name or anything, but I remember it happening.
	And just as another thing that she supported that was obviously the right side of history, Jussie Smollett.
	Yes!
	Yes!
	That tweet is still up from 2019.
	Because she's personal friends with Jussie Smollett.
	A modern day lynching.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Totally true.
	Totally true.
	And so obviously the more realistic areas of the press who are like, look, OK, yeah, we all love Kamala Harris, but she does have a lot of challenges ahead.
	Because when you just look at her polling, One outlier poll aside, she's just worse than everyone.
	Biden is viewed 28% positively among independent voters, compared to 53% who see him negatively.
	Harris is at 20% positive and 49% negative.
	It might be to do with those 10 million illegals she let in since becoming Borders are.
	No, I don't even think it's that.
	I think it's vibes.
	I think a lot of people don't really know much about what she's actually done.
	She's just unlikable.
	I mean, that awful clip of her with Mike Pence.
	I mean, women may like that.
	Women may not see too much to dislike.
	It's not even women.
	It's the awfuls.
	It's the childless, 30-something post-abortion women.
	are going to look at Kamala Harris and go, well, thank God she's going to secure my right to abortion.
	She's got the Quirk Chungus vote.
	Yeah, yeah, something like that.
	But also the diehard, still fighting in the trenches, post-World War II Japanese vote of feminists who are still in the 2030s.
	They're like, God, no, the patriarchy's over and the men are the problem.
	Oh, God.
	Like, those people who are still fighting that last war, she's got them.
	She's got, like, you know, the screeching, dyed-haired college students.
	But that's it, right?
	And so, okay, those people are coming out in force on social media.
	But they are not representative of the electorate.
	And again, all of this comes across something like among self-identified moderates, Biden actually has a roughly good score.
	It's a minus one overall approval rating.
	But Harris is at minus 10.
	And among what they call persuadable voters, so voters who don't reliably vote either way, Harris is at 19% positive to 51% negative.
	And so it's just like.
	She ain't it.
	She ain't it.
	And there are lots of people going, well, hang on a second, didn't she get into politics by sucking her way to the top?
	Willie Brown, yeah.
	Yeah, yeah, no, that's... Hilariously named Willie Brown.
	Yeah, yeah, that is true, as the Associated Press tells us.
	Just a quick thing.
	Harris started by having an affair with a married man.
	The facts.
	There is some important context missing in this.
	Brown had separated from his wife, so it wasn't a secret.
	Right, so it wasn't an affair.
	They just dated, right?
	Okay, got it.
	Understood.
	Did they mention Montel?
	They didn't, actually.
	What a shame.
	But anyway, so yes, Kamala Mania is totally fraudulent, right?
	Everyone's worried about it because it's currently, for today and tomorrow, going to be the big thing in your social media feed.
	But this energy is not going to obtain.
	It's not going to sustain itself.
	People just don't like Kamala Harris.
	The polls represent that.
	Everyone knows.
	I mean, going back to that poll, I put the wrong one in.
	In various places, Trump is crushing her.
	In all the swing states, most importantly.
	Exactly.
	In all the swing states, right?
	And just with normal people.
	Because Trump actually has some gravitas about him.
	Kamala Harris is fundamentally unserious and everyone can see it.
	So I don't think she's going to go anywhere.
	I think she's the scapegoat that they're using to essentially get past the kind of, because you can see there's a kind of boom of vanguard in the Democrat Party.
	The Chuck Schumer's, Nancy Pelosi's, Biden, that she's, I think, sort of the thing that they're going to put the sins onto to move that cohort out for the next generation.
	And because they're all going to end up dying or retiring soon anyway, whether they like it or not.
	So I think that she's being used for that to get past this.
	And so we've got a new era of the Democrat Party coming after her.
	We'll read some Rumble Superchats, Rumble Rants.
	Russian says, Google searches for is Biden dead surged past donate to Kamala.
	Well, I'm not too surprised because I mean, that's a bipartisan question, isn't it?
	It's only Democrat partisans that want to know how to donate.
	OPHUK says Kamala isn't the cult leader, she's just their temporary totem.
	They'll declare their allegiance to the cult by dancing around it.
	Yeah and that's a great way of putting it.
	She's literally like a wicker man that they're all going to dance around and then come the election essentially metaphorically set fire to.
	Archbigot of Durham says Good position to have.
	Glad you're tuning in.
	Your Holiness.
	Kamala's name comes from Siddhartha by German author Hermann Hesse.
	Kamala in the book is a hooker too.
	No, no, no.
	There's no suggestion she's taken payment, sexual services, actually.
	Thank you.
	As far as we're aware, she did it for free.
	Josie's Angel says the polling is by votes.
	If you look at the states, Trump is on the cusp of a landslide by delegate count.
	That just depends if the voter registration stuff that looks quite alarming out of certain states doesn't come to fruition.
	Yeah, again, one thing I want Republicans to remember is don't be complacent.
	Yeah, exactly.
	It's easy to become complacent because you've got a terrible opponent, but there's a big infrastructure around her that is going to ballot farmers until the cows come home.
	Well, Trump was using the slogan too big to rig a little while ago, and nothing's too big to rig, sorry.
	I totally agree.
	But I mean, in Trump's defence, he did get 15 million extra votes last time, which is unheard of.
	So it's not that he can't run storming campaigns.
	He just has to make sure they're on it.
	But lots of people have died from COVID since and will be voting Biden.
	Maybe.
	Good point.
	And Antimike says, Kamala, totally relax the I'll beat your behind black and blue with a flip-flop energy.
	Like Esther Krakow.
	Yeah, exactly.
	That's the thing.
	She's not mother energy.
	She looks like, honestly, like angry girlfriend energy.
	But anyway, so we'll leave that there.
	Speaking of upset women, people are losing their mind over J.D.
	Vance, because J.D.
	Vance has now been selected as Trump's VP pick, and he's one of our guys.
	I say that because he follows you.
	He does.
	Hilarious.
	He seems to be very well read in our circles, and we'll be getting on to just exactly how, but it's not just the Biden, formerly Biden, now Harris campaign, that are putting out videos scaremongering about his positions that actually look like campaign endorsements.
	Yeah.
	And it's not just the typical tabloid press that are petrified of his post-liberalism, it's people that are ostensibly on our side that are worried about Vance.
	And I think it's worth looking at the fault lines of the anti-woke coalition as we go forward and, as Jack Posobiec said at NatCon, conservatives and reactionaries and traditionalists learn that if you have no power but principles, you're losing.
	If you have J.D.
	Vance has extreme views, and he's not hiding it.
	He's supported banning abortion with no exceptions for rape or incest.
	I certainly wouldn't like abortion to be illegal nationally.
	We were expecting that they were going to put out videos like this.
	This is from Biden's account.
	J.D. Vance has extreme views, and he's not hiding it.
	He supported banning abortion with no exceptions for rape or incest.
	I certainly would like abortion to be illegal nationally.
	He'd replace government employees with Trump loyalists.
	I think that what Trump should do, fire every single mid-level bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, replace them with our people.
	And admitted he wouldn't have certified the results of the 2020 election.
	Do I think there were problems in 2020?
	Yes, I do.
	Sound familiar?
	It's all part of Trump's Project 2025 agenda for a full takeover of our daily lives.
	And J.D.
	Vance is not trying to hide that either.
	There's some good ideas in there.
	An extreme running mate for an extreme agenda.
	I'm just going to say that they're editing.
	That makes it sound great.
	I know, he's great.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And I do think the reason he was picked is because Trump has been poo-pooing Project 2025 in the public recently.
	But the architects of Project 2025, which is just a salient way of ensuring that the deep state and pure bureaucracies don't block Trump's agenda again.
	Those guys are friendly with and inspired by J.D. Vance.
	I mean, I spoke to the guys over at American Moment.
	And they said the reason we set it up and called it American Moment is because J.D.
	Vance Runtz wrote an essay that said we need a training body for young, enterprising, potential politicians like himself, who were in deprived areas, as he details in Hillbilly Elegy, that can go and get experience on Capitol Hill.
	And so that's what they did.
	And that's why there are many CVs now.
	And I think that's why Trump has selected him, to actually implement the agenda.
	I also think there's an element of insurance about it as well.
	I mean, I think Trump's vice president pick is also insurance in the sense that if he picked the wrong person, taking another crack at him would have been, you know, would have remained an option.
	I think he has an air now in the way that he didn't before.
	I mean, one of the things when I wrote that piece, The Return of the Great Maga King for Islander, I said, you know, Trump, the succession is a problem.
	Trump doesn't have a clear successor.
	And so if he'd appointed, God forbid, Nikki Haley, you know, I mean, I'm sure there would have been another attempt on his life because then, then the Uni Party gets the presidential candidate it wants.
	I mean, J.D.
	Vance is Whatever criticisms you want to make of him, then he is the closest thing to Trump among the potential.
	Other than Tucker, let's say.
	But I don't think that that was ever going to happen.
	It's a real shame because I think that would have been the best choice.
	Yeah, me too.
	Me too.
	Making him press secretary is still an option.
	Sure, but... Can I just say, I'm actually on the side that I think JD Vance was a bad pick.
	Now, I appreciate the misogynist neckbeard representation.
	I really do.
	Right?
	I feel seen.
	Um, but I called this like, it was a week ago when he was chosen.
	Uh, and I called it on, I was doing a Twitch stream at the time.
	I was like, look, he is not, women are going to look at him and be like, I hate him.
	I absolutely hate him.
	And Trump's weakest demographic is with women.
	As one of my other favourite anons, Radfem Hitler, has said, he is radioactive to online hoax.
	Who will come out and vote against him.
	It's not that they were going to vote for Trump, it's that they will come out and vote against him in force, which is a liability.
	But also, I saw one post and it had like 30,000 likes on it.
	It was going around from a woman who was like, look, I'm a centre-right woman, I hate everything that Biden and Kamala have done, but I viscerally hate Vance on a gut level, on a spiritual level.
	I find him repulsive and I hate him.
	And people are like, well, okay, well, don't you feel that way about Trump?
	She's like, no, I don't feel that way about Trump.
	Because Trump, for all his faults, doesn't come across with a kind of energy that radiates a kind of subconscious hatred of women, right?
	Trump doesn't come across that way.
	He actually comes across quite a well-meaning boomer.
	He's charming, yeah.
	Yeah, he's actually kind of charming.
	But Vance has got a kind of look on his face, a kind of angry energy about him that women don't like.
	And, you know, like, you know, I'm not saying that I don't like him.
	I think he's great.
	We went to NatCon, we saw his speech, and it was by far the best speech.
	Spoke to me as a, you know, neckbeard.
	I was like, totally on board.
	But I could instantly tell that women are not going to like this guy.
	And it seems that that's true.
	And that's Trump's weakest area.
	Well, this is why people thought, and all the noises I had heard, that it was down to Vance and Rubio.
	Rubio had expected it.
	This is why he flew back on Tuesday at NatCon to Florida.
	We all thought it was going to be the appointment there.
	It wasn't just that he could speak Spanish and trounce Ben Kamala in a Telemundo debate, and that he had good intelligence agency connections to try and prevent them from blockading Trump's agenda.
	It was that he had the Trudeau effect where he was a bit more clean-cut and amenable to suburban women.
	And that was war-gamed.
	Women didn't feel threatened by Rubio.
	I think they do in some way feel threatened by Vox.
	Not that they think personally he's going to attack me or something, but that he's going to make them second-class citizens.
	Well, he does criticize some of them in a hilarious clip from obviously Tucker as well.
	What I was basically saying is that we're effectively run in this country via the Democrats, via our corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they've made, and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable too.
	And it's just a basic fact.
	You look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, AOC, the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children.
	And how does it make any sense that we've turned our country over to people who don't really have a direct stake in it?
	I mean, I, like I said, I totally agree with him.
	Totally speaks to me.
	But now you can see why all the awfuls are suddenly like, right, Kamala Harris is going to be our savior when this is the alternative.
	But also not the awfuls.
	I mean, I think a lot of reasonable women are just put off by that kind of rhetoric.
	I think it's, um... It's violence-based.
	You can't really get around it, unfortunately.
	So, what about the, obviously, the childless cat ladies and the like, who are never going to vote for him in the first place, but could be a liability because they turn up to vote against him in force?
	But it's not that.
	It's the reasonable women who aren't childless cat ladies.
	You know, they probably are mums who have kids, who get on with their lives, got jobs or whatever, and they don't like him either.
	They might be appeased by, if they're intelligent, putting Bushra and the kids first and foremost in most of his campaign materials, but that's a softening of the blow.
	But the problem there is that you're putting the onus on them to decide to choose you, where what you're supposed to do is make yourself so appealing they think, yeah, I like that guy, I'm going to vote for him.
	Because like you said, all politics is based on vibes, and he just has the wrong vibes when it comes to half the demographic of the voting base.
	Well, among our own people, it's not that he's failing a vibe check, it's failing an ideas check, which is quite curious.
	Really?
	Yes, because there's a Wall Street Journal article, and in his speech at NatCon he did say he likes to take a pot shot at the Wall Street Journal editorial page, so they're taking a pot shot at him.
	They're noting his post-liberal connections, and it's quite interesting.
	He says Mr. Vance identifies himself as a member of the post-liberal right, the first Republican candidate for such a high office to do so, and he attributes most of his philosophical foundations to the likes of Patrick Deneen, Adrian Vermeule, Charles Taylor, Alastair McIntyre, notably you.
	As you are on the panel today.
	Hello, Mr. Future Vice President, if you're watching.
	And it notes that many post-liberals are Catholic, as is Mr. Vance.
	Again, hello, my bad.
	So Vance swims in our waters quite a lot.
	So Politico have profiled some of the people that influenced his thinking, and they've listed Patrick Deneen.
	I think we've all read Why Liberalism Failed.
	What's interesting is that Deneen is the PhD supervisor for Yoram Hazony's son, Yoram Hazony, who is the guy who runs NatCom.
	So very enmeshed in that network.
	The Wall Street Journal says of Deneen that he's post-liberalism's clearest articulator, and they cite regime change, which is a strange thing because regime change is a more recent book where he said they need to double the size of Congress, which is a weird thing to propose, but it says that it's guided by common good conservatism focused on virtue, family, and community.
	Oh no, how terrible.
	I don't know why you would possibly oppose those things.
	It also notes Peter Thiel in here.
	Now Peter Thiel is a very interesting pick.
	He is.
	Because Peter Thiel donated to Vance's Senate race.
	Right.
	Didn't Vance work for Peter Thiel?
	I believe that his venture capital firm had also invested in Palantir.
	I don't know if he worked directly under him.
	Check me on that.
	The reason I also mark out Peter Thiel is, a few weeks ago, I hope I don't get in trouble for leaking this.
	I went to a little seminar thing with Peter Thiel and it was meant to be on globalism and people thought it was going to be an economic seminar.
	It was almost entirely about preventing the rise of the Antichrist.
	Okay.
	Peter Thiel is properly plugged into eschatology.
	Okay, yeah.
	I mean, I don't really want the Antichrist to come here.
	No, it would be useful.
	So the whole Catholic post-liberalism angle has taken in Thiel on an ideas level, and that's quite interesting.
	Also notes Curtis Yarvin, congrats on the recent wedding.
	I did like this particular meme from Kamini Drukpa here, which is that Jarvin over the weekend apparently said, you might know more about this, that we should turn unproductive people into biodiesel.
	I think that's one of his more famous essays, I think he says that.
	Right.
	And so they've dug it up once they've made the association with Uh, with Yavin then, what they do, of course, what they do is they dig up the worst thing that, you know, the thinker has said, and to most people, the idea of turning libertards into biodiesel and using them to run municipal buses is probably about as far beyond the pale as you could get, I think.
	I thought that was Californian state policy, because weren't they going to sustainably recycle everyone's corpses?
	You've got to do something after the maid has kicked in.
	Hey, it's biodegradable!
	What can you say?
	I just like the drug for reference.
	So, Curtis, we've won.
	What do we do now?
	You need to, like, read Soviet history, I suppose.
	The other influences were René Girard, who's very good on scapegoating, Sorobomari, Yeah, that's a curious one, considering recent events over at Compact and with Nina Power and Lomez, but I'd say beware having that person in your circle.
	The Claremont Institute, who you write for, and Rod Dreher, who is a friend of mine, who went to, I believe it was Vance's first Holy Communion, who compared Vance to Frodo, saying he's a veritable hillbilly hobbit.
	And did you see the picture Rod Rea posted of himself with Vance and his ex-wife?
	Rod Rea's ex-wife.
	And he replaced his ex-wife's face with a giant oyster.
	I didn't see that.
	Why?
	Yeah, it's insane.
	It's one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen.
	I couldn't... It's worse than any kind of parody I could ever come up with for Man's World.
	Rod Rea... Oh, here's my ex-wife.
	She likes to maintain her privacy.
	I've replaced her face with a giant oyster.
	Yeah, he posted it yesterday or the day before.
	How nice.
	I'm going to text him and ask him what that's all about.
	So I mentioned his Rule of the Rings reference, because this was another amusing article that we might all enjoy.
	Apparently, J.D.
	Vance is a big fan of the Rule of the Rings.
	Faced.
	Like I said, I'd like, you know, if Vance ever watches this, he's like, oh, this guy hates it.
	No, I think he's great, actually.
	Like I said, his NatCon speech is amazing.
	I mean, I would love if that were an article about me.
	Yeah.
	You know, this is just selling him to me.
	The beard doesn't look dissimilar, actually.
	No, it doesn't.
	Which is kind of strange.
	This is just totally selling it to me.
	In a 2021 podcast, he said that Tolkien was his favorite writer.
	I suppose that makes sense when, of course, Peter Thiel named his firm Palantir and Vance invested in another defense company called Undwil, which is obviously the sword that Aragorn reforges from the Shards of Narsil.
	But this connection to the military-industrial complex is why the RFK is calling him a CIA candidate, which I think is just...
	Despite the fact that his campaign is run by his daughter-in-law who worked for the CIA for 16 years.
	Oh, that's interesting.
	Yeah.
	There you go.
	So Luke Burgess, who's an author of a book about Girard and works at Catholic University of America, says that Vance's appreciation of Tolkien is not unrelated to his conversion to Catholicism in 2019.
	Of the many ways that Tolkien's work exemplifies the Catholic imagination, one is the relationship between the visible and the invisible.
	It's fair to say Vance believes there's a real spiritual evil in this world and it can be embodied in rituals and rites.
	Do you know what's really interesting?
	in an apocalyptic frame of mind, Burjus said, a final and all-encompassing battle between good and evil.
	I find it very interesting that obviously Tucker, who's good friends with Vance, also spoke in the same terms when delivering a speech at Heritage, wasn't it, last year?
	There's a seeming perception at NatCon there that their political enemies are embodying some sort of demonic agenda.
	Do you know what's really interesting?
	I recorded a video today that should be out tomorrow about, it's just going to be called The American Fellowship because I really, I really can see the parallels in the American politics with Lord of the Rings at this point, right?
	You've got an evil industrial coalition against what are basically a bunch of hobbits And, you know, a bunch of well-meaning, you know, gurus and stuff like that.
	And the fact that they're prepared to start memeing this into a reality as well is superb.
	I mean, it just, everything's aligning.
	I mean, I'm totally in favor of us having this kind of mythological understanding of our own political lives.
	You know, no, no, you're part of a grand story.
	Having just rewatched it over the weekend, I agree.
	in a climactic battle and they're all just going to crumble and it's going to be you know goodness and light you're going to go live in a hobbit hole marry a lovely little hobbit and have dozens of little hobbit kids everyone get on board this is superb having just re-watched it over the weekend i agree and in this article it does make the point that i hope you made in yours which i haven't seen yet is that the shire is all well and good you need the men of gondor and rohan to protect it that's
	That's the kind of class of people that need to be built to fend off the... Yeah, I didn't have to make that point, but like, it's just superb that this is what's mapping onto the right at this point.
	No, we are where the goodness lies, and we're all good, and they are all evil, and they're just where the badness lies.
	And just get that in your head.
	You know, get that in your head.
	These are the villains trying to ruin the Shire.
	That's where we are.
	That dichotomy of good and evil, though, is profoundly post-liberal, as we know.
	And this is the thing that people on our side are balking with.
	So there's a quote from that Wall Street Journal piece that says, The post and post-liberal comes in part from the claim that today's social and moral problems are the inevitable result of the liberal regime set up by the founding fathers.
	Some post-liberals argue the founders made a critical philosophical mistake baked into the American system is a wrong-headed rejection of an objective standard for goodness, truth and beauty.
	Post-liberals therefore talk openly about the need to create a new blueprint for an American society Centred on virtue and the common good.
	This is what they're worried about and this has led to some counter signaling by people who are ostensibly on the right.
	Just to say that's not an inaccurate characterization of the philosophical problems with the founding of the United States.
	The problem is the United States is the quintessentially classically liberal project and contains within it all of the flaws of liberalism.
	But the question is why it's a liberal system.
	And I don't think that it's just about ideas.
	I think it's about demographics and ethnicity.
	And I think it's about the fact that America is fundamentally an Anglo-nation.
	An Anglo-ethnostate.
	Exactly.
	And I've written about this.
	And that's the unspoken context of the founding.
	It didn't need to be said, this is an Anglo-nation.
	Because it was an Anglo-nation.
	They didn't have to write that down on paper.
	So, I mean, I wrote a piece for American Mind, the Claremont Institute, about, I think it was about Tucker's interview with Vladimir Putin, actually, where I talked about post-liberalism and the fact that I think personally that the post-liberal diagnosis is wrong in certain fundamental respects where I talked about post-liberalism and the fact that I think personally that the post-liberal diagnosis is wrong in certain fundamental respects because it assumes that America is a liberal nation
	So there's a great book called The Origins of English Individualism by Alan McFarlane, an anthropologist, and he basically looks at English society back to about the sort of Anglo-Saxon period and, And he says, look, English people were liberals in their way of life.
	They were radical individualists.
	They moved around a lot.
	They had geographical mobility.
	They didn't really look after their parents very well.
	They had truncated nuclear families.
	There was a market economy.
	In the early Middle Ages, liberalism is an outgrowth of the Anglo way of life.
	It's a codification of the Anglo way of life.
	And so, I mean, I see post-liberalism almost as putting the seal on demographic change in the US.
	That's how I see it.
	I think, like, post-liberalism works as an explicitly Catholic ideology for the most part because you've got lots of Mexicans, you've got lots of People coming from Latin America who are Catholics.
	I think that's why it works and that's the interesting dynamic I think.
	Can I just pick up on that because you're exactly right and this is the point we've made as well.
	Liberalism is the abstraction of the Anglo-Saxon tradition of politics.
	How we think society should be run and how just naturally we live our lives when left without interference.
	And I've made the point, this turns it into a kind of like Anglo-sharia, right?
	I'm not even joking.
	This is kind of like sharia law, but for English people.
	And it's inappropriate to apply it on non-English people.
	And when it's applied on non-English people, like the French or the Russians or whoever, the liberal precepts destroy their civilizations.
	They turn to massive, insane revolutions.
	Whereas in the Anglo countries, everything just carries on as normal because we've got the natural social institutions that uphold these principles.
	And so all you're doing is parroting back to you what you already believe.
	And so it doesn't change anything.
	And that's why America can call itself a liberal nation and not go through an insane social revolution.
	But like I say, the demographic change is now, well, who is part of the radical left-wing coalition that wants insane change in the United States?
	Well, it's awfuls and minorities, people who are not naturally part of that coalition and not naturally part of the sort of Anglo world.
	And so it's just like, okay, well, I'm happy for liberalism as long as we accept that it's for the Anglos.
	It's like the Muslims with Sharia.
	Sharia is for the Muslims, liberalism is for the Anglos.
	That's how that can only work.
	And when it doesn't work like that, well then we have to go beyond liberalism.
	We have to accept that we've got to move into some other paradigm.
	Vance gets this, because at NatCon and at the RNC, and you can watch his full speech in your own time, he articulated that America is not just a nation of ideas, it's not just a set of values or principles, it's a homeland, it's a people, it's a nation, and that he has a plot of land in Cold Country, Kentucky, where seven generations of his family, going back to the Civil War, have fought and died to defend the country.
	And they've defended it because it is their home where their family and their children reside and where they'd like to be laid to rest someday.
	And he hopes that he can preserve American prosperity to the extent where his children can lay him to rest, him and his wife, in that same plot alongside his ancestors.
	Much of the same substance was delivered at NatCon.
	I thought it was very good.
	It was a good rejoinder to some more of the Ideas-based Christian nationalism that Josh Hawley delivered on night one.
	He understands it.
	This drove the fusionist and left-left-me faction mental.
	And we'll go first to Ben Shapiro.
	Ben Shapiro is a conservative in the sense of he's conserving liberalism.
	And I think this might be derived from the fact that as a racial and religious minority in America, he wants to preserve the liberal principle of freedom of religion rather than having an established church or an established dominant host nation, for example, and Shapiro...
	It was very pedantic about Vance's point and refused to admit the demographic factors which mean that a home is kept a certain way because the homeowners keep it like that, not the house guests.
	But also, just a quick thing, facts don't care about your feelings.
	Well, it is a fact that Vance is correct about the description of the history and demography of the United States.
	It's just uncontestable.
	America is not just an idea.
	It is a group of people with a shared history and a common future.
	made by the World War II veteran who spoke yesterday.
	That America is not just an idea, it's a homeland.
	Which, of course, is absolutely true.
	Here is Senator Vance last night.
	America is not just an idea.
	It is a group of people with a shared history and a common future.
	It is, in short, a nation.
	Now, it is part of that tradition, of course, that we welcome newcomers.
	But when we allow newcomers into our American family, we allow them on our terms.
	People will not fight for abstractions, but they will fight for their home.
	And if this movement of ours is going to succeed, and if this country is going to thrive, our leaders have to remember that America is a nation, and its citizens deserve leaders who put its interests first.
	Again, I agree with everything he's saying.
	I'm just not sure what he's arguing against.
	Because obviously America is a nation.
	France is also a nation.
	Poland is also a nation.
	When he says that America is a land, yes, so is literally every other land.
	That's true.
	And America happens to be the best land.
	I mean, it's absolutely incredible.
	It's the best land and it's the best nation.
	But why?
	Why?
	And the answer is the idea that's connected to those things.
	He says that America is not just an idea.
	And of course, that's true.
	I think the thing that he's arguing against, and here I agree with him, I think the thing he's arguing against is this sort of abstracted idea that Joe Biden uses all the time, where he says, it's not who we are.
	And what he means by that is it's not who the left is.
	In the attempt to universalize American values in the sense that they can either be exported to Iraq or imported from Guatemala, that's silly and it's wrong.
	And I think that's what he's saying right there.
	But that's exactly your point, Ben, when you said you didn't care about the browning of America.
	You are saying that, okay, fine, the values are abstracted and therefore disconnected from the people who hold them, who produce them, and therefore it doesn't matter if those people no longer exist.
	Magic soil theory.
	Which doesn't apply to Israel.
	But also, like, you could say, well, like, you know, we've, you know, we've spoken to these guys over in these countries and they say, yeah, we agree with liberal values too, then we can just take an infinite number of them.
	And it's like, okay, but the liberal values are, one, legalistic, right?
	It's a social contract.
	As in, it's your relationship with the government.
	It doesn't really say all that much about your relationships with one another, and that is all left unsaid in the Anglo tradition.
	And we've got lots of culture and customs that, frankly, Americans don't really have nearly as much as the older Anglo world has, right?
	Like saying please and thank you when someone serves you a till.
	But the Americans just don't, and it's really rude, right?
	And so there are so many other, like, unspoken social customs that prop all of the legalistic nature of the anglo beliefs up that they just don't seem to get and so ben sorry i know i'm going on but this is very frustrating he's being totally disingenuous i mean he knows that vance actually is arguing against him yeah he must know right yeah he must know otherwise what is a nation will be daily wise next documentary if he doesn't understand that it's not just the land mass it's the people that then generate the values and
	And I say it doesn't apply to Israel because, understandably, he wouldn't want the same rules to apply.
	He wouldn't want it to be civic-nationalist because they have enemies on all sides.
	Well, so does America now, pouring through its southern border.
	And so it does pose a threat to the structural integrity of the American project and its continuity.
	And so it's not fair to say treat them the same.
	And lots of the Jews that go to NatCon understand the same thing.
	Oh, yeah.
	Because now they're going, ah, all of that immigration hasn't been exactly great for antisemitism on college campuses, has it?
	It's not a very wise move.
	Now, just to cap this off, we'll go to resident liberal James Lindsay, who has been Per his post-Christian nationalism constantly counter-signalling J.D.
	Vance, my primary concern with Vance isn't that he's a problem in and of himself, though I strongly disagree with his post-liberty philosophy.
	Not liberalism, post-liberty.
	He's harmonised the concepts.
	You know what?
	I'll allow it.
	I'll allow it.
	No, no.
	The English were... The English had a degree of liberty without needing liberal ideology.
	No, no, no.
	Liberty being a Latin word... Liberty, not licence.
	Yes.
	But liberty being a Latin word is alien and foreign.
	No, we have freedom.
	We have the old, earthy Anglo-Saxon freedom.
	You can keep your French liberty, all you want.
	It's something weird and alien, and I don't believe in it.
	I believe in English freedom.
	So yes, they can keep that.
	But his main complaint is, it's that the administrative apparatus he wants to maintain gets staffed with similar but more radical ideologues for his position.
	He is against sacking the members of the... but they're not James Lindsay's guys.
	I know.
	It's this belief in neutral institutions, even though the so-called neutral institutions are the exact thing that have been inflicting the ideologies that James has been campaigning against for ages.
	But also, what's the alternative?
	Well, the neutral institutions should be staffed by parts and leftists.
	And why would we call it a neutral institution?
	He's like a kid in the playground who's constantly squirming in front of a bully and saying, punch, punch him, punch him instead.
	It's amazing that even now, James Lindsay doesn't understand that actually so much of the American system isn't salvageable.
	Oh, yeah.
	And just the very nature of the sort of Floating ideals of neutral liberalism is such an obviously false conceit that the classical liberals are holding at this point.
	Well, like this.
	He needs to clarify his views on enlightenment liberalism.
	Scaring people off in droves, as are most of his ardent supporters.
	No, the Enlightenment liberalism is the thing that's pried America away from its founding ethos and stock.
	That is the issue.
	Also, his main complaint with Vance's speech.
	The entire woke-anti-woke fight is a fight of abstractions.
	Only if you deny the peoples that generated the ideas that you purport to believe in.
	Because if you think these ideas just came from the ether, ex nihilo, at the advent of the enlightened one, by nobody in particular, then it's an idea of abstractions.
	Rule of law isn't an abstraction.
	Rule of law is custom.
	Yeah, yeah.
	That's just an absolute non-sequitur.
	It doesn't follow.
	It's completely concrete when someone is arrested or not arrested.
	Depending on the crime.
	It's absolutely something real.
	Yeah, it's not Gnostic Marxism to notice that the English generated these ideas.
	And he's also then accusing Vance of using the rhetoric of blood and soil, which he never did, which would be kind of inconvenient because he has an Indian wife.
	No, because he's not talking about racial purity.
	And this is another problem.
	Vance is speaking to something, again, that is concrete.
	He is speaking to a web of relations and inheritances, which is Very much mapped onto the real world.
	Blood and soil is again, another abstract category where it could be where literally anything in the category is totally fungible.
	What Vance is speaking about is in a Tolkien-esque way, unique named individuals who occupy a particular place and time who are not replaceable, right?
	They are always there and they will always be them in that place.
	And for all time, they will have been them in that place.
	Whereas blood and soil nationalism is just give me a person with white skin and I have a white person and therefore I'm satisfied.
	It's an interchangeable, fungible category.
	That's not what Vance is saying.
	No.
	So the only good thing that Lindsay did recommend is to, paradoxically, re-watch your chat with him, because he seems to think that yourself and Vance have the same idea.
	And I agree.
	Carl made some great points in this discussion.
	And I look forward to the second American founding by our hillbilly Caesar.
	A, I was right about everything in that discussion, and B, Vance is right because, like I said, I feel very represented by Vance because we're very clearly on the same page when it comes to a more mythological, holistic view of the world rather than an abstract, categorical view of the world.
	It's obviously the right way to look at things, and that's what post-liberal means at the base, I think.
	Yep, go on Kentucky Aragorn.
	And with that, we'll go to the few video comments we have before we have to wrap up in about five minutes, if that's okay?
	Sorry, this has overrun a bit.
	Well, the conversation has been too good to miss, frankly.
	On the subject of the assassination attempt on the Orange Man, I can't help but note that there have actually been a lot of attempts on his life in the past.
	A bunch of them during his original campaign season.
	And then there was some guy that tried to mail him ricin, I think?
	You know, some powdery substance that they sent in to mail him while he was president?
	Beyond that, check out the book, Assassination, which is about many noteworthy assassination attempts in American history by leftists, as told with Lego.
	Fun for the whole family.
	There's an interesting coffee table book.
	As for the 2016 crowd shooting, the guy didn't actually have a gun, it's just that they rushed him off stage because they called him to have a gun, but it's obvious you need to be on guard for this sort of stuff because Trump is the most demonised man in the world.
	And that should just not be possible to do to a president or a presidential candidate.
	Quite.
	I'll be going over exactly how they could do that in about half an hour.
	So what happened in CrowdStrike's Falcon Crash exactly?
	It had access to the heart of Windows computers, or the kernel.
	It's so sensitive that you have to get special certification to even run code here.
	CrowdStrike running here is already unusual, and even more unusual is updating the code running there without recertification.
	The update they pushed, essentially, was like an autoimmune disease, and made fixing the issue very convoluted and time-consuming.
	I've not looked into the CrowdStrike thing, but it is very strange.
	Yeah, I do want to, because it's another example of the competence crisis.
	It affected voting machines in Maricopa County, Arizona, which is a bellwether for electoral fraud, so make of that what you will.
	How strange.
	On to the next one.
	So the Degenerate Race Communist Party has already deployed their two greatest weapons in their fight to make Cuntmala president, and that is the race and gender card.
	Hasn't even been 24 hours and already we're getting that.
	Well, as Willie Brown, Kamala's mentor, wanted her to get ahead, his, is fond of saying, I could have told you, Kamala sucks at her job.
	That was brilliant.
	But just as a quick serious note, what else do they have to say about that?
	What else could you really say about Kamala?
	I do think Trump needs to be careful of the debates though.
	I agree.
	Because she is really unlikable, and he needs to have the same stature he did when approaching Biden, just because they're going to try and depict him as bullish and... Orthogonist.
	Yeah.
	What Trump should do is just ask her questions.
	She'll give her answer and then just ask a follow-up question.
	Because I bet she just sort of claps and goes, haha, I don't know.
	Why didn't you go to the border?
	Yeah.
	Why didn't you go?
	I went.
	There you go.
	Have we got any more?
	Yes.
	Hi guys, I've been a fan of the show since it started and this is my first video comment for you.
	It's good to see something being done about Just Stop Oil, but what do you think the odds are that the group's underlings will continue their reign of terror, blocking up the roads and spraying buildings with orange paint?
	Multiple arrests that he threw today.
	Yeah, I actually think they're going to be cracked down on slightly, because the point of Just Stop Oil is to be the foot soldiers of what the regime already wanted, and to try and accelerate the Conservatives to take climate action.
	The Labour Party have already accelerated it, so they're going to quote-unquote put the work away.
	But yeah, why wouldn't you?
	I mean, you guys are attacking the wrong target.
	Stop it.
	Yeah.
	We've primed you to continue doing this.
	one of the interesting things is that dale vince who is one of their primary backers um who is a big supporter of the hamas and all the climate terrorists and all the like he is now fully on board with ed miller band's climate plans because he's got a renewable energy firm that's going to get massive government subsidies so he's not going to fund just a boil as much anymore because he's getting direct cash in his pocket from the clientele state so there's no point and There's a couple of rumble rants I just want to read.
	Josie's Angel says, New York can stuff the ballots all day long, but they won't get one more delegate.
	Yeah.
	And this again, like in deep blue areas.
	OK, great.
	Well done.
	But will it help in the swing states?
	Possibly not.
	And OPH UK says, Carl, help me out here, mate.
	You saying my full name, you saying my full name going to help me get some moot.
	I don't even know what that means.
	I don't know what that means.
	We attempt to be a family friendly show here.
	So, yeah, I don't I don't want to say your full name.
	Yes, quite.
	We're just going to read out a couple of compliments for our wonderful guest here, Rory Nationalist.
	Blood on your saddle.
	Fantastic guest.
	Hope Wren will become a regular.
	Entirely dependent on his busy schedule, of course.
	I would love to.
	And how many incredible jackets he has lined up to show off with us.
	People were saying, like Jam Harvey and Angus are saying, that they've got their copies of Islander in the States and Australia.
	So that's fantastic.
	You can enjoy reading Wren's article in there.
	Rory is already underway working on the second issue.
	We've got some great contributors lined up for you.
	I just want to say as well, I've heard nothing but praise for Islander.
	Yeah, it's great.
	It's fantastic.
	It's beautiful.
	Really good.
	It's been absolutely fantastic.
	And Garlic Goblin, what an eye-opening intro from Warwick Nationalist.
	It seems clear our government is at war with us.
	However, I feel we're yet to properly acknowledge this and declare war in return.
	Okay, we'll tamp that down a bit.
	Merely legal and political.
	Just as what they're doing, basically.
	We're not going to do anything extrajudicial.
	That would be unwise.
	With that, we are over time, but do you fancy telling people where they can get Man's World and the like?
	Yeah, of course.
	So you can get your copies of Man's World from passage.press.
	It's a subscription service, so there are two issues this year, four next year.
	So we're moving to a quarterly format.
	Follow me on Twitter, babygravy9.
	It's my dubious handle.
	That's an awful handle.
	It is dreadful, isn't it?
	But I've had to stick with it.
	I think you can actually change them.
	But it's famous now.
	It is, yeah.
	And raweggstack.com, that's my substack.
	And mansworldmag.online is the online version of Mansworld.
	We've got a store now on the Mansworld website where you can get all sorts of great t-shirts, trucker caps.
	We've got some great Trump t-shirts if you scroll down.
	Some you missed.
	We've got a Trump Vance 2024.
	We've got a Slightly spicy Menefrago Trump tea that you might want to... Emperor Barron.
	Yeah, Emperor Barron.
	That'll happen someday.
	Rigors could be here.
	Yeah, we didn't even get onto your famous euphemism meme.
	I suppose we'll have to save that for another time.
	We will.
	Thank you so much for coming in, sir.
	It was an absolute pleasure.
	Yeah, it was a good laugh.
	I'll be back in half an hour, or 25 minutes now, with Thomson Talks, talking to Warren Farrell.
	Otherwise, we'll be back 1 o'clock tomorrow, UK time.
