	Music Hello!
	Samson gave us a funny intro, so I can't introduce us properly.
	But welcome to the podcast of the Load Seaters for the 24th of October, 2024.
	I am joined by Harry.
	Hello.
	Hello.
	Were you expecting me to say it in the way that would appeal to our new Japanese market?
	You could do.
	I'll save it for next time.
	Okay.
	I'm going to just tease the audience.
	So, I'm also Josh, worth mentioning.
	Still am, to this day.
	No one cares.
	That's true.
	You're right, Harry.
	I'll give you that one.
	And we're going to be talking about how Soros is funding Compact magazine, how Trump is Hitler, and how the Redcoats will not be influencing the US presidential election.
	Not this time.
	Not this time.
	Maybe one day.
	When we get it back.
	When we recolonise you.
	Americans watching this right now, we love you, we want to give you better...
	Well, we can't give you better government right now, but Josh and I specifically will give you better government.
	We're working on it.
	Yeah.
	But not actually, because if the CIA is watching...
	We don't have the resources to do that.
	And also I have an announcement.
	Congratulations to Captain Charlie the Beagle.
	He posted this today saying, Hey guys, I just wanted to bring a white pill to today's segment.
	I'd like to announce that I have become a dad.
	A daughter born last night at 7 pounds, 2 ounces or 3.25 kilograms.
	Mum and baby are doing very well.
	Well, congratulations to you.
	Yes.
	Wanted to include that.
	Thank you very much for watching.
	I imagine you're going to have many sleepless nights, and I'm sure our coverage isn't going to help with that, to be honest.
	We hope to bring a little bit of fun to the proceedings.
	That's true, yes.
	And speaking of which, shall you take us away?
	Alright, so let's take a look at the secret Soros fascist fund, because it turns out that old George Soros, you know, the third-worldist, progressive, liberal, leftist, awful...
	Ancient man.
	Ancient, surprisingly still alive man.
	Eldritch demon.
	His family is funding evil fascist magazines, or at least Vanity Fair would like you to believe that that's the case.
	And we'll be looking at what's been going on with that.
	First, though, if you want to give us, the real fascists, some funds, we're not actually fascists, we're not...
	I was gonna say...
	Don't worry, we're not actually fascists.
	Then you can fund us by buying the merchandise that's available on the website.
	Right now we've got the featured products.
	We've got the Donald Trump fight mug.
	We've got Rumped.
	Sorry, Trump.
	That was the original plan for it.
	Rump24.
	No, it's Trump24.
	The man just wanted to grill.
	and some wonderful t-shirts like the metal islander magazine t-shirt so get a hold of that while you still can every bit of merchandise that's on the website is pretty much limited for a limited only available for a limited time so get it while you still can anyway that's it that my merch idea of ain't gay if it's the cia didn't get in there but There's always next time.
	I know.
	There is always next time.
	So this article came out just the other day.
	Why is a progressive megadonor funding right-wing ideas?
	This is an article from yesterday.
	It's on Vanity Fair.
	It's by Andrew Fedorov, who talks about how at a recent get-together, little lefty mags were roiled to learn that George Soros' foundations are supporting compact.
	A publication that has flirted with authoritarianism.
	It was weird to me the whole effing time, says one attendee.
	So that's the little byline they've got there to draw you in.
	George Soros, not authoritarian at all, not in his politics.
	Well, he leads the Open Society Foundation.
	The Open Society, of course, named after the Open Society and its enemies by Karl Popper.
	Which is a very subversive name for his Open Society because in many ways he's doing the antithetical thing to what that book argues for.
	Even then the open society itself is authoritarian in its own way because it's essentially the perpetual liberal democracy which can only exist if liberal democracy is policed at its fringes and ideas outside of those fringes are ruthlessly repressed Which might have something to do with why George Soros,
	or his son Alexander in this case, is funding a magazine like Compact, which the mainstream media would like you to believe is some kind of radical far-right publication.
	I think you'll see through the course of this, it is certainly not.
	Certainly not if you look at the activities of its fans.
	Founder and editor Sourabh Alamari, who is a man that we've spoke about on the podcast before, specifically with Connor I've spoken about him, and Connor has said, quite rightfully so, not to be trusted.
	Anyway, so the context for this that goes into it on the article is that in June, in London, the Open Society Foundations convened a meeting of small publications from around the world.
	Editors travelled from South Africa, Nigeria, Mexico, Argentina, the United States, and elsewhere.
	In the preceding year, the foundations, now under the chairmanship of George Soros' son Alexander, had unleashed what felt like a flood of funding in the small-budget world of little magazines.
	Among the American lefty magazine luminaries drawn across the pond were the New York Review of Books editor Emily Greenhouse, Dissent co-editor Natasha Lewis, N Plus One co-editor and publisher Mark Krotov, the Baffler editor-in-chief Matthew Shen Goodman, Jewish Currents editor-in-chief the Baffler editor-in-chief Matthew Shen Goodman, Jewish Currents editor-in-chief Ariel Angel, and Looks editor-in-chief Sarah Leonard.
	Many, but not all, of the present publications, including the New York Review of Books and all of the other ones, had at one time received funds from the OSF, which makes sense because they're attending a big conference.
	Or at least a meeting held by the EOSF. But, remember in that as well that the Soros Foundation, the Open Society Foundation, George Soros himself, has no influence in politics whatsoever.
	That is a conspiracy theory, of course.
	He doesn't control any of the media or fund anybody except for all of these massive magazines.
	It appears the article itself won't let me scroll down anymore, but I have the rest of the information in my document here.
	People say the same thing about Bill Gates, just like why are all these conspiracy theorists talking about Bill Gates?
	The fact that he donates to the LA Times and then all of a sudden their unfavourable coverage becomes favourable has nothing to do with the fact he financially supports them.
	No, of course.
	Control over media magazines, control over the funding of them is of course a way to influence discussion that goes on and a way to control discussion that goes on.
	It carries on.
	Standing apart from the other Americans was Sourabh Amari, an editor of the online magazine Compact and the former op editor of the New York Post.
	The political drift of his magazine, which the New York Times' Michelle Goldberg described as mostly a reactionary publication with a strong authoritarian streak, clashed with the other attendees.
	Amari founded Compact in 2022 with Matthew Schmitz, a fellow conservative editor, and Edwin Aponte, a Marxist who left the project due to irreconcilable political differences.
	His mission at the outset was to promote a strong social democratic state that defends community, local and national, familial and religious against a libertine left and a libertarian right.
	So, immediately putting themselves against you, Josh.
	Not me.
	I'm not very well today.
	You can't be mean to me.
	It doesn't matter, of course, that he left.
	The very fact that it was started with a Marxist should tell you quite a lot.
	Despite the bipartisan framing, according to the Vanity Fair, their most prominent start-up funders belonged to the right.
	according to a pont they included Peter Thiel the right wing tech investor and JD Vance mentor and chairman of the board of the Claramont Institute Thomas Klingenstein both of whom in a pont's view should be robbed of all their money by a mob of poor people what a delightful chap eh that's I mean okay that's pretty authoritarian let's be honest but But either way, carrying on, while Amari has not criticised the open society itself, why would he?
	They paid him.
	He has expressed distaste for the West's open society ethos writ large, writing in a 2022 article that it's characterised by censure and censorship.
	His words also hyperlinked to a post by Richard Hanania, who some have labelled as a white supremacist, but others, more correct like myself, have labelled the worst person in the world.
	I don't get him.
	Why is he...
	What is his whole shtick?
	He seems very astroturfed, to me.
	Because it says here, he has acknowledged that he previously wrote racist posts, but said he no longer supports extremist ideas.
	He wrote for Vidair, and I think he wrote for the UNS review back in the day, under a pseudonym.
	But of course that drew him notoriety, that drew people in from the more radical fringes, but then when he reveals himself he then disavows those and immediately begins to basically promote a version of human biodiversity and race realism, if you want to call it that, that supports the idea that liberals are inherently smarter, they have higher IQs, they're more open to experiences, they're basically better than low-class, stupid Republican voters.
	So it's basically the regime's ideology, more or less.
	But isn't he a Palestinian himself?
	Yes, but he is fervently pro-Israel.
	He basically says that Israel isn't genociding the Palestinians, but they need to.
	That's his position on it.
	It's a controversial position.
	So, he is a creature of the regime.
	He represents, along with a lot of the people who will be spoken about here, the right-most part of the regime discourse, where they want you to allow.
	So here's the Overton window, here's where the mainstream want it to be, here's the right-most edges, here's all the stuff that's actually dangerous to the regime, and the mainstream and the status quo.
	Does this function as in it tries to suck people in from the fringes into acceptable discourse, sort of within the train tracks of neoliberalism?
	Yes, and this is in all likelihood why somebody like George Soros and his son would want to fund the magazine like Compact, because it keeps everybody nice and centred, nice and centrist in their views.
	And it says here, nevertheless, the year after that Compact article, OSF awarded it $200,000.
	$200,000.
	So, again, this seems like a collection of some of the worst people in the world, all policing the edges of acceptable discourse to make sure that you don't start to think about anything like ethnic solidarity or the need for mass deportations of foreigners in your country who come in and explicitly make it a worse place.
	They want you to be aware that there is such a thing as biological diversity between humans, but only between classes, which means that the Democrats who are higher class are better than you, who have your backwards, repressive ideas.
	It's basically saying that the bureaucrats policing your life and making it a living hell is superior to you and therefore just obey them.
	Yeah, I think Hanania describes himself as somewhat of a Nietzschean.
	So he basically presents the idea that the Democrat status quo is the Nietzschean Superman master morality.
	Whereas you, with your petty nationalisms, that's slave morality.
	But that's a really, really tough sell when you look at who the Democrats are.
	And when you look at any picture of Richard Hanania himself and consider this man thinks that he is biologically superior Superman material.
	Yes, I don't see him as being an ubermensch, personally.
	No, but I've considered this, basically what it is, it's a cuckoo's nest.
	You get sold that you are getting right-wing, authoritarian, radical views in something like Compact Mag, but then the egg hatches and that you're just getting centrist social democracy all over again.
	Every single time.
	That's what it exists to promote, as we'll find out.
	Carrying on, presiding over the meeting in London was Leonard Bernardo, OSF's Senior Vice President, known to most as Lenny.
	As the head of OSF's Idea Workshop, which started about 20 months ago, he is the face of this flood of funding to small publications.
	He clarified,"...our interest is in ensuring that magazines of different stripes but not large publications have the ability to offer elements of critique in the world of ideas and imagination." And that world apparently includes compact, which Bernardo believes is gathering a new mix of ideas and bringing forward an important set of critiques.
	There's a real progressive commitment to a strong state, and a state that itself is undergirded by commitments towards fair distribution of wealth.
	So basically what he's saying there is, well, yeah, they have some socially conservative values, but really what they're promoting is a strong state that will always benefit the bureaucracy which benefits the Soros foundations and other incredibly liberal foundations because they get to fill the strong state full of their own agents.
	But also, what gets called conservative in this day and age, and what sometimes gets regarded as conservative, or even sometimes called far-right, would have been acceptable for a 90s Democrat platform.
	As we see with lots of Republicans, actually.
	Bill Clinton's family values is the furthest right the social conservatism goes, except with gay marriage.
	That's what they want you to think is the most right-wing kind of discussion that you can have, and they want you to police it yourselves.
	Indeed, it carries on, the magazine has published writers whose intellectual origins lie on the left and right from Slavoj Žižek, Excuse me?
	Famous for being an apologist for Marxism.
	Well, I think sometimes the Stalin stuff can be a bit on the nose to wind people up.
	There was a Vice documentary where they went round his house, and the first thing you see is a little portrait of Stalin when you walk in, and he just says, I just put this here to wind people up.
	I mean, I'm going to say, Slavoj is a very entertaining man.
	As long as you don't have to listen to him.
	It makes me want to blow my nose out.
	That's when he's most entertaining.
	It makes me want to clear my throat and blow my nose out of solidarity.
	You know how empathy can drive you to do strange things?
	Are you hoping that there'll be some kind of psychic communication where he gets the urge to blow his nose as well?
	Come on Slavoj, you can do it!
	You can do it!
	But it's also published articles from Curtis Yarvin, who it describes as a race theorist, advocate of benevolent dictatorship and new right blogger.
	That's probably the most accurate description of someone in this article so far.
	Bernardo's contact with the right has extended beyond Compaq's founders.
	For example, he's personally rubbed shoulders with Yavin.
	I haven't solicited or received any funding from OSF, said Yavin over email, but noted he introduced me to an OSF board member, Ivan Krastev, who I liked a lot.
	Now, I just want to point something out, which is that these people may all have great diverging ideological views and some of the minor details, but there is something that's connecting all of these people.
	Soros, Greenhouse, Bernardo, Schmitz, Curtis, Leonard...
	There's something connecting all of them, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
	Me neither.
	I can't figure it out, so maybe somebody else can put that into words for me.
	Compact, it carries on, unlike other projects, Bernardo argues, is worthy of support because it offers challenging ideas while meeting his expectations of rigour.
	I'm uninterested in what I will call ideas that are beyond the pale, ideas that simply are, for example, of a generally racist or denialist character, but ideas that I disagree with, ideas that I find fault with, ideas that trouble me if they have particular standards of reasonability and decency, I would want to ensure that there is a proper hearing so that we can, in the broader marketplace of ideas, contend with them accordingly.
	And that's everything you need to know from it.
	There are ideas that are still outside of the respectable boundaries of decency, which we don't want anybody to be promoting, but there are ideas that are slightly on the fringes that we want people to think are as far as you can go.
	We want to draw a border around these ideas and say you can go no further.
	We don't want current orthodoxy challenged.
	I can see this being quite effective because...
	It's containment.
	If you can't...
	It's sort of like imagining, well, what is at the edge of the universe?
	If you have no contact with it, it's impossible to know.
	And you can't just magically imagine it.
	You have to come into contact with it.
	And if people are policing the fringes, it's a very good way of making people completely unaware that there are different paradigms that challenge the existing one.
	But the paradigms that they're trying to keep you within here do not challenge the status quo.
	Not really.
	They want you to think that as far as you can go is social democracy but with family values.
	Which might work for some if that's your...
	It's basically a reinvention of liberalism, isn't it?
	Yeah.
	If that's your preference, then that's absolutely fine.
	But presenting it as far-right authoritarianism is false advertising done very much on purpose, deliberately to mislead Well, people tend not to have a very good idea of how the political landscape actually lies outside of what the current political paradigm is, what's within the Overton window.
	It takes a lot of deliberate work to understand which ideas lay outside of that window.
	And where to characterise them, I suppose.
	I think there's an easier way of figuring out which ideas you're not allowed to talk about, which is if you talk about them, will groups like the ADL go after you?
	Will groups like the SPLC go after you?
	Will Hope Not Hate do a hit piece on you?
	That's where you can understand.
	Will you be arrested?
	Or will even people supposedly on the right, will James Lindsay?
	Will Constantine Kissin?
	Will Richard Hanania go after you?
	So talking about the Archangel Michael is now beyond the pale.
	Basically.
	I mean, to be fair with James Lindsay, I think his brain broke at some point.
	I think he's actually insane.
	And I think he needs help.
	I almost feel a little bit bad talking him down because obviously a lot of the online abuse he gets has been getting to him.
	And I feel a little bit sorry for the guy.
	Well, I've thrown some of my own, so...
	It's okay.
	But carrying on, so what does the compact do?
	Well, giving credit, they are pro-Trump, and that's about the only thing that I'm going to say in their favour.
	They talk about immigration as a constitutional issue.
	I think some of the better indicators of the kinds of things that they talk about, and the way that they act as containment...
	Is Chris Rufo, who does do good work, I will give him credit for doing some good work, writing an article saying, against racialism, left and right.
	So this, again, is against the idea that there are group differences, and that these groups, and because of their differences, will not always mesh together properly.
	They will, in fact, violently clash.
	No, we don't have that.
	This is the definition of containment, though, because the genie's out the bottle now, right?
	You can't put that away.
	With mass migration, especially into Europe, and even mass migration of, say, the Haitians into Springfield, that's happened very recently, people have got more contact than ever before, they're noticing the differences, and they're saying, we can't live like this.
	We can't live together.
	Even within the paradigm of the anti-woke liberals, you know, you can still push back on this stuff because, of course, you've got that argument that gets banded around whereby they say, well, if there's such a thing as multiculturalism, then there has to be cultural differences.
	You hear that from those sort of tepid anti-woke people, don't you?
	Yes, and Saurabh Amari seems to me to be very much of the tepid anti-woke.
	But let's see what else they've got here.
	Marco Rubio, that's interesting.
	Very much anti-regime is Marco Rubio?
	No.
	No, not at all.
	One of my favourite ones down here was, Why Ta-Nehisi Coates hates Israel?
	Only for me, my personal gripe against Nahisi Coates is the fact that he is massively anti-white and a spewer of anti-white hate propaganda.
	But no, apparently it's Israel that we should be most focused on in this.
	That's very, very interesting.
	And so, Rabbi Amari, he writes articles for them, of course, because he is a founder and an editor for them.
	Most of it seems to be regarding the election, which you would expect.
	Here's one from January, though, that I thought was very interesting.
	The right's foolish drive to cancel MLK. Oh, you're the right man for this one, aren't you?
	I am, because if you go onto the website, if you're a premium member, you can find my podcast from last January, 2023, explaining to you why MLK is not a conservative hero.
	Now, what it appears to me is that Amari would want you to remain within the civil rights paradigm, that we should judge people by the content of their character and not their colour.
	But the thing is, the right's foolish drive to cancel MLK is entirely based on examining him by his character.
	Yeah, well, he wasn't a good man.
	He wasn't a moral man in, in fact, many ways.
	He's a very, very immoral figure.
	For one, he participated in a rape.
	That'll do it.
	That is the first and foremost thing I think anybody should say about his character.
	Two, he was a massive plagiarist.
	Three, If you look at the FBI reports from people who were examining him at the time, you'll see very, very clearly he was not an intelligent man, he was not an articulate man.
	All of his most famous speeches were written by his handlers, who were people like Stanley Leveson.
	He was in favour of reparations.
	His handlers themselves, Stanley Leveson, communist.
	And by the time that he was assassinated, he was pushing for more and more and more radical redistribution of wealth.
	Wasn't he a Marxist as well?
	Basically.
	He said in some of his books that he wasn't, but if you examine some of the more personal interactions that he had with people, he said that he was a socialist and just couldn't call himself a Marxist because of Marx's materialism, whereas he was a Christian so he couldn't go with a full materialist view of the world.
	That seems to be the only difference.
	That's why he has a speech that centrists like to point to saying, why I am not a communist.
	It's all to do with religious disagreements.
	In terms of the way that he would want the state to be structured, and in terms of the way that he would want wealth to be redistributed, he absolutely was.
	The centrist and centre-right attempt to hold him up as some kind of conservative hero is a lie.
	Frankly, it's a complete lie that's meant to keep you within that civil rights paradigm, because the Civil Rights Act was the first great piece of anti-white legislation that was passed in America.
	Hate to break it to you, Sourabh Amari, not to be trusted because of this.
	Here's some of his past clangors as well.
	So, just to be 100% on that, because why would you say it's anti-white?
	I know why you are, but just for the sake of the audience...
	Because of the fact that it was just used along with a number of court orders and judges' decisions in the 1970s to allow for basically racial hiring.
	Racial preferences on hiring, where there were a number of cases throughout the 1970s that basically meant that Employers had to discriminate against white people in preference of ethnic minorities.
	This came about at the same time Civil Rights Act 1964.
	1965 you have the Hart-Celler Act which opened up America to mass immigration from the Third World as opposed to the 1924 to 1964 Immigration Act which basically restricted it to European immigration and even then very restricted.
	But your video is great on that, so I do suggest people go and watch that.
	There's a lot to it, but it is pretty simple.
	Basically, civil rights makes it so that racial hiring preferences are now legal, but only in favour of ethnic minorities.
	The year after, mass immigration from ethnic minorities comes about, and then you start to see the development of WOKE, which I see mainly as an ideology purpose built to disadvantage whites.
	So he's writing this article basically to make people alleviate the symptoms of the problem, but not the actual root cause of it.
	Yeah, it's to keep people from exploring the option saying, maybe this was a mistake.
	Maybe this was a mistake, a group-based mistake in group resource conflict meant to disadvantage me as a member of my group.
	That's the kind of thinking they don't want you to have, which is why he's able to write articles like this.
	The new racist rights are uniquely dangerous and Call anybody who's racist Nazis, as of course we know is what the right-wing do.
	That's a right-wing talking point, that you're a Nazi if you disagree with me, right?
	No.
	In fact, even some of the left are getting fed up with this.
	Yeah, it's because it's pathetic.
	It's pointless.
	And he just, you know, says that, oh, the real threat is the white nationalist potential uprising.
	Is it?
	Yeah, which is the classic centrist line.
	He also wrote this a few months ago, which is one of my favourites.
	Biden's performance should make us grateful for the deep state.
	I examined this one at the time.
	That was fun.
	He had an opinion piece from Michelle Goldberg in the New York Times called The Right Winger Calling for Social Democracy which was an interview and a review of his book Tyranny Incorporated which outright states here much of the book's analysis feels decidedly leftist.
	That's because it is!
	Yes.
	I kept wondering how Amari had gone from conservative cultural crusader to genuine economic populist and, more important, whether any other social traditionalists could make the same leap.
	And there it is.
	He is supposed to provide a blueprint for how to switch you from being a radical far-right danger to the mainstream into being a milquetoast centrist You know, he's got a few conservative views here and there, but otherwise completely upholds the status quo.
	But so do people who are entirely apolitical.
	It's like you could just get a lobotomy of your political views and ask someone on the street, you know, what is the best way to raise a child?
	Oh, with two parents.
	Oh, what are you, far right?
	Well, again, that's as far right as you're allowed to go in this paradigm.
	Here's one that came out today called T. Biden's Economic Reformers Deserve Another Four Years No Matter Who Wins.
	I want to break something reading this title.
	American viewers, right now, please let us know in the comments...
	How well are these economic reforms from Joe Biden's team going?
	Are you better or worse off than you were under Trump?
	There are so many metrics.
	This is just gaslighting.
	I take this as a deliberate personal affront to anyone with functioning eyes and ears.
	Anybody who goes out and notices that when they shop at Walmart, their bills are significantly more expensive.
	What's the price of gas these days?
	When Trump was president, wasn't America energy independent?
	What happened to that?
	Well, apparently, it was a dogged group within the administration building support for a manufacturing revival in the US. You know, that thing that Donald Trump was working on.
	Yeah, that was why his Rust Belt, you know, support was really high, was he was doing that.
	Well, apparently, no, Donald Trump's economic reforms, his approach to the economy, no, that wasn't good enough.
	We need to stick with the Biden approach.
	Bidenomics, two thumbs up, says radical right Sourabh Amari, an authoritarian, but not the kind that the, uh, Vanity Fair would like you to think.
	And here's the funniest one.
	So we covered at the time that there was the interview that Tucker Carlson did last month with Daryl Cooper, Marta Maid, which made all of the usual suspects absolutely freak out.
	Well, guess what?
	Sourab was one of them, calling him a Nazi apologist, calling him a barbarian right pseudo-scholar.
	Although I do quite like the name barbarian right.
	That's quite good.
	You do fit the bill quite well.
	Thank you very much for that one.
	I'll take that.
	Thank you, Sourab.
	Yeah, he took a nuanced view.
	He tried to approach it as a historian and look at both sides of arguments, lots of different sources.
	That was his approach to it, rather than being ideological and saying, you know, obviously he's a bad guy and that's all you're allowed to say about it.
	Well, I mean, he acknowledged that Hitler was a bad person, and that what he did in the East especially was terrible, but he also said, hey, we also did a lot of bad things, and Churchill was, and you can even look at contemporary accounts from his contemporaries that agree with this, a warmonger who wanted to escalate the war.
	Which he did.
	Now, if you're in support of that, I disagree with you, but fair enough.
	But it's not pseudo-scholarship to say such a thing.
	Well, it's certainly within the bounds of acceptable public debate in a reasonable society, isn't it?
	Well, we're not in a reasonable society, and SORAB, as with everything to do with Compact, wants to police those boundaries.
	If you can't criticise the way that the Second World War is portrayed in mainstream histories...
	Then you can't criticise the way that the narrative is used today to justify constant American adventurism and interfering in international wars.
	Because that's the way that it's used.
	The way in which people discuss World War II tries to justify future adventurism, doesn't it?
	That's part of the reason for it.
	And my position is that war is hell and we should avoid it as much as possible, except in extreme circumstances where you actually are forced into it.
	Yes, but that's why George Soros is funding Sorabamari and Compact.
	It is to keep you in the playpen of acceptable discussion and not go thinking any dangerous thoughts now.
	So, it's not really fascist.
	Maybe it is, but not in the way that Vanity Fair thinks it is.
	Anyway.
	You've got a bunch of chats in.
	I do!
	Thank you all very much.
	We'll get the next segment up while I read through some of them.
	So that's a random name.
	A pretty consistent superchatter, so thank you very much.
	One dollar...
	Scroll down, thank you.
	Treating us like a cheap one dollar whore here.
	But he does it quite a few times per stream, so it's alright.
	Well, you're getting your money's worth, at least.
	Democratic socialists are the new national socialist.
	Socialism is a blight on this world.
	I just want to play video games without having my nation flooded by yuckies from the country poo.
	Interesting choice.
	I completely disagree that they are the new National Socialists.
	Democratic Socialists were around at the same time as National Socialists.
	They both have big problems with the ideology, but National Socialists would not have wanted to flood your country with Third Worlders.
	They would have wanted to flood Eastern European countries with Germans.
	That was the whole Lebensraum thing.
	Dogbreath the Third, the perfect description is fans of smaller headwear.
	Don't know what you could mean there.
	Mark Ashmed.
	I'm surprised you...
	Shamed.
	Mark the shamed.
	I'm ashamed now.
	Arabizing people.
	Sorry.
	I assume there's a remarkable number of Arabs in our audience at all times.
	Surprised you haven't picked up the story on the Royal Navy officer who was praised after running New Zealand naval ship aground.
	Sure that incident has wider reaching implications.
	I've not actually heard of that.
	I've heard about it and looked into it, and I just had other things come up that were more pressing to cover.
	But it was on my radar, and I don't know, maybe if I struggle to find something I'll cover it, but...
	Sometimes we do have to just choose not to cover something, not because we think it's not important, but sometimes there's too much news.
	Yeah, that's a random name again.
	I'm at the point where anybody who is right-wing yet is any position that is part of the system, GB News, Reform, James Lindsay, KK, etc., are moles slash containment.
	Their actions speak for themselves.
	I definitely agree with that last point there.
	Excuse me.
	BaldEagle1787 has sent two superchats in saying, I had a history teacher who was part of the FBI detail tasked with dealing with MLK. That's very interesting.
	He said the growing popularity of the Black Panthers and their violent nature is what got the civil rights passed.
	He also said MLK was dimwitted and susceptible to the communists around him, hence why the FBI was keeping tabs on him.
	He was also propped up to counter the Black Panthers as controlled opposition.
	Exactly.
	Why do you think he got...
	Why do you think he was allowed to have the march on Washington?
	Would somebody who was really a dissident to the system and what the regime wanted be allowed to do that?
	January 6th.
	Exactly.
	And also, yeah, Black Panthers, their violent nature, the summers of love throughout the 1960s, the civil rights riots in every northern city and southern city across the US were...
	Awful.
	They destroyed everything.
	It's why Detroit is still the way that Detroit is.
	And if you actually read the interviews that Martin Luther King conducted at the time, when they asked him about this, he goes, of course I don't support violence.
	I'm completely non-violent.
	But it's the voice of the oppressed speaking out.
	You know, the only way to get them to stop doing it is to give us what we want.
	Which is making excuses for the violence that they were conducting.
	Two more.
	DannyDelete0 for $5.
	The economic decisions under Joe Biden in four years are the same popularity as Keir Starmer in four months.
	Yep.
	And $15 from Bycat.
	Thank you very much.
	Something I can't read aloud because it would probably get us arrested.
	Yeah, sorry about that.
	I'm sure that there were quite a few irritated people in the chat.
	That's what they wrote, by the way.
	You didn't say that.
	Oh!
	First cough of the illness, there we go.
	Caught it on camera.
	Alright, let's go into your second then.
	I've got watery eyes.
	I can't see.
	Okay, I'm good.
	Right.
	Everyone knows that Trump is basically Hitler.
	This is common knowledge now.
	We all know it.
	We've seen him goose-stepping around.
	We've seen his armband.
	We've seen his rejection of economic liberalism.
	Oh, wait, no, we haven't.
	That's not true.
	Well, they used to have the red armbands.
	What's Trump known for these days?
	Red tie.
	Suspicious.
	Or a dog whistle.
	It could be.
	It's entirely possible.
	But speaking of America, we have a limited line of merch.
	If you'd like to buy it, I personally like the Trump Grilling T-shirt, which was actually made before Trump's McDonald's visit.
	So this was prophetic.
	We manifest it.
	And there's also mugs as well, and also just T-shirts.
	If you'd like to buy these, that would be very nice.
	It would help support us because we are demonetised on YouTube, and that would help us keep the lights on and help me get out of my hovel in Swindon So, please do.
	But anyway, enough of that.
	Also, you'll look really great.
	That's true.
	We know it'll look good on you.
	So, this article from The Atlantic came out, and I'm going to read a little bit about it, because loads of other media outlets picked up on this, the story that broke via The Atlantic, I believe, and it is, Trump, I need the kind of generals that Hitler had.
	And now, immediately when I read this headline, I thought, there's some funny business going on here, because I don't think that he's going to be, you know, invading Poland.
	I feel that this is either taken completely out of context or paraphrased dishonestly.
	I think it's more the former, because he did supposedly say that according to some sources, but we'll be able to have a look at that.
	So this article, I'm going to summarise most of it, but read a little bit because there's some devil in the details here that we need to pick apart.
	So, in April of 2020, Vanessa Gwilen, a 20-year-old army private, was bludgeoned to death by a fellow soldier at Fort Hood in Texas.
	And then Trump met the family and offered to pay for the funeral costs personally, except the funeral costs amounted to US $60,000.
	How?
	Yes, exactly.
	That's quite expensive for a funeral, isn't it?
	So Trump, after finding out about this, I'm reading directly from the article now, and this is other people's words.
	Trump became angry, and this is a direct quote, it doesn't cost 60,000 bucks to bury an effing Mexican.
	He turned to his chief of staff, Mark Meadows, and issued an order.
	Don't pay it.
	Later that day, he was still agitated.
	Can you believe it, he said, according to a witness, effing people trying to rip me off.
	It sounds like there were, to be honest.
	I know.
	And also, you know, he may be quite rich, but it's still annoying to someone if someone is, you know, you do a good deed and then it comes back to you as you owe them a lot of money.
	It's not a small amount of money.
	You can't afford to continually give away $60,000 all the time.
	There's a difference between charity, giving charity, and being scammed.
	Yeah.
	And you don't want to be scammed.
	And he blamed disloyal generals for making him shoulder this bill.
	He didn't blame the family, necessarily, because I don't think the family necessarily organised the funeral because they were grieving, and so the military offered to do it.
	As far as I understand it, at least, I could be wrong there.
	And so that takes us to some of the parts I've actually lifted from the article.
	And this is a really, really long article.
	They were obviously writing a really big piece that allows other journalistic outlets to pull from it and sort of make of it what they will, because a lot of these sort of pieces that are broke themselves.
	They write them out really long and then it sort of gives other outlets a menu to pick and choose what they want to report on themselves so they can also have a bit of variance and pick up different things and that's what we'll see.
	So I'm going to read a little bit from this.
	Normally I don't like reading a lot from articles because it gets a bit boring, but it is important in this instance because it is setting quite an important agenda in the run-up to the election.
	It's quite close now.
	It says, That is the most partisan statement I've ever read.
	So dishonest.
	Former generals who have worked for Trump say that the sole military virtue he prizes is obedience.
	As his presidency drew to a close in the many years since, he has become more and more interested in the advantages of dictatorship and the absolute control over the military that he believes it would deliver.
	But he's the commander-in-chief.
	The whole point of the military hierarchy is loyalty and obedience to those above you.
	Yes, one of the few roles of a US president is to be the commander-in-chief.
	And it's also worth mentioning as well...
	So if they're saying, oh, he wanted obedience from me and I couldn't do it, I didn't want to do it, well, okay, great, you've admitted to being a traitor.
	Mm-hmm.
	It's also worth mentioning as well that the US system, obviously set up with tyranny in mind, is actually quite well set up against this.
	So it's a very tough sell to say that even if Trump wanted to be a dictator, which I don't think he does, he wouldn't really be able to do that much.
	Like, if Trump actually did become a dictator, as they're saying here, it'd basically give him comparable powers to a UK Prime Minister under normal circumstances if they have a parliamentary majority.
	So it's kind of a bit ridiculous when you view it through that lens because the system has already got this massive separation of powers.
	And so the idea of Trump getting more power and then this somehow being an utter catastrophe, well, we already have that system in the UK. You know, you have the legislature And the executive as a fused body because we draw the government out of our legislature, unlike the US. So if that were to be the case, that would just mean that they would have a system that's more like Britain.
	Which is not as catastrophic as it might sound.
	Some would criticise the way that the American system is set up because without intending to, it allowed for the room for the swamp to grow.
	That's true, yeah.
	Well, one of the criticisms of the massive separation of powers is by separating power out as much as possible, it diffuses it and allows there to be more pressure points on a state than there might otherwise be.
	For infiltration and corruption.
	Yeah, and just big money in politics and NGOs and corporations pressuring people.
	If it's more spread out, they can do so more all-encompassingly.
	That's why the FBI and the military can both come out around when Donald Trump was president and say, we're not doing what Donald Trump wants us to do, even though Donald Trump was elected on a mandate to essentially fix America.
	Yeah, it's silly.
	And then it carries on to say, I need the kind of generals that Hitler had, Trump said in a private conversation in the White House, according to two people who heard him say this.
	People who were totally loyal to him that follow orders.
	That's a quote.
	In their book, The Divider, Trump in the White House...
	Yeah, by the way, the title of the book obviously not favourable to Trump.
	The Divider...
	Peter Baker and Susan Glasser reported that Trump asked John Kelly, his chief of staff at the time, why can't you be like the German generals?
	Trump at various points had grown frustrated with the military officials he deemed disloyal and disobedient.
	So there it is.
	He's the commander-in-chief and he is frustrated that generals are undermining him.
	Remember Mark Milley?
	Basically counter-signalling him constantly.
	Yeah.
	That's one of the people you need to look at during his tenure.
	Mark Milley said, I want to understand white rage.
	Yes.
	He's the guy that you want with an outsized amount of power in the American system, isn't he?
	Yeah, and then it continues on.
	Some of them were?
	Yeah.
	Evidently the ones that tried to kill him weren't.
	But he's trying to use an anecdote to just explain the level of loyalty he wants from his generals.
	He's not saying, you know, we need to annex Czechoslovakia.
	Also, honestly, I'm quite dubious of everything that's being reported here as well.
	I'm sort of taking it at face value, but obviously a certain amount of scepticism.
	You know, people publish a book just before the election cycle that's saying this sort of thing.
	Why didn't they say it at the time?
	It seems to me that it's been perfectly timed to impact the election.
	And this just reinforces the Democrat rhetoric that he's a danger to democracy.
	What this is trying to say, because everybody for a long time has been saying, well, if Trump was going to be an evil Hitler dictator over America, why didn't he do it in the first term?
	And they're saying, well, he wanted to be, he tried to be, but we had democratic protections stopping him from being, but will it work the second time around?
	That's the question they want gullible idiots thinking.
	Yeah, but it's also worth mentioning as well that if we're looking at it objectively by non-partisan metrics, a number of executive orders could be one of those metrics that you look at to assess how dictatorial a president is because they just sign something into law without it going through Congress necessarily.
	It's the exercise of their power.
	Well, Joe Biden used that far more than Donald Trump did.
	So by that metric...
	Mostly to repeal positive things that Donald Trump did.
	Yeah, that's true, yeah.
	In the first two weeks in office, he used 30 executive orders, and in prior times, the norm was about five.
	So that's a massive increase.
	And if I remember, a lot of it was to stop beneficial pipelines.
	Keystone pipeline.
	Yeah, the Keystone pipeline, and then a lot of it was also to pull back on border control.
	Yeah, there were loads of things that were obviously beneficial policies that Trump had instituted that he discontinued, and that's part of the reason that Bidenomics was such a disaster, is that he stopped the magic formula that seemed to be working.
	You know, obviously it could be improved, I'm not saying it's perfect, but it was at least doing...
	Exactly.
	And so it's undeniable that there's a load of nonsense at the base of this.
	But the Atlantic have really been going for this angle quite a lot.
	So Trump is speaking like Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini, which is quite a feat considering they're, you know, a national socialist, a communist and a fascist.
	I mean, how can he speak like three different ideologies there?
	Well, I would say because, I mean, Hitler and Mussolini have some similarities because of the fact, you know, they went out in public and gave very rousing speeches to crowds of thousands of people.
	Stalin not known for that.
	Stalin was a sneaky behind-the-scenes operator who only even revealed himself as the head of the Soviet Union towards the end of the 1930s.
	Well, there was a big struggle for power, wasn't there?
	Well, yeah.
	After he'd purged all of his enemies, then he was like, okay, I'm in charge to the international community.
	Because before then, I think they had some random figurehead who was technically the head of the Soviet councils.
	When Lenin was sort of in health towards 1924, it was looking like Bukharin was going to be the anointed favourite, and that didn't happen, so...
	I don't know why I'm getting onto Soviet history.
	Sorry, this is one of my pet topics.
	It's a fun topic, though.
	It is.
	No, but I think maybe just because, oh, they're all authoritarian.
	That's the only thing that draws them all together.
	But it's sort of throwing mud at a wall and seeing what sticks, isn't it?
	Because you can't reflect all of these three figures in reality because they're ideologically opposed.
	Some more so than others, but still.
	And the Rolling Stone, this is this effect that I was talking about earlier whereby different outlets pick up different parts of it.
	Rolling Stone went with that Trump was enraged by funeral costs for effing Mexican Rather than talking about the, I want the Hitler generals thing.
	And I think that this was, this is one of those things whereby the media sort of has a multitude of different strategies and they sort of push and see what works.
	And the Rolling Stone has emphasised a different aspect of the same story, really.
	And of course, because most people just read headlines, which is ironic because that's kind of what I'm doing here, but of course I'm analysing it as well.
	They won't necessarily question it, and so they're sort of going for maximal damage with maximal approaches with one story rather than just covering it all the same, which is interesting.
	So even the Telegraph, which is purportedly a right-wing newspaper in Britain, Trump is a fascist who praised Hitler, former chief of staff claims.
	Just published without that much.
	Obviously they've got fascists, you know, in...
	Inverted commas there, but still, he wasn't necessarily praising Hitler, he was just saying, I want loyal generals.
	It's a very different thing than that.
	It's media spin, it's nonsense.
	It is indeed.
	And then there's Forbes here, Trump fits the definition of fascist and said Hitler did some good things.
	I know!
	The funny thing is, they're saying this like it's unreasonable, but, you know, if you have a rational look at history, he did introduce an anti-smoking campaign.
	He had the autobahns, and he passed laws preventing animal cruelty.
	I don't agree with the man.
	I'm a libertarian, right?
	So I couldn't be as ideologically opposed.
	You know, I'm very anti-government.
	And to be clear, there is no logical through line that can be drawn from anti-smoking bans, animal cruelty laws, and building large auto barns to murder Jews.
	No.
	These two things are separate from one another, and so saying that these were good ideas and this was a bad idea doesn't mean that you're saying it was all fantastic, it was perfect, it was amazing.
	Yes, children do have an understanding of this idea.
	Grown-ups less so.
	Yeah.
	Weird, that, isn't it?
	But, um, yes.
	We've even got this from The Globalist, which is funny that this organisation exists.
	I've never heard of The Globalist.
	Trump and Hitler.
	How accurate a comparison.
	Not very.
	No.
	Not very at all.
	He doesn't even have a moustache.
	He doesn't.
	I've never seen him with a moustache.
	I've seen him with a bit of stubble and a beard.
	Doesn't look like Hitler.
	I've not seen him do the Centurion salute.
	I've not seen that.
	Never once.
	He wears a suit.
	I've never seen him in Nuremberg.
	He's probably been to Nuremberg.
	He's not been talking about Anschluss or Liebensraum?
	No.
	Although maybe Mexico needs a bit of Liebensraum.
	No, I'm joking.
	He's not even set up brown shirts.
	I mean, come on.
	Where are these comparisons here?
	Did you read through what are the comparisons that they say?
	Is it just rhetoric?
	Yeah, of course it is.
	It's all rhetorical, isn't it?
	And it's a stretch.
	And here's the Washington Post.
	Trump gets compared with history's great villain because his rhetoric is that bad.
	But he's leading in the polls...
	If his rhetoric is that bad, then you're condemning the majority of people who have voting intentions in the US. Exactly.
	That's sort of what they're trying to do anyway, isn't it?
	I'm being a bit facetious here.
	I pointed out recently, Karl put a tweet up on Twitter saying that, look at how bad the approval ratings are for our leaders.
	And, you know, Emmanuel Macron had an 18% approval rating.
	And I responded to it, and I think this is absolutely true.
	Western leaders see bad approval ratings as a sign they're doing something right.
	Because, like you've suggested there, they see the plebeian masses as little fascists in waiting.
	And so if they're pissing these little fascists off, they're pulling us onto the right side of history, whether by force or not, and doing it properly.
	I mean, I'm quite the elitist but even I think that's a bit strong.
	I think it's evil.
	Yes, it probably is.
	So, finally, there was this.
	This one flew by the wayside a little bit.
	Donald Trump compared to Hitler after vowing to invoke 1700s law used to justify Japanese internment camps.
	So, basically, Trump wants to use this law from 1798 to mass deport illegal immigrants.
	Wasn't it the administration of a Democrat who's considered mainstream history to be one of America's great heroes that set up those Japanese internment camps?
	May well be.
	But that's not a story that Democrats will tell you.
	Sorry, gotta drop a little Palpatine reference in there.
	But maybe there's something to this, because you see, Trump is about to go on a short Italian man who's bold on his podcast, and were there podcasts in the 1930s, I'm pretty sure Mussolini would have one, wouldn't he?
	I'd have been really interested in listening to that, because that would That'd be really entertaining.
	Have you seen the footage where there's a footage of him meeting Hitler, and he looks like a really weird guy.
	Like, he turns to the camera and goes...
	Oh, I've seen that, yeah.
	It's scary.
	It's like a jump scare.
	That's great.
	Also, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, manlets.
	The lot of them.
	All people can be trusted, can't they?
	The 1920s and 30s were the age of the manlet.
	And that's why everything went wrong.
	The age of the giant is nigh, isn't it, Harry?
	Yes, it certainly is.
	We're going to take things back.
	Fee-fi-fo-fum.
	So, yeah, Trump...
	I'm going to move on from that.
	Trump cancels all his events in favour of one of the worst people ever, this headline says, and that is Joe Rogan.
	Bit strong, calling him the...
	These people have the emotional rhetoric of a moody teenage girl.
	The worst person ever.
	So all those...
	What's her name?
	Scroll down.
	Where's her name?
	Samson says...
	Oh, Ellie Quinlan Hortling.
	Sorry, go back up.
	Look, her name's at the top of it.
	Ellie Quinlan Hortling.
	Okay.
	That's a ridiculous name.
	Yes.
	So, you know, Joe Rogan, worse than serial killers, murderers, nonces.
	I don't think so, personally.
	But anyway, Harris was also looking at going on Joe Rogan's podcast, which I think would be an utter disaster for her.
	She needs to do it.
	It would be hilarious.
	That would be amazing.
	It'd be a goldmine.
	Her having to remain consistent over a three-hour conversation with Joe Rogan as he lights up a spliff and starts asking her about chimpanzees.
	Could you imagine how much she would giggle if she gets a hit on Joe's joint?
	Horrible.
	It would be such a shrill noise that black holes would open up.
	But anyway, it's also worth mentioning that, just like Adolf, he's got an alliance with the East.
	Apparently Arabs are voting for Trump en masse for some reason.
	And apparently US fighters are saying that, UFC fighters, not US fighters.
	And it's also worth mentioning the Democrats, you know, are expelling...
	Muslim leaders from Kamala Harris's rallies, and they're not capturing the Arab vote, you know, so although it's not the Japanese this time, he is aligning with another eastern power that is looking to establish an empire.
	You know, basically the same thing, isn't it Harry?
	All makes sense.
	All makes sense to me.
	And it's worth mentioning as well that Trump has now surpassed Harris in a Wall Street Journal poll, which is quite significant.
	Obviously Wall Street Journal known for being very much regime stooges, and yeah.
	Biden says 14 days before the actual election, we've got to lock him up.
	And of course there's not actually anything they can legally do to lock him up before the election, so this is empty rhetoric, but it goes to show that they're pretty desperate.
	Also, this is stealing Trump's rhetoric from 2016?
	It is.
	Plagiarism again.
	All of the best Democrat rhetoric is reheated rhetoric from the right ten years ago.
	It genuinely is.
	Every time, isn't it?
	So yes, obviously Trump is not Hitler.
	Obviously they presented a quote that was meant to be hyperbolic to emphasise how loyal he wants his generals because they were giving him a headache and the fact that they've waited until just before this election to talk about it sort of shows that they were waiting to smear him right before the election to try and influence the result.
	It's not rocket science.
	You've seen it all before.
	Sorry, that went on a bit long, didn't it?
	No, that's fine, that's fine.
	This segment shouldn't be too long.
	So, I've got really good news for all of our American viewers.
	We were coming back.
	We were.
	The British were returning.
	But now we're not.
	The British aren't coming to America anymore.
	And this is in reference to the Labour Party plot.
	Where a load of Labour Party members were going to go over around 100.
	It was just under 100.
	Just under 100 to go and campaign on behalf of Democrats in swing states.
	I think it was North Carolina.
	They may not be wearing red coats, but they are wearing red rosettes.
	Even worse.
	Which would be confusing if you go to America, because America's the one country that the right are represented by the colour red, rather than the rest of the world.
	It was weird that they went with the communist colour, but...
	Oh, well, they have to be the opposite of England in every way, so of course they've got to switch the fullers over.
	But also, we've got the website merchandise available.
	You can get your Trump Fight mug.
	You can get my mouse to work.
	Thank you very much.
	You can get the Trump 24 t-shirt and a lot of other stuff.
	So please do that.
	Buy our merchandise to support the website.
	Keep us going.
	We'd really appreciate it.
	Thank you very much.
	So, this is something I wanted to point out first, which is that anonymous accounts on Twitter have been getting a lot of attention recently.
	Some of them have, in fact, been driving discourse and conversation.
	So here's a reminder for you.
	The Springfield, Ohio story about the Haitians potentially eating dogs...
	Cats.
	And cats, as Donald Trump memorably said in that...
	But actually geese.
	But actually geese.
	Who broke that story?
	Was it an anonymous account on Twitter?
	Yes, it was.
	It was someone I'm mutuals with who goes under the handle Captive Dreamer.
	He went onto the Ohio local government websites to see what was going on in this town that he'd seen where they dropped, I think it was like 20-50,000 Haitians over last year, and he went, what's going on?
	Watched one of the videos of their council meetings and found this woman saying that, you know, they're in my front yard, they're destroying everything, it's really difficult to live here now, they're really aggressive and violent towards me, He posted it.
	Massive news story to the point where it reaches Donald Trump, and he's shouting about it in a debate with Harris.
	So, that's pretty impressive, which shows the power of Anons on Twitter breaking news stories, and recently we've had Ellie Reeves complaining to the Conservative Party chair about the fact that another Anon, called Northern Variant, Good fella.
	Often shares my stuff.
	Good posts.
	I'm a mutual with him.
	Complaining about the fact that he supports Robert Jenrick, because he posted a picture of himself recently for the Conservative Party, putting his little ex in Robert Jenrick's name.
	I mean, the patrician's choice is obviously Kemi Badnock, but...
	Obviously.
	This podcast will always...
	Kemi, we got you.
	You're our gal, Kemi.
	Oh, I can barely say it with a straight face, but let's carry on.
	They point out that I can't believe you're being supported by this evil racist who, on 6th October 2024, made slurs about how Indians took control of the Tory party.
	I mean, they were literally headed by Rishi Sunak for a little bit.
	But there were also multiple people in Rishi Sunak's cabinet.
	And senior members of the Conservative Party that were Indian.
	It's not necessarily a controversial thing.
	E.T. Patel was Home Secretary during the period where our borders were massively held open for floods of Third World Immigration and Second World Immigration, a lot of it from India.
	Weird, that.
	And on 6th August 2024, commented on a post by Times Radio and referred to sexually incontinent low IQ Muslims, a statement that I, of course, will utterly disavow.
	But also, what's the context?
	Just a post.
	What was the story?
	Well, we'll find out.
	And they ask a few questions, because his real name is apparently Pete North, because that's what it's run on his substract that he links to on his page.
	We're not doxing him or anything.
	They're saying it details how he joined the Conservative Party before the general election in order to vote in any leadership contest, and they have some questions.
	What if any due diligence was done on Mr North's application to join the Conservative Party?
	Listen, they're hemorrhaging members.
	They need as many people as they can get, so I'm sure they don't really care.
	Is the Conservative Party so desperate for money that you allowed Mr.
	North to become a member despite his repeated racist comments?
	Will Mr.
	North's vote for Robert Jenrick be disallowed?
	So this is tone policing, bullying, cry-bullying from a Labour party chair over to the opposition.
	Basically he's trying to say, listen, here's, like in the first segment, here's our acceptable conversation, he's here.
	We may be here and you're here, but he's here, so get him out.
	Get him out.
	I wouldn't be surprised if the Conservative Party said we are the party of Indians and we're proud of it at this point.
	I mean, they basically have at this point, haven't they?
	Yeah, well, I mean, they posted an official Diwali message, didn't they?
	Yeah, this was also complained about by a spokesperson for the Muslim Council saying, I can't believe that racists and Islamophobes are part of the Conservative Party.
	And then Northern Variant...
	Wait a minute, if you go back...
	Oh yeah, yep.
	Gregory Davis is Bo's best mate.
	He's the person that wrote the article about Bo, isn't he?
	For Hope Not Hate.
	Yes, he is.
	There's a lot of collusion going on between all of these people who exist in a big club that we're not part of.
	Northern Variant had a big response to it, saying that I can't believe that Gregory Davis thought that this was the best research that he can find.
	I've said much worse than the stuff that he referred to.
	It was quite tepid, really.
	Yeah, it was.
	He says it's tone policing, which is absolutely correct.
	He says she stripped the coats of any context.
	The first quote, Indians took control of the Conservative Party.
	That's just true.
	And it also mentioned how he had attended the Homeland Party conference, which the letter said he was a speaker at.
	He corrects it.
	Says, I was invited as a panel guest, not as a speaker, not a member.
	The entire debate is on YouTube, in which my disagreements with the party are discussed and debated.
	I have no affiliation with the party.
	I intended as an independent political analyst And regarding to sexually incontinent low IQ Muslims He basically stands by that statement Which of course I can't say any more Well I mean government data seems to Support some aspects of that He says, I postulated that the riots this summer in part are consequence of the state dumping immigration sheets in working class communities at their expense, putting women and girls in danger.
	That's absolutely true.
	Statement is accurate, widely understood, and not disputed by most people.
	Again, I can't say much more on that.
	But if we go to the other bigger news regarding the Labour Party interference in the American election, that was all shared originally on October 17th by another mutual of mine, Max.
	Max Tempers.
	That's his online handle.
	I assume that is an anonymous title.
	He put out, I
	wonder why North Carolina was the one that they couldn't fill?
	Is it anything to do with a recent hurricane devastating it?
	That might have been a bit of a problem there.
	This got picked up by the news, this got picked up by us, this got picked up by a lot of people, to the point where Trump, again, like with the Springfield, Ohio story, heard about it in his campaign, filed a complaint over blatant foreign interference by Labour Party in the US election.
	They sent it over to, I think, the Federal Electoral Commission.
	The complaint claimed that there had been interference in the form of apparent illegal foreign national contributions made by the Labour Party of the UK, which had been accepted by Kamala Harris's campaign.
	It also mentions a Telegraph report that suggested that Morgan McSweeney, Sir Keir Starmer's Chief of Staff, and Matthew Doyle, his Director of Communications, attended a convention in Chicago and met with Ms Harris's campaign team.
	Now, this was reported on Yesterday by Conor, so for more information on that, check out the segment we did then.
	There's no evidence that Labour Party had made any financial contributions to the Democrat campaign, something that's prohibited under US law.
	So Sky News trying to play cover for it, but that wasn't the claim that was made.
	It's that they are shipping over people to campaign on behalf of Kamala Harris.
	Donald Trump and his campaign have a problem with that, so it's up to the Federal Electoral Commission to decide if that is a big problem.
	There are, of course, limits on how they can campaign, isn't there?
	Yes, and to be fair, this has had the intended effect because Labour Party staff, according to Politics UK, are cancelling their trips to the US to campaign for Kamala Harris after this complaint was put on.
	We could have got shot of 100 Labour Party members if you just kept your mouth shut.
	You know, we could have had some peace and quiet for a little while.
	Yeah, we could have, but Donald Trump, you know, I think he did.
	I think they would have helped Donald Trump, because they turn up with their red rosette and English accent to, you know, someone in North Carolina's door saying, have you thought about voting for Kamala?
	And they're like, shut up, red coat.
	Yeah, to be fair, maybe it would have been like getting the Labour Party conference video, the supercut that we did occasionally.
	Right on your doorstep, in your face, the dysgenics, right in your face, and you go, no, no thank you.
	Who are you voting for?
	Who do you want me to vote for?
	Kamala?
	No, I'll do the opposite then.
	Trump it is.
	Thank you for confirming.
	But the funny thing is, this story, I just wanted to highlight some funny things about this story, which is that it was picked up by everybody.
	And now everybody is taking credit for it when it originally came from Max.
	So it was originally...
	Liz Truss picked it up and he posted saying, hey, could I have credit for this?
	No?
	Any credit?
	Politics UK. The funny thing is you can always tell because of the number of engagement at the bottom, right?
	And how many hours ago you can sort of match it up to your screenshot if they've just copy and pasted it, right?
	You can do Marjorie Taylor Greene picked it up...
	Elon Musk picked it up after the grand villain Ian Miles Chung decided to post it, without any credit, of course.
	Not his real name, by the way.
	Based in Malaysia.
	Doesn't live in the West.
	It's really good that this story got out there.
	It's really good that this story got out there.
	But dammit...
	I want people to be credited for the hard work that they do.
	Hear, hear.
	Even if the work is just going onto LinkedIn and finding this, if he hadn't done that, none of you would have known about this in the first place.
	Well, the only reason Ian Miles Chong exists is because he parasitises the labour of others.
	That is very true.
	Politics UK picked it up and spread it.
	Politics UK were the ones who were referenced in the picture, in the complaint that they put into the Federal Electoral Commission.
	Screenshot from Politics UK. It was from Max!
	This is an outrage!
	It was from Max!
	I can't believe it.
	And still, Max says, bit much.
	Glad to see my screenshot maintain resolution through so many intermediaries.
	I'm on your side, Max.
	I know who it was, and I want to let the people know this story is thanks to you.
	We do our best to credit the creators of news.
	Yes, yes, we do.
	Rest in peace, some say, because again, Ian Miles Chong, being the leech that he is, leeched it away without giving any credit.
	He even said, if not for Elon Musk and X, no one would know this was happening.
	No, if it wasn't for Max finding the story in the first place, no one would know this is happening.
	It's great that so many big accounts picked it up and ran with it, because otherwise Trump wouldn't have heard of it, but still...
	Credit where credit is due.
	And so, I've seen it suggested, here's the solution for next time, which is just stick a watermark all over it.
	Anytime you post anything...
	You just have Albert Camus glancing in from the background there.
	Staring at you, judging you, saying, do you really want to steal this content?
	Do you want to steal this tweet without crediting it?
	You wouldn't steal a tweet.
	No, I don't think you would, would you?
	So, there's the story.
	That's just what I wanted to go over there.
	Give credit where credit is due, and where credit is due, if this story hadn't gone across, then you wouldn't have had the very, very desirable result of America not being invaded by Labour Party staff members.
	You're welcome.
	Well, while Samson is pulling up the video comments, I do have a bunch of the rumble chats through.
	Where is the mouse?
	Ah, here we go.
	I've got a bunch here.
	Danny Delete says, didn't Hitler's generals famously try and end him?
	So we already had generals like Mustache Man.
	That's true, yes.
	Trump had his wish, yeah.
	Yeah.
	Will Windpill Seeker?
	A blatant lie.
	Other witnesses said it never happened.
	Why would you believe any part of it like it's impossibility of Trump grabbing a driver by the clavicle?
	You are ruled by evil because you're gullible.
	I hope you're not on about me because I said I didn't believe it.
	Yeah, I think he is.
	Josh, like you said, was taking this at face value, but I think that was for the purposes of analysis.
	I do not think that the quotes that were being put forward were true.
	I explicitly said so.
	But thank you for the dollar.
	That's a random name, says Trump's 100% correct.
	They took advantage of his charity.
	He didn't get rich by wasting dollars, like paying more than $1 on Super Chats.
	Just kidding.
	He did Put two dollars in for that one.
	So thank you for your service.
	I respect that.
	My spending habits make my parents call me...
	I can't read that, but it's funny.
	Okay, GM Gauthier?
	I'm sorry if I'm mispronouncing that.
	Good morning Gauthier, maybe?
	Yeah, that's probably better.
	Ben Williamson, spokesman for Meadows.
	President Donald Trump absolutely did not say that.
	He was nothing but kind, gracious, and wanting to make sure they did right by Gloria Guillen.
	I mean, it seems strange to me that he would offer to pay for the funeral and then be that angry at the family.
	If it is true that they were trying to extract more money from him, then perhaps.
	But, like you said, if that is true, I would imagine it's the people arranging the funeral and not the family.
	Because, like all things to do with government bureaucracy, they will expand the bill as much as possible.
	Loyal people who then heard snatched bits of dialogue and only think to talk about it now.
	Total BS.
	Yes.
	And then Bobobad says, as a Trump supporter, according to The Atlantic, I normally goose-step to the polling station to vote in my dictator, Roman salute my Hugo Boss-clad brethren and get my McFascist meal as reward.
	Yes, it does deserve ridicule, doesn't it?
	And then Glee777 says, justice for Max.
	For $20.
	Thank you very much.
	And that's a random name, says, Trump told me Mustache Man should have finished me off in Minecraft, of course.
	Donald Trump notorious Minecraft player.
	He does.
	He's prolific for it.
	Hey look, it's me.
	I've never heard of melaka before.
	It's got a great ring to it, doesn't it?
	I'd never heard of kuma before until I joined Lotus Eaters.
	After Stelios, I'll be the second person here to marry a Greek.
	Proposal pending, wish me luck.
	Congratulations, by the way.
	Melaka is the first word that Greeks teach you, and it most literally translates as wanker, but far more pejoratively, implying physical or mental impotence, most akin to what we'd call a kuma.
	It's very versatile and can be substituted for any insult in a road rage incident, such as twat, dickhead, arsehole or prat.
	It also carries the connotations equivalent to the English bitch, so teenage Greeks can say to their friends, how's my bitches doing?
	Or posiste imilecasmo?
	You really have embraced your missus culture, and I respect that.
	That's good.
	This is the kind of European solidarity that we want to see.
	Also, I think you said engagement pending, so good luck when you pop the question.
	I've seen a lot of conservatives attack Farage for wanting to leave the ECHR as if it's like declaring World War III. I feel it's important to point out that the Azeris literally ethnically cleansed a big section of my homeland, of Armenia, and they are a member of the ECHR and an ally of the EU. All they got was a strongly worded letter.
	As far as I'm concerned, the ECHR is a completely illegitimate institution, and you should bring that up anytime someone tries to defend it.
	All institutions are illegitimate.
	All of these big international institutions, the ECHR, the EU itself, NATO, the UN, the government, they all do terrible things.
	Post office.
	Remember in the Balkans when NATO just started bombing, terror bombing civilians for the sake of peace and democracy?
	Yeah, that was really cool of them.
	Yeah, Helldivers wasn't very creative when they came up with that.
	Just murdering things for the sake of peace and democracy.
	I mean, that's what big governments do, isn't it?
	It is, yeah.
	And now some wholesome content.
	Come here.
	Come here.
	Go again!
	It's a little twist there.
	The dog actually gives the ball back as well.
	The dogs I grew up with, they'll run back to you, be really excited for you to throw the ball, but not give it back again.
	Very happy dog video.
	Oh, that's lovely.
	He's a really cute dog as well.
	This is a friendly reminder that bets and polls do not win elections.
	Votes win elections.
	So, if you need any assistance with voting in the American election, go to fvap.gov, get the information that you need in order to submit a ballot promptly, and maybe we can win this.
	Even if you are voting from New York or California, it doesn't matter.
	Vote anyway.
	It's very good.
	I always vote in elections.
	You know, even if it's completely meaningless, it's something.
	And normally, at least in Britain, there are so many places that you can vote that it's like a five, ten minute walk.
	And if you can't go five or ten minutes to try and make an effort to improve your country, then you don't really deserve it to be improved for you.
	So yeah, go out and do something.
	Even if you think, you know, we're not on...
	We're not sending these onto YouTube or anything anymore.
	Even if you think it's going to be stolen, still vote anyway, because it might be that the steal isn't enough to break down the tidal wave.
	Who knows?
	It's impossible to know the future, and so it's better to sort of hedge your bets.
	So we have some general comments.
	Okay, no worries.
	So, Swamp Dweller says, finally able to catch the podcast live from Florida.
	Always good to see my two favourite people in the morning.
	Thank you, Harry and Samson.
	That's hilarious, though.
	I don't think people...
	Do people know what you look like, Samson?
	My face is out there, but...
	The truth is out there.
	I feel like we need an X-Files theme in the background now.
	Is that it?
	I don't think so.
	Lucas Brozek says evil scientist plus northern monkey equals best team.
	I'm actually Josh's greatest experiment.
	He took a northerner and decided he wanted to try and civilise him.
	It's almost gone well.
	We're not quite there.
	There are a few kinks to work out, but it's going pretty well.
	I've started using the toilet.
	It's true.
	And stopped bathing in swamps, although begrudgingly.
	You know, it's a Britonic tradition.
	So, Bruce Pavilion says, I'm enjoying the suit aesthetic today, Josh, the Rugged Gamekeeper, and Harry the synthwave noir detective.
	Thank you very much.
	I'll take that, yeah.
	I thought, I said I looked like a combination between, you know, a country gent and a 60s newsreader, so I'll take Rugged Gamekeeper as well.
	Mr Bean?
	He didn't have a suit like this.
	He had a brown suit and a red tie.
	I'm very conscious of it, because I've got brown suits and red ties, and I don't want to do that.
	Make sure never to mix them.
	They should never mix, okay.
	So, would you like to read your comments?
	Yes.
	Alex Ogle says, I have submitted a 30-second book club on Soros before.
	The Chinese refer to him as a financial terrorist.
	The book is Unrestricted Warfare.
	That sounds about right, actually.
	China's based again.
	Can't keep getting away with it.
	Soros is not interested in controlling people or ruling the world.
	What he's motivated by is investing in whatever destabilizes any society or system so that he can profit from the upset.
	His open society is one that can be destabilized in whole or in part to generate profits when he wants them.
	Sounds a little bit like the old little finger chaos is a ladder kind of approach, which is true.
	Also, I think that Viktor Orban in Hungary has anti-NGO laws which are specifically targeted against Soros putting money into the country to interfere and destabilise.
	There's another chat that's come through from That's a Random Name again.
	He can't keep getting away with this.
	Speaking of experiments, one of my Cambodian friends looks like Black Skin Harry.
	I guess my experiment needs a bit more work.
	Any suggestions?
	Just feed him a diet of Greg's and he'll pale right up with malnourishment.
	I don't believe that there is anything like a Black Skin me out in the world anywhere.
	I want to believe.
	Alright, Mulder.
	It's like Twin Peaks, you know?
	You've got the White Lodge Harry and the Black Lodge Harry.
	So if you go into the Red Room, you're going to find backwards-dancing black me?
	Yes.
	To anyone who hasn't seen Twin Peaks, it sounds like our minds have just broken.
	That also reminds me of, it's in Community, when one of the characters, Troy, gets kidnapped by a secret society, and they try and initiate him, but they also try and make the story so ridiculous no one will believe them if he tells them about it.
	So they've got Black Hitler sat in the corner just watching everything to make the situation as ridiculous as possible.
	Sounds like a cool cult, to be fair.
	It works, it works.
	Oli Pei, great segment, thank you very much.
	No matter how much evidence and facts are presented, there are still people who deny this is happening and live in a bubble of their own reality.
	My workplace is full of this naivety and ignorance.
	It's all so tiresome.
	Yeah, and those are the people that people like Saurabh Amari and Compact Magazine are working to keep within regime-approved limits, because if they come to an organization like us, who do not go, who do not get Soros funding, I'd
	better take those down then.
	They do scare people when they come into the office, don't they?
	That's the idea.
	Why should we give someone who puts a picture of Stalin, the man who killed 20 million people, a pass?
	Assume he's a Stalinist until proven otherwise.
	Well, yes, and he's been a big supporter of Venezuela.
	I don't support the man politically, but I think it's good that he exists because he makes leftists look bad by being fat, smelly, and annoying.
	But he is really funny as well.
	Sometimes, yeah.
	I will give him that.
	Lady Dragonhawk, the so-called economic reforms are not improving anything.
	A bag of groceries that used to cost me 60 bucks is now north of 100 bucks.
	Gas has doubled for me.
	If those experts continue to serve, my son will probably have to sell his house and move back in with us.
	Well, I'm sorry that that is the case.
	Another reason why you shouldn't trust Sorabamari if he is peddling such obviously...
	Honestly dangerous ideas to continue to ruin the American economy.
	Lars Peter Simonson is going to say something that Josh is definitely going to agree with.
	Inflation is a triple theft.
	First, the government decreases the money value so your savings are worth less.
	Then the corporation try and stave off future losses by overcorrecting the prices, thus making your purchasing power immediately less.
	At last, the leftist propaganda try to steal the truth from you by blaming it all on the corporations.
	Mm-hmm.
	This is true.
	Lancelot, to quote Stefan Molyneux, so you try socialism and then it fails, but it's okay, because it wasn't real socialism, so you try socialism again, and then it fails, but it's okay, because it wasn't real socialism.
	So you try socialism again, and then it fails, but it's okay, but it wasn't real socialism.
	Et cetera, et cetera, go on and on.
	Why did you stop?
	It keeps going.
	I never stop.
	You never stop, because it was never real socialism.
	They don't stop coming.
	What?
	Okay, do you want to go on to your comments?
	Throwing you off with a bit of that.
	Arizona Desert Rat says, My sister's father-in-law's funeral was about 20k, and his was cheap, buried in a veteran's cemetery.
	The 60k sounds like the soldier was buried in a private cemetery instead of a veteran's cemetery.
	I think the idea was that it was going to be a veteran's cemetery.
	But then eventually they were buried in a private cemetery, which might have inflated the cost.
	I don't know what went on there.
	Any military member, current or former, is buried in a veteran cemetery for free.
	All you have to pay for is the embalming and casket.
	So yeah, that's what I imagine Trump was expecting.
	And the fact that it was 60k is a lot.
	Bleach Demon, this spacious article about...
	Specious.
	Specious.
	I don't know why I read spacious.
	It's such a spacious, cozy article.
	A lot of room for thinking.
	I must be getting ill.
	On Trump is literally Hitler.
	I can't speak.
	It's typical of October surprise that has been pulled since the 1844 election.
	It appears like clockwork every four years, and then like a tempest in a teapot gets dumped out for some fresh propaganda.
	Absolutely.
	George Hap says the Dems screeching about Hitler may be a sign that they arrived at the conclusion that for no reason at all the populace will elect Trump.
	In other words, they are afraid that they won't be able to fortify it this time.
	Yeah, it's possible.
	I'm...
	I really don't know what's going to happen in this next election.
	You know, I know usually commentators like to have an opinion and say this is going to happen, but my honest opinion is that it could go one of two ways.
	Maybe, I think the method of fortification is that they've bust in all the illegals and positioned them strategically across the country, which is why you get those Haitians in Springfield, is that they want to swing the swing states and, you know, the other ones are sort of cover for a very obvious scheme.
	But it might not even be enough to cover it because it seems like actual Americans who were there before the Biden term, not the new American citizens, are going to vote overwhelmingly in favour of Trump.
	But it's whether the illegals swing it.
	But then also, illegals don't really vote that much.
	So it's a weird one.
	There are so many factors at play here that it's impossible to know.
	Well, the best info that I have outside of the polls swinging in Trump's favour, and also the betting swinging in Trump's favour, is that my own parents were in America recently for three weeks, so if you were in Florida, Alabama, Georgia, any of those southern states, you might have met my parents without even realising it.
	And my dad is a curious fellow, and every single person that he met, the first thing out of his mouth was, so there's an election coming up soon.
	Who are you thinking of voting for?
	Every single person that he met said Trump.
	I'm surprised people were so candid about it.
	It's quite a rude question to ask someone at first, isn't it?
	My dad doesn't care.
	He's 71.
	He's too old to care.
	I suppose if an old British man asks you a question, the sort of instinct kicks in and they're like, yes, sir.
	They still know, deep down.
	It's in their blood.
	I'm only kidding, by the way, Americans.
	Where was I? I was reading questions, wasn't I? Questions?
	Comments?
	I'm really going crazy.
	This fever is not doing me well.
	Alpha of the Beta says, if a general tells Trump German generals try to kill Hitler three times, that's a threat.
	That's true.
	I'll read one more.
	Captain Charlie the Beagle says, Trump is literally Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini, so you're saying Trump is a socialist now.
	That's true, yeah.
	Oh no, there's one more of yours that I've got to read.
	Palest Son of Jacob.
	Trump is using Hitler's language, skibbity-biden.
	Do you remember that?
	Did you see that?
	Stephen Colbert, wasn't it?
	Yes.
	That alone was enough to condemn the American television network system.
	As opposed to all the other crimes.
	As opposed to all of the noncing.
	I could deal with that.
	But Skibbity Biden was a step too far.
	Every man has to have a line.
	And this is mine.
	Alright, some of my comments for the third segment.
	Lady Dragonhawk pushes glasses up.
	Actually, the phrase wasn't the British are coming, it was the regulars are coming.
	No one cares.
	The British are coming is a much more iconic line.
	Arizona Desert Rat.
	Hey, we fought a year 250 years ago to boot the British out, stay out of our elections.
	We want them to stay out of your elections as well, don't worry.
	We've got two new chats in, I swear to god.
	Even his smile is the same, he's just 5'8", same height as Harry.
	Again, work in progress.
	Yeah, Harry's actually...
	I'm actually 5'3".
	He's stood up right now.
	He's not even in a chair.
	I've been adding an extra foot onto my height this whole time to trick people.
	Anybody who's met me in person, I was wearing stilts.
	Sorry to brag.
	That's true.
	I'm very torso heavy.
	Josh, you started losing IQ points after my $2 super check.
	Clear proof I need to remain at $1.
	This is true.
	That threw you.
	He hits me because he loves me.
	Oh my god.
	Baron Von Warhawk.
	So the rumours of the Russians interfering in an election for the Republicans results in a two-year investigation that does nothing but waste tax dollars.
	But clear attempts from perfidious Albion, I take that personally, to interfere in an election for the Democrats causes nothing to happen.
	It's not all of us.
	We're interfering in a positive way.
	Josh is pretty perfidious, though.
	You're a perfidious as well.
	Moving on.
	Vince Disco.
	The Labour Party haven't actually donated to us chuds.
	No, they're sending over active campaigners instead, which is worse.
	Furious Dan.
	If Americans smile, do Brits skill-a-meter?
	But we use Miles as well.
	We invented Miles.
	You know, the imperial measures are called imperial measures because of the Empire of Britain.
	Oi, I took that one personally, I'm afraid.
	I don't know if I can carry on after that.
	I'm hurt.
	I think I died.
	I'm hurt deeply and emotionally after that.
	You know, I can do dad jokes, but that actually gave me a heart attack.
	I'll carry on for the last one while we've got a minute left.
	Yeah, I saw Destiny trying to do that.
	And it was really embarrassing, because Destiny's a girl's name, and also, he's a cuck.
	So you can immediately disregard anything he has to say.
	Never address the substance of their points.
	Their points have no substance.
	He literally sat in the corner while men run a train on his wife.
	So, no, don't listen to him.
	And he looks like a man, though.
	He is a man, though.
	That's why.
	And on that lovely note, it's time to end the show.
	Obviously, same time again tomorrow, and also I believe Calvin's Common Sense Crusade is going to be on in half an hour on this very website.
	And so, thank you very much for watching, hope you stick around for Common Sense Crusade, and goodbye.
	After the roaring success of our UK election coverage, we are indeed doing another massive Load Seaters livestream to cover the US elections on Tuesday the 5th of November.
	We will have a giant roster of guests both in the studio and remotely via Zoom and we will be live streaming on Rumble so we'll be able to say exactly what we think, no holds barred.
	Do tune in, it's going to be great and hopefully we'll be ringing in Trump's second term or perhaps we'll be having a massive meltdown Who knows what the future holds?
